How can Guo Kai do this? Guo Kai is not a military general, even if he is a military general, he can only guard the array to prevent the cavalry of the Qin army from charging into battle. Infantry against cavalry, can only rely on the array, and the once powerful Zhao cavalry in the battle of Jingcheng commanded by Yan Ju most of them were wiped out, and the rest also fled to the Yan Dynasty, and there were only more than 1,000 remnants of cavalry in Handan City.

At the shouts of the chouling, the arrows flew again. Seeing that there was no bow and crossbow in the Zhao people's array, this time the knights of the Qin army almost swept past the spear of the king's pawn, and the circle array with a diameter of four hundred people was no more than three hundred meters wide, and some of the arrows using strong bows floated to the front of the banner along the north wind.

The arrow was lethal when it hit this position, but it still caused a wave of confusion in the heart. The concubines with flowery branches lost their faces, their pale faces seemed to be made of the finest white shackles, the temple maids shrank on the ground and trembled, and the unmarried princesses and princes were still interested at first, but now they either covered their eyes or closed their eyes, and they could not look directly at the bloody war.

The chaos is only the chaos in the heart of the formation, the king and the black clothes standing with spears are not chaotic, the Qin people repeatedly swept the formation, but their array was tight, such as Lin's huge iron spearhead pointed obliquely outside the formation, so that the Qin cavalry did not dare to offend. However, the price was that the circle formation stopped again, watching the Qin army's foot soldiers in the north rolling forward. The battlefield where the three armies fought was not on both sides of the Fushui River, not on the side of Zhangshui, but only in the narrow strip west of Niushoushui.

The Chu army on the Zhangshui River sailed into the Niushou River at a speed of eight knots, and the Qin army that crossed the water intercepted the Zhao people's battle at a rapid march speed of ten kilometers. Obviously, the speed of the Chu army's war boat was two knots faster than that of the Qin army, but at a distance of thirty miles, the speed of the Chu army was extremely limited. When the Yingshi, Xiangshi, Yangxia, and Yueshi landed on the shore and lined up, the Qin army was already two miles away.

The royal pawn fluttering the banner was entangled by the Qin cavalry, and the Qin army's foot soldiers were rushing towards him regardless of the array. The guns were roaring and the drums were sounding, but none of them were as nerve-stimulating as the shouting and blood of the dust and dust that the north wind blew.

The Chu army array, unconvinced, snorted uneasily and hissed slightly, and Xiong Jing had to stroke its mane to alleviate its mania. This is a Sogdiana stallion, uncastrated. On the island of Breeding Horses, it is the head horse of the herd and is difficult to tame.

Galloping is the instinct of the king, and only galloping can show bravery. However, for the Qin army, which was two miles away, it was not a good choice to dispatch cavalry. Even if the heavy cavalry of the Xiang division could defeat the Qin army's array, under the protection of the Qin army's cavalry, they could retreat and line up and then rush up. Xiong Jing's eyes looked at the banner more than ten miles away, which was the goal of the knights of the Chu army.

The nine divisions of the Chu army lined up on the west bank of Niushoushui, and the line listed was not wide, they consisted of nine 60 by 60 phalanxes, but in fact four were not yet formed. Because of the mud, the artillery attached to the Ying Division and the Xiang Division were still struggling in the water and grass, and what really frightened the Qin army was the cavalry belonging to the Ying Division and the Xiang Division.

With the addition of the Guards cavalry, the cavalry subordinate to the Ying Division was close to a thousand. A cavalry division of the Chu army is only one thousand and eighty cavalry, which is already the establishment of a cavalry division, and the rich Xiang division already has three cavalry divisions, but unfortunately except for the heavy cavalry led by Xiang Chaoqin, which is a dragon horse, the rest are all Rong horses collected with heavy money.

Once this force stood on the west bank of Niushou Water, the Qin cavalry that had originally entangled the Zhao people's pawns could only come back to protect the flanks of their own foot soldiers. The cavalry of the Qin army originally left three or four thousand horsemen to haunt the Zhao people, but the landing of the Chu army greatly boosted the morale of the Zhao people, and when they saw that the phoenix flag was ten miles ahead, they ignored the arrows of the Qin cavalry and marched forward, getting closer and closer to the Chu army in the east and west.

The Zhao army had 50,000 soldiers, but Xiong Jing, who commanded the Chu army, did not want to wait for the Zhao people. When he pacified his mount, he saw that the formation of the Yue people had already taken shape, so he ordered: "Enter ——! ”

'Knock knock ......' The Chu army with mobile war boats did not have a chariot, and the drums were built on the drums, and they followed the soldiers forward. When the Chu army took the first step, the Qin people who were arrayed two miles away couldn't help but stagnate, and then the five hundred lords, hundred generals, and tun chiefs roared.

Wang Jian was worried that the Qin army array would be chaotic when the order was changed, and now the Qin army array was indeed chaotic; Wang Jian knew that the army was the weakest on the march, and the current Qin army was indeed weak. But the Chu army did not wait for the Zhao people to get close to the Qin army on both sides, but attacked alone.

The attack made the Qin army more and more chaotic, and the most fatal problem was that the Qin army that was arraying lacked unified command, and when the Chu army's spear formation was a hundred steps away, some soldiers were still in formation, and the rear drums were beating, and the military formation was crookedly and unevenly strided.

There were nine phalanxes in the state of Chu, and on the right side of the phalanx were more than 4,000 cavalry. In the process of advancing, the Chu army front constantly adjusted its position in order to attack the weakest point of the Qin army. If it is a normal formation to fight, this requires the avant-garde to continue to test, now the Qin army is in formation, from the neatness of the military formation, the proficiency of the soldiers can easily see that the soldiers are old soldiers, and that section is new or weak.

The Chu army chose a section of the most chaotic place to attack, and when the two sergeants within a hundred paces charged in the rain of arrows, this section of the Qin army array was divided into two layers: more than ten rows in front rushed forward, and more than thirty rows in the back were one step slower because of the friction, separated by ten steps. When the sharp spears strung up the Qin soldiers in the front row, more than thirty rows of soldiers in the back hurriedly arrived. Looking at the Chu pawns who rushed with spears from the corpses of their compatriots, they quickly fled, who were already panicking.

The Chu army, which broke through the military formation, did not hook the back of the Qin army, and the phoenix banner was in front of the finger, and the nine phalanxes pursued the Qin army's rout, trying to bring the chaos to the second array of the Qin army. The coercion on the battlefield was the most terrifying, but this time it was not the Battle of Weinan, and the Qin army, which was also in the rear, saw the rout rushing towards him, and fired arrows at these people without any warning. The rout dispersed and fled to the sides of the formation.

Rushing here, the heavy armor of the Chu soldiers was exhausted, Xiong Jing immediately ordered the army to stop, and the soldiers sat down. The drumming between the arrays also stopped immediately, and some scattered formations tightened and neatly again, and more than 50,000 people sat down fearlessly two hundred steps away from the Qin army's array, and some soldiers even took out rice crackers.

The disadvantage of the Chu army was that there were few people, because the offensive phalanx was listed, and the front line was also very short, nine phalanxes plus more than 4,000 cavalry, and the width of the formation was no more than one kilometer; The disadvantage of the Qin army was that it was hasty, but when the Chu army sat down to rest, they quickly lined up, especially facing the kilometer array of the Chu army, which was piled up with countless people in a short period of time, and its depth seemed to be so thick that even artillery could not penetrate it.

"The Great King......" Xiong Jing is commanding the battle, but ordering the soldiers to sit on the battlefield is obviously against the norm. The correct thing to do is to attack in one go and break through the Qin army array in front of you; Either simply retreat and wait for the artillery and Zhao troops to arrive before attacking.

Facing Zhuang Wudi's questioning of the military horse, Xiong Jing looked ahead and said, "Don't wait for others." ”

"Wait for ......" The king commanded like this in order to wait for someone, Zhuang Wudi suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.

"Up." A quarter of an hour later, Zhuang Wudi shook the drum again, and the drum bell rang in unison, and the drum sounded slowly. The soldiers, who had rested for a quarter of an hour, no longer sat down, and when they got up, they all heard a military order: "Turn to the left!" ”

'Whew......! 'Yingshi, Xiangshi, Yangxia, and Yue all turned left at a distance of 200 paces from the Qin army's array. Master Ying, Master Xiang were skillful, turning, stepping, and even the sound of spears colliding with armor were all the same, while Master Yang Xia and Master Yue looked messy.

"Enter, enter!" The Chu army in the east and west arrays turned left and advanced westward, in order to avoid this section of the Qin army's heavily fortified array, and the Qin soldiers on the opposite side, who were already ready to fight, were immediately dumbfounded. There has never been an army that moves the whole army to the flanks during a confrontation, the army formation is not solid, the advance is fine, and it is easy to break off the left and right. Even if it doesn't break, if the distance of lateral movement is too long, it will consume the physical strength of the soldier.

But they were obviously overly concerned, and the Chu army only walked a hundred steps to the west before stopping again under the military order. However, the next order once again made the Qin people incomprehensible. The first order was 'turn to the left', and for a time all the Chu troops turned their backs to the Qin army; the second order was still 'turn to the left', and the Chu army seemed to be about to retreat to its original position, and after the third order to 'turn to the left', the tips of the glittering iron spears in the sun were aimed at the Qin army's array two hundred paces away, and the hands and feet of some soldiers were faintly weak.

Three 'left turns' are helpless. Nine phalanxes, the Yue people in the phalanx only know to turn to the left, so the 'sharp soldiers dare to die, brittle and stupid' Yue people do not remember which side is left, which side is right, but whenever they turn around, they are to the left.

The drums were beating loudly at this time, and the Yingshi, who was originally in the center of the line, quickly moved to the left. After a hundred steps to the left, this is the weakest array of the Qin army in this section. The Chu army moved to the left, the Ying division moved to the left, and the Qin army also moved under the command of the lieutenant school, trying to strengthen the depth on the far right, but this action was interrupted in the middle of the process, and the Chu army drummed loudly, and the battle was about to begin.

The Chu army advanced northward, broke through the Qin army's array, and continued to advance northward, and finally blocked the second line of the Qin army's array. Taking advantage of this gap, the formation of the king's pawn quickly rushed east and quickly moved closer to the Chu army. The distance of ten miles was only two quarters of an hour, and when the drums of the Chu army were beating, the Zhao army dispersed the rout on the first array of the Qin army, and it was seven hundred steps away from the Chu army.

"General drums, please!" The drums of the Chu army were loud, but the Zhao army did not beat the drums, so the crane Guanzi stepped forward to ask Zhao Cong to beat the drums.

"Our army ......" Zhao Cong's eyes wandered, he didn't want to attack the Qin army, he just wanted to retreat to the bank of Niushou Water and board a boat to leave.

"General drums, please!" Que Guanzi knew his thoughts, and he also knew the thoughts of the Queen Mother, so he had to go one step further.

"Our army has been running so far, and it is tired and cannot fight." Zhao Cong avoided the Crane Guanzi's gaze.

"Our army can fight. General drums, please! Que Guanzi insisted, still asking Zhao Cong to beat the drum.

"Our army is tired, you can't fight, you ......" Zhao Cong was still arguing, but he soon couldn't argue anymore/ Crane Guanzi drew his sword, and the sword stabbed him in the neck. Stunned left and right, his head was cut off.

"Zhao Cong is cowardly, I will kill this thief for the king!" The blood stained the beard of the crane crown red, and he grabbed Zhao Onion's head and shouted, "Beat the drum!" ”

Stimulated by this, the drummer reflexively waved the drumstick, and the drum beat suddenly.
