Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 244 17 War Horses, Li Er's Heartbeat
"Li You!" Li Shimin yelled loudly, calling out Li You's name.

If this were the Li You from before, he would have been scared to death, but at this moment, Li You calmly stood up from the side and said, "Li You is here!"

Looking at the calm Li You, Li Shimin asked: "What do you think about your sister marrying back to Xi? After all, you are not only your sister's brother, but also your sister's doctor!"

"Your Majesty, Sizi can't marry back home. The disease Sizi suffers from is called asthma, and she needs to recuperate in a relatively clean place!"

"His Royal Highness King Qi, it's clean when we go back." Ye Misheng said hastily.

"Ah!" Li You smiled and waved his hands: "Look, this is the ambiguity between us, what I mean by cleanliness is not the cleanliness on the ground or at home, what I mean by cleanliness is in the air we breathe.

Sizi's illness is very serious because of a breathing problem. Every time she gets sick, she must breathe the freshest air. The temperature in Huixi fluctuates from time to time, which is very unstable, so it is really not suitable for her. Si son lives.

Otherwise, if you Huixi are really sincere, why don't you let Huixi's king and Sizi live together in Chang'an. That would be the best of both worlds! "

"How is this possible?" Ye Zhengchun on the side said hastily: "We, the king of Huixi, can only return to Xi...!"

"Oh!" Li You showed a regretful expression: "Then there is no other way, Sizi can only stay in Chang'an. If you really marry back to Xi, within three months, Sizi's life will be in danger."

"Fifth brother, are you exaggerating? I have seen Sizi alone. Now that Sizi can run and jump in Dunhuafang, why is his life in danger when he returns to Sanyue? Are you exaggerating on purpose? ah?"

Prince Li Chengqian looked slightly at Li You.

"His Royal Highness, I'm really wronged." Li You showed an aggrieved expression: "I'm just telling the truth what I know. There is no exaggeration. If His Royal Highness doesn't believe me, fifth brother, I have nothing to do. I still have to hand over everything. Let your Majesty decide."

"Chengqian, step back...!" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with some displeasure and said, "Your fifth younger brother is highly accomplished in medical skills, and your fifth younger brother is also upright and kind-hearted now.

Why should he exaggerate?

The so-called don't be afraid of [-], just in case, if your sister is really in danger after marrying Huixi, won't you feel heartbroken, won't you feel sorry for your dead mother? "

A series of angry reprimands made Li Chengqian back slightly, and then he heard Li Tai take a step forward: "Father, think twice, the Huihe envoy has shown sincerity this time, and is willing to give Datang [-] war horses for free.

Besides, the fifth brother is so skilled in medicine, if he goes to Huixi with him, then I think Sizi will be fine!"

"Your Majesty!" Ye Misheng knelt down again and shouted: "As long as my king can marry Princess Jinyang, he is willing to add another [-] horses. If His Royal Highness Qi is also willing to go to Huixi, then Huixi will give more horses every year." Datang [-] war horses."

"17 war horses...?" Above the main hall, many ministers showed excited expressions, especially generals. You must know that war horses play a crucial role in the military affairs of an empire at this time.

You can look at ancient and modern Chinese and foreign wars, whether it is Wei Qinghuo Qubing, the famous general who chased the Huns during the Han Dynasty, or the invincible Mamluks in Arabia, as long as the wars against Mobei or grasslands are fought, they all use cavalry without exception. .

Moreover, in ancient times when bows and arrows were often used, cavalry would have greatly reduced casualties compared to infantry because of their fast speed.

The impact force of the cavalry is very strong, and although the horse looks relatively docile, it is very alert.The horse's hearing is very good. If it senses a little danger, the horse will quickly become alert and enter a state of combat readiness.

Especially for trained war horses, as long as they receive instructions from their masters, the war horses will rush out at a fast speed, and when they reach a certain number, they will form a situation where thousands of horses are galloping. In this way, the war horse itself becomes an extremely powerful weapon, so In ancient wars, infantry were often trampled by horses, and even horses stepped into the mud.

Moreover, compared with infantry, cavalry is condescending and occupies a certain advantage.It's like when two of us are fighting now, the taller one has a better chance of winning because it's easier to shoot.

In addition, cavalry can move in a large range on the battlefield, which is especially suitable for reconnaissance operations.

In many film and television dramas, we can often see a plot where scouts ride fast horses, arrive first before anyone arrives, and rush into the tent camp all the way shouting "report—report——", which generally means There is an urgent military order.

In addition to being fast, a good war horse also has strong endurance. In the Three Kingdoms, the red rabbit horse that Guan Yu valued very much has a legend of traveling thousands of miles a day and eight hundred nights. Make great achievements in battle.

Cavalry combat requires certain tactics, and it is precisely because cavalry has very high mobility that it can make up for many combat shortcomings, especially heavy cavalry.

The heavy cavalry, that is, the people and horses, all have very good protective equipment, with strong impact and defense.

When attacking, a combination of infantry and cavalry is generally used. First, the infantry disrupts the opponent's formation, and then suddenly attacks at full speed to directly defeat the opponent.Here, the cavalry has a fixed formation. No matter what the situation is, the formation cannot be disordered. If someone falls in front, someone will be replaced immediately behind to ensure the defensive function of the team.

Even in modern times, the cavalry has played a key role.

In 1947, during the war of liberating Inner Mongolia, the cavalry of the 11th Division was connected to the mission to destroy a rebel army, but the rebel army was more than 400 miles away from the cavalry company. In order to quickly defeat the rebel army, the cavalry company of the 11th Division marched day and night, After 4 days, we finally got close to our destination.But at this time, it was exhausted, and the 11th Division decisively mobilized elites to form a good horse advance team, quickly attacked, raided the enemy, and finally won.

You can imagine what kind of temptation such a cavalry team is to Li Shimin. Hui Ke took out 17 horses this time, which means that Li Shimin can form a cavalry army of more than 20.

With these 20 cavalry troops, Li Shimin will have great confidence in his heart, so this is really a big temptation for Li Shimin. At this time, the court has been messed up, and many generals are looking forward to it. He looked at Li Shimin with his eyes.

Most people hope that Li Shimin can agree, because for these generals, Li You and Li Mingda have nothing to do with them, and the 17 horses are much more fragrant than these two people.

However, at this time, Li Shimin was very concerned about it. Li You might mean nothing to him, but Li Mingda was his darling. The 17 war horse and Li Mingda's darling, to be honest, Li Shimin at this time He was also a little hesitant, and he didn't know how to choose.
