As the saying goes, if a soldier is a bear, he will be a bear.

The Chu people in the south were not afraid of bloodshed and died, and their combat power was very tenacious.

With the fiefdom of fiefdom of fiefdom, the Chu people were able to establish a great power of 5,000 miles, and compete with Jin for hegemony for a hundred years, with martial blood flowing in their bones.

After King Zhuang of Chu, Chu State actively studied Central Plains culture on the one hand, and on the other hand, it still stubbornly adhered to the ancient traditions of the Chu people.

Qin State rose, Bai Qi attacked Chu, Chu State was defeated in succession, lost Yingdu, and burned the land of the royal tomb. Many people mistakenly thought that the Chu people were poor and weak and vulnerable.

The tragedy of Chu State is that the emergence of a mediocre king in the country coincides with the prosperity of Qin State. Unfortunately, he met Bai Qi, the leader of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period. No matter how good the Chu people are in battle, they have no power to turn the world back.

Xiang Yan at the end of the Chu State became the leader of many generals of Chu State, and the Xiang family under his command were all strong. The Chu army led by Xiang Yan gathered under the Xiang family's banner, and the lost spirit seemed to have come back.

"Kill me and push the Qin army back!"

Xiang Bo from the front line stood up on the chariot, leaned on the shoulder of the horse, stabilized his body, and ordered the Chu army's subsequent military formation to continue moving forward.

Opposite Xiang Bo, Zhang Tuo and Meng Hu issued almost the same order.

"Stay steady, and you will be able to retreat and kill!"

Chen Ying's city gate and the Chu army camp were less than ten miles away. The Qin army was setting up its formation and needed space. Xiang Yan discovered the intention of the Qin army, and the two armies fought for the death toll around the space on the battlefield.

From a distance, the Qin army formation and the Chu army formation were intertwined, as if two barbarian bulls were approaching fiercely.

"Huh--"

Meng Hu's military formation suddenly made a sharp whistle.

After hearing the whistle, the soldiers in the front row of the army exerted their strength instantly, swept the opposite Chu army and quickly retreated back to the army. The Qin army in the second row then took over the position of the Qin army in the first row and continued to fight with the Chu army.

As early as Xianyang, Meng Tian paid attention to the rotation of soldiers in front and back of the military formation. After years of training, every time the Qin soldiers heard the whistle, the rotation movements became extremely skillful.

The Qin army infantry phalanx, which adopts the rotational combat method, has become more lasting in combat and can fight for a day.

The general under Meng Tian, ​​Su Jiao, who commanded the infantry, had a deeper understanding of the rotation between the military formations. Meng Hu followed Meng Tian, ​​watching Meng Tian train and learned this trick.

"kill!"

The newly replaced Qin soldiers were waiting for their labor and were full of energy to attack the Chu army's front.

The Chu army front that had been holding on for half an hour, faced with the black wave of the Qin army, there were faint signs of instability.

Seeing that Meng Hu's army became more and more brave, Zhang Tuo was not willing to fall behind and led his people to attack forward with his life.

Blood splattered everywhere, crossbows covered the sky and the sound of killing shook the earth. When the birds in the distance flew to this sky, they screamed and walked around in a detour.

Only the black vultures, flapping their huge wings, kept hovering in the sky.

Whenever the two armies fight, these vultures seem to receive advance notice and will always come to the battlefield filled with bloody smell at the right time.

On the city tower, Meng Tian saw that the Qin army's crossbow formation had become quiet and began to retreat to the rear.

The Qin army's crossbow formation attracted the Chu army's crossbow soldiers. The two armies shot at each other, and the crossbow arrows were consumed very quickly.

Now the two armies are in close contact and continue to release crossbow arrows, which is likely to cause accidental injury.

The crossbow soldiers retreated, and the subsequent military formations stepped forward, and the military formations of the two armies became more solid.

Xiang Bo, who received subsequent reinforcements, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Just a little short of it, his front was broken through by the Qin army.

Also as Xiang Yan's son, Xiang Bowu was not as good as Xiang Rong, and his strategy was not as good as Xiang Liang, and he seemed to be neither up nor down.

Xiang Bo gritted his teeth and insisted that he wanted to prove that his ability to lead troops was no worse than that of Xiang Rong and Xiang Liang.

"Taoshiba, prepare to attack!"

Hearing Meng Tian's order, a personal soldier carried a yellow flag with a ox cart painted on it. The personal soldier approached the city wall, raised the flag with both hands, and kept shaking it forward and backward.

On the battlefield, when the two armies confronted each other, the shouts of killing could easily cover up the sound of the drums. The ancient generals of the army constantly summarized their combat experience and formed a complete command system.

In addition to the common golden drums, the countries in the Central Plains also constitute the command signal.

When the chariot strikes, the flags painted with carriages; when the cavalry attacks, the green cavalry painted with flying eagles.

These battlefield flag languages ​​are said to be passed down from Jiang Taigong. After the Western Zhou Dynasty divided the feudal states, various vassal states adopted them one after another.

As time goes by, countries gradually form their own tradition of flag language, but experienced generals can still guess the use of the other generals from the other's flag language.

For example, the pattern with birds is generally related to fast mobile troops.

But what happened to this pattern with a ox cart?

Xiang Bo widened his eyes and looked at the ox cart pattern that was constantly shaking on the Chen Ying City Tower, frowned and confused.

Meng Tian won’t use the Manniu Cart Formation, right?

Looking around, Xiang Bo did not find any shadow of the cow, and he didn't even see the calf.

The book records that it is not that no one has tried to train the mangul to fight, but the result is really unsatisfactory. The bull's running speed is not fast and his personality is not docile enough. He is easily influenced by the sound of war.

Before killing the enemy, our own bull formation will destroy our own military formation.

In fact, Xiang Bo has seen in his family's collection that from ancient times to the present, Tian Dan from Qi successfully defeated the Yan army besieged by the help of the cattle.

How to train a fire cattle? How to ensure that after the ox tail catches fire, the fire cattle will run straight to the Yan army camp without running around?

The secret of the Fire Cow Formation was taken to the grave with Tian Dan's death.

It is difficult to use to train oxen. Because of this, the Qin army cast out the battle flag with a ox cart that confused Xiang Bo.

Xiang Bo didn't understand what the ox chariot was fighting flag, but Zhang Tuo and Meng Hu were clear about it on the front line.

After receiving a reminder from personal soldiers, Zhang Tuo and Meng Hu turned around and saw the shaking ox chariot battle flags, and quickly sent an order to make the military formation sticker more densely.

The soldiers behind the army retreated to both sides and gave way.

"Hurry up!"

Dabosen commanded the soldiers of the Stone-Tail Camp, turning the wheels and twenty Stone-Tail carts, and quickly moved forward along the passage given out by the soldiers in the military formation.

At a distance of fifty steps from the Chu army formation, the soldiers of the Stone-Tailing Camp took out the stones, put them under the wheels, and stabilized the Stone-Tailing Car.

"Put off the car stick quickly!"

With Doctor Sen's order, the soldiers pulled open the wooden switch on the catapult, and three hardwood sticks the size of fists fell to the ground. The soldiers took out the hammer, pounded it hard, and pierced it into the soil.

“Up torsion!”

"Take a stone!"

"put!"

······

Watching hundreds of round stones the size of wine jars sink into the Chu army's position, the stone in Meng Tian's heart was completely landed.

"The torsional catapult first came to the battlefield, but there was no mistake......"
