Chapter 71: Bolang's One Thread

To the west of the Gang of Gang, there is a place called Bolangsha.

Apart from a pile of deserted sand, there are no plants, trees, mountain streams, and no valleys. Looking around, the wasteland is a piece. The cattle and sheep are scattered among them, you can see it at a glance. However, in mid-spring, the wind and sand here are everywhere, like piles of waves, so it is called Bolangsha.

At this time, it was mid-spring.

The newly built pirate road can directly reach the beam.

This road was also the earliest national highway that appeared in history. It was fifty steps wide (about 69 meters), and a tree was planted every three feet on both sides of the road.

The roadbed is made of thick with metal cones.

In the middle is the part that is exclusively for the emperor to go on a car tour, and ministers, people and even relatives below the emperor have no right to use it.

The First Emperor left Xianyang in November and prepared to tour Shandong again.

After a short stop in Sanchuan County, the convoy set off and walked along the wide road toward Daliang. When he reached Honggou, Emperor Ying Zheng of the First Emperor inspected the Honggou project under construction. After delaying inside and outside, when it reached Bolangsha, it was the most windy and sand in the year. The sand and dust soared into the sky, raging and surging, causing the earth to sink.

Officials from Wuqiang (not today's Wuqiang, Hebei, in southeastern Xingyang) tried to dissuade Emperor Shin-Ergent and set off after the wind and sand subsided.

However, when the six kingdoms were pacified, the First Emperor was no longer the Ying Zheng of the past.

The emperor of the ages naturally had his extraordinary style. He ordered the chariots to go against the wind and sacrificed the gods to pacify the wind and sand. In Ying Zheng's view, he was the emperor and the First Emperor who had made great contributions to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Even the gods had to obey his edicts.

However, the wind and sand not only did not calm down, but instead became stronger and stronger.

This also forced the convoy to slow down, and officials along the way sent civilians to clean the road.

The snail-like speed made the First Emperor drowsy and sleepy on the chariot. However, the First Emperor could drowsy, but it did not mean that others were the same. At least, Zhao Gao, the CRRC Mansion Commander who was responsible for driving the chariot for the First Emperor, could not relax.

It was noon and the wind and sand were getting heavier.

It covers the sky and the sun, and it is almost impossible to see clearly what a person who is ten steps away from it looks like.

Fortunately, there are plains along the way, and there are no mountain streams and valleys. Many people's minds relax without realizing it.

When I reached Bolangsha, I saw the waves rolling.

Just when everyone felt that nothing would happen, a pile of sand outside the road suddenly moved.

A young man wearing armor rushed out of the sand.

"Zhang Gou, attack!"

Before he finished speaking, a cloud of sand and dust soared into the sky. A nearly meter tall, wide-legged and round waisted strongman climbed up from the sandy land of the Chidao Forest Protection, holding a round hammer in his hand, with chains tied to the bottom of the hammer. Only the sound of Hualingling came, the strongman roared and the hammer flew out of his hand. With a shout, a strong wind flew towards the gorgeous car in the Chidao.

Zhao Gao was always alert, with a black scarf covering his face.

The wind and sand were too strong, and he couldn't see too far. Moreover, the whistling of the wind also covered up many unusual movements.

The sound of Hualingling came, and Zhao Gao was shocked.

Turning his head and looking, he saw a black shadow flying towards the car he was driving, and he couldn't help but scream badly.

As he stepped on the car, he picked up a copper spear inserted on the shaft of the car. He swept out in front of the black shadow.

clang!

The sound of gold and iron clashing echoes in the sky.

Zhao Gao's hands were shaken to the point of breaking the tiger's mouth and bloodied. However, because of his attack, he also turned the hammer in the direction.

Bang……

The hammer hit the sub-car that followed.

The one sitting in the car was Ying Zheng's favorite concubine. After a scream, the hammer smashed the carriage, causing the favorite concubine to break the brain.

"The guard of the CRRC Mansion, protect your Majesty and arrest the assassin!"

Zhao Gao shouted loudly, the order that seemed very contradictory did not cause any confusion.

More than a hundred guards rushed forward and surrounded the First Emperor's carriage. In the convoy, dozens of six-bridle (sound pei, four-tone) vans rushed out with a roar. The drivers in the car, holding copper scepters and strong bows on their backs, made a shouting sound from their mouths.

The young man outside the forest could not see clearly the situation of Chidao.

But I heard a scream vaguely, and I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart, and turned around and left, "Zhang Gou, go quickly!"

The giant man in the woods turned his head and followed without saying a word.

But between his actions, there were sounds of chains colliding from time to time.

It turned out that the dog was hanging... to be precise, it was wrapped with two copper chains about two feet long. The copper chain was about the same as the arm of a newborn baby, and it weighed at least forty or fifty kilograms, surrounding him. There were two three-foot-long iron vertebrae on the back, one end was thin and the other end was thick. Each one weighed at least forty or fifty kilograms.

This means that the giant man carried at least 150 kilograms of heavy objects on his body.

To a large extent, it also forced his speed to slow down. However, the giant man seemed to have no feelings about the items on his body, and his actions seemed extremely normal.

The six-bridle light car rushed out of the road and saw the giant man from afar.

A guard of the CRRC mansion gently held the reins in his hand, bent his bow and arrow, and pointed his arrow at the back of the giant man.

Buzz...

Just hearing the sound of breaking through the air, you will know that the bow in the hand of the guards will not be less than six stones.

The giant man seemed to have not heard of it and continued to run forward. But no matter how fast he ran, he could not run away from the sharp arrow flying in the air.

clang!

The sharp arrow hit an iron vertebra behind the giant man.

The huge impact force made the giant man stagger forward and almost fell to the ground.

Perhaps it was the power of this arrow that aroused the anger of the giant man. He stopped suddenly, turned around and looked at the Liuli Light Car that was getting closer and closer, raised his hand to pull out two iron vertices from behind, roared, and flew out of his hands, shouted: "The hidden arrow attacked the enemy, it's not a hero."

The tail ends of the double vertebrae are tied with chains.

The chains more than two feet long were sliding in the giant's hand, and he shook lightly, and the bright edges kept ringing.

What are these six bridles and light chariots? To be precise, bridles are reins. In ancient times, a chariot in the army had four horses to pull, and one horse had two bridles. The inner bridles on both sides were tied in front of the Shi, which was called a chariot. The driver only needed to hold the six bridles, that is, six reins, to control the chariots. Of course, the drivers who could control the six bridles were all people with agile and powerful martial arts skills.

If it is normal for the giant man Zhang Gou to have a hard time doing this attack.

But the wind and sand were too strong, and the drivers on the car could not see clearly the situation ahead. They only heard the sound of chains, and when the two vertebrae flew over, there was nowhere to dodge. In desperation, they held the reins with both arms and suddenly lifted them back.

Four horses Xi Yuyu stood up with their hooves.

Two iron vertices hit the heads of the two horses with a bang. The war horse neighed and fell to the ground.

The light car behind followed and flipped over... The driver rose up and jumped off the light car. He turned around and jumped onto another light car. All this happened very suddenly and very quickly. Although it did not hurt the driver, it delayed the speed of pursuit.

Taking advantage of this kung fu, the young man galloped on his horse.

"Zhang Gou, go quickly!"

Behind the young man, there was a war horse. The giant man heard the young man's words and dragged two iron vertices onto the horse without saying a word.

The two of them beat the horse and whipped it, and they left like flying.

However, dozens of six-bridle light cars chased after them.

The Zhongche Mansion is under the jurisdiction of Taipu, one of the nine ministers of Qin. The responsibilities of Taipu are somewhat similar to the Minister of Transportation in later generations. They have various types of Chefu official offices and Yuanma Supervisory Orders. The Zhongche Mansion is among them, which is a specialized in the management of the emperor.

The rank of the CRRC Mansion is 600 stones.

He is just a middle-class official. However, if he is not the emperor's confidant, ordinary people cannot take on such a position.

The requirements of the CRRC Mansion's drivers are extremely strict.

According to Qin law, it takes four years for chariots to drive a carriage and horse. However, CRRC Mansion’s chariots cannot become CRRC Mansion’s chariots without ten years. Moreover, they must be under forty years and must be over seven feet and five inches tall.

With agile steps, you can chase a galloping horse; you can be flexible in your hands and be able to get on and off the car.

To be strong and powerful, you don’t have to have a thousand pounds of strength, but you must be able to control the flags on the car. At the same time, you must be able to have a strong martial arts skills, be able to attract a strong bow from eight stones, and also draw a bow from the front, back and left and right while galloping. These conditions are qualified together, and they must also be verified by identity. One is the old Qin people, and the other is to be loyal to the emperor to become a guard of the palace.

If we describe it more bluntly, the bodyguards of Zhongnanhai in later generations.

Outside, there are iron eagle soldiers to defend the enemy; inside, they are guards of the CRRC Mansion. The two have clear division of labor and have no connection with each other.

In the entire Qin Dynasty, there were only 1,600 Iron Eagle Soldiers. However, in the entire Qin Dynasty, there were only 800 CSKA guards.

Just from this number ratio, you can see some clues. In the march and war, the CRRC guards are not as good as the Iron Eagle Sharp.

But if the competition between experts comes and goes like the wind, ten Iron Eagle Sharpmen can't beat a CRRC Mansion Guard.

The six bridles were as fast as the wind, chasing the two people ahead.

The young man's horse is good, but compared with the six-bridle light chariot horses of the CRRC Mansion Guard, it is obviously not on the same level. As the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, the sound of the car behind him is becoming clearer and clearer, and the young man's heart is scared.

"Zhang Gou, stop them!"

The young man shouted: "You and I will go separately, and we will meet up!"

The wind was too strong, and the giant man Zhang Gou didn't hear clearly what the young man said. However, when the master asked him to stop the enemy, he did not hesitate at all. He suddenly turned his horse's head, and Ma Xiyuyu was neighing and circling in place. Zhang Gou knocked his feet on the horse's belly with both feet, picked up an iron vertebra, rushed up against the six bridles, shouting: "Master, go quickly, Zhang Gou stops the enemy!"

The young man left without saying a word.

Zhang Gou held the iron vertebrae in both hands and roared, and the wheel vertebrae hit the guards of the CRRC.

A guard of the mansion shook off the reins, picked up the copper trolley and stepped into the air. The copper trolley thrust in the air, and the eagle beat the rabbit and stabbed Zhang Gou.

The two vertices were erected and a seal was sent out.

Only a loud noise came, and Xi Yuyu, a warrior under his crotch, lying on the ground. When he faced, the six bridles rushed towards him.

Zhang Gou rolled around and hurried away.

Three light cars rushed towards each other, and the drivers on the car set up copper scepters, and the sharp blades shone coldly.

"Zhang Gou is here, no one can hurt my master!"
