In the early morning of the next day, the sky was full of clouds, and the sun seemed to be intimidated by the murderous aura on the Huaishui battlefield below, and did not dare to raise its head to look around, so it could only hide behind the thick clouds, releasing a little light.

The wind blows across the earth in early summer, waving red and black flags and making hunting sounds.

On the battlefield that stretched for several miles, a total of more than 70,000 soldiers were divided into two teams and confronted each other hundreds of meters apart.

The red-armored Chu army was located in the west, with a total of 40,000 men.

The black Qin army stood in the east, with more than 30,000 men.

Zhao Tuo stood on the chariot with the main general Daxu erected, and raised his eyes to look at the battle formation of the Chu army opposite.

"General, our cavalry has explored the area of more than twenty miles on the south and east sides, and has not found any ambushes of the Chu army."

Shiruma rode over to report that most of his troops had been killed and wounded in the previous defensive battle, and he was no longer able to participate in this big battle, and was now mainly responsible for intelligence and staff matters.

The main force of the Qin army on the battlefield is mainly composed of Feng Wuxue's troops, and the two Qin armies of Meng Tian and Zhao Guang.

Zhao Tuo nodded, looking at the Chu army opposite, especially the red flag flying high, which was the banner of Chu State Ling Yin.

To the north of the Qin army was Huaishui, and to the west was Xiang Yan's Chu army.

After exploring the east and south sides, there were no strange soldiers from the Chu army who were assigned to ambush in advance, and it seemed that Xiang Yan was not cheating, and he was really preparing to fight with the Qin army on the battlefield.

"Righteous soldiers, fight in formation."

Zhao Tuo whispered in his heart, and there was a battle intent in his eyes.

This frontal battlefield command of large-scale troops is actually the first time for Zhao Tuo, it is a test for him, and it is also his last chance to improve himself.

Now the time has come to the last moment for Qin to destroy the Six Kingdoms and annex the world.

After the Qin army destroyed Chu, there was no opponent in the world.

In the Battle of Zhencheng, the State of Qi was punctured into the essence of the paper tiger, so there is nothing to worry about.

As for the remnants of the north, they are even weaker, and a partial division can be pacified.

It can be said that after this battle, at least for many years, Zhao Tuo will not have the opportunity to fight head-on again.

If he gave up fighting with Xiang Yan and cowered in the camp waiting for Wang Qian's army to arrive, he might be able to win easily, but he would also lose this opportunity to make up for his shortcomings forever.

He, Zhao Tuo, will always be an incomplete general.

Command operations on the frontal battlefield will always be his flaw.

And this battle is an opportunity for him to complete his military skills, whether he wins or loses, it is a kind of improvement for himself.

Not to mention that there is Wang Qian's main army to ensure the final victory in this battle, and there are veterans like Feng Wuxuan beside him to assist him, although Xiang Yan on the opposite side is strong, his subordinates are a group of tired soldiers.

Under this advantage, how could Zhao Tuo not dare to fight?

As for the corporaries, their morale was so high that they even exceeded Zhao Tuo's expectations.

"After destroying the Chu army, the Duke will be promoted!"

"Cut Xiang Yan, worship the lord for meritorious service!"

"Follow General Zhao, kill, kill!"

"General Zhao, please take us to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!"

Not only his subordinates of Zhao Tuo, but even Feng Wuxue's more than 10,000 Qin soldiers were all high-spirited, and their eyes were red from excitement.

Nothing more, Qin rejuvenated the country with military merits, and for the low-level Qianshou people, if they want to achieve a class jump, the only way to do so is to kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions. Even if he dies in battle, as long as there is a relatively fair Qin army system that has made meritorious deeds, the title of meritorious service will be inherited by the descendants of the war dead.

Under such a system, there was a description that "the soldiers of Shandong were blinded by the armor to fight, and the Qin people donated armor to meet the enemy, the left side of the head of the people, and the right of the captivity".

By now, even the Qin soldiers at the lowest level have understood that after the Qin State destroyed Chu, Qi and Dai were weak, and I am afraid that there would not be many opportunities for them to make meritorious contributions.

Therefore, when the news of General Zhao's intention to invite the Chu army to fight reached the camp, the entire 30,000 soldiers of the Qin army were all extremely excited.

For most Qin soldiers, this battle was possible

It's their last chance to cross the ranks!

Give it a fight, change the head for the title, and the prince must be a master!

Affected by the belligerent mood in the army, even generals such as Zhao Guang and Meng Tian became full of fighting spirit.

30,000 Qin troops, up and down, the will to fight and morale have reached their peak!

Zhao Tuo's gaze swept over the faces of the red-faced, excited and belligerent soldiers, and his heart became more and more calm and confident.

"Our sergeants seek to fight, and the military spirit can be used."

Zhao Tuo looked at the Chu army on the opposite side again and whispered, "Xiang Yan, what about your soldiers?"

……

"Ling Yin, since the news of the imminent arrival of Wang Qian's army was spread, the morale of the army has been unstable. Except for the 5,000 elites who still have battle accidents, the rest of the more than 30,000 soldiers are cowardly, if they lose this battle, I am afraid they will take the opportunity to break and flee."

Jing Tong walked over and whispered worriedly in Xiang Yan's ear.

Xiang Yan's gaze swept over the soldier's cheek, and he nodded expressionlessly, indicating that he understood.

"We don't have a choice. If Zhao Tuo retreated in the camp, I would not be able to advance or retreat, and eventually lead the army to retreat south and be pursued by him, resulting in a great rout. Or stay here and wait until Wang Qian's army arrives and annihilate me. Now Zhao Tuo has taken the initiative to invite the battle, giving me a chance for a fair duel, as long as Zhao Tuo can be defeated in the front, and our army's morale is boosted, we can slowly retreat south, this is the only way for my Chu army to survive."

At this point, Xiang Yan's voice was suddenly full of confidence.

"Although the morale is low, our army still has the advantage of 10,000 troops, and the old man doesn't believe that Zhao Tuo's military skills can be compared to me. I can't beat Wang Qian, I can't beat him Zhao Tuo."

A cold light flashed in Xiang Yan's eyes.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless.

His son was defeated at the hands of Zhao Tuo that he killed himself with hatred.

How could he not take revenge for this revenge.

Jing Tong nodded in response, then turned his head to look at the Qin army's battle formation that was standing still in the distance and said, "The Qin army has been confronting our army for half an hour, and there is no sign of attack. If the stalemate continues, the situation will not be favorable to our army."

According to the intelligence, Wang Qian's army can reach the vicinity of Huaiyin today, and his infantry should resist the battlefield here on the second day.

But if Wang Jian sends a car to ride over, I'm afraid he will be able to arrive this afternoon. The longer it drags on, the more dangerous the situation of the Chu army will be.

The Chu army could only attack first.

Xiang Yan snorted coldly: "As far as I know, Zhao Tuo is good at surprise attacks and ambushes, and he doesn't have much field experience, so he thinks he wants to defend as an attack. In that case, the old man took the initiative to attack him."

"Beat the drums, march!"

Xiang Yan raised his head and gave an order.

As the war drums of the Chu army were excited, there were also drums beating in the Qin army's camp.

Zhao Tuo stood up and looked into the distance, and could see the dense Chu people surging like a red tide.

The Chu army was divided into three armies: left, center, and right.

The Qin army was also divided into three parts, each with 10,000 people.

Feng Wuxuan was on the left, facing the right army of the enemy Chu.

Meng Tian was on the right, facing the left army of the enemy Chu people.

Zhao Guang was in the center, opposite the Chu army.

Another 5,000 elite troops were in the rear, serving as the main general's escort and reserve.

The battle began, with the Chu army leading with chariots and the infantry following behind them to charge.

The Qin army strictly guarded the formation, and according to its usual tactics, the lightly armed crossbowmen at the front knelt on the ground and launched a series of shots.

When the arrows were lost in the sky, accompanied by bursts of screams, the charging Chu army fell one piece, and even a Chu army chariot was frightened by an arrow on a horse and overturned on the spot.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]

Wearing rhino armor, the car is wrong and the soldiers are ......short-handed."
