Chapter 229 proceed
After the Jinyiwei guard flag phalanx passed, Yang Song’s pro-army came immediately: the original imperial guard, and now the Yulin army phalanx.
The same is the size of a company, a row of 20 people, a total of fifteen rows, plus the two leading officers, a total of 302 people. Since then, the infantry phalanx is basically of this size.
The phalanx of the Yulin Army marched to the front of the Vermillion Bird with the same tidy and powerful steps. Following the lead officer, Zhou Wu gave an order: “Hulin Army, salute!”
“Yulin army, see your majesty!”
The entire phalanx of the Yulin army was wearing a standard armor, and in his hands was a flintlock musket with a bayonet. Under Zhou Wu’s order, they moved forward together while looking straight to the right to show that they were facing Yang. Loyalty to Xia Guo.
To say that the most special place of the Habayashi army is the long, upright white feather on each soldier’s helmet, which is in sharp contrast with the black military uniform and armor on his body. Looking from a distance, It’s like a feather forest fluttering in the wind.
The military parade continues…
After the phalanx of the Habayashi army, the first infantry division, the second infantry division, the third mountain division, and the fourth heavy equipment division sent the infantry phalanx in order.
The leaders of these four divisions are all the current division chiefs and chiefs of staff.
First division commander Qi Jiguang, chief of staff Lu Su; second division commander Di Qing, chief of staff Liu Qi; third division commander Zhang Wei, chief of staff Sun Chengzong, fourth division commander Huo Qubing, chief of staff Wu Yi.
They used to be dressed in gorgeous court clothes and followed Yang Song to the Temple of Heaven and Earth to perform sacrifices. Now they are dressed in uniforms and marched forward.
As the military parade proceeded and the army’s phalanx marched forward with power, whether it was Yang Song, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, or the other hundred civil and military officials who watched, there was indescribable blood, pride, Excited.
The most exciting thing belongs to the ordinary people watching the military parade on both sides of the main road. Seeing such a powerful army, some young people can’t wait for them to be in it, to the emperor they admire, and to let them live and work in peace and prosperity, prosperous and strong. The Great Xia Empire of Great Xia gave their blood and their loyalty.
And on the city wall next to the gate tower, the tearful faces of the martyrs’ families standing beside the military fighters have told them that they have no regrets. Husbands, fathers, and sons who died for the country are equally regretless!
On the other side of the city wall, representatives from all walks of life, honorary officials, and common people are also very excited; looking at the mighty army under the city, and then at the medals and medals on their chests, while being proud, they are more encouraging. They secretly decided to make themselves worthy of this honor!
…
After the four main divisions of the Xia Kingdom have passed, they will be the navy’s sailor phalanx and the Marine Corps’ phalanx.
The uniform of the navy’s sailor phalanx is completely different from that of the army. It is pure white without armor, but in exchange for an inflatable life vest with the same standard musket in his hand.
The Marine Corps’ military formation is equally eye-catching. Its light blue uniform is unique, even if the equipment on its body is a bit incomprehensible: besides the breastplate, there is an inflatable life vest. It makes people feel cumbersome.
However, after seeing that the Marine Corps soldiers are all tall and burly men, two comparisons show that their outfits and their statures are still somewhat strangely commensurate.
After the main force of the sea and land had passed, a company of the city guard led by Yan Ren immediately followed.
Although the city guard army has become a local security army after the military reform, and no longer participates in foreign wars, anyway, the city guard army is also part of the Xia State military system.
Following the city guard is the newly formed reinforcement army, its full name is: Logistics Support and Support Construction Army, abbreviated as: Reinforcement Army.
According to the plan, this rear reinforcement was only the size of a standard infantry regiment, but in practice it was found that some troops were insufficient, and then it was expanded to the size of a reinforced regiment with 16,000 men.
The second to last phalanx of the infantry phalanx is the military academy phalanx composed of the Army and the Naval Academy. It was led by Bao Jie from the Department of Political Science and Law, indicating that the academy’s students thought about Xia Guo and Yang Song from the beginning. In order to have unlimited loyalty.
The last phalanx of the infantry phalanx is a phalanx composed of militias. Although the militias are only a conscripted reserve, in all the wars of the Xia State for so many years, even in peacetime, militias are indispensable. The militia phalanx was led by Yang Xin from the Military Hall.
All the infantry phalanxes have passed, and then the highlight of the military parade, the cavalry and artillery phalanx will arrive one after the other!
The cavalry phalanx was formed by selecting half of them from the Yulin Army and the Fourth Heavy Equipment Division, and was led by Li Jing, who was riding a war horse.
Although the cavalry is no longer brilliant, it is an indispensable and important force in the army. Whether it is field battles, mobile reconnaissance, and border patrols, the cavalry is indispensable.
Because of the peculiarities of the cavalry phalanx, this parade has a total of 600 horses, and it is completely different from the way the infantry phalanx passes through the Suzaku Gate.
There was no slogan, no salute, but the whole array of six hundred riders led by Li Jing drew out their swords, whizzed and charged past the gate tower.
There are only six hundred men and horses charging, but in the eyes of the onlookers, it looks like there are thousands of horses. The power and momentum of its horses galloping neatly makes the whole earth seem to be trembling.
The cavalry is offering their loyalty to Yang Song and the people of Xia in their way! Use silent actions to show their fearless confidence!
With the charge of the cavalry phalanx, the infantry phalanx walking in front had already given way to a passage for the cavalry to pass, otherwise the infantry phalanx ahead would be dangerous.
After the cavalry roared past, before the people who watched the ceremony came back to their senses, a silent power suddenly made everyone present quietly shut off the uncontrollable exclamation that had just passed by the cavalry roaring.
The earth was trembling, groaning, creaking creaking A loud, low and powerful voice came from the east, which made people worry about whether the ground was strong enough to bear.
After hearing the reputation, I saw a group of horses carrying rough air, pulling something forcefully, but the thing they were pulling was covered with a layer of black cloth, which made people unable to see clearly, but it was also known from the momentum. The weight of these things must not be light.
When this phalanx arrived in front of the city gate one second, following the equipment hall where the horse was riding in front of the phalanx, Zhuang Wei gave an order: “Exposure! Artillery phalanx, salute!”
The soldiers who followed lifted the black cloth on the artillery together, revealing the thick and dark body tube hidden under it, which makes people know that this is a big killer at first sight!
It turned out to be the artillery artillery, the world-famous artifact of Xia’s army! At this time, he officially showed his face in a place so close to the common people!
Twelve large siege artillery lined up in the front, and sixteen slightly smaller field artillery lines were also lined up in two rows immediately behind.
It can be said that if it were not for this military parade, it would be difficult for ordinary people, even many officials in Beijing, to see the respect of the artillery.
Because of the peculiarities of this world, the guns are okay. Because they are standard equipment, they can’t hide them even if they want to hide. So ordinary people still have a chance to see them, but the more important guns are strictly hidden by Xia Guo.
Even in the barracks, as long as it is not a specific unit, ordinary musket infantry can’t touch the artillery.
Therefore, for many people in Xia Country, this was the first time to see these legendary weapons, and they were still watching them so close.
In this way, Yang Song can be regarded as fulfilling the expectations of the general public, and it can be regarded as fulfilling what he said before “to have fun with the people”!
