Chapter Seventy-Six: Under the City

"But the ginger is gone?" After the siege, Chen Ying was short of materials, and the first one to be short was Jiang. It is cold in the middle of the night in the city, and if the county magistrate who can't drink alcohol has a bowl of hot, oily ginger soup, it is the best enjoyment in the world. However, ginger was not listed as an important military material, and there were not many of them, so they could only be collected by families in the city.

"Your Majesty, Doctor Yin said that ginger should be left to the patient." Chang Jiang replied in a low voice. Drinking a bowl of ginger soup with a cold, putting an ice towel on the forehead, and finally covering the quilt and charcoal fire to suffocate sweat, such a soil rule has cured many people. When the news came out, the soldiers respected Xiong Jing like a god.

"It's a pity there are no more gingers!" Xiong Jing was a little regretful, before everyone thought of corn, artillery shells, arrows, armor, no one thought of cold clothes and typhoid medicine, but the queen mother specially packed a boat of things for him, half of which were cold clothes, more meat and palace snacks, and finally some of them were all kinds of strange medicines.

It was the mother's idea to marry Qi Qian into the Qin Kingdom, and only the queen mother dared to do such a thing, Xiong Jing wanted to blame her, but she couldn't blame her at all. Most people thought that the Qin State could sue for peace, or marry a daughter, or cut the land, or become a vassal, but he knew in his heart that against the Qin State, it was useless to seek peace, and he could only kill peace. Eleven years ago, Xinling Junhe defeated Qin, and Qin did not dare to come out of the Hangu Pass, only to rebel and plan to divide the King of Wei and Xinlingjun, and finally wait for Xinling Jun to die of illness before he dared to go out of the customs to fight.

Is the Qin State heroic? Not at all!

Of course, for the villain, this is an excellent manifestation of the cunning of the soldiers, but for the nobles, it is an absolutely unbearable insult to dignity.

Faith is useless against villains, they can only understand killing.

Xiong Jingdu stepped forward, thinking about the difference between the villain and the nobleman. Once upon a time, he was also a villain, but now he is the king of Chu. This personality change gave him one of the most precious and incomparable realizations, that is, the reason why people lie, why they use tricks, why they are black, and why they are shameless, is because they are not brave enough.

"I've seen the king." Xiong Jing slowly walked to the Beicheng Tower, and the guard general Chen Bu came up with a cadre of troops to salute.

"How was last night?" Chen Bu's face was full of sleepiness, and Xiong Jing's gaze fell on the bandage on his arm after asking.

"Last night, the Qin army attacked the city, and they were all driven down by the ministers." Chen Bu said, and after he finished speaking, he patted the ring piece on his body and laughed. "With this treasure armor, a hundred soldiers are not going to do it. When Qin saw this armor, he scattered in all directions. ”

The last batch of boats transported more than 3,000 sets of giant iron ring armor, which was all the inventory of Zaofu. 1,000 sets were also allocated on the Ju Iron Ring Piece A City, 500 sets each in the North City and West City, basically achieving the standard of five steps and one class. The Qin army is holding a bronze soldier, not to mention hurting people, even if it is impossible to leave a mark on the bright armor, this is much more useful than the hundred soldiers Mo Xiang Fu, so the soldier tube ring piece is called the hundred soldiers Mo Xiang Jia.

"It was not the armor that repelled the Qin army, but the bravery of the generals." Xiong Jing corrected Chen Bu's words, and this sentence made the military leaders behind Chen Bu stand solemn. He looked at Chen Yingyu Sergeant Lan Zhong again: "Can there be a brave person who recommends him as an honorary man?" ”

The first batch of honorable soldiers only need to be listed in the first three rows of the military formation, and then the conditions become stricter in vain, and the honorable soldiers who become honorable soldiers not only have to fight in the front row, but also fight together to nominate two honorable soldiers, and the three honorable soldiers can only be recommended if they are recognized. If it is a common person, it is necessary to investigate whether the previous words and deeds are faithful, and in the end, those who meet these conditions are still not quasi-honorary soldiers, and they still need to enter the military academy for three years to study, and they are honored scholars after graduation.

Yushi was completely cultivated according to aristocratic standards, not the stupid and ignorant samurai of later generations of Japanese who could not eat. They do kill people and don't die, but they will be punished by the county and even the Yingdu Honorary Priest for indiscriminate killing. Even if they don't kill people indiscriminately, any words and deeds that violate the rules of honor will still make them pay the price.

They are much like the Western Zhou feudal nobles who were bound by the rules of etiquette hundreds of years ago, or the medieval church knights a thousand years laterβ€”the three years of military academy will allow each of them to learn horsemanship, and the first heavy cavalry unit of the Chu State will be selected from among them; The study of the military academy will also make them become a devout disciple of Taiyi, believing that after dying in battle, their souls will float to the Langji Wonderland and live forever.

"Tell the king, the recommendations are not all ......" After every battle, Xiong Jing would ask if there were any honorable people to recommend, but it was still early in the morning, and some of the recommendations had not yet been reported.

"Don't let anyone be left out, otherwise it will chill the fighting spirit of the whole army." Xiong Jing instructed, "Do not neglect any one to damage the honor of all the honorees." ”

"Respectfully obey the order!" Lan Zhonggao snorted, he knew very well what the standard was, and the other honorables were also very clear.

"Kill King Jing and worship the Marquis! Kill King Jing and worship the Marquis......" As he spoke, the shouts of the Qin soldiers came from under the city. Although they were separated by more than four hundred steps, the north wind still blew their voices very clearly, and Chen Bu said after seeing this: "The king's banner has been seen by the Qin people. ”

Last night, the Qin and Wei armies attacked the city, most of the Qu Da who blocked the arrows on the female wall were destroyed, and the Qu Da went, the banner was naturally seen by the Wei people and Qin people under the city, the King of Wei never ordered to 'kill the King of Jing and worship the Marquis', and the Qin army had the king order of 'Kill the King of Jing and worship the Marquis' last year.

"Why are the soldiers shouting?" In the Qin army shogunate, Xin Wu, who was discussing the military situation, heard a shout and asked each other uneasily.

"General, King Jing is now on the top of the North City Tower, and the soldiers are full of applause when they see it." Someone outside the account came to report.

"Oh?" Xin Wu stroked his beard and said: "Quickly order the whole army to go out of the camp and line up." ”

The soldiers in the Qin camp under the city just shouted, but they didn't expect the Qin camp to beat the drums after a while. The faces of Chen Bu's generals and servants changed instantly. "The Qin army is attacking the city, please go down to the city!" Chen Buyi said, and the general behind him also said: "Please go down to the city." ”

When they were like this, Chang Jiang, whose face was like earth, also said, "Please go down to the city, the king." ”

"Ridiculous!" Xiong Jing flicked his sleeves, not only did he not go down to the city, but walked dozens of steps away from the front building of the urn city, standing at the vacancy of the canal and looking at the Qin army under the city.

The frost-covered land was littered with corpses of the Qin people, trampled on scattered military flags, ugly corridors, broken ladder trucks, and traces of fire and iron bullets. Four hundred steps away is the fence of the Qin army to prevent the night attack of the Chu army, and countless flags are planted on the fence to cover the military camp in the fence, but standing on the city wall, you can ignore those military flags, and the huge Qin camp can be seen at a glance.

As seen last year on the north bank of Qingshui, the center of the barracks is the Qin army shogunate fluttering a huge banner, the chariot with the feather hanging is already waiting outside the mansion, and a man with a crown and scales is surrounded by the generals to board the chariot, and the chariot drives into the torrent formed by the Qin soldiers out of the camp, and slowly travels to 350 steps below the city.

"King, the Qin army is about to attack the city, please stand back." Chen Bu said again, his face more anxious.

In the continuous sound of drums, more than 100,000 Qin soldiers gradually lined up into a military formation almost as wide as the northern city wall and fifty or sixty rows thick. The banners in the military formation are like clouds, and the long soldiers are like forests, so that it is difficult to see the chariots behind the formation. Stimulated by this, the drums at the head of the city were also vigorously beaten, and all the 10,000 county soldiers boarded the city, and the remaining 40,000 soldiers hurriedly lined up in a spear formation in the order of the military commander, ready to go out of the city to attack.

"Do you see that the Qin army looks like a siege?" Xiong Jing smiled and pointed to the Qin army under the city.

"King Yu, Sima, this Qin army's plan is also." An army leader said, "When the city was attacked last year, the Qin army lined up in ......."

It was still too late to remind the military rate, and with the wave of the banner on the Xinwu Rong car under the city, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops shouted: "Will King Jing surrender?" Will King Jing descend or not? King Jing will not descend ......"

The desperate shouts of more than 100,000 people have already shaken the ground, and these Qin soldiers are shouting and stomping their feet and waving flags, such a scene of agitation and deterrence, Xiong Jing must have been scared and cried if he was a young boy.

"The king, this Qin people's war is also here, please go down to the city." Lian Po hurriedly came up, he was worried that Xiong Jing was scared, and hurriedly explained.

"It's not worth it." Xiong Jing's expression was natural, and he didn't mean to be scared at all.

"The king can order the crossbow to shoot back the enemy." is still the previous military leader, Chengyang used a crossbow to shoot back the Qin army at that time.

"Why bother." The Qin army was far away from the range of the crossbow, Xiong Jing turned his head to look at the temple man beside him, and said, "Kneel." ”

The temple people are stepping on the footstool, and as soon as they knelt down, Xiong Jing stepped on it, and then stood on the female wall in the stunned eyes of everyone.

"King!" The female wall is more than five zhang high, and if you fall down, you will definitely die, and when you see the king standing on the female wall, she is as calm as Lian Po and her color changes.

"I've got my own measure." Xiong Jing, who was standing on the female wall, didn't care, and Chang Jiang hurriedly grabbed his strap hook from behind. And under the city, a pawn dressed in red, with no crown on his head, and no guard, suddenly stood on the female wall, which immediately attracted Xin Wu's attention.

"But King Jing?" Before he raised the Lu Lijing imitated by Shaofu, Xin Wu had already guessed that this person might be King Jing. It was not an ordinary red suit, it was a Wei Ben suit that only a king could wear, and only Wei Yi would be so dazzling and dazzling; No crown is right, how can a child be crowned, he must be drooping.

"General Yu, it's King Jing!" Wang Ben shouted, he and his father had seen King Jing outside the city that day, and the person in the vague Lu Li mirror was undoubtedly King Jing.

"Why did King Jing ......," Xin Wu asked again. He gathered his soldiers to frighten King Jing, and the will of the king determined the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and it would be great if he could scare King Jing and make him abandon the city and flee.

"General Yu, King Jing ......" Wang Ben stood in another car, and he was only halfway through his words, so he jumped out of the car and handed Lu Lijing to Xin Wu. Xin Wu also raised his Lu Lijing at this time, although his vision was very unclear, but he still saw a thin and bright water column spewing out from King Jing's crotch, and the water column fell from the five-zhang high city, blown by the north wind, and the rainbow-like seven colors flashed under the rising sun.
