Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 490 Wooden Army Legend (3)

"Report, Your Highness, General Li He is seeking an audience outside the court!"

In the cold scene, a sentry rushed over from the gate of the Martial Arts Field, stood at attention and saluted Li Xian, and reported loudly.

"pass!"

When Li He heard that Li He had arrived, Li Xian frowned slightly unconsciously, but he didn't show much, he just raised his hand and gave a calm order.

"Yes!"

Now that Li Xian had given the order, the sentinel dared not neglect to go, hurriedly saluted, loudly agreed to leave, and after a while, he saw Li He, who was in full armor, following the sentry and hurried towards the queue. When he rushed over, his face was very solemn, but there was a hint of fear in his eyes - as the highest military officer in the backing city, Li He naturally knew Li Xian's concern for this so-called "First Army Regiment". However, he himself does not have the slightest affection for this "wooden army". He really can't figure out how useful such a wooden stick army with strange costumes can be, if the two don't match up, that's all. Unfortunately, this "wooden army" stayed in the backing city so hard that they could not die, and even if they monopolized the martial arts field in the south of the city, they were treated exactly the same as their own Hehuang army. Li He is a bit of a taster, and he often wears Xiao Sanlang's small shoes on weekdays, but most of them are dressed in beautiful business clothes. Even if Xiao Sanlang goes to Li Xian to make a small report, Li He is not afraid, However, today's incident was obviously a bit big, and Li Xian caught him. As soon as Li He got Agutai's report, his head immediately grew a little bit bigger, but he didn't dare to hide, he could only be stubborn. He came to the door with a scalp to ask for sin, and he was in this mood, and he couldn't be much better.

"The last general sees His Highness!"

As soon as he arrived in front of Li Xian, Li He rushed forward in a hurry, and respectfully saluted him.

"Ah."

Regarding Li He's meeting ceremony, Li Xian neither jokingly and casually like when we met in the past, nor did he speak out to reprimand him for his ineffective command of the army, but just waved his hands with a flat face, signaling him to stand aside.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Seeing Li Xian's expression like this, Li He couldn't help but feel a little more panic in his heart, but he didn't dare to say more, he could only thank him politely, and retreated to the position next to Xiao Sanlang.

"Is there anyone who can answer the lonely question?"

After being interrupted by Li He, although the previous silence was resolved, no one answered the question, but Li Xian didn't care, and asked loudly again.

"Report Your Highness, the general thinks our regiment is an experimental army!"

After Li Xian asked the question again, a company commander standing at the front of the queue finally couldn't help standing up and answered loudly.

"Well, is there anything else?"

The nine company commanders were all from the Prince's Mansion Guards, and Li Xian knew them all very well. Seeing that it was the first company commander Chen Shuangyong who stood up, he slowed down his tone a little and nodded encouragingly, but he didn't He was not in a hurry to comment, but continued to ask questions.

"Returning to Your Highness, the general thought that our regiment would become the strongest army in the army, and it would definitely live up to the reputation of number one!"

Although Chen Shuangyong came from the guard of the Prince's Mansion, he was far from being the core figure of the Prince's Mansion. He didn't really understand the significance of the establishment of the first regiment, but he vaguely felt that there must be a deep meaning in it. Now that Li Xian has Asked, he followed the literal meaning and extended it. Although the words were powerful and powerful, the slightly flickering eyes revealed that he was not as confident in his heart as he appeared on the surface.

"Good answer, enroll!"

Li Xian is a very shrewd person, and he could tell at a glance that Chen Shuangyong's words were insincere, but he didn't take it to heart, because Li Xian knew very well that these soldiers would never really understand the power of muskets. It may be that it is the spirit of the army that builds its true confidence, and it will not blame Chen Shuangyong, but just encourages him with a smile, and then waved his hand to signal Chen Shuangyong to return to the team.

"Yes!"

Being encouraged by Li Xianzhi in public, Chen Shuangyong was extremely excited, so he hurriedly saluted, turned around neatly, and trotted back to the front of the queue. It didn't matter if he retreated, but it made Lu Sansheng feel a little nervous I couldn't bear it anymore, I wanted to retreat but didn't dare to retreat, I wanted to report, but I didn't know what to say, the red face that had just subsided was turned purple from the suffocation.

"Come up!"

Li Xian's eyes were very good, and he saw Chen Shuangyong's embarrassment, but he didn't pay attention to it, but waved his hand and shouted, Liu Ziming and other guards carried a rectangular box from behind Walking forward, he opened the lid of the box, revealing the contents inside. There were dozens of guns, which were exactly the same shape as the guns held by the soldiers of the first regiment, except that the front of the guns was no longer made of wood. It is made of a dark and slender iron pipe.

"Buzz..."

The soldiers of the first regiment have been training with wooden guns for more than three months, so they are not unfamiliar with guns, and they are familiar with the performance, power and steps of using the guns from the "Infantry Manual". I have never seen the so-called musket with my own eyes, and now I see that the box is the legendary sharp weapon. Even though Li Xian is in front of me, I can't help but start talking nonsense. Became one piece.

"Lu Sansheng!"

Li Xian didn't move those guns, nor did he stop the commotion of the officers and soldiers, but called Lu Sansheng's name solemnly.

"To!"

The box was placed next to Lu Sansheng. With his curiosity aroused, Lu Sansheng unceremoniously came to get the moon first. Just as he was watching, he suddenly heard Li Xian's roll call, and he was immediately frightened With a big jump, he didn't dare to stare at the box, hurriedly straightened up, and replied loudly.

"Do you know what's in the box?"

Li Xian pointed to the musket in the box and asked calmly.

"If you go back to His Highness, the subordinates will recognize it, it's a musket!"

Lu Sansheng raised his chest, and unconsciously tightened his grip on the fake gun, but his eyes secretly aimed at the real thing in the box.

"Good answer, will it work?"

Looking at Lu Sansheng's eagerness to try, Li Xian couldn't help being amused, but he didn't feel embarrassed, just asked with a smile.

"Returning to His Highness, the subordinates have learned it, but have never used it, so it should work!"

Lu Sansheng was obviously a clever man, and when he heard that Li Xian wanted to let him test the gun, he immediately became excited, puffed up his chest, and replied quite confidently.

"Want to use it?"

Seeing the unconcealable excitement on Lu Sansheng's face, Li Xian couldn't help but smile, and asked with a smile.

"I want to! I want to dream!"

When Lu Sansheng heard this, he was overjoyed, and replied neatly.

"Well, I will give you this chance. Go, pick a gun, Ziming, prepare for the target!"

Li Xian didn't tease Lu Sansheng any more, and simply gave Lu Sansheng a chance to test the gun. With this order, Lu Sansheng was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth. He didn't even care about answering, so he just lay down in the box, left and right. The land was picked, and Liu Ziming and others hurriedly set up several square wooden rakes at a distance of fifty steps away from the square formation.

"The company commanders of each company come out!"

After the target position was set up, Li Xian looked around at the officers and soldiers who were blushing with greed, smiled faintly, waved his hand, and gave an order.

"Company commander Chen Shuangyong!"

"Second company commander Sang Mingliang!"

"Li Siyi, commander of the third company!"

The company commanders of each company were all from the royal guards. They had seen the prototype of the musket with Li Xian in the research institute, but they had never witnessed the power of the musket with their own eyes, let alone used it with their own hands. Lu Sansheng, who used a real gun, was extremely jealous. Hearing that Li Xian wanted to let him play a trick, everyone immediately became excited, and almost rushed out of the queue one by one, shouting their names loudly.

"Gun inspection!"

Li Xian didn't talk nonsense, and gave the order directly.

"Yes!"

The company commanders of all companies agreed in unison, and rushed to grab the box. Without any explanation, they pushed aside Lu Sansheng who was still changing guns, and each stretched out their hands to snatch it. After a long period of commotion, they finally snatched it. When I got a fancy rifle, I couldn't put it down and played with it non-stop.

"Ziming, give them bullets!"

Li Xian didn't care about the gaffes of the company commanders, and just gave orders with a smile.

"promise!"

Liu Ziming played with guns a few times in the research institute, and saw the power of such muskets, but he couldn't get enough of it. Seeing that the people in the first group could shoot at this time, his heart was itchy. Very much, just as he was thinking about how to do it again, when he heard Li Xian call his name, he was immediately taken aback. He didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly answered the promise loudly, commanding several personal guards He brought up the ammunition box that had been prepared, distributed the cardboard bullets in the box to the company commanders, and then approached Li Xian with a slanderous face. Although he didn't speak, his eyes were full of longing. He looked at Li Xian disdainfully, with a pitiful look on his face.

"You boy, go get the gun!"

Seeing Liu Ziming's virtue, Li Xian was immediately annoyed and funny, but he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he laughed and cursed, and gave Liu Ziming a chance to test the gun.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

As soon as Liu Ziming heard it, he was overjoyed immediately, thanked him quickly, rushed to the side of the box, picked up a musket, happily ran to the sides of the company commanders, and pulled the box with ease. The trigger, stuffing the cardboard bullets, holding the gun to the chest, completed the shooting preparation in an instant, and the whole movement was as swift as flowing clouds and flowing water, which immediately aroused loud applause from the soldiers of the first regiment, and Liu Ziming He was so proud that his tail almost went up to the sky.

"shooting!"

Liu Ziming's movements were fast, and the movements of the company commanders were not slow. Although they may not be as quick as Liu Ziming, they are not much different. Without counting, the eleven shooters are already in position one by one, and the eleven rear-loaded single-shot The needle guns were already aiming at the square target in front of them. Seeing this, Li Xian immediately gave the firing order.

"Pong, pong..."

Following Li Xian's order, all the shooters immediately started the shooting performance, shooting, reloading, shooting again, reloading and shooting again, the gunpowder smoke filled the air, the bullets roared, and the several gunmen who were fifty steps away Targets made of planks were battered to pieces.

"Li He, how is this 'Mu Jun' doing, huh?"

Li Xian didn't care about the shooting performance of the crowd, but walked slowly to the side of Li He who was dumbfounded, and asked a thoughtful question.

"Your Highness is wise, the last general, the last general knows his mistake."

As soon as Li He heard it, he knew that there was something hidden in Li Xian's words, his face blushed involuntarily, he lowered his head, and admitted his mistake.

"It's good to know that you are wrong, and I will not punish you. Next time, if you dare to hide from Gu Hu, be careful of your skin!"

Li Xian had no intention of punishing Li He, but his words were a good one.

"Yes, the general will remember."

Li He accepted the promise in embarrassment, lowering his head even more, not daring to look up into Li Xian's eyes at all.

"Do you still remember the question that Gu asked at the beginning? Answer Gu, what is the significance of the first regiment?"

At this moment, the target had become fragments all over the ground, so the shooting naturally stopped. Li Xian didn't make things difficult for Li He any more. He strode to the front of the queue and shouted loudly.

"A strong army, an army within an army!"

"An army within an army, an army within an army!"

All the soldiers were intoxicated by the power of the muskets at this time, and whoever roared first in the phalanx immediately attracted everyone to follow suit, and the momentum of the whole army suddenly rose to the top. vertex.

"Good answer, the army of the army, you are now the first regiment, and you will be the first army in the future, the number one army in the world, you are destined to be a magical legend, I am looking forward to that day! "

Seeing the aura of the crowd, Li Xian smiled gratifiedly, raised his arms and shouted, and the crowd responded. Suddenly, the rudimentary shape of the military spirit had already taken shape, and it would grow into a towering tree one day.
