Chapter 115 The sound of Zheng

In the north of Xiangcheng City, later called the north bank of the Cultural River, the Qin army set up its own formation. This was not beyond the expectations of the Chu army, nor beyond the expectations of the Chu army. It was not beyond the expectations of the Chu army that the Fenxing Pass was not infinitely wide. When Li Mu defeated the Qin army in Jingxing, the Qin army rushed into Jingxing, and Jingxing was not infinitely wide. Some of the Qin army could retreat into Jingxing, but most of them could not. They could only squeeze outside Jingxing and wait for death.

The situation in Fenxing Pass is the same now. There are more than 300,000 Qin troops left. These more than 300,000 Qin troops cannot pour into Fenxing Pass in an instant. It may take half a day, or a whole day before they can enter Fenxing Pass. The Qin troops on the periphery must form a formation to fight and wait for entry to the frontier, but it is difficult for the soldiers to do this when the troops are defeated like mountains.

What was unexpected was that the Qin army did not choose to arrange an array outside the Fenxing Brigade, but chose to arrange an array on the Yingshui tributary. Although this was even more dangerous (far further from the Fenxing Brigade), it was because it was even more dangerous that the soldiers would work together. The so-called circumference of three quarts and one, the closer the hope of life, the easier the army would collapse. Instead, the entire army was in death, and no one had the hope of escaping, but it was easy to arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

Because of this, it was discovered that the Qin army was arrayed in the north of the Yingshui tributary. The Chu army immediately withdrew the few repels on the other side of the Yingshui River, so that the Qin army rear was unhindered and a flat horse. At this time, the Qin cavalry running from the direction of the Fenxing Pass also began to drive out the Chu cavalry on the north bank of the tributary. One cavalry was aligned with a number of riders, and the repels on the dragon horse were not afraid; one cavalry against dozens of riders, and the dragon horse was at a loss. Even if they were unwilling to give up, they were driven out of the north bank of the tributary by the Qin cavalry.

The cavalry war beyond the formation battle was just the prelude to the entire battle. Both sides were more concerned about how to concentrate more troops before the battle. The four divisions of Ying's division, the twenty-four divisions at the east and west end of the Shoushan, and the six divisions on the right wing of the chees, the Chu army assembled a total of thirty-four divisions, and eight divisions did not arrive. In addition, there were two to three lieutenants, and the number of soldiers was about 230,000, including 15,000 cavalry.

The Qin army was no longer the 400,000 people before. The Right Army was wiped out and five lieutenants were lost. Two lieutenants in the central army were defeated. The left army also lost one to two lieutenants in the containment battle, with the remaining troops reaching 310,000. If the cavalry had not been driven by a cavalry of thousands of people from Fenxing Pass, they would have been "encircled" by the Chu infantry and cavalry armies at this time.

The troops of the two sides were not too disparity. The eight Chu military divisions and 50,000 Zhao troops who were encircling and annihilated the Qin army's defeated army did not come. Once these troops arrived, the result would be that there would be more Chu troops than Qin troops. Therefore, as long as the Qin army did not retreat, the Chu army was willing to wait instead of rushing to launch an attack. However, strangely, the Qin army was also willing to wait, and they did not attack or retreat immediately.

He was wearing a huge iron armor of seventy jin and a two-foot meter-to-foot radius spear of twenty jin in his hand. In order to save the strength of the soldiers, one after another was ordered to sit down, and at the same time, the soldiers were allowed to eat jerky and drink a certain amount of salt water. Because the jerky was always in his arms, the water bag was not as warm as the body. In order to prevent the clothes from soaking, the water bag was all covered with clothes. The weather was cold and the water was also cold.

Heifu chewed the warm jerky, and after chewing a piece, he poured half a mouthful of cold salt water, put it in his mouth and waited until the water was not so cold, and then swallowed it. No one spoke in the formation, everyone ate meat and drank water like Heifu. The battlefield was like a execution ground. Perhaps this would be his last meal in the world.

However, some people were sobbing quietly while eating, some were murmured and praying for the Grand Secretary’s fate, and some people were pressing each other against the talismans of the soldiers who were asking for from the witch... As long as these sounds were not loud, they would turn a blind eye to each other. Who would not be afraid of death?

"Hei, Heifu..." A shocked voice sounded behind him. He never called him Brother Heifu.

Heifu put down his jerky and turned to look at his younger brother behind him. He was seven rows away from Heifu, and the two brothers spoke from six people, but fortunately the people in the middle were unaware of it. He saw his younger brother's face pale, his eyes seemed to be dead, dull and empty. As his lips moved, he wanted to speak louder, but he couldn't speak louder, and Heifu couldn't hear it sincerely.

"If, if I am sick, the bride and the bride, the bride and the bride..." The younger brother choked up, he was worried about his wife and daughter. He was worried that if he died, his wife would remarry others, and his daughter would be lonely.

"Oh!" Heifu sighed and advised: "How can you be bad if you are at the end of the formation?"

The array of fifteen people in depth was shocked to the fourth-last row, and the black man was in the eleventh-last row, which was the fourth-last row. When the two armies fought in formation, the first three rows were most likely to suffer casualties, so the brave men in the first three rows could become famous soldiers.

"...The bride and the bride... are all entrusted to you..." Heifu's words were heard in surprise, but he seemed to have temporarily lost his language ability and did not know what Heifu's words meant. When he wanted to say something else, the drum suddenly sounded and the Qin army attacked.

"All soldiers have it! Get up-!" The soldiers shouted louder than the overwhelming sound of the Qin army's drums. 'Wow, wow, wow...'. After a series of collisions of giant armor, the soldiers sitting stood up when they heard the order.

In the distance, the Qin army crossing the tributary rushed like a flood, and the thunderous sound of cannons immediately sounded. Heifu heard the sound of cannons, and in a trance he saw the smoke from guns that ejected when the cannons were fired, but he did not see the cannons defeating the attacking Qin army like the legendary ones. The width of the Qin army was twenty miles. Faced with such a wide front, more than one hundred cannons were dropped from the bucket.

Of course, ordinary soldiers did not understand this, and Heifu never thought that the battle between the formation could be won by artillery soldiers. He silently recited the Grand Sima's blessing, and the military order came again, "All soldiers have it! - Spear!"

Compared with other Chu army brigades, the newly formed twelve divisions had no archers. Without the archers officers, there was no archers' order to fire volleys. Because the cannon could not move the position when it was fired, the entire Chu army array was waiting for the Qin army to attack. The soldiers of the newly formed brigade picked up the spears early, and the soldiers in front of the army formation Doubei suddenly looked at the attacking Qin army.

Artillery was a weapon of the Chu army, but it was never really used for large-scale formation wars. The Battle of Bailuyuan was not the Battle of Weinan, nor was it the Battle of Weinan. At this time, all the artillery on our side were arranged before the Ying army, but the Qin people avoided the position of the Ying army. In other words, the military formations attacked by the Qin people were broken into two pieces, and the Qin army that was supposed to face the Ying army fell far behind the Qin army on both sides for several miles.

The breaking of the Qin army's military formation is a good thing for the Chu army. If the cavalry can take advantage of the slightest, they can hit the left and right. Unfortunately, all the cavalry are concentrated on the right wing and cannot seize this fatal gap. Compared with the depth of the twenty-five Qin army, the depth of the fifteen Chu army makes the military formation wider. The left wing without cavalry is as many as seven or eight miles above the Qin army at the western end.

The Qin army took the initiative to form a battle and launched an attack; let a three-mile-long vacancy be created in the middle of the front, and the Chu army's left wing was short and seven or eight miles long (this means flanking encirclement). Is Li Xin that stupid? Dou Bei doesn't believe it.

If he didn't believe it, the Qin army was coming in a big stairs. He had to issue an order to end the spear. When the Qin army was within a hundred steps, the division and brigade equipped with archers began to order the shooting, and he could only order again: "All soldiers are there! Already-prepared!"

After the spear is over, there is also a spear to raise it, and then the spear is sprinting. The Qin people in front of us are getting closer and closer, and the arrows are constantly falling into the Qin army formation, and they are also within the range of the Qin soldiers' single-arm crossbow. However, at this moment, the sound of a snail sounded.

A moment after the sound of the horn sounded, Dou Bei suddenly felt a little dizzy in his mind. He felt that he had hallucinations. Unfortunately, this was not an illusion, it was a real sound. The Qin army did ring the bronze horn and retreated almost all the way around about fifty steps away from the Chu army's front. The reason why it was almost said that it was because the Qin army was facing the Ying army and the Qin army was moving forward quickly.

In order to prevent artillery attacks, the Qin army front that was facing the artillery position was broken and vacant. The Qin army, which should have been in this section, was two or three miles away. Even so, within the effective range of artillery shells, the Qin army was still suffering heavy casualties, but it was far from the point of collapse of the formation. Now that the entire army retreated, they quickly moved forward, trying to fill the three-mile-long vacancy.

If it was not repaired before, it was because the Chu army had not attacked before. If there was a gap, there was no gap and could avoid artillery attacks. The reason for the Chu army to recover when retreating was that it would definitely attack at this time.

"Kill--!" Seeing the Qin army retreating, the earth-shaking shouts and shouts sounded without surprise. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, a year later, the generals and soldiers also regretted it for a year. The Chu army could never let the Qin people escape from their noses. With the shouts of killing, the rumbling sound of cannons stopped. The Chu soldiers holding the spear high rushed towards the retreating Qin army like arrows.

The shouting was deafening, and the chasing footsteps were also deafening. The Heifu, who was in the fourth row holding a spear, couldn't help but shout with everyone, and chased forward with his comrades in the front row. At this time, he could not hear anything or feel anything. His mind was filled with illusions: one was his hard-working mother, another was a woman who married others, another was a cypress who wanted to make meat soup, and then he turned into the evil dog barking at him in the sorghum field...

As he ran, Heifu's breathing became more and more rapid and his pace became heavier. Just when he thought his heart was about to jump out of his chest, a continuous "slap" sound rang out. The comrade in front of him suddenly stopped, he hit his back, and a strong force came from behind him, and someone hit his back.

He was familiar with this kind of collision between his comrades. What was really surprised was that his hands holding up Yi Ji high suddenly shocked. Yi Ji almost flew away. At the same time, a bloody spearhead stabbed his shoulder armor, making a harsh metal froze. Death was only an inch away from him.
