Chapter 556 The Empress, Unfathomable

The day of the parade was fast approaching.

Li Kuan didn't know what he had prepared.

It's just that the day before the parade, all the 16 guards patrolling Chang'an City disappeared, and they were replaced by local government soldiers who were transferred from all over the country.

Before the parade, Li Kuan saw the Xia cavalry from the steppe.

Although he just glanced at it in a hurry, Li Kuan gave an evaluation, which was very majestic.

After riding Andalusia from Europe, their combat effectiveness ushered in a qualitative leap.

The Andalusian horse, both in size and explosiveness, overwhelmed the Mongolian and Arabian horses of this era.

When the day of the military parade came, Li Kuan changed into the clothes sent by the palace early and took the carriage to the head of Chang'an City.

Today's parade audience is here.

The place of the people is under the city.

When Li Kuan arrived, the magnates had almost arrived, and even Chang'an had already arrived.

"It felt like it was waiting for me."

Li Kuan said with a smile, without the slightest embarrassment.

At this time, I only had a smile on my face.

After all, if he came late, others would say that he had a big face, and if he came earlier than Chang'an, there would be some annoying people who said that Chang'an had not arranged it well and did not take the emperor in his eyes.

Li Kuan felt that he was still said to be higher.

Li Kuan's seat was next to Chang'an, but he didn't sit down.

The magnates stood above the city.

The generals in Chang'an City were not here, and they all went to their respective troops early.

When the people also stood up, Chang'an nodded to Li Chen, who was presiding over the parade.

"Let's go."

Li Chen took a step forward, and someone lit wolf smoke, indicating that the unexpected army could enter.

When the wolf smoke rose, the earth began to tremble.

Li Kuan and the others' eyes widened instantly.

I saw a horse galloping out of sight.

After the change of clothes, the Xia cavalry charged with armor.

The weight of terror made the earth tremble.

The momentum of the charge makes people have no doubt about their combat effectiveness.

The overwhelming momentum made the mood of everyone on the city wall surge.

As the saying goes, there are 10,000 people, and there is no shore, let alone 10,000 armored cavalry wearing black armor.

The Xia generals in the lead were obviously very powerful cavalry generals, and they slowed down at an appropriate distance without affecting anyone.

As soon as the mounted cavalry stopped, light cavalry composed of white horses appeared in front of them.

Dressed in thin armor and charging at significantly twice as fast as mounted cavalry, it was easy to tell what they were to do on the battlefield.

If the mounted cavalry is the city wall and the mountain, then the light cavalry is the assassin on the battlefield.

Next to the crowd were 200,000 infantrymen.

Because of the large number of people, they walk slowly.

But when the phalanx of 5,000 people appeared in front of them, everyone understood what the real alpine momentum was.

Every time the neat footsteps fell, the magnates on the city wall of Chang'an trembled in their hearts.

They felt the walls tremble beneath their feet.

The people under the walls felt it even more deeply.

The pressure of the 200,000 infantry phalanx made them feel the air heavy.

Li Chen saw that the people were a little frightened, and waved to the city.

The general in charge of maintaining order quickly gave orders, and one by one the soldiers who maintained order stepped out of the crowd and stood in front.

As soon as they stepped forward, the terrifying aura from the phalanx soldiers disappeared in an instant.

"Weak batch explosions, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's killing too heavy, where would it be their turn to participate in the parade."

The generals who maintained order looked at the parade phalanx and sneered in their hearts.

In his opinion, these soldiers who participated in the parade were weak.

There is no murderous spirit at all.

If it weren't for Li Chen's personal explanation, he was afraid that their gang would be too murderous and frighten some people, and he would have been in the military department a long time ago.

In normal times, you can take the military department seriously, but if you don't let us participate in the military parade, isn't it a bit excessive, we definitely can't take you seriously anymore, and we must hammer your military department.

Li Chen looked at the soldiers and generals who maintained order below, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He stood on it and felt the overwhelming resentment.

But there is no way, the most elite and the most capable killers in Datang are all born with five lives, and as soon as they walk, their eyes move, it is the overwhelming atmosphere of purgatory.

Let them play, Li Chen is afraid that if they let their murderous spirit go, the people will be paralyzed.

Besides, they have something more shocking in there.

Although man will conquer heaven, some mechanical things are even more terrifying.

Li Chen thought and looked at the phalanx again.

After 200,000 armored infantry entered the ranks, what appeared in the eyes of everyone was something more terrifying.

A cannon was dragged into the field by Sharma.

The terrifying and hideous muzzle of the cannon seems to tell the world its power.

Along with it appeared the Shenji Battalion, which was formed during the Li Kuan period.

Yes, Li Kuan imitated the Ming Dynasty and named the firearms unit the Shenji Battalion.

Equipped with new guns and artillery, the Shenji Battalion was out of step with the previous units.

The thousand cannons dragged out by the Shenji Battalion shook the magnates on the city wall.

It's crazy.

Could it be that Datang took out all the artillery from all over the country?

Two thousand guns, how did this happen.

No wonder Chang'an has confidence.

Feeling the shock of the people around him, the corners of Chang'an's mouth hooked up a touch of mockery, what is this, there are more shocking things that have not come up.

Hillbillies, look good.

After the Divine Machine Battalion, steel monsters appeared.

They don't move fast, but their presence is shocking.

As soon as Li Kuan saw it, he lifted his forehead and sighed.

Sure enough, it was the original tank.

A thing that also existed only on drawings in the Age of Steam.

With a steam engine as a power, it was three or four times larger than the later tank, otherwise it would be impossible to put down the steam engine and charcoal-burning personnel.

This thing has a series of shortcomings such as inconvenient movement, huge iron consumption, and low power.

It can be said that the input cost is completely disproportionate to the harvest.

His only value now is to shock people.

Li Kuan looked at the stunned looks of the surrounding magnates and knew that they had been frightened by this primitive tank.

Big is beautiful, big is strong, and a high amount of iron is awesome.

A total of ten original tanks, after they were lined up, the people watching the parade in Datang were silent.

A few old magnates sat directly on the chairs and muttered, "Times are different. ”

At this moment, they also deeply realized how big the gap in national strength was between Datang and their personal feudalism.

Dragons and ants are the best adjectives.

"With the development of the times, there will be millions of troops and artillery with a range of 100 miles in the future."

"Gentlemen, times have changed, don't be left behind."

The parade ended with Chang'an's smiling words.

Equipped cavalry, Shenji battalion, 200,000 all-armored infantry, 2,000 artillery pieces, and tanks representing national strength.

These things made the powerful people who had Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts stop instantly.

Artillery and tanks may not be available for sieges, as transportation is a problem.

But if these things are spread all over the border cities of Datang, at least they can ensure that Datang is undefeated.

This also means that Datang has the confidence to challenge the world.

What's more, Datang can create these things, which also means that Datang's national strength is extremely terrifying.

And to fight a war, it is the basic national strength that is fought.

Whoever lasts longer in the war will be victorious.

"Empress, unfathomable."

The magnates who participated in the parade couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
