Chapter 85 Wake Up

Chang Jiang is the master servant of his father. Xiong Jing has always been polite to him. Even if what he said is not in line with his heart, Xiong Jing just smiled and didn't care. Chang Jiang didn't need to know Xiong Jing to be young, and he knew that Xiong Jing couldn't listen to his words, so he could only remain silent after he said something.

Xiong Jing continued to wipe the armor. For some reason, this armor made him feel eager to try. He was eager to wear it and lead the soldiers to attack the enemy formation, and he wanted the soldiers of the Qin army to panic when they saw the terrifying and treacherous mask. As for Chang Jiang's words about returning to Xinying after defeat, Chang Jiang did not say that he escaped. In fact, he fled back to Xinying after defeat, which made him think of Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu ran south and saw the vast Yangtze River. When he thought that no one of the eight thousand Jiangdong children who crossed the east with him eight years ago returned, he felt ashamed to face the elders of Jiangdong. He gave up on his horse and committed suicide by slashing his own sons. This past history was just a sad story of the ancients more than two thousand years ago. However, when he was in the scene, he could feel Xiang Yu's helplessness and tragedy.

Either win, die in battle, or surrender, and there is no other way to choose. Xiang Yu had no face to meet the elders of Jiangdong and chose to die in battle. In this battle, all the soldiers who could fight in Chu State were Mo, so how could he face the elders of Chu State? His own force may not be as good as Xiang Yu, but his moral character will be inferior to Xiang Yu?

Xiong Jing couldn't help feeling a little sad when he thought of Xiang Yu's ending. He thought that he would never be weaker than him, and he couldn't help but cheer up.

"Life is a hero, and death is a hero. I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross the Yangtze River." While I was lost, Li Qingzhao's poem could not help but read it, and Jiang Wenshi on the side was stunned.

"By Da Ao, Da Ao, Qin people..., Da Liang..., how..."

It seemed like it was in a dream, or someone shouted loudly in his ears. Xiong Jing was in a daze. He drank a lot of wine before going to bed last night, and he also summoned two concubines who were dowed by princesses from various countries to perform a dance. After the dance, he pressed the two on the bed and whipped them and fell asleep. He wanted to open his eyes and couldn't open them, until he suddenly felt cold all over, and then he jumped up from the bed with a "ah".

"Da Ao atones his sins!" Xiong Jing saw Zhuang Wudi kneeling on the ground, and Peng Zong was holding a copper basin in his hand. Obviously, he learned his previous method and poured a basin of ice water on himself. Except for them, Ele, Deng Sui, Yang Wei, Gui Jing and others were all there, Wei envoy Wei Jianyou, and Zhao envoy Lianyu were also there.

"What's the matter?" Xiong Jing shook his suppressed and stabbed the sword in his hand to the ground. He stood upright without caring about his lower body, and directly stepped down his wet Zeyi in front of them and changed into the clothes in Changjiang's hand.

"The Qin people attacked Daliang at night!" Zhuang Wudi's face was covered in sweat, and his eyes were completely lost.

"Daliang?!" Xiong Jing was stunned when he heard this. He never thought that the Qin people would attack Daliang. Wouldn't it be a trap to attack Daliang?

"Please send troops to rescue Daliang quickly!" Wei Jianyou fell to the ground and bowed. Lian Yu also slapped at Xiong Jing and shouted: "The Qin people took advantage of my unpreparedness. At this time, the former army had already attacked Daliang. If the king did not save him, the State of Zhao would be destroyed!"

"Attacking Daliang?! You say Qin army..." Xiong Jing was finally surprised. He thought the Qin army was just attacking the city, but he didn't expect that the Qin army had already attacked Daliang city.

"Reported to the great king, both cities in the north and south of Daliang are very fire, and the same is true for the royal palace. If the Qin people had not attacked the city, how could there be a fire?" Wei Jianyou cried. "There are many Qin people in the city, so it must be that the Qin people bribed the traitor and stole the city gate..."

With a 'boom', Xiong Jing's mind was dizzy and he woke up completely. The Qin army attacked Daliang, and the Zhao and Wei armies were about to be destroyed. He was a little anxious and shouted: "Beat the drum, gather the generals!"

"Da Ao..." Peng Zong was calmer than Zhuang Wudi. He wanted to stop Xiong Jing, but he thought that Xiong Jing was just beating the drums and gathering generals instead of pulling out the rescue Liang. After saying that the breath he was holding back, he stopped for a while. The drum sounded suddenly in the middle of the night, and the 120,000 Chu soldiers suddenly woke up, not knowing what had happened. He was long and long, and the soldiers of each division heard that the drum sounded was the drum sound of the shogunate gathering generals rather than the warning drums around the camp, so he quickly made a sound to let the soldiers go back to the tent and sleep. It would be dawn in more than an hour. Since it was not an enemy attack at night, the shogunate gathered generals to the camp and had to wait until dawn.

The shogunate beat drums and gathered generals, and the generals of the army led Sima to rush out of the tent to the shogunate. Before they arrived, Xiong Jing had a general understanding of the military situation: after night yesterday, the Qin army suddenly left the camp and headed straight for Daliang fifteen miles away. The traitors of Zhao and Wei who were bribed by Qin's spies in the city took the opportunity to open the door, and the Qin army that attacked the city killed and set fire. The Zhao and Wei armies were caught off guard and were in chaos for a while.

"Who is the Zhao State surrendering to Qin? Who is the Wei State surrendering to Qin?" Xiong Jing asked a black-clad Zhao State kneeling in the curtain one after another. He escaped from the city in trouble. "Where is the King of Zhao, where is the Queen Mother of Zhao? Where is the King of Wei?"

"I don't know who surrendered to Qin." Zhao State's black-clothed men were all children of Zhao State's nobles. The one who escaped was Zhao Bai, the son of the great attacker Zhao Jian. He could not escape, but now Mu Ze was over two inches and could walk by the walker, so he ran to Qifeng on the ice. "When I left the city, the widowed king and the queen mother were all in the city, and they were leading the black-clothed men to fight with the Qin people..."

Zhao Bai suddenly stood up and bowed to him, "For reinforcements, I have to abandon the city and leave. Now that I have informed the king, I should return to Daliang for a battle. I would like to leave."

Zhao Baizhi's words moved everyone present. Daliang was sixty miles away from Qifeng. He ran thinly for a night before he ran to Qifeng. His hair and beard were covered with frost, his face and hands were frostbite. With the current temperature, he would probably freeze to death when he went back.

"Shou, be anxious, the Chu army in Daliang will be rescued." Xiong Jing said. "After gathering the generals, you can..."

"Big Ao Rong!" Peng Zong interrupted quickly, and said without waiting for Xiong Jing to allow him: "Yesterday, the ice was only more than two inches thick. Infantry was feasible, but cavalry and artillery soldiers were not feasible..."

"How thick is the ice today?" Xiong Jing was very anxious. He was worried that Wang Jian would really annihilate the Zhao and Wei soldiers in Daliang City, and then capture King Zhao and King Wei.

"Reported to Da Ao, today's ice is only three inches thick, even if it is three inches, it is not as much as four inches." Zhuang Wudi said hurriedly.

Compared with the Qin army, the Chu army seemed to have become a heavy army, and the requirements for the thickness of the ice layer far exceeded that of the Qin army. One inch and seven minutes of ice thick can only march in a single row, two inches and six minutes of ice thick can only march in a double row, four inches and three rows of ice thick can only march in a three row, and four inches of ice thick cannons can only march in a single row; five inches cannons can be dragged, and six inches can be used to drive four-wheeled heavy vehicles.

The minimum requirement for the thickness of the ice layer by the Chu army was four inches. At this time, artillery can be changed to sled transportation, and the baggage can also be transported by sleds. Unfortunately, the cavalry could not use sled transportation. A row of cavalry marching several meters apart must be four inches thick, and the combat rushing requires at least six inches.

The Qin army did not have artillery, and there was no need for much baggage at a distance of fifteen miles. They attacked Daliang. Although there was still water accumulation in Daliang City, the water accumulation was only one or two feet deep, which could not be compared with the water level of Muze several feet deep. It should have been that when the ice was more than two inches thick, the Qin army was ready to attack.

"The Qin people can reach Daliang, and our army can also reach Daliang." Xiong Jing said viciously.

"The ice is less than four inches thick, and our army has neither cavalry nor cannons." Peng Zong shouted, "How do soldiers break the formation?"

Xiong Jing was stunned for a moment. In this case, the infantry could only attack Daliang. In terms of infantry, the Qin army was several times higher than that of him. The two armies only relied on infantry to fight in a formation, which was something that the shogunate strategist had never thought of.

"I think our army should attack the sand sea quickly!" E Cao said. "At this time, the Qin people's boat troops cannot be used. The vast gutter, gutter, and cross ditch can all be built and passed..."

"Even if the gulf is frozen and the ice is thin, the Qin boat masters can still work." Zhuang Wudi knew that it was more meticulous than E Cao. The frozen rivers of flowing rivers are completely different from the frozen waters. Even if the gulf is frozen, warships that are stronger than fishing boats can launch an impact at the cost of destroying the boats.

"Even if it works, I can attack the sand sea." E Cao insisted on his opinion. "I cross the waters by turning the gates and attacking the sand sea directly. After the sand sea is down, what if the Qin army pulls out Daliang?" E Cao said Wei Jianyou, Lian Yu smiled bitterly, fortunately he said again: "If I attack the sand sea, the Qin people in Daliang City will retreat, so the siege of Daliang will be resolved."

"Good!" Xiong Jing waved his fists and he shouted: "Make rice, make rice quickly, and the entire army will be launched after dawn!"

"Da Ao! The Qi army has entered the Song territory and is in Kongtong at this time. According to this..." Xiong Jing ordered the camp to be pulled out, and he was determined to wait for the Qi army, Zhuang Wudi, who was unable to bear to waste his previous efforts: "In another three days, the Qi army will arrive!"

"Three days? More than three hundred miles are not lasting for more than five days." Xiong Jing looked at him and shook his head. He knew that the Qi army was now in Kongtong in Song, but Kongtong was more than three hundred miles away from Daliang.

"If the Qi army knew that the matter of Daliang was urgent, it would be able to reach Qifeng in three days." Zhuang Wudi said. "The Kongtong is only more than 200 miles away from Qifeng. After dawn, the order for Vulcan to arrive at Qifeng in three days will be able to arrive at Qifeng in three days. Three days later, the ice of the Great Lakes will become thicker. When it reaches four inches, our army can attack Daliang."

"This battle is not to save Daliang, but to defeat Qin!" E Cao knew very well the purpose of the Chu army in this battle. Saving Daliang was for the decisive battle. At this time, the Qin army attacked Daliang and happened to divide the troops, and could not escape like Linzi. It was a good opportunity to attack and pull out the sand sea.

"Da Ao, I think what E Sima said is." Peng Zong echoed. "Our army should quickly pull out the camp to attack the sea of ​​sand, which is not as late as possible."

"Da Ao, I think what E Sima said is." When the people argued, the generals and soldiers of each division gathered more and more. Although they only heard the second half of the debate, they all supported the march into the sand sea immediately, rather than waiting for the Qi people more than two hundred miles away.

"In this way, our army is only 120,000..." Zhuang Wudi was still worried about the number of Chu troops, "the number of Qin people is at least 600,000, which is five times that of me."

"So what if five times more than me?" Xiong Jing had not spoken yet, Xiang Liang and Ruoao walked alone, Yue Wuzhu rushed to speak.
