Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 41
Ziying passed through the gap in the shield and saw that the people commanding the Yue people to fight in the distance were actually many women with patterns on their faces.

He thought of what Ren Xiao said, some of the more barbaric Yue tribes had women as their leaders, and people only knew their mothers but not their fathers.

Now after seeing it with his own eyes, he found that Ren Xiao's words were true.

This reminded him of the textual research he had done with several doctors when he was in Xianyang.

The Qin, Zhao, and Chu families actually have the same origin.

The ancestor of the state of Chu was the son of Emperor Gaoyang.

It is called Juanzhang, Juanzhang gave birth to Wu Hui, and Wu Hui gave birth to Jilian.

Ji Lian's surname is Mi, and he is the ancestor of the Chu royal family.

During the period of King Wen of Zhou, Ji Lian's descendants had a branch called yù bears, who moved to the Jingshan area because they were repelled and attacked in the Central Plains.

Fong Xiong took refuge in King Wen of Zhou, and assisted King Wen of Zhou and his son in destroying King Zhou of Shang.

Xiong Xiong gave birth to a son named Xiong Li, Xiong Li gave birth to a son named Xiong Kuang, and Xiong Kuang gave birth to a son named Xiong Yi, because Xiong Yi helped the Duke of Zhou who had taken refuge in Jingshan, and because Feng Xiong had helped King Wen of Zhou .

Therefore, after the Duke of Zhou returned to the court, he suggested that King Cheng of Zhou enfeoff Xiong Yi as a prince, so Xiong Yi was enfeoffed as a viscount by King Cheng of Zhou, with a fief of fifty miles and the capital Danyang.

So far, the state of Chu has been officially established and has been recognized by Emperor Zhou.

Compared with the Chu State, which has a clear paternal lineage, although the ancestors of Qin and Zhao were also the supreme emperor Gao Yang mentioned above, the Gao Yang clan is the mother clan of the ancestors of Qin and Zhao, which is somewhat similar to the Yue people in front of them. Qin and Zhao don't know who their father is...

The ancestors of Qin and Zhao were the daughter of Emperor Gaoyang, a female cultivator.

The female nun was born in Daye, and in Daye was born in Dafei. Dafei was given the surname Ying by Shun because of his meritorious service in assisting Yu in water control.

Therefore, both the Qin and Zhao families have the surname Ying.

Suddenly, a rush of horseshoes interrupted Ziying's thoughts.

He stood on tiptoe and looked out through the gap in the shield. It turned out that Li Shang led the cavalry to repel the Yue people on the left side of the road, and now he was about to attack the Yue people on the right side of the road who were still fighting with Qin soldiers.

Tap, tap!

Tap, tap!

The heavy horse's hooves hit the ground, and Ziying knew that when the sound of the horse's hoofs sounded twice, it meant that the horse's speed had been pushed to the extreme.

Regardless of the cold arrows that might be shot from the Yue warriors, he stood on tiptoe and watched intently.

A hundred cavalry lined up in two horizontal formations to charge,

That overwhelming momentum,
Not only Ziying, but even the Yue warriors and Qin soldiers who were fighting were stagnant.

For a moment, it seemed that there were only two voices left on the battlefield.

One is the sound of the horse's iron hooves trampling on the ground, and the other is the wailing sound of the Yue warriors who were hit by the horse and broke their bones and tendons.

Compared with those who died under cavalry halberds, more Yue warriors were knocked down by horses and trampled to death.

In an instant, the unprecedented attack methods of the cavalry of the Qin army shook the Yue warriors who were determined to die, and began to hesitate to retreat.

As a battle-tested veteran, Ren Xiao decisively seized the opportunity.

He ordered all Qin troops to give up defense and attack across the board, trying to encircle the group of Yue people with the help of cavalry.

You know, prisoners of war can also be counted as military meritorious service.

Seeing that the general situation was over, the leader of the Yue people shook the totem pole in his hand and howled loudly.

As if they had received a clear order to retreat, the Yueren warriors left their clansmen who were howling in a pool of blood, and headed into the woods at a faster speed than when they came.

It's just that their reactions were a bit slower, especially their leader.

Li Shang turned his horse's head and galloped towards her.

The two strong women next to the leader of the Yue people shouted loudly and rushed up waving stone spears, but they underestimated the speed of the horses and were directly knocked out.

Li Shang broke free from the stirrups with both feet, and threw himself forward. He threw the Yueren leader to the ground, drew out the short dagger from his waist, and put it on her neck.

The Yue people who were running into the woods were dumbfounded. They didn't know whether to rescue their leader or run away.

So he was knocked down by the Qin army who was chasing him, and tied up on the spot.

It's just that the Yue warriors saw that the soldiers of the Qin army looked at themselves in the wrong way...

Very gentle, but also full of longing, like a hungry person who suddenly sees a big plate of fat.

On the other side, the cavalry immediately turned around after chasing for a few hundred meters. Taiwei Tu Sui was shot to death by Yue people with poisoned arrows because he went deep into the jungle alone.

Ren Xiao directed the army Sima to inspect the beheading situation and record the achievements for the sergeant.

Li Shang put his dagger on the neck of the leader of the Yue people, and said to Ziying who was walking towards him, "Be careful, son, the Yue people are good at using poison."

Ziying shook her head and said with a smile: "She is already like this, how can she use poison!"

Then he looked at the leader of the Yue people and asked, "Hey, can you speak Qin dialect?"

The only response to him was a series of chatter from the leader of the Yue people.

Although Ziying doesn't understand Yueren's words, it seems that the other party started scolding from the female cultivator...

But Ziying was too lazy to argue with a barbarian, so he turned to Ren Xiao and asked, "How should we handle this matter?"

Ren Xiao thought for a moment, then twitched his beard and said, "First take the people back to Panyu County, and then ask which Yue tribe they are from. Since they have lost a lot of energy, it is time to send troops to catch them all!"

Ziying nodded and said with a smile, "As expected of the First Captain Southeast!"

Ren Xiao arched his hands: "Young master is absurd."

Li Shang tilted his neck and asked, "Lieutenant, what level of title can I get today?"

Ren Xiao laughed without saying a word, while Ziying replied: "Now you have been rewarded by His Majesty as a duke, killed one enemy, and awarded a first-level title. Based on your performance today, you can probably be promoted to the third-level hairpin owl. "

Li Shang's eyes widened, and he asked loudly, "I've killed so many enemies before I was promoted to two ranks of title. Are you making a mistake, my lord?"

Ren Xiao scolded: "Li Shang is bold! How can you talk to the young master?"

Ziying smiled and didn't care about it, and then said: "Listen to me, Qin Lu, Shiwu Jinjue, the highest he can be promoted to is Zanyou, after that, he will make military exploits, and usually only pass the overflowing titles to his brothers and nephews .”

"Those who do not upgrade to a higher title will only be awarded to military officials."

He waved his hand to stop Li Shang's inquiry, and then said: "But your situation is special, you are a talented person selected by His Majesty from the people, and you are also a cavalier, so your promotion is different from ordinary scholars. "

"According to the law of Qin, your title should be calculated according to the military officials. You led the cavalry to defeat the Daozuoyue people, and the beheading level was at least above level 30, so you can be promoted to the rank of nobleman on the basis of the hairpin." The fourth level does not change."

"After that, you defeated the Yue people on the right side of the road and captured the leader of the Yue people alive. You were promoted to two ranks and became a sixth-level official."

As Li Shang listened, his breathing became short of breath.

ps: For the above information about the titles of the Qin Army, you can refer to Nishijima Sadao's "Research on the Twenty-Class Nobility System", which contains a lot of references to unearthed bamboo slips and handed down documents, but the quality of the translation is not flattering...
