Chapter 512 Show off force

Before the alliance meeting was held, many people thought that they were no worse than the Tang army. If there was any difference, it was that they did not have a strong leader. Since their defeat, the Tang army was not far behind. They are allowed to communicate with each other, which is what they resent.

After the competition between the two sides ended today, they realized what was the difference between them and Datang. No matter in every aspect, they were already lagging behind. Even with a leader, they could not surpass Datang now.

"It's a rare time for all my colleagues to come here. I just take advantage of this opportunity today. I also want to show you our army of the Tang Dynasty and see what shortcomings they have. You can speak freely and accept it with an open mind."

After defeating the Turks, don't think it's over. Taking advantage of today's opportunity, Li Xiang wants everyone to see how much stronger our Tang Dynasty is than before. If you are still half-hearted, Don’t blame us for being rude to you in the future.

These tribal leaders also knew that Li Xiang wanted to show off his force, and they just wanted to see how powerful the Tang army was. So after Li Xiang finished speaking, these people stretched their necks and looked into the distance.

Soon someone felt the ground shaking slightly. This kind of vibration is almost invisible if you don't feel it carefully. But when you feel it, you will know that the cavalry in the distance is not far away from you. The grassland Everyone on the Internet knows that this kind of shock is very important to a tribe. If you feel it at the beginning, then your tribe can still be saved, but if it passes that hour or three, your tribe will be in trouble. Just be slaughtered by others.

Although they all belong to the Turks, there is no harmony among the tribes. Just like on the Tuyuhun grassland, due to the issue of water and grass grazing, there are constant fights between the tribes. However, they still obey the orders of the Turkic Khan, so in Under the suppression of Turkic Han, the conflicts between the tribes were not great, and they could still get along with each other.

Moreover, for the Turkic Khan, fighting between tribes is also good for him. Each tribe can train its own warriors and slowly grow up in such battles. The Turks pay attention to natural selection and believe that only The soldiers left behind through the battle are the best soldiers on the grassland.

These people who came today are all the best soldiers. When they felt the slight vibration, they were not surprised. It was normal for the Tang Dynasty to have a powerful cavalry, but something that surprised them happened in a few seconds. Later, in their minds, after this slight shock, it would take two or three minutes for the cavalry to arrive. Who knew that less than a minute had passed, and the cavalry in the distance had already arrived.

It is very normal for the infantry to advance in a neat queue, and there is nothing to show off. Now there are many infantry phalanxes, with shield soldiers in the front row, spear soldiers in the back, and archers in the back.

But if you train the cavalry into a square formation, the difficulty will increase more than ten times. The most important thing is that the war horses are animals. Although the war horses are spiritual, you want to train the war horses to be like people. It cannot be achieved, it is just that such cases are rare.

At this moment, a cavalry square of 5,000 people came over. This cavalry square was arranged neatly, almost as if it were one person from beginning to end.

The Turks can't be quiet now. In their legends, it seems that their ancestors once had such an army. As long as they have such an army, they will be able to command it easily, no matter what the enemy in front of you is. This kind of cavalry formation can be defeated by any kind of cavalry formation. This is because such a formation has a unified command and can exert its strength in one place, which is extremely rare on the battlefield.

But now they feel a little sad. They should feel happy when they see the legendary cavalry. But at this moment, this cavalry belongs to the Tang Dynasty, which has nothing to do with them. If this cavalry appears in the Turks In a certain tribe, it means that there is hope for their rise.

But now that they appeared in the cavalry team of the Tang Dynasty, many people closed their eyes helplessly. They knew that in the past few decades, there would be no more freedom in the entire Turkic grassland, no matter what they wanted to do Such things must be done with the consent of the Tang Dynasty.

"You are all experts in training cavalry. Do you have any opinions on my cavalry? I also want to train them well so that they can better serve the Tang Dynasty in the future. If you have any opinions, please feel free to say them. Come out, and if you accept it, I will exempt you from paying tribute for a year."

Li Xiang said this deliberately to let everyone take a good look at the cavalry. Everyone didn't know how to answer Li Xiang. When they looked at Li Xiang, they couldn't help but avoid Li Xiang's eyes. It was a look with aggression, and the Turkic grassland could not resist this person.

"Your Highness is a thousand years old."

These people didn't know how to answer Li Xiang, so they could only kneel in front of Li Xiang and then answer Li Xiang in this way.

"Everyone, get up. There will be many opportunities for you to point them out in the future. I am planning to set up three cavalry battalions on the Turkic steppes. Each cavalry battalion has 5,000 people. All of them will be such cavalry. Let them work with you to protect The safety of the Turkic steppe will prevent anything like Xue Yantuo’s invasion from happening in the future.”

Li Xiang said casually, but these words made the people around him feel cold. Fifteen thousand cavalry was not a big number for them. In the past, some large tribes could mobilize them, but after After this war, there were not many tribes that could mobilize 3,000 cavalry. The Tang Dynasty left 15,000 cavalry here, which meant that whatever they did in the future, they would have to rely on these 15,000 cavalry. done under surveillance.

In addition, there is another fatal thing. Although the Tang Dynasty stipulated the amount of tribute for them, in the past, there were always some people who were short of money. Anyway, they could not send troops to quarrel over this trivial matter. He So these people are used to it, but if there are these three cavalry battalions, I'm afraid some things will be difficult to say. If you don't have enough cattle and sheep today, people will come on horseback to get it yourself tomorrow.
