Are you sure? Xu Ding asked.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, if we are not absolutely sure, we will not dare to do this." Guo Jia replied.

"Okay."

Xu Ding thought about it.

For such a big matter, Guo Jia and Jia Xu would never dare to joke with the lives of soldiers.

Guo Jia continued: "After the artillery exercise, the army returned to the city. There will be a shooting demonstration on the school grounds. Our sharpshooter battalion will showcase their superior design skills. And this will be seen by all. ”

"In the end, the salute platoon fired three consecutive salvos, ending the parade."

.........

After listening to Guo Jia's wonderful speech, Xu Ding applauded repeatedly: "Okay, in my opinion, this will become a model for a military parade, very good, very thoughtful." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

"But..."

Xu Ding's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "I still want to remind you." You let the soldiers hide in the fortifications and fire at the positions, and you must be foolproof. If there are casualties, not only will the parade lose its original effect, I'm afraid we will also become a joke. ”

Guo Jia said: "If we are not absolutely sure, how dare we?" ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

The two have repeatedly assured.

Xu nodded and said, "Okay, I believe in you." ”

..........

Time passed quickly.

By the next day.

The parade officially began.

Before dawn, people flocked to the north school to line up.

The soldiers in the school yard also got up early and changed into new uniforms.

Because the parade is solemn and solemn, the clothing of the soldiers is very important.

The quilt factory specially made tens of thousands of sets of clothes and distributed them.

All soldiers are required to wear the same attire.

After breakfast.

Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Tai Shici, etc., began to organize troops.

Xu Ding also arrived early.

"Wenhe, Fengxiao, how are you preparing? Look at the people who can't wait, they are already full of the outside of the venue. Xu Ding walked into the command headquarters and said.

"Everything is ready, just wait for His Majesty's order, and you can begin."

"Let's get started."

Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other.

Guo Jia chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, let's... Is this how it started? ”

"So what?"

Xu Ding didn't understand.

Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty, you have to go out first." Wait until you enter the school field, so that you can have an impact. If it starts like this, it's too common. ”

"Haha..."

Xu Dingcai reacted, waved his hand and said, "Okay, good... I'll go out first. ”

In order to show the solemnity of the parade ceremony, Xu Dingxian quietly left the school grounds.

When he returned to the palace, he set up a dependence, and walked towards the school with a thousand royal forest troops.

Meanwhile.

The school yard is already crowded with people, and it is very lively.

Ten miles around the school grounds, all separated by iron railings, inside is an open space, but divided into many passages. Outside was where the people stood.

Half an hour later.

As Xu Ding's military vehicle appeared at the gate of the school field, the earth-shattering music and drums sounded in the school field.

This kind of vocal music is only available in Huaxia.

To be precise, it was Xu Ding who made it so that the musicians could learn to spread it.

Now all major events, solemn ceremonies, will blow this kind of vocal music, and it is very majestic to listen to.

When the music started, Xu Ding's military vehicle slowly drove in.

In front of them were two teams of Imperial Guards opening the way.

There are also Imperial Guards on the left and right to maintain order.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..." And all the people knelt down and saluted.

Xu Ding opened the window on the top and stood up from inside.

And waved to the people.

Such a scene is rarely seen in ordinary times.

Xu Ding also hated such a scene, but for the sake of Huaxiaguo, he had to do it. No matter how unaccustomed you are, you have to endure it.

It didn't take long.

He came to a high platform.

According to Jia Xu, this place is called Longtai.

The implication is that Xu Ding is the place to review the three armies.

However, it doesn't matter what it's called, the important thing is that you can clearly see the situation in the school yard when you stand here.

Xu Ding walked to the center, pressed his hand around, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then shouted: "Today is the military parade ceremony of the Huaxia Kingdom, since the invasion of foreign countries, we have successively formed the first and second group armies, and it took two years to repel the foreign people. Many people wonder, is our Huaxia country's army strong? Or was the army of the Western Shang Empire strong? If we are strong, why do we need to form a new type of army? If the enemy is strong, how can we win? After watching today's military parade, everyone can understand that the repeated victories of our Huaxia country are not luck, nor are they... ”

Xu Ding said a lot.

To sum up, it is to tell the people present that this battle with the Western Shang Empire was very hard, but what did it rely on to win in the end?

It depends on the determination and will to win.

.........

After the opening remarks, Xu Ding said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, you can start." ”

"Yes."

Jia Xu passed down the order.

I saw a platoon of salutes, lined up in the east camp.

"Reload!"

"A salvo!"

The herald waving the command flag.

Boom boom...

There were twelve salutes, and they shot into the sky together.

The sound of artillery thundered and shook the heavens and the earth.

At this moment, it attracted everyone's attention.

Xu Ding also looked sideways and admired the opening of this military parade.

Twelve gun salutes exploded.

After that, two more infantry phalanxes came out of the barracks.

They lined up in four columns and marched forward with their feet.

The action is the same.

Wear the same.

As far as the eye can see, there is only one line.

The visual impact is simply indescribable.

The people standing outside the arena were also talking.

Such an army, they have never seen.

There was no one in the army in the past.

After the two phalanxes, there was a long phalanx that stretched far away. Judging from the scale, there should be more than 5,000 troops, all of them rifles, carrying guns on their shoulders and taking them one step at a time.

They did not move quickly, and their troops were well-groomed.

The onlookers watched intently.

It wasn't until all the troops came out and walked around the school field that the people came back to their senses and began to scream.

Xu Ding said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, how did you do it?" In just half a month, the army was trained to have such a look? ”

Xu Ding knew that these troops were all formed within two years.

After being formed, after less than two months of training, you have to go to the front to fight.

There is simply no time to train in standing in line and walking.

It took less than half a month to return from the front line.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu were able to create such a miracle, which also surprised Xu Ding.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment. In fact... Didn't train much. Just get them into the habit of standing in line. Every time you go out to exercise, you must keep the team neat, and anyone who is not in order will be severely punished. In the past half month, the soldiers have been practicing tirelessly, and only then have the current military appearance. Jia Xu said.

"Okay."

Xu Dingding nodded and smiled: "Maintain this formation and develop this habit, and the army will be like an army." ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true."

The two arched their hands.

"In the future, when training soldiers, strict orders must be issued, and if the army is not in order, it will be punished as defeat. In this way, the new army of our Huaxia Kingdom will gradually catch up with or even surpass the Western Shang Empire. ”

"Yes."

Xu Ding continued to look into the distance.

Tens of thousands of troops lined up and walked around the school yard.

After that, I walked out of the school grounds.

Meantime.

The people who love to watch the excitement are following on both sides.

Parade through the streets with the army.

Xu Ding also wanted to see if he could successfully dodge the field brigade if it could successfully evade it when it was bombarded by artillery fire.

He jumped back into the military vehicle and ordered all the officers to go with the army.

.........

The army walked out of the school yard and walked through the streets.

Xu Ding's military vehicle followed behind the military formation.

After that, there were civil and military officials and senior generals in the army.

Xu heard from time to time that the people were talking: "The current army is really different from before, look at their clothes and pace, all the same..." ”

"Brother, that's not the point, okay."

"Look at the weapons in their hands, they are all artifacts that can shoot thousands of meters, how could you see them before? As far as I know, the best bow and arrow is only a hundred paces, right? ”

"That's the gap..."

........

The people are talking about what to be afraid of with such an army and guarding the country.

Even a country as strong as the Western Shang Empire can't shake the Huaxia State in the slightest, and the Huaxia Kingdom will definitely survive forever.

Woo woo...

Knock knock...

The sound of drums and trumpets never stopped.

The soldiers marched through the market, and after a few steps of marching, they let out a loud roar.

The sonic boom is in the sky, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

From the school grounds to the outside of the city, you have to pass through six main streets and go around a huge square. The distance is not less than five miles.

Walking over such a long distance is tiring.

But the people and the soldiers did not feel tired.

Always accompanied and walked outside the city together.

Xu Ding climbed the tower and looked down from a high place.

I saw that after the army left the city, they lined up outside.

The outside of the city is spacious and can accommodate 100,000 troops. These tens of thousands of troops are still very loose when they go to that station. But then, the drums beat abruptly, the flag waved, and the troops outside the city moved quickly.

Among them were the strength of two divisions, which went to the flanks and were in defensive formation.

The field brigade moved forward.

The rest of the troops, standing by in place.

Boom...

A burst of cannon fire was heard.

The field brigade immediately rushed to the front.

Soon reach a clearing in the distance.

They were very fast, like a gust of wind.

After stopping, they quickly dispersed again.

Under the leadership of their respective battalion commanders, they dug in situ.

It took only an hour to erect the fortifications.

Xu Ding was always calculating.

Seeing that the field trip was moving quickly, beyond his expectations, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart: "Which troops are this field brigade mainly composed of?" Do you have a number in your hearts? Xu Ding asked Jia Xu and Guo Jia.

"This..."

That's really asking them.

Because the field brigade was not formed by them, they did not know about it.

"Back to Your Majesty, the field brigade is a unit under the command of the last general." A general stood out from behind.

Xu Ding looked back: "Lu Xun! ”

"Yes."

Xu Ding smiled and said, "Tell me quickly, what's going on with this field brigade?" I remember that you only have a division under your command, can you also train a field brigade? ”

Lu Xun replied: "The last general has seen General Jia Heng's special forces before, and I feel that their combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and the training methods and combat characteristics are also worth learning. So a field company was formed, which gradually developed into a field battalion and a field regiment, and it was not until some time ago that people who could recruit and fight were selected from among the three brigades and a field brigade was formed. ”

"I see."

Xu Ding should have guessed a long time ago.

The field brigade is the embodiment of the special forces of the wind forest and volcano.

However, compared to the Wind Forest Volcano, they are still much inferior.

"In the first battle of Wu County, the special forces of the Wind Forest Volcano were hit hard. Now there are less than fifty people left. A small half of them are still injured, which can be described as miserable. ”

"However, the battle of Wu Jun also happened to show their ability to fight."

"With only a few hundred men, resist the attack of the enemy's two divisions. If it were to be replaced by other troops, it would never be possible. So, I am very supportive of your formation of a field brigade. ”

"Your Majesty is sure." Lu Xun has been worried. It is already illegal for him to form troops without authorization, and it would not be an exaggeration to shoot him if Xu Ding investigated deeply.

Hearing Xu Ding's words, he was relieved.

The formation of a field brigade is not only without fault, but on the contrary, it is meritorious.

..........

The defensive positions were built, and the field brigades were lying on their positions.

At this time, Jia Xu shouted to the rear: "Order, fire at the positions outside the city!" ”

"Reload!"

"Fire....

Boom boom...

The artillery column is composed of three artillery regiments, all of which are placed in the city, and the firing locations are adjusted, and the accuracy is very high.

At this time, fire together.

The positions outside the city were immediately covered by fire.

The people who watched from afar were all stunned.

They saw with their own eyes that thousands of men were on that position, and now, round after round of artillery, were smashing into the position. The ground trembled every time the artillery touched the ground.

Will those thousands of people survive under such fire?

It's not all going to die, is it?

Was this the process of the parade, or was it a mistake?

All the people, unwitting generals and officials were talking to each other, and their faces were already full of worry.

"Your Majesty, this... Nothing will happen, right? Lu Xun was also in a hurry.

He was the one who knew Jia Xu and Guo Jia's plan, and he was originally very confident in the field brigade, but at this moment, when the artillery fire covered the battlefield, he couldn't help but worry.

What should I do if I make a mistake and get blown up and kill a large area?

This will not only lead to the failure of the parade, but also his disgrace.

"Your own army, don't you count it in your heart?" Xu Ding was even more worried than Lu Xun.

He had already mentioned it to Jia Xu and Guo Jia, but Jia Xu and Guo Jia repeatedly assured that it was not easy for him to refuse.

Now the artillery fire covered the battlefield, and the sand on the ground was blown up.

Huge pits appeared outside the city.

Xu Ding was really worried about whether the holes dug by the field brigade to defend against artillery shells could withstand the bombardment of artillery fire.

Even if it can be blocked, it will not be buried in the soil. Because the artillery fire will shake the ground, and the dug hole may collapse.

And once it collapses, the soldiers have to be buried, and there is no way out.

"Your Majesty, now that you are ready to fly, you have to send it. Even if it's dangerous, you have to keep going. You can't stop halfway. Jia Xu said.

"So you're not sure?" Xu Ding asked with a calm face.

"No!"

Guo Jiadao: "The minister has seen the training of the field brigade, and the minister absolutely believes that they can complete this task." Your Majesty, don't worry, after half a pillar of incense, they will come out completely and there will be no casualties. ”
