Chapter 107 The Meaning of Your Visit

Zhao Si was a Diaosi in his previous life, but he is a young monk in this life, and he has never seen any big world.

Of course, he has never seen such a thing as a monarch traveling. He has seen some in movies and TV dramas, but they are all made out of the lens, and it is not very shocking to watch.

Now the opportunity has come, the emperor wants to drive the Tianwu Army infantry paddock, parade the Imperial Army, and watch the military exercise.

As soon as we arrived at Maoshi in the early morning, the Tianwu Army was ready, and Zhao Si also came to Gao Qi to report early. Because in the past two months, the Tianwu Army has completely changed its outfits, and the soldiers are all dressed in black steel black armor. The equipment Zhao Si put forward The Tang-style Mo Dao made by Baogang method. Of course, everyone is holding a pulley block labor-saving bow improved by Zhao Si. This kind of bow has a steel back and looks a lot smaller, but it is very strong. Generally, it is around three stones. !This is the equipment of ordinary infantry.

According to Zhao Si's suggestion, the Tianwu Army divided some infantry and established the Shenji Battalion.

In fact, the word Shenjiying was copied by Zhao Si from the Ming Dynasty.In the Ming Dynasty, there was a special unit that used firearms, called the Shenjiying. The nature of the Shenjiying was equivalent to the nature of the Second Artillery that Zhao Si knew.

When Zhao Si went to the Northern Song Dynasty, he actually encouraged Gao Qi to also set up the Shenji Camp, intending to gradually separate the Shenji Camp of the Tianwu Army and make it the best of the elite of the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty.The current Shenji Battalion is equipped with a five-person wheel-axle-lever-pulley complex labor-saving ballista modified by Zhao Si, with a firing force of more than [-] stones, which can easily launch the bulky rocket launcher to a distance of [-] steps...

There are five hundred such five-man crossbows equipped!Each crossbow is equipped with one hundred rocket launchers!So the Shenji Battalion, together with the soldiers carrying the arrows, is about 7000 to [-] people.

Now, in front of the infantry phalanx that is waiting solemnly, are the elite soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and their ballistas!

Zhao Si stood next to coach Gao Qiu on a high podium, waiting for the emperor to arrive.

When the sun was shining, I finally heard the sound of horns and other musical instruments, but I heard Gao Qiu say: "The holy driver is here!"

"Then hurry down and pick up the driver!"

"This time, you are also going to pick him up together! The old man has shown your merits in front of the Holy One, and the Holy One has authorized you to pick him up!"

"Thank you, sir! Let's pick him up quickly, shall we?"

"That's not urgent! We haven't even seen Liuyin and the big banner yet. The Holy One is still far away, and we can't leave the barracks!" Gao Qiu said with a smile.

"What are Liuyin and Dazhu?"

"Dajia is at the front, with Kaifeng Ling, Kaifeng Mu, Taichangqing, Situ, Yushi Dafu, and Minister of the Ministry of War at the front. They are called "Six Yin". Then there are twelve "big flags", which are big flags. There are several people supporting the big banner..." Gao Qiu seemed to be very excited, and chattered endlessly to Zhao Si to introduce the emperor's ceremonial guard.

Zhao Si only felt that there were people everywhere, but everything was in order, looking grand and solemn. Behind the big banner was the "Qing You Squad" responsible for clearing and patrolling the field, and its members held bows, crossbows and lances.Followed by the Suzaku team holding the Suzaku flag, holding lances and crossbows.Then there are twelve dragon flags: one each for Fengbo and Yushi, one each for Leigong and Dianmu, one each for Wood, Fire, Earth, Gold, and Mercury, one each for Left and Right Sheti flags, and one for Beidou. .Behind the flag is a special fleet, including guide cars, Jiligu cars, egret cars, Luanqi cars, Pi'e cars, Pixuan cars, etc.

Each cart is drawn by four horses, and there are 14 drivers and one craftsman.At this point, the guard of honor for the pilot is over, followed by the guard of honor for the pilot.

The guard of honor for guiding and driving is different from the guard of honor for guiding and driving. It is mainly based on music and fighting, and the civil and military officials accompanying the emperor are also included.The leader of the guard of honor is a guard team composed of twelve rows of cavalry holding horizontal knives, bows and arrows, respectively, which are called "twelve layers of leading driving".

Followed by a huge advocacy band, there are two advocacy orders in front of the band who are responsible for conducting the performance.The musical instruments of the band are mainly various drums, mainly drums, big drums, cymbal drums, festival drums, snare drums, Yubao drums, etc., as well as wind instruments such as flute, Xiao, Jia, long-ming and middle-ming, big horizontal blowing, and 筚篥and other percussion instruments such as Jin Cheng, the entire band is composed of nearly a thousand people.

After the band is a flag array composed of various streamers, buildings, flags, etc.Some accompanying officials and the emperor's horse are also mixed in the flag array.

After the flag array, there are Qinglong flags and Baihu flags on the left and right.Behind the two flags are the accompanying court officials.In the middle of this team, cavalry and infantry soldiers with weapons were interspersed and mixed.

Behind the guard of honor is the jade 辂 on which the emperor rides.The emperor's car is the core of the entire guard of honor, so the guards are extremely strict.

Yuren is driven by the imperial servant, surrounded by dozens of drivers in front and behind, and escorted by the left and right generals on both sides.Yu Ren was followed by the senior generals and eunuchs of the Forbidden Army.On the periphery of these escorting officials, there are many teams of cavalry and infantry of the forbidden army. The number of forbidden soldiers in each team varies, and each team is led by a general.Forbidden soldiers are equipped with bows, arrows, knives and other weapons, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.Following behind the forbidden soldiers is a guard of honor composed of peacock fans, small group fans, square fans, Huang Hui, Jiang Hui, and Xuanwu buildings.

There is also a "rear advocacy" band behind the emperor's car. The musical instruments of the band are similar to the advocacy band in front of Yuren, but the scale is relatively small, but there are hundreds of people.Immediately following the "rear advocacy" are various chariots dedicated to the emperor, including square chariots, small chariots, waist chariots, golden chariots, elephant chariots, leather chariots, five pairs of chariots, plowing chariots, security chariots, four-looking chariots, etc. Cars, sheep carts, genus carts, yellow-axed carts, leopard-tailed carts, etc.The left and right Weiwei Zhechong captains each led hundreds of soldiers, divided into four horizontal rows, holding big halberds, swords and shields, bows and arrows, and crossbows respectively, and followed the leopard-tailed chariot as a cover.Each cart is drawn by horses and has a varying number of chauffeurs.

At the end of the guard of honor is the rear guard, and in front are the left and right infantry teams led by two generals, which are divided into two square formations, front and rear, with a flag as the forerunner.Soldiers all wear pockets on their heads, wear armor, and hold bows, knives, and shields. The attire of each team is the same color and arranged alternately.In the middle are the left and right chambers, which are divided into twelve rows, holding bows, knives, halberds, shields, peacock cloaks, goose feather cloaks, and chicken feather cloaks respectively.Huang Huizhan was followed by Shuzhan, holding ancient guard weapons such as Shu.Finally, there is the flag array composed of the left and right cavalry of the guard cavalry and the flag team.The same kind of legendary gods and monsters are painted on the flags held by each flag team, such as evil spirits, jade horses, yellow dragons, unicorns, dragon horses, triangle beasts, basalt, and golden bulls.After the flag array, there is another yellow battle array composed of infantry soldiers, and there are cavalry guards.

The hustle and bustle was extremely grand, and Zhao Si was so shocked that he was dazed. He originally thought that he was a first-class monster, and he didn't know anything, and he hadn't seen anything, but at this time, he actually seemed to be following his parents. The primary school student who went to see the teacher obediently followed Gao Qiu to pick him up, knelt in the dust and shouted long live, and even listened to Gao Qiu's words so much that he didn't even have the courage to look up at the emperor Zhao Ji!
Zhao Si had been in a drowsy state all along, and when he gradually recovered his consciousness, he had followed Gao Qi to the podium again!The emperor stood on the high reviewing platform, accompanied by Cai Taishi, Tong Shumi, He Zhizhong, Zhang Shangying, Liu Zhengfu, Yu Shen, Wang Fu and other confidant ministers and qualified officials. Gao Qiu and Zhao Sineng watched from afar.

"It's such a big scene!" Zhao Si sighed, and there was another saying that Liu Bang saw Qin Shihuang going out, very dignified and majestic, and sighed: "A man should be like this." .He thought of these two sentences, of course he felt that he did not have such ambitions!

"That's natural!" Of course, Gao Qiu didn't know what Zhao Si was thinking, and said, "This is the emperor's guard of honor, that's the emperor's majesty! As far as I know, the composition of this guard of honor and the number of guards vary from generation to generation. There are as many as Renzong, who used 61 and 4000 people for every big driver; today, he is frugal, such as this big driver, and at most three to [-] people are used...Of course, after all, this is the Tianwu Military Academy, so the guards can bring less , otherwise, it would be even grander than this scene!"

"So when do we start?"

"Later, the imperial decree will be issued..." Before the words fell, the imperial decree arrived.

A capable young eunuch galloped over on a fast horse, shouting, "The imperial decree has arrived! Commander Si Gaoqiu will receive the decree in front of the palace!"

Gao Qiu, Zhao Si and other generals all knelt down, Gao Qiu said: "I accept the order!"

"The edict said: The country cannot be defended without defense, and the people cannot be protected..." The eunuch was full of energy, and after reading for a while, Zhao Si couldn't understand many classical Chinese words and phrases, but he understood the meaning at the end. That is to say, the big reading can start now!

Gao Qiu took the imperial edict, thanked him, sent the eunuch away, raised the imperial edict high, and said: "Generals and soldiers, the military parade begins!"

Then, with a wave of the flag in his hand, boom!Boom! ... After a burst of cannon fire, all the soldiers began to shout: "Long live! Long live! Long live!" After these majestic shouts, the formation began to change, drums and horns contended, and the school ground was full of chilling atmosphere!

First of all, the phalanx is transformed into a battle formation, and the newly built Shenji Battalion cart crossbow is placed in formation, and slowly advances!On the distant horizon, suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes!

The crossbow continued to move forward, followed by more than [-] ordinary infantry who were also drawing arrows and bows, ready for it!
The cavalry in the distance swept over like a huge dark cloud!

Suddenly, the crossbow team stopped advancing, arranged their formation, and began to fix the crossbow, string it up, and then the bazooka was mounted on the crossbow, commanding with the flag waving, and ignited the fuse at the same time!At this time, the cavalry that swept towards them like a cloud entered the shooting range. Of course, they were not within [-] paces, but they were moving rapidly. The arrows shot out and moved quickly, heading towards each other. This time the firing was just right!

With the flag waving, the first row opened the machine and released arrows!Then the second row, then the third row, then the fourth row!After the rockets in the fourth row were shot out, the fuses of the second wave in the first row were ignited again. After adjusting the shooting angle, they shot out again with the flag waving!In this way, the firepower is continuous and the strikes are repeated, without giving the enemy a chance to breathe!
