The trebuchet is retreating, and even if the dozen tons of guy can pull it, it will be difficult to move. Xiong Jing's chariot was just in front of the trebuchet, and seeing that it was so difficult for people to pull the oxen and move around, he remembered the torsion trebuchet that was the same as Jing's crossbow. Unfortunately, beef tendon is limited, and although this trebuchet is simple, it cannot be manufactured in large quantities.

"Why didn't the left army enter the ......" Xiong Jing was looking at the trebuchet, and Lian Po was looking at the left and right armies. The Qin army was ambushed, and the left and right armies should have attacked vigorously, but the left army did not move. He looked at the right army again, and the flag on the right did not enter, and the horizontal attack unexpectedly stalled.

The Qin army had arrows from time to time, and the front edge of the car was protected by a shield, but in order to see the reason, Lian Po stood higher and higher, and finally stood on the chariot, and several crossbow arrows came, fortunately the distance was far away, and the shot was missed, Xiong Jing was worried, and was about to remind him to be careful, Lian Po had already gotten down from the chariot.

"King, the left and right armies are no longer advancing." Lian Po said bluntly.

"Why don't you go in?" Xiong Jing was puzzled, he remembered that after the Qin army was put into his pocket, the next thing to do was to attack, Xiang Yan also told him a figure of three hundred steps, that is, as long as the left and right armies attacked three hundred steps, the Qin army would be defeated.

"This ......" The enemy and I are mixed in the military formation, and all we can see is each other's military flags, and Lian Po doesn't know the exact reason, but he can guess the approximate reason after a long battle. Our army has the largest number of soldiers and soldiers in the Yingshi, Lu and Wu Yuezhi divisions, and the generals take the Lu division as the left army and Wu Yuezhi's division as the right army...... These two divisions are the weakest of our army. ”

"The weakest?" Xiong Jing was surprised, Wu Yuezhi's division did not have armor, he knew, but before the decisive battle, Xiang Yan had already found a way to find them two thousand sets of armor, and Lu Shi was not impressed. Why did the teacher say that? The soldiers of the Yue people dare to die......"

"Ran Yue is short in stature." Lian Po rudely interrupted. "The people of the Central Plains were born higher than the people of Wu Yue."

"Born...... Higher than? Xiong Jing never paid attention to the height difference between the Central Plains and the Wuyue people, because he himself was very short. But thinking of later generations, northerners were indeed taller than southerners, and he couldn't help but be silent.

"The Qin army is the elite of the county soldiers, but our army is ......" Lian Po sighed. Because of the fear that the Qin people would destroy the country, the counties of Chu were basically swept away as soldiers, except for those who were six feet five inches old, and the height of some counties was relaxed to six feet or even below. The ruler of Chu is slightly shorter than that of Qin, six feet is only 135cm, while Qin's ruler is 138cm.

It is not outrageous to be conscripted to this height, and the laws of the Qin State and even the laws of various countries believe that a man is six feet five inches (Qin ruler 150cm, Chu ruler 146cm) is an adult. In the battle of Handan after Changping, the five-foot (about 115cm) men of the Zhao State had to go into battle, not to mention that the Chu State had not recruited a five-foot boy this time. There are more than 200,000 Qin troops and 270,000 Chu troops, which is more than the Qin army in terms of numbers, but the Chu army, which sweeps the floor and is a mixed old and young, cannot be compared with the Qin army at all. This is the gap between the vagines, but also the gap in the population base, and the vacancies of all countries are not exactly the same.

"I see." Lian Po's meaning is not finished, but Xiong Jing already understands. He suddenly remembered the War of Resistance: how many times did China . The army surrounded the Japanese army heavily, but it could not attack, eat, or destroy, and in the end it was half killed by the Japanese army in the encirclement, and then marched away. At that time, it was because of the lack of artillery, and now, in the era of cold weapons, the physical fitness, protection, and morale of the soldiers determine the combat effectiveness. The morale of the Chu army is not lacking, both sides of the protection are leather armor, and what the Chu army lacks is physical fitness: too short and too weak.

"It seems that the Chu people will eat more meat from an early age in the future." A few months ago, because of the shield, Xiong Jing mentioned what he said to Deng Sui again. But the last time I said it was a matter of course, but this time it was quiet.

"How can ordinary people eat meat since childhood?" Lian Po certainly knows the importance of meat, but it's hard to achieve. "I heard that only Li Mu's pawn in Dai County can often have meat, and there are many sheep and horses near the grassland."

"Li Mu ......" If usually, when mentioning Li Mu Xiong Jing, he always has to ask a few more words, but now the victory of the Chu army is very likely to turn into a rout, he has no intention of asking Li Mu, he only said: "Teacher, what should our army do now?" Did the Qin army withdraw its troops? ”

"Right now, our army ......" After taking Xiong Jing's words, Lian Po stroked his beard and thought: "At present, our army has been riding a tiger and it is difficult to take it, and the Qin people have not been able to raise gold for a long time, and I am afraid that there is no intention of withdrawing troops." It is difficult to predict what this battle will be. ”

"There's no way?" Xiong Jing's eyes were fixed on the trebuchet again, but the thing could not be fired now. "How's the bow and arrow? Our army has nearly 30,000 archers, and they can fire 10,000 arrows at once. ”

"Chu arrows are more light arrows," Lian Po shook his head, "It's so close, only by throwing, the Qin army is in armor, what can the Qin army do?" ”

"Light arrows?" Xiong Jing really doesn't know much about bows and arrows, and he doesn't understand why Chu arrows are mostly light arrows.

"Shoot more than 150 steps, what is it if it is not a light arrow?" Lian Po asked rhetorically, "The armor of armor is extremely heavy, the shooting step is extremely close, and the arrow is not fast, and its shot should be a direct shot rather than a projectile." In my opinion, most of the archers of the Chu army are proud of their archery, and they are good at wearing Yang in a hundred steps. However, the army does not focus on archery, only kills the enemy, the arrows are light, what is the use of piercing Yang in a hundred steps? 30,000 archers is not as good as 5,000 crossbowmen. ”

Lian Po's unsparing criticism made Xiong Jing blush. A few months ago in Yingdu, the archers in the sanitation competition was a hundred steps through the Yang, and he also gave money to help the fun. Now I know that archery is just archery, and it is all a showmanship to kill the enemy without breaking armor. If he was undefeated in this battle, he vowed to change all Chu arrows into armor-piercing heavy arrows, and also, the Qin army's crossbow was only wound with one foot, and he wanted to make a crossbow with two feet wound.

There are many thoughts, but unfortunately it is all for the future. At present, the attack on the Qin army is not successful, maybe the Chu army will collapse in an instant, and then he will be captured by Mengwu, escorted to the Qin State, and killed Xianyang; Or if you want to taste the pulled out by Qin Shi Huang like Gou Jian, to judge whether he is healthy or not, ...... is better to die in battle today!

"Doctor Protector, why is this?!" Xiong Jingzheng made up his mind to die in battle today, and Xin Wu, the general of the left army who hurried to the shogunate, couldn't help but question Sikong Ma loudly. "Our army is in ambush, and the two armies on the left and right of the Jing people are attacking me, when will we withdraw our troops if we don't withdraw at this time?"

"Withdrawal must not be done at this time!" Sikong Ma still has this attitude, "The Jing people attack, but if our army can break through the Jing people's Chinese army, this battle will be won." General Xin and General Yang should know that our army's vehicles have been dispatched, and they only need to clean the roads. ”

"At this time, 200,000 people of our army are gathered in one place, the array is chaotic, and the dead bodies are scattered in the array, how to clear the road?" Meng Wu's face was full of anger, Yang Duan and Xin Wu were both there at this time, and he had to fight with Sikong Ma to the end. If he doesn't agree to Mingjin to withdraw his troops, he and Yang Duanhe and Xin Wu will stop fighting and let him clean up this mess.

"How to clean up is a matter for General Meng. I only know that if our army retreats, it will be pursued by the Jing people, not to mention the heavy casualties, and all the gains made before will be in vain. Sikong Ma bit his cheeks, his face bulging, anyway, he just didn't want to withdraw his troops.

"That being the case...... Meng Wu took out the tiger talisman given by the king of Qin, "Please ask the protector doctor to take back the tiger talisman and dismiss me as the main general." ”

"Ziwu! General Meng! Yang Duanhe and Xin Wu were taken aback by his actions, but they didn't expect him to propose a strike.

"Never!" The veteran Xin Wu had a good relationship with Meng Wu's father, Meng Fu, and he hurriedly snatched Meng Wu's tiger talisman. "How can you give up so lightly, and put the king's trust in such a place? Where are the generals of the three armies? At this moment, they are surrounded by the Jing people, if you stop our army, how can we fight? ”

"Ziwu must not be like this." Yang Duanhe, the general of the right army, was about the same age as Meng Wu, and he was even distressed to see him so resolute. He said, "I have a plan, or it works." ”

Sikong Ma didn't seem to care whether Meng Wu dismissed the general or not, and just smiled at his move to return the tiger talisman, but when he heard Yang Duanhe say that he had a strategy, he immediately asked: "What is General Yang's strategy?" Please tell me 12. ”

"The last general will not dare." Yang Duanhe said, "The formation of the Jing people is based on the left and right armies as the pillars, and the Chinese army as the pocket. At this time, our army's formation was chaotic, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and the Jing people's rear army came to their aid, and it was impossible to break the Chinese army. In addition to Mingjin's withdrawal, our army can still attack its left and right columns, and if the pillars collapse, the formation will be broken, and our army should be safe. ”

"Hit the pillar?" Xin Wu was the first to speak, and he sighed: "There are thousands of armies on the left and right of the Jing people, and it is not easy to talk about the collapse of the formation. ”

"Otherwise," Yang Duanhe waved his hand: "The left and right armies of the Jing people are all soldiers who fight to the death, but after twenty lines is the division of the horizontal attack, which is across our central army, and then on the side." If you can hit it from behind, the formation will collapse immediately. ”

"Behind it, on the side?" Xin Wu began to think. He recalled the battle formation of the Chu army, but as Yang Duanhe said, the first twenty lines of the right army of the Chu army were facing him, but the array after the twenty lines was horizontal to himself, and his back was exposed outside the formation, which was the flank of the entire army formation.

"There is no danger on the flanks of the two armies on the left and right of the Jing people, and our army's chariots can charge on their flanks. The last general asserted that if his back was attacked, his army would be in disarray. Yang Duanhe once again emphasized his strategy, which he had considered before he came.

"However, our army was exhausted, and the cavalry army did not have time to return to help." Meng Wu finally calmed down and began to consider Yang Duanhe's strategy.

"The guard camp can produce 4,000 people." Sikong Ma immediately said that he had ignored Qin Law for the sake of victory.

"The general has four thousand short soldiers, and I have a thousand short soldiers." Yang Duanhe said again, looking at Xin Wu. "There may be 10,000 of them."

"I also have a thousand men." Xin Wu understood his gaze and also sent out his 1,000 short soldiers.

"Great goodness, there are already 10,000 people." Yang Duanhe's spirit was greatly lifted, "We just need to discuss whether to attack the left or the right......"

"Our army can't attack, please send our division to attack the Qin army shogunate quickly. As soon as the banner falls, the Qin army will be chaotic. If it's too late, the net will be broken! "The Qin army shogunate is discussing, and the Chu army shogunate is also discussing, unlike the Qin army's chariot rushing into battle, Xiang Zhi, the general of the Xiang division, wants to smash the Yellow Dragon directly.

"Yes, father, our army has 1,500 cavalrymen, why don't you go straight to the Qin army shogunate?" Xiang Chao, who was still wearing a leather jacket, also said that he and Fu Jing and others passed through the Chinese army and returned to the shogunate. "The child will take the banner of the Mongolian generals."
