Wang Ben lined up, and the cavalry army that had been defeated yesterday once again set out with the whole army, leaving the camp in the sand sea and heading to the north bank of the chasm. Tens of thousands of war horses galloped out of the camp, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, and Wang Jian in the curtain couldn't help but close his eyes when he heard the endless sound of hooves. My son is about to die in battle! As a father, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, which is probably the most cruel thing, but this may be the only way to defeat the Chu army.

Wang Jian closed his eyes, and there was silence in the tent. Except for Liu Chi and the few strategists who came up with this plan, the others did not know how the general would break the enemy, but for now, the Qin army led by Wang Ben could not escape the fate of defeat.

Fusu, who had spoken a few words with Aristotle IV in Greek, finally couldn't help it, he looked at Wang Jian with closed eyes, and asked childishly: "General, our army is only 250,000 in this battle, can we defeat the Jing people?" ”

Fusu was requested by Wang Qian, and since he came to the Shahai camp, he has fully supported Wang Qian, and has never questioned any of Wang Qian's military orders. Now that I suddenly asked, I am afraid that it was not Fusu's original intention, but the meaning of Master Taifu Baidi. Wang Jian opened his eyes and looked at Aristotle IV, and Zhao Yong and Liu Chi also looked at Aristotle IV.

"I can't." Wang Jian made no secret of it, he knew the outcome of the battle a few months ago.

"Since you can't ......" Fusu looked at his teacher and said a few more words in Greek before he said, "If you can't win, why do you fight?" Is it a soldier's armor? There are not many soldiers in our army, but not all the soldiers and soldiers of the whole army need to be in armor, and the soldiers of the extreme western country are not the whole army wearing armor. ”

"The eldest son should know that the enemy of the Far West is not the Jing people, but the enemy of our army is the Jing people." Wang Jian let out a long breath and tried to explain to Fusu why he did this in as simple and understandable words as possible. "Our army is blocking people in the chasm, it is for the armor of the soldiers, not for the armor of the soldiers. The way to break the thorn is to work hard for the disadvantages, and then take away its qi, so that the Jing people will be defeated. ”

"Bad work, and then take away its anger?" Fusu didn't know much about military affairs, and when he translated this sentence to Aristotle IV, this Bai Di lord in a white gibe spoke directly to Wang Qian: "The general wants to make the Chuni army tired?" ”

"Yes." The translation of Fusu is tired, so that the Chu army is tired.

"Exhaust the Chuni with two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers?" After receiving an affirmative answer, Aristotle IV was even more surprised.

"No, it's an army of 600,000 to exhaust the Jing people." Wang Jian said.

"Why don't you ...... 600,000 troops" The surprise on Aristotle IV's face had now turned into shock. The so-called tiring of the Chuni people, in other words, is to make them be killed by the Chu army. Driving 600,000 soldiers to the Chu army to kill, Aristotle IV felt that everything around him was instantly dark, as if he had fallen from the human world into the underworld. He whispered to the gods.

"Let 600,000 soldiers gather in a formation, if the front pawn moves, the rear pawn is also shocked, the rout will be all defeated, and the defeat will be completely defeated." Wang Jian said in a deep voice. The Chu army was already twenty miles away, and it was no longer a secret how this battle would be conducted. "I heard that Mahadula led an army against Persia, and his army had 60,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 horsemen; The Persian army had 200,000 foot soldiers and 45,000 cavalry soldiers, and Mahatul won a great victory.

However, if after this battle, Mahatula and 200,000 foot soldiers and 30,000 horsemen will face off, what will be the victory or defeat? However, if Mahatula wins again, and fights with 200,000 foot soldiers and 20,000 horsemen, what will be the victory or defeat? However, if Mahatula wins again, and after three victories, he will fight with 100,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 horsemen, what will be the victory or defeat? ”

Wang Jian used several Ran Ruo in one breath, even if Aristotle IV could not understand the Qin language, he was also captured by the momentum of Wang Jian when he spoke. Wheat yields are much lower than those of corn, and due to agricultural constraints, the population of the two river basins, the Nile basin, the Indus basin, and the Ganges basin has never been as dense as in East Asia, except for the more densely populated basins of the two river basins, the Nile basin, the Indus basin, and the Ganges basin, which are regularly flooded.

The dense population provided a large number of soldiers, and the complicated rivers provided convenient transportation, and if they did not witness it with their own eyes, people would not be able to believe that the boats of the Yue people could sail unimpeded to the city of Xianyang, and the boats of the Chengdu Ba people could reach the east gate of Linzi without going out of the sea.

After freeing themselves from the shackles of the limited wars of the aristocracy, the interaction between the two made the scale of the war in East Asia far greater than contemporaries and even later generations imagined, and the result was that later generations continued to question the history books, believing that the 450,000 Zhao troops in the Battle of Changping were as absurd as the 830,000 Wei troops in the imperial history books, which were accustomed to boasting about victory and concealing defeats.

As a witness, Aristotle IV was fully aware of the formidable mobilization of the Qin army's war machine, and any battle that took place in this land would be a world war if it were translated to the known world. Because of this, when Philip II had to consult with his friends and guards before the war on how to fight, the first team was generally equipped with a shogunate based on the seventy-two system.

Aristotle IV was confident in many things, including military equipment and operational tactics. But he didn't know anything about how to command hundreds of thousands of soldiers in a terrible battle. When Fusu relayed Wang Qian's series of 'Ran Ruo' to him, he was speechless in embarrassment.

Wang Jian didn't care about his embarrassment, Wang Jian knew that he was just a Bai Di Wenchen who could say that he couldn't do it in his hands. If nothing else, from the mere fact that he praised a battle of 70,000 men against 250,000 men, it was clear that he had never seen a large-scale war.

"And the field of battle, the place of corpses. If you die, you live, and if you are lucky, you die. Wang Jian continued. 600,000 people fought with each other, five times as many as Jing people, and the soldiers thought they were going to live, but if they were lucky, they would die; 100,000 or 200,000 people fought with each other, and the soldiers thought that they would die, but if they died, they lived. How did I defeat the Jing people? I'm so defeated......"

'Boom, boom' Wang Jian wanted to say something more, but there was an explosion like last night's outside the tent. The explosions were not intermittent, but continuous. In the explosions one after another, the generals looked at each other, and the Chu army was about to cross the chasm.

At the time of the great relocation, the soldiers who carved the wall finally ignited the gunpowder, and the entire section of the rammed earth wall two feet high flew into the sky. Through these gaps, the Chu army saw the world on the north bank of the chasm: about the idea of attacking half-crossing, the Qin army array was very close to the chasm, and because of the fear of the Chu army's artillery, the array could only move back 700 steps and line up two miles away from the ditch bank.

The military array was about 2,000 columns wide and was divided into three formations: front, middle and rear. The front and middle formations were about forty lines deep, separated by a hundred paces, and the latter was only twenty thin rows, separated by a hundred paces from the middle formation. The array was flanked by cavalry, and as in the Battle of Shashui, the cavalry was lined up on the two flanks of the infantry array, and there were about four or five thousand cavalry in the center of the array.

These four or five thousand horsemen were obviously used to storm the artillery array. The Qin army could only rely on this decisive charge to make the Chu army's artillery ineffective in a short period of time, so as to quickly create a melee situation in which the two armies exchanged troops. The Chu army had nothing to do about it, even if the Qin cavalry could not rush in front of him, the countless horse corpses killed by the artillery fire would block the firing boundary. The consequence of blocking the firing range is that the artilleryman will not be able to fire the cannonball at the most suitable angle, and the enemy will be trapped in the cannonball's jump path as much as possible.

Xiong Jing couldn't help but look at Shen Qing, the general of the artillery guard, and Shen Qing also looked at him with some annoyance. Under the eyes of the two, Shen Qing solemnly gave a military salute, and then turned around and ordered the artillery officer beside him. Xiong Jing didn't care that artillery could not play its due role in this battle, and the shogunate strategists had no plan to rely on artillery to defeat the Qin army and win. The role of artillery is to kill and wound enemy cavalry to minimize the pressure on your own knights.

"The Qin people are not all clothed with armor, but there is still leather armor!" Pan Yu, the general of the archers, was a man with a weak sense of presence, in his forties, with a round ruddy face and dense black beard. Ever since he learned that Linen Armor could defend against heavy arrows, Xiong Jing was sullen every time he saw him. At this time, he saw that most of the Qin soldiers were wearing leather armor, and he couldn't help laughing.

Each division had five hundred and seventy-six archers, and three or four million arrows in their baggage. The most worrying thing for the 10,000 archers was that the bows and arrows were useless, and Pan Yu's shouts made them breathe a sigh of relief, at least they could still kill the enemy in this battle.

The anguish of the cannon and the joy of the archers did not affect Xiong Jing's thoughts in the slightest. His Lu Lijing was lowered and raised, raised and lowered, constantly carefully observing every detail of the Qin Army's array from the horizon, trying to find the weakest position. However, at this time, all the Qin soldiers and soldiers were sitting on their knees, and he couldn't see the whole picture of them, and he couldn't even guess their height.

The only thing I know is that this Qin army led by Wang Ben has been waiting for a long time, and at the same time, it is more difficult to break through the arrangement of the front, middle and rear formations separated by a hundred paces than the three formations together. Just as Li Xin was defeated in the battle of Lao Ou Mountain, the soldiers in the front row will unconsciously lean back when they are violently charged, and this momentum will be transmitted to the soldiers behind them. In the crowd and panic, the soldiers themselves would push their comrades and take the road. The separation of the three formations from each other reduces this possibility.

The separation of the three formations from each other will also prevent the heavy cavalry wedge formation from rushing to the end in one go. The heavy rider was dressed in great armor, and the weight of the knight, weapon, and saddle was close to one hundred and fifty kilograms. Even for a 500-kilogram war horse, this weight is close to its limit. Quick-step, trot more than 100 steps, and the last 30 steps impact. It is almost impossible to hit two hundred paces in one breath, and to impact three Qin army arrays armed with chieftain spears, and the last two impacts are not covered by large and small grenades.

Fu Jing, Jing Sheng, Qi Ji Heel, Xiang Liang, E Wu and others have been behind Xiong Jing, and when they saw the Qin army listing such an array, several people even suspected that there were Hou spies of the Qin people among the cavalry generals. This spaced array restrained the heavy cavalry charge.

Xiong Jing seemed to know their thoughts, coughed and then raised his horsewhip and said: "There are three formations of Qin people's foot soldiers, and there are also three formations of our army's heavy cavalry. ”

"The minister is willing to rush into battle first to help Da Ao kill Wang Ben." Jing's family has a national thief, and Jingsheng is very worried that everyone will suspect that he leaked secrets to the Qin people. Breaking through the first array was the most difficult, but he could only show that he had never passed through Qin.
