Chapter 006: The Battle of Zhaoguan is about to break out

……

The scout army in front reported the news of the movement of the Chu army, and Bai Qi immediately summoned all the generals to enter the account for detailed operational deployment, and the army immediately entered the stage of combat readiness.

After besieging the Chu army for almost a month, Bai Qi received news from before and after, and the Chu State wanted to send military rations to Zhaoguan several times, but all of them were either burned or intercepted by their own army, and not a single grain of grain millet was delivered to the Zhaoyang department.

Lao Zhaoyang must have given up waiting for the Chu State to send food to solve the urgent need, and decided to find another way, no accident must be to lead the army west out of the Zhaoguan Pass to break through, and the breakthrough offensive will be extremely fierce, the Chu army has been besieged for a long time, driven by the desire to survive, the combat power will not decrease but increase.

Zhaoyang is an old ginger in the end, very vicious, even Bai Qi can't help but admire one or two.

Now Bai Qi is nominally the king of the four kingdoms of Wei, Qi, Chu and Song, and he was named Wu Anjun by Chu when the three kingdoms of Wei, Qi and Chu jointly destroyed Wu Yue, not only was he named Wu Anjun, but also was worshiped by the king of Chu Huai as a general, so Bai Qi was familiar with the military system and tactics of Chu.

According to the scouts' repeated reports: the 300,000 Chu army was mainly composed of the children of the Zhao clan and the Xiang clan.

Although the number of chariots of the Chu army was small and the combat effectiveness was weak, Bai Qi still did not want to use the chariots and cavalry of the defense of the country to meet it head-on, let alone take the initiative to start a decisive battle with it. Bai Qi expected that Lao Zhaoyang's headquarters would mainly break through the siege, and would definitely not start a decisive battle with the main force of the guards, so it was only necessary to achieve the purpose of encircling but not annihilating and besiege it.

Jianghuai East County is mountainous, coupled with the dense rivers and lakes, it is difficult for the chariots to gallop like the Central Plains, which is also the factor that the Chu army's chariots are invincible to the Central Plains, so the Chu army has always been the main force of the infantry army, and the infantry army is precisely restrained by the cavalry.

At dawn and dawn, the clear sky outside the mountain gradually turned gray-yellow, and the faint thunder came from the eastern sky, and the hills and fields of the western Saikou of Zhaoguan also suddenly became dark, and suddenly, I saw rows of banners hunting and hunting in the dust and sand sky, like the tide of the sky and the sea, coming in the direction of the guards.

On the land of the Chu army's westward advance, there were more than 400,000 troops standing in formation on the opposite side, and the two armies of Wei and Song had been waiting for a long time, and they were all waiting solemnly, and they had the intention of inviting the king into the urn.

In a moment, the battle between the two armies of Wei and Chu is about to break out.

Xiang Zhang led 80,000 Xiang clan soldiers as the front army, and saw a huge infantry phalanx lined up in the enemy formation, and looked carefully, the soldiers in the guard battle formation, the front line were all holding long shields, hanging swords with bows on their backs, holding spears, and wearing armor, and then looking at the soldiers in the Song army's battle array, although the equipment was far inferior to the guards, they could still be called wearing a fine armor in front of the Chu army.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the Chu State were simply not equipped enough to compare with the Song army, let alone the well-equipped guards.

Even so, Xiang Zhang is fearless, the 80,000 children of the Xiang clan are also not afraid of defeating the guards of the Qin army's division, among the 80,000 soldiers, many of them are even half naked, as Xiang Zhang said, the only son of the Xiang clan can spill their blood to serve the country.

At this moment, the battlefield was covered with smoke and dust, and more than 400,000 and 300,000 troops faced each other, arrayed a stone's throw away, and a sea of earthy yellow and red appeared on the field.

On the ontology, Weiguo is an authentic royal prince, Weiguo also naturally inherited the fire virtue of Zhou, the banner and clothing are still red, the soldiers of the guard are black armor and red clothes blend with each other, the spear is tied with a small red diamond ribbon half a foot long, and a sea of red in the hundreds of thousands of troops is blowing in the breeze.

The state of Chu is not the royal princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has always been regarded as the southern barbarian Jing people by the Central Plains countries, the state of Chu is a self-supporting state, and was canonized by Zhou because of the meritorious service in the crusade against the Shang Dynasty.

Entering the Warring States Period, the State of Chu began to deduce the Tude of "descendants of Yan and Huang, and the same virtue as the Yellow Emperor", and the State of Chu established its national color, and the flag uniform became a color of Tuhuang.

Let's say that when the two armies faced each other, the guard battle formation was in the middle position, one person immediately went forward, the red cloak flew in the wind, and a fine armor uniform shone in the sun.

Approaching the place where the Chu army was an arrow, before Wu Anjun went out of the horse formation, he bowed to Xiang Zhang, the vanguard general in front of the Chu army: "In Xia Baiqi, I have millions of soldiers to stay for a long time......" Bai Qi shouted loudly but without a trace of laughter, and then raised his whip and pointed at this land, and said: "Sixteen years ago, Bai Qi was convenient to join forces with your army here, and wiped out more than 200,000 Wu Yue's soldiers, and the souls of the King of Yue and his 200,000 troops were buried here. ”

"Wu Anjun?"

"He is the mighty Wu Anjun Bai Qi......"

"It is said that Bai Qi was the king of the Three Kingdoms, and was once canonized by the king as the king of Wu Anjun of the Chu State, and worshiped the general......"

For a while, the soldiers in the battle array of the Chu army whispered continuously, and at this time, Bai Qi shouted again: "Chu Xing's unrighteous division is not tolerated by the way of heaven, Bai Qi advises you to wait for you to take off your armor and surrender, you can avoid death and no place to be buried." ”

Xiang Zhang didn't want to compete with him for the speed of his tongue, so he saw the blue light flashing, and the long sword came out of the sheath to point at the enemy and shouted: "Bai Qi, the world of great controversy, Wang Yuxingshi, why do you need to say so high-sounding?" We are generals, but we will fight to the death. You and I are different, each is his own master, so if it is useless to talk too much, why should we waste our tongues again? ”

Bai Qiyao looked at a huge "Xiang" flag behind Xiang Zhang, and immediately bowed his hand again: "I have heard for a long time that the Xiang clan is brave, and Your Excellency is General Xiang Zhang. ”

After some rhetoric, Bai Qi had already roughly figured out some information about the Chu army, and as soon as the words fell, Mu Han immediately came over, and said: "I can only observe the momentum of the Chu army, but these 80,000 children of the Xiang clan are full of arrogance and strong fighting spirit. It is naturally insignificant in front of the soldiers of our army, but it is indeed difficult to say that the Song army is difficult to defeat the Chu army, and it will definitely become a breakthrough for the Chu army, Mu Hanβ€”β€”"

"The last general!" Mu Han responded with a fist.

"With you leading 15,000 iron cavalry to cover the two wings of the Song army, and at the same time urging the Song army, once the war starts, but there are those who retreat cowardly, kill β€”β€”!" Bai Qi said calmly.

"The Last Will Do β€”β€”!" The young Mu Han clenched his fists and arched his hands, pulled the reins and rode away in an instant, and after a while, the dust rose behind the army, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves surged on the ground, and Mu Han drew 15,000 cavalry regiments and began to lay out.

At the same time, in the direction of the Chu army, which was a stone's throw away, Xiang Zhang gave an order and led the army to launch a breakthrough. With the long and sharp shout resounding, the earthy yellow banner in the Chu army array swayed rapidly, and the hundreds of conch horns in the main army array made a "woo" horn and roared in the field, but seeing that in front of the Chu army, 800 chariots rushed towards it, and Xiang Zhang's 80,000 Xiang clan soldiers were roaring towards the guards, and there was a great tendency to be overwhelming and unstoppable.
