At the end of November in the first year of Taixing, a grand ceremony that shocked the world finally kicked off.

On this day, hundreds of people, parishioners, soldiers, and officials in Jicheng gathered in the main square of Jicheng to participate in the long-awaited military parade. Guests from far and wide were also notified and under the guidance of the celebrant to take their seats on the viewing platform on the left side of the high platform.

The seats behind the high platform are filled with thousands of Liaodong officials and generals, and there is a clear distinction between the civil and military sides, which are divided into two sides. The people have gathered in the opposite square, and tens of thousands of people have gathered in just one stick of incense, and the number is still increasing.

According to the Pastoral Government's estimates, at least 100,000 people will watch the military parade today, and in order to maintain order at the scene, the General's Office mobilized 10,000 government soldiers to work at the scene.

Standing on the viewing platform, the whole square is surrounded by a panoramic view, and Zhang Bin found from a distance that a large area of black pressure in front of him is full of people, just like the boundless sea, and there is no end in sight.

The hour was approaching, Wei Shuo walked slowly onto the high platform, and the high-level leaders of Liaodong led by Pei Wei, Gao Zhan, Mo Han, and Wen Qiao followed. Suddenly, there was a cheer in the whole square, and Wei Shuo stood in front and waved his hand frequently to everyone in the audience.

And Wang Dao, Zhang Bin, Song Pei, Li Shou and others on the viewing platform had different moods when they saw the scene, and Wang Dao's mood was the most complicated, looking at Wei Shuo who was enjoying the cheers of the people in front of him, for a moment he thought it was the birth of the emperor.

In Jiangzuo, it is impossible for Sima Rui to get the heartfelt support of the people, no wonder Wei Shuo dares not to put the family in his eyes.

The hour has come, and the ceremony has officially begun, first by the thirty-three elite guards formed a small phalanx, guarding a Liaodong Army battle flag from the left side of the square slowly walked. For a while, the eyes of everyone in the audience were attracted, and they saw thirty-three soldiers walking neatly to the flagpole in front of the high platform.

"Raise the military flag and sing the military song!"

With Chen An's roar, all the Liaodong people, including Wei Shuo, stood upright, and although Wang Dao and the others couldn't figure out the situation, they also got up and looked around.

After a while, a majestic drum sounded, followed by a loud singing, and everyone in the Liaodong audience roared loudly along with the drum: "...... You don't see it, the final army of the Han Dynasty, the weak crown is a captive, please Changying, you don't see it, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds! The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life? The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feather is constantly fighting! Abandon my old pen, with my wartime jin, a robe of more than 100,000, singing war songs to join the army. Clean the dust, swear to sweep away the Hulu without regard for yourself! ……”

Although the lyrics are straightforward and the tune is simple, tens of thousands of people sing in unison, which is majestic and majestic. Looking at the fanatical Liaodong people in the song, Wang Dao, Zhang Bin, Ran Zhan and others were dumbfounded, they had never seen such a scene, and everything that happened in front of them subverted the inherent concept in their hearts.

The majestic singing voice made everyone's blood boil suddenly, as the rising sun rose higher and higher, the singing was like the sun sprinkled throughout the whole world, and Wei Shuo and others bathed in the morning sun, looking sacred and solemn.

From the singing, everyone who comes to Liaodong can deeply feel the pride and unswerving belief of Liaodong people from the bottom of their hearts. And this is precisely an important reason why the outside world is afraid of Liaodong, except for Liaodong, no force in the outside world can extend its own dominance to all aspects of society like Liaodong.

When the singing stopped and the military flag was raised to the apex, the parade commander Wei Xiong came to the front of the high platform with his horse on his horse, and saluted Wei Shuo with his right arm horizontally raised: "Great Sima, the soldiers have been prepared, please show the Great Sima!" ”

"Start now!"

"No! The parade begins! ”

I heard a drum beat with a clear rhythm, and the crowd around me immediately fell silent.

Wei Shuo was wearing fish scale armor, with a sharp sword hanging from his waist, standing on a high platform, standing solemnly, looking majestic.

Under the morning sun, the phalanx composed of 150 students of the Martial Arts Academy walked with neat steps, slowly driving from the left side of the square to the high platform in the middle.

Wei Shuo pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed diagonally to the sky, and under his gaze, the phalanx of cadets slowly walked across the high platform, circled around the square, and then returned to the left to line up.

After the phalanx of cadets came 500 lightly armed infantrymen, the sword and shield bearers were dressed in standard paper armor, the round shield in their left hand was close in front of them, and the ring head sword in their right hand stood on the right side of their body. The sword and shield soldiers are an extremely important part of the Liaodong Army, shouldering the important task of protecting the safety of spearmen and crossbowmen on the battlefield, and at the same time they are the main force of the siege of the city.

After the sword and shield soldiers, the famous crossbowmen were terrorized. In recent years, with the invincibility of the Liaodong army, the power of its crossbowmen has been feared by all parties, the crossbow is the most profound impression of the Liaodong army by the outside world, the Xianbei people, the Huns, the Di people and so on have all been hit hard by the Liaodong crossbowmen.

Looking at the phalanx composed of all kinds of bed crossbows slowly coming, the guests from all sides suddenly felt their breathing tight, and Wang Dao, Zhang Bin, Song Pei, Li Shou and others all stared at the bed crossbow with hot eyes. Zhang Bin was fortunate that he knew very well that it was impossible for Liaodong to sell the bed crossbow to the Hu people, and Wang Dao and Song Peike couldn't sit still.

Wang Dao felt that Shi Le was raising troops to the south at present, seriously threatening the safety of the Jianghuai area, if he could get some bed crossbows back and place them on Hefei, Xuyi, Shouchun and other cities to help defend the city, it would be able to greatly strengthen the local defense. And Song Pei thought that if the Liangzhou army also had such a sharp crossbow to cooperate, why was he afraid of the small countries in the Western Regions?

After the crossbowmen, spearmen, longbowmen, and light cavalry walked across the high platform one by one, and each branch of the army was warmly cheered by the people on the spot. Soon the military parade was carried out at the last moment, when there was a heavy footstep from the left side of the square, and a dignified murderous aura came from a distance. General Ran Zhan's eyes narrowed, staring at the slowly approaching military formation.

"Under the Mo knife, everyone is broken!"

As soon as the Mo Dao Hand appeared, the people at the scene immediately let out the most enthusiastic cheers. In Liaodong, there has always been: non-brave people can not enter the Mo knife team, non-fierce generals can not be called Mo knife generals, so Mo knife hands have a high reputation in Liaodong, and there are various legends related to Mo knife hands among the folks.

For example, Liu Yao, the first Mo sword general, is rumored to be not only powerful but also has three heads and six arms, and has the means to kill demons and eliminate demons, which is the best choice to ward off evil spirits and exorcise ghosts.

Looking at the Mo Dao phalanx wearing heavy armor and holding a Mo knife, walking like a mountain, Ran Zhan's face was solemn, as a general of the army, he was very aware of the sniper ability of the hoplites against the Hu light cavalry. Under normal circumstances, it was difficult for the Hu cavalry, which was dominated by light cavalry, to break through the hoplite phalanx head-on. On the contrary, the hoplites could rely on the Mo knife in their hands to make the light cavalry, which had lost its speed advantage, become the target of slaughter.

If the hoplites only made everyone present feel a great pressure, when the heavy cavalry appeared, everyone felt as if they were going to suffocate.

The Liaodong heavy cavalry, including war horses, were all covered in iron armor, and from a distance they were steel fortresses. Each knight was armed with a steel spear, and the heavy hooves of their horses slammed into the concrete floor with a roar.

"Liaodong weapons and armor are all over the world, and they really deserve their reputation!" Director Wang, Song Pei and others muttered to themselves, wishing they had all of them for themselves.

When the hoplites passed through the platform, the entire parade had gathered in the square to form a huge rectangle.

At this time, Wei Shuo, who had been standing on the high platform, withdrew his sword from the scabbard, got off the high platform, rode on a war horse under Chen An's guard, and patrolled from the left side of the square to the right side. He crossed his right hand across his chest and swept in front of phalanxes, each time eliciting a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Sword and shield soldiers, longbow soldiers, crossbow soldiers, sword soldiers, light cavalry, and heavy cavalry shouted.

As Wei Shuo's figure galloped by, the voice rose higher and higher. When Wei Shuo walked to the right, the entire square immediately fell into a rainbow of cheers.

So far, the entire military parade has ended successfully, leaving countless memories worth remembering for the people of Liaodong. At the same time, Zhang Bin, who came into contact with Liaodong for the first time, was deeply touched, and at the same time felt extremely pessimistic about the future of Xiangguo.
