Fusu looked at Xiong Jing a mile away, but Xiong Jing thought that he had a pair of eyes that were very familiar when he inspected the rightmost end of the military formation just now. With an iron coat, and inside the iron crest, there is only an eye-revealing first coat, and people can only see their eyes, but just with these eyes, he still feels something strange. I didn't think it at the time, but now that I think about it, those eyes are very similar to my younger brother Xiong Qiang.

He laughed at the thought of this. This is impossible, the guards knights 'escorted' Xiong Han has been 'escorted' to Xinying, and they also went to drink a meal of wine with the newly married Zhuang before returning to Kaifeng. My younger brother is already in Xinying, how can he appear on the battlefield?

Before Xiong Jing's thought was pressed, Lu Yangyan, who was holding the flag, let out a low shout, and the knight who was guarding the inside suddenly ran from the inside to the outside. Lu Yangyan said: "The Qin army is here, please return to the shogunate." ”

The width of the left and right armies of the Chu army is 960 columns, and only half of these 960 columns are real, which is a spear formation; There is also half of it that is imaginary, which is the interval between the spear arrays. There was only a thin array of more than five hundred archers in the interval, and they formed a spear array about ten rows deep, sealing the gap between the sixty columns of the spear array. As long as Xiong Jing wanted, he could go around to the rear of the army from any vacancy. This is what Lu Yangyan said.

"Not necessarily!" Xiong Jing looked at the Chinese army array not far away, shook his head and whipped his head. The artillery of the Chu army was not arranged in front of the Chinese army's formation, but only in front of the spear formation of the left and right armies, and as long as he rushed to the position of the Chinese army, he would not block his own artillery from firing.

Xiong Jing accelerated, and the Guards Knight followed. At this time, on his left side, was the cavalry formation of the Qin army swept like a tidal wave; On his right side were the somewhat flustered Chu army artillerymen. Through the experience of the Battle of the Chasm, Yu Fen grasped the most precious opportunity, while the Chu artillerymen were not prepared for this encounter, and the Qin cavalry had already rushed in, but some of the artillery had not yet been released.

Xiong Jing rushed to the Chinese army only 200 meters, twelve or three seconds is enough; The Qin cavalry rushed to the artillery array from more than 500 paces away, because it was a Qin horse, and the impact took sixty seconds. Coupled with the chariot array, the rejection of horses, and the huge wire net tied to it, it was necessary for more than ten rows of cavalry in front to drown these obstacles, and the cavalry behind could rush into the artillery array and slash. With the interval between the front and back of the riding formation, the time will not exceed one and a half minutes.

The time for the artillery to block the fire was very short, but in the face of the decisive charge of the Qin cavalry, the artillery still reloaded and fired at the fastest speed. In this battle, the coalition army and the Qin army's army confronted each other from east to west, and the dense gunpowder smoke was blown due south by the north wind. Standing in front of the Chinese army that was not impacted, through the smoke of gunpowder blowing from the south, Xiong Jing dimly saw those Qin cavalry rushing towards him.

The dull and chaotic sound of hooves, the earth trembled so much that even the air was shaking. The Qin cavalry got closer and closer, and the waves shattered in the air or crashed into the chariot array in front of the artillery. The cannons did not stop, the waves did not stop, they were constantly broken and surging violently. The front of the chariot array was finally submerged by them, and the rejecting horses behind the chariot array were also submerged by them, and finally some cavalry rushed through the submerged chariot array, rushed through the submerged rejecting horses, and rushed straight to the artillery array.

"Put!" The gunner's silent shout was like the scraping of metal. The fire reappeared, and the flames spewed out from the muzzle of the sixty-eight-pound cannon burned everything around him, and in the midst of the shotguns, the rushing Qin cavalry was covered in blood. The horses continued to gallop forward while they were still in the best of their postures, but they fell abruptly in front of the muzzles of the guns.

This is the last shot of the gunner, and it is too late to reload. The spear array behind the artillery array visually measured the distance of the Qin cavalry, and when the cannon sound sounded in front, the soldier had already raised his spear and stepped forward. As soon as the Qin cavalry, who had dodged the last shotgun, rushed closer, they crashed into the spear stretched diagonally in their station, and the 'snapping' sound of the spear breaking was endless. The cavalry rushed forward too violently, and some flew directly into the spear array, but were strung up by a dozen or twenty spears; More cavalry chose to rein in front of the spear formation—the cavalry could go forward to attack the artillery formation, but it was impossible to go forward to attack the infantry formation in a neat line and armed with spears.

The horsemen turned around and galloped to the sides, exiting the battlefield of the battle. Behind them, the 100,000 Qin army was rushing with shouts. The distance of more than 500 paces takes one and a half minutes for the cavalry to attack, and the minimum time for the infantry to impact is four minutes, with a two-minute time difference in between. In the past two minutes, the soldiers behind the spear formation rushed up to send new Yi spears, and the spear formation began to do the kind of diagonal line that Ruo Ao suggested alone—not a straight line to meet the rushing Qin army, but the entire left army, the entire right army, advanced diagonally in the same direction, giving way to the cannon muzzle behind them.

There are sixty columns of spear arrays, and the gap between spear arrays and spear arrays is also sixty columns. Within two minutes, the Chu army could run 200 paces in great stride, but because the diagonal 60 columns gave way to the muzzle, the distance of the entire spear formation was only 120 paces. The movements of the left army and the right army were uniform, and this uniform action made it almost imperceptible to the Qin army.

The attention of the Qin people was more attracted by the spear array and the arrows flying from both sides of the spear array. 10,000 sets of cloth armor can only arm three lines of Qin soldiers, and the remaining more than 20 lines of Qin soldiers only have brown leather armor that has not even been painted. Leather armor has no problem resisting light arrows from a distance, but it cannot resist heavy armor-piercing arrows within seventy steps. For this reason, the leather-clad soldiers had to put a round shield three feet in diameter on their left arm, as the Macedonian phalanx soldiers did. Arrows came from the sky, and they raised their shields as they lunged forward.

Inevitably, the arrows still hit the unobscured shields, some screamed, some fell to the ground, and some were killed. After losing tens of thousands of soldiers under the blow of arrows, the arrays of the two armies finally collided fiercely. The armor of the soldiers in the front row of the Chu army was stabbed by the chieftain spear, making a piercing sharp sound; The cloth armor of the soldiers in the front row of the Qin army was directly pierced by the spear, and under the temperature of dripping water into ice, the blood was viscous like a pink ribbon, and the body of the Qin soldier was pulled out when the spear was drawn.

No one cared about the life or death of the Qin soldiers in the front row, and the soldiers in the back row snatched the black spear in their hands according to the military order before they fell; After the Chu soldiers withstood the Qin army's formation, those spear formations that had been determined to charge their spears in advance slowly retreated. They retreated and the Qin army followed closely, but the bending of the horizontal formation had a certain limit, when the horizontal formation was about to break because of the bending, the Qin soldiers could only watch the Chu army's spear formation retreat to thirty steps away, and the infantry in the front row raised their spears over the top to prepare to rush the spears, they could only hold on to the round shield in their hands, in order to block the enemy's blow that could penetrate the wall.

"Shoot!" In the final battle, the crossbow general Han Shen also personally entered the battle array, and he shouted at the trebuchet array that had advanced to a hundred and fifty steps away from the Chu army's spear array. Seventy steps in front of him is the second formation of the Qiang, and eighty steps in front of the second formation of the Qiang is the front army formation that is engaged with the Chu army.

The flags were flying, and more than 400 trebuchets lined up threw fire oil bombs one after another. According to the experience of the last battle, in order not to injure your own army by mistake and to prevent the Chu army from breaking the formation, the best targets for trebuchets are those spear formations that retreat and charge their spears. More than 400 fire oil bombs crossed the arrays of the two armies and landed around the four spear formations of the two armies on the left and right of the Chu army. The vast majority of the fire oil bombs missed, and only a few hit.

It's a pity that the severe cold not only froze the blood, but also froze the fire oil in the pottery urn, the fire oil bomb did not fall to the ground like before, it was like a lit candle, and it fell on the snow when it hit the foot soldiers, and soon the Chu army foot soldiers kicked out of the spear formation, and there were no casualties. Han Shen, who was standing on a high place, panicked when he saw this scene, he jumped off the high platform and smashed open a fire oil bomb himself, only then did he know that all the fire oil in it was frozen.

Han Shen's action of jumping off the high platform saved his life, and during the period when the two armies exchanged troops and the Qin army's trebuchet advanced and launched, the Chu army's artillery completely cleaned up the artillery array, and the artillery commander shouted one after another 'target catapult, one thunderbolt test shot, and one millimeter of signal management'. With a hoarse shout, 'Boom ......', a thunderbolt that had never been seen on the battlefield flew out of the chamber of the cannon in the flames and shot at the trebuchet two hundred and seventy paces away.

All of the Chu artillery shells were flat or close to flat fire, and this shelling was unlike any before, the disemboweling shells flew high over the two armies in battle, over the array of the Qiang Army, and finally fell on the trebuchets lined up.

The artillery array that had been charged by the Qin cavalry had been fired intensively again, which had frightened the Qin generals, indicating that the cavalry charge had completely failed. The shells that were fired flew into the sky, and as they gazed at them, the 'bang, bang...... the shells that had not landed, landed, landed, and bounced again exploded violently, and countless shrapnel exploded in the firelight. Seeing this, the Qin pawns around the trebuchet were so frightened that they screamed and ran away. Wang Qian, who was standing on the car, saw this scene and his brain was suddenly paralyzed, and he fell headlong.

It's the first time I've seen a witch bullet that explodes in the air. To be sure, this fireworks-like weapon of later generations was a sight to behold, if not colorful, but it was also so terrifying that people could see shrapnel exploding in the air. When the soldiers around the trebuchet under the cannonball abandoned the formation and fled for their lives, they realized that Wang Jian was missing.

"General, general, general......" The shogunate priest rushed urgently, and Liu Chi, Lao Cheng's confidant, not only strictly forbade the news of Wang Jian from falling, but also asked a short soldier of similar age and body shape to Wang Jian to wear Wang Qian's leather armor and stand on the car and pretend to be Wang Qian. Eventually, the soldiers formed a human wall in front of the shogunate, and no one could see what was happening under the hate.

"How's the general?" Even calling Wang Jian didn't wake up, Liu Chi was even more anxious.

"The general's cold evil has entered the body." The shogunate priest had a bitter face and looked helpless. "The qi is reversed, the cold accumulates in the chest and does not diarrhea, the warm air goes if it does not diarrhea, the cold stays alone, the cold is blood coagulation and weeping, the condensation is not passable, and its pulse is grand and large, so the cold ......"

The monks of the shogunate are all imperial doctors of the Qin Palace, and the priest in front of him who took Wang Qian's pulse is Zhao Zheng's imperial doctor, Liu Chi did not question his medical skills, but hurriedly interrupted him: "How did the general wake up?!" ”

'Bang, bang, bang, bang...... Liu Chi asked the shogunate priest but did not answer, and then another round of lightning exploded around the trebuchet, separated by hundreds of paces and a few human walls, and the screams and wails of the soldiers in horror still came.

"Do we want to be defeated?" The general fainted, the sergeants in the formation scattered, and Liu Chi, who had no master of the six gods, muttered.
