Chapter 1: The Countercurrent of History

I was unlucky, I was sent on this cargo plane to escort this thing back to China, but it was very coincidental to encounter this storm, full of depression and touching the parachute on my body, the other members of the archaeological team should be in a luxury hotel in a scenic spot at this time, but I have to hold this biggest harvest this time - the ancient bronze of Central Asia - the armillary sphere fragment tossed in this goddamn weather at high altitude, and by the way tossed his poor stomach early vomit. I knew that the team leader was greedy for this ancient old cargo plane that could not see the years, so he was killed and was not tempted by the captain's year-end bonus in advance to get on the thief ship, no, it was a thief plane, not to mention that only the two co-pilots looked like this, bin Laden's relatives and friends, the face was very suspicious, and when it took off, it was like an old hen squatting in the nest, grinding and rubbing, and the fluttering fuselage parts were everywhere, making people suspect that they could fall apart at any time and return to the earth。 Is this year really the same as the boring blind man said, the West is very disadvantageous? The trembling was getting worse and worse to interrupt my thoughts, and suddenly a huge tremor of the plane slammed me into the bulkhead, and outside the porthole, huge electric lights gathered around the plane, and before I could come to my senses, countless lightning bolts struck the fuselage. The blazing light engulfed everything......

As with countless mysterious disappearances, there is no trace of the plane in the world.

When I woke up, it was already high in the sky, and when I came back to my senses, the cotton fields and hills under my feet were faintly visible, and I almost didn't faint, and I finally opened the parachute in a daz, and the huge air impact pushed him up again, and the clear sky didn't look like a storm at all, I vaguely felt that something special was born, but I couldn't grasp it.

But he didn't know that in the area he skimmed, people kept exclaiming, and then worshipped. Suddenly, the burning plane came out of nowhere, and after slamming into a hill, it exploded into a rain of fire and countless debris, and then my parachute was also on fire. Fortunately, at this time, it was only a few tens of meters above the ground, and it fell directly into the hill in the dense forest, and after hanging in the dense forest for a while, it finally landed safely and recovered a life, but except for an aviation dragon vest, the clothes and pants were hung one by one, and now this appearance is no different from the Beijing ape man in the prehistory museum.

(So the local county chronicles: Tang calendar Tianbao thirteen years of military rebellion, there is a sky and people in the sky, wingspan like snow, for the meteorite fire, falling faintly missing.) After the fall of the mountain, the red light soared into the sky, and when there was a big war, in the middle, countless soldiers were killed, and the rate was defeated. At that time, many people in the whole area saw that the ancients had a superstitious belief that marching and fighting were so superstitious that the rebel generals along the way also regarded it as a bad omen and ordered the pursuit to be stopped, allowing many Tang soldiers to flee with their lives.

When I was in the ancient Tang Dynasty, I was already wearing the uniform of the Tang Army's Qianniu (centurion-level officer) and a large group of frightened duck-like Tang soldiers, running for the life of the enemy cavalry. At this time, he really experienced what it means to "turn one misstep into a thousand hatreds".

At first, I walked out of the mountains and forests, and saw the soldiers who died all over the ground, and the thick and fresh smell of blood almost made me faint, and I had not recovered from the shock of the ancient cold weapon battlefield, and the broken flag under my feet gave me another impact, a big traditional "Tang" character. So I ran to ancient times, so I brought me something, solar computers, metallurgical and chemical manuals, and the worst of all, I took a saber or something to mix up some money, and I was very confused for a while.

The hands and feet are still numb, I don't care about bad luck, check a robe that looks good and is the most intact, the unlucky guy was cut off by a knife, and the robe was fortunately not splashed with any blood, and he wore it indiscriminately, and he didn't want to go far yet, and he was confused about the target of the ** family.

If it weren't for the nylon armor to block it, it would have been made into a hedgehog or something by those random arrows chasing ** flying, and I had the intention of surrendering, but the problem was that the chasing soldiers who killed the red eyes didn't seem to have any intention of being captured. Seeing that people raised their hands to stop, they put down their bows and drew their knives and rushed up, and what was worse was that I realized that something was very wrong with me, as if the strength of the electric shock was still flowing in my body, and even affected my actions, and then the guy who rushed over was like an evil spirit, planted his horse, hung on his pedal and was dragged away by the struggle.

As early as when I was a child, I heard reports in the media that some people had abnormal phenomena such as electromagnetism after being struck by lightning, but I didn't expect to be reborn in my own body, not only how to run the sword and iron weapon to my hand when I was nervous, but also faintly feel the idea of someone nearby, the sword in the hand naturally led more pursuers to turn around and chase over, but also this kind of muddy nightmare, in several critical moments is not inexplicably the chaser shouted "demon" and fled. It was a sudden and faint sense of danger nearby, and he avoided it in time. Then I had another thing, the cavalry of this era actually did not have such a thing as a horseshoe.

It was not easy to inquire from the mouth of the soldiers who met and fled with some Shaanxi dialect that the name of the year was the thirteenth year of Tianbao, but he shouted for help in his heart, how did he run to this unlucky era, and caught up with the beginning of the Anshi Rebellion.

But life still has to be fled, the murderous enemy army can chase closely, follow these headless flies and flee, and once again flee to a col with no way ahead, but now there are hundreds of defeated troops inside. Apparently also desperate.

It was easy to have a pause, and I couldn't help but take a few breaths of air, ignoring the strange eyes around me, and was about to tear off this damn costume, but someone from behind me ran closer, shouting loudly, "Oh no, the thieves are here again" , The shouting and killing sound started again, the whole audience was in a commotion, most of the angry eyes converged on him, and it seemed that the sound of gnashing teeth could still be heard, wouldn't it, could it be that the chasing soldiers followed their own clothing, I secretly screamed, but out of the corner of my eye, someone was already looking for a hiding place, and someone was killing and wiping blood in the face and preparing to pretend to be dead.

Suddenly, he turned around and grabbed a dirty flag that he didn't know how many feet had been stepped on, rushed out, raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, follow me, there are few of them." , There was silence all of a sudden, and then a roar surged up, I wiped a cold sweat, it really worked, these ancient soldiers were really stupid, and there were a few fools who rushed up in desperation, someone took the lead and someone naturally followed, followed by a large group, and then I let the soldiers rush forward wildly, running slower and slower, looking at the front of the melee to do a mess of tearing and killing, ready to slip away when I saw something bad, but the way out was blocked into a mess, I didn't want to chase the enemy soldiers really didn't have much, in a blink of an eye was a rush of Tang soldiers pulled off the horse to clean up, until I wanted to bypass them and slip out, but there was a group of unkind faces surrounding me, I was begging for mercyI didn't mean to. "Tuantou, how should I go and ask for instructions......

Clean up the battlefield, collect everything that can be used, and then assign it according to the self-reported ranks. Even a few horses were saddled with minor injuries at my suggestion. Then my group, relying on the tactics of the sea of people, packed up a few small groups of chasing soldiers, and relied on camouflage and fake death and other means, luckily avoided some large groups of people, but was pushed by the soldiers to the real leader, and there were a large number of people who went there, and they couldn't get rid of it, (because now my official rank is the largest, and the role of generals in the ancient cold weapon era is far more important in spirit and command than in modern times)

As the saying goes, there are many people with great strength, and along the way, there are constantly people who come and go, bringing together about a thousand people, including those who carry stretchers, and the wounded soldiers who support them, the more impossible it is for me to take the opportunity to slip away. But I can't find someone with a higher rank than me (it is said that because the more senior officers are almost dead, they can receive more rewards for their heads.) I can push it off, and even if I don't have enough status to seize power, I can easily be suppressed by my dominant followers.

In desperation, for the sake of my own safety, I had to find a way to use the common sense that I am a modern person and read the book to reorganize this straggler, distribute weapons and horses, and set up a team to ambulance and carry the wounded, at least to prevent the enemy from catching up and losing too quickly, and it is too late for me to escape. Everyone's mental outlook is still good, but I'm hungry and panicked, and I also have a new plan, if I meet the future government, this force should also be able to change to a good identity.

(Much later, when I asked why he chose to follow me in the chaos of the army, the answer I received made me laugh, "Because you are really wise and powerful, boss, you are too conspicuous to be mixed in with a pile of clouds and bleak ruined army, and when your brothers are despondent and hopeless for their lives, you are the least nervous and even a little relaxed.") "I was speechless, I hadn't figured out the situation yet.)

And the other stragglers who had parted ways before and turned back brought bad news, there were traces of rebels in all directions, and they went north to Weishui, only to now the Weishui ferry boats were burned by the rebels' rangers, and those who fled south also bumped into the Anjun brigade, and none of the fools who went back to the east came back. It strengthened everyone's determination to follow me

(History: There are traces of enemies in all directions, only the public avoids them, and everyone is respectful).

And the reason why I decided to go west is because in history, the emperor also ran west.

I don't want them to walk aimlessly to the west for a long time, except that the stomach is getting more and more hungry, the enemy soldiers did not meet half of it, but when they were foraging for food in Jincheng County, they bumped into the rear team of the Yulin Army that guarded the Emperor Xuanzong who fled westward, and naturally a mouth edict was collected all over to defend the emperor, and I couldn't hide if I wanted to, and I was regarded as the right Yuling Guard to go down to Gyeonggi Province Huazhou Xinping Zhongfu from Liupin Guoyi Du Lieutenant (this is a subordinate reported for me, in fact, I don't even know where this place is in Xinping),

However, the officer who took the cha didn't care, and only read a sentence "Oh, is it Marshal Geshu's old department?" I also repeatedly said that it was wrong to make a mistake, but I kept my mind, and from then on I could call myself Marshal Geshu's old department, which had a poem praising "The Big Dipper is high, and Geshu carries a knife at night." Tonight, I peep at Huma, I don't dare to pass by Yao", but it is a big tree, which is a good background.

Then the bears were promoted to three levels and reassigned the left leading guard to the cavalry general from the five grades, leading the original team to supplement some soldiers to make up 3,000 people, and the right to act as a guard. I also sent a deputy general named Wei Tao, this new Wei Tao is about the same age as me, I don't know my details, but he is obedient and cooperative, so I simply pushed Wei Tao on the troublesome things that I don't know about the preparation of food and equipment, who called him a deputy general!

At this time, I changed my mind again, because he inquired from the soldiers who came from other places one after another, Jingzhao Prefecture Xinfeng and Weinan in the east of Guannei, Yongxian in Qizhou in the south, and Zheng County in Huazhou in the north had either fallen or there were rebel activities. And now I have no money and no food, so I can't go, it's better to wait until I get to Sichuan, use this title to make some money and then make plans, if I can stay in Shu, the country of abundance, as a leisurely errand, and wait until the end of the war, it's not bad, use your own skills to open a rare and peculiar flavor museum to ensure that the wealth is rolling, and you can also take the opportunity to visit ancient Sichuan.

It's a pity that I didn't have a good dream for long, at this time, I learned from the people who fled that the rebel general Cui Qianyou entered Chang'an, and chased after him, the striker has passed Jincheng, manna, and the so-called guard quickly came in handy, that is, to leave the guard after the break and intercept the pursuers, no way.

I had to curse in my heart the man who gave this order, and at the same time I couldn't help but be embraced by the tribe and go to the poor skinny only horse. After the break, it is naturally indispensable to engage the pursuing enemy, and the enemy is not as easy to deal with as the troops who chase and kill the defeated soldiers and exchange their heads for rewards, so they send elite horsemen to pursue the emperor. Fortunately, after several engagements a few days ago, the soldiers have recovered from the panic of defeat and escape, and I used some modern common sense to make those ancient soldiers more comfortable, and successfully ate a few small-scale chasing horses, and gradually regained some morale and confidence.

Trapping the pit and mixing rope to catch a few scouts, using special means to make the prisoners spit out the news that a large group of cavalry is coming, causing a lot of commotion in the new army, I also secretly complained, but I may not be able to run from time to time, if this team disperses, I am afraid that I will die faster.

Therefore, as a last resort, I cheered up and brought my lieutenant battalion by battalion to coax and deceive the soldiers and self-blowing, "Don't be afraid, there are many of us, and ants will gnaw them to death if they bite elephants", "On the plain, if you want to run, you will die faster", and the soldiers couldn't help but believe it.

In order to save my life, I don't want to think of a way, but fortunately, I usually read a lot of books, and I am in a hurry to come up with some urgent electric warfare examples, and I will still be able to arrange measures to block the enemy according to the map. And the martial arts that he has never been able to go into battle to kill the enemy do not have the martial arts of taking the lead, and I don't know how these guys are willing to believe it. (In fact, I later learned that because there was no clear boundary between military generals and civilian officials in the Tang Dynasty, and many positions in the troops close to Gyeonggi were given as rewards by the emperor, and were named by civilian officials and ministers' children, even Du Fu had done the so-called military service from the Bapin Left Guard to lead the government to join the military, and it was not surprising that he could not know military strategy and martial arts)

At that moment, I ordered someone to find things such as the umbrella cover of the emperor's car that had been thrown away, scattered along the way, and got some women's dresses and ornaments, tore them up and hung them all the way and threw them into the woods along the way, piling up a large number of collected dead branches and leaves around the periphery, and then the whole army covered themselves in ambush with branches and grass to wait for the rabbits.

This ambush was a good hour, the weather was hot, the soldiers were already sweating, he was not very sure, enough to wait until the sky was getting dark, and finally someone was chasing him, and the smoke and dust were rolling and stretching far away, and there were two or three thousand horsemen.

The enemy general He Yan Bonian is not a rough person, when he begged the Khitan, or the king of An who fought against the envoy, he was defeated and fled, thanks to their guard in the thousands of Khitan iron cavalry, in the end, only he and a few brothers were left to protect the bloody Cui Dashuai to kill back, over the years of the border court battle, only mixed to today's status, the experience is not less. "This time, the king raised his troops and was invincible, and the future of his generals was also very bright. Just ...... again"

Originally, as long as you pay a little attention, you can show clues and be prepared. Because of the hasty actions of the new army, there are inevitably some omissions. It's a pity that God seems to help, it is dark and difficult to argue when he arrives, plus the Tang army has been running and routing in the past few days, and he has not met a decent one, so he can't help but underestimate the enemy a lot.

I thought there would be a vicious battle after entering the customs before, but I didn't know that the famous emperor of the Han family left Kyoto and his subordinates to run faster than a rabbit, and when he entered Chang'an, he was one step slower than other troops, and before he grabbed anything, it came that Cui Dashuai listened to the words of Chang'an, who surrendered, and closed the city gate, saying that he would leave the military order for King An to come and collect.

Seeing the full load of other people's rich women, the brothers didn't grab anything and were already holding back their anger, so they finally asked Cui Dashuai for this errand to chase the emperor of the Han family, so easy to find the trace of the emperor's car, it was too simple to come, and the subordinates came to report the women's clothes, only to remember that it is said that the emperor seems to have taken many women to flee for their lives, and they are all rare beauties on weekdays. I couldn't help but feel irritable in my heart, although those mothers-in-law of the Hu family were coquettish and bold, but compared to the delicate and gentle taste of the women of the Han family, they were also looking forward to it for a long time.

So he dispelled his last scruples, and at this time, the soldiers knew that there were women who were in a commotion, and they ignored the military orders, shouting to chase them in, and they couldn't stop them, and they couldn't escape the temptation of capturing the emperor, so he made a decision that he would regret forever, and shouted "A few around the emperor are not allowed to move, the king must stay, whoever finds it belongs to whom", laughed wildly left and right and drove the horse forward, throwing aside the common sense of the soldiers who entered Feng Lin Shenjin, and rushed in.

Just after going deeper, I saw only scattered cars, the evening birds were surging, but I didn't see half a figure, I knew that it was not good, an order, pulled the people and horses to rush out, and then the wind passed the smell of smoke, the fire rose on all sides, shouting to kill the sky, at this time it was July, the autumn sun was in full bloom, a few days of sunshine, the weather was dry, the fallen leaves and dead branches were piled up innumerable, and in a blink of an eye the smoke and fire filled the forest, sparing him the rebel soldiers were all brave, and they were in a downwind position, and for a time they were also smoked and their heads were mixed, and they turned around and ran, but the horse was also dizzy and turned around, and did not cooperate at all, and no matter how good the riding skills in the forest could not be performed, they could only push each other and trample into a mess, and the ambush soldiers outside the forest were covered with wet wipes and light armor, A group of ten people covered the assault, and they besieged and killed them when they saw people, and the battle situation was almost one-sided, and the rebels in the melee were indistinguishable from the enemy, and they didn't know how many people there were, and they didn't know where they were safe, and the horses were easily frightened in the smoke, and often didn't wait for the Tang army to kill, and first jumped around and threw the riders on the body to the tree, and as a result, they were dragged to death or trampled on each other more than they were cut down by the Tang army.

He Yan Bonian is not an incompetent person, a sleep, immediately engaged in resistance, while organizing a retreat, but unfortunately the chaos is too fast, subordinates for the merit of the woman and scattered, the military order can not be far away, can only be divided into the enemy and my own battle, the sound tearing is exhausted and easy to gather a few personal soldiers around him, shouting and killing on all sides, the situation is unclear only with hundreds of close riders carefully rushed through the gap of the fire, the upwind panic protruded, it is a pity that when they are exhausted they have not had time to wipe off the soot on their faces, and they are trapped in a large number of bodies with grass branches and dead leaves Tang Army surrounded, the Tang Army hid in the gun forest behind the horse to the shield and desperately fired arrows diagonally into the air, just do not engage, arrows rain, Shoot the rest of the men and horses almost, only a little of Yu He Yan Bonian's personal guards abandoned the horse as a shield and fought hard to kill before they were broken through a corner, but now after the archers retreated, more spearmen surrounded them, and the guns were poked together, but no one could get out.

Cleaning the battlefield banner armor has gained a lot, when he hurriedly withdrew from Chang'an, the equipment was not complete, and he lost his armor along the way, just to add, especially the frightened war horses in addition to the wounded and dead There are more than 1,000 horses available, even if they can't ride, they can also be used as pack horses.

This is the first time I have officially commanded an army to fight, I have no ability to take the lead, and I have never experienced a battle formation, only a brain is more advanced than the ancients' common sense, fortunately, there are still some experienced subordinates to implement, and they actually won a battle.

According to the report of the new lieutenant general who had taken care of the aftermath, hundreds of his own men were killed and wounded, and almost none of the enemy's more than 2,500 horsemen escaped. The remnants of smoke curled up, and I couldn't help but feel full of ambition for a while, and my confidence was greatly increased, and I felt a little dreaming.

In just such a moment, it is easy to lose thousands of lives, but I don't know that it is better to say that I am lucky than a good command, and I am lucky to meet a similar number of cavalry with a new 3,000 soldiers.

was proud, a gust of cold wind swept over bringing a fishy smell and burnt smell, and also brought an intermittent scream, Huo Ran noticed that there were corpses all over the ground, and there were moans of the wounded everywhere, and the sergeant who was cleaning the battlefield simply mended a knife for him when he saw it, and he looked expressionless as a matter of course. I can't help but shudder, the most direct feeling of the cruelty of war, so many lives are lost in their own hands like this, it feels strange, I used to kill people to survive when I resisted the pursuit of the enemy with the defeated soldiers, and now I deliberately killed so many people, I can't help but have a little guilt and the lives of ancient people are really worthless sighs, I am thinking.

But I soon realized that the ancient medical conditions were terrible. The indiscriminate bandaging, the dirty drugs, and the random disposal made me not want to do it myself.

To say that half of the team doctor of my archaeological team is also helpless, although I took the recommendation of my father's old friend, but the archaeological team has no formal membership, I have to take the number one as the team doctor, although I suspect that they value my cooking skills.

For this reason, I had to undergo half a year of medical training, mainly the content of emergency treatment in the field, including a section on battlefield ambulance, because there are some uneven places in the countries we are going to, it is better to have the risk of wandering tribal armed forces and bandits, and it is more than enough to use on these wounded, and I don't know how advanced it is, (cold weapon warfare is mainly about knives, arrow wounds, bone wounds, etc.).

There are only two doctors in the army, and it is said that they are still equipped with imperial doctors, and their specialty is medicine and internal medicine. Seeing that they were really in a hurry, I found more than 100 sergeants who were said to be more clever-minded, and personally taught them how to use the sheep's intestines and curved needles, tear strips of cloth to make bandages, disinfect them with boiling water, make splints, cut sharp weapons, and use some things that can be found everywhere to stop bleeding and heal wounds, and other battlefield first aid skills.

And luckily for me to see as a demonstration of those experiments, seeing that I, the main general, bowed down to their relatives, and did something for them that ordinary people hated, although it was inevitable that they would die and live, but they were also moved beyond measure, and the happy ones couldn't find the North and the like.

After spending half a day's work, I finally let some people know at least some emergency binding and treatment methods and the most basic methods and precautions for hemostasis and disinfection. If nothing else, it can save many people from being disabled in the future (the most common death from cold organs is surgical infection, and in ancient times, there was a lack of antibiotics, so they could only rely on their own immunity).

To be honest, seeing them wipe the wound with a handful of plant ash is the most primitive way to stop bleeding, it is really a frenzied sweat, this thing is indeed effective for blood clotting, but the chance of contracting tetanus is just as high.

Hectic in the aftermath.

The front sergeant came to report that he had accidentally intercepted a grain team, and interrogated the prisoners at the moment, it turned out that the rebels who had entered the pass several ways had sent chasing soldiers to catch Tang Xuanzong and his party, He Yan Bonian was too anxious to chase in order to grab the merits, and did not bring too many rations, Cui Qianyou in Chang'an was worried about the lack of grain and grass, and specially mobilized thousands of cattle and horses to load thousands of stone and rice grain, and rushed to transport the relief, the previous Tang army was defeated too quickly, so the rebels who escorted the army did not expect that He Yanbo would be wiped out, and only sent a hundred horsemen to deal with the rebels and bandits along the way, and the result was cheap for us. The funny thing is that because some of our soldiers lacked armor and ignored the warmth and blood of the death, they took off and put them on their bodies, and as a result, those escorts not only did not see suspicion but also enthusiastically sent them to the door.

At this time, I didn't know that since the moment I stood on this land, the wheel of Datang's fate had begun to leave the track of history and sail towards the unpredictable future. When many years later, I learned that it was precisely because Cui Youqian, the first rebel governor to enter Chang'an, was surprised to see the fireball falling westward, regarded it as an omen, and urgently looked for someone to take advantage of it.

There is a saying: the West is very unfavorable, and the troubled times are in trouble
