"Reporting to the Lord She 2500, the Chu army has already passed by and no trace of us has been found."
Between Liuyi and the river bank where the Qin army was stationed, there was a forest at the junction of several hills.
Shejian nodded slightly as he listened to the scout's report.
Zhao Junhou led four thousand Qin troops to prepare for the attack on the banks of Surabaya, with flags flying and a great momentum.
The attention of the Chu army will definitely be attracted by it. Naturally, the pursuit along the way will lack reconnaissance, and it is impossible to detect the hidden point of their Qin army's partial division on the way.
Shebama's eyes scanned the forest.
This Qin army included wounded and prisoners.
And, a thousand bloody warriors.
…
"Finally caught you!"
The chariot rolled forward, Zhaoping stood on the chariot and leaned against Shi.
He opened his eyes wide and stared at the army about a mile ahead.
That was Zhao Ping's goal of running thousands of miles and pursuing it all the way.
A Qin army of about four to five thousand people was similar to the number Zhaoping had predicted.
The Qin army had already set up a formation on the wide river bank, standing opposite the Chu army that had just arrived.
"The Qin army did not launch a surprise attack."
Jing Tong followed the chariot on horseback and whispered.
"Good luck to General Qin. If he wants to launch a surprise attack while our army's formation is still unstable, I will let him end up like Li Xin."
Zhaoping said with some regret that he had learned a lot from the battle between Xiang Yan and Li Xin. When he came this time, he was also on guard against the Qin army's surprise attack and was prepared to deal with it.
However, the Qin general named Zhao Tuo on the opposite side was quite cunning and did not rush forward stupidly, which inevitably made Zhaoping's calculations fail.
But it doesn't matter. Judging from the opponent's number, there may be less than 5,000 people. With an army of 10,000, they will be crushed no matter how they fight.
Under the command of military officials at all levels, the Chu army began to form formations and surrounded the Qin army on the river bank.
The Qin army on the opposite side still did not move, with pairs of eyes silently watching the movements of the Chu people. Only a few black flags were fluttering in the wind.
"The Qin army wants to rely on those carriages for defense."
Jing Tong looked up at the military formation in the distance and made his judgment.
Zhaoping nodded slightly in agreement.
Just as Jing Tong said, the thousands of Qin troops on the opposite side were all infantry. They formed a semicircular battle formation, facing the Chu army, and behind them was a wide and slowly flowing Si River.
In front of the Qin army, in front of the first row of Qin soldiers, nearly thirty vehicles without horses were dragged and laid horizontally, surrounding the Qin army's battle formation as a cover.
Those were the carriages that the Qin army snatched from the city when they captured Liuyi. They used these vehicles to provide protection for the Qin soldiers behind them.
With Surabaya at the back and a horizontal chariot in front, this is a proper defensive posture.
It seems that this Qin army has been forced to a dead end by itself, and it has not moved forward to break its offensive momentum, so it can only make this passive battle formation deployment, hoping to use Surabaya and those carriages as cover to resist until the end.
But is it useful?
Zhao Ping burst out laughing.
He stood on the chariot, pointed at the Qin army a mile away with its back to Surabaya, laughed at Jing Tong and the soldiers on the left and right, and said, "How stupid this Qin general is!"
"This person thinks that with his back to Surabaya, he can shrink his troops in front, and he doesn't have to worry about the troops coming from behind. But he doesn't know what the art of war says: mountains are on the right, and marshes are on the left in front. The Qin army did not follow the art of war in setting up their formation. Instead, they formed an formation with their backs to the water. This is the way to death.”….
"The Qin people have few soldiers and will collapse sooner or later under the fierce attack of our army. Once the army collapses, these Qin people will have no way to retreat and will be completely wiped out by our army! This is really a great achievement sent by God!"
Amidst Zhaoping's loud laughter, the generals of the Chu army couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"It seems that Qin general Zhao Tuo only knows how to use tricks and use despicable curses to express his grievances, but he does not know the correct way of war. I thought he was better than me before."
Jing Tong was originally worried that Zhao Ping would do something bad because of his anger, but now he saw the Qin army arrayed against the water, which was a taboo for military strategists.
, and can’t help but feel contempt.
The Qin general opposite turned out to be an incompetent person. He could only play tricks such as capturing prisoners, defrauding the city, and sneak attacks and ambushes. In fact, he didn't know how to fight at all.
As a short-term soldier of Zhaoping, Ge Ying stood near the chariot. At this moment, he also heard Zuo Sima's words and silently wrote them down in his heart.
Don't fight with your back against the water; this is a recipe for death.
What Zuo Sima said was so good, Ge Ying felt like he had learned another trick.
He couldn't help but secretly rejoice that his original decision was the right one. By becoming Zuo Sima's short-term soldier, he not only has a higher status, but also can listen to Zuo Sima's teachings from time to time, which benefits him a lot.
I don’t know who told the Chu soldiers around, and one person spread it to ten, ten to a hundred, a hundred to a thousand...
In the end, all the thousands of Chu people knew that the Qin army on the opposite side had committed a taboo among military strategists, and they couldn't help but laugh. Their original fear and fear were reduced, but they couldn't help but feel arrogant.
"Zuo Sima, although the Qin army did not know the art of war and formed a formation with their backs to the water, they rested here for a while, quite ready to work."
"But our army has traveled all the way here, and the soldiers are quite tired. Now that our army has surrounded the opponent and has the power to actively attack, it is better to let the soldiers recover for the time being and then launch the attack later."
Although Jing Tong was arrogant, he still followed the art of war and stated his suggestions strictly.
"Well, you learned well. I have this intention. I think the Qin general on the opposite side also wants to wait for work, so I won't let him succeed."
Zhaoping nodded. As a veteran, he naturally knew the truth clearly and would not fall into General Qin's trap.
At the same time, he ordered the Chu troops in the front row to stand in formation in case the Qin army launched an attack.
At the same time, he allowed the thousands of Chu soldiers behind him to sit on the ground and rest. After the soldiers' energy was restored, he could give an order and the Chu army rushed forward and killed the Qin people to pieces, in repayment for Zhao Tuo's previous actions. His great shame.
On the shore of Surabaya.
The two armies faced each other in formation, but no one took the lead.
The Qin army waited for the Chu army to attack.
However, the Chu army took care of themselves and rested without any rush.
Zhao Tuo couldn't help but frowned, and thought to himself that Zhao Ping was indeed Zuo Sima of the Chu Kingdom. He was really good at marching and fighting. When he saw his own side in formation, he did not launch an attack in a hurry. Zhao Tuo's strategy of letting Zhao Tuo wait for work was about to fail.
But Zhao Tuo is not without options.
As the saying goes, everything depends on human effort. If the enemy does not move, then I will let him move.
Zhao Tuo summoned Hei Butt and whispered a few words in his ear.
The black hipster grinned and said with joy, "Marquis, you are really a cunning and cunning woman."
Zhao Tuo stared.
"No, he is like a god in using troops, and he is a wise man in the army!"
Black Butt hurriedly slapped him on the back, and then walked out of the military formation. ….
Soon, a Qin general strode out between the two armies.
"I am Zhao Tuo, the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army. May I ask where Sima Zuo of the Chu State is? Please come out and talk to me."
The Qin general had a loud voice, and even though he was standing far away, his voice still reached the Chu army camp.
Zhao Tuo?
When Zhaoping heard the name, anger surged into his heart involuntarily, and he recalled the insults carved on tree trunks along the way.
"Drive up."
Zhaoping ordered the charioteer through gritted teeth.
Jing Tong hurriedly said: "Zuo Sima, the enemy general is quite cunning. If he suddenly invites you, I'm afraid he may have another plot to do it with a woman."
Zhaoping glared at him and said: "What are you afraid of? I have an army of ten thousand here. No matter what his tricks are, they will turn into dead bodies in a short while. If I don't go, people will think that I am afraid of him." "
[It has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old version of the book chasing tool and is used by all old bookworms.
Such an insult, if he didn't scold him back in front of all the troops, how could he swallow it? He had never suffered that kind of humiliation in his life.
Today, he will scold Zhao Tuo to death in public!
The chariot moved between the two armies, and they could already see each other clearly.
"You are Zhao Tuo? You are such an ugly and despicable man. Don't you, the King of Qin, choose generals? How can you, an ugly man like you, lead an army on an expedition without being said to be blind?"
Zhao Ping scolded him back in one breath, feeling much relieved.
But he wasn't scolding him nonsense. The "Zhao Tuo" opposite him did have a crooked appearance, long body, short legs, big butt, and a few pimples on his face. In addition, he was covered in dirt, which made him unbearable. Head.
Unexpectedly, when "Zhao Tuo" heard the scolding, he not only didn't get angry, but laughed and said: "You Zuo Sima, how come your mouth smells like excrement? Nai Gong is smelling the odor in your mouth even though he is so far away. Could it be that I ate and forgot to drink water this morning? It really stinks!"
Zhaoping was dumbfounded. He was a high-ranking aristocrat of the Chu Kingdom and was born with a noble stomach. He had never heard such curses in the countryside. It sounded so unnatural that he couldn't even talk back.
"I heard that your mother is a maid because..."
"Zhao Tuo" opened his mouth as fast as a crossbow, and a series of curse words came out.
Moreover, his voice was loud, and at this moment, the winter wind was blowing towards the Chu army's battle formation, sending those greetings to Zhaoping's parents and ancestors to the ears of every Chu person.
An eerie silence.
All the Chu soldiers held their breath, not daring to laugh or speak out.
Zhaoping's limbs were trembling. If he hadn't been supporting Che Shi, he would have fallen off the car in anger.
blush.
Angry.
My chest is about to explode.
At this time, "Zhao Tuo" saw that it was almost time and stopped pretending. He laughed loudly and said, "My son Zhaoping, do you think Nai Gong is the Zhao Junhou?"
"No, Naigong's buttocks are black. If you don't believe it, just look at whether Naigong's buttocks are black or not!"
As he spoke, the black butt actually turned around and bowed his back in front of thousands of people on the opposite side, stretched out his hand to pick up the hem of his clothes, and exposed his black butt to Zhao Ping. ….
Some people in the Chu army couldn't bear it anymore and laughed out loud in public.
No one thought that before the battle, there could be a pre-battle battle.
One person laughs, ten people laugh.
Ten people laugh, a hundred people laugh.
Although the military judge of the Chu army quickly chopped off the heads of several laughing soldiers to suppress the laughter, the bursts of sarcastic voices still reached Zhaoping's ears.
Who can endure such a shame and humiliation?
He is a noble, how can he be reviled in public by a mean man?
Zhao Ping finally understood why King Chu of Chu wanted to put a separate reward on Black Buttocks.
This guy is so shameless!
What about waiting for work with ease, what about military warfare, it’s all bullshit!
Zhao Ping's eyes were red with anger now. He just wanted to grab the black butt opposite him, hang him up, and stab his ass with a thousand spears!
And the Qin army on the opposite side will all die!
No one alive today!
Only the blood of the Qin people can wash away the shame Zuo Sima suffered today!
"Kill me!"
"The whole army attacks and kills all these Qin people! Leave no one behind!"
Zhaoping raised his arms and roared wildly, his voice was so sharp that it hurt people's ears.
At the rear of the Chu army's formation, Jing Tong and the other Chu generals were stunned. They did not expect that Zuo Sima stepped forward to answer the opponent, and it turned out to be like this.
But no matter what, since Zuo Sima issued the military order to attack in public, they could not disobey.
War drums sounded from the Chu army camp.
The Chu troops in the front row instinctively picked up their spears and halberds and rushed towards the Qin troops at the water's edge under the shouts of the military officials.
Those Chu people in the rear who were still resting on the ground quickly stood up when they heard the sound of drums and the military order to attack, because the order to attack was too hasty.
, which actually made the Chu army's battle formation look quite chaotic at this moment.
When Black Butt saw the other party going crazy, he immediately screamed, turned around and ran towards the Qin army's battle formation at the rear.
Behind him was the Chu army that launched a hasty attack...
Dongjun taking off
