Chapter 916: Thank you to the leader of the Mocui Party Alliance!


Osmanthus flowers are fragrant in August.

Li Chao's class returned to the court, and the triumphant soldiers and horses arrived in Xiangyang, and His Royal Highness the Prince Regent of the Jianguo brought the prime ministers and the generals of the Privy Council to the Xiangyang Wharf to greet him.

Near the pier, there is a sea of people.

Everyone rushed to meet the invincible military god Li Chao.

As soon as Li Chao got off the boat, he saw Prince Chengqian standing on top of a chariot wearing dazzling gold armor.

Cheng Qian is young, but the set of gold armor is very close-fitting, so he actually has a bit of a general's atmosphere.

Li Chao frowned, he didn't know which fool had made such a body for the prince.

"Minister Li Chao pays a visit to His Royal Highness the Prince."

Cheng Qian jumped off the chariot with a smile and helped Li Chao up.

"Taiwei quickly flattened, you are a great hero of my Tang Dynasty, retreat to Goguryeo and surrender to Xiqi, and then accept Monan, such feats, please be alone first" After speaking, Cheng Qian bowed to Li Chao.

Li Chao hurriedly stepped aside, "Your Highness killed your subordinates." ” "Teacher, please follow me into the chariot."

Li Chao didn't want to be in the limelight, but the prince was so enthusiastic, and he didn't want to save his face, so he had to get on the chariot.

Every man has a dream of being a general right away, and Cheng Qian's role as a crown prince seems to be no exception.

Although he is still young and the crown prince, he also followed Li Chao to suppress the barbarians and saw the bloody and cruel battlefield with his own eyes.

Cheng Qian proposed that he should personally inspect the officers and men of the Triumphant Shenji Army on the edge of the wharf.

The 20,000 Shenji Army, expanded in Hebei and grew up in Hebei, although the time was only more than half a year, but this army was very famous in the temporary capital Xiangyang.

All kinds of rumors about the Shenji Battalion, all kinds of imaginations about firearms, in short, in the rumors, this unit is a heavenly soldier that Xiangguo Li Chao borrowed from the gods of heaven and thunder fury.

Today, countless people on the dock are watching, not only to welcome Li Chao's victory, but also to see this heavenly army with their own eyes.

Of course, Li Chao had to meet the crown prince's request.

Besides, he is also willing to let the Shenji Army show his face, the soldiers are fighting hard in the north, although the real battle has only been fought twice, but it is also a good thing to have the opportunity to show his face in front of the prince, Li Chao can't wait for it.

Before arriving in Xiangyang, the soldiers had already changed into the cleanest military robes, and the soldiers with armor also wiped their armor shiny, and those without armor also wiped their helmets brightly.

The flag is bright.

The musketeers deliberately put the flat bayonet on the barrel, the bayonet is very easy to put on, there is a bayonet after the barrel is set, and a set of cards will not be loosened.

It also does not affect the continuation of reloading and shooting, but the bayonet is generally only loaded during combat.

But then, in order to make it more imposing, the musketeers polished their bayonets brightly and put them on the barrels.

A rifle with a shining bayonet.

In addition, these musketeers had already trained and were accustomed to the queue, so when they marched, under the drumbeat of the military band, the uniform pace, the kicking and kicking, the prince who did not know how to read were all bright-eyed, not to mention the people watching beside him.

"Stand down" "Prepare" "Put" The musketeers, lined up in a neat phalanx, under the command of the officers, faced the river in rows of guns, row after row.

The sound of gunfire, like fried beans, filled the air.

When each soldier had fired three shots, the constant cheers of the pier had completely stopped.

There was even a surprising silence on the pier.

Those people were all shocked by the sound of this row of guns, and the soldiers who were in charge of the prince's security today, the left and right Yulin, the left and right Shence, and the left and right Jingo, who were in charge of the security of the dock, were also shocked.

They are also soldiers, and it has only been less than half a year since the establishment of this left and right Shenji, and they set off from here half a year ago, when there were only 5,000 people.

But now, the number of people in the establishment has quadrupled, especially this equipment, which is terrifying.

The infantry phalanx passed, and the cavalry of the Shenji Army also came up.

Riding a tall horse, showing off his might.

Their horses were all captured from the Goguryeo people and the good horses obtained from Xi, Qi and Monan, tall and majestic.

The cavalry were better equipped than the infantry, and each had a silk cape, which made it even more extraordinary.

They also lined up in the same phalanx, passed in front of the prince and the hundred officials, walked to the river, and stopped.

At the sound of the horn, the brush drew out the three-eyed gun, and there was a triple shot at the river.

The soldiers of the same Beiya Forbidden Army and the left and right Shence Army of the same cavalry had blood-red eyes.

They looked at their equipment, and they also had horses, but the horses were obviously not as tall and majestic as the cavalry of the Divine Machine Army, and they also had cloaks, but the cloaks of others looked more atmospheric.

The most important thing is that people still have muskets, muskets that shoot three times.

When did you have such a musket yourself, how majestic it was?

Cheng Qian's face was full of red rhyme, as if he had drunk wine.

The performance of this magic machine army made Cheng Qian like it very much.

After the cavalry passed, another force came up.

The horse pulls the cart.

"Is this a chariot phalanx?"

asked Cheng Qian.

Chariot soldiers, this is also a relatively old type of troops, in the pre-Qin period, the competition between countries for national strength, is about how many miles of land, how many chariots, thousands of chariots, is the overlord of that era.

However, later, the chariot was slowly eliminated, and even later the cavalry rose.

However, when the Central Plains Dynasty and the grassland competed for supremacy, the Central Plains often used infantry and cavalry to deal with the cavalry of the grassland.

During the Sui Dynasty, it counterattacked the steppe many times, and fought against the Turkic cavalry in the steppe, that is, the chariot formation was the mainstay, the infantry was supplemented, and the cavalry was secondary.

But at the end of the day, the restrictions on the fleet are still too great.

Cheng Qian thought that Li Chao pulled out a rook soldier.

"Your Majesty, they are not chariot soldiers, they are artillerymen."

Artillery, a newly created branch of Li Chao's army, was originally only responsible for maneuvering heavy crossbows and catapults.

But since Li Chao came up with artillery, they are mainly operating artillery.

More than 1,000 pounds of siege mortars, more than 30 pounds of tiger squat artillery, and hundreds of pounds of artillery.

Although these cannons were relatively simple at first, they were much more advanced and lighter than catapults.

It can be dragged forward with the army, can be put into battle at any time, does not require too much time to assemble, etc., requires fewer personnel, and has greater range and power.

The siege mortar cannon fires large stone projectiles, which can directly pass over the walls and attack targets in the city.

The captive cannon is actually a small red-coat cannon, which shoots directly at the target after being loaded with iron bullets, which is very powerful, and it is an upgraded version of the heavy crossbow in the Tang Army today.

A single cannon can plow a river of blood in the enemy group, and it can also bombard half of the enemy buildings with a single cannon.

Tiger squat cannon, in order to avoid the tiger word reading, Li Chao named it Pinghu cannon, this kind of cannon is only about 30 catties, easy to move.

Although the range and lethality are not as good as the destruction cannon, the most powerful thing about this fear is that it can be loaded with scattered bullets, placed in front of the formation, and sprayed into a piece.

This is the equivalent of a squad heavy machine gun. t1706231537:
