I'm playing tricks in Daqin

Everyone removed the tattered standard leather armor on their bodies, took out the spare golden sore medicine, cleaned the wound with disinfectant, then poured the golden sore medicine, and bandaged the wound.

Smelling the intoxicating aroma of wine, everyone couldn't help swallowing, but no one dared to drink it. This is a life-saving stuff, and everyone only carried a little bit, and it was gone when it was used up.

After eating dry food with clear water, Xia Houheng arranged the guard post, and the rest of them fell down in the grass and rested in blankets. They were so exhausted that they soon fell asleep.

The sky was still gray and did not light up. Xia Houheng climbed to a big tree, and after identifying his position by the dim light, he immediately woke up his subordinates and buried the worn-out standard armor and clothes. After the ashes of the bonfire were buried and all the traces were removed as much as possible, everyone started to grope eastward again in the dense forest.

After the sky brightened, a group of Jin troops appeared near the dense forest where they were hiding. Under the leadership of the officers, they began to search the forest.

There is the rolling Jundu mountain range nearby, which belongs to the jurisdiction of Yanyun County. The horses abandoned by Xia Houheng and others were found at the foot of Jundu mountain. Therefore, the Jin army blocked all the roads, and then sent a large army to search the mountain.

At this time, Xia Houheng and his subordinates had already climbed the rolling Jundu Mountains, and continued to march deep into the mountains. It was broad daylight, and they were traveling very fast without losing their way.

However, there was an accident during the climbing process. One soldier sprained his ankle, and the other two soldiers were bitten by a poisonous snake lying in the grass and died of poison.

After burying their companions, the rest of the people continued on the road. This time, they learned how to cut off long branches with sabers to use as wooden sticks for exploring the road. Although their speed slowed down, they at least ensured their safety.

At noon, the Jin army searching in the dense forest not only found the abandoned armor and other abandoned items buried by Xia Houheng and others, but also found traces of their march, and the search army immediately followed the traces.

After chasing to the mountain, the head of the officer leading the team grew bigger, the mountains were rolling and rolling, one after another, the mountains were densely forested, and the weeds were half the height of a person. It was necessary to search for dozens of people, not to mention his 3000 people, it was 3 It doesn't work for ten thousand people, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Without seeing the enemy's shadow, his subordinates had suffered non-combat casualties. Several fell into the bottomless pit, a dozen were bitten to death by poisonous insects, and dozens of them sprained their ankles.

He could only order his exhausted subordinates to rest on the spot and wait for orders from the superior.

The prefect of Yanyun County was still very sympathetic to his subordinates. He knew that it was unrealistic to send tens of thousands of troops to search the mountain at such a time. He ordered all the troops to search the mountain to withdraw and guard all the main roads. Then he selected five groups of people to form a search team , led by a local experienced Orion, went into the mountains to search for Xia Houfu and others who had fled.

Led by an experienced Orion, the five search teams that entered the mountain successfully caught up with Xia Houheng and the others, and the two sides started a hide-and-seek hunt in the dense forest.

Most of the soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry are elite veterans who choose one out of ten thousand. Even though their survival experience in the dense forest is not as good as that of the Orion, they learn quickly and apply what they have learned. They successfully killed the second group of search teams, but they themselves also He paid the price of seven people killed and two injured.

Looking at the four remaining subordinates around him, all of whom were wounded, Xia Houheng felt desperate. He knew that there were not many enemies chasing him, but they were all led by elite veterans and experienced hunters who had experienced many battles. , and they have already been surrounded and outflanked by them, the chance of surviving is desperately small.

"My lord, I will stay to attract the enemy..."

Xia Houheng waved his hand resolutely and refused. In this maze-like vast forest, apart from all kinds of natural traps, poisonous insects and beasts, there are also enemies more powerful than them lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to hunt and kill. The probability of survival is zero. It's better to get together and count as one if you can spell it out.

Everyone was lurking in the waist-high grass. Although it was broad daylight and the sun was shining brightly, in the dense forest, the light was very dark.

They hide and dare not move at all. If they make a little noise, they must be discovered by powerful enemies. They also know that there are enemies lurking all around, and it depends on who loses patience first.

I don't know how long it took, but amidst the depressing and uneasy waiting, a shrill cry pierced the silent forest.

Chapter 3 and Four: Jungle Hunting

The sudden mournful howl from the east made Xia Houheng and others who were hiding in the bushes and behind the trees both happy and nervous. The joy was that an enemy stepped into the trap they had learned and made, and the tension was that the trap was It is set a hundred meters away to the east, that is to say, the enemy has already dived to about a hundred meters, and the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.

The only remaining four subordinates held the sabers tightly in their hands, and Xia Houheng, who was hiding behind a big tree, held a riding bow in his hands. There were only six arrows left in his quiver, which were the arrows of the five men. concentrated.

He could not be regarded as a perfect archer, but he was not far behind, and he was the best archer among the five. The main reason was that there were not many arrows left, so it would be best for him to shoot with a bow.

"what"

There was a sudden shrill cry from the west. It was obvious that another enemy had suffered.

Xia Houheng was overjoyed at first, then stunned. They had set up several traps in the east, but the enemy pursued them so closely that they didn't have time to set up traps when they circled the west. What's going on?

"what"

Another miserable cry came from the west, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

In just a few breaths, there were a few shrill howls from the south, and then there were shouts from all directions, the golden sound of violent impact of iron objects, and the painful groans of the wounded.

During the confusion, there was a rustling sound directly in front of them. Obviously, several people were running towards them.

Xia Houheng, who was leaning against the tree, glanced his head and found three Jin soldiers running towards them. They were obviously frightened, and turned their heads to look around while running.

Xia Houheng flashed out from behind the tree, quickly drew his bow and set an arrow, and shot down one of the fastest running Jin soldiers. The other two Jin soldiers turned away in fright and fled to the other side.

However, they couldn't escape Xia Houheng's fast arrow. One of them was shot through the neck and died on the spot, while the other was shot in the shoulder and fell to the grass howling miserably.

Xia Houheng didn't know what happened, and was about to remind his four subordinates to take precautions, when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, he instinctively threw himself forward, and drew an arrow to the string while rolling.

However, he didn't have time to stretch the string at all, because there were at least a dozen hand crossbows pointing at him, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't be faster than the crossbow arrows shooting at close range.

These dozen or so people were able to quietly sneak up to ten meters behind them before being noticed by him. Their skills must be very powerful, and it is definitely not something that the five exhausted people can resist.

With a desperate sigh, he threw away the riding bow in his hand, and his four subordinates also threw away the saber in their hands unwillingly.

"But Captain Xia Houheng?"

A big, ordinary-looking man wearing a grass-green cloak stepped out, stared at Xia Houheng and the others for a while, and asked aloud.

"You are……"

Xia Houheng was stunned and said, actually, when he saw the hand crossbows in the hands of the dozen or so big men in grass-green cloaks in front of him, he already had the answer in his heart, but he was just not sure.

Hand crossbows have been made long ago, but because of their short range and low power, no empires in the mainland have equipped them, and occasionally some knight-errants use them.

The hand crossbows held by these big men are different from the hand crossbows used by ordinary rangers. The bad is double bad. It can fire two crossbow arrows at the same time, or single shot. It is half far away, and its power is quite amazing. It is one of the standard weapons specially equipped by the spy personnel of the Empire's special military intelligence department in black.

Of course, the servants of Prime Minister Li Gang and Li Wei are also equipped with this kind of hand crossbow, which is easy to carry and cheap to hide. When this thing is pulled out suddenly and shot at close range, its power is still extremely terrifying.

Xia Houheng recognized this special hand crossbow, but he was not sure if it had been spread, and the empires imitated it. He was relieved until the big man made a sound.

"I'm Xia Houheng... Thank you for your kindness."

As soon as Xia Houheng relaxed his mind, he immediately felt sore and aching all over his body, and he had no strength at all.

The big man in the lead just nodded slightly. They are all soldiers, and their kindness will not be talked about, but will be remembered in their hearts and repaid in the future.

Not long after, dozens of big men wearing grass-green cloaks, hand crossbows and various weapons came from three sides. The leaders of the team reported the battle situation to the big man named Mo Qingfeng respectively. According to the statistics of the number of enemies killed, the Jin army The five groups of search teams with a total of 50 people, plus ten Orions who led the way, were all killed.

Mo Qingfeng, who is a special officer, does not accept Zhonglang generals at night. This time he led five hundred men to sneak into the Jin Empire, assisting the leader of the tiger and leopard cavalry raiding the lone army. He did not take seriously Shang Xingyun's request before leaving.

The Yun official of the business bank worships the tiger, leopard, iron cavalry, eagle general, one of the young master's officers who rely heavily on him, and has a bright future. For this kind of favor, and the background of Xiahou's family of generals, he will help this favor no matter what.

At that time, it was mainly to assist the main force of the tiger and leopard cavalry to evacuate. In addition, Xia Houheng's food robbery operation was a temporary idea, and there was no time to cooperate with the special night. The movement of Xia Houheng's troops did not have time and strength to cooperate with Xia Houheng's troops until it was confirmed that the tiger and leopard cavalry had safely withdrawn to the country.

But at that time, because of the super mobility of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and Xia Houheng and others hiding in the mountains, Mo Qingfeng also lost his news, until he discovered the abnormal transfer of the Jin army, and all the roads from Jundu Mountain to the outside world were blocked. They were all sealed off, only to confirm that Xia Houheng and others fled into the Jundu Mountain.

The special forces do not receive at night are similar to the special forces of the later generations. After receiving all kinds of hell-style intensive special training, they easily crossed the blockade line of the Jin army, entered the rolling Jundu Mountain, and traced along the obvious traces on the ground. It was several days later than the five search teams sent by the Jin army.

When they caught up with the Jin army's search team, the two sides had already launched a thrilling and brutal hunting operation. Xia Houheng and others killed two groups of search teams, and they themselves paid a heavy price.

Mo Qingfeng and the others were not in a hurry to go out of the mountain. They carried tents, blankets, etc., and a lot of dry food. There were streams in the mountain, so they could hunt animals even if there was no water, so they lived in the mountain for a short time , Didn't go down the mountain until the Jin army guarding the road withdrew. At that time, everyone's injuries were almost healed.

The fierce offensive and defensive battle in Jiankang City is still going on, there are still heavy troops stationed at the border gates, and the interrogation is strict. No matter how bold the special night is, they dare not try to break through the gate easily. Everyone is scattered and hiding in the local farm.

During the period of hiding, Xia Houheng enjoyed all the beauty and happiness, and Murong Zhen was also in the farm. From acquaintance to acquaintance, and then to private life, there is only one wedding ceremony.

Chapter 3 and Five

In Jiankang City, tens of thousands of Jin troops desperately defended. Outside the city, nearly a million coalition troops desperately attacked the city.

The tragic offensive and defensive battle caused heavy losses to both sides, but when the battle reached this level, no one could stop it until death.

The daily consumption of millions of coalition troops is extremely astonishing. For the coalition forces, it is an extremely heavy burden, but the Jin Empire is also uncomfortable. All the great empires in the mainland have sent troops to attack the frontier fortresses. Sending it to the front line, the daily consumption is equally astonishing, now it depends on who can't support it first.

At this time, Li Wei was visiting the wounded in the hospital at the Ningyuan Border Pass, earning the touch and loyalty of the wounded soldiers. Regarding the wars of the major empires, he wished that the wars of the major empires would be as tragic as possible. Hori rises.

The offensive and defensive battles at Pingtang Dangerous Pass and the fortress outside Zhuang County were extremely tragic, and both sides suffered heavy losses. Thousands of soldiers were killed and tens of thousands were injured. A large military camp with a capacity of 8 to [-] people was vacated as a hospital, and a large number of doctors and medical staff were dispatched, and local doctors and doctors were recruited to assist, plus volunteers, and the manpower was barely enough.

Daqin was the first empire to recruit female soldiers to serve as medical soldiers. This move was ridiculed by countless people, and the rumors were overwhelming. However, Li Wei went his own way, which can also be said to be arbitrary, and female medical soldiers existed like this down.

Gradually, people realized that women were meticulous, and the wounded healed very quickly under the care of female medical soldiers, and the soldiers were surprisingly obedient and cooperative, and people gradually accepted the existence of female medical soldiers.

Now, those graceful female medical soldiers wearing boat-shaped cloth caps, white coats, red cross emblems on their arms, and small shoes are a beautiful landscape in the field hospital, which is pleasing to the eye.

But then again, although people accept the existence of female medical soldiers, it is absolutely forbidden for their daughters to show their faces and serve those soldiers, even if the daughters of poor families want to be medical soldiers. Not allowed, otherwise, the family law will serve.

Therefore, there are only about a hundred female medical soldiers in the military hospitals of the entire Qin Empire, and all of them are widows. It is deeply ingrained in people's minds, and it still takes a long time to challenge.

The treatment of female medical soldiers is very good. Those who are at the level of aunts are happy to continue working, but the younger widows have other ideas. Most of these soldiers are still bachelors. Hold fast, once they get married, they have to retire and go home.

In response to this phenomenon, Li Wei had to make rigid regulations. Female medical soldiers are regular soldiers of the empire. They not only enjoy all the treatment of soldiers, but also enjoy some special treatment for women. As issued, there is a lot of subsidies and so on.

Of course, it is not easy to train an ordinary woman into a full-time nurse. Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, the service period of female medical soldiers is at least five years, and they can retire when they expire. If they continue to work, they can increase their rank, military salary and other benefits .

The military ranks of female medical soldiers are divided into medical soldiers. Those who have worked for two years and are skilled in medical skills can be promoted to nurses, three years to nurses, and five years later to chief nurses.

The chief guard is the highest rank of female medical guards, and her official position is equal to that of Zhonglang general. Apart from not being able to lead the army to fight, she is equipped with guards appointed by the imperial court.

This is also the preferential policy that Li Wei came up with to stimulate women to join the army. These envious preferential policies are not only for female medical soldiers, but also for female medical officers. General is the general level of the military officer of the empire, which is more stimulating. However, it is not easy to be promoted to the highest level of General Ying Yanglang, and you must pass various assessments.

Among the many medical officers in the empire, there is only one young female medical officer named Lu Yunfeng, who was originally a captain. Li Wei came to the hospital to inspect her and saw her excellent medical skills. Even many experienced old medical officers admired her. Unable to stop, she was directly promoted to a rank, promoted to captain, the director of Ningyuan Military Hospital, accompanied by four guards appointed by the imperial court.

This is the first female officer of the empire's rank of lieutenant, which surprised and envied many people, and some people just smiled.

In fact, there is a female general with a higher official rank in the empire. She is Zhang Fenghua who currently sits at the foot of Qifeng Mountain and closely monitors Xuansuju. However, she belongs to the Black Guards, and her identity is secret, so few people know about it.

It doesn't matter if the young master pecked his head out of his idle time, in short, Lu Yunfeng's position as a lieutenant is real, and low-ranking officers have to salute politely when they see her.

There are also some old oily officers who claim to have military exploits and backgrounds who don’t believe in evil. When they see others, they don’t give military salutes, and they don’t speak out. After a month in the small dark room, I almost went crazy when I came out.

The power is also real. She has the final say on the entire military hospital in Ningyuan County. To put it bluntly, if you are wounded in battle and hospitalized, your life will be in her hands. How dare you offend others?

For some matters in the military hospital, the prefect and the local generals have to cooperate fully. If you dare to make things difficult or prevaricate, they will report to the higher authorities to ensure that you can't afford it.

The military hospital is not only formally incorporated into the military system of the empire, but also highly valued by the young master. The young master himself has taken up the idle position of the chief of the military hospital. He will look over all matters in this regard, no matter how big or small, and sometimes make suggestive instructions. , Therefore, the military hospital is a bit similar to the notorious black guards, and it is a detached existence in the imperial military.

Female soldiers are a different kind of existence in the military of the Qin Empire, but they are also an eye-catching landscape.

Female medical officers and female medical soldiers are also uniform, but they are different from the traditional military uniforms in mainland China. It is said that this novel uniform comes from the hands of the young master.

A lake-blue tight top with a knee-length skirt, a boat-shaped cloth cap of the same color, an armed belt around the waist, and black mid-tube leather shoes, not only showing the graceful and graceful figure and curves of a woman, but also showing a bit of Brave and heroic, the novelty makes people's eyes shine.

The female soldiers wore this novel uniform and walked on the street, attracting the eyes of countless men and women, and making countless women jealous. It is said that many women who are quite avant-garde in thinking and pursuing fashion imitate this new trend of women. However, they can only secretly try on them in their attic, and dare not wear them out to see others.

First, they will be reprimanded by their elders. Second, this kind of uniform is a unique uniform for female soldiers, and imitation is not allowed. Violators will be fined heavily depending on the severity of the circumstances, and those who violate it will be fined or jailed.

The standard military uniforms for female soldiers were indeed "designed and invented" by Li Wei. They are very novel, beautiful, and heroic. Even Xiao Xiaoqinger and Zhongli Shengnan made several sets of their own.

Seeing those female soldiers ruining the new military uniform that he had worked so hard to "design and invent", he could only sigh helplessly.

Chapter 3 The Problem of Accuracy

With women's sewing skills these days, it's not that silk stockings cannot be produced, but the process is too cumbersome and the cost is too high to be suitable for mass production. However, according to Li Wei's intention, female soldiers wear knee-length skirts and mid-cut leather shoes , even without stockings, showing half of her jade legs, she is no worse than modern female soldiers, definitely eye-catching.

However, he still ignores the traditional thinking that is deeply rooted in people's minds.

Women in this era, three obediences and four virtues, three cardinal principles and five constant rules, etc., can't show their faces, can't... In short, all kinds of things can't be done, and showing your legs is like losing your virginity. If you don't hang yourself, you will be sprayed to death by the saliva of countless defenders.

The female soldiers were wearing knee-length skirts, but they also wore a pair of loose trousers inside. Some young female soldiers wore trousers of different colors, which made him feel nondescript.

Brother's hard work, how can you wear it like this?

He couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to ask the tailor to cut a few sets of tight pants of the same color for the female soldiers. Although it was not satisfactory, at least it looked more comfortable and eye-catching than before. More than half a hundred aunts wear it, and they also have a bit of a sturdy momentum.

For his favorite concubine, Li Wei spared no expense, recruited a few women who are very good at needlework, and asked them to weave silk stockings of various colors according to the ideas he provided, as well as all kinds of heart-pounding and blushing little underwear. .

Those few women who are very good at needlework are treated so enviably that they can be said to be the young master's imperial weavers. Of course, they are also very tight-lipped. Little Dongdong didn't dare to leak it out, but Little Six had threatened in private that these Queen's Dongdong would spread the words they heard, and the door was full of clicks!Li Wei spent a few laps in the hospital, earning enough emotion and loyalty from the wounded soldiers, after that, it seemed that there was nothing else to do.

The news that Xia Houheng is still alive has been sent back by the carrier pigeon, and we will deal with it when he returns. Although this guy has made great contributions in robbing food, he will also be severely punished for violating military orders and arbitrarily claiming it.

There is nothing to do now, it's a pain in the ass, and none of the many daughters-in-law is around, Li Wei is bored in every possible way, and he doesn't know what to do for a while, but he seems to have forgotten something in his heart, but he thinks about it for a while. Can't get up.

Left and right were idle, so Li Wei simply walked around, first went to the barracks for a tour, visited the soldiers stationed at the border, encouraged them, and asked the guards to distribute the stuff they brought, earning the soldiers' touch and loyalty. Then walk into the back camp to inspect.

The rear battalion is the supply camp, and most of the battalions are auxiliary soldiers responsible for the transportation of supplies, as well as a large number of skilled craftsmen, who are busy repairing damaged thunderbolt chariots and other heavy attacking heavy equipment.

The Thunder Chariot was the Qin Empire's killer weapon. Even if Li Wei took all precautions, it would be difficult to eliminate the pervasive details of the empires. The production of the Thunder Chariot had already been leaked, but the most critical parts were the gears and springs. The gears made of iron can't withstand a few times of use before they collapse, and it takes a long time to dismantle and replace them. The spring is also due to the iron quality, which directly affects the range and penetration power of the Thunder Chariot.

Although the empires have successfully obtained the production technology of the Thunder Chariot, the reason why they do not have a large amount of equipment is that the main parts and gears are too easily damaged, the range is not as far as that of the Thunderbolt Chariot, and the penetration power is obviously weak. It is completely different from the Thunderbolt Chariot of the Qin Empire. They are not at the same level. Therefore, most of the thunder chariots produced are installed on the top of the city and used as a fixed fort to defend the city.

In fact, it is iron smelting technology that affects the gear spring. Fortunately, the secrecy work is extremely strict. The smelting technology of carbonized steel is still his trump card and has not been leaked.

Such things as iron smelting technology, cement movable type printing, etc. are all inventions that cross the ages. It is needless to explain how powerful they are. Li Wei knows that although doing so is selfish, but in this continent where the jungle is prey to the jungle, these things are what he relies on for self-protection. Baby, how long can you keep it secret?

Seeing more than a dozen craftsmen gathered beside a Thunderbolt chariot, discussing something, Li Wei approached, and those craftsmen quickly bowed and saluted, looking anxiously at the young officials who came to inspect suddenly.

"You don't have to be too polite."

Li Wei waved his hand with a smile and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Now there was a brief silence, and a more courageous craftsman said: "Returning to the adults, Xiaomin is...discussing the accuracy of the Perak car..."

"Oh, how did the discussion go?"

Li Wei cheered up, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something, it turned out to be the accuracy of the thunderbolt chariot, because at that time he was in the dangerous pass of Pingtang, and he was so busy with the tragic offensive and defensive battle that he was overwhelmed. Forget it.

The accuracy of the thunderbolt chariot bombardment is indeed a big problem, and it must be solved. It is really high that these skilled craftsmen can think of this problem.
