It takes time for the Qin army to get out of the camp, and from a distance, you can still see two trenches about one hundred and fifty steps apart, Lu Zhe should have sent troops to block the Qin army's formation, but when he saw those two trenches, he understood that it was not suitable to send troops to approach if he didn't want to attack the Qin army's camp.

The horns of the Qin army in the formation were constantly sounding, and the poles and banners were scattered everywhere under the wave of the Chinese flag, and there was always a crossbowman on guard during their formation, and there were obviously auxiliary soldiers who brought wooden planks and placed them on the trench for stepping on.

Waiting for the formation of the Qin army, the long horn sound of "Woo woo woo-" sounded again, and the 20,000 Qin soldiers finally stepped through the trench three hundred steps away from the camp with the same footsteps.

The Qin army auxiliaries saw their troops advancing slowly, and under the guidance of the officer, they lifted the planks again one by one and put them on the carriage next to them, and after a while, the trench was completely exposed.

Seeing that the Qin army went from leaving the camp to gathering, and from gathering to forming an army formation, the whole process took less than two quarters of an hour, and Lu Zhe's eyes narrowed into a slit.

How long did it take for Nanjun's troops to form a quadrangle that resembled a rectangular formation? It took half an hour, which was twice the time of the Qin army's formation!

In ancient times, whether it was an elite or not has always been judged from the time of formation, if it is according to the current habits, the Qin army, which formed a military formation in less than two quarters of an hour, is indeed an elite.

The distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer, and Shao Ai found that the army on the opposite side was a little different from before, and each soldier of the enemy army carried a red ribbon of cloth in the shape of a butterfly under his neck.

The banner in the Qin army is the kind of pennant with a wicker tail at the end, the flag is still black as the bottom supporting the white character "Qin", and every thousand people will have a banner, which is distributed in the rectangular military formation that slowly moves forward and flutters in the wind.

The banner of Lu Zhe's department has been replaced with a different style from that of the Qin army. It is a kind of military flag that is divided into several sections and tied to the flagpole rectangular downward without a long tail strip, the flag color is red on a red background with a black sword pattern, the whole long sword extends from above to the hem of the flag, there is a white circle at the hilt of the sword, and a black "Lu" character is written in the Lishu font in the circle.

Sima Xin, who was far above the nest car in the camp army, was naturally watching the enemy army, and when he saw Lu Zhejun showing a banner completely different from the Qin army, he actually had a strong sense of complexity in his heart.

Nan County, Hengshan County, and Cangwu County, these three counties have always been soldiers wearing the style of the Qin army under the leadership of Lu Zhe, and the banner in the army before Sima Xin did not go south was also the appearance of the Qin army.

Shao Ai once reported to Sima Xin that at the beginning of his southward journey, the banner of the word "Qin" was still planted on the fort of Nanjun. Even the uniforms of the defenders of Nanjun were no different from those of the Qin army, and they seemed to have complained that it was precisely because of this that it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.

Sima Xin heard Shao Ai's complaints, and once laughed in his heart for Lu Zhe's slow response, he actually did not issue an administrative order in Xianyang for at least seven months, obviously treating it as a rebel, and Lu Zhe also asked the soldiers to wear Qin army robes and hold Qin army flags.

What now? In the face of the epidemic in the camp, and then looking at the army led by Lu Zhe with no end in sight, wearing a red scarf and changing it to the word "Lu", the banner was black and pressurized, it was obvious that it was a temporary increase in the clothing of the soldiers and a change of flag, and for a moment he wondered if Lu Zhe had never thought of rebelling, and it was a misjudgment by the center?

Sima Xin, who was in the camp of the Chinese army, immediately started fighting, still thinking about it related to his own personality. In the battle of Julu in history, he was Zhang Han's left and right hand before the battle, and after being persuaded by Xiang Bo for a while, he actually persuaded Zhang Han to surrender, which shows that he has obvious shortcomings of vacillation and timidity.

A person's character will determine the fate of their life. If Sima Xin had been more decisive, when a large number of soldiers in the army were ill, whether he continued to advance south or withdraw, he would not be like this now.

Li Heng's mind is much simpler. The duty of him and Shao Ai was to arrive close to the Qin army and stop two miles according to Sima Xin's instructions. About two quarters of an hour after leaving the camp, the 20,000 Qin troops advanced for about five miles, and confronted the 30,000 troops led by Lu Zhe himself two miles apart. Neither side took a step forward for a short time.

Lu Zhe's 130,000 army had just arrived, and if he wanted to fight with the Qin army, it was also after the camp was set up, he arrived close and had been looking at the Qin army's camp, and found that the Qin army had divided the camp into three parts and connected them with a corridor to become a corner, and saw that there was at least one trench in front of the three military camps, and he immediately calculated in his heart.

"Lord, the Qin army has always been good at attacking, this time Sima Xin set up a tight defensive camp, it seems that General Zhou's guess is correct." Xiao He was also taken to fight with the army this time, and he was temporarily Lu Zhe's staff, trying his best to adapt to the role of the staff.

In fact, Lu Zhe really wanted to hand over the logistics of the rear to Xiao He, but unfortunately Xiao He had not made an inch, if he gave Xiao He a high position out of personal trust, then it was tantamount to making enemies for Xiao He. He brought Xiao He over in the hope that Xiao He could get some military merits, so that he could justifiably give him a position.

"Huh? Regardless of whether there is a major epidemic in the Qin army, since we are here, we naturally want to attack. Lu Zhe's eyes turned to the Qin army lined up two miles away, the two armies had been facing each other for more than half an hour two miles apart, the Qin army neither continued to advance nor retreat, he used a speculative tone: "It's far away, I can't see anything from the Qin soldiers, let Mei Li and Su Lie lead the army forward for a mile, and test the belligerence of the Qin army." ”

The herald rode on fast horses to inform him, and without a long delay, the front of the 30,000-strong army sounded rhythmic war drums, and 5,000 rattan armor soldiers, 2,000 spearmen, 2,000 crossbowmen, and 1,000 shield-wielding sword soldiers continued to advance with the rhythm of the war drums.

When the war drums sounded, the Qin troops in the formation tensed up, and they could tell from the number of flags on the opposite side that there were 10,000 enemy troops advancing.

Shao Ai Ce Ma approached Li Heng and said, "Walking in front is the class of soldiers called rattan armor soldiers in Nanjun, the armor on the body of this kind of soldier is made of rattan, and they are most afraid of fire attacks. ”

Li Heng knew that Shao Ai was the only partial general in the Central Plains Army who had fought with the defenders of Nanjun, and when he heard this, he immediately arranged for someone to get torches, and asked the crossbowmen to replace them with arrows wrapped in strips of cloth.

"There are many classes of troops in Nanjun, almost every class has a shield, and the archers will have a satisfactory effect on them within thirty paces, and the crossbowmen must be close to eighty paces to penetrate the shields in their hands." Shao Ai, as a deputy general, must be the main general Li Heng to pick up the omissions, "It seems that I have already thought about defending against our army's arrow array." The Lord will have to guard against it. ”

What Li Heng wants to know most now is whether Lu Zhejun has crossbowmen, and if so, what the number will be.

"Zhi fought with Lu Zhe's army for three days, and when attacking the fort, the defenders had strong crossbows, and then they fought two field battles with the enemy, whether it was the time when Dang Xuan led the army or the enemy attacked the camp, I didn't see any crossbowmen......" Shao Ai thought about it and didn't say it too much, and added: "Whether the enemy has crossbowmen this time is uncertain. ”

The types of troops in the Qin army are not complicated, the spearmen used to charge have always been placed at the forefront of the whole army's formation, and the spearmen have always been the most numerous in each army since the Warring States period, how can the Qin army be an exception? In addition to spearmen and spearmen, there are crossbowmen, and there has never been a special type of shield in the Qin army, and many times the spearmen are temporarily arranged to hold shields in the front line for defense, and the 20,000 Qin soldiers led by Li Heng and Shao Ai are no exception.

When Mei Li and Su Lie's troops approached Li Heng and Shao Ai's headquarters for about a mile, the Qin army's camp sounded "woo-woo-woo-" horns, and the handsome flags at the front of the camp were also shaking back and forth.

Sima Xin, who was standing on top of the nest car, was completely in accordance with the Qin army's combat drills, sending troops to rush forward and retreat in an orderly manner during the war, and then let the bed crossbowmen and crossbowmen in the camp enter a state of waiting for fire.

"The boss ordered us to lure the enemy!" Li Heng raised his hand as he spoke, without looking at Shao Ai, "You go to the right wing, and I will preside over the Chinese army." As he spoke, the raised arm had been waved down, and the flag bearer holding the main general's flag next to him naturally waved the flag to inform the various thousand teams.

10,000 of his own troops advanced, Lu Zhe heard the horn sound of "woo woo-" from the Qin army camp, and immediately led the remaining 20,000 soldiers to follow and advance, and at this time, the war drums of the front army led by Mei Li and Su Lie had stopped, and the 10,000 soldiers became a little loose when the drums stopped, and far away, you could vaguely hear an officer constantly shouting, "Steady!" "Column!" and other passwords, obviously restraining the soldiers.

Nanjun's troops were unable to put up too advanced military formations, which was the result of Lu Zhejun's lack of attention to military formations, and the reason for this was not that the army training was aimed at the Baiyue people at the beginning, and now it seems that if Lu Zhe can defeat the Qin army and get a chance to breathe, he will definitely strengthen the training of the military formation in the future.

"Measure your hands on both sides, shoot arrows!" Mei Hong's order was faithfully executed, and the arrows painted red were shot out separately with a sound of breaking through the air.

The crossbow arrow shot at a maximum distance of about two hundred and eighty-five paces, and the bow arrow reached a maximum distance of one hundred and seventy steps.

"Southwest Wind ......" Mei Kai looked at the arrows nailed into the dirt in front of him, and thought in his heart: "The enemy is in the upper hand, and the crossbow arrows can increase the distance by about twenty paces depending on the wind. The enemy forces are in a good position! ”

Li Heng naturally saw the arrows shot by the enemy army, and he now knew that the enemy army must have crossbow arrows.

Shao Ai on the right flank also noticed this situation, and he made the same move as Li Heng, calling out to some of the spearmen to hurry forward with their shields and prepare to defend against the enemy's arrows.

When the 20,000 Qin troops advanced to about 300 paces of the 10,000 troops led by Mei Kai and Su Lie, several corrected arrows were also shot out of the Qin army's formation, which were carried by the wind and flew more than ten paces, and the landing point was exactly the interval between the vine armor soldiers and the crossbowmen, and one end was inserted into the earth.

After the mutual calibration was completed, the horns of different rhythms were heard from the formations of both sides, and the flag bearers of the two armies were staring at the banner of the leader, and the battle that decided the fate of hundreds of thousands of people present on both sides was about to break out!
