Chapter 65 Tomorrow
The generals under Chang's throne and the strategists were all wondering the Chu army's black curtain on the other side of the Ba River. Wei Liao, who had a little understanding of what the Chu army was going to do, gasping for air conditioning, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and the heat of the dog days disappeared without a trace. He shouted: "The people of Jing want to attack me, I ask the king to avoid it for the time being!"
As soon as Wei Liao finished speaking, some unarmed Chu soldiers appeared from the black curtain. They were several people, carrying a large wooden rack in their hands, and rows of fat sheep that had just been slaughtered. Sixteen witchcraft began to roar at this time. The iron bullets shot out with the power of witches and ghosts could float on the water. They slammed the Qin army's warship and beat the entire warship to the same.
This is not over yet. The iron bombs that penetrated the warships flew towards where Zhao Zheng stood. The cannons on the plateau could be fired across the Ba River, and the cannons at a high angle under the plateau could be fired to the rear army after Zhao Zheng was standing.
"King, go quickly!" The closest general shouted, and the scene that happened just now in the south of Lantian City happened to the guards again. Zhao Zheng was standing in the military carriage watching the battle. As the iron bullets roared, Zhao Gao couldn't wait for him to get out of the car, so he ran back with him behind him.
The Chu army bombarded the king with witchcraft, and the Chang flag was full of chaos. Zhao Zheng's Chang flag was equal to the flag of the entire army. As he avoided, the flag soldiers who had never forgotten their responsibilities followed him with the Chang flag. The Qin generals who were lined up on the west bank of the Ba River were shocked when they saw this. At this time, the sound of drums sounded loudly, and the Chu army on the plateau had already rushed down with a spear.
"Kill--!" Except for the Yingyi Division, the other two divisions continued to be Youque, and the two E divisions who defended the east side of Bailuyuan shouted and rushed down. To the north of Lantian City, there were only more than 400 steps above and below the plateau. Taking advantage of the Qin army's loss of consciousness, the Chu army that rushed down the earth plateau was unstoppable. After fighting the troops, the Qin army scattered to the east bank of the Ba River. The Chu army's spearmen braved the rain of arrows shot from the warships and chased them across the Ba River. They waited for the Qin army led by Zhao Yong to step forward, and they retreated back to the west bank with the sound of withdrawing troops.
When the Chu army engineers who were building a bridge on the Ba River heard the sound of the sound, they had to untie the floating bridge that had been built halfway. They were soaked all over and lifted the sheepskin raft to withdraw back to the formation. Gui Jing, who was preparing to attack the enemy formation on the plateau, had to get off the horse. The floating bridge was originally prepared for him.
"King, I can attack Qin!" Gui Jing rushed to Xiong Jing and said anxiously.
"No! The Qin army only had the guards in chaos, and the rear army was not at all." Zhuang Wudi Dai Xiong Jing, who had been sleeping for a long time, replied. Although he missed the most exciting scene, he had already understood the whole plan.
"The rear army?" Gui Jing looked unhappy. If he led the cavalry across the Ba River, he would not kill the Qin King, even if he could not kill the Qin King, he could still burn the Qin army's supplies and food.
"Not only the rear army, do you think what army is that?" The Qin army's rear army stepped forward to make up the formation and stabilized the Qin army's formation. The rear army stepped forward to make up the formation. The Qin cavalry that he could not see just now showed a corner. It was not a few thousand people, but tens of thousands. In amazement, Xiong Jing said again: "The mystery of the breeches must be kept carefully!"
The Chu cavalry were all dragon horses. It was not that the Chu cavalry could not defeat the Qin cavalry, but in such a big battle, any sacrificed Chu cavalry might have been discovered by the Qin people if they did not regain their bodies and saddles. Xiong Jing had taken the risk twice, and he did not want to take the third risk again.
"Long live! Long live! Long live the king..." Chu Jun's morale reached its peak, and Zhao Zheng, who had retreated for several miles, was extremely angry. When Zhao Gao put him down, he kicked him down with one kick, and he was about to kill him with one sword.
"Leave people under the sword of the king." The others looked at it, but Wei Liao shouted. Zhao Zheng didn't want to kill Zhao Gao very much, but he shouted and the sword was penetrated into the soil with a shout. He shouted and shouted in great apology: "I am not afraid of Jing people! I am not afraid of Jing people! I am not afraid of Jing people!"
Zhao Gao, who was lucky enough to die, hurriedly lay at his feet and cried: "The villain is guilty, the villain deserves death! The villain is guilty, the villain deserves death..."
"Oh..." Zhao Zheng said a sigh. Born in the Zhigong of Handan, he lacked sense of security since he was a child, but no matter how insecure he lacked his sense of security when he was a child, he was also the king of Qin. How could he escape at the fortress? He was very dissatisfied with King Jing. Why couldn't he do what King Jing could do? Why was King Jing not afraid of death in battle?!
Thinking of this, he became more and more hatred. He took two steps to pull out the sword and wanted to cut Zhao Gao down again. Wei Liao said again: "Let's wait! Zhao Gao saved the king several times, so he can't atone for his merits? If the king cares about the morale of the army, he can just tell him."
"The army has its own laws. If it is not killed, how can it be trusted by the three armies?" Zhang Han interrupted inexplicably.
"The king does not kill Zhao Gao, but it is the king's benevolence. The Jing people's witchcraft is raging, and Zhao Gao saves the master. What crime is there?" Wei Liao still spoke for Zhao Gao. "And the Jing people's witchcraft can shoot so far, who knows? The rear army has stabilized its position, and our army has not been defeated. Now the king should not kill Zhao Gao, but should stand on a high place to stabilize the hearts of the soldiers."
Wei Liao had long known that the range of Chu army's witchcraft was extremely long. But he didn't expect to shoot so far. In the era of borehole guns, the range was not an important indicator of artillery. Borehole guns fired live ammunition, and live ammunition relied on the ground to continuously rebound and jump to kill the enemy. The most suitable artillery angle was between five degrees and ten degrees, so that the shells fired would jump continuously and cause damage.
If the angle increases to the maximum range of 45 degrees theoretically, then the shell will be a pit after it lands and cannot jump at all. The ranges of the fifth-degree artillery and the forty-five degrees are several hundred meters or thousands of meters apart. It is understandable that the Qin army does not know that the range changes.
"Don't worry, the king. The Jing people are good at taking the lead, so that their first reputation is to seize the crowd!" Zhao Zheng climbed to a high place, and the generals of the Qin army finally felt at ease. Zhang Han, who was worried that he had other ideas, seized the opportunity to continue to make suggestions.
"What is the first choice to take the lead?" Zhao Zheng was puzzled. He only felt embarrassed.
"This Jing people are afraid of my entire army and attacking." Zhang Han took the pulse of the Chu army and said in a clear way. "Our army attacks the entire army and must set up a formation, so the Jing people attack me quickly and make me rescue. If our army rescues, we cannot attack the entire army. This military strategy says: It is to lead people but not to others."
"What if that?" Zhao Zheng calmed down and recalled the situation just now, this is indeed the case. Once he took a full-scale attack, the Chu army would attack a little hard, which must be his own rescue. This was the case with witchcraft attacks just now, and the same was true for King Jing to lead the army to attack Xianyang. All this was for the purpose of "to help others".
Zhao Zheng, who was suddenly enlightened, looked at Zhang Han. Of course, he had read the art of war, but even some veterans who used the art of war to interpret the current situation, even if they were veterans in a hundred battles, they knew the reason but did not know why.
"Our army is exhausted today. I ask the king to fight again tomorrow." After some trouble just now, it is time to get a small relocation. Of course, it is okay to fight again, but fighting again is not good for the Qin army.
"Tomorrow?" Zhao Zheng looked at the three phoenix flags flying on the Bailuyuan, feeling unwilling.
"Of course, I can only attack tomorrow." Zhang Han said. "Our army can set up a formation in front of Danming tomorrow, and the entire army will quickly attack the Jing people after tomorrow."
"It's not too late tomorrow." Wei Liao said. "Tonight, the people of Jing will enter the north of Zhidao."
"General Meng Tian led 100,000 people to be on guard against Ba. How could the Jing people advance north?" Zhang Han asked. "Will the Jing people cross the Changshui?"
Meng Tian stationed his troops in Bailuyuan, but this was only half of the east of Bailuyuan, and the half of the west of Changshui did not station troops. If the Chu army could cross the Changshui, it would be able to follow the Changshui north to the Zhidao. After saying this, Zhang Han said again: "I would like to lead an army to guard the west of Changshui. If the Jing people advance north, I will swear to block the Jing people."

When the Qin army retreated from its entire line, the Bailu Plain was filled with joy. The artillery and a few artillery fired the King of Qin to flee. The spears and soldiers rushing down the plateau were like tigers coming into the water, defeating the Qin army and not daring to fight again. How could such victory not make people ecstatic?
Aren't the Chu army afraid? Before the war, I saw that the Qin army had hundreds of thousands of people, and the camps were continuous for dozens of miles and hundreds of miles. It was naturally fake to say that they were not afraid, but soon they found that the Qin army was just a piece of tofu, which broke and penetrated with one blow. Not to mention 500,000, such a Qin army was not his opponent even if it was one million.
The generals were joking, and Xiong Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Before dark, vehicles transporting supplies and food could all leave Sichuan. At night or tomorrow morning, the war would turn into a familiar pattern: lengthen the long paths of the Qin army through continuous movements, and then defeat them one by one. Maybe it would really be able to completely solve the Qin problem this month.
In the shogunate, the generals of the divisions and brigades led a tent to gather. Of course, this is not a celebration of the merits, but a discussion on tomorrow's actions. Building a bridge to cross the Changshui River and the water is the matter of the engineers, and the generals are concerned about Wangchuankou.
If the army goes north, will it be guarded by Wangchuankou or not? If the army does not defend, the Qin army will definitely occupy it and cut off its way back. If the army does not defeat the Qin army, or the war is in a stalemate, there may be no way out. If the army guards, then how many divisions will be left? If there are too many divisions, the army, which has only twelve and a half divisions, will have less troops. If there are too few, they will be worried that they will not be able to defend at that time.
"I am willing to lead the E army to defend Wangchuan and wait for the king to return." Ele said unexpectedly.
"Hmph!" Someone snorted coldly. However, Ele led his own soldiers, so some things were hard to say.
"The third division of the E Division, followed the division and headed to Wangchuankou. Since there were two divisions, why did you leave two more divisions?" It became a passage. "Mr. E was so afraid of Qin?"
"I am not afraid of the Qin people, I am only worried about the king." E Leyi looked at Xiong Jing. "Our army goes north, if the Qin people don't fight me..."
"Our army went north to defeat Xianyang, which is the capital of the Qin people. Why didn't the Qin people fight with me?" Pan Wuming said.
"If the Qin people did not save Xianyang..." Ele asked.
"Then our army will pull out Xianyang!" Gui Xia waved his hand.
"However, what if you pull out Xianyang?" E Le asked. "The King of Qin was among the Qin army. Will the King of Qin die? This is just a matter of increasing the hatred of the King of Qin.
The king, the boats of the ministers traveled through various countries and entered Guanzhong. The Qin people were not Chu people. If the Qin army attacked Yingdu, the Chu people would definitely save it. However, the Chu army attacked Xianyang and could not save others by themselves, thinking that the Qin people would definitely save it."
