Chapter 99 Death 2

Wang Ben formed the formation, and the defeated cavalry army was dispatched again, leaving the sand sea camp to the north bank of Honggou. Tens of thousands of war horses ran out of the camp and the sound of hoofs was like thunder. Wang Jian in the curtain couldn't help but close his eyes when he heard the endless sound of hoofs. His son was about to die in battle! As a father, a white-haired man sent a black-haired man, this was probably the most cruel thing, but this might be the only way to defeat the Chu army.

Wang Jian closed his eyes and there was silence in the tent. Except for Liu Chi and the counselors who came up with this plan, the others did not know how the general would defeat the enemy, but at the moment it seemed that the Qin army led by Wang Ben could not escape the fate of failure.

Fusu, who had a few conversations with Aristotle IV in Greek, finally couldn't help it. He looked at Wang Jian, and asked childishly, "General, our army is only 250,000 in this battle. Can we defeat the Jing people?"

Fusu was asked by Wang Jian. Since he came to Shahai Camp, he has fully supported Wang Jian and has never questioned any of Wang Jian's military destiny. Now he suddenly asked, it is probably not Fusu's original intention, but the intention of the Grand Tutor Baidi. Wang Jian opened his eyes and looked at Aristotle IV, Zhao Yong, and Liu Chi, who also looked at Aristotle IV.

"No." Wang Jian did not hide it at all. He knew the result of the battle a few months ago.

"Since you can't..." Fusu looked at his teacher, said a few more Greek words, and then said: "If you can't win, why do you fight? Are you armored? Our army has not many armored soldiers, but not all soldiers in the army need huge armor. The soldiers of the Western countries are not armored."

"The eldest son should know that the enemy of the Western Kingdom is not the Jing people, but the enemy of our army is the Jing people." Wang Jian let out a long sigh, trying to use simple and easy-to-understand words to explain to Fusu why he did this. "Our army blocks the Jing people from the gap, and is not the soldier. If we break the Jing people, we will work hard and take away their energy, then the Jing people will be defeated."

"Terror and take away the evil, and then take away the energy?" Fusu was not very clear about military affairs. When he translated this sentence to Aristotle IV, the Lord Baidi, wearing a white base and robe, directly talked to Wang Jian: "Is the general trying to make Chuni's army tired?"

"Yes." Fusu's translation is tired, which makes the Chu army tired.

"Use 250,000 soldiers to make the Chunis tired?" After receiving a positive answer, Aristotle IV was even more surprised.

"No, it's because the 600,000 troops have made the Jing people tired." Wang Jian said.

"Why don't you put the six hundred thousand army..." The surprise on Aristotle IV's face turned into shock at this time. The so-called fatigue of the Chu Ni people, in other words, was to make them killed by the Chu army. Drive 600,000 soldiers to kill the Chu army. Aristotle IV felt that everything around him was dark in an instant, as if he had fallen from the human world into the underworld. He shouted lowly to the gods.

"I ordered 600,000 soldiers to gather together. If the front soldiers move, the rear soldiers will be shocked. If they are defeated, they will be defeated. If they are defeated, they will be defeated." Wang Jian said in a deep voice. The Chu army is already twenty miles away. It is no longer a secret to how this battle will be carried out. "I heard that Mahadoule led his army to attack Persia. His army had 60,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry; the Persian army had 200,000 infantry and 45,000 cavalry, and Mahadoule won the victory.

However, if after this battle, Mahadolle will fight with 200,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry, how will it be victorious or defeated? If Mahadolle will fight with 200,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry, how will it be victorious or defeated? If Mahadolle will fight with 100,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, how will it be victorious or defeated? If Mahadolle will fight with 100,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, how will it be victorious or defeated?"

Wang Jian used several people in one breath. Even though Aristotle IV could not understand Qin's words, he was captured by Wang Jian's momentum when he spoke. The yield per mu of wheat was much lower than that of corn. Due to the restrictions of agriculture, except for the regular flooding of the Mesopotamia, the Nile River Basin, the Indus River Basin and the Ganges Basin, there were relatively dense populations in other regions, and the population in other regions had never been as dense as that in East Asia.

The dense population provides a large number of soldiers, and the complex rivers provide convenient transportation. If we had not witnessed it with our own eyes, people would not believe that the boats of Yue people from membership could sail unimpededly to the city of Xianyang, and the boats of Ba people in Chengdu could reach the east gate of Linzi without leaving the sea.

After breaking away from the shackles of the limited war of aristocratic wars, the interaction between the two made the war in East Asia far exceed the imagination of the contemporaries and even later generations. As a result, later generations kept questioning historical books, thinking that the 450,000 Zhao army in the Battle of Changping was as ridiculed as the 830,000 Wei army in the imperial history books, which were accustomed to praise victory and taboo defeat and were full of lies.

As a witness, Aristotle IV fully understood the fearful mobilization of the Qin army's war machine. Any battle that took place in this land would be a world war if it was transferred to the known world. Because of this, when Philip II had to discuss with his friends and guards before the war, the Warring States army was generally equipped with generals based on the 72-person system to lead the shogunate.

Aristotle IV was confident in many things, including military equipment and combat tactics. But he knew nothing about how to command hundreds of thousands of soldiers to engage in a tragic battle. When Fusu passed on Wang Jian's series of "Ranruo" to him, he was speechless in embarrassment.

Wang Jian didn't care about his embarrassment. Wang Jian knew that he was just a Bai Di Wenchen who would say he wouldn't do it. Not to mention the others, just from the moment he praised a battle of 70,000 people and 250,000 people, he knew that he had never seen a large-scale war.

"And the battlefield of war, the place where corpses are established. If you must die, you will live; if you must die, you will die." Wang Jian continued. "Six hundred thousand people fought, five times as many as those of Jing people. The soldiers all thought they were about to live, but if you must live, you will die; if you must die, you will die; if you must die, you will die, you will die. Why did I defeat the Jing people? I defeat the Jing people so much..."

‘Boom, Boom--’ Wang Jian wanted to say something else, but the explosion like last night had already been heard outside the tent. The explosion was not separated by, but continuous. In the explosion after explosion, the generals looked at each other, and the Chu army was about to cross the gap.

During the relocation, the workers who were drilling the wall finally lit the gunpowder, and the whole section of the rammed earth wall, which was 1,2 feet high, flew into the sky. Through these explosions, the Chu army saw the world on the north bank of the Great Valley: with the idea of ​​attacking half a cross, the Qin army array was very close to the Great Valley, and because of fear of the Chu army's artillery, the array could only move back 700 steps and lined up two miles away from the Great Valley.

The army formation is about 2,000 rows wide, divided into three formations in front, middle and back. The front and middle formations are about 40 rows in depth, a hundred steps apart. The latter is only 20 rows thin, and is also a hundred steps apart from the middle army formation. On both sides of the array are the cavalry. Like the Battle of Sand and Water, the cavalry is not only arranged on the two wings of the infantry array, but also about 4,500 cavalry are arranged in the center of the array.

These four or five thousand cavalry were obviously used to attack the artillery barracks array. The Qin army could only rely on this decisive charge to make the artillery of the Chu army ineffective in a short period of time, so as to quickly create a melee situation of the two armies fighting each other. The Chu army had no choice but to do anything about this. Even if the Qin cavalry could not rush in front of them, countless horse corpses killed by artillery fire would block the firing world. The consequence of blocking the firing world was that the artillery barracks could not fire artillery shells at the most suitable angle, and put the enemy on the jumping route of the artillery barracks as much as possible.

Xiong Jing couldn't help looking at the cannon general Chen Qing, and Chen Qing looked over with some annoyance. When the two looked at each other, Chen Qing solemnly salutes, and then turned around to instruct the cannon officers around him. Xiong Jing didn't care that artillery could not play its due role in this battle. The shogunate strategist had no plan to defeat the Qin army with artillery to win. The function of artillery was to kill and injure the pressure on his own knights to the greatest extent.

"The Qin people are not all covered with cloth armor, and they still have leather armor!" Pan Yu, the general of the archer, is a person with a weak presence. He is in his forties, with a round and rosy face covered with black beards. Since he learned that the linen armor can prevent heavy arrows, Xiong Jing is depressed every time he sees him. At this time, he can't help laughing when he sees most of the Qin soldiers wearing leather armor.

Each division has 576 archers, three or four million arrows in the baggage. What the tens of thousands of archers are most worried about is that the bows and arrows are useless. Pan Yu's shouting makes them feel relieved. At least they can still kill the enemy in this battle.

The distress of the cannon soldiers and the joy of the archer did not affect Xiong Jing's thoughts at all. His Lu Lijing lowered and raised, lifted and put down, constantly carefully observing every detail of the Qin army array from the perspective, trying to find the weakest position. However, at this time, all the Qin army soldiers were sitting, and he could not see their full picture, and he could not even guess his height.

The only thing I know is that this Qin army led by Wang Ben has been waiting for a long time. At the same time, the arrangement of the three formations in front, middle and back is more difficult to break than the three formations together. Just like the battle of Lao Yushan to defeat Li Xin, the front row of soldiers will unconsciously lean back when they are violently bumped and pass this momentum to the soldiers behind them. In the crowded and panic, the soldiers will push themselves to their comrades and take the way. The three formations are separated by each other to reduce this possibility.

The three formations are separated by each other and the wedge formations cannot rush to the bottom in one breath. The heavy cavalry is wearing huge armor, and the weight of the knights, weapons, and saddles is close to 150 kilograms. Even a war horse with 500 kilograms of weight is close to its limit. Quick steps, trotting more than 100 steps, and the last thirty steps are impacted. It is almost impossible to hit two hundred steps in one breath, hitting three Qin army arrays holding chief spears, and the last two impacts are not covered by large and large grenadiers.

Gui Jing, Jing Sheng, Qi Jizeng, Xiang Liang, E Wu and others were always behind Xiong Jing. When they saw the Qin army listing such an array, several people even suspected that there were Qin spies among the cavalry. This spaced array just restrained the charge of their heavy cavalry.

Xiong Jing seemed to know what they were thinking. After coughing, he held up a horse whip and said, "The Qin infantrymen have three formations, and our heavy cavalry also have three formations. One formation breaks and another, and he will definitely be able to kill Wang Ben."
