The status is not determined, and the girls are already competing for favor before entering the palace. Of course, such a fight is not Xiong Jing's concern. According to the plan of the Grand Sima, the Chu army has adjusted its arrangements. Once the Chu State, whose troops are short of force, makes mistakes in predictions, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Hundreds of years ago, the Chu State had stationed Fangcheng in the Nanyang Basin. The section on the east side of Fangcheng passed through the valley entrance to the west of Magu. The west side of Fangcheng is the Qin territory, the east side of Fangcheng is the Wei territory, and the border of Chu and Wei is the mountain on the north side of the East Gate of Magu (the eastern foot of Baiyun Mountain). This mountain is the source of water. It passes through the valley road and enters the Wei territory, and is only more than a hundred miles away from Shangcai where the Qin and Chu army gathered.

"I think it's okay." Gui Jing said, "The Qin and Wei army gathered in Shangcai, and the city was empty. Our army still had more than 480 horses. If we reach the plain, the Qin and Wei armies would not know our location. Even if we meet, our army could avoid its edge..."

"What about the injured? The medicine is insufficient." Xiong Jing said to her. Gui Jing was speechless. To this day, there are more than a hundred injured people, and the exact number is 113, more than 40 of them were seriously injured. Several horses carrying medicine accidentally fell down the valley while the escape was fleeing.

The sky was already dark, and after Gui Jing came over, the other knights came over unconsciously. Hearing that the king was considering the injured, Xiang Chao said excitedly: "Report to the king, I have a plan..."

"Don't listen." Xiong Jing glared at Xiang Chao in the dark. His so-called strategy was to hold the flag and pretend to be himself to lead the Qin army. The knights were all children of the Gong clan, and Xiong Jing did not want any one to lose for no reason.

"I ask the king to do Xiang Chao's strategy." Gui Jing immediately bowed. After him, the other knights bowed and begged.

"King," said the Right Historian, "Tomorrow, Xinsheng will have new soldiers to support each other. If the Qin soldiers of Magu know that I am here, they will be attacked from front to back, and they will be in danger."

"We can't stay here for a long time, however," Xiong Jing heard everyone's words. What he thought of was whether he could rush out of the mouth of the Magu. However, the Qin army in the Magu also knew that he would rush to the mouth of the valley with all his might. They could set up a trap at the mouth of the valley and wait for his net; if it went west, it was Qin's realm, and it wouldn't work.

"What city is there in Wei?" Xiong Jing had to put his way out in the north. If he could occupy a city, many wounded people would survive.

"Reported to the great king, since the ancestor Ping Wang moved to Dao, Fang, Shen and other countries, there was only Sang Tunnel here, which was closest to this place." Right Shidao.

"Then take down the Sang Tunnel!" Xiong Jing no longer hesitated.

Chapter 53

When it was almost dawn, the intermittent autumn rain finally stopped. Previously, five hundred new-style large-wing warships, five hundred and sixty-five old-style warships, and more than 190,000 soldiers transported by more than 1,600 civilian boats had marched from outside Chengyang City to the coast of Xieyi Huai River overnight. In the Qin army's sleep, the Chu army prepared an attack.

The emergency transport was 190,000 people, plus the original 30,000 defenders in Chengyang and Magu, nearly 40,000 soldiers from Tang and Sui counties, and 14,000 soldiers temporarily imposed in neighboring counties such as Xi County. The actual force of the entire battle reached more than 270,000, and the number of the Qin army was estimated to be between 100,000 and 200,000. This was the Qin army that attacked Chengyang a few months ago.

There is an advantage in terms of number of people, and military armor and tactics. From May to September, all county soldiers across the country have reformed their tactics, and all spears and spears were eliminated. Two zhang, two zhang and four zhang became the standard configuration for soldiers. The most important thing is the organization. The original old organization of 100 people and one soldier was changed to a new organization of 320 people and one soldier (including 225 spearmen, 50 riders, 36 archers, fifteen officers and drummers, etc.). Fifty riders may not even be able to be equipped in a short period of time, but the archers do not have this problem, but the archers are weaker. The archers are not enough, two and a half stones, and two stones are also fine.

To put it simply and bluntly, the range of one stone bow is equal to the crossbow with two stone pulling force, and six stone bows are relative to the twelve stone crossbow. Both are the limits of a single soldier, and the bow is more difficult. There are only a handful of people in the world who can drive six stone bows, but more than 10,000 Wei Wushu can drive twelve stone crossbows. The pulling force of the Qin army's single-arm crossbow is generally three to four stones, equivalent to one and a half stone bows, and two stone bows; the pulling force of the Ke Zhang crossbow is about eight to ten stones, which is equal to four to five stone bows. Two and a half stone bows are not only the rate of fire, but also the range of the Qin army's arm crossbowmen.

The spear formation fought in a dense queue, and the one who was most afraid of was the crossbow. At this time, the Chu army's armor and equipment were still incomplete. During the battle of Chen Ying, the entire army had about 60,000 sets of ring armor (including 10,000 sets of ring armor in the city). Unfortunately, by the end of the war, more than 8,000 sets of damage were damaged, mainly due to the fall of rivets. From May to September, four months, the mansion produced 48,000 sets of ring armor, but in exchange for food, half of the production capacity was delivered to Qi State in July. In other words, the actual equipment of the Chu army was only more than 88,000 sets of ring armor, and with the repairs, the actual equipment on the front line was more than 93,000 sets of ring armor.

The Chu army attacked by the Huai River had 230,000 people and more than 93,000 sets of ring armor, which meant that four people were wearing armor for every ten people. A spear formation of fifteen people, six rows of spearmen in front were wearing ring armor, and nine rows of spearmen in the back were thrown leather armor. The number of armor was still not high, and the plan of the Grand Sima Mansion was to wear armor for all the soldiers in the army.

Of course, whether the advantages in weapons can be transformed into victory depends on various factors such as tactics and command. The Chu army now lacks qualified front-line officers, and the start of the military academy has been delayed again and again. The army can only use the new methods of fighting and training while fighting.

The only thing that is thankful is that the Battle of Jiyi was a battle of fighting with more than the few. The 230,000 people had more than 850 soldiers and fifty-three divisions. Some divisions that were obviously unqualified and had no experience in combating spear formations were arranged at the non-breakthrough; while the Chen army in Chen Ying's siege battle was the army of the prince; the 50,000 elite soldiers and 30,000 king soldiers in the field battle of Chen Ying (at this time, all the clans began to build private soldiers of the family, so the troops of the public clans who participated in this battle were abolished), these 120,000 were the real main force, and arranged at the breakthrough.

During the Ming Dynasty, the Chu army began to build pots to make rice, and Danming took food. Although they were about to fight, they could only eat 70% full. At the same time, each soldier received two handfuls of embarrassing food, which was eaten during the war. There were six or seventy miles between the Huai River and another section of the Huai River. During the pursuit, there were no time to make rice, so they could only eat embarrassing food.

As an old soldier in Chen Ying's siege, Wu Chen Sheng's place was naturally arranged at the breakthrough point. He carefully put the embarrassing food sent by the logistics officer into his arms, but he was reluctant to slap the fine foam stained on his hands, so he only licked it carefully with his tongue.
