Chapter 86 Battle 2

"No!" Before Xiong Jing answered, Yang Qiu stopped him without surprise. "Tomorrow, the people of Qi will be angry. In the past, Zhao Wu and Han Qi led the troops of the princes to attack Qi, but the people of Qi were cautious and could not come out. Zhao Wu was angry and burned the bamboo forest of Shenchi, and the people of Qi were always resentful."

Qian Qiushi lived a few hundred years ago, and could not do anything that violated etiquette, so that the enemy could not do anything that was resentful to him. Yang Wei shook his head and said, "I attacked Qi, and the people of Qi have already blamed me. The bamboo forest has only been several miles away. If the Qi army hides an army here..."

"Just be prepared, why burn it?" Xiong Jing rejected Yang Wei's suggestion. He looked around the generals and found that all the generals had arrived. He said, "What are the good plans do you have in the battle tomorrow?"

"I will follow the king's orders." Several people looked at each other and bowed together.

"Yes, it's not honest..." Xiong Jing felt guilty. He was not afraid, he was anxious.

"The king has always been favored by heaven, so I can just follow the king's orders." Deng Sui, who should have been the chief general, said.

"If so..." Xiong Jing smiled bitterly, and he said bluntly. "What if he loses?"

"The king is wise, if he is defeated, it is God's will." Deng Sui said again, all he said was from his heart.

It was already a miracle that crossed the sea to the city of Linzi. The Ying army was impressed by all the Ying army. However, with 30,000 Ying army against 200,000 Qi army, there was never such a huge battle, and no one knew how to fight. Besides, the cavalry, the key to victory was the cavalry, especially the heavy cavalry, but the cavalry general Gui Jing was not sure that the cavalry would win.

There are two main reasons. One is that there are still too few cavalrymen, and the number of 500 heavy cavalry is even smaller. It is not clear what effect will be achieved by attacking Qi army with such a small force of up to 200,000 people;

Next is the terrain. The battlefield has been determined to be west of Linzi City, but in fact it is only west of Linzi City. The terrain of Linzi City is high in the south and low in the north. The mountains to the south end just stopped abruptly not far from Linzi City. However, there are still Niushan and Jishan in the south. Tens of thousands of people may be able to fight, and 200,000 to 300,000 people are fighting. The front is more than ten miles wide, so the terrain is too narrow;

There is a zishui in the east, which is much wider than the cylindrical water in the west of the city. There is no bridge on the zishui, so the Qi army cannot fight out of the zishui. The north city has a few miles away. The terrain is not wide, and it is impossible. The only place where you can fight is the west of the city.

However, the west of the city is not very open, especially the Qi army's array may be as wide as five or six kilometers. If the north and south are facing each other, the west and five or six kilometers away are already land. The terrain that the cavalry hates the most is muddy, especially heavy cavalry. Once the war horses are stuck in mud, they cannot run fast, and they have no way to rush forward. So Gui Jing hopes that the cavalry can be arranged on the left wing, but this is just his idea. If the king arranges him on the right wing, then he will go to the right wing.

Xiong Jing did not realize that his subordinates were already a little scared, and he thought they trusted him. Fortunately, as a king, he was more proactive than his previous life. As the founder of the Chu military system, he felt that he knew this army better than his subordinates. As for the lack of experience, this could not be compensated for in one night, and he could only give in.

"Our army array..." Xiong Jing began to speak, "The Qi army's halberds should be the throne-holder. Facing the army array of halberds, there must be eight people in the depth. It is not enough, I would rather shorten the width of the array."

"Now!" The generals agreed together.

"Xinping Jun said that the victory of formation battles is either a hit or a hook. Tomorrow our army will fight, and the cavalry can hit or a hook. When hitting, the artillery must cooperate and use a crossbow to fire with a volley so that the heavy cavalry can break the formation." Xiong Jing asked specifically: "Guanqing, how do you tell the artillery that you will hit the enemy formation? Where will you hit?"

Xiong Jing was in the drill process when he asked this. Gui Jing was shocked and replied: "Report to the king, I will tell General Gongshu with a three-meter flag to tell General Gongshu that our army will attack the enemy, where will it attack?"

The cavalry and artillery have been practicing, and the cooperation between the two sides is independent of the command of the main general. After Gui Jing finished speaking, Gongshu Ji nodded repeatedly. "When I see General Gui raise the yellow flag, I should know that he wants to attack the enemy's formation. Start with the flag, and to the left, the green flag, and to the right, the purple flag, one big flag, one mile, and one small flag, thirty steps, and when I see the flag, I stop when I see the red flag."

"Serious." Xiong Jing nodded, which was also the most primitive call of artillery fire.

"The range of Jingbiu is limited. How dare you ask if the King's artillery is placed in the Left Army or the Right Army?" Gongshuji asked.

"How do you talk about left and right at this time?" Xiong Jing said, "You need to see how the Qi army set up its formation to know whether the artillery is on the left or on the right."

"I dare to ask the king, can our army win this battle?" Gong Shuji asked unexpectedly.

"Why is it invincible?" Xiong Jing was surprised. Seeing that the generals seemed to be waiting for his answer, he finally found that they lack confidence. "The Qi army has no cavalry, only infantry, and the power on the battlefield lies completely with me. The elite soldiers of the Qi army were only 50,000 soldiers with halberds, but these 50,000 elite soldiers were using spears and spears. How could they fight with our army?

The rest of Qi army were all neglected in battle formations. They had never seen blood when they were born, and they had never experienced battle formations. They could only play the jiu, drums, and fight cocks and dogs. They couldn't even hold the wooden scepter. How could they fight with our army?

When you go back, remember to inform the soldiers that our army will win in this battle!”

After Xiong Jing finished speaking, he continued his previous words: "In this battle, the nine soldiers of Youque are based on eight people in the depth of the halberd. The wider military formation can be arranged, the wider it can be. If the cavalry is on the right, and the left corner turns inward to protect the left wing; if the cavalry is on the left, and the right corner turns inward to protect our left wing. If the enemy's array is too wide, add a giant wire mesh to protect the wing."

The generals knew that the barbed wire had not enough troops and had this problem. The battle of Ao Cang had used barbed wire for defense.

"Each division's fronts must be defended to the death, waiting for the cavalry to attack and attack." Xiong Jing reminded again. This was explained before, and the generals quickly called 'non-one' when they heard this. "However, if the enemy's formation is thin and chaotic in front of them, they can be attacked, and each division can do things at a cheap price."

There were only five to eight people in our own depth, and they could not rush up at all. The Qi army had 200,000, and the array depth could never be thin. Therefore, Xiong Jing's last advice made the generals feel distressed.

The pre-war meeting ended soon, and the generals returned to the tent to summon the soldiers to convey the orders. In fact, in addition to conveying the belief that "our army will win", the pre-war meetings of each division were more about discussing how to arrange the new soldiers newly incorporated into the division. Engineers can be used with confidence, but there are some problems with Guan Tong and Li Fu, especially Guan Tong. Most of these people were from noble families and no one had ever been to the battlefield. If too many were killed, it would be a pity that these were all cavalry seedlings.

Three days are as long as three months, but the last night is like a quarter of an hour, and it will be dawn if you are not careful.

Xiong Jing had already gotten up at the time of Ming Dynasty. Before he could even put on his armor, a scout rushed into the shogunate and reported urgently. "Report to the king, the people of Qi went out to the west gate to level the ground."

"Flat?" Xiong Jing put on a huge armor under the service of the temple people. When he heard that Qi people went out of the Ximen flat ground, he smiled and said, "Let them be flat, remember where they are flat."

"Which." The scout retreated, and Xiong Jing quickly left the tent. Although it was not dawn at this time, the generals were already waiting in the shogunate. This time, the soldiers were also in the shogunate, and the shogunate was full of people. Attacking Shaxian Xiong Jing did not wear armor, and Xiong Jing did not wear armor some time ago. Now everyone saw a soldier wearing huge armor, iron helmet on his head, and long swords hanging on his waist came out of the inner tent. They were shocked. They had never seen Xiong Jing dress like this before.

"I... I have seen the king." The generals were first and then, and hurriedly bowed to him.

Xiong Jing felt their surprise, but the man remained silent. He walked to the throne and bowed to the generals before saying, "Qin State is very anxious to attack Zhao, but the King of Qi broke his promise and was fat, colluded with Qin, and defeated the alliance between Chu and Qi. Can all the nobles fight?"

"Wei! Wei! Wei!" After Xiong Jing said that, the officer in the shogunate shouted immediately, full of fighting spirit.

"The Qi army has 200,000, and our army is only 30,000. Do you dare to fight?" Xiong Jing asked again loudly, he wanted to arouse morale now.

"Wei! Wei! Wei!" It was cold in the morning. At this time, everyone in the shogunate was already warm. Their voices rushed to the top of the tent, shaking the entire military camp.

"The East China Sea is strong and storm, and it has crossed the sea for more than 2,500 miles to come here. If you win today, Qi will fight against Qin in the future; if you don't win today, Qi will surrender to Qin in the future. Can you win?" Xiong Jing was also excited, and he finally stopped and shouted.

"Wei! Wei! Wei!" The sound of the sound came again, everyone's blood was boiling, and every pair of eyes was firm.

"Good!" Xiong Jing nodded. He did not immediately issue a military order, but said: "The formation of 200,000 Qi troops will be slow. I should wait for it. I will order the divisions to be on guard and wait."

The advantage of having few people is that there is no need to take any risk in the flat land in the west of the city. The 30,000 Ying Division can set up targeted formations after the formation of the Qi army begins to appear. As for the sudden attack by the Qi army, it is really hard to ask for. The Qi army is of varying quality, and the regular formation battle is fine. Once the queue is chaotic, the result will be disastrous.

The Chu army camp was waiting quietly outside the city. In Linzi City, the fire that had been lit for most of the night was finally extinguished. It took a lot of effort to form a 9,000 new soldiers in the Chu army into four divisions. The 130,000 new soldiers in the Qi army were about to establish a corps, but the Grand Sima Mansion and each Sima racked his brains.

There was no war in forty-five years, and the officers of the Qi army were not enough. If there was a division in the country, it might be possible to use the Liwei, but You Zong could do it. Thirteen military commanders and sixty-five brigade commanders could be drawn from the elite soldiers and the capital soldiers, but sixty-five company commanders, sixty-five drummers, slingers, and flag bearers would make people blind.

Without enough officers, the newly summoned 130,000 people cannot be commanded. Don’t these 130,000 people can do it? Don’t the military formations envisioned by these 130,000 people can’t be arranged; can you take a few days to fight? Can you take a few days to fight against Qi King Tian Jian, you will be unhappy, and he must fight today.
