Chapter 933: Brilliant Hanwei (57)
The day is not yet dawn, both sides of the East Avenue have been crowded with people, even the roofs of the buildings on both sides, are also crawling full of people who are ready to see the might of the soldiers, the Eastern Army to fight in all directions, collect the Huns, destroy the Donghu, defeat the Qi State, the soldiers are mighty, but for the people of Jicheng, they have not really seen the military appearance of this army, the earliest is the cavalry of the two divisions of the Young Guards under Jicheng, but they also stop and go. Later, the eastern army entered the city and drove away all the people, but most of the people of Jicheng fled at that time, and many troops entered the city a few days ago, but it was only a glimpse, and after those soldiers entered the barracks, they rarely came out again.
Today is the day of the big military parade, so naturally this opportunity cannot be missed.
Yan Shenghao is the person in charge of today's military parade, he barely slept last night, no matter how big or small, he arranged them one by one, when the day was bright, he was already on the top of the city tower, and then carefully checked the layout on the city tower, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
The position of the Han King Gao Yuan was naturally in the middle, and on both sides of him, sitting Wu Qi, the first assistant of the Wei State, and Zhao Qi, the first assistant of the Zhao State, respectively, the two brothers of the Qi State were separated, a little farther away, and in their rear, this was the Han State's own Wenchen military generals.
"King Han has arrived!" With the announcement of the praise officer, the crowd of people who were sitting or standing together on the castle tower and whispering together turned around in the direction from which the sound came, and naturally arranged into two lines.
"I've seen the king!" Everybody bent down.
"Big guys don't have to be polite." Gao Yuan laughed, today he was not wearing the crown of the King of Han, but wearing a helmet and armor and a waist knife, behind him, the two ladies Ye Jing'er and Ning Xin followed, and Xiao Xing Gao Zhiyuan was also carried up to the city tower by a maid.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready!" Yan Shenghao stepped forward and said in a low voice.
"Let's get started!" Gao Yuan waved his hand and said. turned around and walked to his seat and sat down, Ye Jing'er and Gao Yuan walked to the two chairs behind Gao Yuan, and sat upright.
Yan Shenghao walked to the front of the city tower, exerted all his strength, and shouted loudly: "The military parade of the Han Dynasty starts now!"
As his voice landed, on the city wall, a hundred horns sounded in unison, a hundred drums rumbled, the previously closed gate of the imperial city opened, and three knights flew out, the first one held the Yellow Dragon Banner of the Great Han, and the two men held sabers in their hands, following each other closely. The three of them walked through the square in front of the palace and along the East Street, and after them, the army art troupe unique to the army of the Han Dynasty came out, standing around the city gate, various musical instruments were swinged, and with the wave of the commander's arm, the sound of music immediately sounded.
This is the war song of the Han army.
The long sword is directed to the northern territory;
The remnant sun is like blood, flowing on the journey south;
Banner hunting, summoning the war drums of the eastward;
The yellow sand is long, and it can't stop the footsteps of the westward expedition.
Although there are less than a hundred people singing war songs in the following team, under the sound of horses' hooves, horns, and war drums, it seems to be the same as the overwhelming momentum, where Gao Yuan sits, listening to this familiar singing, his eyes can't help but be a little moist, his lips are lightly opened, and he can't help but sing loudly in a low voice, and He Lanxiong, Xu Yuan and other senior generals above the city tower can't help but sing loudly.
This song has accompanied them countless times as they charge at the enemy.
The sound of horses' hooves in the distance gradually became clear, and the three flag-wielding knights had already returned from flying horses, passing through the city gate, turning over and dismounting, and the three of them held the yellow dragon flag, strode along the stairs towards the city tower.
On top of the city tower, two rows of soldiers who had already been prepared greeted the three flag soldiers.
The knight holding the flag presented the yellow dragon flag with both hands and handed it to the soldiers who met him. After receiving the banner of the Han King, the two rows of soldiers turned around and walked to the flagpole set up high in front of the city tower with neat steps.
The sound of the drums stopped, the sound of the horns, and the whole tower and the square became silent for a while, except for the sound of the two rows of soldiers stepping heavily on the blue bricks of the city wall.
"Raise the Great Han Dragon Flag!" Yan Shenghao shouted.
The sound of music sounded again, and with the music, the song sounded again.
Hold the festival in order to the four directions.
The water of the river washes my swords and guns.
Jin Ge Iron Horse, Ten Thousand Miles of Eagles.
Like the sunrise in the East China Sea,
My land and my people. My country, my country.
Hold the festival in order to guard the four directions.
Look at the long wind hunting and blowing my clothes.
Expand the territory, thousands of miles of dragons.
In the middle of the sun,
Broken bones, return to the king.
In the majestic music and singing, the Yellow Dragon Flag of the Han Dynasty reflects the rising sun, rising, standing tall and solemn, with his right hand clenched into a fist and placed on the atrium. And above the tower, except for the foreign envoys, all of them were doing the same thing.
"Please, Your Majesty!" The banner was raised, Yan Shenghao walked quickly in front of Gao Yuan, bowed and said.
Gao Yuan nodded, Ye Jing'er behind him also stood up, took Gao Yuan's battle helmet from He Weiyuan's hand, put it on for Gao Yuan, carefully tied the silk tape, nodded and smiled at Ye Jing'er, Gao Yuan turned around, held the waist knife in his hand, and strode out.
Standing on the wooden platform by the battlements, Gao Yuan glanced left and right, held the handle of the knife in his right hand, choked, pulled the knife out of its sheath, raised it high, paused for a moment, and slashed it heavily.
When the knife fell, a big drum immediately sounded, and after three consecutive sounds, hundreds of big drums sounded, and in the distance, a high-pitched voice was heard.
"Great Han Army, forward!" Bathed in the morning sun, an army appeared in everyone's field of vision from a distance. All the people on both sides of the street were amazed, for this army was not mighty.
This is a parade of disabled soldiers, many of whom have long since retired and are wearing old military uniforms. The pace is not neat, and the only thing that can be felt is their high morale.
Some of them were missing an arm, some were lame, some were blind, they were blinders, they were supported by their companions, chanting slogans, and they walked in the direction of the palace.
Such a special parade troops, immediately aroused the curiosity of all the viewers, Jicheng is the capital of the Yan Kingdom, the people here will see the parade every year, but what they see are tall and mighty sergeants, like such a force is unheard of. I can't help but talk to each other.
But as the force advanced, the noise gradually subsided, for the soldiers on the alert along the way solemnly saluted them when this special unit came to them.
This is their predecessor, this is the pioneer of the founding of the Han Dynasty.
The somewhat disorganized army walked under the walls in front of the palace, and all of them raised their weapons at the same time, knives, spears, bows, and so on, but they were all the weapons they had used on the battlefield.
"Conquer the Eastern Army, ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories!" The crippled soldiers shouted.
Standing tall and awe-inspiring, solemnly returning salutes to these people, and on the city wall, the generals gave them military salutes, and the civil officials bowed deeply.
On the top of the city tower, Zhao Qi, Wu Qi and others were first puzzled, and then shocked, they never thought that on the occasion of the military parade, Gao Yuan would actually form a phalanx of disabled soldiers and let them be the first to come out to be read, this kind of honor is enough to make these soldiers never forget, and it will also make all the soldiers of the Han Dynasty proud. It is said that the Eastern Army of the Eastern Army does not care about the care of the disabled soldiers, which makes their army not afraid of death on the battlefield, and now it seems that they have done more than just a material reward, although this kind of spiritual reward is invisible and intangible, but the incentive for the soldiers is huge.
The next thing to appear is still not the regular army, but the militia team, although these teams are also wearing navy blue uniforms, but there is no logo on them, and it is only the fluttering flag that identifies them, and the one who walks in the front is the Fufeng militia. Fufeng, as a lofty starting place, came to enjoy the honor of reading on behalf of Liaoxi this time, which is naturally logical.
After the Fufeng militia, there is the Poplar Village Militia of Jishi County, and the Poplar Village Militia not only represents Jishi County this time, but their village chief is also in the first phalanx at this time.
One after another militia teams walked under the city tower, above the city tower, the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty were all smiling and nodding their heads, and the envoys of other countries could not help but be shocked, in their countries, even the regular army is just like this, but in the Han Dynasty, this is just some militia teams, reserve soldiers. To train these people to such a degree, I am afraid that the amount of money to be paid is a terrible amount.
Gao Yuan smiled and looked at the envoys whose faces changed color, this military parade is a ceremony for the founding of the Han Dynasty, and why not a demonstration? Gao Yuan believed that although the State of Chu and the State of Qin did not send people to come, they would definitely receive the details of this military parade as soon as possible.
After the militia marched, the regular army finally officially appeared, the first to drive on the East Street is the independent cavalry division of the Northern Field Army, led by the division commander Gongsun Yi, and the infantry phalanx is composed of a thousand people, the cavalry phalanx is composed of two hundred cavalry, black robes, black horses, uniform pace, so that everyone is stunned, two hundred war horses, there are only a few inches between each other, but there is no chaos, in the eyes of outsiders, it is almost the head of the horse and the tail of the horse.
