The Qin army, who had not moved for several days outside Changping City, finally advanced. In order to arrange the array at any time, most of the Qin soldiers lined up without walking on the road and walked directly in the already muddy fields. The fields had been muddy for several days, and the mud was insufficient to destroy the hoarseness. The soldiers' wide mouths were not only soaked, but many of them were also stuck in the mud and unable to pull them out. After walking a few miles, the whole army was as tall as the Yue people.

In this way, the chariots of the officers who were riding in the hundred generals and five hundred commanders were also deeply trapped in the mud. They could only rely on their own short soldiers and soldiers to pull them to death to move forward with difficulty. The finally of the array was heavy chariots with soldiers' tents and dried corn and firewood. These vehicles were even more unlucky. After 300,000 soldiers stepped on the muddy fields, the already muddy fields became even muddy. When the vehicles were trapped in some places, there was no wheel immediately. It took dozens of people and hundreds of people to drag these heavy chariots out one by one.

General Meng Tian, ​​who was walking on the official road, shook his head when he saw this scene. He did not marching in a column, and the army was deeply trapped in mud. The column was marching in a column, and he was worried that he would be caught off guard by the Chu army. He had been waiting for the rain to stop, but the spring rain was continuous and it was constantly. The king behind him urged him again, saying that the Jing people were about to avoid the evasion and should fight quickly.

"If you march like this, you will only walk half a house in a day." The Qin army spread out in combat arrays, walking in the mud with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and only the shogunate walked on the official road. After only one day, the shogunate had to summon all the generals to discuss the strategies for marching.

"Then it will take a day and a half." Meng Tian was helpless about Zhao Yong and others' complaints, and he couldn't bear to take a closer look at the soldiers who were moving forward.

"In this way, the Jing people are waiting for their hard work, and our army is exhausted." Zhao Yong was the right general, and Qiang Xu became the left general.

"The fields are muddy, and the cavalry cannot run." Wu Xian could not stand the continuous spring rain. In this case, it was difficult for the cavalry to complete the orders issued by Meng Tian, ​​especially the ten thousand cavalry listed in the center of the array that could not complete the orders.

"The spring rain is endless, and the witchcraft may not be able to hit me." Meng Gong comforted. Of course, this is just a comfort. Hou Zhengzao reported that the Jing people were testing the witchcraft, and the sound was like thunder, and it was endless.

"Jing people have six or seventy thousand people? No deceit?" Zhao Yong asked the question that all the generals were very suspicious. The Chu army liked to concentrate all forces to attack part of the Qin army, and at the same time tried hard to avoid a decisive battle with all the Qin army. Two months ago, the Chu army went north to open the seal, and this time, letting the Qin army go south to Chencheng, which was incomprehensible.

Zhao Yong asked, and all the generals looked at General Meng Tian. Meng Tian restrained his desire to look at Hou Zhengzao and smiled and said, "There are indeed only six or seventy thousand people in Jing, and there is no way to know whether there is any deceit. In my opinion, the Jing people are not deceitful, but deceitful."

"Strange trick?" Zhao Yong and others were chanting this word and realized something.

"It's a witch weapon!" General Left Qiang Sheng blinked his eyes and spit out the word "witch weapon". Qiang Sheng has always been under Wang Jian's command. The young Meng Tian was named a general, and there was always some gap between them. "I dare to ask the general, if the Jing people attacked me with a witch weapon, how could they break it?"

"The general has a way to break witches." Meng Gong snatched before Meng Tian. After answering, he quickly said: "Summoning the general is not to discuss war, but to march. The road is muddy, and only travels fifteen miles a day, and he has to stay in the mud. The soldiers all complained. The shogunate had distributed hay, dry firewood to each lieutenant, and added wine and meat. Each army and lieutenant should inspect its camps and appease the morale of the army..."

Meng Gong turned the conversation back to the topic. Although spring is warm, it is only during the day. He has to camp in the mud after walking for fifteen miles. He is cold when he sleeps. This really makes people complain. When the shogunate discusses, the Qin army camp, which has been camping for only one and a half hours after walking after breakfast, slowly smoke from cooking. From today on, there are weeds mats on the mud. If there is dry firewood, don’t go to catch firewood. The most important thing is meat and wine, which greatly alleviates the complaints of the Qin army soldiers.

Meng Tian summoned the generals of each army to calm the morale of the army. He was the first time he was a general, but he could not have as strong confidence as Wang Jian. His father was very strong. He was often worried about his soldiers under his command, which made the generals laugh in his heart. After all, he was young, and he did not have the determination and experience he deserved as a general.

Even if he didn't say anything, he could understand his words and expressions. Meng Tian himself also noticed something was wrong with him. He seemed to be too concerned about the soldiers and was too generous, so that the generals looked down on him.

"I..." When he was about to tell Meng Gong this feeling, an urgent report from the cavalry came from outside the tent: "The Jing people are here!"

The wind blows north, and the three phoenix flags stained with blood fluttering in the warm spring breeze, Xiong Jing, surrounded by guard knights under his command. Behind him, countless dragon and horse knights followed closely, with military flags flying and armored horses in costumes, which made people intimidate. On both sides of the dragon knights are military knights, they are not as powerful as dragon and horses, but the huge armor shines under the spring light and cannot be humiliated. The knights are followed by the infantrymen of the 12th Division. They did not list a horizontal formation like the Qin army, but they were storming spear formations.

The entire army followed the three-headed phoenix flag, and the two armies were scattered cavalry on the side of the formation. The dragon horses drove away the Qin cavalry like a fly. The Qin cavalry was driven away and quickly turned back, and then was driven away again. Some Qin cavalry were shot and killed by the dragon horses. Xiong Jing didn't care about the cavalry battle in front of him, and his attention was all in the distance.

The twenty-mile-long Qin army camp tent stood on the muddy fields in spring, with smoke rising from the south of the camp tent except for seeing the smoke from cooking, large and small military flags, the endless military tents and the shogunate and flags of General Meng Tian, ​​there was nothing else. The Qin army was as leisurely and comfortable as a spring outing, without any pain or complaints.

As he approached, the drums suddenly sounded. Countless Qin soldiers emerged from the camp where there was only smoke from cooking. Under the order of the commander of the hundred generals, they quickly unloaded the tent, filled the well, removed the stove, and finally stood on standby. The chariots in the camp were also running rapidly. The shogunate wanted to issue the final combat order before the Chu army arrived. The first was to run out of the shogunate and sail to the various battalions, and soon rushed to the generals who were ordered to be ordered.

The Qin army marched for two days, and the Chu and Qin armies were only more than 30 miles apart. As soon as the Chu army left the camp, the Qin army repelled the cavalry and sent back the news. The Chu army had only ten miles away, and the generals of each army, thirty commanders, were summoned to the shogunate, and then hurried back to the army and announced the order. When they walked twenty miles, the Qin army had already listed the battle array: it was a military formation that was as thick as a hundred lines and was about seven miles wide, and with the cavalry arranged on both sides, the military formation was more than ten miles wide.

The Qin army thought that the decisive battle was about to come, so they were in a hurry. The Chu army was just a fire reconnaissance, so they did not slow down. In response, the shogunate strategists and Sima of each division pointed at the Qin army formation and smiled. The generals and soldiers of each division were full of reluctance. They did not understand what fire reconnaissance was. They only knew that they would retreat without fighting, which was a sign of timidity.
