In the morning, after a night of fierce fighting, Jiangyi finally became quiet, walking through the broken city where the corpses were piled up and the soldiers coaxed to grab the head, the cavalry general Xin Sheng stepped on the broken city wall of one foot and eight feet, the city wall was built in the Spring and Autumn Period, not to mention the disrepair, and the height did not violate the etiquette system, only the three versions of the heavy granary in the city were on fire, which was caused by the fire of the Chu soldiers before the city was broken, Xin Sheng did not order the soldiers to put out the fire, he wanted the entire Jiangyi instead of the baggage granary.

"Immediately reply to the general: our army has taken Jiangyi after a night of hard fighting, and more than 1,000 Jing people have been annihilated." Xin Sheng instructed Xun Cai, he knew that Meng Wu must be waiting for this news.

"Hey!" Xun Cai was ordered to salute him, and then hurried down the city, jumped on his horse, and hurried north.

"General, what should we do with these wounded prisoners?" Gan Xin, the cavalry general, also stepped on the overlapping corpses of the Chu army and went to the city, and he pointed to the wounded soldiers of the Jing people under the city. These people were all lightly wounded, between killing and not killing, before the war, Xin Sheng had a military order not to kill wounded soldiers, so Gan Xin had this question.

"Yes." Xin Sheng also saw those wounded soldiers, there were probably hundreds of them, and some of them were seriously injured. "Put it back."

"Put it back?!" Gan Xin and the left and right were taken aback, the Chu army defending the city before the city was broken had left the city and retreated to Xixian, although Bai Duwei made arrangements for the siege again when he evacuated Jiangyi, but the casualties in the siege last night were still very large. "General, our army has suffered more than 2,000 casualties and only more than 1,000 beheadings.

"I don't care if I don't care about profit or not." Xin Sheng's face was resolute, "When the city is broken, the direction of the Jing people's retreat is Xixian, not the Jing camp. These wounded soldiers were about to be put into the camp of Jingda, so as to confuse the morale of their troops. Did you know? ”

Of course, everyone understands the purpose of letting these wounded soldiers return to the Chu army camp, but what does it have to do with the heart of the Chu army? The military order given by the general was to take Jiangyi at all costs, and then defend it until the army moved south. Several people looked at each other, and they just didn't agree with Xin Sheng's order, and of course no one dared to speak out against it.

"Hmph." Xin Sheng's eyes swept over one by one, and these people bowed their heads one after another. "Pass my general order and let the wounded soldiers return to the camp."

"General Xin has an order, let the wounded soldiers return to the camp!" The herald shouted loudly, and the five hundred lords guarding the wounded soldiers under the city kicked the Chu pawn, and then shouted loudly: "General Xin has an order, and he orders you to return to the camp after waiting." Let's go, get out of here! ”

"You can only return to the camp, not to the county, violators, beheaded!" Xin Sheng on the city wall added another order, and asked a cavalry general with dozens of martial knights to drive this group of wounded soldiers north to return to the Chu army camp.

Yesterday afternoon, the Chu army, which had retreated 15 miles and camped in camp, was less than 30 miles away from Jiangyi, and these wounded soldiers could return to camp after walking for two or three hours. What Xin Sheng didn't know was that before dawn today, the Chu army that got up early began to pull out the camp and go south, and the Qin army was also advancing, and the Qin army did not re-enter the camp when it left the camp yesterday. Xiang Yan's initial judgment was correct: the Chu army was not in a hurry at all to go north to seek war against the Qin army, and once the Chu army began to move south, the Qin army would be in a hurry: how could this mouthful of meat fly away.

When the sun came out, the Qin and Chu armies were pulling out the camp, the difference was that the Chu army had packed up early, and the rear army had already begun to move south, while the Qin army was packing up the camp while making food, and some scouts and cavalry were wantonly approaching the retreating Chu army, it was impossible to stop them, they were just spying on the military situation. For example, what is the structure of the fire-throwing vessel, the geometry of the Chu army's grain truck, whether the grain is full, and so on. If there are more flies, the Chu soldiers will get used to it, as long as these people don't let go of arrows and don't cut and kill, they will be allowed to get close.

"The Qin army's scouts are so rampant!" Xiong Jing, who had risen early, was still patrolling, but no longer in front of the formation, but between the retreating battalions. Just now, a few Qin army scouts actually walked through the Chu army array dozens of steps away in front of him, which was really infuriating.

"King, most of the knights in our army are born in the Yuantong, and the horses are raised in the outer stables, which is really difficult to compete with the Qin people's martial knights." Lian Po sat in the car and followed behind Xiong Jing, he had seen a lot of cavalry, and the knights in the Zhao army were not less than those of the Qin people.

"Yu Tong?!" Of course, Xiong Jing knew what Yu Tong was. The state of Chu is a hierarchical society, the so-called heaven has ten days, and people have ten levels. These ten classes are: king, prince, doctor, scholar, soap, public opinion, subordinate, bureaucracy, and Taiwan.

Wang, Gong, Doctor, Scholar, needless to say, soap, refers to black, but there is also a meaning that refers to the fun (donkey) horse that raises horses, the identity is under the royal husband, the lowest of the scholars, generally refers to the small officials; Yu refers to the carriage carriage, only the carriage carriage can be called the carriage, and the ox carriage carriage is called the box. In the pre-Qin chariot war, the wartime pawn (Zhengfu) fought with the carriage, holding the wheel to coerce the public; The envy pawn (Yu Fu) followed the ox cart and was responsible for the transportation. The public opinion refers to the apprentices who fight with the chariot, in fact, they are the common people.

Li, the word is attached, attached to the meaning, refers to the subordinates, slaves and maids, many of whom are private debt slaves, the status is high or low, mainly depending on the identity of the master, although there is no personal freedom, but can be promoted to the knight; The wingman is a sinner, in fact, he is a sinner; In order to prevent escape, he was tortured by the palace, the sword, and the sword, and the source was mostly prisoners of war, and only strong prisoners of war were suitable for labor; 台, refers to a high platform. If the subordinate escapes, he will be imprisoned (wing); If the wingmen escape, they will be punished; If you run away again, you will be imprisoned in a high platform. Only the high platform is a bureaucracy, this is a blessing, so they have to go to the confinement to serve the cattle and horses;

Princes, ministers, doctors, doctors, ministers, soaps, soaps, ministers, ministers, ministers, servants, servants. What is 圉童? Yu Tong is the son of Tai and a miscellaneous servant of the stables. Yesterday, Xiong Jing mentioned that he wanted to train a cavalry, and one of the reasons for Lian Po's objection was where the knights came from. Of course, he knew that most of the people riding horses in the Chu Kingdom were Yu Tong, and the ...... with Yu Tong as a knight, even if Xiong Jing had the courage and skill to raise Yu Tong's social level to the common people or above, who would dare to use such a person who had nothing?

Those who have no permanent property but have perseverance are only able to do so, which is Mencius's pride. It means that only a man can maintain his own integrity if he does not have a family property, and it is impossible for ordinary people to have constant conduct and principles without family property. If the Chu State wants to train a cavalry, it must give up those children who can already ride horses and train them from scratch, and the cost can be imagined.

A country always has a country's endowment, and if you have to attack the strength of the other with your own shortcomings, the price must be tragic, but if an army does not have cavalry, the result will be disastrous. Xiong Jing felt that the stirrups under his feet were a little hot at this moment: history has proved that cavalry with stirrups can take away the Roman shield array in waves, and the Roman legions are strong in hand-to-hand combat, but how can sword and shield soldiers and cavalry fight in close combat? Their daggers were no match for the knights; If you add cannons, the spear phalanx will also die very miserably, and the spear cavalry that forms a formation to protect itself will naturally not be able to rush in, but the cannon can be punched in, and once the phalanx is dispersed, the outcome can be imagined.

Thinking of this, Xiong Jing couldn't help but turn his head to look at the trebuchet that was being dragged by hundreds of cows and thousands of lifu, isn't this exactly. He couldn't help but scold: "Heaven is eight feet!" I'm digging a hole for myself! ”

Xiong Jing, who understood this, began to have a depressed face, and there was no longer a trace of a smile. Lian Po had nothing to say about this, but Youshi was anxious: "The king is in this situation, and those who see it are very worried." I beg the king not to do this, lest the morale of our army be ruined. ”

"You mean, I have to laugh?" Xiong Jing pointed at his face and almost bit off his little finger.

"It is said that the Qin people have seized Jiangyi, and the king Yan will be happy. When the soldiers saw that the king was happy and calm, they should know that this battle would be won. Right Shi admonished, trying to exercise the duty of a courtier.

"I, I ......" right history said that it is indeed reasonable, and Xiong Jing is speechless to refute it. From then on, he kept smiling until the inspection was completed, and Xiang Yan invited him to the military tent to discuss the battle.

The battle ended a few days ago, and the left, center, and right armies and You Que had clearly explained what they were going to do, and the only thing that had not yet been explained to the divisional army commanders, brigade commanders, and pawn commanders was that the Chinese army would retreat 50 steps after the battle. The Chinese army retreated, and the Qin army followed, and at that time, the left and right armies had to attack the enemy on their flanks in addition to resisting the enemy in front, so that the Qin army trapped in was attacked on three sides.

The commander and the pawn may not have to know the tactics of the whole army, but the officers at the three levels of division commanders, brigade commanders, and pawn commanders must know it. Once chaos is caused by the retreat of the Chinese army, they can stabilize the military formation by last resort and keep the array intact.

Of course, this is also the tradition of the Chu army, in order not to be blamed and scolded by the county commanders and common people, the generals of each division have the right to know the tactics of the main general before the formation, if they want to go over: why should my division have more dead people, while other divisions can sit back and enjoy the success?

Now Xiang Yan invited Xiong Jing to go, just for two things: one is additional benefits. After the Chinese army retreated fifty paces, the left and right armies were bound to suffer heavy losses if they advanced the way. Although the width of the Qin army's military formation yesterday was only twelve miles, the retreat of the Chinese army was equivalent to putting the left and right armies in the front and inner flanks of the Qin army, so the left and right divisions should have the advantage to make up for the losses.

The second is the location of Xiongjing. Xiong Jing said that he wanted to stand in front of the battle, but Xiang Yan and the strategists believed that Xiong Jing's best position was after the Chinese army advanced sixty paces. This position is actually also in front of the formation, but it is in front of the formation after the Chinese army retreats.

"Tell the king, as the last general has seen, the decisive battle will be tomorrow." As soon as Xiang Yan saw Xiong Jing is words, everyone in the shogunate looked grim.

"That's very good." Xiong Jing knelt down in the middle. He saw that in addition to Xiang Yan and Peng Zong, there were still Pan Wuming, the general of the Left Army, Guan You, the general of the Chinese Army, and Yang Lu, the general of the Right Army, as well as Shen Yinxi, the commander of the dormitory, Chen Bu, the general of Chen Shi, Lu Ji, the general of Wu Cheng, and Ou Qin, the general of Huiji. "The general is straight to the point, what is the matter?"
