At this time, the 30,000 elite Chu army led by Tang Yu had already begun to set up a huge phalanx fifteen miles west of the Chu camp.

Not long after, a chaotic rout appeared in front of him, which was the defender of the large battalion led by Zhong Lijun.

Standing on a chariot at the front of the phalanx, Tang Yu saw the rout fleeing from a distance, and ordered: "Send two teams of soldiers to tell the rout, avoid the front, and go around behind the army from both sides." If you dare to attack the military formation head-on, you will be killed. ”

"Also, tell Zhong Lijun to let him gather the rout behind the general's formation and rearm the army."

"No."

After the sergeant of the herald left, Tang Yu spoke again: "The general of the herald will order, the whole army is ready, the crossbowmen are ready to shoot with arrows, and the spearmen are three steps forward and ready to meet the enemy." ”

"No."

Soon, more than 100 people immediately rushed out of the military array, one left and one right, divided into two columns, and shouted while meeting the rout: "The general has an order, the officers and men of the Chu army immediately avoid the front of the army, detour from both sides, and those who dare to attack the general's army formation will be killed." ”

At the same time, a scout went straight to Zhong Lijun's general banner, and after finding Zhong Lijun, he immediately gave an order: "Zhong Lijun, the general has an order, ordering you to immediately command the defeated army to bypass the front and reorganize the army after the army led by the general." ”

"No." Zhong Lijun responded, and then ordered to the guards on his side and the army that had not yet been chaotic: "Pass the order, guide the rout, and bypass the front of the general's army formation." ”

"No."

As the order was given, there were still soldiers commanded by the generals in the rout, and they immediately ran to the sides.

And the soldiers in the chaos, some of them deviated from the front with the flow, some of them heard the previous shouts and instinctively avoided the front, and some of them ran to the front of the Tang formation, and saw that the Chu army in front of them was murderous, and the crossbow was wound up and ready to shoot at any time, so they had to run away to both sides.

In the end, there were still some people who had not returned to their senses, or who did not believe in evil, still ran towards the phalanx.

Seeing that someone ran two hundred steps away in front of the phalanx, Tang Mo ordered expressionlessly: "Order, the crossbowmen of the front army immediately shoot three rounds of arrows in front of the open space. ”

"No."

As the order came out of the banner beside Tang Wu, on that side, the general of the bow and crossbow battalion got the military order, and he didn't want to give the order: "Shoot." ”

At the sound of an order, a rain of arrows immediately shot out from the Chu army's formation, and then, after a fleeting flight, it landed on the open space about one hundred and fifty steps ahead.

The rout army was still fleeing for its life, when they suddenly saw a rain of arrows shooting in front of them, and there was chaos immediately.

There are those who retreat, those who flee to the sides, and those who continue to flee forward.

In the end, after paying the price of hundreds of people, coupled with the deliberate guidance of Zhong Lijun and other generals, the rout army was diverted a mile in front of the Tang Fu phalanx, and one left and one right formed a "human" shape and fled in two ways.

After a while, Tang Yu saw that the deserters of the Chu army in front of him were gradually decreasing, and when he saw the pursuers of the Qi State appearing in the distance, he couldn't help but smile coldly.

A moment later, when the Qi army had already appeared a mile away, and it seemed that the Qi army was ready to divide its troops to pursue and kill the Chu army, Tang Wu ordered: "Order, beat the drum, charge." ”

"No."

The rapid sound of war drums suddenly sounded in the sound of a fight, and it spread far away for several miles, and the two armies of Chu and Qi, who were fleeing and chasing, were stunned at the same time.

This is the drums of war in the charge.

Those who flee don't need the drums of war, and neither do those who chase and kill.

ambushed.

This thought appeared in the minds of the people on both sides of the chase at the same time, and they all showed a look of horror and horror.

Then, seeing Tang Mo leading the Chu army to kill, the two armies of Qi and Chu showed completely different looks.

Even if the Qi soldiers in front of them had already seen the Chu army that was rushing over quickly, without receiving an order, they could only continue to pursue the fleeing Chu soldiers and soldiers, and did not dare to retreat.

And the Chu army was defeated, although it was his own reinforcements, and it was also the reinforcements led by the main general Tang Wu, although he was pleasantly surprised in his heart, but under the pursuit of the Qi army, he could only continue to flee.

Soon, the phalanx led by Tang Wu was in close contact with the six or seven thousand Qi troops in front.

One is waiting for work, the other has been chasing for more than ten miles, one has a heart, and the other has no heart.

At the moment of the battle, the Qi army fell into an absolute disadvantage, and it was defeated one after another, and under the barely maintained by the generals of the Qi army, it barely collapsed immediately.

On the other side, Tian Jia, who was slightly behind, heard the sound of war drums, and immediately ordered people to go to investigate, and on the other hand, he immediately gathered the Qi army and reorganized the army for battle.

Soon a scout rushed over: "General, the vanguard is here to report, when we were chasing and killing the Chu army, a Chu army of about 30,000 people suddenly appeared in front, under the banner of Tang Yu, put up a phalanx, and charged towards us. ”

"Tang Yu's department appeared suddenly, the vanguard was caught off guard, and he couldn't resist it, so please send someone to support him immediately."

"Thirty thousand? Tang Yu? Tian Jia muttered: "No wonder I can't see his figure in the Chu camp, it turns out that he came here." ”

As he spoke, a fierce light appeared in Tian Jia's eyes and said: "It's just that you lost your military camp, and in this field battle, 30,000 people want to stop my army of more than 100,000, this is a dream." Since you don't run, don't even think about running."

After speaking, Tian Jia quickly ordered: "Tell the vanguard, just say that Ben will arrive soon with reinforcements, let him hold on." ”

"No."

Then, Tian Jia ordered the general on his side: "Order, with the general as the center, immediately reorganize the army and set up a phalanx formation." ”

"No."

"General Ji, you lead the Qi army under your command and immediately attack the right flank of the Chu army from the left side."

Hearing Tian Jia's order, the discipline officer immediately responded: "No." ”

"General Zhang Ding, you immediately lead a Qi army and attack the left flank of the Chu army from the right side."

"No." Zhang Ding also took the order and left.

"Order, order Li Fu, the commander of the rear army, to immediately lead the rear army to detour to the rear of the Chu army, prepare to attack the rear of the Chu army, and don't let Tang Fu go."

"No."

"Send an order, send someone to monitor the surrounding movements, and report as soon as there is a situation."

"No"

The order was given, and Tian Jia waited for the main force to assemble while looking ahead.

As for the question of whether the Chu army had an ambush, Tian Jia also considered it.

One is that the Qi army has a large number of people, and these hundreds of thousands of troops have given Tian Jia enough confidence, and the second is that Tang Wu has few people, which gives Tian Jia enough confidence, and third, Tang Wu, these 30,000 people, did not choose to ambush and use a surprise ambush to defeat the pursuers in front of the Qi army, but used a formation to dare to face it, and Tian Jia, who was also forced, had to go up, and it was impossible for him Tian Jia to be deterred by the 30,000 Chu army.

The Qi army on Tian Jia's side was assembling, and another scout hurriedly ran over: "General, the vanguard is here to report, the Chu army's combat strength is amazing, the offensive is extremely fierce, and the front can no longer withstand it." Please send reinforcements as soon as possible. ”
