Chapter 400: Wind Forest Volcano
The dawn broke in the east, but the entire Chu army camp was still immersed in silence.
On the towering watchtower, two Chu army sentries stood in the wind with swords on their shoulders, their vigilant eyes constantly patrolling the dark wilderness outside the gate, as if they wanted to find something out of the endless darkness.
At one moment, the short sentry's ears twitched twice, and he turned his head and asked the tall sentry, "Listen?" ”
The tall sentry listened for a moment, but heard nothing at all, and then asked blankly, "Where?" ”
The short sentry ignored it, but his ears turned strangely twice, and then his face changed greatly: "Great army, I heard the footsteps of the large army, and a large number of enemy troops are approaching!" ”
"It can't be!" The tall sentry didn't believe it, "There really is an enemy army, why don't the scouts report back?" ”
The tall sentry's voice fell, and a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded under the night sky in front of him, and then more than a dozen light horsemen of the Chu army galloped out of the thick black curtain, and while galloping in front of the gate, they shouted at the sentry on the watchtower: "The army of Qi and the army of Huainan have been killed together......
"Quick, blow the trumpet." The tall sentry shuddered, and when he looked back hurriedly, he saw that the short sentry had already raised a heavy bull's horn, and in an instant, the low and distant horn horn had already rushed into the sky, and the Chu army camp, which was still immersed in silence just now, was in an instant and noisy, and the battle ...... It's coming.

When Yu Ziqi, Zicheshi, and Xi Qilie came to Bi Shu's big tent together, they unexpectedly found that the curtain of the big tent had already been lifted, and when they looked inside through the open curtain, they were even more surprised to find that Bi Shu had been extremely rare to put on the luxurious armor of the general. He was kneeling behind the desk with a look on his face.
Yu Ziqi wondered in his heart, but he still entered the account proudly and clenched his fists and said: "General." The army of Qi is coming! ”
"And the Huainan Army." The sub-chauffeur followed into the account. As he saluted, he said, "Yingbu finally couldn't hold it anymore. ”
Xi Qilie finally entered the tent, snapped his fists and shook Bi Shu, and asked loudly, "General." To fight or not to fight? ”
"Fight, of course." Bi Shu returned the salute. Then he said in a calm tone, "The army of Qi and the Huainan army are coming violently, how can our army show weakness?" "Say this. Bi Shu said in a light tone. "Great Chu established the country by force, and the Chu people are even more martial, we are not afraid of war, we are afraid of not fighting!"
"Okay, the general's words are uplifting." Xi Qilie slammed the knots and said in a cruel voice. "The last general has long been looking forward to fighting a fierce battle with the Qi army and the Huainan army, his grandmother's. Today is finally here! ”
Yu Ziqi and Ziche Shi were also cold-eyed, and it was obvious that the two of them were also eager to fight.
Bi Shuxin pulled out three arrows from the case and shouted: "Yu Ziqi, Zicheshi, and Xi Qilie listen to the order!" ”
"The last general!" The three of them hurriedly stepped forward and responded violently.
Bi Shu threw the three arrows to the three of Yu Zi Qi respectively, and then ordered: "Yu Zi Ji is the main general, Ziche Shi and Xi Qilie are the deputy generals, each leading 50,000 horses out of the camp and lining up to meet the enemy!" ”
The three of Yu Ziqi stretched out their hands to catch the arrow, but they looked at each other, leaving 50,000 horses to garrison the camp, which is understandable, but the army of Qi and the army of Huainan came to attack together, and the general did not come out of the horse? Is it really so important to defend a big camp? Could it be that there is still a Qi army or a Huainan army that will come to attack the camp?
Bi Shu didn't explain too much, waved his hand, and said, "Go ahead." ”
"Whoa!" Yu Ziqi, Zicheshi, and Xi Qilie suppressed the doubts in their hearts and took the order.

Outside the Chu army camp, the Qi army and the Huainan army have joined forces.
100,000 Qi troops and 100,000 Huainan troops, the entire wilderness was completely covered by the tide of soldiers in an instant. ..., Yingbu left the army and only came to Qi ** with Kui Che, but what disappointed him was that he did not see Han Xin in the army, he only saw a child, and a white-clothed Xiu Shi in his early thirties.
Seeing the ceremony, Qi Bu asked Han Yu, "Prince, where is King Qi?" ”
Han Yu smiled reservedly, and replied loudly: "My father has other military affairs, but before leaving, I repeatedly told him that the king of Huainan is a famous general in the world, and in this battle, my army of Qi will listen to the king of Huainan!" ”
"Other military affairs?" Yingbu's eyes lit up in an instant, obviously, Han Xin came up with some conspiracy and tricks, the battle of Chencang, the battle of Pusaka, the battle of Jingcheng, the battle of Weishui and the battle of Qixia, it is better to be, Han Xin's tricks are always unguardable, this time, Bi Shu'er is in trouble!
Han Yusu pointed to the nest car that had been set up, and said, "King Huainan, please." ”
"In this way, the widow is not welcome." Han Xin is not there, the two countries' coalition forces are commanded by Yingbu, and Yingbu boarded the nest car at the moment, and said to Han Qi and Zhao Yan: "Prince, Zhao Junshi, please also get on the car together, assist the widows, and join forces to break the enemy. ”
Han Yan and Zhao Yan naturally did not refuse, and they also got on the nest car at the moment.
When Kuaiche was the last to step on the nest car, a Qi army wrestler closed the door and locked it, and then turned around and waved, and the other four wrestlers who had been waiting for a long time began to struggle to turn the winch, and in the rattling sound, the nest car car slowly rose up to the sky, and the situation of the entire battlefield gradually appeared in front of everyone.
Looking around, I saw that the flags in front of me were like a sea, spears were like a forest, tens of thousands of Chu troops had already set up a formation, and more Chu army armor soldiers were surging out of the gate, constantly merging into the huge army array, at this moment, there was no other existence between heaven and earth except for the ocean of ant colony-like armor on both sides.
Yingbu's expression was calm, he had seen a bigger battle than this.
Han Yu's face was flushed with excitement, but he also had some regrets in his heart that his father didn't let him command such a large-scale battle, but handed it over to the old man Yingbu.

Yu Ziqi's expression was indifferent, and he was slowly rising into the air with the nest car.
Looking down, at his feet, a group of Chu army heavy armor is slowly moving forward in a neat queue, these Chu army heavy armor is tall and strong, all of them are wearing black scale iron armor, they are holding a square shield covered with iron in their left hand, and holding Leng Sensen's ring knife in their right hand, like a moving steel city wall, which is slowly crushing forward.
On the left and right flanks of the hoplites, there were groups of light cavalry with bows and spears.
Looking back again, rows and rows of spears and long ges pierced the void, forming a large endless forest of spears, and finally rows of archers with longbows and quivers on their backs, but the army of hundreds of thousands was like a whole, marching slowly forward in an orderly manner according to the usual training, and it was like a forest!
There were no horns, no war drums, and no hysterical roars, but Yu Ziqi clearly felt the cold and endless aura of slaughter, and the Chu army keys were all ready......
Finally, the last group of archers poured out of the gate and merged into the big array.
Yu Ziqi raised his right hand lightly, and the pro-soldiers behind him quickly raised a penangular flag, and the Chu army suddenly sounded one after another in the large array, and the Chu army that was slowly moving forward stopped one after another, whether it was heavy infantry, or spearmen, archers or light cavalry, all stopped, not moving!
Ahead, a larger array of troops formed by the Huainan Army and the Qi Army was still advancing.
Suddenly, the distance between the two sides was less than two hundred steps, and in the coalition formation, with Yingbu's order, a team of archers quickly trotted forward, stood behind the heavy infantry, and then pulled their bows and released arrows while walking forward, sprinkling a rain of arrows into the sky in front of them. ..., but the army of Chu still stood still.
Yu Zi period did not issue a military order to the archers to shoot, two hundred paces away, the killing effect of the projectile is not good, in addition to being able to take the lead and cause a certain morale bruise to the enemy, it can only consume the physical strength of the arrows and archers in vain, and the Chu army does not need to rely on this to take the lead in the first place, not at all.
Arrows rained down, there were constantly soldiers who were hit by arrows, soldiers who kept falling to the ground, there were mourning, there were moaning, but there was no panic, and the 150,000 Chu soldiers did not move, not moving like a mountain!
Moments later, the two countries were less than 100 paces apart.
Under the extremely expectant gaze of the herald, Yu Ziqi finally gave the order, only to see him raise his left and right hands at the same time, and then clenched into a fist and swung it forward.
After a pause, Yu Ziqi raised his right hand again and pressed it gently.
In an instant, the light cavalry on the left and right wings began to move forward slowly, the horse's head was rushing, the iron hooves were churning, first slowly, then quickly, then trotting, and finally running, in less than a moment, the cavalry on both wings had formed two cavalry torrents, and swept away like a storm towards the left and right wings of the coalition army with a monstrous momentum, and it was as fast as the wind!
Almost at the same time as the cavalry attacked, the archers in the rear also trotted up behind the heavy infantry, and then took advantage of the cover of the infantry shield, and continuously pulled their bows and arrows forward.
The rain of arrows fell, and the coalition forces suddenly resounded with a continuous wail.
Without waiting for the archers to shoot ten arrows, Yu Ziqi's hands were already flat on his chest, and then stretched out to the front, and the two heralds standing behind Yu Ziqi quickly raised the two blood-colored pennant flags on the nest car, and the blood-colored order flags came out, then the whole army moved forward, the blood did not dry, and there was no truce!
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of Chu army officers and soldiers were like a flood that broke the embankment, crushing the coalition army dozens of steps ahead in the shouts of overwhelming mountains, its momentum was like a fierce fire, unstoppable, and the invasion was like fire!
