The Chu army forced the Qin army to fight on the battlefield they had preset, and the Qin army forced the Chu army to divide their troops according to their own wishes. Both sides were forcing the enemy to act according to their wishes. When Xiong Jing returned to Shouying, the three Qin troops, which were one step ahead of Meng Tian's army, had reached the Chu territory. Previously, the Chu army had built bases in each water, and these three Qin troops were besieging those artillery bases.

"The soldiers in Song Dynasty knew that the Qin army was attacking Song, and were afraid that the Qin people would burn, kill, and loot, so they asked to return to Song several times." All the news was summarized at the Grand Sima Mansion and reported to Xiong Jing by Naojiu. "This is the Qin people's plan to divide the troops, so you must not..."

"The last time the Qin army entered the Song Dynasty, there were many people killed. Now that the Qin people came again, the soldiers of the Song army were uneasy." In addition to cunning, there was also Ao Lanshe from the Song land, so he naturally had to think about the Song land. "Now the forty-five-year-old soldiers from the Song land have entered the army, but there are few people, only one division and several brigades, so they cannot fight against the Qin people. Please allow the Song army to return to the Song land."

"This is the Qin people's plan to divide the troops!" Li Qi finished what Naojiu had not finished. "I don't divide the troops, the Qin people slaughtered the Song land; if I divide the troops, the 300,000 Qin people's army will quickly go to Chen Ying to fight, and I will be young."

When Li Qi talked about the difficulties he was facing, it reminded Xiong Jing of Bai Qi's words: "The soldiers of Qin... work together and die. The people of Chu fought on their own, all of them took care of their families, and each had their own feelings to relax, so they did not fight.

At the beginning, Xiang Chao and others disagreed with the fact that it made sense that the Chu army must not fight in their own country, but could only attack instead of defending and go deep into other countries to fight, otherwise they would "each will have their own feelings and no fighting intentions." Xiang Shi Sima Peng Zong mentioned that he had retreated to the Chu territory, and the Qin people divided the troops, and I would have to divide the troops.

But if you do not retreat to the Chu territory, how can the Qin army pursue after the defeat? In the decisive battle of Qifeng, after the Qin army was defeated, the pursuit of the Chu army would be blocked by the Qin army's boat division - the three-oared battleship was only one meter above water, and the Qin soldiers were more than 1.5 meters tall, so there was no trestle. The defeated Qin army would be protected by the boat division by running directly into the big lake.

Of course, thinking that these things are useless now, Xiong Jing held back his sigh and asked, "What should I do about it?"

"I think the Song army should be allowed to return to Song." Lan She said loudly. "Otherwise they will not be willing to fight."

"No!" Nao said: "Our army is already a few soldiers. If the Song army leaves, there will be almost no force to decide."

The two had opposite opinions, so Xiong Jing had to stare at Li Qie. Li Qie also held back his sigh and said, "If you gain something, you will lose something. If the Song Master goes, I still have twelve divisions. There are only two divisions."

"The Qin people sent 30,000 troops, plus the first division of Muling Pass, and only the third division of the Song Dynasty..." It was difficult for Xiong Jing to judge each other's strength. It would be fine if the Qin army's strength was really only 30,000 troops. If the troops were added later, it would definitely not be able to stop the third or fourth divisions of the Song Dynasty.

"Is our 12th Division full of the army?" Naoji glared at Li Qi. Not only did each division not add, but each division was not full of the organization.

"However, the people of Song want to return to Song, but the soldiers are not willing to fight. What's the use of keeping them?" Li Qi looked at Naoji and argued with Naoji in front of Xiong Jing. "I don't divide the troops, and Meng Tian will increase his troops again. At that time, there was no way to save them. The troops did not want to fight, so it would be better to save them! Although each division was not full, there were 60,000 soldiers, 50,000 soldiers in battle, and the cavalrymen had exceeded 60,000."

"Sixty thousand?" Naojiu shook his head hard when he heard this number, stretched out his finger and shouted, "The Qin people are five times more than me!"

"If the Qin people only have one array, what should I be afraid of five times? Two arrays are less than twice." Li Qi, like Xiong Jing, all hoped for the underground gunpowder. "And thunder bombs are already available, if the artillery soldiers use thunder bombs to attack the enemy..."

Li Qi talked about the flowering bullet that the surgery department had just tested. Naojiu also saw the test shot of the flowering bullet and angrily shouted: "The thunder bomb fires too slow and has limited explosive power. It can only be terrifying and cannot kill the enemy. What's the use of attack?"

"Stop!" Naojiu and Li Qi actually started arguing, and Xiong Jing was a little unhappy. He felt that the situation was much like Germany in 1944. The east-west attacked, and the end of the road was taking out all kinds of new weapons, trying to redirect their disadvantages with these weapons.

Not to mention the danger of flowering bombs, the rate of fire cannot be compared with solid bombs. Moreover, the gunpowder contained in it is only equivalent to two grenades, and one blow is not enough to be blown in two halves, but the fragments are only a dozen pieces and cannot kill a few people. Such weapons are actually not worth much, which is also the reason why flowering bombs are rarely used after they were invented. With today's technical conditions, using flowering bombs is not as good as using grenades on a large scale.

"The Qin people attacked Song, and the Song army can return to Song, so why should we fight?" After Xiong Jing stopped, several people looked at him.

"How can this be done!" Lan She was overjoyed, while Naojing was anxious. "Our army was originally young, how could we divide the troops? Moreover, when the Qin people saw that I only sent one division of soldiers, how could we increase the troops? If we don't increase the troops, the Song army will be destroyed!"

"If the troops are not divided, the Qin people will slaughter the Song people. If the army does not defend the people, what's the use of the army?!" Xiong Jing shouted. He really regretted this time. Instead of being as embarrassed as he is now, he shouldn't have withdrawn from Qifeng at the beginning. "It is said that I, Ao Ling, will the Song army be allowed to return to Song to defend the enemy."

As long as the internal discussion was completed, the Chu army's military orders were implemented very quickly. On that day, the two Song divisions of Chen and Ying and one of the Song divisions of Muling Pass led to the camp and return to the Song territory. The Chaoyang artillery building of the Bin River and the Dangyi artillery building of the Sui River were more than 200 miles away from Chen Ying. The soldiers who were eager to return home did not take the battle boat to the Huai River and the Sui River, but ran directly to Chaoyang and the Dangyi from land.

Once the two Song troops set out to attack, Chen Ying had only twelve divisions left. Pei troops stationed at Muling Pass also hurriedly returned to Mayi on the Song Didan River, worried that the Qin people would attack Lu from the Ji River to send troops to reinforce Tang Yi and Fang Yu. For a time, the four waterways in Huaibei strengthened their troops to guard against the Qin army's invasion into the Chu territory.

If the attack is insufficient, the defense will be even less insufficient. The Chu army is showing this bad result. Fortunately, Meng Tian was worried that too many troops would force the Chu army to defend Chen Ying to the death. After learning that the Chu army reinforced Zhushui, he did not increase his troops to Zhushui, and even retreated part of the troops, leaving only a small number of soldiers to plunder in the Song Dynasty.

In March, after some of the Qin cavalry had been sent to Changping, most of the Qin army finally sailed south from the Shahai Altar Camp northwest of Daliang. Three hundred thousand people, plus livestock, soldiers, baggage, and military rations, and the boat team stretched for 150 miles, almost half of Daliang to Chenying. Fortunately, this was a waterway, and the waterway was flowing downstream. It was not very much possible to travel a hundred miles a day. In just two days, all the 300,000 Qin troops left the sand sea. On the third day, the vanguard of the army had already landed on the shore of Changping.

The shogunate was located at the front of the army. The cavalry led by Hufen and the boats carrying ships were advancing in unison. They marched from land and water to Changping. As soon as Meng Tian arrived onshore, he urgently summoned Hufen to inquire about the movements of the Chu army.

"Report to the general, the Jing people have not moved, and our army is safe." Wu Fen gradually grew old. He had a Qin-style horoscope, a long robe and a big body. The Qin language was fluent than the people in Xianyang, and he could not hear any Chu sound.

"Really don't move?" Meng Tian ordered the cavalry to go to Changping first because he was worried about the Chu army's raid. Once the raid was raided, his troops could not gather quickly and could easily be defeated by each one like Li Xin.

"The Jing people did not move." Hou Zhengzao, the old scout, was with Wu Fen. "Chencheng was seventy miles away. Our army deposed cavalry to the bank of Chencheng. The Jing people did not chase me, but seemed to want to fight with me before."

The Qin army's weakness is the Qin army's weakness. Every time they reconnaissance, they will be driven and chased by the Chu army's dragon cavalry. This time it is extremely strange. The Chu army's dragon cavalry will no longer chase after the cavalry, and the two sides often pass by. The Qin army's cavalry will run towards Chen Ying, and the Chu army's cavalry will run to Changping, and the same is true when they come back.

Hou Zhengzao is an old scout. Such a situation is rare but not unseen. If both sides intend to fight in a daze rather than setting up an ambush or using a plan, they will not make things difficult for the other party's scout. On the other hand, as long as the other party has his full strength and does not allow the enemy to break in, there will inevitably be monsters.

"How many people in Jing?" Meng Tian has been a general for generations and also knew this truth. His tense heart relaxed a little, and asked about the strength of the troops.

"Looking at the military flag, there are only 12 divisions." Hou Zheng made the way, and the Chu army organized the division brigade in counties and towns. The military flag was always written on it, which was easy to identify. "The fourth division of the King's Division, the third division of Xiang's Division, the third division of E's Division, the first division of Tang's Division, and the first division of Huainan's Division."

"Twelfth Division?" With the addition of Ji River, there are four rivers outside the Gang of the Great Valley that can attack Chu. The Chu army sent four divisions to reinforce these four places. Meng Tian originally thought that all the fourth divisions came from Chen Ying, but unexpectedly, only two divisions came from Chen Ying.

"That's right." Hou Zheng made the Tao. "The Jing people did not guard Chencheng, but camped in the west of Chencheng and north of Shashui. The camps and formations of each division were clearly divided. The soldiers of the twelve divisions, with the number of Jingmen, had more than 70,000 soldiers, and the soldiers of the battle formation were about 50,000."

"How many cavalrymen?" Meng Gong kept listening, without saying much, and only asked a question now.

"There are more than 10,000 cavalry and six thousand cavalry of dragon cavalry." When Wu Fen mentioned the dragon cavalry, he smiled bitterly. He thought that the Chu army's dragon cavalry would fight fewer and fewer more cavalry, but he didn't expect that in the end, the more he fought. "The Jing people must have Longma Yuan, otherwise the extreme western country would no longer sell horses to Jing, so where would the dragon horses come from?"

Previously, the Chu army had only three or four thousand dragon horses, but now it has increased to six thousand. Meng Tian was also shocked and said in surprise: "There are six thousand dragon horses?"

"Of course, there should be six thousand." The enemy of the cavalry is the cavalry, especially the dragon horse cavalry. When the six thousand dragon horse cavalry rushed towards him, Huo was anxious and shook his head. It would take at least 30,000 Qin horse cavalry to block it. Thinking of this, he suggested: "When fighting with the Jing people formation, the general should keep more rear troops to prevent the Jing people and cavalry from circling the rear."

"And the Jing people lined up with their backs, so I couldn't strike the left and right," when Meng Tian nodded, Feng Fen said again that the cavalry might not have achieved any results in this battle.

"The Jing people lined up with their backs, so the general did not need to attack his left and right." Meng Gong said. "Outside the 30,000 cavalry, the remaining 10,000 cavalry will no longer stand beside the military formation."

"Ten thousand cavalry no longer stand beside the military formation?" Zhu Fen was puzzled. The best position for cavalry is on both sides of the military formation, which is convenient for attacking the enemy's wings and defending the two wings of his own army. "Why? Do you use these ten thousand cavalry as the rear army?"

"The general has his own order." Meng Gong blocked Wu Fen with just one sentence, and he didn't say yes or said no.
