Chapter 501: The Passion Never Stops

readx;

The great era of turbulence!

Batch after batch of young people burst out, Lei Quilt, Chao Cuo, Yuan An, Li Shang and others are the best among many young people, they seized the opportunity, and more people are just an ordinary soldier in the Western Expeditionary Army, their name is just a number in the military register, and their experience may be just a cluster of waves in a certain battle.

The firetail ship still does not give up the fight in a desperate situation!

Wave after wave of crossbow bolts shot out of the firelight, knocking back the approaching Romans again and again, and looking from the thundered ship, it can be found that the hull of the stern ship has been seriously tilted, if it were not for the helmsman and oarsman still not giving up, this warship is afraid that it will be sunk to the bottom of the sea early.

"Drums! Tell Yan Junhou that I am a great Qin soldier and am proud of him; I'm so proud to have a good brother like him! Lei was twinkled in his eyes and said loudly.

Between boys.

It has its own pride and emotion.

The captain of the tail ship replied, like Lei Quilt, from the south, Wu people in Jiangdong County, who are thirty years old and six, have a family, and have one child each.

Yan Hui ancestor is the only southern disciple of Confucius 72 disciples Yan Yan, Wu area, first Wu, Yue, and then there are strong Chu, here the water is dense, snakes and insects are rampant, the people live here, the natural conditions are bad, life is extremely difficult, and in the mountains and forests, the Shanyue people are red-haired and shawl, and the snake python is in company, the people are fat, and the Jiangnan land of Wu Nong's soft language in later generations is completely different.

When he joined the Qin army in the thirteenth year of the Great Qin calendar, that is, at the end of the Unification War, when the Qin State dispatched the Southern Expeditionary Army to deal with Sanyue, the situation at that time was already very clear.

The Battle of the Southern Expedition.

Yan Hui followed the large army around the vast jungle in the south, and did not get any decent credit, and then, as the war subsided, Yan Hui returned to the field and became a self-supporting farmer in Jiangdong County with peace of mind. However, this kind of life of fading out of the bird in the mouth is too difficult for those who have experienced a career in the military.

Great Qin's Western Expedition!

Emperor Shenwu Li Yuan ordered all counties to gather warriors to join the ranks of expanding the territory, and Yan Hui immediately reported in Jiangdong County, but because Jiangdong was too far away from Guanzhong, when Yan Hui and others came to Chang'an, they could only be incorporated into the rear troops of the baggage.

One step behind, one step behind.

Yan Hui's second military career began in a dull way, there were no brilliant victories, there were no classic examples of winning more with less, and some were just chasing down the remnants of the rest of the country, annihilating one or two bandits who dared to fight the Qin army's heavy ideas, and with a persistence in his heart, Yan Hui was promoted from an ordinary soldier to the captain of a ship of the Qin Navy.

Of course, due to the limitations on the tonnage of ships and the number of people they can carry, the number of soldiers under Yan Hui's hands, including oarsmen, is only a mere 120 people, which is very different from the army commander of a team of more than 1,000 people.

However, Yan Hui didn't care.

For him, who grew up between rivers and lakes since he was a child, it was a blessing to be able to put his feet on the deck of the boat and row the warship with wooden oars.

The drums of war!

The familiar drum beat came, which lifted Yan Hui's spirits, from this series of drums, he could feel the meaning expressed by the friendly ship, and Yan Hui had no complaints about Lei being not coming back to rescue, from the very beginning of joining the ranks of the Qin army, he understood what kind of army it was.

The spirit of sacrifice.

It is a compulsory course for every Daqin soldier with ideals and beliefs, and countless times, Yan Hui imagined in his dreams that he could also be like those ancestors of Chang'an Gaolin, whose names were engraved on the stele forest, and accepted the admiration of generations of young soldiers. Maybe one day, his son will also pass by Gaolin.

"Brothers, get ready to release!" Yan Hui pursed his lips, silently took out the last ten rounds of arrows from the quiver box he was carrying, carefully examined them, and placed them in the firing box of the bronze crossbow machine one by one.

Before becoming a captain, Yan Hui was an excellent crossbowman. Now, the casualties on the stern ship were increasing under the pressure of the Romans and the fire, and only five of the fifteen crossbowmen could still shoot, including the commander who made a temporary cameo.

Five people.

With just one army, it was difficult to resist the Roman soldiers who were constantly trying to jump overboard. Fortunately, the innovation of crossbow technology gave Yan Hui the confidence to give it a go.

The machine crossbow in the hands of the Qin crossbow soldiers is a new type of repeating crossbow, and the repeating crossbow arrows that can be carried are generally five boxes, that is, fifty strong arrows, plus ten boxes rescued from the warship, and in just half an hour after the battle, one hundred and forty crossbow arrows have been launched, which is incomparable with the old crossbows of the previous single launch.

If in the past, if he didn't say that he fired a hundred arrows, that is, fifty or sixty arrows, his eyes and arms would be sore, although the crossbow machine did not need the support of arm strength, but the long-term flat-end crossbow machine would still give people a strong sense of oppression, and squinting at Wangshan for a long time would not be able to bear it.

However, after the replacement of the new repeating machine crossbow, the difficulty of the crossbowman firing is greatly reduced, and ten arrows are fired in a row, and the overwhelming power of the arrows is fired, even if the crosshair is a little worse, it can still make people dodge.

"Marquis, the crossbow is gone!"

"Marquis, the Romans are coming up, let's fight!"

The drums in the distance gradually became inaudible, Yan took a long breath of the fishy sea breeze, and bandaged the burns on his back with the strips of cloth of his armor, and he heard the shouts of the soldiers vividly, and the Romans finally approached the besieged Qin tail ship after paying the price of more than 200 people.

――。

Up and down the Roman fleet, the excitement began with the sight of a Qin warship on fire, then it was repulsed again and again, and then it was an angry accusation.

Crassus's face was blue, and one after another of his right-hand men went into battle, which lasted for a whole hour, but he still couldn't deal with the enemy's lone ship, so that Crassus lost so many elite soldiers, if this was spread, it would be a shame for the Roman navy.

He now has to take a good look at how the weapons of the Qin army are used, and how the soldiers of the Qin army on the enemy ship survived the burning ship, are they not afraid of being burned to death?

Death!

For soldiers on the battlefield, it is commonplace, and it happens almost every day, but no one knows who the word death will fall on, except for God.

The brutality of the string battle was presented from the very beginning.

The shirtless Roman soldiers screamed and jumped over from the gangplank one by one, thinking that they had made great achievements, and fiercely tore them apart with the remaining Qin soldiers on the tail ship.

Yan Hui gathered the twenty-one soldiers and oarsmen who were still alive on the stern ship, among them, there were Qin people from the East, Jews and Assyrians recruited in the Mediterranean area, no matter what background, what status, now, back to back, trust their companions, and point their swords at the enemy.

At the bow of the tail ship, a thin Qin crossbowman abandoned the crossbow without crossbows and held a broken sword in his hand, in front of him, two Roman soldiers with hideous faces, with few enemies and no place to maneuver, the defensive army formation gathered back and forth had long been shattered, and the Qin soldiers who had been divided continued to fight with fearless courage.

The crossbowman slowly retreated, his back was already very close to the fire, and the Romans smirked, obviously hoping that this vulnerable Qin pawn would escape into the fire by himself, so that they could safely and boldly watch a live fire performance.

"Haha, Qin Ren is really a coward, he escaped!" Amid the smug shouts of the Roman soldiers, the Qin crossbowmen entered the fire as they expected.

The fire burned the armor without mercy.

Immediately turned Qin into a burning man. However, the emaciated Qin pawn who was burned by the fire did not scream, his footsteps suddenly moved quickly, and the target was actually straight for the two Roman opponents. (To be continued.) )
