143 The decisive battle begins!
Xiong Wuliang's 10,000 Chu soldiers were advancing at an unprecedented marching speed.
The longer the delay, the greater the damage caused by the Qi army to the hinterland of the Chu State!
The Chu sergeants set off lightly—they didn't bring anything with them except for five days' worth of food, grass and weapons.
In two days, the army marched 140 miles, and there were basically not too many soldiers left behind...... A record that was unimaginable at the time.
Xiong Wuliang was still not satisfied with this speed, so he ordered his troops to continue to lose weight—the Chu soldiers abandoned their shields and camp tents for overnight stays, and the Shaohu army left behind their heavy armor...... A hundred Shaohu troops were left to take care of the supplies, and the rest of the army continued to advance at a rapid pace.
A normal march would take at least eight days, but Xiong Wuliang's 10,000-strong army took only three days!
Xiong Wuliang sat on the bronze chariot, marching while sorting out the reports sent by the scouts-
"After a day's rest, the Qi army has already marched east along the Huaishui!"
"The Qi army has occupied the three cities along the way, and the front of the army is directed at [Gaoping]!"
"The Qi army has captured Gaoping! Looting is underway! ”
……
Xiong Wuliang frowned tightly - the speed of the Qi army's advance was also very amazing!
On the evening of September 26, the 10,000 Chu army under Xiong Wuliang finally encountered the main force of the Qi army.
The camps of the 120,000 Qi troops were all over the mountains, the purple flags were waving in the wind, and the sound of the training of the Qi soldiers resounded in the sky.
From a distance, in the middle of the Qi army camp, a huge Chinese army flag was waving in the wind.
Shaohu's eyesight is excellent, and he looks at it intently, and there is a faint line of words on the big banner: 'General Daqi'.
The entire battalion was heavily guarded and boundless, and it was really a strong army.
On the other hand, Xiong Wuliang's corporaries, because of the rapid march for several days, were sweating and their steps were vain. Especially in terms of equipment, the vast majority of soldiers only have a lone sword in their hands.
The personnel were also not in order—at least a thousand people were left behind on the road.
The Chu soldiers didn't know Xiong Wuliang's plan, and at this time, looking at the tightly organized Qi army camp opposite, their legs and stomachs were weak.
"This is the 120,000 Qi army camp?"
"My day, how can this be beaten?"
"That little Qu Yangjun is just taking us to death!"
……
Xiong Wuliang ignored the vacillation of the soldiers, he glanced at it, stretched out his hand and pointed to the highest hillside nearby—
"The herald is stationed on this mountain!"
……
"What? The Chu army came so fast! Tian Zhen looked at the soldiers who had entered the account to report the news, was taken aback, and stood up suddenly.
Tian Zhen hurried out of his tent -
Put your hands on the pergola and gaze into the distance.
Really!
In the darkness of night, on the hillside in the distance, there were shadowy figures of Chu soldiers......
"The Chu army is so fast?" Tian Zhen didn't understand, but he was shocked!
Ling Bao arched his hand and said, "General." The Chu army came quickly, and there must be a small number of people. The figure on the mountain is very likely to be the Chu army's suspicious strategy-"
"Depending on the general, it's better to attack immediately! Take advantage of the unstable foothold of this Chu army and destroy them! ”
Tian Zhen thought for a moment and shook his head.
Now that night is falling, and the enemy's situation is unknown, a rash attack is not the way to win.
In case of being ambushed by the people of Chu and breaking the people, the gains outweigh the losses.
It is better to wait until after dawn to find out the situation of this Chu army and then make a decision.
It's not bad for this night's work!
Thinking of this, Tian Zhen issued an order: "Don't act rashly - pass the order, send more sentry agents, and strictly prevent the Chu people from attacking at night." ”
"Wait until tomorrow dawn before you make plans!"
Ling Bao surrendered his life.
This night, Tian Zhen slept very unsteadily.
In his calculations, it would take at least twenty days for the army of Chu near Fu Lisai to appear in front of him.
Now that the people of Chu are coming quickly, Tian Zhen has a feeling that the situation is out of control.
In the camp of the Qi army, there were also doubts about this sudden appearance of the Chu army, and all kinds of bizarre speculations and rumors were quietly passed on in the camp - the Qi soldiers slept very restlessly this night.
Fortunately, the night passed quickly, the sky was white, Tian Zhen hurriedly put on his armor, walked out of the camp, and looked at the opposite mountain-
Tian Zhen rubbed his eyes, first surprised, and then laughed wildly!
"What kind of Chu army, it is clearly a rabble!"
The number of people who came was quite large, and it was estimated that there were nearly 10,000 people.
However, how can a mere 10,000 people stop the 120,000 Qi army?
It's like a 0/23/0 braised egg, entering the wild area alone, provoking the 20/0/3 Lanling King......
This horse is here to give away people's heads!
After Tian Zhen laughed a few times, he looked carefully for a while, and his smile became even brighter.
The Chu army on the opposite side did not camp on the road in front of them, but got out of the way and stationed on the mountain on the side.
This posture really makes Tian Zhen incomprehensible!
This hillside is nothing more than a barren and lonely mountain, and there is not even a mountain spring - even if Tian Zhen does not attack, as long as this mountain is surrounded, the tens of thousands of Chu people on the mountain will be cut off from the water source.
What did the Chu general on the other side think?
Kicked in the head by a donkey?
Tian Zhen squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't see the words of the flag on the mountain clearly. He stabbed Ling Bao beside him: "What is the name of the Chu general on the other side?" ”
Ling Bao operates a boat on the water all year round and has good eyesight. He stared at it for a long time, and then read it word by word—
"Chu ...... Quyang Junliang? Ling Leopard muttered.
Tian Zhen is like being struck by lightning!
"You read that right??"
This name is no stranger to him!
A year ago, this person did not speak of martial virtue in [Yushan], and openly tortured and killed Tian He, the eldest doctor in the Qi Kingdom.
Not long ago, it was this Quyang Jun Miliang who once again did not talk about martial arts, interspersed with surprise attacks, and captured Fu Lisai, causing 30,000 Qi soldiers to spill their blood in other places......
Now it's happening again!
Tian Zhen narrowed his eyes, and a strong killing intent surged in his heart - since you bumped into Ben Shuai's face, then you are unlucky!
Today, we will definitely chop off this person's head and pay tribute to Jiang Yu and the 30,000 Qi Kingdom heroes who died in battle!
Hum!
Mi Liang, you came very quickly, which was beyond Ben Shuai's expectations...... But Ben Shuai has an army of 120,000 under his command, what are you going to fight with me?
Tian Zhen looked up to the sky and laughed: "Out of the camp, line up!" ”
"Tell the three armies - the one on the mountain is Qu Yangjun of the Chu State, cut off his head, and the reward is one thousand!"
If Xiong Wuliang on the mountain knew about Tian Zhen's reward, he would definitely scoff at it-blanch, you want to buy labor and capital for a thousand gold? You look down on me too much!
Xiong Wuliang can't look down on a thousand gold, but for the Qi soldiers at the bottom, a thousand gold is definitely an unimaginable huge amount of money!
As soon as Tian Zhen gave the order, the eyes of the Qi soldiers glowed green, and their morale was greatly boosted. I couldn't wait to rush up immediately and cut off Xiong Wuliang's head and come back to receive the reward.
The 120,000 Qi troops marched out of the camp and set up twelve huge phalanxes on the river beach. I saw flags flying, chariots in columns, gongs and drums, bright armor, and extraordinary momentum.
Tian Zhen waved his hand and said concisely: "Beat the drum, make an appointment!" ”
