Chapter 55 Anger
As soon as the black beard finished speaking, Heifeng nodded, turned around and rushed towards Xia Yang, picked him up, and then rushed towards the exit like a sack. At this time, the drum sound was no longer as subtle and unpleasant as before, but was earth-shaking. The drum sound was even mixed with the shouts of "Jing people, Jing people". Xia Yang, who was carried by the black beard, kept struggling to come down. When he heard the shouts of "Jing people and Jing people", he was stunned for a moment, and the Chu army finally came.
"Stop! Stop!" At the southern end of Bailuyuan, the commander of the Chu army, who had just walked out of the mountains, was yelling a loud order. Hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers on both sides of the Bashui River were beating drums, and the sound of drums was deafening. They had to tear and shout at the soldiers.
"Put the armor!" Every division, every brigade, and every soldier has his own military flag. At this moment, the soldiers only had the military flag in their eyes and only had the command of the officers in their ears. Hearing the armor, they teamed up in groups to untie the armor on each other and quickly put on the armor. Everyone's heart was trembling, but their hands were not shaking at all.
The Qin camp kept beating drums, and the Qin army in front of him was still in formation. The four divisions led by him were in formation, because they were in armor. Amid the sound of armor, Xiong Jing had no time to see the scenery north of the Qinling Mountains, and even more so to see the Qin Palace palace in Weinan. His eyes only fell on the Qin army, which was arranged in an orderly manner despite being panicked but arranged in an orderly manner.
There are military curtains on the plateau, and the north and south of the Bashui are Qin troops. All the sermon drums have been ringed, and soldiers can be seen running within a radius of dozens of miles. Xiong Jing suddenly wanted someone to draw this scene, preferably into an oil painting. Only the colors of the oil painting can truly show the vast scroll he has seen now. However, oil paintings are inauspicious, such as the Two Saints' Suspension Picture.
"King, King Qin is the King of Kings!" The Qin army's intelligence was collected by the spies of Xianyang, and passed to Yingdu with carrier pigeons, and then from Yingdu to the front line. The carrier pigeons can fly more than a thousand miles a day, and it takes two days to fly from Xianyang to Yingdu, and then from Yingdu. The news was two to three days behind. The information two or three days ago said that Zhao Zheng wanted to take Wangzhou to Lantian in person, which seemed to be true.
"The King of Qin is unknown where?" Zhuang Wudi also looked at the tall king boat on the water.
"Get up-!" The soldiers only took half a quarter of an hour to wear armor. It was not long before half a minute, but the Qin army, who had already completed the array, had already stepped over.
The Chu army of four divisions, plus the eight kings of Xiong Jing's kings, was only 20,000 even if they were counted as archers. These 20,000 people did not list a horizontal formation about a hundred rows thick and five hundred rows long like the Qin army. These 20,000 people were one division and one formation, and the length and width were sixty rows. The four armies were arranged in an interlaced manner. The former could retreat between the latter, and the latter could also advance among the former. On the left side of the four large formations were Gui Jing's knights, which were difficult to move through the Qinling Mountains. The jockeys he led and Zhuang Qiji's kings and cavalry were not full of the organization.
Such a military formation is a formation that the leader Qin general had never seen before, but it was terrible that it was not seen before. The weaknesses of all horizontal formations were the two wings and vests. In order to protect these weaknesses, the troops should be as many as possible and the front lines should be as long as possible. At present, the Chu army listed four square military formations, regardless of their sides and vests at all.
"The general has his order, our army should quickly attack his left and right to capture and kill King Jing." The Qin army was advancing. When it advanced to 150 steps, the orders conveyed the latest military order to the commanders on both sides, which was to attack the two wings of the Chu army sideways.
The Chu army, wearing huge armor and waiting for battle, saw the Qin people getting closer and closer, and they couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Fortunately, the drums sounded loudly behind them, and the Chu army also began to move forward. Unlike six years ago, the Chu army had regulations on walking and running. That is, when it was normal, they would walk thirty-eight steps per minute, and when they were fast, they would become fifty steps per minute, and when they were running, they would be one hundred steps per minute.
The Chu army advanced with the bell in the handmaster. At first, they took a slow step, but gradually accelerated, but did not run. When the archer behind them shot arrows, the bell rang out quickly, the four military formations rushed forward. Without fancy moves and no tactical skills, the Chu army now had to quickly defeat the enemy in front of them and sweep the west bank of Bashui to make the Qin army on the east bank of Bashui frightened.
Once the Chu army archers fired the arrows, the Qin soldiers on the opposite side also rushed. They had to run quickly across the range of the bows and arrows. When they ran fifty steps, they stood a little and shot arrows at the Chu army. The crossbow arrows shot straight towards the Chu army in the square formation in front, making a jingle sound. Once the Chu arrows shot from the air hit, the Qin army would make a muffled groan. Some fell down, and some staggeredly followed the queue. But amid the screams of the soldiers of the two armies, no one could hear their voices.
"Kill Qin!" Cheng Tong, who led the Xi army, shouted. In front of him, nearly 10,000 soldiers from the two Tang divisions shouted. Their barbarian spears had long been raised, and the spear tips with red light in the setting sun were eager for blood. Seeing the Qin soldiers rushing towards him, the front spearmen rushed to welcome him.
The Qin army rushed towards the old and weak Guanzhong, but the elite soldiers who rushed to the rescue of Guanzhong. They were not wearing ordinary leather armor or stone armor they had seen before, but the latest iron armor. There was no such "bang" sound as when the two armies collided, and there was no scream. There was only the sound of spear breaking constantly in their ears.
The two Chu and Qin armies used bamboo and wood scepters, with oak inside and several bamboo pieces attached to the outside, then were finely wrapped with silk thread, tied tightly, and finally painted on the outside. Such wooden scepters were very hard and could even penetrate the earth wall. However, facing the front, the iron armor on the Qin army was extremely strong, and the scepters that rushed forward did not pierce the thickened armor coats on their bodies, and the spears broke one after another. Relying on the second row, third row and even fourth row, the Chu army stopped the Qin army's forward storm.
The same is that the Qin army's spear was broken like a slash. The Qin soldiers without a chief spear pulled out the hundred-smelting iron sword at their waists and fought with the Chu army holding a huge sword. The efforts of the Guowei Mansion and Shaofu in the past few years have not been without results. At least this time, the Qin army's armor in the front row is no less than the Chu army. Relying on these armors, the tall soldiers in the front row actually defeated the Chu army. Unfortunately, the carefully prepared soldiers were less than half of the total number, and most of the others were still in Li Xin's army.
Only the front-line officers and soldiers were aware of the inside story when the front-line confronted each other. What Xiong Jing saw was about 40,000 Qin troops rushing towards him, among which the army was slow and fast, and it was clearly necessary to strike or strike back. However, even if the 40,000 Qin troops were a hundred lines in a thick array, the formation was 500 meters wide. It would take about one minute for the Qin soldiers on the outside to run to the middle.
This is a straight line. The real encirclement cannot be a straight line, but a curve that slowly curves from the outside to the inside. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Qin army is wearing iron armor, and they cannot run fast at all. Xiong Jing does not care about the Qin army running slowly, but about the coordination between the various departments of the Qin army.
Before the two armies fought, the Qin army's performance made people unable to find any flaws. However, at the moment of fighting, the Qin army, who was eager to attack the Xishi side, did not guard the entire army line that they should guard carefully, but instead broke away from the front to the Xishi side, running towards the Xishi on the right side of Xishi on the right.
In fact, this is not a flaw. The Ying army's Dongcheng division was concave and diagonally facing the rear of the Xi army. The two divisions were only thirty steps apart. The left wing of the Qin army was surrounding the side back of the Dongcheng division with a curve, and the closest distance was only more than twenty steps. The Qin army just tightened in advance and planned to attack the rear of the Xi army. If the Chu army wanted to seize this flaw, it would change its formation before the Qin army rushed forward and attack forty-five degrees to the right.
Even if you have worn iron armor for more than twenty steps, it will only take more than twenty seconds. It is not enough to issue military orders in more than twenty seconds, so how can you change the formation? But what is unexpected is that the Chu army does not need to convey military orders at all, nor does it need to change the formation. Because the two divisions of the Ying Division are not arranged in a row like the Xi Division and the Tang Division, they are originally lined up. Xiong Jing's king's flag king pointed to the northeast, and the soldiers of the Dongcheng Division tore off their disguised appearance, and with a "da" sound, all the divisions turned right, and rushed to the gap that was only more than ten steps wide.
There is something on the battlefield called helplessness. The left army of the Qin army, who is rushing towards the Dongcheng Division, is experiencing this helplessness. The Jing people are running towards themselves, but not the array is facing each other, but the array is incorrect. The sixty-wide Jing people's army formation only has more than 30 rows on the outside to fight with the Qin army, and the remaining twenty Chu troops will pass through the gap caused by the break of the Qin left army and the central army on the far right side of the Qin army.
Can the gap that is only more than twenty columns wide be quickly filled within a few seconds before the war? Of course, it cannot be. Unless the entire left army instantly shifts more than twenty columns to the right, forcibly filling this gap will not cause the military formation to break, it will also cause the military formation to be thin.
"Kill!" The sound of the slash behind him was broken. The brigade of the Dongcheng Division passed through the gap of the Qin army without any obstacles and appeared behind the Qin army. The Qin general who was commanding the battle looked at the scene in amazement. Just as he was about to order the rear army to go forward to make up for it, the brigade that rushed through the gap did not turn right, nor did he rush towards the flag surrounding the short-soldiers. They began to rush the spear against the Qin army that was attacking the Xi army sideways.
The side attacking army was hit by the enemy, which is really a great irony. Yijiu was like Tu and Sui Shi in the Battle of Mountain, and was stalked on the side of Qin soldiers. The Xijiu's army was not thick, only sixty lines. The first wave of attack killed Qin soldiers and retreated dozens of steps, waiting for the second, third, and fourth wave... Yijiu rushed over and attacked the Qin army on the flank of Xijiu. These defeated soldiers squeezed the Qin army on the front of the Xijiu, crowded with people, causing all the Qin army arrays in the northeast corner of the Xijiu to fall into chaos.
The chaos was not completely fatal. For the Qin army, what was really fatal was that the central army opened the distance from the Chu army. Without enough run-up distance, the Chu army's spear could not rise, so they could only refuse each other, and both sides pushed the spears. At present, the Qin army on the front had widened the distance from the Chu army because of the defeated soldiers, and the impact of the Chu army's spearmen followed one after another.
"Revenge must be repaid, hatred must be blood! Revenge must be repaid, hatred must be blood! Revenge must be repaid, hatred must be blood..." The shouts sounded at the Xishi, followed by the roar of all the soldiers in the army. This was the anger of the Chu people. This anger was holding Feng Lei hostage and stabbing at the Qin people who were several steps away.
