Three days later.祾
Camp outside Baishi Town.
Because the Lu family led troops to occupy this place, and because of the exchange of territories between the Wu State and the Lu family, they had a good relationship.
Therefore, the garrison here has been expanded twice.
The military camp that originally could only accommodate three to five hundred people has long been transformed into a military stronghold that can accommodate thousands of people. Not only does the military stronghold have an extremely wide martial arts field, but it also has a two-foot-tall high and a hundred-foot-square radius built with large wood. The grand viewing platform.
In addition to the Lu family's residence, Baishi Town has been demolished to the ground. Except for the Lu family's servants and subordinates, other townspeople have moved away one after another. In the future, a gorgeous palace will be built here as the Lu family's official residence in Wu Kingdom. the foothold.
Wearing heavy armor, Qiu Tong stood on the viewing platform with her head held high, her phoenix eyes full of power, looking at the five thousand elites arrayed below the platform, scanning the top dignitaries around her with the corner of her eyes, and couldn't help but feel her heart surge.
Who would have thought that the little girl who was alone, her parents died, and had to be sold into slavery would be here today!祾
What I am today is all because of the young master - it is a pity that my physical fitness is still a little bit poor, so I cannot give birth to a son and a half daughters for the young master, which is somewhat regretful.
Thinking of Lu Wu, Qiu Tong's sharp hawk-like eyes softened, and the corners of his mouth first turned up slightly, and then turned down - the young master is good at everything, but he is too lazy and impatient to deal with others, even for receiving envoys from various countries. You should also push things on yourself.
Next to Qiu Tong, six or seven feet away, stood Wu King Ke Tu - mainly because Qiu Tong was too tall. If they stood side by side, Ke Tu's height would only reach Qiu Tong's shoulders, which would lose his royal demeanor. I have to keep some distance.
On both sides of Qiutong and King Wu Ketu, envoys from Yan, Lu, Han, Qi, Chu, Wei, Yue, Song, Zhao, Zhu, Teng and other countries stood respectively according to the title of the country's leader, the strength of the country, and the envoy's own title. ——This positioning arrangement is also very particular. If you don't do it right, it will be rude.
If it weren't for the Wu court sending people to help manage it, Qiutong and the Lu family's Caotai team would really not be able to figure out the secret.
The array of five thousand elites in the audience was astonishing, but most of these people's attention was not on the audience, but on the legendary Yuan Fei who was born as a maid.
(The king’s principal wife is named Yuan Fei.)
I saw Qiutong wearing a corseted red heavy armor. This armor was composed of pieces of red armor like fire feathers. It was thick and tough, weighing more than sixty kilograms. However, because of its unique shape, it looked like a Light and nimble feel.
Especially on the shoulders, the two flying-wing-like shoulder armors are raised high, like the spread wings of a phoenix, especially showing off Qiutong's beautiful figure with wide shoulders and thin waist.
Behind the armor, there is a white cloak, starting from the shoulder armor and hanging down behind him like a waterfall.
On the cloak, a phoenix soaring in the clouds was embroidered with gold thread.
This armor has a name called "Red Phoenix". It was personally ordered by the Empress Dowager Mingji of the Kingdom of Wu to make it, and it was tailor-made for Qiu Tong.
With this bright and flamboyant dress, coupled with Qiutong's tall figure of over nine feet, she stood on the stage looking at Zixiong with high spirits, as powerful and beautiful as a proud phoenix.
Even the Chu State envoy Xiang Guo, who had a sworn feud with Lu Wu, wanted to praise him for his "good demeanor". How could he see the slightest hint of humiliation caused by his low birth status?祾
"I heard that this girl was born as a maid in a merchant's family. How could she be so charming?" The envoy of the Wei Kingdom was a little doubtful.
In this world, there are not many educated people, and even fewer people have true personal style.
"Hush, be quiet. This Yuan Fei's martial arts achievements are astonishing. Don't let me hear this. It's disrespectful." The envoy from the Fuji Kingdom stopped him in a low voice.
Tengguo and Weiguo are both small countries. Although they are far away from Luguo and Emperor Tiangao, it is impossible to hold him accountable for this matter, but it is always good to be cautious.
"This Concubine Yuan can kill generals and capture flags when she mounts her horse, and she can govern the military and government when she dismounts. She is indeed a hero among women. As for her humble background, it depends on who follows her," said the envoy from Zhu State.
The leader of Zhu State was a minister who raised horses for the leader of Qi State. He made great contributions to the survival of Qi State and was granted the title of Bo and established the country.
"That's right. We are all uncles, so we should have a good life and make good friends."
While several people were still talking, the three-way drum sounded and flags were waved, but it was time to check the military formations and show off their military appearance.
Five thousand men and horses were divided into ten camps, and marched around the field first, following the flags and beating the drums.
Military drills are no better than individual martial arts exercises. Martial skills are not the focus. What is really important is the orderly march of the military, the execution of orders and prohibitions, and the speed of formation changes.
"Hang, hic, huh——"
A battalion of soldiers marched at the front. Their footsteps caused the armor to vibrate, making a uniform sonorous sound. The heavy footsteps rose and fell at the same time. The entire queue was like a mountain moving around, towering and unshakable.
After the soldiers, there are the cavalry.
This is a team of light cavalry, also five hundred people.祾
The cavalry on horseback, wearing half leather armor, carrying short bows, carrying scimitars, and carrying long spears, were ten in a row, fifty rows in total, with each row five feet apart, in a dancing formation, and walked under the viewing platform without squinting.
"It's just that the armor is bright and well-trained. How can the horses be so obedient? Could it be that such elites are also descended from the south?" Xiang Tong, the Chu envoy, asked in a low voice in disbelief.
"Sir, I don't know. I only heard that most of Lu Bo's generals were from the south of our country of Chu. These people must be the same. I'll find out if I ask you later." Behind Xiang Tong, the think tank Guo Chi looked over and lowered his head. Sound reply.
Guo Chi has good eyesight and has already seen that most of the cavalry in the audience are from the five races in the southern part of the Chu State. Because of the water, soil and food, the appearance of people in different places is actually slightly different. But now people in Taiwan He couldn't say it directly, lest he make his benefactor even more angry.
However, he was indeed surprised.
The people in front walked neatly, and it could be said that they were well-trained. Even though this beast, this horse, is humane, it is not a human after all. How can it be trained to be so obedient?
As they marched, the horses' hooves all rose and fell in unison - it was nothing short of a miracle.祾
After the array of soldiers and cavalry, there are arrays of archers, crossbowmen, spears, heavy shields, swords, battle axes, etc.
[In view of the general environment,
Teams of people marched, all with strict lineups and strict orders. What was especially valuable was that the entire tenth battalion of people passed by one by one and stood in formation for half an hour. Except for the war drums and flags used for command, Outside, the thousands of soldiers and horses in the audience did not even whisper to each other.
This kind of discipline, let alone combat effectiveness, just the execution of such orders and prohibitions is the foundation of an elite.
With such discipline, the general can command with ease, and there will never be a situation where the troops below are not ready after issuing an order for a long time.
The so-called general's ability to use troops like a god is based on the troops who follow orders and prohibitions - otherwise, even if the general is a great military strategist and has great wisdom, if he commands a group of rabble who are asked to beat dogs or chase chickens, he will not be able to use his abilities at all. come out.
As long as this kind of army sees blood, it will be a magic weapon. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an important weapon of the country.
