The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 84 Xuanjia Army Zhao Qiang

Zhao Qiang was once a member of the Tang Dynasty's Xuanjia Army. Li Shimin played a very important role in the process of unifying the world in the Tang Dynasty. In particular, he led his army to defeat more with less and eliminated two powerful forces, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande.

There is a very important reason why Li Shimin was able to win. That is that he has an "ace" force in his hands, which can be said to be invincible!
This ace unit is Li Shimin's "Xuanjia Army"!The so-called "Xuanjia Army", as the name suggests, the soldiers of this army are all wearing black armor, and this is a cavalry unit.

According to historical records, "The King of Qin selected more than a thousand elite cavalry from the people, all of whom were dressed in soap and wore black armor."

Even though the Xuanjia Army only had more than 1000 people, they were the elite among the elite, and they were all carefully selected. Therefore, both their personal physical fitness and their horses and weapons and equipment were among the best at the time.

Historical records record that Li Shimin personally went into battle every time he fought, and he also wore Xuanjia, and then led the Xuanjia army as the vanguard, "taking advantage of the opportunity to attack, destroying everything in his direction, and making the enemy fear him."During Li Shimin's campaign, the Xuanjia Army was like a sharp blade piercing the heart of the enemy.

The most classic battle example is that in July 620, Li Shimin was ordered to lead his army out of the customs to conquer Wang Shichong, who ruled in Luoyang, Henan.On one occasion, Xingtai Pushe Qu Tutong and Zan Huanggong Dou Gui led their troops to inspect the camp. Suddenly they encountered Wang Shichong's army. The two sides fought, and the Tang army was defeated.

After Li Shimin heard the news, he personally led the Xuanjia Army to rescue.The Xuanjia Army defeated the greater number with a small number, quickly reversed the situation of the battle, defeated Wang Shichong, "captured his cavalry general Ge Yanzhang, captured and killed more than [-] people, and Shichong escaped."

Later, Li Shimin also led some elite members of the Xuanjia Army to launch the Xuanwumen Revolution.After Li Shimin became emperor, he adjusted the Xuanjia Army. Part of it was incorporated into the Forbidden Army, named "Hundred Cavalry", while the other part continued to fight on the battlefield and also participated in the war against the Turks.

There are still some people who directly disarm and return to the field. As for the Xuanjia Army who disarm and return to the field, they are basically people who have been injured or no longer have the desire for war. After all, it is easy to say that it is easy to win with less, but the danger involved is almost a narrow escape. Killing, being killed, is just a thought, and one's comrades die in an instant, which makes some people want to live a normal life.

Zhao Qiang is such a person, he just wants his wife and children to stay on the hot bed, but Liu Fangzi points out one of Zhao Qiang’s key points, that is, children. Zhao Qiang can have his wife and children stay on the hot bed, and rest at sunrise and sunset, but he is In this way, Zhao Qiang can't let his children be like this. There is no parent who doesn't want their children to have a good future.

It is said that everything is inferior but the only one who is good at reading is that entering Lijiacun can let his children go to school. To be honest, this is very tempting to Zhao Qiang. Looking at Liu Fangzi, Zhao Qiang just thought about it for less than a few seconds, and saw Zhao Qiang's eyes firm. He said: "Wherever the selection is, I will take the test."

When Liu Fangzi saw that Zhao Qiang had agreed, he smiled happily and said, "Brother Qiang. That's great. You're here. From now on, you will be the captain and I will be your assistant."

At this time, Zhao Qiang shook his head: "If Fang Zi. 伱 says that, I won't go. I won't be the captain or the squad leader. I will only be a guard. I will not take the initiative to kill people. Only others can kill Li." I will take action only when the village is unfavorable. You must help me negotiate this with Lang Jun, otherwise, I will not enter Lijia Village."

Seeing Zhao Qiang's determined look, Liu Fangzi could only nod: "Okay. Let's take the exam first. We'll talk about everything after the exam is successful."

"Okay!" Zhao Qiang nodded slightly.

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.." The heavy rain kept falling. Li An, Liu Xiatian, and others sat under the eaves of a house, watching a group of people in front of them taking an exam in the rain. Among this group of people, there were Liu Xiatian, Liu Fang Son, the soldiers Liu Yi invited back include Lijiacun's own soldiers, as well as some soldiers who heard the news from around them.

These soldiers are really powerful. They are proficient in knives, spears, and archery. After all, the people who survived the battlefield performed archery in the rain, and their arrows actually hit the target.

With a horizontal hold of the sword, you can perform the general's sword skills vividly. With a spear, it is like a dragon coming out of the sea, seeming to split the rain curtain in two.

Li An noticed Zhao Qiang at this time. This man actually raised a stone mill weighing about three hundred kilograms with one hand and raised it directly over his head. The strength really amazed Li An. You must know that Li An was a reconnaissance officer. He was born in the military and has very strong physical fitness, but the maximum strength Li An can lift with one hand is about 120 kilograms.

A normal man can lift about [-] to [-] pounds with one hand, which is already the limit. Some people will say that is wrong. Those strong men are not very powerful and can lift about a thousand pounds at a time.

Indeed, there was a World's Strongest Man competition in which a Lithuanian strongman, Drunas Savikos, grabbed a barbell weighing 524 kilograms in one breath and easily broke the world record. 1000 pounds?This is the weight of an adult buffalo.What's even more exaggerated is that during the whole process, Drewas didn't even shed a drop of sweat!

It's just that the concepts of grabbing and lifting over the head are different. The [-]-pound stone grinder can be grabbed with one hand. It is really strong. Li An was amazed by the strength.

Looking at Zhao Qiang, Li An didn't dare to imagine. If this man was given heavy armor, a good horse, and a stallion, who would dare to be an enemy of this man on the battlefield? people.

But what Li An didn't know was that Zhao Qiang had actually done what Li An was thinking about at this time. In the battle of Hulao Pass, Zhao Qiang's entire team died in the battle. Only Zhao Qiang killed a hole in the Hulao Pass with 10 people. When Zhao Qiang came back, his black armor turned into blood red, and the mask was on his face, only revealing his blood red eyes, like a god of death.

"well!"

After taking the exam, Li An finalized the 50 people in the escort team and announced that among the 50 people in the escort team, those who were not from Lijia Village could bring their families into Lijia Village. The monthly salary of all the escort teams was ten guan, and they could You are assigned a house in Lijia Village and do not need to work, but you need to train every day and patrol Lijia Village to protect the safety of all villagers in Lijia Village.
The people who were selected were very happy, especially the monthly salary of ten thousand yuan, which was something they had never dared to think about. Now that everything has come true, it was a joy. After everyone thanked Li An, signed the servant letter, and then Li An gave each of them ten kilograms of rock candy. All the guards happily picked up the rock candy and went home. Today is their happiest day, oh no. For those who are not in Lijia Village The happiest thing would be to live in a new house in Lijiacun with his family as a guard.

"Brother Li, brother Li...!"

Just when the guards were leaving, under a curtain of rain, Li Zhi's carriage came slowly. Before the carriage stopped, Li Zhi couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage. Who knew that he staggered, but fortunately Li An He quickly raised his umbrella to support Li Zhi: "Zhinu, why are you here?"

Li Zhi held Li An's hand, raised his head and looked at Li An with a smile and said happily: "Brother, I'm here to bring you a good thing."
