On the side of the chasm, when the military flags were unfurled, the smoke was curling, and the firebombs exploded in the Dongcheng Tower, Meng Wu felt bad. Sure enough, before the Chu army's boat docked, the Chu soldiers and soldiers rushed to jump ashore, and then set up a meal. The chasm is only four miles away from the outer city wall, and even if the imitation Lu Lijing is not clear, Chu Jun's movements can be seen very clearly. If you don't dissolve your armor and don't set up an account, it is clear that you want to fight to the death with yourself. To fight or not to fight, that's the question.

"Xiang Yan is only 150,000, please fight with him." Li Xin also stood at the head of Chen Yingcheng, Lu Li looked at Chu Junzai carefully in the mirror, he didn't think that the Chu army was difficult to fight, after all, his own number was overwhelming.

"Seventy percent of the Jing people hold spears...... "After half a year of fierce fighting, the Chu army's advantage in razing spears was fully revealed, and Feng Zheng felt palpitations when he thought of the dense spearheads." But I don't know why Xiang Yan moved the spear-wielding army to the right flank? ”

"Really fight with Xiang Yan, male and female, and wait for Wang Jian to return to Chen with 50,000 troops." Wei Yu on the side interjected. At his suggestion, Meng Wu had sent someone to urgently inform Wang Jian, asking Wang Jian to return to Chencheng with 50,000 people as soon as possible.

"General Wang was ordered by the king to save Yan, and he is no longer under the control of the general, and he may not be able to wait for him." Li Xin was high-spirited, and the siege battle in the past six months was very poor, and he had long hoped to have a field battle with the Chu army and decide the outcome in one battle. "Today, the Yan army has just arrived, and the soldiers are tired, if it can be said that its foothold is not stable and the battle is not stable, our army will win."

Li Xin's judgment about Wang Jian was not wrong, but his prediction of the Chu army was all wrong. The battle of Qingshui the year before last Mengwu dealt with the Chu army, which was one attack after another, and it was only after rubbing its sharpness that it fought a decisive battle with Xiang Yan, rather than a decisive battle with him as soon as he came up. The Chu people are hot-blooded, and fighting with him when his blood is burning is the next step, if you can harass him, exhaust him, delay him, wear down his will, and dampen his spirit, and then fight with him, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

As a young general, Li Xin obviously did not have such combat experience, and Meng Wu did not want to teach these things in front of everyone, so he kept silent. That is, he didn't say war, and he didn't say no, at this time, Wei Xiangziji came quickly.

"General Meng, Xiang Yan's army has arrived, and our army is afraid that it will not be invincible." Ziji smiled wryly, the person has not yet arrived, and the words have arrived first.

Chen Ying's outer city was thirty miles in circumference, and it was barely said that there were 40,000 or 50,000 casualties in such a city (this needs to be forgotten that the outer city was flooded), but the attack on Xiaowangcheng caused another 40,000 or 50,000 casualties, which made all the Wei generals very disappointed. Especially the day before yesterday, the Chu army galloped in the royal city on iron horses, killing half of the crossbowmen, which made the Wei army talk about Chu and change color.

"Why did Xiangbang say that?" Meng Wu smiled and saluted Zi Ji, although the generals behind him disdained Zi Ji, they also followed suit.

"The generals heard that Xiang Yan's army was coming, and then they heard that Xiang Yan's army was smiling, and they wanted to pull out the camp and return to Weiye." Zi Ji continued to tell each other, and everyone in the Chu army was terrified. On the opposite side, the giant iron spear is a death, and without armor is already a death, and many people would rather not wear armor.

"How so?" Mengwu finally changed color, the Qin army was 100,000, plus the cavalry army was only 110,000, and the Wei army was 150,000.

"After a long siege, our army suffered more than 100,000 casualties, and it was ...... before" There are some things that the Qin army may not remember, but the Wei army remembers. At the beginning, their army had captured Chencheng, it was the Qin army that let them withdraw, and this retreat and then attacked it and killed 40,000 or 50,000 people, and then the battle for the royal city was even more tragic, and countless Wei soldiers fell down the royal city and were stabbed to death by the sharp wood under the city.

On another occasion, the Wei army was introduced into the city and suffered more than 10,000 tragic deaths, while the Qin army suffered only a few thousand casualties. Rumors arose because of this, some people said that the Qin people helped Wei to attack Chu was the poisonous plan of the Qin State to destroy Wei, and this fake Chu army annihilated the Wei army. Once the Wei army died in Chu, the Qin people would destroy Wei in a big way.

"Xiangbang is the commander of the Wei army, who dares to be so bold to withdraw the camp and return to Wei?" Wei Yi also sensed the seriousness of the matter, and the Wei army was unstable, which was extremely unfavorable to the war.

"The commander of the Wei army?" Zi Ji wanted to cry without tears, but he pointed to his nose and said, "In the army of the country, I am already a thief of Wei and a dog of Qin. Please make a quick decision to the general, or fight with Xiang Yan today, or withdraw the camp and retreat, and he will attack Chen Ying again in the future. ”

"Ridiculous! So far, the Qin and Wei armies have suffered nearly 200,000 casualties, how can they abandon Chen? Li Xin was furious. He randomly waved to Meng Wu, "Please ask the general to fight with Xiang Yan today, and I am afraid that something will happen at night." ”

"Report!" The fast horse stopped under the city, and a soldier hurriedly rushed to the east city, and bowed from afar: "General Yu, General Wang said that his king's life is in his body, and the time to save Yan is limited, and the Jing people are only 150,000, and Qin Wei has more than 200,000 can be broken with a drum, and he does not want to return to Chenye." ”

"This Wang Scissors!" Wei Yi was furious, Wang Jian took away 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 foot soldiers, and his 50,000 army did not come, and the outcome was unpredictable.

"Wang Jian was born as a fighter, but he was a disciple of the drill camp, and he knew that Chen Ying would not be promoted to the knighthood again, and the Zhao army attacked Yan and went to Yishui, and the south of Handan was empty, and Zhao Yi was promoted to the knight." Feng Zai did not shy away from it, and directly told Wang Jian's thoughts, which made everyone frown.

"When he sees the king to his face, I will slander him." Li Xin was also furious, although he didn't think that without Wang Jian's 50,000 troops, he couldn't defeat Xiang Yan, but Wang Jian was so mercenary, which was really despicable.

"Please send someone to reprimand him again, Wang will cut the army, and our army will win." Wei Yi regained his senses after being angry and persuaded Meng Wu to send another envoy.

"Shangqing is mistaken. Wang Jian has been ordered by the king, but he is no longer under the control of the general, and there is a time limit to save Yan, so he will not save it. Feng Zheng said again, and then he looked at Meng Wu, who was still silent, "General Mingjian, Wang Jian no longer helps me, if you don't fight today, the Wei army will no longer have the will to fight, and our army can only retreat; If there is a war, you may be able to take advantage of the fact that the Jing people have come from afar to gain a foothold and not win steadily. ”

"General Yu: The northern city wall has collapsed, there is no grain in the army, and it is difficult for our army to retreat into the city; If he does not retreat into the city, Xiang Yan will go forward to fight with our army in the field. The south of the city is the land of the Wei army, and if the Wei army collapses again, the major events will be suspended. Li Xin also admonished.

"Please general, fight quickly!" Ziji didn't want to suffer anymore, he just wanted to end the pain quickly.

No one knew what Meng Wu thought, and after the generals persuaded him, he was silent for a while, and finally said hoarsely: "Beat the drum, summon the general." ”

The sound of drums suddenly sounded in Chen Yingcheng, although it was rapid, but it was only a burst. Outside the city and inside the city, everyone understands that this is the Qin army gathering generals. Looking at the wooden tower that was gradually taking shape, Xiong Jing kept rubbing his hands in excitement, he missed the food in Yingdu and the scenery outside the city so much.

"Qin Jun gathers generals, what does the teacher think?" The wooden tower was set up on a three-meter-high platform, and Xiong Jing couldn't wait to ask Lian Po again.

"The king is in a hurry." Lian Po rarely laughed a few times. He previously said that the drum sound is the reinforcement forward and it is also blind nature, but the Qin army's drumming and gathering generals is different, a small forward is not worthy of the Qin army's gathering of generals, so it must be Xiang Yan who has arrived, and has already landed on the shore to line up, otherwise Mengwu will not be able to beat the drum and gather generals.

Lian Po said Xiong Jing was stunned for a moment, and he said again: "The minister is also anxious." It's a pity that our army is trapped in the royal city and has no help for General Xiang's field battle. ”

"Our army?" It is surrounded by walls more than nine meters high, and even if it is bombarded with trebuchets, it cannot be blasted in a day or two. The prestige of the trebuchet was established by the old and thin Jucheng city wall and the simple stone Mulingguan wall, and it was not as exaggerated as the legend suggests. The Chu army, which has no siege equipment, really can't take the enemy army in one day or two.

"Please calm down for a while, our army should be strictly defended at this moment, instead of attacking the royal city and helping General Xiang to fight." Lian Po pinched his white beard, thinking that Xiong Jing was completely different.

"Ahh Xiong Jing looked incredulous, "Teacher thinks the Qin army is going to attack me?" ”

"Be prepared." Lian Po nodded. This was a danger he instinctively perceived, and a decisive battle between the two armies was by no means something that could be fought if he wanted to. He was worried that the Qin army would not be willing to spit out the fat meat to his mouth, and when he was holding on to Xiang Yan's army, he sent tens of thousands of people to storm Tucheng day and night. Once the Tucheng was breached, the Qin army could show the head of Xiong Jing before the battle, which made Xiang Yanjun's heart tremble.

Of course, Lian Po was a Zhao man in the end, and he didn't understand the fiery temperament of the Chu people, thinking that Xiang Yan would cautiously test the enemy army first, and then fight a decisive battle with it. The real situation outside the city was that the 5,000 vanguards rushed straight into the Wei army camp regardless of the formation and the ambush, and finally won. And the 155,000 army under Xiang Yan did not set up a tent at all, and the soldiers tasted like chewing wax when they ate, and their eyes only stared at Chen Yingcheng, whose enemy flag was fluttering, and everyone knew that the king was not in the palace and was guarding the last hall.

When the last mouthful of soup was drunk, the fierce Chu pawn raised the counterweight at the end of the spear and stabbed the copper kettle with two strokes. The cauldron did not first appear in Julu, in the Spring and Autumn Period, King Wu of Chu attacked Suiguo for the last time, and the soldiers broke the cauldron to show their will to fight to the death before crossing the Han River.

After the morning meal, the 160,000 army began to deploy according to Xiang Yan's arrangement. The pawns of the Gong clan and the pawns of Yingdu are on the right, 40,000 elites are in the middle, 30,000 county pawns, 15,000 Xiang divisions, and 5,000 Tang divisions are on the left. The entire army formation was more than 5,200 columns wide, arranged in gaps of one foot and one meter, and its length was more than five kilometers.

With such a wide array, the thickness is worth playing. The thickness of all razing spears is 20 lines, and the thickness of non-razing spears is 40 lines, only the Tang division under the command of the lone traveler has a pawn with a razing spear, and their formation is a standard 15x15, standing on the far left of the military formation.

A hundred steps behind the battle is the reserve of the Chu army. They were arranged in a matrix three hundred wide and one hundred thick. 20,000 kings are on the right, and 10,000 elite soldiers belonging to the Chinese army are on the left - the military formation is by no means static, the enemy must be in formation, and the two armies will rush towards the opponent's army formation in the sound of drums, and these 10,000 elite soldiers will chase the Chinese army a hundred paces away and gallop towards the Qin army.

At that time, the Chu army array will no longer be a straight line, but will evolve into a standard inverted T. In the last Battle of Qingshui, the Chu army retreated sixty or seventy steps after the engagement, introduced the Qin army into the formation, and then attacked it with the left and right armies; This time, after the battle of the Chu army, the Chinese army advanced a hundred paces. As for why they fought like this, except for a few people such as Xiang Yan, Peng Zong, and Deng Sui, the elite general, the other generals did not understand, and what they had to do was to stabilize the front, especially the left-wing front.
