Liu Bang also returned to the Chinese army surrounded by Zhou Bo, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, and important civil and military ministers, and boarded the nest car, so dozens of Han army wrestlers struggled to turn the winch, and the Han monarchs and ministers and dozens of heralds were raised to a height of more than six zhang in the air, standing on the towering nest car and looking down condescendingly, and the entire battlefield was in full view. 【ｗ.ｗ.cｍ

|I&|】

500,000 Han troops plus 400,000 Chu troops, nearly a million people in the big war, the number of people seems to be a lot, in fact, the entire battlefield is more than ten miles away, the era of cold weapons, the key to victory in the war is to rely on the formation of a joint force, except for the cavalry, a special auxiliary class, the rest of the main arms are very dense. ｓｏｕｄｕ．

Lu Tai was not there, Liu Bang was old and weak, and Zhou Bo became the best candidate for the commander of the Han army.

Zhou Bo turned his head to Liu Bang with an inquiring look, and Liu Bang bowed his head slightly, signaling that he could start.

Zhou Bo immediately raised his right hand and pressed it forward gently, and said in a deep voice: "Order the whole army, swing the arrow!" ”

Under the dispatch and command of the command flag, a group of Han army heavy armor, halberd spearmen, archers and light soldiers began to move, and the cavalry on both wings gradually unfolded, and in less than half an hour, it was placed into a huge sharp array.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Bi Shu's mouth couldn't help but bloom with a faint smile, is it sharp?

In the next moment, Bi Shu gently raised his right hand and stretched out another finger, pointing to the sky, and then said lightly: "Pass the order, a long snake formation." ”

Under the dispatch of the Lingqi, the well-trained officers and men of the Chu army quickly began to move.

In less than half a pillar of incense, the left, center, right, rear, and cavalry of the Chu army slowly stepped forward and spread out with the front army, forming a huge one-word long snake formation.

##########

"It's ...... Is there a long snake formation? Zhou Bo frowned and said in a deep voice, "I haven't heard that Xiang Zhuang'er still knows the formation." ”

"A long snake formation?" Liu Bang asked, "Is it amazing?" ”

Zhang Liang said: "This is just one of the ten basic formations recorded in Sun Tzu's Art of War. ”

"It's actually the formation recorded in Sun Tzu's Art of War?" Liu Bang said awe-inspiringly. "How do I crack it?"

Chen Ping said: "Just pinch its head and cut its tail." Chisel its waist again, and it will be easy to break it. ”

Over there, Zhou Bo has already begun to issue military orders continuously: "The left and right wings of the cavalry are out together, be sure to entangle the two wings of the Chu army, making it difficult for it to save the Chinese army, the Royal Forest Army assaults in the middle, the heavy cavalry follows up, the front army, the left army, and the right army bow and arrow battalions rush forward bow and arrow throwing, and the rear army is heavy and long-distance suppressed." 【ｗ.ｗ.cｍ

|I&|】Catapult Assist Attack ......"

Zhang Liang's heart was slightly cold, although he was not good at commanding, but he had also observed the command of Han Xin, the king of Qi, on the spot, as the saying goes, he had never eaten pork but had seen pigs run, so Zhang Liang could see that Zhou Bo was planning to fight a quick battle, and was ready to use the Royal Forest Army to cut the Chu army's defense line in one fell swoop. Then put in the heavy cavalry to directly attack the Xiangzhuang army!

Zhou Bo is worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield. Grasp the key point of the entire battlefield at once.

Obviously, as long as the Han army breaks through the middle of the Chu army and kills Xiang Zhuang, then this battle will be won, of course, Xiang Zhuang is the monarch of Chu State, and there will inevitably be heavy troops around him, which depends on the combat power of the Han army's heavy cavalry and the Han Imperial Forest Army. Zhou Bo's idea of using troops is actually very simple, but on the battlefield, the simpler the idea, the more terrifying!

Zhou Bo's military order was quickly conveyed, and the huge arrow array began to slowly crush forward.

Time passed quietly in a suffocating wait, and the distance between the Chu and Han armies went from five hundred paces to four hundred paces, then to three hundred paces, and then two hundred paces...... The catapults of both sides began to fire each other first. Throwing huge stones at each other's heads, the infantry on both sides had no way to avoid it, and they could only follow their destiny! Thankfully, the stone bullets thrown by the catapult were terrifying, but their killing range was really limited.

Even if it is a boulder of hundreds of catties, it will kill and injure three or five soldiers at most, which is like a drop in the ocean for a large war of nearly a million people, and it is really not worth mentioning.

However, when the distance between the two sides was less than 200 paces, the catapults of the Chu and Han armies began to fire fierce oil bombs.

The so-called fierce fire oil bomb, in fact, is the burning fierce fire oil tank, due to the limited strength of the clay pot, so it can not reach far, the maximum projectile distance is only two hundred steps, but the killing range of this fierce fire oil bomb is far from ordinary stone bullets can be compared, this clay pot is broken, the fierce burning fire oil splashes everywhere, enough to cover a few zhang radius!

Under the bombardment of fierce fire and oil bombs, the casualties of the Chu and Han armies suddenly increased sharply!

However, no matter how many casualties are miserable, the armor soldiers of the two armies must also hold on to their heads, since they set foot on this battlefield, they are no longer a life, but just an ordinary chess piece on the chessboard, the boss orders them to move forward, they must not retreat, the commander orders them to retreat, they must not take another half a step forward!

When the distance between the two armies was less than 100 paces, the archers of both sides began to fire at each other.

When the two armies were less than twenty paces apart, the spearmen on both sides began to throw spears at each other.

Finally, the heavy infantry of the two sides met in close arms, and the battlefield exploded in an instant with the sound of continuous shield impacts, the sound of sharp blades cutting through the human body, and the tragic wails of the soldiers on both sides before they died.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Han Imperial Forest Army easily broke through the frontal defense of the Chu army's heavy armor, and the Chu army's heavy armor can be described as well-equipped, but no matter how they resisted, they still couldn't stop the fierce offensive of the Han Imperial Forest Army.

##########

The heavy armor of the Chu army was defeated and retreated again and again, but the smile on the corner of Bi Shu's mouth was a little thicker, do you want to chisel my Chinese army and behead it directly? The idea is not bad, but since you have this heart, it will be difficult to cooperate with it in the future.

At that moment, Bi Shu raised his right hand again and said lightly: "Daxu has given the order, and the armies will retreat." ”

Back off?! Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Tuo, Heng Chu and others were instinctively shocked when they heard this, the two armies were already entangled together, and it was not a joke to order the troops to retreat at this time! But soon, everyone's minds recalled another unforgettable battlefield picture, the Battle of the Fall, yes, the Battle of the Fall!

Thinking back then, in the battle of Qixia, Han Xin also ordered the Qi army to retreat when the two armies were entangled in the battle, Xiang Zhuang, Hengchu, and Ji Bu thought it was a mistake, but the final result turned out that it was they who were wrong, although Han Xin ordered to retreat, but the Qi army did not appear chaotic in the process of retreating, let alone be defeated because of this!

But the Chu army swallowed the bitter fruit of the fiasco because it pursued too deeply!

Recalling this unforgettable scene, Xiang Zhuang swallowed the question that spit out to his mouth and swallowed it back into his stomach, Bi Shu was able to defeat Han Xin in the Battle of Surabaya, presumably he would also have Han Xin's ability to retreat without chaos, what did he have to worry about? Be a hands-off shopkeeper and watch the game with peace of mind.

##########

"How dare the Chu army retreat?!" Zhou Bo's thick eyebrows twisted into a ball in an instant.

But soon, Zhou Bo's old face showed a trace of cold murderous intent, Xiang Zhuang'er deceived me for being old?

Guan Ying and Chen Wu generals also looked at each other, retreating before the battle, this is really quite a test of the commander's command skills, as far as they know, in this world, except for Han Xin, the king of Qi, and the Bi Shu that has just emerged in the Chu State, it seems that no one else can do this, is it possible that Xiang Zhuang also wants to challenge?

"Is Xiang Zhuang'er crazy?" Liu Bang also opened his mouth wide in surprise. ..., but a trace of gloom appeared on Zhang Liang's face for a moment, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition, could it be ...... However, Zhang Liang quickly dispelled this idea again, how is this possible? Chen Ping, who was standing beside Zhang Liang, still looked like he didn't belong, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his head.

##########

Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Tuo, Wu She, Bai Lixian and other Chu monarchs and ministers already had cold sweat on their foreheads.

Because the various conditions of the Chu army in the retreat were too dangerous, several times, the Chu army had already been disrupted by the Han army, but fortunately, there was always another Chu army at a critical moment to support from the side, which could block the Han army's front, and then give the defeated Chu army a chance to regroup.

This gave Xiang Zhuang and others the illusion that the Chu army was always struggling on the verge of defeat.

The monarchs and ministers of the Chu State were frightened when they saw it, but Bi Shu's face was still so calm and light.

In addition to Bi Shu, Tie Niu and more than a dozen personal soldiers who were responsible for conveying military orders were also calm, they had all witnessed the duel between Bi Shu and Han Xin, compared to the Battle of Surabaya, Bi Shu is much more calm now, and the speed and frequency of issuing military orders are far from being comparable to the Battle of Surabaya, it can be seen that the general is now relaxed.

##########

As soon as the two armies of Chu and Han retreated and advanced, the formations of both sides inevitably changed.

Unconsciously, the long snake formation of the Chu army evolved into a vague and inconspicuous goose array, and the Han army's sharp arrow array shrank into a huge triangular cone formation, looking down from a high altitude, the entire triangle of the Han army has been surrounded by the Chu army's goose array on two sides, only the bottom edge is still under the protection of the Han cavalry.

However, the Han monarchs and ministers did not notice this vague change.

Whether it is Zhou Bo, or Liu Bang, or Zhang Liang, they only see that under the fierce attack of the Han army, the formation of the Chu army has been completely disrupted, and according to the trick of cracking the long snake formation in the art of war, the Han army has completely realized its intention, because the cavalry on both wings of the Chu army has been completely entangled by the cavalry of the Han army, and the Imperial Forest Army has been completely wedged into the central army of the Chu State.

Now, as long as the heavy cavalry is invested to launch a fatal blow to the central army of the Chu State, the Chu army should be defeated!

Zhou Bo took a deep breath, then slowly pulled out his sword and raised it above the top and pushed it forward, and said in a deep voice: "Daxu herald, heavy cavalry...... Attack! ”
