Wheels! Ma Xiao Xiao! Pedestrians with bows and arrows at their waists. This is a true portrayal of the expedition of the Tang people, and the expedition of the Qin people is very different from that of the Tang people.

Due to the low level of bow and arrow manufacturing, the range and power are very limited. The Qin army was equipped with a large number of crossbows, which were very exaggerated. The arm span can reach more than a meter, and the swarthy shaft of the arrow is two feet long. The destruction of two hundred steps away from the horse harness is a unique killing weapon in the world. Any armor in front of the bronze arrow cluster is like a scum.

Five thousand Qin troops stood proudly against the cold wind, and the howling north wind blew on their faces like knives. But the people in front of him were like copper cast in iron, and none of them moved a bit, and they stood like nails. The strictness of the discipline of the Great Qin Army can be seen.

Meng Fu seemed to attach great importance to this advance team that set off a day earlier, and it was Meng Tian, the son of Meng Fu, who led the 5,000 Qin army. This famous general of the Great Qin in the future was born short and strong, like a tank with a very low chassis. A heavy bronze armor wrapped his whole body, but when he took off the helmet, Yun Yue found that he was very young. Definitely no more than sixteen years old, with no swarthy beard on his face, only a faint layer of fluff.

The minimum tactical unit of the Great Qin military system was the army, which consisted of five soldiers. Ten corps formed a canton, consisting of fifty soldiers. Two tuns formed a general, consisting of a hundred soldiers. Five will form a Lord, consisting of five hundred soldiers. The two lords form a general, composed of 1,000 soldiers (the general here is a Qin army formation unit, not a general).

The 5,000 men and horses assigned to Yun Yue were a cavalry general, an infantry general, and the remaining three were crossbow generals. Great Qin's cavalry. There are no long weapons such as spears. A crossbow that was N size smaller than the infantry, and a bronze dagger were all they had. Like the Zhao cavalry, they also did not have stirrups.

Such cavalry can only be called light cavalry at best. It seems that the main function of the cavalry in this year was not to charge. Instead, it is a roundabout outflanking and spying on the military situation.

In the Warring States period, the work of charging into battle had to be completed by chariots. On the battlefield, invincible heavy tanks exist like tanks. However, after Yun Yue invented the trench tactic, it is presumable that the reloading chariot will soon be withdrawn from the stage of war.

"The last general, Meng Tian, has seen Yunhou, General Wang!" Meng Tian got off the war horse, this kid is really not tall. It's only about one meter and six. In front of Wang Qian, who is 1.90 meters tall, he looks even more short and stocky. seems to have a fight with Chu Dayong.

"What are the general's orders?" Yun Yue didn't speak, and Wang Jian stepped forward and asked. For the military system of the Qin State. Yun Yue is not familiar with the discussion yesterday, and Wang Jian will try to speak. lest Yun Yue show cowardice and make jokes that shouldn't be.

"On the order of Lord Xiangbang, the army will set off from Xianyang early tomorrow morning. I'll need to leave today. Make a way for the great army. "Lu Buwei's hand is really clever. An army of 50,000 marched in the middle of winter. Even if the Six Nations received a detailed voice, I am afraid that it will not be too late to gather troops. I'm afraid that by the time the six eastern countries have organized their armies, the head of the Eastern Zhou Jun will have already moved.

The Qin army was like a wolf and a tiger, and the Eastern Zhou army was less than 10,000 people. It's all a rabble that has been put together improvised, and they can come up with results in the face of 50,000 Qin military butts.

"In that case, let's follow the military order!" Yun Yue opened his mouth and ordered.

He is at the head of this army, and only he is qualified to call the shots. The Great Qin army is strictly disciplined, and even Wang Jian does not have this right.

The army rumbled in. The Yun family's team really surprised Meng Tian. God, there are as many as 100 ox carts alone. Not yet. The two dozen or so huge four-wheeled carriages.

Everything in the car was covered with tarpaulin, and I couldn't see it when I wanted to. With such a large procession going on for miles, the slowness of the ox cart is obvious to all. With so much burden, it's a way to catch an egg.

"General Wang, isn't it ...... for Yunhou to bring so much baggage!" Meng Tian didn't dare to talk to Yun Yue, but the military had spoken a few words to Wang Qian. Urging the horse to gallop in front of Wang Qian, he said with some worry.

"The army has not moved, grain and grass go first, this is the essence of the soldiers. Besides, you think these things are all food and grass? Don't worry, these ox carts are all modified and won't delay the trip. ”

The Yunjia ox carts have been improved, not only have simple bearings between the wheels and wheels. Even the wheels were widened to dissipate the pressure and increase friction. Yun Yue also carefully prepared something similar to a tank self-rescue wood, and there was no such a good way to gallop out of the Qin State. If the ox cart gets stuck in the pit, it can also be pulled out with self-rescue wood.

As the five thousand men and horses marched eastward, they heard only the clashing of the blades of their armor and the bones of the wheels. Although it is in the territory of Qin, it is not far from Xianyang. But Wang Jian still arranged the sentry cavalry, and a thousand cavalry were scattered. Protecting the entire team, the front and back, left and right in all directions, the farthest scout was even released for ten miles.

It was so cold that the bronze armor could freeze on it if it touched the skin. Luckily, everyone is walking, so it's warmer. Those guys who rode horses and drove the cart were frozen, and Wang Jian shook his snot. exhaled a white breath and looked at Yun Yue's carriage with deep resentment.

As the main general, Yun Yue did not have the slightest awareness of sharing weal and woe with the soldiers. This guy is quite nourished, and the wide carriage is like a small room of its own. There was a copper kettle sitting on the iron stove, and he was not allowed to bring his female dependents when he went out on the expedition. From time to time, the bolt posts were filled with a little charcoal to ensure that the carriage was insulated from the cold outside. An iron cylinder sticks out of the car and expels the smoke from the charcoal fire.

Yun Yue snuggled up in a pile of sheepskins, which were also covered with thick furs. From time to time, stuff some pecans into your mouth, and then take a bite of fruit stuffed, which is called a moisturizing day.

From time to time, I lifted the curtain and took a look at the poor Qi who was frozen like a turtle. The psychology is balanced in an instant, Lao Tzu is a marquis, and Lao Tzu is a nobleman. Aristocrats, you have to look like nobles.

Wang Jian is a very famous general, although it is cold to death. He was still sitting upright on his horse, as if the biting cold wind had nothing to do with him. The scarlet daze was blown by the cold wind. Wearing leather gloves made by the Yun family on his hands, he galloped back and forth waving a horsewhip.

This is a qualified general, who really does not wear an umbrella in winter and summer. Yun Yue sometimes didn't understand the persistent spirit of the generals in ancient times, and he could obviously sit in the warm car. Obviously, you can drink a little wine like yourself and be comfortable. But they were freezing to death outside, but they refused to enter their warm car.

But I saw where Wang Jian went. The reverent eyes of the soldiers. Yun Yue understood that sharing weal and woe with the generals and soldiers could effectively boost morale. The march of 5,000 men in such bad weather did not raise any objections. In addition to strict military discipline, the exemplary role of generals is also effective.

No wonder it is said that a thousand armies are easy to get, and one general is hard to find. A general like Wang Jian is a talent that monarchs of various countries dream of. It is very rare in the Six Kingdoms, but in the Qin Kingdom, there are many famous generals who will shine brightly. Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms. not only relies on invincible and arrogant soldiers, but also relies on these loyal and brave generals.

The army marched all the way, passing through each city. Local officials have served wine and meat. However, Wang Jian strictly ordered that the army should not be allowed to enter the city and station. There are regulations for every camp, and all departments are encamped according to the unified deployment.

Wang Jian was very interested in the thing called password invented by Yun Yue, and the two sentinels only had to say a word casually. A password, a reply can identify whether the other party is a person in the camp. This is very effective for the infiltration of foreign fine work. Wang Jian felt that good things should be promoted throughout the army. Send a fast horse back to report to Lü Buwei. I hope that the whole army will use Yunhou's method.

Yun Yue is basically a layman in the army, especially in terms of marching formation. Since you don't understand, don't command blindly. In line with the principle of handing over professional things to professional people, Yun Yue simply gave the military power to Wang Qian.

Meng Tian was very dissatisfied with Yun Yue's extravagance, and this marquis in the winter actually had to eat green vegetables. I thought it was a joke, but the Yun family chef really took out some tender green vegetables from the back of the warm car. was so shocked that Meng Tian's jaw was about to fall, and he watched the Yun family cook chop the leeks and close them with the scrambled eggs. Take a pack with a piece of white stuff. After steaming for a while, it emits an intoxicating fragrance.

Swallowing and foaming hatefully, Meng Tian filled a bowl of wheat and rice. I ate it with pickle gnocchi.

Everything about the Yun family made Meng Tian feel new, and those ox carts and carriages were basically not very broken. Daqin doesn't have a four-wheeled carriage yet, not because of anything else. It's really hard to solve the steering problem, and the Yun family's four-wheeled carriage doesn't seem to have this problem. A small device plays a role in steering, and the carriage will slowly turn with a slight pull of the driver.

The ox cart is also very different from the ox cart of Daqin, the wheel is generally very wide, and there are rivets on it. It can still be driven on ice and snow roads, and I don't know how many times better than those ox carts in the baggage camp.

The soldiers of the Qin army were always very envious of the food of the Yun family, and the white things cooked in a large pot looked delicious. They seem to have an endless supply of meat, and beef that they are not allowed to slaughter. Above the main tent in the middle, there was always a smell of flesh that prompted the saliva of the soldiers.

"Although the food in the army is coarse, you can't do this as the main general! Look at the eyes of the soldiers, ...... for the generals! ”

"Isn't it right to share weal and sorrow? It's not that you don't know that Lao Tzu is not the material for eating military meals. This time it's to catch ducks on the shelves, and Lao Tzu's daughter-in-law is about to give birth, do you know it? At this time, you let Lao Tzu go with you to conquer the Eastern Zhou Kingdom. A big city can also use an army of 50,000? ”

Yun Yue has a belly of resentment for this expedition, and Lao Tzu's first child was born. I can't watch from home, and I'm sent to fight in this ice and snow. Who doesn't have a little temper, eating a little better and drinking a little more is considered excessive?

Wang Jian is a person who has nothing to do to look for a draw, and actually came to Yun Yue to talk about food. was so angry that Yun Yue dropped her chopsticks on the spot, and the farther away from home she became, the more irritable Yun Yue became. Whenever she thinks of Wulan, who is about to give birth, Yun Yue is worried. In these years, a woman giving birth to a child is really a ghost gate. One corpse and two lives are a common thing, and I don't know how many women fall to the threshold of giving birth every year.

Yun Yue found that he was a family dog, and he was already obsessed with his home in the Warring States. Three wives like flowers, a group of chirping sisters. There is also a kind and kind grandmother, a capable aunt and a good-natured aunt. The only male in the Yun family, he really doesn't want to go out to fight.

Wang Jian was not interested in pleasing the boss, and it stands to reason that Yun Yue did not do too much. Wang Jian used the requirements of famous generals to bind Yun Yue, which was a mistake at all. Yun Yue handed over the military power to him, which was already a huge concession. Whoever is in charge can hand over the military power. I'm afraid that looking at the entire Great Qin army, there is only Yun Yue, the two hundred and five vanguard officers.

Facts have proved that it is not good for the deputy to go against the leader. Wang Jian, who was about to eat when he returned to the camp tent, found that his share of noodles was gone. All that's left is a bowl of slimy fried noodles, soaked in water and shaped like snot. Smell it and vomit, watch it crazy, and eat it with the urge to kill the cook's whole family.

"What about Lao Tzu's noodles? Which guy is dying, dare to steal Lao Tzu's noodles. "General Wang was furious, to the point of being angry. In winter, it's like eating hot noodles. If you add some chili oil from the Yun family, it would be great. After eating a bowl, I sweated happily after drinking the soup, and the fatigue of smoking a bowl of steamed wine for a day disappeared.

"Yunhou said that the general likes to share weal and woe with the soldiers. Your noodles today were given to a certain family. Hey! The general is really a good general who is not born in the world, and a certain family is deeply admired. ”

Qi Qi generously stood up and admitted that Wang Jian immediately lost his temper. The Great Qin Iron Eagle Warriors, who were proud of his subordinates, were defeated at the hands of the Hu Dao Knight led by Qi Qi. has to pass, Qiqi is already a psychological obstacle for Wang Qian.

Don't even think about it, it's in Pixiu's mouth. It was really an impossible task to take it out, Wang Jian gave up wisely, and dealt with the unpalatable bowl of fried noodles with difficulty.

Although there are such and such episodes, the speed of the march of the army is very amazing. Starting from Xianyang, it took only five days to drive more than 400 miles to Hangu Pass.

The general guarding the pass inspected the tiger talisman and arrows, as well as the edict of King Zhuangxiang, and ordered it to be released. Not far from Hangu Pass, he went out of the Great Qin border.

A fierce Qin army came out of Hangu Pass, and the people at the border pass ran in fear. Not knowing where this Qin army was going to attack, Wang Jian ordered the Qin army to speed up the march. Only three days later, he came to the city of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and looked at the dilapidated city walls of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom and the low gates. Wang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, according to Yun Yue's statement, it seemed that victory was already in his hands.

"You don't have to set up camp, set up camp under the city. Assemble the siege engines and let them see our momentum. "Yun Yue, a pioneer officer in name only, finally gave the first order.

Five thousand Qin soldiers were like crazy ants, gathered under the city of Eastern Zhou. (To be continued......)
