Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 315 Peak Showdown ([-])

"So, I'll take my leave!" Chu Junxiao bowed, turned around and walked away.

Cao Shen was a little worried and said: "Your Majesty, to break the Chu formation tomorrow, it is better for the ministers to lead the army..."

"No." Han Xin waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone, "General, you stay in the camp and monitor the Pengcheng Huainan Army at the same time. I will lead an army of 30 to break the formation."

Cao Shen was silent, and what King Qi had decided could not be changed.

There was nothing to say all night, just after the Yin time of the next day, the eastern sky had not yet turned white, and the Qi army camp became busy and noisy. Teams of shield armor, rows of spearmen, and rows of archers came out of the tents one after another. , Then one after another torches were lit, and gradually converged to the wilderness directly in front of the camp like a river entering the sea.

In the wilderness in front of the camp, a four-foot-tall observation vehicle has been erected.

Looking at the car, Han Xin was dressed in a purple robe, standing proudly with his hands on the railing. Behind Han Xin, besides Yaxiang Lou Jing, Cao Yu and other ten members of Su Weilang, there was also a ten-year-old boy with sword-like eyebrows. His star eyes and face are like Fu Fan's, and his face is even more similar to Han Xin's. He is Han Xin's second son Han He.

At this time, the sky was still dark, and only dots of fire could be seen moving in the camp, and then they converged towards the wilderness in front of the camp. Han He had never seen such a magnificent night scene, and was so excited. The little face was flushed, and he turned his head and said to Han Xin: "Father, I have such a great army in Daqi, and it will be just around the corner to sweep the world!"

Han Xin smiled slightly, just touched Han He's little head, and didn't speak.

Although Han Xin appointed the eldest son Han Kan as the crown prince, he still likes the second son the most in his heart. In Han Xin's eyes, this second son not only looks like him, but also is smarter. He has read a lot at a young age. The book of war, this time, the reason why Han Xin brought Han He was to take the opportunity to train him well.

On the north bank of Surabaya, a four-foot-tall observation car has also been erected.

On the lookout car, Bi Shu was dressed in white and light fur, and he was holding a canopy to look at the northern wilderness. Behind Bi Shu, there were only a dozen or so guards. The scabbard of Wang Jian and the colorful gemstones on the handle of the sword are reflecting the dazzling brilliance under the sunshine, which makes people dare not look directly at it.

Under the watch car, 15 soldiers of the Chu army were sitting quietly on the river beach to rest.

Although Bi Shu was leading the army for the first time in his life, he was well aware of the hardships of the soldiers. He knew that it would not be easy to stand in the wilderness for half a day with armor and weapons weighing hundreds of catties on his back. The army is desperate to kill, at this time, it is even more necessary to conserve physical strength, and there is no need for the soldiers to suffer.

For Bi Shu's decree, Xiao Kai, Tian Heng and other senior generals in the army did not take it seriously. In their opinion, a martial artist should have the appearance of a martial artist. What is a hundred catties standing in the wilderness for half a day?Back then, it was common for them to march hundreds of miles overnight.

However, Xiao Kai, Tian Heng and others did not dare to challenge Bi Shu's general power, the shining Wang Jian was right there.

All of a sudden, there was a faint sound of horseshoes coming from the wilderness ahead, and then a fast horse rushed out from the thin morning light, almost approaching the watch cart, and the knight on the horse reined in severely. The horse under the crotch raised its head and hissed sadly, then stood up, kicked the horse's hooves again and again, and stopped the forward momentum when it landed again.

"General Wei!" The knight reined in his horse and stopped, then looked at Bi Shu on the carriage and bowed his hands, "The Qi army is here!"

Bi Shu nodded lightly, then raised his right hand and pressed forward lightly, and said calmly: "Order, the whole army is in formation!"

"Here!" An orderly soldier responded loudly, then strode to the guardrail behind the watch car, then raised a triangular command flag embroidered with a horn symbol and waved it vigorously twice.

The next moment, the low and distant sound of the horn has already resounded through the sky.

On the river beach, Meng Ji threw the pig's feet and wine bag in his hand on the grass, and stood up. A soldier had already stepped forward and handed over the iron helmet. Meng Ji took the helmet and buckled it heavily on his head. Then, while fastening the ribbon, he strode towards the red monkey who was grazing leisurely on the river beach.

The war horses were psychic, and many war horses had already felt the tension before the war from the endless sound of horns, and they all began to agitate. He was very calm, and when Meng Ji approached, he even kissed Meng Ji affectionately.

Meng Ke stroked the red monkey's mane, and then got up on the saddle.

Meng Yu reined in his horse, and the horse galloped slowly across the grassy beach. Wherever the people and horses passed by, the cavalry soldiers who were sitting on the grass and resting got up one after another. The 20 cavalry troops in the government soldiers have all mounted their horses and formed a slightly scattered cavalry formation.

Meng Chu raised his horizontal saber loudly, and the [-] cavalry soldiers also raised their ring-swords one after another.

Amidst the sound of hoofbeats, Meng Ji rode forward again, and while striking the ring swords of the cavalry officers and soldiers in the front row with the horizontal knife in his hand, he raised his head to the sky and howled: "Yang Yang Da Chu!"

"Jiu Jiu dead soldiers!" The soldiers in the front row roared one after another.

"The blood won't run dry!" Meng Ji let out a long howl again.

"There will be no truce!" The cavalry soldiers responded like a mountain.

After Meng Ji rode his horse back and forth a few times, the momentum of the [-] cavalry was completely mobilized.

At the same time, the generals Yu Ziqi, Xiao Kai, Tian Heng, and Zi Cheshi also boosted their morale. In less than half a meal, the 15 Chu troops formed an army on the river beach. In the rigorous formation, the soldiers of the Chu army in the formation waved their weapons while screaming at the leading general in front with arrogance.

In the great Chu, there are dead soldiers; if the blood is not shed, there will be no truce!It's not just slogans!
In fact, every general and soldier of the Chu Army thought so in their hearts. Ever since they became soldiers, they had always dreamed that one day they would be able to set foot on the battlefield, kill the enemy, make meritorious deeds, and become princes and marquises!For the vast majority of the soldiers of the Chu Army, this was the first time they set foot on the battlefield in their lives. It was inevitable to be nervous, but more excited.

Looking at the high-morale Chu army, Bi Shu couldn't help but smile.

After ten years of hard work, he finally cultivated this mighty lion. Today, this hero is finally going to show his sharp teeth on the battlefield. Apart from nervousness, Bi Shu is more about anticipation. Chu Jun The soldiers are looking forward to killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds, while Bi Shu is looking forward to the fact that the lion's claws can tear Han Xin's Qi army apart on the battlefield.

Bi Shu leisurely raised his right hand, and the continuous sound of the horn stopped abruptly.

In the wilderness ahead, there was a faint sound of a horn suddenly. It was the horn of the Qi army.

Han Xin is here, the army of Qi is here!Bi Shu turned his head to look at the missing mark on the car, it was almost exactly Chen Shi, but Han Xin was quite punctual, and when he said Chen Shi came, it really did.

##########
In the northern wilderness, the 30 troops of the Qi State almost covered the entire wasteland, and they marched southward.

Among the army, the tall watch chariot was slowly moving forward under the drag of hundreds of warriors.

Standing on the high observation car, Han Xin looked forward, backward, left, and right in four directions. As far as he could see, there were soldiers of the Qi army densely packed like ants. What I heard, apart from the distant and long horns, was the endless, sonorous clashing sound of armor.

"Father, look, the army of Chu State!" Han He suddenly pointed forward and shouted.

Han Xin looked up leisurely, and saw that the Chu army was already waiting in formation on the Sishui river beach ahead. With years of experience in fighting, Han Xin could judge the approximate strength of the Chu army at a glance. The Chu army definitely did not have 30 troops. Judging metaphysically, it should be around 15, and at most it will not exceed 20.

However, the morale of the Chu army is extremely high, which is by no means comparable to that of the Qi army.

Lou Jing who stood behind Han Xin frowned even more.

I heard that the Chu army is sharp. I just heard it before, and it didn't have any direct impact. But after seeing it today, I realized that the rumors are true. It seems that this time, the Qi army really met a strong enemy.

Although Han Xin didn't turn his head back, he probably guessed what Lou Jing was thinking, and immediately turned his head and asked, "Ya Xiang, do you think that the Chu army on the opposite side is well-coordinated and sharp-armored, and can be my great enemy?"

Lou Jing nodded, and replied: "At least it is much stronger than the Huainan army we encountered before."

Han Xin smiled lightly and said: "Ya Xiang, I have encountered a strong army with a stricter formation and sharper armor than this one. The Chu army in front just looks good, but Xiang Yu's [-] army more than ten years ago , but they are the real elites of a hundred battles, I even wiped out Xiang Yu's [-] elites, let alone the more than [-] seemingly powerful Chu troops?"

Han Xin's tone seemed very flat, but the strong self-confidence revealed in the flatness was clearly felt by the young man Han He. The young man raised his head, looked up at Han Xin with incomparable admiration, and said: " Father, my child thinks that you are a great military strategist that no one can match in ancient times, even the grandpa and grandson can hardly compare."

Han Xin smiled slightly and said, "He'er, watch carefully, and see how the father breaks the formation."

Han He nodded and asked, "Father, what kind of formation is the Chu army on the opposite side?"

Han Dao said: "The name of this formation is the one-character long snake formation. If it can match the terrain, it will be like a giant python running across the wilderness. If you attack its head, its tail will roll back. If you take its tail, its head will be swallowed upside down, and its waist will be chiseled. Then it will come from the beginning to the end, which is very beneficial.”

Han He was fascinated by what he heard, and said again: "Father, what should we do to break the long snake array?"

Han Xin smiled slightly, and said calmly: "The cavalry on the two wings is the key to the formation of the long snake, and the key to cracking the formation is the two wings. You only need to pinch its head, pinch its tail, and then attack its waist. , then this array can be broken."

PS: This duel is more difficult to write than the game between Bi Shu and Yafu. I spent all night thinking about the plot last night, so I have nothing to change. In addition, I will move to a new house tomorrow. Might not be able to update it either.
