It was noon, and the Qi army was in rear formation.
The soldiers in the reserve team were resting while listening to the sounds of fighting coming from the battlefield ahead, waiting for the commander's military orders to be mobilized at any time.
Mei looked longingly at the gown beside her, swallowing her saliva.
Nanguo Gua took out half a pickled gourd from his clothes and chewed it one bite at a time, making a slurping sound in his mouth.
The ancestors of the Nanguo family were nobles. After falling into poverty, they relied on doing business and had no worries about food and clothing. They could eat three meals a day at home.
This time Nanguo Gua was drafted into the battlefield. Considering that the army may not have lunch, he made a lot of pickled melons at home and ate some when there was no meal at noon to relieve hunger.
As expected, Da Sima only focused on the grand battlefield and did not pay much attention to the needs of low-level soldiers like them.
Except for the elite soldiers who were resting in the distance, the other more than 100,000 Qi people had no lunch to eat.
Originally, an ordinary soldier like Mei was used to having two meals, so he was not very hungry at first. But there were some things that he was afraid of comparing. Seeing Pao Ze next to him eating a mouthful of sweet food, he suddenly felt his stomach became empty.
"Nan Guojun, give me a bite of the melon. Just now you wanted to watch the Qin army, but I let you ride on it. For this reason, just give me a bite of the melon."
Mei said with a shy face.
Nan Guogua frowned, put half of the pickled melon into his mouth, ate it in two bites, and then said leisurely: "I just gave you a dollar."
Mei curled her lips and turned to look to the side.
There were also Qi people from wealthy families who took out the dry food they had prepared, which made the ordinary Qi soldiers who had nothing to eat around them salivate at the sight.
Mei stood on tiptoe and looked to the side and behind. He saw the martial arts warriors resting on the ground in the distance, eating food.
Someone held a pig leg in his hand and cut it off piece by piece with a sword. He drank a sip of wine and ate a bite of raw meat, which was very enjoyable.
"These big guys eat really well."
Mei swallowed again, feeling hungry, her legs were a little weak, and her grip on the halberd became a little looser.
…
The lookout point for the Qi army's rear formation.
"How come the people of Qin are so brave?"
Tian Chong threw the finished wine in his hand to the ground and looked at the battlefield in the distance, his brows already furrowed.
The strength of the Qin army exceeded his expectations.
After the Qi army made great efforts and attacked with bravery, but failed to break the Qin army's battle formation, the Qi army has been at a disadvantage in this battle.
Although there were military judges behind them who killed the fleeing soldiers and prevented the soldiers in the front from escaping, the Qi army still inevitably retreated.
Especially in the afternoon, Qi's soldiers became increasingly frustrated and listless.
On the contrary, the Qin army became more and more brave. Especially the reserve troops of the Qin army sent to the battlefield were like tigers descending from the mountain, running like wolves and squirrels, very ferocious.
Facing the Qin army's strong counterattack, the Qi army retreated steadily, its formation was broken, and the battle line was constantly pressed back.
Even if Da Sima continuously dispatched reserve troops to support, it was still difficult to stop the decline of the Qi army.
"My 70,000-strong army cannot defeat his 50,000-strong army?"
Tian Chong gritted his teeth. He and his army used more troops to attack the smaller ones, but even in the face-to-face confrontation, they were even beaten back again and again.
This result is unexpected, but it is reasonable.
"The Qin is really a land of tigers and wolves. No wonder those strategists often say that the men of Shandong wear armor to fight, while the people of Qin donate their armor and trousers to approach the enemy, grabbing heads on the left and prisoners on the right. The Qin soldiers are the same as those in Shandong.
Death is like Meng Benzhi and a coward, weighed down by gravity, like Wuhuo Zhi and a baby."
Xiangfuji shook his head and sighed: "Although these words are exaggerated and pretentious, when I see them today, I can see that the Qin people are very brave."
Hearing this, Tian Chong's face darkened.
Seeing that Da Sima's face was not good-looking, Xiangfu Ji changed the subject and comforted him: "Don't worry, Da Sima. Our army still has 80,000 soldiers who have not moved yet. The available troops are far superior to those of Qin. This battle can still be won."
Machine."
Tian Chong's face turned darker.
Compared to Xiang Fuji, who was a talker, Tian Chong, as the commander-in-chief, knew very well that although the remaining Qi army reserves numbered 80,000, they seemed to be a very large number.
But in fact, most of the 80,000 soldiers were soldiers who came at the end. These people had not been trained and tempered, and their combat effectiveness was not as good as the soldiers sent to the battlefield before. He did not want to use them until the end.
"The bravery of the Qin army is indeed beyond my expectation. If it is delayed any longer, the situation will be over. However, I still have an elite force, and now is the time to use this killer move."
Thinking of his trump card, Tian Chong's face glowed rosy again.
His confidence is back.
"Send an order to Tian Dan and order him to send 10,000 men to cover the martial arts warriors in our army, attack the Qin army from the north, and capture Qin's commander-in-chief Dazhu!"
Tian Chong's voice was generous and he gave the order to use martial arts.
"only."
The short soldiers immediately took the order and went down.
After a while, Tian Dan, who was responsible for the actual mobilization of troops, received the order from Da Sima.
"Da Sima is finally going to use martial arts warriors."
Tian Dan breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the current situation on the battlefield was very unfavorable to the Qi army. If this situation continued, a defeat would be inevitable sooner or later.
Fortunately, there is still hope for the war. Da Sima uses this elite force to attack the Qin army successfully, then the Qi army will still have a chance to win.
Tian Dan did not hesitate. After receiving the order, he rode up to the thousand martial arts warriors in person.
I saw these thousand people resting on the ground, chatting and laughing with each other, drinking and eating meat, or carefully wiping the weapons in their hands with silk cloth.
These people are all eight-foot-tall strong men, with burly builds, broad shoulders and round waists.
The eight-footed men of this era would have been around 1.85 meters tall in later generations. Standing in front of those civilian soldiers with an average height of 1.6 meters, he was as majestic as a giant.
They are heroes recruited by Tian Chong from more than 70 cities in Qi with a population of several million. They are truly one-in-a-thousand.
Then, after being trained in the ancient methods of Da Sima, I was able to reach the point where it is said in the history books that "it can be lifted like a bird, moved like thunder and lightning, and sent out like wind and rain. Don't get in front of it, don't harm those behind it." In a duel with ordinary people, all
One can fight ten.
Tian Dan pictured in his mind the image of a thousand brave men charging in groups.
Although there are only a thousand people, there are tens of thousands of people.
"Everyone of you is a warrior of our Qi land. Since joining the army, the Grand Commander has treated each other with courtesy. Every meal has meat and wine. There is no need to grudge the expense of silk and silk and the pleasure of the daughter-in-law."
Tian Dan's high-pitched voice attracted the attention of the thousands of people.
He loudly said: "Now the Qin people are advancing eastward and want to destroy our Qi country. When the country is in danger, the great Sima will use all the kings as warriors to capture the Qin people's army, capture and kill the Qin generals and then return. The kings can
Dare to go!"
As Tian Dan's voice fell, the thousand strong men burst into laughter.
"It's just the Qin army. Look at Naigong killing him three times in and three out!"
"I will fight into the tens of thousands of troops and take the head of Qin general Zhao Tuo to repay the great Sima!"
"In a moment, Nai Gong will chop off Zhao Tuo's head and give him a kick!"
"Hahaha……"
A thousand martial arts warriors talked and laughed freely, each holding a weapon and walking forward.
In the north, there are still 10,000 Qi troops waiting for them. They will cover these 1,000 warriors to attack the Qin formation and make a last-ditch effort.
Tian Chong stood at a high place.
He saw the martial arts warriors on whom he had pinned all his hopes join the 10,000 Qi army.
They drove out from the rear of the Qi army, and under the cover of chariots and cavalry, bypassed the frontal battlefield and ran towards the Qin army's rear formation from the north.
"Zhao Tuo doesn't have as many troops as I do. If he sees me sending people to attack, he will send at most 10,000 people to stop me, or even less."
"Even if there are still ten thousand people, our Qi army has martial arts warriors. When fighting, they will break through the blocking Qin army like a sword cutting through rotten bamboo. In this way, they can penetrate directly into the flanks of the Qin army and break into its center!"
Tian Chong's face turned red and his eyes shone.
As long as this strange force can break into the Qin army, even if it cannot capture and kill Zhao Tuo, the Qin army will surely fall into chaos.
There was chaos in the rear, and the Qin army on the front battlefield was unsteady in fighting spirit.
That is the opportunity for the Qi army to win!
At that time, Tian Chong was able to overwhelm the army, defeat the Qin army in one go, and win the battle!
Tian Chong's eyes were like torches, looking into the distance.
"Zhao Tuo, I have taken out my killing move, can you take it?"
