My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 324 Military Parade

Under the bright May morning sun, the cavalry surged like a sea wave, rising and falling in dense clusters.

As the commander of the Flying Bear Army, Li Jue was running at the front. This was the first time for him to perform this kind of martial arts. He felt the sights from all around him and unconsciously straightened his body straighter. The cavalry behind him felt the Unprecedented glory.

"Prepare!"

He pulled down his visor to cover his face and roared. His subordinates behind him made the same move, pulling down their iron masks. The slowly running horses gradually began to speed up.

Iron hoofs plow the ground, causing a roar.

The densely packed iron hooves writhed crazily, the flag with the word "Xiliang" on it was raised in the sky, and the mighty one thousand heavy cavalry launched a charge on the spacious parade road.

The clatter of iron armor and the rumble of iron hoofs made the ground shake when they stepped on it. The civil and military officials, who had never faced such a terrifying heavy cavalry charge, were trembling in an instant, and the flesh on their faces trembled.

The surrounding common people and the children of dignitaries were at eye level. When the heavy cavalry rushed past the viewing platform, turned a big gentle bend, and came towards them, many people looked at the torrent of iron armor with pale faces. The roar came, my heart was beating wildly, my hands and feet were cold, and I couldn't help but want to avoid and run away.

The heavy cavalry pushed forward with many people shouting and screaming roared away in front of them, and the wind it brought hit their faces, making them unable to open their eyes.

When the sound of hoofbeats faded away, the people on one side patted their chests with lingering fear, and then pointed with laughter at the onlookers on the other side who were facing the advance of the heavy cavalry, looking at the embarrassment of the people.

However, many children from wealthy families couldn't laugh. They just ran over. Many of them were frightened. Some even had good martial arts skills. However, despite being so frightened, their hands and feet were numb and their reactions were slow.

If they were to face such heavy cavalry on the battlefield, how many soldiers would be able to resist it?
The envoys from the four countries on the viewing platform tried to stay calm. After all, they came here on behalf of one country. However, the envoys from Wu and Yue tried their best to pretend to be calm, but they were horrified in their hearts. Even if there were young horses in the south, most of them were A pony, not to mention a war horse suitable for heavy cavalry.

On the other side, Dong Zhuo was quite satisfied with the expressions of the people around him. He patted Li Ru beside him: "Did you see it? The Xiliang cavalry from back then is back."

Li Ru's face was also flushed with excitement, and he did not forget to compliment: "It's all thanks to the great master's hard work!"

"Not only was it hard work, but I had the audacity to apologize to Lu Bu for not doing it back then. It took me [-] pieces of armor to have the Flying Bear Army today!"

Under his dumbfounded gaze, Dong Zhuo patted his thigh nonchalantly and laughed: "But it's worth it, haha!"

In the voices of the two people talking.

The sound of war drums suddenly changed, and the people in the distance screamed. The ground shook violently, and a cavalry of more than 2000 people roared in. On the viewing platform, civil and military eyes looked towards the direction of entering the venue, and they rolled over from the field. , the hooves of horses galloping and rolling, the civil and military personnel knew about this army and the white-robed general at the head, and couldn't help but shout out loudly.

"It's Zhao Zilong, this is his white horse follower——"

"Why is there a female general next to me!"

The envoys from the four countries stood up one after another. Xi Feng Renxiao pointed at the cavalry running towards them and laughed: "Haha, there are actually female generals. The Xia Kingdom's army actually let women go on the battlefield!"

"To shut up!"

Xiang Lishanba roared, he narrowed his eyes, and the iron hooves were like thunder, and two thousand white horse rebels rushed into the parade route, under the banner of the 'Youyan' army.

He is a cavalryman wearing silver scales and a pure white robe. He has a handsome face, slightly dark skin, and an indifferent expression. He holds a gentian silver gun in his hand.

Next to him, there is also a white horse, a female general wearing a silver waistband and two levels of armor. She wears a white cloak and a forehead band on her head. She looks heroic.

Just when everyone was curious about the function of this light cavalry, the rushing white horse Yi Cong suddenly raised his long bow in his hand and launched a mounted shot at the straw man standing in the open space in the distance. While dense arrows poured out, he quickly Changing the bow to a crossbow, as Zhao Yun raised the spear, the cavalry suddenly changed and approached the open space.

Ten arrows in a row almost paved a black 'carpet' in the air between the running cavalry formation and the open space. The hundreds of straw men standing there were shot into pieces together with the arrows stuck on them. Honeycomb, for a moment only the bare wooden frame remained on the ground.

This scene made the envoys of the four countries unable to sit still. If we talk about heavy cavalry, they can still suppress their emotions. After all, the role of heavy cavalry is relatively monotonous. It can be seen that the repeated crossbows in this light cavalry are used in conjunction with the cavalry. If you shoot, you can't calm down.

The role of light cavalry is always the most extensive. Coupled with such a repeating crossbow, who can withstand a burst of arrows and crossbow bolts? !

"Such a powerful crossbow... the Xirong people... were defeated unjustly..." Qi State envoy Li Xuanchong murmured.

The envoys of Wu, Yue, and Liang on the left and right had bad expressions. The Wu State had done a lot of research on bows and crossbows to facilitate water battles, but they were quite shocked by the current continuous crossbows. In the previous time in Qingzhou, the opponent's Bingzhou branch Repeating crossbows appeared in the army, but they were not as popular as this.

While the envoys focused on weapons and military types, Lishamba's gaze always stayed on the white-robed cavalry general. As a native of the northwest, he was born to ride a horse. Every move of the other horseman was as if it was made by nature. Found a flaw.

This kind of general on horseback is sometimes more troublesome than fighting on foot.

"I hope... I don't have to touch him during my martial arts performance."

The next moment, Xianglishamba's pores suddenly opened, and he felt his hair standing on end, as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. He stood up in a hurry. Not only him, but also the disciples of the rich family and the powerful martial arts guards among the guards all stood up in an instant. Sensing the crisis, they all turned their heads and looked in the direction of the entrance.Another group of cavalry came like a tide - the String Controlling Wolf Cavalry.

Many people know that this is one of the veteran cavalry under the Emperor of Xia. From the side of the Qing Dynasty to the south to the Central Plains, and then to the conquest of Xirong, it has never failed. Almost every cavalry is the best of the best and is placed in other armies. , both have the rank of Captain and Colonel.

The rushing tide did not show everyone their cavalry skills, but from the double bows on their backs, the repeating crossbows and sabers on their waists, and the spears hanging on the sides of their horses, no one dared to doubt this cavalry.

Especially the leader, Lu Bu, was wearing a ferocious beast-faced head-swallowing chain armor, a scarlet cloak, and holding a square-shaped halberd in his hand. The aura he exuded seemed to materialize, making the martial arts experts in the audience restless.

He rode side by side with the girl wearing an exquisite animal head armor and a red feather crown. His gaze majestically swept across the auditorium. Others may only feel that the majesty cannot be looked directly at, but Shanba felt that his body was uncontrollable and a stiffness arose. Numb feeling.

"Another female general. Does Xia Guo have a special hobby?"

Xifeng Renxiao said softly at the viewing platform, and his words also brought Lishamba back from his numbness. The moment he sat down, cold sweat was already covering his face and neck.

At the same time, in the distance, a group of neat phalanxes followed the String Controlling Wolf Cavalry and walked into the military parade. The leader of the general was riding a red rabbit horse, wearing golden armor and green robes, with a face like a heavy jujube, and a green dragon Yanyue Sword hanging on it. Beside him was his brother Zhang Fei, who had a leopard head with ringed eyes and a beard as thick as a steel needle. They led the tiger cavalry battalion and the tiger foot battalion to walk in front of the Yizhou Army's infantry square formation and went straight to the viewing platform.

The foot soldiers in the army are mediocre, but everyone has murderous intent in their eyes, and they are all elites from hundreds of battles. Especially the tiger cavalry behind the second general, each with one man, one horse and one sword, looks majestic, while the tiger cavalry next to them are all wearing iron armor and holding heavy spears, which makes people Don't dare to look down upon it.

Especially the Yue envoy, when he saw this army coming out, he immediately took out his handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on his face.

But soon, the Wu envoy also showed a look of fear.

Amidst the sound of war drums, the Bingzhou army marched into the walkway. The heavy footsteps of the trapped camp followed the war drums and came into everyone's sight. The trapped camp was in front, weapons and shields collided from time to time, and the expressions on every face , like their generals, are full of calmness and composure.

Entering the auditorium, 3000 people suddenly faced the civil and military officials and envoys from the four countries. The large shields in their hands stood on the ground with a bang, and there was a loud bang around the school grounds.

Spears and repeating crossbows continued to take over behind the shield, and the formation also changed with the switching of weapons. Almost every movement was not redundant, and they cooperated seamlessly.

Only a strict general like Gao Shun can train such an army.

After that, more and more troops came in. Qin Qiong, who was leading the team on behalf of Li Jing, led the Tang army in. They had the same armor, but their clothes were embellished with different styles from other armies. Each soldier was covered with various weapons. From crossbows to bows, from shields to swords and spears.

Looking at this completely different army, the surroundings became silent.

As time went by, many people were breathing rapidly, and they finally understood why the Xia Emperor was able to win every battle. Not only did he have so many generals, but the soldiers under his command were all outstanding.

The Youyan Army came out with various siege and field warfare equipment, and finally made up for the missing piece. There were many things that no country in this world had ever seen before.

However, there was nothing surprising about the Qingzhou Army behind them, except that this eye-catching army was actually equipped with two different types of cavalry, light and heavy.

Immediately after, the Xiqiang flying riders wearing leather armor and leather jackets, led by Ma Chao and Ma Dai, rushed into the road and ran quickly directly on the side of the Qingzhou Army. They were extremely agile and detoured and outflanked the opponent's march, showing Demonstrates terrifying mobility.

When the last Xiliang army came out, everyone thought there would be a finale, but what they saw was a phalanx of soldiers wearing armor and holding spears and swords, not even cavalry.

However, the envoys of Liang and Qi knew that this army with the banner "Xiliang" was the most aggressive troops in the hands of the Xia king.

Able to attack and defend, he charges into battle as if his life is at stake.

During the Meizhou offensive and defensive battle, the troops of Qi and Liang were almost defeated one by one by them in the wilderness.

As the last phalanx entered, they lined up around the large open-air arena in the middle of the beacon tower, crowded together with other phalanxes.

With solemn faces, they looked at the high platform in the distance where a person was sitting alone. A general urged his horse forward and shouted: "Your Majesty, please inspect the three armies -"

Under the sky, countless soldiers banged their weapons and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, please review the three armies!"

Countless voices joined together, causing the people around to cover their ears.

At a certain moment, Su Chen slowly stood up from the big chair, walked to the edge of the high platform, clenched his hands into fists, looked at the crowd of people below, waved his hands towards them, and spread his wide sleeves.

The powerful voice was stirred up by the inner force.

"The generals of the three armies perform martial arts! The winner will be given a special honor!"
