The trebuchet needs to be dragged back, and the Chinese army that slowly retreats to forty-five steps needs reinforcements, and the command talisman in Xiang Yan's hand began to issue the military curtain one by one, and the commander was ordered to move with the order, and for a while, the military flag in the rear of the Chu army was frequently moved, and the dust was everywhere, making people confused about the movement. In the decisive battle of 500,000 people, the battle line stretched for several kilometers, and the two armies were staggered with each other, and it was really difficult to distinguish the situation of the enemy and us in the chaos.

It is okay to have a nest car five or six zhang high, but the general of the Qin army without a nest car can only guess the situation of the two armies. Li Xin, the general of the rear army, watched his soldiers advance slowly, and the military flags behind the Chu army were frequently moved, and he didn't know the enemy's intentions at all. He only felt that the Chu army had retreated too much, and that the rear army was so withdrawn that it was not in line with the usual, and when he was worried that they were deliberately retreating, the military officials sent by Mengwu told each other, 'Jing people retreat, the rear army is forward, and I hope that the general will quickly break through the formation and capture King Jing'.

Meng Wu's order made Li Xin let go of the last trace of hesitation, and the fluttering flag dozens of steps away attracted him again. 'Kill King Jing and worship the Marquis to seal ten thousand households', no one can resist such a temptation. He looked at the flag halfway through, took a sharp breath and shouted, "Beat the drums!" Capture the King of Jing! ”

"Drums! Capture the King of Jing! The drum on the auxiliary car was vigorously beaten by the drummer, and the Qin army soldiers who were slowly advancing heard the sound of the drums, and no longer had any previous doubts, and began to stride forward. The situation on the sanitation side is even worse, their four hundred columns are the main targets of the Qin army's attack, after the previous desperate killing, anger and recoil, now it is exhausted, and the Qin army rushes, the front will not be able to hold.

Fortunately, the banner was behind him, and the wounded and dying guards did not fall backwards but rushed forward, either holding the enemy or grabbing the enemy's long soldiers, so that their comrades behind them could take the opportunity to assassinate them. Fight with your life and never let the Qin army break through the formation, this is the last insistence of sanitation. They were born to die for the king, and at this moment they both protect the king and kill foreign enemies, and they have no regrets in this life.

"Ambush or success!" It is inconvenient to look at the front of the car, but it is very convenient to look at the back. Lian Po let out a long breath and said.

"Laid down?" Xiong Jing also breathed a sigh of relief. He had always been worried that his own array would collapse when he retreated, and he was also worried that the Qin army would see through the plan and not follow the Chinese army forward, but now that it was okay, the Qin army had finally entered the urn. "Teacher, can our army completely annihilate the Qin army?"

Lian Po was watching the situation of the two armies, and although he couldn't see it all, he could still see the situation for miles in the vicinity. The retreat of the Chu army was not just a retreat of sanitation, the entire Chinese army was retreating. The Qin army followed closely, and the front of the Chu army's military flag was full of dense Qin army flags. Fierce fighting was still taking place in many places on the battle line, the Chu army resisted to the death, and the Qin army had a hard time every step forward.

"Teacher, can our army completely annihilate the Qin army?" Seeing that Lian Po didn't answer, Xiong Jing had no choice but to ask again.

"What does the king think?" Turning his gaze back to the car, Lian Po asked rhetorically as usual, but his hand was a little muddy, and he drew a formation diagram on several cases. The concave formation of the Chu army was displayed in front of Xiong Jing's eyes, and if the pocket was a rectangle, then its depth of fifty paces was almost negligible relative to its length. At first glance, this is not a pocket at all, but a slightly low-lying shoal, how can such a shallow pocket array completely annihilate the Qin army?

Seeing the doubt in Xiong Jing's eyes, Lian Po smiled and said: "King, what the general wants is definitely not for the Chinese army to take fifty steps back. ”

"Not fifty paces?" Xiong Jing was immediately stunned, he remembered that the few battles were all fifty steps. "I remember clearly, what the general said was that the Chinese army retreated fifty steps."

"No, no, no. The fifty steps spoken of in the battle are the steps that can be told to the generals, not the number of steps that the generals have in mind. Lian Po explained. He already knew what Xiang Yan was thinking in his heart, but for the sake of the decisive battle, he couldn't say some things.

"How many steps does the Admiral want to take back?" Xiong Jing asked, thinking of trebuchets again. "The trebuchet is eighty paces away from the front-line array, could it be that the general wants to retreat to seventy paces?"

"If the general wants to retreat, the deeper the number of steps, the better." Lian Po's fingers continued to dip into the mud, and continued to draw lines below the original rectangular array. "The Chinese army is twenty lines, and after the battle, there are either more than ten lines left, or three or five lines left. If it stops at fifty paces, the thickness of our army's array is uneven, but if it continues to retreat, in order to prevent the Qin army from breaking the formation, the thick pawn will be adjusted to the thin place, so that ...... "an arc appears from under Lian Po's finger," it will become a goose-shaped formation, and the lowest point may be up to 100 steps. ”

"Hundred steps?! Trebuchet ......" Xiong Jing gasped, before the battle, Xiang Yan gave him a retreat position that was the shogunate one hundred and twenty steps later.

"The trebuchet is just a tool, and what the Admiral wants is victory. If this battle is won, the trebuchet will still be owned by our army, and the trebuchet will not be lost. Lian Po said. The responsibility of You Que is only to make up for it, not to make up another horizontal formation of 3,000 columns. ”

Lian Po said in the car, and the Chu army outside the car desperately refused. However, no matter how desperately they tried, the Qin army still stepped forward. As the footsteps retreated, the array became thinner and thinner, and in some places it was even so thin that the Qin soldiers could see the trebuchets and dry grass in the rear at a glance. The Qin army, which was in control, was not in a hurry, they were advancing forward with the sound of drums at the moment, and they had to cut off the heads of the Chu army's apprentices during the march, and some soldiers even had a scramble, but fortunately, there would be the corpses of the Chu army every few steps forward, and it was better to move forward than to fight.

"Mr. Death, where is our army going to retreat?" The array of the division of Yingdu, under the fierce light of the Qin army's armor, the apprentices couldn't help but ask. In the past, everyone used to drink freely in the Yingdu wine shop, but now, everyone is fighting with the Qin people in the battle with the halberd.

"Yes, Mr. Death, has our army been defeated?" One person asked, and the others asked. Mr. Death is Mr. Lone, he is the longest, with 50 apprentices under his command, and he is the subordinate of the chief and the superior of the two chiefs. At this time, half of the fifty people were killed and wounded, and there were more than twenty people left to guard the gap of eight steps, and there were only two or three people at one step. The army is constantly retreating, and everyone has a bad premonition.

"The king's banner is still there, why is it defeated?" Mr. Lone replied as he swung his spear. "The state of Chu is dead, but the death is definitely not today! But if you do not fight your way to the enemy, you will die today. ”

"Haha......" Everyone laughed loudly and sighed, "It's a pity that there is no wine here!" ”

yes, it's a pity that there is no alcohol. All that everyone has in front of them is the fierce Qin army, and there are corpses all over the ground. In the past, in the Yingdu wine shop, they fought for a little thing, and they sang because of the inexplicable excitement of holding the bowl, and such a free and heroic day may never be there again. In a trance, someone suddenly remembered Dr. Sanlu's Chu Ge: "You can't go in and out, and you can't go back, and the plain is ......far away."

The eldest husband is not afraid of life and death, but he can't help but sing generously and sadly. As soon as someone howls out the phrase 'you can't get in and out, you can't go back', the rest of the people will sing in harmony. Although "National Mourning" is elegant, it is about a strong man who died for the country. For a while, the Chu soldiers sang a sad song, which surprised Xiong Jinglian in the car, and Xiang Yan and Peng Zong in the military curtain.

"General, when it's time, please beat the drums!" Peng Zong immediately confronted Xiang Yan and advised him that he could not retreat.

"General, when it's time!" Xiang Zhi, who supported Xiang Yan the most, also said that the Chinese army was exhausted, and if it retreated, it might collapse.

"General......" Qu Guang, the general of the king's pawn, was about to tell him, but was stopped by Xiang Yan.

"How many steps?" Xiang Yan still cares about the number of steps. The number of steps determines the difficulty of the Qin army escaping from the pockets of the Chu army.

"General, seventy-five steps, the king chariot has been under the trebuchet." The military officer replied that every time the Chu army took a step back, someone reciprocated.

"General......" The cadres all looked at Xiang Yan, and the singing voices in the military array became more and more passionate and high-pitched.

"That's fine." Xiang Yan had to compromise, and the song of "National Martyrdom" began, indicating that the soldiers were about to be unable to bear it. "The order was sent to Yiyangjun, and he was ordered to rescue the 1,000 columns of Chinese troops around the banner, and there must be no mistake; General Qu ......"

"The last general!" Refractive immediately shouted, he had waited too long for this moment.

"There are more than 1,000 columns left, five people in each column, and you will rescue them." Xiang Yan pointed his finger on the formation chart. Even now, he still has to keep a Yuque in his hand, which is ready for emergencies.

"The last general will listen to the order, and he will not miss the general's order." Refractive took the order and walked out quickly. The king will be divided into two branches, one to fill the vacancy between the right army and the division of the feudal monarch, and one to fill the vacancy between the left army and the division of the feudal monarch. In this way, the king will send more than 8,000 people, plus 14,000 people from the army of the feudal king, and nearly 23,000 people will go forward to reinforce it.

You Que finally moved, and the general army in the rear of the Chinese army who was looking forward to it was greatly demoralized, but what was even more exciting was the drumbeat of the whole army. The rumbling drum resounded in the ears, making the soldiers excited and the Qin people changing their colors. Li Xin immediately climbed the line and looked, but saw the mighty military flag in the rear of the Chu army, and he didn't know how many people the rear army of the Chu army sent to the front.

"General, look!" Li Xin waited and looked forward, but the place on the right side of the car was on the right side, where the military flag was swaying, and the shouts shook the sky, I don't know whether the Qin army broke the Chu army, or the Chu army broke the Qin army.

"Not good!" Li Xin, who stepped on the carriage with leather shoes, didn't look at it, but almost fell off the car when he saw it. The left army of the Chu army had already attacked horizontally, and the shouting shook the sky because the Qin army was caught off guard, and several of them were killed; He looked to the left again, and the military flag there was also shaking, and obviously, the right army of the Chu army also began to attack. The left and right armies suddenly attacked, and the Qin army, which was deeply trapped in the middle army array of the Chu army, had been attacked on three sides......

"Not good! Not good!! Li Xin's words were incoherent and his face was pale, he had felt that the retreat of the Chu army was different from usual, but now he realized that this was Xiang Yan's calculation at all, and what he wanted was to annihilate the Qin army here.

"How can this be?" The right side of the car also saw that the Chu army on the left and right was attacking aggressively.

"Our army...... Our army is defeated! As soon as the frightened chariot said this, he felt a great pain in his chest, and an iron arrow shot by the crossbow shot it shot down the chariot.
