Chapter 229 continues
As the Jinyi Guard's Flag Protection Array passed, Yang Song's personal army came immediately: the original imperial guards and the current Yulin Army Array.
The same company is in the size of a company, with a row of twenty people, a total of fifteen rows, and the two leading officers, a total of three hundred and two. The infantry phalanxes after that were basically of this size.
The Yulin Army's square formation marched to the Zhuque Gate with the same neat and powerful steps. With the command of the leading officer, Zhou Wu, "Yulin Army, salute!"
"Yulin Army, see Your Majesty!"
The Yulin Army in the entire square formation was wearing a pattern of armor, holding a flintlock gun with a bayonet in his hand. Under Zhou Wu's order, they pushed the gun forward and looked right at the same time to show their loyalty to Yang Song and Xia Kingdom.
The most special part of the Yulin Army is the long upright white feather on each soldier's helmet. It forms a sharp contrast with the black military uniform and armor on his body. From a distance, it looks like a Yulin floating in the wind.
The military parade continues...
After the Yulin Army's phalanx, the infantry phalanx sent by the First Infantry Division, the Second Infantry Division, the Third Mountain Division, and the Fourth Heavy Equipment Division.
All of these four divisions are the current division commanders and chiefs of staff of each division.
The commander of the First Division Qi Jiguang, Chief of Staff Lu Su; the commander of the Second Division Di Qing, Chief of Staff Liu Qi; the commander of the Third Division Zhang Wei, Chief of Staff Sun Chengzong, Commander of the Fourth Division Huo Qubing, and Chief of Staff Wu Yi.
They had been wearing gorgeous court uniforms and followed Yang Song to the Heaven and Earth Hall to celebrate the sacrifices. Now they are wearing military uniforms and are leading the troops forward.
As the military parade proceeded and the mighty advance of the military formation, whether it was Yang Song who had already prepared himself or the other civil and military officials who watched, there was indescribable passion, pride, and excitement in his heart.
The most exciting thing is that the ordinary people who watched the military parade on both sides of the avenue. Seeing such a mighty army, some young people wished they were in it, to offer their passion and loyalty to the Emperor they admired, to the Great Xia Empire, which allowed them to live and work in peace and prosperity.
On the city wall next to the city gate tower, the tears from the martyrs' families standing next to the military soldiers told them that their husbands, fathers and sons who sacrificed their lives for the country also had no regrets!
On the other side of the city wall, representatives, honorary officials and people from all walks of life were also very excited. Looking at the mighty army under the city, then looking at the medals and medals on their chests, no matter how proud they were, they were more motivated. They/they secretly decided to make themselves worthy of the honor they were!
...
After the four Xia Kingdom's standing main divisions passed, they were the navy's phalanx and the marines' phalanx.
The navy's phalanx uniforms were completely different from those of the army. They were pure white and had no armor, but were exchanged for an inflatable life-saving vest, and the same standard musket in their hands.
The Marine Corps' military formation is also eye-catching. Not only is it unique in its light blue military uniform, but even the equipment on it is a bit incomprehensible: there is also an inflatable life-saving vest in addition to the breastplate, which makes people feel cumbersome at first glance.
However, after seeing that the Marine Corps soldiers were all tall and tall, burly men, compared the two things, I found that their equipment was somewhat similar to their figure.
After the main army of sea and land passed, a company of the city guards led by Yan Ren was immediately followed.
Although the Chengwei Army had become a local security army after the military reform and no longer participated in foreign wars, the Chengwei Army was also part of the Xia State military system.
Following the city guards is the latest reinforcement army, the full name is: Logistics Support and Support Construction Army, abbreviated as: Reinforcement Army.
According to the plan, this reinforcement army had only the size of a standard infantry regiment, but in practice it was found that some troops were insufficient, and then expanded to the scale of a reinforced regiment with 16,000 people.
The penultimate phalanx of the infantry phalanx is the military academy phalanx composed of the Army and Naval Academy, led by Bao Jie of the Political and Legal Department, indicating that the academy students had infinite loyalty to Xia Guo and Yang Song from the beginning of their thoughts.
The last phalanx of the infantry phalanx is a phalanx composed of militias. Although the militia is just a reserve recruitment, the militias are indispensable in all wars over the years, even in peacetime. The militia phalanx was led by Yang Xin of the Military Affairs Office.
The infantry phalanx has all passed, and then the highlight of the military parade is coming, and the cavalry and artillery phalanx will arrive in turn!
The cavalry phalanx was composed of half of the Yulin Army and the Fourth Heavy Division, and was led by Li Jing, who was riding a war horse.
Although cavalry is no longer brilliant, it is an indispensable and important force in the army. Whether it is field battles, mobile reconnaissance, or even border patrol, the cavalry is indispensable.
Due to the particularity of the cavalry phalanx, there were a total of 600 cavalry in this military parade, which was completely different from the way the infantry phalanx passed in front of the Zhuque Gate.
Without slogans or salutes, instead, the entire formation of 600 cavalry, led by Li Jing, drew out their battle swords, roared, and charged through the city gate tower.
There were only six hundred people charging, but in the eyes of the bystanders, it seemed like there were thousands of troops. Their neatly galloping power and momentum made the entire earth seem to be trembling.
The cavalry were showing their loyalty to Yang Song and the people of Xia in their ways! Then they used silent actions to show their fearless confidence!
With the charge of the cavalry phalanx, the infantry phalanx walking ahead had already made a passage for cavalry to pass, otherwise the infantry phalanx in front would be in danger.
After the cavalry roared past, before the people watching the ceremony could come back to their senses, a silent power suddenly made everyone present quietly shut up the involuntary screams of the cavalry roaring past just now.
The earth was trembling, moaning, creaking, and a low and powerful sound came from the east, making people worried that this strong enough ground could bear it.
When I heard the sound, I saw a group of slow horses carrying some heavy breaths and pulling something hard, but the thing they pulled was covered with a layer of black cloth, which made people unable to see clearly. However, from this momentum, I also knew that the weight of these things must be quite important.
When the square formation arrived in front of the city gate tower a second, with the equipment hall riding a war horse in front of the square formation, Zhuang Wei ordered: "Reveal! The artillery square formation, salute!"
The soldiers who followed opened the black cloth above the cannon together, revealing the thick and dark tubes hidden under it, making people know that this is a big killing weapon at first sight!
It turned out to be the world-famous artifact of the Xia army - artillery! At this time, he officially showed his face so close to the common people!
Twelve large siege artillery arrays were lined up in front, and sixteen slightly smaller field artillery were also lined up in two rows to follow closely behind.
It can be said that if it weren't for this military parade, it would be difficult for ordinary people to see the respect of artillery at first sight.
Because of the special nature of this world, muskets are fine. Because they are standard equipment, they can't hide them even if they want to, so ordinary people still have the chance to see each other, but the more important artillery was hidden tightly by the Xia Kingdom.
Even if you are in the military camp, as long as you are not a specific military service, ordinary musketeers cannot touch the artillery.
Therefore, for many people in Xia Kingdom, this is the first time they have seen these legendary weapons, and they are still so close to watch them.
In this way, Yang Song can satisfy the expectations of the general public and realize what he said before, "Happy with the people"!
