Chapter 149 first encounter
December 26, 260 BC, morning.
Early this morning, the Qin soldiers in Yewang City gathered as early as usual.
But if you look closely, you will find that every Qin soldier has a look of excitement and expectation on his face. Even the speed of walking seems to be a little faster than usual. The voices of the generals and officers are even louder than usual. The waves during the call are quite tremendous.
Everyone was very excited, everyone was very excited.
The reason for this is actually very simple, because war is coming.
If there is anything else in this world that can be loved by the old Qin people, it is definitely a war.
Since Shang Yang's reform and the establishment of the military title system, after the efforts of the four Qin kings, the old Qin people today can be said to be "cowardly in private fights and brave in public warfare", and they are all war madmen.
What "there is a golden house in books, and the beauty of the book is a beautiful woman"? It does not exist.
Want a luxurious mansion? Please go to the battlefield and exchange it for the enemy's head.
Want a vast land? Please go to the battlefield and exchange it for the enemy's head.
Want to be promoted to a higher position? Please go to the battlefield and exchange it for the enemy's head.
In this era, if you want to have a wealth and prosperity for yourself and your family, you don’t need to find any relationship or have a strategy. You just need to have weapons in your hands and weapons that can kill people.
Shang Yang clearly stipulated that "a man who was killed in battle would be a magistrate, and he would be paid 50 stones a year, and he would be a house in one place and a person would be kept."
Yes, you read it right, don’t be 998, and don’t be 666. An enemy’s head can make you the lowest-level title of “commander” among the twenty-level military merit titles, and then you will have an annual salary, a mansion and a slave.
What do you say is not enough? Come on, we still have it below.
"When killing two enemy heads in battle, you can be the title of the superior, you can get two houses, three cows, and two servants."
This is the benefit of the second level of "upload".
OK, continue to kill, kill a few more heads, and you can reach the third level "Zhan Niao".
When it reaches the level of Zanniao, there will be more slaves in the land and houses. You can also "bring a horse in groups" and tie a ribbon on the horse to show that I have a status. What kind of priests are you, there is nothing left.
Next, we will reach the fourth level and "no update". When we reach the level of not updating, all the treatments above will be added and will be increased. Then, this level can be "no charges and updates", and we don't have to take turns serving as the level three above.
···
Simply put, this military merit system is equivalent to a VIP system. What kind of officials created are VIP level 1, VIP level 2· to VIP level 20·.
Want to start from scratch and become a general? Boy, our Shang Jun has already pointed out the way for you to go to the battlefield to cut off the heads of those damn enemies who dare to fight against our Great Qin Empire, and then take their heads back to receive your VIP title!
Recharge money, oh no... Recharge the head, and you will become stronger!
The neighbors who were arrogant in front of you now have to salute respectfully when they see you. The girls in the village who were big but were very generous but disdainful of you now have charming eyes and their faces are full of spring when they see you.
With military merits, you can have everything!
So when the news of the enemy's arrival came, not only Sima Geng, the chief general, was very excited, but in fact, the Qin soldiers in the entire Yewang City were about to be excited.
Oh my God, the earth, I look forward to the stars and the moon, and finally waited for a wave of enemies.
It was in such a high enthusiasm that the Qin army soldiers completed the assembly orderly one by one, and then drove out of the Yewang City, setting up a formation on the plain outside the Yewang City, preparing to fight the 100,000 army led by Wei Wuji.
Just as Sima Geng led the Qin soldiers out of the Yewang City, a huge army also drove from the south outside the Yewang City.
At the forefront of this army, a green flag with extremely bright colors fluttered in the wind, and a big word "Han" was written on it. It was the 50,000 Korean troops led by Jin Mou.
It is not just a flag, but the two colors red and green can also be seen in the armor, ribbons and linings of the Korean soldiers. Red represents the inheritance of the Three Jins to the Jin State, and green is deduced by the Koreans themselves, or the so-called "wood virtue" deceived by the Five Elements.
Soon, the Qin army and the Han army joined forces to form an army of 100,000 people, and slowly lined up to wait.
The Qin and Han coalition forces did not wait too long.
About a quarter of an hour later, a faint vibration suddenly came from the ground at the foot of the coalition forces.
With the emergence of this vibration, a crowd of people suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.
One after another, the cavalry of Wei State jumped out from below the horizon, with a small number of chariots mixed in the middle. Thousands of horses galloped at the same time, and the horse's hooves rolled up countless smoke and dust, filling everyone's sight.
On the chariot in the center, a bright red flag flying fiercely, with a big word "Wei" written on it.
When the cavalry and chariot troops in the forefront appeared, the main infantry force of the Wei army also appeared.
These Wei soldiers were all wearing black outer armor and red linings. The black and red colors looked quite similar to the style of Qin army armor, but the leather helmets worn on the heads of the Wei soldiers clearly illustrate the difference between the two.
The Wei army was like a surging wave, and the boundless black tide slowly rushed towards the Qin and Han alliance.
Even though they knew that the enemy was still a long distance away, many soldiers in the Qin and Han coalition could not help but subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands and stared at the enemy in front of them.
Since he did not receive the order, the Qin and Han coalition forces did not choose to attack immediately.
Sima Geng, the chief general of the coalition, stared at the flying Wei military flag with his eyes. Although the distance was still far, Sima Geng knew very well in his heart that Wei Wuji, the chief general of the Wei army, must be behind the military flag.
A sneer slowly appeared on Sima Geng's face.
"Mr. Xinling? Today I will let the people of the world know that no one can take charge of my great Qin army!"
Sima Geng was very patiently waiting for the arrival of the Wei army, and he was not in a hurry, because the Wei army had not yet begun to enter the attack range of the Qin and Han coalition forces.
As the saying goes, the horses were killed when they were running, so although the Wei army had already appeared, it took almost two quarters of an hour before the army slowly came to the Qin and Han alliance.
Just as the Wei army stopped and was about to set up a formation, Sima Geng suddenly spoke.
Chapter completed!
