As soon as he entered the military academy, the people of the Persian mission looked straight in the eye. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The architectural style of the military academy was something they had never seen before, and this alone was already beyond the sight of the dry Persians.

"Such a building......" Belus asked, looking at the surrounding military academy buildings with some surprise.

Xia Hongsheng smiled: "Hehe, it's just some buildings." Your Royal Highness the Prince, let's go to the back training ground to inspect the soldiers first. ”

"Yes, yes!" As soon as Belus was reminded, he immediately nodded and said: "Xiao Wang has long heard countless legends about the Tang Dynasty soldiers, and today he can finally see the true face of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, which is really Xiao Wang's dream!" ”

The group walked back, passing by the Loyal Soul Square located in the military academy.

The towering stele immediately stunned the Persians.

I saw that the stele was wide and towering, thick and cold. There are reliefs all around the stele, on which the image of a person is depicted, so that people can know at a glance that it is depicting a scene on the battlefield.

Walking in a little further, I saw that the facial features of those reliefs were not very clear, but from the pictures outlined by those reliefs, we could see the tragedy of the war at that time.

The bronze tripods around the stele were gradually placed, and the smoke in them slowly rose.

Belus stared up at the huge, towering and majestic stone monument for a long time before turning his head and asking, "Brother Xia, is this ......?"

Xia Hongsheng looked at the stele, took a deep breath, and said, "Your Royal Highness, this stele is called the Tang Loyal Soul Monument. It was built by Datang in order to commemorate the heroes and soldiers who sacrificed their lives in countless wars, for the victory of Datang, to defend Datang and protect the people. Those soldiers who sacrificed for the Tang Dynasty will always enjoy the offerings and incense of the Tang Dynasty here, and will always be respected by the Tang Dynasty and the people. ”

"I see!" Belus looked solemn: "A warrior who is loyal to his country will always be worthy of respect." Xiao Wang should have saluted them. ”

With that, Belus took a few steps forward, walked to the Shrine of the Heroic Soul under the monument, and respectfully offered incense.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!" After Belus finished the incense, Xia Hongsheng saluted and thanked him.

Everyone left the Heroic Soul Temple and continued to walk back, passing through the entire military academy campus, to the back of the military academy, a special place for drills.

"This is the place where the military academy exercises, Your Royal Highness, please!" Xia Hongsheng made a gesture and asked.

Belus nodded, looking away.

The entrance is an open land, several miles long and wide. Among them, there are neatly arranged squares, square by piece, as if they were painted.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, look, here, there are three thousand Tang soldiers." Xia Hongsheng said to Belus: "Later, they will divide into different waves to fight, and after the battle, they will show the weapons they use for His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Good! Good! Belus was very excited and said: "Seeing these Tang soldiers standing there motionless, like spears, Xiao Wang seems to be able to get a glimpse. ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said to Ma Zhou: "Brother Binwang, you can start." ”

Ma Zhou nodded, took out a whistle, and blew it vigorously.

Suddenly, I saw that the originally static phalanx in the field immediately seemed to come to life, and it instantly transformed into two opposing groups of people.

Xia Hongsheng secretly observed Belus with his side eyes, and saw that he was staring intently at the Tang Dynasty soldiers who were performing in the field.

"Brother Xia, there are many kinds of weapons used in the hands of this Tang Dynasty soldier that Xiao Wang has never seen." Belus turned his head and asked, "I wonder if Brother Xia can explain a thing or two to Xiao Wang?" ”

Hearing Belus's question, Xia Hongsheng knew that Wang Xuance had told Belus before coming to the military academy according to the original plan that he had focused on the weapons of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.

Datang will not directly send troops this time, this has been determined. Therefore, Belus focused on the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, which could only increase the envy of him in vain, letting him know the strength of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, nothing more. And tactics and the art of war, there are too many, Belus just wants to see it, and it is difficult to see a doorway, let alone learn it secretly just by watching this time. Let Wang Xuance point this out to Belus, so that he can focus on the armor and weapons equipped by the Tang Dynasty soldiers, and lead him in the direction of the desire to buy Tang weapons.

"I wonder which one His Royal Highness wants to know?" Xia Hongsheng saw that Belus was hooked, so he asked with a smile.

"When the two armies charged against each other before, both sides struck before the other approached." Belus said, "Little King knows that kind of weapon is called a crossbow arrow, but ...... The crossbows and crossbow arrows in the hands of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, how does Xiao Wang look like iron? ”

"That's the steel crossbow that the Tang Army is equipped with." Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "The range of the Datang steel crossbow can reach two hundred steps, and it will not be deformed due to moisture, which is more durable than a wooden bow and crossbow and is not easy to damage." Moreover, all the steel crossbows on the battlefield, the parts of each steel crossbow of all sizes, are all universal. ”

"Two hundred steps?!" Belus was taken aback, and after listening to Xia Hongsheng's words, he was even more surprised: "It's all universal...... What Brother Xia means is that if any steel crossbow is broken, another steel crossbow can be replaced! Two broken steel crossbows, dismantled and combined with each other, are a good steel crossbow again! ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince is right." Xia Hongsheng smiled and nodded.

"What an eye-opener!" Belus exclaimed, and then asked: "Dare to ask Brother Xia, what is the weapon used in the hands of this Tang Dynasty soldier...... To tell you the truth, Xiao Wang has always loved collecting treasure blades and has become obsessed, and he likes to build weapons by himself. Xiao Wang looked at the color and listened to the voice, and felt that the weapon was not simple. Can you let Xiao Wang take a closer look? ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, glanced at Qi Yong, and said, "Qi Yong, hand over your knife." ”

Qi Yong untied his knife and handed it to Xia Hongsheng.

Xia Hongsheng took it and handed it to Belus, and said: "Qi Yong is my personal soldier, and his weapons are the same as those in the Tang army. From the generals to the pawns, the weapons are all made of this material. ”

Of course, this knife is not a knife made of the new steel that was equipped with the real Tang Army, but a knife forged by the original method of making steel.

Belus hurriedly took the knife from Xia Hongsheng's hand, brought it to his face with both hands, carefully looked at the lines on the knife, and touched and flicked it with his fingers, feeling its hardness and toughness.

"Xiao Wang wants to try this knife, I don't know ...... Brother Xia" Belus asked, "Xiao Wang must be careful......"

"Please!" Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please!" This is just the most ordinary knife in the Tang Army, and it is not a very rare thing. The workshops in the Tang Army can make thousands of handles in a month, and His Royal Highness the Prince can try it casually. ”

(Today, I heard my mother call and say that she wants to make a talisman for someone's baby grandson, boil and sterilize it with a bone in a pig's ear, and then grind it to make a bracelet, and then bring it to the child, which is very interesting.) I don't know if there is such a custom in your hometown, but I guess there are customs in various places, right? ）
