Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 220 Use me in the first battle (please subscribe)

"Clang, clang. clang.!"

"The bronze bell is ringing. It's not time to eat and get off work. Why is the bronze bell ringing?"

The one who spoke was Hou Qing. Today was the day when he was guarding the gate of Dunhuafang. At this time, the sound of the bronze bell resounded throughout Dunhuafang. At first Hou Qing and his comrades were still puzzled.

At this time, it is not the sound of eating and going to work, how can the copper bell ring.

But when the bronze bell rang thirteen times, Hou Qing shouted in horror: "The bronze bell rang thirteen times. This is an emergency assembly. Everyone must go to the camp to assemble. This order is extremely urgent. Give up everything and assemble quickly."

At the same time, after every corner of Dunhuafang, all the guards began to run frantically to their own camp. The thirteenth sound of the bronze bell was the order for emergency assembly. This was the first emergency assembly, and no one dared to be careless. .

In less than a stick of incense, the [-] guards in Dunhuafang who were scattered all over the place were all assembled. They used the fastest way to reach their own camps, and then quickly put on their equipment. .

The army of the Tang Dynasty was first equipped with cavalry equipment. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties before the Tang Dynasty, with the improvement of the stirrups and high bridge saddles, the heavy armored cavalry has been greatly developed, but because the heavy armored cavalry sacrificed the mobility that the cavalry relied on for survival However, it is not very ideal in actual combat, so in the Tang army, horse armor and heavy cavalry were not valued.

In terms of weapons, the halberd inherited from ancient times and undergoing major improvements did not escape the fate of being eliminated, and the lance (a kind of spear with a wider head) with a length of one foot and eight feet became the main equipment of cavalry (Northern and Southern Dynasties).But after Tang Dynasty, the standard long spear replaced the lance.

According to "Tang Liu Dian", there were four types of guns at that time: lacquer guns, wooden guns, white guns and simple head guns. Each soldier (including infantry and cavalry) was equipped with one. Long guns were widely used. In addition to fighting in wartime, It can be used to support tents when camping, to resist horses when defending, and to tie rafts when crossing rivers.

As another kind of soldier's necessary weapon knife, there are two main types of knife: one is the horizontal knife (that is, saber). Double attached ear wearing method.

The other is Mo Dao, also known as Pa Dao. It is a long-handled, 2-edged sword with a length of 1 zhang. It is used by infantry. He was ridiculed by Tang Jun when he put "Modao Wuqian behind the formation".

The main long-range weapons equipped by the Tang army are bows and arrows, and the equipment rate reaches 100%. Like sabers and guns, each person has one.At that time, the style of Chinese military bows had already been fixed, all of which were composite reflex bows, and the shooting range varied with different bow strengths.

The Tang army, like the previous generation, emphasized strong bows and crossbows, and they can shoot when they are fully opened. "The Classic of Archeology: General Law of Horse Shooting" written by Wang Ju of the Tang Dynasty wrote, "The momentum is like chasing the wind, the eyes are like flowing electricity, and the bow is fully opened. Release the arrows tightly", it can be seen that what Tang Shi required for archers was range and firepower density, but not high requirements for accuracy.

I speculate that the archers were used to line up in multiple rows for large-scale volleys. This is very different from what the Ming army said, "Don't worry about soft bows, and obey them from far away."

The bow strength of the bows used at that time was about 75 kilograms today, and it was difficult for ordinary people to draw this kind of bow.

The bow is equipped with 3 bowstrings, 30 arrows and a quiver (called Hulu). Generally, there are 3 kinds of arrows, one is a shooting arrow;

Tang Jun's protective equipment mainly includes armor and cowhide plaques (leather shields).

There are two kinds of Tang Jun shields, square and round.Square shields come in various styles such as hand, peng, swallowtail, and push, and are mainly used by infantry.Round shields, also known as group cards.Because of its small size and flexibility, it is mostly used by cavalry, but it is also used by infantry.The common style of the square shield is that the bottom edge is flush, the upper end is composed of double arcs to form a gourd shape, and the middle ridge is raised. Later, two sharp hooks are installed on the iron shield, and it becomes a new type of weapon—— Hook inlaid, can attack and defend.

Li You's guards are not even counted as soldiers, so their equipment is a little weaker than that of Tang Dynasty soldiers. Their equipment is cloth armor, round shield, horizontal knife, bow and arrow, 3 bowstrings and 30 arrows, and one busy.

Among them, there are only 100 people with bows and arrows. This is what Li You exchanged for a hundred telescopes. Otherwise, Li You would not be able to have a bow and arrow team. This is a big taboo in Chang'an.

However, seeing that Li You offered a hundred telescopes, Li Shimin specially sent a hundred pairs of bows and arrows, which also prevented Li You from using his divine arm crossbow secretly.

Of course, the god arm crossbow can't be shown yet, Li You will continue to hide it, just like this time the emergency assembly, all the archers still carry the bows and arrows of the Tang Dynasty.

These bows and arrows in the Tang army are more than enough to deal with the Shangshui Gang.

"Hello, brothers!"

Li You was dressed in armor, and the opening was different, but when Li You finished speaking, the audience all bowed and saluted unanimously: "My lord is mighty, use me in the first battle, use me to win...!"

"Okay, listen to what you say. The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days is to use them for a while. There are bad guys in Chang'an. Who are these bad guys? They are those gangsters who don't do production and just want to live by extorting other people's hard-earned money. .

Do you think such a person is a cancer in Chang'an? "

"Yes yes yes yes!" 500 people shouted in unison in response to Li You.

Li You nodded slightly: "That's right. That's a group of cancerous tumors, and the cancerous tumors should be eradicated. Just now, an envoy from the Shangshui gang came over and wanted to give a certain ten thousand pennies to a certain person to hand over Tie Yu's father and daughter who were beaten by them this morning.

Although XX no longer has the throne, he is a commoner like everyone else.

But the surname is still Li, and the father of the Tang Dynasty is still the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The people in this world are my father's subjects, that is, the brothers and sisters of the certain. If you want to touch my brothers and sisters today, the certain will not, so the result of the certain the other side.

This is the biggest insult to XX. Now, XX wants to take you to the Shangshui Gang, and XX wants to make this Chang'an cancer be removed today. Brothers, how dare you go to this battle with XX. "

"Willing to die for the son, use me in the first battle, use me to win...!"

Then Xue Rengui shouted loudly: "Array, go out and target the Shangshui Gang, you won't return!"

"Hoo hoo! Hoo hoo!!" With three shouts, the entire team of 500 people set off, and what surprised Cui Jue was that the formation and pace of the 500-member guard were surprisingly consistent with the whole team's starting pace .

It was as if not 500 people were acting at all, but only one person was acting at this time. At this time, Cui Jue also understood what Li You meant for him to watch. He wanted to tell himself how different his guards were, and let him The Cui family has more confidence in him.

"What did you say. Li You sent troops to attack the Shang Shui Gang?"

At the same time, just after the five hundred guards left Dunhuafang, Baiqi Li Junxian also got the news in Ganlu Palace.

　Thanks to 51 stones and Yue Yayu for the hundred rewards, thank you, it’s hard to set a balance of [-], but I must be optimistic, I wish all brothers good health, this is the most important thing!
