During the Warring States Period, the people were more martial.
Even those men who have never been on the battlefield and are recruited for the first time are more or less familiar with battle formation fighting skills... And among the 27,000 'recruits' gathered in the Lantian camp now, , this is not the first time for many of them to go to the battlefield.
Although these soldiers are called "new soldiers" in Lantian Camp, in fact many of them are warriors who have been on the battlefield for a long time and have numerous military exploits.
So many people have questions - what exactly is being practiced in this recruit training?
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is similar to going to college in later generations.
First of all, the unlucky ones who were recruited had to take their ID cards and report to the military law officers in the camp - the scene was just like a new student reporting to school with his admission letter.
If you come on time, you are a good brother and a good leader.
If you don't arrive after the deadline... The university is more civilized, and the most you can do is drop out of school. Our Lantian camp is a bit more barbaric - I'm sorry, no matter how legitimate your reasons are, the military law officers will simply chop off your head and hang it up for public display.
After successfully registering, it's time to 'select a major' - which roughly means that you will be assigned a suitable position based on the skills you are good at.
For example, children from wealthy families who can bring their own horses, descendants of distinguished nobles, Rongdi riders... Of course, needless to say, they become the cavalry masters who are easiest to perform meritorious service and have the lowest casualty rate.
If you don't have a horse, then you have to act as sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, crossbowmen and other cannon fodder units according to the skills you are good at.
After the majors are divided, the final step is to divide the garrison soldiers into different teams of thousands, and then into different teams of hundreds...
Congratulations, you have completed the entire process - it will take about a month or two to complete.
Now, for the glory of Great Qin, you have to kill people with your sword!
…
The soldiers of Qin gathered together and chatted in twos and threes.
Some of the young men who were drafted for the first time seemed very nervous - often pestering veterans who had served several times to learn as much as possible about the battlefield.
Some veterans maliciously described the blood dripping on the battlefield, and exaggeratedly described the scene of the enemy's arrows raining down upon them... so frightened that the young men who came to serve for the first time turned pale.
There are also kind-hearted veterans who patiently explain how to kill the enemy and protect yourself most effectively on the battlefield.
"Our chief has served twice and was beheaded to the third level. He is very capable!" A new recruit held up his own stinky feet with great joy, making the chief smile.
"No! We have a serious title of 'hairpin'!" Another Qin Bing said, his tone full of envy.
The title of Hairpin Niao is the third level of the 20th level of the Great Qin nobility - although it is still a low-level title, it is enough to make ordinary people jealous... As long as you are promoted to one more title, it will be the fourth level of 'no change' ——As the name suggests, you will no longer have to perform military service in the future.
"Chief, what battles have you fought?"
"Quickly, tell us a story, it will open your eyes!" The rookies talked to each other, urging the commander of the Qin Army to tell a story.
Seeing everyone's urgent pleading, Nashi Chang smiled reservedly and said unhurriedly: "Since the boys are curious, I will just tell you."
"I was drafted and fought in two battles - the Battle of Yiyang the year before last and the First Battle of Danyang."
The so-called "Yiyang Defense War" refers to the joint attack launched by Qi, Wei and Han against the Qin-Chu alliance after Qin and Chu formed an alliance. In that battle, Qi was responsible for attacking Chu (i.e., Xiong Wuliang's Great Faction) Wei Cai and the Battle of Chui Sha (the Battle of Chuisha where the Qi army was flooded), Wei and Han were responsible for attacking [Yiyang] occupied by the Qin State.
Just when Xiong Wuliang's water flooded Tianzhen's 120,000 Qi army, the Qin army fought a fierce battle with the invading Han and Wei coalition forces in Yiyang, and finally won the battle. Within the Qin State, this battle was Named 'Yiyang Defense Battle'.
As for the 'First Danyang War', there is no need to go into details.
"Chief Commander, you are beheading the third level. Are you beheading people from Wei, Han, or Chu?"
The commander of the Qin army coughed slightly and said with some embarrassment: "Behead three levels, all of them are Chu barbarians."
"All of them are military achievements made by me during the 'First Danyang War'."
"As for the 'Yiyang Defense Battle', I feel guilty - nothing was gained."
The Qin soldiers said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions - for the Qin army, it didn't matter which country the person beheaded was, as long as he was beheaded, it was a good thing.
The commander shouted again: "I don't know if the spring begins...will our garrison soldiers go to fight Han Wei? Or will we fight Chu?"
The Qin soldiers gathered around pricked up their ears again: "How long, is there a big difference?"
Qin Jun sighed: "Big! It's too big!"
"Although South Korea and Wei are no match for our Qin warriors, they are quite powerful - Wei's heavy infantry and South Korea's powerful crossbows are truly terrifying! If I were to be sent to fight Wei and Han after the spring begins, , The second and third sons should be very careful."
The Qin soldiers asked again: "What about Chu? I heard that the Chu barbarians have gained momentum in the past two years. They must be more difficult to fight than South Korea and Wei, right?"
I was startled for a moment, and then burst into laughter!
"What, why are you laughing?"
Na Shichang laughed for a long time before wiping away the tears from his laughter, and said in a preaching tone: "How stupid are you, the second and third sons? Judging from what I saw during the first Danyang War, those Chu barbarians are simply walking heads." ! It’s easy to kill!”
"Those stupid Nanman are just a bunch of stupid pigs!"
"In the last battle at Danyang, our Qin army's crossbowmen first fired arrows to harass, and then the Qin cavalry charged, and the two wings of the Chu army collapsed... Those stupid Chu barbarians fled all over the mountains and fields, and our Qin army's infantry phalanx charged and harvested... It was simply As easy as mowing the lawn!”
"It's a pity..." The chief clucked his tongue with some regret: "I was a little slow and only cut off two heads."
"Our current centenarian was just like me before that battle, he was just an ordinary soldier... As a result, he beheaded seven Chu barbarians in the first battle. Now he has really become a centenary and has become a centenary!"
All the Qin soldiers looked at each other and keenly discovered the loophole in Shi Chang's mouth: "Shi Chang, you said that you fought two battles, the Battle of Yiyang and the First Battle of Danyang... The Battle of Yiyang, and there was no such thing. Capture..."
"Then it stands to reason that you should have beheaded three Chu barbarians in the first battle of Danyang - why did you say you only beheaded two? Was it a slip of the tongue?"
Na Shichang smiled mysteriously and said leisurely: "Beside the battlefield, there are many Chu people's villages. After the battle, my centenary at the time took our hundred-man team to wander around the village... Do you understand? "
All the Qin soldiers suddenly realized.
It turns out that I borrowed a fellow villager’s head for use.
The commander of the Qin Army smiled evilly and narrowed his eyes, as if he was recalling something beautiful: "Although the men of Chu are worthless and as cowardly as lambs in front of our Qin warriors... But their wives and daughters... The waist is so thin and soft!”
"It's a pity that I had a low title at the time and only used it once... The little girl was young and very juicy. She kept calling me uncle to beg for mercy... In the end, I chopped off her head and cut off her hair. The face was scratched - the military law officer responsible for counting the heads and recording merits looked like a man..."
"This is how I got my third head!"
