Chapter 175: The two armies are about to fight

After Hong Chengchou received Qin Yu's war letter, he was also half angry, but fortunately, Qian Bin wrote it with his left hand, otherwise he would have to faint again after recognizing the handwriting.

It can be seen from this that King Qin's sinister intentions, but Qian Bin is not stupid, if Hong Chengchou knows that he is a thief, why not immediately send someone to kill his relatives and clansmen in his hometown?

Actually, he was angry, but looking at the war book, Hong Chengchou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It is better for the other party to be willing to go out of the camp for a decisive battle than to stay in the camp, after all, he has to go to war now, and the other party can drag it out for another month or two.

Now that he has sixty or seventy thousand horses in hand, he doesn't believe that he can't beat him, and it's better to fight him and lose both.

In fact, according to his original intention, he wanted to continue to hold on, after all, the art of war is cloudy, there is no certainty of victory, and he will never fight until he has to.

And this gang of thieves will always run out of food one day, and when the time comes, they will either choose to leave or come to attack him, no matter which one they are, he will have the advantage.

The head coach and civil official Hong Chengchou was half angry when he looked at the war book, and the reactions of the generals can be imagined, and Cao Bianjiao's fists were even more creaky.

They are officials, and the other party is a thief, and now the anti-thief has turned to the official army to issue a war letter, and the news of this matter will definitely make the world laugh.

And there is one of them here, and I am afraid that it will not leave a mark in the history books, and the dream of the famous minister of the coach Hong Chengchou through the ages, there is no need to think about it.

Hong Chengchou dispatched troops here, and Qin Yu was also not idle, almost all the soldiers and horses were transferred to the large camp outside the city, leaving only the rear camp and a few sappers in the city.

Two days later.

The army made food on the third watch, and the camp lined up on the fifth watch.

In just an hour, nearly 30,000 troops were marched.

As far as the eye can see, the spears are like a forest, the flags are dancing, and the army is like a rainbow.

Qian Bin, who was standing at the head of the wall, looked at the army from the camp to the complete formation, and his heart was also full of emotion.

Where is this anti-thief?

It is obviously a well-trained, well-equipped, and high-spirited army, which is not only glad that he defected in time, but also mourns for Hong Chengchou.

In comparison, the large camp of the official army was much more unbearable, and the 20,000 Qin troops did not spend much time and lined up in an orderly manner, but the 40,000 or 50,000 guards were not neat.

Looking at the noisy noise in the north, which had lasted for more than an hour from early morning, and there was not the slightest posture about to be extinguished, Qin Yu chuckled, choked out, pulled out his waist knife, and pointed forward.

"The whole army obeys the order and marches with drums!"

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Suddenly, the big drum on the chariot with twenty sides was beaten, and when the drum sounded, everyone in the army looked the same, no one was whispering, and began to slowly move forward under the command of the commanders.

The march of the army was about four miles wide.

Three infantry battalions and five firearms battalions headed the way.

The 12,000 men were still in a long line of serpents, with swords, shields, pikemen in front, musketeers in the center, and archers in the back.

They were followed by five battalions of soldiers, nearly 8,000 good khans, and 3,000 engineers, 11,000 men, also lined up in several rows.

In the end, there was the personal guard battalion led by Qin Yu and the female battalion of Hongying, except for more than 200 heralds standing on chariots, drumming and beating gongs, the rest were all on horseback.

Add up to more than 3,000 rides, and it's really scary to look at it from a distance.

————

Nearly 30,000 troops, walking and stopping to the sound of drums, were like a human wall, slowly advancing northward.

Hong Chengchou saw that the other party was the first to march again, and he couldn't care about the whole team, so he hurriedly climbed into the chariot and ordered people to beat drums and march.

After all, the two sides are separated by eight or nine miles, and if they take the opportunity to cover up, it will not be good if they are still in the whole team.

More than 20,000 Qin troops also started like a human wall, and after two months of targeted training by Hong Chengchou, the team walked quite neatly.

But the 40,000 or 50,000 guards in the back, under the leadership of the commanders and thousands of households, were like going to the market.

Some hooked shoulders and exchanged battlefield life-saving skills handed down from their ancestors, some walked quickly and wanted to catch up, and some ran around looking for companions.

As a result, the lineup looks several times larger than Qin Yu and them, and the timid ones are afraid that they will really be frightened and flee.

Fortunately, Hong Chengchou put them all behind, but it did not affect the Qin army in front.

The Chinese army walked out of six miles before taking up a position, resulting in the official army only walking out of two miles before it had to stop, just enough for 60,000 troops to spread out.

It is not so much that the two armies went out of the camp to fight, but that Qin Yu led the army to the door, and the other party lined up in front of the camp to meet the enemy.

After delaying for so long, it was already noon at this time, and the whirring cold wind was blowing from north to south, making everyone shiver.

The two armies were nearly 100,000 horses, and they were less than a mile apart at the moment, and the people in the depressed atmosphere seemed to be out of breath.

In the face of such a scene, even if a cowardly person is, the blood in his body involuntarily begins to burn, and the generals on both sides are even more warlike.

Obviously, the history of wars in China for thousands of years has made the people of this nation inherit a trace of war genes in their bones.

It wasn't until the battlefield was completely quiet that the officers and soldiers rushed out and ran towards the opposite side.

came to the middle and shouted: "Listen to the thief on the other side, my family supervisor has asked your Xiaohua King to come out to answer!" ”

"The other side..."

"Damn, this old thing doesn't have any skills, but there's a lot of."

Qin Yu frowned, and couldn't help but scold, obviously a little unhappy in his heart, because the other party's speed was too slow, which caused it to drag on until noon.

These officers and soldiers have two meals in the morning and evening, but they have three meals, and it is natural for them to get used to it, and now I am afraid that their stomachs are a little croaking.

He's a little hungry anyway.

But the other party actually asked him to go out to talk, and if he didn't go, he would inevitably weaken his momentum, and the big war was imminent, even a little bit of momentum was related to victory or defeat, and it was all to be fought for.

So I had to pick a dozen guards to follow, carrying the military flag, and running forward, and everyone was equipped with three firearms.

Hong Chengchou stood on the chariot, and slowly walked forward, with a bright light armor on his body, a helmet, and a sword tied around his waist, which looked a little nondescript.

Both sides were afraid that the other party would secretly use cold arrows and not talk about martial virtues, so they stopped after a distance of more than ten zhang.

It's really people's hearts that are not ancient, and the world is declining.

If you let those generals and seniors in Huaxia see today's two junior coaches talking before the battle, they are all afraid of dying like this, and they don't even dare to touch their faces, I don't know how to feel!

But the two didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this, but felt that the other party was a cautious person, and began to look at each other by themselves.

Forty meters is not far away, and it is not close to say that it is close, Qin Yu's eyes are good, so he can naturally see it clearly.

He didn't expect that this famous minister of the Ming Dynasty who was as famous as Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting in the first half of his life, but the notorious big traitor who fought with Wu Sangui in the second half of his life, looked upright and quite elegant.

Hong Chengchou was a little short-sighted because he looked at the official document map at night all the year round, a pair of old eyes were squinted, and he didn't see Qin Yu's appearance clearly for a long time, and after seeing it clearly, he rubbed his eyes vigorously in disbelief.

It's like you've seen a ghost.

Although he heard the news from Xiangyang, he knew the foundation of this Xiaohua King, and Cao Bianjiao also described it himself.

But seeing it in person, Hong Laogou still couldn't accept it, and the anti-thief leader who tortured him for months was really just a teenager who didn't reach the weak crown.
