Sixty miles is the place of two rounds, and the Qin army did not travel more than one round and thirty miles every day. Even if it is thirty miles, the strength and baggage are still a little unable to keep up. The Qin army's front army left Xiangheguan today, advanced sixty miles, and camped just east of the corner, while Li Xin will stay at Xiangheguan tonight. With the Qin army's marching speed of thirteen miles per hour, the camp will be pulled out tomorrow and tomorrow, and Li Xin will be able to reach the surprise attack point at noon and just after noon.

To kill Li Xin, you must advance the arrival time to the corner. The Yingshi did not rush to the end fifty miles away, and it was about five miles away from the surprise attack point to wait and see the position of the Chinese military flag. Purely from a calculation point of view, it will take two quarters of an hour to stride forward in five miles, and the reaction time of the Qin army will also be two quarters of an hour.

How many soldiers can the Qin army mobilize in two quarters of an hour to defend to the death? Just by walking on a regular foot, with the calculation of three marching columns, more than 13,700 people can be mobilized in two quarters of an hour to defend each other; If it was running, the number of people would be several times more than 13,000. It's just that there is still reaction time, as well as the transfer time of the soldiers before and after, as well as the confusion and blockage caused by the Qin soldiers, chariots and horses during the transfer.

The strategists are the smartest people in the whole Chu State, but unfortunately they are not very accustomed to expressing everything in numbers, and the Great Sima Mansion has not accumulated relevant data and experience. It is not clear how quickly the Qin army reacted to a sudden attack? The orderliness of the queue when the soldiers are mobilized, will there be chaos in the event of a sudden attack on the narrow passage? The only thing is certain: no matter how powerful an army is, it is not fully deployed, it is the weakest moment.

Soon Xiong Jing summoned the generals of each division to lead the army to discuss, and after the military discussion was over, the soldiers went to bed early. The whole army will get up at dawn the next morning, and before tomorrow the whole army will set out, approaching the surprise attack point from the paved dense forest path. At about five miles, Li Xin's position was determined and he waited for the assault.

It was already afternoon in the military meeting. The Qin army's front army had already camped fifty miles away from Yingshi at this time. Under normal circumstances, the Qin army scouts only explored fifty miles, but during the military discussion, the Qin army scouts suddenly galloped under the mountain range. If it weren't for the fact that the whole army was already on guard, maybe they would have given these repulsors a clue.

The Qin army reprimanded the cavalry and galloped in the direction of Biyang, and ran back to the direction of Xianghe Pass before dark, and the number of people was much less, and many people should have been killed by the cavalry there. The location of Yingshi's surprise attack was not conducive to cavalry warfare, and more than 8,000 knights were all hidden in Biyang City. The foot soldiers attacked Li Xin by surprise, but the cavalry was just a bystander, at most they gave orders, which made the knights feel very aggrieved, and then this anger spread to the Qin army's reprimand. If it weren't for the fact that a few people were to be sent back to report the news, the Qin army would probably have to confess all of them in Biyang.

The Qin army rode quickly, chasing dozens of dragon horse knights behind them. After chasing until the two sides of the summer road close to the camp of the Qin army's former army, these dragoons turned back in reluctance. The mountain where Yingshi hid was called Lao Eagle Mountain in later generations, and the eagle was a crow, and there were many crows living here.

The knights of the two armies fled one after the other, and galloped swiftly past, and the startled crows led the crows, until at last the whole sky was full of black and dreary crows, and the crows obscured the only little sky between the trees. They also hissed 'wah, wow, wow, wow, ......'. Fortunately, the crow is a lucky bird in the eyes of the soldiers, and the soldiers of the whole army looked at the crows in the sky with great interest, treating it as a rare spectacle under the sunset.

"Jing people have passed Biyang?" He returned to Xiangheguan late at night, and when he heard the news, Li Xin was not too surprised.

"Yes, yes." All of Yu Fen's cavalry were transferred to Guanzhong, but the cavalry still left some elites for Li Xin. However, Wang Fei personally led a hundred horsemen to Biyang to investigate, and only a dozen knights returned. "The Jing people are very heavily equipped, and only fifteen people can return with one hundred cavalry, and they will only turn back after chasing me to the front army."

"The Knights of the Thorn Knights?" Wang Fei complained while reporting on the military situation. At this time, Anqi had already joined Li Xin, and when he heard him say this, Anqi immediately asked. Xiangcheng was raided by the Jingren Iron Cavalry and pulled out the outer city, if it wasn't for the next day, all the Iron Cavalry withdrew, he would definitely not survive.

"More than thirty rides." Wang said that he was worried about being ridiculed by the shogunate, so he quickly added: "They are all dragoons. ”

"Who is leading the troops?" Anchi continued to ask. The Chu army was organized on the basis of counties, and different counties and towns carried different banners.

"I don't know who led the troops, but I saw the word Jingjing written on the military flag." Wang Peng recalled. "Most of the horsemen are teenagers."

"Teenager?" Li Xin was surprised. A young man who can ride a dragon horse must be a noble child. This is in line with what Wang Peng said before, the news that the four-wheeled heavy vehicles of the brigade were traveling to Magu. When the Chu army learned that he was going to leave Fangcheng from Xianghe Guandong, he naturally knew that he was going to attack Shangcai. The Yingshi led by the prince of Chu rushed to the front of him and went to Caicheng.

"Tomorrow our army should march faster." Li Xin said immediately.

"General, now it is raining constantly, and the road is narrow after Xianghe Pass, it is too late to give up two houses a day, and then the disease is ......" The heart Sima Ji shook his head again and again. In order to cooperate with the front army two days of two houses, the Chinese army and the rear army that did not enter the Xianghe Pass also began to live two days a day, the Chinese army is fine, the rear army is heavy and bitter, many people can not camp until dark.

"The road to the south of Xiangheguan is narrow, and it is a rainy day, so it is indeed impossible to add disease." Anchi persuaded. "The Jing people have always marched very fast, our army is sick, and King Jing also entered Shangcai before me."

"King Jing is stationed on Cai ......," Li Xin touched his beard. In the battle of Chencheng that year, Xin Wu and Meng Wu had more soldiers than their own soldiers, and they still couldn't pull them out. Now that King Jing is stationed in Shang Cai, it seems that it is impossible for him to pull out Shang Cai.

"Shangcai is in the east of Rushui, our army will attack Shangcai, and Jing and Wei will defend it. If there is no warship, this battle will be very difficult. Sima Ji speculated, and he talked about the battle boat. However, our army can also go south into Chu to plunder, forcing King Jing to fight. ”

Li Xin is no stranger to Sima Ji's method, Meng Wu invaded Chu ten years ago, and the first to capture was Yiyi. Looking back now, the Battle of Qingshui seems to be yesterday, vividly.

"That's a good idea." Anche nodded. "The counties of Huaixi are all inhabited by Jing nobles, and Xi County is in the north of Huaishui, if I go straight into Xi County, King Jing will be saved."

"It's hard to have no magic medicine!" It's not to attack Cai, or to attack Xi County, but no matter which city is attacked, it is impossible to pull it out in a short time. The only time the Qin army used witch medicine to attack the city was when Wang Jian attacked Linzi, but unfortunately Wang Jian withdrew from Linzi that night and was chased by the Chu army for hundreds of miles. If it weren't for the Qi people's unwillingness to chase after him, Wang Jian would probably die that winter.

What is the situation of the witch medicine, Li Xin and the others don't know. Anyway, witch medicine is something that cannot be reached, and the generals never thought that one day they would be able to use witch medicine to pull out the city. After Li Xin sighed, Anqi said: "If there is a war boat, it can also be." If there is a war boat, the boat division can go straight into Rushui and Yingshui, why do you need to attack the city, the army should go straight to Shoucheng. ”

"But the boatmen are all on the water." Li Xindao. "If you don't return to Nanzheng Bashu, when will you be sent east? The King ......"

"Ahem......" Protector Zhao Hai coughed at this time. Although he also agreed with Li Xin's statement that Bashu did not have much value, the king was persuaded by the national captain to insist on recovering this Southern Zheng Bashu, and it was difficult for Kanto to get a war boat. He was worried that Li Xin would say something that he shouldn't say when he was angry, so he coughed.

"Alas!" The foundation of the Chu people is in front of him, but the axe and saw are in the hands of others, and he can't cut off the foundation of the Jing people, Li Xin couldn't help but sigh. After he sighed, he turned the topic back to Shang Cai, who was currently discussing, and said, "If you can't increase the illness, then the whole army must be divided into two days a day." The mountains here are vertical and horizontal, the forests are very dense, if the Jing people attack me, our army is in chaos. ”

An army disbanded the queue and marched through the forest to fight again, at least the Qin army could not do it, and it was difficult for the Zhao army to do it, maybe Wei Wushu could do it, but unfortunately thousands of Wei Wushu were said to have sunk in Tianchi Daze. Li Xin did not believe that the Chu army would be able to fight out of the dense forest, and he believed that all the Chu army could do was to attack and harass the squads, so that Shangcai City would have more time to strengthen the city defenses.

For the Qin army in front of him, there were more than 200,000 elite soldiers left last year, and 50,000 people were transferred from Guanzhong this year, although the number was still 200,000, but 30,000 or 40,000 of them were newly recruited soldiers. Li Xin was very worried that these 30,000 or 40,000 people would lose their queue and scatter in all directions as soon as they were attacked and disturbed. The plains can be caught back, and the mountains and dense forests are very easy to find once they are scattered.

"The pawns of the new land, just send more short soldiers." Sima Ji suggested. "Or strictly order, when the army is attacked and harassed by the Jing people, it must not be moved, and it has nothing to do with killing without permission."

"Yes." Li Xin agreed. Since the Chu army is only harassing, it will always disperse after the raid. Although some people will die, if it causes chaos in the whole army, many more people may die under the stampede.

"I should go to Xianyang again." King Jing personally stationed in Shangcai, and Li Xin, who thought that he would not be able to get any benefits, still wanted to solve the problem fundamentally, and not to compete with the Chu State for Bashu and Nanzheng, which had little value, but to concentrate his forces, especially the war boats, to attack the Wei State. As soon as the Wei State went, the gate to Chu was opened, and the boatmaster could go straight to the Huai River from Zhushui.

"General......" Protector Zhao Hai coughed again, and Sima Ji spoke out to persuade him. The general only wrote to the king yesterday, how can he write again today? ”

"If you don't connect the book, how will the king know the weight of the eastern land of Jingguo?" Li Xin didn't care about everyone and insisted on his own ideas. "If there is a war boat, I can destroy the Jing Kingdom with 200,000 people!"

"Twenty or two hundred thousand people can ......" everyone was startled. Sima Ji wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. King Jing died only 30,000 people, and these 30,000 people made his own 200,000 unable to pull out Shangcai, what if 200,000 people had a war boat?

"200,000 is enough!" Li Xin had an expression that none of you understand. "The Jingren war boat gallops through the waterway, I divide and gather, one army can reach three armies; If I am in charge of the Jingdi waterway, I gather and the Jing people are divided, and what if the Jing people are good at fighting? What if you have a witchcraft? It can be divided and annihilated.

For example, if I can control the waterway, the grain and straw in Shangcai City are limited, and there is no millet to eat, how can I defend it? Whoever gets the boat gets the waterway, and whoever gets the waterway gets the world, and I need to make the king know this. ”
