"What? The army of Sima Li poured out of the nest and launched an attack on us? Zhao Xing couldn't believe his ears, and looked at Xu Jie suspiciously: "We are the attacking side, he is the defending side, how can he not follow the rules and honestly defend the city?" Isn't this a reversal? ”

Xu Jie looked at the head of the family who was happy because the enemy took the initiative to attack, and his face was like jasmine, and he expressed his disgust with his cheap and obedient expression: "Now, Sima Li has more soldiers than us, and he has 20,000 Chinese army chariot soldiers and 20,000 cavalry on the left and right, which is superior to us in terms of numbers, and better than us in terms of troop cooperation. ”

Zhao Xing pretended to nod deeply: "Joining the army is right, we are at a disadvantage." However, since we switch offense and defense, and I am a person who talks about the rules, then I will honestly defend it, and I will definitely not move. ”

"Send someone to bring back the two generals."

"A decisive battle? No, no, no, go and inform the two generals that I am here to resist and drag the enemy away, and then they will raid behind and destroy Sima Li in the field. ”

The messenger immediately flew away.

Le Yi and Zhao Hao heard that Sima Li's whole army was dispatched to fight a decisive battle with his brother, and they glanced at each other at that time, and then Le Yi said to Zhao Hao casually: "If my brother and Sima Li are fighting together, so that Sima Li can't get out, and then my brother will stand up for a while, and we will ride out lightly and raid the left." ”

Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, and finally pinched his chin and regretted: "If my brother can fight with Sima Li outside for an hour, then we can capture Zuoren from behind the left man, and then we will attack again while the enemy's military heart is shaken, what a perfect victory it will be." ”

Then the two men turned to each other and bowed their heads back to each other in silence.

The person who reported the news stared and waited for a long time to see that the two generals did not receive the order, and he was anxious: "Two generals, the military situation is urgent, please make a quick decision, and the small one can reply to the order." ”

The two of them turned around, you look at me and I look at you for a while, Le Yi's mouth was closed tightly, Zhao Hao couldn't look at it anymore, so he could only stiffen his head and say: "Well, this, that, please go back and resume your life, just say I'll think about it again." ”

This messenger has nothing to do with these two, although these two are one of the commanders in the army, but he is also a brother, and the relationship is complicated. I can't manage it, I can't manage it, so I have to go back to my life quickly.

Looking at the back of the messenger in the distance, the two brothers suddenly pointed at each other and said in unison: "You are very insidious." Then they raised their hands and high-fived them together: "Let's act." ”

Before the messenger returned to the army, Zhao Xing was fighting against Sima Li, and Zhao Xing retreated step by step. Hearing the messenger's report, Zhao Xing was furious at that time: "What are the two of them doing, I'm starting to act, what else does he have to consider, what do you have to consider?" Then he greeted Zhao Wujian directly: "Go, take the military order, no, take my family law, you go in person." ”

Xu Jie grabbed Zhao Wuji, but asked the messenger, "What did the two generals say at that time?" ”

And the messenger told them both as they were.

When Xu Jie heard this, he said to Zhao Xing with a smile: "My lord, you were sold by your two brothers, and I seriously doubt your character now." ”

Zhao Xing listened, pondered for a while, but his face was full of joy, "Sure enough, he is a famous general, he is really decisive and resolute, for the sake of victory, even my brother betrayed and sacrificed." Zhao Wuji. ”

"Lord." Fire extinguished

"Take the family law, go to those two guys, tell him I agree with their suggestion, and then give them a hard lesson."

Zhao Wujian happily got on his horse and drove directly to the army of two.

Zhao Xing looked at the weather, and then looked at Sima Li's army of more than 40,000 chariots and cavalry on the opposite side, and said at that time: "I have 20,000 cavalry, 10,000 cavalry, and I have to face the opponent's 40,000 chariots and cavalry, and I have to entangle him, it seems that my pressure is huge." ”

Xu Jie said: "If you want to entangle him, you must attack him, we can't rely on three thousand camels to surround the formation and just guard, it seems that we have to pay a certain price." ”

"But the losses will still be smaller than the siege, and the main thing is that we can save time. Fight it. ”

As Zhao Xing made up his mind, he and Xu Jie immediately changed their formation, slowly retreated, and set up a posture of starting a decisive battle on the spot.

Sima Li was very gentlemanly and personable, he saw Zhao Xing put on a decisive battle posture with him, and immediately stopped the pace of the attacking formation that was pressing step by step, and waited for Zhao Xing to set up the formation. This is the rules of the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhongshan people have always taken it as their responsibility to integrate into the Central Plains, so everything is based on the most orthodox rules of the Central Plains as the code of conduct, so, Sima Li, very Spring and Autumn.

However, he forgot that this was the Warring States, the Warring States who did not care about the rules and etiquette for the sake of victory, and opposite him, there were two more unruly guys who were for victory. Gentlemen and scoundrels pay attention to manners, which is the sorrow of a gentleman.

Sima Li's formation was based on chariots and infantry as the center, and his 20,000 cavalry were divided into left and right guards, and were always ready to outflank the left and right.

In response to the enemy's formation, Zhao Xing gave him a-for-tat, and put Lin Hu's 3,000 camels, 10,000 soldiers and auxiliaries into the Chinese army, specifically to deal with the slow-moving chariots and infantry. Then he divided his cavalry into two parts, one with 5,000 soldiers, led by Zhao Wuji, to deal with the 10,000 cavalry on the enemy's side. Concentrate 15,000 soldiers, led by himself, plus the elite 500 Junqiu soldiers in the elite, to launch an attack on the enemy's right flank, striving to collapse one side first, and then storm the enemy's central army.

It took nearly an hour for Zhao Xing to set up the formation, and then said to Xu Jie, who was standing on the tanker: "You are here to dispatch in the center, let the Poxi army strike at the enemy, but you must not contact them, just rely on our advanced weapons, fight and retreat, and kill and injure the enemy in large numbers." ”

Xu Jie nodded solemnly: "Lord, rest assured, please rest assured to charge and kill the enemy." ”

Zhao Xing is depressed, this subordinate sees his master charging into battle, not to mention replacement, and urging himself to charge, what kind of person is this, this is also a betrayal. Zhao Xing really doubts his character now.

But there is no way, the generals who lead the troops under their own command are scarce, and at this critical time, they can only go to the battlefield by themselves. If you want to count on Xu Jie to charge into battle, it is estimated that this powerless guy will be trampled into meat sauce by his own horse's hooves in the blink of an eye.

Xu Jie saw that his lord was ready with a large army, he rolled up his sleeves, personally picked up the drumsticks of the war drums, and struck it violently, which was to tell the other party that we were ready to stop, and you could launch an attack.

As his war drums roared, Sima Li gave a loud command to the drums and beat the drums to attack.

The first to launch was still his 25,000 Chinese army. 25,000 soldiers, in the face of 10,000 camel troops, he had absolute confidence to make the enemy's Chinese army collapse in a blink of an eye.

With the sound of the drums urging the battle, the Zhongshan Chinese army began to launch slowly, pressing on Xu Jie's Chinese army with the momentum of Mount Tai.
