Chapter 183: The Battle Begins
Genius 3 seconds to remember the website of this site [pen maze .] Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people. This famous sentence of Mencius obviously does not include such a heaven-defying laborer as Xiang Ji.
After setting up camp, this guy got into his tent, and after a while, there was a burst of snoring, and when he heard it, he knew that the quality of sleep was excellent, which was enviable.
If the day belongs to the laborers, then the night is the time when the laborers compete with each other.
There is no hustle and bustle during the day, and the environment that is rare to be quiet is especially suitable for brainstorming and summarizing the gains and losses of the day.
Liu Bang was muttering to Chen Ping, Yu Zhou was not idle, a lonely lamp and two pots of turbid wine, Yan Heng was complaining, he and Zhang Liang listened to everything, and raised some questions from time to time to check and fill in the gaps.
"So, Kaifeng and Chen Liu, in fact, can also be regarded as the city of the Qin army?!"
"Exactly, my subordinates heard that Zhang Chuzhuguo Cai Ci was going to lead the army to aid Chen Liu, but he wanted to go halfway, and suddenly learned the news of King Chen's death, so he had no choice but to retreat to Chendi."
"Zhang Han is very fast, it is estimated that while we take Waihuang, the three cities of Daliang, Kaifeng, and Chenliu can become horns again, no wonder Zhao Ben dares to set up a formation outside the city to wait for our army."
Zhang Liang shook his fan: "This is very true, I am afraid that Zhang Han's calculation is also here, first test the reality of our army with Wai Huang, and then rely on Chen Liujian City, which can be attacked and defended, but unfortunately, it is a pity that ......"
"Senior brother, what's a pity?"
"It's a pity that the Wei people don't have the courage to go out of the city to help, otherwise when our army and the Qin army are fighting, Daliang only needs to send an elite army, and Zhang Han will definitely hate it!"
Yu Zhou pouted: "Forget it, even if they have the courage to go out of the city, we must be prepared to fight alone, relying on others, I always feel unsteady." ”
"That's ......"
As the three of them spoke, the sky gradually changed from gray and black to invisible fingers, jumping with the candle flame, until the sky regained a glimmer of light, and the soldiers who came to patrol the night found that the three Shangguan had fallen asleep at their desks.
The meal was made quietly, and the barracks was also quiet when it woke up again, and the soldiers had just wiped the morning dew from their foreheads, and they were immersed in the happiness of today's special food, and they struggled to eat and drink.
The first to eat the grinding spear and armor, and then to eat the back pot to pull out the camp, very punctual four watches to cook, five watches to assemble, just waiting for the general to order the march.
Xiang Ji came, but he didn't come out of his tent, and with the sound of horses' hooves, this guy casually threw out two heads, opened his throat and shouted: "Go!" ”
The army was on the road again, Yu Zhou looked at Xiang Ji sitting on horseback and eating dry food, and really admired his big heart, and the way he exercised in the morning was so different.
However, this little thing just now is also bad news, because the enemy scouts that have never been cut off can only show that the Qin people attach great importance to the Chu army, and the kind of generals who are greedy for cups and mistakes and slack off on military affairs will only appear in stories and dramas because they are rare, and under the influence of Great Qin's opening up, it is difficult for this kind of person to gain a foothold!
A little surprisingly, I thought that Liu Bang's riding skills should not be good, but who knew that people were half-asleep with a lump of eye feces, and they were still as steady as a rock on horseback......
As the scouts fought again, Waihuang was getting closer and closer, and the Chu army had only been on the road for two hours, and news came that it was only a few miles away from Zhao Ben's army, and at this time, the sun had just climbed into the treetops, and the morning glow had not yet faded.
The formation began to be rolled out in advance, the guns were like a forest of arrows, the people were silent, and it only took half a moment to change from a loose marching column to several phalanxes with both offense and defense, which made Liu Bang envious.
Seeing Zhao Ben's army, Yu Zhou suddenly felt that Fu Jian was not wronged when he lost to the rumors, obviously knowing that the other party only had 50,000 horses, but seeing that the skyline could not be seen from south to north, it was a person who would think that there were at least hundreds of thousands of troops here.
It was the first time for Yu Zhou to see so many enemies, and the pressure was terrifying, it was conceivable that if the opposite person had a crossbow, even if the gods appeared in the world, they could shoot him back into the sky!
No wonder the First Emperor was obsessed with Qin Crossbow and his own army, no wonder he had to take it underground until he died, and was jokingly called the "Figure Maniac", it was really the confidence that this kind of army brought to his own side and the sense of oppression brought to the enemy was too strong, how could those in the top positions be willing to give up!
This is still a group of prisoners who are several points inferior in combat power, what if it is the Qin army who is serious? What if they were supported by the Great Qin Dingli?
And if ...... What about Meng Tian and the group of elites under his command?
Even...... With the horseshoe and the horseshoe, they were free to play crossbow on their horses.
It's horrible......
It's a meat grinder!
Between a few jumps of thought, the two armies of Qin and Chu officially began to confront each other, and Xiang Ji's halberd waved slightly, and a tooth-sore bow arm groan came into the ears of the two armies.
Not to be outdone, the Qin army is also ready to attack, at this time, no one knows where those shining arrows will fly in the next moment, and how much blood will be drunk before they will be satisfied.
The long Qin cavity sounded almost at the same time as Chu Ge, and then, with the roar of war drums, the roar of locusts in the air covered all sounds, and a terrible scream shrouded the sky of the wilderness, and the next moment, it was about to kill the soul!
The temptation is also to kill people, and the cloud arrays on both sides quickly dodge after tilting the anger, but no matter how fast people are, they are not as fast as arrows, and when the shield is just erected, they scream one after another.
I often hear people say that the power of heaven and earth is beyond the reach of manpower, and after seeing this kind of formation, I am afraid that those who are convinced of it will be shaken a little!
The key to whether manpower can win the sky lies in a cohesion, but at this time, the two armies of Qin and Chu can give people such a feeling, which shows that the elite of both sides!
The appearance of the Chu army can still be justified, because most of the sergeants standing here are from Jiangdong, and they are all carefully selected and carefully polished, as for the Qin army, it will feel incredible to think about their origins, especially since this is only a partial army under Zhang Han!
"The Qin people's military system is really able to force talents, and it is really terrible to turn a group of prisoners into pawns in just a few months, and feed the army with blood!"
The number of people is not superior, and the arrows shot out are naturally not superior, this time down, the Chu army obviously suffered a lot of losses, and it was amazing, just when the Qin army poked his head out to pull the bow and arrow, Situ Yi shot another arrow, as if it was an agreed signal, the Chu army did not stop at all, and then there was a rain of arrows in the air.
This time, the Qin army was defenseless at all, and the arrow array that was about to be formed was directly stillborn, and as the slightly sparse arrows fell, bright blood flowers bloomed, which made the Chu people more pleasant than the muffled hum behind the shield!
After suffering a small loss, the Qin army's cloud array was a little chaotic, but they quickly stabilized and gathered momentum again.
Who would have thought that the Chu army would be again and again, just after the black-clothed sergeant had just regained his footing, the arrows that fell from the head struck again, making people have no time to take a breath!
"Duwei Chen, what do you think?!"
Chen Ping looked at the arrows in the sky, hid in the same chariot with Liu Bang, and said: "Pei Gong, this place is flat, and you can't see the overall situation below, so naturally you can't know the doorway." ”
"Or ...... Shall I send someone to the back slope to have a look? ”
Chen Ping shook his head: "The general is strict in governing the army, this is a wartime that no one will be allowed to make mistakes, and Pei Gong should not make extraneous branches." ”
Liu Bang's body moved, stood on the frame and looked away for a moment, shook his head and said, "I can't see anything...... I said Chen Duwei, aren't you curious about how Chu Jun did it? This is a reversal of the advantages and disadvantages of friend and foe! ”
"If Pei Gong wants to achieve great things, he must first learn to control his curiosity, and it is not a good thing to let others guard against you in advance.
As long as we can stay in Chu Camp for a little longer, we can always watch a little bit of military tactics, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, we can't eat hot tofu in a hurry......"
"Who asked you to talk about tofu, I got up late this morning, and I didn't need to eat, so I made you even more hungry when I said it......"
“……”
At this time, the Qin army had also resisted the rain of arrows of the Chu people for a few more rounds, and you came and went to win and lose each other, and the smell of rust gradually became stronger.
has suffered losses one after another, can Qin Jun still endure it? Even the army that is good at guerrilla warfare will not retreat because of this small setback, not to mention that the temper of the Qin army is as strong as the first emperor, and it is well-known in ancient and modern times!
So the Qin people changed formations, their front army raised their shields, and approached firmly, and the sound of war drums was even more shocking, even those who were not good at music and reason, they could hear an urgency from it, and an indomitable determination!
It's no wonder that when marching and fighting, they like to beat the drum to advance and sing the gold to collect the troops, which is really the shock of the drum and pierces the hearts of the people, and it is almost to arouse all the blood of the soldiers!
When there are fewer people, it is just enough, the more troops, the stronger the people, the stronger the people, the two are enough to burn the potential in the bones......
Just look at the performance of the Qin army on the opposite side, when they first came out of the formation, although they were full of momentum, they were also a little messy, they didn't take ten steps, and the sound of footsteps gradually became uniform and the beat of the drum.
One step, there is always a coercion that makes the enemy unconsciously retreat and radiate outward, and if you take another step, there is a feeling that you can move mountains and seas to everyone, making the robe Ze work hard and the rebels lose their fear!
The Qin army officially entered the battle, and the archers and crossbowmen under Situ Yi's command had to allocate some energy to deal with these people, and the rain of arrows shooting towards the opponent's cloud array was a little sparse again, and they fell behind for a while.
Xiang Ji endured, even if the casualties of his own Baibu battalion gradually increased, he still turned a blind eye and endured, there was no depth of friendship during the war, no matter how much Yu Zhou wanted to send Wu Qi to bring some shield soldiers over to help, it would be in vain if he didn't have a military order.
The Qin army that came out of the battle was getting closer and closer, and his shield soldiers finally came in handy, with the change of the drum beat on the main formation, the flag waved rapidly, Yu Zhou kicked on the car beside him, and roared with a bit of a broken voice: "Hurry up, bed crossbow, Wu Qi, you take someone to protect me!" ”
"Whoa!"
Dozens of ox carts rushed to the front of the battle, and turned the head of the cart under the unexplained gaze of the Qin army, and after the shields protected these ox carts tightly, the Qin people suddenly had a little ominous premonition, especially the killing intent that could not be covered at all with one gun and three swords and arrows, which made people dare not look at it.
The winch rolled with a terrifying sound, much like a demon gnawing bones, contrary to the Qin people's hunch, the Chu people longed for this sound to spread throughout the battlefield like a drum, because after the ferocious beast became their own, people were only worried that it would no longer eat meat!
The way of chess has always been that the pawns are gone, and these Qin troops also have no chance to turn back, just when they are worried about how powerful those monsters will be, they see the Chu army hit the mallet hard, and the cold light ...... No, the dozens of fierce beasts that came out of the cage didn't even have a chance to react, and quickly galloped towards the Qin army......
The feeling of being hit by a chariot suddenly came from his chest, and a certain part of his body suddenly cooled, and Qin Jun, who was hit by the arrow, was still looking forward to not being chosen by death, how could he think that he couldn't walk anymore, and when he looked down, he found that one of his legs was gone......
With one shot and three swords, the huge iron feathers were comparable to three long swords, and for the first time they played their original role as the giant arrows flew sideways.
Many Qin soldiers felt a cool gushing of warmth from their bodies, and then they heard the sound of strings on the opposite side, and then, the pain that they felt after realizing it spread all over their bodies in an instant, and the lightly injured covered the wounds that couldn't stop the bleeding and began to wail, and the seriously injured had some scarlet from their mouths and noses, and there was no chance to leave a word......
Zhao Ben stood taller and saw it clearly, his brows jumped when he saw this situation, and after carefully thinking about several kinds of ballista, his tone was full of surprise and puzzlement: "What is this!" There is such a power to open up mountains and crack stones! ”
This Qin army commander was born in the old military gate of the land of Sanqin, and after several battles, he was also very capable, but unfortunately he only knew that the Chu army against this time was extremely elite, and as for what means the other party had, even Zhang Han couldn't tell.
After an instinctive question, Zhao Ben didn't expect anyone to answer, especially the deputy general Yang Xiong was slightly inferior in fighting the army, what other answer could he get?
After muttering a little, Zhao Ben also chose to ignore the casualties of his subordinates, and ordered the war drums to be more urgent, explaining what it means to be in charge of the soldiers.
As for the power of the bed crossbow, whether it is Zhao Ben or Xiang Ji, including Yu Zhou, who personally commanded the wielding of the mallet, they do not know as much as the Qin army who faced this thing, because it is a kind of profound ......
A giant arrow left a mess and a blood-colored void, and dozens of giant arrows were enough to split these Qin troops into many pieces.
The marching drum behind them was even more urgent, but they had a rare idea of turning around and going back to be executed by military law, which was better than dying like now.
The companions who fell to the ground could not bear to look at them directly, their intestines were rotten, their arms and legs were missing, and their heads were half-stretched...... There was another one, holding a shield but being shot through by a person with a shield, nailed to the ground and scratching back and forth, unable to take it off, and he couldn't die well.
Just when the Qin army was hesitating, their snare drums suddenly took on a bit of murderous aura, and when they turned back, they saw a small rain of arrows falling on the ground behind them, all from their own archers.
"If you can't live, let's fight, which one survives, it's death to go back, and death to go forward, just go forward!"
"What's that...... It's not like you didn't see the sunspot just now, I'd rather slash your head with a knife......"
"! Do you really think that those rules and regulations will not work if you change the head of the country? Before cutting off the head, you must cut off your limbs, gouge out your eyes and cut off your tongue! ”
"That'...... Go ahead, fight! ”
