The heavy footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the people who were looking forward to it finally saw the march clearly. Three hundred large men in heavy armor walked over with a strange long weapon. They held the handle of their sword about eight feet long tightly to the middle of their right arms, and the sharp double-edged blade pointed upwards, already high above the heads of the sergeants, forming a shocking forest of knives in the air. This group of sergeants walked very slowly, and did not walk like the phalanxes in front of them with the characteristics of Beifu, but walked step by step unhurriedly, if they were not so neat and dignified, it is estimated that everyone would think that they were a group of "crazy people" who came out for a walk with weapons on their shoulders.

Ran Cao, Murong Ke and others quickly inquired about it, this is the legendary Mo Dao Hand. They hadn't fought against Mo Dao Men on the battlefield, so they didn't know the true power of Mo Dao Hands.

Isn't it just a group of big men who are more majestic? Isn't it just carrying a relatively unique long weapon? It's not necessarily that powerful, and it's like five or six people coming over, much worse than the previous team of sergeants. Ran Cao thought secretly with disdain.

But Murong Ke stared blankly at the group of Mo Dao Hands who came over, his eagle-eyed eyes revealing a gaze that tried to analyze everything. There should be a reason why Mo Daoshou has a high status in Beifu, but outsiders don't know it very well.

At this time, the onlookers didn't care what Ran Cao, Murong Ke and the others thought, they couldn't help but cheer when they saw the legendary Mo Dao Hand. In Beifu, it is a very honorable and affordable thing for young and strong to become a government soldier, after all, the preferential treatment of free land and land during the service of the government soldier is there. and can become a Zhenbei sergeant who is exempt from salary. It was like smoke coming from the ancestral tomb. Among the soldiers in Zhenbei, Mo Dao Hand, Tan Heavy Cavalry, and Su Guard Army are the three most popular and respected types of soldiers, especially Mo Dao Hand, which has not only become a legend in the army, but also a myth among the people.

So when the Mo Dao Hand team appeared in the square, tens of thousands of people immediately let out an overwhelming cheer, they were of course excited to see their idols at such a close distance, and the excitement in their hearts could only be expressed with cheers.

Hear the overwhelming cheers. Wang Meng and other officials and generals in the northern province have become accustomed to it. Still sitting there very quietly. And Ran Cao, Murong Ke and others are a little unaccustomed. Why are these people in Beifu so enthusiastic? When he saw a group of people walking out with long knives, they cheered loudly. Although these people look very fierce and murderous, it is not so.

In the cheers, Mo Daoshou walked to the left side of the square, and then stopped with a "Teng", and with a shout, he turned to the right and faced the viewing platform. Finally, the long knife was neatly slammed to the ground, and the end of the handle and the ground made a loud "bang" sound, which made everyone's hearts tremble.

After the Mo knife hand, there was a tun of soldiers, and three hundred soldiers of the province were also lined up in a phalanx, holding a round shield in their left hand and a Pu knife in their right hand, and they also walked over with a rainbow of momentum.

Behind the government soldiers were cavalry, which was the most common light cavalry in Beifu. Wearing leather armor. Carrying a horned bow and quiver on his back, and carrying a saber on his shoulder, he rode his horse with great vigour. The distance between each ride is almost the same. The sound of horses' hooves from the three hundred mounts was so rhythmic that it was like a chorus.

Seeing this appearance, Murong Ke, who knew the cavalry well, couldn't help but squint his eyes, looking at the Beifu light cavalry who was slowly riding his horse and walking over thoughtfully. And Ran Cao, who was sitting in front of him and had been slandering, couldn't help but become dignified. The Beifu cavalry is the most familiar to them, and in Weichang that year, the Beifu cavalry swept away the Yan army that was about to win with a straight fall of nine days, changing the outcome of the battle that had already been seen.

These Beifu cavalry were still the same, with fur fur and fur hats under their black leather armor and helmets, and if it weren't for the standard horned bows and sabers, everyone would have thought that these people were just herdsmen who had accidentally taken the wrong path.

Behind the hussars were the lancers. The lancers wore the same leather armor and fur hats, except that they had an extra seven-foot spear in their hands, which was held straight by the horseman's right hand. The red pennants fluttering in the wind under the tips of the spears of the forest were a dazzling sight, contrasting with the white feathers on their helmets.

Behind the lancers were heavy cavalry. The cavalrymen were dressed in black iron armor and wore iron bucket helmets, but the hood of the helmets was lifted to reveal the cavalry's ground eyes.

Each cavalryman held a thick spear nearly twelve feet long in his right hand. There is also a red pennant under the tip of the spear of the tree facing straight into the sky, fluttering in the wind in the higher space. The mounts under their seats were much taller and more majestic than ordinary war horses, and they were covered with a layer of leather armor embedded with iron armor from the head to the rump. And the most striking thing is the parasitic flag on the horse's rump that resembles a pair of red wings.

The heavy horse's hooves hit the bluestone ground hard, and it also hit everyone's hearts, especially Murong and Ran Cao. That year, the Beifu cavalry surged like a black sea, and this heavy cavalry, known as the exploration army, was like a heavy hammer, effortlessly smashing the Yan army.

Murong Ke and Ran Cao each had their own thoughts, and looked at the iron horse in front of them that made people fearful, just a look of reluctance, a look of greed.

When the hoplites were also in formation, all the parade troops had already walked through the square, and all stood on the west side of the square, assembled in a long rectangular formation.

Zeng Hua, who had been holding the saber, put down the saber at this time and withdrew it into the scabbard at his waist. He kicked the spur lightly, and Hot Wheels immediately trotted towards the west side of the square with a vigorous stride.

Zeng Hua ran to the end of the square in one breath, then turned the horse's head, started from the westernmost part of the procession, and as soon as he pulled the reins, the majestic Hot Wheels immediately took a straight step and slowly ran eastward.

Hot Wheels is a horse, its gentle trotting posture is not only graceful, but also very smooth, with only a slight undulation. Standing tall, Zeng Hua grabbed the reins with his left hand, while his right hand pointed diagonally at the parade troops, who were standing in great order, and swept past the team in a trot.

Seeing Zeng Hua coming, the review troops immediately boiled. The war drum corps was the first to beat the war drums and responded to the review with twelve earth-shattering drums.

When the cadet team came to Zeng Huachi, they simultaneously knocked the flagpole in their hands three times in a row. And shouted loudly: "Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”

And the sword and card bearers, longbowmen, crossbowmen, Mo swordsmen, government soldiers, light cavalry, lancers, and heavy cavalry in the back either slapped their shields with their swords, or slammed their hilts to the ground, or raised their steel swords and spears, and shouted at the same time: "Ten thousand victories!" With Zeng Hua's fingers and galloping wave after wave, the relay to the east was transmitted to the easternmost part of the team in a while, and the entire square immediately fell into a rainbow of momentum.

After reviewing the team. Zeng Hua turned the horse's head. Hurry back to the middle of the square. Silently looked at the review team that had quieted down

The steamer carrying Zeng Hua turned gently twice, and soon stopped for a moment Zeng Hua spoke, his voice was very loud, and it was far away in the quiet square.

"This morning I went to the Xishan Cemetery and had a sacrament with the martyrs. The morning sun bathes me like the grace of the Father and the Holy Lord, and also shines on the tombstones of the martyrs. It used to be just an ordinary mountain bag. But the honor of the martyrs has turned this place into a holy place in our hearts. In front of these true warriors, we have no right to complain about our hardships and the injustice of fate. Compared with the martyrs who are forever silent in the West Mountain, we are so lucky to be alive! ”

"I touched the cold and hot tombstones, and read the familiar and unfamiliar names, and I found that these real warriors were ordinary people, just like us. They may have been timid in the face of death, but they did not hesitate to rush at the enemy. Facing death calmly. Because they know their responsibilities and know that they are soldiers, they are the real warriors. They have great courage! ”

"Courage, what is courage? It is we who dare to face the murderous enemy, dare to face the bloody steel knife in their hands, for our relatives, for our homeland, for our dignity, we did not escape, did not retreat, but stood up our chests, held steel knives and fought bravely, this is courage! ”

"When we have these courages, we are not afraid of any powerful enemy. When we are full of courage, we can not only destroy any enemy who wants to enslave us, but also spread our glory far! When we repel the invading enemy, when we defend the tranquility of China, when we hold the banner and shout ten thousand victories, and then plant the banner of victory all over the world, that is our honor, the honor of a soldier! ”

As soon as Zeng Hua's voice fell, thousands of soldiers raised their weapons in their hands and shouted one after another: "Wan Sheng!" Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

After the shouts of everyone to the sky subsided, Zeng Hua turned his head and nodded to Deng Yao, who was standing next to the viewing platform on horseback. Deng Yao immediately turned around and whispered, and soon a group of people came out from behind the viewing platform.

These men were very strange, they wore a woolen gray coat, and on their chests were six red horizontal lines, and on each side of the horizontal lines were a shining copper button, a total of twelve copper buttons. The coat is a bit like a caftan in that it is open at the front instead of the sides, and the collar is not round but square, and not only that, but there is a large lapel in the front that folds over to the shoulders. The coat was above the knee, and the hem was exposed as a gray trouser, and underneath the trouser was an unseen shoe, presumably made of leather, with a round shaft that protected most of the calves, all the way to the knee.

The men in fancy dress also carried some strange things, a few drum-like drums, only a little smaller, and carried them horizontally or vertically in front of their chests; There are also a few like transverse flutes, but they are much longer, and they all seem to be of brass, and look golden and brilliant; There are also a few that look like horns, but they all seem to be made of bronze, in the shape of long trumpets.

These are actually military bands carefully built by Zeng Hua, but these instruments are very simple, and they can only produce some simple notes and play some simple music. But this also made Zeng Hua spend five or six years, and today he can finally come out to show off.

After the military band finished standing in the middle of the square, no one started to tune, and the military band soon played a majestic music, although it sounded very simple to Zeng Hua, but it was refreshing to everyone. And this music is impassioned and heroic, and it quickly infects everyone's blood.

At this time, not only Zeng Hua and the other soldiers stood solemnly, raising their swords and guns, but the officials and generals of Beifu on the viewing platform, including Wang Meng and others, had all stood up, not only standing straight, but also touching the heart on the left with their right hand, with extremely solemn expressions. Ran Cao, Murong Ke and the others didn't know what was going on, so they hurriedly stood up and waited silently.

Zeng Hua and others sang loudly along with the music, although many people sang not very harmoniously, and even a little ridiculous, but all of them sang with their hearts, and they didn't dare to be sloppy at all, as if they were doing a very sacred thing.

"The vast world, towering China. Rolling dust, my home! Lang Lang Qiankun, the man is hot-blooded. The vast sky, bless me Huaxia! ”

Very simple lyrics, very simple music, but after thousands of people sang in unison, it became extremely passionate and heroic. Even Murong Ke, Ran Cao and other "outsiders" were also deeply infected, and the people of Beifu in the square were even more enthusiastic, and they didn't care whether they could sing or not, they just hummed loudly behind the song and melody.

At the second recess, hundreds of thousands of people were already singing in unison, recreating the pomp and circumstance of the morning sacrament.

The song is sung three times, although it is simply repeated, but the melody is cleverly repeated three times on the same tune, and it changes slightly, and each time it is different, so it seems to be impassioned and deep and majestic.

As soon as the singing was over, the parade troops began to withdraw from the square one by one from the west, and the people in the square were even more boiling, they kept cheering, cheering at Zeng Hua, who was saluting the retreating team with his sword.

Ran Cao shook his head and disdained it, although this short half an hour made him unforgettable, but he tried hard to think that this was just a "show" between Zeng Hua and Beifu in front of him. But Murong fell into deep contemplation, from these cheering people of Beifu, what he saw was self-improvement and self-confidence!

Murong Ke couldn't help but feel a little afraid, the people of the Central Plains were not only numerous, but also diligent and intelligent, and it was they who created an endless world of flowers and flowers that made the people of Murong Covet it. Compared with the bravery of the Murong tribes, these Central Plains people are like a flock of sheep, which has given the Murong tribe several generations of ambition and opportunities to plot the Central Plains. Now this general of Beifu has used some means to arouse the courage of the people and arouse their self-confidence, at least the people of Beifu he has seen make him dare not despise them. It seems that history has really been changed.

The evening was a feast, and Zeng Hua held a grand banquet in his mansion to entertain Murong, Ran Cao, Yu Gui and others, as well as officials and generals of the Northern Mansion.

At the banquet, Murong Ke quietly walked to Zeng Hua's side, and said with a straight face: "General, Murong has been in Chang'an for more than a month, and he has never had the opportunity to teach the general, I don't know if the general can arrange a time to give Murong Ke a chance to ask for advice." ”

Hearing Murong Ke's request to meet alone, Zeng Hua took a deep look at the handsome Yan State general, nodded and agreed.
