The day after Xiong Jing recovered from his injuries and returned to Kaifeng from Shouying, there was an additional field in the martial arts field behind the curtain that was forty-eight zhang long and twenty zhang wide. Ten thick white lines were drawn with mirage every four zhang on the field, and there were parallel short lines between the white lines, and these short lines were spaced four feet apart. There are two gates at both ends of the field, standing alone in the middle of the field.

After the field was drawn, Xiong Jing asked the craftsman to make an oval ball according to the weight of the projectile, and then summoned the knights and guards to come. Eleven men were required on each side, two captains, chiefs, or other officers as commanders and lieutenants, two grenadiers, two horseless knights to attack, and five foot soldiers to defend. The rules are very simple, whoever holds the ball must move forward with the ball, and the landing shall prevail. Four times without four advances, the ball must be handed to the opponent or kicked back to the opponent.

Winning is also very simple, and whoever wins will win if the team scores more points within four quarters of an hour. Any one of the pawns, grenadiers, and knights who rushes into the opponent's camp with the ball is worth six points; Kick the ball into the opponent's goal with your foot and you can score three points. There is also a reward after each attack on the opponent's camp: kick the ball into the wick to get a point; Attack the camp again, and you can get two points.

According to Xiong Jing's explanation, this is because he saw that the soldiers of Yingshi were becoming more and more slack, and the games of overdistance and stone throwing in the army were not interesting, so he 'invented' this kind of game called broken camp by the soldiers and soldiers of Chu. The gameplay of breaking the camp is very simple, Xiong Jing finished talking about the rules and the guards played, and the two teams of soldiers on the martial arts field were dressed in huge armor and iron clamour, which was no different from a battle.

On the second and third days, ......, and in less than a few days, twelve divisions were playing with the broken battalion. The soldiers are obsessed with it, and the division and brigade rate are also obsessed with it - where is this game, this is obviously a broken formation. The opponent must advance four feet with the ball, and the own team must prevent the opponent from advancing four feet with the ball; The enemy prevents their pawns, grenadiers, or knights from rushing into the camp with the ball, while your team tries to do everything they can to rush into the camp.

Seeing that the whole army was familiar with this game, the shogunate soon announced that each pawn would form a team, and the winner would advance by lot, until the strongest pawn in the whole army was decided. Twelve divisions, plus the guards of a total of 200 soldiers, could have been compared in half a month, and the Wu division involved the extra game, and the game has continued to this day.

The shogunate negotiated the end of Xiong Jing's departure from the shogunate to the martial arts, which was a thirty-second final, and one of the eight guards played against one of the divisions. The small martial arts arena was crowded with soldiers watching the game, and they were standing, sitting, or squatting, surrounding the martial arts arena. When Xiong Jing arrived, the crowd squeezed a gap in the stadium and he was able to enter the inner circle of the court. Xiong Jing, who entered the stadium, looked around and felt that it was time to build a stadium.

Without the stubbornness of the shogunate's opposition, Xiong Jing's gaze at the court seemed to be a different person, and he smiled. Like the soldiers, he was a little slack after nearly a year of waiting, and he often lost sleep because of gains and losses when he was in battle, and watching the game almost became his only relief. Unlike him, Zhuang Wudi, who came with him, was still thinking about the plan to lure the Qin people into the Great Liang, and he was unwilling to give up, and he kept thinking about how to persuade Xiong Jing to agree to this plan.

"Woohoo——! Beauty! Beauty ......" the soldiers around the martial arts field shouted wildly. Before the game began, the female advocates belonging to Wang Ting and Xiang Hou wore out of the crowd, short skirts and exposed blouses could not cover the tender flesh of the white flowers on their bodies, and they hooked the eyes of countless soldiers before they danced - Originally, only Yingshi had this practice, and before the game, he sent servants to make music and female prostitutes to dance on the field to stimulate the morale of the team.

Breaking the camp is a game for soldiers, and dance music is a woman's performance, and the perfect combination of the two makes the onlookers fascinated, and Xiong Jing, who is immersed in it, also laughs. He actually doesn't like and is not familiar with this sport, he is more familiar with and likes football and basketball, but after thinking about it, there is no other sport suitable for the Chu soldiers except for breaking the formation.

Zhuang Wudi wanted to persuade Xiong Jing a few more words before kick-off, but was interrupted by the soldier's crazy shout, and he had to swallow the words that came to his mouth. After the end of the music and dance, he sneered: "In the play of breaking the camp, our army will not slack off." ”

Xiong Jing knew that Zhuang Wudi followed him to persuade him to agree to that plan, and when he talked about the morale of the soldiers instead of talking about that strategy, he couldn't help but glance at him. Fighting courage instead of wits is his rhetoric, and the other meaning of this sentence is that the Jin people cannot be trusted.

Zhibisi is almost all Jin people, most of the Hou spies are Jin people, and almost all of the people in Daliang City are Jin people. It can't be said that the Jin people don't have loyal and brave people, and the Jin people have many loyal and brave people, but in this case, Xiong Jing is not ready to test the loyal ministers of the Jin people. It's like when the monsoon turns and the northeast monsoon blows, the boat doesn't sail to Xinying.

The battle of Xiangcheng relied on the strategy of the Jin Hou Spy, and the Qin army was defeated, but at that time, even the King of Wei, who did not have many soldiers in his hands, sent soldiers to follow the Chu army to attack Guanzhong, so as to gain more benefits in the next Qin land. In this situation, it is completely unfeasible to carry out a counter-plot, and there is a great possibility that the Chu army will be sold to the Qin people by the Jin people.

"Our sergeants are not slacking off, and this battle will be won. Therefore, "the meaning in the horizontal gaze was complicated, and before Zhuang Wudi could fully comprehend his meaning, Xiong Jing opened his mouth." "You don't need to add any more snakes."

"I don't think so." Zhuang Wudi hurriedly said, "Although there is no news from the Qin State, the Qin army will also gather in the Sand Sea. If you can't lure the Qin army into the city, there will be many Qin soldiers. If the Qin people pull out the girder and defend it, there will be few soldiers who will fight with me. ”

"Many?" Xiong Jing shook his head with a scornful smile. "The Qin people can fight 700,000 soldiers, at most more than 800,000, less than 900,000. After Qiangdi Dou Yu got the news of the pheasant, he led the army to attack Guanzhong, how much can the Qin people gather troops? Bai Lin's 100,000 people will guard the pass, and then summon soldiers again? ”

There has been no news of the transfer of the Qin army, but with the previous news, Xiong Jing can roughly judge that the size of the Qin army is around 800,000, including 100,000 Qi soldiers. This is not judged according to the Ding Kou of the Qin State, if it is based on the Ding Kou, then it is possible for the Qin army to be one million, two million, and he is judged according to the size of the officer corps of the Qin army.

The Qin army prisoners in the First Battle of Weinan were not killed, and the officers were not killed. Subtracting the losses of these people in the Battle of Daze, the remaining officers who cut off their left toes just make up for the losses in the Battle of Shashui, and the size of the Qin army should be more than 800,000.

More than 800,000 Qin troops had to defend Yan, Zhao, and Nanyang, as well as Douyu Pheasant, which could attack Guanzhong from Longyou at any time, and also contain the divisions of Chu, Xiong Jing's judgment was that Wang Qian's troops were at most 700,000.

Xiong Jing's judgment Zhuang Wudi also agreed, and he hurriedly said before the kick-off: "What Da Ao said is true, but if the Qi people, the Xiou tribes, and the Ba people have been frozen before they arrive, what if our army is?" ”

"Not yet?" Xiong Jing rolled his eyes. At this time, the guessing on the court ended, and Xiang Shi took the lead in kicking off. The two teams faced each other on the middle line of the court, as soon as the whistle sounded, the ball passed to the hands of Xiang Shi's pawn, and the foot soldiers lined up in a line to resist the opponent's pawns.

Each team has two grenadiers, and he's not so much a grenadier as he's a receiver. Xiang Shi, the receiver wearing an eighteen-kilogram armor, could still leap high, pluck the accurate ball from a higher position from the head of the enemy who was blocking him, and then quickly rushed to the camp of the guards. The audience instantly boiled, and Xiong Jing was also taken aback by running so fast in a huge armor. The guards couldn't catch up with him, and he avoided both of his pounces, allowing him to rush into the camp with the ball in his arms.

"Broken camp! Break the camp! Break the camp ......" The onlookers shouted wildly again, and when they saw that the grenadiers had really rushed into the camp of the guards, they were running and jumping and shouting and cheering.

"Da Ao?" Xiong Jing also stood up, Zhuang Wudi was worried that he had forgotten what he was talking about, and took advantage of the interval between kick-offs to remind him.

"No." Xiong Jing, who sat down, insisted on his point of view. "Don't be outwit at this time."

"If you don't fight your wit, what if you have few soldiers?" Zhuang asked without ground.

"At this time, the battle of wits will definitely be defeated." The kick-off, Xiang Shi kicked a big kick, the ball entered the gate, and it was the turn of the guard to hold the ball and move forward.

"What about Shang Ruosheng?" Zhuang Wudi does not give up.

"Shang Ruyi blessed the battle of wisdom can win, and the fight of courage can also win. In that case, why wit? Xiong Jing looked at Zhuang Wudi very seriously. As a strategist, he often wins in wisdom, but as a general, he knows when to use wisdom and when to use bravery. I am not in a position, this battle is not a battle of wit, and it is not feasible. ”

Zhuang Wudi also wanted to persuade Xiong Jing to stop him again, "When the shogunate deploys the formation, it can't rely on Zhao Wei's army. ”

"Da Ao means ......" Xiong Jing not only didn't want to lure the enemy, but even Wei Zhao's army didn't have hope, Zhuang Wudi finally understood what he meant, he no longer believed in the Jin people.

"Unintentionally." Xiong replied hastily. There was a shout on the pitch, and the guards advanced with the ball, but the running ball-carrying knight didn't take a few steps before he was neatly pounced. The soldiers on both sides who couldn't stop the forward rush pounced one by one, and finally all piled up together. Xiong Jing stopped talking, he was immersed in the wonderful game, and when the game was suspended after a quarter of an hour, and the prostitute came out to play and dance again, Zhuang Wudi disappeared.

When the Qifeng martial arts field was boiling, the Didaoyi two thousand miles away was full of wind and snow. The county seat of Longxi County has not been recovered by the Qin army since it fell into the hands of the Chu army. The Chu army hoped to fight a defensive battle with the Qin people, but more and more reports said that the Qin army did not advance westward to Fengdao (present-day Wushan County) due to the wind and snow, and seemed to want to regain Didao again next spring.

The road is four hundred miles apart, and although the two places are connected by Weishui, Dou Yu Pheasant still feels that something is wrong. According to the Qiang people, in previous years, the freezing of Weishui was a matter of the next month, why did the Qin army stagnate last month? The Qin who led the army will be Bai Lin, the descendant of Bai Qi.
