Chapter 172 Heavenly Phenomena
In the Xianyang North School Field, a Qin army soldier lined up neatly, and they were all soldiers who were responsible for recruiting and suppressing the Langya rebels this time.
Li Qing has always felt that Zhang Han is a very strange person, Zhang Han in history, once led 100,000 prisoners to defeat Chen Sheng, Wu Guang's rebel army, and beheaded Xiang Liang in the battle of Dingtao, and once became the pillar of Daqin, but such the last pillar of Daqin, but surrendered to Xiang Yu in the end, what happened Li Qing doesn't know, but now it seems that Zhang Han is absolutely loyal to Daqin.
Zhang Han didn't know what Li Qing was thinking, he looked at the sky, and the sun was on the sun.
Zhang Han stepped up to the stage and pulled out the sword at his waist, and at the same time, a general of Zhang Han's family stood behind Zhang Han with a golden Yue, which was a fake Jieyue given by Qin Shi Huang to control the soldiers of all counties.
Zhang Han looked at the army, and then said loudly: "Under the account of the First Emperor of the Great Qin, Zhang Han, the rebellious general Zhang Han, was ordered to conquer the rebellion of Langya County, and you should fight with me to kill the enemy." ”
"Kill"
"Kill"
Zhang Han was impassioned, the morale of the Qin army soared, and all the soldiers of the Qin army cheered for the upcoming military exploits.
"Li Qing listens to orders."
Zhang Han suddenly looked at Li Qing, Li Qing was slightly stunned, and hurriedly accepted the order.
Li Qing walked out of the array and arched his hand: "General Li Qing takes the order." ”
Zhang Han said: "Li Qing, this general ordered you to lead a thousand troops first, open the road all the way to the mountains, and build bridges when encountering water, so as to ensure that the army marches correctly." ”
"Li Qing took the order."
Li Qing selected a thousand soldiers and horses, and the first Zhang Han opened for half a day, a black flag fluttered, and the Xuanniao pattern on it made Li Qing stunned for a while.
The Xuanniao of the Mandate of Heaven, descended to give birth to Shang, Xuanniao was originally the national bird of the Shang Dynasty, the ancestor of the Qin people was the general of the Shang Dynasty, after the destruction of Shang, the evil came to die with the king of Zhou, and the Qin people were demoted to slaves of horses by the Zhou Dynasty.
Now that the Qin Dynasty continues to use the pattern of the Xuanniao, it seems to be like a reincarnation, Zhou destroyed Shang, and then Qin destroyed Zhou, speaking of which, Qin seems to be a continuation of Shang.
Shaking off the strange thoughts in his mind, Li Qing turned over and got on his horse, ready to pull out.
Behind Li Qing, there were also Huang Meng, Nie Jing, Meng Hu and other soldiers of the Qin family.
Huang Meng was worried about Li Qing, so he decided to protect Li Qing closely, while Nie Jing claimed that he was Li Qing's first general and wanted to be Li Qing's flag officer, but Li Qing was worried that Nie Jing would make a mistake when he went to the battlefield for the first time, so he handed over the position of flag officer to Meng Hu.
The flag officer is a very special position, on the battlefield, the flag officer is the mouth of the main general, the battlefield is chaotic, it is impossible to command by shouting, therefore, the soldiers on both sides can only look at the flag to act, the flag advances, the flag retreats and retreats, if the flag falls, then it means that the battle is defeated.
"Let's go."
Li Qing took a thousand Qin troops out of Xianyang and went straight to the Tiger Pass.
Meng Yi stood on the city tower, looking at Li Qing in the distance, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, Meng Yi knew his sister's thoughts, but if he wanted to marry with Meng, he had to have some military merits, Meng Yi valued Li Qing very much, but if Li Qing was just a speech official, then no matter how much Meng Yi valued Li Qing, it was impossible for him to marry Meng Ying to Li Qing, because Meng Yi was the daughter of Jiangmen, and he could only be a general.
"Li Qing, I hope you can grow up on the battlefield."
The army went out of Xianyang, along the way, the wind and waves were calm, after all, this is still the land of Guanzhong, it is the hinterland of Qin, the ordinary bandit grass Kou saw the banner of Daqin, it was too late to hide, naturally there would be no long-eyed thief who dared to come to Li Qing's trouble.
"Set up camp."
Li Qing saw that the clouds in the sky were a little yellow, and knew that it might rain, so he ordered to set up camp.
Huang Meng said strangely: "Brother, it's still early, why do you have to set up camp?" ”
Li Qing pointed to the sky and said: "The clouds are piling up in the sky, this is about to hit the rainstorm, if we don't camp early, it will be raining." ”
When Huang Meng heard this, he said in surprise: "Brother still understands celestial phenomena? ”
Li Qing smiled helplessly, this kind of thing that can only be regarded as common sense in later generations, in this Qin Dynasty, it can even make people feel amazing.
Camping looks simple, in fact, whether it is the choice of camp, or the structure of the camp, it is very exquisite, Li Qing learned from the book of lieutenants and soldiers that camping, you must choose a place to avoid trees and near water, avoid trees, in order to prevent fire attacks, close to water, one is for the convenience of drinking water, and the other is also fire prevention, ancient camping, fire prevention is always the first priority.
In addition to avoiding trees and being close to water, there is also a point to stay away from the valley depression, away from the valley depression is to prevent flash floods, once it encounters heavy rain, the valley will accumulate a lot of rainwater, once the camp is not properly camped, it is very likely to cause the camp to be washed away by floods.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Several Qin troops nailed wooden stakes outside the camp to make antlers, originally if they were just camping in peacetime, there would be no need for such trouble, but in order to accumulate experience in camping, Li Qing asked the soldiers to camp according to the camp of the long-term garrison every place he went, so that even if the camp was attacked by the enemy, it could also counterattack with the camp.
"General, we just stay for one night, we don't need to be so troublesome every time, at this rate, when will we be able to get to Langya."
A Qin army commander said with some complaints that every time Li Qing went to a place, it would take at least two hours to build a camp, which greatly slowed down the march.
Li Qing shook his head and said, "Building a camp is a big deal, and the Langya rebels won't run, so it's too late for us to go slowly." ”
The commander of the Qin army was helpless, shook his head, and had to continue to arrange for the soldiers to camp.
Making antlers, rejecting horses, digging trenches, arranging horse pits, and looking at the gradually forming camp, Li Qing nodded with satisfaction.
"Boom"
Not long after Li Qing's camp was set up, the sky exploded and it began to rain, seeing this situation, Huang Meng couldn't help but admire: "If it weren't for the foresight of our brothers, we would have to camp in the rain." ”
Li Qing smiled, celestial phenomena seemed to the ancients to be a very mysterious thing, but for Li Qing, who had received modern education, ordinary celestial phenomena were still easy to see.
"Crackling"
Zhang Han's army braved the rain a little before, his clothes and armor were wet, Zhang Han looked at the heavy rain, and his face showed a depressed look, this damn heavy rain.
"General, we can't go on like this, we have to find a place to shelter from the rain, otherwise the grain and grass will be wet."
A general under Zhang Han came to Zhang Han's side and said that the rain was too heavy, which was really not conducive to the march.
Zhang Han wiped the rain from his face and asked, "Is there a place to shelter from the rain near here?" ”
The general scratched his head and said, "Unless we go up to Mangdang Mountain, there is nowhere else to shelter from the rain." ”
Zhang Han shook his head, this kind of rain going up the mountain is definitely looking for death, Zhang Han doesn't dare to bring his four thousand troops to death.
"General, look, there is a big camp in front, which is the camp built by General Li Qing."
Just when Zhang Han didn't know what to do, a Qin soldier suddenly pointed ahead and said.
When Zhang Han heard this, he looked closely, and sure enough, in the rain and fog, a big camp loomed, and at the big camp, a big banner of Xuanniao fluttered in the wind, which was Li Qing's vanguard banner.
Zhang Hanqi said: "The heavy rain suddenly came, how did Li Qing set up camp in advance? ”
All the generals of the Qin army shook their heads and said that they did not understand, according to the time, it was still early before the time to set up camp at this time, under normal circumstances, now Li Qing should take his army to prepare to camp twenty miles ahead.
Zhang Han touched the beard on his chin and said: "I heard that there are masters in the world who can know the changes of the wind and clouds and predict the good and bad through the heavenly phenomena, isn't this Li Qing such a master?" ”
All the generals didn't believe it, and at this moment, a lieutenant smiled and said, "Why, we will know when we enter the camp." ”
When Zhang Han heard this, he smiled and said: "Yes, yes, tell the soldiers to hurry up and hurry, and we will enter the camp to take shelter from the rain." ”
Zhang Han led the Qin army to advance in the rain, and soon arrived at Li Qing's camp.
Looking at the well-arranged camp, Zhang Han's face was even more surprised, it was obvious that this camp was not built in a hurry, that is to say, Li Qing had already set up the camp in advance when there was no sign of heavy rain.
"This Li Qing is indeed a strange person, and the camp he built is extremely methodical, it should be passed down by the soldiers, it seems that in the future, I will have another general."
Zhang Han looked at Li Qing, who came to greet him, and a smile appeared on his face.
