Chapter 259: Back to the water
"Involving two or five hundred lords, the Chu army has passed, and no trace of us has been found."
Between the river bank where Liuyi and the Qin army were based, a forest at the junction of several hills.
Shima listened to the scout's announcement and bowed slightly.
Zhao Junhou led 4,000 Qin troops to set up a formation on the bank of Surabaya, and the flag was fluttering, and the momentum was huge.
The attention of the Chu army will definitely be attracted by it, and the pursuit will naturally lack reconnaissance all the way, and it is impossible to detect a little bit that their Qin army's partial division is hidden on the way.
Shiruma's gaze scanned the forest.
This Qin army, including the wounded and prisoners.
and, a thousand bloody warriors.
……
"I've finally caught you!"
The chariot rolled forward, and Zhaoping stood on the chariot, standing by the wheel.
His eyes widened, staring at the army about a mile ahead.
That is the goal of Zhaoping galloping thousands of miles and chasing all the way.
A Qin army of about four or five thousand people was about the same as the number predicted by Zhaoping.
The Qin army had already set up a position on the bank of the wide river, standing opposite the Chu army that had just arrived.
"The Qin army did not launch a surprise attack."
Jing Tong rode a horse and followed the side of the chariot, whispering.
"Count that Qin General's good fortune, if he wants to launch a surprise attack while our army is not stable, I will let him end up with Li Xin."
Zhaoping said with some regret that he had learned a lot from the battle between Xiang Yan and Li Xin, and this time he came, he also guarded against the surprise attack of the Qin army and was ready to deal with it.
It's just that the Qin general named Zhao Tuo on the opposite side is quite cunning, and he didn't rush up stupidly, so that Zhaoping's abacus couldn't help but fail.
But it doesn't matter, looking at the number of opponents, it may be less than 5,000 people, and their own army of 10,000 will be crushed no matter how they fight.
The Chu army, under the command of military officials at all levels, began to form a formation, encircling the Qin army on the bank of the river.
The Qin army on the opposite side still did not move, a pair of eyes silently watched the movements of the Chu people, only a few black flags fluttered in the wind.
"The Qin army wants to rely on those carriages for defense."
Jing Tong looked up at the military array in the distance and made his judgment.
Zhaoping nodded slightly in agreement.
As Jing Tong said, the thousands of Qin troops on the opposite side were all foot soldiers, and they formed a semi-circular battle formation, facing the Chu army, and behind them was a wide and slowly flowing Surabaya.
In front of the Qin army, in front of the first row of Qin soldiers, nearly thirty horseless vehicles were dragged and placed horizontally, surrounding the Qin army's battle formation, as a cover.
It was the carriage that the Qin army had stolen from the city when they attacked Liuyi, and they used these vehicles to provide protection for the Qin soldiers behind them.
With Surabaya on the back and a horizontal cart in front, this is a proper defensive position.
It seems that this Qin army has been driven to a dead end by itself, and it has not broken its offensive momentum with all its might, so it can only make this kind of passive battle formation deployment, in a vain attempt to rely on Surabaya and those carriages as a cover to resist to the end.
But does it work?
Zhaoping laughed.
He stood on the chariot, pointed to the Qin army with his back to Surabaya a mile away, and laughed at Jing Tong and the soldiers on the left and right: "How stupid this Qin general is!"
"This person thinks that with his back to Surabaya, he can shrink his forces to the front and not worry about troops coming from the rear. But he didn't know the art of war, the right side of the mountains, the front left water. The Qin army did not follow the art of war, but turned its back to the water, which is the way to death." ….
"The Qin people have few soldiers, and they will collapse sooner or later under the attack of our army. At that time, as soon as the army is defeated, these Qin people will have no way to retreat, and they will be completely annihilated by our army! This is a godsend!"
In Zhaoping's laughter, the generals of the Chu army couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.
"It seems that the Qin general Zhao Tuo only knows how to use some tricks and use despicable insults to express his grievances, but he doesn't know the right way of war, but I thought highly of him before."
Jing Tong was originally worried that Zhaoping would be angry and bad, but now he saw that the Qin army was lined up with his back, and he committed a taboo
, and I can't help but feel contempt.
The Qin general on the opposite side turned out to be an incompetent person, who could only play some tricks of capturing and defrauding the city and sneaking up on ambushes, but in fact, he didn't know how to fight at all.
Ge Ying, as a short soldier of Zhaoping, stood near the chariot, and at this moment he also heard Zuo Sima's words, and silently wrote them down in his heart.
In battle, do not line up against the water, this is the way to die.
Zuo Sima said it so well, Ge Ying felt that he had learned another trick.
He couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself on how correct his choice was. Becoming Zuo Sima's short soldier, he not only has a higher status, but also can listen to Zuo Sima's teachings from time to time, and he has benefited immensely.
I don't know who said to the Chu pawns around, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and one hundred passed thousands......
In the end, the ten thousand Chu people knew that the Qin army on the other side had committed a taboo, and they couldn't help laughing, and the original fear was a little less, but they couldn't help but feel arrogant.
"Zuo Sima, although the Qin army does not know the art of war and is arrayed against the water, they have rested here for a while, and they have a posture of waiting for work."
"Our army has traveled all the way here, and the soldiers are quite tired. Now that our army has surrounded the other side and has the power to take the initiative to attack, it is better to let the soldiers recover for the time being, and then launch an attack after a while."
Although Jing Tong was arrogant, he still said his suggestions in accordance with the art of war.
"Well, you're a good learner. I have this intention, and I think that the Qin general on the other side also has the intention of waiting for work, so I won't let him succeed."
Zhaoping nodded, as a veteran, he naturally knew the truth clearly, and he would not fall into the trap of General Qin.
While he ordered the Chu army in the front row to stand in formation, in case the Qin army attacked.
On the other hand, he let the thousands of Chu soldiers behind him sit on the ground and rest, and when the energy of the soldiers recovered, he could give an order, and the Chu army rushed up and killed those Qin people without leaving a piece of armor, in order to repay the shame and humiliation that Zhao Tuo gave him before.
On the banks of Surabaya.
The two armies lined up against each other, but no one took the lead.
The Qin army waited for the Chu army to attack.
Chu Jun rested on his own and was not in a hurry.
Zhao Tuo couldn't help frowning, and secretly said in his heart that Zhaoping was worthy of being the Zuo Sima of Chu State, and he really had a hand in marching and fighting, and when he saw his own formation, he did not rush to attack, so that Zhao Tuo's strategy of waiting for work was about to fail.
However, Zhao Tuo is not out of the question.
The so-called thing is man-made, and the enemy does not move, then I will let him move.
Zhao Tuo beckoned the black buttocks and whispered a few words in his ear.
The black buttocks grinned, and his eyebrows fluttered, "Junhou, you are really a cunning woman."
Zhao Tuo's eyes widened.
"No, it's like a god with soldiers, and the army is also a true wise man!"
The black buttocks hurriedly slapped a sycophant, and then walked out of the military formation. ….
Soon, between the two armies, a Qin general strode out.
"I am Zhao Tuo, the commander of the Qin army, dare to ask where Sima An is in the Chu State? Please come out and talk about it."
The Qin general had a very loud voice, even if he stood far away, he still transmitted his voice to the Chu army camp.
Zhao Tuo?
When Shohei heard the name, anger involuntarily welled up in his heart, and he remembered the insulting words carved into the trunk of the tree on the way.
"Drive forward."
Zhaoping gritted his teeth and commanded the emperor.
Jing Tong hurriedly said: "Zuo Sima, the enemy general is quite treacherous, and he suddenly invited, I'm afraid there are other female plans."
Zhao Ping glared at him and said, "What are you afraid of, my army of 10,000 is here, no matter how tricky he is, he will also become a dead corpse in a while." If I don't go, people will think I'm afraid of him."
[Stable operation for many years, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, old bookworms are using.]
Such an insult, if he didn't scold back in front of the army, how could he swallow that breath, he had never suffered that kind of humiliation in his life.
Today, he is going to scold Zhao Tuo to death in public!
When the chariots were between the two armies, they could already see each other.
"You're Zhao Tuo? What an ugly and despicable man, don't you King Qin choose any generals? How can you let this ugly man lead the army into battle, and no one will say that he is blind."
Zhaoping scolded back in one breath, and his heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
But he is not scolding, the "Zhao Tuo" on the opposite side is indeed crooked and cracked, with long legs, short legs and big buttocks, and a few acne on one face, plus he is covered with dirt, which is simply unsightly.
Unexpectedly, when Zhao Tuo heard the scolding, not only was he not angry, but laughed and said, "You Zuo Sima, why is your mouth full of feces smell, Naigong is so far away that it smells of loss of smell in your mouth. I forgot to drink this morning, it really stinks!"
Zhao Ping was dumbfounded, he was a dignified high-ranking nobleman of the Chu State, he was born with a noble stomach, where had he heard such a country scolding, it was simply not like human words, and he couldn't even talk back for a while.
"I heard that your mother is a little maid, just because she ......."
"Zhao Tuo's" mouth was as fast as a crossbow, and a series of swear words flew out with a crackle.
And his voice was loud, and at this moment, the winter wind blowing towards the battle array of the Chu army was blowing again, and he sent that greeting to Zhaoping's parents and ancestors to the ears of every Chu person.
An eerie silence.
The soldiers and soldiers of Chu held their breath, not daring to laugh or make a sound.
Zhaoping's limbs trembled, and if he hadn't held on to the car, he would have fallen off the car in anger.
Blush.
Inflated.
The chest is about to explode.
At this time, the "Zhao Tuo" saw that the time was almost up, and he no longer pretended, and laughed: "Zhaoping, my son, do you think Naigong is Zhao Junhou?"
"No, it's the black buttocks of the male, if you don't believe it, you can see that the buttocks are not black!"
Saying that, the black buttocks really turned around and bowed in front of the Wan Chu people on the other side, reached out and scooped up the hem of the clothes, revealing a black ass to Zhaoping. ….
In the Chu army, some people couldn't hold back anymore and laughed out loud in public.
No one thought that before the war, there would be a pre-battle scolding war.
One laughs, ten laughs.
Ten people laughed, and a hundred laughed.
Although the military judge of the Chu army quickly cut off the heads of a few laughing soldiers and suppressed the laughter, the voice full of sarcasm still reached Zhaoping's ears.
Who can endure such a shameful humiliation?
He is a nobleman, how can he be abused in public by a contemptible husband.
Zhaoping finally understood why the King of Chu had to offer a reward for the black buttocks alone.
This son is so shameless!
What is the art of military warfare, it's all bullshit!
Shohei's eyes were red with anger now, and he just wanted to grab the black buttocks on the other side, hang him up, and poke his ass hard with a thousand spears!
and the Qin army on the other side, all of them have to die!
Leave no room alive today!
Only the blood of the Qin people can wash away the shame that he Zuo Sima suffered today!
"Kill me!"
"The whole army will attack and kill all these Qin people! Not a single one!"
Zhaoping raised his arms and roared, his voice was extremely sharp, and the ears of the piercing people hurt.
The Chu army in the rear was in a big array, Jing Tong and the Chu generals were dumbfounded, they didn't expect Zuo Sima to come forward and answer the other party, and finally evolved into this appearance.
But no matter what, since Zuo Sima issued the military order to attack in public, they could not disobey it.
The drums of war beat from the camp of the Chu army.
The Chu army in the front row instinctively picked up the spear halberd, and rushed towards the Qin army at the water's edge under the call of the military officer.
The Chu people in the rear, who were still resting on the ground, heard the sound of drums and the military order to attack, and hurriedly stood up, because the order to attack was too hasty
, which made the Chu army's battle array look quite chaotic at this moment.
Seeing that the other party was furious, the black buttocks immediately screamed, turned around and ran towards the Qin army battle formation behind.
Behind him was the Chu army, which had launched an attack in a hurry.......
