It is indeed a painful thing to march in a hot early summer. The helmet is heavy, and the hard iron piece is strangling the chest like a knife. The leather used for padding not only makes people sweat, but also exudes a choking stench. This is the result of rushing work. When the military officer sent out the magnificent armor, he said that this is the magnificent armor just cast last month, and there are less than a thousand sets of the entire Chu State.

Thinking of the fact that there were less than a thousand sets of things in the entire Chu State, Lu Chuang felt better. At this time, he was in the second row of the military formation, and the person next to him was Lu Gao. Both of them were determined to become a honorary soldier, so they joined the army without adding a crown.

"Stop!" The bracelet sound that was advancing stopped, and the dust that was trampled on by the military formation came from behind, and some people began to cough.

"Sit!" the chief soldier behind him shouted, the military formation was only four hundred steps away from the city of Jucheng.

‘Wow—!’ With the military order, more than 10,000 infantrymen sat down, and their neat movements made a sound of ‘Wow’. The infantry sat down, and hundreds of cavalrymen on both sides of the military formation were also stationed. Some of them were also wearing giant armor, and the horses under their crotch were wearing literary armor. Although they stopped, the horses kept sniffing and panting.

The distance of four hundred steps is actually more than five hundred meters, far beyond the combat distance. The coach is not worried that Qiren also has a fire-shooting weapon, but wants to free up the space for Qiren to fight and form a formation.

"I am the general of Chu, Qu Guang. Since you dare to occupy my Jucheng, do you dare to leave the city to fight me?" The general of the Wangzun personally stepped forward to invite the battle. This is the fastest way to eliminate Jucheng. The two sides fought and took the city back after the battle.

"General Tian has an order, I won't fight with you today." A voice came from the city tower. The Chu army had only more than 10,000 people and did not carry siege equipment. The choice of war was in the hands of the Qi people. If you don't fight Jucheng, you will never be lost. If you fight Jucheng, you will have the possibility of losing it.

"Why don't you fight?" The reunion in the chariot forced a few steps forward and asked. "Are the people of Qi afraid, all of whom are as timid as rats?"

"General Tian has an order, but he just won't fight." The person who answered was just a company commander, speaking awkward and elegant language.

"Since the Qi people are as timid as a mouse, then the general is about to attack the city." Qu Guang looked carefully at the top of the city. On the female wall, there was no way to see the Qi soldiers. Some were the corpses of the Chu army hanging outside the city wall.

The chariot turned a corner under the south gate of Jucheng, and Vulcan deliberately drove forward. Just as he thought the Qi army was lazy, a feather arrow was nailed to the carriage with a "du" sound, and several other arrows passed by. The right of the car was startled and hurriedly raised the shield, while the left of the carriage shot an arrow. Unfortunately, the arrow was blocked by the Quda on the female wall and had no results.

"Get up!" Seeing that the invitation failed, the infantry advanced again. The sound of neat steps started again, and the army slowly advanced to a distance of two hundred steps to the south gate of Jucheng. At this distance, the commander of the soldiers ordered the soldiers to sit again, and the riders on both sides simply dismounted to make the horses breathe.

Only the boatmen and soldiers on the tower ship were busy: the boatmen quickly and accurately landed their anchors, so that the catapulted ship was as close to the city wall as possible, but they were not shot by the crossbows on the city. The soldiers began to observe and calculate before the catapulted stones, and their job was to destroy the city wall of Jucheng.

Jucheng is located on the west side of Mushui, with no gate on the east side, and the city wall is only a hundred steps away from Mushui. After twenty catapulted boats landed on their anchors, the one that was about to smash the east side.

The Qi people on the city wall and the Chu soldiers sitting on the car were both looking at the twenty catapults. The boat was busy, but in less than two quarters of an hour, the catapult was ready to go. There were only a few shouts in the city and under the city, and then they shouted "Let it go!"

With a 'cruff', the boom was swung quickly, and when the leather pocket flew to the highest point, the lead bullet in the pocket was thrown out.

"Bang--!" A 100-kilogram lead bullet swept across the female wall two hundred meters away, and then continued to fly inside after smashing through the female wall. In general counties and towns only have two levels of city walls, but Ju County has three levels of city walls, inner city and Zicheng. The lead bullet hit the female wall of the outer city without diminishing momentum, and then it hits the inner city wall before it falls under the city.

"Long live!" The soldiers of Chu soldiers who were sitting in the city saw that the female wall in the outer city was smashed by a catapult, and immediately shouted long live. This is a mysterious force that they cannot understand. This force breaks the city and opens mountains and is invincible.

"That's the fire-striking weapon?" Tian Yingren was in the Nancheng Tower, but he also felt the power of the attack just now.

"Report to General, that's the weapon to throw fire, but for some reason I don't want to throw fire anymore." The strategist never thought that the weapon to throw fire can throw stones and smash the city, looking like a victim.

"What should I do if the Chu people smashed the city with fire-striking weapons?" Tian Ying soon heard the second sound of "Bang-!" The order given to him by King Qi was to defend Jucheng, but judging from the current situation, it was no longer possible to defend the city alone.

‘Bang, bang…’ Twenty catapults are launched every three minutes, and the density is so high. Not to mention whether the city wall can hold on, even if the city wall can hold on, the soldiers on the city wall can’t hold on. Every bullet hits it, it will be terrible and mud splattered everywhere. If a person is smashed, it will either be broken into two pieces or be smashed into minced meat.

Tian Ying asked, and a group of strategists looked at each other. No one could have imagined that the Chu people's fire-sucking weapon was so powerful, and the rammed earth wall was not strong. If they were to be smashed like this, Jucheng City would be destroyed.

"Let the Chu army retreat and I will fight with him!" Tian Ying shouted angrily amid the continuous "bang" sounds.

"Do our army retreat?" The lead bullet flew everywhere, and the city wall was shaking. The happy Vuguang didn't want to pay attention to the Qi people's request for battle, so he wanted to smash the city and attack it. But what the Grand Sima Mansion wanted was speed. The faster the Chu army would take the initiative.

"Okay. Our army will retreat two hundred steps, and wait for you to line up before fighting." Qu Guang did not say anything, and immediately ordered the soldiers of the Chu army to retreat four hundred steps away. The two generals of the army will be killed here and decide the ownership of Jucheng.

Seeing the catapult fired shells and smashing the wall continuously was a pleasure. The commander suddenly ordered to retreat and fight the Qi army to a decisive battle. The originally cheerful atmosphere immediately became tense. Because of the heat, the suffocating helmet was taken off by Lu Gao. Now he had to wear it back, and then he stood up with the military order and began to slowly retreat.

When the Chu army retreated, the catapult stopped dropping bombs. After a while, the south gate of Jucheng opened wide and the suspension bridge was also laid down. The first one was the Qi cavalry. Unlike the Chu army, these were just light cavalry, horses without vests, and the riders were wearing leather armor; then they came out were infantry and chariots. Each Qi army had two hundred soldiers, one soldier and one chariot.

As smoke and dust rolled, Qi army infantry set up a wide formation three hundred steps away from the Chu army as soon as they left the city. Unlike the information from the previous knowledge, the number of Qi army was not 15,000, but 19,000. The depth of the army was also twenty rows. Except for the rear army, the width was 700 rows. This width was much greater than that of the Chu army. In addition, the Qi army was actually a geese formation at the end, and the attacking momentum was unconcealed. However, at this time, the Qi army had already beaten the drums, and the entire geese formation was advancing quickly.

The array and the array are incompatible, so when they are arranged, the generals always try to hide their intentions and defeat the other party's intentions. Just now, Tian Ying's heart was always on the verge of being arranged, for fear that the other party would see his intentions. Fortunately, the generals of the Chu army did not move and just waited for him to arrange the array. At this time, the army was advancing, and he had the pleasure of a plan succeeding, and victory seemed to be right in front of him.

"Sir is so till the country is so swaying. He also holds a spear and halberd to serve as the king's guard..."

The Chu army, who had no movement, suddenly sang Chu songs when the Qi army stepped forward. Tian Yingxin shook for a while. He knew what kind of army this was, and this was the king of the Chu people! Only they were qualified to sing "For Wang Weixi".

"Scholars are brave, and the kings are all holding spears and slapped before the king..."

As the sound of drums started, the soldiers of the Chu army began to step forward. When the battle was about to break, Lu Gao, who was already heartbroken and was about to explode, his body was cold, and he finally felt the warmth of the early summer sun again. The breeze blew from the water, bringing a burst of coolness.

"Kill--!" Without waiting for the infantry, the Chu cavalry on both sides of the army had already rode their horses toward the Qi people. Gui Jing, a cavalry general, held a giant blade and rushed towards the Qi people who were running towards him. Arrows shot on his giant armor and bounced away one after another. When the two horses interlaced, the giant blades swung like white light. Not only did the bronze sword in his hands cut off, but the human beings were also cut into two pieces.

Although the weapons, armor, stirrups, and the Chu cavalry were not all Qin army martial knights who had been through the battlefield for a long time, the huge advantages brought by the equipment made them suppress the Qi people in the first round. The Qi cavalry was frightened to find that the Chu people could actually stand on the back of the horse, and use the long blade but would not fall off the horse.

"Kill!" The impact of the Chu cavalry was messy, but the Qi cavalry was even more messy. After the first round of confrontation, they did not have the courage to fight with the Chu cavalry in the second round, and they all rode their horses far away.

"Look at your feet!" As soon as his cavalry appeared, they dispersed the Qi cavalry. When Lu Gao didn't pay attention, he stepped on the comrades in the first row.

"Yes!" Lu Gao stuck out his tongue, and while agreeing, he did not dare to relax, but looked ahead.

"General, our cavalry..." Tian Ying was also watching the cavalry battle between the two sides. The Qi State ruled by Dongyi, and the Dongyi was a cavalryman. The Shang Dynasty, which was also a Yi, had a cavalry organization, and there were also a cavalry officer Ma Xiaochen. It can be said that the cavalry of Qi State was much longer than the Hufu cavalry of Zhao State, but such a cavalry was driven away by the Chu cavalry who was the most unfair to cavalry. This is extremely abnormal.

"Don't worry! Our army will win." Tian Ying turned his head and looked ahead of the military formation. The two armies had entered a hundred steps and were about to fight. "Shoot the arrow!"

"Shoot the arrow!" Dian Ling shouted, and at the forefront of the military formation, Qi army crossbowmen standing in three rows were rushing wildly.

The Qi army fired arrows, and the Chu army also fired arrows. The difference is that the Qi army fired arrows in front of the formation, and the Chu army fired arrows in the back of the formation. In the rain of arrows, both armies fell to the ground and could not get up, but there were no casualties in the people wearing giant armor in front of the Chu army. Although the ring armor could only protect half of the body, the calf had shin armor and small round shields on the thighs. The Qi people's arrows were at most jingling the giant armor.
