Chapter 120 Mingjian
The Qin army had the helplessness of the Qin army, and could not retreat or collapse, and had to defend the array to the death. However, artillery was by no means able to resist by manpower. No matter how valuable the enemy's head was, it was important to save his life first. Since the Qin soldiers handed over all the soldiers who fell into the formation of the Tang army, Ruo Ao alone could not call the cannon soldiers to attack the array, so he had to vent all the anger of failure on the original Tang army's spear-storing array. He did not believe that the Qin army's spear-storing array could not be broken by spear-storing alone.
The soldiers of the Tang army, especially the dozens of soldiers handed over by the Qin soldiers, were extremely ashamed. They were captured by the Qin people and released them again. If the army had not been for the cannons, they would have died in the military formation. Ahhhh shouted, they vented all the anger in their hearts on the Qin soldiers in front of them, and rushed up with their barbarian spears.
Every time the spears are rushing, they can pierce the shields in the hands of Qin soldiers and pierce the thin leather armor on their bodies. However, the Qin soldiers behind the formation are moved, and the depth of the array changes at any time according to the position of the Chu army's spears. A row of Qin soldiers will be stabbed to death, and a row of Qin soldiers will be added immediately after the formation. The pressure of the May Day kill order and the Qin people's tradition of hard-working since ancient times support the Qin army's array of Qin will never be defeated unless no one will be added after the formation.
The Tang army did not bombard the soldiers because the Qin soldiers handed over the Tang army's soldiers. The other seven divisions and brigades that rushed to the spear did not reach such a potential exchange tacit understanding with the Qin people. Once the artillery guards in the rear cleared the artillery firing boundary, the solid bullets would aim at the Qin army array and bombard them fiercely.
But at this time, the Qin army no longer held as hard as the Qin soldiers beside the Tang army. The Qin army allowed the sixty rows of military formations bombarded by artillery. When the Chu army brigade, who was rushing to the spear, tried to pass through the gap to break the formation, the Qin soldiers who were avoiding the two sides immediately blocked it. In the struggle between the two sides, either the Qin army array on both sides of the gap retreated to maintain the level of the line; or relying on the flesh and blood to resist, pushing the Chu army spear array out of the gap. At this point, the war was completely in a stalemate. The Chu army could kill countless Qin soldiers, but it could not break through their array.
Under Xue Chen's obstacle, Xiong Jing saw the situation behind the Qin army, but he could see the situation on the battle line. The Qin army was not only tough, but also fought smartly. Of course, it was not the Qin army soldiers who were smart, but the Qin army generals who commanded the battle were smart and were extremely familiar with the army.
"It's too late if you don't break the formation!" Xiong Jing sighed when he saw the Xiang Master on the left rushing into the gap and being squeezed out by Qin's servant.
"If the artillery soldiers can attack forward, the Qin formation can be broken." Zhuang Wudi's observation was more detailed than Xiong Jing, and he did not agree with the command of Qin generals. This tactic of avoiding artillery fill-in-the-blank is actually the retreat decisive battle tactic used by the Qin army in the Battle of Xiangcheng. The difference is that the array of empty spaces is wide, and this tactic of avoiding artillery fill-in-the-blank is easier to command because of the smaller array width.
"Will the cannon soldiers attack forward?" Xiong Jing subconsciously looked at the corpses of people and horses three or fifty steps in front of the cannon array. The chariot array arranged here, the chariots have been covered by these corpses, and it is not easy to clean them up. "It's not enough." He shook his head repeatedly. It is impossible for the cannons to hit forward in a short time, and they cannot advance through these corpses. Even if there are no corpses, it is not easy to clean the chariot array.
Xiong Jing looked ahead of the cannon formation, and Zhuang Wudi knew the situation in front of the cannon formation. It took too much time for the Chu army to cross the gutter and explode the east embankment. Looking at the completely stalemate situation in front of him, he suddenly had a premonition that the war might be delayed until late at night or even tomorrow morning.
Zhuang Wudi naturally had this premonition in the sound of cannons. The sound of cannons once again violently touched the nerves of Wang Jian who was unable to wake up. In the warm carriage, his fingers moved with the sound of cannons, but no one saw them.
The general was cold and fainted. The shogunate alchemist was helpless and could only carry the general into the carriage to cook fire. Liu Chi, a bunch of people were panicked. Fortunately, the generals of each army performed their duties and did not require Wang Jian's direct command. The Qin army did not panic because of this. The generals of each army did not know that Wang Jian was cold and fainted. They could only see the feather flags representing the general standing in the wind.
"If the general is not awake, it is absolutely unchanged. If the generals ask for it and the generals ask for orders without answering, the army will be in chaos." Liu Chi was in charge, but he was coordinating the entire shogunate. Now he was talking about the master of military strategy, Wu Goubei.
"General Bai has set up the array, how can he change the generals at will?" Liu Chi pointed to the battle line in front and shouted, and disagreed with Wu Goubei's opinion.
During the war, the Chu army artillery fired unexpectedly. When the cannons were fired, he thought that the front army would collapse, but he did not expect that the front army would miraculously resist. However, all the soldiers in the rear army in Bai Lin's hand fought all over, and even the short soldiers led by the generals were suppressed. The problem now is that Bai Lin, the general of the front army, asked the shogunate not to fill the front army's array, but to draw soldiers from Qiang Sheng.
This is different from the arrangements during the military discussion before the war. The arrangement before the war was: the previous formation was lighted and the second formation was set up again, the second formation was set up again, the third formation was set up again, the third formation was set up again, the fourth formation, and the fifth formation were set up again.
Which of the two methods is better? The latter is better on the market, and people often choose the former on the actual battlefield. The reason is that the generals and soldiers of the second formation, the third formation, the fourth formation, and the fifth formation have no experience in receiving the enemy. Once they take the enemy, they will inevitably feel uncomfortable. The generals and soldiers of the former army have been fighting for a long time. They know how to deal with the tactics used by the Chu army in this decisive battle. With them as the backbone, and the soldiers of the square army formation are flesh and blood, the safest way is to form a flesh and blood Great Wall. Let the other generals and soldiers who are hasty to take over the front and stabilize the front line, and the Chu army may be violated by the array if they are negligent.
If Wang Jian is there, Liu Chi's opinion is correct, but Wang Jian is not there. After receiving the order, the generals will send someone to the shogunate for instructions. This practice is equivalent to depriving each general of the actual command and allowing Bai Lin, a young general of the front army, to command this decisive battle that concerns the survival of the Qin Dynasty alone - but it cannot let the generals know that Wang Jian fainted. If you know, the left general Qiang Sheng, the second formation, is easy to speak, the right general Zhao Yong, the third formation, and the general An Qi, the fourth formation, may have different opinions.
There is a choice between the stability of the battle formation and the stability of internal command. Wu Goubei, the master of military strategy, has a lower status than Liu Chi, and he has to bow to Fusu, the guardian who is silent. "In the war, the situation changes all the time, and the previous discussions must not be changed, and it will be chaotic. The eldest son is the guardian of the army. If the general does not wake up, please decide."
Wu Goubei asked the eldest son to speak, which reminded Liu Chi. He also bowed loudly and said, "The situation of the war changes all the time during the war. Because of this, our army must change due to the enemy. It must not be changed. During the military discussion, it was thought that the front army array would be broken within four minutes, and the Jing people had no witch tools. Now the front army array under the witch tools was not broken for five minutes. At this time, we must not change generals to fight. The eldest son clearly explained."
Both sides asked Fusu to decide on the clarification. Fusu knew nothing, so he could only look at the Bai Di Taifu on one side and ask him for advice. Unfortunately, Alexander, who was regarded as a god by the omniscient tutor, only commanded an army of 70,000 or 80,000 people, and did not command so many troops to fight. Wang Jian saw the thunder bomb explode in the air and fell to the ground. He also hit the ground when he saw the thunder bomb explode in the air.
If the understanding of the Chu army was not gradual, it was known from the beginning that they had witch medicine and witch tools. Those who had encountered it would probably think that Zeus was exerting his divine power. The Chu army was terrible, and the Qin army that could withstand the Chu army was also terrible.
Fusu talked about the war situation in detail and then asked. Aristotle IV thought for a while before saying, "When you don't know how to choose, you should believe that you know this best and do the right person. Among all the generals, only General Bai, who is in the front, knows how to deal with Chuni's army."
"But..." Fusu also knew that Wu Goubei's concerns would arouse opposition from other generals. "If the other generals do not obey orders, if they know that the general faints..."
‘Bang bang bang bang…, bang bang bang…’ As Fusu spoke, the thunder bomb exploded in the air again, making a series of roars. This time the target was not the catapult 150 steps behind the Qin army formation, but the Qin army array itself in the battle. The war was stalemate, and the Chu army, who was eager to open up the situation, also began to take risks.
"You are the 'guard'," Aristotle IV said in a difficult Qin language, "It is the general of the general. If they do not obey orders, they should be severely punished by military law."
Aristotle IV, who saw the thunder bomb again, tried her best to restrain his trembling body, and his tone of speech became more and more urgent. Of course, he did not want the Chu army to win. Even a few divisions equipped with such terrible weapons could turn the known world upside down. This would be a disaster in the civilized world.
"You should do this, kid. The soldiers will thank you for this, because you made the right choice and handed them over to a brave general." Aristotle IV shouted with encouragement.
"The general ordered: Bai Lin, the general of the front army, can draw the soldiers of the left army to rescue..." The military officer hurried to the left army and the left army led by Qiang Sheng. The orders were the same. With this army's order, the soldiers of the five lieutenants were drawn by Bai Lin, and the left army had only five lieutenants, ten lieutenants, twenty quaveres, and a bunch of 2500 lords and 500 lords. Among the officers selected, the highest level was the hundred generals.
"The Qin Dynasty survives and falls, and fights here! The general ordered that the generals should not withdraw from the military formation by one step. Those who have not died with their comrades will be killed. The family will be punished as the city ghosts and will never be redeemed..." The sound of cannons roared, and the soldiers of the Chu army were shouting and rushing to the spear. Just standing behind the front line, Bai Lin looked at the hundreds of generals summoned and spoke loudly. At this time, the soldiers under their command had already entered the front line under the command of the former general. The crumbling front line was suddenly stable, but the coalition soldiers on the opposite side gradually became tired.
"Qiang Sheng asked for a meeting with the general." At the same time, Qiang Sheng, who had lost command in the rear of the military formation, indeed came to the shogunate and came in person. He did not see Wang Jian, but only Fusu and Liu Chi.
"The general fainted from cold." Liu Chi could only tell the truth. He only issued military orders to Qiang Sheng. Zhao Yong and An Qi did not receive similar military orders. "This mission was agreed by the eldest son."
"The General is faint..." Qiang Xu was shocked. He didn't expect that Wang Jian did not take charge of the shogunate. "What's the point?"
