The desert of the moon is the most beautiful time of the year, and it is an indescribable pleasant thing to face the endless green and refreshing wild wind, "It's so peaceful!" "On the canyon overlooking the vast earth, a young man in white led a horse and stopped, feeling the wild wind

Qingyan, beside him was a big man riding on the back of a tiger, sitting cross-legged on the ground, wiping the weapon in his hand.

The white-clothed young man with a white horse and a saber at his waist leisurely looked at the goshawk passing by in the sky. In his early twenties, he did not have outstanding looks, but his clear and clear eyes gave people a sense of trustworthiness.

"In such a vast plain, if there is no cavalry to cooperate, it seems to be a little difficult to completely annihilate the enemy with an infantry army!" The young man in white began to talk to himself, but the content of his speech was completely incompatible with the calm scenery around him.

"Yongzeng, how do you think we should fight this battle if we face those horse thieves?" The young man in white suddenly looked at the big man who was focused on wiping his weapons, wanting to get useful advice from this companion known as the Southern Soldier Martial God.

"It's just a rabble, directly assault their own formation, kill their leader, and let them surrender without a fight." The great man, known as Yongzeng, put the wiped hook halberd and double-edged spear into the scabbard beside him, and stood up, nine feet tall, covered in tendons

The flesh is abrupt, if it weren't for that somewhat ordinary face, the whole person would be no different from the legendary demon god.

"You still like this kind of direct means, lack of change!" The young man in white shook his head and sighed, this companion of his was extremely powerful. and the talent of commanding soldiers.,But he prefers to use a tough and simple battle formation against the enemy.。

"If the enemy is stronger than me. It's not in vain that I use any means, it's better to concentrate my forces, directly assault the main formation, and kill the enemy's leader. Dahan glanced at his elegant companion and said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for my opponent." Why should I bother to kill directly

The past is not over. ”

Listening to the words of the big man, the young man in white didn't know how to refute, in the past martial arts exercises, the companions in front of him could always use the most simple and direct way to defeat their own army, but when it came to the battlefield, he was not his opponent.

"Alright, it's time to go back." Regardless of the white-clothed young man who was there looking down and thinking, the big man suddenly let out a long roar. Soon, a tall scarlet horse galloped in from a distance. But in an instant, he arrived at the bottom of the big man's door and rubbed him affectionately.

"Let me think about it." The young man in white also got on his horse, but he was obviously still thinking about how to crack the thunderous central assault of his companion, and he muttered to himself as he sat in the saddle. Then he kept vetoing what he had said.

The big man rode on the back of his beloved horse Zhulongdi, looked at his companion who had made an old mistake again, shook his head, and rode his horse towards the marching party not far away.

"Wait for me!" Hearing the sudden sound of horses' hooves, the young man in white came back from his contemplation, looked at his companions who were far away, shouted, and hurried over on his horse.

The black torrent marched on the simply built straight road, and 10,000 heavy infantry from the Jinling Metropolitan Protectorate rode Yizhou horses, which were good at carrying heavy loads. Guarding the baggage team that set off from Wanzhou, they marched towards Hongyun Mountain not far away.

The Great Qin Legion that dominates the world. Its light and heavy infantry has always been recruited from the south, such as Huiji, Wuyue, and Danyang people's martial arts, which have always been the places where elite soldiers go, and now this heavy infantry is the main force of these local soldiers.

Looking at the black legion passing in front of them, the tribal soldiers who oversaw the work were dumbfounded, unlike the dragoons I saw some time ago, the ground soldiers in this army looked even more fierce. They certainly don't understand that to become can be hard

The heavy cavalry charged the heavy infantry head-on, and the training was almost beyond human capacity.

Outside Hongyun Mountain, the dragoon army led by Li Ang rushed back to the newly built 'Xingqin' city before the arrival of the 10,000 heavy infantry of the Jinling Metropolitan Protectorate.

In fact, the battle in this month, for Li Ang, there is no real gain, except for his personal martial arts in the spear and sword skills have become more proficient, he has seen for the first time the slaughter of the backward army by the powerful cold weapon army, as long as he can

Enough to ensure logistics, Li Ang believed that in the vicinity of Great Qin, no force could compete with Great Qin.

"Logistics is the only weakness of Daqin." Li Ang now understood why those military nobles were so keen on the hegemony and vassals of Great Qin outside, as long as there were these places as places to hoard weapons and grain and grass, then the Great Qin army would not be able to fight outside

Defeated, like some hegemonic empire in his previous world.

"Eating Hezhong in an all-round way, I'm afraid it's for the sake of hegemony in the future." Li Ang thought in his heart, and he had a new understanding of the huge war plan of the military hall, "Maybe I should also make some preparations." ”

Li Ang has always thought that he is a calm person, but when he thinks of the huge war in the future, he still has the idea of fully participating in his heart, which has nothing to do with the meaningless reason of leaving a name in history, he just wants to witness this hegemonic war with his own eyes.

"What do you think?" Seeing that Li Ang was silent suddenly, Ma Jun couldn't help frowning, and continued, "You shouldn't be worrying about my little sister's affairs, right?" ”

Listening to Ma Jun's somewhat joking words, Li Ang raised his head, looked at him and replied, "It's you who will have a headache, and when the time comes, your sister will cry, make trouble, and hang herself, anyway, she won't do my business." ”

Listening to Li Ang's words, Ma Jun was stunned, of course he understood that Li Ang was not joking, but serious. "I said that you are so afraid of your wife, it's a big deal that my sister will be your concubine." Ma Jun still did not give up.

"I don't know what point I'm so good that I deserve to be like this?" Li Ang stared at Ma Jun with a calm gaze, "Don't act anymore, do you want to make us even friends?" ”

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Ma Jun grabbed his hair, then spread his hands and said, "My father asked me to do this kind of thing, and I was really forced to do it, but how can you see it." ”

"With your temper. How could he let his sister be a concubine. Li Ang glanced at Ma Jun and shook his head. What's more, if you have nothing to do, you are either a traitor or a thief, and you will know that you have a problem if you think about it with a little brain? ”

On the other hand, it was my father who felt that everyone had become relatives, and everything was easy to say once Li Ang saw through it. Ma Jun simply said it all frankly, "Our family has always been the smallest of the three direct branches of the Ma family, and the children of the family used to serve in the Western Army

I can barely maintain the face of my ancestors, but since the emperor reduced the armament thirty years ago, our family has become weaker and weaker, if it weren't for someone's help, I killed someone in Dunhuang at the beginning, it would not be as simple as a sentence of exile to the border. ”

"Don't you have the other two branches of the Ma clan to help you?" Li Ang looked at Ma Jun, who had a little bitterness on his face. He frowned and said, as far as he knew. A family that enshrines an ancestral ancestral hall usually watches over and helps each other.

"Help is help, but it's also very limited." Ma Jun smiled bitterly, "It is clearly written in the ancestral hall law that as a direct line, you have the qualifications to inherit the title of the first generation of ancestors. Do you think the other two might really help us, they don't come to take the opportunity to step on us,

It's fun enough to squeeze us out of our immediate line. ”

"I have been taken care of by the Governor of Dorlu for the past few years, and he is still looking at my great-grandfather's land." Ma Jun said about his promotion in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate in recent years, "I am now a thousand households that are the favor of the Governor of Lu Dadu to return my great-ancestor, let me come to you this time, that is."

Give me a chance to make meritorious contributions. ”

"Your father thinks I can help you." Leon already understood what Ma Jun meant, and their family needed a person or family who could help them, an ally who could make them a comeback.

"It was Governor Lu who told my father. Your Majesty and the Chief Commander value you very much, so you might as well go with you..."Ma Jun did not say any more. There was a little shame on his face.

"Why do you have to hide it from me?" Li Ang looked at Ma Jun and suddenly sighed, "You are my friend, but I will definitely help you if I do what I can, don't do this again in the future." ”

"How do you want me to help your family?" Li Ang asked, Ma Jun's family is not a help to him, but it can't touch the interests of the other two families too much.

"We just want to keep our direct position, and now I am the only one with the highest military rank among the children of my generation." Ma Jun replied, "We just want to know from you the troops that the military hall will send in advance in the future foreign wars, after all, whoever goes to the battlefield first can do it later."

The greater the merit. ”

"It shouldn't be that hard, right?" Li Ang was a little puzzled by what Ma Jun proposed, and in his opinion, the help that the Ma family asked him to help seemed too simple.

"How can it not be difficult." Ma Jun glanced at Li Ang, and then explained, "Every time the military hall makes a comprehensive plan, it is very secretive about the real movement of troops, and it will not be announced until the battle is about to start, even if you want to transfer people to the war department

The team is too late. ”

"The military hall just wants to prevent the major families from sending their children into the main battlefield troops, so as not to suddenly rely on military exploits to rise up." Ma Jun said, "We, the military and martial arts families, are supported by our military exploits, and if there is no war, there will be no war merits."

After three generations, the imperial dynasty will take back the preferential treatment given to us. ”

"Well, if I knew the deployment of the military hall to the main attack army in the river, I would definitely tell you as soon as possible." Li Ang nodded and agreed, what Ma Jun asked him to do was not too difficult, but he didn't know if he would be able to get the military hall at that time

Plans for the deployment of military forces in the river.

"If you just say yes." Ma Jun smiled, in fact, he still cared more about his friendship with Li Ang, he was just suspicious of Governor Lu's words, he didn't think that Li Ang could get those military deployment plans.

The dragoons entered the city of 'Xingqin' and began to prepare, and at the same time they had to prepare for the funeral of the dead robes, and in Daqin, after the soldiers who died in the war were cremated, the ashes would be divided into three parts, one for the family, one for the Qin Mausoleum in Jerusalem, the dragon city, and the other

The share was sent to the Taimiao. It has been worshiped by descendants for generations, and its military soul will also protect Daqin forever.

In the evening, under the auspices of the officers, the cremation began, and the soldiers who died in battle were neatly laid out on a wooden platform, and their bodies slowly turned to ashes in the lit fire to the sound of the sacrifices of the robes before death.

"The fire is raging, and the body is burning. The souls of the fierce army all return to the sky. Bless me Daqin, the soul will return! "The soldiers of the Dragoons sang this song of conjuring spirits with tears in their eyes, escorting their robes into the heavens, turning into the heavens and stars, watching them forever and protecting them

Invincible.

Li Ang also chanted along with those soldiers, although he did not believe in ghosts and gods, but he was willing to believe that those dead soldiers, after death, have spirits, will continue to protect their country, for the Taizu Emperor who injected this almost religious belief into the army, Li Ang

I don't know how to evaluate it, in such ancient times, this belief in dying in battle and ascending to heaven to become a god can maximize the sacrifice of soldiers to do war, and the ashes after the burial, buried in the Qin Tomb and Taimiao, can be worshiped by future generations, which makes those soldiers who died in battle

's family felt that such a war death was worth it and honorable.

Thinking of the era he once had, Li Ang suddenly felt that the status of the soldiers at that time was not as good as now, and every year in the spring and autumn festivals, the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials had to worship those military souls.

The soldiers who shed their blood to defend the country will always have a higher status than those literati, this is what Emperor Taizu said when facing Confucianism.

Literati, you can't kill the enemy when you get off the horse, you can't govern the country when you get off the horse, what's the use of doing first-hand articles. This is the words of Emperor Taizu to his descendants since the founding of the Great Qin, so in the one hundred and fifty years of later generations, the successive emperors of Great Qin have never raised the status of literati, and

The nobles of the family are proud of martial arts, and the people are still martial, even if Confucianism has been in power for thirty years, it was still knocked down all of a sudden, for the people of Daqin, literati and soldiers, without the former, this country will not become much worse, without soldiers, this country

There is a danger of destruction.

When the fire gradually went out, the robes of the soldiers who died in the battle were carefully packed into the urns and safeguarded.

After the funeral is completed, it is a feast to celebrate the achievement, for the soldiers of Daqin, their robes go to the heavens, and they will start the feast when their souls have not all ascended to the heavens, and celebrate with them

The reality of the victory.
