Chapter 5: The Might of the Divine Beast
readx;? Words written before the editor:
The Qin army was mainly staffed by officers, in other words, the highest commander of the infantry often became the commander of a force. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
By the end of the Qin period, the military system of the Qin State had been quite mature, and each county soldier was often a mixed branch rather than a separate army.
However, there is a problem with the military system of the Qin army: Is the number of people in a group of 10 or 11? Five people are in a team, and there is one commander in the army, and one person in the two teams is one in the army. Well, that's a bit of a problem right here. That is, if there are ten people for one, then the chief of the team must be a captain. But in such a situation, there are certain problems in command. But if the chief is an additional person, then this problem is easy to solve.
Well, Ben Wolf has found a lot of information, but none of these historical materials clearly say what the situation is. Therefore, this book chooses the latter statement, that is, there are eleven people, including one and even the chief. After all, such command effectiveness is much better.
By analogy, the number of personnel including the commander of a tun is 56, and the establishment of a hundred generals is 113, and the establishment of a hundred generals is about 120 people, including the auxiliary adjutants who have been assigned since the beginning of the hundred generals.
In fact, this also shows that the establishment of the army for thousands of years has officially laid the foundation during the Qin Dynasty. Well, of course, the change in the base is the most fundamental difference.
As far as the current squad establishment is concerned, the number of people in a strengthened squad is about 12 people, which can be said to be very appropriate to the establishment of the Qin Dynasty. Of course, there are two biggest differences between the two:
1: A strengthened class has a principal and deputy squad leader, and a shi, according to the function, should be a principal and two deputies.
2: A reinforced version of the composition is multi-purpose. However, during the Qin Dynasty, it was either a melee class, or a crossbowman or an auxiliary class, which can be said to be the biggest difference. For example, the kind of mixed arrangement of the bow and the horse was basically impossible in ancient times. Because such a combination simply cannot be effectively commanded.
In other words, in the Qin Dynasty, a county lieutenant could command about 500 officers, plus not too many knights and light charioters.
Well...... In this case, the number of soldiers in a small county should be around six hundred. Unless the other units are a single unit, they will also be divided into this situation.
In addition, don't underestimate the ancient weapon killing process, many ancient weapons, bows, crossbows and arrows are often a mixture of barbs and bloodletting tanks. The unearthed Qin Dynasty melee cold weapon, the standard design of the bloodletting tank.
In this case, a crossbow bolt like the one above, if it hits the body, it is basically a dead word. Because the barb design makes it difficult for people to easily pull out the crossbow arrow. Unless someone wears a set of silk inner armor with a certain toughness, it reduces the barb damage from entering the body.
Chun Yufang didn't help Qi Tingchang pull out the crossbow arrow, the most important thing is that he knew very well that pulling out the crossbow arrow in this case, pulling out the crossbow arrow, Qi Tingchang would be killed on the spot nine times out of ten, and that kind of heavy bleeding could not be stopped at all.
It's like the random arrow pulling scene in some novels, in fact, it is blind breaking, and the arrows of the ancient army are not so easy to pull.
In addition, the Qin Dynasty's alchemy process was not very backward, and many military doctors or Lang Zhong knew how to make pills or powders with one or two hands.
Because the so-called alchemy itself is a doorway that evolved from ancient alchemy. In a sense, alchemy and alchemy have not made great progress for thousands of years, and the main thing in ancient Chinese alchemy was to keep the finished medicine for a longer time. After all, many times you can't let the military doctor in the army search for medicinal herbs in the war zone and then boil the decoction. Therefore, alchemy came into being in this situation.
Well...... Although the effect of the pills or powders made by alchemy is not as good as that of decoction, it is better than nothing.
Below is the text.
...................................................... Body line................................................
Although something unexpected happened to Zhang Jiashi, for Zhang Jiashi, as the most unlucky guy he had encountered in his life, Qi Tingchang was also shot while lying down...... Ahem, no, it should be said that people who can be hit by arrows when they dodge, what else can he say?
If you have to count it, a white wolf who is now gnawing on a roast chicken should be the most responsible.
Hawkers, the situation at that time was true, but people, including Ying Yuelian, never mentioned such a thing, so they didn't have to worry about it. Because these days, Ying Yuelian's relationship with Qi Huan'er, who has a white linen cloth tied to her head, is getting better and better. After all, Qi Huan'er couldn't ride a horse, and she encountered such a thing, which made Ying Yuelian's sympathy overflow.
Zhang Jiashi also complained one night, that is, he had not seen such a side of Ying Yuelian.
Hawkers, Zhang Jiashi, who didn't seem to have learned his lesson at all, once again let out a scream like killing a pig under the claws of Ying Yuelian.
Obviously, Ying Yuelian continued to use his famous stunt, the claw of Princess Daqin, and taught Zhang Jiashi what it means to be a disaster.
However, the play between the two made Qi Huan'er, who looked obviously bad, suddenly sneer.
Well, for this unexpected gain, Zhang Jiashi, who was in tears, and Ying Yuelian glanced at each other, and they both felt the other party's surprise and relief. After all, both of them were worried about whether Qi Huan'er would have any problems if she continued like this.
Especially Ying Yuelian, she treats Qi Huan'er as her sister.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Zhang Jiashi and his entourage, who passed through Dangjun and entered Sichuan County, soon inquired about the location of Pei County from the ears of a group of merchants.
Nearly five days of rushing made Zhang Jiashi and his party a little tired, not to mention Qi Huan'er, who gritted her teeth and held on. Therefore, Zhang Jiashi plans to go to Pei County tonight to rest for a while, and then go to Pei County tomorrow to meet the heroes of Pei County who have been passed down through the ages.
It's just that Zhang Jiashi, who encountered an accident, had to change his original plan.
This matter has nothing to do with people, because Zhang Jiashi encountered a group of demon beasts that he also recorded in the chapter of the Qingyu Spirit Book, a monster similar to a goat-roe owl.
There is also an introduction to this kind of roe deer owl in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Classic of the North Mountains": "Its shape is like a sheep's body and human face, its eyes are in the armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, its sound is like a baby, its name is roe deer, and it is a cannibal." ā
From the introduction, it can be seen that the roe deer owl is not a good stubble.
And what Zhang Jiashi and his party saw was that more than a dozen roe deer owls were actually besieging a small town. Such a scale made Zhang Jiashi very worried. Because the strength of the roe deer owl is not weak, if it is one-on-one, he is still sure to win, but a dozen roe deer owls are not an opponent he can deal with at all.
And although he now has thirty-five manpower, except for some low-level professionals and pure cavalry troops, including Ying Yuelian, Yao Yong, Chen Heng and others, there are only nine people who have the strength to fight.
In other words, once the others fight these roe deer owls, it will be a matter of bad luck.
"Damn, why are there so many such. After receiving Su Teng's report, Zhang Jiashi muttered such a sentence.
Ying Yuelian didn't know what a roe deer owl was, but it was the first time she saw Zhang Jiashi with such a solemn expression, and she said in confusion: "Are these things difficult to deal with?"
"It's not too hard, I still have a good chance of winning one-on-one, but there are too many of these things. Even if we all go together, we basically go in for nothing. Zhang Jiashi shook his head, and then planned to lead the team around the town.
It is normal for him to have such intentions, after all, he is not a person now, but the leader of a team, and he must be responsible for his team.
But at this moment, several professionals rushed towards Zhang Jiashi, and they were followed by nearly ten blood-stained roe deer owls.
When Zhang Jiashi found out about this, Zhang Jiashi believed that these roe deer owls should have also discovered them.
"I'm going to do it, these people are looking for death!! Zhang Jiashi looked at these professionals who rushed over in a daze, and then shouted: "People who don't have eighth-class strength, all run to the northwest!"
After Zhang Jiashi finished speaking, he took the lead in riding forward.
......
The other party's situation was very embarrassing, a warlock holding a knight's waist, his left hand was bitten off by something, and he was covered in blood, fainted because of excessive blood loss, and fell off the horse directly.
A roe deer owl quickly rushed up, and then bit the head of the sorcerer, who had already fainted, and pulled it hard.
In the blood mist, a knight who looked back and saw this scene shouted angrily: "Second brother!!"
"Never mind it, we're all going !!to die if we are caught up by these monsters," a knight who had strained his mount near him roared.
They are a group of middle- and low-level professionals who have completed their tasks and plan to rush back to Sanchuan County to govern Luoyang. Yesterday they rested in this town, but they definitely did not expect to encounter these roe deer owls attacking the town.
Although they and some of the professionals who originally lived in this town had killed two such monsters, they had to fight to escape from the town because of the difference in strength.
The individual strength of these heads and sheep bodies is not too strong, but there are too many of them, and the entire team of nearly ten professionals, except for the six of them, the others, along with several low-level professionals in the town, all died tragically in the mouths of these monsters.
They fled from the road, and they didn't expect that there were people a few hundred meters in front of them.
It can be said that this was nothing more than a casual misunderstanding.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi doesn't think so. He wanted to run, but he knew very well that the man on the horse was at an innate disadvantage compared to these roe deer owls.
So he quickly made a judgment not to let those who didn't have much combat power join the attacking team.
Fighting against monsters, those who do not have combat power will only hinder the battle, and may even put others in danger. Since this is the case, it is better for these people to flee as far away as possible to save bad trouble.
And when the knights saw a few people rushing out of the woods, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned. The knight at the head used his slightly recovered true qi to shout loudly: "Hurry up, these things are not easy to mess with!!"
"Huh?" Zhang Jiashi, who was riding on the red cloud, was slightly stunned when he heard this, because the other party said this sentence because he didn't know that they were in the woods to say this.
"Thinking wrong?" Zhang Jiashi shook his head, then directly took out a four-stone hard bow placed next to Hongyun's retreat, quickly mounted a three-edged arrow, aimed at a roe deer owl more than a hundred meters away, and pulled the bowstring hard. A three-edged arrow that emitted a red edge quickly broke through the air.
The bow is different from the crossbow, the range of the bow is quite limited, and it consumes the physical strength of the shooter, but the bow also has a place where the crossbow cannot be compared, that is, in the hands of professionals, the lethality and accuracy of the bow are a little better than the same crossbow.
Because the crossbow cannot use internal force to bless the arrows and increase the lethality.
However, the range of the crossbow and the physical strength saved are also incomparable to the bow. More importantly, it is easier and faster to train a passing crossbowman than a passing archer.
This is also the reason why the Qin army has more crossbowmen than archers.
And Zhang Jiashi finally became familiar with the skills of the crossbowman, and he also made considerable improvements in bow and arrow archery, especially in terms of accuracy.
About two seconds later, this bow and arrow, which contained the internal force of the fire attribute, directly hit the knee of the fastest roe deer owl.
Zhang Jiashi knew very well that he missed the shot, but the result was not much worse, because the roe deer owl's left front leg was directly shot off, and this roe deer owl lost its balance due to the shooting of its left foot, and after tossing on the ground for a distance, it let out a burst of crying like a baby, but it was much more difficult to hear, and it was extremely sharp.
After hearing such a cry, the speed of the war horses of those people increased a lot significantly, because these war horses knew very well the meaning of these cries.
Hongyun was not afraid of such a scream, but she felt Zhang Jiashi quickly kick her horse's belly, making her quickly turn around and run.
Although she didn't understand why Zhang Jiashi did this, she was not afraid of these ugly roe deer owls. But after she turned around, she also felt a very powerful aura.
So she quickly turned away.
"Run!" Zhang Jiashi quickly said to the subordinates who rushed over to support.
The others didn't understand why, but a grass dragonfly controlled by Zhang Jiashi with Dao Technique saw that there was actually a high-level demon beast in the town that he didn't know at all, and he couldn't run away.
"I'm going, is the feng shui here so bad? Not only roaring, but even the Gu carving has appeared. Zhang Jiashi roared out this sentence in his heart.
If the roe deer owl can only attack others with his own body, and can also use kite tactics to slowly toss one by one, then the Gu Eagle with powerful long-range attack spells and good melee ability is not an existence that he can deal with at all.
Gu Eagle, described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, is a demon beast with three eagle heads and a human face, the three eagle heads correspond to fire, water, and earth attributes, and the physique of the Gu Eagle is also very strong in terms of melee ability. At the very least, the opponent's claws can directly cut a fully armored soldier into several pieces.
In the description of the strange beasts in the Qingyu Spirit Book, the Gu Eagle is one of the most difficult demon beasts to deal with except for the four fierce beasts. Zhang Jiashi knew very well that all of them were in it, and maybe they wouldn't be able to hurt this Gu Eagle.
Of course, if no one else is there, Zhang Jiashi, with the help of Hongyun and the white wolf, is three against one, and takes out the Qingyu Spirit Book as an auxiliary prop, he still has the power to fight.
Forget it now, because now there are not only Gu Eagles, but also a dozen roaring. This situation is simply the rhythm of letting him run away.
He didn't patronize and beckoned his people to run away, but glanced back at the people and said loudly, "Come with us!!"
If you look at the ground from high in the sky, you will see a few clouds of smoke and dust, which are slowly raised in the northwest direction at different distances, and then disappear.
And Zhang Jiashi, who was running away, of course didn't know what was going on in this town.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
The town's main road was littered with blood stains and corpse remains. And a Gu eagle was slowly pecking at the body of a deceased.
A young man dressed in white and with white hair slowly appeared next to this Gu Eagle out of thin air, and said a sentence: "Oh, you naughty guy, you actually ran out without permission, and you did these things, if you are discovered by those old immortals, I'm afraid I'll be in big trouble." ā
"Hmph, since you know it yourself, then why did you violate the law and raise demon beasts privately?" a cold snort came from behind the man in white.
"Oh, and I did. What are you going to do with me?Tell my father or will you carry out the punishment?" The man in white saw a middle-aged man in a blue robe, and unlike the disdain in his tone, his eyes contained endless vigilance.
The man in white knew very well the identity of this middle-aged man, as well as his strength. He knew that even if his father was with him, he was no match for this middle-aged man.
"You're either going to be self-defeating, or you're ...... The deity beats you back to your original form. The blue-robed man stood with his hands in his hands, and he said this very calmly.
"You're so confident?" the man in white shook his head, and then a strong momentum poured out of him.
After a while, in the eyes of the blue-robed middle-aged man who still did not move, what he saw was the existence of a dragon several meters long, which the Chinese called a dragon. It's just that his color is white.
At this time, the white dragon spit out the human words: "Since you have found out, then I have no choice but to ...... you"
Before Bai Long finished speaking, he felt a chill coming from the side.
He looked to the side and saw that the Gu Eagle on the ground was directly frozen on the ground and turned into a lifelike ice sculpture.
And the white dragon, who could no longer feel the aura of the Gu Eagle, roared angrily: "You!"
"Again, the deity will either give up your cultivation, or the deity will beat you back to your original form. The blue-robed man said this very calmly.
"I'll fight with you!" a blue ball of light gathered in the white dragon's mouth, but quickly dissipated.
Because, at this time, the blue-robed man gently pulled out a white dragon pill from the white dragon's dantian, and the blue-robed man who didn't care about this dragon pill shook his head: "Stupid." ā
The dragon pill, which was supposed to be indestructible, gradually revealed a trace of crack under the gentle grip of the blue-robed man.
The white dragon, on the other hand, let out a terrible scream.
"Old friend, give me a face, this matter is revealed, how about it?"
"Huh? Okay then. The blue-robed man, who heard the voice, slowly let go of his hand. He looked back and saw an old friend he hadn't seen for hundreds of years, a middle-aged man in a green suit. Behind the middle-aged man, there was a person who looked about the same as the man in Tsing Yi.
"Father, he actually made a ...... to me" The white dragon's size kept getting smaller, but he still said it forcefully.
Of course, the middle-aged man who followed behind Tsing Yi roared angrily: "You rebel!
"Father?" Bai Long obviously didn't expect such a thing, but before he could speak again, the middle-aged man directly grabbed him and disappeared out of thin air.
At this time in the town, there were middle-aged people in blue robes and middle-aged people in green clothes looking at each other.
After a while, the blue-robed middle-aged man held the slightly broken Dragon Pill, and showed a smile at the man in Tsing Yi: "Old reptile, these juniors of yours really shame your dragon clan." If it weren't for the old wolf's daughter asking for help, I'm afraid, hum ......"
The man in Tsing Yi looked at the blue-robed man unhappily, and then said, "You don't have to worry about the affairs of our dragon clan. What are you going to do with it?"
"Oh, don't you think it's a good greeting gift?"
"You believe that thing with that dead turkey (Suzaku who sneezed again after being slapped by his favorite phoenix)?"
"Oh, who knows. Anyway, the other party has the breath of the red flame, and he can't tolerate the power of the deity's water source. Don't you think it's funny that the old wolf and the daughter of the flaming nightmare would stay with each other. Sometimes, the way of heaven is like this, and it makes people fascinated. What are you going to do with me, old reptile?"
"Hmm...... We'll talk about that then. If there really is a matter of Heavenly Dao revelation, of course I should also do my part. ā
"Oh, I didn't expect you to think like this, hmph, there's no way, some things have their own rules, if those idiots in the West dare to come forward, we just have a chance to stretch our muscles. Mortals have mortal order, and we have our rules. Two non-violations. But is there really such a day?"
"You mean ......"
"Yes, hehehehe...... If those pretentious idiots dare to act, we have no chance of mercy. The blue-robed man gently put down the dragon pill in his hand, and then disappeared into the street.
And the man in Tsing Yi glanced at the dragon pill, shook his head, looked at the sky, and muttered: "Hmph, that's good, anyway, it's time to move an old bone." How will Pangu and other gods allow you to blaspheme? ā
The Tsing Yi people also disappeared into the streets. But in the place where the Tsing Yi people were, there was a roll of bamboo slips that exuded a strong breath of life.
......
Zhang Jiashi, who was running for his life, of course, didn't know what was happening in this town.
He didn't know that the white dragon was sent by his father to Mangdang Mountain not far away, and with the spirit of the mountain range, he cultivated again.
Of course, after the roe deer owls fled in all directions, a certain white wolf smelled something in the town, so when Zhang Jiashi was not paying attention, he rushed into the town that no longer smelled of blood, and took the two things left on the street.
The white wolf, who didn't do good deeds, directly collided with the ice sculpture......
Listening to the crackling sound of ice crackling behind him, a smile appeared on the corner of the white wolf's mouth......
