Digging trenches to prevent artillery strikes was no secret to the Great Sima Operations Division and the Chu Shogunate, but the Qin army never thought of this very simple method. Listening to the watchman saying that the Qin people were also baking frozen soil, Zhuang Wudi was the same as Xiongjing, and he instantly understood the intentions of the Qin people. Fortunately, it was winter, and the trenches that could hide from the artillery would not be completed in a while.

The Sand Sea camp is surrounded by water, and the place where the Qin army lined up was a pool of water before it was frozen, and there was no trench outside the Sand Sea camp, otherwise the Qin army could hide in the wide trench around the barracks to avoid artillery. Even so, Zhuang Wudi was sweating on his vest, for fear that there was something else that he and the strategists had missed.

It was a cloudy day, and the rising sun was obscured by thick clouds, and I didn't feel the slightest heat. The north wind is not strong, and under the severe cold, the wind is the main factor of frostbite in the human body, so the coalition generals told not to expose their skin in the wind. In such weather, this battle of more than 600,000 people is not a fight for the dead, but a fire and digging for each other.

In the face of such a spectacle, the generals on both sides were not impatient. Xiong Jing didn't even urge, he sat on the ground and waited peacefully; Wang Jian played alone, playing two roles, and entertained himself alone. Most of the rest of the soldiers sat on the snow waiting for the final battle, and only then did the uneasiness and longing in the hearts of the soldiers gradually manifest themselves.

The war was only five years in the records of the generals leading the Great Sima Mansion and the General leading the Shogunate, but it seems to have been more than ten years in the memory of the veterans of the Chu army. The impatient Chu people were disgusted with a long war with no end in sight, and they usually hoped to end a war with one or several battles. This was possible in the Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States Period, but with the completion of the mobilization mechanism of various countries, all major wars lasted for many years.

When the seal was opened, the generals of each division led to say to the soldiers that this was the last battle, and the word 'last' alone made these veterans who had survived the Battle of Qingshui secretly relieved. During this final wait, many people talked about the past, such as which year, month, city, and battle, and how I was. There were also people crying, the youngest Zhao pawn sat numbly in the military formation, and some people couldn't help crying, but they were quickly taught a lesson by the old pawn.

Because they accompanied the Qi army all the way, after three days of emergency training, Liu Bang and Lu Xuan, who had read books and recognized some words, became the company commanders of the Qi army. Qi pawns were inspired by the righteousness of saving Qi and saving the world, but the entertainment of Qi people is everywhere, even if it will be a life-and-death struggle soon, they can't help but play Liubo.

Lu Juan wanted to stop it, but seeing that Liu Bang didn't stop it but went deep into it, he had to give up. Gao Qin, the marshal of the Five Towns, and others also wanted to stop it, but seeing that the head of the Chu army was having fun with Qi Xuan, he said something, and several Qi generals also gave up like Lu Juan.

The psychology of these people is completely different from the psychology of the Chu generals. The successive victories made the generals of the Chu army deeply contempt the Qin army, and the Qi army was defeated by the Qin army several times, and Gao Qin and others instinctively feared the Qin army. This is especially true in terms of numbers, plus more than 10,000 Shangjia people, the coalition army is only 180,000, and the number of Qin troops directly exceeds 400,000 to reach 500,000, even if such a decisive battle can be won, the soldiers will suffer heavy casualties. What several generals thought in their hearts was: it is true that the soldiers should be happy before the battle, even if it is a short time.

"Kill the owl! Kill the owl! Kill the ...... of the owl" did not stop the general, the company commander and the soldiers had fun again, and Liu Bang's pawn shouted around the Liubo chessboard full of money and silver. There are 12 chess pieces, black and white in half, and the six chess pieces can have one chess piece and five loose chess, so as to roll the chopsticks or throw the dice. The so-called 'the winner will kill the owl', and the victory or defeat is based on the chess that kills the opponent.

Liu Bang is skillful, every time he throws the dice, he has to beat the opponent, and the chess pieces will take one more step, and soon approach the opponent's chess. As long as the dice roll another three, or two, the chess will definitely kill. Most of the Qi pawns bet on the old bloggers in the company, but they didn't expect the Chu company commander to be good at this, and he wanted to kill the owl after a few games. The faces of the soldiers who bet gradually changed, and the soldiers who did not bet were not afraid of big things when they saw the excitement, and shouted to kill the owl while laughing, and they usually lost money to the old player.

Liu Bang had a smile on his face, but he kept scolding his mother in his heart. He didn't expect Qi Ren to be so good at gambling (in fact, Qi Ren was too rich), and there was more money and silver on the chessboard than the money he had seen in his life combined. He can make a lot of money if he wins, but the team will definitely not be easy to lead in the future; He deliberately lost, but he couldn't see that it was okay, and he would definitely be scolded for being a mediocre man in the future.

Liu Bang held the dice and stared at the old blogger opposite, urging him to roll the dice to kill the devil more and more urgently. When he was about to throw a handful, the military order suddenly appeared: "Da Ao has a life, eat immediately." Da Ao has an order, eat immediately......"

"The king has a life," Liu Bang jumped up, and at this time, I don't know who bumped it, and the chessboard supported by several heads was upside down on the ground, and the chess pieces were scattered on the ground. Seeing this, Liu Bang immediately said: "After the game, we will play again, and we will eat immediately." ”

It's midday, it's the hottest time of the day, but the sun doesn't warm it either. After the horsemen of the herald had run, the army formation of more than 3,000 columns began to self-heat the military rations. Xiong Jing didn't have much appetite, and although the nest car told the Qin people that the ditch digging was slow, the Qin people were indeed digging a ditch.

The variable brought by digging a ditch is that the Qin cavalry will no longer attack the artillery array, and can comprehensively suppress the seven thousand knights of the Chu army who are really engaged in battle, and hook the flank and back of their own infantry formation. He believed that the military formations of the two armies of Zhao and Wei could hold up, and he was very worried that the military formations of the Qi army would not be able to hold on, even if their arrays were as thick as fifty lines.

In this case, the only one who can be relied on is Youque. The Chu army rarely arranged a group of You Que: four Ying divisions plus the five divisions of Nanjun led by Dou Ya, and more than 10,000 Qi City soldiers - will lead all the opponents of the city to participate in the battle, but Qu Guang has promised to allow them to participate in the war, so they can only be arranged as You Que in the rear of the army formation to protect the flank of the army.

It was the honor of the people of the country to become a soldier and participate in the battle, but after entering the Warring States period, when the common people were tired of hiding due to the frequent conquests, the merchants of the city were excited to receive this honor. Since then, they have gotten rid of their lowly status since the Western Zhou Dynasty, and they no longer need to look up to ordinary people.

"Yu Da Ao, the embankment will be completed, and the embankment can be broken when the small move is made." The engineer officer came from the east embankment of the gutter to give a message, and there was still half an hour.

"Hurry." Xiong Jing looked up at the sky, and the sun was overhead. If the two armies started a war during Xiaoqian, according to his idea of ending the battle before dark, the Chu army would only have three hours to end the battle.

"Yui." The servant agreed, saluted, turned and ran back. At this time, all the artillery was lined up on the west side of the ditch river, and looking at these artillery, Xiong Jing suddenly had a hallucination: the thick ice and snow of the river suddenly collapsed, and all the artillery fell to the bottom of the icy ditch.

"Da Ao?" Zhuang Wudi didn't know why Xiong Jing lost his mind. There is still more than half an hour to blow up the embankment, and now the foot soldiers should enter the river.

"Yes." Xiong Jing's gaze withdrew from the Yin Ditch River, and when he heard the words, he ordered: "The whole army advances!" ”

After more than four hours of waiting, at noon the somewhat chaotic array of the coalition forces was once again in order, and the divisions and brigades followed the flags of their own formations and walked in unison onto the embankment more than a foot high, and then poured down from the embankment like a waterfall. In the eyes of the Qin pawn on the high platform opposite, in the flying snow and dust, the Chu army's military formation was like a bright and unfolded fresh silk sliding into the gutter river, and then stood still.

Wang Jian didn't wait for the scouts to report it, and only knew from the snow and dust raised in the west that the Chu army was advancing, and the entire army formation had entered the gutter nine times out of ten to stand by. As soon as the potion blows up the eastern embankment, the weapons lined up in front of the array will be aimed at your own army. After five years of fierce warfare, the tactics of the Chu army The Qin army knew very well that the world-destroying witch medicine and invincible witch weapons made no army dare to attack it directly.

Before all the snow and dust had fallen, Wang Jian ordered more than 600 crossbows and more than 400 trebuchets arranged at the forefront to retreat urgently, and the front army protecting these crossbows and trebuchets also retreated. They had to be at least 700 paces away from the east embankment of the gutter to avoid the blows of the iron bullets fired by the enemy's witch weapons.

The infantry was urgently retreating, and before the ditch was dug was completed, the 15,000 cavalry led by Yu Fen slowly entered the battlefield and lined up in front of the front army. When he rode a sweaty horse, he swept past the front army's formation, and for some reason suddenly pointed at Bai Lin. Bai Lin naturally knew what was going on in his heart, and he forced himself to calm down even if he left and right. He can't tell anyone that he and Yu Fen had a feud twelve years ago, right? Who would have thought that a small hairpin would actually become a cavalry general leading 40,000 cavalry.

Su Fu knew about this grievance, and he said: "This person is rude to the general, and he will be a ...... one day."

"What the hell?" Bai Lin's smile was even more bitter, he and Yu Fen and even the 500,000 Qin army were on the verge of life and death, what if Yu Fen wanted to take revenge? If you want to take revenge, you have to have both of them alive, and he said melancholy: "Settle today before you can talk about other days." Tell the whole army, turn around! ”

"Ready! The ...... has been prepared" in the gutter river, and one team after another of the workers showed their flags to indicate that they were ready. Xiong Jing was worried that there was not enough time, and the battle would drag on until sunset, but seeing that there was no delay, he directly asked the flag man to give the order to detonate.

'......Boom, ......boom, boom, boom...... explosions erupted one after another, and the soldiers who dug the embankment became witches, and they performed a grand witchcraft in front of 180,000 allied soldiers. One after another burst out of the ground, the sky cracked, and the dust covered the sky. Looking at this unnatural power, even the old soldier of the Chu Army who wanted to shout long live couldn't help but tremble all over, and subconsciously prayed.

Before the soldiers could ignite the gunpowder, the Qin army turned around, mainly because they were worried that the soldiers would be unnecessarily panicked when they saw the huge explosion rising from the earthen embankment. For most Qin pawns, the violent explosion was just a violent vibration under their feet, followed by a wave of qi coming from behind. No one knew what was happening behind them, and when they turned around again, the broken earth embankment revealed a gap in the unsettled dust.
