Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Military Parade Before the Great War (Part II)

Qu Jing is a mother who has just settled in Guo Dafu's territory, and the survivor camp where she used to live has been completely destroyed by the impact of the beast tide.

That is, she was lucky enough to take her six-year-old son all the way to Guo Dafu's territory, and finally settled down again.

But in the past few days, she has heard that a fierce beast king called the greedy wolf king has sent an envoy over, saying that he wants their lord to surrender, otherwise he will send a large army to completely destroy his territory.

This made Qu Jing very worried, this day I heard that there was going to be a military parade in the territory, Qu Jing was not in a hurry to go over like others, but first fed his son breakfast, and then took the other party's little hand and slowly rushed to the parade site along the flow of people.

By the time Qu Jing arrived at her destination, there were already tens of thousands of people here, as the so-called tens of thousands of people were boundless, Qu Jing looked at so many people, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved. After all, the survivor camp where she was originally located was relatively large in the surrounding area, but it only had a population of a thousand, which was completely incomparable with Guo Dafu's territory.

With such a large population, Qu Jing felt that there would definitely be no fewer soldiers under this lord, and the territory should not be so easy to attack.

Just when Qu Jing found a place with fewer people and just stood still, Guo Dafu also appeared on the high platform that had just been erected yesterday in front of him, carrying a big horn rolled up with iron sheets in his hand.

After putting this simple megaphone to his lips, Guo Dafu did not speak at length with some leaders, and said straight to the point: "I announce that the first military parade of the Qinglong Principality will start now!" ”

After hearing Guo Dafu's shout, the troops who had already been prepared for the parade immediately drove out of the barracks one by one in the order agreed in advance.

Guo Dafu deliberately put the most powerful troops behind, so naturally the militia troops were the first to appear.

Although it is said to be a militia force, the militia under Guo Dafu's command is also all wearing armor, mainly those bone scale type 1 armor and chest armor eliminated by the field troops.

According to the different types of troops, it was divided into three small phalanxes of 100 people, the first phalanx was a crossbowman unit holding a winch heavy crossbow and wearing a steel knife around his waist.

The second phalanx consisted of spearmen armed with spears and large shields in their skins, with short swords hanging from their waists.

The third phalanx is a unit of sword and shield soldiers armed with round steel shields and steel knives, and a bag of javelins on their backs.

Although most of these militiamen are not high-strength, they can be successfully selected, and they are all tall, and the food in the army is much better than that of ordinary people, and they will be able to eat meat tomorrow, so they are all red and full of energy.

The seemingly useless basic queue training that Guo Dafu had been paying attention to before, such as standing in line and walking in the right step, finally came in handy at this time, making these militiamen walk very neatly, so that ordinary people who don't know what military affairs will look at and feel that these soldiers are very elite and can fight.

After all, the most important thing in cold weapon warfare is to be able to order and prohibit, whether it is attacking or retreating, the formation must be kept unchaotic.

When these soldiers passed by the high platform where Guo Dafu was, they also raised their hands and saluted Guo Dafu, the lord.

Guo Dafu glanced at the soldiers with a serious expression, and also raised his hand to return the salute.

After the militia troops passed, it was the turn of the real field elite troops, and the first to appear were those lightweight war beast troops, which were also the first three major war beast groups to be subdued by Guo Dafu, namely the bone spur wild dog, the giant chicken dragon and the iron-scaled pangolin.

Although these war beasts are small in size and belong to the lightweight war beast troops, their bodies are also completely wrapped in armor, and in order to reduce weight, most of them are made of relatively light bone armor and fierce beast scale armor, and the vital parts of the head and chest are strong steel armor.

Among them, the bone spur wild dog and the giant chicken dragon war beast have a high appearance rate on the battlefield, because these two war beasts have the largest number, and the number under Guo Dafu's command is now more than 5,000. And the iron-scaled pangolin, there are not many of them, only about 800 so far, and most of them are assigned to the engineering troops, and some are responsible for helping to dig the foundation and moat when the city is being built.

Guo Dafu considered that there were not many of these iron-scaled pangolins and he was not very keen on combat, so he didn't force them to fight on the frontal battlefield, anyway, helping to build in the rear was also a contribution to the territory!

These fierce beasts, originally very vicious and vicious, are now equipped with sophisticated armor and shining metal claw sleeves, and they have an even more powerful aura, which makes people daunting.

Some people whose homes were once destroyed by fierce beasts watched these war beasts pass by, and they couldn't help but recall the sad past, and their legs trembled a little.

Fortunately, there were some residents with more advanced qualifications who introduced the great exploits of these war beasts to the newcomers, and saw that even these vicious war beasts still had to obediently line up in a neat formation at the parade and accept the inspection of their lords, these people finally eliminated the fear in their hearts and settled down to continue watching the parade.

Qu Jing is one of them, after all, she has seen her husband bite off his neck alive by a bone spur wild dog, so naturally she will have a great psychological shadow on these fierce beasts.

Under the explanation of a middle-aged man not far from her, Qu Jingcai was not frightened and ran away with her son.

After the middle-aged man finished talking about the great exploits of those war beasts, those war beasts also quickly passed the parade platform, and the human troops in the rear began to gradually appear outline.

At the head of these human forces are spear and shield troops armed with spears and large shields, and wearing heavy full-body plate armor. On the battlefield, these warriors have always been the solid flesh shield of the entire army, using their large shields and heavy armor to resist the onslaught of all kinds of enemies, and to win opportunities for other troops in the rear to export.

Whether it is the steel square shield more than one meter long in their hands, or the heavy full-body plate armor on their bodies, the weight is very amazing, so it also makes the pace of these spear and shield soldiers seem extraordinarily heavy, when they slowly pass in front of the onlookers, it seems that a steel city wall is moving slowly, and the sharp spears that stand up straight and shine with cold glow are also telling everyone that they are not only able to defend, relying on these sharp spears, They will also constantly look for opportunities to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy while defending.

Behind the spear and shield soldiers, there are sword and shield troops, but because Guo Dafu has encountered many fierce beasts now, they are all rough and thick-skinned, so in order to improve the armor-breaking ability of the sword and shield troops, Guo Dafu prepared two sets of melee weapons for them, one of which is a straight-edged steel knife to deal with those unarmored and lightly armored targets, and the other is a mace to deal with those heavy-armored targets with rough skin and thick flesh, and although the shield in their hands is a little smaller than that of the spear and shield soldiers, it is also made of stainless steel, and the front of the shield is a smooth arc, combined with the superb combat skills of these sword and shield soldiers, it is easy to unload most of the enemy's attack power. In addition, most of these sword and shield soldiers will also carry several throwing weapons such as javelins and throwing axes, which can give the enemy a wave of long-range strikes before engaging the enemy, which has the effect of weakening the enemy's morale.

Behind the sword and shield soldiers, they were naturally followed by the crossbowmen, among whom the crossbowmen were equipped with winch heavy crossbows and a long-handled war knife, and the archers were equipped with a compound war bow and a moon blade axe, plus they were also wearing steel plate armor, which were obviously elite ranged troops with not weak melee capabilities.

The onlookers couldn't help but let out bursts of cheers when they looked at these elite warriors who really belonged to their human race.

However, most of these elite field soldiers, who were composed of pioneer soldiers, did not squint in the face of a burst of cheers, as if they were emotionless robots, they maintained a neat formation and slowly drove to the bottom of the high platform, and after exchanging a military salute with Guo Dafu, the lord, they gradually left everyone's sight.

At this time, the sound of wheels also sounded, and it turned out that the next thing to appear was the chariot unit, which was a special force mixed with humans and fierce beasts.

Those iron-backed wild boars pulling carts can be regarded as another war beast with a large number of Guo Dafu, and now there are about more than 3,000 heads, if the war beasts such as bone spur wild dogs and giant chicken dragons are lightweight players, then these iron-backed wild boars are heavyweights, and their body length after adulthood is at least two meters or more, and their strength is about six times the day after tomorrow, with a body of brute strength.

Because these iron-backed wild boars have brute strength, the armor on their bodies is naturally made of steel, and the thickness is much higher than that of human soldiers' plate armor, especially the metal fangs that are about a meter long, making these iron-backed wild boars extremely powerful in terms of defense and attack.

As Gongsun Lie, who almost single-handedly created this type of army, he stood on the first wild boar chariot to participate in the parade, and he was wearing a set of extraordinary armor made of black-scaled dragon beast scales and bones.

The crowd of onlookers, looking at these chariot troops, whether they were pulling the chariot or the chariot troops whose husks were wrapped in steel, suddenly became even more excited, with such a strong chariot troops, what enemy would not be able to break through!

The chariot troops were followed by the heavy cavalry troops, only to see a six-legged iron hoof beast wearing heavy armor, under the control of the riders on its back, lined up in a neat formation, with light and elegant steps, slowly came to the eyes of the onlookers.

Compared with the chariot troops, the heavy cavalry units are less rude and murderous, but more handsome and chic.

Because Guo Dafu now has a small number of cavalry, and he has trained his early 200s so far, these cavalry are basically all-rounders, and they carry a lot of weapons and miscellaneous, I saw them carrying a riding spear, riding bows and feather arrows hanging on their waists, and on the specially built weapon rack on the saddle side, there are also sabers, maces and long-handled glaives and other weapons. Fortunately, the six-legged ironhoof beasts are strong enough and powerful enough, otherwise they would not have been able to carry such a large pile of weapons.

Seeing the appearance of the cavalry unit that he had spent a lot of effort to build, Guo Dafu couldn't help but show a smile of relief on his face. I have to say that the sense of accomplishment that I have developed is indeed not comparable to ordinary happiness! Seeing this cavalry unit grow from scratch and grow little by little, Guo Dafu couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment and pride in his heart.
