On the plains of the Pu Tunnel.

The army of Chu was waiting for it, lined up in a phalanx, and from a distance, it felt like it was full of the west of the plain.

And among the countless Chu State flags and dense Changge, there are not only the chariots of the main general Changping Jun, but also more than 20 trebuchets and other large equipment behind the army.

"Changpingjun, the Qin army is here!"

Qu Yi looked at the east of the plain, and the mighty Qin army marched forward, turned his head to look at Changping Jun and said.

Changping Jun didn't need to be reminded by Qu Yi at all, standing on top of the chariot, his eyes were already looking at the Qin army coming from afar.

Looking sideways at the delicate wooden box in the hands of his cronies, Changping Jun turned his head and looked at the Qin army with his eyes, his expression could no longer be suppressed, revealing a hideous demeanor.

"Bai Yan! I will kill them! ”

As Changping Jun spoke, he looked in the direction of Qin Jun, and the face of Bai Yan in the past came to mind.

Thinking of Bai Yan, Changping Jun even paused slightly to breathe, and his eyes were full of resentment as he gritted his teeth.

"Array!"

Without too much hesitation, not even the idea of sending a messenger, Changping Jun directly ordered to prepare a formation and engage the Qin army.

At this moment, Changping Jun may only have revenge in his mind.

In the army of Chu.

Accompanied by Changping Jun's order, in an instant, among the Chu army, the sound of drums suddenly sounded, and countless herald scouts wearing Chu armor, carrying order flags, went back and forth between phalanxes.

Qu Yi, Yan Chen, Jin Li, Huang Fang, Xiang Le, Xiang Quan and other Chu generals rode war horses and looked at the Qin army in the distance, and when they found that the size of the Qin army was indeed 130,000 people, they had already decided in their minds that the extra 30,000 people must be Bai Yan's false and suspicious move.

In other words, there were at least more than 30,000 people in the Qin army, all of whom were forcibly recruited by Bai Yan's people, and even slaves.

Thinking of this, whether it was Qu Yi, Yan Chen, Jin Li and others, or Xiang Le and Xiang Quan, they were already eager to try in their hearts, thinking that they would fight and seize the opportunity to lead the Chu army under their command to attack the weak points of the Qin army, so as to defeat the Qin army, kill the Qin general Bai Yan, and destroy the Qin army in one fell swoop.

This is also yesterday, after deciding to fight, Changping Jun decided to use Bai Yan's trickery in the tent at night, after setting up the military formation, so as to do the opposite.

As long as the 30,000 fake Qin soldiers are defeated, the morale of the entire Qin army will definitely collapse, and the morale of the Chu army will definitely be great.

On the Pu Tunnel Plain.

The Chu army was in a phalanx, moving slowly back and forth neatly and regularly, and rows of Chu soldiers, holding long ges and long bows in both hands, came to the designated place of the military formation under the leadership of the generals.

In the state of Chu, the soldiers of Chu may not be as experienced as the soldiers of the Qin State who have been fighting for many years, but in terms of military formations, the Qin army, which has been attacking cities and seizing land, is not as experienced as the Chu soldiers.

Pu Tunnel, three hundred years ago, Qi Jinggong sent troops to attack Xu, when the Qi army arrived at the Pu Tunnel Plain, Xu sent people to sue for peace, Ju, Tan, Gao were also afraid of Qi attack, so they sued for peace.

In the end, the four kingdoms of Qi, Xu, Tan, and Ju formed an alliance in the Pu Tunnel and sent the Ding of the first father of the Qi State.

Three hundred years later.

On this Pu Tunnel Plain, more than 150,000 troops of the Chu State and 130,000 troops of the Qin State met here.

And this time, there will be no more covenants.

As the Chu army continued to move one phalanx after another, in the wilderness east of the plain, among the Qin army, Bai Yan rode a war horse, led a group of Qin generals, looked at the Chu army west of the plain, and then reined in the war horse and stopped.

Behind Bai Yan and a group of Qin generals, the mighty Qin army was like a sea of mountains, as Bai Yan and many Qin generals stopped, in an instant, the Qin soldiers of the Qin army phalanx also stopped in an orderly manner, and then scattered to the left and right.

In terms of battles, among all the generals and generals of the Qin State beside Bai Yan, I am afraid that only Yang Yan can be regarded as a general who can lead the troops in formation.

After all, Yang Yan was born in the Yang family, a famous family in the Qin State, and his father Yang Duanhe was a general in the Qin State, and like Wang Ben, Yang Yan was also a proper famous family, but just like Yang Duanhe and General Wang Qian, they are both generals, but they are all different.

Just like although they are famous, Yang Duanhe is far from Wang Jian in terms of military books, heritage, and their respective views on leading troops, and in terms of cultural governance, Yang's heritage is far greater than that of the Wang Jian family, which strictly abides by the clan rules.

This is also why the famous general of the Qin State, the most important of Yingzheng, is Wang Qian, and in the court of the Qin State, in addition to Yang Duanhe is a general, Yang Xian is also in a high position in the Qin State, and has a large number of "scholars" and "shi" resources.

"The Chu army is about 150,000!"

Yang Yan rode a war horse, looked at the army of Chu in the distance, and whispered to Bai Yan, with some solemnity in his eyes.

Although Yang Yan, as the deputy general of the army, knows the Qin army's battalions very well and knows the current strength of the Qin army, at this time, looking at the military formation of the Chu army opposite, Yang Yan also had to be nervous.

Although Changping Jun was the right prime minister of Qin before, he was like Chang Wenjun, and Changping Jun also had high attainments in leading troops to line up.

Looking at the gradually unfolding military formation of the Chu army, Yang Yan could not find its weak point for a while, not to mention that the Chu army formation he saw now would definitely change because of Changping Jun's order after the battle.

Yang Yan regretted a little at this time, when he came into contact with Mi Nush, Mi Jing and others in the early years, or when he came into contact with Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun, he should have asked for some formations.

If Li Xin is here......

Thinking of Li Xin, Yang Yan sighed.

Looking at Bai Yan beside him, Yang Yan knew now that whether he could win this battle or not depended on how Bai Yan gave orders.

However, thinking that Bai Yan had bluntly said in front of all the generals that he was afraid of Xiang Yan's ability to arrange troops, Yang Yan had already guessed that the battle was not Bai Yan's forte.

"The Chu army has attacked!"

Yang Yan saw that the Chu army took the lead, and in the mighty Chu army, one by one the Chu army phalanxes gradually walked slowly towards the Qin army.

What Yang Yan saw, Bai Yan naturally saw too.

"Drum beating!"

Bai Yan opened his mouth and ordered.

Looking at the army formation of the Chu State on the plains in the distance, Bai Yan had little contact with the formation, but he was not familiar with the arrangement of troops, which did not mean that Bai Yan had no chance of winning this battle.

With the side cavalry and the iron cavalry, the two most courageous cavalry in the north, plus the ironclad battalion, the prisoner battalion, and tens of thousands of Qin army elites, Bai Yan was reckless in this battle, and he was capable of fighting with the Chu army.

However, such casualties were unacceptable to Bai Yan.

Since he couldn't see the weakness of the Chu army's array, he waited until the Chu army itself revealed its weakness.

Thinking of this, looking at the army of Chu on the opposite side, several square formations of Chu soldiers had been sent to slowly advance, Bai Yan slowly pulled out Zhan Lu from his waist, and pointed his sword at the Chu army.

"Front, attack!"

Bai Yan opened his mouth and ordered.

With Bai Yan's order, several waiting herald soldiers instantly harnessed their horses and galloped to the left and right.

A moment later, amid the beating of the Qin army's drums, countless Qin soldiers holding spears seven or eight meters long followed the other Qin army soldiers in the phalanx and walked towards the Chu army together.

Different from other Qin army soldiers, other Qin army soldiers or leather armor, or Qin clothes, and these Qin soldiers who were holding spears and at the front of the army were all wearing Qin armor, whether it was a stomach, a helmet, or even a thigh and arm, they were all tightly guarded.

In every battle, the first soldier of the two armies to fight, the soldier of either side fighting in the front, once there is a rout, it will cause a series of reactions, and even lead to the rout of the morale of the whole army, so all along, the soldier at the front is often the best equipped and most elite soldier of the two armies.

At this moment, nearly 20,000 Qin soldiers walked towards the army of Chu, and behind the endless Qin army array, every other distance, there would be a Qin army general following behind the phalanx.

Seeing that the Qin army was getting closer and closer to the Chu army, at this time, the generals of the Qin army behind the phalanx reached out and pulled out the swords at their waists, and with them, there were countless Qin soldiers in the Qin army's phalanx, and countless Qin soldiers and soldiers were holding Qin crossbows, and they raised their bows and crossbows behind the phalanx, aiming at the direction of the Chu army.

"Put!"

With the roar of a famous Qin army general sounded.

In an instant, countless arrows flashed out in the endless Qin military array on the left and right, accompanied by the rain of arrows falling into the Chu military formation, and soon the Chu military array was injured, and behind the Chu military formation, which had been braving the rain of arrows, one after another fully armed corpses fell to the ground.

At this time, the soldiers of the Chu army also raised their longbows and fired arrows at the Qin army.

If the range of the Qin crossbow is farther than the longbow of the Chu State, and it causes casualties to the Chu soldiers one after another at the beginning, then as the two soldiers and soldiers continue to approach, the advantage of the longbow in the hands of the Chu soldiers begins to be reflected.

Behind the dense phalanx of the Qin army, there were also Qin soldiers who fell to the ground with arrows, were seriously injured or even died tragically.

On the plains.

Whether it was the army of Chu or the army of Qin, the two soldiers finally approached, and with countless spears aimed at each other, at the moment of contact, there was a dense sound of spears colliding, and the soldiers screamed, and countless spears converged in mid-air, stabbing each other with all their might.

As far as the eye could see, there were no less than 40,000 people, all of whom were fighting at close range.

Bai Yan and Changping Jun, as the respective main generals of the Qin army and the Chu army, were also looking at the situation on the battlefield at this moment.

In the cold wind.

All the soldiers on the front-line battlefield are constantly stabbing each other with hideous faces, but fortunately, both sides are wearing protection, and many times they are injured, and the soldiers who really died in battle are not as many as imagined.

Half an hour later, under the stabbing of countless spears, some soldiers with swords also took advantage of the gap between the opponent's strength to look for an opportunity to rush to the opponent's formation, trying to break through the opponent's defense line and tear the opening, so as to occupy the advantage.

It was also at this time that the advantages of the Qin army began to manifest, unlike the well-trained phalanx of the Chu pawns, when they were fighting, the experience gained by the Qin pawns in the battlefield killing completely crushed the Chu pawns.

When the Chu soldiers had not yet tore through the Qin army's defenses, next to the corpses of the Qin soldiers who had fallen to the ground one after another, some Qin soldiers quickly held Qin swords and began to tear apart the Chu army's defense line.

For a time, the Chu army's defense line began to appear slightly weak gaps, although for the thick Chu army's defense line, these gaps were not obvious, but as the follow-up steady stream of Qin soldiers followed, the Chu army's defense line, at a speed visible to the naked eye, began to grow, and the entire Chu army's defense line also began to rout.

"The Qin army is experienced, fighting head-on, and Chu is invincible!"

In the army of Chu, Qu Yi and other generals of Chu also saw this scene, and their faces suddenly changed slightly, frowning, their eyes were full of solemnity, and Qu Yi even looked at Changping Jun on the chariot on the side.

"Change formation!"

On the battlefield, Changping Jun naturally saw this scene, and looked at Chu Pawn's defeat, and did not show the slightest surprise, after serving as the prime minister of Qin for so many years, Changping Jun naturally understood the combat power of the Qin army in his heart.

However, it was precisely because he understood the strength of the Qin army that Changping Jun had already prepared.

With the order of Changping-kun.

In the army of Chu, the sound of drums suddenly changed, and with the Chu pawn ordering the scouts to ride horses, the phalanx of the entire army of Chu began to change, and the part headed by the head immediately went to the front.

The defense line of the Chu army, which was originally in the frontline battlefield, holding spears, retreated one after another in an instant, and under the aggressive pursuit of the Qin army, they once again assembled into a phalanx from a thick defense line with a crowd, but at this time, not all the phalanxes were side by side facing the Qin army.

In the battlefield.

The Qin soldiers, who thought that the Chu army had been defeated, held spears and Qin swords in their hands, and killed the Chu army.

Why do you want to be in the army of Qin, as the pawn who fought with the enemy at the beginning, in addition to orders and equipment, more is that when you are pursuing, you can snatch the head of the enemy general and get the title.

This is also the reason why almost all the soldiers did not hesitate to rush to the front, after all, they stayed behind, among the tens of thousands of Qin army arrays, even if they could defeat the Chu army, no matter how many generals the Chu army had, there would be no one left for them.

"Kill!!"

"Kill!"

In the sound of slaughter, as the Qin army slaughtered towards the Chu army, some Chu soldiers had no time to retreat, and after being alone, they were cut down and fell to the ground by countless Qin troops.

However, just when the Qin soldiers thought that victory was in sight, suddenly after the Chu army arrays were set up, arrows were shot out in an instant in countless Changge defenses.

"Ahh

"Ahh

One by one, the soldiers of the Qin army were hit by arrows, many Qin soldiers wanted to attack, and suddenly a wooden shield was erected under the spear, and what was even worse was that some Qin soldiers and soldiers were killed with the rush, and suddenly found that they didn't know when, on the left and right, were the Chu army array, even if there was a Qin armor defense, they were stabbed by the spears in the front and back, unable to fight back, and finally were assassinated and fell to the ground.

Inside the army of the Qin State.

Bai Yan, Yang Yan and other Qin generals saw that after the Chu army changed formations, countless Qin soldiers attacked, and in an instant, they were coordinated by the Chu army's phalanxes one by one, and they continued to fall to the ground and die.

"Circle Array !!"

Yang Yan was shocked and blurted out.

Looking at the phalanxes of the Chu army, if you look at it individually, the Chu army is indeed a phalanx, but looking at the whole, the military formation of the Chu army at this time is a circular formation, and there are countless dense small phalanxes, all over the circular array.

In Yang Yan's mind at this time, the first thought was the famous, but long-lost Fangyuan Array, it was rumored that this array was created by Sun Bin, and after being killed, Sun Bin was in Qi Country and did not have the opportunity to use it, and after that, the first person to use it was Zhao Kuo.

Thinking of this, Yang Yan turned his head to look at Bai Yan.

"General! At the beginning of Changping, 200,000 Zhao troops were surrounded by the Qin army, Zhao Kuo formed a square circle array with 200,000 Zhao troops, surrounded by the Qin army and has run out of food, sacrificed the array, Bai Qi recognized this formation, only dared to attack, only to defend the main roads in Changping, the Zhao army held for more than 40 days, and then fell because of the lack of food! ”

Yang Yan said to Bai Yan.

At this time, Yang Yan's heart was full of surprise, following Zhao Kuo's death, this array had long been lost, but he didn't expect that Changping Jun would actually use this array right now.

"Fang Yuan Array?"

"Zhao Kuo, Bai Qi?"

Listening to Yang Yan's words, the rest of the generals, whether they were Yan Mao or Busy and the others, all frowned and looked at each other.

Looking at the situation on the battlefield in the distance, it is no wonder that the military formation of the Chu army is so powerful, all the soldiers of the Qin army who rushed into the formation of the Chu army are either dead or wounded, the Chu army is square and circled, and the periphery cannot be broken, and if you enter it, it is like falling into a trap.

It turned out that Zhao Kuo relied on this formation to resist Bai Qi!

Different from the corporals, people, and even officials in the world, these people are all leading generals, and when they talk about Zhao Kuo, they don't despise it in the slightest, thinking of being surrounded and cut off from food, Zhao Kuo can make the Qin army, and even Bai Qi helpless.

In this regard, Zhao Kuo has surpassed the world, most of the generals who lead the army.

At the moment, looking at this square circle array set up by the army of the Chu State, Yan Mao, Yan Yan, Yang Yan and others all couldn't help but look at Bai Yan.

…………………………

Dingtao.

Xiao He was in the mansion, kneeling in the study, looking at the rolls of bamboo slips on it, on the wooden table in front of him at this moment, more than ten rolls of bamboo slips were all spread out, and Xiao He checked them over and over again.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"

A slave hurriedly came to the study, ran to the wooden table, and bowed his hand to Xiao He.

"My lord, grain, there is a merchant who has sent 150,000 stone grain millet!"

The slave was sweating profusely, and said to Xiao He with a short breath.

Xiao He was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately stood up and looked directly at the slave.

"What? 150,000 stones? ”

Xiao He stared at his eyes, looking surprised and puzzled, and then thought of something and looked at the slave.

"Where is the merchant?"

Xiao He stepped forward and hurriedly asked.

The servant shook his head, and then told Xiao He that after the merchant informed him of the location of the grain and millet, he hurriedly walked away, not even leaving his name.

"Who could it be?"

Xiao He walked around the study and shook his head with a puzzled expression.

At this moment, Xiao He couldn't figure out who it was, and he would send so much grain and grass three times and twice, from 50,000 at the beginning, to 50,000 later, and now it is 150,000 stones.

This is by no means something that ordinary forces can take.

Xiao He recalled that in Taoyi before, under Bai Yan's order, he requisitioned grain and grass, but all along, he had almost exhausted his thoughts and means, and only then did he ask for 100,000 stones of grain and grass in the hands of scholars and people in Wei Land, which was still a promise of benefits.

At present, the person who sent the grain and millet has already sent a total of 250,000 stones of grain and grass, and he has not left any names, without mentioning the slightest request.

Who will it be?

Can there be so much grain and millet sent to help the Qin State, but it seems that he doesn't want to be known?

Xiao He couldn't think of who it would be, but vaguely, Xiao He had a hunch that only by telling Bai Yan that only Bai Yan alone could he know who sent grain and grass.

However, no matter who it is, the current delivery of this batch of grain and grass has really solved the urgency of Xiao He and even the entire Qin army in Chudong, without this batch of grain and grass, Xiao He doesn't know where to continue to find grain and grass and continue to supply the Qin army in Chudong.

The consequences of the Qin army's food shortage, Xiao He broke out in a cold sweat when he thought about it.

"Let's go! Take me to see it! ”

Xiao He looked at the slave, raised his hand and said, then followed the slave and left the study.

Xingyang City.

After Yingchuan was incorporated into the territory of Qin, Xingyang, which had a geopolitical topography, became an important hub between Qin, Yingchuan, Wei, and even Qi, with a unique geographical location.

Every day, the businessmen who come to Xingyang are in an endless stream, and the streets are full of traffic.

And in a huge mansion, a man, led by a servant, walked step by step to the courtyard.

"Sister, it's been sent!"

The man said to a woman in a Qin suit, and in front of the woman, a child of about three or four years old was chasing two young maids in the courtyard.

"Hmm!"

When the woman heard the man's words, she looked at the child in the distance, and on her delicate face, her beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of memory, longing, and finally turned into a complicated color.

"Nian'er!"

The man also looked at the child in the distance, and suddenly spoke.

When he saw the child coming, he ran with joy on his face, and the corners of the man's mouth were raised, and his face was full of doting smiles, and he walked towards the child from the woman's side.

Wu Nian, no thoughts, no thoughts, no more thoughts.
