Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

Time passed day by day, and the training of the left and right battalions of the Bingzhou Horse Infantry Army also entered the regular stage.Similarly, the new army's ghost-faced riding training has been going on for a while, and the soldiers are very active in the training process. The root cause may be that the publicity effect of Li Ke's saber reward mechanism has played a big role.However, while the combat level is constantly improving, the defect still exists, that is, the lack of horses leads to the insufficient training intensity of the new army, and the endurance and speed of the horses often limit Su Dingfang's requirements for ghost-faced riders.However, this problem cannot be solved in a short time. After all, there is a shortage of horses in Bingzhou. The horses used in the training of the new army are all old horses used by the Bingzhou Army before. Their endurance and speed are not as good as those of the wolf riding camp and heavy cavalry They are good horses from the battalion, so they can barely be used for training, but when they actually meet the Turkic cavalry on the battlefield, not only do they not have enough combat capabilities, but they will become a burden for the knights.

Regarding the shortage of ghost-faced horses, Su Dingfang was very calm. He knew that Li Ke would do what he said, and Su Dingfang would never doubt that he could solve the problem of ghost-faced horses.However, Guo Xiaoke, as the head of the governor's office, is responsible for managing the training of the new army. When he saw the phenomenon of the ghost-faced rider's serious shortage of good horses, although he thought of Li Ke's promise to solve the ghost-faced rider's horses, he still specifically mentioned it to Li Ke. Let's talk about how to solve the problem of the war horse in front of us.

Li Ke ignored Guo Xiaoke's question except for smiling. He just told Guo Xiaoke to hurry up and train, and there would be enough fighting horses when the Ghost Face Cavalry trained.Guo Xiaoke was dubious about Li Ke's words. Although he knew that Li Ke was deeply favored by the current emperor, the phenomenon that the entire Datang army lacked horses appeared. No matter how much Li Shimin loved him, he would not help him too much on this issue, so He didn't like Li Ke's ability to solve the problem of riding a war horse with a ghost face, but Li Ke had already agreed, so he could only wait patiently.

Li Ke returned to the study, Li Ke calculated the time, it is now April of the first year of Zhenguan, and he has been in Bingzhou for more than two months, and the snow in Mobei should melt!He looked at the map quietly for a long time, and smashed it hard on Youzhou, north of Dingxiang, with a smile on his face, and said to himself, "It's time for the king to go out and relax." , it’s really difficult to stay in Taiyuan Mansion for a long time!"

Immediately, he looked at the map in detail for a long time, and shouted to the guards in black outside the door, "Notify Chen Qi to prepare horses for the king, and the king will go out of the city to inspect the barracks. Pass the order of the king to let Sun Erlang, Li Mengchang and Su Dingfang assembled the soldiers and horses to the camp of the left army."

"No," the black-clothed guard shouted respectfully.

Li Ke went out of the study and ordered Lan Er to put him in military uniform.The silver-white Governor's armor was worn on Li Ke's body, making Li Ke look more heroic, and Lan'er who was standing aside couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and secretly praised in his heart, "Your Highness looks even more heroic when he is wearing a royal robe. ah!".

At the same time, Lan'er was also surprised that His Highness had never worn a military uniform, even when he was on a mission to Turkic, he was still wearing royal robes, why did he suddenly put on military uniforms today?Could it be?When Lan Er thought of this, she couldn't help but glanced at Li Ke worriedly. Li Ke understood what Lan Er was thinking, and smiled at her, "It's nothing serious. This king just wants to go out of the city and visit the barracks."

"Your Highness wants to do, you don't need to explain to Lan'er, Lan'er understands, I just hope that Your Highness pays attention to safety." Lan'er found that Li Ke understood what she was thinking, she couldn't help but blushed slightly, and said in a low voice.

At this moment, Chen Qi strode in, bowed and said, "Your Highness, the horses are ready, please give your orders."

"En!" Li Ke glanced at Chen Qi with satisfaction. Chen Qi and Su Dingfang are definitely the two most loyal generals around him. Although he is not as good at commanding as Su Dingfang, his strong strength is definitely the most valuable to Li Ke. His wealth is definitely one of the best fighters in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ke was escorted by Chen Qi, Wang Zhongchang, and Zhu Tong out of the Dudu Mansion. The three hundred black-clothed guards outside the gate were already ready to go. Li Ke stepped on the horse led by Chen Qi and shouted, "Go out of the city and go to the Zuojun camp. .”

"Nuo" more than 300 people rushed to the left army camp outside the city.

The Bingzhou army and horses have been integrated by Li Ke into three armies, namely Li Mengchang's Bingzhou horse infantry left battalion, Sun Erlang's Bingzhou horse infantry right battalion, and Su Dingfang's cavalry battalion.Among them, the left and right battalions are located in the left and right camps of the left and right troops ten miles outside the city of Taiyuan Prefecture in Bingzhou respectively. They are responsible for the security of the outer perimeter of Taiyuan Prefecture. The [-] soldiers in the army are Li Ke's most loyal wolf cavalry battalion.

The Wolf Riding Battalion originally had 600 people. Li Ke asked Su Dingfang to supplement the Wolf Riding Battalion with 3000 soldiers led by Su Dingfang who followed him and experienced fighting in Mobei. The number of Wolf Riding Battalions reached [-]. After a few fights, and fighting against the most stalwart Turkic cavalry, Jieli's iron guards, after experiencing the baptism of war, coupled with their loyalty, Li Ke made them the main force of his personal guard.

Therefore, although the head coach of the black guards is Su Dingfang, the purpose and responsibility of the Wolf Cavalry Battalion is to protect Li Ke's safety.Therefore, the coach of the wolf cavalry battalion is still Li Ke's favorite general, Chen Qi. Compared with Su Dingfang, Chen Qi is far behind in governing the army, but he has always followed Li Ke and received his guidance and cultivation. The training was more ferocious than the real wolves, which made Li Ke feel at ease that they would protect his own safety.

Therefore, although both Sun Erlang and Li Mengchang have [-] soldiers and horses, they have more soldiers and horses than they used to command, and they have greater power.But now they have been transferred out of Taiyuan City and have lost their ability to control Taiyuan Mansion. They are no longer a threat to Li Ke.Even if one day they want to be unfavorable to Li Ke, they want to attack the city to deal with Li Ke, and there are [-] soldiers and horses standing guard inside the city, and [-] cavalry outside the city are responsible for defense, they dare not act rashly.Therefore, it can be said that the soldiers and horses of Taiyuan Mansion have been controlled by Li Ke.

Su Dingfang, Li Mengchang, and Sun Erlang, commanders-in-chief of the Bingzhou Mabu Army, were all taken aback when they received Li Ke's order. What exactly does His Highness want to do?Why should all the three armies gather in the camp of the left army?It shouldn't be so troublesome to patrol the soldiers and horses. Although the distance between the three military camps is less than 4 miles, it is quite time-consuming to mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.Although Su Dingfang and Sun Erlang were puzzled in their hearts, none of their subordinates dared to be negligent. They immediately notified the troops to assemble and marched to the Zuojun camp at full speed.The cavalry battalion and the right battalion came to the left camp. Li Mengchang, Su Dingfang and Sun Erlang hurriedly formed the three armies into three square teams, and Li Ke came down to the left camp under the escort of three hundred eagle guards.There must be a purpose for him to assemble the three armies in the Zuojun camp. Why did he gather in the Zuojun camp?Because the newly built barracks of the left army camp can accommodate [-] troops, unlike the right army camp and cavalry battalion which cannot accommodate [-] horses.

"The last general Su Dingfang, Li Mengchang, and Sun Erlang have seen His Highness." Seeing Li Ke, the three hurried forward to salute.

"You don't need to be too polite. The three generals have worked hard in training the new army recently." Li Ke jumped off his horse and stepped forward to help the three of them up.Then, he glanced at Sun Erlang, "General Sun, how is your right battalion training going?"

"His Royal Highness, the final general can guarantee that the right battalion is ready to fight the enemy at any time, and will never embarrass His Highness." Sun Erlang is a rough man, and Li Ke knows how much he values ​​him, even though he follows Li Ji He has been used to treating himself as his confidant for many years, but Li Ke has given trust and expectations to such a strange general as him, who has given him trust and expectations, how can he not repay Li Ke.

"En!" Li Kelang said in a loud voice, "What this king wants is your words, this king knows that you will not let this king down." Then, he said to Li Meng beside him, "General Li's left hand What about the battalion? Are you ready to go out to fight for the country at any time?"

"To defend the Tang Dynasty and kill the enemy for the Tang Dynasty, our Zuoying has a duty to do so. We must take the lead and dare to be the first in the world." Li Ke said sonorously.

"Good! Good." Li Ke even said three good words. He never thought that what he said in the Youying barracks would cause such a big change in the two bloody men in front of him.Sure enough, military will, military honor, and military responsibility are always the most precious things for soldiers, and they are all things that soldiers should have by nature.

Li Ke didn't continue to ask questions, and accompanied by Su Dingfang, Li Mengchang and Sun Erlang, he walked onto the platform.Point the right battalion in front of the platform to the right, the left battalion to the left, the cavalry battalion in the middle, and the whole army of the state army to be divided into three squares standing awe-inspiring.Guo Shifeng, the lieutenant of the Ghost Face Cavalry, stood at the forefront of the cavalry battalion. He rode on a tall horse with a straight side like a javelin, which made Li Ke quite satisfied with this young man's style.The soldiers of the third battalion waited silently for Li Ke's inspection. After Li Ke came to the stage, he didn't speak. He looked at every soldier in front of him, and the barracks was silent in silence.

"Soldiers!" Li Ke said suddenly.

"Shua..." The soldiers of the third battalion of the Bingzhou Army raised their spears at the same time and shouted, "No!"

"Your panic, fear and fleeing behavior when you encountered cavalry attacking the camp two months ago made me feel ashamed for you. You are not worthy of being a soldier, and you are not worthy of being a soldier of the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke said here , I saw every soldier bowed his head in shame, "However, today, two months later, you have proved with your actions that your dignity cannot be trampled upon by others, and you have proved with your actions that they are worthy of the Tang Dynasty! Soldiers." Li Ke said here, pausing for a moment, "You make me very pleased. Because you have achieved your true self through your own efforts."

"Shua" all the soldiers raised their heads at the same time and stared at Li Ke.

"This king is asking you now, who are you?"

"Soldier Datang Soldier!"

"Is your mission a mission?" Li Ke roared.

"Rising to the death, defending the family and the country, defending the honor of the Tang Dynasty to the death!" the soldiers of the whole army shouted.

"The good king hopes that you can remember what you said today, and use your lives and the honor of your soldiers to defend the dignity of Datang!"
