Boom! Boom! Boom!

The drums of war beat like thunder in the sky.

In the Qi army, under the order of the great Sima Tian Chong, the soldiers recruited from the cities of Ju, Jimo, and Changguo began to launch a tentative attack on the Qin army.

Among these three cities, Ju and Jimo were the last two cities of Qi when the Five Kingdoms invaded Qi. Changguo is the fief of King Yanzhao to Changguo Jun Leyi.

After a short period of training, they have good combat effectiveness, just as the vanguard to charge the battle, and drive the fighting spirit of the follow-up soldiers.

At this moment, the Qi army opened the way with chariots, and the infantry followed, rushing towards the Qin army.

"Shoot!"

On the other side, the generals of the Qin army saw that the Qi people were approaching, and they had entered the firing range, and immediately issued an order to shoot.

At the front of the Qin army's formation, unarmored lightly armed crossbowmen launched a series of shots.

In an instant, ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and dense arrows flew into the sky and fell like raindrops.

In the charging Qi army, a miserable cry sounded.

Many Qi pawns wailed and fell to the ground, and then they were trampled by the robe behind them.

However, after carrying this rain of arrows, the chariot of the Qi army had approached the front of the Qin army.

The chariot charged head-on, not for the purpose of killing.

Instead, the sacrifices of these chariots were used to force the Qin crossbowmen to stop shooting, and at the same time disrupt the Qin army's formation, so as to win the battle advantage for the infantry that followed behind.

Sure enough, under the charge of the Qi army's chariots with indomitable momentum, the Qin army's crossbowmen immediately gave up shooting and retreated in the direction of the two wings.

After the crossbowmen, the Qin hoplites, armed with beryllium and halberds and wearing metal armor, stepped forward to resist.

The two armies of Qin and Qi fought each other in short combat, and the infantry soldiers of both sides began to fight.

At the same time, the chariots and horsemen on both wings of the Qin army, after receiving the order to attack, rushed out from both sides, intending to flank the Qi army.

The Qi army also saw the move, and the two-wing chariots also galloped out to engage the Qin army.

"Qi people are in good spirits."

Zhao Tuo lived on a slightly higher ground in the rear, looking at the battlefield situation with a solemn expression.

Although the Qi people have not fought for decades and have not been trained, their overall quality is inferior to that of Qin Pawn, but they have just engaged in battle at this moment, and it is the time when they are strong and vigorous.

This is contrary to the original battle of Qin, Chu and Huaishui, at that time, the Chu army under Xiang Yan was all veterans, and the combat experience was much richer than that of the Qi people, but the Chu army suffered successive defeats, and its courage was exhausted, and it was immediately defeated when it encountered disadvantage.

On the contrary, these Qi people in front of them have the momentum of newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, and they are punched up in a mess, which is still a bit imposing.

"Hehe, the ancients called one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion. The fierceness of the Qi people is also in this drum, our army only needs to block the enemy's brave momentum, and wait until the time passes, and the victory will go into the hands of the general. ”

The strategist opened his mouth, his voice full of confidence.

"That's what the gentleman said."

Zhao Tuo agreed, his eyes fixed on the battlefield situation.

The big battle of hundreds of thousands of people, as a coach, you can't be in a hurry at all.

Now that the war has just begun, the two sides have not invested many troops, and they are still in the stage of testing each other, so they must take stability as the top priority, slowly look for fighters, and finally achieve the goal of deciding the victory with one blow.

As time passed, the battle between the two armies of Qin and Qi became more and more intense.

After the Qi army did not break through the Qin army's battle formation, it fell into a stalemate, and then gradually fell into a disadvantage.

The Qi people are composed of five people, the chief is named and the track is long, and the grassroots establishment is the same as that of the Qin army.

But from Zhao Tuo's point of view, it can be seen that there is no mutual cooperation between the troops of the Qi army.

Even the soldiers within one army fought separately, and as the people of one army ran, some ran to the other.

The Qi army is like a virtual and real thing, there is no basic battle formation to speak of, and the scene is very chaotic, not so much a battlefield battle, but more like a group fight.

The battle of the Qin soldiers was according to the configuration during training, with short soldiers in the front and long soldiers in the rear, cooperating with each other, alternating attack and defense.

The military law of the Qin State has a cloud that "the dead cannot be armed, the dead cannot be long, and the body is dead and the family is disabled".

If the Qin soldiers' robes, commanders, generals, etc. were killed in battle, they had to kill the same number and rank of generals of the enemy army to offset the punishment.

This made each of the Qin army closely connected with each other, and Paoze's teammates were rescued immediately when they encountered danger.

And died a robe, even after the chief and the chief. The rest of the Qin pawns were even more red-eyed, and one by one they screamed and pounced on them as if they had killed their parents, and they must hack the other party to death.

In this case, although the number of people fighting between the Qin army and the Qi army was about the same, the combat strength of the Qi army was obviously inferior.

In addition, some Qi people have never seen blood, and when they suddenly saw the scene of flesh and blood flying on the battlefield, they were already frightened, how could they still have the meaning of fighting, and they fought and retreated.

In just half an hour, the Qi army had the tendency to retreat.

"Send Gao Mi and Liaocheng soldiers."

In the rear of the Qi army, Da Sima Tian Chong stood on a small hill, watching the battlefield and ordering more troops to be invested.

The combat effectiveness of the Qi army is not as good as that of the Qin army, which is normal.

"I have a lot of people, so it's not a big problem."

Tian Chong pursed his lips, everything was still under control.

After all, he is 150,000 to 100,000, which is equivalent to 50,000 more reserve troops, and quantity can be used to make up for quality.

Not to mention......

Tian Chong's gaze was on the rear of the right wing of the Qi army, the thousand strong men who were like towers.

Although these 1,000 people sat a little scattered, and it seemed that there was no formation to speak of, their fighting will and combat effectiveness were actually very strong, and the skilled fighters were all brave and strong, which was the real killer weapon of his great Sima.

When the fighter plane appears and is sent to the battlefield, it will definitely surprise that Zhao Tuo!

Sure enough, as Tian Chong began to increase his troops, the momentum of the rout of the Qi army on the battlefield was stopped.

"Hehe, Da Sima can't sit still."

Li Shiqi laughed.

Zhao Tuo did not respond, but ordered 10,000 men to enter the battle and attack the right flank of the Qi army from the northwest.

"Good Zhao Tuo, I didn't send someone to assault you, you came here for this kind of trick. Tian Dan, send Chunyu's soldiers up and block them for me. ”

Seeing that the Qin army had a surprise attack, Tian Chong sneered and immediately ordered to send troops to stop it.

After receiving the order, the first part of the Qi army quickly stepped forward to engage in the battle, temporarily blocking the flank attack of the Qin army, and the entire battlefield fell into a stalemate again.

Attack, defend, raid, counterattack, increase troops, block, ......

Zhao Tuo and Tian Chong fought each other on the battlefield, although every movement of the Qin army could have a great impact on the Qi army, but the Qi army still blocked it by relying on the advantage of numbers.

With the fighting and confrontation on the battlefield, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated at some point, and the sun shone down.

On the ground, black earth and red blood mingled.

Zhao Tuo raised his head and looked at the sky, the sun was not strong, but it was in the middle of the sky, indicating the current time.

He laughed, "It's time to eat the cake." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Tuo turned his head and instructed Li Shang: "Order all departments to let the soldiers eat cakes." When the second and third sons are full and have the strength, they can surprise Da Sima in the afternoon. ”

"Yui."

Li Shang immediately went down, ordered the short soldiers to ride on horseback, and ordered the reserves of all departments in the rear of the battlefield.

"Hahaha, the wheat cakes made by General Zhao are really military gods!"

Li Shiqi took out a cake from his arms and took a bite.

After he swallowed it, he laughed and said: "With this thing, my sergeants can eat one more meal than the Qi army when they are on the battlefield." In the afternoon, Qi was exhausted, and my soldiers were full of food and energy, and it was the time of great victory! ”

Zhao Tuo smiled and nodded.

In this era, except for the nobles and wealthy merchants, ordinary civilians basically had a meal in the morning and evening, and even the army did not eat lunch, and they would not bury the cauldron until they camped at night.

Of course, in some long-distance missions, the army will also prepare some dry food made after exposure to the sun, such as dry rice, for the soldiers to eat when they are hungry.

Zhao Tuo had also eaten that thing, which was not only difficult to chew, but also needed to be swallowed under water, and it was very difficult to digest. How can there be a cake to eat comfortably, and nibbling on a big cake is almost the same as eating a meal.

What's more, those dry foods are troublesome to make, and they need to be steamed before being dried. The Qi army had 150,000 people, and the amount of dry food needed for one meal was huge.

Even the cakes that Zhao Tuo ate for one meal of 100,000 people took a long time to prepare.

Many of the Qi army had just arrived in Zhencheng, and it was estimated that many of the Qi people were hungry at noon.

In this way, this is a huge advantage.

"Bread."

Zhao Tuo opened his mouth, took a cake from the hand of the short soldier, and chewed it.

The taste is a little moist, but it is just right to swallow and digest, and the hungry stomach has been slightly relieved.

Zhao Tuo's gaze moved away from the battlefield of the battle and fell into the military formation behind his house.

I saw that tens of thousands of Qin soldiers who were in reserve all took out bread and ate silently with their heads bowed.

"The Qin army has bread, how can it not win?"

Thank you for your tips and votes, thank you!
