With communication and command in the Warring States Period, once the military formation is arranged, it will be difficult to change the formation. However, the reserve teams are different. A sufficient reserve team can not only change the formation, but also completely change the outcome of the war.

Later generations believed that East Asia's military technology was lagging behind West Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean world for nearly a thousand years on the basis that there were still chariot wars in the Warring States Period, and cavalry could not fight independently, and they were traveling flowers instead of pure teams. Some people believed that East Asia's military technology was lagging behind West Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean world for nearly a thousand years. However, at the battle level, West Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean were not established and used until nearly two hundred years later in the Caesar era. The Chu State had been traveling since King Wu of Chu, which is equivalent to saying that West Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean world were lagging behind East Asia for nearly a thousand years at the battle level.

Mou Zong held a reserve team of 40,000 people in his hand, which was more than all the Chu army combined. Even if the Chu army defeated the Qi army array, these 40,000 people could make up for the shortage. The Chu army was different. In order to maximize the width of the array, not only was the array extremely thin, but there were also few reserve teams left. Youque only had nine soldiers and two thousand four hundred and thirty people. Once the halberds broke through the thin depth of the Chu army, these reserve teams were likely to be unable to turn the tide.

The capture of King Chu was an order issued by King Jian of Qi. Everything Mou Zong did was to defeat the Chu army and capture the King of Chu. As for the wailing of the common people, he was not worried. The family of the Qi army was all in the city. Even if there were no families, once they left the city, they would work hard to fight to survive under the clamping of the Chu army's spear and the spear behind them.

The task of 130,000 new soldiers was to defend the left and right wings of the front line, the task of 50,000 halberd soldiers was to defeat the central army of the Chu army, and the task of 40,000 reserve troops was to fill the gap in front and supervise the battle of 130,000 new soldiers in front.

Seeing the five-kilometer-long Qi army array gradually taking shape, Mou Zong couldn't help but smile on his face. He wanted to know how the Chu army would line up under such a formation. They had only 30,000 people. If there were eight people in depth, then there were only 3,750 rows, which was about two-thirds of the width of the Qi army's formation.

"Report to the military advisor, each Chu army has five people." The strategists around him have been observing the Chu army's formation.

"Five people?" Mou Zong couldn't believe it, although the facts were right in front of him. The 50,000 halberd army had twenty-five elements in depth, with a formation of two thousand lines wide, and the Chu army was opposite, with eight people in the depth of two thousand lines. Apart from these two thousand lines, although there were as many as forty people in the Qi army opposite, their military formation was only five people who could not be as thin as the depth of them.

"Our army may..." Shi Yi was a little excited. He wanted to adjust the position of the halberd army and let the halberd army face the depths of five people.

"No." Mou Zhong shook his head without thinking, "The Chu army is fast and our army is slow, and I will change the enemy as well. It is better not to change."

"Well." Shi Yi knew what Mou Zong said was reasonable. "One of the more three people our army can also defeat it."

"The Chu army is narrow, our army may attack it sideways." Du Fu Tian Yang said, looking at the wings of the Chu army.

In addition to the two thousand rows opposite the central army and the halberd army, the Chu army also had more than 900 rows on both sides (actually 912 rows on both wings). With the cavalry in the array, the entire army was less than 4,500 rows, and the army seemed very tight. The Qi army had two thousand rows of halberd army, 130,000 new soldiers and 10,000 city soldiers, totaling 5,500 rows.

The Qi army had one thousand more arrays than the Chu army, and it was the most convenient to encircle and attack. Therefore, Tian Yang said this.

"No!" Mou Zhong still refused, "Tie the water, Shen Chi protects my wings. If the two wings go forward and attack, they will definitely be ridden by the Chu cavalry. In this battle, only the army with halberds can be held by the army, and the rest..."

"Military advisor, the king is here." Mou Zhong once again emphasized the tactical intention of this battle, and someone around him told him softly.

"The king is here?" Shi Yi and the generals immediately looked down at the city.

The Qi army's military formation and the Linzi west city wall formed a right-angle triangle. The right-angle long side of this triangle is the Linzi west city wall, the short side is the avenue from the west gate of the small city to Shenchi, and the oblique side is the Qi army formation. In order to command the entire military formation, the central army's tent is located outside the Yangmen Gate of the Dacheng. The three gates in the west of the city are the middle gates.

King Jian of Qi drove out of the city from Shenmen in the small town and headed north towards Yangmen. Looking from the city, he was wearing Wei Ban suit and was lifeless, and even expressionless. The generals in the city hurriedly went down to the city to greet him without taking a closer look.

"How can the king come here in a dangerous place in the army?" Shi Yi's legs were the fastest, and as soon as he left the city, he crawled under Tian Jianche.

"King, the Chu army has a Jing crossbow, and it is dangerous here. Please return to the palace quickly!" Tian Yang also said anxiously.

After he persuaded the rest of the military commanders, he was anxious to persuade him, but no matter how much he persuaded him, Tian Jian was indifferent. He seemed to have not heard the advice of his ministers. He stood in the car and looked at the Chu army opposite for a while before asking: "I heard the elegy from Qi people in the early morning. Are Qi people really upside down?"

"King..." Hou Sheng wanted to persuade him again, but Mou Zong said first: "Report to the King: After only three days of fighting, the people of Qi are indeed upside down. However, if the King can comfort him in front of the formation, he swears that he promised that Linzi would be exempted from three years of ritual tribute after this battle, his morale would be boosted."

"Rareless." Hou Sheng was very anxious, "When the battle formation is dangerous, how can the king come to the front of the formation to swear?"

Shi Yi also disagreed. "The Chu people want to get the king but cannot. If the king comes to the front of the formation, what will the Chu people attack?"

"The king is so important that he should not come to the front of the formation." Tian Yang also said. The morale of the Qi army was low. If the king had any problems, the huge military formation in front of him would definitely collapse. Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud noise from the opposite side. As the people shouted, as the horses were neighing, it seemed that 30,000 Chu soldiers were coming angrily.

"The king returns to the palace! The king returns to the palace quickly!" he said anxiously.

Not only Tian Yang, Hou Sheng, Tian Jiao, Shi Yi, Taihang Tian Ji, Da Jian Tian Jian, Sima Tianran and other people were so scared that their faces turned pale, and the temple master was even more worried. When Tian Yang said that the king returned to the palace, the emperor quickly turned the carriage and horses, wanting to turn back to the Shenmen at the southern end. However, the emperor was driving six or four horses and the military carriage was difficult to turn, let alone the Eastern Emperor carriage with six horses.

There was a panic behind the formation, which caused the Qi soldiers on the front to turn around repeatedly, and the Qi army formation floated suddenly. Mou Zong quickly shouted: "Stop! Stop..." He shouted a few times before the imperial hand stopped.

"This is the King of Chu who is inspecting the formation, not the Chu army attacking." Mou Zhong felt a little distressed. He wanted to persuade Tian Jianye to go to the formation to comfort the soldiers like the King of Chu, but he did not expect that the Chu army just shouted a few times and scared the king into this appearance.

"Long live the king! Long live the king! Long live the king..."

Three hundred steps away from the Qi army, Xiong Jing, riding a seven-foot dragon horse, was patrolling the soldiers. Every time he bowed to the army, the soldiers would shout, "Long live the king." As one after another, the morale of the Chu army shook again, and the spears of the barbarians were shaking on the ground by their pillars, shaking the Chinese state. At this moment, the king was with them, and the Chu State was with them.

"Is that the King of Chu?" Tian Jian heard the sound of Chu soldiers shouting long live, and he stood on the carriage and looked at him again.

"Report to the King, it is the King of Chu." Mou Zhong said. "Every time the King of Chu would come out to comfort him and swear. Therefore, the morale of the Chu army in every battle was high. In the war, everyone would take one as ten, and they would die without a sudden death. If it were the King..."

"Cough cough!" Hou Sheng coughed continuously. "Military advisor must not forget that the king is the king of a country, and should not go to dangerous places lightly."

"I am not as good as the King of Chu." When Mou Zong wanted to persuade him again, Tian Jian had already admitted defeat.

"The King of Chu is the king of barbarians, and he only knows attacking but not governing the country." Hou Sheng hurriedly advised him. "Our Qi State is a country of rituals and music, the king..."

"I don't know how to govern the country." Silently, Tian Jianzhi's words whipped Hou Sheng like a whip, which made him palpitations and blush.

"This king is humble." Hou Sheng was still unremittingly and constantly looking for advantages for Tian Jian.

"I cannot go out of battle, my country cannot be governed by literature, and I am the king who destroyed the country." Tian Jian ignored Hou Sheng, and he said bluntly what he thought. "This battle, I am here. If my ancestors win, my country of Qi will be defeated..."

"You must not do this!" The ministers were shocked when they heard this and hurriedly persuaded them.

"The king is not here. The soldiers knew that the king was here and would definitely defeat the people of Chu." As the general who commanded the battle, Shi Yi immediately bowed. However, he wanted Tian Jian to witness his bravery in defeating the enemy, but Hou Sheng made a look at him repeatedly. This is a war, not a joke. Tian Jian wanted to stay here, and Hou Sheng did not want to stay for a while.

"Please wait for him." Shi Yi also winked at Housheng. The Chu army had only eight thin people in depth, and the formation would collapse as soon as the chariots rush. Just as he bid farewell to Tian Jian and stood under the banner and prepared to command, a gust of dust was flying across the street. The Chu cavalry, who were originally on his left wing, rushed to the right wing of the Chu army from behind.

"Report to General, the Chu army changed the formation." The formations of both sides were arranged, but they didn't expect that the Chu people would even move the formation.

"It's okay. Our army..." The military formations were already arranged, and they suddenly changed the formation before the war. Shi Yi, who was standing in the military carriage, had never seen such a situation before. He said it was okay. Mou Zhong bowed to him. "What good plan does the military advisor have?"

"Chu cavalry changes its formation, and our army also changes it." Mou Zhong said, "Please ask the rear army to the rear of the Right Army."

The reserve team of 40,000 people is mainly guarding against the Chu cavalry, especially the array where the 130,000 new soldiers are located. If the Chu cavalry breaks the formation, it will not break from the central army where the halberd holders are located, but will only go from the left and right wings where the 130,000 new soldiers are located.

"Transfer our military order: the rear army reaches the right army." Shi Yi ordered. At this time, the Chu cavalry's formation had ended, but it did not hinder the Qi army's formation change.

"King, the Qi people will also change their formations." The Chu army's military formation was later than the Qi army, but it was completed earlier than the Qi army. Xiong Jing ordered the cavalry to move the formation a moment before the battle, but he did not expect that the Qi people would also move the formation.

"Tell Gui Jing that Qi people are facing him." Xiong Jing told him, "You must choose the right place to break the formation."

Although I heard the grieving songs of Qi soldiers in the early morning, once I lined up, even the most grieving people would be afraid of death. Xiong Jing didn't believe that the opposite Qi soldiers would collapse as soon as they rushed. They were human beings, and since they had to stand in front of the military formation, they would fight to the death no matter whether they wanted to.
