Xiong Wuliang's 10,000 Chu soldiers were advancing at an unprecedented marching speed.
The longer the delay, the greater the damage the Qi army will cause to the hinterland of Chu!
The soldiers of Chu set out lightly - except for only five days' worth of food, grass and weapons, they took nothing with them.
In two days, they marched one hundred and forty miles, and there were basically not many soldiers left behind... setting a record that was unimaginable in the world.
Xiong Wuliang was still dissatisfied with this speed, so he ordered his troops to continue to reduce weight - the soldiers of the Chu army also abandoned their shields and tents for sleeping at night, while the Shaohu army abandoned their heavy armor... leaving behind a hundred The Shaohu Army took care of these supplies, while the rest of the army continued to advance rapidly.
A normal march would take at least eight days, but Xiong Wuliang's 10,000-strong army only took three days!
Xiong Wuliang sat on the bronze chariot, while marching, while sorting out the detective reports sent by the scouts——
"After resting for a day, the Qi army has marched eastward along the Huaihe River!"
"The Qi army has occupied three cities along the way, and its troops are pointing directly at [Gaoping]!"
"The Qi army has captured Gaoping! They are looting!"
…
Xiong Wuliang frowned - the speed of the Qi army's advance was also amazing!
On the evening of September 26, the 10,000 Chu troops under Xiong Wuliang finally met the main force of the Qi army.
The camps of 120,000 Qi troops were set up all over the mountains and plains, purple flags fluttered in the wind, and the sound of Qi soldiers training resounded throughout the sky.
Looking from a distance, in the middle of the Qi army camp, a huge Chinese army flag was fluttering in the wind.
Shaohu had excellent eyesight and looked at it intently. There was a faint line of words on the big flag: "General Zhen of Daqi".
The entire camp was heavily guarded and boundless, and it really looked like a strong army.
On the other hand, the soldiers under Xiong Wuliang's command were all sweating and their steps were sluggish due to the rapid march for several days. Especially in terms of equipment, most soldiers only have a solitary sword in their hands.
The personnel were also uneven—at least a thousand people were left behind on the road.
All the Chu soldiers did not know Xiong Wuliang's plan. At this moment, looking at the neat Qi army camp opposite, they all felt weak in their calves.
"This is the 120,000 Qi army camp?"
"My God, how can I survive this?"
"That little Qu Yangjun just brought us to death!"
…
Xiong Wuliang ignored the hesitation of the soldiers. He took a quick look and pointed towards the highest hillside nearby——
"Send the order and station yourself on this mountain!"
…
"What? The Chu army came so fast!" Tian Zhen was shocked when he saw the soldiers entering the tent to report the news, and stood up suddenly.
Tian Zhen hurriedly walked out of his tent——
He put up a pergola with his hands and looked into the distance.
really!
Under the cover of night, on the hillside in the distance, there are shadowy figures of Chu soldiers...
"How could the Chu army be so fast?" Tian Zhen didn't understand, but was shocked!
Ling Bao cupped his hands and said: "General. The Chu army came quickly, so there must be not many of them. The figures on the mountain are probably a trick of the Chu army to suspect the soldiers——"
"General Yimo thinks it's better to attack immediately! Destroy this Chu army before they have a firm foothold!"
Tian Zhen thought for a moment and shook his head.
Now that night has fallen and the enemy's situation is unclear, a hasty attack is not the way to win.
If they were ambushed by the Chu people and killed their troops, the gain would outweigh the loss.
It is better to wait until dawn to find out the situation of this Chu army before making a decision.
Not bad at all!
With this in mind, Tian Zhen issued an order: "Don't act rashly - send the order and send more sentries to guard against Chu people's night attacks."
"Wait until dawn tomorrow before making plans!"
Ling Bao accepted the order.
That night, Tian Zhen slept very uneasily.
According to his calculations, it would take at least twenty days for the Chu army near Fulisai to appear in front of him.
Now that the Chu people were coming so quickly, Tian Zhen felt like the situation was out of control.
In the Qi army camp, there were also doubts about the sudden appearance of the Chu army. All kinds of bizarre speculations and rumors were quietly passed around the camp - the Qi army soldiers slept very uneasily that night.
Fortunately, the night passed quickly, and the sky turned white. Tian Zhen hurriedly put on his armor, walked out of the camp, and looked towards the mountain opposite——
Tian Zhen rubbed his eyes, first surprised, then laughing wildly!
"What Chu army? They are clearly a mob!"
There were quite a lot of people coming, probably close to 10,000 people.
However, how could a mere 10,000 people stop the 120,000 Qi army?
For example, Braised Egg at 0/23/0 entered the wild area alone to challenge King Lanling at 20/0/3...
This horse is here to kill someone!
After Tian Zhen laughed a few times, he observed carefully for a while, and his smile became even brighter.
The Chu army on the opposite side did not camp on the road in front of them, but moved away from the road and stationed on the mountain nearby.
This posture is really hard for Tian Zhen to understand!
This hillside is just a barren and lonely mountain without even a mountain spring. Even if Tian Zhen does not attack, as long as the mountain is surrounded, the tens of thousands of Chu people on the mountain will be cut off from water sources.
What did General Chu on the opposite side think?
Got kicked in the head by a donkey?
Tian Zhen squinted his eyes and looked for a long time, but he couldn't see clearly the words on the flag on the mountain. He poked Ling Bao beside him: "What's the name of the Chu general opposite?"
Ling Bao has been operating boats on the water all year round and has good eyesight. He concentrated on distinguishing it for a long time, and then read it word by word——
"Chu... Quyang Junliang?" Ling Bao murmured.
Tian Zhen was struck by lightning!
"Did you read that correctly??"
This name is definitely unfamiliar to him!
A year ago, this man did not follow martial ethics at [Yu Mountain] and openly tortured and killed Tian Yu, a senior official in Qi State.
Not long ago, it was this Quyangjun Mi Liang who once again ignored military ethics and carried out surprise attacks to seize Fu Lisheng, causing the blood of 30,000 Qi army soldiers to be spilled...
Now we meet again!
Tian Zhen narrowed his eyes, and a strong murderous intention surged in his heart - since you bumped into this handsome man, you are unlucky!
Today, we must chop off this man’s head to pay homage to Jiang Yu and the souls of the 30,000 Qi heroes who died in the battle!
snort!
Mi Liang, you came very quickly, beyond my expectation... But I have an army of 120,000 men under my command, so what are you going to do to fight me?
Tian Zhen looked up to the sky and laughed: "Leave the camp and form an array!"
"Instruct the three armies - the person on the mountain is Lord Qu Yang of Chu State. Cut off his head and the reward will be one thousand!"
If Xiong Wuliang on the mountain knew about Tian Zhen's reward, he would definitely sneer at it - Zhuo, you want to buy your life for a thousand gold? You look down on me too much!
Xiong Wuliang looked down upon a thousand gold coins, but for the lower-level soldiers of Qi, one thousand gold coins was definitely an unimaginable huge amount of money!
After Tian Zhen gave the order, the Qi soldiers' eyes glowed green, and their morale was greatly boosted. I wish I could rush up and cut off Xiong Wuliang's head and come back to collect the reward.
One hundred and twenty thousand Qi troops came out of camp and formed twelve huge square formations on the river beach. I saw flying flags, chariots lined up, gongs and drums, bright helmets, and an extraordinary momentum.
Tian Zhen waved his hand and said succinctly: "Blow the drum and invite us to fight!"
