Following Li Ke's words, everyone looked at the border guards wearing different armors. Li Ke's words were not lies. He once said that the city was full of white-haired soldiers. Although Li Ke has not yet seen this in his future lives, What happened was made up, but in fact the deeds of these border guards stationed at the border and what Li Ke said were all true.
Since ancient times, all dynasties have given various preferential treatment to border guards. Just like after the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Ming Dynasty, even after a long time, when they finally arrived at the southern border of the Ming Dynasty, those border guards who had lost contact with the court for many years were not He gave up his duties and resisted the Qing army after they arrived. Even then, the Qing Dynasty did not kill those border guards.
"Today, our soldiers from the Tang Dynasty have taken over all the border posts from them, but their spirit will always guide our direction!"
"Those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the sake of the people and their duty to protect the country, their spirits will be immortalized in the fire!"
"Now, soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, let all our deceased martyrs see it, let them see the Tang Dynasty today!"
As Li Ke's last word fell, the military parade had been completed and new instructions came from the various formations that had returned to the edge of the road.
The first Datang honor guard.
"Run, let's go!" Following the roar of the leading officer, they took up their steps again in unison, ran horizontally in front of the border guards, and took the lead in a neat formation. Then the second formation transformed into They formed a column formation, running on the left side of these border soldiers, and the third formation was on their right side, protecting them in the middle.
When these three squares surrounded the border guards in the center, the steps of the soldiers in the middle also changed. They no longer advanced slowly. Although some of them were very old, some were still very young, and some Some even have some disabilities.
But all of them moved their steps and quickly formed a neat row with the soldiers on both sides while running. If you didn't look at the original armor on their bodies, at this moment they had completely integrated into the current atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty. Of all the armies!
They are telling everyone with their actions that although they may be old or disabled, they will always be soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!
Then all the subsequent phalanxes followed them neatly and headed towards the tower again.
When they were about to enter the square, Li Ke said loudly: "Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, tell those martyrs who sacrificed their lives, tell them that you will protect the Tang Dynasty today!"
The order came from the honor guard at the front again, and with the sound of the honor guard at the front, all the phalanxes quickly divided into two parts and ran to both sides of the square, surrounding the coffins of the martyrs placed on the square. In the middle.
"Dang..." The low drum beat was played by the military band again, but the difference this time was that when the military music sounded, the soldiers who had previously held the coffins of the martyrs picked up the coffins placed on the table again. They slowly started to line up again, and at the same time, a low and majestic song sounded from their mouths again.
"Towards the front, our blood is strong,"
"Brand sharp, shocking tiger and wolf!"
"Towards the front, our steps are sonorous,"
"In the wind and rain, I hold my chest high,"
"Moving forward, our blood is hot, and we carry the mission and responsibility on our shoulders."
"Towards the front, the iron current is rolling forward, riding the wind and waves, shocking all directions, unstoppable!"
Brand new lyrics and a majestic voice echoed throughout the square again, but what was different from the song just now was that this time, the song was full of murderous intent.
Everyone who was watching the ceremony was so shocked that their scalps were numb. The lyrics were also simple and straightforward, but they had an indescribable momentum.
"We light the dawn of peace,"
"We protect the people's well-being,"
"We are so heroic that we are galloping across the battlefield. Let us create new glory!"
"Look at the Earth God of War, Tu Rui, in full bloom. Look at the warriors, holding their spears tightly with both hands."
"Watch the people's army build iron and copper walls."
"Continue to write new glory with victory!"
"Majestic, with thousands of armored troops arrayed, mighty and majestic!"
"Strength, following red footsteps, war songs stir up fighting spirit."
"The military flag will always be flying, flying, flying!"
The majestic singing echoed in the square, and more and more square formations continued to gather. Standing on the tower, you could clearly see the square below. Countless Tang soldiers in armor were like streams flowing into the river. It is gradually forming a huge force.
"Towards the front, our bugle sounds."
"Brand sharp, shocking tiger and wolf."
"Going forward, our morale is high."
"In the wind and rain, I hold my chest high."
"Moving forward, we, Iron Blood, will take charge."
"Carry the responsibility of the mission on your shoulders."
"Towards the front, we stride forward."
“Ride the wind and waves, work hard to realize your dreams, and never let go.”
"Be loyal to the Tang Dynasty and win the war!"
When the last song fell, the envoys from various countries on the city wall fell into silence, but the other people of Tang Dynasty who were watching the ceremony below the city wall cheered completely.
Standing on the city wall, looking at the Tang army below, all the envoys were in a daze. The simple and straightforward singing was naturally understandable to envoys like them who knew Tang Dynasty. It was precisely because they could understand this. Only then did they suddenly realize.
Yes, the iron stream was rolling forward. The soldiers they saw were all wearing heavy armor. How many soldiers were there participating in the military parade alone? According to the introduction just now, there are 352 people in each phalanx, and there are about fifteen phalanxes in total. Although the number of people in the phalanxes such as the ballistas and other phalanxes at the back is smaller, the cavalry phalanx has more people!
Calculated based on 352 people, there are nearly 5,000 people in the fifteen square formations! What's more important is that all the soldiers responsible for security protection at the venue are all wearing full-body armor. The armor is not much different from the armor of these soldiers participating in the military parade, the only difference is the color!
How many soldiers are there? The total number is probably at least 20,000 to 30,000. What is even more frightening is that this is only the army near Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. What about the troops of the Tang Dynasty on the border? The armor of these troops will definitely be stronger as well!
In other words, how many armors were there in the entire Tang Dynasty army? One hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand? even more!
So many full-body armors...it makes my head tingle just thinking about it.
The iron stream is really rolling forward. Who can stop such a Tang army? !
It's just their silence. Some people may have seen it, but no one cares at the moment until the cheers of the people below die down.
"Put up the flag!" Li Ke announced through the microphone again.
Each of the thousands of soldiers who had been prepared ran towards the soldiers who had finished the formation, and then took out a flag of the Tang Dynasty from their arms, then folded the flags neatly, and then neatly folded them. Covered on the coffin of every martyr.
