Chapter Thirty-Seven: Lantian Camp, Participate in the Court Meeting!
The Lantian camp is located on the Lantian Plateau, the lifeblood of the throat in the Great Qin Pass.
The Lantian Plateau with a radius of nearly 100 miles, the continuous highlands connecting the Kunshan area in the south, and overlooking the entire Weiping Plain to the north, are the south gate of the capital Xianyang.
The two avenues to the south of the hinterland of Guanzhong, one leads to the southeast Wuguan, and the other leads to the Meridian Valley of Nanshan, both of which need to pass through Lantian Plateau.
From the eyes of the soldiers, Lantian Plateau is the center of gravity of defense in the Great Qin Pass.
The Hangu Pass in the east is more than 600 miles away from the Lantian Plateau, if the strong enemy breaks through the Hangu Pass, it will take three or two days for the iron cavalry to gallop to the Lantian Plateau, and the Lantian military camp can calmly deploy a defensive line to block the strong enemy.
In the event that Wuguan is lost or a strong enemy sneaks into the Meridian Valley, the Qin army can also rely on the Lantian military camp to quickly arrange a second line of defense, and the iron cavalry can gallop for half an hour to calmly unfold on the plain.
The northwest of Lantian Plateau is less than 100 miles away from the important town of Liyang, and it is only more than 200 miles away from the capital Xianyang to the west.
With so many geographical advantages, Lantian Plateau can be called a battleground for soldiers, and the importance of its gains and losses can be seen.
Li Mu led his 5,000 heavily armored spear cavalry to gallop all night, and finally arrived at Lantian Plateau before dawn.
The sky was still dark, not yet bright, with the torch in his hand, Li Muyao saw the rolling valley in front of him, faintly glowing with fire.
When the team climbed a hill in front of them, they saw a large area of brightly lit tents, spread out in the valley.
"Enter the camp!" As soon as Li Mu raised his horsewhip, he rushed to the main gate of the Taniguchi military camp with five thousand heavily armored spear horses.
Before he reached the place of a mile in front of the camp gate, a whistle suddenly sounded, and a crossbow arrow broke through the air and suddenly fixed two feet in front of Li Muma.
Suddenly attacked, Li Mu sat down and was frightened, and the man stood up and neighed. Li Mu was also taken aback, hurriedly reined in the horse's hooves and held down the horse's head, raised his right arm to signal, and the five thousand heavily armored spearmen behind him strangled the war horses one after another, standing with their guns up, and the whole atmosphere seemed to be solemn for a while.
"Stop! Who's coming? Almost at the same time, a shout came from the dark woods on either side, and a group of knights in black and armor pounced on them.
Li Mu's brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "The five thousand heavily armored spearmen of the Great Qin Northern Army are ordered to defend the Lantian battalion!" ”
"But the five thousand heavily armored spear cavalry led by the Lord Mu!" The oncoming cavalry general asked on horseback.
"Exactly!" Li Musheng, please be serious!
I saw the cavalry generals turn over and dismount, make a military salute, and say: "The cavalry generals outside the camp will sincerely see the general!" The subordinates don't know that the Lord is leading his troops to come, and they boldly block it, please forgive the Lord for their sins! ”
The out-of-camp rangers are the cavalry squads that are usually responsible for patrolling outside the camp.
"It doesn't matter, you are also the duty! Who is General Lantian and where is it now? Li Mu waved his hand and asked.
"Returning to the general, General Lantian is General Wang Ben, Marquis of Tongwu, and he is arranging the new army of soldiers who have just entered the camp in the camp." Through the light of the fire, it can be seen that the faces of the hundred generals are resolute, and the team of knights behind them are also young and elite armor soldiers.
Lantian camp is worthy of its name!
"Quickly take me and others into the camp and meet General Lantian!" Li Mu nodded and ordered.
"No!" The hundred chiefs turned their horses' heads and passed the order for the rest of the team to continue patrolling, while he rode his horse to lead the way in front of Li Mu and his five thousand heavily armored spear horsemen.
A rammed earth wall is made of more than zhang high and low wall across the valley mouth, in the middle of a three-zhang wide fence type large wooden gate, the two sides of the low wall extend to the high ground on both sides, and there is a female wall battlement on the wall, just like a small Great Wall.
In front of the camp gate, there were two Saimen knife carts swinging left and right, and two columns of Qin soldiers guarding the camp stood guard with spears in high spirits.
Behind the camp gate, there is a large camp with a series of military tents.
Walking through the camp gate, the horse came into view of a well-renovated battlefield, with ravines and streams, and military tents arranged in a staggered manner.
Groups of armored soldiers were busy shuttling back and forth between the tents, and sometimes troop trucks drove by with equipment, grain and grass.
The 100 generals who led the way explained that it was the new army of garrisons that had just entered the camp and was distributing camp tents and food, grass and equipment.
Li Mu nodded, and continued to look intently, this big camp that once gave birth to the black army that swept the world and swept Liuhe.
After marching for more than ten miles, you can see a large camp tent made of bricks and stones, with a high vault, several piles of one-person high bonfires burning in front of the military tent, a large flag with the thickness of a bowl mouth erected high, and a soldier shuttling in and out of the military tent from time to time.
"Lord Mu, the Chinese army shogunate has arrived, and the Marquis of Tongwu should be in the shogunate at this moment!" The hundred generals who led the way gave their hands to Li Mudao.
Just as the hundred generals spoke, a sonorous voice came from the Chinese shogunate.
"But the heavily armored cavalry general who shook the northern Xinjiang arrived?" As he spoke, a general in black armor and in the prime of life walked out of the Chinese shogunate with a group of generals.
It is the Marquis of Tongwu, Wang Ben, and the generals of the Lantian battalion.
Li Mu turned over and dismounted, walked forward quickly, gave a military salute and said, "The heavy armored cavalry general Mu in the north of Great Qin has been ordered to report to his troops!" ”
Looking at the five thousand heavily armored spearmen behind Li Mu, Wang Ben nodded with satisfaction.
It is worthy of being a heavily armored spear cavalry in the northern frontier, and it is indeed a first-class elite of the Qin army!
After arranging the camp tent of 5,000 heavy armored spear cavalry, Wang Ben came to Li Mu, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You came at just the right time!" Come with me to Xianyang to attend the court meeting of my Great Qin. ”
Li Mu was slightly stunned, he just arrived at the Lantian camp to participate in the court meeting?
There is no one left in time.
However, Li Mu still nodded gratefully, after all, this was the support of the Marquis of Tongwu.
After some freshening up, the two turned over and rode towards the south gate of Xianyang, accompanied by the guards.
Xianyang, the capital of Great Qin! The hinterland of the 800-mile Qinchuan River is located in the south of the Jiuzhi Mountain and the north of the Wei River.
As the old saying goes: the south of the mountain is "yang", and the north of the water is "yang". This city is full of mountains and rivers, so it is called Xianyang.
The establishment of Xianyang began in the Xia Dynasty, with the fief of the Tai clan in the west, the jurisdiction of the Hu clan in the southeast, and the primitive clan tribes such as Yiyi in the north, which belonged to the Yongzhou of Yugong Kyushu.
During the Yin Shang period, it developed into Tai, Feng, Cheng, Dog Fang and other countries.
In the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was Bi Guo, and later changed to Qi Zhou, which was the suburbs of Feng and Hao Erjing.
The Spring and Autumn period belonged to Qin and was called Weiyang.
During the Warring States Period, in the twelfth year of Qin Xiaogong, the capital of Qin was moved nine times, and the capital was Xianyang from Liyang.
In the twenty-sixth year of Qin Shi Huang (221 BC), Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, set up counties, and placed internal history in the key places of Gyeonggi around Xianyang, and ruled all counties in Guanzhong.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Li Mu and the others have arrived on the outskirts of Xianyang City under the leadership of Wang Ben, Marquis of Tongwu.
The inner wall is the city, and the outer wall is Guo, which is the origin of the city.
The rammed earth city walls, which are several feet high and six feet thick, stand majestically, and from time to time you can see soldiers patrolling the walls.
The sun climbed the high mountains in the east, and for a time, the light swept the world, the thin and hard autumn wind shook the light dust, and on both sides of the Weishui River, the earth fog filled the world.
For a while, the vast expanse enveloped the entire Xianyang Wangcheng, and walking on the street, Li Mu only felt that the air was full of earthy smells.
On the highway in the city, cars and horses and pedestrians were in a hurry, and officials rode to the official office.
The farmer who worked at sunrise and rested at sunset went out of the house, ran to tell each other, went to the workshop, and went to the farmland in the suburbs outside the city.
At this moment, the entire Xianyang Royal City seemed to wake up all of a sudden, giving people a sense of vitality.
Looking at Li Mu on the horse, looking left and right, looking at everything around him curiously, Tongwu Marquis Wang Ben shook his head with a smile, and said: "It's better to hurry up, and when the court meeting is over, I will take you to appreciate the prosperity of the Great Qin Capital." ”
Hearing this, Li Mu smiled embarrassedly and said, "Then I will thank Tongwu Hou." ”
"It's all my own family, there's nothing to thank!"
After Wang Ben finished speaking, he immediately urged the horse to speed up, and Li Mu immediately followed.
A group of people galloped in the direction of Xianyang Palace!
