Both armies rushed to Shangyi, the Qin army traveling west along the Wuguan Road only rushed to help, and the Chu army went north along the Shundan River to run. In the rushing queue, the artillery was the most conspicuous. Under the pull of six dragon horses, the gun carriage also galloped on the uneven official road. Along the way, you can hear the clatter of the connection between the front car of the artillery and the artillery frame, and the artillery frame also rises from the road with a 'bang' from time to time, and then slams down.

The company commander Pan Xuan and the four artillery commanders were distressed when they saw it, the artillery carriage was not so much a bump on the official road, but a bump in their hearts. The gun carriage was made of iron and wood, and the weight of the barrel was close to 600 kilograms, so the bumps might have fallen apart before the cannon reached Shangyi. But they couldn't unload the barrel, and the 600-kilogram barrel couldn't be carried by any horse.

Except for Ruo Ao, who complained in his heart that the layman led the insider, he could only get down from the gun carriage (the artillery had horses, and if there were no horses, they could sit on the gun carriage), and only one royal hand was left on the car to reduce the weight of the gun carriage.

The artillerymen felt sorry for the cannons, and the ordinary soldiers felt sorry for their armor. According to Ruoao's military order, skirt armor, shin armor, arm armor, dry food, clothing, and even weapons must be discarded. The whole army had to go into battle lightly, so that it could rush to Shangyi around the middle of the day and seize the key points of Suhe Mountain. Although a set of armor is only five or six hundred yuan, the weapon is life, and some people are very reluctant.

Chu soldiers, Tai people, and Yue people who arrived in the middle of the night, more than 10,000 people ran under the scorching sun. Similar running was gradually introduced into the military training system of the Chu army from the previous year, with a ten-mile cross-country at the beginning, a twenty-mile cross-country later, and a fifty-mile cross-country at the longest. Now to travel a hundred miles, this is already the standard of Wei Guo's military soldiers. As a result, as soon as 50 miles passed, some people began to fall behind, and some of the weak soldiers even ran so much that they vomited blood.

"Huh! It's not as good as the Yue people. Ruo Ao, who was sweating all over, walked alone, and stood on the side of the road at this time to stimulate the backward soldiers. The Yue people are barbarians who are inferior to themselves in the hearts of the Chu people, and they are not as good as the Yue people, which is the greatest irony. The backward soldiers saw the Yue people and the Thai people running by, and the slow steps quickly increased their pace, and they swallowed it when they vomited blood.

"Report ——!" The cavalry rushed towards the place where the general's flag was flying, and before he got off his horse, he said: "Report to the general, the Qin people are coming." ”

"Qin people, where did the Qin people come from?" Ruo Ao was shocked when he walked alone, and after calming down, he asked, "How much is coming?" How many miles are left? ”

"There are about 5,000 people coming, and there are still ten miles to go." The scout's report relieved Ruo Ao. A few thousand people are reinforcements. Last night, there was a fire in Zhulinguan, and the defenders of Shangyi naturally rushed to help when they saw the dawn, and they happened to meet here at the right time.

"Order: The whole army stops, and all generals are summoned to discuss the troops." Ruo Ao looked up at the sun alone. It is already in the corner, and there is still an hour before noon, but there are still more than 40 miles away from Shangyi and more than 30 miles away from Suhe Mountain. It is estimated that it will take an hour to ambush these 5,000 Qin soldiers, and it will take a small move, a large migration, and a large migration, and it is estimated that the soldiers will have to move a lot before they can reach the Suhe Mountain.

Ruo Ao looked at the scorching sun alone, and Qi Brown, the lieutenant general who was riding in the car, only looked at the scorching sun. Different from ordinary Qin soldiers, the two armies of Wei Wei and Lieutenant used fish scale stone armor at the beginning, and the stone armor was heavy, with more than 20 kilograms without adding a head and a head and more than 30 kilograms with a head and a head of more than 30 kg. Not to mention the heavy stone armor, it was still very brittle, and later the fish scale stone armor was replaced by the fish scale iron armor, the iron armor was not brittle, but it was still heavy.

With the spears and swords, the weight of the soldiers was close to forty kilograms. Such a load could not walk fast at all in the scorching sun, and after walking forty miles, the soldier was panting like an ox, and he barely walked more than ten miles, and the soldier could not walk.

"General, our army is tired, please take a moment's rest." Du Wei's chariot came in the opposite direction and asked Qi Brown for instructions.

"General, since our army has traveled more than 50 miles, please take a break, otherwise we will not be able to fight in Shangyi." Another lieutenant also drove in.

"No way!" Qi Brown's face was cold. "The general ordered me to rush to the aid of Shangyi, how can I ......?"

"Report-" Qi Brown was about to refuse the captain, and a car was coming from a few miles away, and he couldn't help but look around with his heart, for fear that the Chu army would pull out Shangyi.

"General," there were two chariots, and several cavalrymen were escorted. A military official got out of the car and announced: "The commander knows that the general is coming with the army, and the villain is specially ordered to greet him." ”

"Hanging warts are also attached!" I thought it was some kind of news, but I didn't expect it to be to greet him, and Qi Brown was suddenly unhappy in his heart. "I ask you, what is Shangyi? What about the bamboo forest? ”

The guards and lieutenants are the king's pawns and the Praetorian Guard, and the Qin guards stationed in Shangyi are just ordinary county pawns. Not to mention Du Weiba, any generals and lieutenants are extremely polite to guards and lieutenants, these are the people around the king.

Qi Brown's unceremonious attitude embarrassed the military officials who greeted him, and he replied: "General, Shangyi is safe at this time. The fire at Zhulinguan was extinguished before dawn, and the commander sent another 5,000 soldiers to help. ”

As soon as they heard that Shang Yi was safe, the two lieutenants coughed a few times with disdain. The angry Qi Brown did not want the soldiers to march under the scorching sun, so he only said: "Order: The whole army will rest for a while, and make food and eat." ”

"Ruoao! Ruoao! Ruoao! Ruo Ao ......"

The wait before the ambush allowed most of the soldiers of the Chu army to rest, and when they saw the Qin army coming from the official road, they jumped out of the bamboo forest as soon as the drums sounded. No matter how strong the army is, as long as it is not deployed, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, the bamboo forest is fifty or sixty steps away from the official road, and the soldiers and soldiers of the army are not arrayed, they shout 'Ruoao', and rush forward in groups with spears.

The charge time of dozens of steps was very short, and the Qin army did not have time to transform into a battle formation, and the sudden impact immediately fell into chaos. The two armies of Chu and Qin fell into a fierce battle, and the Taiyue soldiers went around through the bamboo forest to the tail of the Qin army, and the bamboo forest trembled, and they also rushed out, quickly intercepting the retreat of the Qin army.

14,000 Chu Yue Tai soldiers ambushed 5,000 Qin troops, and the battle was nearing its end after only half an hour. It's just that after this fight, many Chu soldiers lay on the ground and didn't plan to get up again.

"Drumming! Drum fast! The drums sounded again, and some of the soldiers on the ground struggled to get up, while others continued to lie down.

"General, soldier, soldier...... Tired. The brigade commander who rushed over knew that Ruo Ao was urging alone, but everyone was tired.

"Tired?!" After three days of running, after the night battle, it was an ambush battle, and if Ao was tired enough to walk alone, he would not have enough strength to speak. "The Qin people of Shangyi both... Aid to the bamboo forest pass, has been equipped also. If you don't arrive quickly, the 200,000 army can't pull out Xianyang, who is the culprit? ”

If Ao Duxing knew that he had messed things up by taking Jingzi Pass without authorization, he would have to take Shangyi desperately to make up for the consequences of his previous reckless actions. He looked at the four brigade commanders under his command, and then looked at Song Ao and Zhu: "If our army can't get down to Shangyi quickly, the seven years of work of the Chuyue departments and the sweat and blood of hundreds of thousands of generals will be wiped out in one day." ”

"This is only forty miles away from Shangyi, and the Thai people are willing to be the pioneers!" The bamboo fight was also out of breath, and he caught up with the master before the Yue people, just to prove that the Thai people would never lose to the Yue people.

"It's not a business, it's a mountain and a mountain. Did you know? Naisu and the mountain. Ruo Ao emphasized alone. Our army must occupy this mountain in order to intercept the Wuguan Qin army from reinforcing Shangyi. ”

"No need to say more, my teacher has already done it." Song Ao glanced at Zhu, he led the division of Xiou, a full division, but there was no cavalry. By the time the drummers were beating, the Vietnamese soldiers had already packed up and moved forward again.

"Wu Gexi wearing rhino armor, the car is wrong and the short soldiers pick up ......"

Looking at the Chu pawn who fell to the ground and was so tired that he didn't want to get up, Ruo Ao, who was throwing the military flag, sang the national mourning in desperation. Hearing the familiar singing, the soldiers struggled to their feet in pain, and they sang along with the advancing soldiers.

“…… Ling Yu staggered for the rest of his life, and his left side was injured and his right blade was injured.

The haze is two rounds and four horses, and the jade is beating the drum. ”

Thousands of people are singing and advancing. Hearing the singing gradually going north, even the most tired soldiers did not want to lie on their backs anymore, they got up one by one and chased after the song.

"You can't get in and out, and you can't go back, and the plains are far away.

With a long sword and a Qin bow, the first body is separated from the heart without punishment......"

The queue of the division became more and more neat, and the soldiers who had stragged behind returned one by one, standing in their established positions, and the comrades on their sides immediately patted the grass clippings and dust from their bodies, as if to welcome his return.

Ruo Ao, who was walking alone with the flag, did not look back at each other at first, and only turned back after walking one or two miles. Seeing that the queue of his followers was still in full swing, he finally relieved his heart. It was only when he got out of Lishh that he ordered the whole army to run. The soldiers continued to sing, and they galloped to the mountains thirty miles away.

The part of the entanglement between friend and foe in the war is visible, and the part of the enemy outside the entanglement is never visible, which is the black box of war. Du Weiba, who was stationed in Shangyi, Qi Brown, the lieutenant general who led the army to aid Shangyi, and Ruo Ao, who insisted on quickly pulling out Shangyi, would never be able to see through the enemy's black box until the end of the war. They can only grope and act on their own feelings.

Du Weiba's scouts were the first to discover the rushing Chu army, but the remaining troops in his hands were very limited, and he sent an additional 1,000 people to the back of the mountain and the army of the lieutenant led by Qi Brown for help.

'Knock knock ......' The Chu army, which arrived five miles away from Suhe Mountain, could already hear the drums of the Qin people on the mountain, and the soldiers of the third division of Chu Yuetai ran more quickly. Zhu who planned to go around the Hou led the Tai people to rush out of the valley when they encountered the Qin army reinforced by Shangyi. The Qin army, which had been on guard for a long time, all wound their crossbows, and they fired arrows at fifty paces and shot down many Tai people. The Tai were good at hand-to-hand combat, and they were not afraid of the rain of arrows, and they rushed twenty paces away, first with a javelin, and then jumped into the Qin army's array, and wrenched with them.

The Chu army heard the drums on the mountain, and the lieutenant's army led by Qi Brown also heard the drums, and the two armies met at the foot of the mountain on the east side of the mountain, and in the shouts of the soldiers on both sides, the spears and the chieftain spears were roughly stabbed together.
