When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 628: Head coach Zhang Ji is warming up? ? ?
Huaiyuan battlefield
The Qin army in black military uniforms and the Chu army in yellow military uniforms arrived in Huaiyuan at 6:00 noon. Several archers from each army fired an arrow at the other side's position.

However, the arrows did not shoot into each other's array, but gradually became weak, and finally fell straight down and pierced the ground.

This is called a stone's throw.

The Qin and Chu armies lined up in Huaiyuan. The Qin army sent 100,000 troops, leaving 20,000 troops to defend Chen County, while the Chu army sent 200,000 troops, still maintaining a one-to-two numerical ratio.

Not only the number of people, among the 200,000 Chu troops, 40,000 are from the Tenglong Legion, 30,000 are from the Thunder Leopard Legion, and 20,000 are from the Shadow Tiger Legion. Nearly half of them are world-famous Chu troops. This is also Xiang Yan. The confidence to dare to fight Zhang Ji.

Moreover, of the remaining 110,000 Chu troops, 60,000 of them came from the army under the direct control of the Chu temple. They were not private soldiers of the nobles, and their fighting will and quality were not necessarily inferior to those of Qin's black armored army.

But since Zhang Ji agreed to the battle, in addition to the Qin army being good at battle formations, he also had other things to rely on.

For example...the location is great!
Huaiyuan is indeed a plain, but the overall terrain is flat, but the terrain is higher in the northwest and lower in the southeast.

Although the height difference between the terrain is not big, the land under the Qin army's feet is higher than that of the Chu army. The range of bows and arrows will be farther than that of the Chu army, and the Chu army's attack will also consume more physical energy.

As a Chu native, and this place was the capital of the Chu Kingdom in the past, Xiang Yan naturally understood Zhang Ji's purpose of setting the battlefield in Huaiyuan, but he didn't mind letting Zhang Ji take advantage of the location, or he deliberately gave up the location to Huaiyuan. Zhangji.

Xiang Yan is not willing to fight a tough battle, and is confident that he can win this battle. No matter how bad it is, it will be a small victory. As long as Zhang Ji can accept the challenge, it doesn't matter if he gives up the favorable location.

However, when Xiang Yan stood under the Chu army's banner and looked at the Qin army's position again, he was dazzled by a dazzling bright light and subconsciously raised his hands to cover his eyes.

After seeing the Qin army's position clearly, Xiang Yan's heart trembled suddenly.

It wasn't the ordnance and mechanisms on the Qin army's position that made Xiang Yan feel palpitated, but Xiang Yan realized why Zhang Ji chose to have the battle in the afternoon.

Normally, battle appointments are made after eating the morning meal. After all, most armies have a two-meal system. Only the Qin army now implements a three-meal system. Even sentries on duty at night or other soldiers with tasks at night have one meal. night snack.

Xiang Yan originally thought that Zhang Ji's purpose was just to use the full Qin army to take advantage of the Chu army who had no habit of eating lunch. He even gave the Chu army extra food at noon, which actually boosted the morale of the army and even mocked Zhang in private. Small means such as the machine cannot be put on the table.

But he didn't expect Zhang Ji to have other purposes.

"The sun is in the northwest, the Qin army is in the northwest, and it is high... What a good plan."

Xiang Yan had already imagined how difficult it would be for the Chu army to attack the Qin army's position in the dazzling sunlight. He looked at the "Japanese" on the side with an unhappy expression and asked, "Zhou Zhang, what time is it now?"

"Wei Shi." As a sun-spotter in the army and a man familiar with military affairs, Zhou Zhang still didn't understand what Xiang Yan meant. "The direction of the sun will change to the south after an hour."

Xiang Yan nodded without saying a word, but Zhou Zhang understood that Xiang Yan was already dissatisfied with him.

He was once a retainer of Lord Chun Shen. After Lord Chun Shen's death, he was dissatisfied with the murder of his former colleague Li Yuan, so he defected to Xiang Yan and served as a general and Japanese leader in the army.

At the same time, as a native of Chen County and a Japanese soldier in the army, Zhou Zhang should have thought of the Qin army's use of the sun's position, but Zhou Zhang did not think of it. Logically speaking, he was negligent in his duties.

But Zhou Zhang also felt a little aggrieved. Since ancient times, battles have been scheduled in the early morning. How could anyone use the position of the sun to fight? Naturally, he did not expect this.

Just like before Sun Bin's plan to reduce the stove, who would have thought that the reduction of the stove might not be due to desertion but to lure the enemy?

Or perhaps everyone understands the principles of Tian Ji’s horse racing, but who would apply it to horse racing or the battlefield?

After both sides had completed their formation, Zhang Ji and Xiang Yan, as commanders, rode their horses to the center of the battlefield, followed the procedure to confirm that each other had completed their formation, and then exchanged a few words. When the commanders of the two armies return to their respective military formations, the battle can begin.

"Luo Nanjun, your cleverness will never come to the fore."

After confirming that the Chu army was in formation, Zhang Ji, who was just about to turn his horse around and prepare to go back, heard Xiang Yan's unreasonable words and was a little confused. He frowned and looked at Xiang Yan.

"I'm curious, on this plain, with the help of the insignificant time and location, how can you have the confidence to defeat the Chu army that is more than twice the Qin army's number in a battle?"

"With sheer strength."

After Zhang Ji finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and returned to the military formation, not intending to give Xiang Yan any time to continue asking questions.

Woo——! Woo——! Woo——!
As the sound of two horns with slightly different pitches reached the ears of the 300,000 soldiers of the two armies at the same time, the rumbling drums that followed were like a spark thrown into a powder keg, detonating the fighting spirit of both sides.

Different from the sparse fighting spirit of the noble private soldiers in the past, the fighting spirit of this Chu army was very strong. In addition, they enjoyed an extra meal before the battle, so they were naturally full of energy. Everyone rushed to the Qin army's position.

On the contrary, the Qin army's position was much quieter. The footsteps and spears raised were almost uniform, as if they were the actions of one person.

"Wind——! Wind——! Wind——!"

The Qin Army also had a fanatical fighting spirit in their eyes, which was the desire for military glory, but the Qin Army always maintained an orderly formation, one military formation after another orderly arranged into one larger military formation after another.

Xiang Yan's face became solemn at a speed visible to the naked eye. As both were famous generals in the world, he could naturally see that although they were all large armies with great fighting spirit, if two words were used to describe the momentum displayed by the Chu army, then It must be exciting.

But when it comes to describing the Qin Army, Xiang Yan believes that only the word "iron-blooded" can be used.

But, this slogan?

"Wind? There is also the Qin army's formation. Are they going to take the initiative to attack?"

Xiang Yan became more and more puzzled. With a one to two troop ratio, and in terms of the quality of the soldiers, this Chu army was not much different from the Qin army. They were just more familiar with battle formations and had better cooperation. How could they ignore this huge force? The military disadvantage?

The Qin army still maintained an orderly formation when advancing, and there was no scene of squabbling like the Chu army did.

In the Qin army, there are almost no scenes where soldiers rush out single-handedly to behead the enemy and come back in order to behead the enemy and gain military merit. Those are all fictional plots.

This kind of behavior is strictly prohibited in the military discipline of the Qin Army. Generally, the troops form a small formation, and the five people rescue and cooperate with each other. If someone destroys the formation privately, even if he has made a great contribution, he will be punished with a light whip. , in severe cases beheading, it would also bring disaster to fellow middle- and lower-level officers such as Wu Paoze, Shi Chang, and General of Hundreds.

Xiang Yan is no stranger to this.

But...did the Qin army's vanguard rush too fast?

The left and right flanks of the vanguard army were exposed to the Chu army's eyes, and they were far away from the central army. Is this someone openly violating military law?

Wait, why do the Pioneer flags say "Luonan Jun" and "Zhang"?
Could it be that... Zhang Ji, the Qin army's commander-in-chief, was the vanguard of the army? !
