Even at night, Mi Xuan's mind was still thinking about the Qi man who died with a sword, she felt that this person died because of herself, and if the man did not order the whole army to exercise, he would not die.

On this day, the allied forces advanced 133 chuli according to the marching plan, during which the cavalry of the two armies frequently harassed and counter-attacked. The battle mainly took place in the baggage convoy after fifteen miles of the Chinese army, the Qin army frantically attacked the baggage convoy, the offensive line continued to the west of Linzi City, the coalition cavalry and the 60,000 troops left in Linzi went all out to resist the enemy cavalry to ensure the integrity of the baggage convoy.

Under the attack of such a long front, it must be the cavalry of the Qin army that is advantageous, and the coalition forces can only ensure that the most important baggage - horse material is not burned by the enemy. Eighteen thousand war horses and more than three thousand reserve horses were more than 8,000 horses for the command, the military tent, the guards, the artillery, the engineers, and the baggage (tent), and the 30,000 horses consumed 300 tons of forage every day, and 1,500 tons for five days. To ensure that the allied forces needed at least 1,500 wagons for a five-day march, this number was about 2,000, including the consumption of horses that the baggage convoys had.

The Chu army alone brought more than 10,000 four-wheeled carriages, and the Qi army only lost the army of Gaotang, and the army of Linzi and Jimo only suffered very little losses. Coupled with the carriages and horses left behind by the Qin people, the baggage convoy behind the coalition army alone exceeded 20,000 four-wheeled carriages, more than 40,000 ox carts, and some human-powered chariots. Such a large number of baggage vehicles were obviously not something that the Qin army could destroy, not to mention that the coalition forces had already made arrangements.

The Chu army relied on baggage horse material, and the cavalry of the Qin army also needed baggage horse material. After this day's attack, all the Qin cavalry retreated, otherwise the more than 40,000 war horses would also be short of horse feed. They will retreat to a place where there is horse feed, and then wait for the coalition forces to enter the attack range and attack again with all their might, but this may be on the Qin-Qi border - the cavalry led by the Qi Heel has been burning the Qin army's transport convoy west of Pingling since yesterday morning to burn the Qin army's transport convoy west of Pingling to cut off the Qin army's supplies.

Mi Xuan, who was in the Chinese army, didn't know much about the battle behind her, but since sunrise, she saw Qin soldiers lying on the snow, especially the place where the Qin army camped last night, and the number of corpses Qin who froze to death in the middle of the night was not very large. She used to think that war was bloody, but now she knows that war is so cold and stiff.

"Ahem..., why don't you sleep yet?" Knowing that the woman was stimulated today, Xiong Jing saw the woman sitting on the mat and pondering as soon as he entered the tent, so he asked.

"I've seen the king." Mi Xuan hurriedly got up, helped the man change his clothes, and went to bed soon after freshening up.

From today onwards, the daily march starts at dawn and camps at dusk, that is, at 6 a.m. and ends at 9 p.m. Counting the two quarters of an hour's lunch time and the time spent waiting for the five-mile baggage convoy behind us before setting up camp, the exact time of setting up camp was about half past ten. After the shogunate set up the tent, Xiong Jing had to summarize the situation of the day with the generals, and at the same time make arrangements for the second day, and it was already midnight when the account was returned.

The north wind was howling outside the tent, and there was a brazier inside the tent to warm up, and I still felt cold when I got into my bed. Since the tent was set up, Mi Xuan forgot to warm the bed.

"It's Xuan'er......" looked at each other in the bedclothes, and Mi Xuan felt that she was derelict in her duties.

"If you are a samurai, you should sleep in the open, how can you sleep and warm your tent?" Xiong Jing thinks differently from women. It was cold in his bedclothes, but he could still bear it. "Warm beds, brocade clothes and food, things that corrode people's hearts, don't mention it."

Unexpectedly, the man's thoughts were like this, and Mi Xuan kissed him, grateful that he didn't blame himself.

"Do you know what the military is?" Xiong Jing kissed her back, and he turned sideways, his hand pressed under the woman caressing her back.

"Yes." Mi Xuan nodded. "Yes, yes...... Xuan'er didn't remember it all. ”

The man said a lot of things today, and it also made her see a lot of things, but Mi Xuan felt that her brain was not enough, and she remembered some things, and some forgot them. After setting up the account, she recalled it again, and found a piece of Chu paper to record it briefly. Seeing the man ask, she got up and went to find the recorded Chu paper.

Finally, there was some warmth in the bedclothes, and the woman got up and disturbed it, Xiong Jing looked at the Chu paper handed by the woman and cried and laughed. He laughed, "I don't want you to remember, as long as you know what the military is." ”

"Don't need to remember?" Mi Xuan was surprised, she thought that the man would write it all down by himself.

"How to march, how to carry baggage, how to array, how to fight, all have the strategy of the general, you don't need it." Xiong Jing endured tiredness and said patiently. "You just have to know a little bit and then make a decision."

"Decided?" Mi Xuan read the word.

"Yes. Resolve. Xiong Jing nodded. The harm of using soldiers is the greatest hesitation. The disaster of the three armies was born of loneliness. Though the counsellors have a plan, you must make a decision. Even a wrong decision is better than hesitation. ”

"The wrong decision?" Mi Xuan is still puzzled, as a woman, it is difficult for her to understand this.

"If you are Wang Qian, in the middle of the night, you reprimanded the cavalry and reported that the Chu army was in the north of Linzi City, and was attacking your own army at night, and you must make a decision between fighting and leaving." Xiong Jing had no choice but to give examples, using the most recent example. "The Qin people's destruction of Qi was originally a division of troops, and the rescue of the three kingdoms of Chu, Zhao and Wei was a gathering of troops, and the division of troops against the gathering of troops. Although the soldiers of the coalition army are less than those of the Qin army, it is the best policy to go way.

However, war is not necessarily the next resort. Even if the coalition forces can defeat the Qin army, the coalition forces will also suffer heavy losses, and the only way to do this is to hesitate and hesitate. If you don't go, you won't survive; In the war, although the elite soldiers did not exist, the coalition army suffered countless casualties. If you don't fight or leave, the main general hesitates, the soldiers also hesitate, and the soldiers hesitate if they lack morale, and when they have to fight in the end, the array may be broken with one blow. There are no elite soldiers, and there are not too many casualties among the coalition forces, so it is the best policy. ”

"So ......" Thinking of the corpse of the Qin pawn lying on the ground along the road, this is the price of leaving, and Mi Xuan intuitively felt that he couldn't do it.

Seeing her shake her head slightly, Xiong Jing had to be serious: "You just need to remember: one, the soldier is just a number." The number can be arbitrarily lost, up to zero. What you have to do is to make the opponent lose the most and your own at the same time.

Second, tell yourself...... Xiong Jing grabbed the woman's hand, pressed her hand heavily on his heart, and said, "I ——, never make a mistake!" ”

"I ...... Never wrong? The woman hesitated, even more incomprehensible.

"Yes. Never go wrong. Xiong Jing nodded heavily. There is a mistake, and it is also the fault of my subordinates, not my fault; There is a mistake, and it is the fault of the whole world, not my fault. ”

"Why ......" Mi Xuan still wanted to ask, what she was thinking in her mind was 'if there is no encouragement, then change it', and 'I will save my body three times a day'.

"If you are the commander and the king, you will never be wrong. If you are a servant or a concubine, you will always be at fault. Just remember it and don't ask why. "Xiong Jing Dao." Also, in the future, you have to study hard every day, and don't be scared anymore. ”

As soon as she mentioned the mention of Fa Xuanxuan, she smiled embarrassedly, remembering the drill in the morning, she said: "The king can teach me with paper and pen, and I don't have to ......."

"There are some things that can't be written with pen and paper, you have to read and feel." Xiong Jing objected to her suggestion, and teaching by word and deed is incomparable to book education. "And thus teach you, not just for you,"

Xiong Jing was stunned again, and when she was about to ask the reason, Xiong Jing said, "You still have to teach this to your son." ”

"Son?" Mi Xuan suddenly remembered what Xiong Jing said about recovering the country yesterday, her expression suddenly froze, and then she hugged the man tighter, groped him, bit her lip and shouted in his ear: "I want it." I want ...... king."

The chill in the tent soon turned into spring, but in the military tent of the Qi army not far from Xiongjing's tent, the general Tian Zong still did not sleep, and under his forced gaze, the general in the tent was even colder.

Yesterday's Xiaoqian marched to dusk, and today's Danming march to dusk, and it was difficult for the Qi army to withstand such a high-intensity march. 'Spring Zhen Brigade to search, summer Bashe to collect, autumn to govern the army to win, winter to hunt', Qi army or according to the ancient rule of law army, winter is mainly a big reading, after the big reading should be hunting, the beast has no choice. But people multiply, and there is no forest in Qi that can allow hundreds of thousands of people to hunt at the same time, and the armies of each capital will disperse after the big parade.

Lack of training is a big reason, and more often than not, it is a lack of equipment. Most of the Qi soldiers were poor, few had wool robes, and the fur of sheep and dogs was also shabby, and the fur that had not been removed and tanned was to emit a foul smell. Most people wear a large brown coat, and they wear a short brown coat at most, and then there are no more inside.

There are no exquisite leather boots like the Chu army, Zhao army, and Wei army, and some soldiers with cloth shoes also wear straw shoes - cloth shoes are not durable and expensive, and a pair of dozens of dollars is only worn during the big reading. Grass shoes can be beaten by themselves, so they are worn when marching. There is no thick foot clothing like the Chu army, all barefoot. After walking more than 130 miles in one day, many soldiers suffered from frostbite on their feet.

This matter was not mentioned in the discussion of the Great Curtain Army just now, but now the Qi army has a private meeting by itself, and the various armies quickly reported the number of casualties. The attrition was very severe, with all the numbers adding up to more than ten percent. You must know that this is a pursuit, driving the Qin people to run, and the morale of the various armies is very strong.

"In this way, in three days, our army will have a maximum of 200,000 men." The charcoal fire in the brazier crackled from time to time, and the silence was like a piece of ice pressing on the hearts of the generals. The military advisor Mu Chong spoke, and his judgment was objective and cold.

This is still in the figures under self-heating rations. It is impossible for a soldier to have hot water for washing every day, a warm bed, and a hot brazier as the general. They lay in a small black curtain at night, and five people huddled together, warming each other with their body temperatures.

In cold weather, having hot food for three meals a day is almost lifesaving. If there is a copper kettle like Chu Jun when the rice is hot, the copper kettle can also be hot water when placed on the rations. If you don't have a copper kettle, dig a small soil pit, put in a military ration and sprinkle an appropriate amount of ice and snow, and the soldiers will sit around it, and you can burn your feet after the water is hot. The water was very dirty, but the water was hot, and the feet were the most tired after a day of marching, and they quickly slept after scalding and picking up blisters.

"The most wounded are foot wounds, if our army also has the kind of leather boots of the Chu army......" Tian Gu said about the leather boots. Xiong Jing took Mi Xuan to inspect the Qi army, and he secretly went to see the Chu army. Chu Jun impressed him the most about the leather boots, the kind of high leather boots stepping on the ice and snow, the sound of 'clicking', sounded deafening, and it was completely different from the Qi army.

"Chu army leather boots are being produced in my Qi country." Shi Yi reminded. He also knew where these leather boots were made. "Bochang and other cities are making boots, and the cow leather of boots is transported from Yandi Sai, and it is said that more than 200,000 pairs of boots are made a year."

"A pair a year?" The generals who heard it for the first time were taken aback.

"Definitely, two pairs a year." Mu Chong understood more clearly, after all, he and Xiong Jing marched all the way. "A pair was purchased in Xizhou, transported to Chu by sea boat, and Bochang's boots are imitations of Xizhou." He immediately corrected the topic and said, "Three days later, there are only 200,000 people left in our army, and at that time they are already in Fanyi, Dongjun. ”

According to the judgment of the shogunate's strategists, yesterday the Qin army stayed in Pingling, and the coalition army stayed in Yuling; Today, the Qin army lives in Lixia, and the coalition army lives in Baoyi; Tomorrow, the Qin army will stay in Luyi, and the coalition army will stay in Qingyi. The two armies will arrive at the border after tomorrow, the Qin army will stay in Xueling, and the coalition army will stay in Huyi. For another day, the Qin army stayed in Fanyi (now Fanxian County), and the coalition army stayed in the north of Fanyi; Again, the Qin army stayed in Puyang, and the coalition army reached its own limit, and could not capture grain and dry firewood, so they could only withdraw the army.

"The meaning of the military advisor, it is better for our army to stop at the hub?" Tian Gu asked. "Can't go deep into the Qin realm?"

"My intention, the Chu army will go deep into the Qin realm, but what about our army?" Mu Chong shook his head. Of course, he also wanted to annihilate Wang Jian completely, but if the Qi army was seriously reduced, this idea might come to naught. And the military power is different, the Qi army has the consideration of the Qi army, the Chu army has the consideration of the Chu army, after arriving at Hubyi the day after tomorrow, the Qi army is about more than 200,000 people, at this time the soldiers are tired, and there is no motivation to chase again.

"The Chu people drove into the Qin realm, and they borrowed our army to destroy Qin, and the Zhao people restored the country." Tian Luo Dao. "If the Qin State dies, the Qi State is in danger."

The checks and balances between the states, especially between Qin and Chu, are the most beneficial to Qi countries, which is also the reason why the doctors of the Zheng Dynasty are moving left and right and facing Qin and Chu. The Chu people are indeed better than the Qin people, but if the world is all owned by the Chu State, the Qi State will not be much better.

"If Wang Qian's army is not destroyed, he will attack me again in the future, and the country of Qi will perish." Mu Chong no longer persuaded him on this matter, and he was expressionless.

"After this battle, the Chu army will definitely attack Qin, why should the Qin people attack me again?" Tian Luo looked at Mu Chong and felt that he had really been bribed by the Chu people, and he had ulterior motives. "Last autumn and winter, the Chu army was attacking Hanzhong, and only by pulling out Hanzhong could Bashu be obtained; Only by getting Bashu can we consolidate Ji Ying. The Qin people attacked me while I was unprepared, and now I am prepared, and the Chu army is attacking Qin again, why should Qin attack me again? ”

"I heard that the military advisor received a huge amount of money from the Chu people." The voice of the yin measurement, the proper words of the heart.

"Hehe... Haha......" Mu Chong was surprised at first, and then laughed after looking around at the generals. After laughing, he said, "The horses of the Mu breed enter Chu, and the horses return to Qi, where is the huge money of the Chu people?" And I begged the Chu people, when I gave the Chu people a huge amount of money, why did the Chu people bribe me with a huge amount of money? ”

Tian Xuan, who was refusing to be refuted, was speechless, and he said again: "Wei Xuan is my junior brother, Mr. Zizhong's high foot. His plan was clearly to bend around the straight, to overcome the rigid with softness, to win the battle for the city of Dingkou, not to defeat the Chu army. The Chu people attacked Qin, and the Qin army wanted to attack me even more, and after destroying Qi, eight of the world's Dingkou were in Qin, and the second was in Chu, how could the Chu people win? ”
