Chapter 41: The Battle Song Cantata

"It's a trivial matter, as long as you can win, what is the price? The old general relaxes, and with the old man's guarantee, there will be no incident. Qin Xiang Lu Buwei didn't care, and by the way, he sold a favor.

"Since the coalition forces are sleepy and short of horses, should our army find an opportunity to attack?" As the new leader of the Wang family, Wang Jian is even more eager to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, so that the status of the Wang family can continue to be stable.

"Of course, but we can't rush in, after all, the coalition forces are outnumbered, and there is still a certain danger." The old general said hurriedly, for fear that Qin Xiang Lu Buwei would be impulsive.

"Well, I also feel that I will delay some more time to find out the reality of the coalition forces, and by the way, I will further exhaust and consume the enemy's strength." Qin Xiang Lu Buwei was originally excited, but at this time, he also calmed down and made a very wise decision.

At this time, Meng Yi's two brothers and sisters finally arrived at Hangu Pass. Hangu Pass is one of the important military passages in ancient times, because it is in a dangerous place, according to the plateau in the west, bordering the absolute stream in the east, connecting the Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Yellow River in the north, because it is located in the canyon, it is as dangerous as the letter and gets the name "Hangu Pass". During the Warring States Period, Wei occupied the Hangu Pass and locked Qin, and Qin occupied the Hangu Pass and went out of Shandong. The joint attack on Qin by the Six Nations was also based on Hangu Pass.

However, they did not rest for two days before they were transferred back to the front line by Lü Buwei, the commander of the Qin army in Yucheng. The two Meng Yi brothers could only take hundreds of elite cavalry and make a detour through Hanzhong to return to the front line.

"I still haven't heard of such a strange war, don't the five-nation coalition forces know the truth of 'one drum, then decline, and three exhaustion'?" After Meng Tian heard that there was no war in Yucheng, he was puzzled.

"The six countries each have their own ghosts: Qi is absent, Yan Chu is afraid that the Three Jin Dynasty will become bigger, and at the same time is worried that Qi will collude with Qin and attack the rear of the five countries. Sanjin is really three countries with different interests of Zhao, Wei and Han, and they can still report to the group to keep warm at a critical moment, and they will dismantle each of them when the situation eases! Meng Yi has long been aware of this historical situation, and naturally understands the complexity of people's hearts.

"You can still live if you do evil in heaven, but you can't live if you do evil in yourself! The Six Nations are in danger! Great Qin will surely dominate the world! Meng Tian roared arrogantly.

Yucheng, the two armies have been facing each other for more than a month.

The two brothers Meng Yi also successfully returned to the front line, looking at the coalition camp that stretched for dozens of miles outside the city, and truly felt the strength of the Chinese nation.

As the saying goes: there are more than 1,000 soldiers, and there is no edge; There are more than 10,000 soldiers, and there is no along. 500,000 horses and horses are camped for 30 miles, banners are everywhere, swords are like forests, and it is a grand sight.

On this day, the coalition army did not attack the city as always, but continued to send people to invite battle, but this time Qin Prime Minister Lü Buwei agreed.

"The coalition army invited several times to fight, but they were all rejected by Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei. Why did you say yes so easily this time? Meng Tian asked puzzled.

"On the one hand, the enemy's spirit has dissipated a lot, and on the other hand, the enemy's occupation of the eastern part of Guanzhong has affected the farming of the people in Guanzhong this year." Meng Yi explained, while also lamenting that spectacular wars are often extremely tragic.

Each side sent 50,000 soldiers to fight fiercely, and agreed to send 5,000 cavalry, 10,000 chariots, and 35,000 infantry each.

The two sides first fired long-range weapons such as bows, crossbows, and catapults, and then hedged with chariots, and finally the infantry followed up in a fierce battle, while the cavalry only fired arrows or fought on the periphery. Arrows flew in the sky like a rain of arrows, and the hedgehog-dense spear troops on the ground swarmed up, and then fell one by one. The crowds of people on both sides collided together, and immediately rolled up a boundless blood wave! The two sides are on a five-mile-long front, you come and go, either you die or I live, and the battle situation is in a state of anxiety. The armies of the two sides were like the waves of the sea, one after another, the trampling of thousands of armies formed smoke and dust, and the frenzied shouts echoed everywhere.

The infantry at the front were the 3,000 Ruishi of Qin and the hoplites of Wei and Chu;

In order to show their resolve, the Qin army sent its most elite warriors against the hoplites of Wei and Chu.

The soldiers of the Qin State sang the war song "How can you say that there is no clothes":

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son!

The Qin State advocates black, so all elite troops are black as a whole, which looks solemn and mysterious.

"My Great Qin's battle song is high-pitched and solemn, like the gale in the northwest, with an unstoppable momentum." Meng Tian exclaimed.

"Our morale has recovered a lot, and it seems that the strategy of waiting for work is correct. The high-pitched singing voice is the best proof of this. Meng Yi also agreed, thinking: In ancient times, cold weapon warfare relied on morale, no matter how well equipped one side was, it would be difficult to win the battle if the morale was not high.

At this time, the soldiers of Wei were not to be outdone, and sang the war song "Shuo Rat":

Big rat big mouse, no food for me! Three-year-old Guan Ru, don't care about me. The dying woman is a paradise. Paradise and Paradise, I have what I have.

Rats and rats, no food for me! Three-year-old Guan Ru, Mo I Kende. The deceased woman is suitable for the country. Happy country, happy country, I am straight.

Rats and rats, no food for my seedlings! Three-year-old Guan Ru, Mo I am willing to work. The deceased woman is suitable for the suburbs. Le Jiao Le Jiao, who is the eternal number?

The Wei State advocates Tuhuang, so all elite troops are Tuhuang as a whole, which seems stable and steady.

"The songs of the Wei soldiers are full of resentment, just like the Qin army is really a giant rat that harms them with no gains, coupled with their fire-breathing eyes, there will definitely be a fierce battle." Meng Tian thought it was a little funny.

"The mourning soldiers will win, and if the warriors can't bear it, we will be responsible for responding." Meng Yi reminded.

"Is this possible? The Ruishi of the Qin State is invincible in the world! Meng Tian said unconvinced.

"How can there be a truly invincible army? The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and our army may suffer from unforeseen circumstances at any time. Otherwise, why would we confront the coalition forces now, just rush to the top. Meng Yi hurriedly struck, "The arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and the enemy must not be underestimated." ”

And the soldiers of Chu come from the south, which can sing and dance, and naturally like to sing, but the war song they sing is the poem "National Martyrdom" by the patriotic minister Qu Yuan:

Wu Gexi wearing rhino armor, and the car is wrong and short-handed. The sun covers the enemy like a cloud, and the arrows and fallen soldiers compete for the first.

Ling Yu staggered for the rest of his life, and his left side was injured and his right blade was injured. The haze is two rounds and four horses, and the jade is beating the drum.

The days are full of power and anger, and they are all killed and abandoned in the wilderness. Can't get in and out, and the plains are far away.

With a long sword, he carried the Qin bow, and his head was not punished. Cheng is both brave and martial, and he is strong and invincible.

The body is dead, the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is resolute. The body is dead, the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is resolute.

During the Warring States Period, he was born as a nobleman in the state of Chu, served as a doctor and a disciple of Sanlu, and was also in charge of internal and foreign affairs, but because he advocated reform and attacked Qin, he was repeatedly persecuted and exiled by traitors and faint monarchs. In 278 BC, the Qin general Bai Qi attacked the capital of Chu in one fell swoop. Qu Yuan, who was worried about the country and the people, committed suicide in Huaishi in the Miluo River, and the Dragon Boat Festival is said to be his death day. He wrote many immortal poems, became the founder of ancient Chinese romantic poetry, and created a new poetic genre based on Chu folk songs. The style of "Chu Ci" created by him is unique in Chinese history, and it is called "coquettish" together with the Book of Songs, which has had a positive impact on the creation of poetry in later generations.

The state of Chu advocates red, so all elite troops are red as a whole, and they appear warm and strong. The people of Chu consider themselves to be the descendants of the fire god Zhu Rong, and the Yan Emperor is also the descendant of the fire god, everyone is of the same clan, and the Chu country is located in the south, and the hot weather is as passionate and vigorous as red. In the end, because the Zhou Dynasty also admired red, the king of Chu established himself in the south, and also wanted to compete with the Zhou Dynasty to see who was more qualified to have red.

"The country of Chu has a vast territory and many tribes, maybe there are elite soldiers and good generals, so don't be careless." Meng Yi looked at the morale of the Chu army and thought: No wonder the Chu State is the most difficult country to fight, just this momentum of seeing death as home, it can be regarded as a strong army.

"Fortunately, the horses of the Chu State are southern horses, and they are not as good as our northern war horses, otherwise it will be our turn to suffer later." Meng Tian was very surprised to find that the cavalry of the Chu State was actually wearing iron armor.

"This should be the heavy cavalry of the Chu State, although there are not many of them, but they can be converted into infantry at any time. So we can't go toe. Meng Yi also secretly complained, thinking: I actually ran into a hard stubble!

The war songs of Zhao, Korea, and Yan were also resounded in the rear of the coalition forces, apparently to cheer up the army of the five-nation coalition army.

The war song sung by the soldiers of Zhao State is "Cricket":

The crickets are in the hall, and the years are gone. I am not happy today, the sun and the moon are gone. There is no great health, and the job is homeless. There is no waste of happiness, and the good man Qu Qu.

The crickets are in the hall, and the years are gone. I'm not happy today, the sun and the moon are moving forward. There is no great health, and there is no need to think about it. There is no waste of happiness, and good people are trampled.

The crickets are in the hall, and the service cars are resting. I am not happy today, the sun and the moon are sad. There is no way to be well-off. Thinking about it. There is no famine, and the good man rests.

Zhao Guo advocates white, so all elite troops are silver and white as a whole, which looks hearty and neat. The northern Rongdi also admired white, and the king of Zhao Wuling, Hu Fu, defeated the northern nomads with cavalry, so the people of Zhao thought that they were more qualified to have white, which was as strong as the white clouds, rain and snow that covered the heavens and the earth.

The war song sung by the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom is "Huang Li":

Su Su Rabbit Yi, Ding Ding of the Rafter. Takeshi, the prince of Gancheng.

Su Su Rabbit Yi, applied to Zhongkui. Martial arts, the prince is hateful.

Su Su Rabbit Yi, applied to the forest. Martial arts, the heart of the prince.

Yan Guo advocates blue, so all elite troops are dark blue as a whole, which looks majestic and atmospheric. Although the Yan State is the same sect as the Zhou Dynasty, it stands to reason that it should advocate red as much as the Zhou Dynasty, but the Yan people believe that the Zhou Dynasty is declining and perishing, and can only change its course in order to stand in troubled times, so it vigorously develops the water division and occupies most of the land in Liaodong. And the east of the Yan Kingdom is basically surrounded by the sea, so the Yan kings of the past dynasties have liked dark blue.

The war song sung by the Korean soldiers is "Shu Yutian":

Uncle Yutian, there is no one in the lane. Is there no dweller? It's not as good as uncle. Xun is beautiful and benevolent.

Uncle Yu hunting, no drinking in the alley. Isn't there any drinking? It's not as good as uncle. It's beautiful and good.

Uncle Shiye, no horses in the alley. Won't there be a horse? It's not as good as uncle. Xun is beautiful and martial.

South Korea advocates cyan, so all elite troops are overall green and appear peaceful and natural. South Korea is the weakest country among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and it is located in the land of the four wars, so it can only make good friends with other countries, so it often puts on a non-confrontational appearance.
