Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 116 Soldier in the school field, battle power [two in one]

Near noon, the white clouds are flowing and the sky is as blue as washing.

Liu Qing came out from the hall, her pretty face was slightly rosy.

She and Huo Qubing met at the main entrance of Changding Hall.

Liu Qing seemed calm, but in fact, some brides were somewhat shy when they saw their fiancé-in-law.

On the contrary, Huo Qubing was not at all abnormal compared to usual.

Men and women want to get married when they reach the age, everyone is like this, he doesn't feel any embarrassment, his expression is calm.

Liu Qing didn't have his face, under his scorching gaze, he subconsciously looked away.

"Your Majesty wants to watch the drill of the Guards. He asked me to practice the army formation in the outskirts of the city tomorrow, and let the officials go with me. I'll come over and ask, the princess wants to go and see it together."

Ordinary people's dating is romantic, Huo Qubing invites people to see Jin Ge Iron Horse.

According to the original plan, in about half a month, they will attack the Huns.

The emperor wanted to watch the military drill in person at this time, and he also had the intention of showing off his strength.

Another reason is that the Chang'an Guard Army system, especially the Northern Army, has repeatedly experienced problems.

Since the founding of the country by Gaozu, there have been foreign relatives who have placed people in it.

The Emperor Liu Che appointed Huo Qubing to take the post of Lang Zhongling, who was in charge of the Forbidden Army, the Northern Army and the Southern Army. He originally intended to take this opportunity to eliminate internal troubles in the Guard Army.

Huo Qubing was familiar with the position of Lang Zhongling during this period, and the emperor wanted to come to observe the military power in person, which was also a kind of test for him.

Tomorrow I will watch the military drills, so I just told him today.

He was only given one day to prepare, with the intention of testing his achievements in managing the army.

The emperor's presence was also a form of support.

In order to allow him to boldly reform the Guards, he can clean up the Northern Army.

Liu Qing readily accepted the invitation: "Of course I am willing to go and have a look."

Huo Qubing said hello, and left with the gift, ready to go directly to the guard station outside the city to make many arrangements.

Let's go now... Liu Qing was startled.

At noon the next day, Huo Qubing arrived as scheduled to pick up Liu Qing and go to the school outside the city.

Liu Qingchao waited for a long time, then meandered out from the hall, changed into a blue and white Liuxian dress, with an exquisite appearance.

Go to the school field to count soldiers and inspect the army.Huo Qubing was dressed in bright silver armor, as straight as a spear.

"Let's go, I have something to discuss with the princess on the road." Huo Qubing turned around and pointed to the frame not far away.

"Do you want to take a chariot..."

Although they have been accused of being married, they are not married after all, and it is a bit illegal to ride in the same frame.

But Huo Qubing has never been a person who cares about rules.As Liu Qing asked, he had already followed behind him, and walked towards the frame very consciously.

Huo Qubing climbed onto the shaft of the chariot first, turned around and stretched out his hand to pick Liu Qing up.

Her Highness the Princess pursed her lips slightly, her eyes with thick eyelashes flickered slightly, she shyly handed out her little hands, let him hold them, lifted them up, and both of them boarded the frame.

The heavy veil was drawn down, and there were only two people in the car.

There is actually a basin of ice cubes in the car, which is very cool.

Otherwise, it would not be comfortable to sit in the car on such a hot day.

This ice basin was obviously prepared for Liu Qing.

Liu Qing felt a little sweet in his heart, and sat down on one side first, giving up the main seat to Huo Qubing.

Not far away, Qin Qingyu came out of the hall and saw that his apprentice had been kidnapped again, so he had no choice but to board the Luanjia behind which belonged to Liu Qing.

The team left Changle Palace and drove out of the city.

At this time, the big cat appeared mysteriously at the foot of the wall on one side, landed silently and jumped under the chariot, hooked its claws on the wooden shaft beside the chariot, hung its body on the wall of the chariot, and listened to the movement in the chariot.

"Brother Huang's will has been delivered to me, about Huo Hou... and this palace's marriage." Liu Qing's voice was clear, and he gave Huo Qubing a stern look.

"Your Majesty wants me to marry the princess in autumn."

Huo Qubing thought to himself that when the emperor mentioned the autumn time, the war against the Xiongnu would end soon, and the emperor hoped that he would return to the court with the power of victory, and then marry the princess.

Liu Qing asked in a low voice: "After getting married with Huo Hou, can... not have intercourse right away?"

"I told Brother Huang that it will take some time to complete the technique of closing the consciousness of the primordial spirit that I am practicing."

Talking about intercourse, even her snowy neck became rosy.

After marriage, I have the initiative to share different rooms, and I will have no control over you at that time...

"I told the emperor before that it will take at least three to five years to cultivate the art of closed consciousness of the primordial spirit. It's just an excuse. I don't want to get married so early. Actually, it doesn't take that long, at most it can be accomplished in a year. Then...then... "Liu Qing didn't know how to continue.

"Then you can consummate the house."

Huo Qubing smiled and said: "I promise the princess first."

Liu Qing was a little confused, he didn't pay attention to agree to these three words first, the hidden meaning, and nodded in relief after hearing the words.

Huo Qubing suddenly said: "The princess didn't want to get married before, so she shirked and said it would take three to five years, but after knowing it was me, she agreed?"

Liu Qing's face turned completely red, and he almost hid his face with his hands, and hummed imperceptibly.

In a short while, the frame went out of the city and came out of the city.

On the field of the Guard Academy on the outskirts of the city, there were quite a few people.

The square-shaped Weijun University Field covers an area of ​​three to four hundred feet, with a high platform rising from the middle of the ground.

The emperor just walked into the high platform at the other end of the school field and took his seat.

Twenty or thirty ministers of civil and military affairs came, divided into two rows, like a court meeting.

Liu Qing also saw that many members of the clan were also present, watching the training with the emperor.

After she and Huo Qubing got out of the car, they walked towards the high platform, whispering as they walked: "Chen Ji, the son of Sister Longli's family, was injured a few days ago, and Marquis Longli also came from his fief to visit. Be careful."

Huo Qubing felt that someone was watching him from the moment he got off the car.

It was a tall man with a middle-aged appearance, and he was Long Luhou.

He is the son of Liu Xing, the former princess of Guantao, and Chen Wu, the marquis of Tangyi, and the brother of Liu Che's first queen.

Empress Chen lost power, Wei Zifu became the second empress, and Marquis Long Lu also lost her power.These years have been living in the feudal land, and rarely come to Chang'an to attract attention.

This time, he came from the fief only after hearing the message from Princess Longli.

There is still some shadow in his family, and he has many contacts with some civil and military ministers, and even people from the clan.

Long Luhou Chen Yu was very strong, with thick hair on his face and a short beard on his chin, he looked very mighty.But his eyes are unruly, and his temperament is somewhat similar to that of his son Chen Ji.

He was sitting on the edge of the high platform with members of the clan, and when he saw Huo Qubing getting off the car, he asked the people beside him: "Is that Huo Qubing with his back against Wei?"

The name of the clan around him is Liu Yi, with white hair and white beard, he is an old man of the late emperor's generation:
"It is indeed Huo Qubing, who has made great achievements in battle. His Majesty has just bequeathed Ping Xian to him, which shows how much he is favored."

Long Lihou snorted secretly, stared at Huo Qubing who was walking towards the emperor, and then looked at Liu Qing who was next to him, with a look of surprise on his face.

The high platform of the school field.

At the emperor's order, many civil servants also came.

After Dong Zhongshu's death, Sima Qian, Bai Yu, Zhou Ping, Da Xingling Li Xi and others who had just returned to Chang'an were all there.

Sima Qian said in a low voice: "I was just about to ask Teacher, what is the purpose of His Majesty coming to the school to watch the drill of the guards at this time?"

Dong Zhongshu habitually stroked his beard with one hand. Sima Qian could tell that the emperor was not just here to see the guards drill, but he was quite satisfied. miscellaneous.

Sima Qian smiled, and without asking any further questions, he turned his head and chatted with Bai Yu next to him:

"When I was walking outside, I often heard the common people talk about the power of our Han army. Brother, have you ever seen military training?"

Bai Yu smiled wryly and said: "Never, but the champion who led the army this time, is very skilled in military affairs, and he has been taught by his brother.

Your Majesty bestowed upon him the title of champion, so you can know what he meant. "

Sima Qian: "When I travel around, I also hear a lot of praises for this champion. I just want to observe his military formation and see what's so special about it."

At this time Liu Qing went to sit aside with Qin Qingyu, while Huo Qubing came to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty."

Liu Che waved his hands, indicating that the training can begin.

On the school field, Huo Qubing turned around and gestured to Yao Zhao and Zhao Ponu who were in the distance.

Boom—boom!
The war drum suddenly beat, and the sound shook the school grounds.

In the Han Dynasty, the way of commanding and conveying orders was not limited to drums or bells, but also flags, arrows and horns.

But to command the army, the drum is still the most used, because of its strong penetrating power, it can be transmitted to every corner of the battlefield.

On the battlefield where cold weapons confront each other, whether orders can be delivered in time and implemented is one of the main factors that determine the outcome.

Therefore, the method of sending signals to the battlefield is very important.

All parties are working hard to study, whoever can make orders and prohibit them, and the communication is accurate and efficient, is equivalent to mastering the initiative on the battlefield.

At this time, the war drum sounded, and the vibration on the ground suddenly became violent, like a thunderbolt.

Two teams of soldiers rushed into the school field from the other side of the school field two hundred zhang away.

Each of these two teams is armored and sharpened, wearing black armor with dark red blood lines in between, riding on military horses.

When they entered the school grounds, they came out of the water formation as twin dragons, advancing side by side.

Then the queues quickly interspersed, the left row goes to the right, and the right row goes to the left. The subtlety is that the two sides are in the same position and pass by each other, like gears meshing with each other and interlocking.

The entire team of thousands of troops did not stagnate in the slightest.Every other person, interspersed left and right.

The changing process of the military formation is as swift as flowing clouds and flowing water, which is breathtaking.

The picture of thousands of troops galloping and running wildly has a sense of shock that drives people's hearts.

"For this military training, what items have you arranged for Qubing, and is there any battle drill?" the emperor asked.

Huo Qubing: "There are not only battle drills, but also supernatural powers. Several military officials have made some improvements. I'm going to ask Your Majesty to watch them."

Everyone around was listening to the conversation between the two, and they all looked sideways when they heard the words.

You must know that from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, the art of military formation has a long history.From the mixed battle formations of the Warring States Period, Zheng Guo Yanyue Formation, Wei Shu Square Formation, Wu State Infantry Formation, Qin Dynasty Army Formation, etc., it has evolved from generation to generation.

The military strategists of all dynasties strive for excellence and are very mature, and it is not easy to make a slight change.

That's why Huo Qubing said that he has changed and improved his military formation technique.

From a certain point of view, this is equivalent to saying that I can stand shoulder to shoulder with the great military strategists of all ages, so I dare to optimize and improve the military formation handed down by them.

Even Liu Che's face, which rarely changed, showed a little surprise, and the others looked at Huo Qubing in unison.

During this time, Dong Zhongshu, Fan Xi, and Zhou Ping, who had already recognized Huo Qubing's talent in military affairs, couldn't help looking at each other after hearing this.

Improving the military formation and actual combat are completely different levels.

Not to mention Huo Qubing, even Wei Qing, everyone didn't think he could be compared to those sages who researched the military formation and laid the foundation of the military.

A group of civil servants, as well as some generals, were somewhat disapproving.

If you want to improve the military formation, it is very rare to have a slight change... This is the thinking of most people.

Hehe... Someone laughed lightly, and it was in the direction Longli Hou Chen Yu was in.

On the school field, there were more than two thousand cavalry rushing into the field.

They passed by in a double formation, and then changed into a scissor formation, and the formation continued to change as they galloped.

The sound of hooves roared.

The team suddenly separated into two rows on the school field, riding left and right, roaring towards the central viewing platform.

Huo Qubing made a gesture, and the next moment, the whole army stopped moving suddenly.

The visual impact brought by the sudden stop from the high-speed movement while reining in at the same time made some people shudder quietly.

Civil servants and members of the clan who thought that the battle drills were nothing to watch before, have been involuntarily attracted by the military columns on the school grounds.

Thousands of troops gathered, and the strength of the soldiers was far beyond their expectations.

And this is just the beginning.

Whoa!

The queue reorganized and moved again, slowly and quickly.

They entered the arena in an array of two dragons coming out of the water. At this moment, they quickly turned into an array of three talents, followed by an array of four gates, an array of five armies, and then an array of six Ding Liujia.

When the formation reached the Five Armies Formation, Dong Zhongshu had already seen the key point, straightened his back slightly, and showed a look of surprise on his face.

Sima Qian also quickly saw the essence of it, and asked in a low voice:
"Master, this is the Five Armies Beast Hunting Formation that the Marquis of Huaiyin studied and used, but was lost after death, and no one can use it?"

The so-called five-army formation refers to the coordinated changes among the square formation, circular formation, conical formation, geese formation, and hook formation. It is difficult for all formations to turn around without hindrance.

Each person's position moves forward or backward, and when combined together, there are no mistakes or omissions before they can be used in actual combat. Only when the offense and defense are integrated during the changes can the opponent be unable to deal with it, and the power is unparalleled.

After Han Xin, many military strategists in this dynasty are studying this kind of military formation.

Because it can be attacked and defended, with infinite changes, the actual combat effect is amazing.

But none of the generals dared to use it in actual combat. The reason is that such a complex military formation should be used in actual combat without being afraid of the opponent's impact and interference. The difficulty is simply insurmountable.

So far, no one understands why Han Xin was able to do it. Using the Five Army Beast Hunting Formation for actual combat, it changed in every possible way, and the battle formation was not chaotic.

"It's not just the Five Armies Formation, it has indeed improved."

Dong Zhongshu has always been inclusive and absorbs everything from others.

Because of making the military palace slips, he has done a lot of research on the strategy and practice of military strategists, and immediately said: "The five-army formation shown by the Champion Hou seems to be faster, pursuing the speed of change, and giving up a little attack and defense. on the power.

The army formations of the Marquis of Huaiyin and Huaiyin each have their own strengths.And he used cavalry to show it, which was even more difficult. "

Really improved, simpler and faster.

At this time, the army formation is still changing, and the coquettish moves.

Even Emperor Wu didn't expect that Huo Qubing could take over the guard army in such a short period of time, and the way of training the generals was so vividly presented.

He is an emperor who understands military affairs, and he saw the key point, so his eyes were shining brightly, and he stared at the battle formation on the field without blinking.

In fact, it is not uncommon for Huo Qubing to be able to improve the military formation.

He took advantage of Han Xin's unique method, that is, the method of dividing the Yin body and combining it with the resurrection of the dead.

This technique can not only bring back the soul from a corpse, but also has the effect of affecting the soul of ordinary people.

Huo Qubing used the resurrection technique on several key positions of the army to divide his spiritual thoughts and integrate with them, so that he could directly convey orders to these troops through his consciousness.

This is the most correct usage of resurrecting the dead. It fundamentally solves the problem of unsmooth communication on the battlefield.

Han Xin was invincible and was known as the Immortal of Soldiers.With this unique method of communication, the ability to dispatch troops must also be one of the factors.

Now it was Huo Qubing's turn.

He activated his supernatural powers in his consciousness, and the thousands of soldiers on the entire school field were like chess pieces.

The several armies connected with him with divine sense immediately led the troops to intersperse and change, allowing the army formation to show orderly changes and power.

The subtlety of the process stunned the generals who knew how to fight.

This kind of military formation training, like the means of using arms and fingers, is exactly the state that all military strategists dream of.

This kind of training and improvement may be more important than actually making military achievements, because it improves the combat level of the entire Han army.

"No matter how good the military training is, it may not be useful on the battlefield."

I don't know who made the comment suddenly. They didn't comment on the quality of the military formation, but pointed out the impracticality of the training from another angle.

Huo Qubing glanced at Chen Yu, Marquis of Longyou who was a little far away.

At this moment, someone in the queue watching the battle suddenly got up from his seat: "Huns!"

Another team came in outside the school field, it was the Huns!
Where did the Huns come from in Chang'an?
"Is it a prisoner, the surrendered soldiers of the Huns captured in previous battles?"

In dealing with the Xiongnu, Wei Qing has always used the means of controlling the Huns, so not all the Han captured prisoners were killed.

In history, no matter under Wei Qing or Huo Qubing's command, many Huns surrendered their troops and turned around and were used by them to attack the Huns.

Some Xiongnu captives who would rather die than surrender will be driven to participate in heavy labor, working hard, building city walls, digging canals and repairing dams, etc.

There are dam repairs around Chang'an and Xianyang.

"I planned to use these captives to train soldiers. The recruits will not see blood and cannot go to the battlefield. They are just used to practice battle formations for His Majesty to watch."

Huo Qubing explained: "I have sent an order to the captives to fight with our army. If they win, they will survive. If they lose, they will die on the spot. They will fight to the death in order to survive. Use this to test the army formation. India proves the power of war.

The opponent had more than [-] prisoners, and our army also used the same number to confront them to see who wins and who loses! "

On the field, with the appearance of the Huns, murderous intentions overflowed instantly, and the fighting spirit was agitated.

Many civil and military ministers and those who came to watch the military power were all in high spirits.

I didn't expect to see actual combat training, involving life and death!

Those Xiongnu soldiers were originally prisoners of death, and if they had a chance to fight, their faces were full of ferocious and desperate looks, and they all had the idea of ​​killing a few Han soldiers even if they were desperate.

A civil servant's face turned pale: "Champion Marquis, you have brought many Huns here, are you afraid of bumping into the holy car?"

Huo Qubing looked at the civil official, when His Majesty is as weak as you?
And those Han soldiers around the school grounds, everyone holding bows and crossbows, are they eating dry food?
"Go to war!" Huo Qubing gave the order.
