Great Tang princess

Chapter 716 Exercise

On the fifth day of September, after Li Yuechen got up early and finished practicing, he began to patrol in the temporary barracks.

The Changbai Mountains in this era are still very different from the future. They are lush and endless, just like a primitive jungle.

Even if you walk in the camp, you can hear the roar of some animals from time to time.

These days, the mainland is full of South China tigers, and in this kind of place, maybe even a large Siberian tiger can be seen.

The army strictly abides by Li Yuechen's orders, as long as these beasts don't take the initiative to attack people, they will ignore them, the main issue is the protection of the environment.

So standing beside the Juma in the camp, I could occasionally see a few pairs of shining eyes flashing in the jungle.

But as the saying goes, a tiger is no match for a pack of wolves. Faced with so many humans, such a large beast dare not attack easily.

Although beasts do not have the IQ of humans, it is the instinct of creatures to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Unless they are extremely hungry, they dare not come easily.

Just as he was thinking of taking a closer look at the wild animals of this era, he suddenly heard a few whistles ringing in the camp.

This kind of whistle was also made after Li Yuechen came to this era. In addition to being used by football referees, it is also generally used as an air defense alarm in the army.

It is precisely because other countries in this era do not have the ability to make airships, so this method is chosen. After all, it is not an alarm, but a reminder that something is coming from the sky.

Li Yuechen turned around and looked up.

I happened to see two huge airships flying slowly in the sky, and the hideous shark painting made it look like they were swimming in the sky.

And on both sides of one of the airships were written the words "Great Zhou Empire-Northern Border Military Region", which meant that Liu Huang had brought the troops over.

The other one also bears the name of the Great Zhou Empire, but behind it is the Yizhou Military Region.Because there are too many people to be transported and one airship is not enough, the airship from Yizhou was specially transferred this time.

This time, the people from the Qingdao Military Region came by boat, while the people from the northeast side used airships considering that the land route had not yet been built.

……

The airship quickly landed firmly on the ground.

After the hatch was opened, a large group of soldiers came out of it in line, and quickly rearranged their formation on the square.

Liu Huang and the high-ranking military officers and staff officers on the northern border slowly walked out of it, and immediately ran all the way to Li Yuechen and raised their hands in salute: "I have seen Your Highness!"

"Excuse me, everyone!" Li Yuechen raised his hand, "Are you tired after flying all the way?"

"Your Highness is joking, how can I be tired because of the daily training of our lieutenant officers and soldiers?" Liu Huang replied with a smile.

Today's Liu Huang has changed too much. He is almost forty and inevitably has some shallow wrinkles on his face.But his eyes were still piercing.

To be honest, in this era, the state of a person his age is already quite good, at least ten years younger than his peers.

The main reason is that people in the army don't have long beards, and their hair is back. If they want to, they can wear a very short ponytail. Coupled with their well-trained figures, they don't look old at all.

But even so, standing in front of Li Yuechen, he still looked much older than her.

This is also something that can't be helped, mainly because Li Yuechen looks too young, over thirty years old, no wrinkles can be seen on his face, and his skin is still full of elasticity.

It looks like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a sense of vigor and vitality all over her body, and her temperament is very youthful.

It's just that if you look closely at those eyes, you can occasionally see traces of time in that bright expression.

"Are you confident about this exercise?" Li Yuechen asked.

Liu Huang's expression was not sure: "This... Speaking of it, the two nobles and I are classmates. But after all, the special session is different. The soldiers of my frontier army have frictions with foreign races from abroad every now and then. In one-on-one situations , certainly not bad. But..."

"Don't worry, although the two of them are my nieces, they will never be partial during military exercises!" Li Yuechen assured him.

"This subordinate is not worried about this matter..." Liu Huang smiled, "But don't worry, Your Highness, this exercise, this subordinate will definitely do its best!"

Li Yuechen smiled slightly and said, "Okay, it seems that I still have some confidence."

Afterwards, the two left and chatted. While reminiscing about the old days, Li Yuechen would also ask about things on the northern border.

Liu Huang is still not officially married today, and is single, except for two concubines, he does not have any other women.

Talking to this point, Li Yuechen couldn't help but think, this guy can be regarded as a once-in-a-lifetime mistake...

But it doesn't matter, anyway, there are two sons, and it can be regarded as a branch for his old Liu family. At least Master Quanxia knows, so he can be relieved.

……

That afternoon, all the soldiers from the Qingdao Military Region also came over.

Considering that it is a multi-arms cooperative combat exercise, in addition to conventional infantry units, special scouts including hot air balloon air assault companies and the Marine Corps participated.

In the afternoon, inside the Changbai Mountain Temporary Military Region, Li Longji ran over excitedly: "Auntie, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, it's very good!"

Li Yuechen smiled: "What? You want to participate in this exercise?"

"That's right!" Li Longji looked proud, "My aunt doesn't know something, but now I'm a pioneer in Jiaolong! I'm basically at the top of every business!"

Li Yuechen had heard about this matter, and she had mentioned it in her letters to Li Shu on weekdays.

Li Longji's physical fitness is really good, and now he can basically master all kinds of subjects in the army. It can be said that if he trains well, he will be a generation of soldier kings!
Seeing such a report, Li Yuechen couldn't help feeling that he was worthy of being a famous long-lived emperor in history, and his physical fitness was really extraordinary.

Li Longji is now the platoon leader, and Li Shu feels that with his current ability, it is no problem to directly become the company commander.

It's just that Li Yuechen still thinks that he should exercise more. After all, this guy is famous in history as a stupid king, so he still needs to work harder on ideological education.

……

After the soldiers from both sides arrived, after a few days of rest, the exercise officially started on the eighth day of September.

And the night before the exercise started, Li Yuechen announced to Liu Huang and Li Shu the location of the two sides' positions.

In the office, she handed the two pieces of paper in her hand to the two of them respectively and said, "This is the position of the two of you, and the exercise rules are also very simple. Within two days, while defending your own position, seize the enemy's position." Military flag! You can see the use of various tactics and tactics for yourself, and you can try all the things you have learned on weekdays. There are still five hours before sunrise, and you can go back and prepare! After sunrise, the exercise will officially begin!"

The two looked at each other, then raised their hands in salute: "Yes!"

Then he hurried back to the headquarters where his military region was located.

Although Li Yuechen said that the drill would not officially start until after sunrise, but that was only the time to start the attack, and in real wars, the confrontation often started before the hands were started.

Both of them understood this truth, so after returning to the headquarters, they handed the guns in their hands to the officers and staff officers under their hands, and immediately issued a task: "Within two days, hold our own positions, and at the same time find out the enemy's positions and seize the enemy's positions." Fang Junqi! Start researching immediately!"

The officers and staff officers of both sides agreed, and immediately sat down to discuss.

At the same time, the military regions of both sides have dispatched scouts to begin to survey the surrounding terrain.

Because this position is temporarily arranged, the first thing to do is to find out all the terrain around your position, so that you can make a defensive plan.

Of course, if the opponent's position is discovered during the investigation, that would be great, and the attack can begin immediately after sunrise.

Li Yuechen naturally thought of this, so he didn't put the two sides' positions too close. In short, they would definitely not be able to find out the other side's position tonight.

Because in this case, no one dared to release the hot air balloon first, because the fire light was too obvious in the dark night, and the opponent would immediately find out where the position was.

In the temporary headquarters, Li Yuechen was sitting on a rocking chair with a smile on his lips.

After a while, Geng Yunqiang walked in: "Your Highness."

"How?" Li Yuechen asked softly.

"His Royal Highness knows things like a god. Both sides have already started to act, and sent scouts to survey the terrain early." Geng Yunqiang replied.

Li Yuechen nodded slightly: "It seems that I have memorized everything taught in the military academy over the years...Okay, let's go to rest first. Specifically, we will talk about it after sunrise."

"Yes, my subordinates retire!"

After Geng Yunqiang left, Xiaodong came over to help Li Yuechen change clothes and rest.

……

On the other side, scouts from both sides entered the jungle in camouflage uniforms with mosquito-resistant green paint on their faces.

After coming out of the position, they all froze for a moment and saw the crowd walking in the jungle.

These people were wearing white military uniforms that were extremely conspicuous in the dark night, walking in groups of two in the jungle.

One person held an oil lamp in his hand, and the other held a notebook and pencil. Seeing these scouts coming out, they began to record something in the notebook without saying a word.

The soldiers who saw this scene were taken aback for a moment, unexpectedly the battlefield observers had already come out now!

Originally thought that they could only be seen after sunrise, but now it seems that the actions on his side have already been expected by the Ministry of War.

But then he realized it immediately, isn't this all a routine operation.

So he ignored them and started to do his own thing.

These battlefield observers walked in the jungle, observed the actions of the soldiers, and recorded something in their notebooks from time to time. These records must be handed in at any time, as an important assessment reference standard for judging soldiers in missions.

……

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning crossed the night and gradually splashed on the earth, the entire Changbai Mountains seemed to wake up.

In the temporary headquarters of the military department, Li Yuechen, who was practicing kung fu, glanced at Xia Guang who was stroking his cheeks, slowly put away his posture, and returned to his room. After simply wiping his body with a wet towel, he quickly washed up and put on a suit of clothes. In a black military uniform, with his hair tied up, he came to the headquarters.

When she came over, many people had already gathered here, and a large number of battlefield observers were coming in and out, handing in the records in their hands.

Seeing her coming in, Geng Yunqiang and others who were already here stood up and saluted.

Li Yuechen waved his hand, motioning to avoid courtesy: "How's the situation?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the two sides have not officially met, but it is expected that the scouts from both sides will meet together around noon."

While answering, Doulu Yuanzhong sorted out the red and blue chess pieces on the sand table, displaying the current positions of both sides.

Looking down at the feedback situation on the sand table at this time, Li Yuechen put his arms around his chest and thought carefully: "No one noticed the northwest direction?"

"Return to Your Highness, the scouts from both sides haven't touched that side yet. But..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yuechen raised his hand to stop him: "This is their war, just let them judge and decide for themselves! Wait, we must not interfere!"

"Yes!"

At this time, Wang Wuqiong came over and reminded: "Your Highness, it hasn't officially started yet, why don't you go and have some breakfast."

"Take it here, I'll use it here." Li Yuechen waved his hand, and then sat down on the chair.

……

To be honest, without the blessing of high-tech equipment, sitting here and waiting for the result is actually a very boring thing.

Fortunately, there are also a group of staff here who are watching the movement on the sand table and analyzing the situation.

Wu Sansi, the servant of the Ministry of War, also pretended to be looking at the sand table at this time. He had also been trained in the military academy for a period of time, so he could understand the situation.

It's just that the analysis is not very good, after all, his IQ is not very good, and he can't do the work of a staff officer.

But I am not good enough to be seen by others, so I pretend to stare at the sand table, but in fact my thoughts have already flown to the sky.

Seeing his preoccupied appearance, Li Yuechen, who felt a little bored, suddenly wanted to have some fun, so he winked at Geng Yunqiang who was beside him.

Geng Yunqiang, who had followed Li Yuechen for many years, immediately understood what he meant, so he walked over and said, "When does King Liang think the first battle will break out?"

"Huh?" Before Wu Sansi could react, he shook his head quickly: "Well, I think... the two sides are already so close at this time, if we continue to investigate, it must be at noon..."

"Then King Liang thinks who will win this first battle?"

Wu San thought for a while, feeling that he couldn't get a specific answer, so he said casually: "In my opinion, the soldiers in the northern border military region have better physical fitness, so they probably won..."

Geng Yunqiang raised three fingers: "Thirty push-ups, I bet the Qingdao Military Region will win, will King Liang dare to take it?"

Wu Sansi didn't want to take this kind of gamble at first, after all, I am a majestic king of Liang, you are a general, and you still want to bet with me?But when he heard the second half of his sentence, he felt that he was underestimated.

Wu Sansi hated being underestimated the most, so he immediately replied: "My king and you thirty!"
