At present, the Qiongzhou army is reforming, gradually moving towards full firearms, replacing pikemen with bayonets, and finally completely eliminating pikemen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info cold weapon soldiers, only retaining heavy cavalry and ironclad soldiers, and ironclad soldiers are not simple cold weapon soldiers, but also serve as grenadiers.

In the end, the mountain soldiers also entered the full firearms, and they will be coordinated by rifled guns, double-barreled long guns, short guns and grenades, and fight with short knives and shovels at close range.

As for the sword and shield fighters and hand-to-hand combat soldiers needed for the siege, they will all be served by the new annexed army, such as Shang Zhixin's Yue army and Shang Zhixiao's Yue army, Geng Zhongge, Geng Jimao's Fujian army, etc., they are still mainly cold weapons and equipment, responsible for attacking the city, defending the city, protecting the camp, escorting food, or local security.

The next phalanx in the past, is wearing a red Ming military uniform, wearing a vest-style blue uniform, wearing a small white hat soldiers, these soldiers are auxiliaries and people, do not belong to the regular army, the queue is also very untidy, it looks loose, but these auxiliaries and people seem to have a very high morale, although the team is not neat, but everyone's face is full of confident expressions, the team through the review stand, enthusiastic and majestic roar like thunder rolling.

"They are auxiliaries, and some of them are not even soldiers, they are ordinary people, but they are the guarantee of the battlefield, we want to attack the city, we want to build siege weapons, build fortifications and barracks, fill in the obstacles to defend the city, and push carts forward, all need these auxiliaries and people." Wang Yuyou, who was standing behind Wang Xinyu, nodded and said.

According to the military reform of the Qiongzhou Army, the final result is to abolish the establishment of auxiliaries and civilian strong, and the auxiliary troops will be split into transport troops, engineering troops, quartermaster troops, financial troops, ordnance troops and other arms, and some auxiliary troops will be retired and returned to the localities. Eventually, the people will become militias, some of which will be incorporated into the railroad soldiers, and the rest will go home and become half-civilian and half-soldier militias.

However, although Wang Xinyu carried out military reforms, reformed the arms of the armed forces, and founded military schools, he only reformed the arms and made certain adjustments to the establishment of the army, but he did not adjust the names of the establishments, and still followed the original names of the army, towns, brigades, battalions, divisions, teams, flags, divisions, and corps, instead of adopting the Western-style establishment of armies, divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads, which is still the name of the East.

The reason why the later Eastern armies will also adopt Western names is not because the Eastern armies are backward, because the Western armies are strong, so the East imitates the West to train new armies, and then uses the Western establishment name. But now that the East already has its own powerful army, why ***** copy all of the West?

After the new annexes, auxiliaries and Minzhuang passed, starting from the cavalry squad that came from behind, the atmosphere in the square suddenly became lively, and the people watching the parade were all looking forward to what the next platoon would be.

The first to appear was the dragoon platoon. Walking at the forefront of the procession were two officers riding white Mongolian horses, the dragoon officers were dressed in bright red battle clothes, wearing six-petal bright light helmets, wearing cotton armor with red edges on a white background, red tassels fluttering on their heads, riding boots on their feet, and sabres and six thunderbolts hanging from their waists, looking majestic.

The dragoons behind were lined up with a row of ten people, a square formation of thirty columns, neatly passing through the review stand, the dragoons were all brown-red Mongolian horses under their crotches, and the officers and soldiers were all wearing red battle clothes, white and red cotton armor, wearing khaki soft felt hats, riding boots, carrying muskets on their backs, short guns and sabers hanging from their waists, and red tassels fluttering on their heads. With a loud roar from the officers in front, the three hundred dragoons drew their sabers and pointed them to the sky, and the light of the swords flashed dazzling white in the sunlight.

Behind the dragoons, there is a heavy cavalry team, the heavy cavalry is lined up with a row of eight people, and the thirty lines of columns pass through the review stand, each heavy cavalry is covered with heavy armor like an iron can, and the war horse is also covered with armor, with an arrow curtain hanging around his neck, a saber hanging on his waist, a disposable riding spear on his horse, and heavy weapons such as thick-backed machetes, heavy swords, axes, hammers or maces on horseback, which are specially used to deal with the enemy's heavy armor.

Heavy cavalry impact, relying on the impact of war horses can break through the opponent's formation. When chasing an enemy, the saber can be used to slash with the power of the horse. However, when encountering the opponent's heavy infantry or cavalry, the saber slash will make the saber curl the blade, and heavy weapons are needed to kill.

After the majestic heavy cavalry team passed, it was the most elite horse lance cavalry.

Wang [Fu] Chen rode a white horse, marching at the forefront of the team, behind is a row of eight people, a phalanx of twenty people in a column, all the horse lance cavalry are riding the best Don hippopotamus, the war horse is covered with light rattan armor, the horse neck is hung with an arrow curtain, all the horse lance cavalry are wearing rattan armor and cotton armor, the protection ability is actually not lost to the iron cavalry, and the horse lance cavalry wearing light armor is light weight, lasts for a long time, and runs fast.

The horse lance cavalry held a horse lance as long as one zhang and eight feet, that is, five meters long, known as the eight snake spears, all the horse lances pointed to the sky in unison, and the cavalry horse's hooves stepped on a rhythmic pace, trotting past the review stand.

"Wan Sheng!" The king [auxiliary] retained a loud roar.

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! One hundred and sixty horselance cavalry roared in unison, and the momentum was magnificent, shaking the sky.

The people standing in the square to watch the review were stunned, and some exclaimed: "Oh my God, one hundred and sixty snake spears!" That's one hundred and sixty fierce Zhang Fei! ”

"Look, these fierce Zhang Fei still have muskets! They are much more powerful than Zhang Fei of the Three Kingdoms! A middle-aged man who observed more carefully said.

Yes, the lance cavalry had two double-barreled stubs hanging from their waists and a long musket on their backs. Some officers had a six-shot Thunderbolt on their waists and a double-barreled rifled gun on their backs, all of which were the most elite equipment. In fact, the combat effectiveness of the horse lance cavalry surpassed that of the heavy cavalry, but the price was touching, and the horse lance was too difficult to manufacture, so it could not develop more.

The flying cavalry artillery in the back appeared, pulling a four-wheeled gun carriage that could run at high speed with two war horses, the front half of the gun carriage was a transporter, and the second half was a small cannon.

Next, there were rows of artillery platoons passing under the review stage one after another, there were all kinds of heavy artillery, field artillery, light artillery, howitzers, mortars, and the types of artillery were dazzling, and the people watching the audience could not tell what kind of artillery those were there, but it just made people feel that so many artillery pieces were too majestic.

Behind the artillery, there was a squad of fire vans. Ordinary people can't recognize what these things are, and they think they are heavy vehicles, and only those who have been soldiers know that they are powerful weapons of mass destruction. (To be continued.) )
