Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 489 Wooden Army Legend (2)

"Your Highness, the last general, the last general..."

Li Xian usually doesn't get angry, but once he gets angry, it's like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. No one in Hexi can stand up to it. All the generals who have followed Li Xian for a long time know this well. At this moment, seeing Li Xian's complexion was unkind, neither the calm Xiao Sanlang nor the rough-natured Agutai could bear it any longer. After secretly exchanging glances with each other, Agutai was the first to speak. When Fang came out, Li Xian glared at him fiercely, and was immediately frightened to the point where he didn't know what to say.

"Your Highness, the last generals failed to stop the gang fight, which led to a big mistake. They dare not shirk their responsibility. I implore Your Highness to come down!"

Seeing that Agutai stuttered, Xiao Sanlang muttered in his stomach, and scorned him fiercely, but he didn't dare to show anything inappropriate in front of Li Xian, so he had to hurry Speak out to relieve Agutai, let alone the depression in his heart.

"Agutai, Gu once issued an order that the Martial Arts Field in the south of the city is dedicated to the First Regiment. Why did you enter without authorization, huh?"

Li Xian glanced at Xiao Sanlang, but ignored his plea. Instead, he looked at the embarrassed Agutai coldly, and squeezed out a bad word from his teeth.

"The last general, the last general knew his mistake, please punish him, Your Highness!"

Agutai was also very single, knowing that he might not be able to avoid this punishment, he didn't intend to put the blame on Li He, so he confessed the crime straightforwardly.

"Know your mistake? You, Agutai, still have time to know your mistake? Don't you hear me wrong, huh?"

Li Xian seemed to be in a fit of anger, his face was always dark and calm, not softened by Agutai's confession, and his voice remained cold.

"Your Highness, the last general, the last general..."

Agutai has always been a master who is not afraid of anything, but facing Li Xian who is in a rage, his courage has shrunk so badly, the sweat on his forehead is gushing like a spring, he stutters and cannot speak Complete words come.

"Go away, go to the Military Law Department to get a hundred army sticks!"

Li Xian led troops to fight all the year round, so how could he not be aware of the turmoil in the army? There is no doubt that the relatively simple-minded master in front of him is just a scapegoat who was pushed out to make trouble. Well, it's just that Li He and other cavalry generals didn't like the first regiment, and tried to make things difficult. Li Xian really didn't bother to take care of such shitty things. To be honest, even if he did, It was also difficult to manage it, and I was too lazy to talk nonsense with Agutai, so I snorted coldly and gave a heavy punishment.

"Ah, Your Highness, the last general..."

When he heard that he was going to be hit with a hundred military sticks, Agutai was immediately dumbfounded, crying out for injustice, you must know that there have always been many gang fights in this army, basically the subordinates did not report them, and the superiors turned a blind eye. It passed by in a blink of an eye, but it happened that he, Agutai, was unlucky, and Li Xian caught him in a daze. The hundred army sticks will be beaten down, and he may not be able to get out of bed for half a month. It's really not that good Waiting to ask for mercy, but when he saw Li Xian's expression was unkind, he didn't dare to say that, and was so anxious that Jin Xing burst out in front of his eyes.

"Why? Still think it's too light? How about adding another hundred alone?"

For Agutai's bravery, Li Xian still cherishes his talents, and he also intends to use them to a large extent. Like a wooden chicken, I couldn't help but feel amused, but I didn't bring it to my face, I just let out a cold grunt.

"Ah, don't, Your Highness, don't, I will accept the punishment in the end, I will accept the punishment in the end!"

Although Agutai was a little reckless, he was not a fool. If he refused to listen, he would be punished more. How could he dare to be negligent? Out of the arena.

"Hahaha……"

"Escape, hahaha..."

"Go away!"

The soldiers of the first regiment have been bullied by various cavalry troops for the past few months. They have been bullied terribly, and they have been holding back their anger. Otherwise, they would not have brazenly fought under the nose of the general In the group fight, seeing Agutai's tribe running away, all of them shouted wildly with excitement.

"gather!"

For the embarrassment of Agutai's subordinates, Xiao Sanlang also felt very relieved, but he didn't dare to do anything inappropriate in front of Li Xian. After all, he himself is now being punished, and he doesn't know what Li Xian will do. Punish him, how dare he be so happy, and then see the officers and soldiers under him making a fuss, fearing that Li Xian would be surprised, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious, turned around quickly, and stopped drinking when he was full of breath. With a sound.

"The first company gathers, look to the left!"

"The third company, assemble!"

"Ninth Company, line up!"

Under Xiao Sanlang's loud roar, all the officers and soldiers woke up, and they didn't dare to make a fuss anymore. Following the command of each company commander, the nine square formations took shape in a few breaths, neat and orderly. It is quite neat, but not to mention the noses and faces are swollen, and the military uniforms on their bodies are also in disarray, not to mention that the wooden guns carried by many officers and soldiers on their shoulders have long been broken. Arranged in this way, the image is really not much better. However, what makes Li Xian really dissatisfied is not these superficial things, but the lack of an invincible aura among the officers and soldiers. In other words, the military spirit of this army has not yet formed, of course , This responsibility is caused by many aspects, and Xiao Sanlang can't be completely blamed on it. Speaking of it, Li Xian himself can't get rid of it. After all, there is no strong army that can be trained by using wooden sticks as spearmen.

"Report, the Ninth Company of the regiment has assembled, please give instructions from Your Highness!"

After the assembly of each company was over, the commanders of each company trotted to Xiao Sanlang and raised their hands to salute and report, while Xiao Sanlang returned the salute one by one in strict accordance with the regulations stipulated in the "Infantry Drill Code". A voice reported.

"Take a break!"

Li Xian had a wide range of interests when he went to college in the later life. He not only liked traveling, but also liked the military. He especially liked to read the military history of World War I and World War II and various infantry drills. However, he had not received formal military training. How to train and even tactics in the army can only be said to have a little knowledge, and the "Infantry Manual" that was concocted is just a brief outline. However, Li Xian is no stranger to military uniforms and military salutes. Now, when he saw Xiao Sanlang wearing a big cap saluting to him, Li Xian felt dizzy as if he had traveled through time and space again. Fortunately, Li Xian had a strong self-control ability, so he didn't make a fool of himself because of it. As soon as he raised his hand, he also returned a standard military salute.

"Yes!"

Xiao Sanlang complied angrily, turned sideways, and stepped aside.

"Everyone has it, stand at attention!"

Li Xian strode forward to the front of the formations, he was full of energy, and gave a loud drink.

"Snapped!"

Following Li Xian's command, more than a thousand soldiers of the first regiment straightened their legs together and straightened their backs. Their expressions were very solemn, but they looked at Li Xian with doubts in their eyes. , obviously, a group of officers and soldiers were deeply puzzled and puzzled by the fact that Li Xian was able to call the password according to the "Infantry Exercise Code".

"Take a break!"

The first regiment is the cornerstone of military reform, so it is naturally the most important thing, and Li Xian must not ignore it. In fact, Li Xian has already been mentally prepared for the difficulties that may be encountered in training. The purpose of coming here is for two things. One is to inspect the troops and test Xiao Sanlang's ability to lead troops by the way. The other is to cheer up the troops and help them build confidence, which is conducive to the cultivation of the army soul Well, for this reason, Li Xian took some time to practice the military rules and discipline several times. It is impossible for him to make a mistake in such small details. The voice of the password can be said to be extremely standard.

"Snapped!"

There was another crisp sound, and more than a thousand officers and soldiers stretched out their right legs sideways like one person, taking a resting posture, neat and uniform, it can be seen that Xiao Sanlang's training on this is quite good.

"What kind of army are you waiting for? Huh? Answer Gu!"

Li Xian looked around at the soldiers and asked in a calm voice.

"First Regiment of the Army."

The officers and soldiers obviously didn't expect Li Xian to ask such a question, and they didn't know how to respond for a moment. The scene immediately fell into an embarrassing silence. In the end, a soldier standing in the middle of the queue timidly appeared One sentence immediately attracted the attention of all the officers and soldiers in the audience, and immediately made the soldier's face flushed like blood with embarrassment, and he could barely lift his head.

"You, come out!"

Li Xian stared blankly at the soldier who answered, and followed the command of the exercise code, and took a deep breath.

"Your highness, your highness, little one, little one..."

The soldier who had been called looked around in panic, shrank slightly, and seemed to want to retreat, but in the end he still didn't do that, but summoned up his courage, strode out of the queue, and raised his hand He saluted with his hands, and tried to report according to the drill, but after all, he was too nervous, and when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say a word.

"Name, rank?"

Li Xian didn't care about the soldier's rudeness, but he didn't say anything encouraging, but asked calmly.

"Private Lu Sansheng!"

When Li Xian asked such a question, Xiao Bing straightened up reflexively, saluted with a "snap", and replied loudly.

"Relax!" Li Xian returned the salute according to the code of practice, and then said in a slightly slower tone: "Private soldier, let me ask you, what kind of army are you?"

"Report Your Highness, it is the First Regiment of the Army!"

Lu Sansheng once again stood at attention and saluted reflexively, and replied loudly, his words were clean and powerful, without the previous sense of sloppiness.

"Very good, do you know the meaning of the first regiment?"

Li Xian was obviously quite satisfied with Lu Sansheng's performance, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't express anything about it, but continued to ask.

"Report Your Highness, the subordinates don't know, please tell Your Highness clearly!"

Lu Sansheng obviously let go completely, and answered Li Xian's question with a lot of energy.

"Huh? Can anyone among you tell what the significance of the first regiment is?"

Li Xian didn't ask Lu Sansheng any more, but looked around at the nervous soldiers and threw the question to them.

Dead silence, dead silence!Li Xian's question is really strange, it is completely out of the scope of the "Infantry Manual", the soldiers don't know where to start to answer, although many soldiers have their own opinions in their hearts, but this is the time But none of them dared to speak casually, so the scene turned cold.
