The Qin people seemed to have decided that the Wei army did not dare to take the initiative to attack, and this day was delayed until noon, causing the Wei army, who was waiting for the battle, to wait for a morning and spend a lot of physical strength. Jin did not dare to waste his military strength in vain, so he let the soldiers temporarily enter the camp to rest for a while. Just when the Wei army was resting to the point of drowsiness, the Qin people went into battle.

Jin Contempt came down from the watchtower and said, "Beat the drums and array!" So the drums beat loudly, and the military envoys came out in all directions to convey orders. Xin Lingjun was about to go back to the camp, but Jin Cong stopped him and said: "Since the formation has been arranged, there is no order to enter and exit the north!" May you not disobey it. ”

Xinling Jun said: "I was about to watch the Qin people fight, but I couldn't stay for a long time!" ”

Jin Wei pointed to a high-gate compound next to him and said, "You can also look at it!" "Climb to the door with Shinling-kun.

This family is obviously a wealthy family in the surrounding area, not only building a courtyard wall, but also building a high-rise building on the front and back doors, although it is not as good as a watchtower, but it also has a wide horizon. The former general ran away and followed up to the gatehouse, and watched from afar.

In this place, it is naturally much clearer than in Huayang City, in addition to the dust, you can also vaguely see the figure of the Qin people. In particular, I can clearly see the soldiers of each battalion out of the battalion. Xin Lingjun looked at the right flank, he could clearly see that the two battalions of the rear army were also nervously arrayed, and he could even distinguish that the front was Si Sheng's troops, and then Sikong's troops and Liang Weigongzi's troops, and he also saw the carriage, where Zhang Yu and other disciples were.

The former general exclaimed: "Extreme! "About 200 paces away from the first-line position of the Wei army, the Qin people first occupied the north and south sides with the banners, and then the banners of various colors were erected in turn, and it seemed that only for a moment, the rumbling Qin army stopped abruptly behind the formation flags, as if they had come out of the dust.

When the dust settled, the formation of the Qin people was completely presented in front of everyone. Doctor Jin said suddenly: "The Qin people want to attack the king!" ”

Xin Lingjun looked at Jin Contempt suspiciously, not knowing what to say. Jin said contemptuously: "The Qin people gathered troops in the south and thinned to the north. When the first attack on our rear army reinforcements. ”

Xinlingjun looked at it in turn, and vaguely saw some famous halls: the south side of the Qin people seemed to extend further south than the Wei people. When the sergeant occupied the flag gates on both sides, this was not very obvious due to the viewing angle; But when the front was filled with soldiers, this became apparent.

Sure enough, the drums on the Qin people's position were loud, and the southernmost Qin army lined up in a horizontal line to press on the Wei soldiers. It became clearer and clearer that the southern flank of the Qin extended at least a mile beyond the Wei army, and now, from south to north, like a left hook, was outflanking the two battalions of the rear army, which were hanging outside the defensive positions. The two battalions consisted only of grass-built barracks—in fact, a few piles of branches, deep ditches, and earthen walls.

Jin Contempt hurriedly called a military envoy and ordered: "Order the two battalions of the rear army to slowly retreat to the middle army camp." ”

He also called an envoy and ordered: "Order the battalions of the Chinese army to move their camps to the south." ”

Then the corresponding order was issued with a banner.

The Qin people advanced extremely quickly, and the distance of two hundred steps had already gone one-third of the time when Jin Cong issued the order. Xin Lingjun could clearly see that the soldiers of the front team led by Si Sheng had already squatted, and it seemed that they were preparing to release arrows. Xin Lingjun turned his eyes to the envoy and saw that the envoy was running wildly, but judging by his speed, he would not have rushed to the camp before the battle began.

With the desperate efforts of the military envoys, when he entered the barracks, Si Sheng had already commanded the troops to shoot the first arrows. He had only two hundred and fifty men with crossbows, and he was still a hundred paces away, and the casualties caused by the arrows he shot were not significant. But the drums in the Qin army's formation stopped, and the huge formation of the Qin army stopped. The Qin people were mobilizing within the line of sight, obviously preparing to shoot back.

Zhang Yu heard the order and ordered the bell to ring. Si Sheng took advantage of the situation and ordered the whole army to retreat. As soon as he withdrew twenty or thirty steps, the Qin army's overwhelming arrows came over. However, the Wei army had already retreated beyond the firing range, and only a few people were hit by the stray arrows that rebounded, which did not affect the action, and they all retreated with the team.

The drums sounded again, and the Qin people stood up and continued to move forward. They marched fifty paces at a normal pace, and by the time they approached the front line of the attack, the Wei army had already retreated a hundred paces at a brisk pace. Seeing that the distance between the two armies had been widened, and it was not far from the flank of the front army with a preset position, Xin Lingjun secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

However, Zhang Yu and others did not retreat to the preset position, but moved their troops to the west, and after exiting the outflanking range, they stopped and lined up; If the Qin army launched an attack on the preset positions on the Wei army's flank, this force would be in a position to threaten the Qin army's flank. Seeing this transfer, Dr. Jin sighed: "It's Ziye, Tongbing!" ”

Sure enough, this transfer made the rumbling advancing Qin army stop again and began to mobilize troops to organize the defense of the flank. At this time, there were also soldiers of the Chinese army who drove out one after another, and lined up three or five miles behind Zhang Yu and others.

The formation of troops here lasted for some time. Xinlingjun, who was standing on the gatehouse and watching, had a full view of all the movements of both sides.

There is nothing more conducive to enhancing combat experience than witnessing the confrontation between the two sides at the intersection point, especially from such a close-range, high-angle, global overlook. Shinlingjun felt that he could almost feel the dialogue between the two sides through the transfer of the two sides.

No one ventured to attack anymore, and both sides were careful to patch their own flaws and not give the other a chance.

Doctor Jin gave the order: "The battalions on the left flank of the front army move forward. The former general relayed the order, and the envoy left. Jin Contempt was a little excited and pointed at the former general: "As soon as the general comes out, the Qin people will retreat!" ”

The general of the front army nodded, ordered the middle battalion to go out of the camp, occupy the position first, and occupy the territory for the subsequent armies, and his own banner moved out of the camp with the middle battalion. The former army will naturally not go out into battle, and it is his capable retainers who stand under the banner and are in charge of command. This retainer also seemed to be proficient in the art of war, and the position he occupied happened to be aimed at the other wing of the Qin people.

From the middle camp to the left, the drums of each battalion were loud; When the battalions heard the sound of drums, they immediately marched in the direction where the big flag was located, and lined up in turn according to the flag order.

When the left flank of the Wei army moved, the Qin people stopped moving, and then the bell rang in the position, and the right flank began to retreat, stopping after a hundred steps, and then the Chinese army retreated a hundred paces, then the left flank. By the time the left flank of the Wei army had been assembled, the Qin had already withdrawn two miles away.

Jin Qian seemed to be satisfied with today's battle situation and did not order a pursuit. After seeing that the Qin army had retreated beyond the firing range, he just ordered the people's army on the right flank to go to the front of the battle to pick up the Qin army and shoot arrows. After the Qin people completely withdrew, the order to "sit in place" was issued. By this time, the sun had sunk in the west. About two hours were spent in a very tense, but not very bloody.

Xin Lingjun wanted to step down, but he planted himself on the floor, which frightened Jin Cong and the former generals to call out one after another, and then called Mr. Xiahou and Mr. Guo together. The two gentlemen came up to take a look, and saw that Xinlingjun's face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he was sweating profusely, and he was also panicking. Mr. Xiahou calmed down a little and asked, "Is there liquor in the camp?" ”

As soon as the former general stretched out his hand, he took out a gourd from his arms, opened it carefully, and the aroma of wine immediately overflowed. In the past, the so-called sake at the banquet in the camp was actually just filtered water, which had nothing to do with today's "sake". Lishu is the rice wine that is brewed. The former generals seemed to have good wine, and they also secretly brewed it in the battalion: rice wine, unlike distilled wine, could not be stored for a long time, and had to be brewed and drunk freshly, and it would be sour in a few days. Mr. Xiahou gave a deep salute, took the gourd, pulled out his dagger, pried open Xinlingjun's teeth, and poured some wine into it. Xin Lingjun swallowed the wine in his throat, which immediately caused a violent cough and slowly opened his eyes.

Everyone rushed up and greeted "Is the king safe?" ”

Xin Lingjun weakly pointed to his leg and said, "Is my leg there?" ”

The crowd said: "Shang An." ”

Xinling Jun said: "I don't know what it is. ”

Mr. Xiahou handed over the gourd and said, "You can drink it, or you can cure it." ”

Xin Lingjun took the gourd suspiciously, took a small sip, eased up, and felt better; He took another sip; In the end, I simply drank all the wine. After drinking it, he came back to his taste and asked, "Who made the liquor?" ”

The former military general said: "It was secretly brewed by the minister." There is no form, but this thing is good! ”

Xinling Jun said: "It will also be repaid!" ”

The former general said: "What do you say? Loved by the king, the minister is also lucky. What a word! ”

Xin Lingjun moved his legs slightly, and when he found that he had some consciousness, he wanted to stand up, but his legs shook, and it was difficult to stand, so he could only sit up reluctantly. said to the Jin contempt doctor and the former general: "The war is not over, everything is still to be paid, and I dare not abandon it with a mere plan." ”

Jin said disdainfully: "The Qin people have retreated, it is getting late, and I think today's major event is over." When the scouts report that the Qin people have entered the camp, they can collect the troops! Don't worry. ”

Xinlingjun suddenly laughed and said: "The Qin people shot me with arrows, but they didn't have time to take it back; The doctor ordered someone to harvest, how much can he get? ”

Jin said disdainfully: "Weijun, I have lost a few things!" He turned his head to the military envoy downstairs and asked, "How many arrows do the people get when they collect arrows?" Where to see? ”

The envoy immediately ran out.

The former general said: "The minister's wine is still there, and he ordered someone to get it!" He went downstairs himself, called a doorman, and ordered him to go back to the tent to get wine. Shaojiu came over with a small jar, and the former general hurriedly went upstairs, opened it himself, poured out a little, tasted it himself, and handed the wine jar to Xinling Jun and said: "Shang Gan is alcoholic, you can drink it!" Xin Lingjun took it, took a few big sips from the mouth of the can, and suddenly felt slightly dizzy, his heart beat faster, and a sense of pleasure arose. He knew that he was a little drunk, and he was afraid of getting drunk and immoral, so he hurriedly returned the wine jar to the former general, and said as clearly as possible: "Qing Zhizhong, Lonely Zhizhi!" "There was also a little heat in my legs, so I held on to the ground and got up little by little, although I was a little dizzy, but it passed in a flash. He stood against the wall of the building, and saw that all the troops were sitting on the ground outside the camp; Looking into the distance, the dust was flying, and the Qin people didn't know whether they had returned to the camp. After settling down, Xin Lingjun felt that he was much better, so he said: "Don't be enough for others!" ”

Everyone responded: "How dare you say more!" ”
