Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 148 Elite Soldiers
a day later.

In the city of Chang'an, the soldiers were preparing their horses and horses, half of the generals were mobilized, and the soldiers on the long street were hurrying, and the air seemed to be filled with a sense of stagnation and coercion.

An imperial decree resounded through the Suzaku Gate in the Tai Chi Hall.

"Qin ordered Li Jing to be the head coach of this martial arts performance, to support the overall situation of the martial arts performance. Cheng Yaojin, Li Daozong, the red and blue sides, the army will fight against each other."

Along the way, Li Xian heard a lot from the mouths of the generals.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has always been the master who said to fight and retreat.

False tricks such as performing martial arts should not have appeared in the Tang Dynasty at this time, but in recent times, the Tuyuhun bandits have frequently dispatched spies to join the ranks of merchants, buying and allying some court officials to obtain information about the Tang Dynasty.

Some extreme figures even plotted panic in the imperial city, just like the burning of the city mentioned by Cheng Chu silently.

Facing internal and external troubles, Li Shimin accepted Li Jing's proposal and simply staged a martial arts show to frighten him.

Following Eunuch Rong in front of him, Li Xian was in a complicated mood. If he was in Li Er's position, he would feel overwhelmed at this moment.

The place where the martial arts is performed is not far away, it is in a wilderness not far from the imperial city.

Passing the line of soldiers in armor and holding halberds, Li Xian climbed onto the ten-foot-high wooden platform.

In the court hall, several warriors from the past were dressed in bright armor and sitting in front of their breasts. In the cold armor, Li Shimin was wearing a dragon robe, sitting quietly under the propped up canopy, twirling his beard with his hands and looking at the open ground.

Eunuch Rong paused, leaned down and whispered something next to Li Shimin, Li Shimin turned his head slightly, and nodded to the unoccupied seat beside him.

"Li Xian, come here."

Slowly sitting beside him, Li Xian glanced over Li Shimin's cheek first, calm and serious without showing any anxiety.

Following Li Shimin's gaze, Li Xian looked at the vast army.

Under the sun, the soldiers in iron armor were holding swords like a forest, standing quietly in the open field, as if a vast ocean spread all over the mountains and plains.

The breeze raised the red tassels on the helmets of the generals on both sides, and a cold light shone on the obliquely dragging weapons, and the whole open field was filled with chills.

thump.

dong dong.

The passionate drums were played, and the generals of the two armies stood on the platform, raising the cold blade in their hands.

"Get up!"

At the moment when the hiss sounded at the same time, the flags in the hands of the messenger soldiers were flying, and all the soldiers on the field moved, and the sound of shouting and killing filled the sky.

"How about the horseshoe?"

Li Shimin's voice came from the side, and there was no slight ups and downs in the peaceful voice.

Li Xian looked away from the audience, looked at the approaching figure, and responded.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the current adjustment of the Ministry of Industry, judging from the current progress, it must be more than enough to complete before the Western Expedition."

After the words fell, the figure in front of him turned his head and smiled slightly.

"I heard that you created a method, which is ordinary, but if you roughly modify the process, it can be incomparably mysterious?"

"Even two days ago, the official kiln came to report that the production of colorful glazed bricks has more than doubled, which is really amazing."

Meeting that burning gaze, Li Xian smiled humbly.

"Don't dare to act, don't dare to act, the method that the humble minister has figured out randomly is nothing more than making a rough living for the poor. In essence, it is just a trick."

"Your Majesty also knows that my minister has never been a follower of rules, this time it was just a coincidence."

Hearing what Li Xian said, Li Shimin pursed his lips and smiled, and said no more.

The battle was fierce on the field, and the blue team represented by Cheng Yaojin was mainly a shield soldier, focusing on defense.

The shields are properly arranged in various arrays, and the defense is tight and airtight.

Cheng Yaojin, who seems to be a five-faced and three-faced brat, is flexible and flexible on this battlefield, and he can do it thousands of times.

And Li Daozong of the red team was not to be outdone, rolling in long formations, with spears and halberds like forests, and every attack would make the opponent's formation turbulent.

After watching for a moment, Li Shimin in front of him put his big hand on Li Xian's knee.

"Li Xian, you claim to be a vulgar scholar, but now in Chang'an City, how many people have never heard of your deeds, from the princes and ministers to the women, children and pawns?"

Li Shimin didn't seem to need Li Xian's answer, so he raised his arm and called for Eunuch Rong.

"Pour tea!"

The silver pot pulled out the silver thread and handed it to the two of them.

Li Shimin took the teacup, took a sip, and squinted slightly to watch the vigorous competition under the stage.

"Li Xian, in your opinion, who will win?"

The two armies faced each other, Li Xian was considered a half layman on this side, and shook his head slightly.

"The humble minister is just a reckless person, not to mention marching and setting up formations, even such a scene is something I have seen in my life."

"Which wins and who loses, I don't know."

Li Shimin put down the teacup slowly, and pointed at the two teams on the open ground with his fingers.

"You can't see it in the marching formation, but you have always seen it when you catch and fight."

"It's just a few people fighting fiercely in normal times. Tell me, what are their strengths and weaknesses? Or is there anything remarkable about them?"

A person who is proficient in many fields, logically speaking, his understanding must be beyond ordinary people. Li Shimin did not believe that Li Xian knew nothing about military camps.

Faced with the questioning, Li Xian calmed down and looked at the two teams fighting on the field again.

[Cheng Yaojin's defense seems to be as strong as a fortress, but in actual combat, such a defense consumes too much manpower.If you encounter a tricky scoundrel, you will suffer a bit. 】

[As for Li Daozong's advancement, it is quite satisfactory, even in this martial arts fake fight, he did not dare to be too aggressive, thus missing many good opportunities. 】

[The two formations have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you want to talk about how to resolve the stalemate that is equal at this time, you can cultivate an all-round team. 】

【It's not about the quantity, but about the essence! 】

After thinking for a moment, Li Xian arched his arms and said loudly.

"His Majesty."

"Accompanied by two generals who are veterans who have experienced many battles, how can a confrontation with tens of thousands of soldiers be compared with a scuffle in the wilderness in the countryside?"

"From my point of view, the two are no different, each has its own merits."

Hey!
You are a good boy, but you are duplicity again?

Li Shimin had already heard Li Xian's voice in his heart, so he would naturally be confused by Li Xian's few words.

I'm really interested in the elite army mentioned by Li Xian!

All-around team?
Can you break the deadlock of bow or keep?

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty followed the method of training soldiers before the reform, and I used these soldiers and horses to unify the Central Plains.

Can ride a horse and know how to shoot archery. Could it be that such a soldier can't be called an elite soldier?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin thought of something, brushed his beard, glanced at Li Xian from the corner of his eye, and thought.

"Could it be that Li Xian thinks that my Xuanjia Army is not an elite?"

"If not, how to carry out individual cultivation?"

"Furthermore, what kind of soldiers are the elite troops that Li Xian is talking about?"

Doubts linger in my heart, like a pile of dark clouds, becoming thicker and more confusing.

But this kid just went to the end, which inevitably makes people daydream.

Seeing that the off-court offense was weak, and the momentum was gradually retreating, it seemed that it was invisibly confirming what Li Xian was thinking.

Li Shimin squinted his eyes slightly and smiled slightly.

hello boy!
