The battle is imminent, and the generals and strategists are extremely serious, so the laughter seems a little abrupt. Xiong Jing didn't seem to hear the generals' laughter, he pointed to the first military curtain of the Qin army and asked, "Why is this scene higher than his curtain?" ”

The staff system of the Chu army is being established, and the Weinan military curtain is continuous, because the staff operations are very meticulous, so the Qin army's military curtain, which is almost the same in height, is observed so carefully, Xiong Jing nodded deeply to Zhuang Wudi and others to express his appreciation.

"The height of the Qin people's military curtain is different." Zhuang is not authentic. "The military curtain is no more than seven feet high, but this curtain is eight feet, and the ministers think that behind the scenes is the crossbow of the Qin people. Set up a crossbow here, just to shoot our artillery soldiers. ”

"Thorn crossbow?" Xiong Jing estimated that the crossbow was indeed higher than a person, and nodded without doubt at the moment.

"These several military tents are all different." Zhuang Wudi said uneasily: "The Qin army's array is four thousand columns wide, and the Chinese army is no more than a hundred rows. Six military tents are really redundant. It's a pity that our army can't get a glimpse of the camp. ”

"Why bother into the camp." Cheng Tong was convinced that Xiong Jing attacked his heart, and he must lead Xi Shi to enter the Qin army and seize the Chang flag.

"Why did the shogunate think there were five military tents left?" Xiong Jing asked. If the width of the array is 4,000 columns, and there are six military tents, each with 30 lines, this is 720,000 people, and it is impossible for the Qin army to have so many people.

"When our army attacked Shangyi, the Qin people dug trenches in the city." Zhuang Wu said, "The minister thinks that there are several deep trenches and low walls in the five military tents, and once the Qin army is defeated, they can retreat to the back of the trench, draw the wooden bridge, and block our army." ”

"Hmm." Civil engineering operations have always been effective for defence. The battlefield was predetermined, and it was not impossible for the Qin army to dig deep trenches on the position. "If there is a deep trench, what will our army be?"

"Our army has prepared beams and pillars to build bridges." The public loses taboo. "I think tomorrow will not be a hand-to-hand battle, but a battle of bridges."

"Reasonable." Xiong Jing agreed with the statement that Weishui was the first obstacle to stop the Chu army's attack, and if the Qin army dug deep trenches on the battlefield, then there were six obstacles to the invasion of Zhao Zheng's Wang Mu, and these obstacles had to be overcome by engineers.

In the shogunate's battle situation, the Qin army may lure the enemy deep into the trench and lead the Chu army into front of the deep trench, and then the left and right armies turn back and attack, encircling and annihilating the Chu army under the deep trench, like a copy of the Battle of Qingshui. If Wei Yu's poverty limits his imagination, then the Chu army shogunate advisers are now 'why not eat minced meat?' They greatly underestimated the Chu army's killing and wounding of the Qin army in several battles, and they also overestimated the Qin army's courage and determination.

The decisive battle was imminent, and the generals gathered in the shogunate, and heard that Zhuang Wudi and other strategists talked about the details of the whole operation, although these things should be told to their military commanders, but they were the actual commanders of each division, and they must understand the details of the entire operation, and remember some mistakes and mistakes that cannot be made. Military operations are based on numbers, and no matter how brave a general is, he cannot ignore this.

The military discussion continued, and at this time, the sappers who acted according to the plan had already poured concrete piles on the north bank of Weishui, and in less than a few hours, dozens of concrete piles were erected on the north bank of Weishui, which stretched for more than ten miles. The scouts who shouted 'report' soon alarmed the shogunate. After Doutsune left, the advisers in the shogunate were not discussing the war, but the epidemic in the army.

"King, the Jing people will cross Wei! King, the Jing people will cross the Wei ......" Zhao Zheng was still taking a nap at this time, and the guards who rushed out of the shogunate, Zhao Yong and others hurried to the Wang curtain after receiving the report, and Zhao Gao couldn't stop him.

"Great King, the Jing people will cross the ......" Zhao Yong rushed into the king's tent and said loudly in front of Zhao Zheng's couch.

The weather is still hot, and the epidemic in the army cannot be suppressed, and if it drags on, it is likely that there will be a big outbreak. The Chu army will cross the Weishui, which is equivalent to saving the crisis. Zhao Zheng, who opened his eyes, was stunned for a while before jumping up, "Jing people have no food, Jing people have no food!" ”

In the scorching summer, the Qin army could only live in a thin military tent, but the Chu army slept comfortably in the Xianyang Palace. Except for the lack of food, Zhao Zheng couldn't think of why they were in a hurry to fight a decisive battle. He immediately bowed in the direction of Xianyang: "The ancestor is above, Zhao Zheng must defeat the Jing people in this battle, destroy the Jing country, and humiliate him with blood." ”

Zhao Zheng bowed, and Zhao Yongwei and others followed him to worship. Just when everyone was worshipping, a more poignant military report sounded, "Tell the king, Jing people are coming to the army!" ”

"What do you mean?!" Zhao Zheng's whole person froze instantly.

"The Jing army has crossed the mountains and is heading towards the Rim River, and it will reach the mouth of the Rim River tomorrow at the latest." Hou Zheng went to the king's tent with the scouts who reported the news, and reported the most urgent military situation to everyone. At this time, everyone finally knew why the Chu army came to make an appointment to fight, this was to attack themselves before and after the reinforcements.

"Do you know the geometry of the Jing people?" Zhao Yong stretched out his hand and asked urgently.

"Jing people are all over the mountains, and I am afraid that there will be no less than 100,000." The scouts of the Chu army rode dragon horses, up and down the mountain hills, and in and out of streams, and the Qin horses were inferior. Scouts can only move in groups, looking at them from a distance. Because of the distance, I only saw that the north and south of the Qinling Mountains were all Chu troops.

"One hundred thousand?" Zhao Zheng gritted his teeth and resented, "Where is Li Xin?" Where is Lee Shin?! The widow had ordered Li Xinwu to stop Jing people from Nanyang, but he turned a deaf ear! But he turned a deaf ear! With a 'bang', Zhao Zheng's fist hit the bedpost.

The Chu army came back and forth, the king was furious, and the generals did not dare to persuade each other, only Wei Yi persuaded: "Please don't worry, the mouth of the Rim River has been dammed, and the river is full of water, and the Jing people, chariots and horses can't do it." ”

"Carriages? How did Jing people defeat me in the previous battle?! "Zhao Zhengqian is angry with Wei Yi." Jing people can abandon their chariots and horses and go out of the river on the ridge. Gongchuan is less than 100 miles away from our army! ”

"The king, the minister thinks that our army's formation has been completed, and it is too late to avoid it, for the sake of today's plan, the last general is willing to lead an army of 100,000 to block the Jing people on the ba." Meng Tian couldn't help but say, he really didn't want to see Zhao Zhengfang in chaos. "The Rim River has become a water, and the Jing people have no witches. The last general will be able to hold it back from the ba, and not an inch will be allowed to enter. ”

"Great King, General Meng's command is all elite soldiers, if 100,000 elite soldiers go to Bashang to block the Jing people, our army will ......" Wei Yi is very aware of the current situation of the Qin army. If he wanted to, he didn't want the Qin soldiers to gather here.

"So what?" Zhao Zheng was still angry, and it was Zhao Yong who spoke. "The plan of the Jing people is to attack back and forth, so that I am defeated. If we can't stop the Jing people from being on the ba, our army will be in danger. ”

"The last and last generals are willing to lead 150,000 people to block the Jing people on the ba." The person who spoke was not confident because he had already failed twice.

"You ......" even Zhao Zheng was surprised by this person's request, but the reality is that the generals in the shogunate have all been arranged, but Zhang Han is idle. There are many Qin soldiers, but there are few qualified and semi-qualified generals, except for Zhang Han, there is really no more suitable candidate.

"What if you are defeated by the Jing people again, and the reinforcements attack my back?" Zhao Zhengyin asked pitifully, squinting at him.

"The minister would rather die in battle than be defeated by the Jing people again and attack my back." Zhang Han said again. "Our army is a hundred miles away from the Rim River, please give the order quickly from the king, it's too late."

"No." There are only 50,000 people at the mouth of the Rim River, and the 100,000 people of the Chu army are coming, and these 50,000 people will definitely not be able to stop it. "The widow will order you to lead an army of 150,000 to intercept the Jing people on the Ba, and if you are defeated again and the Jing people attack my back, you will be punished."

The word clan punishment made Zhang Han's heart skip a beat, but he had to seize this opportunity to impress the king, and he shouted: "Respectful! ”

"Good!" Zhao Zheng no longer looked at him, and only asked the left and right to give him a talisman axe.

Tomorrow will be the day of the decisive battle. The scouts of the Chu army crossed the Weishui and scattered to reconnoitre, and the movement of the 150,000 Qin troops was soon reported to the shogunate. However, the shogunate did not pay attention to this, and they were asking about another matter.

"Are they really crossing Weishui in the north?" Dou Chang looked at Qu Xi, who was the cavalry general in charge of searching and reconnoitring to the west.

"Yes, yes." Qu Xi nodded repeatedly. "They said that there is no millet in Weinan, and only by crossing the ruins to the north can we eat."

Waste hill is the Qin people's saying, before the waste hill Zhou people called it dog hill (now Xingping City), this place has been 80 miles west of Xianyang. The people Qu Xi said were craftsmen and chengdan who built palaces in Weinan, and they began to leave Weinan for Weibei a few days ago. Qu Xi didn't just search for the prescribed fifty miles, and when he saw more than 100,000 people marching, he naturally went up to observe carefully.

"Or a disciple of the Mo family!" Zhuang Wudi judged. "However, if it is the Mo family, why don't you go east to the Qin army camp?"

Zhuang Wudi's question Qu Xi couldn't answer it, because all he saw were honest craftsmen and cowering Chengdan, these people fled Weinan with nothing, at most some taro in their arms. The heavens were scorching, and there were people who couldn't fall down while they were moving, and others didn't help them, so they let those people fall and die on the road.

"Or maybe it's not a member of the Mo family." After listening carefully to Qu Xi's report, Dou Chang found no threat. These people are unarmed and unarmed, and they may have crossed the Weishui River to eat. Weinan was the palace of the King of Qin, and many places there were hunting grounds, and there were no cities. Only in Weibei can they find corn in a continuous city.

"They are eighty miles away from me, and the day after tomorrow, our army will cross the river to meet the Qin army, and it will not harm me." Dou Chang Dao.

The ruins of the mound are eighty miles away, and those craftsmen will cross Weishui today, rest for a night, and even if they go to Xianyang tomorrow, they may not be able to reach it. Even if they can get there, there is no threat, just a team of official slaves who have nowhere to eat.

There was nothing wrong with Dou Chang's judgment, and the Chu army should really focus on the Qin army, not these craftsmen and slaves. In Xianyang City, Dou Chang and the others thought so, and on the outskirts of the ruined hill city at sunset, watching the Chu army scouts riding dragon horses collect their troops and go away, a few pendulum-haired children who were throwing stones on the side of the road had a smile on their faces.

"Juzi, Jing people retreat, Jing people retreat." The child ran to the city of the ruined hill and said goodbye to Yan Wu.

If it weren't for the child's announcement, Yan Wuyi, who was stomping on sackcloth, would be as good as Chengdan, and no one would have thought that he would be the son of the Mo family. Yan Wuyi sighed, threw a few pieces of cake left and right, and the cake fell to the ground, and the children immediately scrambled for it.
