Chapter 691: This is my Great Ming
As soon as the cannon sounded, the people on the high platform were all startled, first looked at each other, and then picked up the binoculars and looked ahead.
Zhu Xu watched left and right through the telescope, and there was not a trace of movement on the huge military exercise venue, and there was no figure in sight.
"What's going on? Didn't you say that you want to perform martial arts? ”
"yes, why don't you have half a figure?"
"In other words, what is it like to perform martial arts, I haven't seen it in decades......"
The group of people at the back muttered and exchanged ears.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty had never had such a martial arts exercise, and they didn't understand what 'martial arts' should look like, so everyone was curious and looked around with binoculars.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, on the left side of the high platform, groups of soldiers suddenly appeared out of thin air from the grass, row by row, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of them, roaring angrily, rushing forward.
"What's going on? They have never come out of nowhere? ”
"Here, there are more than 10,000 people, right?"
"What are they going to do, there is a river in front of them, more than a dozen feet, right? Probably wider ......"
Zhu Xu turned the telescope, although he couldn't see it very clearly, but there was always an approximation.
There were more than 20,000 soldiers who came out of the ground, and the banners fluttered, shouting to kill the heavens, and they surged forward in unison, and the evil spirit dried up.
"Archer!"
"Musketeers!"
"Cotton Armor Army!"
The leading general rode a tall horse and brandished a long sword!
Immediately, the gunfire was loud, stirring up puffs of green smoke on the opposite bank, and arrows rained down, turning the opposite bank into a hornet's nest. At the same time, at a speed visible to the naked eye, pontoon bridges appeared on the water surface dozens of zhang wide.
"Kill!"
Just as the army on the left was crossing the river, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded like thunder from a distance on the opposite bank, and the whole high platform trembled.
I saw a group of cavalrymen with bright armor and tall horses appearing, at least five thousand people!
They came at a gallop, as fast as lightning, and as thunder!
Not far in front of them were rows of camouflaged bamboo forests, dense and sharp enough to hold back the cavalry.
"What's that? Cavalry? ”
"What are they going to do, there is a bamboo forest in front of them, and they can't rush through ......"
"Won't they take a detour?"
Everyone looked nervous and inexplicable, they all held binoculars, eager to rush over, and they no longer had any scruples, and they started talking.
The last group of people were very nervous, they had never seen such a regular army military exercise, and they couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.
Wang Beicheng and the others all nodded slightly, with a smile on the corner of their mouths - well, it's decent, it's finally passable.
The three brothers of the Wu family looked indifferent, looked at each other, and had no expression.
Old lady Wu still didn't move, as if she was asleep, and she seemed to be indifferent, and nothing could alarm her.
Cao Wenzhao and the others looked unmoved, but they were very nervous in their hearts, if something went wrong, it would not be their face that would be lost, it would be the emperor's!
As for Fang Kongzhi, Fu Zonglong and the others have been watching the military exercise, and they have temporarily forgotten about the 'emperor wants to make dumplings', and they are even more interested in the 'military exercise', after all, the Ming Dynasty is full of dangers, and a strong army is better than everything!
Zhu Xu's expression did not move, and he looked through the binoculars, he did not deliberately watch the military exercise process, he just wanted to see something different.
The group of cavalry was still charging, and in the binoculars, it was about to reach the bamboo forest.
The first wave of cavalry was about to come to them, and suddenly they drew their bows and arrows, and one arrow after another flew out, and after the arrows were fired, they pulled the ropes of their horses and cut them in a delicate arc.
Just as they turned, the arrow landed in the bamboo forest.
Boom, boom, boom
The explosion sounded suddenly, the smoke and dust billowed out, and the bamboo forest was blown up beyond recognition.
"Kill!"
Then came the second wave of cavalry, which came quickly, and like the first wave, arrows were shot out in a semicircle.
Boom, boom, boom
Streams of dust stirred, rippling like water waves, completely submerging the original bamboo forest, filling the smoke of gunpowder, vertical and horizontal.
It didn't take long for the third wave, and arrows were shot from afar, falling into the smoke and dust.
The people on the high platform were speechless in shock, only holding binoculars and looking desperately.
They had never thought of this scene, but such a picture was really shocking!
Not to mention, just these 5,000 people are enough to dominate the world, right? Who else is the opponent?
"Is this a firearm......" someone said tremblingly, he was really afraid, not to mention the wolf-like cavalry, let alone the rain of arrows, the dense explosion alone frightened him to sit down.
"No wonder the emperor was able to quell the rebellion in Liaodong, with these five thousand people, no matter how many Jiannu can be killed, right?"
"That's a bamboo forest...... If it's a human being, at least 10,000, right? If it goes on like this, it will be fried in less than a stick of incense......"
The people on the high platform were shocked, such cavalry is no longer as simple as field warfare, even if it is a siege, it must no longer be a problem, right?
Everyone had their own expressions, and the anxiety in their hearts suddenly surged up again.
With such a strong army, what does the emperor want to do? Who can stop it?
The cavalry quickly wiped out the 'Bamboo Forest', and then made a long-distance run through the smoke and dust area to the set 'fortress'.
At this moment, less than two miles in front of the high platform, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared, pushing black cannons, and appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"Is this the Hongyi cannon?"
"It's so cumbersome, it actually takes four horses to pull the ......"
"What are they going to do, there's a hill in front of them......"
"yes, I can't get by......"
From time to time, there were people on the high platform muttering and discussing, not knowing how the artillery was going to move.
Even if Zhu Xu was curious, he whispered to himself: "Unless you give this mountain to Xiao Ping......"
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes opened and he couldn't help but get up.
"Don't be ......fooled by my crow's mouth," Zhu Xu was slightly shocked.
Just as Zhu Xu's words fell, the cannons stopped, five miles away from the hill, turned the cannon heads, and began to set up the formation.
The people on the high platform couldn't help but stand up, stretching their necks, their eyes eager to be stuffed into the binoculars, wanting to take a closer look.
"Fire!"
Not long after, the flag commander waved the flag and shouted loudly.
Bang bang bang
Suddenly, one black cannon after another began to bombard, and thick smoke billowed out of the world, like thunder, deafening.
Boom, boom, boom
The hills in the distance shook violently, and the rocks were scattered and the sky was full of dust.
"It's ...... Do you want to blow up this hill? ”
"It's miles away......
"It's a mountain......"
Someone is surprised, someone is inexplicable, someone is curious.
At this time, even the old lady Wu, who has been indifferent to the outside world, didn't know when to open his eyes, looked ahead, he didn't use the binoculars, he didn't speak, just watched quietly.
Boom, boom, boom
The artillery was increasing, and in the blink of an eye there were hundreds, firing in unison, smoke billowed and explosions thundered.
In the sound of the explosion, the earth mountain seemed to be cut by a knife, and gradually became shorter.
"Is this going to blow up?" A salt merchant touched a cold sweat and said tremblingly.
"Artillery can shoot so far, is there anything else that can't be knocked down? No matter how thick the walls are, they can be blown apart, right? ”
"Well-organized infantry, powerful cavalry, artillery ...... that blew everything up"
Many people on the high platform were covered in cold air and cold sweat. If they were given it again, even if someone put a knife on their necks, they would definitely not dare to oppose the court and the emperor!
Some of the marginal honorable ministers, the adults of Zhishi looked quite excited, they didn't expect that the army of the Ming Dynasty was already so strong!
Wang Beicheng and the others exhaled fiercely, although their hearts were pressed by this formation, they were also relaxed, after all, they had already 'surrendered', and they should not be included in making dumplings.
In front of them is the Wu family and others, the three brothers of the Wu family can no longer maintain their composure, the emperor has such an army, even if the whole world is in chaos, I am afraid that he will not be able to overthrow the Ming Dynasty!
The so-called change of dynasty is just a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water! It's delusional!
The faces of the three brothers changed and changed, looking at each other and looking at each other, and finally they all fell on the face of the old lady Wu in the middle.
What their Wu family did was based on the fact that Old Lady Wu thought that the Ming Dynasty was about to fall, and the change of dynasty was just around the corner, but now he didn't believe it!
Old Lady Wu didn't know when she had closed her eyes, and she couldn't see the slightest expression on her face.
Qian Qianyi, Shi Bangyao and others in front of them also saw it for the first time, the powerful army and powerful weapons really gave them a deep shock!
Now they are full of confidence, and they don't recognize all the requirements of the Wu family!
With this in mind, as well as the vast majority of the people here who were co-opted by the Wu family, they secretly gritted their teeth and no longer paid attention to the Wu family!
Fang Kongzhi and other civilian officials saw this military appearance, their hearts pounded, and they were shocked beyond words, what the army looked like a few years ago, they knew too well, they couldn't find a fighting army at all, it had long been decayed, when did there be such a military appearance!
Even Cao Huachun and other internal supervisors who were standing in the corner were quite shocked at this time, and in the book, these were completely invisible!
Cao Wenzhao, Yang Zhaoji and others looked calm, these troops were all trained by them, they knew it, but they still frowned from time to time, such a large-scale military exercise exposed a lot of problems, and they needed to be changed.
The most excited is Zhu Xu, this Cao Wenzhao really gave him a lot of surprises!
Infantry, cavalry, and artillery are all of them, which already have a preliminary modern combat power, and if it continues to develop like this, it is enough to cross the world!
He put down the binoculars and sat down in the chair, his hands clutching the handle fiercely, he could hear the sound of gee, he felt the pain in his fingers, but he didn't care at all!
After years of dedication and hard work, finally, I saw the flowers bloom!
Zhu Xu's chest rose and fell violently, squinting, and for a while, he thought too much, too much, which made his brain hurt!
On the high platform, a group of people have their own thoughts, which is complicated and difficult to understand.
But the martial arts show continued, and with the rumbling of artillery fire, the dirt mountain was cut small, and the smoke and dust were billowing out, making it difficult to see clearly.
The muzzles of the artillery were being adjusted, and by this time it was already easy, and the sound of cannons was as dense as thunder, and the shells fell in the dust.
In the telescope on the high platform, it didn't take long for a group of people to rush in, and then one cannon after another adjusted, re-put on the horse rope, and pulled into the original mountain where the smoke and dust had not dispersed. I don't know how long it took, but the dust slowly fell, and the artillery, infantry, and cavalry converged, and they lined up in the distance, facing the 'fortress'.
The lineup is strict and the flag is hunting.
This 'fortress' is built of railings and boulders in the telescope, and in the middle of the mountain, everyone understands that with the power of hundreds of cannons, let alone a 'fortress', it is a matter of time before a mountain wants to be razed to the ground!
Boom, boom, boom
Sure enough, the artillery fired, the rumble shook the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it was drowned out by the sound of explosions.
The 'fortress' trembled violently, and puffs of smoke rose into the sky!
On the high platform, almost everyone stood up, holding binoculars, their mouths dry and their hands shaking.
This is a small war, the Ming Dynasty only used less than 20,000 people and hundreds of artillery pieces to push the enemy!
Indestructible, unstoppable, sharp like a sword!
Old lady Wu was lying on the chair, keeping her eyes open, and her cloudy eyes were shining with wisps of essence.
In less than a stick of incense, the 'fortress' is full of Ming military flags, fluttering in the wind, magnificent!
"Is it over...... "Some people are still unsatisfied, excited, and excited.
Just as the man whispered, suddenly the five thousand cavalry suddenly moved and rushed towards the high platform.
Everyone's faces changed slightly, and just when someone was about to shout, the person in front of him didn't move, his heart was pounding, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
The cavalry moved, and the infantry behind also slowly turned, and turned around in a strict pace and walked in the direction of the high platform.
At this time, there was a wave of shaking from the north and south, followed by the erection of a large flag, and countless shouts of killing sounded.
"Kill!"
"Long live my emperor, long live the Ming Dynasty!"
In the panic of the people, tens of thousands of troops from the north and south came to kill here.
The forward cavalry, followed by the left, center and right armies, is a foot soldier, extremely fast, striding towards here!
The two armies are almost identical, and from the north and south, they are simply looking in the mirror.
Every move is harsh, strict, and indestructible!
"This is the mountain. The Eagle Yang Army of the East, Zhejiang. Jiang's Zhuo Yongjun? "Someone muttered to himself.
"So, here are 100,000 troops......" said to himself with horror.
It didn't take long for the forward cavalry to come to the high platform not far away, and the cavalry arrayed, with 15,000 people, standing in the front, all of them were tall horses, and they were awe-inspiring!
The soldiers followed, and the armies of the three parties converged, looking from a high place, like three squares, inlaid around the high platform, strict and neat, no more, no less than a piece!
Finally, under everyone's gaze, the hundreds of cannons were pushed closer to the front, and the muzzles of the black holes were staring at the high platform.
An indescribable atmosphere flowed, majestic, evil, cold, silent!
"See my emperor, long live my emperor!"
Suddenly, Cao Wenzhao came out of the ranks, knelt down on one knee to Zhu Xu, and shouted loudly.
followed by Yang Zhaoji, Wu Xiang, and then Fu Zonglong, Fang Kongzhi, etc.
"See my emperor, long live my emperor!"
A group of people on the high platform were so excited that they knelt on the ground and sang loudly.
"See my emperor, long live my emperor!"
The sound above the high platform did not fall, and under the high platform, the cavalry dismounted one after another, knelt on one knee, and shouted loudly.
After the cavalry and artillery, the infantry knelt on one knee and shouted loudly.
Not long after, 'See my emperor, long live my emperor!' 'Convergence as one, resounding in the entire martial arts arena, piercing through the clouds and shaking the nine heavens!
Zhu Xu stood in front of the high platform, with his hands behind his back, behind him were the civil and military generals, the gentry and the ministers, and in front of him was an army of 100,000!
He is agitated and proud!
This is my Ming, my army, my world!
