When Fu Jing and the others came out of the woods, Jiangyi had already caught fire, and it was the Qin army that was ordered to burn their own baggage before exiting Jiangyi. Seeing this, Fei Jing was even more anxious, but it would take a while to get to the place where the horses were hidden. When a few people walked out of the woods, although they blocked their mouths and noses with cloth, they were still smoked by the smell of rotting corpses and wanted to vomit This is the battlefield of the Battle of Jiangyi, and after the Qin army cut off the head, the corpses of the Chu army are still in the wilderness. The headless ghosts who died in battle were all fierce ghosts, and they couldn't even enter the ancestral temple, and it was by taking advantage of this point that the old scouts frequently touched Jiangyi to detect the enemy.

The headless limbs, split stomachs and broken intestines on the corpse field, white bones, red flesh, black blood and ...... are attracting countless wild crows and wild dogs to come and eat, and as soon as the three of them are erected, the wild crows are angry and flying, the wild dogs bark rapidly, and the evil flies and insects are so frightened that they dance all over the sky. The youngest Fen Dun felt that his legs were weak, and Fei Jing also shouted guilt in his heart, and the old scout was talking about the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and kept promising to the wild ghosts: After defeating, he will come back to cover his bones and sacrifice every year.

Walking in this hellish corpse field, the whole body was not chilling but shivering, and it seemed that after walking for an afternoon in a trance, the three of them walked to the Tibetan horse, got on the horse and went to the south of the camp. Although the north wind was cold, Fu Jing felt that her whole body was extremely warm under the sun, as if Yingdu's hot body was snuggled in her arms.

"Qin people!" Fen, who did not have as many reveries as the prince of the royal family, came out of the corpse field with a pale face, and after getting on the horse, he kept looking around, for fear of meeting the martial knights of the Qin people. I was really afraid of something, there happened to be a few martial knights drinking horses by the river, and when they saw the three horses running south, they immediately got on their horses and chased after them.

"How's that good?" He began to regret that he had not listened to the old scout's advice.

"I can't catch up." The old scout glanced back and muttered to himself helplessly. He suddenly whipped on the concubine's horse, and said loudly: "Childe go first!" Sigh! His horse was suddenly stopped, and with him was the reluctant Fen, both of whom were born as children, and could only cover the royal son's concubine Jing to escape first.

The "old scout......" horse was whipped and ran faster, and Fei Jing looked back as she tried to keep her balance. He saw that the old scout and Fen were catching up with the Qin people who were chasing after him, although the two were just humble boys, but when the wind blew, his tears still drifted behind him with the wind. However, he stopped looking back and didn't see what he saw: Fen Yijian, who was following behind the old scout, stabbed the old scout off his horse, cut off his head before the Qin people arrived, and then abandoned the sword and knelt down on the dry grass with the head in his hand.

"You said that the Qin people withdrew from Jiangyi and set fire to the baggage?" In the shogunate of the Chu army camp in the south of Jiangyi, the general Xiang Yan did not sit in the position of the main general, and the new monarch of the Chu State was Xiong Jing, who was wearing Wei Ben's uniform.

"Exactly." Fei Jing replied. "The kid saw that the Qin people withdrew from Jiangyi and burned the baggage, so he came back to report the news, and there was ...... on the way."

The scouts all come back at night, and Fei Jing can come back during the day with good luck and riding skills, and her courage is big enough. Xiang Yan said with some approval: "Sima will remember your merits, go down and rest." ”

"The kid quit." Xiang Yan personally said that remembering merit is a rare thing, but Fei Jing did not have the slightest joy, he first shook Xiong Jing, and then Xiang Yan, and then withdrew from the shogunate.

Although the arrival of the "Great King...... Xiong Jing increased the number of the entire army to 250,000, Xiang Yan had to worry about Xiong Jing, the unwielding king, in etiquette.

"I don't say that I will never interfere in the war, and General Xiang doesn't have to worry about it." Xiang Yan in Xiong Jing's eyes is definitely a lonely and arrogant person, which can be detected from his high head and protruding cheekbones from time to time. Xiong Jing showed great respect for him from the time they met, but he did not give Xiang Yan Jiangdong's division the right to fight. He is sitting here, more as the master of the military power of Jiangdong, not as the king of the army, and he has the power of the soldiers, which he has no teacher.

"What do the generals think?" Xiang Yan is arrogant in Xiong Jing's eyes, and Xiong Jing is definitely a demon in Xiang Yan's eyes. He can't remember what his own appearance is, but he completely remembers what his eldest son Xiang Chaowei looks like, except for talking upside down and asking someone to wipe his butt after shitting, he will never be able to stay in one place for a quarter of the time in a pot of water. And the king in front of him looked at the sand table for a day, speaking decently and behaving politely, which was really an abnormality of the demon.

"Tell the king and the general, I think ......" The generals must look at Xiong Jing first before they speak. …… The Qin people's move was to lure me north, so that I could cut off my grain route, and trap and kill me like Changping did against the Zhao people. ”

The Qin army lured them north to fight a decisive battle was something that had been discussed before, and now their withdrawal from Jiangyi was just in line with this. But some people disagreed, and the head of the Yingshi division said: "Tell the king and the general, the last general thinks otherwise." The Qin people withdrew from Jiangyi, or they could retreat to Yiyi to avoid a fight. Everyone must know that Qi Wei has already sent troops, and this time is not another time. The situation has changed from the Qin people's eagerness to decisive to our army's eagerness to decisive each other, otherwise Lu will lose land, Huaibei counties will be unstable, and our army's grain and grass will be helpless. ”

"General Guan is wrong, this Sima has not received the news of the Wei State sending troops for the time being, and the Qi division, although it has besieged Ju County, but the city will not be pulled." The expressions of the people who said it were solemn, and the military Sima Peng Zong immediately refuted the rumors, he didn't want the generals to panic.

"That's the case, doesn't our army need to worry about Qi and Wei?" Guan asked rhetorically. "It's a pity that I made Yin suffer from the thief Jinghua, otherwise there would be Yin here, and Zhao Guo would have already sent troops to help. In the current situation, the last general thought that our army should take advantage of the fact that the Qin army was not fully arrived, and go north to fight with Yiyi; If it is late, the 300,000 Qin army will arrive, not to mention that our army will be invincible, and Lu Dihuai will also lose, at that time, the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Qi will attack our country, and the country will be in danger! ”

"That's true, it's better for the Qin army to have a duel with it than to have 300,000 duels." What Guan You said is not unreasonable, now it is not the Qin army that is in a hurry, but the Chu army is in a hurry, and the more you delay, the worse the situation will be. There are many people here who agree with his words.

"The last general asked the king and the general to allow our army to fight to the death with the Qin people." Pan Wuming immediately stood up and asked for his life, and when he stood up, the other generals also stood up, and the sound of battle was buzzing.

"Since you have worshiped the general, it is up to the general to decide whether to fight or not." Xiong Jing once again emphasized Xiang Yan's rights and responsibilities.

"The last general is bold, please give the general Jiangdong the military power......" Taking advantage of this situation, the military Sima Peng Zong's eyes turned, and he took the lead in worshipping Xiong Jing, and finally asked for the military power in front of the public.

"If the general is determined to fight, he will not give him the right to fight in Jiangdong. It's just that the teachers of Jiangdong are all Yue people, and there are many promises when they come, and there are some matters to be explained at the time of the handover. This is already-for-tat, Xiong Jing was stunned for a moment before answering, although he promised to hand over the military power, but left a tail for a number of matters.

"Dare to ask the king what he has to say?" Peng Zong immediately asked, leaving no room for it. "Although the divisions of Jiangdong are all Yue people, they are also under the rule of my Chu State."

"The general has set a date for a decisive battle?" Xiong Jing no longer ignored him, but shifted the topic to Xiang Yan. "If the Qin people guard the camp and don't fight me, what if?"

"This ......" In fact, Xiang Yan is also thinking about this issue. The decisive battle between the two armies is a field battle, and the field battle is a battle in formation. Although Yiyi cannot accommodate more than 200,000 people, the Qin army outside the city has been operating for more than a month, and it has long been a deep ditch and a solid wall, and if he doesn't come out to fight, he can't do anything about them. You can't attack the city, can you?

Xiong Jing's question Xiang Yan was speechless, and the generals who asked for the battle couldn't think of a good way. If the Qin people don't go north to fight for war, then it is better to camp here, after all, it is closer to Xi County and the logistics line is shorter.

"If the Qin people don't fight with me, there is a way." Xiong Jing laughed, very weird.

"Please ask the king to teach the ministers." Along with Xiang Yan, all the generals in the shogunate saluted Xiong Jing.

"Then go out and have a look." Seeing that Yang Shu on the opposite side nodded to him, signaling that everything was in order, Xiong Jing immediately got up and left the shogunate.

"See?" All the generals were surprised, but they had to follow Xiong Jing, the five-foot king, out of the shogunate.

"What's that?" Because of Xiongjing, the Koto division was stationed in the middle of the camp, close to the shogunate. As soon as the generals left the camp, they saw the boom of the trebuchet about fifteen or sixteen meters long in the camp of the Jiangdong division dangling in the air, which was just installed on the order of Xiong Jing, and there were only two of them.

The scar from the horseback grinding that day was not yet healed, and the impatient Xiong Jing walked too fast, and when he walked to the trebuchet with the generals, he felt a pain in his buttocks. He endured the pain and introduced: "This thing is called a trebuchet, which is different from the car that defends the city, which can only throw stones on the city wall, and this kind of trebuchet can throw stones on the flat ground. You guys...... Let's go back, let's take a look first. ”

The counterweight trebuchet is already ten meters high, and there is a boom of more than ten meters on it, which adds up to nearly thirty meters high. When the boom swayed, the whole wooden frame creaked, which was very scary. Such a behemoth is already intimidating, and if Xiong Jing says to retreat, the generals will unconsciously move back.

Xiong Jing also retreated, as soon as he stepped back, the soldiers under the trebuchet raised the flag, and the machine was personally commanded by Yin Dao, the worker who built the house, only to listen to what he drank, and the strong men in the two erected large discs below the trebuchet began to run quickly in the disc, and every time the disc turned, the boom erected at one hundred and eighty degrees was tilted back ten degrees, and after fourteen laps, the top end of the boom fell to a predetermined position, and the two hands began to fix the boom, and the leather pocket was loaded with iron bullets, and at the same time the disc began to rotate This is the rope retreat, and the disc is actually a squirrel cage crane, The rope is attached to the end of the boom, and if the rope is not withdrawn, the boom will throw the two discs together.

From the boom upright to the reload, it needs to be turned back 14 times, and the number of turns that need to be turned when the rope is withdrawn is generally 18 turns, and the conservative 20 turns. When throwing stones, the boom will cross the 180 degree line and tilt forward more than 30 degrees, so it is necessary to retreat a few more times so as not to affect the two discs. Under normal circumstances, it takes five seconds for each rotation of the two strong men in the plate, and it takes 170 seconds for the thirty-four rotations, which is close to three minutes. It is equivalent to saying that the trebuchet can only throw an iron bullet every three minutes, and the efficiency cannot be compared with the crossbow at all.
