Chapter Thirty-Eight Side Strike 3

An hour was not long, and it was only ninety minutes later. Ninety minutes later, the Qin army collapsed, and a great victory came. The danger of Chu's destruction was no longer there, and he also wanted to grant titles and grant titles to the town, just like Zhuang Xin, who advised the King of Chu to make up for the loss of sheep in the 38th year. He led more than 100,000 soldiers from the east and collected more than ten cities by the river. He was named Yangling Jun by the King of Chu and gave him the land of Huaibei.

Although the Chu example is not a royal family's fiefdom, but a city with political and military merits was acquired for three generations, but this is also three generations. More importantly, the reputation of the Chu army among the countries and the reputation of the Xiang family will inevitably rise, which is what Xiang Yan really cares about. The last time the Qin army was defeated was the Battle of Hewai nine years ago. After the Qin army was defeated, the Qin army had to retreat to Hangu Pass to guard the dangerous guard and lick their wounds. Apart from the battle of the riverside with the crowd thirty-eight years ago, the real main force victory was won when Xiang Yan could not remember. Since his birth and even before his birth, he heard that the Chu army was defeated and the Qin army won.

"You can pay homage to our ancestors." Thinking of the fact that Qin and Chu had lost more than fewer defeats in the past hundred years, they lost Ying and moved their capital, Xiang Yan couldn't help but feel wet in her eyes, and she was sad and unable to do so.

However, just as Xiang Yan was excited, the Qin army surrounded by shallow pockets was adjusting the array, and the array of the central army of the Chu army began to turn to both sides. The sergeant commanders in the array did not care that this steering would aggravate the chaos of the Qin army, but they had to form a solid defense line on the left and right sides to prevent the Chu army from attacking horizontally, otherwise more than 100,000 soldiers would die without a place to die.

The sound of killing and the sound of shouting. The Qin army, which was already chaotic, became even more chaotic. However, when the Chu army's left and right armies were slowly attacking, the Qin army quickly formed a defensive line against the side, and some sharp men stood in front. The fight between trapped beasts was still cruel. The Chu army could still move forward slowly before, but when the sharp men held beryllium in front, they fought for their lives, and even fought back with their lives, the Chu army's attack immediately stopped and could not advance again.

The left army of the Chu army, Dongye Gu, Meng Hui and others of the Lu army were furious. Looking at the Lu army that had stopped advancing, Dongye Gu wanted to rush to the first line and attack the right side so that the Qin army would collapse, but he was not in the first line. Even if he was in the first line, it would be useless. The two armies could not change the battle situation alone.

"Shake, why don't your team enter quickly?!" Higashinogu's sword had been pulled out, and he looked like he wanted to kill someone.

"Report to Sima, the Qin people formed a formation, and our army was not allowed to advance!" Yan Huazi was led by the Lu army and was under his command.

At this time, the number of people in Lu was about 800,000, and the male was 400,000. In ancient times, the average age was only 200,000, and the Fuji people were only half, but only 200,000. The 200,000 Fuji people were not fully sent. Someone in the rear had to make military weapons and transport food and fodder. Two of them were 140,000. Of these 140,000 and 50,000, the troops who were transported and miscellaneous were eliminated, and there were less than 100,000 soldiers who could fight; in the end, the 60,000 people who were guarding Qi people, only 30,000 Lu troops went to Cai County to save Chengyang.

The 30,000 Lu troops were still able to advance westward to fight under the condition of food, fodder and water transportation, but this was already the strongest of the many Chu troops, second only to the Yingdu divisions, which was more than 40,000 people. When Xiang Yan set up the formation, he placed the Lu army and the Yue army behind the left and right armies, and it made sense that he did not resist the Qin army. Now, this has also become the reason why Lu territory cannot advance if it attacks.

"Why can't you go in?" Higashino Gu shouted. His white beard flew away, and his bronze sword was waving in his hand, as if he was about to stab Yan Huazi to death with one sword. "Before this battle, didn't I ask you to select elite soldiers in front?"

"Report to Sima," Yan Huazi was really crying. Looking at Dongyegu's bronze sword, he wished he could kill him on the sword. "The elite soldiers of our army have been killed. The ordinary soldiers are as tall as those of Qin people, and their bodies are as strong as women. How can they enter? They cannot enter!!"

"You—, you—!!" Dongye Gu ran out of anger, and the copper sword stabbed, and he was neither swayed nor swung. He finally fell to the ground in anger. As Sima, the capital of Lu, how could Dongye Gu not know the current situation of Lu Master. Lu places value Confucianism, and emphasizes Confucianism, and naturally prefers business. If you ignore business, it means that the people are poor. This is fine. Another characteristic of respecting Confucianism is to respect the elderly. The result of respecting the elderly is that the elderly need to eat meat every day. What a precious thing is, but in Lu, the elderly eat meat every day, and ordinary people can only see meat during the New Year.

"Bian Que was famous all over the world. When he passed Handan and heard that his noble lady was a doctor, he was a doctor of the lower class. When he passed Luoyang and heard that the Zhou people loved the elderly, he was a doctor of the ear and eyes. When he came to Xianyang and heard that the Qin people loved the children, he was a doctor of the pediatrics. Follow the customs and changes."

Handan is the State of Zhao. The noble ladies of Zhao did not care for women, but Zhao loved beautiful girls and actors, and Zhao girls were famous all over the world; Luoyang was the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and Zhou and Lu were the same customs, so the elderly ate meat, while the rest ate vegetarians; Qin people loved children (not young girls). In other words, the real Qin people only focused on labor and strengthened men. Those who ate meat at home were strong men, and the elderly ate meat? That was a dream.

Qin destroyed Yiqu, and the ground was connected to the grassland. The meat of sheep and horses was common. Although the commercial law "reduces the rent and makes it ten times more simple", it is not difficult for elites to eat meat. It should be noted that fighting in Qin has become a business. How can you pay lords if you don't eat meat? The Central Plains are densely populated and naturally cannot be grazed. The meat eaten by ordinary people is nothing more than dog meat. It's just that there are many people and thirstworthy people. How many meat can a dog eat on a shit-eating dog? Common people eat dogs just to taste meat. Whoever can eat dog meat every day can be as brave as Fan Kuai - the difference between eating vegetarian food and meat can be seen by Fan Kuai.

In addition to diet differences, after Shang Yang's reform, the Qin State only focused on farming and fighting. The elite soldiers in the army were not only tall and strong, but also skilled in fighting. The Lu soldiers, who had not had a few times in their lives, could still attack and advance at the beginning, but when the Qin army soldiers formed an array and fought to the death, the differences between the soldiers of the two armies were immediately reflected.

How can vegetarians beat meat? How can those who read poetry and books and learn pseudo-six arts fight more than those who fight hard and kill people and get titles? The Qin army leader waved beryllium, and the first row of Lu soldiers was broken and they were killed immediately. When they advanced again, the high-ranking and large-scale fierce soldiers kicked him, and the front row of Lu soldiers fell down and the back row also fell down, and the whole group fell. If the Qin army had not been determined to defend at this time, the Lu army's array would have been in chaos under the recoil.

‘The body is like a child, and the strength is like a woman’. This is by no means Yan Huazi’s excuse. The height of the Qin knights must be more than seven feet and five inches (1.73cm), and it is not convenient to jump on the horses too short. However, it cannot be too tall. The most important thing for a cavalry without a stirrup saddle is to balance the body, not tall and strong. However, the sharps are different. The selection of sharps is only to break the formation. Seven feet and five inches are considered short, and the height is generally more than seven feet and six inches (175cm), and the tallest ones are nearly seven feet and eight inches (180cm), and a few are even eight feet and (184cm) tall.

——Although the Terracotta Warriors, who are 180 cm tall, it seems to be exaggerated in later generations, it is not necessarily false to choose a burialist for the emperor, but the height of ordinary Qin people must be reduced by 10 cm.

The Qin people could select tall soldiers, and the Lu people could of course also choose them, but the Qin State was under a population of 15 million at this time, and the Lu State had a population of only 800,000. How could the tall soldiers selected from the 800,000? In the end, the soldiers in the front of the Lu Army were only seven feet three inches, seven feet five inches. When the first row was killed in battle, some of the soldiers in the rear row did not even have seven feet (161cm). 161 vegetarians faced 184 meat-eating people, and those who studied poetry and books were hard to kill, what else could there be besides beating?

The Lu Army could not attack at all, and because the Lu Army could not attack at all, the other troops could not advance. Dongye Gu knew the truth and was ashamed and angry as he had to throw his sword to the ground. Of course, he did not forget his responsibilities as a general and quickly sent someone to report to Xiang Yan.

"The Lu Army cannot advance? Why is this so?" Xiang Yan was also shocked by the return of the Lu Army, just like Dong Yegu.

"Reported to the General, all the strong men of our army have died, and the rest are with the Qin people..." The person who was sent to the commander was Dongye Gu's close friend Dongye Ge. As a Lu person, he really didn't want to convey the humble and Lu words of the Lu people, but Xiang Yan stared at him with a bright look. He had to say: "... Compared with the Qin soldiers, I am a child, and I am as strong as a woman, and I can no longer enter."

"..." After Tonono Ge said this, Xiang Yan opened his mouth and forgot to breathe. Before Tonono Gu returned, he had thought of countless reasons for not being able to enter, but he never expected it to be this one.

"Why did General Dongye say this?" Peng Zong's reaction was not as violent as Xiang Yan, but he looked dissatisfied with blame. "My central army can still break the Qin soldiers and attack the crossbow formation. What's the use of body and strength? The two armies fight in formation, only morale! At this time, the Qin army is in a vain, and the left and right armies will attack him regardless of life or death. If not, wouldn't the tens of thousands of people in the central army die in vain?"

"Sima, Sima..." After being criticized, Dongye Ge bowed repeatedly, and he had to shout injustice: "The attack of the central army is the King of the Palace Armor, and the Palace Armor is all selected by our Chu State. How can I compare with my Lu soldiers?"

"You--" Peng Zong was also angry. When Ge Dongye reminded him, he naturally remembered that the sanitation and Gongjia were also selected. Among the various troops, even the king's soldiers could not compete with the sanitation palace. How can the county soldiers compare? How can the weakest Lu soldiers among the county soldiers compare?

"How about the soldiers from Yue?" Peng Zong argued for the argument and mentioned the Yue people of the Right Army. "The Yue people are born short, but they are not afraid of life and death, and they also attack hard. Why is your Lu army not as good as the Yue people?"

"Report——" Peng Zong was about to motivate the Lu army with the short Yue soldiers, but he didn't want to interrupt him with a hurry. The visitor stepped forward and bowed, "Report to the general, the army Sima, and the Qin people used the formation of sharp soldiers to form a formation as a defense, and our army will not be able to advance!"

"Your army cannot advance either?! Your army cannot advance either?!" Peng Zong pointed to the military officer sent by Yanglu, and was so angry that he smiled without anger: "Can you know how much effort the general and us have put into trouble to make the Qin army fall into trouble? How many soldiers have been killed or injured in the central army? Wait, if you don't advance in return, you can comfort their heroes?! This will ruin our army's strategy and lead to the defeat of the army?"

Peng Zong became more and more anxious and became more and more angry. With a choking sound, he pulled out his sword and was about to kill the person who reported the news. He didn't want to stretch out his hand and pressed him tightly. "This is our soldiers who are not as good as the Qin people. What's the use of killing him?" Xiang Yan, who calmed down, asked while sighing. "For the sake of the present, we should use arrows and fire to attack him. Come! Ask if the catapult can be shot quickly?"
