Thanks again to Flame Masturbation for the tip. In addition, there is no QQ group in this book for the time being, my QQ45670467. It's rare, but friends who want to discuss it are welcome.
…………………………
It was noon, but the sky was covered in dark clouds, and it was as dark as it had been when the sun had gone down for a short time.
Thunder rumbled with lightning rattling in the sky, and a strange situation occurred.
There was a breeze just now, but now there is no wind at all in the thunderous environment, and the air is filled with stuffy molecules, which makes people breathe with an uncomfortable feeling and sweat.
Lu Zhe, who realized that it was definitely a torrential rain, did not think in the direction of the gods, crying for the dead, and God punishing Yingzheng who was good at killing.
Lu Zhe, who was rushing to the city from the outskirts of Xianyang, ordered the whole army to run forward, of course, the so-called whole army actually had less than 700 soldiers.
The sight of the soldiers running in a line looks majestic, but no one is pleasing to see the brigade of soldiers passing through the village. Almost all of the leaders who saw the army running forward did the same thing, and rushed their families into the door in a panic, while the men in the family stood cautiously at the door, looking like they were waiting for inquiries.
The Qin State is a place where the law is spoken, and the leaders of the Qians have always believed in this since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, but they really didn't understand it this time, and the rangers were arrested and killed because of the crime and the like. And what about the musicians who build it? What laws did these musicians break, and why would they be killed by the army?
Lu Zhe could feel the fear of ordinary people, something that had never happened before. All this was only because of an order from the First Emperor, panic spread outward from the center of Xianyang, and soldiers were hunting and killing rangers everywhere, and in some places, they did not know that the construction of the road had become an "illegal" musician, and they were dragged out of the city and executed with an inexplicable face.
"This is destroying the foundation!" This is what someone thinks to himself when he sees people with frightened faces.
A huge thunder resounded directly above him, and when Lu Zhe subconsciously raised his head, a gust of wind blew without warning, almost causing him to fall to the ground unsteadily.
The gale was just a prelude, and there were a few lightning bolts in the sky, and then the whole world was like a group of demons dancing wildly, and the wind hung wildly, and there was a "woo-woo" wind sound everywhere.
"Marquis!" A five-hundred-hundred-lord ran to Lu Zhe's side, and he was a little anxious: "Two soldiers were blown down by the strong wind and happened to hit the spears in the rear, and they died. ”
What the!?
How old is that? When hunting and killing the rangers, they relied on the cooperation ability of the army, and only one person was killed and about 20 people were injured in the process. This gust of wind killed two? It's just kidding!
Lu Zhe covered his eyes that were blown uncomfortably by the wind and sand, and said loudly: "Let the soldiers pull the distance away." Gather the body and move on! ”
"The murderer?" The five hundred lords were like a two-pole, and he repeated again: "What about the murderer, do you need to be arrested?" ”
Lu Zhe stared at the five hundred lords with the eyes of an idiot, and scolded angrily: "Bastard! There is no murderer in this matter, it was an accident! If you have the kung fu to think about this, don't hurry up and lead the team forward! ”
The five hundred lords were scolded so much that their faces were overjoyed, and they should say, "Hey! After that, he didn't say a word and ran away.
Lu Zhe, who was stunned by this reaction, laughed himself: "This guy has a bit of a brain. ”
Isn't it? Pretending to be stupid and stunned to report, the military marquis is characterized as an accident, and it is not an accident but also an accident. The accident is good, it means that it is providence, and no one has to take responsibility at the same time, and the dead soldiers will also be compensated.
"Wait a minute, ask what that guy's name is......"
Thinking while running, Lu Zhe suddenly felt the tip of his nose cold, he subconsciously raised his hand to touch it, and the touch of water trails came from his fingers.
Without any warning, almost as soon as he touched the traces of water, the whole sky seemed to break through the gap and fall down the curtain of water, and the pearl-sized raindrops were not dripping, they were simply splashing!
In a very short period of time, the whole body became chicken soup, and Lu Zhe saw that there were soldiers stumbling and shouting: "The whole army stops!" ”
A person's voice naturally couldn't travel too far, but this was a well-trained Great Qin force, not a rabble, and the soldiers who heard it began to repeat, "The military marquis has an order: the whole army stops!" One shouted after the other until everyone stopped.
Lu Zhe asked people to pass the word and ordered all the officers above the rank of 100 generals to come over, and when the people had gathered, he said: "The march in the rainstorm is difficult, we are only five miles away from Xianyang, and we have enough time to return to the barracks before the point." ”
The officers who were gathered on this point had no objection.
"The rain was very heavy, and now it is not suitable for a fast march. We can't miss a little bit again, I order the soldiers to line up in a dense formation and trot forward! ”
The lips of the five hundred lord moved just now, as if he wanted to say something, but the discipline of the Great Qin army did not allow for objections after the boss made a decision, even if he asked the soldiers to jump down to fill the river, he had to jump down with his eyes closed.
As for what are the consequences of giving the wrong order? If it is not serious, it is a military stick, if it is a little serious, it is to remove the military position and demote the title, if it is a little serious, it is to execute oneself, if it is very serious, it is to execute the whole family, and it is so serious that it is to kill the three clans.
The five hundred lords wanted to ask, "What if any of the soldiers are blown down by the wind and have an accident that causes death or injury?" But I didn't dare to question it.
This kind of knowledge is almost common knowledge in modern times, but not many people in ancient times grasped this natural phenomenon...... Or rather, they didn't pay much attention to it. It must be noted that almost all of the soldiers who have mastered this knowledge have become famous generals, that is, the so-called understanding of the sky.
Lu Zhe, who discovered this, is now afraid not that any more soldiers will be blown down by the wind, but that the rain is too big to obstruct the vision, and if the soldiers are not gathered into a dense formation, it is estimated that some soldiers will lose the team. And this is definitely not a joke, there are many such examples.
In the midst of the rainstorm, the drenched soldiers slowly gathered, and they lined up in a long formation of 5X10 in the sound of their respective commanders' commands, and then began to trot in the sound of the commanders' commands.
Not far away, through the rain curtain to see the army stop Qianshou is actually nervous to death, will feel nervous is actually not without purpose, next door to this village there is a place called Wuxiang Pavilion, where civilians because of a ranger to speak and have a physical conflict with the army, the whole pavilion up and down the three hundred and twenty-six people, including the pavilion father, were all slaughtered by the army.
The military is the most violent institution in the world, and although people don't know the name of the road, it doesn't prevent them from being wary of the army after learning of a massacre not far away.
Lu Zhe naturally did not have the idea of bringing troops into the village, and his duty of searching and arresting today had been completed.
In the pouring rain, Qianshou vaguely saw the army slowly disappearing around the corner of the ditch, and some people actually fell on the mud after breathing a sigh of relief.
Some old people, they looked at the direction in which the army disappeared, their cloudy eyes were a little confused, and their tone was a little overwhelmed: "If the army doesn't expand its territory, how can it slaughter the head of Qian?" ”
