Song Yi hung his sword on his waist and wore a leather armor.
There was a lot of chaos in Yan and Zhao, so it was normal for local nobles and nobles to have armor and weapons hidden in their homes.
In the past, Song Yi would have disdained wearing armor.
When a true man acts, he should move forward bravely. When he draws his sword, blood will flow all over the ground. There is no need for armor to protect himself.
But tonight, he still put on leather armor because what he was about to do was very difficult.
"Brother Song, there are twenty servants in my family, as well as thirteen young men and women from the countryside, all of whom are here."
Gu Xin was so excited that his ears turned red.
Behind him, twenty strong servants of the Gu family stood there.
They are all domestic servants of the Gu family, and they have been taught since childhood to be loyal to the Gu family.
Now the Young Master of the Gu family claims that the head of the family, Guze, was injured by the Qin people. Those Qin soldiers are even more brutal as the rumors say. Not only do they want to take away the entire Gu family's property, they even want to rob them and all their servants. He went to Qin to serve as a minister.
Young Master must uphold the righteousness of a light knight tonight and avenge the country of Yan and the head of the family.
The so-called master is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, whether it is for the sake of the Gu family or for themselves not to become ministers of the Qin people. Although these servants were frightened, they still picked up the weapons distributed by the young master.
Beside these servants, there were thirteen young men.
They were about the same age as Gu Xin, and were all underage. They were dressed in cloth and light shirts, and all of them were very athletic. Some of them were sitting with their legs crossed with a piece of grass in their mouths, while others were squatting on the ground with their crotches exposed. Looking down at the scene, laughing loudly.
They were either laughing or angry, but there was no trace of fear on their faces.
These are all chivalrous young men from Gubo Township. They are not engaged in production, but only like to fight bravely and sing generously and tragically.
They had long been dissatisfied with Guze's surrender to the Qin Army. Now that Young Master Gu was taking the lead, their hearts were boiling with passion. They all thought about doing something big tonight and becoming famous all over the world. They would not live in this world in vain. Last time.
Not to mention, according to what Gu Xin said, the burly man standing in front of them at the moment turned out to be Prince Yan Dan's guest, Song Yi, a well-known hero in Yan.
"My lords, the Qin people invaded our land of Yan, seized our capital, and killed our people. They are the enemies of all Yan people. Now they have come to Gubo Township to invade the land where your ancestors have lived for generations, and to destroy your All the parents and brothers are captured and made to serve as ministers and concubines. You are all hot-blooded men, how can you possibly accept such behavior?"
Hearing what Song Yi said, those young heroes all blushed and roared: "No!"
"I would rather die than be a slave of the Qin people!"
"Kill these Qin dogs and drive them out of Yan!"
…
Song Yi pressed his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet. Seeing that the blood of these young heroes was stimulated, he nodded with satisfaction.
This is how it should be, this is the true nature of my Yandi man.
"Well, since the kings are willing, then Song Yi will not hesitate to kill the Qin people together with the kings. Today, if the thing fails, I, the Song Dynasty, will die before the kings. If it succeeds, the names of the kings will also be remembered. Spread the word throughout the world, so that people from all the countries in the world will know that the bravery of our Yan people is definitely not limited to Jing Ke alone."
"I am willing to follow the Song Dynasty and kill the Qin people together!"
Gu Xin shouted with enthusiasm on his face. Behind him, the young knights and even the servants of the Gu family who were originally afraid became excited, and they all raised their arms and shouted, and there was no longer any fear.
The door to the Gu family's mansion opened, and Song Yi was the first to step out.
Gu Xin also took steps forward. When he reached the door, he couldn't help but look back at the back house.
At that glance, it was as if I could see through the house and see the bound and subdued old father, as well as his eyes full of fear.
"Ah Weng, I, Gu Xin, am also a man from the Yan Kingdom, and I will never be afraid of death."
He murmured, turned around and stepped out, his eyes full of determination without any hesitation.
A group of people walked towards the north gate in the dark night.
They didn't light torches. The moon was dark and the wind was high, so they couldn't see very far. But for these people who had lived in the countryside since childhood, they could find the Qin people's residence with their eyes closed.
At the north gate, a bonfire burned, and several figures sat around the flames, laughing and talking to each other.
Perhaps hearing the sound of footsteps, a Qin soldier raised his head and saw a group of figures emerging from the road in the countryside, dark and like ghosts.
"Who is it? Stop!"
He was startled and yelled at the crowd. The other four people also looked at him and reached for the weapons beside him.
"kill!"
What responded to him was a roar full of murderous intent, and then, a tall figure leaped over, as fast as the wind, and rushed to the bonfire in an instant.
The Qin army also picked up the bronze halberd at his side to fight back.
However, long troops are slow and short troops are fast. Moreover, Song Yi was a ranger and was good at fighting alone. He stabbed the Qin army to the ground in one round.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The rest of the Qin army shouted loudly, holding halberds and drawing swords.
The young men and servants of the Yan people rushed up and drowned the four people.
"Let's go, follow me and kill the commander of Qin Dog!"
Gu Xin shouted excitedly, took a few young men with him and kicked open a house on the side of the road.
According to his previous observations when delivering wine and meat, this should be the residence of the Qin Army's commander.
Now, if you are prepared and unprepared, you will be able to kill the commander of the camp. As long as this man dies, the Qin army will be in chaos and great things will be accomplished.
"Kill Qin Gou!"
The light knights followed Gu Xin and rushed into the house. They took the swords in their hands and stabbed the quilt on the couch.
After poking a few times, everyone found something was wrong.
Gu Xin pulled away the quilt and was shocked to find that it was empty inside.
"Didn't you sleep here?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Immediately afterwards, there were bursts of screams outside the house.
Something is wrong.
Gu Xin hurriedly walked out and saw a horrifying scene in front of him.
A group of armored Qin soldiers rushed out of the room on the opposite side.
They were covered with armor and had helmets on their heads.
The Qin soldiers in the front held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, while the Qin soldiers in the rear held spears and halberds in their hands.
They were arranged in an orderly manner and were fully armed. It didn't look like they were being attacked at all.
The screams just now were made by a few young men.
They wanted to rush into those rooms, kill with swords, and kill the sleeping Qin people until their blood flowed all over the ground.
Little did they know that what was waiting for them was the gleaming sword blade and the poking spear and halberd.
At this moment, these young knights were knocked to the ground by halberds, and then several Qin soldiers stepped forward and stabbed them to death.
"You young people have harmed the entire countryside."
Zhao Tuo was wearing armor and standing at the door.
Looking at the young heroes and servants of the Gu family who were surrounded by Qin soldiers, they couldn't help but sigh.
Things in Gubo Township finally took a path he didn't want to see.
Zhao Tuo's gaze swept over the astonished Gu Xin's face, past the young knights and the Gu family's servants, and finally landed on the tall figure.
The Qin army's infantry weapons here mainly use swords, halberds, spears, beryllium, bows, and crossbows.
The Ge was mainly used for vehicle combat, but according to "Chinese Military Equipment of the Past Dynasties", the Ge was basically replaced by the halberd on a large scale.
"Military Equipment of Chinese Dynasties" P22: During the Warring States Period, the protective performance of armor was improved. Bronze halberds with two functions of hooking and piercing were widely used. The use of halberds gradually decreased. In the Han Dynasty, when iron halberds replaced bronze halberds,
The Bronze Ge finally disappeared from the battlefield, and only had a place in the ceremonial guard.
From "Zuo Zhuan" to "Historical Records", there are a large number of records of the use of halberds, such as "inverting the halberd to defend the prince", "pulling the halberd to the right", "or hooking it with the halberd and breaking the elbow and dying". Archaeological excavations in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods have also been unearthed
There are a large number of bronze combined halberds, which shows its versatility.
