Chapter 212: Demonstration
The three-meter-high viewing platform is covered with a bright red felt carpet, which is particularly eye-catching. Under the stage, forty cowhide drums are lined up, and forty drummers are waving drumsticks, and they are beating vigorously in a neat order. The sound of war drums resounded between heaven and earth. With the sound of war drums, soldiers holding flags rushed into the arena. The flags fluttered in the wind, making a hula-la sound. Beside each flag, there is a soldier standing with a knife.
Amidst the sound of drums, Gao Yuan took the lead, followed by Wu Kai and Zheng Jun. Behind the three were dozens of gentry from two counties. Thousands of soldiers lined up in the dark, but there was no sound. Standing on the stage, a heavy pressure rushed over. The gentry who were talking and laughing just now immediately restrained the smiles on their faces, and stared at the scene without turning their eyes. Cyan ocean.
Although they are all gentry from the same county, they are all people who have seen the world, but they have never seen this kind of military parade, and it is a military parade with thousands of people, and they are excited, but also a little trembling.
This is Gaoyuan's army, but in another sense, it is also their army, because Zhang Shouyue has divided Fufeng and Chima into a defensive zone, and this defensive zone has only this army. Their strength determines their life and death, as well as their poverty and wealth.
An officer walked towards the viewing platform from a distance, walking very slowly, steadily, with big strides, and when he got a little closer, everyone on the stage let out an exclamation, they all recognized this man , that was Cao Tiancheng's exclamation. It was because Cao Tiancheng was very familiar with them, everyone on this stage had dealt with him before, and that one was wearing plain clothes. The middle-aged man with a smile on his face and a little chubby in the study, on the wine table, fighting with them, fighting with them for every penny of interest, is a real businessman. They I have hardly seen Cao Tiancheng wearing military uniforms. Until now, I saw him wearing brand-new military uniforms. Cao Tiancheng, holding a waist knife in his hand, walked step by step to the audience, and everyone suddenly came to their senses. This guy seems to be the second in command after Gao Yuan in this army!
Cao Tiancheng walked down the stage, stood with his feet together, and looked up. at the same time. Forty big drums stopped at the same time.
He stood under the stage, clenched his fist with his right hand, and tapped the leather armor on his left chest, "Reporting to the county captain, all the ministries are ready for military parade." He roared with all his strength.
Gao Yuan took a step forward and returned the salute with the same gesture as Cao Tiancheng. "It's time to start."
"Yes!" Cao Tiancheng replied loudly, taking a step back. Huo Di turned around, held his right hand on the hilt of the saber, and with a clang, the gleaming saber came out of its sheath, held high in the air, and fell heavily. As the saber fell, the forty drums sounded again, which was different from the rushing drumbeats before. This time, it was one blow at a time, and the interval between each attack was longer.
With the sound of drums beating on the apex of the heart, the sound of heavy footsteps sounded from the left side of the school field, and the first row of soldiers in Tsing Yi started to move forward. of Sun Xiao.
One row after another, a total of twenty rows of soldiers, a square formation of 25 soldiers totaling 500 soldiers marched towards the center of the school field in neat steps. Hundreds of people moved together, trampling on the ground, but It's a rhythm. Standing on the stage, Bai Yucheng can see clearly that these soldiers almost have the same body tremors, which makes him a little shocked. How much effort it takes to practice these doll-like moves Soldier.
Ten steps away from the first phalanx, the second phalanx started to set off again, and Naha walked in front of the second phalanx,
One thousand soldiers from Fufeng Battalion officially unveiled.
The sound of rumbling footsteps rolled over, and gradually walked into the viewing platform. Sun Xiao turned his head to look at the stage, and pressed down the sword he held high in his hand, and as he pressed down, the soldier holding the spear in his hand issued a signal at the same time. With a roar, the spear in his hand slanted forward, and with a swish, all the people watching the ceremony on the stage let out an exclamation. In their eyes, the sharp spear almost brushed the soldiers in front and stabbed it out. For a while, in their eyes, they could only see the black spear shafts and sharp spearheads. They could not see the rows of soldiers between the spears until the procession passed the stage.
At this time, the heads of the soldiers turned around in unison, looking at the stage, their eyes were only looking at one person, that is Gao Yuan, the fanatical eyes made Bai Yucheng feel a little numb.
A layman watching the fun, an expert watching the doorway, Bai Yucheng himself is a leader of soldiers, he understands much better than everyone on the stage, he knows what this look represents, because among his horse bandits, he His subordinates looked at him in the same way, as long as he gave an order, even if they were to die, they would rush towards the scythe of death without hesitation.
But compared with his own team, this team has another advantage that he can't compare with it at all, and that is discipline. Looking at it from the side, it looked like a straight line. The spears were almost in a parallel line, and Bai Yucheng's hands shrunk into his sleeves were trembling slightly. It looked good to laymen, but in his eyes, it showed another scene.
On the boundless grassland, the cavalry came galloping on horseback, but what greeted them was a forest of guns that stood still like a mountain. All the guns were slanting upwards. If the cavalry dodged in that direction, they would all be stabbed and fell off the horse with neat spears.
He took a deep breath.
After the first phalanx, there was the second phalanx of Fufengying, led by Naha, and then the two phalanxes of Chimaying led by Zheng Xiaoyang.
Two thousand people, four phalanxes, in Bai Yucheng's eyes, there is no difference, they are all exactly the same, which makes people feel scared. I really don't know how this Gao Yuan trained such an army.
Gao Yuan seemed to feel Bai Yucheng's fiery gaze behind him, turned his head, looked at Bai Yucheng, smiled and said in a low voice: "It's just a show, just to amuse everyone!"
Bai Yucheng smiled wryly. With such a strict military discipline, even Miranda's family guards in Donghu Wangting could not match it. He even said it was a show. Although this was the first time he saw Gao Yuan's infantry team, just looking at it This extremely strict military discipline can basically explain the problem.
For an army, the most difficult problem is how to ensure military discipline.
The four phalanxes gathered under the viewing platform, and it was finally the turn of the cavalry. Bai Yucheng cheered up. He had seen this cavalry before, and his subordinates were full of cavalry. He wanted to see if these cavalry could still What tricks to play.
But this time he was disappointed. The cavalry rode one after the other, connecting end to end, circled around, and stopped behind the infantry. To the extreme.
Under the stage, Cao Tiancheng crossed his sabers in his hands and made a false slash. Two thousand soldiers raised their spears and began to trot on the spot. During the trot, the team slowly spread out, from the previous four tight square formations, slowly The ground covered the entire school field, and there were no more or no less between each soldier, and the distance between each soldier was one meter.
"The exercise begins!" Cao Tiancheng shouted loudly.
With a roar, the spear was raised flat, and with the sound of the wind, it stabbed forward. There was another roar, a step forward, the tail of the gun swung obliquely, another roar, the tail of the gun moved forward, and it was thrust forward again.
The movements are very simple, without any fancy movements, but it is hard to see that the movements of two thousand people are the same, and they are playing one movement at the same time point, which is very spectacular. Wu Kai on the stage and the crowd The gentry was very excited to see it, their palms were red with joy and joy, and even a gloomy Zheng Jun was beaming with joy. With such an army, the Donghu people will come again, but they will not be afraid.
All the spear movements of the soldiers are six or seven moves over and over again, each move is the simplest, but the most practical, the only difference is that the soldiers' movements are getting faster and faster, but no matter how fast the two thousand soldiers are They were all kept at the same point in time, and before he knew it, Bai Yucheng's palms were already wet with sweat.
"Stop!" Following Cao Tiancheng's roar, Bai Yucheng realized that the soldiers performing martial arts had returned to their original positions. They bowed together and put the spears by their sides. It was such a simple action, Bai Yucheng also discovered that the spears in the hands of a column of soldiers were placed in a straight line, and the spears were connected end to end without any difference.
"Knife!" Cao Tiancheng's angry roar sounded again, and the two thousand soldiers stretched their hands on their backs. With a click, the big knives held by both hands appeared in their hands at the same time.
The roar sounded again, and the movements were still extremely simple, chopping, slashing, cutting, blocking, stabbing, but compared with the spear, the big knife was more dazzling and more dazzling.
After the saber, there is a whole set of boxing techniques. Compared with the previous spear and saber techniques, although the boxing techniques are beautiful, they are not so practical. This is purely for the soldiers to train their bodies, and also to exercise their agility and flexibility. The lethality was very limited. But then, the fight between every two rows of soldiers surprised Bai Yucheng again. The punches that he thought were useless just now showed their power, because he Every move and every style of the attack is incomparably sinister, and it deals with the enemy's joints, genitals, and lower abdomen. Twist people's joints, kick people's genitals, and the tricks are hard to guard against.
Glancing at Gao Yuan, there was no expression on this person's face. It seemed that all of this was within his expectation, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, what kind of monster is able to train such a soldier!
