Chapter 6: Rank and File
What is the life of a soldier in the army Lu Zhe never had a concept, he originally thought that the so-called soldier should be heroic and fearless, and should give his life for a certain belief at some time and a moment, but it seems that the army he is staying in is a little different?
All his impressions of the army are from modern times, and his understanding of the army is that a group of big men should speak loudly, that is, the kind that shouts with all their strength at every turn. From time to time, a certain instructor or something like would talk to a soldier about life, about ideals, about dedicating himself to the country, but this is not the case.
What he had heard and seen for days was an army of death, silence, yes silence, an eerie silence in which no one could speak except if necessary......
None of those officers (including himself) would yell like a fool, and the barracks noise would be directly beheaded; No one is like a psycho who has been talking about sacrificing his life for anyone (including the country), and no one has instilled this kind of thinking; Even when there is no practice, it seems that no one wants to go out of their tent, and usually they are either sleeping or in a daze.
There is no passionate speech, no imaginary heroism. There was no wind, no rain, nothing but to stay in the tent and be stupid. Maybe this is the essence of the army? There is no need for superfluous thoughts, it is as fast as the wind, its Xu is like a forest, aggression is like fire, and it is not moving like a mountain.
Probably because he is an officer, he occupies a small tent, which makes it even more boring and boring, which is Lu Zhe's experience so far.
Qin Jun has a very class concept, yes, it is a class concept, which is not simply just during dinner.
Lu Zhe still hasn't figured out how big an official he is, he doesn't even know what he should do, and no one tells him what he should do.
He only knew that the soldiers respected him very much, not the kind of respect that came from formalism, but the kind that came from the heart. This respect is reflected in the fact that he does whatever the soldier says, and sometimes he even doubts that he will not be opposed to asking the soldier to run naked?
Seems to have heard it wrong? He woke up a little from his daze, and it seemed that he had heard the sound of a horn just now?
Yes, in the film and television, the army of the land of China has always used war drums, and those uncivilized savages will use things like horns that have no technical content. But...... Qin Jun really used horns, and the sound of drums had never been heard at all, at least for Lu Zhe.
This is the third time that the horn has been heard. The first time was the "thousand-man" review of the troops, which was only a short three sections; The second was a riot among the prisoners of war who were building the straightway, and it was a long three sections; This......?
"Long? Long? Or is it long? ”
Of course, Lu Zhe knew that all armies had their own means of communication, and he also clearly knew that this was a prisoner of war, and there was another riot!
What was the reason for the last POW riot? He didn't know the Dao and didn't want to know the Dao, but he heard that he hadn't killed many people, and this was not the Qin army he knew the Dao. He knew that the Qin officers and soldiers of the Dao should all kill people without blinking, and slaughter people like slaughtering dogs. At least that's how it is played in movies or series......
He began to change the expression on his face, he thought that he should be more Qin Jun than Qin Jun, his face should be more hideous, maybe he should be more hideous!
Because of boredom, he was already imagining what kind of expression he would use if he went to suppress the riots himself.
"Tread-"
There was a sound of footsteps, until the sound of footsteps stopped, and the curtain of the tent was lifted, and the expression on Lu Zhe's face was always hideous, and he just looked at the person who suddenly appeared so hideously. Maintaining a hideous expression but a state of inner anxiety for at least five seconds, he reacted and walked out of the tent without saying a word, and by this time there were at least fifty soldiers lined up in the aisle.
The soldiers were unarmoured, they were dressed in tight gray robes, and they stood with expressionless faces and calm in their hands.
Lu Zhe more or less had the impression that the ancient people were not high? He thought that his height of more than 1.8 meters would be very advantageous, but this was not the case. He found that the figure of the Qin army was generally about 1.7 meters, and soldiers with a height of two meters could often be seen, and most of the soldiers were stronger than him.
These people come from different places in the Kannai, not from the same county or from a county, let alone a township, and they will not form a township party when they are not familiar with each other, and no small group will do inexplicable things to save their lives, and the basis for obeying military orders is also there.
For the soldiers, Lu Zhe is very in line with the image of a grassroots officer in Daqin, because he can't speak the language of this era, so he won't give any orders, because he doesn't know his own position, he doesn't dare to walk around the barracks, and he seems to be a higher-level officer who is ready to die in the tent without giving an order.
This is precisely in line with the image of the basic officers of the Qin Army, not what kind of interpersonal communication is needed at the top level, not where the middle-level officers have so many ideas, and the basic officers should be rigid and indifferent waiting for orders.
The soldiers seemed pleased with the hideous expression on the officer's face? A commander who usually doesn't give orders casually, and a fierce commander who hears the war is very loved by his subordinates.
Lu Zhe is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart (at least he thinks so), and the assembly of troops means that he has a task. He looked left and right, except for his team of fifty people, the rest of the people had not assembled or showed signs of gathering, and instantly judged that the scale of the riot was small or that the other troops responsible for the suppression had already set off.
When he came out, he took a bamboo raft from the soldier who had opened the tent. There are some words written on this bamboo row, the shape of these words is very beautiful but not easy to write, he knows that this kind of character is called seal.
The soldier in charge of the herald handed over the bamboo row and ran away without saying a word, which made Lu Zhe very depressed. Could it be that the literacy rate in this era was very high, and the basic officers who conveyed military orders could only read what was written in the bamboo row? At least I should say what to do, he can't read the seal characters!
Lu Zhe, who didn't know what to do, wanted to just stay still, as the so-called doing more wrong, doing less wrong, not doing good, and it seems that serving in the Qin army is easier to be executed? Seeing that there was no one of higher ranks to give orders, he looked around at the soldiers standing in line and trotted. Anyway, it's right to move, and what should I do is another matter.
The road of the barracks was simple, and in order to be able to gather or assemble quickly, there were no twists and turns, and this group of soldiers was so dizzy and followed their tun commander to trot for what he didn't know what to do.
Very anxious, Lu Zhe in the trot was very anxious, he didn't know what to do at all. When he heard the horn again, he felt that he should slap himself a few times.
"I'm dizzy! Since it was a prisoner of war riot, of course it was to suppress it! ”
The fool who had reacted a little stopped running around, and he doubted that he would be executed for delay, so he ran with all his might.
After running for about fifteen minutes, Lu Zhe saw more and more teams converging in this direction from all directions, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, and he thought uncertainly: "At least I didn't run to the wrong place, I won't be beheaded now, right?" ”
The field of vision in front of him slowly widened, and the noisy sound kept coming, and there was a strong smell of sand and dust in the air wafting in.
What did Lu Zhe see?
What he saw was a yellow fog in the sky, countless images of people fighting together like crazy, and the assembled soldiers were just standing by on the periphery, watching the prisoners of war with disdain...... If you read that right, it's a brawl?
Compared to the chaos ahead, the Qin army was as disciplined as ever at this moment, standing in a formation with a long ge, and officers in armor walking back and forth in the queue.
"Stop!"
Parrot is like a parrot, Lu Zhe is a little embarrassed after giving the order, and his subordinates are still running smoothly, but what about him? He was a little out of breath.
"Maybe I should exercise more? Not for the sake of face, for life! ”
