After all the people in the room were gone, Shi Jinshui immediately beckoned to the three marshals under him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing this, the three of them stepped forward one after another and came to Shi Jinshui's body. And what Shi Jinshui said to them next surprised the three of them.

However, they were surprised, after listening to Shi Jinshui's words, they did not hesitate and immediately acted according to the other party's orders.

Thus, before the first Olympic Games held in New Carthage, a great purge began to unfold in New Carthage, and within a day, hundreds of military officers were secretly arrested, including several students and disciples of Shi Jinshui. And they were arrested along with those of the Yueshi team and some unidentified outsiders, who, according to some people familiar with the matter, looked like the leaders of the former Roman and Greek factions.

What is even more surprising is that all of these arrested people were secretly executed on the same day without going through the normal process of trial.

This result, combined with the gossip that their King Shi Jinshui was suddenly seriously injured, immediately made those people make up a big drama in their minds about plotting a coup d'état but unfortunately failing.

Because of this sudden incident, Shi Jinshui no longer had the interest to participate in the Olympic Games, and after his injuries improved slightly, he immediately called Obama and asked him to start the formal formation of the musket unit.

In the case of concentrating the country's skilled craftsmen, Shi Jinshui finally got his wish by developing the first rear-loading flintlock rifle a few months ago, although this is still a single-shot rifle, but after testing, the rate of fire is much faster than the front-loading rifle. In the hands of trained soldiers, it is capable of firing eight times a minute. So after the test was completed, Shi Jinshui finally decided to officially form his own musket unit.

The military commander of this unit had already been determined, that is, Obama, and the officers were selected from the earliest musket team of only 100 men.

Obama couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that Shi Jinshui had finally agreed to formally form a musket unit. I don't know why, although he is usually very timid, but once the musket is in hand, the whole person immediately becomes bolder, the enemy soldiers who have died under his guns over the years are not a thousand but eight hundred, and these people are at least officers above the centurion, he is in the battlefield, playing the role of a sniper, once he sees that the enemy general or officer is more difficult, he will immediately shoot the other party to death. And as soon as he takes out these difficult thorns, the war will immediately develop in his favor.

After being a sniper for so many years, he also has a deep understanding of the lethality of muskets, so he believes that as long as the scale of this arm increases, then its burst of combat effectiveness will definitely overshadow all other arms. So now that he hears that Shi Jinshui is finally going to officially form a musket unit, can he not be happy!

With Shi Jinshui's full support, it took only a few days for Ohama to select 5,000 soldiers from various units and fill his musketeer unit. The next step is to start all kinds of training, training the use of muskets, a new weapon, training the key to three-stage shooting, in short, to make this unit combat effective as soon as possible. Because Ohama saw from Shi Jinshui's recent behavior that his lord had moved his killing intent because of the accident not long ago, a big battle must not be far away, and he didn't want his musket troops to miss this battle.

Facts have proved that Obama guessed correctly, and soon after the end of the Olympic Games, Shi Jinshui immediately set a battle plan called 'Oriental Peacekeeping', although the name of this battle plan is peacekeeping, but everyone knows that this is an expedition plan. I didn't see Egypt after the first peacekeeping, except for Seleucus and Pontus. Armenia, Parthia, and other factions have all been wiped out! And this time the unlucky ones are obviously the Yue's people who touched Shi Jinshui's head of the mold, as for the other factions along the way, if they obediently return to obedience, it is okay to say, but if they don't cooperate, then they can only be counted as unlucky, and they will be destroyed together.

The number of troops in New Carthage has increased many times compared to more than five years ago, and the number of regular soldiers alone is 500,000, not counting the militia units responsible for policing in various places, and the number may reach more than a million if you add the troops of the vassal states of Thrace, Pontus, and Seleucus.

In the end, after some discussion, New Carthage decided to send 300,000 troops, and its four vassal brothers also sent 300,000 troops, forming a peacekeeping army with a scale of 600,000, all the way to the east to maintain peace.

At this time, most of the representatives of those countries who participated in the Olympic Games had not left, so in order to deter these countries, Shi Jinshui waved his hand, and immediately after the Olympic Games, a military parade was held to show the strong military strength of New Carthage.

At Shi Jinshui's invitation, the delegates of the countries who remained in New Carthage all agreed to participate in the parade. In fact, the representatives of these countries were also quite curious about the military strength of New Carthage, although they had long heard from the mouths of those merchants who came and went from various places how elite the army of the overlord of the Mediterranean region was, and how advanced and sharp the weapons and equipment were. In the past wars, it was often won more with less, and the enemy was defeated or something. But if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you still can't make them believe it completely. Now, New Carthage has taken the initiative to hold a military parade, and they can take this opportunity to get a glimpse of the military power of this Mediterranean hegemon.

After more than half a month of preparation, the military parade held on the whim of Shi Jinshui finally officially opened. With a rhythmic drum beat, the first unit to be read followed by neat steps and entered everyone's sight.

This unit is a copycat version of the Roman legionary infantry that Shi Jinshui created after using his Iberian infantry in the early days to replace them with captured equipment. I think that when he first established the Carthaginian faction, this army could be said to be the most elite force in his hands. However, to this day, this copycat version of the legionary infantry, both in terms of combat skills and equipment level, has surpassed the genuine Roman legionnaires.

I saw that the infantry of the cottage army back then was now all wearing a heavy full-body plate armor, wrapping themselves from head to toe in an incomparably strong layer of iron. And their weapons have also changed from the original bronze short sword to a dog-leg knife made of stainless steel, these uniquely shaped machetes, the blades all shimmer with a stunning cold light, which makes people feel full of lethality at a glance. As for the other two pieces of equipment, the Heavy Javelin and the Great Shield have not changed, but the materials used to make them have become better.

There are more than 50,000 such cottage legion infantry in New Carthage today, and now it is 1,000 people who have been carefully selected from these 50,000 people who have come to be read. At the front of the phalanx, the commander and his lieutenant general walked in the forefront, and on the side of the table, was the flag officer holding the battle flag. When the phalanx came to the bottom of the high platform where Shi Jinshui was, the commander who led the team suddenly shouted: "Salute to King Shi Jinshui!" As he spoke, he swooped out the command knife at his waist and pointed at the king Shi Jinshui, who was watching them fixedly on the high platform.

And the other soldiers behind him, after his words fell, also turned their heads to look at Shi Jinshui on the high platform.

Facing everyone's gaze, Shi Jinshui raised his right hand and waved it lightly, which was a response to the soldiers under him.

Although they only waved their hands lightly, the many soldiers below raised their swords in their hands excitedly, as if they had received the best reward, and struck hard at the shield, shouting in unison: "The king is mighty!" ”

Seeing this scene, the representatives of those other countries couldn't help but have a look of surprise in their eyes, and they felt a little incredible about the great prestige of Shi Jinshui, the leader of New Carthage, among the soldiers. How would they know that unlike other faction leaders, Shi Jinshui, a self-made king, can be said to have fought all the way, and in many cruel wars, he, the king, fought on the front line with the soldiers at the bottom. Therefore, those low-level soldiers are all extremely fond and supportive of Shi Jinshui.

As the first unit participating in the parade passed through the high platform, the second unit gradually appeared in everyone's sight, and like the first troop, it was also a thousand people, lined up in a standard phalanx. And this army, the first to appear in everyone's eyes, was the rows of towering guns. That's right, this force is the barbarian pikemen unit founded by Shi Jinshui with hundreds of barbarian mercenaries as the team after he just created the faction. This army, in all the battles over the years, has also made many meritorious achievements, and countless enemies have fallen in front of their rock-solid guns. And now this army that is slowly approaching, from a distance, it seems to be like a big mountain, solid and heavy, unshakable. The phalanx pikemen, a branch of the army that has been brilliant since the time of Alexander the Great, are still stubbornly exuding its last rays, relying on its unparalleled frontal carrying ability, occupying an extremely important place among many new arms.

After coming to the high platform, this unit did not hit any shield with its weapon like the previous infantry of the cottage legion, but suddenly changed from the original regular march to a straight walk. Every step is lifted high and stepped down. Just like its style on the battlefield, although the mobility is extremely poor and the movement is slow, every step forward, it is like a thousand pounds, and the point of the gun forest naturally gives people an irresistible illusion.

As the phalanx pikemen slowly passed through the high platform, the third unit of the parade also unconsciously entered everyone's sight. Like the barbarian pikemen before him, this was also a mercenary unit that Shi Jinshui relied heavily on in the early days, and that was the Cretan archer unit. Unlike the previous two melee troops draped in full-body plate armor, in order not to affect their physical dexterity, these Cretan archers wore only a half-body plate armor, and their main weapons were a longbow and a steel dagger that was almost a man high, and on their backs, they carried two bags of feathered arrows, one of which was a light arrow for projectile and the other was a heavy armor-piercing arrow for direct fire. In Luo Zhan, Cretan archers can be said to be the most favorite mercenaries hired by players, and their powerful long-range output ability is the undisputed first among all archer troops, and the other two archer troops are known as the three top archers of Luo Zhan. The other two archers with the same name, one is the Gallic hunters, the other is the Egyptian chosen archers, one of them has excellent anti-cavalry ability because they are equipped with short spears, and the other is known for their strong defensive capabilities, but unfortunately now the two factions of Gaul and Egypt have been wiped out by Shi Jinshui, so it can now be said that the Cretan archers are the only top archer troops in the Mediterranean.
