Great Tang princess

Chapter 717 Exercise

It stands to reason that the sunlight in the morning should be quite dazzling, but after being filtered by the lush jungle, there are only a few dense beams of light that can really shine on the ground.

It looks quite miraculous, it seems that there is a feeling of fairyland on earth, not too dazzling, but very soft.

Li Longji, who was resting under a tree, felt someone pat him on the shoulder, and immediately opened his eyes, and at the same time raised the crossbow in his hand.

"The platoon leader is a subordinate!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Longji took a closer look and found that it was his subordinate's monitor.

"Xin Kuo, how many times have I told you, just call me, don't shoot me!" Li Longji taught.

"Platoon leader, I just found the other person!" Xin Kuo replied, "Don't dare to make a sound, for fear of being exposed!"

Li Longji immediately sat up: "Where is it?"

"It's about [-] or [-] zhang away from me, and my brothers are watching!" Xin Kuo said in a low voice.

"go!"

Hearing that the enemy army was spotted, Li Longji immediately got up, followed Xin Kuo with a bow and crossbow and touched it quietly.

While the two touched it, they were still having a simple exchange in a low voice, asking how they found it and so on.

After a while, the two came to a small mound, and the rest of Li Longji's subordinates were already waiting here.

Seeing him coming, they didn't speak, but raised their hands to signal.

Li Longji lay on the ground and touched it quietly, poked his head out behind the small mound, and looked down.

I saw a dozen Blue Army soldiers communicating not far away, and there were other soldiers around who were on guard.

And not far from both of them, there are several groups of battlefield observers patrolling.

After observing for a while, Li Longji lowered his head again, hid under the small mound, turned around and lay down.

Xin Kuo asked in a low voice: "Platoon leader, we'll wait for about the same number of people on both sides, do you want to..."

Having said that, he raised his hand and made a gesture of taking it down.

"There are quite a few foreigners in the frontier army, and everyone is tall and big. In terms of physique, we are by no means an opponent." Li Longji shook his head.

In fact, he himself is sure, but looking at the helpers here, he feels that there is not much hope.

Shandong people in this era are far from being as tall as they will be in the future. Compared with other ethnic groups living on the grassland all year round, there is still a lot of gap.

Xin Kuo looked at the bow and crossbow in his hand, and sighed slightly: "It's a pity that this kind of paint arrow can't shoot too far, otherwise, with my accuracy, I will definitely be able to take it down!"

Considering that it is a drill after all, it is impossible to use real crossbow arrows. These arrows are all paint bags wrapped in gauze, and their range cannot be compared with real crossbow arrows.

"Nonsense, they are also my Da Zhou's soldiers and our comrades-in-arms, how can it be true?" Li Longji rolled his eyes, grabbed a bug that was crawling on the leaf next to him and stuffed it into his mouth.

Then he turned his head and asked, "Have you brought a grenade?"

"Yes!" Xin Kuo agreed, and took a grenade from his body.

This grenade is also specially used for exercises. The amount of charge is similar to that of firecrackers. It is also filled with paint, so it will not hurt people even if it explodes nearby.

Of course, the premise is that you don't want to hold it in your hand and blow it up.

Li Longji thought for a while: "Throw it away! They're still scattered, so I can't kill them all. Then I'll use the superiority of the numbers to catch a few alive and come back for interrogation and find their position!"

"okay!"

Xin Kuo agreed, took out the lighter on the spot and lit the fuse.

Now this lighter has been fully mass-produced, and the cost is not too high, so soldiers of special forces are equipped with this thing.

Xin Kuo did not throw it out immediately after igniting it, but held it in his hand and waited for a while. When he saw that the fuse was almost burned, he raised his hand and threw it out.

……

The soldiers on the northern border who were discussing below suddenly heard a "chi chi" sound, looked up and saw a grenade with a fuse ignited had already been thrown over.

"Grenade!" A soldier yelled, pushed his comrades around him, and at the same time flew straight out, pressing the thrown grenade under his body.

This scene happened so suddenly that no one around could react.

After the sound of "pop", the soldier lying on the ground slowly turned around and lay on the ground, with a splash of red paint on his chest.

He grinned and covered his chest: "Oh, this practice grenade still hurts so much!"

The soldiers on the side reacted quickly, raised their hands and said, "Throw them from over there! Go and catch them!"

The other soldiers also reacted, and immediately formed a formation, holding up their bows and crossbows and moving forward in a fan shape.

Seeing this scene, Li Longji, who was hiding behind the small mound, secretly thought it was a pity, and waved his hands helplessly: "Quick retreat!"

The soldier lying on the ground also got up subconsciously and prepared to continue chasing, but when he saw the piercing eyes of the battlefield observer next to him, he could only helplessly raise his hand and stroke the back of his head.

Then he reluctantly took out his soldier ID from his pocket and handed it over: "Take it!"

The battlefield observer on the opposite side took it with a smile: "Brother, you are already dead, don't talk!"

The other person next to him also laughed and said, "But brother, you are really brave. It is really a kind of luck to fight side by side with someone like you!"

"Hey, I didn't think about that much at the time..."

The soldier smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm going back to the rest area... Alas... I really didn't expect that I died in the first exercise. Isn't this embarrassing for our military region..."

The two battlefield observers didn't speak, but they both secretly said in their hearts: "It's not ashamed at all!"

……

On the other side, Li Longji and others were overtaken by the other party before they ran far.

After all, both sides are well-trained special forces, and the physical gap is not very big, and a battle will inevitably break out.

Several groups of battlefield observers surrounded the battle, recording the battle from all angles.

Li Longji drew out his axe, and rushed straight to the Blue Army soldier in front of him.

This ax is made of wood, without a sharpened edge, and it is still painted with paint, as long as it can rub the opponent to stick to the paint.

He was very skilled, and just as the soldier on the opposite side wanted to fight back, he slashed on his chest with an axe, leaving a red mark.

The soldier on the opposite side didn't react, and was about to fight back, when he was stopped by the battlefield observer: "You! Stop! You're already dead! Hand over your soldier ID and leave the battlefield!"

The soldier spat helplessly, and had no choice but to turn around and leave, while Li Longji rushed to the next person.

At the same time, a crossbow bolt hit Xin Kuo's abdomen, leaving a blue mark.

Xin Kuo looked down, then raised his head and glanced at the battlefield observer next to him, he had no choice but to put away his weapon and walk aside.

……

The battle between the special forces is actually very fast, especially when the number of the two sides is about the same, the Qingdao Military Region is generally not capable of fighting alone, and several people were lost very quickly.

A soldier yelled for Li Longji to retreat first.

He also knew that this was not the time to show loyalty, so he could only nod in agreement helplessly, then turned around and ran away first.

The soldiers of the blue army were about to pursue, but were stopped by the captain: "Leave him alone, first capture these few and interrogate them, and find out where their positions are."

This group of blue army soldiers had frictions with foreign races almost every now and then, and they had a lot of actual combat experience. After a while, these soldiers from the Qingdao Military Region were pushed to the ground and arrested.

After careful observation, they were all tied up and prepared to take them back for interrogation.

After tying up this group of soldiers, they pulled them up from the ground one by one. At the same time, several soldiers still did not forget to taunt: "Hey, brother, this skill is not very good."

The Qingdao soldier who was tied up said unhappily: "Hmph, if you have the guts to wait with me in the sea and try it? I promise to play you to death!"

After the last Qingdao soldier was pulled up, there was already a streak of red paint on his abdomen.

The Blue Army soldier on the side smiled and said, "Huh? You were killed by your own people?"

"Hey, I committed suicide!" the Qingdao soldier laughed, "How could it be possible that you took him back for interrogation?"

After seeing it, a few Qingdao soldiers next to them regretted secretly, why didn't they think of this move?

Several Blue Army soldiers were very happy: "That's it, I found their position, and it's a great achievement for me to wait!"

"Go away!"

……

After several battlefield observers saw them leave, they waved to the soldiers who "died in battle" and said, "Okay, I'll go back later."

At this moment, a figure appeared from the side again. Looking carefully, it was Li Longji who had just run away.

Seeing his "dead" comrades-in-arms, Li Longji showed a sinister smile: "How could this king run away so aggrieved? Then follow them back to find their position! I will avenge you!"

When Xin Kuo was about to speak after seeing it, a hand was pressed on his shoulder.

Looking back, it was the battlefield observer: "Shut up if you die!"

In this regard, Xin Kuo could only sigh helplessly, and raised his hands to salute Li Longji, telling him to be careful.

Then two battlefield observers followed Li Longji to observe his actions, and the other observers took the "killed" soldiers back to the rest area.

……

In the temporary headquarters, Li Yuechen was sitting in front of the sand table, drinking tea while listening to the report of the battle that just happened.

After listening to the report, she waved her hand lightly: "Well, facing the grenade, I flew to the rescue and sacrificed myself to protect my comrades! This soldier must be rewarded! Give him a second-class merit!"

After all, the exercise is an exercise. If this is a real war, it is not an exaggeration to give this kind of behavior special credit.

Others had no objection to such a commendation, and they all nodded to express that it was all right.

Wu Sansi turned his head and smiled at Geng Yunqiang: "This king won, sixty push-ups, should I honor it?"

"Don't worry, King Liang, hasn't King Linzi turned back to track down the enemy's position?" Geng Yun forced a smile, "If it succeeds this time, then King Liang will lose!"

Hearing his answer, Wu Sansi pouted and didn't say anything further.

But I couldn't help but think in my heart, now that the Li family is serving in the army, what should my Wu family do in the future?

He knew very well in his heart that he might not be regarded as King Liang, but that was due to the fact that the emperor was now his aunt.

But the prince's surname is Li. If the throne is handed over normally, the world will still be ruled by the Li family in the future, and the prince of his own Wu family will not be able to keep it.

Coupled with the fact that the Li family is now in the army, it is conceivable that in the future when Li Xian becomes emperor, the country will be extremely stable, and it is feared that there will be no day for the martial arts family to rise to the top.

So if you want to keep the prince of the Wu family, the only way is to find a way to let your aunt pass the throne to your nephew.

It's easy to say, but...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Li Yuechen who was sitting on a chair drinking tea next to him, and finally sighed helplessly.

With this princess around, if the Wu family wanted to get their hands on the throne, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream!

You know, her title is "Princess Taiping of Zhenguo", she is a terrifying existence that can guard a country by one person.

Standing in front of the formation can frighten many enemy soldiers, and it is not something someone like him can shake.

Therefore, if the Wu family wanted to ascend to the throne, unless Princess Taiping helped, there was no hope at all.

……

The day passed quickly, and it was already night in a blink of an eye.

All day today, apart from a conflict between the scout troops of the two sides, there was no other progress.

It can't be said that there is no, at least both sides have figured out the general terrain and grasped the enemy's position.

The Blue Army was interrogated because they captured people from the Qingdao Military Region.

The method of interrogation was also very simple, that is, two sheep were brought in and licked the soles of the soldiers' feet.

Several soldiers were out of breath laughing, and had no choice but to confess, and finally they did not forget to say harshly: "If it is a real war, we would definitely rather die than follow!"

As for the Qingdao Military Region...

In the temporary headquarters, Li Shu was sitting on a chair, drinking tea while listening to Li Longji's report.

"I followed them all the way and found their position, right here!"

Pointing at the map, he said, "This is considered a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. During the exercise, artillery is not allowed to be used. We can only let hot air balloons go up into the sky, and then throw grenades to bomb them from high altitude..."

Li Shu put down the teacup: "The problem is that the hot air balloon is together, isn't my waiting position also exposed?"

"Those bastards have definitely confessed, and I'm afraid they have been exposed by now!" Li Longji waved his hand, "But according to my understanding of Liu Huang, he will probably launch an attack tomorrow morning, so I can't wait tonight direct……"

"Do you still know Liu Huang?" Li Shu couldn't help being curious.

Li Longji sneered: "Back then, this person was a well-known dandy in the wealthy circle. It is not easy to inquire about him?"

There is nothing wrong with what you said, Liu Huang was a famous street sneaker back then, and everyone in the dandy circle knew about it.

"Never mind, but no matter what, once the hot air balloon takes off, it's tantamount to a full-scale war. Our goal is to minimize our own battle damage..." Li Shu shook her head, rejecting the method of bombing with hot air balloons.

Li Longji had an expression that he knew you would not agree to: "Since that's the case, why don't you listen to the second plan!"

He raised his finger and pointed at the map: "Their daily water is all in this river. If they can poison this river upstream...Of course there is no need for real poison, just put some laxatives..."
