"What? Is it really Qin Jun? The leader of Lou Fu, Huyan White Fox, was shocked. The Qin army is not as weak as the steppe tribes, and they will not come forward to fight in close combat at all, and they will always call the enemy with crossbow arrows. If the Qin army surrounded the camp, then they could only break through and rush out to fight to the death.

"Yes, I saw Qiu Linye's daughter standing with the generals of the Qin army, she must have brought the Qin army to kill. Let's run. Lin Xiong, the general of the Lin Hu tribe, replied in a firm manner.

"Well...... All right. "Huyan White Fox, the leader of Lou Fu, was still grateful to Qin Guo for helping him a lot just now, and instantly began to curse the people of Qin Guo for being too unrighteous! Let Lao Tzu enjoy the fruits of victory in the next few days! Grab peaches, don't bring such a hot one!

Lin Xiong, the general of the Linhu tribe, saw that the leader of the Lou Fu tribe, Huyan White Fox, lowered his vigilance, and the nearby Lou Fu guards also began to pack up, so he knew that the time was ripe.

Lin Xiong, the general of the Linhu tribe, quietly made a gesture, and the nearby Linhu people and the disguised Qin army dead soldiers slowly approached.

"What are you doing? What do you do when you get so close? After all, Huyan White Fox, the leader of Lou Fu, is cunning and cunning, and his vigilance has always been very high, and when he found a few unfamiliar Lin Hu people approaching him, he immediately shouted.

"We, King Qin, greet you, go and die! Hu Dog! "The nearest Qin soldier killed him without hesitation.

Lou Furen was caught off guard, so that three or five Qin army dead soldiers blocked the way of Huyan White Fox, the leader of Lou Fu. The old fox on the grassland didn't struggle a few times before he was stabbed by several bronze short blades and fell to the ground and died.

Lin Hu people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this: It's finally done!

Lin Xiong, the general of the Linhu tribe, personally came to report the news, of course, not to betray the Qin army, but to get the letter from Huyan White Fox, the leader of the Lou Fu, so that he could get close to him. As soon as he saw the assassination of Huyan Baihu, the leader of Loufu, he immediately shouted: "The leader is dead, the Qin people have come in, everyone is running away." ”

The nearby building annoyance was already frightened and didn't react at all.

At this time, the dead soldiers of the Qin army cut off the head of the annoying leader Huyan White Fox, and regardless of the blood, he waved his head and shouted: "Chief Hu is dead, and those who descend will not be killed!" ”

The surrounding grasslands also sounded in due course.

"Chief Hu is dead, and those who descend will not be killed!"

"Chief Hu is dead, and those who descend will not be killed!"

"Chief Hu is dead, and those who descend will not be killed!" ……

The angry guards didn't care about the shouts and killings around them, and rushed forward one after another, wanting to kill the dead soldiers of the Qin army and recapture the leader's head.

But more of the annoyance was to abandon their belongings, livestock, and clansmen, and to flee for their lives on horses beside them.

Lin Xiong, the general of the Linhu tribe, naturally wouldn't watch all the dead soldiers of the Qin army die, because in this case, he really couldn't explain to Meng Yi and other Qin army soldiers! The Linhu people will have to rely on the Qin people to survive in the future.

As a result, hundreds of people in the middle of the camp fell into a scuffle, and these people were fighting to the death, in stark contrast to the fleeing crowd around them!

It was dawn, and the camp was in shambles.

The Qin army suffered light casualties, except for the eight dead soldiers who died in the battle, and the hundreds of Qin troops who were shot to death by the Lou Fu who broke through in the chaos, and the Qin army that was wounded in the end was only 200 people, and they were basically slightly wounded.

Only 500 people were killed in the battle, and they also included the wounded and captured, why were they included in the battle death list?

Because the Lin Hu people are eager to take revenge on Lou Annoying, because the Qin army is eager for the enemy's cavalry head to recount the merits!

The Qin army longed for a human head, and was overjoyed when he heard the battle!

Qin law stipulates that only those who obey discipline in the army, fight bravely, and make military exploits can be knighted. And what does it mean to be a meritorious battle? The Qin Law made very detailed and specific provisions on this. For example, a soldier of the Qin State was a civilian before joining the army and did not have any knighthood. After he joined the army, if he wanted to obtain the first-class knighthood "Gongshi", he needed to obtain a certificate to confer the title, that is, to go to the battlefield and cut off an enemy's head. When the results are counted after the war, he can use this head to qualify as a "public servant". And with the qualification of "public servant", you can get a field of land, a property and a servant. Of course, if he cut off more of the enemy's head, he could be awarded a higher or even several levels of knighthood when he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds after the war, and of course he would receive more rewards.

Not only that, but the Qin State also set strict boundaries between the titles and ranks, and the treatment enjoyed by each level of the title can be said to be very different. Take the salary of a soldier as an example, the salary of the first class "non-public" is 50 stone corn per year. "Stone" was the unit of measurement in Qin at that time, and 120 catties were one stone. 50 stone is equivalent to 6,000 catties today. It is difficult to imagine that a soldier can get 6,000 catties of food every year. On the one hand, this shows that the Qin State has made a bloody effort to let the soldiers have the courage to go into battle to kill the enemy, and on the other hand, it also reflects that the Qin State has too much food. Otherwise, where would you get so much food to pay the soldiers? Moreover, this is still the salary of the first-class lord "duke", and the second-class duke is built, and the Yulu gets 50 stone more than the duke, which is 100 stone corn per year; The third-class hairpin is 150 stone per year...... For each higher level of the title, the amount of money that can be obtained every year will be 50 stones, and so on, to the highest level of the twentieth level "Che Hou", the salary that can be obtained every year is as high as 1,000 stone corn, that is, 120,000 catties!

The salaries of different titles are different, and the corresponding supporting benefits are also very different. This is prominently manifested in the distribution of land and real estate. As we said earlier, a soldier who cuts off an enemy's head and comes back will receive the lowest "duke" knighthood, and he can get a hectare of land and a house. And the higher the title, the more land you get, and the bigger the homestead. As for the house, like the field, it is also increased according to the rank of the knighthood.

Titles are not only directly linked to material interests, but also closely related to people's status. One of the most obvious examples is food in the military. When marching and fighting, every time there is a group to eat, people with different titles eat different things. The higher the title, the better the food: the second-class lord's "Shangzao" eats only coarse rice, while the third-class hairpin has a bucket of polished rice, half a liter of soy sauce and a plate of vegetable soup. It is conceivable that the higher titles of Shangzao and Zuo are definitely fish and meat when eating, and there are delicacies from the mountains and seas.

In order to gain dignity, in order not to be looked down upon by others, and in order to improve their image and status, the Qin people must be full of fanatical yearning for the title. Although most people will not be able to reach the status and rank of "qing" and "marquis" in their lifetime, the high rewards still continue to stimulate them to do their best to pursue a higher level of knighthood. At the very least, there's hope for everyone, as long as you bring the enemy's head in.

Last night, there was not much loss of cattle, sheep and horses, and only 500 of the Loufu cavalry were killed, and only nearly 10,000 old and young women and children were captured.

Because the grassland is too big, and Lou Annoying is close to Yinshan to camp, Lou Annoying with horses quickly whips his horse, and after escaping from the camp, he will disappear without a trace. And the young men who had no horses simply went into the vast mountains.

"Eight of the dead soldiers you were responsible for assassinating the leader of Lou Fu, Huyan White Fox, were dead, and two were seriously injured." Lin Xiong, the general of the Linhu tribe, came over a little embarrassed to report, "The guards of Lou Fu are not afraid of death and your dead soldiers, fighting to the death, we Linhu people sacrificed their lives to save each other, and only two people were saved." It's not like we don't help. ”

"Got it. Since they have taken on this task, they will expect this outcome. Two of them survived, and that was already an eye-opener. Of course, it is inseparable from the help of your Linhu people, thank you very much! Qin welcomes you to join! Meng Yi also expressed his attitude in a timely manner, so as not to let the Lin Hu people think wildly.

"Okay, they're all seven-foot men, since we agreed to join us, we will never go back!" Lin Xiong, the general of the Linhu tribe, finally put his mind at ease and said boldly.

On the way back, Hu Yue was very distressed about the 100,000 cattle and sheep that were discarded.

"Hun reinforcements will arrive soon. Anyway, if you can't bring it back, you can't kill it all in one go. If the grassland people don't have enough cattle and sheep to survive, they will take risks and attack the Qin State again. Meng Yi explained.

"Maybe the Huns won't send reinforcements at all. That's nearly 100,000 head of cattle and sheep. Princess Lin Hu Yue was very unwilling and stubbornly retorted.

"100,000 heads of cattle and sheep have to travel thousands of miles, and it will take at least half a month to drive back to Qin. Are you a prairie man? Meng Yi rolled his eyes with a look of contempt, which made Princess Lin Hu Hu very dissatisfied.

Seeing that Princess Linhu Hu Yue still wanted to argue, Meng Yi simply showed no mercy and fought back ruthlessly: "Even if the Xiongnu don't send reinforcements, what about the other nomadic tribes?" Can we watch us transport 100,000 cattle and sheep back to Qin? The grassland people can gather nearly 100,000 cavalry at any time, and when the time comes, our Qin army will be beaten everywhere and will not be attacked all the time, how can we return to the Qin State safely? ”

Princess Lin Hu wanted to refute, but her words were blocked for a while.

"Since I came out with tens of thousands of cavalry, I will be responsible for bringing most of the people back. This is the basic criterion for the generals. Meng Yi said in a tone that was not the least unquestioning.

Princess Lin Hu Hu changed the topic a little unwillingly, "Why did you let go of the tens of thousands of old and weak women and children who were annoying in Lou, speaking of which, Lou annoying people also harmed a lot of ordinary people in the Qin State." ”

"If we kill tens of thousands of old and weak women and children of the Loufu tribe, how can those Loufu cavalry give up? Besides, killing is not the goal, and killing without meaning is shameful. Take 10,000 steps back, killing innocents in vain also hurts the peace of heaven! Meng Yi analyzed very calmly, "What's more, most of the horses in Lou Annoying have been snatched away by us, and if they want to recover their strength, they must honestly cultivate for a few years." A few years of silence on the northern border is also a great thing. ”

Princess Lin Hu's eyes flickered, and she looked at Meng Yi thoughtfully, as if she wanted to see through the man in front of her.
