After the rain, it was sunny, and there was a thin mist floating in the air, and a Qin army suddenly jumped out of the fog.
The young officer of the son was standing on the car in gold armor, his face was flushed, and the distance was still eight zhang away, Bai Dong saw the sweat on his face, what is this picture? On a hot day, you still have to wear armor, do you want an image and not a temperature?
Compared with the young official of Gongzi, Gongzhi is much smarter, wearing an ultra-thin silk shirt and a bamboo hat on his head; There is a bamboo cage more than one person high on the carriage behind him, there are more than a dozen eagles in it, there are goshawks, there are harriers, and the rarest gray-backed falcon, there are five bamboo cages like this, there are as many as sixty of them, there are dozens of cages far away from the eagle cage, but they are stuffed with all kinds of pigeons, there are white pigeons that symbolize peace in later generations, there are also gray pigeons, black pigeons, all of which are fat and fat, and the most suitable for serving dishes, which are completely different from the carrier pigeons of the male losers.
"Brother, Wucheng Ling and Mrs. Wucheng have entered the new mansion. The father-in-law was not stingy this time, and specially allocated 30,000 yuan to build a mansion for it, Wucheng Ling was happy, everything was good, you can rest assured. This time, in addition to cloth and caramel candy, I also brought a lot of eagles, all of which I personally caught, but it was not easy, but what do you want these eagles to do? These guys are meat-eaters, difficult to raise, and wild and untamable, no better than pigeons. If my brother is interested in these things, I recommend that you get the eggs and hatch them yourself, and use the old hen to make them, so that the eagles can be loyal to their masters. It is said that this is what the nobles of the Yan Kingdom did. Even the most ferocious Hai Dongqing can be cultivated. But it will take years of hard work, and I originally wanted to raise it, but I was afraid that my father-in-law would scold me."
As long as these topics are mentioned, the eyes of the young officer Gongzi will light up, and his mouth will be even more gushing, Bai Dong can't even interject, and after thinking for a long time, he understands that Wucheng Ling is humming. Now this product is also considered to be a family, and it has also eaten Lao Qin's Yulu, and the treatment is really higher than the national treasure of later generations, I am afraid that he is the first guy to be an official in the history of pandas, not only unprecedented, but also unprecedented.
"These eagles will be of great use. You don't have to start by incubating eggs, it's too troublesome, I'll tell you about the falconry. This time, you are busy, and you have to choose a group of warriors, specially designed for falconers. Interested? â
"Absolutely!"
The young officer jumped three feet high, and he couldn't help himself with excitement. My brother said that there is a way to train eagles. Then there must be.
Young Officer Gongzi and his entourage brought not only eagles and pigeons, but also a cart of fine sand in Shudi, Bai Dong had ordered the army cutters to sew these fine yarns layer by layer, folded them into more than a dozen layers thick, and then made the inner lining of gauze armor for the soldiers. With this thing, you only need to cover it with a black cloth military robe on the outside, and the leather armor and inlaid half armor that the Qin army is accustomed to can be discarded; The Yiqu people are famous for their archers, but they lack crossbows with strong penetrating power, and they do not know how to use the throwing spears of Roman soldiers, and the gauze armor made of more than a dozen layers of gauze can be handled, and even if they are hit by copper and iron arrows, the arrows will be wrapped in thick gauze, making it easier to treat wounds.
At first, they were a little skeptical, but after testing with a wooden target wrapped in a gauze armor, they were no longer suspicious. With this thing, coupled with Bai Dong's leggings and salt sugar water, the Qin army's grasp of going deep into the Longdong Plateau was a little greater; Now the fungus even hopes that the hotter the weather, the better, the Yiqu people don't have these new inventions, the old Qin people have yarn armor, salt sugar water, and the ability to resist the heat is getting stronger and stronger, and God is equivalent to standing on the side of the Qin State.
The army began to advance to the Longdong Plateau, and after the hilly cultivated area, there was a vast sea of grass, where there were wolves, rabbits, many indigenous animals, and countless precious medicinal materials. Qin Yue and Gongzi Shaoguan are crazy, animal protectors and plant protectors often desert, either to get back the nameless herbs that make people dizzy when they eat them, or to bring back a wolf cub, saying that they want to bring back Lao Qin to find a soil dog to mate, maybe there will be excellent offspring?
Bai Dong covered the mouth of the sausage that was swollen by Qin Yueren, and told the young officer that he could continue to work hard, and if the breeding was successful, he would call this thing a wolf dog in the future
The organizational sequence of the Qin army is very similar to that of the Roman legion, with ten masters, centurion masters, thousand masters, and then deputy generals, generals, and generals. This kind of formation method similar to that of the army in later generations is very suitable for the implementation of Bai Dong's 'instructor system', if an instructor is in charge of less than 100 soldiers, it will be a waste, more than 100 people will be limited by energy, and the effect will be reduced, and one instructor for every 100 people is just right.
It has only been implemented for a few days, and the Qin army's 'political appearance' has been greatly improved, and the army with faith is particularly powerful even when it sings military songs, and everyone is holding back a fire in their hearts, ready to fight for Lao Qin, fighting for spiritual beliefs, and the guerrilla tactics of the Yiqu people will only make them more eager to fight.
The military song was loud, all the way deep into the sea of grass, and finally met the first thousand-man cavalry team of Yiqu in the 'Xuanyu City', the contact battle broke out in an instant, the fast horses of the Yiqu people seemed to be stunned by the heat, and the arrows made of animal bones could not even shoot through the robes and gauze armor of the Qin army, the Qin army did not have too many cavalry, but there were sharp bows and crossbows that were famous all over the world, so this battle quickly turned into a one-sided massacre.
The Yiqu cavalry could only keep moving around the Qin army quickly, trying to kill and injure the Qin people with their accurate archery, but unfortunately the protective belts stacked by the chariot were not so easy to break through, and their lame bows and arrows were far from the range of the Qin army, and there was no decent armor, because the weather was too hot, and some of the Yiqu people were even naked.
The Yiqu people retreated, leaving behind a place of corpses, and the old Qin soldiers who were the first to rush into the city were pleasantly surprised to find that this was a large military city, not only with official residences suitable for officials and lords, but also some private houses, although they were empty. There is still some grain and some cattle and sheep in the granary that have not been transferred, and the cattle of the Yiqu people rarely cultivate, they are simply raised to transport materials or kill meat to eat, which is not protected by the Qin Law, which is a good thing for the army! Seeing these fat cows, the soldiers were about to salivate and let out bursts of cheers.
After a while, the general ordered, today in the city of Yu to rest, slaughter sheep and cattle, reward the whole army, suddenly cheers resounded throughout this Rong military city, countless soldiers sang the song "soldier" created by Bai Dong, can shun lĂŹ to capture this military city, a battle to destroy hundreds of enemies, Bai Vice General should be the first merit, if there is no his leggings gauze armor, the heat will also be hot and dizzy, it is strange to have an accurate head when opening the bow.

The scenery in the small courtyard is not bad, the architectural style is very similar to Lao Qin, square and heavy, there are a few mulberry trees, a well, there are small stone tables and small stone benches by the well, and it is quite comfortable to sit.
The young officer of the son was dressed like an old bear, wearing thick leather armor, wearing a leather hat on his head, and his face was wrapped in thick gauze, only two eyes were exposed, the gauze was almost soaked with sweat, and he refused to take it off, Qin Yueren frowned and looked at him, always wanting to tear off his face towel and armor, if he continued like this, he would suffer from heat stroke, which was not good for health.
"Hahaha, you bird eagle, can you catch Lao Tzu now? Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, I'll kill you! â
A gray-backed falcon was put on the tightly wrapped left arm, the eagle was tied by a thin iron chain, and could only hold on to the wrist of the young officer, and the thick leather bracers made by the public loser were all scratched by it A few blood marks, it seemed that he was still unwilling to give up, flapping his wings from time to time and struggling a few times, and the tip of his claws scratched the leather armor was a white mark.
Bai Dong frowned slightly: "Didn't I tell you, you can't be in a hurry, you have to take your time." You stay up day and night like this, is it you who boil the eagle or the eagle who boils you? It's going to heat people to death! Why don't you throw it back in its cage and take off its armor and drink some herbal tea? I don't want another patient in Lao Qin's hands. â
"No, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry! My father-in-law scolded me all day long for not learning well, so this time I let him know that if the beast taming trail is used well, it can also make contributions! Brother, do you think I stay up day and night like this, can I survive in half a month? â
"Yes, yes, but what about the soldiers in charge of falconry under your command like this? Learn from you too? You, the chief officer, will be blamed to death."
"Let him go. With a bear-like body, can you still die of heat? Ping An Lang, the second brother is looking forward to your falconry method, is this thing really useful? Can it help us find the main force of Yiqu? â
Yingquliang walked up to the gray-backed falcon and looked left and right, very suspicious that this thing could be of great use.
"Eagles are only used for communication, there are many eagles on the grassland, but pigeons are not good. However, if you want to find the Yiqu people, this thing will be very useful. â
Bai Dong smiled and walked to a red flag planted in the courtyard, first moved the flag a few times to attract the attention of the gray-backed falcon, and then took out the bamboo basket with pigeon meat from behind the flag, took out a piece of meat and threw it to it. The gray-backed falcon reacted extremely quickly, swallowed it in its mouthful, and then stared at him as if waiting for the next piece.
"Did the second brother see it? When this eagle is boiled out of temperament, it will recognize human beings as the main one, and when it sees the red flag, it will land to find meat to eat, and use it to contact the military intelligence faster than anything else" (to be continued......
