Chapter 55: Anger

As soon as the black face finished speaking, the black beard hummed, turned around and rushed towards Xia Yang, picked him up, and then rushed to the exit against him like a sack. At this time, the sound of the drums is no longer as subtle and unpleasant as before, but earth-shattering. The drums were even mixed with the shouts of 'Jing people, Jing people'. Xia Yang, who was carried by the black beard, had been struggling to come down, and when he heard the shouts of 'Jing Ren Jing Ren', he was also stunned for a while, and the Chu army finally came.

"Stop! Stop! "At the southern end of Bailu Plateau, the brigade commander and pawn commander of the Chu army who had just walked out of the mountain range were shouting orders. Hundreds of thousands of Qin troops on both sides of the Bashui River were beating drums, and the drums were deafening, and they had to shout at the soldiers.

"Armor!" Every division, every brigade, and every pawn has its own military flag, and at this moment the sergeant only has that flag in his eyes and only the officer's orders in his ears. Hearing about the armor, they worked in pairs, untied the armor on each other's backs, and quickly put on the armor. Everyone's heart was trembling, but their hands were not shaking at all.

The Qin camp was constantly beating the drums, and the one in front of him was still in formation. And the four divisions led by himself had no formation, because they were in armor. In the sound of the armor, Xiong Jing had no time to look at the scenery north of the Qinling Mountains, and even more so to look at the Qin Palace in Weinan. His gaze only fell on the Qin army, who was flustered but methodically arrayed.

The upper and lower hills are full of military curtains, the north and south of Bashui are all Qin troops, all the military drums have been beaten, and the soldiers can be seen running within a radius of dozens of miles. Xiong Jing suddenly wanted people to paint this scene, preferably as an oil painting, only the color of the oil painting could truly show the grand picture he saw now. However, oil paintings are unlucky, such as the two saints' persuasion drawings.

"The king, the king of Qin, Wang Zhouye!" The intelligence of the Qin army was collected by the Xianyang Hou spy and transmitted to Yingdu by carrier pigeons, and then transmitted from Yingdu to the front line. The carrier pigeon can fly more than 1,000 miles a day, and it takes two days to fly from Xianyang to Ying, and then it comes from Yingdu, and the news is two to three days behind. The information two or three days ago said that Zhao Zheng wanted to take Wang Zhou to Lantian in person, which seems to be true.

"King Qin doesn't know where he is?" Zhuang Wudi also looked at the tall king boat on the water.

"——! Start" It only takes half an hour for a soldier to put on his armor. Half an hour was not long after, but the Qin army, which had already finished the formation, had already strode over.

The Chu army of four divisions, plus Xiong Jing's eight royal pawns, even if you count the archers, there are only 20,000 people. The 20,000 men were not listed as a horizontal formation about 100 rows thick and 500 columns long like the Qin army, but 20,000 people were divided into a formation, and the length and width were all 60 columns. The four formations are staggered in front of the two in front and two behind, the former can retreat between the latter, and the latter can also advance to the former. On the left side of the four large arrays, there are the knights of Concubine Jing, Qinling is difficult to walk, and the jockeys led by him are not satisfied with the formation even if they add the cavalry of Zhuang Qiji's royal pawns.

Such a military formation is a formation that the leading Qin general has never seen before, but it is not that he has not seen it, which means that it is terrifying. All the soft sides of the horizontal formation are the wings and vests, and in order to protect these weak points, the troops should be as many as possible and the line should be as long as possible. At present, the Chu army listed four square military formations, and did not care about their sides and vests at all.

"The general has an order, and our army should quickly attack his left and right to capture and kill King Jing." The Qin army had been advancing, and when it had advanced to one hundred and fifty paces, the commander conveyed the latest military order to the commanders on the left and right, which was to flank the two flanks of the Chu army.

Dressed in huge armor and waiting for the battle, the Chu army saw the Qin people getting closer and closer, and they couldn't help but feel a little anxious in their hearts. Fortunately, the drums behind him protruded, and the Chu army also began to advance. Unlike six years ago, the Chu army was regulated on walking and running. That is, when it is normal, it is 38 steps per minute, when it is fast, it becomes 50 steps per minute, and when it is running, it becomes 100 steps per minute.

Advancing at this moment, the Chu army accompanied the Duo Ling in front of him was slow at first, and the pace gradually increased later, but he did not run. When the archers behind him released their arrows and the bell rang sharply, the four military formations rushed up. Without fancy moves or any tactical skills, the Chu army now has to quickly defeat the enemy in front of them and sweep away the west bank of the Bashui in order to make the Qin army on the east bank of the Bashui fearful.

Once the archers of the Chu army released their arrows, the Qin soldiers on the opposite side also rushed to run, and they had to run through the range of the bows and arrows. And when they ran fifty steps, they stopped a little and fired arrows at the Chu army. The crossbow arrows shot straight at the Chu army in the front phalanx, making a clanging sound, and once the Chu arrows thrown down from the air hit, the Qin army would let out a muffled snort. Some fell, others staggered forward in the queue. But in the shouting and shouting of the two sergeants, no one could hear their voices.

"Kill Qin!" Cheng Tong, who led the Xi Division, shouted a sentence, and nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Xi and Tang divisions in front of him shouted. Their spears had long been held high, and the tips of their spears with red light in the setting sun were eager for blood. Seeing the Qin soldiers rushing towards him, the spearmen in the front row rushed to meet him.

The Qin army rushed not the old and weak in Guanzhong, but the elite soldiers who rushed to help Guanzhong, and they were not wearing ordinary leather armor or stone armor that they had seen before, but the latest iron armor. There was no 'boom' sound when the two armies collided before, and no screams could be heard, only the constant sound of spears breaking in my ears.

The spears and spears of the Chu and Qin armies were all made of bamboo and wood, with oak wood in the middle and several bamboo pieces attached to the outside, and then thinly wound and tied tightly with silk threads, and finally painted on the outside. This kind of wood is very hard, and can even pierce through the earthen wall, but in a head-on battle, the iron armor on the Qin army's body is extremely strong, and the spears that rush forward do not pierce the thickened armor on their bodies, and the spears are broken one after another. Relying on the second, third, and even fourth rows of Yi spears, the Chu army stopped the forward momentum of the Qin army.

In the same way, the spear of the Qin army was broken like a coffin. The Qin pawn, who did not have a spear, pulled out the hundred-for-one iron sword at his waist and fought with the Chu army holding a short sword with a huge blade. The exhaustion of the Guowei Mansion and the Shaofu in the past few years has not been fruitless, at least this time, the armor of the Qin army in the front row is not inferior to the Chu army too much. Relying on these armor, the tall sharps in the front row actually knocked the Chu army back. It is a pity that less than half of the well-prepared soldiers were in the army, and the other half were in Li Xin's army.

In the confrontation between the front and the front, only the officers and non-commissioned officers on the front line knew the inside story. What Xiong Jing saw was about 40,000 Qin troops rushing towards his side, and the army was slow, left and right were fast, and it was clear that they were going to attack around or behind. It's just that even if the 40,000 Qin army is 100 lines thick, its array width is 500 meters. It would take about a minute for the outermost Qin pawn on the left and right to run to the middle.

This is a straight line, and the real outflanking cannot be a straight line, but a curve that slowly bends inward from the outside. This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the Qin army is wearing iron armor, and they can't run fast at all. Xiong Jing didn't care about how fast or slow the Qin army was, what he cared about was the coordination between the various departments of the Qin army.

Before the two armies exchanged, the performance of the Qin army made people unable to find a flaw, but at the moment of the exchange, the Qin army, which was eager to attack the flank of the Xi division, did not guard the whole army line that they should be guarded, but broke away from the line and ran to the Xi division on the right side of Xiongjing.

In fact, this is not a flaw, the Yingshi Dongcheng Division is concave, diagonally facing the back of the Xishi, only thirty steps apart. The left flank of the Qin army was outflanking the flank of the Dongcheng Division in a curve, and the nearest distance was only more than twenty steps. They just tightened up in advance, intending to attack the rear of the Xi division, and if the Chu army wanted to seize this flaw, they had to change their formation before the Qin army rushed and attack forty-five degrees to the right.

More than twenty steps, even if you wear iron armor, it is only a matter of more than twenty seconds. More than 20 seconds to issue a military order is not enough, so how can you talk about changing the formation? But what is unexpected is that the Chu army does not need to convey military orders at all, nor does it need to change formations. Because the two divisions of the Yingshi division were not listed in a vertical column like the Xi division and the Tang division, it was originally a horizontal column. Xiong Jing's Wang Qiwang pointed to the northeast, and the soldiers of the Dongcheng Division tore off their camouflaged appearances, and with a 'click', all the divisions turned to the right, rushing towards the gap that was only more than ten steps wide.

There is a thing on the battlefield called helplessness. At present, the left army of the Qin army, which is rushing towards the Dongcheng Division, is experiencing this helplessness. Jing people rushed towards him, but instead of the array, the array was wrong. Only the sixty columns wide of the Jing army formation on the outside are engaged with the Qin army, and the remaining twenty columns of the Chu army will pass through the gap between the right side of the Qin people's left army and the central army.

Can you quickly fill the gap that is just over twenty columns wide in the seconds before the engagement? Of course not, unless the entire left army instantly shifts twenty ranks to the right, otherwise forcibly filling this gap will cause the army formation to be thin, if not to break it.

"Kill!" The cracking sound of spears behind him continued, and the 1st Brigade of the Dongcheng Division passed through the gap of the Qin army without hindrance and appeared behind the Qin army. The Qin general, who commanded the battle, watched this scene dumbfounded, and when he was ordering the rear army to step forward to remedy, the brigade that rushed through the gap did not turn right, nor did it rush to the banner surrounded by short soldiers, and they began to charge their spears against the Qin army of the division.

It is a great irony that the army that is flanked by the enemy is flanked. The spear was like a master in the battle of the mountains and mountains, and it was fiercely pierced on the side of the Qin pawn. The army formation of the division was not thick, only sixty lines. The first wave of impact killed the Qin soldiers back more than ten steps, and waited for the second, third, and fourth waves of Yi spears to rush in, and the Qin army that attacked the flank of the division was completely defeated. These defeated soldiers squeezed the Qin army attacking the front of the Xi Division, and the people were crowded together, causing the array in the northeast corner of the Xi Division to fall into chaos.

The chaos was not completely fatal, and for the Qin army, what was really fatal was the distance between it and the Chu army. Without a sufficient distance to sprint, the spears of the Chu army could not rush up, so they could only resist each other, and the spears of both sides pushed the spears. At present, the Qin army on the front has widened the distance between it and the Chu army because of the impact of the defeated soldiers, and the impact of the spearmen of the Chu army has followed.

"Revenge will be avenged, hatred will be blood! Revenge will be avenged, hatred will be bloody! Revenge will be avenged, hatred will be blood......" The shout sounded in the Xi division, followed by the roar of the whole army, which was the anger of the Chu people. This anger was holding the wind and thunder hostage, stabbing at the Qin people who were a few steps away.
