Great Song Pirate

Chapter 697 The Grand Parade

After the sound of cannons, a cloud of flames and smoke rose from the city wall. For many people who saw artillery for the first time, this kind of firearm was enough to bring them an incomparable shock.

Wu Min was a civil servant, and when he was caught off guard, the sound of the cannon sounded like rolling thunder, as if it had landed on his head, and he was almost frightened and sat on the ground on the spot. If he helped him, there was no guarantee that this old guy Wu Min would really be stuck on the tower.

Pu Yinjian next to him was also taken aback. He had fought against Xu Yi before, but at that time, the Dulong Island navy led by Xu Yi still used ballistas, which was far less shocking than when this kind of artillery fired. Like that kind of ballista, he was already shocked, not to mention this kind of artillery!So Pu Yinjian was even more shocked, and he felt sincerely gratified that he was able to kill Li Ziqian and get back together with the Fubo army. Otherwise, if the Fubo army was really impatient, they would give up Liaodong and deal with them with all their strength. If it is a country, then their Koryo country is really in danger of subjugation and extinction.

What Xu Yi wants is this kind of effect. He wants to let these people see the power of the artillery that the Fubo Army relies on, let them weigh their own weight, and tell them that if they offend him, his artillery can They are not vegetarians. Once this thing is fired, it is not something that anyone can stop with the body.

After the sound of the artillery, a row of trumpeters stepped forward, raised their trombones, and blew them into the air at the same time.

The long and low sound of the trumpet rolled between the sky and the earth, hitting people's eardrums, and then the more than a hundred battle drums lined up on the city wall were also rumbled by those strong shirtless drummers. The huge drums sounded like It's like hitting everyone's hearts, and it makes people feel excited.

At this time, there was a sound of rumbling horseshoes from the east, and a phalanx of heavy cavalry consisting of 500 men, led by Xiao Jianfeng himself, came slowly in a neat formation. Holding a heavy iron gun in their hands, like a forest of guns made of steel, they came rumbling to the beat of drums.

Every heavy cavalry is tightly wrapped in thick iron armor. The appearance of this kind of heavy cavalry immediately shocked Wu Min and others. He didn't know how powerful the artillery was, but he knew that This kind of heavy cavalry, even if he is an idiot, he knows how powerful it is. In this era, when various military branches encounter this kind of heavy cavalry phalanx, there is basically no effective way to resist it. I am afraid that only those heavy infantry wearing infantry armor in the elite army before the Song Dynasty can fight against such heavy cavalry, but now it can be said that there are not many heavy infantry in the Song Dynasty. However, if he encounters such a heavy cavalry attack, Wu Min really can't think of any way to stop this terrible unit.

And the soldiers of the Song army who followed Wu Min saw such heavy cavalry, all of them were shocked, and they also showed a kind of strong envy. The Song Dynasty really lacked such things as war horses. Yes, but how long has it been since the Fubo army has just grown!To have formed such a powerful heavy cavalry, as long as you are a soldier, you will feel envious!But if they were to face such an Iron Buddha, they had to ask themselves, no one really had the courage.

Xiao Jianfeng's Iron Buddha didn't show their combat moves too much, but with the power of this iron stream, it was enough to make the world terrified. When they passed the gate, led by Xiao Jianfeng, they raised their guns at the same time, He shouted loudly: "Long live the Jinghai Kingdom! Long live the lord!"

Their voices immediately rolled over and reached the ears of the spectators standing in the middle of the tower. Xu Yi smiled and clenched his fists, punching the deck on his chest in response.

Then came a cavalry, but this cavalry was a thousand-man light cavalry led by Li Bin. Although they were not as powerful as the heavy cavalry, their mobility was far greater than that of the heavy cavalry. They surpassed those heavy cavalry, and these cavalry were also very well equipped. Each of them had a pair of light armor to protect their vital parts, each of them had a long spear, a round shield, a sword hanging from his waist, and a horn bow immediately. Two pots of arrows, three shiny javelins sticking out of the back, almost armed to the teeth, all of them looked very majestic and majestic, and no one dared to underestimate them.

And when the 1000 cavalrymen appeared, they began to jog on horseback, and then accelerated line by line, widening the distance between each other, and erected many arrow stacks roughly in front of the city gate. First of all, they showed their superb riding skills on horseback, flipping and jumping, kicking and hiding, etc., which showed their riding skills to the fullest. What's more valuable is that when each row left the team, they all did the same action. Although the horses are running, their movements are still uniform and not chaotic at all. It is really not easy to do this.

After they finished their riding demonstration, they all got on their horses quickly, took out their horn bows from their horses, drew their bows and set their arrows, rode their horses quickly towards those arrow stacks, and then released their arrows at the same time. These arrows basically had no Those who failed, all hit the arrow stack accurately.

This made many people on the tower gasp again, riding and shooting!This kind of combat technique is a cavalry tactic that the standard golden men are good at using. It is not easy to practice. If the personal quality of each player is accurate and the shooting skills are accurate, then it is really terrible!If the general infantry encounters them, even an infantry of 5000 people will not worry about shooting them back and forth before they will completely collapse, and the rest is waiting for them to slaughter.

But before they were completely amazed, these cavalrymen had another new movement. After shooting their arrows, they were already closer to the arrow stacks. They didn't even hang up their horn bows, and they all drew out a javelin behind them. , Throwing pens vigorously towards those arrow stacks, under the acceleration of their arms and horses, the javelins were full of power, and fell on the arrow stacks one after another, and the thick arrow stacks were pierced by these javelins one after another.

The faces of the officers of the Song army standing next to Wu Min watching the ceremony changed even more. With such continuous long-distance attacks, even the heavy infantry seemed very vulnerable under such javelin attacks. However, these light cavalry, even if they encounter heavy infantry, can rely on this javelin tactic to defeat the heavy infantry.

There were only a few waves of this kind of demonstration. Considering the limited time, when the cavalrymen behind passed the gate, they only collectively demonstrated their riding and shooting skills, then passed through the gate of the tower, and then gathered into a neat square formation again, setting off a storm. A burst of dust rushed towards the west of the city.

Their performance immediately won the applause of the people watching the ceremony from the top and bottom of the city tower. Xu Yi once again clenched his fist at them and beat his breastplate.

At this time, Cuiyu gently wiped the sweat off Xu Yi's forehead with a sweat towel, and looked at Xu Yi worriedly. No matter what she looked at, Xu Yi's complexion seemed a little bad, and his smile seemed a little far-fetched.

Xu Yi noticed Cuiyu's gaze, turned his head to give her a smile, and looked down the city again.

The next team is the infantry, but when this 1000-strong infantry formation passed through the tower, the faces of Wu Min and other Song Dynasty officials became even worse, because what they saw was this An infantry army, each of them was wearing polished infantry armor, each holding a spear in his hand, and his left hand was a half-person-high square-bottomed large shield, although not as ostentatious as the Iron Buddha , but it appears unusually strong and thick.

The Fubo Army originally did not have this kind of heavy infantry, but after fighting the Jin Army for a long time, they took away a large number of armor from the Jin Army, among which there are many such infantry armor. , I knew that this was something that the Jin Army took from the Song Army when they were fighting the Song Dynasty, but now it was all handed over to the Fubo Army. With such a good thing, the generals of the Fubo Army naturally They will not discard them, they will be collected neatly immediately, and equipped with two heavy infantry.

Wu Min is not blind either, and suddenly felt as if he had been slapped on the face. These infantry armors were originally the equipment of the Song Army, but now they are cheap for the Fubo Army. No one will feel this matter on anyone. It’s better, but it can’t happen again. After all, it’s true that it was lost by the Song Dynasty, but it was snatched from the golden man. It’s better to know which one is lower. You don’t need to compare. It’s really an official of the Song Dynasty on his side. As long as they have a little self-esteem, they feel a little untenable on the top of the city.

Originally, this unintentional move by the Fubo army, in their eyes, seemed to have spit thick phlegm on each of their faces, which made them feel extremely embarrassed.

The next army is a group of infantry consisting entirely of long swordsmen. Each of these infantry is wearing the unique cloth bag armor of the Fubo Army. The pace of walking, the footsteps hit the ground heavily, and the distance between each row was kept at about three meters. When they passed the gate row by row, the vanguard of each row would shout "Chop!" !"

Immediately, all the people in a row swung their knives vigorously at the same time, and a row of long-handled big knives would fall down at the same time. With such a uniform movement, under the waving of the long knives, I really don't know what else can stand in front of them, in all directions. The people watching the ceremony once again burst into applause.

This army is the long-sword army of the third corps, formed by Li Bo, in order to have an infantry that can attack fortifications. After being equipped with long-swords, as long as this army goes into battle, it will be like an army after facing the enemy. The continuous meat grinder is like a non-stop death machine, and its power is very powerful. However, it is in the initial stage and has not been tested by the flames of war. Whether the specific power will be as they have shown remains to be seen.

However, Xu Yi is very optimistic about this army of long swords, and he paid special attention to it. He ordered the Artisan Battalion to make the long swords they needed. Looking at it today, it is really good, so Xu Yi smiled again and beat hard. He touched his breastplate, expressing his satisfaction with this long-sword army.

Then came an army of crossbowmen. Everyone in the first half held a standard three-arrow crossbow with a shoulder rest for the Fubo army. Each crossbow was stringed and loaded with arrows. After leaving the city, following the officer's order, they immediately fired in the direction of the arrow stacks in rows, forming a continuous rain of arrows, which made people startled, followed by the bows and arrows behind them. They stepped forward and continued to shoot. When they passed the gate, they looked at the arrow stack, which was already like a huge blooming dandelion, filled with carved feather arrows with white tail feathers.

So the crossbowmen also received a lot of applause.

Next, there is the phalanx of pikemen, the phalanx of swords and shields, and the phalanx of mules and horses... It lasted for half a day, and during this half day, Xu Yi stood as straight as a javelin, inspecting Looking at this soldier of his own, the pride in his chest was really hard to contain, and he couldn't even feel the pain in his ribs.

This kind of inspection was proposed by Xu Yi. The first is to demonstrate the military power of their Jinghai Kingdom and let the world see that although the Fubo Army started as a pirate, it is by no means the kind of mob they imagined, but a group of people. No one should underestimate the Jinghai Kingdom, an iron army tempered by blood and fire!The second is to let the people see the army of the Jinghai Kingdom, so that they have more trust in themselves and feel more at ease. With the protection of such a large army, they no longer need to be afraid of the army of the Jin Kingdom.

Although the preparation was hasty, these reference soldiers are all soldiers who have been tested in actual combat. They are people who have licked blood. After receiving the order this time, these people quickly carried out special drills and quickly met the requirements.

This army of soldiers and horses is different from the soldiers and horses specially used to put on airs. They are all people who have gone through great battles. The team is a little not very neat, but the pressure on people is very high, and it is by no means comparable to the kind of flower spear soldiers who have never been on the battlefield.

There are also several arms worth mentioning. One is the artillery in front of the convoy. Dozens of various artillery pieces are drawn by mules and horses. The gunners stand solemnly on the trailer, looking up at the top of the tower, collectively Xu Yi shouted Long live Lei Gong!This made Xu Yi a little dumbfounded. These guys must have listened to the instigation of Liu Da, the chief of the artillery, so they shouted. Otherwise, they should have shouted Long Live Jinghai, but they didn’t expect them to shout Long live Lei Gong, this is clearly a tribute to him alone, Xu Yi can only accept their favor and return a standard chest-stroking military salute.

Then there is a navy phalanx composed entirely of Sun Hai's navy. According to Xu Yi's proposal, this navy phalanx was all changed into snow-white clothes. Bright and dazzling, for the navy, Xu Yi has the deepest affection. The Fubo army started on the sea, and the navy is their foundation. Although the founding of the country today, the navy can only use this form to participate in the reception Yue, I felt a little wronged by them, Xu Yi specially gave them a military salute when they passed by, and shouted: "Long live the Fubo navy." After hearing this, the brothers in the navy almost shed tears When they got down, they shouted in unison, long live the lord!
Under Xu Yi's loud shout, the sailors who have been supporting the army in Liaodong in obscurity for more than a year suddenly felt that everything was worth it. In this way, expressing gratitude, the leader Sun Hai also burst into tears, and almost choked up.

After hearing Xu Yi's shout, everyone shouted along with Xu Yi, and the voice of Fubo Navy's Long Live echoed in the sky of Dading Mansion for a long time.

In fact, it is not only Xu Yi who has special feelings for the navy. Many generals in the Fubo Army are from the navy. Later, because of the progress of the war, they were transferred to the infantry. In the days of vertical and horizontal, I am extremely looking forward to it in my heart, hoping that one day I can go out to sea by boat, and together with Xu Yi, I am happy to roam the sea.

There is also a strange unit with a large wooden box on its back. The people in the Fubo Army can easily recognize this phalanx at a glance. Everyone in this phalanx is carrying a launch box for white tigers running arrows, although the number is not as large as that of other units. , so majestic, but no one dares to underestimate them, because once they are set off at the same time, even if they face an enemy attack ten times their size, they will not worry about being unable to kill them.

Behind them, there are some soldiers, instead of carrying these swarms of rocket hives, each of them carried a black guy with thick arms and tail fins. Anyone who understands can see that this is the unique style of the Fubo army. Hidden weapon rockets, but their appearance confuses those who have never seen these guys. They don’t know what kind of powerful stuff this is. But they all laughed and didn't answer, which made them very depressed, but they also knew that Fubo Army would never do anything boring, and these things must be their very powerful stuff, so they made up their minds and must find out What's this.

The most shocking thing is Zhizhipeng, the war elephant phalanx composed of Zhan people. When Zhizhipeng led this war elephant army and appeared in the eyes of everyone, many people were numb at that time, and they didn't care at all. I know what it is, and each war elephant is covered with thick leather armor, with gaudy patterns painted on it, making these war elephants look extremely hideous, and there are also those light ballistas and heavy guns on the back of the elephants. The Armored Elephant Soldier makes people dizzy at first glance, and they don't know how to deal with this terrifying monster.

Even this time, the craftsmen even ingeniously installed a special elephant on the backs of several tall elephants, with a small blast cannon installed on it, which raised the combat effectiveness of the elephants to another level. It has become a living tank, endowed with the mobility of the artillery. This is also an idea that Xu Yi proposed to them before. This makes the artillery and mobility perfectly combined. If they go into battle, it is estimated that any army will encounter them. They will all be beaten to pieces.

Originally, Xu Yi didn't intend to let the elephant soldiers come out to be reviewed, but under the strong request of Zhipeng, considering that the elephant soldiers are now an important assault force for them, and they have made great military exploits for the Fubo Army many times, If they were not allowed to participate in the parade, it would be somewhat unfair to these occupying soldiers, so it was finally decided to let the elephant soldiers participate in the parade.

Xu Yi knew very well that all soldiers who could participate in this parade would have a sincere sense of belonging to the Jinghai Kingdom, which would be of great benefit to enhancing their loyalty. After the soldiers received the thunderous cheers, their chests stood tall, their sense of pride came from their hearts, and their sense of belonging to Jinghai Kingdom became stronger.

After the appearance of such an elephant army, the effect produced even surpassed the effect of the first heavy cavalry to be reviewed. After all, war elephants are too much larger than horses in size, and inexperienced people simply don't know how to deal with them. These ferocious war elephants, so when Wu Min saw this place, his hands and feet were already frightened.

When he came, he knew that although Zhao Xu ordered Xu Yi to be canonized and agreed with them to establish a country on the surface, in fact Zhao Xu had already exploded with anger. After defeating the Kingdom of Jin, he wanted to wipe out Xu Yi's Jinghai Kingdom with his army, but today when Wu Min saw Xu Yi's army, he was already terrified, and now he only had one thought, to go back quickly, Report the horror of the Fubo Army to Zhao Xu and learn that if Zhao Xu does anything stupid again, it's just that Xu Yi didn't investigate the matter of him sending people to ambush him last time. Don't provoke Xu Yi again. Otherwise, if Xu Yi is annoyed after Jin Guo's defeat, if he turns around and fights with Da Song, he might be able to really destroy Da Song.

Anyway, Wu Min decided that in front of Xu Yi's army, Song Jun could only be regarded as a mob. If they could beat Jin Jun to such a mess, let alone Song Jun on his own side. It will be able to stage another live drama of soldiers approaching the city of Bianliang.

The military parade finally came to an end after the elephant army passed through the city gate, and Ma Zhe, the master of ceremonies, announced the end, and the results naturally made them extremely satisfied.

In short, the kisses were jubilant, and the enemies were ashamed. This kind of military parade immediately pushed the atmosphere of the grand ceremony to its climax. Almost all the people shouted hoarsely. someone here.

This time, these ordinary people have seen the power of the Fubo Army, and finally put their hearts in their stomachs. The Jin Army and the others have seen it before, but compared with the combat power displayed by the Fubo Army today, it is impossible to see it. !I am afraid that they are a bird, so I will follow Xu Yi, the king of Jinghai Kingdom, in the future. With them, who else in the world can bully me again!

(Looks like it’s still not popular enough! After all, I fell out of the top [-] monthly tickets! If that’s the case, I don’t ask everyone to give monthly tickets! How about a reward? Hehe! Pimple’s skin is getting thicker and thicker! Hehe !)
