Chapter 236: The Great Military Parade 3

In front of each of their marching formations, there was also a flag-bearer, who was basically led by a tall and mighty battalion general, and behind the battalion commander was a drummer with a marching drum on his body, beating a very rhythmic drum as he walked.

And the infantry behind them, every step is just stepping on the drum, the stride length is basically exactly the same, so their queue compared to the front of the cavalry, and have to be neatly out of a lot, thousands of people raise their legs and land, all are one action, but the upper body remains straight, the pikeman bends his arm to clamp the long spear under the armpit, the spear leans forward slightly, the angle of the tilt of the five hundred spears is all the same, none of them deviate, and the brush brushes form two bright and bright gun forests, The sword player is holding a rattan sign with a hideous beast face on his left arm, and a single knife hanging from his side, and the firecracker is each carrying a newly made and oiled spear on his shoulder, and the flintlock spear that looks black and shiny, and the head of the spear hangs a short blade that is more than a foot long, which is also very neat.

Their team horizontal row seems to be more dense, vertical row leaves a certain space, no matter from any angle to look at this team, what you see is a straight straight line, when the soldier's leg lifts down, the footsteps are just stepping on a point, the leg also forms a wave of waves, every time the foot makes a boom sound, when the continuous march is the sound of the noise, can not hear a trace of noise.

This military parade, the original Xingtian Army unified the clothing, forming a unique and spectacular beauty, and the army march originally contained a very unique aesthetics of violence, especially the form of columns, but also a display of violent aesthetics, not to mention that people in this era have rarely seen it, even if it is placed in a few hundred years later, people feel crazy about it, this is a kind of show of power, the idea conveyed is a kind of deterrence, a kind of oppression, so that the enemy is frightened to see it, After seeing it, the heart is boiling.

When they saw these infantry phalanxes appear, many onlookers were already enthusiastic, what the Ming Dynasty, they had long been thrown out of the clouds, and now they are the people of Great China, and they have such a majestic and powerful army of soldiers and horses in Great China, no one will believe that such a male army can not protect their safety, and they will no longer have to worry about living in dire straits, even if some people have not served the Heavenly Army before, But when I saw the military parade of the Xingtian Army today, they all completely surrendered to Xiao Tianjian's feet, and many people standing next to the street involuntarily had a feeling of surrender, and their knees bent, and they knelt on the ground with a hula la, and even some people sitting on the house, regardless of whether the terrain was inconvenient, also knelt on the roof, some people accidentally slipped, and fell down, and when they fell, no one dared to exclaim, only when they landed, they snorted, But he immediately got up and quickly knelt on the ground, regardless of whether others could see or see their movements.

When the infantry phalanx passed under the Yaowu Gate, the soldiers of the phalanx of the two musketeers also performed a spear splitting action with ingenuity, after the leading generals broke off their drinks, all the musketeers moved neatly under the shoulders of the guns, turned the guns, split the guns, and made three neat sounds, and in a blink of an eye, they were dazzling to complete the beautiful splitting gun action, and then look at the flintlock pistols in their hands, all of them pointed to the back of the neck of the previous row of generals, and the sharp bayonet tips were about an inch away from the back of the neck of the previous row of soldiers. If anyone falls at this moment, it will definitely cause a series of casualties, stabbing a whole row of people like a string of sugar gourds.

Many of the civil officials who watched the ceremony above the Yaowu Gate couldn't help but exclaim in fright, but the generals shouted loudly together.

What surprised Xiao Tianjian even more was that the soldiers and generals of the Yulin Guard who were lining up under the Yaowu Gate, at this time, under the sound of the iron head, also collectively pulled out their waist knives and made a downward chopping action, which coincided with the splitting spear style of the phalanx of the firecrackers, which added a lot of color to this military parade.

There are two hundred Yulinwei under the city gate, and two hundred snow-bright waist knives are chopping down at the same time, and after falling, they also happen to fall in a straight line to stop, which is even more powerful and beautiful, Xiao Tianjian secretly scolded the iron head, it turns out that this guy has not been idle these days, and he has been practicing all night with these rabbit cubs of Yulinwei, and he was also waiting for the arrival of this moment, taking advantage of the situation to show their Yulinwei's majesty, but now it seems that the effect of them doing this is very good, after all, Yulinwei is his protector, It is the army within the army of the Great Chinese Army, representing absolute glory, and their splitting style suddenly attracted the applause of many people, which can be regarded as giving Xiao Tianjian another face.

When the infantry phalanx marched through the Yaowu Gate and entered the street, the firecrackers were even more like treasures every other distance, and they came to a splitting spear style, which suddenly made the people on both sides of the street look at the hearts of the people, and the sound began to make a shocking applause, for a time the majesty of the firecrackers actually covered the majesty of the cavalry in front, and many young people from fifteen or sixteen to their twenties should join the Xingtian Army even if they make up their minds, and nothing else, this kind of majesty alone is enough for them to show off for a lifetimeAfter the parade, when the Wehrmacht ordered another recruitment, it could be said that there was a sea of people outside the recruiting office, and the number of recruits was beyond imagination, and the vast majority of them came to apply because they had seen the parade, or had heard the boasting of the people who had seen the parade.

You must know that the social status of the soldiers and those big-headed soldiers in this era is very low, under normal circumstances, if it is not because they really can't eat and want to live, ordinary people will not send their sons to be soldiers at all, and young people would rather farm than be soldiers. I also want to join the Wehrmacht.

However, this is all a later story, and in terms of the military system, Xiao Tianjian will take many new measures in the future, which will greatly enhance the social status of soldiers, so in the future, in the recruitment of soldiers, there will be no more indiscriminate recruitment of troops like in the previous dynasties and generations.

After the six infantry phalanxes, followed by a column of mules and horses, the first to appear in front of everyone was a three-pounder light cannon dragged by a horse, each cannon was followed by six gunners, the tail rack of each gun was also loaded with the ammunition of a base of this cannon, the gun carriage of this style was divided into two sections before and after, the part of the mule and horse was mainly used for ammunition, a royal hand was responsible for driving, and the artillery was directly hung on the ammunition cart in front of the army when marching, and the imperial hand shook the reins and ran away. When the gunner cooperates to unload the gun from the ammunition truck and push it into the position, it can quickly complete the preparation for deployment and firing, and the ammunition is also with it, so as to ensure that the artillery can be transferred from the marching state to the combat state in time, and it is much lighter than the artillery used by the officers and soldiers.

This kind of artillery truck Xiao Tianjian has contributed a lot of effort, and now the artillery of the Xingtian Army is directly equipped to the battalion-level units, and it can be said that Xiao Tianjian is the first to contribute to the formation of artillery.

In addition to the three-pounder guns belonging to each battalion, the artillery participating in the parade also had heavy artillery of the divisional artillery battalion, from the smallest three-pounder gun to the largest twelve-pounder gun, all participated in the display, a total of dozens of guns, all types of artillery, it pulled out a long distance, these guns were all wiped new by the gunners, and the ammunition truck was also renovated, and painted with black paint, and the gun car was also planted with a flag, which looked even more murderous and made people tremble.

Needless to say, artillery as an important branch of the Xingtian Army, in recent years, in the previous wars, artillery has played a great role, whether it is a siege war or a field battle, they can be seen everywhere, paving the way for the victory of the Xingtian Army, it can be said that it is indispensable, they participated in this military parade, no one expressed objections at all.

But what surprised many people was that the two generals who walked in front of the artillery team, a sharp-beaked monkey gills, a somewhat obscene looking general, needless to say, was the boss of the artillery of the Xingtian Army, the original despised tomb robber Huang Shengqiang, this guy relied on his ability to see feng shui, which can be used on artillery, and this guy also happens to use cannons, so over the years, he has gradually become the first gunner under Xiao Tianjian, and almost all the previous wars have his participation, for Xiao Tianjian to this day, It can be regarded as a meritorious achievement, so now he can be said to be the absolute boss of the artillery, and walking in front of the artillery team, absolutely no one can say anything.

But another person walking side by side with him was a big surprise, this guy was tall, but he had a face very different from that of the Chinese, but he was a red-haired devil who was very rare among the people, and this guy was also wearing a set of military uniforms of the Punishment Heavenly Army, with a red and white feather on the top of his head, at least in terms of military rank, he was also a town-level general, which surprised many people who did not know it.

It turns out that this guy is not an outsider, it is the red-haired devil Gao Su, a Portuguese mercenary who is known as the father of the artillery of the Xingtian Army, and his foreign name is Juan. Clio, this guy was not a military member, he was hired by Xiao Tianjian because he and Xiao Tianjian had a temper, and he was also exhausted, there was really no way out, so he served Xiao Tianjian, and even when he was hired by Xiao Tianjian, this guy was at best a temporary worker hired by Xiao Tianjian, when this guy was hired by Xiao Tianjian, he was still thinking about making a sum of money, and then took a boat to cross the ocean and go back to his hometown to show off his wealth, and use the money he earned to go back to his hometown to buy a piece of land, marry a wife, and become a farmer.
