Chapter 400 Fenglin Volcano
At dawn in the east, the entire Chu army camp was still immersed in tranquility.
On the towering watchtower, two Chu army whistlemen stood in the wind with their swords, their vigilant eyes were constantly patrolling the dark wilderness outside the gate, as if they wanted to find something out from the endless darkness.
At one moment, the short whistleman's ears suddenly twitched twice, turned his head and asked the tall whistleman, "Listen?"
The tall whistleblower listened for a moment, but heard nothing at all. He asked blankly, "Where?"
The short whistleman ignored it, but his ears turned strangely twice, and then his face changed drastically: "English army, I heard the footsteps of the army marching, and a large number of enemy troops are approaching!"
"This is impossible!" the tall whistleman said in disbelief, "Why doesn't the scouts repay you if there is really an enemy army?"
As soon as the tall whistlemen finished speaking, a burst of rapid horse hooves sounded under the night sky ahead, and then dozens of light cavalry of Chu army rushed out of the thick darkness. While speeding past the gate, they rushed to the whistlemen on the watchtower and shouted loudly: "The army of Qi and the army of Huainan are here together..."
"Hurry, blow the trumpet." The tall whistleman shivered for a moment. When he looked back quickly, he saw that the short whistleman had already raised the heavy sound of cow horns. In an instant, the low and distant trumpet had already soared into the sky. The Chu army camp, which had just been immersed in silence, suddenly became noisy, and the battle... is coming.

When Yu Ziqi, Ziche Shi and Xi Qilie came to Bishu's big tent together, they unexpectedly discovered that the curtain of the big tent had been lifted up. Looking inside through the open curtain, they even more unexpectedly discovered that Bishu had been extremely rare to wear the luxurious armor of the general. He was kneeling behind the desk with a look of a look.
Yu Ziqi was surprised, but he still entered the tent with his fists and bowed, "General. The army of Qi is here!"
"There is also the Huainan Army." Zicheshi followed in and said while greeting, "Yingbu finally couldn't hold back."
Xiqilie finally entered the tent, clasped his fists and bowed to Bishu, and asked loudly: "General, do you want to fight?"
"Fight, of course, fight." Bi Shu bowed and replied. Then he said in a calm tone, "The Qi army and the Huainan army came in a fierce manner, how can our army show weakness?" Bi Shu said in a faint tone. "The Great Chu established the country with martial arts, and the Chu people became even more martial. We are not afraid of fighting, but we are afraid of not fighting!"
"Okay, General's words are so exciting." Xiqilie thrust hard and said with a grim voice. "The last general has long been looking forward to fighting with the Qi army and the Huainan army. His grandmother's. I finally have hoped for it today!"
Yu Ziqi and Ziche Master also had cold eyes, and it was obvious that the two of them were eager to fight.
Bi Shuxin pulled out three order arrows from the desk and shouted: "Yu Ziqi, Ziche Shi, Xi Qilie obeyed the order!"
"The last one is here!" The three of them rushed forward and responded with a loud bang.
Bi Shu threw three order arrows to Yu Ziqi and the other three, and then ordered: "Yu Ziqi is the main general, Ziche Shi, and Xiqilie are the deputy generals, each leading 50,000 troops out of the camp and lined up to meet the enemy!"
Yu Ziqi and the other two reached out to catch the arrow, but looked at each other, leaving 50,000 troops to guard the camp. This is understandable, but the Qi army and the Huainan army joined forces to attack, and the general did not take off his horse? Is it really important to guard a large camp? Is it possible that there are Qi army or Huainan army to sneak attack the camp?
Bi Shu didn't explain too much, waved his hand and said, "Go."
"Here!" Yu Ziqi, Ziche Master, and Xi Qilie suppressed his doubts and took the order.
#############
Outside the Chu army camp, the Qi army and the Huainan army have joined forces.
The 100,000 Qi army and 100,000 Huainan army were completely covered by the tide of war in an instant.
Ying Bu left the army and only brought Kuai Che to Qi's **zhong. However, to his disappointment, he did not see Han Xin in the army. He only saw a child and a white-clothed handsome man in his early thirties. After listening to Kuai Che's introduction, he realized that one of the two was Han He, the prince of Qi, and the other was Zhao Yan, a military advisor of Qi.
After seeing the etiquette, Qi Bu asked Han He: "Crown Prince, where is the King of Qi?"
Han He smiled reservedly and replied loudly: "My father has other military affairs, but before leaving, he repeatedly reminded that the King of Huainan is a famous general of the world. In this battle, our Qi army will all listen to the command of the King of Huainan!"
"There is another military service?" Ying Bu's eyes lit up instantly. Obviously, Han Xin came up with some conspiracy, including the Battle of Chen Cang, the Battle of Puban, the Battle of Jingxing, the Battle of Weishui and the Battle of Gaixia. All of them are like this. Han Xin's tricks are always unpredictable. This time, Bi Shu's little boy is in trouble!
Han Hesu pointed to the nest car that had already been set up and said, "King of Huainan, please."
"In this way, I'm not polite." Han Xin was not there, and it was natural for Ying Bu to command the coalition forces of the two countries. Ying Bu got on the nest car and said to Han He. Zhao Yan: "Crown Prince, Military Advisor Zhao, please get on the car together to help me defeat the enemy. In this battle, the coalition forces are only allowed to win but not defeat."
Han He and Zhao Yan naturally would not refuse, and they got on the nest car right now.
When Kuai Che was the last one to step on the nest car, a Qi army strongman closed the door and locked it again. When he turned around and waved his hand, the other four strongmen who had been waiting for the battle began to turn the winch hard. With the quarrel sound of the quarrels, the clutch carriage slowly rose to the high altitude, and the situation on the entire battlefield gradually appeared in front of everyone.
Looking around, I saw the flags in front of me like seas and spears like forests. Tens of thousands of Chu troops had already set up their formations. More Chu soldiers were surging out of the gate and constantly circulating into the huge military formation. At this moment, there was no other existence between heaven and earth except for the vast sea of soldiers like an ant colony on both sides.
Ying Bu looked calm, and he had seen a bigger scene than this.
Han He was so excited that his face flushed, but he felt a little regretful. In such a large battle, his father refused to let him command, but he handed it over to the old man Ying Bu.
#############
Yu Ziqi looked cold and was slowly rising to the sky with the nest car.
Looking down, under his feet, teams of heavy armor of Chu soldiers were lined up in an orderly line and slowly moving forward. These heavy armors of Chu soldiers were tall and strong, all covered with black scales of iron armor. They held large square shields covered with iron in their left hand and cold ring knife in their right hand, like a blocked steel city wall, slowly crushing forward.
On the left and right wings of the heavy armored infantry are teams of light cavalry with bows and spears.
Looking back, rows of spears and long spears pierced the void, forming a large forest of endless spears and spears. Finally, rows of archers holding long bows and carrying arrow bags, the army of more than 100,000 was like a whole, moving forward slowly in an orderly manner according to their usual training, and their slightest success!
There was no horn, no war drum, and no hysterical roar, but Yu Ziqi clearly felt the cold, endless murderous aura. Chu Junjian was all ready...
Finally, the last team of archers also rushed out of the gate and entered the formation.
Yu Ziqi gently raised his right hand, and the personal soldiers behind him quickly raised a triangular flag. The sound of horns suddenly sounded in the Chu army formation. The Chu army, which was slowly moving forward, stopped one after another. Whether it was heavy armored infantry, spear hands, archers or light cavalry, they all stopped, and remained as if they were mountainous!
In front, a larger military formation formed by the Huainan Army and the Qi Army was still advancing.
Suddenly, the two sides were less than two hundred steps apart. In the coalition formation, with Ying Bu's order, teams of archers quickly trot forward, stood behind the heavy armored infantry, and then pulled the bow and shot arrows while walking forward, sprinkling a rain of arrows into the sky ahead.
楚国大军却仍然按兵不动.
Yu Ziqi also did not issue military orders to shoot the archers. The range of 200 steps was not good. In addition to being able to win the lead and causing certain morale damage to the enemy, it could only consume the arrows and archers' physical strength in vain. The Chu army did not need to rely on this to win the lead, and there was no need at all.
Arrows were like rain, and soldiers kept hitting arrows, soldiers kept falling to the ground, moaning, but not panic. The 150,000 Chu soldiers remained motionless, as if they were as mountains!
片刻之后,两国相距已经不足百步.
With the commander looking at the extremely expectant look, Yu Ziqi finally gave the order, and he raised his left and right hands at the same time, clenched his fists and swung it hard forward.
After a pause, Yu Ziqi raised his right hand again and pressed forward gently.
In an instant, the light cavalry on the left and right wings began to slowly move forward, with horses huddled, first taking a slow step, then jogging, and finally running. In less than a moment, the cavalry on both wings had formed two cavalry torrents, sweeping towards the left and right wings of the coalition forces with a surging momentum, like a storm, as fast as the wind!
Almost as the cavalry attacked, the archers in the back formation also trotted behind the heavy armored infantry, and then, with the cover of the infantry's large shield, pulled the bow and shot arrows in the front. With the sound of iron hoofs like the cavalry attacked, a rain of arrows had already spread across the sky and was viciously gathered down the coalition forces.
The rain of arrows fell, and endless wailing sounds suddenly sounded in the coalition formation.
Before the archers could shoot ten arrows, Yu Ziqi raised his hands flat on his chest, and then stretched out flat in front. The two commanders standing behind Yu Ziqi quickly raised the two bloody triangular flags onto the nest cart. The blood-colored flags came out, and the whole army moved forward, and the blood did not flow dry and would not stop fighting!
In an instant, tens of thousands of Chu soldiers broke through the flood in the dike, crushing the coalition forces dozens of steps ahead with the sound of overwhelming shouts. Their momentum was like the fierce fire, unstoppable, and invasion was like fire!
Chapter completed!
