When ordering troops, Wang Qi wanted Bai Qi to preside over the tent, and Bai Qi said: "I can't show anyone." But do it yourself, and do not make others feel it. ”

The daily work of the daily soldiers is very complicated. Yesterday, Wang Yu did not assign special tasks to the five doctors and public passengers, and the whole camp rested for one day. Today, according to the plan, each unit will conduct tactical reconnaissance according to its own situation. Wang Di especially said to the five doctors stationed at the southern end: "Yesterday, the Zhao army entered and exited 500 people, and the ranks were not in order. There may be a war today! ”

The five doctors said, "There should be a plan." ”

The Qin army did not have a time-consuming and labor-intensive breakfast process, after the soldiers were counted, the battalions rested for a while, and ate some fried millet on the river, and the two five doctors in the north either sent 1,000 people or sent 1,500 people to open the camp gate and move towards the Zhao army fortress, mainly to familiarize themselves with the terrain. The two five doctors in the south seemed to be angry by Zhao Jun's dispatch yesterday, and some of them made a big move and even sent 5,000 people each, each under the command of a public attendant, and the main training was coordinated with each other. The two public passengers each boarded a banner car and drove side by side, discussing and acting with each other. As if nothing had happened, Wang Ji continued to find a lookout post to observe the battle of the various armies. The Qin soldiers didn't know that the one who followed Wang Yi to observe this time was Bai Qi.

The two of them were still more interested in the battle to the south, and the observation point was still placed in a similar position to yesterday's. It was the height of summer, and everything was flourishing, and both the grass and the trees were extremely dense enough to hide their traces well; And this is even more set off the battlefield between the two armies, where there is not a single grass due to the constant trampling.

Bai Qi watched the formation of the Bashu troops, their formations, the changes in formation, and their reactions to the orders.

An hour later, the Qin army had already appeared outside the valley mouth. At this time, Zhao Jun also finished breakfast, and after receiving the alarm from the sentry, he also entered the position according to the assigned area. Bai Qi also observed Zhao Jun's actions very carefully.

Drums had already begun to beat in the north, and the soldiers shouted and charged up and down the mountain, but they generally stopped when they rushed to the Danshui River, and Mingjin withdrew his troops. Zhao Jun only had sporadic arrows coming over. After rushing through the third or fourth formation, another unit was driven out of the barrier, which took over from the previous unit and continued to practice the charge. Bai Qi watched from afar, very dissatisfied with this training method, he said to Wang Ji: "Soldiers, courage, accept the enemy, how can you resist the enemy!" When you are trapped, you can use it! ”

Wang Yi said: "Today, I will move my muscles and bones, Xi will give orders, not war." If there is a war, the king will look at it! ”

Bai Qi interrupted him and said, "Zhao Jun will come out, don't make a mistake." Wang Yi saw that the southern barrier area of the Zhao army's position was indeed unfurling, and there seemed to be a large number of troops mobilized. Wang Yi said: "He doesn't know soldiers. It's just a hundred miles, and there are so many people, lying down and having no land, how can they fight! "White should not be.

Soon, the gate of the Zhao army was opened, and five hundred people poured out of it under the leadership of the standard-bearer, and quickly formed a formation in front of the camp. The two public attendants exchanged heads, each beat the war drum, and led the army forward.

The so-called layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway. In the eyes of everyone, what they saw was the neat formation of the Qin army, advancing like mountains and waves, and it seemed invincible. Insiders, on the other hand, pay attention to the coordination of the forces and drums, observe the control of the advance route by the commander-in-chief, and the methods of the various armies to respond to the situation. Bai Qi seemed to blend into this formation change and was completely immersed in it. He muttered and beat the drums; Gently waving in his hand, as if holding a flag.

The five hundred Zhao troops saw that the five thousand Qin troops were neatly pressed up, and they also moved forward under the command of the five hundred generals. Five hundred people will walk beside the standard-bearers, at the front of the ranks. The five hundred men walked to the shore of Danshui and stopped. At the same time, another battalion of Zhao Jun, also under the leadership of the standard-bearer, rushed out of the gate, lined up in front of the battalion, stood in a neat formation, and also drove to the shore of Danshui under the command of 500 generals.

A thousand Zhao troops stood on the bank of Danshui in front of the barrier, waiting for the arrival of five thousand Qin troops.

The 5,000 Qin army was very fond of the small hill in the middle of the battlefield, and they advanced to the hill in an outflanking attitude, and at the same time sent two officers and doctors, each with 500 men, to run to occupy the hill. Wang Yi whispered to the dialogue: "Condescending from the top is also the key to the tactics of war. Bai Qi was noncommittal and continued to observe the situation on the battlefield.

Although Xiaoshanbao is farther away from the Qin army, there are many Qin soldiers, the formation is pressed forward, and they are in front of the Zhao army, and it seems that the Zhao army has not received the order to seize the mountain, the two officials and doctors only ran a few thousand steps to occupy the mountain, and the two quickly assigned their positions and formed a good position in front of the mountain. The army of the two men also climbed the mountain after half an hour, and arranged their positions according to the terrain of the mountain: three battalions in front of the mountain, one battalion at the top of the mountain, and one battalion behind the mountain, and the distance between the battalions was about 100 paces; Between the two squares, there is also a passage about 100 steps wide. Because the mountain area is not large, the advance of the third battalion of the front mountain has almost reached the bottom of the mountain, and it is only two miles away from Danshui.

The two public servants discussed for a while, let the troops rest for a while, and called all the public doctors and official doctors to the mountain, and instructed them one by one on their combat missions. After they were ready, the two front battalions, led by two officers and doctors, drove to the Zhao army on the bank of Danshui. They walked slowly out of five hundred steps, that is, changed to a fast step under the command, and after fifty steps, they were about to change to running, when they suddenly saw the opposite Zhao Jun slowly retreating. Although it retreated, the formation was not chaotic. The two officers and doctors did not dare to let go of the pursuit, and still pressed forward with a quick pace. When wading across the river, the formation of the Qin army was scattered for a while, but it only took a dozen steps to cross the river, and the formation was quickly adjusted. When they were about thirty paces away, the officer gave the command to charge. Five hundred people shouted and pounced. Bai Qi only waved his fist at this time and said, "Yes!" Yes also! If so, be good! “

Seeing that the Qin army had launched a charge, the Zhao army quickly dispersed to both sides and ran back towards the barrier. The Qin army chased more than 100 steps, and when they heard the gold on the mountain bag, they also collected the army and slowly retreated. In this battle, the two sides made contact, but did not fight. On the scene, the Qin army looked better, but it did not achieve substantial results.

However, when the Zhao generals in the city saw that the Qin army was retreating, they immediately beat the drums, and sent two battalions of Zhao pawns to line up and press towards the bank of Danshui again. After the Qin army assaulted across the river in the front camp, it also pressed forward as a whole. After the troops were collected, the front battalion retreated to the back of the mountain and became the rear battalion. Seeing that the Zhao army had sent two more troops of 500 men, and determined to reach the river before the Zhao army, they beat the war drums and ordered the front battalion to advance. Seeing that the Qin army was pressing in advance, Zhao Jun stopped the drumming when he was fifty steps away from the shore of Danshui, and asked the team to stop the whole team. When the Qin army reached about fifty paces away from Danshui, they also stopped the whole team. In this way, the two armies were 100 paces apart, facing each other in order to reorganize their formations.

Danshui was between them, and whoever scattered the formation when crossing the river at this time might encounter an accident, so neither side moved, just looked at each other. The battlefield fell silent for a moment, and a doctor broke the silence and ordered his troops to cross the river; The other doctor remained in place, apparently to respond.

When the official doctor moved forward, Zhao Jun remained in place. The Qin army reached the shore in fifty steps, and with a shout, rushed across the river, and in an instant, they began to form a team again. At this time, the two Zhao armies slowly pressed up against the Qin army that had crossed the river. Seeing this, the official doctor did not wait for his formation to be in order, and immediately issued the command to charge, and he and the standard-bearer rushed to the front of the line.

Doctor Bai was clever enough to avoid one of the Zhao armies, concentrate his forces, and rush towards the flank of the nearest Zhao army. He strode forward with his spear in his hand, and as soon as the spear turned, a shield soldier of the Zhao army flew out. The spear turned again, and the shield soldiers on both sides were knocked down almost simultaneously, and the Qin army cheered loudly and rushed up, swarming through the gap. And the 500 generals of the Zhao army and the standard-bearers were already hiding behind the card array when they were advancing, and did not fight. Seeing that the formation was broken, the five hundred people shouted: "Retreat!" The five hundred men quickly dispersed on either side, and before exiting, they did not forget to carry away the soldier who had been picked out by the spear.

Breaking one of the Zhao army's formations, the official doctor ordered the whole battalion to adjust its direction and rushed towards another Zhao formation with a stabbing stab. That Zhao general was still relatively smart, and seeing that the Qin army had broken the friendly forces on the flank in just a moment, he immediately ordered a slow retreat; Taking advantage of the time for the Qin army to adjust the formation, retreat to a relatively safe distance fifty paces away. When the Qin army pounced on him again, he slowly retreated. Always keep a distance of more than fifty steps from the Qin army, so that the Qin army does not have a chance to charge.

The Qin army, which remained on the other side of Danshui, saw that the friendly army had won, and could not wait to wade across the river and press the Zhao army. However, the Zhao army of 100 people will always maintain a safe distance and retreat into the barrier defense area. The two public servants also called in for troops.

After the Qin army collected its troops, the third thousand-man formation of the Zhao army was discharged again. This time, Zhao Jun did not form a team in front of the gate and then move to the shore, but directly inserted the flag gate fifty steps away from Danshui. The Zhao army of the two battalions quickly broke through the gate in two columns and ran to the bottom of the flag gate. This time, he finally caught up with the Qin army to launch a good position in the front line, and waited for work.

Bai Qi regretted and said: "If you attack it while its position is undecided, you will break the enemy!" “

Wang Yi said: "Zhao Jun's speed is also, and the public can't catch up!" “

Bai Qi said: "The flag gate has been decided, and the soldiers have not yet arrived, and this is the time." When the drum beats, you will win! As he spoke, his face showed endless frustration, as if he had lost a big battle!

The same river-crossing operation is the same one-touch retreat. Everyone can see that this is General Zhao's deliberate arrangement, unwilling to fight to the death with the Qin army, just to let everyone get familiar with the battlefield scene and experience the atmosphere of war!

The two sides fought five times in a row, almost starting and ending according to the same script; In the meantime, according to the level of the commanders of the two sides, there were slight gains and losses, and it was basically a tie. As the sun gradually sank in the west, the Qin army waited for about half an hour, but did not see any movement of the Zhao army, so they retreated to the camp in order.
