King Luling stumbled, and couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, just because he didn't know who was so disrespectful, causing him to almost fall out of the foreign appearance, and he didn't want his daughter to shout such a sentence, for a while he didn't want to say that he was pushed out by others, so he had to follow his daughter's appearance and puff up his chest.

Seeing this, Wu Zetian was a little surprised, but his heart was not without warmth, so he patted his son's shoulder and said slowly: "Xian'er is very good!" Wrap, you're good too! Don't worry, Yang Fan has always been cautious, how could he put me in danger? ”

At this time, the feather arrows flew out of the sky, and the soldiers either raised their horse shields or hid in stirrups, but the impact speed like a rolling tide was not false at all, seeing that the feather arrow fell, many people were hit by the arrow, and Yao Chong's heart was raised in his throat.

If there are countless casualties in order to be true or to make Bixia Longyan happy, it will be a tragedy, as soon as he saw the real knives and guns on both sides and even used arrows, he was already shocked by this, but it was in a hurry, and it was too late to reprimand Yang Fan.

At this time, the people on both sides who were hit by the feathered arrows, but those who were shot at the vital point, suddenly sat up straight, changed their sprint to slow down, and raised their weapons in their hands high, indicating that they would withdraw from the battle, but none of them really bled to death. Yao Chongdaqi, not only him, many people on the parade platform were surprised when they saw this scene.

Yang Fan explained: "The minister deliberately used a batch of headless arrows, the tip of the arrow has been pulled out, wrapped in the same weight of lead, and a soft cloth is tied outside, so it will not give the soldier's life, the soft cloth is also soaked in paint, and the person who was shot has color spots on the body, he must withdraw from the battle by himself, if there is a cheater, the whole army will lose, so no one dares to disobey." ”

Everyone suddenly realized, Wu Yizong said secretly: "In order to please my aunt." He's really worked hard, he can think of this kind of way! ”

Yao Chong was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly thought: "The lead block is soft, and the outside is wrapped in a soft cloth, which will not hurt people's lives, but it can greatly improve the actual combat effect of the exercise, especially for the new army, its role is greater, and with this kind of experience in the exercise close to actual combat, the recruits will not be too panicked after they go into battle, so that many more people will die."

Well. This method is really good, but it can be greatly promoted in the army, but I don't know how much it costs to make these headless arrows, and whether the arrows can be reused, if it costs a lot. Then it can only be used when the emperor reads it, and it is never feasible in normal times. ”

Only then did Yang Fan say that the mystery was solved. Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to know. Therefore, the filial piety performance of King Luling and Li Bao'er who stood up for their father and mother respectively is naturally a credit.

Yang Fan said again: "Weapons are naturally also used to make hands and feet, and they will not take the lives of the soldiers, but ...... Even with bare hands, it is inevitable that someone will get hurt in a fight, but this is inevitable. Soldiers can be trained. It should have been stricter, but how could it be a strong soldier if it weren't for that? ”

As he spoke, the two armies had officially clashed, and the Turks were accustomed to using the tactic of piercing and chiseling. The tactics adopted by the attacking Zhou army were also similar, at this time, if they did not give full play to the advantage of cavalry speed, they also tried to form a formation to defend themselves, and they were naturally not adopted by the warring sides on the school field.

In an instant, the two sides were divided by the other side's soldiers, and the soldiers did not see the generals, the generals did not see the soldiers, and the banners, drums and trumpets were all lost.

But even at this time, the cooperation and tacit understanding between the adjacent soldiers is also quite important, in the view of the high platform, the two sides are a chaotic melee, if you only focus on one position, keep an eye on a few people, you can soon find that in such a chaotic situation, thousands of knights are still fighting with the nearest comrades, vertical and horizontal conflicts, echoing each other, or advancing or retreating, like the same person.

Under such circumstances, a person who simply relies on personal force has no future, and will end up with no use except to plant a horse and become a piece of fertilizer under the grassland in the next spring. Discipline and coordination have always been the biggest fighting themes of an army, and this is what makes it different from a plate of loose sand.

At this moment, the two sides have fallen into a melee, there are no arrows in the air, Wu Zetian walked to the front to look at the battlefield, although it was a drill, but the soldiers on both sides rushed to run, raised their spears and halberds, brandished swords, roared, roared, and shouted, like a tiger out of the conflict, it was not at all obvious that it was just a simulated battle.

Yang Fan stood beside Wu Zetian and explained to her: "The desert is bitter and cold, and there are many brave and arrogant people. Our soldiers in the Central Plains are accustomed to farming, and for the Turks, riding and archery is their greatest ability to support their families.

If we want to fight such a formidable enemy, we must be closely organized, strictly trained, disciplined, and strengthened, and our ability to coordinate and cooperate, so as to make the most of our own strengths and avoid our own shortcomings. ”

Wu Zetian nodded again and again when he heard this, and his eyes gradually fixed on the two young generals among the thousand cavalry soldiers, these two people were different from most soldiers, they were wearing a bright light armor, and one painted the armor gold, and the other painted silver.

This gold and silver two young generals are all guns, thousands of troops and horses to fight back and forth, a gun in the hand like a dragon, all the way to kill the past, there is no three-in-one enemy, but all the enemies in front of the face, all have been picked off the horse, invincible, extraordinary martial arts.

Wu Zetian squinted his eyes, the more he looked, the more happy he became, and pointed to the two of them and said to Yang Fan: "Who are the two young generals wearing gold armor and silver armor, who are actually brave!" ”

Yang Fan smiled slightly and said, "Bixia, please look again, Bixia recognizes them." ”

Wu Zetian looked at it with great eyesight, but it was still far away, and the two young generals were constantly rushing and flashing in the army, and they couldn't see clearly, at this time, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly exclaimed: "Sage, Wan'er looks at the one wearing gold armor who seems to be Wulang, and the one wearing silver armor seems to be Liulang!" ”

"Really?"

Wu Zetian was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and hurriedly took two steps forward, put his hand on the canopy and looked at the school field, looking at the two figures, faintly really had a bit of the appearance of the pair of little lovers. At this time, everyone on the stage looked over, and then looked at the gold-armored generals and silver-armored generals, and sure enough, they were Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong.

Wu Zetian was full of smiles on her face, she didn't see the Zhang brothers appear until noon, and thought that the brothers didn't get up early, so they simply didn't come to the school, and they never thought that the two brothers were so attentive, in order to make her happy, in such a hot weather, they actually rushed to kill.

In fact, the two can ride horses, but in terms of martial arts, they will only have some fists and embroidered legs, and the two are good at singing and dancing, and the flower frame is very attractive. These two people, not so much that they know martial arts, but that they are good at dancing.

But then again, the kung fu that is really used to kill people is simple and practical with a knife and a gun, but in fact, it is really not good at all in the eyes of laymen, and what looks good is precisely this kind of flower fist embroidery leg that has no practical value.

The two pieces of Mingguang armor on their bodies are not real, they can't wear them, even if they are a full set of leather armor, although they can wear it, but they are tired and paralyzed after wielding a few knives and guns on the battlefield, Yang Fan tested with them several times during rehearsals, and finally chose a light paper armor.

Don't think that paper nails are made of paper and will break when you poke them. In fact, paper armor is also one of the official equipment of the Tang Army, paper armor is lightweight, flexible in texture, and the arrows are easy to penetrate, although it is still not as strong as leather armor and iron armor, and the protective effect in close combat is lower, but these two people are really used to perform, who dares to really greet them with knives and guns? Such a paper armor, the appearance is painted with gold and silver paint, painted with various patterns, and it is really dazzling and beautiful to wear.

Yao Chong stroked his beard and smiled, he was an expert, so he could naturally see that the combat power of this thousand cavalry was indeed superior to that of the Turkic cavalry, and Yang Fan did not cheat in this regard. As for the two brothers, Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong, they are clearly to please the empress. However, Yang Fan did this, taking into account both the insider and the layman, and the two were not delayed and harmless, so Yao Chong just laughed it off.

This simulated battle was destined to end with the victory of the Zhou army. It's just that the thousand cavalry elite soldiers are indeed stronger than the Turkic cavalry, and there is no need to cheat. This kind of role-playing simulated battle already made Wu Zetian full of interest, and the participation of Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong made Wu Zetian even more happy.

At the end of the mock battle, the two brothers Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong rode their horses to the parade platform, turned over and dismounted, quickly climbed the stone steps, and hugged their fists in front of Wu Zetian and said: "The last generals, Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong, have seen the emperor Bixia!" ”

Although the two brothers were acting, the weather was hot and they were doing the play seriously, and they were already sweating profusely. Wu Zetian usually saw the two of them dressed as literati, and often painted grease and powder, but at the moment, he was dressed in a military uniform, and it was a military uniform specially painted with gold and silver.

The more Wu Zetian looked at it, the more he loved it, and nodded again and again: "It's rare that Wulang Liulang is so attentive, adding a lot of color to my big reading, and I am very relieved." For the two of you to work so hard, add Wulang as the supervisor of Lintai, and add Liulang as the servant! ”

Zhang Yizhi and the others were secretly happy, sure enough, there was a reward, Zhang Yizhi had the intention to exchange his reward for the emperor's edict to fulfill his mother, but this matter was not good to say in front of these imperial relatives and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, they always had to return to the palace, and then pestered Wu Zetian, so they had to take a step forward and kneel on one knee with Zhang Changzong, and thank him for the seal.

Wu Zetian glanced at Yang Fan with a smile again, and said: "I watched the martial arts today, the thousands of cavalry soldiers are as fast as the wind, their Xu is like a forest, the invasion is like fire, the immobility is like a mountain, the order is prohibited, the military discipline is strict, I can't help but rejoice." I only hate my north and south two six armies and sixteen guards, not so elite soldiers, now add a thousand cavalry guards Yang Fan as a correction of the wind and non-disposal of the envoy, for me to control the forbidden army in Beijing! ”

Wu Yizong was taken aback in his heart, and blurted out: "Bixia, the minister thinks it's impossible!" (To be continued......)
