Volume 1 Chapter 1 Qin Jun I

Next Chapter

Five Stone Mountain, but there have never been trees growing on the top of the mountain, only five boulders, hence the name. Wushi Mountain is located at the junction of Qinmu Kingdom and Zhao Jin Kingdom, and belongs to the territory of Qinmu Kingdom. On both sides of Wushi Mountain, there are mountain ranges, about ten miles wide, the mountains are full of ancient trees, the humidity is very heavy, there are many mosquitoes, and it is difficult to climb over. Only Wushi Mountain can be crossed, and there is no need to take so many unjust roads.

Wushi Mountain to the east is Zhao Jinguo to the west and enters the Qinmu Kingdom, which shows its importance to the strategy of the two countries, so Wushi Mountain can be said to be a place where the two countries must fight. Large and small battles are staged here both in wartime and peacetime, and I don't know how many hot-blooded men from the two countries spill their blood at the foot of the mountain every year.

Although the mother kingdom of Qin and the kingdom of Zhao Jin are now peaceful, there are no major battles. But no matter which country's borders are unlikely to be warsome, although both countries are in the stage of recuperation, but after so many years of accumulation, both countries are almost ready, and what a big war lacks is just an opportunity. So small wars on the border are commonplace.

It can be said that the border of the two countries is a war zone ten miles back to its own land, and there are no civilians living at all, and some are constantly cruising soldiers (a hundred people are set up as a pawn commander), in order to prevent the enemy country from entering and invading the enemy country at any time, of course this is the case for both countries, and this is the daily life of the border army in peacetime.

Wushi Mountain to the east, three or four miles away, two carriages and horses and more than a dozen people are desperately fleeing to the east, weapons, armor, battle flags are thrown to the ground, look carefully at the battle flag on the show of a big Zhao character, think that it is to prevent the Qin army from entering the territory of Zhao Jin and wandering outside, obviously today encountered the Qin people and suffered defeat.

There were about four or five hundred people following Zhao Jun. The first person is a tiger-backed bear, with a waist height of about eight feet, and three heads hanging from his waist, one of which looks like the helmet is the commander of Zhao Jun. The man stopped when he chased after a mound with a long sword, looked at Zhao Jun who was running in the distance, raised his long sword and shouted: "Wind", and then the sergeants who chased after him also stopped and raised their weapons and shouted: "Wind. Wind Wind". Listening to the shouts of Qin Jun in the distance, the Zhao Jun who ran away regretted that their parents didn't give birth to their own two legs, so that they could run faster.

"Is it okay for the brigade commander (five pawns to be a brigade) to let them run away like this? They are all military merits! A baby-faced Qin soldier ran up to the big man at the front and asked with a slightly dissatisfied face.

"Let them run, if you chase them down, you may encounter a large number of Zhao Jun, don't give your life away for a little military merit, if you want to kill someone, there will be a chance, you have to remember another truth of survival on the battlefield I taught you." Dahan turned his head and said while casually wiping the long sword in his hand on his clothes and putting it into the scabbard. Listening to the tone of the conversation between this soldier and the brigade commander, it seems that the brigade commander usually interacts peacefully with his subordinates, otherwise the soldier should be beaten, and in serious cases, he may lose his life for it.

"The soldiers obeyed the order, and the commanders led the cleaning of the battlefield. As usual, the corpses of the fallen comrades were collected first, and then the military merits were verified by the commanders and reported to the commanders, who then reported to me together with the list of fallen soldiers and their military merits. After answering the soldier's question, the brigade commander shouted to the Qin people who were still raising their weapons and shouting.

"No," the sergeants who heard the brigade commander's shouts immediately replied. After answering, they walked to the previous battlefield to collect the corpses of the dead robes, each with a sad expression on their faces.

"Why are you still staying here and not reporting your military merits? How many Zhao people's heads did you cut off today? The brigade commander looked back at the little soldier from earlier.

"Go back to the brigade marshal, today I will cut off the heads of two Zhao people, both on my waist." As he spoke, the little soldier turned sideways, revealing the two human heads hanging from his waist, and patted them vigorously.

"Then you go and help collect the remains of the soldiers, wait for the next one and cremate them, and send the bones back to their hometown together with the military merits and the bereavement of the dead, which can be regarded as fulfilling their wish to return to their hometown with honor." The brigade marshal's face was obviously sad, and he said: "They are our comrades, for the sake of Daqin, for you and my life, they died here, we can't let them be violent corpses in the wilderness, although we can't transport their corpses back, but we can still bring back the ashes, and that's all we can do for the living people and the dead people."

"Let the robes take it, and I'll work harder next time. Brigade Marshal, I stayed here to ask you a few questions, can you answer me? The little soldier himself felt a little embarrassed, and he didn't know if it was because he didn't restrain the corpses of his comrades or because of his own presumptuousness.

"Oh, what questions do you ask, I'll answer you all if you win the battle today. Come, sit down and speak. So saying, the brigade commander sat down on the mound, took out a small jug of wine from under the armor on his chest, unplugged it, and took a sip.

"Brigade Marshal, you said it yourself, answer me any question, then I'll ask." Xiao Bing thought for a while: "Brigade Marshal, I only know your surname Bai, but I don't know your name?" Is it true that they say you have killed more than ninety enemies? Immediately, you will kill a hundred people, you will become a "human behead", do you continue to stay in the border army to lead us, or return to the royal capital to join the Praetorian Guard, and stay away from this place? This question is actually the most important question for those of us who are subordinates. ”

"Do you have to report your own if you want to know someone's name? My surname is Bai Mingtong, and my hometown is thirty miles north of Daqin, and I haven't been back for a long time. I really miss my father and mother and my wife, I don't know if I was pregnant last time, maybe I can hug my son when I go back" After speaking, Bai Lushuai showed a longing expression on his face, and Xiaobing also saw the happiness in the eyes of the brigade marshal.

After a while, Bai Tong adjusted his mood, picked up the wine jug again, drank a big sip vigorously, and continued, "About human beheading, it is indeed true, I won't hide it from you, there are probably two more heads, I will kill a hundred people, of course, counting the heads cut off today." Kill people! The highest honor for a single soldier in Daqin, when I first came to the border army, I never dreamed that I would kill so many people. ”

"At that time, I just wanted to kill a few people to get some military merits, and then go back to honor my father and mother, marry a wife, plant two acres of good land, and live my little life comfortably, I didn't expect it! Accidentally, I became an unattainable existence in my eyes at that time. Bai Copper's face was full of memories, as if he had gone back to a few years ago.

Xiao Bing felt that he clearly saw the smugness in the eyes of the brigade commander, but he had to admit that the title of "human beheading" was not something that everyone could have, and how many people died on the road to this honor. This is something to be proud of. The soldier looked at his brigade commander, there was no envy or jealousy, there was only worship in the soldier's eyes.
