"Don't weep! Don't cry! There was a choking sound, and Li Youji had to drink loudly. According to military law, he should have killed people and established authority, but when he saw that the soldiers around him looked at him, he had to let go of the hand holding the sword.

The soldier held a halberd in his hand, and Li Yousi did not dare to be presumptuous, but the company commander standing on the chariot waved his sword again and again, shouting: "The Chu people surround me, and you can return home if you defeat the Chu army." If we don't fight, the kingdom of Qi will die and the whole city will die. The Chu people surrounded me, and after defeating the Chu army, I could return home......"

The company commander on the chariot not only shouted at the 200 people under his command, but also shouted at the people who were close to him. Ironically, the soldier didn't seem to hear him, and the cry was still crying, wanting to look back as usual. After a few days of preaching, everyone knew that the Chu army only won the siege of the city and did not harm the Qi people, but now it wants everyone to fight for the victory.

"The east is unknown, upside down clothes......" The city gate hole is getting closer and closer, and when the foremost soldiers enter the city gate hole, someone sings. The sky was dark, and the hole in the city gate was even darker, and one man sang, and all the pawns echoed; A pawn echoed, and the whole army echoed. In the army, there are divisions, company commanders, and brigade commanders who are anxious and angry, but there is no way to stop them.

"The East is not clear, and the clothes are turned upside down. Turn it upside down, call it from the public.

The East is not dawning, and the clothes are reversed. Turn it upside down, and order it from the public.

Fold the willow Fan Garden, the madman Qu Qu. If you can't stay awake, you can't ...... if you don't sleep."

The song was sung once, and when it was the second time, it was no longer a non-commissioned soldier of one army echoing it, and almost all of the thirteen newly recruited corps were singing. It is their wailing and their anger. Standing on the city wall, Du Dafu Tian Yang's face turned pale with anger, and the military advisor Mu Chong remained silent, and the Chu army had already left the camp in the morning light, but the formation was not opened.

"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! "In the small city of the southwest, Hou Sheng was shocked when he heard the singing.

This is a lament about the common people who have to get up and work before dawn because of the conscription of the government, so that their clothes are turned upside down. The willow branches are weak and cannot be made into a fence, but under the quizz of the evil officials, they cannot do it, but they must do it. Labor is labor, but the rulers do not know the time of day, and cannot be at night, so that day and night are almost confused.

It is both a lament and a sarcasm. Especially when singing this kind of song when going out to war, I only heard the courtiers and doctors tremble. Tian Jian, the king of Qi, was stiff and had been the king for more than 30 years, and this was the first time he heard the voice of the common people. He originally thought that the country of Qi was rich and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, but he never thought that their lives would be 'turned upside down'.

"King, this must be caused by the bewitchment of the Chu people, and the common people are all loyal......" Hou Sheng saw Tian Jian stiff and knew that he had listened to the song, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. However, Tian Jian seemed to be dead, and his eyes were full of horror.

"King, all the people are miserable." The song inevitably reached the shogunate of the Chu army, and Yan Qiu only said that the people were sad.

"Our army will win!" Raising a beard is joy. Qi people are not united, this battle is easy to fight.

"In this way, it is not a force to win." Xiong Jing knew that the common people of Qi were separated from the upper class, but he really didn't expect it to be so far away. "Are the Qi people already arrayed?"

The Qi army is leaving the city in large numbers, and Xiong Jing is more concerned about what kind of formation they will pose. After he asked, the military officials outside the tent hurriedly said: "Your lord, the Qi people have gone out of the city one after another, and they have not yet lined up. ”

"Probe!" Xiong Jing snorted. With a command, more scouts rushed out of the shogunate.

In fact, at this time, the Qi army had already begun to set up the formation, but the military formation was cleverly designed, and the Chu army scouts did not discover it in time. Under the design of the military advisor Mu Chong, the Qi army was not facing the canal in an array (east-west direction), nor was it facing the Linzi West City Wall (north-south direction), but lined up in an oblique formation. Its northern end is only the northwest corner of the city, and the south end is close to the Shenchi forest a few miles away from the west gate of the city.

The west city wall of Linzi is about four kilometers, and if you line up against the west wall, the formation is only four kilometers. Now the southern end stretches out to the west, and the northern end is backed by the western city wall, and the entire military formation runs in a southwest-northeast direction, and the width of the military formation is more than five kilometers.

The difference between four kilometers and five kilometers is one kilometer, which is not a matter at all for the Qi army, which has an absolute advantage in numbers, but for the Chu army, which has limited troops, it is very painful. Xiong Jing's previous design of the maximum array width was only four and a half kilometers, and now the Qi army has been stretched to five kilometers, or even more than five kilometers, and the flank of the Chu army is likely to be outflanked by the Qi army.

The decisive battle in the west of the city was chosen precisely because it was difficult to set up the military formation here. As for the ...... the Qi army is arraying on the canal, this is impossible, it takes half a day to walk five kilometers, and half a day is enough time for the Chu army to launch several attacks. Now it's good, the southern end of the Qi army is slanted, and four kilometers have been stretched into more than five kilometers. The order of the array was from north to south, at first the Chu army scouts thought that they were lining up with their backs to the west city wall, and when the sun came out, they finally found that something was wrong, and the further south they went, the farther the Qi army was from the west city wall.

"Tell the king, the Qi army is not based on the city, and the south of its formation goes west." The scouts rushed into the shogunate to tell him, and the whole account was shocked.

"To the west?!" Xiong Jing was stunned and noticed something.

"Shen Chi!" In unison, several people shouted out the place. Xiong Jing's forehead finally began to sweat, and he said in a deep voice: "Its north back is against the water, and its south is connected to Shenchi, this is to kill my cavalry." ”

This battle was won by cavalry, and now the Qi people skillfully used the moat and Shen Chi screen to protect their flanks, and the hook attack was obviously impossible. Fu Jing suddenly felt a little chill in her heart, if she couldn't hook it, she could only hit it, and she relied on heavy cavalry to break through the Qi army array.

"Alas!" Yang Yu glanced at Yan Qiu, "This is not a mistake to burn Shen Chi." ”

"What's the use of burning?" Xiong Jing, who was thinking, glared at him. "Don't burn the cavalry!"

"Please give the king's order, the formation of the late Qi army will be completed." Deng Sui hurriedly said, he was afraid that the Chu army would fall behind.

"Order: The 1st Division of Dongcheng is the left army, and the 1st Division of Xicheng is the right army. The 2nd and 3rd Divisions of Xicheng are the Chinese Army. Xiong Jing pondered for a moment before he began to order. The Chinese army is the first in the array, and the Chinese army is facing the halberd-wielding soldiers, eight people in each column, and five non-halberd-wielding soldiers......"

"What is the formation of the Qi army?" Speaking of this, Xiong Jing suddenly paused, and asked the scout again.

"Qi army, Qi army......" The sudden westward extension of the southern end of the Qi army's formation was the biggest discovery of the scouts, and as for the formation of the Qi army, the scouts did not pay attention.

"Tell the king, the Qi army is a formation of geese." A scout hurried in, and at this time, the outline of the Qi army array was visible. "Before the geese marched, there was another chariot."

"I want to hit my Chinese army!" Someone in the tent was in a hurry. Rushing into battle with a chariot, and then attacking with a goose marching array, this is the intention of the Qi people.

"The whole army is in a convex formation, and the sergeants in the middle are ready to make a huge iron thistle." Xiong Jing nodded and said. "Remember! In wartime, if you hear the sound of gold, the convex formation will become a concave formation. ”

"Respectfully obeyed." The generals immediately agreed.

The wild goose array is actually a concave formation, because it is concave, it can be attacked by the enemy army in two breads. There is no change in this formation. The convex formation is different, and when the convex formation is engaged, it can gradually retreat into a concave formation, just like the battle of Shimizu, sucking the enemy in and fighting. The current Chu army is no longer the Chu army in the Battle of Qingshui, and there is no need to worry about the collapse of the battle when retreating.

It's just that whether it's a convex formation or a concave formation, it's bound to compress the width of the Chu army's military formation again. When the column is horizontal, each column of soldiers occupies a space of about one meter, and the space of each column of soldiers must be less than one meter when the concave and convex formation is bent and arranged in a horizontal line, so that the array interval can be kept at about one meter when the concave and convex formation is not too loose.

Therefore, Xiong Jing finished ordering and said: "The left and right wings are protected by huge wire nets, the artillery is facing the left wing of the Qi army junction, and the cavalry column is on the right flank. ”

The artillery and cavalry must be on the same side, and now the different sides are puzzled, but fortunately, Xiong Jing immediately said: "When the Qi army is formed, the cavalry will go to the left flank." ”

"Respectfully obey the order!" Fei Jing and Gong Ji agreed in unison.

"The left and right armies are in close proximity to the central army, and the battle line must not be broken. The Eighth Guards and the First Pawn of the First Division of Dongcheng are You Que, standing on the right side of the Central Army. All the warships were offshore, and the warboats at both ends of the canal were on guard. Xiong Jing then ordered, and the generals were ordered one by one.

"Any objections?" When everyone had finished ordering, he looked around at everyone and asked each other one last question.

"The ministers have no objections!" All the generals in the tent are all right.

"Array!" Xiong Jing's fist was raised, and then swung down hard.

"Report ——!" On the western city wall of Linzi, the shouts of the Qi army scouts were more urgent than those of the Chu army. The Chu army had only been on guard before, but now it was finally in battle. The scout waved his sleeves and let him go down before he could tell him, and what he was going to report had already been seen by Mu Chong.

The Chu army was only four large formations before, and now the two in the middle of these four large formations were slowly moving forward, and they stopped moving forward when they were three hundred steps away from the Qi army's formation. Immediately, the sound of the bracelet sounded, and the two large arrays spread out in an instant, corresponding to the halberd-wielding army in the middle of the Qi army array, and the Chu army array began to pull horizontally, gradually thinning, until the end of the halberd-wielding army, those Chu soldiers with spears did not stop. Then they turned neatly, facing their own army.

The formation was like flowing water, the soldiers looked and walked neatly, and even the sound of weapons colliding was completely consistent. Tian Yang, who witnessed all this at the head of the city, couldn't help but exclaim: "This strong army is also! ”

"Eight." Mu Chong only paid attention to the depth of the Chu army's array. He had long known that the Chu army was a strong army, and it was precisely because it was a strong army that he wanted more than 200,000 people to fight. Don't he know that the 130,000 people can't fight? Of course he does. It's just that if these 130,000 people are not recruited, how can the Qi army list a five-kilometer military formation? Without listing a five-kilometer army formation, how can the Qi army thin the depth of the Chu army's array? Without thinning the depth of the Chu army's array, how can the halberd-wielding army, as the Chinese army, break through the Chu army's military formation?

One ring is always one ring, although I don't know if Shi Yi can break through the Chu army, but Mu Chong has done his best. At least, the two wings were no longer attacked by the Chu army's iron cavalry, secondly, the depth of the Chu army was pressed to the thinnest, and finally the rear army, 230,000 people he pressed up without reservation, so there were still 40,000 reserves in his hands.
