Lu Bu concisely finished a few main points, and then no longer took up more time, and gave the rest of the opportunity to speak to Zhongshu Ling Sima Lang.

Sima Lang made a brief report on the administration and development of the imperial court, and made digital statistics on some well-known events, which more intuitively showed the achievements of various policies of the imperial court in the past few years.

About a quarter of an hour later, Sima Lang finished his speech and officially announced the start of the military parade.

At this time, the morning sun is rising, and the golden glow of the sky shines on the city head of Anyi's early riser, dyeing every excited smiling face red.

With the sound of the rhythmic drums, the countless phalanxes of the parade slowly marched from West Street to the direction of the palace.

The first to come was the guard battalion led by Yan Chao, the guard battalion is Lu Bu's personal guard, responsible for the security tasks of the commander and the base camp, although there are few opportunities to charge into battle in peacetime, but the soldiers are all selected from the best of the military camps, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is definitely the elite of the elite of the state.

Although the Guards Battalion did not have any outstanding combat exploits, no one in the generals of other units dared to underestimate the strength of the Guards Battalion. Even among the commanders of the various armies, there were countless generals from the Guards Battalion. Therefore, the Guards Battalion is not only the guardian of the base camp, but also the cradle of the generals of the Bingzhou Army, such as Wei Yue, Wei Xu, Ding Xu, Wang Ling and other generals who are now in charge of a team of soldiers and horses, all once served in the Guards Battalion.

The number of the Guards Battalion's phalanx is not much, only about 2,000 people, everyone is a tall horse, and the armor and equipment on their bodies are the latest achievements of the state, and the five crossbows in their hands are the latest new small crossbows developed by the Mengjin Workshop, which is not only light and easy to carry, but also more valuable is that it can be fired continuously, which greatly reduces the time used to load bows and arrows.

Many of the people present were wounded veterans, and when they saw the strong crossbows assembled by the Guards Battalion, they were all agitated, if these strong crossbows were assembled to the troops ten days earlier, where could they still damage so many men and horses, even if they were afraid that they were still serving in the army, and their careers in the army would not be interrupted.

And the most elite of the Guards Battalion was not the small crossbows they assembled, but the steel swords in their hands. Although as early as the Western Han Dynasty, the smelting technology of the Han Dynasty has made a major breakthrough, the technology of steel softening is unique in the world at that time, which is a preliminary refined iron refining technology, which greatly strengthens the toughness of pig iron and can manufacture all kinds of long and short weapons. However, this kind of technology was not fully popularized among the people, and pig iron weapons and more rudimentary bronze weapons were still popular.

I think that the seven-star treasure knife used by Cao Cao when he assassinated Ding Yuan was made of fine iron, which was called a treasure knife at that time, which shows that the technology of fine iron is far from being popularized.

Since Lü Bu came to power, he set up a college workshop in Mengjin, hired master craftsmen, gathered the strength of everyone, and raised the smelting technique to a new height.

However, because the building technology is not mature, and the defective product rate remains high, it is impossible for Bingzhou to use all steel weapons as Lu Bu imagined, and most of the long weapons in the infantry phalanx are still mainly pig iron, and only some of the troops in close combat are all equipped with stainless steel long swords or stainless steel short knives.

This made the combat power of Lu Bu's army like a tiger, Cao Cao's troops suffered a big loss, the pig iron weapons in his troops, when they encountered the fine iron weapons of Lu Bu's army, there was almost no power to fight back, and countless weapons were all broken with one blow, which is also one of the reasons why Cao Cao did not win a single battle against Lu Bu.

Therefore, Cao Cao's defeat was not entirely due to the good fighting of the state army, and the advantage of weapons was also an indelible credit.

You must know that the Roman Empire in the Western world at that time was known as an invincible opponent throughout Europe. But they still use pig iron weapons, because they can't master the refining of iron and stone, they can only use some simple swords, and only the tip of the javelin is iron. Even a simple refined iron technique can't be reached, let alone a steel sword that is several times stronger.

The long sword in the hands of the guards battalion, the round shield on the back like a pot lid, and the standard leather armor, the momentum of the army looks extremely majestic.

The queue of the cavalry of the Guards Battalion was not neat, perhaps because of nervousness, and even looked a little messy.

It's just that they seem to be in a messy formation, but they faintly have a state of vigilance during the battle. If you look carefully and carefully, you will find that every three of them are compact with each other, forming one after another, countless triangular formations of different sizes, they work in groups of three, support each other, and can rely on each other to defend in a million armies, even if the formation of the army is scattered, they can also maintain a relatively complete local defense formation, ensuring that even if the army is defeated, it will not suffer a large-scale rout.

However, insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the excitement. Among the guests present, less than half of them knew how to march and fight. Many of them didn't understand the connotation, but they just looked at the battle formations that were not neat, and even a little messy, and everyone was surprised.

Although they are not people who have been in battle for a long time, many of them have long understood the military discipline of the soldiers of Bingzhou, even if they walk on the street on weekdays, these soldiers are all in twos and threes, and their steps and posture are neat and sassy, and they are praised by everyone.

Therefore, the military appearance of the Bingzhou army has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The chaotic formation of the soldiers and horses in front of him, although it seems to be in the same pace and posture, almost stepping on the same beat, always gives people the illusion of chaos and disorder, and it is far less powerful than the usual neatly arranged battle formation.

However, the soldiers and generals of the state have long been surprised, such a battle formation can only be seen on the battlefield, and the disorderly intertwined formation, when fighting, can always form a local siege situation. Even when the number of people is at a disadvantage, because of the staggered formation of three people, it can often form a local encirclement trend, and sometimes there will even be a situation where more than a dozen people besiege dozens of people.

When Cao Cao's army was deployed, no matter how ever-changing, it was always ineffective in the face of such a strange formation. What fish scale array, goose-shaped array, what four-elephant array, gossip array, in front of such a seemingly chaotic formation, there is no trace of power in the past.

Because of this, Cao Cao's army, which had suffered enough, gave such a formation a peculiar name, turning clouds and rain. Just because of this array, it moves like a pack of wolves to pounce on food, quiet as a cloudy cloud, and has the ability to turn over clouds and rain, and any formation they are familiar with, when facing such a battle formation, will be like a cloud of smoke, destroyed and blown away.

However, such a majestic and invincible battle formation with supreme prestige in Cao's army is a very common training subject in Lü Bu's army, except for the formation that must be neatly arranged when the array is assembled, any other combat-related subject training is based on such a formation, which makes Lü Bu's infantry almost always the same formation no matter who they fight with, and almost all form the instinct when fighting.

It's just that on occasions like this, such a formation can't be compared with a neat and orderly array in terms of perception, and the response from the people watching the ceremony is not enthusiastic.

The messy guard battalion shouted majestic slogans and walked past the viewing platform, and went to the reading square on the east side to form a team, waiting for the prime minister to come and inspect in person.

Followed by the famous black armor heavy cavalry phalanx of Lu Bu, when the Tiger Prison Pass battle, Lu Bu was with 3,000 iron armor, killing hundreds of thousands of princes and coalition troops disappeared, and the once powerful alliance army was scattered like birds and beasts, laying a solid foundation for Lu Bu to later govern Luoyang. When the neat war horses and the orderly rhythm of the drums passed by the viewing platform, everyone was forced by its majesty and let out bursts of exclamations.

"Look, this is the Black Armor Heavy Rider!"

"Wow, that's mighty!"

"This is what the Iron Rider should look like!"

Countless exclamations and cheers came one after another, like this heavy-armored iron horseman, all of whom were wearing iron armor, like a moving steel mountain, just looking at it made people depressed and suffocating, it can be imagined that the enemies who fought with him would inevitably leave a lifelong indelible nightmare.

The response of the heavy cavalry was more than ten times higher than that of the Guards battalion, and the loud cheers were in stark contrast to the sparse cheers of the Guards Battalion, and it was clear who was more popular.

After the heavy cavalry, it was followed by a mighty army that had been famous in the world for more than ten years, and fell into the camp.
