Chapter 124: Formation (1st Shift)
Outside the north gate of Chen County, there is a flat grassland.
At this time, 30,000 black-armored Qin troops were neatly arranged on the grassland, with 5,000 crossbowmen in the back and 20,000 hoplites in front.
A thousand Qin army scouts, wandering outside the Qin army formation, riding horses with swords, rolled up the dust and sand in the sky.
Above the north gate, Zhang Chujun, who was nervously guarding, was a little pale, and his heart was beating a drum, the momentum of this Qin army was so terrifying.
Chen Sheng led the generals to step on the city wall, watching the situation of the Qin army from a distance, and his brows couldn't help frowning, since the tens of thousands of Qin troops did not see a trace of chaos, the formation was as strict as a whole piece, although the Qin army did not shout loudly, but he could feel from a distance that the Qin army's crazy fighting spirit from the heart, and the self-confidence that destroyed everything.
Next to him, Cai Ci also frowned, and said, "King, the Qin army is powerful and invincible. ”
Later, after Liu Bang watched the formation of the Qin army, his eyes were even more jealous, and he opened his mouth to persuade: "King, you see that they don't have siege weapons, they obviously want to fight with the king, and the king can't be fooled." ”
Chen Sheng didn't speak after hearing this, but there was a contemplative look in his eyes, now he has more soldiers and horses than the Qin army, if he doesn't go out of the city to destroy his morale, how can he swallow the Qin army's insults for days, and Zhao Jun's anger at sending women's clothes?
Liu Bang looked at Chen Sheng's expression beside him, thinking anxiously in his heart, the Qin army was so majestic, he didn't want to take risks, if Chen Sheng fought with all his might, what should he do?
At this time, Liu Bang turned his gaze to the east of the Qin army's array.
In the east of the Qin army array, more than 30 zhang away, there is a high slope, there are a thousand Qin troops on the high slope, they are also arranged in a phalanx, surrounded by a black big Xu, on the book bucket a big Qin character, fluttering in the wind.
Under the big sword, there is a wide handsome chair, Zhao Jun is sitting on it wearing Mingguang armor, his calm face has a pair of black eyes as deep as water, he is not shocked, and he has a bearing to control the whole army.
Behind the handsome chair are Bo Lang and Hu Hai, and the war drums and trumpeters are also behind, and in front are two columns of iron guards on the left and right, lined up, and the leaders of the four iron guards are in front.
In addition, there is also a movable platform at the front, on which stands the flag bearer, and dozens of scouts stand around, and Zhou Chang is also among them.
Later, Hu Hai said: "Second brother, why doesn't Chen Sheng fight?" And Yingbu and Lu Ze, I haven't seen them since I left the army in the morning? ”
"He'll show up." Zhao Jun smiled faintly, and then said to Zhou Chang: "Zhou Chang, you go and give an order, let the baby irrigate them add fire." “
"No!" When Zhou Chang heard this, he immediately mounted his horse and galloped towards the Qin army array on the middle plain.
Descending the high slope, Zhou Chang went straight to the front of the phalanx, and Guan Ying was standing on horseback.
"General Guan, Master Hou asked you to add fire to Chen Sheng." Zhou Chang said on horseback.
"Heat up? Yes, I see. The corner of the baby's mouth suddenly grinned, and when Zhou Chang heard this, he also beat his horse and ran up the high slope again.
As soon as Zhou Chang left, Guan Ying turned his head and gave instructions to the guards, and after the guards listened, they turned their heads and ran to the formation, giving orders layer by layer, until Cao Wu was injured at the rear, and he came back after a while.
Seeing this, the baby suddenly raised his hand.
I heard 25,000 people suddenly shouting at the same time.
"Chen Sheng's woman wears a dress and hides in the city with a turtle with a shrunken head."
"Chen Sheng's woman wears a dress and hides in the city with a turtle with a shrunken head."
"Chen Sheng's woman wears a dress and hides in the city with a turtle with a shrunken head."
The shouts of the 25,000 soldiers were like thunder, resounding through the sky, and even the people in the city could hear them clearly.
"What is Qin Jun calling, it seems to be scolding the king."
"Isn't the king a man? When did you wear a woman's dress? ”
"This is Qin Jun, humiliating the king."
For a while, the people in the city couldn't help but talk, and at the same time they were afraid that the city would be broken by the Qin army, and even the soldiers in the city began to talk to each other, when did King Chen wear a woman's dress?
A few people around him were also angry, and at the same time there were some other meanings, even Liu Bang looked at Chen Sheng suspiciously, could it be that Chen Sheng really had this hobby.
"Damn!" Chen Sheng blushed in front of the city gate, his forehead was bruised with anger, and finally he almost gritted his teeth and said: "Come on, pass the order, the whole army will attack, and you must kill the Qin army alone!" ”
Cai Ci's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "King, no, the Qin army is strong, and it intends to provoke me to fight, I'm afraid that I can't win lightly, it's better to rely on the city wall to hold on." ”
"Shut up! Whoever dares to stop Lone will die. Chen Sheng shouted angrily, and then said: "The Qin army is only twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses, but our army has as many as 50,000 soldiers and horses. ”
As the king, Chen Sheng is far more worried than others, in fact, since he sent all kinds of soldiers and horses to fight, his control over all kinds of soldiers and horses has been faintly weakened, so he must not only win this battle, but also win the beauty and win the might, otherwise the prestige will fall greatly, I am afraid that it will get out of control.
"King" Cai Ci looked bitter, in fact, he also knew Chen Sheng's difficulties, which they didn't expect when they started to deploy the strategic plan.
Chen Sheng's resolute face suddenly fell, and he sighed and said: "Zhuguo, this time I have to bother you to dispatch in the center, this breath, you can't swallow it alone no matter what." ”
Cai Ci's face was sad and indignant, and he said with a hint of determination: "Don't worry, the king will definitely try his best to report his death." ”
At this time, Liu Bang saw that Chen Sheng insisted on going his own way, so he spoke: "King, I can transfer 3,000 soldiers and horses to help the king, and the other 7,000 men and horses should stay in the camp, and at the same time prevent the Qin army from taking advantage of the situation to sneak attack the east gate." ”
"Well, Lone is sending Deng Shuo and Wu Xu to each take 2,000 people to the west gate, these two gates are steep outside, which is not conducive to the development of the army, and there are 2,000 people to guard it, and the east gate will be handed over to Pei Gong."
Chen Sheng may not know that Liu Bang wants to preserve his strength, but Liu Bang is different from his other subordinates, he only obeys himself nominally, and he can send 3,000 soldiers and horses to help, and it is already very good to help on the flanks.
Soon, Cai Ci took the generals down to arrange, because the soldiers and horses of the various departments to support could not be mixed and matched, so in order to ensure coordination, Cai Ci divided the front, rear, left, right, and middle five parts of the soldiers and horses who went out to fight, Deng Zong's son, Deng Xu's 5,000 men and horses for the front army, Lu Chen and Zhaoping's 4,000 men and horses for the left and right army, and finally Liu Bang's 3,000 men and horses for the rear army, Cai Ci personally led the main force of 25,000 men and horses in the center, leaving 5,000 men and horses to defend the city with Chen Sheng.
Here, Liu Bang came down to the city wall, and hurriedly returned to the military camp to transfer people and horses, and asked Fan Hao to take 3,000 people to aid Chen Sheng, and found Zhang Liang by himself, and told him what happened on the city wall just now.
After hearing this, Zhang Liang said: "Chen Sheng's difficulty is that the Zhao army has also calculated, so the whole army will go to battle today, but we can make preparations with both hands, if the battlefield situation is stalemate, our side will send troops to quietly attack the Zhao army's camp." ”
Liu Bang's face turned happy after hearing this, and he slapped his thigh and said, "That's it." (To be continued.) )
