Towards July, all the armies had assembled in Nanzheng, ready to be engaged in the final battle. Xiong Jing invited all the generals to lead a feast, and there was no reason not to come. Although it rained in the summer afternoon, the weather was still hot, so the banquet was not set up in Nanzheng City, but on the north bank of the Han River outside Nanzheng City. The river breeze is falling at night, the water shore is lit under the stars, and in the sound of music and dance, it is difficult not to get drunk on such a night.

Before leaving, Jia Ying told Ying not to enter the county guard's mansion, but he didn't expect Xiong Jingnan Zhengcheng to let him in, the banquet was placed on the waterside in the south of the city, and there were so many people at the same time, how could the king of Chu kill himself? Some of the hanging hearts of the people were put down.

"It's okay tonight." looked at his cronies Kan and said with a smile. "Maybe the king of Chu really wants to marry the princess......"

"Xia people are deceitful, and Dahao can't believe it." Kan was a sincere man, and since the wise man said that this trip was dangerous, he believed that it was dangerous.

"Of course I don't believe it." When he heard this, his face turned grim and he patted the sword on his waist. "The beardless King of Chu hasn't given birth to the courage to kill me yet."

For a long time, a beard was an important sign of a man. Beardless men are seen as gutsless, or simply as eunuchs or children. That year, the king of Chu fled to the Qiang land for refuge under the pursuit of the Qin army, and he dared to challenge Dahao without a beard, and became the laughing stock of all Qiang warriors for a while. Matsu's words provoked the laughter of the warriors around him, and this laughter made him so pleasant that he still had a smile on his face on the way to the feast.

"General Zhuang's news has not arrived, if the news is false...... "It was already dark, and Dou Yu, Chengtong and Naoxin hurriedly met Xiong Jing. Before the last rays of afterglow fell, Nan Zheng did not receive any news - he had sent the guards knights to Qiang Land half a month ago. Dou Yu Pheasant was worried that Xiong Jing would anger the Qiang people by killing Dahao Ying.

"How can the news be false?" Aristotle IV's chamberlain Gregor Vala was a spy of Zhibisi, whose homeland was on the distant island of Cyprus in the eastern Mediterranean. Chibisi had promised him that he would send him back to his hometown by sea boat after the war was over, and assist him in taking revenge. Aristotle IV was the prince of Bai Di and the eldest prince of Qin, and his news could not be false.

"What if it's false? If this is still the Qin people's counter-plan, what can I do? "Dou Yu Pheasant doesn't know the origin of the information. The prelude to the battle is the repulsion of the cavalry, and the prelude to the repulsion of the cavalry battle is the Hou spy war, which is the most tragic battlefield, and both sides try their best to deceive and counter-deceive, and do everything they can.

"The news can't be fake." Naoxin vaguely knew the source of the news and told him.

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know if it's true." There is no news about Zhuang Qujian who went to Qiangdi, and Xiong Jing is no longer equal.

"The king must not be reckless." Dou Yu Pheasant saw the killing intent in Xiong Jing's eyes, and he was even more worried.

"Reckless?" Xiong Jing looked at him with a sword in one hand, his cheeks bulging. "It's already July, but the Qiang people are negotiating peace with the Qin people, if we don't settle the Qiang land early, how can our army fight in September?"

Time is already running out. Although the direction of Wuguan Dao can mobilize the Qin army, it cannot support Chencang Dao. There is more and more evidence that the 200,000 or 300,000 Qin soldiers who lost their left toes were not only recruited, but also practiced battle formations somewhere in Guanzhong. Without the assistance of the Qiang people, the 150,000 or 60,000 Chu troops would face the 400,000 or 500,000 Qin troops, and the Qin army still occupied a favorable geographical position, and the battle of Sanguan might not be as easy as Li He said.

Xiong Jing said that Dou Yu Pheasant was speechless, he came to persuade Xiong Jing to be cautious precisely because the Qiang people were extremely important, and Xiong Jing also took risks because the Qiang people were important, and the two sides were concerned about the same, but the methods of dealing with it were different.

"What does the king want?" Chengtong, who was standing on one side, felt the similarities and differences between the two and asked urgently.

"The Great Priest knows." Xiong Jing calmed down, and during the half month of waiting, he also became very anxious.

When it was dusk, the banquet on the north bank of the Han River was already full of lieutenant generals. The banquet table is placed in front of the chairman, and the guests are seated on both sides below the chairman according to the identity of the banquet attendees, and a rectangular space will be vacated in the middle for the musicians to sing and dance. But this time, the careful rate found a difference: the rectangular field under the chairman became a circle, and the chairman and the guest seats were arranged around this circular field, the difference was that there were no secondary seats behind the chairman.

The military salute does not enter the country, but there is no such seat in the military salute, which makes the generals of Chu and Zhao a little suspicious for a while, they sit in the west hand of the chairman, and the Ba people, Yue people, and Qiang people sit in the east hand of the chairman. Although it is suspicious, but the seat is a trivial matter, before the war, the king can personally persuade to drink, and then kill the Qin people, attack the Guanzhong, and turn the Qin State upside down, this is a major event in life.

Before Xiong Jing was seated, the bank of the Han River became lively, and the talk between the soldiers was naturally military. The experience of the battle of Fen and Zhao made the generals of Chu and Zhao realize some new experiences: what is more certain is that before the engagement, it used to be a big run, and the two sides collided and fought together. This is wrong, the spear formation does not need to be in a daben to meet the enemy, even in a daben it is a rushing spear type, three rows and three rows of forward rushes, so that it will not be entangled with the Qin people, resulting in no distance to rush the formation.

This experience is more agreeable, but a conclusion derived from this experience is very different.

Three platoons and three platoons rushed forward, and if the depth of the military formation was fifteen platoons, it could only be attacked five times. What should I do if I can't break the formation after five spear charges? According to the discipline, after charging the spear, the soldiers should go back to the rear of the army formation to prepare for the next round of charge, but there is no gap in the battle line for the soldiers who have finished the spear to go back to the rear of the army formation (the battle line is complete), and they will also become an obstacle for the comrades behind them to charge the spear.

And if you don't rush into battle, you can first rush to meet the enemy as before, and then retreat into a spear formation to rush into formation, which is easy to get entangled by the enemy. In this regard, the Yingshi paid the price of blood, they were entangled by the old soldiers of the Qin army who did not want to die, and they could not retreat at all to list the charging spear formation, especially the old soldiers of the Qin army were injured but did not kill, and took advantage of the characteristics of the Yingshi not abandoning the wounded to bite the Yingshi to death.

Considering the disadvantages of the above two situations, some generals put forward the idea of whether they could be listed in a spear formation before the troops were engaged. In this way, there is no problem of the spear route being blocked by comrades, there is no problem that the soldiers who have rushed the spear cannot go back to the rear of the military formation, and there is no problem of being entangled by the old soldiers of the Qin army who do not want to die by taking advantage of their own characteristics of not abandoning the wounded.

This was almost a perfect idea, but opponents of it pointed out a fatal flaw: their own forces were not superior in the first place, and the width of the battle line would inevitably be drastically shortened, and there would be a large gap between the spear phalanxes. Lao Cheng's general thought that this was a complete abandonment of his flank, and the Qin army could easily hook his own flank, which was equivalent to killing himself with a sword.

The starting point is that everyone agrees; The 'simply rushing spear array' deduced from this has different opinions.

It was a hot summer, and the arguing Chu Zhao was like a cockfight, arguing loudly while drinking the iced slurry. The Yue people are okay, they know what the two sides are arguing about, and the Yue people who understand Chu Yayan will also come to watch and listen, and the Ba people and the Qiang people who have just entered are very puzzled, are the Chu people going to compete in martial arts? The Chu people are often in martial arts.

Accompanied by the guest's shout of 'The Great King', Chu Zhao, who was red-faced and red-eared, led the birds and beasts to disperse, and their thick red necks made the same sound: "The ministers have seen the king." ”

"No courtesy." Chu Zhao sat in the west seat as his own people, and the chiefs of the Yue, Ba, and Qiang tribes sat in the east seat, which was the guest. Xiong Jing sits in the north and faces south, facing the turquoise and cool Han water.

"I've seen the King of Chu." After the Chu Zhao general led the salute, the Yue people, the Ba people, and the Qiang people saluted Xiong Jing respectively. When it was the turn of Dahao Ying, he stood up and bowed shallowly, and said in an immature elegant language: "Please ask the king of Chu to atone for his sins, but he is late because of the Qin people's obstruction." ”

"It doesn't matter." Xiong Jing on the chairman smiled, and his voice was very loud in order to let the hundreds of people at the banquet hear. "However, is Dahao being blocked by the Qin people, or is he allied with the Qin people?"

"Alliance?!" General Chu Zhao, who was sitting on the west seat, was shocked, and Zhao, who had always been calm and calm, and his eldest son was silent when he died for the sake of hostage, knocked over the wine lord. The Qiang people negotiated peace with the Qin people, not only did they not send troops to attack Qin, but more importantly, they would betray the right army.

In addition to the general Chu Zhao, after hearing the story, the chiefs of the Yue people and the Ba people also panicked, traitors must not be tolerated, and some chiefs even drew their swords in angry eyes. In the end, the Qiang chieftain who came with Ying also looked at his big man in disbelief, some people instantly thought of which old friend who was so generous that it was surprising, and some people looked at their big man for a while, and looked at the king of Chu on the chairman for a while, hoping that the two could explain in more words, preferably a misunderstanding.

Xiong Jing was silent, but his eyes were like a substantial glare at Da Haoying; He was already petrified, and he was covered in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water. Jia Ying stayed in Qiang to prepare for a surprise attack by the Qin army, but Jia Ying was not there, and he was martial but not good at arguing, and he didn't know how to defend at all.

"The king of Chu insulted me!" He subconsciously shouted, and the man stood up, his hands spread angrily.

"You want to help Su in Qiangdi, yes or no?!" Xiong Jing also stood up and never showed weakness.

"The king of Chu insulted me!!" The face of the man was even more hideous, and his hand was on the sword.

"You complain that the widow doesn't marry the princess, yes or no?!" Xiong Jing asked again, in a word.

"You insult me! You insult me!! "Angry and angry, he forgot everything. He only knew that his people were on his side, and he was trembling in a great state of shame, and the cause of this shame was the young man who had just grown a beard more than ten paces away, and if he was killed, it would be all over.

'Whoa,' he drew his sword and jumped out of his seat and rushed into the circular void that had been set up for him.

"Rude! Licentious!! Barbarian, you dare to ......" The guards on both sides of the chairman and the generals of the Chu and Zhao armies shouted at the same time, and a rush of drawing swords sounded.

"Stop!" Xiong Jing drank violently, he not only drank the armor and generals, but also drank the big hao who rushed to the front.

Thinking that his timid man laughed when he saw this, in the Qiang land, it is a recognized truth that the cowardly are good at panicking. However, before he could stop laughing, Xiong Jing kicked over a few cases and drew his sword. "Which is true and which is false, the gods decide. The widow competes with you! ”
