Chapter 942 All nations come to court to show off our country’s prestige!
To the southeast of the hilltop where Li Sanniang and the others were currently located, on a large piece of flat land, there were tens of thousands of soldiers in armor standing in dense formation.
The Guards who were originally stationed in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing estimated that more than 10,000 people would come. Later, Li Dalang and his group of soldiers who came back from Champa in the south would have nearly 10,000 people. Before, they attacked the Eastern Turks from the north. After returning victoriously, the Shijia army actually left some people behind, staying at the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.
Not to mention, for today's military exercise, some of the forbidden troops were transferred from various places to this camp.
So, here, today, there is this vast and dense scene with at least 30,000 soldiers. I ask, who can see it and not be afraid?
And don't forget, every soldier here is a veteran who has seen blood!
If this doesn't scare you, how can you not be scared when you see a long row of artillery carts displayed in front of the army?
Emperor Wu is riding on a horse in military uniform, and behind her is King Xiang, who is also riding on a horse in military uniform. Behind King Xiang are Princess Qingyang and Li Xian (the eldest son of King Xiang, who participated in wrestling in the Taiji Hall in the previous article). With Li Sanlang (Li Longji).
The one who sits on the same throne as the Prime Minister is Princess Taiping, and behind her is the female official Shangguan Wan'er accompanying her.
As for the prime ministers, they could ride horses and stand behind Emperor Wu, but the other ministers who could wear red official robes could only stand aside.
As for the position that was some distance away from Emperor Wu but could not delay speaking, only the Great Khan of East Turkestan could ride a horse, while all the other vassals and small countrymen were standing on their feet.
This has to be a competition. For example, the Zhenlabo tribe where Akilaya is located can't even compete for the position to stand in front of them. But at least they can come here to watch the ceremony, which can be regarded as better than those who are even You can't even watch the ceremony. The tribes of small countries want a lot.
"Let's get started."
Emperor Wu didn't waste any words. He opened the prelude to today's military exercise with just one sentence.
The soldiers who obeyed the instructions raised their flags to the soldiers on the high platform, and the sound of "dong dong dong" drums rose with the wind.
The horses were encouraged to move, and the ten soldiers who had been waiting in front of the formation on tall horses were ordered to control the horses and fly away with the wind. The triangular beast flags tied behind them also unfolded as they galloped.
The horses roared, and the generals in front of each military formation also commanded the soldiers in front of them to change their formations. Just now, there was an orderly formation of ten thousand soldiers. Now they are moving. Within a few breaths, you can clearly feel the earthquake. feel.
Not to mention that under this touch, you can still hear the soldiers' uniform movements in response to each other, and there are even horses singing and eagles crying in your ears, and the timid person can no longer stand at this moment.
Yes, there are several birds of prey with hard and sharp beaks hovering in the sky. Air superiority is the cornerstone of victory in a war.
These eagle cries were what surprised the East Turks and others the most. You must know that as a tribe that grew up on horseback on the grassland, the ability to tame eagles should be their specialty.
Although the Eastern Turks had bowed their heads to the Tang Dynasty after their defeat, the foreigners' desire to kill their masters never died.
Facing the tens of thousands of strong soldiers of the Tang Army, they were of course afraid, but not that afraid. After all, as nomadic people, what they are best at is escaping.
But if the Tang army also learned to use eagles to track, the East Turks, who had lost their air supremacy, had only two options - surrender or die.
Before the Great Khan of the East Turks could think too much, when he came to his senses, they were still standing in a row of military formations, but now they had changed their formations and they were surrounded!
Yes, they are surrounded!
The man-bear warrior of the Eastern Turks had already pulled out the scimitar from his waist. The sword was unsheathed, the horse was lowing, and the sword was at war.
Even though he knew in his heart that Emperor Wu would never take advantage of this opportunity to kill everyone, the Great Khan of East Turkestan was still sweating visibly on his forehead.
A cold wind blew over, cooling down the brain of the Great Khan of East Turkestan.
Emperor Wu tilted his head and looked with interest at the Great Khan of East Turkestan who was stiffly trying to smile at her, and she burst out laughing.
In such a scene, with such sudden laughter, who dares to say anything?
After Emperor Wu stared at the Great Khan of Eastern Turks for another look, he seemed to be bored. She stopped looking at him and turned to the soldiers who were unwilling to defend her.
Emperor Wu raised his right hand to signal, and the soldiers who had been surrounding everyone quickly retreated after receiving the order, and they started to move again.
Watching the soldiers surrounding them withdraw, the Great Khan of Eastern Turks only dared to raise his hand to wipe the sweat off his face.
He calmed down for a while, then froze and quickly got off the horse. At this moment, only Emperor Wu's family and a few prime ministers were superior to others on the horse.
Suddenly, the "Wu Ga" horn sounded, and under the long, non-stop horn sound, the artillerymen pushed the huge artillery carriage to move.
In the midst of the billowing dust, the whole row of about twenty artillery carts all moved their positions. After changing their positions, the direction the muzzles pointed was the hilltop where Li Sanniang and the others were.
Although she had some premonitions, Li Sanniang was still a little surprised when she saw the muzzle of the cannon directed towards her.
However, she probably felt more at ease with her boots landing.
Li Sanniang had already learned about Emperor Wu's arrangements from Mr. Ke, and she could naturally guess Emperor Wu's intention of letting strangers gather to watch the ceremony.
It's nothing more than asking foreigners to be honest. If they want to serve the country, then do it. If they don't want to serve the country, then just live their lives in compliance with the law.
Don't be too petty. Just try to commit suicide. What you're afraid of is that other strangers will be implicated.
"I'll go!"
After Xing Yu shouted like this, he really didn't know what else to say. However, the reaction of the Ding brothers was stronger: "She is shocking us!
This means that killing us is a piece of cake! ”
Ding Anbai's words and deeds were even more intense: "Oh shit! I can't stay in Chang'an anymore. I can't stay in Chang'an anymore."
Ding Anbai turned around and grabbed Ding Mingxuan's shoulders: "We have to run, to the Western Regions and overseas. We can't be here. We can't be here anyway!"
A dull sound of "boom" reached my ears. Even on the top of the mountain, I knew it was so far away that the artillery could not hit here, but the obvious shock still made people shut up.
Li Sanniang and the others, who were so far away, did not dare to say anything. The ministers of the vassal state who were watching the artillery fire at the scene were even more shocked.
The Great Khan of East Turkestan was frightened when he saw the devastation caused by the shell explosion.
The sound of "thud" was the sound of the commander of the Imperial Guards drawing his sword and slapping his breastplate. He was seen slapping his breastplate with his sword while shouting: "Anyone who dares to call himself a soldier will be killed! Won to win! Long live the saint! Long live! ”
He roared and shouted again.
Anyone who dares to call himself a soldier will be killed!
Won victory!
Long live the saint!
If there is one, there are two. When tens of thousands of soldiers in the audience raised their swords and shouted together, the momentum was so huge that it could change the day!
Anyone who dares to call himself a soldier will be killed!
Won victory!
Long live the saint!
Who is not afraid of this situation? Who is not afraid?
This is the Tang army. At this time, when the roar of the strongest army on the earth resounds throughout the world, the enemy is terrified, so as a Tang Dynasty person, you must be so happy that you don’t know what to do.
