Chapter 16 Inspection 2

The flag was flying between Youque and the three armies. The space of this seventy-step was nearly ten miles wide. Apart from the catapult and Jinghou, there were only a row of people and horses under the flag on the empty field. Looking at Xiang Yan of this team, Peng Zong and others were worried that Xiong Jing would collide the military formation, but the flag was first forward and then right, probably trying to go around from one end of the right army to the front of the military formation.

"What should I do?" Peng Zong was a little dazed at the flag flag. He had received a news report early in the morning that he did not send the king out of the camp last night, so he knew that Zhou Wen Yangzi had ruined the matter.

"Today, the Qin army will not come out to form a camp, so it's better to inspect the king." Xiang Yan's eyes were still staring at the flag, and the flag was getting to the right. This was the direction of the sun, and thousands of golden lights were scattered on the earth from the east. Although there was no warmth on his face and hands, the white frost on the dead grass was melting and disappearing.

"The king ordered each division to record the names of the first three armored soldiers for later use." Guan You, the commander of the central army, said with great concern. Someone told him what happened to Qisi's army soon. "The king also asked the prince why the princes did not stand in the first line after the descendants."

"General Guan, how can the children of the public stand in the first line?! There is a difference between high and low, that is the position of common people." There are many generals around Xiang Yan.

"The king is also standing in the first line!" Yi Yangjun coughed heavily, and Yi Yang's army, who is the Right Army, temporarily returned to Youque.

"How can the king stand in the first line?" The generals were surprised, and more people asked questions in confusion.

"Yes. How can the king be with the common people? This is...This is..."

"Whenever the king stands in the first ranks and countries, he will not hear about it. The rituals should not be abolished. When the king is young, please advise the king that the king should respect it and must not be with the common people." Dongye Gu bowed. The army of Lu, who was the left army, was also in the Youque.

"It is indeed unheard of that kings are listed in the first line. However, in ancient times, the brave were listed in front of the formation, and the weak were listed behind the formation." Peng Zongben also opposed the kings being listed in front of the formation, but he could not listen to the tone of the generals, and knew that the son of the nobleman Su was listed behind the formation. "The king was wise and powerful, and his words in front of the formation would surely boost our army's morale. Our army won a great victory in this battle."

"Not good!" Someone reached out to the right, and saw the right army's array fluctuating. All the soldiers were waving their swords and shouting: "Zhao! Zhao! Zhao——!"

"Why did the Right Army exclaim?" The generals were shocked. Fortunately, it was not at night, otherwise they really thought it was a camp roar.

"Zhao—!Zhao—!Zhao—!" The Right Army's chaotic shouts gradually formed a stream, and 20,000 Yue soldiers shouted in unison. The cry was deafening. The other three armies were all shocked and did not understand what was wrong with the Right Army.

"General, the Yue 'Zhao' means 'king', and Yue's soldiers are calling for the king." Seeing that the general's face also changed, the strategist behind him quickly explained, and the generals breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"General, with such morale, you will win this battle." The entire Right Army went crazy. Not only did they shout loudly, but they were also constantly jumping - the disciples in the formation could not see the king, but could only jump.

"King..." Like Xiang Yan and others, hundreds of palace armor were also startled by the shouts of the Right Army, and the spears in their hands were aimed at the Yuezhang in front. Fortunately, the Right Historian behind Xiong Jing knew Yue language and knew that they were calling "King".

"What should I do?" Beads of sweat were already emerging from Xiong Jing's forehead. At this time, he was behind the Right Army array and had not yet turned to the Right Army array.

"This is after the military formation, and the courtesy cannot be performed." The Right Historian not only understood Yue language, but also knew military courtesy. He stroked his beard and said, "The king should go around to the front of the formation and bow to the soldiers."

When a king looks at the court, he must first bow to his ministers. The earthly bows to his common surnames. When he bows to his different surnames, the heavenly bows to the same surname. This is called three bows. After the three bows, the ministers return the court, and the court meeting officially begins. Xiong Jing knows that the earthly bows, so that the height of his hands should not be higher than his chest and pushes his hands.

"Zhao—!Zhao—" The cry was like thunder. Wherever Xiong Jing was, the soldiers looked at him. Xiong Jing no longer waited for the palace armor he was escorted on foot, but rode his horse and quickly came to the formation and bowed to the soldiers.

There were only twenty people in the military formations of twenty rows, and there were armors in the front row. After they were at the back, they were only colorful mahjong. Whether it was armors or mahjong, they all held their weapons and shouted loudly in the queue. The polite officers kept taking off their hedges and saluting Xiong Jing. The polite commoners who were not polite had never been so close to the king. They looked at Xiong Jing with burning eyes, and had forgotten to shout, and they didn't understand why their king saluted him.

"Soft and soft, Chang Laize is Changzhou Prefecture..." Suddenly someone started singing, and the song was Yue language, which Xiong Jing couldn't understand, so he rushed over to translate the elegant language and elegant translation.

"Soft, soft, soft, soft, soft, and soft, today, how are you going to go, line up and hold the sword

(What is the good day to hold a spear this morning?)

Chang Laize to Changzhou Prefecture—When is the day today, I will be with the king

(Who is standing on this field with? You are with the king.)

(I am extremely ashamed of being humble and humble)

Manyu Yu Zhao - my heart is almost stubborn and endless, I will meet the king

(How much I wish I could see the king, [I finally saw it today])

The Qin Dynasty seeped through the seepage - there are trees on the mountain, and the trees have branches on the wood

(There are bushes on the mountain, and the branches on the bamboo)

Follow the rivers and lakes - I am happy to you, you don’t know

(Do you know? How much admiration and attachment to you in my heart)”

The Right Army, which was about one kilometer wide, moved slowly in his eyes. He bowed to the soldiers every time he walked about two hundred meters. Every soldier was singing. The song had already put all their strength into it, and the singing was blushing and the whole body was hot.

The Southern Barbarians's tongue, even if the lyrics of the Right Shishi were translated into Yayan, Xiong Jing could not understand what they were singing, but knew that each of them was watching themselves and everyone was singing passionately. Xiong Jing believed that after this, even if everyone died in battle, these Yue soldiers would have no regrets. However, they were ragged and covered with barefoot hair. Only the first three rows of escorts had armor, and the back row was not in length, and some were tied with hemp ropes. Perhaps they were worried that they were not solid. Although they had been together, Xiong Jing had no idea that their equipment was so broken before they were wearing armor.

"How many cavalry knives do we bring?" Xiong Jing asked in a paw.

"There are only hundreds of people. Don't worry about being weak but not being equal. The king must not..." The Right Shi guessed Xiong Jing's meaning and hurriedly stopped him.

The cavalry sword is given to the cavalry. Not to mention the rewards to the Yue soldiers, it is not enough to give them to the riders. Xiong Jing had to give up when he heard this. But he didn't give these Yue soldiers anything, and he felt really sorry: these ragged soldiers had traveled thousands of miles to work for his own life.

"The last general has seen the king." Yang Lu, the commander of the Right Army, rushed over on a horse.

"No gift." Xiong Jing stared at him, "Why are the Yuezhang Army so deprived?"

"Report to the King: all the troops and armor of Yue were left by the Yue Kingdom in the past. It took too long, so it was defeated." Yang Lu replied with a tough forehead.

"Absurd! The former king of the king destroyed Yue, and it has been nearly seventy years since then, and has not changed his armor in seventy years?" Xiong Jing was very dissatisfied.

"As far as the last general knows, there is no one." Yang Lu had to answer according to the facts. King Wei of Chu was the most powerful time when Chu State was in its state. During King Huai, there were rebellions in Yuedi, so they did not recruit soldiers in Yuedi. Although King Xiang had recruited soldiers from the east, most of them were soldiers from counties and towns on Huai, and only once, the soldiers from Yuedi went to the expedition. That time, there was no war. Therefore, the armor and soldiers in Yuedi were not replaced and renewed, and were old and ruined.

After Yang Lu finished speaking, the Right Shi added, and Xiong Jing asked helplessly: "Do you still have soldiers and armor in the camp? At least the first three ranks need to prepare armor."

"No." Yang Lu's answer once again disappointed Xiong Jing. "It is not easy to get the armor and armor in the end, and there is no good armor."

"Is Yuedi so poor?" Xiong Jing sighed. He knew that in this era, soldiers were all offering food, weapons, cattle and horses, and armor. Some materials such as military rations were distributed by the state, but these were still taken from the people, and the cattle and horses were even more expensive to buy. The Yuedi looked like this, which only means that they were very poor.

"Report to the King: Yue is not as good as the Central Plains. Although there are no starving deaths, there are few rich families." Yang Lu replied. He was a Sima in Yue for many years and was familiar with the local people's conditions. "However, Yue soldiers dare to die, but they are not comparable to soldiers in the Central Plains."

"The deathful man has no rhinoceros armor, but the rhinoceros armor is in the back of the formation. What kind of battle is this?" Xiong Jing couldn't help but sigh, no longer paying attention to Yang Lu, and rushed straight to the central army array amid the singing of the Yue soldiers. After listening to it, Yang Lu just stared at him blankly.

The central army was four kilometers wide, with a line of 4,000 people each, with a total thickness of 80,000 people. In addition to the Ying army, there were also Xixian troops, Qisi troops, Liao troops, Xiyang troops, Xiacai troops, Juchao troops, Zhongli troops, Feiling troops, Shuxian troops, Jianyang troops...

Instead of singing like the Right Army, they shouted loudly and shouted "Welcome to the King", especially the Yingdu army. Many people were still worshiping among the arrays, and the array immediately became a mess. Seeing this, Xiong Jing had to turn his head to look north to see if the Qin army had gone out of the camp. Fortunately, there was no movement in the north, and there were only Qin army knights three hundred steps away watching from afar.

"Let them not bow down and bow down." Xiong Jing ordered his subordinates when he bowed.

"The king has his destiny, but the Jie will not worship him. The king has his destiny, but the Jie will not worship him..." It was better to shout than to send an order. Gong Jia immediately shouted. There was no such person who worshipped him.

"I have seen the king." There were many flags, Xiong Jing slowly went west, and finally came to the Xiyang army formation. Zeng Xia ran out to salute.

"The Xiyang Army." He only inspected two battalions in the morning, so Xiong Jing naturally remembered the Xiyang Army where everyone had armor.

"It is the army of Xiyang." Zeng Xia shouted, "I have kept in mind the king's order and ordered the sons of the nobles in the army to be listed at the forefront of the military formation."

"Great kindness!" The front party of Xiyang's army was indeed dressed in extraordinary armor, and Xiong Jing was very happy to see it.

"Report to the king: I will go to death and defeat the Qin army." Zeng Xia shouted another slogan, and Xiong Jing became even more pleasant after hearing this.

"If all the teachers are like Xiyang's troops, why are the Qin people afraid?" Xiong Jing only looked at the first line of armored soldiers, but did not see Zeng Xia's eyes blinking.
