Chapter 883: Qin Ge's Song (II)

Although he was also a recalcitrant minister of Yin Shang, Qin's ancestors were worse than the Zhao family, and Zhao Zao's father had already obtained a fief and became a favorite minister of the doctor, but Qin was still a pawn and a wrangler in the Zhou room. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It wasn't until King Xuan of Zhou ascended the throne that he took Qin Zhong as his doctor and ordered him to crusade against Xirong. Qin Zhong died in the battle with Xirong, King Xuan of Zhou summoned his son Qin Zhuang Gong Kundi five, returned seven thousand young Zhuang to them, let them continue to fight Rong, the five brothers did not know how many people died in battle, and finally expelled Xirong Baili, got the dog hill, and got the title of "Xizhui Doctor"!

This is the origin of Qin, the origin full of blood and fire.

In the dark, Zipu, the commander of the Qin army, knew that hundreds of years ago, Qin Zhong, Qin Zhuanggong, as well as Qin Xianggong and Qin Wengong, must have also taken his soldiers and sang the generous and tragic Qin song, in order to let the Qin people kill a piece of the world from the Hewei Plain in the Rongdi Miscellaneous Place, and resolutely march towards their battlefield.

On today's Hexi battlefield, there are also 30,000 Qin people, they are farmers and hunters with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky, their families are not rich, there is no difference between father and son, and a few people in a family are crowded in one room, so the eastern princes say them with disdain: "The same customs as Rong Di", and the wind of private fighting is prevalent, and the number of bloodshed every year cannot be counted.

But it was these Qin people who were contaminated with barbarism, and after they took up arms, they became immortal warriors!

The song that Zhou Tianzi ordered the five brothers to crusade against Xirong has been sung to this day.

"Do you say you have no clothes? ...... with the Son"

Zipu raised his head, and 30,000 people sang in unison in a dry Qin accent:

"Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and have the same enmity with the son!"

This is a poem that regards death as home, and it is also an indomitable song, and after the song, the Qin people launched a charge......

However, this heroic Qin song, in the Zhao cavalry and Yulin guards such as Youcheng who were watching the battle from afar, it was of no use except for a louder voice......

……

"Will the Qin people fight in the end......" Youcheng stepped on the stirrup and stood on tiptoe to watch the two armies take over.

The purpose of Zhao Wuxian sending them over was of course not to support the Wei clan, but to observe the battle of Qin and Wei nearby.

"On the battlefield, only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles, be immersed in the scene, see with your eyes, listen with your ears, think with your brain, and write down the process of the battle, the enemy's tactics and tactics, advantages and disadvantages, all for me!"

Youcheng and this group of Yulin guards are grassroots officers that Zhao Wuxian focuses on cultivating, and neither their education nor their familiarity with the military are comparable to those of martial artists who have become monks halfway.

Of course, Zhao Wuxian did not explain who was the "enemy" between Wei and Qin, so You Cheng and the others looked east for a while, and looked west for a while, and before the battle, they came to the conclusion that the victory or defeat between Wei and Qin should be in Qisan.

Because Wei's tactics are too similar to Zhao's, especially Wei's Chinese army, which is thousands of heavily armored soldiers known as "Wei Wushu", although in the opinion of Youcheng, it is only a crude imitation of Zhao's Wushu, but its equipment has probably reached the level of Zhao before the first battle in Wenshui.

The Wei army had already set up a square formation early, and unlike the Zhao family's large phalanx, they followed the five formations of Wei Xianzi, which was not tenacious enough, but more flexible. However, in Yu Cheng's opinion, if Zhao Wei fought in the plains, this kind of "five formations" with a thin depth would definitely be crushed to pieces by Zhao's spear and shield.

It's a pity that the enemy they are facing today is not Zhao Bing, but Qin Pawn.

In the face of the Qin people's seemingly chaotic charge, the Wei Chinese army stood still, the armor soldiers in the front row erected large oars one by one, and the back row fired bows and crossbows forward, Wei crossbows were not as strong as Zhao's crossbows, but they were also a good choice to match with bows and arrows.

The Qin people also had a small number of crossbows, after all, many of them were veterans who had participated in the battle to save Chu, and it was in that war that the Chu craftsman Qin invented the single-handed crossbow. But more with the bow, in addition to the Weihe Plain, the Qin State is surrounded by a bunch of primeval forests, there are the benefits of rubber leather, "Qin bow" is a good bow of the well-known princes, but only a few good archers have, the rest of the people use, most of them are simple single small bows, arrows are also varied, iron, copper, stone, bone, different times and different textures of arrows flying in the middle of the two armies.

As a result, often before the Qin people could shoot the Wei army, they were shot over by crossbow arrows, like wheat falling in the wind......

And those who rushed to the front of the Wei army were also stabbed by spears and halberds, and could not take a single step, like a huge wave bombarding the reef, and the Qin people's attack was blocked from the beginning.

"The Qin army is going to be defeated......" You Cheng and the others felt a little bored, he felt that the tactics of the Qin people, compared to Dai Rong, who had fought with him, were not very smart, but the Wei army was very noteworthy, if this army fought a few more battles and accumulated more experience, the Wei clan should be the great enemy of the Zhao clan!

……

At the same time, Pu, the eldest son of the Qin State, was also anxious......

In Zipu's view, the Qin people always seem to have a tragic fate, lost and regained, gained and lost.

A long, long time ago, their ancestors were defeated in Makino, lost their evil origins, lost their status as princes and dignitaries, and plummeted.

After several generations of endurance and humiliation efforts, they finally became the "Western Doctors", and they had a certain strength, which meant that they had the capital to be used, so in the complicated changes of the Lishan Change, the Qin people who had an extraordinary relationship with Shenhou became the heroes of King Qin.

Qin Xianggong was meritorious in escorting King Zhou Ping to the east, and was made a prince, finally restoring their position in the Yin Shang period. Since the day of the official founding of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin people have been fighting, fighting non-stop with the dog Rong, Xirong, and Bai Zhai, and finally broke through the siege victoriously, re-established contact with the royal family in the east, and received the most wonderful gift: the hometown of Zong Zhou.

At that time, the Qin State had a faint tendency to dominate, but it was blocked by the rise of the Jin State, Qin Mugong dreamed of getting Hexi, so he did not hesitate to continuously fund the brothers of Jin Huigong and Jin Wengong to return to China, but they were repeatedly deceived by the Jin people, and the Qin people suffered blood losses in the battle of rafting and the battle of Kun.

This made them understand one thing, and it also became a principle that the Qin people believed in for hundreds of years: where they couldn't get it by diplomatic means, they could only use the sword to seize it!

As a result, the three heroes of the Qin State were defeated in two battles, and together with themselves, they were also taken prisoner and suffered humiliation. But Qin Mugong did not ask them to blame, but the official was reinstated, he just gambled and was unwilling to give up. In the third time, Qin Mugong personally marched, and he said to the Chinese doctors who came to see him off, if he could not win this expedition, Ren Hao would never return to China to see Brother Kun's father!

With the belief that they would rather die than win, the Qin people finally won, won Hexi, the corpse of the battle of Fengkun, returned with honor, and then dominated Xirong, destroyed the twelve, expanded the land for thousands of miles, and the Son of Heaven also sent a secretary to congratulate, although it is not enough to say "hegemony", but the status of one of the four great powers is certain...... In this constant search and recovery, they gradually grew stronger in Yongzhou, with a culture and pride different from that of the eastern princes.

It's a pity that after Qin Mugong, the Qin State was besieged by the Jin State to death, and there was no chance to advance eastward, and Hexi was gradually lost, and even once beaten to Jingshui by the Jin people, and the Qin people suffered humiliation again, as the enemies of the overlord, they were even deprived of the power of the alliance with the eastern princes, and became increasingly narrow and closed......

As the chief of Qin, Zipu finally got the opportunity to help Chu expel the Wu people, regain Qin's status as a great power, and take advantage of the civil strife of the six secretaries of the Jin State to return to Hexi. Today, the 30,000 Qin people are also fighting the enemy in the wilderness without fear, in order to defend this fertile land that has been lost and regained!

But looking at this posture, is the Qin army going to be defeated?

Zipu was unwilling, he snatched the drum vertebrae, beat hard, pointed at the Wei army and shouted: "Tear open the array of the Wei army!" “

His cries were hoarse and angry, and the drums were tragic and manic.

Under the encouragement of the commander, the Qin people, who had already stagnated in the offensive, shouted again, and rushed towards the Wei army one after another, they still had armor in the front row, but the back row was in rags. Looking at this scene, and then thinking about "how can you say that you have no clothes" and "repair my armor", you can suddenly realize.

Because the Qin people's armor and even military rations were brought by themselves, the rich little nobles wore them better, the poor common people were in tatters, and some people simply charged naked, and their weapons were uneven.

They just went to the well-equipped Wei army in five formations, like a herd of wild horses galloping.

You Cheng was stunned: "This is not a battle, this is a desperate effort." ”

He said it well, "The Qin array is scattered and fights by itself", this is Wu Qi's evaluation of the Qin army, this army that does not know how to set up a formation can only rely on hard work to fight.

The Wei army was different, they were deeply influenced by the Zhao army, they were rapidly mobilized, and unlike those Qin people who fought chaotically, the Wei army fought more about formation and discipline. However, because the commander is not a military talent, "Wei Wushu" has not fought any hard battles since he became an army - if it is the Battle of Changping, Wei Ju shouted "Righteousness in the Eastern Army" and turned against him. As a result, there are some stubbornness, and the change of formation and transfer are quite stiff.

On the other hand, the madness of the Qin army has had a certain effect, they have been fighting against Rong Di since hundreds of years ago, and they have brought all the soldiers to the extreme, and their personal ability is not inferior to the most elite Wei pawns. A group of people roared and jumped into the gap of the Wei army's array, and then used their brave and ruthless combat skills to stab their weapons into the enemy's soft underbelly, and then they were also poked to death, one life for another, under this kind of madness, it really messed up the Wei army's array a little.

Under the Qin people's desperate offensive, the Wei army couldn't help but be a little shocked, after all, they were small in number, and the depth of the five formations was too thin, which was more suitable for hilly combat, and it was still a question whether they could block the crazy blow of the 10,000-strong charge on this kind of great plain.

So Wei Ju's heart tightened, so he mobilized the reserves on both wings, wanting to strengthen the depth of the central part and at the same time encircle the Qin people.

However, just as the Wei army was waving the flag, the battle situation took an interesting turn.

"Ahhh......h

Wei Ju's eyes lit up, and he felt a hint of something wrong......

He jerked his head up as he heard the familiar sound of a horn......

But in the woods to the northwest of the battlefield, countless birds scattered in panic......

PS: There is one more chapter in the evening

As an aside, many readers said that Qin was very weak at this time, and the Wei army should easily defeat them, so you are. "Qin was weak during the reform from Mu Gong to Shang Ying", in fact, people who have this idea were pitted by the description in "The Great Qin Empire", and the Qin State in the late Spring and Autumn Period happened to be a small rising period.

First of all, in the battle to save Chu in 506 BC, Zipu Zihu took 500 cars to support the state of Chu. Zipu said, "I don't know Wu Dao." So that the Chu people fought with the Wu people first, and then they would meet them, and defeated the king of Yuyi...... In autumn and July, the sub-period and sub-pus extinguished the Tang ...... Wu Shi defeated Chu Shi Yu Yongyu, and Qin Shi defeated Wu Shi again. --"Left Biography. Five Years of Dinggong

The Wu army has a strong army built by Sun Wu and Wu Zixu, which can defeat the Wu people, and the combat effectiveness of the Qin army is not as weak as later generations imagined.

As for Qin's national strength at this time, it was probably in the period of Li Gonggong more than ten years after the time of the novel: in the second year of Li Gonggong, the Shu people came to bribe. Sixteen years, beside the Trench River. With 20,000 soldiers, he attacked Dali and took its royal city. Twenty-one years, the beginning of the county of Pinyang. Jin takes Wucheng. In the twenty-fourth year, the Jin rebellion, killed Zhibo, and divided his country with Zhao, Han, and Wei. Twenty-five years, Zhikai and Yi people came to run. Thirty-three years, cut down the righteous canal, and captured its king. --"Qin Benji"

During this period, Qin had a slight trend of Zhongxing, and there were expansions around it, and the decline of Qin was due to the civil strife of several generations after the death of Li Gonggong, and the second was that after the three families were divided into Jin, Wei expanded westward, and with Wu Qi's great talent, Qin had no power to fight back in the Spring and Autumn Period.
