'Boom, boom, boom'!
The war drums of the Qi army began to beat rumblingly, and 120,000 Qi troops were waiting in formation, waiting for the response of the Chu army on the mountain.
This is a typical battle procedure during the Warring States Period - before the two armies fight, the sound of drums is used as an agreement, and the sound of drums is a promise of battle.
Tian Zhen stood under the banner of the Chinese army, his eyes cold.
Xiong Wuliang, today is the day you die!
No matter what happens, just kill that guy to death when you meet him!
There was no movement on the mountain, and the Chu army's camp was completely quiet - the 10,000 Chu army did not respond to the Qi army's invitation to fight.
Tian Zhen laughed, not surprised——
"Xiong Wuliang was frightened by the momentum of our army!"
"Maybe he peed his pants!"
All the Qi military generals burst into laughter and beamed with joy, making no secret of their contempt and ridicule of the Chu people.
Tian Zhen smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand: "Knock the drum again!"
'Dong, dong, dong...' The morale of the Qi army was greatly boosted, and the drummer raised his arms harder and beat out dense drum beats.
…
On the mountain, the soldiers of the Chu army looked around, their faces full of panic.
The Qi army below had a total of 120,000 people, but there were only 10,000 people on their side - and they were not fully equipped with weapons. Heavy things like shields were left on the road for the sake of speed.
"It's bitter, it's bitter!" A Chu soldier's legs trembled and his voice trembled.
"As long as the Qi army launches a charge, we will definitely not be able to stop it...not even for half an hour!"
"Qu Yangjun will bring trouble to the brothers this time!"
Xiong Wuliang glanced at the commotion of Chu soldiers and smiled slightly.
He looked at Zhao Hua, who was holding a map at the side. Zhao Hua raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Calculate the time, it should be soon!"
Xiong Wuliang nodded, stood up and said loudly: "Second and third sons, don't be panic, I have my own plan to defeat the enemy!"
"Wait for a moment, wait for my order, and then fight bravely to kill the enemy!"
…
After the Qi army beat the war drums for the second time, the Chu people still had no intention of fighting.
Tian Zhen frowned.
Fight but not fight, retreat but never retreat.
What's the point?
Tian Zhen sneered: "The Chu people didn't move at all... Could it be that they were frightened and fainted?"
The generals burst into laughter.
Tian Zhen also laughed and said coldly: "Bang the drum again and give the Chu people the last chance to die in an upright manner!"
The Qi army beats the war drum for the third time...
By the time this round of drumming stopped, the drummer was exhausted and sweating profusely.
The soldiers of the Qi army became commotion and were very dissatisfied with the Chu army's indifference.
Tian Zhen suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist and pointed toward the mountain——
"Our army has been beating drums for three rounds! Da Qi has exhausted its benevolence and justice!"
"Kill! Kill all the Chu people! Revenge for General Jiang Yu!"
The flag of the Qi Army was waving, and the twelve Qi Army formations were like a rainbow. The chariot phalanx that Qi was proud of slowly moved forward, followed by the Qi Army infantry who were waiting in full formation.
The Laizhou Navy made several trips back and forth, transporting the chariots, tents, flags and drums that the Qi soldiers had abandoned on the coast.
Today's 120,000 Qi army is a fully equipped authentic Qi army!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Qi's soldiers strode forward.
At the front was the chariot, followed by the sword and shield bearers. The Qi army holding long swords and halberds raised the purple Qi army flag high and advanced steadily towards the mountain.
Flying sand and rocks, huge smoke and dust! The 120,000 Qi troops shouted to kill every three steps, which echoed in the mountains like rolling thunder.
"Behead Xiong Wuliang in formation and get a thousand gold rewards!" Tian Zhen waved the sword in his hand and shouted loudly.
…
The Chu soldiers barely held their ground.
Zhuo, just die!
Mr. Qu Yang didn't even run away, what do we soldiers have to be afraid of!
Fifteen hundred Shaohu troops were at the front, while 10,000 Chu troops were arrayed behind the Shaohu troops...
Xiong Wuliang raised his head and glanced in the direction of the sun, and said solemnly: "It's almost over!"
"Don't panic, wait for my order!"
I don’t know when it started, but the ground began to tremble slightly.
Following the direction of the Huai River, looking far upstream to the west... a large number of birds started to rise from the forest.
There seemed to be the sound of Shen Xiong's roaring mountains and tsunami coming from afar!
Xiong Wuliang looked happy, stood up, put his hands on the arbor and looked to the west, as if he was expecting something.
At the foot of the mountain, the charging Qi soldiers had already advanced to a distance of only 200 steps from the Chu army's camp... The Qi soldiers had bent down slightly and huddled behind their shields——
The meaning of this posture is to wait for the Chu army's arrow attack and prepare to launch an all-out charge.
But at this moment, they all stood firm in unison.
The Qi soldiers looked at each other in confusion, as if they were confirming something with each other.
"Did you hear it?"
"what sound?"
"It seems...the earth in the west is shaking!"
Tian Zhen frowned, but did not reprimand his sergeants for stopping their advance——
The Qi general straightened his body and twitched his nose slightly.
What a strong vapor!
Tian Zhen's expression suddenly changed! It seems like I remembered something terrible!
"Quick! Evacuate to both sides! Leave the valley shoals!" Tian Zhen shouted loudly.
It's too late!
A huge wave rushed out of the forest, and many big trees as thick as a hug could not withstand such a powerful force and tilted to one side.
Taking a closer look, the waves were more than ten feet high!
With unrivaled momentum, they rushed towards the Qi army formed in the ford of the river valley!
"Leave the shallows! Leave the shallows!" Tian Zhen was still shouting desperately.
The soldiers of Qi Army were greatly shocked. Looking at the incoming tide, their faces turned earth-colored.
The wave crashed down mercilessly, and the Qi army's formation collapsed. The proud and powerful chariot was sent flying, and then crashed down heavily.
The soldiers were unable to fight back and were swept away by the rolling waves.
The mountains and plains are filled with the wails of Qi soldiers!
The Chu army officers and soldiers on the mountain widened their eyes and were so shocked by this sudden reversal that they could not close their mouths.
Seeing the wave rushing over the mountainside, Xiong Wuliang breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the mountain is high enough."
To be honest, such turbulent water was beyond Xiong Wuliang's expectation.
Several Chu counties downstream may be in danger of disaster this time...
But...there's nothing we can do about it.
If the Qi army is allowed to continue to advance, the harm they will cause to the civilians of Chu will be much greater than this flood.
The biggest wave has passed, and the water in front of the Chu army has slowed down slightly... The originally wide river valley has now become a swamp...
The flags, tents, and remaining firewood and other objects of the Qi Army were floating on the water in random directions. The corpses of the Qi Army soldiers who were drowned, choked, and trampled to death were slowly swaying with the water waves...
Xiong Wuliang scratched his head... He originally wanted to use the water to cover up the killing and expand the results of the battle, but now ten thousand Chu soldiers can't get down the mountain.
Just at this time, I saw a large fleet of boats going down the river in the upstream direction.
Looking from a distance, it seems that the flag of the Chu army is flying on the boat.
Shaohu took a closer look and said with joy, "It's Qu Yangjun!"
For the first time in Shaohu's life, looking at the flag of Qu Yangjun was so pleasing to the eye!
The fleet leaned towards the hillside, and Zhong Hua jumped off the leading sampan: "Greetings to the Lord! Fortunately, the general will live up to his command!"
Xiong Wuliang laughed——
