The military parade planned by Wen Yian is divided into two parts, namely the formal military parade content and the public parade.
Originally, he wanted to make the dichotomy, but he ran around the parade troops and was unlikely to have Feldnan's temper, so he finally deleted this part of the content.
In the military parade, the troops being paraded were divided into two types. The New Model Army and the traditional Imperial Team were out of small selfishness. Yiwen Ian arranged the New Model Army in a relatively high position, and then placed it with infantry corps like Zhan Bian and Chi Xiao.
Killing Blade is a famous light infantry corps in the Nanling Legion. Unlike most emperors who are accustomed to sword-like weapons, the first thing new recruits do to join the Killing Blade Legion is to abandon armor, learn shields, and use swords. This elite unit developed specifically to adapt to the complex mountain terrain south of the Nanling Legion is extremely good at raids, interspersed, and destruction behind enemy lines. At its peak, the hostility of everyone can even be conveyed at a distance of more than ten meters.
Compared with the blade, Chi Xiao is much normal. The standard Red Armor Heavy Infantry Team made of steel and souls is very resistant to the fire ice-type magic that appears most often on the battlefield. What is more tenacious than armor is the morale of the Chi Xiao Corps. After a hundred years of establishment, the Chi Xiao Corps never took the initiative to collapse before the retreat order was issued. Such a glorious record is like a huge steel cable that tightly entangles the morale of the entire legion. Even Yiwen Ian has to admit that in terms of morale and fighting spirit, even the Chi Xiao Corps, which has now declined a lot, is better than many new model troops.
Including these two elite corpses, as well as the black armored phalanx and swordsman phalanx of the Nanling Sword Soldier Corps, each of them is a selected elite swordsman and a veteran of a hundred battles (in the current Imperial ** regiment, this is not easy). Many Imperial ** people stand in the parade with the title of honor knight. If you observe carefully at close range, you will definitely see the proud and unyielding soul from their scarred faces.
But this is a military parade, and the inspection is the army. The strength of a person and a group of people is not enough to reflect the strength of the army. Only after truly casting a group of people into a piece of steel, the tempered military temperament can penetrate hundreds of meters without having to observe it up close.
And in this regard, the new model army took a clue.
As the designer of the military parade, no one knows better what the significance of this military parade is than Yiwen Ian. It is not like the past military parade, but a competition among the major armies of Nanling. This military parade is a competition between the new model army that has just started and the old military forces of the entire Nanling.
So when wearing a unified uniform, walking slowly with the same drum beat in the sound of military music, the infantry phalanx of the new model army is neat and beautiful than any imperial regiment. Even if the latter is wearing shining armor, it cannot be seen clearly because of distance. Instead, the quadrangled square array is particularly eye-catching because of the obstacles of the armor.
At this time, the Emperor's affairs community had already initially realized the importance of discipline, so they were more or less silent when they looked at the two legions that were obviously compared in the audience.
"...It's all embroidered pillows..." Dark Gill, who had looked much more honest because of his humiliation from Yiwen Ian, finally couldn't sit still again. He couldn't help but spit on the ground, "Are you going so well and planning to dance?! More important than being beautiful on the battlefield, it's more important to maintain the killing and morale of the front line without being broken through by the enemy! Do these cowards who don't even dare to fight in close combat know what morale is?! Do you know what glory is and never retreat?! Damn it!"
He didn't dare to shout these words loudly, but he was all heard by his old colleagues around him.
For Dak, who was almost 10 years younger than him, Nanling City Commander Shindra looked at him with a smile. Unlike Shindra, who was full of resentment, he felt calm in his heart.
Unlike traditional emperors like Dak who earned status and glory through military merits and strength, Syndra is just an old-style imperial official who knows a little bit of swordsmanship. For his lucky star Yiwen Ian, he may be the only one among all of them who are not much dissatisfied with him.
Nine years ago, it was because of Yiwen Ian's sudden appearance in Wenning District that Shindra, then deputy commander of the City Commander, seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to defeat Dak Jill, who was also the deputy commander of the City Commander at that time, and replaced the position of old commander who died in the war and became the commander of the Three Thousand City Commander of the White Rose City.
But Dak Jill, who was originally considered a new star in the army, seemed to have bumped into bad stars. His life was so proud that he suddenly started to go downhill. First, the Nanling peace talks, followed by the military system, and finally a new model army. Now, even his former mortal enemy, the Nanling Kingdom, was destroyed by the new model army, completely losing the source of promotion - let Dak handle the military government affairs? It would be better to kill him!
So for Yiwen Ian, who was older than ten years ago and was about to retire, Sindra was not dissatisfied with him. His life goal was very small. He had been in the position of the commander of the White Rose City Commander for ten years and he was completely satisfied.
For this reason, he should thank the little Duke, but he looked at the back of the young boy and sighed, but he did not intend to go up to talk. In fact, when Azibert and Dark Gill attacked Yiwen Ian, he was watching coldly.
Sir Ivan Ian's condition is a bit dangerous now. Although there is no proof in Shindra's hands, the keen sense of smell developed by years of lingering in the officialdom made him feel a little wrong.
But it is normal to think about it. From ancient times to the present, there has never been a reformer who can fully implement the policy without any opposition, setback, protest, or suppression.
Although Feldnan, the Duke who is even more powerful in Nanling, is even more powerful than His Majesty the Emperor, as the saying goes, the greater the pressure, the greater the rebound at that time. So when I heard that the emperor invited Feldnan to the Emperor's birthday, Syndra understood-
The time is here.
After sleeping for nine years, the lion of the Nanling Legion finally planned to start a massacre.
When Feldnan and Yiwen and his son left Nanling, it was the day when the new model army was destroyed.
The corpses of 30,000 citizens and soldiers will inevitably turn into a sea of blood under false charges of rebellion—
These crazy Nanling soldiers have already wanted to prove that they are about to go crazy when they think about it!
Kessim Mansdick controlled the seat more than two meters high, with both feet and sharp teeth, and frowned as he looked at the new model military formation passing by him.
These timid civilian soldiers who had no sense of glory did not know what methods they used to defeat the King of Nanling **, but for their Imperial Knights, they were just some ridiculous clowns who snatched military merits.
The long-range weapon that the soldiers of the new model army rely on, the improved musket, is not lethal at all against the super-heavy dragon armor weighing more than 80 kilograms. Even if they shoot mounts, hunting dragons or ground dragons, the tough scale armor that is more than half a centimeter thick, can block bullets shot out from a hundred meters away.
The distance of one hundred meters is only 6 seconds for the faster-moving Dragon Knight to rush over, while for the Earth Dragon Knight, it is only 13 seconds.
So he had no idea why the Feldnan Guild gave up on their tried-and-tested Imperial Knights and chose these weak, even the average level of "civilian soldiers" who were less than the first level.
You should know that ten years ago, even if the Imperial Team hired the civilian army through temporary recruitment, it was usually only used as second-line troops and cannon fodder. Today's new model army has completely reversed - the main force are the cannon fodder soldiers, and those glorious high-level knights like Black Rose's recent knights have become the ones who have taken advantage of them?!
It has been nine years, and it has been nine years since the Nanling Emperor's Regiment, from being known as the most capable of fighting in the empire, to the fact that it has not started war for nine years, the battle flags forged by the former predecessors with blood and glory have gradually faded away.
The second-ranked front-line legions have gradually been removed from the list. A few elite troops like Chi Xiao Legion are still surviving, but they have not been on the battlefield for many years. Whether it is morale or combat ability, they are simply incomparable to the Chi Xiao Legion in Casim's memory.
Ten years is a threshold. For a soldier below the level of truth, his professional peak is only 10 to 20 years. 10 years is the last batch of experienced veterans of the Nanling Emperor** Regiment. It is also the time for the legion to be completely cut off. So in the face of such a good opportunity for the Grand Duke to visit. These Nanling soldiers could not sit still—
Kesim and another group of old soldiers have made up their awakening. Even if they will be questioned by the Grand Duke later, they will prove to the Grand Duke that the new model army that Master Yiwen Ian loves is just some embroidered pillows. These Nanling knights and Nanling soldiers are the only reliance for the long-term stability of Nanling-
If the next Grand Duke candidate Yiwen Ian was unstubborn, then the soldiers of the Nanling Mountains would prove to him with iron, blood, sword and fire that if he insisted on doing so, then for the future of Nanling Mountains and the empire, they had to kill the little duke, and then go to the Grand Duke to apologize for his death.
Because this is the duty and obligation of the soldiers and knights who guard the Nanling! (To be continued.)
