Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 400 Soldier King

On June [-]th of the second year of Dashun, it was sunny.

The golden eagle gracefully streaked across the sky.

Above the surface, sparkling, lakes and swamps everywhere.

In the woods, birds and magpies gather and sing tactfully.

Wild ducks float leisurely on the water by the lake, pecking at fresh water plants from time to time, looking very cheerful.

The golden eagle flew down silently.

Feeling the threat, the wild duck fluttered its wings and quacked.

How could the golden eagle let go of the food in its mouth, and rushed down like lightning.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The thunderous drum sounded, and the golden eagle flew low and rushed straight ahead.

In the wilderness, there are neat "squares" everywhere.

Within the square, silver light flashed from time to time.

What's more, there are flags like forest flags, rustling in the wind.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The drum sounded for the second time.

A block started to move, and they moved forward slowly, holding up the sharp blade with a cold light.

They walked slowly at first, but gradually became faster, and the front row also lowered their weapons forward.

The queue was very neat, and there were only the whistling wind, rustling footsteps and the collision of nail leaves all around.

Meng Zhixiang's tongue was a little dry.

He held up a long banner and rode his horse to stand in the field.

A whole phalanx of infantry on the opposite side was pressing towards him with their spears and rifles.

The lance blade was shining with silver light, I don't know if it was an illusion, Meng Zhixiang even saw blood on it.

"Huh!" The first row collectively leveled the long spears and quickened their pace.

Meng Zhixiang had goose bumps all over his body.I drank too much water in the morning and wanted to pee.

"Dang Dang Dang!" The sound of the strike sounded.

As if a spell had been cast on it, the cube stopped right behind the flag line.

"Slap!" Beads of sweat fell from the tip of his nose and splashed into the dust under his feet.

A 17-year-old boy with a pale face.

Riding alone to advance, among other things, this courage alone is different from ordinary people. How many people in the world can do it without changing their faces?
There was silence in the field, save for the rustling of flags and flags.

Meng Zhixiang looked up at the high platform in the distance, and there was a signal to send an order.

He felt relieved, and rode his horse away from the stop line together with more than ten paoze.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The drum sounded for the third time.

"Clatter!" A row of swords and shields came forward, half kneeling on the ground.

The flag fell.

Several rows of sergeants in front also knelt down with guns.

"Woo!" The horn sounded.

There was silence all around.

This is the archery session, but there is an army formation on the opposite side, all of them are our own people, so of course we can't really shoot.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The drum sounded for the fourth time.

The half-kneeling sergeant got up quickly.

The entire phalanx ran in small steps at the same time, and everyone looked solemn, even ferocious.

"Kill!" The sergeants stopped in front of the second flag line, and the long spears stabbed forward fiercely.

"Xilulu!" The protons holding the long flags could hardly control their horses, and even a horse from a rich merchant galloped out.

Zhang Huaiding's complexion was not very good-looking, and the horse under his crotch was snorting uneasily, and he tried his best not to make a fool of himself.

Soon, orders came from the high platform, and they left the front of the formation one by one.

There was also a square formation on the opposite side. The two formations were equally divided, facing each other with murderous intent.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The drum sounded for the fifth time.

Two flags were displayed on the high platform, one green flag and one white flag.

The left wing began to draw teams, adjusting from a square formation to a horizontal formation, with drums beating in the formation.

The right wing kept the phalanx still, and responded by beating drums.

This is the "director's department" preset martial arts plan, and both armies have adjusted it.

Soon, the right wing began to change.

Their sergeants are well-trained, and under the command of the officers' passwords and small flags, they transformed into a sharp array of sharp arrows.

After the transformation, beat the drum to signal.

When the left wing was halfway across, it immediately changed its formation and became the Yanyue Formation.

After the transformation, the same drumming signal.

……

On the high platform, everyone watched intently.

The left wing is from the Tielin Army, 2000 people, and the right wing is from the Wuwei Army, 2000 people.

The two sides saw each other's moves, changed formations at the opportunity, and moved in an orderly manner, obviously well-trained.

"Is it possible for the rest of the army to achieve this level?" Shao Shude asked after scanning the crowd of generals and staff.

There were many dissatisfaction on the faces of the generals, but frightened by the great commander's power, no one refuted.

"The two armies of Tielin and Wuwei will be rewarded with a piece of money and two sheep, each of which will return to its own formation." Shao Shude ordered: "The next formation will be the Feng'an army and the Tiande army."

Confrontation drills continue.

After the confrontation between the Feng'an Army and the Tiande Army, it was the Jinglue Army and the Dingyuan Army, followed by the Tianzhu Army and the Tianxiong Army...

In fact, it's all good!
Especially the Second Army of Jinglue and Dingyuan, almost all of them are veterans, the change of formation is dazzling, busy but not chaotic, full of a strange sense of beauty.

Tielin and other troops actually included a few new recruits from the Kanto region.Although it has been trained for a year, it cannot be compared with veterans after all.

This is still an array, if it is compared to physical strength, spear skills, archery skills, experience, and psychological quality, it is even worse.

Marshal Shao praised Tielin Jun, but everyone didn't say anything, but they were dissatisfied in their hearts. They didn't perform much better than us!
"A certain person likes to fight in arrays." Shao Shude said while watching, "Arrays are the foundation of all armies, and they cannot be neglected for a day. Apart from being good at arrays, you also need to be proficient in skills, be willing to fight, and have high morale. To do this No one can beat us!"

The generals naturally answered yes.

"Erlang, how about watching the military exercises today?" Shao Shude asked, holding his son's hand.

"Mighty!" Shao Chengjie replied, this was probably the only adjective he could find in his poor vocabulary.

Everyone laughed.

"You got to know the soldiers today, do the soldiers recognize you?" Shao Shude asked again.

Shao Chengjie shook his head.

"Don't shake your head, talk." Shao Shude said with a serious face.

Seeing his always amiable father with a straight face, Shao Chengjie was a little flustered, and immediately nodded and said, "I don't know."

"Then follow Grandpa to get to know the soldiers. I don't care about other feudal towns, but Shao Jiaerlang, why don't you get close to the soldiers?" Shao Shude took his son's hand and slowly got off the high platform, surrounded by his own soldiers , walked towards the sergeants who were sitting on the ground.

"This is the Iron Forest Army." Shao Shude pointed to a large flag fluttering in the wind, and said, "Grandpa has been working hard for more than ten years. You don't have to trust anyone in the future, but you must trust the Iron Forest Army. Back to Being in the army is more comfortable than being at home. Come with me."

Seeing the commander in chief approaching, the sergeants stood up one after another.

"This is Li Sanlang. He has served under his father's tent since Tielin Capital. He was born in the Kelan Army. He was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old at that time, and his martial arts skills are very poor."

The sergeants burst into laughter when they heard the words, and Li Sanlang blushed.

"Now Li Sanlang is a lieutenant general. He has repeatedly made military exploits. He wears armor and shoots six to seven out of ten arrows. My son, you must know that there are all kinds of affairs in the world. As long as you study hard and practice hard, there will always be benefits."

Cheng Jie nodded with a vague understanding.

"This is You Erlang. In the past, the Zhaoyi Army was all old people." Shao Shude walked up to another person, patted his chest, and said, "A man like an iron tower. When attacking Xingfeng, he wore several scarves , still fighting fiercely, he is a first-class warrior in the world!"

You Erlang is a rough man, wearing armor all over his body, standing there is indeed very oppressive.

"This is Zhao Dalang, who took a dancing girl from his father."

Everyone laughed again, with envious expressions on their faces.

"In the battle to break the Li Changfu, Zhao Dalang was extremely brave and beheaded as many as six ranks, including two captains." Shao Shude continued to introduce: "My son must remember that warriors should treat each other with courtesy and not be humiliated. "

"In the town, no one can humiliate a warrior!"

After hearing this, the sergeants felt refreshed and shouted.

Some new recruits from the Kanto region and soldiers from Jingyuan and Tongzhou are also looking forward to it.This commander, the relationship with the sergeants is quite harmonious.

Shao Shude continued on with his son.

There were two people, one big and one small, all wearing bright red military uniforms.Wherever he went, the sergeants surrounded him, laughing loudly from time to time.

Shao Shude knew many junior officers and veterans of the Tielin Army, and some of them told their deeds in eloquent terms. Maybe the parties involved couldn't remember the details clearly, but Shao Shude was able to tell it all at once, obviously it took a lot of effort.

Everyone on the high platform looked from a distance, and the father and son were like kings of soldiers.Everywhere, people gathered around, and the officers watched with a smile on their faces, but they didn't care.

With the Tielin Army's [-]-step cavalry as the confidence, it can handle the affairs of the town with ease.

Wuwei, Feng'an, Dingyuan, Xinquan, Jinglue and other armies are also the Tielin Army, and the original officers and veterans were all from the Tielin Army.

With these people under control, no one can shake Shaw's position in Shuofang.

Go deep into the sergeants and win the hearts of the soldiers, only Taizong of the country can do it alone.

After leaving the Tielin Army, Shao Shude took his son to the front of the First Army.

"Khan!" The two thousand step riders under the direct control of the pro-military division bowed down one after another.

The subordinates of Yulin and Woyang palaces, plus two departments of Tuoba and Liugu, totaled 2000 people.Five hundred soldiers were lent to Wang Bian before, and now they are also returned to Jian.

The daily training of this group of sergeants is under the responsibility of the Pro-Military Division of the Duhufu, and the deployment of troops is under the jurisdiction of the Commanding Army Division.

"Erlang, this is my Shao family's private trilogy, not an army controlled by the shogunate." Shao Shude introduced softly: "However, it needs to be well recruited, and rewards will continue. The name of this army is 'Guardian's Army'. After a few days One day, my father is going to live in Yulin Palace and Woyang Palace for a while, and gather the heads of various ministries to get in touch with each other, and you will get to know each other well."

"Understood, Grandpa."

"The capital of the Shao family is all here." Shao Shude touched his son's head and said with a smile, "Are you surprised?"

Shao Chengjie looked at the guards and soldiers who were all kneeling on the ground. They were obviously all the "Qianghu" that the husband called, can they really be trusted?
"The guards just arrived last night, it was very hard work." Shao Shude said: "Why don't my son reward them with wine and meat?"

Shao Chengjie glanced at his father, saw him beckoning with encouraging eyes, hesitated for a while, and then said in a childish voice: "Reward the delicious food."

Shao Shude laughed loudly, and asked the translator to send an order: "I will give you Wuhe wine, five yuan each of milk and preserved fruit, and a plate of fruit."

The guards were overjoyed when they heard this, and thanked Shao Chengjie one after another.

Xiao'er was flattered, Shao Shude held his hand tightly, allowing him to accept this great gift calmly.

　After coding, it will be sent.I originally wanted to go to midnight, but there is a dinner party tonight, and I have to drink again, so it depends on my state.
