The second phalanx is still walking on foot, and the person leading the way is Huan Wen.
Like Xu Zheng and ran min, Huan Wen also wore full-length military clothes. They wore fancy and gorgeous styles.
The so-called fancy is that there are many complex carving patterns on the armor, which can be simple chapter patterns or patterns of some kind of beast. The chest and shoulders also have animal heads, and the pockets on the head are also animal head styles.
The armor that is really worn on the battlefield will not have any carved patterns. The smoother the armor is, the better. When the weapon is cut or stabbed, it will slide away, so that those carved patterns will not become the force point.
The soldiers of the second square array were wearing medium armour of fish scale style. Each of them carried a long halberd in their hands. When they reached the white line, they shouted "ten thousand years of your majesty, ten thousand years of the great man", and made an action similar to splitting a gun. They held the rod out in their left hand and the tail of the rod in their right hand. The long halberd was half tilted to the sky.
In the sound of heavy steps, the warriors wearing fish scale armor and holding a long halberd are composed of halberd holders, painting admirers and assistants in each general's shogunate. They are the most basic staffing of a general, and also bear the heavy responsibility of planning tactics, issuing orders and guarding.
Liu Yan turned to Ji Chang and said, "I put them in the second order, not in the face of the ministers, but that they are really very important and qualified to enjoy such an honor."
Jiji Lang is mostly the descendant of some senior officials and Gao Jue. Some are simply the legitimate sons of incompetent. Liu Yan is not talking nonsense and comforting people. It is these incompetent guys who do Jiji Lang well.
In the first phalanx just passed, although the arms are unfamiliar soldiers, their personnel composition is selected from 13 standing armies, including those with titles ranging from Zuo Shu's elders to those with low titles. The level of titles is only the difference between the accumulation of meritorious deeds, and some have made contributions early and slowly accumulated into high titles, Some have made meritorious deeds recently and have not had time to accumulate more meritorious deeds.
Although Ji Chang does not intervene in the military, it does not mean that he has not studied the military. He is very clear about the importance of some staff officers and auxiliary personnel to the war situation.
In fact, among the actual combat arms of the Han Army, the long halberd soldiers have been eliminated for a long time. Generally, they are only used as etiquette personnel of non actual combat arms.
It should be said that since the Western Han Dynasty, the long halberds have been eliminated. They are not weak chickens. On the contrary, the long halberds are very powerful, but no one knows how to train the long halberds.
Halberd has always been a weapon that relies heavily on skills. People who use halberd are either vulnerable to attack or dominate the world by force. There are evil in ancient times and LV Fengxian in recent times.
In the Warring States period of Wei, their soldiers used halberds as weapons. Wu Qi knew how to train such arms and how to motivate and command them. Naturally, Wei's soldiers were invincible in the world.
Without Wu Qi, no one in the state of Wei knew how to train long halberds, let alone how to use long halberds on the battlefield. Wei Wuzu, once invincible in the world, became a complete weak chicken.
The third phalanx succeeded the second phalanx to the white line. It was still a slogan, but there was no further positive step.
The third square was led by Li Tan, who rode on a majestic horse. The third square was a knight regiment.
Each Knight's mount is quite majestic. Their dress is the type of bow cavalry. The riding bow and arrow bag are placed on the left and right sides of the horse's neck. One hand pulls the reins and the other hand presses on the saber at the waist.
Archers need high flexibility. Naturally, horses don't wear armor, and knights only wear light leather armor. The only thing that can be related to ornateness is the red cloak behind each knight.
Keshias of the viewing platform immediately compared the archers of the Han Empire.
The Persians have always had two ace arms. The first is a heavy cavalry equipped with armour, and the second is a bow cavalry good at riding and shooting. Relying on these two ace arms as sharp knives, they are invincible in central and West Asia. Even in the early days of facing the Romans, they have won big victories again and again.
"Their horses are somewhat inferior to ours." Keshias narrowed his eyes and said proudly, "our horses look more majestic than theirs."
The horses in Persia are indeed very majestic and elegant in posture, but the Persian horses lack endurance and have no commendable charging ability. Weight bearing should be its greatest advantage.
According to the breed, the Persian horse should be a kind of hot-blooded horse. It looks very good. Compared with the military value, it is worse than the Mongolian horse.
Julian heard the "hum" in his heart. If he didn't need to improve his relationship with sassanne, he would have to satirize that the Persian cavalry was scum when they met the Roman Legion.
The Romans did not attach importance to cavalry, but they had been the overlord of Europa for more than a thousand years. They were infantry supremacists and thought that the Roman army could sling any cavalry. It seems that previous war examples have repeatedly confirmed this.
After the bow cavalry, there was a square array of knights. It looked like a sudden cavalry, led by LV Tai.
If there are many kinds of cavalry, the sudden cavalry should be the most balanced one. He has no armour mounted abnormal protection, but he still has a strong assault ability. He didn't have the flexibility of light cavalry, but he could also run and shoot.
The sudden cavalry of the Han army was fully refitted in the seventh year of Yuanshuo, and plate armor replaced all kinds of armor. The sudden cavalry before the change is a sharp knife on the battlefield. After the change, the sudden cavalry becomes sharper. Their repeated entry represents the beginning of a war, which belongs to the general attack of the Han Army, and will reap the fruits of victory.
Then there was another square array of knights, most of which were sudden cavalry. There was only one square array of archers, light cavalry and heavy cavalry.
Waiting for the appearance of a crossbow array, all the infantry behind are on foot.
Crossbow soldiers, bow soldiers, sword and shield soldiers, sword and shield soldiers, long spearmen... Nearly ten square arrays passed one after another.
The appearance of each square array will cause bursts of cheers. The Han people who came to watch were flushed with excitement. They were not stingy with their cheers, even if they were hoarse.
There has been no similar scene in this land for a long time. In fact, they don't know what a strong army looks like. They only know that the Han Army has repeatedly sent back the news of victory on every battlefield. Looking at the split array, it is so powerful and majestic that they firmly believe that their country is the most powerful country in the world!
"In terms of momentum..." Cicero decided to tell the truth: "our military parade is soft compared with the Han Empire."
Any Roman, including Julian, did not know how to refute when they heard it.
The Romans also liked the military parade, but they didn't pay attention to the formation, that is, the soldiers walked loosely according to the establishment, the queue looked crooked, and they could whistle to the beautiful women who were watching, suggesting a battle at night. It was really no better than the momentum shown by the Han Empire.
Persians are melancholy. They have never had a military parade. There are no examples to compare.
The situation in other countries is similar. The only thing that can be a little similar to the military parade is the promotion of the army when it goes out to fight. There is really no special military parade.
"Look at those Han people." Kiyanush spent nearly four years in the Han Empire and was more qualified to say more: "they have an expression of extreme pride on their faces. If they just line up to show good-looking, I will laugh at it. It's just false pride. But the army of the Han Empire has won on the battlefield again and again."
Keshias turned to his cousin and said, "maybe we should learn from this activity that can boost national morale."
The two royal family members of Persian Sassanian instantly reached an alliance in the eye to eye. They decided to make serious and serious suggestions to Shapur II and at least hold a grand military parade.
They decided that the parade template belonging to bossashan should be based on what they saw today, so it must be to select good soldiers for special training. Maybe you can get some private benefits from it? Such as military power. If you do it, your reputation will certainly increase!
Most foreign visitors are having a heated discussion. The topic is that their own country should also hold a military parade. They have the idea that doing so can boost morale.
"Be careful." Liu Yan will definitely let Liu Shen be present today. He will let Liu Shen wait inside the city tower early. He will not let him out until a short meeting at the beginning of the military parade: "do you have any ideas when you see the passing military array?"
When Liu Shen just appeared, he caused cheers. One square array after another walked past. It was impossible to tell whether there were cheers for his appearance or whether the cheers were given to the military parade.
Xu Zheng, ran min, and others who led the phalanx through the division, also came to the city tower to watch the next military parade. When they heard Liu Yan ask Liu Shen, they immediately raised their ears and waited for the answer.
"Mighty and majestic!" Liu Shen first gave a standard answer like a panacea. After thinking about it, he said, "with them, the Great Han can protect his family and defend his country and expand his territory?"
Liu Yan's expression remained unchanged. He touched Liu Shen's head with his hand.
After hearing Liu Shen's answer, the people around him showed a happy expression, especially the martial arts man.
In fact, what Liu Shen said was repeatedly repeated by Liu Yan in private. When Liu Shen was asked, he could pick up and answer. It did not belong to Liu Shen's own thinking, nor did it mean that Liu Shen really thought that way.
But it doesn't matter. What Liu Shen said on this occasion is the most standard and correct answer.
Liu Yan became emperor. He can't seem to leave the crown prince vacant before he became emperor. He can imagine that if he didn't act for a long time, all officials should act.
The first emperor did not have a queen, nor did he set up a prince, which taught a great lesson to future dynasties.
In the dynasties after the Qin Empire, the Queen's position could still be vacant, but it was necessary to set up a prince, and even felt that it was better to have an inappropriate Prince than not.
Liu Shen is Liu Yan's eldest son. Although today's big men do not pay attention to the rules of eldest son inheritance, and the prince does not necessarily choose Liu Shen, the concept of eldest son inheritance still exists.
In fact, more importantly, no one thinks that the crown prince can not be replaced.
If Liu Shen doesn't make mistakes after being made crown prince, he will naturally be able to put the crown prince in prison and become a "ruler of the world".
If Liu Shen makes mistakes again and again, small things naturally need education, which belongs to the scope of salvation. Waiting for him to really make a big mistake and kick the crown prince. At the same time, if Liu Yan feels that he is not a candidate who can inherit the unification, he can be regarded as a shield for the real dragon, secretly cultivate the real heir, and replace it at the right time.
In today's military parade, the queen, imperial concubines and those with grades were not present, and Liu Yan's descendants were only Liu Shen, so the signal was very obvious.
All officials must play at the subsequent meeting, asking Liu Yanli and Liu Shen to be crown prince, and there will be as many plays as snowflakes. No one will miss them if they are qualified to play.
The parade was not over yet. When Liu Yan asked Liu Shen, a square array that looked different came from the distance.
The array is still walking on foot, but they can't see anything related to armor at all. They are wearing strange clothes and the weapons in their hands are confusing.
Liu Yan continued to touch Liu Shen's head and said solemnly, "take a good look, they will be the masters of the battlefield and open a new chapter of the times."
The soldiers who came in line were dressed in clothes separated from trousers. The color of the clothes was dark green. If there were walkers present, they would be stunned. All because of the square array coming, their military uniforms, including the pointed helmets on their heads, were basically imitating the style of the German army in World War I.
Why doesn't Liu Yan directly engage in modern combat clothing? It is not a weapon factor, and it is also considered that changing over time is a formal process.
The soldiers who are walking are holding guns in one hand and pressing the belt around their waist in the other. In fact, their walking momentum is not as majestic or powerful as the square array of cold weapons just now.
"What's that?" Julian had never seen a similar weapon: "looking at the main body is a wooden structure, there is nothing sharp. Is it a stick soldier?"
It's amazing, God's special staff soldier.
"The style of clothes... Looks really good." Helena praised, "very, very spirit!"
It's not just Helena. It should be said that foreign visitors have seen sharp and spirit from the style of clothes, and men feel that they should also be cut.
On the tower, there are hundreds of officials who are qualified to stand around Liu Yan. They are not unfamiliar with the new arms. They know that they are the new arms that Liu Yan attaches great importance to. They have also seen such soldiers carry out four stage shooting. They firmly believe that Liu Yan says such soldiers are the masters of the battlefield in the future.
When the Han people saw the new soldier array, they didn't know what kind of arms it was because they were stunned. Many people also had the adjective "stick soldier" in their mouth.
The scene that should have been shocked did not appear, and the audience only gave polite cheers
