Chapter 805: Unprecedented
It was claimed that the new army was established and the king reviewed it, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the days of the prosperity of the Oriental Han Kingdom were just around the corner.
The people, dressed in their brightest clothes, came out of the door, crowding the avenue outside the fishing village and the harbor, and many by boat from other islands.
Li Yang rode a pure black horse from the direction of Miyako Island under the protection of the majestic honor guard, and the crowd slowly poured in the direction of the viewing platform with the procession of the lord. Li Yang, who was surrounded by his subjects and climbed the high platform, enjoyed the fanatical atmosphere that permeated the air.
Today's New Year, although not as warm as the original meaning, but after giving another layer of color, it is easier to screw together civilians of different nationalities.
Proper guidance can make these civilians fight for your own interests, shed blood and sacrifice, as a superior, Li Yang is already familiar with this set.
Under the guidance of the soldiers who maintained order, the distance of 50 zhang on each side of the road was cleared as a review site, and the people were restricted from the review site by the red cloth that was pulled, and the people in the front row sat cross-legged on the ground, and the squatting and standing in the back row were lined up in turn.
On the high platform, Li Yang made three sacrifices to Shangcang with ease, read a prayer, and announced the beginning of the military exercise under the attention of all the people.
The curtain covering hundreds of meters on the side of the road was torn off at the same time, and behind the curtain stood black armor black armor black guard soldiers, two thousand people, it doesn't sound like much, but if it is concentrated in one place at the same time and stands in front of your eyes, it is not a small number.
At this moment, the number of people gathered here to watch the ceremony was about 30,000, after all, there were not too many people who had such leisure time and real status to enter the venue.
At this moment, these people are centered on the viewing platform, and the procession stretching for kilometers on both sides of the road is also spectacular in this small country.
At the sound of the majestic trumpet, the soldiers marched up the avenue in unison, and then marched forward under the guidance of the vanguard officer.
The sonorous sound of the collision of the nail leaves, the sound of heavy steps, and the constant shouting of the horns from the soldiers' mouths all made people's blood boil.
In this era, you don't need to walk particularly neatly, they are all observed with the naked eye, and there is no camera to give you multi-angle and all-round follow-up, anyway, in the eyes of the people on the side of the road, these mighty and majestic warrior arrays are very neat, and from time to time they arouse a burst of cheers in the crowd.
It is precisely because the pace does not need to be too neat that there is more room for expression.
Under the command of the leading general, the pikemen in the front row shouted "broken", and the front and rear queues began to widen the distance, and the spears were slowly flattened while the distance was widened, and finally the spears pointed straight ahead, as if to crush all the enemies.
The subsequent sword and shield hand also pulled out his waist knife and protected the shield on his chest, and the shield was painted with a bright red ghost face, and his face was hideous as if he wanted to choose someone to eat.
The crossbowmen and artillerymen followed the swordmen and shield bearers, and there were not many opportunities to shine, after all, they could not draw their bows and shoot a few arrows, or fire two shells, they could only do what they wanted, just as the missile troops in later generations could only pull a few cylinders out and hang around.
Just when all the spectators thought that all the troops under review had finished, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling in the distance was heard, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.
I saw that at the corner of a forest beside the road, a group of cavalry rushed out like lightning, they were also in the same black attire, but they were wearing light armor, and the helmets were stuck with this blood-red long feather.
There are about 300 cavalry in this team, all of them are the most elite horsemen of the Han Kingdom in the East, and the people here are not good at riding, so these cavalry are extremely difficult to train, but fortunately, after a long time of tempering, it can now be said that they have become an army.
At this moment, there was a cry of surprise from the crowd, it turned out that the cavalry did not slow down after keeping up with the group, and it was about to hit the buttocks of the gunners in front of them, and the anxious civilians shouted out, but the gunners seemed to be deaf or did not hear at all, and the tragedy was about to happen.
At this moment, Li Liang, the commander of the cavalry at the front, shouted "stop" and took the lead in pulling up the reins, and the divine horse under his crotch hissed and stopped directly and stood up on both legs.
The cavalry that followed behind also pulled the reins at the same time, and the cavalry, which looked quite imposing on this narrow road, stopped at the same time without the slightest collision.
The audience on both sides suddenly burst into cheers, and many of the invited wealthy businessmen on the viewing platform also made a burst of whispers.
Most of their respective countries are much stronger than the Oriental Han Kingdom, but in addition to the powerful navy, the Eastern Han Kingdom also has such an elite land force that makes them quite amazed.
Many of them only came to this intermediate hub later to start doing business, and at that time, the land forces of the Oriental Han Kingdom had been stationed in various places, and they had never seen the land warriors of the Oriental Han Kingdom.
After all the queues had passed, just when the crowd thought it was completely over, another cart was pushed in the distance, surrounded by a black curtain.
While everyone was whispering, several soldiers stepped forward and tore down the curtain, and an angry rhinoceros kept pacing around the cart, but the wrist-thick iron pillars around it made it unable to do anything.
Everyone gasped in amazement, although there are fierce beasts such as tigers in the East China Sea, but this rhinoceros is the most feared animal, not only has rough skin and thick meat, but also has a short temper, although it does not eat people, but there are many people who die under its hooves every year.
What are you doing with a rhinoceros on this parade day?
I saw that the soldiers in the team formed a large circle of 100 meters in an orderly manner, and the spears were forward, and the cold light was shining, deterring the beast from daring to run around.
In front of everyone, Li Liang didn't know when he had dismounted, and at this moment he stepped forward slowly and took out a black thing from a holster in his hand.
Everyone was curious about what he had pulled out. And at this moment, the rhinoceros is also a little impatient, it shakes its head from side to side, ready to find the weak point of the group in front of it, and it is ready to launch the final attack.
Li Liang is still not in a hurry, he really doesn't need to panic, this thing in his hand is ready.
Li Liang took a deep breath, and the teachings of the Lord of the Kingdom sounded in his mind, and he raised it against his shoulder,... A line of aim, pull the trigger, it's that simple.
"Boom" sounded, a burst of fire appeared in front of the black stick in Li Liang's hand, and the rhinoceros retreated back with a wail as if it had been struck by lightning, but this also stimulated its ferocity even more, and when he was about to step on the human in front of him regardless of the long roar, he didn't know when many soldiers with long sticks appeared next to a column of spearmen with their backs to the viewing platform.
