    An army of one million people is marching vigorously.  And the sun in the sky is frightened!  Scared!  It pulls the surrounding clouds here and there. It doesn't matter if they are white clouds or dark clouds. Just cover the eyes of my great sun and prevent me from seeing this terrifying sharp blade.  Just go up!  What's more, I'm still afraid that these sharp blades will pierce me and cause the sun to fall!  And the sky is the target that is directly pointed at. This God who usually keeps his eyes closed opened his eyes that had been tightly closed because of the earth-shattering changes on the ground. It seemed to be afraid of this.  No, it's just a low muffled thunder, that's its "shenyin", timid sound.  But then, God heard an even stronger, deafening sound!  This is a soldier in front holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, hitting the shield with the knife "pa, pa pa".  On the chariot, the drummer was beating the drum vigorously, and behind him stood a trumpeter, who was blowing the horn.  This is a small horn. As for the big horn, a soldier carries the horn on his shoulder, and the soldier behind is responsible for blowing the horn vigorously to make the horn sound!  The horns and drums sounded extremely urgent at first, which was a message full of battle!  After the fast and intense sound of horns and drums, it slowed down.  The sound also became smaller and smaller, which proved that they had stopped.  First, the soldiers holding huge oar shields took several big steps forward. They put the oar shields in their hands on the ground, forming a natural obstacle in front of the phalanx, a defensive wall formed by the oar shields.  The spears and spears extending from above are a deterrent to the enemy.  Of course, the soldiers in the front row holding small shields squatted down first, and the soldiers behind immediately followed and piled up the shields.  This action is carried out simultaneously and in one go.  Not a trace of sloppiness.  Soon, four small shields formed a shield wall in front.  Of course, the phalanx can also be surrounded by shields around itself, including the sky, so that the enemy has no gaps to attack.  None of the envoys dared to express their dignity!  It turns out that Zhang Biwu did not appear here. He was going to personally lead his army of one million to make a shocking appearance!     have to say.  Zhang Biwu's move was very successful. Instead of staying here to treat the envoys and nobles from various countries, it would be better to have a shocking scene appear on the stage to make them tremble and make them not underestimate the Tang Dynasty.  Don't even dare to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty.  The phalanx stopped. They were facing the people on the viewing platform. They stood very stable, as if they had taken root in the ground of the grassland!  There were also soldiers armed with firearms. In their hands were blunderbuss or three-eyed blunderbuss.  And behind them is the train.  It contained their ammunition.  When they were marching, they pressed the gun to their chest with one hand, while the other hand was constantly swinging in front of their chest.  All the people in a square formation moved in unison, as if they were one person.  After watching them march for so long, the guns they were holding and stuck were actually lifted from their chests without any mistake, and they were still holding on tightly.  It's like taking root.  When the gunmen were about to stop, they were stepping on the spot one by one with their feet. At the same time, the firearms in their hands were shaking and held high!  At first glance, there are quite a few of these musketeers!  This proves that it is not just cold weapons, but also firearms!  Although cold weapons still equip most of the soldiers, after all, it is not an easy task to equip them all with firearms. Even countries such as Portugal and Spain, which claim to be civilized, may not be able to equip them all.  Not to mention that the Tang Dynasty had more than one million troops, maybe even more than this number!  After all, they now have millions of people coming to participate in the military parade!     It can be said.  Being able to equip so many firearms is considered very powerful, very good, and something worthy of admiration.  Therefore, the faces of the envoys from various countries became even more ugly.  They think this is not a good thing!  Even if the Tang Dynasty cannons are stronger than them, forget it!  Now, even firearms and muskets are stronger than them.  And it seems that the Tang Army's musketeers are actually much more numerous than any of their countries!  How can this make them not afraid?  Not calm!  They couldn¡¯t help but think of more than five hundred years ago, when Genghis Khan led his Mongolian army to fight all the way to the Danube River. At that time, all of Europe was in fear of the so-called Yellow Peril.  Cities are often destroyed and most of the residents in the city are killed!  This is an army dedicated to killing people!  So Genghis Khan and his descendants killed a total of 200 million people.  "Europe has always remembered this, and is sincerely afraid of the Yellow Peril, and from time to time it will touch their tight???¾­.  But now they can only obey, and what makes them feel gratified and fortunate is that Zhang Biwu and his Tang Dynasty are not as bloodthirsty as Genghis Khan, who regard the enemy's wailing and seizing the enemy's wealth and women as the joy of life.  But this also made them more convinced of Zhang Biwu and Datang. ???????????? But the drummers were "chiluo" shirtless, showing off their excellent muscles.  The arms are as thick as human thighs, and the muscles are visible, making people feel scared!  But it can also bring a sense of beauty.  ¡°These muscular men, if they were allowed to participate in a bodybuilding competition in modern times, it would be very easy for them to win a ranking.  There are a lot of muscular men like this, but don¡¯t think that they are just like those who participate in bodybuilding competitions and only know how to perform.  Which one of them is not a warrior who has lived on the edge of a knife and shed blood on the battlefield?  Thousands of evil enemies have been killed by their hands!  And these muscular men were dripping with sweat, because they were beating the drums crazily just now. When they kept beating the drums, they were sweating. For such a long time, the ups and downs of the drums came from them.  The hands are amazing!  The muscular men kept opening their arms toward the sky. They yelled several times and then stopped.  All of them looked at the viewing platform with solemn expressions, waiting for orders.  "Go! Go!" The rapid sound of horse hooves attracted envoys from various countries, and their eyes once again focused on the cavalry.  The cavalry also arrived not far from the viewing platform, and they all stopped.  Rows of cavalry were coming like a tidal wave just now, but now they stopped at the drop of a hat.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  The cavalrymen sat on their horses, holding on to their weapons and motionless.  As the saying goes, be as quiet as a virgin and move as fast as a running rabbit.  As they got closer, everyone saw that there was a gunman on top of the cavalry!  Yes!  Zhang Biwu had already liberated the gunmen from the infantry, and he also used them on the cavalry.  However, you must know that the blunderbuss is a musket. When it is fired, the impact is very strong. The fire that emerges makes the gunner have to turn his head to the other side, otherwise, they will be accidentally injured. Now  Firearms have many shortcomings!  ¡°Furthermore, reloading a gun is very troublesome. It is often difficult for one person to do it. It requires the cooperation of multiple people!  For example, the Shenji Battalion of the Ming Dynasty was divided into three rows. The front row was for gunners, the middle row was for passing weapons, and the last row was for reloading.  Often after the people in the front finish shooting, they pass the guns back to the middle. The people in the middle take the loaded muskets from the back and pass them to the first row. The muskets in the hands of the first row are passed to the last row, letting them  Start reloading.  This will ensure the efficiency of shooting.  Therefore, it can be seen that putting the gunman on the cavalry is indeed a bold attempt.  It¡¯s rare that all countries are surprised!  It's not that they didn't think of it, it's just that due to the flaws of the musket, they couldn't use it even if they thought about it!  Is it possible that the firearms of the Tang Dynasty have been improved to the point where all the defects have been eliminated?  yes!  pistol!  Yes, although the pistol is not very powerful, can't it also be used to fight while riding a horse and shooting?  It's just that relatively speaking, the range and power are much worse than the cannon!  Could it be that the Tang Army improved this principle of pistols so that their blunderbuss could be suitable for shooting while riding a horse?  If so, that would be terrible!  When the envoys from various countries thought of this, how could they not show fear on their faces?  The envoys from various countries have made great efforts before they dare to look up to these warriors!  Yes!  One million warriors!  The faces of the Tang Army officers and soldiers standing in the front row were obscured by sand and dust.  And there is sweat flowing down their bodies, and the precious and big beads of sweat on their foreheads tell people that they are also feeling the heat.     yes!  Under the sun and hot weather, they wear heavy armor, so of course they will feel the heat, and it is normal for them to sweat profusely.  But they stood still, as if the heat had no effect on them at all. Under the scorching sun, although beads of sweat rolled down their faces, there was no trace of pain on their resolute faces.  You can't help but be in awe of their eyes and expressions.  Their faces, helmets, and armor were covered in dust, and their faces were naturally turned yellow by the sand.  When their sweat rolled down, their faces were yellow and black. Although they pressedAesthetically speaking, they are ugly, but at this moment, no one will think that they are ugly. Instead, they think that they are the most handsome and coolest people in the world.  They didn¡¯t wipe it with their hands because the dirty water mixed with yellow sand came down. No one did that!  Because the order they received was to stand here to show their national and military might!  No matter what happens, they cannot move and must stand still.
