Although the weather was not surprisingly cold after the snow, although the snow was insufficient, the road was completely blocked, and although this weather was not suitable for field battles, the next morning, the Chu army still struggled to advance fifteen miles and set up camp three miles west of the sand sea. The two armies were separated by a gutter and could be seen at a glance. At this time, the gutter was frozen, half a foot thick, and it was no longer an obstacle to the two armies' combat.

But the gutter was the ditch in the city where the Qin army ditched the Yellow River water. The embankments on both sides of the ditches were more than meter higher than the ground. The top of the dam was less than two meters away from the ditches, and the ditches were level with the water surface of the gutter. The embankments were not rammed earth walls built by the Qin army along the ditches, but were steep slopes of about 40 or 50 degrees incline.

No matter how delicate the shogunate sand table is, it does not have the three-dimensional feeling of being there. When Xiong Jing saw this embankment that was more than meter above the ground, he felt that the place where the two armies fought would take place in the gutter, and there was no better barrier to avoid shells than the embankment.

"The ditch is only more than 370 steps wide. If the Qin people set up a formation here, 400,000 people will be divided into formations, which may be insufficient." When the Chu army was camping, Xiong Jing went out to explore the battlefield. Zhuang Wudi, Ele, Dongyegu and others also followed. Standing on the embankment and looking at the gutter river that was only one mile above, Dongyegu felt that the two armies should not be fighting here.

"It should be here." Zhuang Wudi, Peng Zong and Xiong Jing's agreement was the same. "The Qin people lined up here, but I didn't see the back formation. The front formation did not support it, and the back formation came forward. I could not attack it with cannons. Fortunately, the range of the catapult was insufficient, otherwise..."

The movable stone catapult used by the Qin army was very familiar with the shogunate. This is another form of Jing crossbow. The difference is that Jing crossbow is two crossbow arms, and the direction of rebound is opposite to each other. The bow string is installed on the two crossbow arms. Once the machine is loosened, the crossbow arms will quickly hit the outside, quickly flattening the bow string forward, and the arrow shot out;

The elastic stone catapult is a crossbow arm. The torsion spring connected to the crossbow arm is not upright, but becomes horizontal, and the direction of rebound is upward. Once the mechanical bracket is loosened, the crossbow arm will hit upwards and throw out the ignition oil bomb at the tail of the arm. A crossbow arm fires a heavier stone bomb, and the range is naturally smaller than that of the Jing crossbow. The captured catapults have also tested the shooting, and the Qin stone bomb is no more than 120 steps, and the ignition oil bomb is at most 180 steps.

"More than 370 steps..." Xiong Jing thought about this distance. The depth of the Chu army array was not thick, and the artillery array was enough. However, from the endless plain to the river channel that was only more than one mile wide, his vision was immediately blocked. He didn't like this feeling very much.

"Report to Da Ao," Xiong Jing was thinking about this somewhat cramped battlefield and was rushing towards the west of the camping camp. The snow would settle for a while. Even so, it would be very difficult for the horses to run in the snow.

"Reported to Da Ao, Zhao army, Wei army... is coming!" The knight running was Quan Bin. It was inconvenient to run in the snow. Longma Sanli Road was running all over. He was sitting on the horse and pointed at Daliang: "The army of Zhao and Wei are coming." After he said, "I heard that the Qi army is coming."

"How many miles does the refractive power depend on me?" Xiong Jing exhaled a long white breath. He never thought that He Zong would really succeed.

"Sixty miles." Quan Feng bowed. "It is not easy to get through the snow, and Doctor Qu said that he will arrive tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Xiong Jing subconsciously said. Today, he went forward fifteen miles and the war will begin tomorrow. If he had to wait for the Qi army led by Vorang, he would have to start the war the next day. If the soldiers of the Qi army who arrived were extremely tired, the entire army would have to rest for at least one day to start the war. Three days were cold and four days were warm. The war on the fourth day might snow again, and then delay.

"There are 50,000 troops in the Qi army," Zhuang Wudi saw Xiong Jing's hesitation and advised him. "If the Qin people escape, I can snowboard and sled to chase him."

"I think we should wait for Qi people to arrive." Dongye Gu also agreed with Zhuang Wudi's suggestion. If the Qi army had 10,000 or 20,000 people, then we would give up. The Qi army had more than 50,000 people. Although the more than 50,000 people could not be used as war soldiers, the width of the array could be increased by at least 1,000 rows.

"The snow has not frozen, but it is too deep, which is not conducive to the battle." Gui Jing also said.

Gui Jing's words left Xiong Jing speechless, and the snow did not freeze all as it was cut yesterday. In an era when the climate was warmer than two thousand years later, it rarely snowed south of the Yellow River. The Chu army advisers had a congenital omission of cognition about the severe cold weather. Unless the snow melted, it could only rely on its own gravity or trampling and settlement, and gradually became stronger from looseness and lack. At that time, there would be shallow marks on the feet, but they would not even sink their calf. In this case, war horses cannot gallop, and infantrymen are difficult to rush into spears, and only artillery guards have no effect.

Xiong Jing had no reason to oppose waiting for the Qi army. Only Xiang Liang in the shogunate was resentful to the Qi people. When Zhuang Wudi said he wanted to wait for the Qi army to arrive and fight again, he jumped out of the mat and glared at Zhuang Wudi like an enemy: "What's the use of Qi people?! The Qi people and the Qin people are coupled with each other, and want to make them echo inside and outside, will they turn against each other in war?"

"General Xiang calmed down!" Zhuang Wudi hurriedly attended the meeting and bowed deeply in front of Xiang Liang. "This Qi people are not the Qi people. This Qi people are farmers in Qi, people in Qi, and people in Qi. They were lobbying by the Qu Doctor, and they went to Daliang to fight..."

"Don't listen! The Qi people are the Qi people, how can they come from each other?" It can be seen that Xiang Liang was trying hard to restrain his excitement. If King Zhuang was not the Sima of the Army, he would have already drawn his sword. "Reported to Da Ao, I think it should not be like this. There are many marquis and spies from Qi people, and they will definitely collude with the Qin people."

"Do you hate Qi people?" Xiong Jing turned his mind a few times, but asked directly. Seeing Xiang Liang did not answer, he said again: "The reason why the Qi people went to Daliang to fight was that they wanted our Chu State to help them return to the country to seize power after the war. They were the enemy of Qi State."

The generals of the Qi people all thought it was a refractive lobbying. Only Xiong Jing and Shouying's Naojing knew that this was an exchange of interests. From Xiong Jing's view, Qi State was similar to modern France, and sooner or later it would break out in bourgeois revolution. Zhengzhou merchants were also very strong, but Zhengzhou merchants had no entity. Due to geographical reasons, they either engaged in trade or were involved in finance. Qi State merchants had workshops and entities, and although Qi State had many families.

General Sima could not have the impression of Xiong Jing, but they were all very surprised when they heard Xiong Jing's words. Dongye Gu instinctively said: "How can Qu Zi promise this?!"

"The refractive power is the envoy of Chu. What can the refractive power do since the refractive power promised? And the refractive power was just to help Qi people start the foreign court." Xiong Jing's expression exceeded the refractive power's approval, because he saw more and more clearly the part that would inevitably happen in the future. Although he came from later generations, although he built a steam engine, he was less and less willing to start an industrial revolution. Not only did he not want to, he also wanted to stop it.

He is the king. Do the king support the bourgeoisie to redeem himself? How did King Louis XVI die? Once the merchants and merchants in Qi overthrew the nobles of Tian, ​​sent the King of Qi and the Queen of Qi to the guillotine, and made the Qi people created for uniting the common people into real creation to create the Qi nation, and established a Qi republic similar to the bourgeois republic, the countries in the world would suffer.

"I think that merchants and marketers should not fight with each other." Peng Zong learned that the Qi people participated in the war for this reason, and immediately opposed these people joining the war.

"Yes." E Le also said, "People who are from the city never join the army. People in Qi and fight with each other, how about people in Chu and I?"

"We shouldn't fight with you." Higashino Gu said.

"Da Ao, they shouldn't have fought with each other." Zhou Hou Ruo, Ruo Ao Du Xing and others immediately agreed. Although they did not know the history that Xiong Jing knew and could not see the trends that Xiong Jing saw. But instinctively, whether it was conservative or conservative, they made extremely correct decisions.

Xiong Jing raised his hand and pressed their voices, saying, "Duguang has promised that he will either fight with the war, and fight with the country to help Qi start the foreign court; or he will not help him start the foreign court without the war."

"Da Ao, there is a lot of snow tomorrow, so it's still not to fight." Xiong Jing asked the generals to do multiple-choice questions, and Zhuang Wudi directly told this that it was not feasible. The weather seemed to have become an enemy that was even more terrible than the Qin army, forcing and restricting the Chu army. Xiong Jing successfully convinced Xiang Liang, and the weather successfully convinced him and the generals of the army to lead, forcing the Chu army to wait for the arrival of Quguang. During this waiting period, the 100,000 Qin troops led by Qi Xi north of Daliang were in a hurry. They did not go to the sand sea, but received the order from the king to return to Huai County.
