Array warfare is a technique, while advance warfare is an art. The power of gunpowder shocked the Qin people and the entire army seized the aura. Now the Chu army has directed the focus of the battle to Lantian City. Is Lantian City important? It is not important to the Qin and Chu armies.

Attack Bailuyuan from the east, the Qin army would attack one mile away. If the soldiers did not penetrate armor and attacked, they would be unilaterally massacred by the Chu army. If the soldiers would attack the armor and attack... Before they could go up, they would probably be exhausted or injured by the heavy arrows of the Chu army.

The Qin army's truly wise attack direction was in the north. The weak Chu army could not stop the Qin army from climbing the plateau from the north. The Qin army could calmly line up and advance south. The shallow gully was not an obstacle, and the Qin army had to pull out the city wall several meters high.

What is really worrying is that Bailuyuan is divided by Changshui. For a time, the Qin army was unable to bypass Changshui (it took five to sixty miles). The listed military formations were limited in width. Only when the Qin army bypassed Changshui tomorrow and appeared west of Changshui, the Chu army would be completely surrounded. The Changshui source came from the remnants of the Qinling Mountains. The wider and deeper the waterway to the north, but it was easy to cross at the south source.

As for the Wangchuankou, the Yuanxia, ​​which Zhao Yang and others were determined to attack, this was indeed the throat of the Chu army. Once the logistics of the Chu army was cut off, they would withdraw even if they were not defeated. The problem is that only the Qin people in the world were smart. The counselors of the Grand Sima Mansion of Jing State and the generals of King Jing were all fools. They were all bought for free and gave away the pearls. Why wouldn’t there be many equipment in such an important place?

Without sleeping all night, Wei Liao thought very clearly about the entire combat plan of the Qin army. He tried hard to persuade Zhao Zheng to climb Bailuyuan from the north. However, Zhao Zheng did not listen and did not go north but went south. He wanted to witness Zhao Yang leading his troops to attack the mouth of Wangchuangu.

If this is a mistake for the Qin army, then leading the focus of the war to the meaningless Lantian City is the clever one of the Chu army's shogunate counselors.

If the Chu army allows the Chu army to occupy Lantian, the morale of the Qin army, which was already robbed by witchcraft, would be even lower. However, to seize Lantian, elite soldiers must be sent to attack the entire attack. These soldiers could have attacked the mouth of Wangchuan Valley or the north of the earthen plateau.

In addition to the losses of elite soldiers, there is still time. When the rooster crowed last night, no longer heard the thunder roar at Wangchuankou, which means that the Chu army had already carved open the Wangchuankou, and a large amount of supplies, food and fodder were pouring out from Wangchuankou. If the focus of the two armies' competition was the worthless Lantian, it would naturally delay and block the transportation of the Chu army.

Wei Liao had insight into the power of it, but he could not change the status quo. Even if he did not recommend that Zhao Zheng defend Lantian, the young and energetic Zhao Zheng would order Yang Duanhe to seize Lantian.

Wei Liao was helpless, Zhuang Wudi and others who were watching the battle on Bailuyuan couldn't help laughing, and Xiong Jing was also laughing, but his smile was faint. He still did not recover from yesterday's setbacks. He was now in a trance, so that every time he thought about something and did something, he would deliberately examine himself: Are you still thinking about problems with the thinking of common people? Are you still measuring everything by success or failure? If so, then it is inferior.

The lowly in his heart is not a derogatory term. There is nothing wrong with being lowly. As a commoner, what should we consider without considering gains and losses? But for the king, it is not necessary to consider only gains and losses.

Xiong Jing smiled lightly, Zhuang Wudi, who breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, surrendered to him. Xiong Jing stopped him: "When will the battle last?"

"Or the battle is at the middle of the sun." Zhuang Wudi replied. "Or the Qin people trapped the soldiers on the top of the city, and the morale of the entire army was greatly boosted."

"Oh?" Xiong Jing was slightly surprised. He remembered these words now. Zhuang Wudi had said before. The purpose of directing the focus of the battle to the worthless Lantian City was of course to delay time. Every moment of delay, dozens of carriages left Sichuan from Wangchuankou.

The strategists were eager for Lantian to fight more and more fiercely. In Xiong Jing's understanding, this was a reduced version of the Battle of Verdun. A battle with no practical significance only for the sake of breathing, and millions of people were killed or injured on both sides.

"Stay." Xiong Jing nodded and signaled Zhuang Wudi to retreat to rest. "Your plan is very good."

The Chu army was advancing. The strategists in the shogunate, such as calculating, astronomy, and geography, had not slept for several days and nights. Zhuang Wudi's sleepy and hunched body immediately stood up when he heard Xiong Jing's praise. He bowed to Xiong Jing again and retreated with joy.

"The Qin people were trapped!" Nao Xin was only responsible for the intelligence, and he was still standing beside Xiong Jing.

"Not necessarily." Under Bailuyuan, the Qin army, who were not armoured, crossed the Ba River and headed towards Lantian City. The Qin army, upstream of the Ba River, had already listed a large military formation south of the Ba River, waiting for the order to attack.

This Qin army sat quietly, obviously not the same type as the Qin soldiers who were scared by the explosion. Perhaps, the Qin generals would order them to advance to Wangchuankou if the Qin army had taken down Lantian City; perhaps, the Qin generals would not wait for the result on Lantian. As long as the boat master assumed a floating bridge on the Wangchuan water, they would order them to advance.

Of course, Xiong Jing was not worried about them. What he really worried about was the north and west. Because of the long distance in the north, the Qin army was still gathering a formation. Once the array was over, they would press it like a road roller. Then it was west of Changshui. If a Qin army risked to cross the Changshui and detoured from the west, the Chu army would be passive.

On Bailuyuan, Xiong Jing looked around the entire battlefield. At this time, cheers came from Lantian City. The soldiers who attacked Lantian City found the king car that Zhao Zheng had discarded yesterday. They were excited to push it out from the blasting entrance and show off as their own seizure. However, the blasting entrance was not flat. The empty car with broken bearings was stuck at the blasting entrance and could not be pulled out no matter how hard it was.

The appearance of the king's chariot once again excited the soldiers of the Chu army. The king's chariot was colorful. This was the king's car. The Qin army was resting again. Zhao Zheng's face was hot. He had a secret taboo: his own things are forbidden from wives and concubines, close servants are flipping, and his thoughts are even more forbidden from officials and officials to speculate. This behavior does not make him feel offended, but makes him feel unsafe.

Now that the Chu soldiers pushed out his abandoned carriage yesterday, he changed his sarcasm in an instant: "Send Yang Duanhe to regain the king's car."

"King..." Wei Liao was shocked when he heard Zhao Zheng's order.

"The king has his life to take back the king's car!" The king's life was soon spread.

"The king has his own destiny to take back the king's chariot!" Soon, the king's order was spread to the west of the Ba River and to the ears of these trapped soldiers in Xiayang.

The attack failed last night. Due to Xia Yang's rescue, the eighteen-man trap team lost only five people, which was the least loss of all attack trap teams. Even so, the thirteen living people were still guilty. They had to cut off five Jing people's heads to smooth them out. Now, the trap team, who had a little rest, were sent to the battlefield again.

"King Che?" Yesterday afternoon, he was joked by the black beard, and the steamer who asked him to wash his butt was unknown. Because of the cover of the city wall, the soldiers could not see the king car in the south of the city, and could only see the Jing people's military flag fluttering in the wind at the Lantian city - a three-headed colorful phoenix embroidered on the white silk. The steamer was puzzled. What does it mean? He only had a thought. It would be great if the Jing people had three heads, so that they would have three heads.

"It's the king's car." The ladder car was still crossing the river. At this time, the military officers were distributing wine. Xia Yang, who had learned some bandaging and rescue skills from the Dachu News, was helping black beard bandage the wound. "Yesterday, the king left the city and the king's car was lost in the city. Now I'm afraid it's earned by the people of Jing."

"In this way, if you take back the king's car, there is no head?" Zeng's mind was thinking about the head.

"No." Xia Yang replied, and the drum suddenly rang. The Qin soldiers in heavy armor had already formed a formation. They no longer waited for the ladder car to attack the city, but turned to the south of the city to snatch the king's car.

The nature of the soldiers is actually light infantry, and because they do not have armor, the casualty rate is extremely high. Their role is first of all, they can be quickly mobilized without armor, and secondly, they cooperate with the heavy infantry in the military formation to protect their gaps and flanks, and attack the enemy's flaws.

However, the Qin army's tactics were deeply influenced by the military merit and title system. In order to grab the head, the soldiers were accustomed to scattering formations and fighting. The light infantry, which should have assisted heavy infantry combat, ran to the front because they did not have armor. This became Zhang Yi's words, "The Qin people donated armor and gave way to the enemy, took the head on the left and the captives on the right."

The Han and Wei army could disperse the formation and fight for the heads, but against the Chu army, they could only form a formation and fight. Amid the drums, Ting stood in front of the soldiers with his thirteen people, and the people were tilted their heads to drink wine while waiting for the order to attack.

"Attack!" Not long after, the hundred generals behind the array shouted loudly, about one mile wide, and the army of seventy rows in depth began to advance south.

‘Boom--’ The sound of cannons came from the plateau. Because it was separated by Lantian City, the cannonball flew over the heads of everyone with a sharp roar. Previously, because of the cover of Lantian City, they were not ravaged by the artillery fire of the Chu army, so it was different to move south. More than 30,000 armored soldiers and more than 3,000 generals of the trap were exposed to the gun mouth of the Chu army.

"Let it go! Let it go--!" The smoke of gunpowder was filled with gunpowder, and the artillery of the two battalions had been on the way. Before the Qin army had left Lantian City, the artillery leader opened fire and tested the fire. One after another, one after another, one flew out, one farther and one nearer hit the Chu army's formation.

The thunderous sound and howling shells were. Even though they knew that the gunmen were not hitting them, the shells just flew over their heads, lined up to wait for the soldiers who were close to them to be sweaty, and some people even peeed their pants.

The Qin army, who had just walked out of the cover of Lantian City, failed to appreciate this fear. A 32-pound shell passed by Xia Yang, and then slowly bounced up after landing, breaking through the neatly arranged entire horizontal lineup.

Xia Yang was left behind because of his comrade's protection, but this protection almost killed him. The shells passed by were only a few feet away from him. He knew nothing until he was sprayed with blood on his back. When he looked back, he saw the soldiers behind him lying on the ground with their colorful intestines and internal organs flowing all over the ground.
