Chapter 512

"Your majesty!"

In front of the Youwei military camp, Li Shimin just stopped in the humble iron birch Trojan horse built by Merton for Li Shimin. Under the leadership of Li Jing, the generals who had already waited bowed.

Although Merton's official position is low, his firearms prison is directly under the jurisdiction of Li Shimin, which is naturally welcomed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive me." Li Shimin said loudly when he got off the bus. The western expedition is the most important event in the Tang Dynasty. Now the team of the western expedition will be known in the great martial arts show. Li Shimin will not miss this event.

"Your Majesty, the reading table is ready. Please go." Li Jing came forward.

Li Shimin nodded, looked up at the generals and nodded with satisfaction. These are the cornerstones of the Tang Dynasty. However, when his eyes turned to Fang Merton's young face, he couldn't help humming, ignored Merton directly and strode into the right guard camp.

The generals could not help but bow their heads and smile. The generals who had married their daughters could understand Li Shimin's psychology and couldn't help but look at Merton sympathetically.

Merton reluctantly touched his nose and followed with a bitter smile.

On the battlefield, the west wind hunted and the war flag fluttered. Li Shimin climbed the Colonel's reading platform step by step. Looking at the dense steel jungle under the stage, he couldn't help but rise a burst of pride. This is his invincible army.

"See your majesty!" in an instant, tens of thousands of soldiers suddenly saluted on one knee and drank in unison, as loud as a bell.

"All the soldiers, please get up!" Li Shimin stretched out his hand and lifted it.

"Wow!" all the soldiers got up in an instant, as neat as one.

Li Shimin turned to Li Jing, nodded with satisfaction and said, "morale is available!"

Li jinglang said in a voice: "Your Majesty has come to the barracks in person, and the soldiers can't wait to show their style in front of your majesty.

Li Shimin waved his big hand and said, "what are you waiting for? Let's start!"

Suddenly, the war drums beat, and the eight guards selected elite troops one after another. Naturally, it was impossible for the whole army to fight in the final actual battle, but each set the number at 500.

"Kill!"

Under the reading platform, there were thunderous shouts, and two groups of cavalry suddenly collided and entangled together.

On the stand, a group of generals nervously looked at the two sides' fighting team. The whole Tang Dynasty has selected only Hou Junji and Li daozong to go to war except Li Jing. If other generals want to share in the western expedition, they will have a chance only if they fight again.

Under the review desk.

"Ha ha! You Xiaowei's brother is sorry. I'll win a game first." Duan Zhixuan, a general of Zuo Qianniu Wei, couldn't help smiling when he saw that his victory was decided.

Sun Shunde, the commander of the right Xiaowei general on the losing side, although his face was embarrassed, he did not lose his demeanor and bowed his hands and said, "congratulations to general Duan."

Li Shimin looked at Duan Zhixuan with satisfaction. Duan Zhixuan was a famous fierce general in the Tang Dynasty. He had first-class ability in unifying troops. It was reasonable to be selected for the western expedition.

Morton sighed that the inertia of history was indeed very strong. In his previous life, Duan Zhixuan had presided over the first war against Tuyuhun. This time, with the promotion of Morton, he directly advanced the war one year. Unexpectedly, Duan Zhixuan still participated in the war.

Then, a team of guards caught and fought. Soon, the other six guards also quickly decided the outcome. Qin Qiong's zuowuwei lost to Zuowei Li Daliang, and Zuo Xiaowei general fan Xing lost to Zuojian guard Gao Zhensheng

The last winner turned out to be a general with obvious alien characteristics.

"Zuo Weiwei's Qixin He Li." Cheng Yaojin looked embarrassed. Qixin He Li was especially good at cavalry. His left leading guard was defeated by his iron cavalry.

He was lucky. At the moment, he just decided on the four guards. The defeated four guards still had one chance to win the last place, and Yuchi Jingde on the side was even more bitter. His right Wuwei had already been in the military array exercise and had been defeated, so he was destined to have no chance with the western expedition.

"It's the last place. I don't know which general can win the laurel." Li Shimin turned his eyes and laughed. Cheng Yaojin looked at Qin Qiong, Chang sun Shunde and fan Xing. The world's eyes were full of war.

The four quickly drew lots. Cheng Yaojin played against Chang sun Shunde and Qin Qiong against fan Xing.

"Please don't worry, your majesty. I will certainly fight with all my strength. Even if I lose, I won't lose your Majesty's reputation." Cheng Yaojin said in a loud voice.

"Since general Cheng said so, the younger brother won't hide." the eldest sun Shunde laughed and waved his big hand. Suddenly a team of 500 fully armed cavalry came out, killing people.

"It's the cavalry again!" Cheng Yaojin's face sank. In the first game, he was defeated by Qixin Heli's cavalry. The elite of the cavalry also suffered heavy losses and had little power to fight again. Unexpectedly, changsun Shunde saw the weakness of the left leader and sent cavalry to fight again.

"Ha ha, it seems that Shunde is an old man on the way." Li Shimin laughed.

Li Shimin was not surprised by Chang sun Shunde's cunning. On the battlefield, it was always changing in an instant. It was to seize the loopholes of the enemy. What Chang sun Shunde did was nothing.

"Even if I lose too much of my cavalry elite, don't think I'm going to eat me." Cheng Yaojin sneered.

"I didn't say that. Besides, what is cavalry now? I have a young talent who has found a way to restrain cavalry. Why should brother Cheng be so pessimistic? It's really not good. You can ask someone for help!" the eldest sun Shunde pointed out.

Suddenly, many people turned their eyes to Merton at the end. Merton was also stunned. He was sitting at home. Misfortune came from heaven. Sitting there honestly could cause trouble.

"Grandson Shunde, is it the grandson family!" Merton thought suddenly.

However, he did not know that this was only one of the reasons why Chang sun Shunde was unhappy with him, and the real reason was that he had always had the idea of cavalry supremacy in the army.

In the army, the equipment and treatment of cavalry are often higher than that of ordinary infantry. Usually, the cost of one cavalry is enough to feed three infantry. Even generals of the same level often feel superior to infantry generals.

However, it was circulated in the army that Merton offered the way for infantry to restrain cavalry, which made some cavalry generals feel stuck in their throat. Now it just broke out at the right time.

Not only chang sun Shunde, but also other cavalry generals looked at Merton with a trace of banter.

Cheng Yaojin's anger flashed in his eyes. Merton's Macedonian square array can indeed restrain the cavalry, but it is only in the martial arts field of the Imperial Palace, and the site is narrow. Now in the barracks sand field, the scene is wide, which is conducive to the cavalry. In addition, the soldiers are all famous heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and the role of Macedonian square array is extremely limited.

One side of the Qixin He Li even stepped out and said, "tell your majesty, I also want to see the method of restraining cavalry of marquis mo."

He was born on the grassland, lived on horseback all year round, and was a loyal supporter of cavalry supremacy. Moreover, he was reused by Li Shimin because he was good at commanding cavalry. However, once the status of cavalry was shaken, his value would be greatly reduced. Naturally, he did not want such a thing to happen.

All eyes immediately focused on Merton.
