"ah!"
"cavalry!"
"Is this the cavalry?"
"What the hell are you telling me this is the cavalry?"
"The cavalry I have seen is not like this! Oh my god, you told me this is a cavalry? This is simply a fast-moving fire bunker."
"This is a moving fortress. You told me it was cavalry, are you kidding me?"
"Scared to death, baby. Are our New Kyushu cavalry already so powerful?"
"This is Dongzhou's cavalry..."
"This is our new Kyushu cavalry, a new branch of arms. Didn't you hear the announcement, Army General Director, Eastern Cavalry Honor Guard. Keyword, Army General Director!"
"Could it be said that... in the future, the entire New Kyushu army will all become cavalry like this?"
“…”
The whole place was boiling. It's like a drop of water dropped into boiling oil, causing it to boil.
The whole team of envoys were also choked, their faces flushed, and they couldn't say a word. If all New Kyushu is really filled with this kind of cavalry, then... the entire New Kyushu will become an existence that can sweep the world with only cavalry.
'Da da da'
The uniform sound of horse hooves came out of the west gate and onto the parade road.
Every horse walks at the same pace.
Every horse is the same height, short, fat and thin, and every knight is the same height, short, fat and thin.
Each horse is covered with a lightweight alloy battle armor, which cannot be penetrated by a bow or crossbow at medium or long distances. Unless shot at close range. This defense is extremely abnormal.
And every knight also wears alloy armor. This is a kind of armor that provides all-round protection from the soles of the feet to the top of the head. The all-over letters reveal the armor with two eyes.
This kind of armor is not expensive for industrialized Dongzhou, but for other countries, it is priceless...
Defensive ability alone is no longer enough.
Every horse is a breed of sweat-blooded horse imported from other countries in the Western Continent. Each horse's hooves and wrists are as thick as the mouth of a bowl. This kind of horse may not be the fastest running speed, but its endurance and load-bearing capacity are unmatched by any horse in the world.
Each trooper holds a semi-automatic rifle in his left hand and a cartridge belt slung over his shoulder. A grenade hangs from his waist. He holds a crossbow loaded with explosive arrows in his right hand, and a cluster of arrows hangs from his waist on the other side. There are also triangular spurs hanging around the horse's neck.
Every cavalryman is covered with equipment.
This kind of armed force makes the cavalry itself unable to move. But it doesn't matter, the cavalry don't need to move freely at all, they just need to ride on the horse. Every cavalryman is a mobile fort.
There are melee weapons, and long-range weapons are armed to the teeth.
Breaking away from the traditional cavalry battle formation, this is a cavalry that can directly destroy the enemy at medium and long distances. The Kyushu Three Armies, the cavalry arm of the Army General Directorate.
Watching the honor guard of the Cavalry Regiment coming from the west gate, trotting along the parade road, getting closer and closer to me and others.
The envoy of Yamato said: "This... is this cavalry?"
The second son's face was as gloomy as water, and he sneered again: "New Kyushu is just pretending to be fat. I'm afraid the cost of this cavalry is no less than 100,000 coins, right? This is just for us to see, I don't believe that he is the whole Kyushu They are all cavalrymen like this. Can they afford to keep them?"
The envoy of Yamato Kingdom nodded: "That's right."
“…”
Passing by the city gate, the captain of the cavalry regiment suddenly shouted: "Salute!"
'Hua Hua Hua' has consistent movements and consistent sounds.
All the cavalrymen shook their right hands, uniformly shook the semi-automatic rifles in their hands, put them on their shoulders, then raised their heads in unison, and paid attention to the tower.
In the ceremony of attention, go forward.
On the city tower, everyone in the Jiuzhou Party, including Li Zhen, all returned the gift. Watched away.
Announcement: "The second person to appear is the New Kyushu Army, the Army General Directorate, and the Eastern Artillery Regiment... The Eastern Artillery Regiment was established on January 15, 10002 in the New Calendar. It took less than a month to establish, but its results were not good. Fei. They are all hot-blooded gods of death, and all are iron-blooded gods of war. Each of them has participated in several large-scale battles... "
The west door slowly opened.
'Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
Everyone held their breath and listened carefully to the sound of steam.
The country of Yamato groaned: "No way... cannons pulled by steam vehicles?"
The second son took two deep breaths and murmured: "Impossible. Impossible, how could it be..."
The Eastern Artillery Regiment showed up and the crowd absolutely exploded.
If the Cavalry Regiment, although equipped with powerful equipment, has not yet broken away from the category of conventional troops, then the Eastern Artillery Regiment has completely surpassed all conventions in the history of this land.
A concept no one had ever heard of. A completely new military system.
There are no foot soldiers.
No manpower.
Completely separated from the era of human power.
Fifty transport steam trucks drove out in uniform order. The majesty of the Eastern Artillery Regiment was also revealed to everyone.
What is shocking is that the number of people in the entire artillery regiment is very small. Fifty cars, each with only six or seven people on board except the driver and co-driver.
On the steam car are the huge guns of naval battles. The caliber of each giant cannon exceeds 300 millimeters. Like a roaring dragon, lying on the large steam vehicle. The rear of the steam car is box-type, and all the nitroglycerin shells inside are extremely powerful.
It is no exaggeration to say that this huge cannon of the Eastern Artillery Regiment can blow up a short mountain with one shot.
There are six artillerymen on board, five of whom work in division of labor and are responsible for firing cannons and loading bombs.
On the roof of the steam car, under the cannon, there are gun platforms and steel plate armor. The other free one is the observer, who is responsible for shooting and releasing arrows from a high position, as well as investigating the road conditions and enemy situation ahead.
Fifty transport steam cars from the artillery regiment roared to the bottom of the city tower. The observer in the first car shouted: "Salute!"
All the soldiers standing in their respective positions on the fifty artillery vehicles raised their white-gloved hands and looked up at the tower.
On the tower, everyone returned the gift.
Passing by the envoy team, the envoy teams from various countries were silent, not a single sound.
Countries are no strangers to the use of artillery.
But traditional artillery is mostly used on ships in naval battles. In land warfare, it is difficult to realize the value of artillery because the shells are too heavy and the cannon is too heavy to transport. It can only be pushed around with a trolley.
There is no mention of which country has such a mobile artillery regiment. No country has ever said that it can put a 300mm-caliber cannon into actual combat use in land warfare. Because it's simply impossible... no matter how many horses, it can't pull an artillery piece of this caliber.
But the artillery regiment did it.
A steam car that does it all.
One artillery piece, including the driver, is only equipped with eight operators. Can you believe it
Conventionally, if you want to use artillery, a 100-millimeter gun requires twenty or thirty soldiers, plus four or five horses to operate and transport it.
Artillery regiment, a steam locomotive, all done.
The weird thing is that as long as there is a road, it can go anywhere.
As long as the road can be walked by a horse, as long as it is not in the mountains and forests, this steam car can travel freely.
The envoy team was all on fire.
No one dared to make the slightest sound before the artillery regiment passed by.
