Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was August 18th, the first year of the Second Qin Dynasty.
All the 200,000 soldiers of the Bashang Camp who were stationed in Yueyang, Yongcheng and other places, the former capital of Great Qin in Guanzhong, returned to the Bashang Camp one after another. The Bashang Camp now has a total of more than 600,000 soldiers.
Today, all the soldiers of the Bashang camp are wearing Shangfang's new armor.
Today is the day when more than 600,000 troops of the Bashang Camp were formed.
As early as twenty days ago, the soldiers of the Bashang Camp had already started to be selected. The targets of this selection were the emperor's own troops, the 200,000-strong Tiger Army. However, there are only less than 17 soldiers left of the 200,000 Tiger Army.
A quota of 10,000.
Wang Li's remnant army of more than 20,000 Xianyang guards had been directly integrated into the Huben army under Hu Hai's permission.
Six hundred thousand people competed for 170,000 places to enter the Tiger Army. The Tiger Army was destined to become the pinnacle of the Qin Dynasty from the beginning.
After being selected in various aspects such as riding, archery, martial arts, etc., 170,000 soldiers finally got their wish today and put on the special armor of the "Hu Ben Army" branded with black tigers.
At the same time that the selection of the Huben Army was completed, in addition to the Xuanwu Army, the flags of the Qinglong, Suzaku and White Tiger Army appeared in the Bashang Camp for the first time. However, the Xuanniao Army seemed to be the secret of Great Qin.
In addition to the Xuanwu Army, which had specific requirements, it had already been selected. In addition to the more than 30,000 people selected by Weng Zhong from the soldiers of the Bashang Camp, Li Si also selected nearly 70,000 people from the laborers who stayed in Guanzhong.
, just met Hu Hai's requirements, 100,000 people.
It's just that among these 100,000 people, there are still too few heavy-armored infantry, less than 30,000, and the rest are heavy-armored cavalry. War horses specially equipped for heavy-armored cavalry are already a big problem now, and there are still at least 30,000
The heavy armored cavalry did not have suitable horses and could only serve as infantry.
The three major legions of Qinglong, Suzaku and White Tiger did not adopt a selection method, but adopted a voluntary method.
After being selected by the Huben Army, there are still more than 400,000 soldiers in the Bashang Camp. (Just read the novel.) These soldiers learned about the characteristics of the three armies of Qinglong, Suzaku and White Tiger and reported to their respective generals which army to join.
.
Each of the three major legions has a rated number of 100,000 soldiers, no more and no less. After each legion reaches its full number of soldiers, it can no longer draw up a roster of soldiers.
Qinglong Army and Qinglong are both offensive and defensive, equipped with 5,000 heavy armored cavalry and 25,000 light cavalry. The rest are all infantry. There are still 2,000 infantry in this infantry, and their combat effectiveness is slightly inferior to Weng Zhongxuanwu.
The heavily armored infantry of the army are used to attack fortresses.
The Suzaku Army, except for the 20,000 infantry, the rest of the 80,000 are cavalry, and among the 80,000 cavalry, except for the 5,000 heavy armored cavalry, the rest are all light cavalry. At the same time, the Suzaku Army also
Equipped with a large number of boxcars, the Suzaku Army, as its name suggests, is as fast as a flying bird and attacks like a blazing fire.
The White Tiger Army has 100,000 soldiers. Except for 10,000 cavalry, the rest are all infantry. However, the White Tiger Army is equipped with a total of 2,000 large-scale repeating crossbows that no army in the entire Great Qin can compete with.
If you add in the small powerful crossbows carried by each soldier, the White Tiger Army's attack power is unrivaled in the world.
The White Tiger Army, including the entire Great Qin Dynasty, will gradually be equipped with large-scale repeating crossbows in the future. They are fundamentally different from the previous continuous-shooting crossbows used in the Great Qin Army. In the past, large-scale repeating crossbows relied on manpower to draw the powerful bow strings.
Tian Ren's Shangfang designed a brand new large-scale repeating crossbow through some of Hu Hai's ideas and suggestions.
New large-scale continuous-fire crossbow. The base and crossbow arm are no longer purely made of wood, but are made of half wood and half iron. At the same time, there are four more iron legs on the base of the crossbow, which can be directly nailed into the ground for fixation.
, but these four iron legs are all rotatable, which means that in wartime, the crossbow can quickly change its aiming direction to attack invading enemies from either side.
The repeating crossbows previously used by the Great Qin Army were generally difficult to move after being fixed. At the same time, because they stood on four iron legs, the large repeating crossbows were no longer close to the ground, but were nearly two to three feet away from the ground.
.【*You】
The new large-scale continuous-fire crossbows all adopt the winch winding method. Several hand-polished iron gears are used to pass through the hinge arm on one side of the crossbow. Only one or two soldiers can complete the task. In the past, at least six strong men were required to complete the task.
Winding, loading crossbows, etc. made the firing speed of the large continuous-fire crossbow machine completely different from the old-fashioned continuous-fire crossbow machine previously used by the Great Qin Army.
Everything about the new large-scale continuous-fire crossbow machine is stronger than the previous continuous-fire crossbow machine used by the Qin army. The range has reached about two thousand steps, and it can effectively kill 1,600 steps. It is far more than the old-fashioned continuous fire crossbow machine.
Two hundred steps.
Facing these new large-scale repeating crossbows, Hu Hai was sure that even Weng Zhong's Xuanwu Army, known for its tortoise shells, could only retreat. No army could stop the White Tiger Army's numerous large-scale repeating crossbows.
In addition to the White Tiger Army, the remaining Qinglong, Suzaku and Xuanwu Army also have such large-scale repeating crossbows. However, the number is far less than that of the White Tiger Army.
Because of Hu Hai's march north, because of Li Si's funeral, and because of Sima Xin's treason case, Tian Ren, who was originally under great pressure, finally had enough time to complete the emperor's task of redressing the more than 600,000 elite soldiers of the Bashang Camp.
Each of the five legions has a standard armor that is different from the rest of the Qin army. On the left chest of the Qinglong army's armor is a giant dragon flying in the sky. The Suzaku army is a lustful Suzaku, and the White Tiger army is a dragon looking up to the sky.
The roaring black tiger, as for the Xuanwu Army's logo, is extremely cute, a little turtle with a shrunken head and spikes on its back.
In addition to the branding on the armor, the linings of these soldiers' inner robes are also embroidered with the logos of their respective regiments. Ordinary soldiers all use white embroidery, green for corps commanders, red for extra-long soldiers, yellow for generals, and blue for generals.
The 500-year-old is mainly orange, the 2-500 is mainly purple, and the captain and above are all embroidered in black.
These embroidery marks are very obvious on the inner robes of all soldiers' armors. They can clearly tell the identities of all soldiers. It is clear at a glance who is the general and what rank.
It was obviously not time to reform the military system, so Hu Hai adopted this simplest method.
The formation of the three legions was much faster than that of the Huben Army. In less than two days, the three legions were already full of 300,000 troops. In the Bashang camp, there were still more than 30,000 soldiers who were hesitant about which legion to choose.
The opportunity was missed and abandoned.
What happened to the more than 30,000 soldiers in the Bashang Camp is unknown. What is known is that the emperor ordered all of the more than 30,000 soldiers to leave the Bashang Camp and disappeared.
From April 15, the first year of the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, to August 18, the first year of the Second Emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, the 400,000 prisoners at the Bashang Camp, including the 200,000 imperial troops who originally guarded Hu Hai's eastward patrol, were already at the Bashang Camp.
The camp trained for four months and three days.
Today is the day when they will show off the results of their hard training day and night for four months like His Majesty the Emperor who gave them freedom and glory. Today is also the first day that the five powerful armies will be officially recorded in history.
Countless flags were fluttering, and five huge platforms were already standing on the main campus of Bashang Camp.
Each of the five huge square formations corresponds to a high platform.
For each legion, His Majesty the Emperor will personally award a flag to them individually. And this military flag awarded by His Majesty the Emperor will be the military flag passed down to each legion from generation to generation.
The loss of the military flag means the destruction of this legion. Even if the legion only loses one soldier, as long as the military flag is lost, the legion will automatically become history. From now on, this legion will never appear again.
In the army sequence of Da Qin.
This was something that Hu Hai had already issued an edict to the entire Bashang camp before he had given the flag to the five armies.
He wants these soldiers to know that the military flag is the life of their entire regiment, and what the military flag points to is their mission. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, and even if there is a cliff ahead of them, they must never look back.
The military flag is all their glory.
Today, the sun is exceptionally bright and the sky is exceptionally blue.
Five neat square formations, the clear black armor gleamed coldly in the sun. Invisible murderous aura gathered over the campus. The entire campus was silent, and all the soldiers stood in silence, waiting for the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three short but long sounds of grand war drums suddenly sounded from the silent campus.
Amidst the clanging sound, the 600,000-strong army that had been standing at ease all stood at attention and straightened their chests. They knew that His Majesty the Second Emperor had arrived at the gate of the camp.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
After three dull war drums, the desolate and long sound of the horn resounded throughout the sky.
"Dong dong dong!"
The fine and loud rumbling war drums roared loudly after the horn sound. Every drumbeat pressed the heartbeat, making people involuntarily feel excited when hearing the sound.
Amidst the rumbling war drums, a long line of people and horses stopped at the edge of the campus. The drums stopped suddenly, and a group of people turned over and dismounted. Led by the young man wearing black gold armor with a long sword hanging from his waist.
He took long strides and walked towards the middle of the school grounds.
That person was none other than His Majesty Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Following Hu Hai, more than ten steps away from him, were Meng Tian, Feng Quji, Wei Liao, Li You, Ying Teng, Yao Jia and other three nobles and nine ministers, as well as the court officials
An important minister above the imperial censor.
These people are now the top group of people in the entire Great Qin.
From left to right, 200,000 tiger soldiers lined up first.
As Hu Hai moved forward, rows of soldiers knelt down on one knee, looking with burning eyes at the young emperor who was walking swiftly and with a solemn handsome face.
He gave them freedom, dignity, and the opportunity to earn glory.
After today, it will be their time to repay his loyalty!
