Chapter 7 Fighting Array

The eve of the war should have been silent. Unexpectedly, Tian Heng made such a big noise.

Early in the morning! The Qin army, which should have been mobilized in large numbers, was extremely quiet. Even the soldiers standing guard in front of the village gate were like eggplants beaten by frost. The guards who were routinely patrolling were in chaos, and the door of the commander's tent was crowded with people without any discipline. An astonishing news spread like dark clouds and spread throughout the military camp. The chief general Guan Ying was assassinated and died by the Qi people last night.

Li Shiqi lay on Guan Ying's corpse like a honeycomb and cried to death, feeling that his rescue was late, which led to Guan Ying's death. However, some generals led by Zhang Han felt in their hearts that if he had not come to rescue, General Guan Ying might still have a way out.

As well as Guan Ying's corpse, there were five assassins from Qi. The six of them all turned out to be unrecognizable and turned into hedgehogs, with feather arrows all over their bodies and faces. The only thing that can be identified was Guan Ying's armor. The five assassins were naturally pulled by angry Qin soldiers to the village and chopped into meat sauce that was finer than sauce. Guan Ying's corpse was placed on a chariot, wearing a red robe. The grief Mr. Li Shiqi kept lying on the corpse and cried, his voice miserably like an old wolf who had been hungry in the valley for a month.

Zhang Han immediately took over Guan Ying's command position and vowed in front of the entire army to avenge Guan Ying, so that the people of Qi would pay the price for their shameless behavior. The 100,000 soldiers of the Qin army were extremely angry, and the scene almost lost control.

Zhang Han hit his arm with a sword in front of the entire army, and made a tragic oath: "Soldiers, the people of Qi are despicable and shameless. Killing our generals and insulting our country. We Qin people cannot tolerate this insult. We want to take revenge!" The war horse under our crotch screamed, their front hooves soared into the air, and roared to the sky.

"Kill into the city! Kill into the city!" The hundred thousand soldiers, as they hit their arms, shouted in unison.

The sound of war drums and the sound of trumpets started. Zhang Han turned around and advanced forward with a heroic spirit: "Start!"

The horse's hooves were messy, the chariots were rumbling, the battle flags were harsh, the battle robe was clanging, and the neat steps of tens of thousands of people seemed to make the entire Eastern plain tremble.

The proud Qi army had already lined up in the open space outside the city.

The Eastern Plain is now in the spring rain, reflecting the mist and desolation. After a winter of thin and shriveled lonely trees appear alone in the cool breeze, like a group of young birds with nowhere to settle down. As soon as the Qin army died, they trembled one after another, and the dead branches fell one after another. This should not be a phenomenon in spring.

The plains in early spring are still wastelands. Qi Jun is leaning against the ancient city, and there are wastelands without vitality on both sides. In Zhang Han's eyes, this army is like a dead body gathered together. He believes that the wheels and horse hooves behind him will definitely crush everything in front of him. Li Shiqi was secretly proud.

After Tian Heng finished lineup, Leng Jun looked ahead with the reins of the horse. Zhang Han raised his sword and the Qin army's lineup came to an abrupt end. Zhang Han was five feet away from Tian Heng and roared, "Tian Heng is despicable!"

Tian Heng didn't see Guan Ying, and he felt relieved and pretended to be stupid, saying, "What does it mean? Why didn't Guan Ying come out? Didn't he make an appointment with Ben Jingwu? Why didn't he come out yet? Are you scared and hid? Haha."

Zhang Han turned around in the war horses. Seeing the Qin army standing like a iron wall, he was overjoyed and suddenly turned around and said, "Tian Heng, although you used despicable tricks to kill our commander, we Qin people will not admit defeat. Today, I want you to pay your blood debts and blood." Tian Heng laughed and said, "Zhang Han, Zhang Han, you are really shameless. What's the courage of the defeated general?!" This is equivalent to revealing Zhang Han's scars. Zhang Han's chest was so angry that he was undulating, and anger burned over his head, and a fire burst out from his eyes.

"Dog thief, today is your death. General Guan Ying is not here. I will fight you to the death." As he said that, the war horse spread out his four hooves and rushed away.

Tian Heng roared and followed the riot. Guan Ying was dead. He was killing Zhang Han, and the Qin army was over.

Tian Heng made a move that was both defeated. He stabbed up and down in his hand, and ignored Zhang Han's sword and wanted to take the lead first and destroy Zhang Han.

Zhang Han was so crazy, but he really couldn't take advantage of it. He was defeated step by step and sweating profusely. He could not resist it after passing twenty moves. Tian Heng was overjoyed and opened his marks even more. He aimed at Zhang Han's throat, chest, lower abdomen and other vital points, and stabbed like a cannon. Zhang Han tried his best to support ten more moves, and the war horse retreated one meter, shouting while fighting; "Since it's a bet, I admit defeat, let's compete in the military formation again."

Zhang Han sneered in his heart, whoever still tells you the rules at this time, and if you don't kill you, you will never end. His arms trembled, and the big gun made him even more arrogant, sweeping and stabbing, endlessly, Zhang Han's big sword was only capable of striking, and he couldn't even pass out a single attack. Seeing that Tian Heng was about to kill Zhang Han, two generals suddenly appeared in the Qin army, Zhang Ping on the left and Sima Xin on the right, holding swords and guns, facing Tian Heng. Because the distance was too close, before Tian Heng could use the killer, the iron gun was stolen by two weapons. Two or three generals rushed out of the Qi army, running and cursing, and the two sides immediately formed a group fight.

Tian Heng said angrily, "I agreed to have one-on-one, how did you break the contract? The Qin army was defeated, can you try to cheat?" Zhang Han shouted out panting. "I agreed to have three games in the competition, but now I have only competed one game. How can I lose? I only know that the next game has passed. I have already admitted defeat. Why don't you let go?"

Tian Heng had no reason at first, and felt relieved. Seeing that more and more generals were coming from both sides, the plan to kill Zhang Han in one fell swoop was definitely ruined. Tian Heng turned his eyes and said, "Since that's the case, I will compete with you for the military formation. If I lose again, I will withdraw from Qi and return my territory."

Zhang Han said coldly, "One word is determined."

The generals on both sides faded their weapons and retreated one after another, and a clearing of space flashed out in the middle.

What Tian Heng thought in his mind was that the Qin people lost their chief general, and the second general Zhang Han was defeated by one and then. The Qin army must have been extremely depressed, and they would definitely be defeated in the competition for the military formation.

Tian Heng ordered the Qi army behind him to set up a formation.

Zhang Han and Li Shiqi were laughing in their hearts. Tian Heng wanted to use the battle formation to trick people, and this idea coincided with them. Zhang Han raised his sword, the flag of the Qin army changed, drums sounded like thunder, horns were like tide, soldiers and horses crossed, sharpening their swords. The spirit of the soldiers rushed out of the Niwan Palace and appeared on their cheeks.

Tian Heng's eyes were shuttled back and forth on the plain like a weaving shuttle, and was stunned by the uniformity and speed and stability of the Qin army. If it weren't for the two previous victories, he would have decisively cancelled the battle formation and the general army returned. But now he firmly believed that no matter how excellent the Qin army was, how strong the discipline, or how patriotic the Qin army was, he would still be without a headshot and would definitely lose.

Zhang Han was full of confidence. Although the Qi army's formation took the lead, it still seemed messy. The white weapons in the Qin army's formation were neatly erected, tightly fitting.

There are still three armies on the left, center and right. They are divided into nine platoons in total, with more than 10,000 people in each team. The platoon is like a knife-cut tofu, and there is no extra extra skirt. Each two platoons is mixed with a general in red robes and golden armor.

Zhang Han's central army first was three rows of infantry, each with sixty-eight men, holding a seven-meter spear, tall, and was the vanguard of the military formation; behind it was the thirty-eighth column with chariots and infantry intersecting each other, forming the core of the main body of the military formation; on the east and west sides and at the tail end, there were a row of horizontal teams facing south, north, and respectively, respectively, which were the wing army and guards of the military formation. Such three square formations formed the central army, and the distance between the two chariots was separated by two chariots.

The wing army on the east side is composed of oars and shield soldiers and crossbow soldiers. Three rows of oars and shield soldiers are half kneeling, and the five powerful crossbow soldiers are ready to go. After the six rows of infantry, it is a strange and complex square formation. This square formation has four small formations. The first is a chariot and soldiers composed of a strong horse and cavalry; the middle is a combination of chariots and soldiers, composed of a mixed formation of chariots, infantry, and cavalry; the third northern half is composed of cavalry with a single color, heavily armored black armor, and the last wing is a heavy infantry, all holding short blades, for some reason. The four square formations form a large square formation, organically combined, composed of chariots, cavalry, and crossbow soldiers. They can attack near and defend, and they are neatly ordered and in a strict and orderly manner, and are impeccable.

The wing army on the west side is the most majestic and powerful, commanding 40,000 troops. The basic structure of the three square arrays is connected to the east side, but the combined figures are not rectangular or twenty-grade characters. They are very similar to a giant chariot that rolls forward quickly. It has both wheels and body. It can be imagined that after this giant chariot rushed into the enemy formation with a thunderous momentum, the enemy was like a mantis under the chariot, unable to withstand the tragic situation of running around in scattered areas.

No wonder before the battle was fought, Tian Heng felt a little sweaty when he looked at these neat "machines". In addition, Tian Heng could not figure out what the seven or eight-meter-long spear behind Zhang Han did. It looked like something like a horse-rejecting person, probably it might be blocking the impact of the cavalry.

In that case, he was a little depressed because his formation was put on the cavalry and rushed. Looking at the formation on both the east and west wings, the Qin army archers could just shoot at the cavalry blocked by the spear, which meant that the cavalry formation had no use at all, and if it was not done well, they would lose money.

Tian Heng thought to himself, it seems that the Qin people have no new tricks, they just studied a formation that restrains cavalry. It's no big deal. Is war? Theory is theory. Sometimes that thing is too pale. Only when it is performed on the spot can it explain everything. The knowledge here is great, with morale and the quality of the commander, etc., it is not possible to set up a few square formations to win.

Tian Heng had inexplicably thought of underestimating the Qin army. He hadn't felt it at all.

Anyway, Guan Ying is already in a hurry, and Qin soldiers must be slaughtered by me

It’s a pity, what if Guan Ying doesn’t die?

Zhang Han was a little panicked when he saw Tian Heng, thinking that he couldn't regret it. The miscellaneous military formation of Qi was a joke in Zhang Han's eyes. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as disdainful.

What kind of military formation is there? It is simply a mixed brigade of cavalry, infantry, fighting chariots and soldiers. They line up and stand together, coax together, and then rushed out. It was just divided into three groups, left, middle and right. Tian Heng was so ridiculous.

Of course, the Qi army before Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms was not of this kind, but this Qi army was definitely not the Qi army, and they had no contact at all. The Qin army was different. Although their combat effectiveness was ten times inferior to before, they still had the shadow of the past. In comparison, the advantages were slightly different.

"Wuwuwuwuwuwuwu" the horns of both sides soared into the sky like a competition. A neat "kick" sound was made in the Qin army. After Zhang Han heard it, he knew that the soldiers had all entered a state of combat readiness. The situation was like a killing machine with a tense clockwork.

Zhang Han raised his arm, and the sound of the war drums went from low to high, becoming more and more dense. One side, two sides, twenty war drums were played at the same time. The atmosphere of killing had broken through the blue sky and enveloped the earth. The soldiers on both sides were red, and their fighting spirit was in the sky and murderous intent was full of murderous aura.

Zhang Han thought, if the enemy does not move, I will not move, and I will seek victory in a steady manner.

Tian Heng thought: The morale of the Qin army was low, and our army should keep its strength in one go.

"Kill!" Therefore, this sound must come from Tian Heng's mouth. Qi Jun crowded and beat each other like a flood that blocked the embankment, and the ground immediately shook up and down. The clouds in the sky were also shaking. The drizzle of cold rain was dispersed.

When the Qi army approached three feet, Zhang Han shouted violently, "Shoot, shoot arrows!" Swish, countless feather arrows weaved a black net covering the earth in the air, and the lives in the black net were twisted to the ground in an instant. Qi army was wailing and fell to the ground. Because the Qin army's iron walls were much stronger than Tian Heng imagined, his cavalry was naturally turned away by the seven-meter-long spear formation, and the rain of arrows from both wings covering the sky and the sun instantly took the lives of nearly a thousand knights. Horse corpses overlapped with each other, and the blood-red blood river was extremely miserable.

The barriers of the Qin army did not collapse immediately due to low morale and Qi army's courage, which made Tian Heng miscalculate and felt at a loss.

What's worse is that after encountering this wall, the Qi army showed signs of dying. Tian Heng must not let this happen. He shouted and rushed out of the human wall alley: "Soldiers, follow me to kill." Qi soldiers, who were already a little unsteady, were inspired by his motivation and regained their fighting spirits, howling and rushing towards the Qin army that opened their bows and arrows like wild animals. Of course, the Qin army would not be polite. After a round of bows and arrows, under Zhang Han's personal leadership, they rushed out like a group of rabbits. The two tides finally collided. In the instant, the bright red tide rushed into the air at the intersection. It seemed that the rumbling sound of plasma flowing in the sky, and the miserable and heroic tide could be heard in the world. The miserable and heroic tide was like a huge tide of Qiantang River.

The Qi army seemed to be trapped in a meat grinder made of steel. They hit walls everywhere, were being stabbed everywhere, and their heads were bleeding everywhere. The Qin cavalry and infantry shuttled through guerrillas and cooperated with assassination, which made them confused. After finally rescuing a little spirit and organizing a little horse. If they wanted to counterattack and break through, they saw the rolling wheels ripped up smoke and dust, and the huge chariot troops crushed, and all the corpses and life were turned into ashes. It was so powerful, it was so weird. This was the power of cooperation. Almost all Qi soldiers who died in the fighting formation all felt powerful and difficult to exert. It seemed that they had fallen into a trap and were hit by a set of combined punches by Tyson. They were startled, and then their whole body was in pain, and the corpse was gone. The Qin army rehearsed very well, with a slight slight look. It took an hour to take the Qi army with a rainbow of morale, retreated in a panic like a howling team.

The Qi army was weak in combat and had fewer people than the Qin army. They could not stand such a fierce attack from the Qin army. Once they were defeated in the front, they immediately became as if they were pushing down dominoes. As the same goes, they trampled on each other, and countless casualties were killed and injured. The Qin army followed the tail to chase after him. At first, Tian Heng relied on his quick sword and was ruthless, supervising the battle tightly, and forcing many soldiers back.
