Chapter Ninety-Five: Awakening from a Dream

The Mo family is good at defending, but it is just defending the city, and it is not good to form a field battle, and it is even more inexperienced to deal with cavalry. Instead of trampling the end of the wooden tree to death, the men held the long soldiers in their hands to resist the charging cavalry.

The charge of more than twenty horsemen under the moon was not spectacular, but the tall black shadow galloped and made anyone fearful. Just when these armorers opened their eyes wide and wanted to stab the horsemen, the 'whooshing' arrows flew suddenly, and they couldn't see in the night.

"Stop!" The lone traveler finally ordered. After that, he sat on the chariot, and the rhino armor on his body was taken off, revealing his upper body heavily wrapped in satin. The Wei people's arrows were made with barbs, and the arrows were shot on the heavy satin, and after the armor was broken, the flesh was not deep, and they could grit their teeth and pull them out.

"Ahh

"Dare to ask the general, what is our army?" Although the Tang division routed the Wei army, more enemies were soon killed. The 5,000 Chu army was only two divisions and one soldier, and the two division commanders were still very dissatisfied with the lone traveler before, but after the battle, the two of them, including the brigade commander and the commander, were all convinced.

"Retreat to the edge of the chasm, defend it with arrows, and make it ... Tell the general quickly, if he doesn't believe ......, he will ......," said the lone wanderer, the wound still bleeding, and he felt pain with every word he said and every breath he breathed.

"Report to the general, report to the general!" Someone outside the human wall shouted, "The general is here, the general!" ”

When the lone traveler rushed into the Wei military camp, Xiang Yan's big wing was already more than ten miles away. Seeing this group of county soldiers rushing into the enemy camp without a head, Peng Zong had to sigh and said, "It's a pity! ”

Xiang Yan didn't make a sound, still holding Lu Lu off the mirror to watch the battle situation carefully. The barracks were surrounded by the banners of the Wei army, and he could only vaguely see General Wei giving orders on the chariot. But after a while, seeing that Wei was fleeing again, and Wei would be killed by a lone traveler, he couldn't help but smile and nodded, and said, "It's worthy of Ruo Ao's family." ”

Peng Zong also found out that the Wei army had collapsed again at this time, and he couldn't help laughing and said loudly: "Fierce as a tiger!" ”

"It's not as fierce as a spot, but it's as cunning as a wolf." At this time, the lone traveler was shouting Mingjin, and then the cavalry of the Qin army rushed into battle. It's a pity that the Qin people never expected that this Chu army would have a bow, and they couldn't shoot a foot bow when they rode a bow, let alone a crossbow, and thousands of martial knights left more than 100 people and had to keep a certain distance from the Chu army.

"The pawns of the Dou clan are actually good at shooting?" The county pawn is Tang County's fight for pheasants, so Peng Zong has this saying.

"Yes, yes." Xiang Yan put down Lu Lijing, "If it weren't for Yang Youji......

Hundreds of years ago, if Ao's rebellion was mentioned by Xiang Yan's eldest father, saying that if Ao's rebellion and the first monarch Zhuang Wang was in a disadvantage, so even two arrows failed to hit Zhuang Wang, and when shooting the third arrow, Yang Youji multiplied his unprepared arrow to seal his throat, and Ruo Ao's was defeated.

"Father! Look at ......" Xiang Yan was still thinking about the story when she was a child, and Xiang Liang next to her suddenly pointed at Chen Ying and shouted and jumped.

"The King?!" In Lu Lijing, Xiang Yan finally saw the flames rising from the Dongcheng Tower, which were fire bombs shot by trebuchets.

"The king? It's the king! It's the king! The generals on the entire big wing were shouting, and the shouts of the soldiers on the other boats were even more deafening: "The king is not here, the king is not here!" ”

The fleet of boats that stretched for seven or eight miles fluctuated, and the soldiers cried and laughed, shouted and jumped, and some even fell into the water. This is still a trivial matter, there are boatmen and soldiers who know how to water on the boat, they can enter the water to rescue, what is really disturbing is that many boats collide with each other - a large boat actually fell apart after the collision, split into two single boats, everyone on the single boat panicked, and hit other boats. This is not a few people falling into the water, but a boat of more than 100 people all falling into the water.

"The king is not a monk!" No one cared about the sinking of the boat, they just wanted to get ashore as soon as possible and quickly defeat Qin Kou and rescue the king.

It didn't take long for the boat to travel more than ten miles, and the eight-mile-long boat team anchored in the south of the mouth of the East Lake. Because of the taboo of the Chu army's crossbows and trebuchets, the cavalry of the Qin army was four hundred paces away. The Chu army landed one after another, and when there were not enough boats, some soldiers jumped directly into the chasm that was half as deep as their chests and waded ashore. When the sun rose, the military flag had been unfurled on the west side of the chasm, and the Chu army that landed on the shore was not chaotic at all, and they set up camp three hundred steps away in an orderly manner. 150,000 against more than 300,000, the soldiers had to eat at least half a full meal to fight to the death with the Qin and Wei armies.

"Our army is 150,000, and the enemy army may be 300,000, so we need to use one enemy and two." Taking advantage of the gap between cooking, the generals gathered in the Xiangyan shogunate. In fact, there is no shogunate, there is only an open space here, the chips are placed on the ground, Xiang Yan is standing, and the generals are sitting. "However, the king has not died, the morale of our army is high, and the enemy army has been attacking the city for more than half a year, and everyone is tired."

The firebombs on the east tower of the royal city had stopped at this time, and everyone believed that the king was guarding the last palace chamber. It is for this reason that the decisive battle cannot be delayed. Reinforcements have arrived, and the Qin people will definitely launch a final attack, even if it is delayed for an hour, the king is in danger.

Without saying too many encouraging words, Xiang Yan pointed to the chip board and said, "In the battle of Qingshui in the previous year, our army was thin and thick, leading the Qin people into an ambush. In this battle, I should do the opposite, thick and thin. The Chinese army was appointed by General Deng Sui with 50,000 elite soldiers. The array was twenty rows thick and two thousand columns wide. However, a hundred rows need to be added to the middle hundred columns. Remember! In this battle, the left, center and right armies did not run, but this hundred columns could gallop to meet the enemy.

The right army, composed of 20,000 pawns of the princes and 20,000 pawns of Yingdu, was 20 lines thick and 2,000 columns wide; The left army, led by the general, led by 30,000 county soldiers, 15,000 divisions, 40 lines thick, 1,125 columns wide; Twenty thousand kings and soldiers are under the jurisdiction of this general......"

"General, what about our army?" The lone traveler was helped over to attend the pre-war meeting, and everyone else had arrangements, but his five thousand people did not.

"Can Master Tang be Youque?" Xiang Yan glanced at him and didn't want to arrange for him to go into battle.

"Why?" The lone traveler was not convinced, "The general despises me Tang Shi?" ”

"You!" The lone traveler was aggressive, Xiang Yan was fine, but Peng Zong was a little annoyed.

Xiang Yan had to say: "If the Tang division fights, it can only be listed in the left army." The right army has the East Lake Picture Screen, and there is no fear of the enemy's cavalry. The left army has not learned the spear array, and the thickness of forty lines can also be broken by the Qin army's sharp soldiers. ”

"What's there to fear? Our army stood on the far left of the formation. "The outermost side of the left army is indeed the most dangerous place in the entire army formation, at this time, the width of the army's army formation is no more than 5,125 columns, and even if the enemy army is only 300,000, the width of the army formation will greatly exceed that of the Chu army. The right flank could not be outflanked because of its proximity to the East Lake, but the left flank did not have such a geographical advantage, and the enemy forces with numerical superiority would inevitably focus on attacking the left flank.

"Yes." Xiang Yan saw that the lone traveler had made up his mind, and no longer hesitated on this matter. "Give General Ruoao 500,000 arrows!"

"Thank you, General!" 500,000 arrows sounds like a lot, but no more than 100 are actually distributed to each person. Coupled with the original arrows of the Tang Division, there were about two hundred arrows per person.

"This battle ......" Xiang Yan picked up the interrupted topic, and at his signal, the two armies on the board began to be deduced by the strategists, and after the deduction, he asked loudly: "Do you know?" ”

"General, I'll wait to know!" The deduction on the board is extremely exquisite, and the generals are sure in their hearts.

"This battle ......" the Chu army must be divined before the battle, Peng Zong showed the tortoise shell of the previous divination, and said: "I am also lucky!" ”

"God bless Great Chu, God bless the King!" The generals shouted in unison, and after calling them all bowed, the battle would finally begin.

Chapter VII

On the side of the chasm, when the military flags were unfurled, the smoke was curling, and the firebombs exploded in the Dongcheng Tower, Meng Wu felt bad. Sure enough, before the Chu army's boat docked, the Chu soldiers and soldiers rushed to jump ashore, and then set up a meal. The chasm is only four miles away from the outer city wall, and even if the imitation Lu Lijing is not clear, Chu Jun's movements can be seen very clearly. If you don't dissolve your armor and don't set up an account, it is clear that you want to fight to the death with yourself. To fight or not to fight, that's the question.

"Xiang Yan is only 150,000, please fight with him." Li Xin also stood at the head of Chen Yingcheng, Lu Li looked at Chu Junzai carefully in the mirror, he didn't think that the Chu army was difficult to fight, after all, his own number was overwhelming.

"Seventy percent of the Jing people hold spears...... "After half a year of fierce fighting, the Chu army's advantage in razing spears was fully revealed, and Feng Zheng felt palpitations when he thought of the dense spearheads." But I don't know why Xiang Yan moved the spear-wielding army to the right flank? ”

"Really fight with Xiang Yan, male and female, and wait for Wang Jian to return to Chen with 50,000 troops." Wei Yu on the side interjected. At his suggestion, Meng Wu had sent someone to urgently inform Wang Jian, asking Wang Jian to return to Chencheng with 50,000 people as soon as possible.

"General Wang was ordered by the king to save Yan, and he is no longer under the control of the general, and he may not be able to wait for him." Li Xin was high-spirited, and the siege battle in the past six months was very poor, and he had long hoped to have a field battle with the Chu army and decide the outcome in one battle. "Today, the Yan army has just arrived, and the soldiers are tired, if it can be said that its foothold is not stable and the battle is not stable, our army will win."

Li Xin's judgment about Wang Jian was not wrong, but his prediction of the Chu army was all wrong. The battle of Qingshui the year before last Mengwu dealt with the Chu army, which was one attack after another, and it was only after rubbing its sharpness that it fought a decisive battle with Xiang Yan, rather than a decisive battle with him as soon as he came up. The Chu people are hot-blooded, and fighting with him when his blood is burning is the next step, if you can harass him, exhaust him, delay him, wear down his will, and dampen his spirit, and then fight with him, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

As a young general, Li Xin obviously did not have such combat experience, and Meng Wu did not want to teach these things in front of everyone, so he kept silent. That is, he didn't say war, and he didn't say no, at this time, Wei Xiangziji came quickly.

Chen Ying's outer city was thirty miles in circumference, and it was barely said that there were 40,000 or 50,000 casualties in such a city (this needs to be forgotten that the outer city was flooded), but the attack on Xiaowangcheng caused another 40,000 or 50,000 casualties, which made all the Wei generals very disappointed. Especially the day before yesterday, the Chu army galloped in the royal city on iron horses, killing half of the crossbowmen, which made the Wei army talk about Chu and change color.
