Although they were both after Yin and Shang stubborn ministers, Qin's ancestors were even worse than Zhao's. Zhao Zaofu had already obtained a fief and became a doctor's favorite minister, but Qin was still serving as a guard and a horse herder of the Zhou family.

After King Xuan of Zhou ascended the throne, he took Qin Zhong as his doctor and ordered him to attack Xirong. Qin Zhong died in the battle with Xi Rong. King Xuan of Zhou called his son Qin Zhuang Gong Kun and five brothers to return the seven thousand young men to them and let them continue to attack Rong. Xi Rong expelled Baili, got the dog hill, and got the title of "Doctor Xidi"!

This is the origin of Qin, the origin of blood and fire.

In the dark, Zipu, the commander of the Qin army, knew that hundreds of years ago, Qin Zhong, Qin Zhuanggong, Qin Xianggong, Qin Wengong must have brought his soldiers and sang the generous and tragic Qin song. In order to let the Qin people smash the world from the Hewei Plain where Rong and Di mixed, they resolutely marched towards their battlefield.

In today's Hexi battlefield, there are also 30,000 Qin people. They are farmers and hunters who face the loess and turn their backs to the sky. Their families are not rich, and there is no difference between father and son. A few people from a family are crowded into one room, so the eastern princes contempt. Said them: "same customs as Rong and Di", and the style of private fights is prevalent, and the number of bloodshed every year is uncountable.

But it was these Qin people who were tainted with barbarism. After taking up arms, they became immortal warriors!

The song that Zhou Tianzi ordered the five brothers to attack Xirong is still sung today.

"Why don't you say no clothes? Robe with your son..."

Zipu got up and 30,000 people sang in unison in dry Qin Opera:

"Wang Yuxing, repair my spear, and share the hatred with my son!"

This is a poem that sees death as home, and it is also an indomitable song. After the song, the Qin people launched a charge...

However, this heroic Qin song was heard by the Zhao cavalry and Yulin guards such as Youcheng, who were watching the battle from a distance, except for the louder voice, it was of no use...

...

"Will the Qin people go to war..." Youcheng stepped on his stirrups and stood on tiptoe as he watched the two armies take over.

Of course, the purpose of Zhao Wuxi sending them here was not to support the Wei family, but to observe the battle between Qin and Wei nearby.

"On the battlefield, knowing yourself and your enemy can help you to fight a hundred battles without impending danger. You can see with your eyes, listen with your ears, and think with your brain. You can give the battle process, the enemy's tactics, strengths and weaknesses to the battle. I'll note it down!"

Youcheng and this group of Yulin guards are the grassroots officers that Zhao Wuxi focused on training. Whether it is the level of education or the familiarity with the military, they are not comparable to those who are half-way monks.

Of course, Zhao Wuxi didn't say who was the "enemy" between Wei and Qin, so Youcheng and the others looked east for a while and west for a while. Before the battle, they came to the conclusion: Wei Shi and Qin people, the outcome should depend on Qi San.

Because Wei's tactics are too similar to Zhao's, especially Wei's central army, there are thousands of heavy armored soldiers called "Wei Wuzu", although in Youcheng's view, only Zhao Wuzu's Crude imitation, but its equipment probably reached the level of Zhao's before the First World War in Wenshui.

Wei Jun had already set up a square formation, which was different from Zhao's large formation. They used Wei Xianzi's five formations, which were not tough enough, but more flexible. But in Youcheng's view, if Zhao Wei fought on the plain, the "five formations" with a relatively thin depth would definitely be crushed into pieces by Zhao's spear and strong shield.

It's a pity that the enemy they faced today was not Zhao Bing, but Qin Zu.

Facing the seemingly chaotic charge of the Qin people, Wei's middle army remained motionless. The soldiers in the front row erected their large sculls one by one, while the rear row fired their crossbows forward. Wei Nuo was not as strong as Zhao Nu, but It is also a good choice with bows and arrows.

Qin people also have a small number of crossbows. After all, many of them are veterans who participated in the battle to save Chu. It was in that war that the craftsman Qin of Chu State invented the individual hand crossbow. But more bows are used. In addition to the Weihe Plain, Qin State is surrounded by a bunch of virgin forests, which have the advantage of rubber and leather. "Qin Bow" is a good bow for well-known princes, but only a few good archers have it, and the rest Most of the bows used by humans are simple single-piece small bows, and there are many kinds of arrows, iron, copper, stone, bone, arrow clusters of different ages and textures flying between the two armies.

So often before the Qin people could shoot at the Wei army, they were shot over by crossbow arrows, like wheat falling in the wind...

The people who rushed to the front of the Wei army were also stabbed by spears and halberds, unable to move forward. It was like a huge wave bombarding the reef, and the attack of the Qin people was blocked from the beginning.

"The Qin army is about to lose..." Youcheng and the others felt a little boring. He felt that the Qin people's tactics were not as brilliant as Dai Rong, who had played against him, but the Wei army was worth noting. If the army fights more battles and accumulates more experience, the Wei family will be the great enemy of the Zhao family!

...

At the same time, Pu, the eldest son of Qin State's concubines, was also in a hurry...

From Zipu's point of view, Qin people always seem to have a tragic fate.

A long time ago, their ancestors lost the battle in Muye, lost the evil, lost the status of the lords and nobles, and plummeted.

After several generations of humiliation and hard work, they finally became "Doctors of the West Frontier" and gained a certain amount of strength, which means that they have the capital to be used by others. The Qin people, who had an extraordinary relationship with Hou, were transformed and became the hero of King Qin.

Duke Xiang of Qin was successful in escorting King Ping of Zhou to Dongqian, and was named princes, finally restoring their status in the Yin and Shang dynasties. Since the day when Qin was officially founded, the Qin people have been fighting, fighting with Quan Rong, Xi Rong, and Bai Zhai, and finally broke through the siege, reconnected with the royal family in the east, and received the most wonderful gift: Zong Zhou's hometown.

At that time, Qin State had a tendency to dominate, but it was blocked by the rise of Jin State. Duke Mu of Qin dreamed of getting Hexi, so he did not hesitate to continuously sponsor the brothers of Duke Hui of Jin and Duke Wen of Jin to return to China, but he was repeatedly deceived by the Jin people. The Qin people suffered blood loss in the battles of war and war.

This made them understand one thing, and it became a rule that Qin people believed in for hundreds of years later: what cannot be obtained by diplomatic means, it can only be captured with swords!

As a result, the three heroes of the Qin state were defeated in two battles, and they, along with themselves, were taken prisoners and suffered humiliation. But Duke Mu of Qin did not accuse them, but the official was reinstated. On the third time, Duke Mu of Qin personally went on the expedition, and he said to the Chinese doctors who came to see them off, if this expedition could not be won, Ren Hao would never return to China to see Kun's father and brothers!

With the belief of invincibility rather than death, the Qin people finally won, won the corpse of the battle of Hexi, Fengwei, and returned with honor, and then conquered the Xirong, destroyed the country twelve, extended the land for thousands of miles, and the emperor also sent officials to the front. Come to congratulate, although it is not to say "hegemony", but the status of one of the four great powers is a certainty... In this continuous search and recovery, they gradually grew in Yongzhou, and had a culture and pride that was different from that of the eastern princes.

It’s a pity that after Duke Mu of Qin, Qin State was besieged by Jin State, and there was no chance to advance eastward. , as the enemy of the hegemon, they have even been deprived of the power of alliance with the eastern princes, becoming increasingly narrow and closed...

As Qin's great concubine, Zipu finally got the opportunity to help Chu State to expel Wu people, regain Qin's status as a great country, and take advantage of the civil strife of Jin State's six ministers to return to Hexi. Today, 30,000 Qin people are also fighting against the enemy in the wilderness without fear, in order to defend this fertile soil that has been lost and regained!

But looking at this situation, is the Qin army about to lose?

Zipu was not reconciled, he grabbed the drum vertebra, beat hard, pointed at Wei Jun and shouted: "Tear apart Wei Jun's array!"

His cries were hoarse and angry, the drums were tragic and manic.

Under the encouragement of the coach, the Qin people who had stagnated on the offensive shouted again and rushed towards the Wei army one after another. They still had armor in the front row, but the back row was ragged. Watching this scene, and thinking about "Qi Yue Wu Yi" and "Xiu My Armored Soldiers", you will suddenly realize.

Because the Qin people brought their own armor and even military rations, the wealthy little nobles wore better, the poor commoners were in tatters, and some people simply charged naked, and the weapons were not uniform.

They just recklessly slaughtered the well-equipped Wei army five formations, like a group of wild horses running wild.

Youcheng was stunned: "This is not a battle, this is desperate."

What he said was right, "The Qin formation is scattered and fights itself." This is Wu Qi's evaluation of the Qin army. This army, who can't form a formation, can only fight with hard work.

The Wei army was different. They were deeply influenced by the Zhao army and were quickly mobilizing. Unlike the Qin people who fought in chaos, the Wei army was more about formation and discipline in battle. However, because the commander is not a military genius, "Wei Wuzun" did not fight any tough battles after he became an army - if Wei Ju shouted "Righteousness is in the East Army" in the Battle of Changping, it would not be counted as a blow. As a result, some are rigid, and the evolution and mobilization are rather blunt.

On the other hand, the madness of the Qin army has had a certain effect. They have been fighting against the Rong and Di for hundreds of years, and they have brought the whole nation to the extreme. Their personal abilities are not inferior to the most elite Wei soldiers. A group of people screamed and jumped into the gap of the Wei army's formation, and then used aggressive combat skills to stab the weapon into the enemy's soft underbelly, and then they were also stabbed to death, one life for another, under this madness , It really messed up the Wei Jun array a bit.

Under the deadly attack of the Qin people, the Wei army could not help but feel a little astonished. After all, they were small in number and the depth of the five formations was too thin, making them more suitable for fighting on hills. On such a large plain, whether it could stop the madness of the tens of thousands of people charging is still a problem. question.

So Wei Ju's heart became tense, and he used the reserves on both wings to strengthen the depth of the central part, and at the same time double-team the Qin people.

However, just as the Wei army commanded the flag to wave, an interesting change occurred in the battle situation.

"Ah woo woo woo..."

Wei Ju's eyes narrowed and he felt something was wrong...

Youcheng suddenly raised his head because he heard the familiar sound of a horn...

But seeing the woods in the northwest of the battlefield, countless birds flew away in panic...

ps: there is another chapter in the evening

Off topic, many readers said that Qin was weak at this time, and Wei Jun should easily defeat them. July, you are nonsense. "Qin was weak from Duke Mu to Shang Yang's reform period~lightnovelpub.net~ In fact, those who have this idea are pitted by the description in "The Great Qin Empire". The Qin state in the late Spring and Autumn Period happened to be a small rise. Expect.

The first was the battle to save Chu in 506 BC, when Zipu Zihu and handsome chariots supported Chu in five hundred chariots. "Zipu said, "I don't know the way of Wu." The people of Chu fought against the people of Wu first, and Ziji met them, and defeated the husband, King Yuyi. In the seventh month of the autumn, Ziqi and Zipu destroyed the Tang Dynasty...the Wu division was defeated. The Chu division was at Yongli, and the Qin division was defeated by the Wu division. "--"Zuo Zhuan. Dinggong Five Years"

The Wu army had a strong army built by Sun Wu and Wu Zixu, and could defeat the Wu people. The Qin army's combat effectiveness was not as weak as later generations imagined.

As for Qin's national strength at this time, it was probably in the period of Li Gonggong more than ten years after the novel's time: in the second year of Li Gonggong, the people of Shu came to bribe. Sixteen years, by the moat river. Attack Dali with 20,000 soldiers and take its king city. In the 21st year, Pinyang, Chuxian County. Jin took Wucheng. In the twenty-fourth year, Jin rebelled, killed Bo Zhi, and divided his country into Zhao, Han, and Wei. Twenty-five years later, Zhikai and Yi people came to run. In the thirty-third year, he attacked Yiqu and captured its king. -- "Qin Benji"

During this period, Qin was in a state of rejuvenation, and it expanded to the surrounding areas. The decline of Qin was due to several generations of civil strife after Li Gonggong's death. Qin Wu, who was still fighting in the Spring and Autumn Period, had the strength to fight back. To be honest, it was still a bit difficult for Wei Shi, who was not yet as strong as one-third in history, to easily hang Qin. (To be continued.)
