In October of the first year of Tang Zhenguan, it is now close to the end of autumn, and the weather has gradually cooled. Now it was cold, and many people were wearing a dress made of thick cloth. And at this time, the time of three months has also arrived. Originally, Jingwen and Zhang Shigui agreed to conduct a military exercise in three months to compete whose soldiers were better. Zhang Shigui's people are all cavalry, and they are all cavalrymen who have been trained for a long time. And Jingwen's side are all people who have just returned from the Turks, and they have only been training for three months. In the eyes of many people, Jingwen was almost certain to lose, because their soldiers were too poor. And Zhang Shigui thought so too, because Jingwen's soldiers' training time was too short, and it was impossible for them to be the opponent of their cavalry.

The location of the military exercise was west of Chang'an City, on the banks of the Weishui River, that is, the place where the then emperor Li Shimin and the Turkic Jieli Khan signed a contract. This is the place where the shame of Weishui occurred, and the emperor chose this place as the place for military exercises, and I don't know what the meaning is.

"Are you ready?" Jingwen asked.

"Ready!" The company commanders shouted together.

Lian Jiang Xiong of the Modao Company said: "Lord Jingwen, this time we must defeat that Zhang Shigui and vent our brother's anger." If we can't defeat Zhang Shigui, then I'm afraid we won't have the face to see our brothers. ”

But Jingwen said: "You don't have to be too nervous, if we lose this military exercise, we will not lose face." And if they lose, then I'm afraid they will lose face. So, let's not be nervous, we should be calm. Anyway, the pressure is on their side, so what are we nervous about? So, don't be nervous, just let it go. Jingwen said.

And Jingwen asked that Feng Yong, "You have presided over everyone's training during this time, how do you feel about the training of these soldiers?" ”

"Lord Jingwen, it's very good. They are all very hardworking. Although they may be a little different from real soldiers, they are also on the battlefield, and they will definitely not tremble. Feng Yong said.

Hearing Feng Yong say this, Jingwen was also relieved. This Feng Yong was originally a brigade commander in the Sui Dynasty's Zhichong Mansion, and strictly speaking, he was the only person who could be an officer of a certain rank. And Jingwen is not an expert in training soldiers, so Jingwen handed over this task to Feng Yong. Feng Yong should not live up to Jingwen's expectations, and easily trained a decent soldier. Although these soldiers may not be as heroic as the soldiers of later generations, they are at least qualified in this era. As for the future, Jingwen can arm these soldiers with some knowledge of later generations. So that they can have the fruits of their training in the future generations.

"Zhang Dong, you and Liu Jian left first with the cavalry, you are our important killer weapon, so you can't appear lightly. So, you go to the detour to the scene first, and we will take the remaining 1,500 people to participate in the military exercise. Jingwen said first.

"Yes!" Zhang Dong said.

Zhang Dong and Liu Jian left with the cavalry, and then Jingwen also set off with the troops, preparing to walk towards the place of the military exercise. And these soldiers were armed with wooden knives. It is stained with white ash, and this is the knife of this military exercise. Because the military exercise is not a real exercise, things like knives, guns, swords, sticks and so on are wooden and have no pointed ends. And bows and arrows were also wrapped in cloth. There's some ink in it, and if you shoot it, it will get the ink on it. In this way, if you are attacked to a fatal position, you will have to withdraw from the battlefield and will not be able to continue fighting.

Which Zhang Shigui took the initiative to propose this military exercise. Anyway, if Jingwen loses this time, he won't be ashamed. Zhang Shigui competed with a chef-turned-goleper, which was already embarrassing. But if you still lose, then I'm afraid you won't have the face to meet those old friends. So. Zhang Shigui couldn't afford to lose this time, but Jingwen couldn't afford to lose. Jing Wen had no pressure anymore, because he was not afraid of Zhang Shigui at all.

"Soldiers, are you willing to lose to that little cook?" Zhang Shigui shouted first.

"I don't want to!"

"Okay, let's go today, the so-called army led by that little cook, and kill him without leaving a single piece of armor. When the time comes, sue them, our right guard is not easy to mess with! Zhang Shigui said.

The cavalry under Zhang Shigui's command didn't take Jingwen seriously, because they didn't think that they would be able to surpass themselves after three months of training. If you can surpass yourself after three months of training, is it in vain to train for a few years? This is their pride, and they are confident that they can defeat Jingwen. What's more, Jingwen is a cook, and in the case that the enemy's commander is only a cook, if they still lose, then they probably have no future in the army at all.

Soon, both sides took their troops to the banks of the Weishui River to prepare for military exercises. And not many people came to see this military exercise, because the surrounding area has been under martial law. Li Shimin still understands it relatively well, because this time the Tang Dynasty is afraid that some new weapons will appear, and some new weapons will actually appear, if the enemy Turks know about it, then I am afraid that some people will cry. Therefore, martial law must be admitted, otherwise if anyone can come in, then I am afraid that Datang has no secrets to keep at all.

"What's the matter, didn't I approve of two thousand of them? Why just 1,500 people came? Li Shimin asked.

And Li Jing next to him was also muttering: "Could it be that this little chef wants to cheat?" But they are all infantry, and they have 500 cavalry, which is a very big weakness! Five hundred cavalry, the only cavalry they could use. The vast majority of those who can restrain the cavalry are also cavalry. But they actually gave up the cavalry, isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Although they can use the Mo Knife, can the Mo Knife really stop the cavalry? ”

Although Li Jing had the idea of relying on the Mo sword to restrain the cavalry, he never thought that this would definitely work. But Li Jing didn't know that Jingwen had many ways to restrain the enemy's cavalry, from TV to books. Therefore, Jingwen was not afraid of Zhang Shigui's cavalry at all, because he had already had a way to restrain them.

"General, that little chef has no cavalry!" A soldier beside Zhang Shigui said.

"Hmph, it's better without cavalry, then we're going to win this time! Don't they know that the only thing that can restrain the cavalry is the cavalry itself? Zhang Shigui said very contemptuously.

Zhang Shigui's idea is similar to an idea in later generations, that is, only battleships can defeat battleships. This thinking is very stubborn, and this is caused by the experience of the vast majority of generals in ancient times. One can imagine what kind of changes it will bring to the world if an aircraft carrier that can sink battleships appears. (To be continued......)
