What is the number of one hundred thousand people
Or just a number, not sure how many people it is. Vertex Novel Updates Fastest
Gu Nan understood it this way before he actually saw it.
But if you have really seen it, the person who is able to line up from one mountain to another will only know how insignificant and pitiful a person is.
More than ten miles outside of Xianyang City, a barracks of 100,000 soldiers was spread out in one piece. Gu Nan rode on a horse and exhausted his eyesight, but he could only vaguely see an end that seemed to exist and seemed to disappear.
This is a handwriting arranged by King Qin long ago.
The change of generals in Zhao Guo and Wu'an's expedition, these are all things that have already been calculated.
These 100,000 people have camped here for several days, just waiting for Bai Qi to march.
As they got closer, it was different from what Gu Nan had expected. He had thought that a barracks of 100,000 people would be such a big scene.
But now in front of her is an extremely quiet military camp, there is no noise at all, occasionally seeing a few soldiers passing by, maybe chatting with each other, the voices quickly disappear in this huge In the camp.
"Crack." The spears in the hands of several soldiers outside the barracks were put together, blocking the way of Bai Qi and Gu Nan.
"Woo." Bai Qi pulled the rein, the horse turned its head sideways, and stomped its hooves back and forth on the ground several times.
Gu Nan also patted Brother Hei on the neck lightly, Brother Hei slowed down and stopped.
"Who is coming?"
Bai Qi didn't say anything, and untied a sign from his waist.
The soldier just glanced at it, then quickly put away the spear lying in front of the two of them, and lowered his head.
"General."
"Yeah." Bai Qi accepted it, beckoned to Gu Nan, and urged the horse to go in first.
The soldier's eyes swept over Gu Nan's face, secretly surprised, but he didn't say much, just watched the two go in until they couldn't be seen.
"Hey, did you see it just now?" Someone asked.
Another voice answered.
"You are not talking nonsense, the person who followed General Bai Qi just now was a woman, right?"
"It's a woman, and she's really handsome. I almost lost my mind just now."
"But why did Mr. Wu An bring a woman in?"
"Miss Gu" said a soldier in a daze.
"Miss Gu?"
"Yes, just think about it. Have you heard that Mr. Wu An accepted a woman as his disciple, and the woman's surname is Gu."
"Ah, now that you've mentioned it, Miss Gu is said to be a rare talented woman. She is excellent in poetry and prose, and is highly valued by Lord Wu An in terms of military tactics."
A veteran frowned: "Excellent poetry? The battlefield is not a place for daughters, and few of us men can survive to go back."
"Stop talking." The man who looked like the captain gave the people behind him a glance: "You should keep these gossips privately. If someone listens to them, our team won't get any good results. "
The people behind shrank their necks, and no one spoke.
The general's tent is located in the middle of the barracks, even if he walked in through the camp gate, it took more than ten minutes to get to the center.
Along the way, except for the occasional few couples who could have a few words of conversation, most of the soldiers seemed to have the same face, a face of "waiting to die".
It was indeed a face waiting to die, with dull eyes and weak hands holding a weapon. The cloth robe and leather armor on his body looked like it hadn't been washed for a few days, and it was covered with a layer of dirt.
Going to war with such an appearance, or a national war like Changping, what is it if you are not waiting to die
Gu Nan walked on the road and looked at the lifeless barracks all around, frowning slightly.
Bai Qi seemed to have noticed this and glanced at the soldiers who walked past with their heads down: "Do you think this barracks is ugly?"
After hesitating for a while, Gu Nan nodded: "With such a mourning army, there is no one out of ten."
"Then what do you think it should look like?" Bai Qi's rhetorical question caught Gu Nan.
What should it look like? Energetic, shouting for Daqin and for the people? Look down on life and death, sacrifice your life for righteousness
Soldiers are people too.
Most of these people came to join the army for a bite of food at home and for the salary of the military camp. What's more, it is compulsory conscription.
Everyone who has come here understands that they are here to fight and die.
What else could there be on this face other than the look of waiting to die
Bai Qi walked in front of Gu Nan: "It's not bad to have these people in the war every year."
As he spoke, Bai Qi looked sideways at the soldiers who were eating dry rations that had frozen hard.
Gu Nan looked at Bai Qi from behind, the old man in front of him didn't say anything, but Gu Nan saw the heartache in his eyes.
It was so fleeting that Gu Nan even thought he had misread it.
"Wu An Jun." A loud shout caught Gu Nan's attention.
But in the distance, a young general in black armor trotted over on a white horse.
The man's face was still a little immature, presumably he was only in his twenties, it was rare for him to be a general at such a young age.
Holding a long halberd in his hand, the white horse under him is very handsome, but actually riding a white horse on the battlefield is somewhat unsafe.
After all, the white horse is too conspicuous, and it must be taken care of by the opponent's arrows. If it is not for oneself and its self-confidence, it is better not to ride it.
The young general ran to Bai Qi and Gu Nan after a few breaths, and looked at Bai Qi with a look of respect on his face.
But he was an energetic young man who was out of place in the barracks.
Gu Nan secretly glanced at his mouth.
To be honest, she was a little envious of the spirits of these young people. After all, they were still young and high-minded, which always made her feel old.
But there is no way, no matter who makes him already very old, he was already a half-step middle-aged man who was nearly thirty years old in his last life.
It's a pity that Gu Nan didn't realize that her current body is estimated to be seventeen or eighteen years old, but she is a little younger than the young general in front of her.
"Mr. Wu An, long time no see." The young general looked at Bai Qi excitedly: "I did have some answers to the few military issues I discussed with you last time, and I hope that I can give you some troublesome pointers when I have free time. Wu is grateful." Endless."
