Chapter 235: The Great Military Parade 2
When Luo Li and the three of them appeared on the street below Yaowumen at the front of the parade, Xiao Tianjian, who was standing at the front of the Yaowumen review platform at this time, involuntarily straightened his body, and then raised his right hand, put his chest on his chest, and made a standard Xingtian Army military salute.
Although today is the day of Xiao Tianjian's yellow robe, Xiao Tianjian still insisted on putting on a set of stainless steel mountain armor before he came to Yaowumen, but in order to distinguish his identity, the officials of the Ministry of Rites took it upon themselves to paste a layer of gold leaf on the outside of the mountain armor to make it appear golden, plus Xiao Tianjian himself is also quite good-looking, tall and burly, after wearing this set of gold armor on the top helmet and hanging armor, he put on a golden cloak behind him, and he really has a god-like temperament, It makes people have to have a desire to bow down.
When he saw the banner of the Xingtian Army appear, Xiao Tianjian raised his hand and saluted, and the generals and Yulin guards who accompanied him all raised their hands and saluted at the same time, and there was a neat uproar above the Yaowu Gate, and even the civil officials immediately bowed their heads slightly and saluted this banner of the Xingtian Army.
When Luo Lidang walked to the front of the Yaowu Gate, he looked up at the top of the city gate tower with a side face, and when he saw Xiao Tianjian leading a group of civil and military officials saluting the banner of the Xingtian Army in his hand, he immediately shouted: "Long live my emperor!" Hooray! Immediately, Liu Yaoben, Shi Ran, and the generals who were paraded behind him also immediately roared at the same time.
This roar rushed up to the sky like rolling thunder, and some civilian officials who were a little weaker couldn't help but have a general feeling of wanting to be swept over by this wave of sound, especially some old officials of the Ming Dynasty who had only recently surrendered to Xiao Tianjian, and they were even more shocked by the momentum of the Xingtian Army, most of them often like to call themselves known soldiers, and they have also seen a lot of officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but when they really saw the majesty of the Xingtian Army parade today, they knew that they were just a frog at the bottom of the well!
The officers and soldiers they have seen before are compared with the current soldiers of the Xingtian Army, they can simply be called a bunch of rotten vegetables, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a rabble, they finally understand such a big Ming, why they have repeatedly taken the Xingtian Army without a way, watching the huge country and mountains being taken by the Xingtian Army like this, they are also armies, but the gap between them is too big, this is not only the difference in equipment and training, but more importantly, the momentum of the two sides is too far apart.
When Luo Li, Liu Yaoben, and Shi Ran walked through the Yaowu Gate, they were followed by five hundred infantry troops, these infantry of the Xingtian Army, all of them were in black clothes and black armor, and they were all wearing the kind of plate armor unique to the Xingtian Army, and each of them held a low-hanging banner in their hands, these flags were of different colors, and many of them were tattered, but the discerning people could see that most of these banners were the flags of the three armies of the Ming Dynasty and the generals. What is more conspicuous is that there are two red and white flags in the center, and those who know how can see at a glance that these flags are not the flags of the Ming Dynasty officials, but more like the flags used by the Tartars, so they immediately understood the significance of these flags taken out by the 500 infantry troops.
These 500 flags can be said to represent the history of the Xingtian Army for so many years, each of which represents a major war that the Xingtian Army has experienced, a few years later, under the leadership of Xiao Tianjian, the Xingtian Army has not known how many battles have been fought, how many official troops and the Tartar army have been defeated, which has established the current Great China, this team of infantry is actually showing off the strength of the Xingtian Army and their glorious war history to the people of the world, to a certain extent, it is also a ceremony of dedication, so that everyone knows, The Xingtian Army was unstoppable and invincible, and the people who saw it suddenly felt a sense of pride rising from the bottom of their hearts, and they were glad that they could be one of them, and everyone had an expression of pride on their faces.
With the Xianjie team passed under the Yaowu Gate, there were two cavalry teams of 500 people each, among this team, the first team was led by Li Lingfeng, representing the first town of the National Defense Army, among the soldiers and horses of the towns of the Xingtian Army, the cavalry of the first town undoubtedly made the most elite and powerful, the first town now has a total of at least 20,000 cavalry, part of the direct subordinate general Yan Chongxi, and the rest belong to Wang Chengping and Li Lingfeng, the two generals under the command of Xiao, this time the first town was ordered to send troops to Nanjing City to participate in the military parade, Because of their large scale, Xiao Tianjian finally allowed them to send 500 cavalry and 500 infantry soldiers to Nanjing City to participate in the military parade together.
And this cavalry is the five hundred cavalry sent by their command, and all of them have changed into brand new cavalry cuirass and standard Wehrmacht uniforms, each cavalry is also draped with a black cloak behind it, only the various feathers on their heads indicate that their ranks are different, among which Li Lingfeng, who walked in front of the team, is also a red and white feather, which means that he is the deputy commander of the first town, and among the rest of the generals, there are red feathers that represent the identity of the battalion generals. There are also yellow feathers representing the company commander (formerly called the sentry general), and many are blue feathers representing the team commander and white feathers representing the commander of the army, of course, there are also black feathers representing the general soldiers, it can be seen that these people are the elite from various armies, representing the generals of various military ranks, but one thing is certain, the people who can be drawn to accept this parade are not greedy for life and afraid of death, it can be determined that they are all people with military merits.
In addition to the uniform clothing and armor, each of them was also issued a long spear, and next to their saddle, there was also a spontaneous fire handcuff stuck in the leather bag on the left and right, which was actually a flintlock pistol, and there was a saber inserted in the leather sheath in front of the left side of the saddle, and behind the saddle there was a cavalry shield painted with a hideous face, which was used as their secondary weapon, so to speak, and armed them to the teeth, and no one suspected that they were just here to put on a show, Because everyone invisibly exudes a fierce aura, and only those who have experienced a hundred battles can have such a temperament.
Although they come from different teams, but today's parade formation is quite neat, including the cavalry team of 500 people belonging to the Guards behind, these thousand cavalry are all good at controlling horses, and the horses that sit down are also very obedient.
The appearance of the two cavalry teams once again caused a cheer from the civil and military officials above the Yaowu Gate, especially those generals, who all want to have such a cavalry unit, the cavalry in this era still belongs to the most sharp soldiers and horses among all branches of the military, when they see that the Xingtian Army already has such a majestic cavalry team, it is difficult to calm them down.
After the two standard cavalry teams, it is still a cavalry team, but the equipment of this cavalry team is relatively simple, the cavalry only wears a standard military uniform, but there is no armor outside, everyone is also holding a dazzling sabre, on the side of the saddle is hung a long and short two flintlock pistols, immediately not equipped with a shield, but equipped with a lasso, some civil officials do not understand, but among the generals can see the identity of this light cavalry at a glance, Because they are all the elite of the various departments of the Xingtian Army, if they are placed in the later generations, they are the generals of the scout team belonging to the special forces sequence, and the leader is not someone else, it is Lin Luo who succeeded Shi Ran, every soldier in this team is an elite selected from the scouts from all over the world, these people can be said to be the strongest people in the Xingtian Army, and they are all murderous, although their queue is not as neat as the cavalry in front, But everyone exudes an unruly temperament, and there is a strong murderous aura faintly, saying that they are the most murderous people in the Xingtian Army, it may not be too much, but these people generally do not wear the uniforms of the Xingtian Army, most of the time they either walk or ride horses, and they want to appear in front of the Xingtian Army brigade as civilians or sneak into the enemy territory to find out the news of the enemy army, so their mortality rate is also the highest in the Xingtian Army, Each can be described as a lone hero.
But today, they all put on the official uniforms of the Wehrmacht, participated in this big military parade, at the beginning even some people did not count them, and then Xiao Tianjian personally mentioned them, and ordered all departments to select scouts, can not be in the original parade quota, this will be the elite scouts from all over the country selected to Nanjing to participate in this parade, and they are only ranked after the regular cavalry, all equipped with war horses and standard weapons to appear, so that these scouts are all grateful, One by one, they took out the best performances on weekdays, and appeared in front of everyone with high spirits.
In particular, when some of the more timid people saw them appear in front of them, they were only rushed by the murderous aura emanating from them, and some of them were frightened over the wall as soon as they leaned up.
After the cavalry and scouts, there are six infantry phalanxes, each infantry phalanx is composed of twenty-five people in a horizontal row and twenty people in a vertical row, just five hundred people in each infantry phalanx, two of which are pikemen, two phalanxes are sword players, and two phalanxes are firecrackers, all of which are equipped with the standard cuirasses produced by the Criminal Heavenly Army at the moment, with a pair of short boots on their feet, and the leggings unique to the Criminal Heavenly Army, although their appearance is rough, and some people even have scars on their faces, which looks a little hideous. However, their eyes were very firm, and their faces were filled with a proud expression that only the victorious division could show, from top to bottom they looked very capable, and the generals in these phalanxes could be seen from the feathers above their heads that many of them belonged to the officer sequence, including the generals drawn from various towns, and the generals in the Guards, all of whom could be said to be heroes, and had received the most rigorous training of the Xingtian Army.
