Chapter 974 - Spectacular
(There are actually 12,000 reminders, desperately, code now, immediately offered!) )
"Loyalty, glory!"
Li Jing stood on the tower of Chengtianmen City and shouted loudly, and in response to him was the neat and loud response of the soldiers under review: "Loyalty, glory, long live!" ”
The sound of long live continued to sound, and even many civil and military officials on the tower of Chengtianmen City were raising their arms and shouting, and no one paid attention to or cared about the shock on the faces of the delegation coming from Chang'an. For them, perhaps the word long live violated the taboo at this time, but for the soldiers of the Qin Domain, long live was just a slogan, their confidence in the Qin Domain, their complete disregard for the Chang'an Imperial Court, and their sincere support for Li Jing.
On Chengtianmen Square, followed by the sailors, there was a phalanx of the marines.
This amphibious sword, known as the dragon in the water and the tiger on land, is a special unit in the Qin Domain. They are specially composed of young people who are familiar with water in the coastal areas along the rivers and lakes, and after special training, they have a variety of combat capabilities on land, at sea, and underwater, and belong to the sailor troops, and are the vanguard of landing operations, the dragon of special operations at sea, and the iron fist of emergency attacks. Up to now, the entire naval division has a total of 200,000 troops, including 60,000 sailors, 40,000 coastal defense troops, and a full 100,000 marines. From the newly seized island of Heishui in the far north, to Vladivostok, the largest ice-free port in the north, and then the port of Yonghe, as well as the naval base of the DPRK, the port of Pyongyang, and the port of the mouth of the Yalu River. Then to the coast of the Liaodong Peninsula. Bohai Rim Circle. The headquarters of the Tianjin Navy Division extends to the mouth of the Yellow River, the Huaihe River, the Yangtze River, Hangzhou Bay, as well as Ryukyu Island, Hainan Island, and the coastal areas of Andong, etc., with tens of thousands of miles of maritime frontiers and important inland river estuaries. They are all there. The Naval Division has become an extremely important component of the Qin Domain, intimidating the entire southeast, even if the Qin Domain's Line of Actual Control in the south has always been on the Huai River. But relying on this powerful naval division, the influence of the Qin army has reached Annan, thousands of miles south, entering the Tianzhu Sea, and even west to the Great Food Sea.
Immediately following the appearance of the Marine Corps is the mysterious flying unit, this heroic flying team, formed by the Taihang Mountain Flight Academy. Since the secret formation began several years ago. And in the Third Battle of Daibei, it was officially put into use for the first time. He successfully captured the important fortress of Blackstone Fort in one fell swoop, and became famous in the first battle. In recent years, it has continued to expand, and a separate branch of the flying corps has been established. But to the outside world, many feudal towns know that the Qin army has such a mysterious, elusive, but sharp and incomparable air force, but no one knows the details of them. But today, at this military parade, the Qin army took the initiative to show this mysterious force. The squadron of pilots dressed in sky-blue uniforms came neatly, and this is a completely new unit, and so far, the squadron has a full 5,000 soldiers, and there are enough personnel in the logistics and research and equipment departments to serve them. Today's flying troops have a hot air balloon brigade, a paragliding brigade, an airboat brigade, as well as an unmanned hot air balloon brigade and an airborne troops. Although this new force is still being explored and its equipment is not perfect, it is a strategic force that can play a unique role at a critical time. As a result, the Qin army has the ability to attack in the air, strategic delivery, and airborne operations beyond land, sea, and underwater.
When the commentators proudly recounted the capabilities of these air units, the people in Chengtianmen Square cheered, and all the envoys from other feudal towns who came to watch the parade were even more shocked. Although they suspected that these air forces could not really be as mysterious as the commentators said, the idea of such an air strike by the Qin army alone was enough to make them full of admiration. What's more, in the air battle of the Third Daibei War mentioned by the narrator, many people present knew some things. It is said that Li Keyong sent troops to guard Puyin and Flying Fox, and he urgently returned to Daibei from Hebei to rescue Liu. As a result, Li Keyong thought that it was a one-man pass, and the flying fox was not opened, but it was broken without even blocking the Qin army for an hour, and it is said that at that time, the Qin army used two flying squadrons, one of which was the Hot Ball Squadron and the other was the paragliding squadron, which fell directly from the sky and captured the Black Stone Fort in one fell swoop. Li Keyong was separated from the follow-up troops, was ambushed by Li Jing, and almost died, and his wife Liu also became Li Jing's prisoner in that time, and even became Li Jing's later.
However, Li Jing, who was standing on the tower of the city gate, sighed a little in his heart for the flying troops. The flying troops spent a lot of energy, financial and material resources of the Qin Domain, and the ability to fight in the air, and this subversive combat method was also the driving force for them to support the construction of the flying troops, especially after the victory at Blackstone Fort. However, these years of efforts, but has not received any results, limited by the materials at this time, whether it is a hot air balloon, or a paraglider, there are great defects, even the fuel of the hot air balloon, is also extremely expensive, you have to use a special kind of petroleum crude oil, but this can be directly used for combustion to provide power of special crude oil The cost is very high. For various reasons, the flying units have not yet formed a stable combat effectiveness, but countless money has been spent. Now, Li Jing is already thinking that perhaps this era is not suitable for building an air force. He is already planning to abolish the separate branch of the flying troops, and the planning plan only retains a small number of flying troops and makes them subordinate to the special operations forces. Although there is some reluctance, there is no way to do it. Facts have now proved that the flying plan still failed. But even so, this did not prevent Li Jing's decision to put this mysterious air force on this parade this time, and even Li Jing boasted that the flying soldiers were extremely powerful.
Immediately after the phalanx of flying troops, there was the phalanx of airborne troops. These airborne troops are not the real airborne troops of later generations. Rather, it is an infantry carrying hot air balloons, similar to the Marine Corps of the Marine Division. Even so, the guests and people who could watch did not know about it, they only heard that these were airborne troops who could descend from the sky, and they were all very excited. I imagined all kinds of visions in my head. Groups of soldiers appeared over the battlefield in the clouds. And then one by one they fell from the sky, wow, this is simply a heavenly soldier.
When the seventy-two infantry phalanxes passed, the cavalry phalanxes rolled in from Chang'an Avenue one after another. The Qin army had a vast horse-producing area and controlled and conquered a large number of Guanwai tribes, so the Qin army's cavalry strength was extremely strong. Thirty-six cavalry phalanxes, the first of which was the dragoon hoplites of the Black Cavalry Legion. A huge cavalry phalanx composed of two battalions and a thousand cavalry slowly galloped by, and the torrent of iron horses and kingos made everyone feel a sense of heavy oppression. Iron men and iron horses are like huge iron cans, if the flying troops just now are still very mysterious, then this dragoon heavy cavalry is a direct deterrent.
The heavy cavalry of the Qin army has always been the trump card of the trump cards, the elite piled up by countless gold coins. They didn't make many sorties, but every time the hoplites attacked. All of them have become the last straw that crushes the camel's back. This unit is so famous, charging into battle. Invincible! So far, it has never been able to block the array of Qin army's heavy cavalry head-on. This is not to say that the heavy cavalry is invincible, but the heavy cavalry of the Qin army has an excellent timing every time they are invested, and the sharpest knives are always used at the most appropriate time. This gave the dragoons a reputation for invincibility.
After the heavy cavalry, there was the Shengjie army of gold armor, the silver spear army of silver armor, and then the elite ace cavalry army appeared one by one. At the end, it was composed of a total of eighteen once powerful Guanwai tribes, including the Khitan, Goguryeo, Xi, Bohai, Jian, Tatar, etc., who had now submitted to Li Jing.
The armor and banners of these cavalry were the same as those of the Qin army, but their uniform short hair and obvious tribal appearance still made everyone who watched the parade discover their different identities. Fierce, savage, and full of ferocity, this is the Hu tribe's Fan Ride. Seeing that so many fierce, barbaric and powerful tribal cavalry had submitted to Li Jing's command, few of the envoys of the feudal towns who watched the ceremony had a good face. Now it is rumored everywhere that Li Jing brought back a million tribal warriors from outside the pass, and now looking at this appearance, even if Li Jing did not bring back a million, it is estimated that there are more than 100,000 or 200,000. With this Tibetan army, Li Jing is really like a tiger.
Among the hundreds of thousands of people watching the parade on both sides of Chengtianmen Square and the ten-mile long street of Chang'an Avenue, there were many secret agents from other feudal towns. They watched the parade intently, and quietly recorded every Qin army unit that appeared, from the number, to their equipment, and even the age and ethnic composition of the soldiers. The more they recorded, the more frightened they became. The military might displayed by the Qin army is too powerful, this is really just an ordinary part of the Qin army, not the most elite batch specially selected? One by one, the phalanxes walked by, and each phalanx was full of more than 1,000 people. With such a huge square, the average army can only be lined up when stationary. The larger the platoon of the army, the more difficult it is to maintain the platoon while marching. Especially when fighting, it is often not far to travel, and you have to stop and form a team.
But they saw that the Qin army had walked past one square team after another, each with more than a thousand people, but with such a huge square team, they walked neatly. The parade steps kicked out by each soldier were so neat and uniform, and even people with good eyesight keenly saw that every step they kicked out was exactly about two feet, no more, no less. There are some clever people who have already discovered some clues, such as the music of the military band in the square, and the pace of those phalanxes, which seem to be stepping on the drums.
Elite, real elite. Seventy-two foot phalanxes, just the seventy-two foot phalanxes displayed by the Qin army in front of everyone, there are already more than 70,000 soldiers. These soldiers seem to be so elite, even if these soldiers are the elite of all the infantry of the Qin army, it is enough to make everyone secretly frightened. These are placed in other feudal towns, but they are all the elite of the elite, the level of tooth soldiers. And the Qin army, more than 70,000 were put out in a military parade, and how many such elites were there that haven't been put out yet? unimaginable. What's more, this is only the infantry, and these cavalry that came out behind this are really shocking.
Heavy cavalry, archers, lancers, crossbow cavalry
Fierce knights, tall horses, and excellent equipment. The pieces of shiny and dazzling breastplate are enough to make people feel dazed and powerless.
There was a secret agent of the feudal town, and he quietly wrote a line of secret words with a pen on his paper, if it is translated, it is, the Qin army, the real army of tigers and wolves, the elite of a hundred battles, the perseverance of the cloth, the eyes of the world, unstoppable!
