Chapter Forty-Three: Expedition! Conquest of Shushan
In 218 BC, the third year of Qin Shi Huang.
The spring of this year has begun, and the soldiers have broken the ice from the dusty cold, and the soldiers of Daqin have already been prepared, and they are about to embark on the road to conquer Shushan.
"Xiaolan, how about this set of armor?" Zimo happily showed off, he put on a good armor, which was given to him by His Majesty the Emperor, and although this armor was a little light, it was very hard and had enough toughness.
It was a little different from what the soldiers were wearing, even if it was usually dressed, it was not as bulky as theirs.
"It's good for the master to wear anything, but I've also heard that the terrain of Shushan is treacherous, and the master must be careful." Although she had known it for a long time, Xiaolan was still reluctant to hold Zimo.
"Okay, it's going to be fine, you'll just go home when I'm gone, it's not safe to be alone here." Zimo Dao.
Xiaolan nodded, with some tears in her eyes, reluctantly, and finally tidied up the corners of Mo's clothes.
"Alright, I'm leaving." Zimo gently patted Xiaolan's back.
Xiaolan went to bring the white horse that came to Xianyang City with Zimo, and whispered in its ear, "Horse, take care of the master on the road!" ”
…………
After coming out of the house, it was not appropriate to ride a horse in the city, so Zimo had been leading this white horse, and they had already been familiar with each other, and this white horse also understood what Zimo meant.
Out of the east of the city, Zimo rode on his horse, tied Luban's sword around his waist, and galloped all the way to the distance.
The soldiers had already prepared everything, and after Zimo came, he went to find the fruit general, and this time he went out with the fruit general's subordinates.
"Hehe, brother is here." The fruit general smiled, although the fruit general was still complaining to Zimo before, but he was still in high spirits when the expedition was imminent, and his fat sword was still full of confidence.
"Mm-hmm, I'm not late." He tied up his unsociable white horse and entered the schoolyard himself.
"Of course not."
There are not many cavalry this time, and there are only some symbolic arrangements, but their war horses are all jujube, while Zimo is white, although they run fast, but they have not undergone professional training, and they are definitely unreliable to charge into battle.
There is a large school field in the east of the city, and tens of thousands of Great Qin soldiers have wiped their swords with Pei Tu, and Chang Ge has already wiped the crystal, just waiting for the emperor's order, they can go on the expedition.
Zimo stood beside General Fruit, and deliberately glanced at the soldiers next to him, a little far away from their team, there was a special military formation, they were all wearing black armor, and there was a mask on their faces, this is the very famous heavy armor warrior of the Qin State!
But there are not many heavy armor soldiers, although such soldiers are much stronger in defense and attack, but their mobility is too poor, and it is very disadvantageous in a dangerous place like Shushan, so they symbolically brought a thousand people.
The soldiers in the school field have been assembled, and several strong men of the Yin and Yang family have also come, and they are not among the soldiers, but standing on top of the school field, looking high.
There are four strong people from the Yin and Yang family, namely the Moon God, the Star Soul, the Great Si Ming, and the Young Si Ming, and in addition to them, there are dozens of disciples from various departments, and their origins can be judged from their clothes.
After the school field was all ready, Zimo saw that Lord Fengchang Zhang was standing on a high place, his main job was usually the sacrificial ceremony, and of course he would not be absent on this occasion.
Lord Zhang said some official words according to the custom, and then asked His Majesty the Emperor to say a few words, Qin Shi Huang was still as domineering as ever, and his words and demeanor showed the domineering spirit of the emperor.
Zimo saw the emperor again below, maybe in Yingzheng's eyes, the conquest of Shushan was just a war that was not insignificant, but for the soldiers present, many of them might stay on the battlefield of Shushan forever.
Many of the soldiers present met the emperor for the first time, and since ancient times, as long as the emperor personally supervised the battle, the enthusiasm of the soldiers would be extraordinarily high.
"Great Qin soldiers, invincible! Great Qin soldiers, invincible! ”
After the soldiers in the school field saw Qin Shi Huang, the atmosphere was immediately mobilized, the emperor finished ordering troops, and the army was ready to march.
"The whole army is on the march!"
General Meng Tian gave an order, and all the 20,000 soldiers present were pulled, yes, this time the general who commanded the troops was still Meng Tian, he traveled all over the mountains and rivers of the six countries, made countless meritorious achievements, and was also the most valued general by His Majesty the First Emperor.
After Meng Tian's order, all the soldiers turned around and headed southwest.
Zimo is now the deputy general on General Guo's side, and he is only a big general in the army, and he is also qualified to ride a horse, but he is more conspicuous.
The army marched towards Shushan in the southwest, and after Qin Shi Huang saw it for a while, he turned and went back.
"Brother, this time we have made a beautiful difference, we are General Meng Tian's personal guards! Do you know what that means! General Fruit said with some meaning and Zimo next to him.
"As long as we can go back alive, the meritorious service is naturally not small, and we will definitely be able to become an official and become a knight! Isn't it? Eldest brother! Zimo said in a deep voice.
The fruit general sighed, and the two rode side by side, speaking in a loud voice, and the voice was chaotic in the military formation, so there was no need to worry about being heard by people with ulterior motives.
"If you are the personal guard of other generals, it is really beautiful, but General Meng Tian is different, he is brave and strategic, he is always the first to charge into battle, and all the combat exploits that follow him are fought with real skills." General Fruit said.
This point inevitably made Zimo awe-inspired, generals who sympathize with soldiers are often good generals, and Meng Tian himself is also very strong.
His strength is a little different from Gai Nie's strength, Gai Nie is still a Jianghu man in the final analysis, and most of Meng Tian's martial arts are honed on the battlefield, practicing courage, wisdom, and skills in thousands of troops!
The army began to march, the pace was surprisingly fast, Xianyang City soon disappeared from view, and it took dozens of miles in the morning, but Zimo was on a horse and was not tired, but this batch of white horses was too conspicuous, and Zimo also felt a little unnatural.
Zimo noticed that there was such a special group of beings in the army, they did not wear armor, but wore colorful clothes, they were a group of disciples of the Yin and Yang family, and there were dozens of people.
In addition to these dozens of disciples, there were also dozens of weird guys in the shadows, that is, the group of black-clothed people wearing cloaks, Zimo frowned slightly, the Yin and Yang family actually went back to the same road with Qin Jun, originally thought that they would go alone.
