The top 58 dragged their exhausted bodies around day and night, and walked slowly into the military

The scorching sunlight hangs on the high altitude and exudes a scorching atmosphere. It is rare for the Yanling Chu army, who has been marching for a day and night, to barely maintain a crooked formation in such a hot weather. However, Xiong Bing, who was sitting on the yellow horse, still urged the soldiers behind him to speed up the march, because it is not too far away from Pingdingpo. Xiong Bing, who has not closed his eyes for a day and night, was eager to hurry to arrive at Pingdingpo and set up a camp to have a good sleep.

A general of the Chu army wiped the sweat from the battle helmet with his sleeves, and approached Xiong Bing with a respectful expression and said: "General Xiong, the soldiers have been marching for a day and night. They went out and ate some dry food and drank some water, and they didn't even have enough rest for an hour. The soldiers were already extremely tired. In case of any suggestion, they might as well set up camp here for half a day.

First, we can restore the strength of the soldiers and allow them to accumulate some combat power. Second, we can avoid the scorching sun, and it will be more comfortable to continue marching after the weather turns cold in the evening. Anyway, there is not much distance from the flat slope. As long as we send a little more scouts to disperse, the Qin army will not want to go around us quietly."

Xiong Bing glared with his eyes round and shouted loudly: "Since we know that this place is not far from Pingding Slope, why can't we rush there and rest in one go? You must know that there must be no mistake this time, and we must not let the Qin army soldiers go from Yanling to Pingyu!

And you have the face to rely on scouts. Tens of thousands of Qin troops have entered Yanling for many days. In the end, if a group of merchants had discovered them, would the scouts you said be ready to tell me after they walked around Pingyu? Humph! I will order the whole army to speed up and we must arrive at Pingdingpo before noon today!!"

"Last, the last general shall receive the order." The general Chu replied with a bitter voice, turned his horse's head dejectedly and marched backwards.

After Xiong Bing's general order was conveyed by the Chu general, a commotion came from the queue, but probably because he felt that the flat top slope was indeed far away. So after a moment of commotion, the Chu soldiers gradually recovered their calmness, gritted their teeth and squeezed out the last bit of strength from their bodies to move their heavy legs and accelerated to the flat top slope.

Xiong Bing saw all this. Xiong Bing was very frightened when the commotion broke out. Just as he was about to change his military orders to let the angry soldiers rest for a while, the commotion gradually faded away. So Xiong Bing became proud again: "This is how these wastes can be used for discipline. I was blamed for being too kind before. It seems that I should practice more of these wastes in the future."

Fortunately, when Xiong Bing said these words, only his confidant guards were around. If the Chu soldiers who were gritting their teeth and marched hard, they would have been angry that would have endured them.

......................................................................................Separation line...............

"Finally arrived!"

"That's great, I can finally take a rest."

When the Chu soldiers were all ecstatic when they saw the stone tablet with the words "Pingding Slope" erected.

But just as these Chu soldiers were about to rest for a while, Xiong Bing's personal guards once again heard Xiong Bing's military order: "All up! Set up camp immediately!!"

"Damn it! Xiong Bing, a guy who was killed by thousands of swords, can't let us breathe a sigh of relief?" A strong soldier with dark skin pinched the long halberd held in his right hand, cursing in a low voice with an angry look in his eyes.

Hearing the curse of the strong soldier, a slightly thin Chu soldier next to him wiped the sweat from his face with his already tid sleeves, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xiong Bing, a guy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, feels comfortable riding on a horse, but he doesn't care about the feelings of us soldiers who march with both feet! If he is asked to walk with us with both feet, he will know what we infantry feel after the marching day and night."

"That's right! If Xiong Bing also came to try the taste of marching day and night with his legs, he would not be so arrogant." The soldiers around him nodded, obviously agreeing with the words of the thin sergeant just now.

All the Chu soldiers around him were indignant. An old man who seemed to be older last year sighed and said, "Oh, forget it. They have already arrived here. You can rest after a little harder. Why bother to say those useless words?"

"Old Sun is not talking about you, it is because some soldiers like you have been patient with Xiong Bing that Xiong Bing is so arrogant. If we unite, even Xiong Bing must take care of us." The strong Chu army soldier shouted to the old soldier with anger.

Lao Sun snorted coldly: "Do you think that just gathering people to cause trouble can make Xiong Bing restrain himself? Humph! I'm just talking about dreams! Let me tell you boy, if you didn't have to ask me to take care of you before your father died, I, Lao Sun, would never say a word of nonsense when you go to death!!"

"Old Sun, you!!" The strong Chu army soldier was obviously unable to get out of the way.

"Do you know what the consequences of gathering people to make trouble? It's equivalent to rebellion! How many people do you know? How many people can you mess with? How many people can you make trouble with you? You know how many people can be summoned by a bastard like Xiong Bing? Humph! You are all there all day thinking about it, I think you will suffer a big loss one day!!" Old Sun scolded the strong Chu soldiers, blushed for a long time and couldn't say a word.

Amid the chaotic discussion, the Chu soldiers dragged their extremely tired bodies and slowly began to build a camp for accommodation on the spot. However, Xiong Bing took his personal guards to sit in a cool place and pointed at the soldiers busy under the scorching sun. He seemed to Xiong Bing was not satisfied with the speed of the more than 100,000 Chu soldiers building camps.

"You go and tell the waste camp walls to stop worrying for the time being. Let the camp tent be set up for me soon. By the way, let the fire-headed troops quickly cook my lunch for me. Since yesterday, they have been gnawing the dry food that is difficult to swallow. If they weren't afraid of the Qin army slipping away and rushing to the road, even if they starve to death, I wouldn't have gnawed the broken dry food that almost made me vomit! By the way, get some honey water to stop me from quenching my thirst. This ghost weather had rained a few days ago, but now it can't even see the clouds. It's so hot." Xiong Bing took off the thick bronze armor on his body, inciting his thick palm to barely create a little insignificant breeze for a trace of precious coolness.

Although when building camps, they usually build the walls of the camp to resist the enemy, who would not want to have a cooler area earlier under the baking of this hot summer? Xiong Bing, the guy, could give up the construction of the camp walls and transfer manpower to the construction of the camp tents. The Chu army soldiers who had always complained to Xiong Bing immediately cheered and started to support the tents they brought one by one. With the smell of food coming from the Fire Head Army, the Chu army soldiers rarely said a few good words for Xiong Bing in their hearts.

"It's so lively. It seems that we are here at the right time." Lu Bu stood on a high ground northwest of the Pingding Slope in a tall wind-chasing horse, looking at the more than 100,000 soldiers Chu who were busy in the distance and chuckled with a playful look on his face.

Zhang Han, the deputy general who was riding on a pure white horse, also smiled slightly: "These Chu soldiers are quite hospitable. They know that our Qin soldiers came from afar and had not had lunch and had not had enough rest yesterday. They just built camps for us to stay in such a big sun, and those foods that smelled very good. Haha, it seems that we also have to give them a big gift to show the etiquette of our Qin."

Lu Bu closed his eyes and took a deep breath to the scent of rice burned by the fire-headed army of Chu, showing an expression of enjoyment: "It's so fragrant. After eating dry food for so many days, a bird has almost faded out of his mouth, and now he can finally have a good meal of hot food! Nangong Yan, I told me that I would order the four hoofs of the war horses with my cloth on my body, and the whole army dismounted and marched towards the Chu army camp. After entering a thousand steps, we will start to get on the horse and speed up the charge. Today, we will camp here!!"

"The last general will take the order!" Nangong Yan bowed his hand and said, turned his horse's head and ran towards the rear.

After receiving Lu Bu's military order, the soldiers in the Qin cavalry phalanx began to dismount and wrap the four hooves of their war horses one by one with the cloth they carried. Although the horses wrapped in cloth still made some noises, as long as the soldiers led the war horses slowly, the horses wrapped in cloth could still reduce many sounds. After these soldiers completed the package of their four hooves of their war horses, they all dismounted and walked in accordance with Lu Bu's military order, led the war horses slowly to march towards the Chu army camp.

Lu Bu's general order said that he started to charge a horse from a thousand steps away, and the distance of a thousand steps may be a relatively long distance in the eyes of the infantry. However, in the eyes of the tens of thousands of Daqin black-armored iron cavalry whom Lu Bu and his command, as long as the war horses really raise the speed of the horse to charge, the distance of a few thousand steps is just a short distance that passes in a flash!

If you have the intention to make a mistake, you will be prepared to attack without preparation. If you want to know what happens next, you will see that you will not tear down again~~
