Chapter Forty-Seven: The Wind Blows
Everything is being prepared in an orderly manner, just like a crossbow machine with strings, once the war machine is running, there is no need for orders at all, at this time Meng Tian is still like a statue, his eyes are closed with his sword in both hands, and the dew on the mustache drips down, falling on the battle robe and rendering it in an instant.

Zou Yi Mountain is not high, only a few hundred meters, and the place where even Duyin is eager to try is not steep, but Yu Zhou is reluctant, this guy has not nailed the horseshoe yet, in case he hurts himself to death, just with the help of a horseback to overlook, you can see the top of the mountain.
"General, the army has been arranged, give the order!"
Meng Tian's eyes slowly opened: "Where is the thief?" β
"General Hui, they all settled in the lower part of the south side, and now they have fled north when they hear that our army is coming."
"Is there a layout in Shanbei?"
"This mountain has been surrounded by water, if it weren't for His Majesty's scruples about climbing to the top to enjoy the scenery, he would be able to burn it all with just a fire!"
"Get the people out."
"Whoa!"
Meng Tian's tone was so frivolous, as if it was just a flock of sheep, but the captain didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and waved the talisman to pass the order.
"How is it, what do you think of the Great Qin Army Formation?"
"General Huimeng, the army is strictly organized and will not be defeated in a hundred battles, but the military order is like a head rolling, congratulations, you will succeed in a thousand bones."
Meng Tian was slightly stunned, and tasted for a while before saying: "What kind of bones are they, ten thousand bones have long since withered, and this group of people is just some bone slag." β
This is indeed true, but how to listen to it and how to be less human, Yu Zhou has not experienced large-scale killing, and he always feels very awkward in his heart, after all, living flesh and blood are not numbers on the sand table, they will wail and cry, and more people will be left to suffer, such as the five hundred boys and women that Xu Fu has been thinking about.
"Do you know why General Ben took you with him?"
"I don't know, boy."
"The old man just wants you to understand the difference between soldiers and heroes, your swordsmanship is good, that's only between the rangers, it's useless to the battle array, at most to ensure that you die later, if you want to live in this world, then use your sword to protect the military lord, I can look down on you."
"Isn't General Meng always worried about me being robbed?"
"That's because you don't deserve it! How? Now you have a chance not to prove yourself? β
"Take human life? Yu Zhou is still afraid that he will have nightmares! β
"That's because you killed less, and when you get mixed with the doctor, naturally a hundred ghosts will not come close."
Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, the cruel fighting career has run through Meng Tian for half of his life, the Great Qin military system has been ingrained in his mind, Yu Zhou even secretly thought about whether he could get Meng Tian over if he started an army with Xiang Ji in the future, just like Zhang Han, now it seems that this idea is a little naΓ―ve.
As long as Daqin is still in full swing, as long as His Majesty the First Emperor is not dead, this guy who was born in the same year as Ying Zheng will shed the last drop of blood for Daqin, just like he killed himself without complaint or regret.
After a few words, the army began to advance in an orderly manner, and a pile of fire even rose on the south side of the mountain, Yu Zhou's mind was scattered, and he didn't react for a while: "Isn't Your Majesty going to climb the mountain to look at the scenery, what does it mean to set fire now, aren't you afraid of destroying the mountains and forests?" β
"Your Majesty is just a temporary decision, you know and I know this matter, but the people on the mountain don't know, of course there must be shouting when driving the dog into the poor alley, not everyone has the determination to push the meson, let alone ...... For His Majesty, the blood of rebellion is the best view. β
Yu Zhou suddenly regretted that he had adjusted and taught Xiang Ji too much, and his spirit could not be vented, the future enemy was so ferocious, could the well-behaved Chu Overlord be the opponent of this group of war maniacs?
The fire was lively, the smoke billowed into the sky, and with the last trace of night, the people on the mountain had no way to judge whether the Qin army really wanted to burn the mountain, and soon some people couldn't care about hiding their bodies and leaking out.
This scene is very familiar, I remember that the fishing boat that went out to sea did this, first cast a net and then drive away the fish, the difference is that this net laid by the Qin army is full of barbed stingers, and the Qin crossbow of the cold forest is ready to go.
There are more and more figures in the mountains and forests, and there is no trace of bandit fierceness at all, it seems that it is just a refugee who is helping the old and the young, struggling and jumping in the net, like a stranded fish.
Seeing that Meng Tian was about to wave his hand and give an order, Yu Zhou couldn't hold back any longer: "General Meng! Put out the fire! The army has surrounded this place, and only one person can persuade them to surrender, isn't there a shortage of people in Daqin to repair the galloping road, the mountain is full of people, if you can't send a lobbyist, I will act as a lobbyist! β
Meng Tian ignored it, waved down the command flag heavily, the Qin army suddenly the war drums sounded in unison, the net was further retracted, the heavy infantry beat the shield, shouting and approaching layer by layer, in an instant, the prey of the Qin army was only left with a mountain to stand on, and some of them were forced to rush desperately with their big mouths open, but they didn't even make a splash, they were hooked into the battle and disappeared.
"The strength of the soldiers, the courage of the husband, the army to go out to fight without success is a taboo for soldiers, the crime of these thieves can no longer be offset by building a few roads and serving for several years of conscription.
And most importantly...... The significance of this battle lies in the prestige, if all the old people of all countries act like this, do you want this general to clean up one mountain after another! β
Another command flag was waved, the war drums became more urgent, the crossbowmen moved quietly, and the chariot that Meng Tian was riding followed closely. There was no turning back when he opened the bow, although he already knew in his heart that Yu Zhou still wanted to make a final effort.
"Punishment is used to cut down, morality is to defend it, force is used to conquer the enemy, general, please look at this group of people on the mountain, all of them are old, young, women, and children, can such refugees be regarded as combat merits?"
Meng Tian's raised right hand suddenly stiffened, and just when Yu Zhou thought there was hope, the third order flag waved down heavily, and the rapid drum beat was like the howl of a cow, its sound was like thunder, and as soon as the three-way drum passed, the entire battlefield suddenly fell into a strange silence.
It can be seen that the courage of the group of people on the mountain has been completely intimidated by the military array, gathered together like sheep to be slaughtered, courage will be contagious, and cowardice is the same.
The heavily armored foot soldiers began to shout the gale, sending their last blessings to the crossbow bolts behind them.
"Strings!"
The crossbow machine creaked, and the machine hung on the tendon strings that were as full as the moon.
"Look!!"
After the bronze lookout, the crossbowman aimed at the target with one eye open.
"Shoot !!"
I have long heard of the life-and-death battle between Qin and Chu, but no matter how many words there are, it is better to see it with my own eyes, three thousand Qin crossbows were fired one after another, mixed with Weng Ming's scream piercing the eardrums, Yu Zhou was sure that if he was on the mountain, facing the overwhelming rain of arrows would definitely be more desperate than facing three thousand rifles, at least the bullets were invisible to the naked eye......
Yu Zhou tried not to see the tragic situation on the mountain, he noticed that this time all the crossbows used were waist-open crossbows with a longer range and greater power, the crossbowmen sat flat on the ground, the pendant on the waist hooked the bowstring and then kicked the soles of the feet, and people and animals died within two hundred steps.
The peak has long been turned into a Shura purgatory, and the foot soldiers are strictly guarding the formation, and the trapped beast-like prey has no life at all.
The rising sun always represents hope, but Yu Zhou felt that today's morning light was particularly dazzling, and thousands of lives disappeared at this dawn, hoping that this was a dream......
