It should be noted that the Chu, Qi and Yue Three Kingdoms Allied Forces on the opposite side had a total of 420,000 people. It was beyond Sima Cuo's expectation that such a huge army could arrive so quickly.
It seems... Chu people's enthusiasm for fighting is unexpectedly strong!
It seems that they are no weaker than those Qin soldiers under Sima Cuo who roared with red eyes and wanted revenge on Chu!
"Have you ever seen Xiong Wuliang's flag?" Sima Cuo asked.
The scout raised his hand and said, "Reporting to the Lieutenant of the State - I haven't found the Quyang Hou Banner with a corner missing so far!"
Mi Liang's child's Hou flag is missing a corner, which has become a symbol of that boy.
To be honest, the Qin army scouts did not see Xiong Wuliang's Hou Qi, and they were worried about gains and losses——
Since Xiong Wuliang didn't show up, he didn't have to face off against that terrifying opponent who didn't play according to common sense.
He was also unwilling to defeat Xiong Wuliang head-on on the battlefield and avenge Qin's defeat!
Sima Cuo didn't have so many thoughts. He just breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "Very good... Let's explore again!"
As a seasoned general, Sima Cuo naturally regards victory as his only goal - whether he can defeat Xiong Wuliang or avenge his shame is not important in Sima Cuo's eyes.
Moreover, Sima Cuo was older, and Bai Qi no longer had the ambition to compete with Mi Liang.
Being able to win the battle is the most important thing!
Nothing else matters!
Sima Cuo turned around and smiled at General Gongsun Xi and Bao Yuan: "Since the Marquis of Quyang did not show up... then our army has a 70% chance of winning this battle!"
The generals looked at each other and were shocked speechless for a moment.
Brother, wake up!
There is an army of 420,000 on the opposite side!
However... these words came from the mouth of the famous general Sima Cuo. Everyone really couldn't think of any doubts - they could only nod their heads, and they felt a little more confident in their hearts.
Gongsun Xi suppressed his emotions and suggested: "The enemy has recently arrived and their foothold is not yet stable... Should we take this opportunity to fight first?"
"It's also a good idea to judge the strength of the enemy's army."
The generals nodded one after another, and Xiang Meng was even more eager to fight, begging to be able to take over the task of exploratory attack.
Sima Cuo shook his head, and a mysterious smile flashed across his face again——
"Not urgent."
"The time is not yet ripe."
"Just hold your troops still and let the Chu people camp safely... I have my own way of defeating the enemy!"
…
South of Pheasant Mountain.
The endless 420,000 allied troops advanced slowly forward, with flags covering the sun and swords and halberds like a forest.
There are many war flags, and under the largest banner with the word "Chu", is a large chariot with quite exquisite workmanship - four handsome white horses are pulling this chariot, followed by Nobles wearing all kinds of armor.
The person on this chariot is of course King Mihuai of Chu!
The Chu army scouts hurried over and bowed to the chariot where King Chu was sitting: "The overlord - the coalition of Qin, Wei and Han is just north of Pheasant Mountain! It is only a hundred miles away from our army!"
Chu King Mi Huai's fat face trembled, and then he looked at the Chu generals beside him: "The enemy has few soldiers, do you want to work hard and fight them directly?"
The generals' heads are covered with black streaks.
This king of ours... really doesn't know how to fight.
Anyway, fortunately we have an absolute military advantage here.
Moreover, although King Huai of Chu was stupid, he was better at being obedient - there were many veteran generals in the army. As long as he listened to the advice of these generals, retreating from the enemy should be no problem.
Wu Bi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, our army has come a long way and our soldiers are tired... Why not set up camp for the time being and rest for a while - after settling down, it will not be too late to attack again."
Qu Ping also nodded repeatedly.
King Huai of Chu waved his hand and said, "Okay! I will do as you say!"
"The three armies are encamped!"
"Have a rest, and I will lead you to clear out the enemy forces!"
The three armies of Chu, Qi and Yue were as powerful as a rainbow. When they saw the king's flag waving in the distance, they all shouted together: "I obey the overlord's order! Great Chu will be victorious!"
The low roars of more than 400,000 people were like rolling thunder, streaking across the sky - unless you were there at the scene, it would be difficult to imagine how shocking this was.
The fat King Huai of Chu patted his belly and laughed!
If a few people have a large army like this, why worry about being victorious?
A mere 250,000 enemy troops dare to invade our hegemonic Chu territory?
How arrogant!
Now, I, Mi Huai, personally lead an army of 420,000, and I will definitely defeat the allied forces of Qin, Wei, and Han. I will use the blood of the enemy to prove that the glorious majesty of Chu will never be violated by anyone!
After my army took a break, the whole army pressed forward and had a head-on duel with the enemy with real swords and guns - in the face of the absolute superiority of troops, any trick was vulnerable!
The 420,000-strong Chu-Qi army, under the command of Qu Ping and Wu Bi, set up camp in an orderly manner.
From beginning to end, no one from Qin showed up - which surprised King Chu Huai.
"The enemy has invaded our Dachu territory. Shouldn't we take advantage of our army's unstable foothold and attack?"
"Why is there no movement at all north of Pheasant Mountain?"
Qu Ping and Wu Ben looked at each other, very pleased.
Okay, okay - being able to say these words shows that our king, more or less, knows some common sense about marching and fighting.
I understand a little, but not much!
Also, in this era of continuous weapons, most of the nobles have some knowledge of military knowledge - even lazy people like Xiong Wuliang have to practice swordsmanship since childhood.
Ahem, although the level is not very good...
General Zhu Guo Qu Ping cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I guess it is because our army is so large in number that the enemy is wary and does not dare to attack easily."
King Chu Huai glanced around and saw that all the generals nodded, and couldn't help laughing!
Some of the original anxiety also disappeared at this moment.
Self-confidence is unprecedentedly high!
"Now do you know how majestic Chu is? Unfortunately, it's too late!" King Huai of Chu waved his hand in high spirits!
"Since the enemy does not dare to act rashly, our army is not in a hurry."
"Anyway, I, Da Chu, have plenty of money and food!"
"Set up camp! Set up camp! Confront the enemy first and see how those rabble will act?"
…
Chu Qi Yue's three armies numbered 420,000, and they camped south of [Pheasant Mountain].
The camp stretches all the way to the end of sight - all kinds of flags are hidden in the sky and the sun is hidden, the sound of daily drills is shaking the heaven and the earth, and the three armies are like a rainbow!
Everyone firmly believes that as long as the enemy does not increase its troops in the future, the battle will be won.
As long as the numbers are steadily increased, the opponent will never be able to beat him!
420,000 vs. 250,000, the advantage is mine!
Time passed quickly during the confrontation between the two armies, and two full months passed by in a flash.
The armies of Qin, Wei and Han had no intention of launching an attack. King Huai of Chu, under the advice of many generals, was happy to hold on to the camp. The two armies were in peace, and even the encounter between the scouts of the two armies broke out. few.
The so-called 'sit-down war' is nothing more than this.
