Chapter 471: Military Parade
Within a quarter of an hour, Emperor Cheng Yuan X appeared on the school grounds under the protection of his guards.
The young emperor was in high spirits, and it seemed that he was neither carried away by the results of today's competition, nor did he pay too much attention to Gao Debang and his party because of this, and was calm and self-controlled, except for the happy look on his face, Gao Debang couldn't see anything.
Secretly admired, it is no wonder that Cheng Yuanguo is said to have a rich heritage, such a mentality and qualifications can be regarded as the royal blood passed down from the ancestors, and he is naturally quiet.
Gao Debang is a courtesy, no matter what, this is also the king of a country, Gao Debang will not be arrogant and will tear his face now, which is not good for his side.
Emperor Chengyuan X waved his hand and let Gao Debang get up kindly.
"Lord Gao, I am also bored today, it just so happens that my army has some novel weapons, I have nothing to do, so I specially invited Lord Gao to watch the excitement together, and also give some advice, after all, Lord Gao is well-informed, and he has traveled everywhere in various countries, and his knowledge is extraordinary. ”
Gao Debang immediately bowed down and responded: "Then it is better to obey the order than to be respectful, and to obey the decree of His Majesty the Emperor." ”
Emperor Cheng Yuanguo smiled, "Lord Gao, you're welcome, sit down!"
The emperor of Chengyuan sat down, and several important ministers of Chengyuan sat on his left hand, Prime Minister Li Xiangguo, Shoufu Wei Shoufu, General Li Xuanzhao, and Han Yu, the squire of the Ministry of War, Zuo Zaichen, and Gao Debang on the right hand.
Behind Gao Debang stood two guards.
I saw that there were no neatly lined troops in the school yard, and everything seemed to be as usual.
Suddenly, two figures, tall and short, walked over at the entrance, and Gao Debang stared.
It is King Li Nan and King Guyang who recognize it so accurately, thanks to these two good deeds who have repeatedly sabotaged themselves, and they are also the objects of concern that Gao Debang is preparing to focus on in tonight's letter, once the Eight-Nation Alliance forces come in! These two people are bound to be taken, and Gao Debang wants to see if these two people are loyal and patriotic to the point of disregarding their lives.
If these two people go around as envoys in the Eight Nations Legation Corps, such an outcome is more comfortable than killing them.
Think about it, the prince of Chengyuan Kingdom became a lackey of the envoys of the Eight Kingdoms, fought everywhere for the Eight Kingdoms, and was spurned and scolded by the people, which is the greatest torture and humiliation.
What is terrible is to be a minister of the country.
Gao Debang smiled.
Jian Mingyue and Gu Sheng walked in front of the Emperor of Chengyuan Kingdom, knelt down and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, you are ready, waiting for Your Majesty's will. ”
As soon as the competition was over, they rushed over by car to prepare.
Actually, I arrived at the school much earlier than the others.
Before today's competition, Gu Sheng and Jian Mingyue received a secret order, requesting that a military parade be held after the end.
It's not sudden, the two of them have been mentally prepared for a long time.
Emperor Cheng Yuanguo nodded, "Let's get even!
In fact, the emperor of Chengyuan Kingdom was also a little eager to see the army trained by Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng and Jian Mingyue nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Jian Mingyue gestured to Yang Xiu not far away.
Someone walked outside the school yard to make arrangements.
The school grounds are large enough to hold large-scale hunting competitions, not to mention military exercises.
In the distance of the school field is a dense team of pretending to attack, there are thousands of wooden Zhuangzi densely packed, although they are wooden stakes, but this number of people who look at it is also sent out in their hearts, although such a military exercise is a dead thing, but the intention can be seen.
is beaten motionless and passively, and there may be absolutely no way to convince the people who watch it.
Gao Debang couldn't see why.
Under the drink order.
I saw movement outside the school grounds.
A strange-looking car drove in, following a neat army of twenty-five men at a distance of several hundred meters! But what made Gao Debang strange was that the soldiers of this unit did not carry any weapons on their backs, except for some wood with no apparent purpose on their backs, and there were no blades in sight.
After this, a group of well-armed warriors in armor appeared, holding weapons that looked like bows and arrows, but unfortunately this bow and arrow style was also too clumsy, looking heavy and clumsy, and such archers might not be able to shoot a few arrows.
This kind of equipment still comes out to offer ugliness?
Gao Debang is strange.
Since it is a military parade, there is no need to question that it is a demonstration, but Gao Debang has never seen this kind of military parade.
There are not many people, and the total number of people is less than a hundred, yes, they seem to be in good spirits, and their steps are neat and uniform, which can be seen to be carefully trained, which proves that the army of Chengyuan is full of drills on weekdays.
The soldiers who have been trained from unremitting training can see the shadow of training in terms of pace and posture, including standing and sitting, and these soldiers who have walked in look scattered, but they cooperate with each other very tacitly! The movements are all uniform and fast, and it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no training.
But what does it matter.
Gao Debang smiled, the training of the Eight-Nation Alliance will not be inferior to that of Chengyuan, it will be more difficult. Moreover, compared with the Chengyuan Kingdom, the advantages of the Eight-Nation Alliance are obvious.
The troops of the Chengyuan Kingdom have been bloodless for a hundred years, and they can't train an iron-blooded army just by training, what they need is real fighting, an army can be strong, and what they need is to kill people and see blood, so that they will be strong.
The Eight-Nation Coalition doesn't know how many years the Jin Ge Iron Horse has been fighting on the battlefield, how can these three-legged cats of Chengyuan Kingdom be compared to these comfortable and accustomed cats.
Suddenly, a trumpet sounded in the middle of the field.
The voice was impassioned, with solemnity and power.
Immediately, the car in front of him accelerated and rushed towards Mu Zhuangzi on the other side, Gao Debang laughed shamefully, but it was just a charge, such a charge, without resistance, was not interesting at all.
Behind the abrupt wooden stakes, neat rows of troops suddenly appeared, holding bows and arrows, which were the most basic offensive equipment of the army, and the archers shot arrows at the cars that began to drive in this direction, and the arrows rained down.
Gao Debang is full of interest.
This car Gao Debang has seen, but this thing is produced in Chengyuan country, and other countries have also spent a lot of money to buy it back, but in addition to sitting comfortably, the speed is average, and there is nothing peculiar, of course, this speed is also because the road is really not easy to walk.
Either it is a potholed dirt road, or a rugged mountain road, and the best is probably the stone road and stone road that are only found in the city, and the car looks much faster than the horse-drawn carriage on the stone road and stone road, and if you go out of the city, it is the ear decoration of the deaf.
That is, the princes and nobles have nothing to do, and spend money to buy a face curiosity and vanity, after all, it is a novelty, who will buy it.
It's a lot of money.
Now that it is used to fight, Gao Debang wants to laugh when he thinks about it, but he can't laugh for the sake of face! He can only hold back his laughter and stare at the strange-looking car in a daze.
After a round of rain arrows, there was nothing on the car except for some slight scratches.
The car was getting closer and closer, and at a distance of two hundred paces from the stake, suddenly the car stopped, and a small door on the top of the car opened, and a soldier with a strange-looking helmet came out, and the bow and arrow fell on the helmet, leaving no trace at all, and the other hand was raised, and a black thing was thrown.
Immediately after that, the archer's swift cat's waist withdrew.
It's like stepping on a wheel under your feet.
Gao Debang's eyebrows and eyes were stunned.
Is this a war?
Just kidding!
Isn't this a big show?
If this is also a war, hehe, the ten Chengyuan countries together are not the opponent of the Eight-Nation Alliance.
Gao Debang relaxed and watched the burlesque below, looking at ease, leisurely, and with a hint of contempt.
Such a soldier, if he was in the Eight Kingdoms, would be a waste of obsolescence, but now he is regarded as a treasure in the Chengyuan Kingdom.
Hey, it's no wonder that the king wants to conquer the Chengyuan Kingdom!
Such a country is also a backing for others to be cannon fodder.
Even if the Eight-Nation Coalition does not fight today, he will still be food in other people's mouths.
In that case, it is better for them to eat.
It's also a good use.
Bang!
The loud roar sounded like a thunderbolt in Gao Debang's ears, because there was no prevention at all, such a loud noise, as if it was roaring in the ears of the envoys of Gao Debang, these envoys of the eight countries, dozens of people, including Gao Debang, were all shocked, and a few of them were almost frightened and fell to the ground, even Gao Debang couldn't sit still, and thought that the ground had moved!
Indeed, the earth shook the mountains.
Gao Debang watched the smoke and fire in the field dissipate, and this time it was the real shock.
The central part of the dense wooden stakes is a large pit several meters in diameter, and the wooden stakes outside the huge pit are crooked, and many of them have been reduced to ashes and fragments, which is only one effect.
Gao Debang's eyes widened, and his mouth couldn't close a little.
He now understood why the archers had chosen to stand behind the stakes, and why they had run so fast when they saw something thrown outside the cart.
With such lethality, if you don't run, you're waiting for death!
What is it?
That's amazing.
It's not something that human flesh and blood can resist at all.
I can't stop it.
As long as you have the heart and count, at least a tenth of those stakes have fallen.
That's the one, that's the result.
If it's throwing seventeen or eighteen, there's nothing left.
Gao Debang's face changed greatly.
This is what the Emperor of Chengyuan Kingdom wants to show him.
Jian Mingyue looked at Gao Debang's face and was finally relieved.
At least the effect is there.
Secretly glanced at Yang Xiu.
Continue.
Strike while the iron is hot!
Yang Xiu raised his arm and made a gesture.
The horn sounded over there.
The car suddenly turned a corner and quietly left the battlefield! I saw that the soldiers with wooden equipment on their backs who had just pulled away from the distance quickly untied their things on the spot, and in a group of five people, five hands were almost flying flexibly! It didn't take a minute, only 20 seconds or so to see a wooden locomotive that looked like a large one by one standing up.
There were huge arrows in the steel trough that were sharper than bows and arrows, and I saw five people pulling crossbows and three people holding the frame, and after the swishing sound, dozens of sharp arrows shot through the wooden stakes that were still hundreds of meters away in front of them in a graceful arc, and each arrow pierced through the wooden stakes in front of them, and then pierced into the bodies of the wooden people in the back, crackling, after such arrows!
Gao Debang is chilled.
This time it's not the kind of weapon that looks weird and can't be seen! But this kind of weapon still can't be named! But the attack power is definitely not inferior to the lethality of the black thing in front of it, such a frame is almost coherent, and it can be seen that it is trained to be fast, and the hands and feet are neat, and in less than ten seconds, a new round of crossbow arrows has been shot out again.
The stakes on the field fell a large part again.
This time it adds up to two-tenths of the total.
After the third crossbow, only half of the wooden stakes were still standing on the field.
The rest had been wiped out, and that was less than ten minutes away.
Then, after a trumpet, the soldiers quickly dismantled the frames, hands and feet! In the blink of an eye, the frames were dismembered into countless fragments, and they were carried on their backs and evacuated, with swift movements, and only for a moment.
The archers at the rear, with clumsy bows and arrows in their hands, rushed forward!
These dozens of archers alternately cover and divide into two groups, one group picks up the bow and fires the arrows, and then regardless of whether they hit the target or not, they will quickly evacuate, and the other group of archers will fill the position and continue to shoot arrows and leave, and the second group of archers will return to position again.
To Gao Debang's horror, these archers seemed to be shooting arrows at all, without any aim or pause, but every arrow shot out of the eyebrow of the target, and Gao Debang felt a chill when he saw that a crossbow arrow was inserted deep into the center of each eyebrow of those wooden stakes.
Where people are casual, it is obvious that the arrows that have been tempered for a long time are not missing.
Look at the field, there are still a few wooden stakes that are in good condition.
For the first time, Gao Debang had a chill.
As soon as the war began, people released water.
If the car had driven in front of it at the beginning, and had thrown out not a single thing like that, then ten or eight, the battle would have not needed any fighting that followed.
People deliberately left a hand just to show the powerful weapons behind them, as well as the level of training of their own soldiers, otherwise, would they still need to be so troublesome?
On the battlefield in front, the archers had already begun to put away their weapons, and they were all moving their fingers! The speed was not clear at all! In just a few seconds, the crossbow frame was disassembled, and I don't know where it was installed! Anyway, one by one, the energetic lineup left neatly.
Gao Debang's eyes were red and his lips were pale.
The envoys of the Eight Nations Envoys in the distance were also dumbfounded!
This parade is enough to deter them!
Tell them what the strength of the Cheng Yuan Kingdom really is.
Gao Debang was gloomy.
Not to mention the 1 million men and horses of the Eight-Nation Alliance, even if there are millions of more horses, I am afraid that they will be vulnerable in the face of which black and unscrewed.
This is the strength of Cheng Yuanguo.
He thought that Cheng Yuanguo was self-contained, but in fact, others were hiding their strength.
Such a Chengyuan country, even the ten eight-nation coalition forces can't afford to provoke.
Not only can't you mess with it, I'm afraid you have to make good friends.
Otherwise, the end will be the annexation of the Eight Kingdoms by the Chengyuan Kingdom!
