Chapter Seventy-Eight: Chu Ge Rises
It is not an easy thing for a large army to pull out the camp, more than 100,000 people pack up their belongings and wear armor together, take care of the heavy grain and grass, and divide the front army and the rear camp, Li Xin's march can be described as walking on thin ice, and now there are enemies on all sides, and what he is most worried about has happened.

Xiang Yan was behind him, there had already been a small-scale engagement before, and he only looked at it from a distance, and he knew that it was expected by Meng Tian.
The Chu army is really a suspicious plan! The Chu army behind him is no less than 150,000 people, and it is impossible to divide the troops at all!
And at this time, Xiang Yan was not comfortable, the Qin army was just transferred, not defeated, not to mention that they were strictly organized, and the marching speed was extremely fast! It was just a small blockade, and he chased for three days and three nights before he saw the trace of Li Xin's main force.
"Quing! Yield! ”
"Back to the general, General Qu led the army first, have you forgotten?"
Xiang Yan patted his head, he was really dizzy, took a breath, and asked the pro-soldier who answered: "Where is this place, has the scouts returned, and how far is the Qin army from us?" ”
"General Hui, there are thirty miles ahead of Xiling, as for the Qin army, a scout just came to report, saying that he had formed a formation in Xiling, and you happened to fall asleep at that time, so I didn't know."
After all, Xiang Yan is an old man who is close to the age of sixties, and he has been working hard for days, coupled with three days of sleepless pursuit, which made him extremely tired, and he actually fell asleep on the chariot without knowing it, and also lost the loyalty of his own soldiers, while concealing the news and continuing to pursue, while taking care of the numb general.
Xiang Yan took the water bladder and poured it on his face, and then he was more sober: "Order, the whole army rests, scouts closely monitor the movements of the Qin army, and after half an hour, fight to the death with the Qin army!" ”
"Whoa!"
Xiang Yangang was about to take a breath, and rode over from afar: "Report - General Qiqi, the villain is General Qu's personal soldiers, and the general's order is small, he has already arranged it in Lutai Mountain!" ”
Xiang Yan carefully investigated Qu Ding's warrant, and called a few soldiers to identify the person who came without worry, and when he looked up again, he was already smiling with a chill: "Okay!" Today, let Xiling become Li Xin's burial place! ”
The distance of thirty miles is nothing for more than 100,000 people, and within half an hour, the scouts on both sides fought several times, and when the scouts with crossbow arrows all over his body saw Li Xin, his face was even more gloomy: "The Chu people actually imitated a strong crossbow so quickly, it seems that Xiang Chao has gained a lot in Xiyang." ”
Li Xin's personal soldiers were also clever, and replied with their fists clenched: "The general doesn't need to care, although he has not captured the strong crossbow of the Chu people, but the villain thinks that they may not be able to form an army alone with a strong crossbow, but the ranger scouts are no longer superior to our army." ”
Li Xin nodded, and at this moment, the billowing smoke and dust were already within reach.
"Report - General Li, the Chu army is only ten miles away from our army, and the generals of various departments have come to ask if they should take advantage of the Chu army's unstable foothold to engage in the battle first!"
The Qin army, which was in a hurry, didn't have time to build a high platform, Li Xin looked at it for a while, and said: "The Chu people are menacing and neatly arrayed, and they have ordered all armies to strictly defend the military formation, and they must not engage in battle privately!" ”
After saying the military order, Li Xin reflexively climbed into a nest car and waited for the arrival of the big war.
Although the Chu army was still tired after a little rest, and the formation had contracted tightly, Xiang Yan boldly ordered the Chu people to form a formation while marching, and as soon as they walked five miles, they were already in a regular lineup, and Li Xin, who was watching, gasped for breath - all the elites who came were battle-hardened!
Xiang Yan's old face was black and red, the exhaustion of her body couldn't hold back her exuberant spirit at all, how could she not be excited when she waited for the fighter plane for half a year!
The urging of the king, the incomprehension of colleagues, and the anger of the soldiers, all of them will be vented today!
"Toot-to-doo-" "Knock, knock, knock......"
Xiang Yan waved his head, and the loud and long horn sounded, and in an instant, the war drums of the Chu army sounded in unison, and the soldiers moved slowly with neat steps.
"Soldiers compete for the first, Xiongchu is strong!" The majestic Chu Ge was like a stimulant, which suddenly raised the morale of the army to the peak.
The Chu people who believe in witches are simple-minded, and when the seniors all gain courage from the song, Chu Ge gradually becomes a spell-like existence, as if whenever the song flutters, the enemy in front of them is not worth mentioning, and the pain on the body is insignificant, and the dead souls can find their way home......
"How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are with your son!" The black-clothed Qin army refused to show weakness, they were better at gaining strength from their companions, and they were in the same boat, looking at each other.
When the two armies were only one stone's throw away, the Chu army took the lead in moving, and without being reminded by the elders, the veteran Chu soldiers consciously raised all kinds of shields.
"Wind! Wind!! Gale!!! ”
The momentum of ten thousand arrows was overwhelming, the rain fell, many people didn't even have a chance to snort, they fell on the way to charge, more Chu troops held their shields tightly, and let the arrows shoot on it aggressively, the battlefield has always been luck and courage in parallel.
The Chu people who walked in the front were like leeks that had been cut off, and there was not much left, but this did not affect their determination to move forward in the slightest, and they pressed forward step by step with the blood of their companions.
After shooting a round, the Qin crossbowmen retreated quickly, because the Chu people had already opened their bows.
The Qin army, which had been fighting for a long time, had just raised its shield, and the arrows of the Chu people roared in, although they were not as long range and powerful as the Qin crossbows, but the bows and arrows were much more accurate than the crossbow arrows, and they still caused a lot of damage to the Qin army.
Seeing this, Li Xin's heart jumped again, the role of the crossbow is mostly to cover the blow, and the operation is relatively easy, and the bow and arrow are more tests of archery, just now this round of shooting, let him have a deeper understanding of the Chu army's good fighting, since the Qin and Chu war, the smooth journey really made himself careless.
After a few thoughts, the enemy and I were close at hand, and the two main generals on the nest car watched the black-clothed and red-robed people intertwined, and the war drums in their ears seemed to be weaker, and if they listened carefully, it was the shouts of the soldiers and the exchange of soldiers that covered up the drums.
There is no temptation, no feint, as soon as the battle is a selfless fight, the place where the black and red communicate has become a mill of flesh and blood, the Chu halberd of the forest breaks open the stomach, the sharp spear takes away the lives one by one, and the sound of the fight has been echoing in the sky of Xiling.
"The formation of the Chu people has been opened, and the order of our army is passed, and the left and right armies will push forward, and take the front army of the Chu people as quickly as possible, forming a trend of being outnumbered by the crowd! Order the rear army to strengthen its vigilance and be ready to meet the battle at any time! ”
As soon as the order flag on the nest car waved, the drumbeat of the Qin people immediately changed, and the Qin army that moved with the order was outflanked like a dark cloud.
"It is useless for the two armies to fight the Qin crossbow in close combat, so order a thousand chariots to break into the Qin people's flank army, and then order the Ba people's tiger-faced army to gallop to the front army, and be sure to force the Qin people's middle army!"
The herald didn't ask how the thousand chariots came back, the military order was like a mountain, even the order to send to death had to be carried out to the letter, even if it was just to disrupt the Qin army for a moment, it was possible to create a fighter.
"Toot-toot-"
As soon as the horn of the attack was blown, thousands of Ba people with blackened faces shouted and joined the battlefield, and investing more soldiers only made the battle situation more tragic, Xiang Yan looked at the Qin army on the opposite side with an expressionless face.
