After hearing what Qi Jiguang said, Emperor Wanli looked at those soldiers with eyes full of enthusiasm! He knew that he finally had a truly powerful army in his hands!
Just at this time, the phalanx of sword and shield soldiers had reached the bottom of the general stand, and someone in the team was heard shouting: "Song!"
All the sword and shield soldiers immediately raised their swords and shouted "Wan Sheng!" and then retracted their swords! If so, three! For a moment, the entire team was filled with murderous intent! And the faces of the people on the general stage, both civil and military, changed drastically when they saw this scene! From the scene they saw, coupled with Qi Jiguang's explanation, everyone knew that the team below was really strong!
Especially Shen Shixing, who was in charge of the troops and horses, looked at Zhang Juzheng with worried eyes! When Zhang Juzheng felt his gaze and looked back, he naturally understood what he meant! However, he still said softly: "Let's see again!"
Shen Shixing nodded slightly and turned his attention to the latter group of soldiers! He knew that Zhang Juzheng meant to wait and see. Maybe Liu Haojia just lined up the most elite group of soldiers at the front, and the other soldiers were not so elite!
At this time, the sword and shield soldiers of the second phalanx also walked under the general platform, still shouting "Wan Sheng!" three times as before, but everyone had already focused their attention on the third phalanx, that is, On the pikemen!
On the one hand, the spears used by these pikemen are extraordinarily long, which makes them pay special attention. On the other hand, they want to see what the Sword and Shield Soldiers look like, so what about the other arms?
At this time, the pikemen who had organized their team were slowly coming! The particularly long spears are all erected, and there are various colored ribbons tied under the spear tips. They look very beautiful!
When they walked onto the straight road, they did not move as fast as the sword and shield soldiers. Instead, they moved forward slowly, almost step by step! Just then, a gust of wind blew, and the various colored ribbons on the spear fluttered, looking particularly agile!
At this time, Emperor Wanli turned to Qi Jiguang and said, "My dear, why do these spear soldiers walk so slowly? They are not as fast as the sword and shield soldiers at all. What is this?"
Qi Jiguang glanced at the smiling Liu Haojia with extremely complex eyes, and then said: "Your Majesty! This is the difference between the two arms! The sword and shield soldiers are used to fight close to each other, and what they pay attention to is their movements like fire and wind. Only quickness can kill people! Although pikemen can also be used for offense, the biggest use of pikemen like this, which is particularly long, is to anchor the position, stabilize the formation, and prevent the enemy from breaking through! So their first priority The task is not to be fast, but to be steady! And Your Majesty, look at this spear standing upright like a straight tree trunk, and the ribbons on the gun are like branches and leaves. Does it look like a forest moving slowly now? "
After hearing this, Emperor Wanli nodded repeatedly and said: "It really feels like the forest is slowly approaching! The sword and shield soldiers are as anxious as fire, and this spear soldier must be Xu Xulin!"
Qi Jiguang came to see him and said: "Your Majesty has seen Wanli clearly. This is what I mean, but it's just not as good as your Majesty's summary!"
Emperor Wanli shook his head proudly after being complimented, feeling as if he was also a famous soldier! Liu Haojia glanced at Qi Jiguang and felt that not only was this guy a good fighter, he was also top-notch in flattery!
At this time, the team of spearmen had already reached the general stage. They still shouted "Wan Sheng!" three times, but they did not wave their weapons like the sword and shield soldiers because their spears were too long!
But what they did actually shocked the people on the stage even more! Because when the sword and shield soldiers walked by, nothing could be seen. The light of the waving swords obscured the formation! At this moment, when the rows of erected spears passed by, who could tell that each row of spears was almost as neat as if they were tied up with ropes! Especially the ribbons blown by the wind are all swaying in one direction, which makes people realize how neat this team is!
After the two teams of spearmen passed by, the largest number of gunmen finally came on stage! Everyone became more energetic and wanted to see what the quality of the fire gun soldiers that Liu Haojia paid special attention to was like!
At this time, the fire gun soldiers had already stuck the bayonet under the mouth of the gun, so when they walked over with the fire gun, the reflection on the bayonet was already dazzling the eyes! Especially this time, there was no cover from the spears. The people on the general stage could see all the soldiers, and they felt that the formation was neat and impeccable!
Of course, what surprised everyone was that when the team walked down the stage, with an order, the soldiers in the entire phalanx raised their firecrackers and made a downward slashing gesture, causing all the firecrackers to move straight forward at a 45-angle angle. Then they all started to move forward!
This scene simply shocked the jaws of everyone on the stage! So much so that no one on the general stage made a sound when they passed two teams of Fire Gun Soldiers! It was only when the third phalanx came over that everyone finally came back to their senses!
Emperor Wanli said subconsciously: "The sword and shield soldiers are as fast as fire, and the spear soldiers are Xu Rulin! What are these fire and gun soldiers now?"
His words made Qi Jiguang speechless because he couldn't think of how to describe this team! They have both the steady posture of spearmen and the offensive posture of sword and shield soldiers. It is really difficult to evaluate! Fortunately, Emperor Wanli just asked casually and had no intention of causing trouble for him!
Because the fire gun soldiers performed extremely well, even the cavalry behind them didn't even arouse anyone's interest! After a brief glance, they were still happily discussing the Fire Gun Soldier's handsome gun-holding posture and goose-stepping!
Some people have even discussed whether this training method can be promoted in the Beijing camp! But the person who said this immediately realized that he had made a mistake. Just keep silent! If this kind of training method is promoted in the Beijing camp, wouldn't it be equivalent to handing over the Beijing camp to Liu Haojia, and he won't be able to swallow it up!
When all the teams formed a square formation on the school grounds again, Wan Lidi was so excited that he patted the handrails repeatedly and said loudly: "Okay, okay! Liu Aiqing is indeed a well-trained soldier, and he is indeed a strong army in the world!"
Liu Haojia glanced at everyone proudly and said: "Your Majesty! Now you are just standing on the high platform looking at these soldiers, but you still can't see their true appearance! Why don't you ask Your Majesty to get down from the high platform and take a closer look, so that you can see Show the true strength of this army!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wanli immediately nodded and agreed, urging Liu Haojia to make arrangements to review the soldiers. After a while, the chariot was carried over. Emperor Wanli got on the chariot, and everyone followed behind and walked toward the square formation!
