Under Yan Xiuzheng's instigation, Ling Feizhuo, the king of Canglan Kingdom, had a strong urge to hold a grand military parade under Ningbian City to boost his royal power. Although he, the Canglan King, has no real power in his hands, it would be nice to enjoy a grand military parade.
He immediately went to find Ling Jiaojiao and said that he wanted to hold a Canglan military parade under the city to encourage the morale of the entire army.
This sudden idea immediately made Ling Jiaojiao laugh.
"No, I have sent someone to notify Mr. Ye a month ago, asking him to return to Ningbian City as soon as possible to preside over this war. It is estimated that he will be back soon. Our army will soon start a war with the Qinglang Tribe. At this time, we will start a big battle A military parade is time-consuming and of no use to any benefit!"
Ling Jiaojiao rejected the idea without even thinking about it.
"Sister Wang, Brother Wang, I have finally come to Ningbian City to lead the expedition in person. I can't just sit there and do nothing. Besides, this military parade can also boost the morale of the army, which is very beneficial to Master Ye's subsequent operations!"
Ling Feizhuo said anxiously.
After Ling Feizhuo's hard work, it took a full hour to finally convince Ling Jiaojiao to agree to a Canglan Army military parade.
The most important reason why Ling Jiaojiao agreed was that there was no danger in the military parade held outside the city. It wouldn't hurt to let Ling Feizhuo, a member of the Canglan Kingdom, hold a grand military parade to enjoy it.
Ningbyian City is hundreds of miles away from the Lieyang Mountains, and the whole area is an endless plain, which is enough to give an early warning.
They were holding a military parade under Yongbyon Castle, and it was impossible for the Green Wolf tribe to launch a sneak attack.
Soon, the news spread throughout Yongbyon City that the monarch was going to hold a grand military parade.
All the military camps stationed in the city began to prepare, and it only took a short day to prepare for the grand military parade.
Early next morning.
Ningbian City, on the south gate.
The monarch Ling Feizhuo and the regent Princess Ling Jiaojiao sit high on the thrones of the monarch and regent at the south gate of Ningbian City. The two martial kings Bian Herong and Jin Xinwei also made a rare appearance, sitting side by side with Ling Feizhuo and Ling Jiaojiao at the top of the city. On the throne of King Wu.
Bian Herong looks a bit older, but King Jin Xinweiwu still has a middle-aged appearance, and his appearance is slightly ordinary. But the might of the martial kings who were calm and self-confident made everyone feel tremendous pressure.
On both sides of the four main seats, there are a group of important officials of the imperial court, including Prime Minister Liu Guoliang, Tingwei Grand Minister Ling Hong and other eight important officials who hold the power of the imperial court. Further to the left and right, there are many young ministers, such as Ling Qingshan, Yan Xiuzheng, Hao Ziming and so on.
In addition, many Wuhou from the Imperial Academy were granted permission to watch the Canglan military parade at the top of the city.
In addition to the city head, there are tens of thousands of people from Ningbian City on the city wall, all crowded at the city head to watch the excitement. Most of them were auxiliary troops without combat effectiveness in Yongbyon City. They served for the army stationed in Yongbyon City and were responsible for blacksmithing, raising war horses, transporting grain and other chores.
Before the military parade was about to begin, many people on the city were talking in low voices.
Hao Ziming felt very unhappy. He curled his lips and laughed in a low voice with the young ministers around him, "The commander-in-chief of the army is not here, but the monarch is so eager to rush to the military parade. It seems that he is afraid that Brother Ye will come back and steal the limelight of his personal expedition!... But who doesn't know that Brother Ye is the coach of this battle."
"Brother Hao, please keep your voice down!... It is not easy for His Majesty to find such an opportunity to show his majesty."
Ling Qingshan warned in a low voice.
He was quite dissatisfied with the monarch's conduct of this grand military parade. If he really wanted to improve the morale of the entire army, it would be better to wait until Ye Fan came back to hold it. It is estimated that the morale of the entire army would be sharply full.
Now that Mark is not around, they all feel like something is missing.
Not only the two of them, but the other ministers also expressed dissatisfaction and did not agree with it very much. But since Princess Ling Jiaojiao agreed, it was hard for them to say anything.
"I announce that the Canglan Military Parade has begun——!"
Ling Feizhuo, who was sitting on the throne of the king, didn't know what the ministers were talking about in private, so he said excitedly. The eunuchs nearby immediately raised their voices together.
"Crunch~~!"
At the east gate of Ningbian City, an extremely heavy black iron gate was slowly pulled up by mechanisms on both sides of the gate.
"Boom!"
A group of one thousand heavy cavalry under the banner of the Imperial Guard, riding red flame horses breathing flames, came out from the east city gate, passed the moat, and passed under the south city gate.
"Red Flame Army! The top elite of the Imperial Guard, all cavalry of the Martial Realm, equipped with the most sophisticated mysterious spears and battle armors, even their mounts are all Red Flame Horse Beast Lords!"
Cheers suddenly erupted from the head of Nancheng in Ningbian City.
This is an extremely elite heavy cavalry. Although there are only a thousand cavalry, the mounts of Wu Zun and Crimson Flame Horse Beast are all mounted, which makes them almost reach the peak combat effectiveness of Wu Zun.
This kind of heavy cavalry alone has assembled nearly 20 to 30% of the strength of the entire Canglan Kingdom's warriors.
You must know that in the ordinary armies of the vassal states, at most one warrior is the captain, and the hundreds or thousands of soldiers under him are all warriors.
When the 30,000-strong army led by Pan Dahai, Cao Hao and others conquered the Desert Ghost Clan in Xiayang County, there were only about 300 martial arts captains leading the 30,000-strong army.
But this thousand-strong Red Flame Army heavy cavalry, the soldiers at the bottom are all terrifying warriors, which is enough to be intimidating.
Following this Red Flame Army, a group of 300 Eagle Beast Air Cavalry soon appeared.
This group is smaller in scale, but still uniformly composed of Martial Lords, riding three hundred Eagle Beast Lord mounts. They drove their mounts to fly at a low altitude of hundreds of feet, whizzing past the south city gate.
"Look, three hundred Eagle Beast Sovereign Air Cavalry!"
"Oh my god, it's so powerful! With such an elite eagle beast air cavalry, we can launch a fatal attack on the Green Wolf tribe in the air."
"Even if there are winged beasts in the Burning Sun Mountains, we can still dispatch the Eagle Beast Air Cavalry to deal with them!"
A burst of even more enthusiastic cheers erupted from the top of Ningbian City.
This means that the Canglan Kingdom not only has a powerful ground army of hundreds of thousands, but also has a very elite air force.
After these two super elites passed by, the subsequent military parade finally became somewhat normal. An army of 50,000 imperial guards passed through the south gate one after another, and then formed an array outside the city.
These 50,000 imperial guards are elites selected from countless warriors in Canglan King City. Although most of the soldiers are warriors, their combat effectiveness is also very good.
Subsequently, 100,000 Ningbian troops and 100,000 local county troops marched out from the east city gate with a bang and formed an array on the large plain outside the south city gate.
The flags are like a forest, the war horses are neighing, and the dust is flying, covering the sky and the sun.
The Ningbian Army is also an elite force, and this large army has been guarding the border of Canglan Country for a long time. It has frequently fought against the Green Wolf tribe in the Lieri Mountains. Even the ordinary soldiers appear to be very experienced and murderous.
And there is another point: there are thousands of "criminal soldiers" in the Yongbyon army. A small number of them have even reached the level of Wuhou. They were once famous courtiers, such as Rui Liangzhi, the former Minister of War, and Qin Qing, the princess. They were punished into the army because of their involvement in the Canglan Palace Rebellion. Potency. They serve as pawns in the Yongbyon Army, but their cultivation strength is so profound that it is simply outrageous.
If the Yongbyon Army had not been under the command of King Wu Jin Xinwei, this "sinful army" alone would have been lawless and no one could control it.
The 100,000 local county troops are a little green and their combat experience is not very high. But they were carefully selected troops from ten counties. Each county dispatched 10,000 soldiers, and Luyang Mansion was only allocated a few hundred quotas to participate in the battle. Even if their combat experience is not very high, their overall strength is still comparable to that of the Yongbyon Army.
It took a whole day for the Wuhou generals and the 250,000 Canglan army to come out of the camp in Ningbian City and complete the military parade and formation outside the city.
Such a huge army could be arrayed for more than ten miles outside the southern city. After leaving the city, this large army will be stationed outside the city, preparing to set out to conquer the Qinglang tribe in the Lieri Mountains after Ye Fan arrives in a few days.
"This is my king, the elite army of Canglan Kingdom!"
Standing at the top of the city, Lord Canglan Ling Feihui looked at the banners outside the city and glanced at the endless army, his face flushed with excitement.
This is his Canglan army. As the king of Canglan, he possesses an extremely powerful military force. The only pity is that the regent, Princess Ling Jiaojiao, oversees the country, so he can only enjoy the military parade on this city. Without Ling Jiaojiao's nod, he couldn't command an army of a thousand people.
He even thought about whether he should find a way to take the King's Jade Seal back from Ling Jiaojiao's hands, and become a veritable King of Canglan himself.
But when he thought of Mark's power, Ling Feizhuo suddenly shuddered.
Ye Fan is no longer just a minister of the Ministry of War and the leader of the Canglan Palace Test Wuhou.
When Ye Fan was just the Imperial Prince's Supervisor, Marquis Wu, he helped the late king put down the rebellion, and he was already so powerful.
Now Ye Fan already owns a mammoth beast king, and his status has skyrocketed to the level of the king of martial arts. His strength is even more unfathomable and terrifying to him.
Even Bian Herong and King Jin Xinwei would not offend Ye Fan, let alone others. Besides, it was the late king who ordered Ling Jiaojiao to be the regent, and neither the two King Wu nor the important ministers would stand by him.
"With Ye Fan backing her up, who can touch her? Well, my ability is only so much. Taking back the royal power may mess up the Canglan Kingdom. It's better to let Wang Mei handle the court affairs."
Ling Feizhuo sighed in his heart, and his previously extremely exciting expression became a little sluggish. A grand military parade just now ignited his ambition, but it was extinguished in the blink of an eye.
Yan Xiu was watching not far from the city head, watching the monarch's face become a little gloomy and disappointed. He knew that the monarch had no courage to seize power, and was very helpless and disappointed.
He came up with many ideas to help the monarch regain his royal power, but his opponent was too powerful. So powerful that he could only come up with some small ideas to increase the monarch's reputation, and did not dare to confront him head-on.
"Your Majesty, after a day of military parade, it is almost sunset. Do you want to announce the end of the Canglan Military Parade?!"
The old eunuch was waiting nearby and asked the king Ling Feizhuo.
Ling Feizhuo was about to nod in agreement, but at this moment, he suddenly heard slight vibrations coming from the ground, and even the head of Ningbian City was shaking rhythmically.
Even though Canglan's army was arrayed outside the city, with thousands of troops and horses galloping, it did not cause such an earthquake.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
The sound of vibration became clearer and clearer, and it was the footsteps of a huge beast stepping on the ground.
At the southern gate of Ningbian City, the monarch Ling Feizhuo, the regent Ling Jiaojiao, the two kings Bian Herong and Jin Xinwei, the ministers, and the princes and princes couldn't help but be shocked. They all stood up and faced the Canglan Plain in the rear. Looking in the direction.
"It's Mr. Ye Fan, Mr. Ye, Minister of the Ministry of War, is back!"
"His mammoth king is back!"
The 250,000 troops arrayed outside the city and the countless people in Yongbyon City were extremely excited and looked eagerly towards the direction of the sound that shook the earth.
