Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 329
The sun in the afternoon is the most vicious, but people can’t resist the mood of watching the excitement. The vendors are all smart. On such a hot day, iced sour plum soup, honey ice bars, etc. are all very popular. In the city, there are many small vendors. Truck after truck, these things were pushed to the Martial Arts Field not far outside the city.

Now, Shanyang has a special ice-making workshop, which wholesales this kind of frozen products to vendors at low prices. Pull it to a place, make a stop, and all the things can be sold out.

This is a virtuous circle brought about by a good economic situation. Someone consumes, and someone makes money. Those who make money consume again, and the original consumers earn back. Money rolls in the market, and everyone enjoys what they want. need.

In hot and dry weather, the time for performing martial arts should not be too long. The first round is the demonstration of the Xuanjia army rushing into the formation. In front of this kind of heavy cavalry, straw figures, wooden figures and the like are not enough to watch, Su Dingfang What was prepared for them were dozens of earth walls with a thickness of more than one foot.

After Li Shimin and a group of ministers of civil and military affairs sat down in the arbor that had been set up, the martial arts performance was announced immediately. In order to achieve the political purpose of making Shiwei and Mohe tribes surrender to the Tang Dynasty, Sun Xiangfu arranged their seats to watch at I found the position closest to the earth wall. If there is no accident, wait a while, this will also be the position of the vertical target.

"woooo~"

The horns of the Xuanjia Army's charge were blown, and under a burst of cold iron, the sound of rumbling horseshoes, accompanied by the trembling of the earth, resounded on the field. Many people who have often seen tens of thousands of cattle and sheep migrating and running on the grassland The herdsmen were all shocked by this noise, and their hearts were beating wildly.

Soon, the forwards of the team approached the earthen walls. The knights who led the team were whistling with the mace in their hands. The knights in the platoon staggered their positions, and then, in the next scene, the scene of armored horses rushing straight into the earth wall appeared.

"Boom..."

The dust was flying, and the running horses, relying solely on the force of inertia, smashed the first wall into pieces, and then, the maces in the hands of the first row of knights smashed on the second dirt wall, At the moment of this collision, the first two earthen walls were directly smashed into slag.

However, the Xuanjia cavalry with such brute force did not just rely on brute force blindly when fighting. The knights in the first row, after waving the mace in their hands, immediately began to slowly turn their horses to the right. , because of the impact of the first wall, their horse speed has dropped. Although the horses have thick shields and horns on their chests, continuous collisions can easily cause damage to the internal organs of the horses. It is not a real confrontation. time, there is no need for this.

At this time, on the left side of the first row of knights, the second row of Xuanjia cavalry who were still running at high speed hit the third wall and collapsed the fourth wall. Using the same method of controlling horses, they followed closely. As the first column of knights turned their horses and retreated backwards, the entire advance and retreat were very measured, and the following columns remained the same.

"The Xuanjia cavalry is so heavily armed, but they can still control it freely. They are really the most powerful army in the world."

Li Jing is not the commander of the Xuanjia Cavalry. In fact, except for Li Shimin, no one can be the official commander of this army. Generals like Dugu Mou, Chang He, Li Junxian, etc. are all temporary Take the lead, and after completing the specific task, hand over the order immediately.

To be praised so highly by Li Jing, Li Shimin's face was full of color. You don't need to look at him to know the situation behind. If it is the enemy cavalry, thousands of people may die in the hands of this cup of tea. If it is the infantry, it will be even more difficult to say. A formation of [-] to [-] infantry, It is possible to be directly crashed by these five thousand heavy cavalry.

Pieces of soil flew up, and some even flew directly near the pergola. Qu Zhisheng, Mo Hefu, A Sulang and others all subconsciously made some evasive movements, and the panic on their faces could not be concealed.

But don't think that they are not afraid of death in the half-savage state. Under the impact of this kind of powerful cavalry, they don't think that the walls of their tribe or the walls of their kingdom can hold them back.

Moreover, being shocked by this devastating scene, they will not think about things other than the confrontation for a while. If Datang really wants to use weapons against them, the difficulty is not in attacking fortifications, but in how to send his own generals. To fight thousands of miles away, the food, grass, consumables, and supplies are the most difficult problems facing the Tang Dynasty. In a real head-to-head confrontation, they are half-savages, how can they compare with the heavily armed Tang army? Woolen cloth!
As far as the current actual situation is concerned, in terms of tactics, tactics, equipment, and other aspects, Datang's level of civilization surpasses them by more than one level.

Different from Yi Nan's increasingly rejoicing feeling, the tribal leaders who have not surrendered to the Tang Dynasty have no resistance to submitting to the Tang Dynasty at this moment, because this is their grassland, and the semi-savages in the white mountains and black waters Their beliefs, worshiping the strong, and following in the footsteps of the strong are their traditions.

It wasn't just the tribal leaders who were trembling in their hearts, the common people watching from outside the cordon not far away also cheered like a tsunami after seeing the Xuanjia cavalry break down the earth wall and regroup.

The Han people in Datang will be proud of having such a strong army, and they will submit to the herdsmen and people under the command of Datang, and because Datang has such a powerful army, they feel that their happy life has an extra layer of protection, compared with the past The kind of life they lived under Xieli or Tuli's men, and the life they are living now, is simply like a fairy, what is there to be dissatisfied with!

Of course, such a cool performance show can also have many benefits. For example, the tens of thousands of Hu soldiers in the Anbei Army have also increased their sense of identity and loyalty to Datang at the moment. It was slowly formed through various similar things, and as long as Datang remained the strongest, there would not be so many bad things happening.

The generals of the guards are not stunned like Sun Xiangfu. They know how to show their own characteristics while highlighting the emperor's power. Only by making the emperor feel stronger than you will they not be suspicious of you.

Therefore, the performances of the Sixteenth Guards in the back were either riding and shooting hunting targets, or light cavalry charging into the formation, chopping grass men, wooden stakes, or directly performing fancy cavalry changing formations while running, showing how these generals are capable of fighting. The control ability of the cavalry command.However, they all have their own characteristics, and their momentum is not weak. In this situation, Su Dingfang, who was sitting next to Sun Xiangfu, called out to these generals that they were slippery, and asked whether his An Beijun should be more careful when he came on the field later.

Sun Xiangfu doesn't have such awareness at all, or he has it, but he doesn't want to hide it. Completing political tasks is his goal, and he is not a general who needs to lead troops to fight in order to gain a foothold in the court. Therefore, he He didn't have so many scruples at all, so he refused Su Dingfang's request, and after that, he could only wrong the fierce general to sit on the military bench with him.

"General Su, it's our turn for the next match. Tell the boys to show their best abilities and show off the majesty of our Anbei Army. This is an order and a political task."

Even though he was a little reluctant, Su Dingfang couldn't say anything because of his orders. After he got up and went out, he walked towards the gathering place of the Anbei Army. was replaced with a new one.

"One two one, one two one..."

A group of about 3000 soldiers took the lead and ran to the straw man archery target with their longbows on their backs. On their backs, each had two pots of arrow shafts without arrowheads. The tops of the arrow shafts were stained with white lime, and the arrows hit. The people with the white lime will definitely be stained with this white lime, and the direction they are facing is the direction where the Anbei Army is about to charge.

"Hey, you, the Anbei Army, are going to stage a real combat training!"

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Sun Xiangfu who was not far away.

"That's natural. The generals of the guards like to play tricks, and our Anbei Army just came out with some real skills to stimulate them." Sun Xiangfu said very confidently.

Soon, the cavalry commanding general Abu Tusi finished his formation, and with a whistle, [-] cavalry launched an attack on the target position with [-] archers.

"Elevation four, continuous shooting."

When the cavalry was more than 300 steps away from the target position, the captain in charge of commanding the target position gave the order to shoot.

Li Shimin, who is quite knowledgeable about military matters, shook his head when he heard the order from the captain. Although he didn't understand what the captain called out "high level four", he knew that even these soldiers could Even a strong man who has opened three stone bows cannot shoot an arrow three hundred paces away, and he has to complete continuous shooting.

However, the next moment, he was dumbfounded, not only him, but also the generals sitting there.

Because the arrows shot by those longbowmen did fly a long way, and they were about to hit the galloping cavalry head-on.

At this moment, they have not noticed that there is a problem with the longbows in the hands of these longbowmen. There are pulley blocks on both ends of the bowstring. The stone bow, but two stone bows, were able to shoot within the range of the cavalry, because the commanding lieutenant had roughly calculated the running speed of the cavalry, and they only needed to shoot the arrow to a position of about 150 steps. It can guarantee that the landing point of the arrow can hit the most forward of the cavalry.

However, just when everyone thought that these charging cavalrymen were about to be hit by arrows, a scene that made everyone even more dumbfounded appeared. Under the whistle of Abu Tusi, these five thousand cavalrymen actually used a trick to hide in the stirrups at the same time, shrinking Formed into a ball, at the same time, he took off a round shield hanging from the victory hook, and protected his body tightly.

The running horses had visors and shields on their chests. Immediately, those arrows hit the shields and made a clanging sound. However, few of them seemed to be hit by arrows stained with white lime.

"This riding skill is really amazing."

Li Jing couldn't help but praise, the cavalry who can not be afraid of intensive bow and arrow shooting at long distances is definitely a strong army, because once those archers are approached by the cavalry, they will definitely be slaughtered.

Moreover, the archers at these targets are also strong troops, because they have more than half a year of professional training, they choose to shoot with precise timing and perfect placement, and they can really complete continuous shooting with the longbow in their hands.
