Under Dai Yan's orders, Fengyi's army was quickly assembled. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Of course, he also encountered troubles, that is, his retainers Tang Ying and Xiao Xiang fought directly in front of him for the ownership of the head of the brigade commander.

After Dai Yan asked about the situation, he reprimanded both of them. He told them directly: On the battlefield, of course, comrades-in-arms must cooperate with each other, everyone is a group, where can they compete with each other for such a little credit? But for the head of the Chu army marshal, he still divided it equally among the two according to his merits.

Subsequently, Tian Buli also came back to report that Zhao Hua would not send troops to attack at this time. Dai Yan learned the news and finally put his mind at ease. If he faced this army of Yang Lingjun alone, with the giant here, he was still sure. If the 30,000 Chu army vanguards left in Fengyi also attacked, then he would not have the slightest recourse.

Although Dai Yan didn't know the complicated relationship between the old and new nobles of the Chu State, he knew that he and Zhao Sui were people with common interests now, and Zhao Sui would definitely not watch him suffer. And Zhao Sui is greedy, and Dai Yan knows what to do when he first interacts with him. Sure enough, under the Golden Bullet offensive, Zhao Sui stopped Zhao Sui's advance.

The armies of Dai Yan and Yang Lingjun began to assemble, and no one on either side could deceive anyone in this large-scale action, so the armies of both sides began to approach invariably.

In Yang Lingjun's opinion, although Zuo Sima Zhaohua refused to send troops to help, according to his observations, he still had more soldiers in his hands than Ziyan's. This Ziyan gave him such a big lesson, he had to defeat Ziyan in order to snow the hatred in his heart. And he is also sure of this.

In Dai Yan's opinion, Zhao Slip did not send troops, and Yang Lingjun was currently in an isolated and helpless situation in Fengyi, and now was the best time to eliminate him! Although he has fewer troops than the other side, and the situation is not in his favor, he must also send troops to fight, and he must win!

The armies of both sides stopped at a distance of about five hundred cloths, and both sides began to line up with each other. Although this era is already the Warring States Period, although the collapse of ritual music is serious, it has not completely collapsed after all. Before the start of the war, the two sides still had to engage in diplomatic activities.

When Dai Yan was arraying on the flat ground, the envoy of Yangling Jun arrived. As soon as he saw Dai Yan, he reprimanded loudly: "Gongzi, you are also the younger brother of Song Jun and the prince of Song State, but you attacked our army and didn't even say hello, so you attacked directly." I'm ashamed of you for doing so! If you can realize your mistake and surrender to me, my lord will have a lot and can forgive your sins. ”

Dai Yan was confused by this messenger. Is this Yang Lingjun stupid or what? He has grabbed food from my fiefdom, this is he attacking me first, and he still has the face to reprimand me? And he still wants to persuade me to surrender? It's all up to this, how can you surrender!

So he also sent Tian Buli to reprimand Yang Lingjun, and sent a teacher to Yang Lingjun.

When Tian Buli saw Yanglingjun, he said: "My monarch attacked Yanglingjun, but Yanglingjun was at fault first. My monarch has an appointment with your country's Zuo Yin, and my Song country supplies grain to your country, and Yangling Jun privately collects grain in my Fengyi, which is also a pass; My monarch has a covenant with your country, and your army will not harass the people in the land of our Song Dynasty, and the king of Yangling will kill my Fengyi people and rob my people's property. As a guest army, Yanglingjun does not know how to restrain himself on the land of our country, and he also wantonly persuades my monarch to surrender, from this point of view, Yanglingjun really has the intention of invading my Song country, which is different from the goal of the king of Chu this time. With these three mistakes, if Yanglingjun surrenders as he wishes, if he is unwilling to surrender, my monarch will fight to the death with Yanglingjun on the battlefield! ”

Yang Lingjun laughed angrily when he heard Song Jun's reprimand and challenge, and he said to Tian Buli: "Since your son-in-law is looking for death, then it's no wonder to me." Then he drove Tian Buli back and began to order his subordinates to line up.

In the era of cold weapons, whether it was the East or the West, as long as it was a slightly literate army, the infantry fought in a queue. Alexander the Great, the ancestor of Western civilization, once used the Macedonian phalanx to defeat the entire Persia, so Westerners believe that only Greek and Roman civilizations have infantry phalanxes, which leads to the conclusion that Western civilization is superior to all civilizations in military organization, and they put forward a shocking point of view: Western civilization has inherent advantages, and if Western civilization had not encountered the dark Middle Ages, it would have evolved to industrial civilization with its own internal advantages.

Many people still agree with this strange view that flows out of the Western world, and some people even think that as long as it is a battle with cold weapons, the formation of the Macedonian phalanx can be invincible if the whole team is pierced to the right. It's a pity that those people can't travel to the Warring States Period with Dai Yan, if they come, Dai Yan will definitely let these guys who think that if they stab to the right, they will definitely win, rush to the forefront of the phalanx, so that he can feel the face-to-face war in this era.

In fact, China has long had a phalanx, the Spring and Autumn Period people called the courage of the Jin State as "good to be in time", the Jin people like to line up in a formation to fight when they fight, and later the Chu State suffered many losses in the process of competing for hegemony with the Jin State, so they also learned to line up in a column to fight. If the army is arranged in three columns, it can be called a three-talent array; If it is arranged in five columns, it can be called a five-element array. After the Warring States period, a certain political genius lined up the army into eight columns, thus creating a shocking gossip array.

On the other side, Dai Yan and Juzi were also observing the formation of the Chu army on the opposite side. In Dai Yan's eyes, the equipment of the Chu army on the opposite side looked similar to his own, and most of the soldiers were similar to the weapons used by the soldiers on his side, mainly short swords, ge, spears and other weapons. The Chu army is the only one that is different from this side and has another 10 military vehicles to fight together, while there are no military vehicles on their own side. With these military vehicles, the Chu army was superior to the Song army in terms of equipment.

The formation of the Chu army on the opposite side was that the military vehicles were lined up at the front, and there were a large number of infantry around the military vehicles. In the pure infantry formation, the spearmen are in the front, the swordsmen are in the middle, and the archers are in the end.

Dai Yan didn't understand the formation arrangement of this era, so he asked Tian Jiu directly: "Giant, the Chu army on the opposite side still has a chariot, how should we deal with it?" ”

"It's really a trouble to have a chariot on the opposite side, we can't let the chariot on the opposite side run first, we must attack first! On the battlefield, strong is better than weak, and courage is better than cowardice. The opposing Chu army has more people than us, and the equipment is superior to ours, we are now in a disadvantageous state, and if we want to attack and win, we must have the courage to fight better than the other side! Tian Jiu said.

"So how do you do that?" Dai Yan asked.

Tian Jiu slowly drew out his saber, and then said, "Gather all the soldiers with short swords, and the old man and the disciples of the Mo family will personally lead the charge to the opposite side!" Because the short swordsman fights closely, he has the most courageous fighting spirit and the most enduring will to fight. And the Mo family's disciples' will to fight is definitely not something that the Yang Ling Jun on the other side can imagine, the combination of the two is the most courageous existence of our army, and it will definitely be able to defeat the Chu army on the opposite side at one time! When we break through the opposing formation, we will press the following teams and solve them all at once. ”

"Giant, do you want to charge in person?" Dai Yan asked.

"That's right, the disciples of the Mo family can only die without retreating under my orders if they follow me! Only in this way can our army be more courageous than the other side. The only way we can win against a disadvantage is this. Tian Jiu replied.

Dai Yan was silent, the giant was in his fifties. Although he had said that he would be loyal to himself, his heart was filled with shame when he saw an old man in his fifties about to charge at a powerful enemy in front of him! He is a young man, he should be more powerful and effective than the old man, he should be a good warrior, but he has to hide under the protection of the army!

This intense humiliation made his fearful heart disappear since the beginning of the war.

"Giant, you stay here to command, and I will lead everyone to charge." Dai Yan said.

Tian Jiu was shocked and hurriedly persuaded: "Childe, your status is noble, you can leave the rough work of going into battle to fight with me, how can you go to the front line to fight in person?" ”

"The giant doesn't need to say any more." Dai Yan said, "The Chu army came to the Song State and I recruited it. And this war, too, I provoked, I must be responsible for this war! At present, I do not have the ability to command the war, and even if I stay in the rear, I will not be able to grasp the real fighter. And these need to be judged by the giant himself. I have made up my mind, and the giant does not need to persuade me anymore. ”

Afterwards, he summoned all the brigade commanders and the Mo family commanders and said to them: "Now is the time for a decisive battle, the giant thinks that we are now inferior in numbers and equipment, and the only way to defeat them is to defeat the opponent with a more courageous posture than the opponent. Now, go and pick out all the short swordsmen under your command, and I'll charge them directly in a moment, and I'll lead them all forward!" ”

The brigade marshal and the marshals of the Mo family looked at each other, some looked at Dai Yan, and some looked at the giant again, but no one moved.

Dai Yan yelled at these brigade commanders and the commanders of the Mo family: "I am your lord and the commander of this army, don't you listen to what I say?" ”

Everyone looked at each other. Dai Yan is usually a very gentle person, and everyone rarely sees him angry at his own people. However, on the battlefield today, everyone could hear the intense anger in his tone.

When the giant saw this scene, he had to say: "Childe is the supreme commander of the army, do you want to disobey orders?" Go ahead and execute! So all the Mo family marshals went down to carry out the order.

When all the short swordsmen were selected, Dai Yan walked up to these swordsmen and said to them, "Everyone, the time has come for us to fight Yangling Jun!" The Chu army on the opposite side, ignoring the agreement between our Song State and the Chu State, wantonly invaded our Fengyi. As the children of Fengyi, it is a matter of course for you to protect your Fengyi hometown; Everyone remember, behind us are our parents and brothers, if we don't defeat the Chu army on the opposite side, what awaits us is that our father's and brother's property will be robbed and our relatives will be killed, so we can't take a step back! As the lord of Fengyi, it is my duty to drive out these thieves, and I will fight with you and will never retreat! ”

When the selected short swordsmen heard this, they also drew their short swords, and shouted in unison: "I am willing to follow my son and swear not to retreat!" ”
