Chapter 57: Erecting a Monument
Thousands of human heads piled together can be described as spectacular, and Yun Yue is very strange. In my last life, when I watched movies and TV series, those perverted guys liked to use human heads to build pyramids. I don't know why, these killers under his own command actually built people's heads into a pyramid shape.
Vultures and crows in the sky flock to the sky, covering the sky despite the heavy snow and black pressure of goose feathers. It was as if under the dark clouds, another dark cloud had gathered. The sound of "quack" and "quack" could be heard for ten miles, and some of the brave ones had already fallen to the ground and started eating. The Qin soldiers didn't care about that, and they didn't care about other things when they cut off their heads with an axe.
He was very picky about joining the army, perhaps with the purpose of saving money for his relatives. The left one doesn't work, and the other one doesn't. In the end, he picked and chosen, and counted out five thousand three hundred and forty-one heads. Five huge pyramids of human heads were piled up in the camp, and the cooks cooked the meals. The killers took their rice bowls and ate while visiting, without the slightest sense of disobedience.
Yun Yue didn't have such a strong appetite, let alone such thick nerves. Who the hell can eat in front of a large number of heads, and from time to time they also evaluate their appearance. How good can it be to grin your teeth?
The scariest guy is the Iron Tower, this guy shoots down a few eagles at will. It doesn't matter whether these eagles have eaten people or not, they will be caught and then defeathered and roasted. I actually got a lot of bottles and cans out of my backpack, the red ones were peppers, and the white ones were fine salt. I rub it, and there is ...... tahini! Zheng Bin scurried around like a monkey, circling around the tower. Finally, an eagle was found, and two of the most beautiful tail feathers were inserted into the hat, showing off all over the world.
Since the fight to the battlefield. Ao Canghai followed Yunyue like a conjoined baby. After winning military merits, the whole barracks was jubilant, and military merits were money, land, titles, and glory. In Daqin, military merit means almost everything. More than 5,000 military merits. It's enough to make these Guanzhong men crazy with excitement.
During the Warring States period, the people were so poor that they were scumbag, and there were still two meals a day in many places. There are countless people who have not eaten enough since they were young, and although the Qin people are not poor, they can only be counted as scum.
According to the Qin system, as long as the soldiers of the Qin State captured the head of the enemy's "Jiashi" (officer), they could obtain the title of first-class knight (gongshi), a field of land, a house and a servant. The more heads you kill, the higher the title you get, and God knows how many small Hun officers there are in so many heads. Just look at the string of cards on the rope. There are a lot of big fish in this net.
There are the lowest wooden tiles, and there are domino tiles. When the bronze medals on both sides were hung out, the crowd finally boiled. God. That's the waist card of the enemy general. This time it's sent!
Yun Yue did not follow the soldiers to rejoice, he took Ao Canghai to walk to the wounded barracks, and Mr. Bian Que was taking several military doctors to bandage and treat the wounded soldiers.
Although this battle was a big victory, Yun Yue's team can be said to have won completely. But there are still casualties. More than 100 corpses lay on the ground. Look at the costumes are all front-line halberd soldiers. Occasionally, there were a few crossbowmen. According to Yun Yue's instructions, everyone was covered with a white cloth. The cloth was still a valuable item in those days, but Yun Yue insisted that the dead warrior deserved such a piece.
The vast majority of these Qin troops were shot by the Hun cavalry, and many of them still had arrows stuck in their bodies that did not come down. Someone had a hollow chest, apparently from blunt force injuries. It seems that he is playing against a Hun general, and when he sees a guy with a broken skull, Yun Yue feels the cruelty of war from his bones.
Blood and fire, chrysanthemum and knife. Flowers and glory have always been accompanied by slaughter and blood. They are twin brothers who complement each other and exist in this world.
The wails of the wounded soldiers came into Yun Yue's ears one after another, look at this and look at that. Bian Que was picking up an arrow for a soldier. Wolf's tooth arrows have barbs on them. The wound needs to be cut open in order to get the arrow out.
The soldier was very young, and the corners of his mouth were still fluffy. Bian Que was cutting with a knife on his arm, and he didn't have anesthesia this year. The only painkiller was a wooden stick, which was usually held in the mouths of the soldiers. If it doesn't work, the medics will find a thicker stick to knock them out alive. When encountering those who are not proficient in learning and art, it is not for nothing that they are knocked to death. Anyway, it is a matter of probability to meet quacks, and it depends on luck whether you can die or live.
"Ah......h An extremely tragic wail sounded, and Yun Yue hurriedly ran over to take a look. Seven or eight strong men surrounded a soldier, whose arm was shattered by blunt objects. Through the shattered muscles, you can clearly see that the white bone stubble is still bubbling outward. A doctor brought a saw, and the soldier was so strong that he didn't chop off his arm after a few slashes of the bronze sword.
"Crunch! Crunch......! The sound was very similar to sawing wood, and Yun Yue turned her head. But the screams of the soldiers still make people's hearts palpitate, and that is not a human sound.
Along the way, more than 200 wounded soldiers, at least a dozen seriously wounded, could not survive tonight. Dozens more will be left with disabilities, and the severed human limbs are placed in a large basket. The large wooden basin was full of blood, and as soon as he got out of the tent, the medical officer would splash it on the ground with a "whoosh". The whole wounded barracks stinks, and it's still winter. If it's summer, I don't know how many mosquitoes will come here.
"Master Hou, don't be sad. There will inevitably be casualties on the battlefield, and the Qin people are still good. If you are injured or disabled in battle, the imperial court will pay you money and food every month. During the New Year's holidays, some meat was also distributed. If it's in Da Zhao, it's miserable.
I have lost my hands and feet, and I can't work. There are those who break their homes and break their homes, and there are those who are bullied by their neighbors and rob their property. After the family business was ruined, he could only go to Handan and other Dayi to beg along the streets. Mosquito bites in summer, and bitter cold in winter are even more deadly. It seems that in such a month, Handan City will pull out many zombies that freeze to death every day. Many of them are former military robes. Ao Canghai said and finally choked up, thinking of those soldiers in the army, and the iron-cast men also shed tears.
The Qin people's pension is indeed the most humane among the Warring States princes, not only has a pension, but the imperial court will also distribute money and grain every month. If anyone dares to covet this money and food, the punishment that awaits them is a car split. There is no worry behind him, which is an important reason why the Qin people do not shed blood and fight to the death.
walked past the beds of the wounded soldiers one by one, like the great leaders of later generations, condolences to every wounded soldier. The effect is surprisingly good, and Shen Yin's wounded soldiers are not Shen Yin. The sick who screamed and screamed also stopped, and even some of the ones who had been amputated also stopped. His teeth were clenched, his cheeks were as hard as a stone, and the beads of sweat the size of beans were whirring and no longer howling as badly as before.
Passing by a soldier with wide eyes. Hollow looked at Yun Yue, with no painful expression on his face. A wooden stick was still in her mouth, and Yun Yue tried to step forward to comfort her. was stopped by Bian Que and lifted the felt quilt. One leg had been sawn off, and the mattress was covered in muddy blood.
The black blood stain had frozen over, and there was no blood flowing from the wound.
Yun Yue reluctantly closed his eyes, and the tentacles were already cold. He wanted to roar, he wanted to scold. But no, more than 200 wounded soldiers. Bian Que couldn't keep himself busy even if he had eight hands, and he amputated his leg without any measures. Only these two hundred and five in the army can make it!
"Get some coffins, they will follow me on the battlefield before I die. I, Yunyue, want to let them enjoy the glory after death! Set up a monument for them, and erect a monument greatly. The martyrs of Daqin are glorious through the ages! Yun Yue sat down for a while before helping Ao Canghai to stand up.
"Master Hou, although Pingliang is also in the Qin realm. However, it is located in the northwest and is not suitable for farming, and it is a deserted place. It is already grace for the Hou Ye to give them a coffin, but there is no need to erect a monument. Over here...... There is no one to worship them here. The lieutenant of the Chinese military saw Yun Yue's eyes turn cold, and he began to stutter when he spoke.
He was right, no one would come to pay their respects in a place like Pingliang. When the news of their deaths returned to Guanzhong, only their families would mourn for a while. Maybe in a few years, these once vigorous Guanzhong men will be forgotten.
Forgetting the past is tantamount to betrayal – Lenin!
"I didn't hear what I said, and I said I wanted to erect a monument. In the future, I will report to the king. Ask the king to arrange a special person to offer blood food at four o'clock and eight seasons. Yun Yue glared and roared, in the eyes of these captains, the life of the little soldier was not enough, so he took it so seriously. To be able to put a good coffin on one side seems to be a great grace.
As a modern person, Yun Yue does not have such a mind. Although it would be ugly to discuss equality for all people in these years, at least give an account to the dead.
The lieutenant of the Chinese military was glared at by Yun Yue's wolf-like eyes, and I don't know when Yun Yue also had the majesty of a superior. The lieutenant of the Chinese military academy in his forties was so frightened that he didn't dare to look up at Yun Yue. Low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, like an angry little daughter-in-law.
"General! I'll thank the general on behalf of the dead dog! A gray-haired old soldier was the first to kneel, and then the soldiers from far and near knelt down in a large area.
Erecting a monument is a very luxurious thing for ordinary people. When an ordinary person dies, a wooden plaque in front of the tomb is counted as a tombstone. Over time, it is not the wind and rain that are becoming more and more decaying. It was taken out by unscrupulous people to make wood for cooking. Later generations are often faced with a row of graves, and they can't tell where the ancestors lived.
There are a few people who lack heart, and there are also those who dig it out and take a look. It is not uncommon to dig up the wrong ancestral grave of someone else, causing a fight.
Yun Yue wanted to erect a monument to these fallen soldiers, and the explosive news quickly spread inside and outside the barracks.
Overnight, Yun Yue felt that the way the soldiers looked at her changed a lot. Many soldiers bowed their heads when they saw them from afar, and some even knelt down and kowtowed when they saw them.
There seemed to be something more in their eyes than awe. It can be seen from the respectful demeanor, the expression of reverence. That kind of thing seems to be called - love! (To be continued......)
