Chapter 294: Show of Force
On the second day, the sky will be beautiful, and the sky will be full of red clouds early in the morning, and it will be a sunny day.
Zhao Gong and Hu Benjun Zhonglang will ride a high-headed horse, with a grand guard of honor, and a variety of ethnic styles of ceremonial cars, already waiting in front of the welcome building.
3,000 soldiers dressed in bright gold helmets and armor lined up neatly outside the door of the VIP mansion to receive the heads and envoys of various countries, and went to Biyong outside the city to observe the new weapons and training performances.
In addition to demonstrating strength, this arrangement is mainly to introduce a unified method of training and governing the army to all princes, so that the stragglers of various tribes can become soldiers who can accept unified orders, are well-armed, well-trained, and have more combat effectiveness.
The lords and envoys of each ethnic group respectively took the carriage drawn by four horses with the symbolic characteristics of their own tribe, with dozens of their own personal entourage, waving the banner of their own tribe, under the escort of Zhaogong, the lieutenant general of the Tiger Ben Army, and 3,000 warriors armed with spears and other weapons, and marched towards Biyong outside the city.
Along the way, the drum music of the honor guard, lively and noisy, the flags held high, the hunting fluttering, the whole scene is several miles, the front and back can not look at each other, grand and magnificent,
The streets along the way are lit up and renovated.
With their families and families on their faces, people stood on both sides of the street, constantly cheering and cheering for the convoy, which can be described as an empty alley.
In front of some large shops and restaurants, there are dancers dressed in costumes, dancing to music, and some setting off firecrackers to pay tribute.
Greeted by the ceremonial team and the army, and warmly welcomed by tens of thousands of people, the heads of state and envoys from all sides lifted their curtains one after another, waved their hands with smiles and waved to the crowds of people.
Every visitor from afar deeply felt the enthusiasm and sincerity of the people of Dazhou.
The convoy entered Biyong with great momentum, and the princes and envoys got off one after another, and under the enthusiastic guidance of Zhaogong and the lieutenant general of the Tiger Ben Army, they all boarded the decorated viewing platform together and sat down as the guest of honor.
"Knock! knock!"
With the sound of three earth-shattering snare drums, thousands of soldiers wearing golden helmets and golden armor, holding cold and shining spears, ran up to the field together on the wide training ground, accompanied by rhythmic drum beats, and performed a huge and uniform drill performance.
After the performance, the lords and envoys of various countries on the viewing platform, as well as the courtiers and entourages who followed the audience, applauded thunderously.
The applause did not stop, and a hundred new four-horse chariots, carrying smoke and dust all the way, rushed into the stadium with a staggering speed.
Each chariot carried four soldiers with halberds in one hand and tall bronze shields in the other, as well as two soldiers with arrows and crossbows.
After the command of the standard-bearer, the chariots either attacked together or gathered together to defend, constantly changing formation.
The soldiers on the chariot use halberds to stab and hook the enemy, use shields to defend safety, and can also pull out tripwires with other chariots, and shoot cold arrows from the chariots.
It can attack and defend, and it is unpredictable.
The people on and off the stage were dumbfounded, not only because of the novelty of tactical tactics, but also because of the chariots and weapons in the hands of the soldiers.
Some lords secretly thought to themselves, with most of their own weapons of stone, bone and other materials, in the face of such a modern war, it is simply an egg hitting a stone.
Without attaching to a powerful existence, it is difficult for the clan to do anything, and this alliance is doing the right thing, and it has also opened its eyes and gained insight.
The next performance was a double sword performance, in which I saw two men in black and white robes, holding swords shining with cold light, and after saluting the stage, they fought in one place.
The sword is like a white snake spitting letters, hissing through the wind, and the two of them are like two dragons, one white and one black, flying up and down, shuttling left and right, as fast as lightning.
The two swords intersected, the sound was loud, and the tricks of the virtual and the real dazzled everyone's eyes.
"Good!"
A powerful warrior couldn't help but cheer, and everyone laughed and commented on each other.
Next is the performance of the bow and crossbow, which can be described as the bow is strong, the crossbow is stronger, and what is more surprising is that many arrows are fired together, one by one flying arrows, with a cold buzz, not only shooting far, but also hitting the bull's-eye, and attracting bursts of cheers.
Seeing the warm atmosphere, Zhao Gong Shili spoke, "Lords and envoys, everything I have in my great week...... The new weapons are on display in the audience, so you can take a look at them and try to see if they are easy to use."
A burly lord of the kingdom could no longer hold back and shouted, "Okay! Zhao Gong is thoughtful, let's go!
The lords and envoys on the stage stepped down one after another, looking at the new weapons with great interest.
The exhibition is divided into four parts:
First of all, the chariot, the four-horse chariot of the show is also among them, which is exquisitely crafted and more convenient to drive.
Fighting weapons include bronze ge, spears, knives, and swords; axes, axes, axes, qi, jin, ji, and qu are used for slashing long soldiers; and bronze short swords, short knives, daggers, etc., are used in guard weapons, and halberds are placed in a separate place.
There are many types of long-range weapons, including the latest two-winged arrowheads, longer and sharper barbs, and crossbows and bronze crossbow machines, all of which are made with precision and can not help but make people marvel.
The protective equipment mainly includes armor, armor and shield, and the armor and armor have leather paint, and there are also bronze casting. The shield is made of hard leather with bronze shield ornaments, and there are also bronze heavy shields.
Zhao Gong picked up a halberd and opened his mouth to introduce, "Lords and envoys, this new weapon...... It is called a halberd, it is a body with Ge as a body, a spear as a thorn, a straight blade in front of the handle to stab the enemy, and a horizontal blade next to it can hook and peck the enemy.
Many lords and envoys picked up their halberds, looked at them carefully, and tried to measure the movements such as stabbing hooks, and they all praised them.
"Okay! This invention is wonderful! Thank you Zhaogong, let us have a look."
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are not just a pleasure to see, summoned, on the orders of the king, some halberds have been prepared, and they will be driven with the distinguished guests...... Take it back with you".
Everyone returned the salute, "Thank you King Zhou for your kindness, and thank you for calling the public for your attention."
Zhao Gong picked up a short knife and began to introduce again, "Distinguished guests, this short knife is a hard iron that fell from the sky...... It is cast, extremely sharp, and can be sharpened like clay, and it is very scarce, and the king also ordered to summon it, and give it to the lords and envoys, please laugh and accept it."
When the lords and envoys of various countries saw the short swords presented by the samurai, and saw that they were engraved with their own family crests and gorgeous patterns, they all couldn't put it down, and they expressed their gratitude one after another.
"King Zhou is sincere, we are grateful, and I am willing to share life and death and participate in the grand event"
"Yes, it's a reliable partner, and we're willing to follow King Zhou......"
“......”
Only with the help of the strength of the allies can we quickly solve the pattern of combat power that is very different from that of Yin Shang.
Da Zhou's sincerity touched all the ethnic groups who came to the alliance.
During this trip, all ethnic groups not only received the new weapons of the Great Zhou, but also experienced and received more systematic training and command methods.
These advance preparations have laid a solid foundation for future unified military operations.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
