There are thousands of people in the mountains and wilderness, and more than 100 ships walking on the rivers and sails are like forests, how can it be quiet?

Xiang Liang likes intrigue but is also a general, he is about to attack Huan Chu in Lujiang County, it is impossible not to lay an eyeliner, so Ji Bu's 50,000 troops along the Han River will definitely be discovered and reported by the eyeliner.

Since Lü Zhe had already sent troops to rescue Lujiang Huan Chu, then it must be that the threat of the Qin army going south had been lifted, Xiang Liang could not use the power of his troops to make Huan Chu succumb and did not want to return in vain, he only had the army sent by Lü Zhe to attack Huan Chu's camp far from the front line of Wuyang.

The first line of Wuyang is not a plain area, but the mountains here are not high, and the number of soldiers of the two armies combined is more than 200,000, and the battlefield where so many people are about to start fighting is definitely not small.

There will not be only one battlefield in a war, in fact, every war will affect a range of at least 20 miles, after all, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people cannot be squeezed into a few miles to fight.

As the defender, Huan Chu occupied several high grounds, and his soldiers left 50,000 troops as the Chinese army to directly block the way of Xiang Liang's army, and several high ground troops were left to block or serve as countermeasures, the intention was to protect the flanks and prevent Xiang Liang's troops from taking a detour back road, as for how many people would be arranged to defend it depends on the terrain.

Xiang Liang's 150,000 army is not stationed in the same military camp, for the general to be on the battlefield will not talk about all the troops concentrated together, choosing the terrain to set up three military camps to become the most basic tactic of the commander, some generals with strong command ability will not even set up three camps, but will set up the camp into a large array.

Under Xiang Liang's arrangement, the 150,000 Chu army was used as four battalions, two of which were facing the main force of Huan Chu in front, and the other two were the left and right wings of the front, forming a vertical "concave".

150,000 Chu soldiers shouted in unison, and the momentum was huge on the battlefield. As soon as the Chu soldiers in khaki wore yellow, they did not have a whole formation at all as soon as they left the barracks, and they trotted to the sound of the loud war drums to approach the Huan Chu camp, which was a little chaotic because of the suddenness of the incident.

The negotiations between the commanders of the two armies have not yet reached a result, Huan Chu did not expect Xiang Liang to suddenly launch an attack, although the army has already had a defensive posture, but when the matter comes, it will inevitably be panicked, waiting for Huan Chu to suppress the troops, and the Chu army is already approaching the camp.

The armament of the army has one thing in common, they may be very numerous, and if there is a qualified commander, there will be a basic supervisor, but the weapons will definitely not be able to be filled in a short time.

In both modern and ancient times, it is not easy to make a bow, and the time spent on the process of selecting materials and increasing toughness depends on what kind of bow is made. The bow is weighty. For example, bows such as one-stone, two-stone, and three-stone bows will increase with each additional point of craftsmanship and time.

With Lu Zhe's support, the number of archers in the Huan Chu army was only 3,000, and this group of people ran to the wooden fence of the camp in the order, and the grassroots officers kept shouting for the archers to prepare.

There are only about a thousand archers holding the Qin army's standard one-stone bow, and the guys in the hands of the remaining two thousand people are not good enough to calculate how much tension there is, they look at the dense earthy yellow soldiers howling and running closer, and they don't know why no one ordered the school shooting?

Speaking of which, Huan Chu's subordinates are basically soldiers recruited after the war. Although they have a basic supervision, whether the officers are qualified or not is really a bit unqualified, how can they be like Qin Jun...... There were a large number of qualified officers in Lü Zhe's army to give orders.

The Chu soldiers who launched the attack did not queue up when they walked and ran, don't forget that except for the 8,000 soldiers, who had been trained for a long time, the rest were collected or recruited after the army was raised. They just rushed to shout and charge.

How long has Xiang Liang been in the army? Strictly speaking, it is only less than three months, and the training of military formations is not so simple, it takes at least half a year for an army to understand how to deploy a formation, and it is impossible for an army to become a formation when it is attacking for less than a year or two.

After a surprise attack by enemy troops. Huan Chu immediately got into the simple nest car, and at a glance, he saw that the east direction was full of earthy yellow figures, and it seemed that there were at least 30,000. There are also Chu soldiers approaching on the left and right flanks. He even saw the figure of cavalry, but there were only a few.

"30,000 in front, 10,000 on the left and right wings...... Huan Chu's face was very bad, "There is no envoy, no war, Xiang Liang is really insidious, what kind of nobleman to talk about!" Not a son of man! ”

It is said that the negotiations will start a war before they break down, and one of them is a self-reliant armed leader and the other is a powerful minister of a country, so naturally there is no need to "declare war", that is, the so-called declaration of war, it can only be "war without complaining".

So the scolding looks like a rage? No, no, no! Although it is not the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period now, only those forces that do not enter the stream will choose to "fight without complaining", and those who want to have a face and status have always followed the ancient rites, even if they say it ugly, they will send people or write a declaration to tell the other party that the war has begun. There is another situation, for example, the Qin State sent troops south to attack Lü Zhe, which was a kind of top-to-bottom counterinsurgency war, and this kind of war did not require any etiquette.

So? Huan Chu had a reason to be angry, he felt that Xiang Liang was treating him as a traitor and wanted to kill him, not as two different forces to start a war. However, although he was a minister of the old Chu before, the Chu State died early, and the current Chu State is the Chu State of the Xiang Clan, which is not the real Great Chu, and he does not think that Xiang Liang is qualified to start a counterinsurgency war against him, which is why he is so aggrieved and angry.

"The whole army can't hold out, and then order the archers to keep firing arrows at the enemy!" Huan Chu yelled. He knew that some of the reinforcements supported by Lu Zhe had arrived in Fanyang, and Xiang Liang suddenly launched an attack, and he was in a hurry to jump over the wall, as long as they could hold on and wait for the reinforcements to arrive, Xiang Liang should withdraw if he didn't want to lose his strength.

Compared with the Qin army, the camp built by the Lujiang army was very simple, and the periphery of the entire camp did not form a real blocking fortification, and the placement of the horses and wooden fences was really just a placement, and the sparse and loose did not play the role of an obstacle.

At the beginning, Lu Zhe sent Yi Kan, Xu Zhi and others to attack Hengshan County, and what they encountered was a group of chaotic troops who could not form a military formation or even a military camp.

Now Huan Chu and Xiang Liang are facing each other, if the troops under their command are not considered the core combat strength, the rest of the troops are actually similar to the situation in the battle on the Jiangling Plain when Lu Zhe raised his troops. Since it is impossible to set up any military formation, the fight is nothing more than a crowd of people rushing forward, and as for the detour and interspersing after the start of the battle, it is basically impossible to lack sufficiently qualified officers.

The Chu soldiers approached the Huan Chu camp for about two hundred steps, first a few loose arrows were shot out, and then like a cascading effect, the archers began to fire arrows without receiving any military orders.

The range of a stone bow is only about 120 steps, and only a three-stone bow can shoot 200 steps, but a stone is about 30.75 kilograms of modern times, and it is actually good for a soldier to open a stone bow and shoot arrows, and a three-stone bow is not for everyone to use.

The result? The arrows shot by the archers under Huan Chu didn't touch a single hair of the Chu soldiers at all, and all of them fell to the ground with a "boom".

The Chu army that was charging was taken aback when the Huan Chu army released the arrows, after all, there were more than 3,000 arrows that cost people's lives, although they were not covered by the sky and the sun, but they were also densely packed, but those arrows fell to the ground at least seventy steps away from them, which made them relieved and bolder.

As soon as a person's courage becomes extremely brave, no one among the Chu soldiers gave orders, but they immediately quickened the pace of their feet, and at this time they were about one hundred and fifty steps away from the camp set up by Huan Chu, which was exactly the best distance to accelerate during the charge.

The mighty shouts of killing roared out from the mouths of the Chu soldiers who were speeding up, and there were only about half of them holding weapons such as spears, spears, and swords, and the rest of the people were actually mostly wooden forks, hoes, sticks and the like in their hands, but what they were holding in their hands now didn't seem to matter so much, what they were thinking about was an enemy who couldn't even shoot a bow and arrow, and their heads were full of thoughts of rushing to kill.

"Bastard! Bastard! Who told you to release your arrows! ”

Junior officers such as the commander of the tun kept jumping to restrain the archers, and some spearmen, spearmen, or melee soldiers with strange weapons in the back were shouting and lining up in a straight line.

The Chu army was already close to the range of bows and arrows, and at this time, no one in Huan Chu's archers shot arrows, and the officers of this class who were in a hurry slapped the people around them with their scabbards and shouted, "Release the arrow!" Shoot the arrows! "Finally started again.

Huan Chu, who was standing on top of the nest car, naturally saw the unbearable bow and arrow troops of his side, but he did not feel angry, the bow and arrow troops in the army were originally a special type of troops, although these archers had practiced a few times, but if they wanted to form an arrow formation and learn to shoot neatly, diffuse, and throw, it was not something that could be done with a few drills at all.

Individual archers who shoot arrows with bows open, they may be too nervous, and there are many dumbfounded things such as pulling the bow, cutting off the fingers by the bowstring, and the arrow resting on the string but not shooting out.

There is no salvo and stage-style arrow array, and the arrows shot out can still kill those Chu soldiers who have no armor, but they cannot achieve targeted division and coverage similar to the Qin army and Lu Zhejun, so of course it is impossible to suppress the charge of the Chu army.

"Order the archers to stand back, and the rest of the soldiers to move forward and hold the fence!" Huan Chu gave the most correct order, but it was really unclear whether the troops could effectively carry it out. (To be continued......)
