Including the cavalry of the two armies, the entire battle line stretched for more than ten miles, and the snow and dust trampled on by the war horse foot soldiers were blown by the north wind, from the left flank of the Chu army to the southernmost right flank. The farther south he went, the more obscured the snow and dust became, so that the already narrow vision of the Chinese army and the right sergeant could not see the Qin army on the opposite side clearly, and they could only see the silhouette of the sergeant and the military formation in front of them.

The battlefield seemed a little hazy, but the shouts of the soldiers were extremely real. The left army and the right army each had four spear formations rushing for spears, and the shouts of the spears were very familiar. The Qi pawns of the Chinese army were not cowardly, Jimo was a land of abundance, and the well-nourished Qi pawns retreated as soon as they fought; The Wei army was in the front and fighting in the rear. The warriors in huge armor were more brave than the Qi pawns, and the spears stabbed again and again, and the Qin pawns fell row after row; On the contrary, the Zhao army, who had lost the country, was more than strong and insufficient, and the array lagged behind the two armies.

Xiong Jing was originally most worried about the Chinese army, especially the collapse of the Qi army, and he was slightly surprised that the Qi army could have such combat effectiveness. He didn't have time to think about how the Qi army seemed to have changed an army, and the only thing he could be sure of was that the infantry of the coalition army was pressing the Qin army. The Qin army formation in front of him is crumbling, and it is believed that it will soon be replenished from the rear.

The cavalry of the Chu army was working both sides of the army formation to resist the Qin cavalry with a numerical advantage; The Chu army's artillery defeated the Qin army's elastic trebuchet - due to the obstruction of snow and dust, Xiong Jing could not see the Qin army array east of the battle line, but the lookout on the nest car told that the thunder bombs had arrived, and the soldiers around the trebuchet were all defeated. The facts have also confirmed this, compared with the original dense fire oil bombs, the fire oil bombs that now fell on the heads of the Chu army are sparse and greatly reduced, and their power cannot be compared with the last battle.

Although the number was smaller, the coalition forces had an absolute advantage, and the Qin army was retreating. The most important thing is that the rhythm of the decisive battle was grasped by the coalition forces. Of course, this is a rather subtle feeling, maybe psychological, maybe it's the rhythm of the attack, but according to the current feeling and rhythm, as long as the Chu cavalry blocks the Qin cavalry for another hour, Xiong Jing believes that the coalition army will win.

The sky was overcast and the sun was already setting in the west. In the early spring, the sun will set, and the real decisive battle will begin after the small migration, close to the feeding time. It is now the fourth quarter of the hour (one hundred quarters of the day and night, and the average of the sixteen hours is 6.25 quarters per hour, so that the number of quarters is different in each hour, and it only rotates once every four hours), which means that fifty and four minutes have passed. There are still 219.6 minutes left before the sun sets. Combined with the time at the end of the winter twilight, I have a maximum of two hundred and forty minutes, and four hours in the afterlife.

In four hours, it will be completely dark. In the bitterly cold climate, even if it is not dark, the temperature is dropping from minus 24 or 5 degrees Celsius, the highest at noon, to 26 or 7 degrees now. When the sun sets, the temperature will inevitably drop to minus thirty degrees, which is a very dangerous temperature considering the physical exertion of the Chu army during the battle.

On the west side of the battle line, although the Qin army in front of Xiong Jing was tenacious, it had to retreat step by step, and the coalition army was trampling on the wounded and corpses of the Qin people. He was worried about time, hoping to break through the Qin army's five arrays before dark and end this battle;

On the east side of the battle line, the former general Bai Lin was almost crazy. His army's more than 20 lines were crumbling, and the reserves of 10,000 people in his hands were all used up - in view of the characteristics of the Chu army's charging spears, the Qin army also developed a supplementary formation tactic. Since the spear array is sixty columns wide, it is specifically for these sixty columns to supplement the formation. If there are eight phalanxes rushing to the spear, then aim at these eight sixty columns, that is, four hundred and eighty columns. Four hundred and eighty columns were supplemented in one hundred rows, and there were only forty-eight thousand men.

However, it was not only the eight spear formations that attacked, but also the advance of more than 1,000 columns of the coalition army. These more than 1,000 columns of Bailin had no way to make up the formation, so they could only let the captain sit on the chariot and constantly patrol and shout behind the formation, ordering the soldiers not to retreat. The more tragic disaster was not the Chinese army, after basically suppressing the Qin army's trebuchet, two short-barreled cannons lowered their muzzles and fired at the Qin army's array in the gap between the phalanxes. The distance of one hundred and twenty steps was no more than five or six hundred steps before, and as soon as there was a 'boom', the Qin army array burst open a flesh and blood trench, and with another shot, it was another flesh and blood trench.

Su Fu, who was in charge of the right army, also went crazy, he rode his horse to Bai Lin and shouted with tears in his eyes: "If the Jingren witch weapon hits me, our army will be defeated!" ”

Du Lieutenant, Lieutenant, Qu Hou, 2500 Lords, and 500 Lords were all pressed behind the formation, but the power of the artillery was not resistible to the human body, and Su Fu behind the formation also broke a hand. The benefits of severe cold are not only to stop bleeding, but also to relieve pain. Su Fu just ran casually, anxiously pleading. Bai Lin didn't see that he had a broken hand, and he subconsciously shouted, "What can I do?!" How can I?! I can't stop people from witching weapons. You can't take a step back......"

"General, general, the shogunate once said that if the Jing people hit me with a witch weapon, I can avoid it." Bai Lin also has a shogunate, but this shogunate is not a complete shogunate, and there are only a dozen or twenty people he has collected. At this time, the person who spoke was the exiled Yu Yu Dang Chang cunning, and his words reminded Bai Lin that the shogunate did have such a decision: that is, when the witch weapon hits, the array can be avoided on both sides, and if the Chu soldiers see this rushing, the evading soldiers should quickly make up the formation.

"Yes, yes! Avoid, quickly avoid, if the Jing people rush, the soldiers who avoid should quickly make up the formation. Bai Lin said excitedly, and only then did he see that Su Fu had lost a hand.

"A certain general will be respectfully ordered." Su Fu, who had broken a hand, turned quickly and carried him to the right army.

"Put!" One hundred and twenty steps away, pushing away the horse corpses in the shooting range, the Chu army artillery kept shouting and firing. They were bombarding a sixty-column wide Qin army formation, and the spear array that was rushing on one side had stopped charging at this time, just waiting to break through the Qin army formation from this gap. Unfortunately, for fear of accidentally injuring their own soldiers, the artillery soldiers could not use shotguns or lightning bullets, but could only use solid bullets with a dozen blood grooves. After more than a dozen artillery pieces, the 60 columns of the army array penetrated seven or eight columns vertically, far from being able to break through the entire army formation.

During the shelling, what was surprising was the reaction of the Qin army. The artillery pawn felt that he was bombarding a bunch of scarecrows, and the Qin pawn who was bombarded did not react. They did not dodge, nor did they flee, nor did they even subconsciously block them, but they stood upright, allowing the cannonballs to fly through the formation, breaking the hands, feet, and bodies of one or half columns of soldiers.

The artillery soldiers one hundred and twenty steps away couldn't see clearly, but the Tang Division's spear array thirty paces away on the side could see clearly. Qin Jun was already frightened, they didn't know to be afraid, they forgot to be afraid, because everyone's bodies were trembling instinctively. Ruo Ao, who led the Tang Division, saw the fear of the Qin people, which was so afraid that they did not dare to resist. After another cannonball, he asked the standard-bearer to wave the flag at the artillerymen to stop firing, and then ordered the Tang soldiers to charge into battle, and the ordered Tang soldiers held their spears high and shouted and rushed towards the trembling Qin soldiers.

There are many former sergeants and soldiers, and under the May Day Killing Order, none of these soldiers who are waiting for the crime dare to run. The artillery bombardment was tantamount to another May Day smash, and the soldiers were trembling while waiting for their fate. The Chu army's foot soldiers rushed in front of them, and they realized that the smash was over, and the battle began again.

It's a pity that the battle was too late at this time, aiming at the array that was pierced by artillery, the Chu army's foot soldiers rushed into the formation and no longer retreated, and went deep into the array. The Qin soldiers at the back of the queue instinctively blocked the enemy's way, and the result was that the two soldiers were no longer spears and spears, and no longer spears were facing spears, and the spear formations of the Chu army were deeply wedged into the Qin army's formation, and the bodies of the soldiers on both sides were close to each other.

The stab suddenly turned into a wrestling. Although the Chu soldiers were short, once the military formation of sixty lines was coordinated and forced, it could not be blocked by a dozen marching formations, and in the shouts of the soldiers, the Qin soldiers of the last ten lines fell to the ground powerlessly in the violent pushing.

"Jing people break the formation! Jing people break the formation! Someone shouted from behind. There are no reserves, and the only remaining short soldiers in his hands will swarm in. The Chu soldier pushed the last dozen lines of Qin pawns to it, and he fell down with Qin pawns when he used too much force. More than a thousand short soldiers did not have a spear but only a short sword, but this did not prevent them from lining up another military formation in front of the Chu army.

The array of Qin troops on the side who were not charged with spears was also urgently mobilized under the order of Qu Hou, and the soldiers in the second half moved quickly and lined up behind the short soldiers. In a short period of time, the Qin army blocked the gap that appeared, and the Chu army's spear array wedged into the enemy formation could not move, and could only retreat step by step under the angry order of Ruo Ao alone, but the dozens of soldiers wedged into the front of the Qin formation did not withdraw.

"Fire!" After the spear array gave way to position, Ruo Ao Duxing personally shouted and waved the flag to the artillery guards in the rear. With a 'boom', the cannon rang out again, the cannonballs pierced the entire queue, and the Qin soldiers who were scuffling in the formation were shocked, and the dozen or so Chu soldiers who were squeezed in the crowd and beaten on the ground took the opportunity to escape.

"Put!" There were also Chu soldiers in the formation, and for a while, the artillery commander did not dare to fire again, so he could only obey the orders of the foot soldiers. Seeing Ruo Ao waving the flag again, the artillery let out another roar. This time, more than a dozen Chu pawns escaped from the Qin army's array. Seeing their embarrassed appearance, Ruo Ao was even angrier when he walked alone, and he shouted: "Grenade, grenade!" Still grenade! ”

In the severe cold weather, half of the grenades did not explode, but in order to save people, Ruo Ao couldn't manage it alone, a large number of grenades still went in, crackling, as long as they could still move, all the Chu pawns struggled to crawl out.

"Put!" Ruo Ao, who was still not satisfied, ordered the flag to wave again, and the artilleryman fired again. After a cannon, the Chu pawn was never seen out, and when Ruo Ao was going to wave the flag alone, several wounded pawns and the corpses of the Chu army were also passed out by the Qin pawn.

"Yongfu also!" The Qin army was so afraid that Ruo Ao Duxing scolded with hatred, and then let people carry these Chu soldiers who were either injured or killed. Just when Qin was worried that he would wave the flag again and order the artillery to open fire, the commander in his hand pointed to the position where the Tang division had charged the spear before, and ordered the Tang division to charge the spear.
