Before dawn, Xiong Jing, who had slept soundly all night, had woken up. At this time, it was still dark outside the tent, and only the shogunate was brightly lit. In the westernmost tent of the strategists, from time to time there were arguments about the calculations of the strategists, but fortunately these voices were not loud, and they had to be listened carefully to hear the truth. The voice that could really be heard was the prayer of Jun Sima Zhuang during the divination of the land, and he was chanting the ancient greetings.

Today is the decisive battle. Thinking of this, his brain gradually became clear before he fully woke up, and his heart hung up. Anything can happen on the battlefield, nothing is certain, maybe a sudden gust of wind, an unnailed horseshoe nail, can change the outcome of the entire war.

He was so worried, and just as his worries gradually rose, another scene suddenly appeared in his mind: endless camp tents, military flags like forests, and military formations like the Great Wall were displayed across the earth. The cavalry galloped, the foot soldiers stood solemnly, and in the silence only the sound of the wind blowing the flag. And with a few loud and long military orders, the drums suddenly sounded, and the Great Wall, which was dozens of miles wide, began to advance slowly, and the dust raised by the footsteps diffused in the air, and everything seemed hazy, only the sound was real.

'Step, step, step, step, step, step, step...... 'The neat footsteps of the Chu soldiers when they left the city yesterday recalled to Xiong Jing's mind again. He shook his head with a smile, never wanting to see a decisive battle today. Today is just his stage, the stage of the generals of the Chu army, blood and pride, glory and pride, will be displayed on this stage. Only the weak fear war, and the strong always embrace war, even if they die in war.

"King Qiqi!" Zhuang Wudi's voice was surprisingly high, and Xiong Jing was already enjoying his breakfast at this time, a freshly slaughtered calf, and the delicate beef had never been so sweet.

"Words." Xiong Jing devoured it, and he probably guessed what Zhuang Wudi was going to say.

"Tell the king, the minister has already made a decision, Ji also!" Zhuang Wudi shouted, hoping that the entire shogunate and the whole army would hear the results of the divination.

"Good." Xiong Jing put down the clamp and saluted in the direction of Chu State. "This Taiyi, the Great Priest, the ancestor bless me, etc."

No matter what the situation is, it is not wrong to attribute the auspicious omen to Taiyi, Da Si Ming, and ancestor Junzhu. If something unfortunate happens, it must be the misfortune that is doing the trick. Xiong Jing saluted, and the rest of the people followed suit, and after the salute, Xiong Jing asked with a straight face: "How are the Qin people?" ”

"Unchanged." Zhuang Wudi replied and was a little worried, "However, there is no news from the army of Dongye. ”

The carrier pigeon flew to Yingdu for one day, Yingdu flew to Xianyang for one day, so it was not fast to transmit information, according to the plan, after the Chu army led by Dongye Gu went out of Sichuan, and even did not go out of Sichuan, they had to send people to Weishui to meet the Chu army, but until now, the reconnaissance cavalry of the reinforcements has not appeared. Negligence is impossible, and the only explanation is that the Qin army dispatched cavalry to cut off the road. The Chu cavalry sent by Dongye Gu was too few or too scattered, and although they went north, they were still stopped by the Qin people.

"It doesn't matter." Xiong Jing just stared, and he wasn't worried that Dongye would miss the appointment.

"Rude." Xiong Jing has not finished eating, and a few pawns are already dismantling the tent. According to the military order, the tents of the shogunate were also to be dismantled.

"The hour has come. Dismantle. One by one, the contents of the tent were taken away. As soon as the tent was gone, a glimmer of light was revealed in the dark night, which was the moment of the bridge-building formation in the battle plan.

The east is clear, and the sappers on the north bank of Weishui have completed the formation of the pontoon bridge. Unlike the Qin people's transit cars, the Chu army pontoon bridge was not folded, it was like an enlarged and elongated ladder, with a row of blowing sheepskin sacs tied to the crossbar of the ladder, and a thick layer of wooden planks would be laid on top of it after launching into the water. Each sapper carried a pair of pontoon bridges, each of which was more than one zhang wide and about 30 zhang long. If you want to cross the Weishui River, which is more than 300 zhang and 400 zhang wide, you need 10 to 12 pontoon bridges.

Although the Chu army had artillery to cover the bridge, it was not easy for 120,000 people and 40,000 horses (there were thousands of good horses in the Xianyang outer and inner stables) to cross the Weishui. Any army is the strongest when it is deployed, and the weakest when it is on the march, and the weakest moment of the Chu army in this campaign is not the building of bridges, but the time when the divisions are not fully developed in the process of crossing the water. Attacking it halfway, the Qin army will definitely launch a fierce attack.

"Enter! Enter! Entering the ......" in the previously determined position of the bridge, in the command of the engineer commander, the sappers carrying six pontoons quickly rushed to Weishui, except for the shallow place to step out of the huge splash, once into the deep water, the river suddenly swallowed them, only a head and half a body floated. Then the crowd did not run, but they turned over and went onto the bridge, sat on the pontoon and rowed to the other side. The huge wire that was secretly arranged under the water yesterday was also used, and the sappers who did not paddle pulled the huge wire forward.

The Qin army's transfer car is only aimed at a few zhang, a dozen zhang of the moat, and the last time I saw the Chu army pontoon bridge in Bashui, it is not much longer than the transfer car, the general of the Qin army is very suspicious of the Chu army's ability to build bridges, not that they can't build bridges, but that it takes several hours or even a day and a night to build bridges, and now seeing that the Chu army is building bridges so quickly, even if they are prepared, they are also shocked.

"What bridge is that?" The red Chang flag fluttered high, and in the mirror, Zhao Zheng saw the Chu army carrying the wooden bridge into the water one after another. He is still riding yesterday's jujube red dragon horse, the horse is called Chiji, the head of the eight horses of King Zhou Mu, and the name of the tall. Xiong Jing's disobedience to one, disobedience to two, disobedience to three, disobedience to four...... naming of later generations of online accounts is useless except for easy memory.

"The Bridge of Skins, too." Wei Yu replied. His words reminded Zhao Zheng of Xiong Jing's humiliation of the Qin State at one time. "It's just that this bridge is so long, and the water is rippling, even if there is no war boat, it will be destroyed."

The skin is too light, and the Weishui in this season is not only wide on the surface, but also fast in flow. Wei Yi's worries were not unreasonable, but there was no need to worry, as soon as the Chu army's pontoon bridge entered the water, the Qin army's boat divisions in the lower and upper reaches of Weishui were dispatched.

"The ruler is four hundred, zero and one to the right, and one to the high. One test firing of live ammunition ...... "The artillery of the Chu army on the north bank of Weishui has been put into line, and their task is to protect the sappers who built the bridge and protect the bridge from being washed away by enemy warboats. There were only two battalions of artillery upstream, relative to the three battalions downstream. Even for two battalions, after the 32 guns were put in column, the artillery array was 320 meters wide, and the commanders of the artillery company and platoon kept repeating the commands, and the roar of the artillery test firing opened the prelude to the battle.

"Let's go-" The artillery commander's order was mixed with flames and smoke, and in the rumbling cannon, the military formation of the Chu army had been formed, and the twelve and a half divisions were lined up into thirteen large phalanxes, and the first cavalry division and the second cavalry division under the command of the Ying division, the cavalry division under the command of Ruo Ao, the cavalry division under the command of the E division, and the cavalry belonging to each division and brigade were arranged on both sides of the army formation and in the artillery position.

After several battles, although the horses' ears twitched instinctively every time the cannon sounded, they were no longer afraid of this sound. The soldiers were not only accustomed to the sound of cannons, but also revered them, and each cannonball represented the gods on their side, and every cannonball was a divine power acting on the world. When the Qin army's warships on Weishui on both sides of the army formation were hit and broken by cannonballs, the spears in their hands slammed into the armor and cheered loudly.

Shells, even in front of fifteen catties of shells, the Qin army's war boat seemed to be Chu paper paste, whenever it was hit by a shell, the war boat was either pierced or broken. After the boat sank, the armor soldiers on the deck sank directly into the Weishui, and only those who rowed without armor soldiers could escape. This is not a battle at all, this is a one-sided slaughter.

Only the arsonist boats that went down the river upstream posed some threat to the pontoon, but this was only a threat, and the sappers had already laid several huge wire nets in the water, which were only half a foot above the water, and the upstream fireboats were all stopped outside the pontoon bridge by them, and the fire was raging, and the arsonist boats finally stuck together, and the thunderbolts burned.

"That's it?" The Weishui was covered with the debris of the Qin army's war boats and the men who were trying to survive in the water, and Zhao Zheng was very helpless about the effect of the attack on the boat division, and Zhao Ying, the general of the boat division, had assured him that the boat division would definitely be able to destroy the pontoon bridge of the Jing people.

The witch weapon not only has a long range and great power, but also has a very fast rate of fire, and the strategists of the National Captain's Mansion did not have any expectations for Zhao Ying's boat master, but when they arrived at the battlefield, everyone couldn't help but hope that the boat master could have certain results. Upstream of Weishui, seeing that the arsonist boat did not touch the pontoon bridge of the Chu army at all, the annoyed Zhao Ying shouted: "Drumming! ”

"General?!" Drumming is to advance, not only the last more than 20 single-oared and large-wing warships are going forward, but even the command boats with flags are also going forward, and the boat officials looked at Zhao Ying in confusion.

"Drumming!!" Zhao Ying glared at him angrily and waved his hand to make him beat the drum. The drums beat again, and the twenty-five wooden oars on either side of the wings rose and fell rapidly, accelerating towards the arsonist two miles away.

The Qin army in the upper reaches of Weishui has few warships, so there are fewer artillery, but there are thirty-two guns no matter how few, and nearly a hundred large-wing warships were destroyed by artillery fire just now, and now more than 20 are rushing in, which is simply to send them to death. Even if these warships are all together, it seems that they want to cover each other.

This tactic may have worked, but the 32 guns were arrayed in a formation as wide as 320 meters, and even if 320 meters were smooth, it would take the boat four or five minutes to pass. The four or five minutes of heavy shelling were enough to destroy the boats.

"Sickness, sickness! If you don't get sick, you will die! Zhao Ying knew his fate, but he only cared about the pontoon bridge of the Chu army. He shouted eagerly to the drummers, and to the men below deck, and he had to speed up desperately.

"Putting ——!" Enter the artillery fire arena and roar again. A cannonball stuck to the surface of the water, like a black swallow, fell on the surface of the water and quickly bounced, and with a 'bang', the cannonball pierced the side of the boat on the north side, making a hole the size of a shield, and tons of river water poured in. However, the shell did not stop, first smashing the head of the north man, then the chest of the south man, and finally breaking a hole in the south side of the gunwale, and then struck the north side of the other ship.
