After speaking clearly, the brigade commander asked: "How can Yue people listen to us?"
Shi knocked on the wooden board and said: "Soldiers are deceitful. Deceive, force attack, charge, before we are forced to fight according to their plan, or force or trick them to act according to our plan, then we can He can be regarded as a qualified general. For example, Taigong, Sun Wu, and Wu Yuan, they are all focused on the use of the magic and adapt to the situation, which is beyond our comparison."
"Before the brigades assemble tomorrow morning, they will tell the company commanders and representatives of each company the news, brainstorming, and exerting their initiative. Sometimes the joy is not conveyed smoothly. You have to understand the intention of the above to know what kind of decision you should make."
"This is the same principle as our righteousness in the world. We must know what kind of paradise we want to achieve before we can know how to do it. The purpose must be clear so that we will not be overwhelmed when making decisions."
I talked a lot with everyone, and after making sure that everyone understood the general strategy, I let everyone go back to rest.
…………
The next morning.
After the Vietnamese army had breakfast, they assembled and marched forward, and the volunteers were already in full swing.
Because Yue people don't know that the Mohists can't sustain a long-term confrontation, but they know that they can't last long, and because Yue Wang Yi has followed Shi's ass for two or three months and knows the terrifying siege and mobility of the Yishi, so they must Choose to attack.
King Yi of Yue was not a mediocre person. This place was all plains. After roughly observing the formation of volunteers, he immediately made a decision.
Yue Wang Yi also secretly lamented that the formation of the volunteers, with the water and the fort as the support point, can protect his flanks and back.
The density of the volunteer army's army formation is very high. Judging from the same number of people, the formation of the volunteer army is tighter and the battle line is narrower.
If there were no fortresses and rivers, then King Yida of Yue could expand the width of his army and thin the front line, thus forming an advantage on both wings.
But the current situation makes it seem pointless to have two wings.
The left wing is the river, and although the volunteers did not line up completely facing the river, the left wing did not have room to outflank.
Take the risk of letting some of the troops cross the river, waiting for the opportunity to make a flank raid?However, the righteous teacher is not Song Xianggong, the extremely shameless insulting words yesterday proved that the Mohist people must be gentlemen who can "strike unrighteousness halfway through".
On the right wing, the volunteers did not stick close to the fortress, leaving enough distance, but the right wing did not have much room to display.Even if the volunteer army's left wing collapses, they can still rely on the fortress to continue defending.
After observation, King Yi of Yue was convinced that the best tactical plan was to place the gentleman army in the center, the main force of the chariots on his right flank, and the left flank of the righteous division.
Once a breakthrough, whether it is the Junzi army or the chariot, can divide the volunteer army into two.
One of them might escape into the fortress, and then they can attack the city by besieging the city. As long as this mobile force is resolved, then there is no need to worry about their logistics line being cut off.
After the other part broke through in the center, it was separated from the fortress, and the water blocked their space for movement. There was just a curved river behind them, so this divided volunteer army could be completely wiped out.
Therefore, the Vietnamese army placed the gentleman army in the middle army, the chariots were on the right side of the gentleman army, the main force was concentrated slightly to the right of the center, and most of the archers were placed on the right side of the middle army.
Marching with drums, slowly approaching the battlefield.
…………
In the formation of volunteers, it is suitable on the high platform of the mound, and the flag of Mohism is flying high.
Looking at the smoke and dust in the distance, Shi Shi was also extremely nervous.
In this decisive battle, the Mo family mobilized all the forces they could use, and they had to go around outside for three months, forcing the Vietnamese army to seize every opportunity to fight in the field, and even used water and forts as double supports. The perfect battlefield.
If this battle cannot be won, the Mo family's situation will be extremely ugly, and I will never get my hands on the position of giant again.
Although he was nervous, what he felt most emotionally was that the number of cavalry was too small.
If there are more cavalry, there is no need to think about choosing a battlefield at all. Even if one's own formation is dense and the front line is too short, there is nothing to be afraid of.
The shorter the men, the greater the chance of the cavalry maneuvering to the rear.
The more people dare to stretch, as long as their own cavalry breaks through on the flanks, the thinner front can be easily divided, so why use the river and the fort as double supports?
Nowadays, the left and right flanks will not be outflanked, but the corresponding Yueren's front has also become thicker, and it is easy for the central army of one's own side to be penetrated.
Since the Yue people had completed the deployment, the appropriate adjustments were made here.
Our side is close to the right flank of Lushui. At this time, we have concentrated six brigades, all cavalry, and 25 light artillery pieces.
This side is actually the flank that least needs cavalry cover, and it is also the side that is least likely to allow cavalry to turn around and attack.
However, if you want to force the Yue people to continue to shorten the battle line to support their left wing and compress the troops to the river bank in a short time, you have to deploy the cavalry here, quickly rushing away from the Yue people's army formation, and panicking the Yue king. Successfully mobilized Yueren.
All the large-caliber artillery were in the Chinese army, but the main force of the Chinese army were the brigades of Pengcheng, Liu and Tengdi. Although they were supported by veterans and Mohists, their combat effectiveness was definitely not as good as that of the brigades in Peixian County.
As the reserve team was the Mohist elite brigade, plus the first and fourth brigades from Peixian County, as well as those rangers and tourists who came to "help righteousness".
On the one hand, it is convenient to mobilize, on the other hand, if the Chinese army is defeated by the Yue people, it can also make up for it.
Although the left wing is not as elite as the right wing, it is also a unit with higher combat effectiveness and assessment than the Chinese army. Eleven light artillery are deployed on the left wing.
Although the left wing is suitable for the cavalry to turn around excitedly and has a lot of space, it is suitable for fear that the infantry will not be able to keep up if the cavalry is turned around too early, or the Yue people will collapse first, and the cavalry cannot be exposed first to make the Yue people aware of the danger.
Although I don't know how the Yue people set up their formations, we have to put ourselves in the shoes of King Yi of Yue and think about it.
The best way for the Yue people is naturally to break through from the central army or from the left flank of their own side. Otherwise, if they break through from the direction of the river, their side will still have a fortress as the support point of the army formation. In the event of a collapse, the worst case is to withdraw to the fort and stick to it, and the mobile force is still there.
The chaos of the previous few months was a psychological battle with Yue Wang Yi.
Let Yue Wangyi worry about the mobility and siege ability of the righteous army, so he would choose to wipe out the idea instead of defeating the city in the decisive battle. Otherwise, the threat of logistics will still exist, and the reputation of the Mo family's defense is there. It is not easy to attack If the mobile force is not destroyed, then the siege is meaningless. The back road may be copied at any time, so why not siege?
At this time, the Yueren had already marched one mile away, and just when they were about to order the artillery to prepare, they saw three chariots pouring out from the opposite Yueren army, galloping in the direction of the Central Army.
Shi Xin said, what is this, and asked a Mohist who was originally from Yue next to him.
The Mohist looked at it and said, "This is for the teacher."
Shi also has been studying in this era for almost ten years, and he immediately understood what he was going to do.
The so-called teacher is precisely the martial spirit of nobles and the tradition of chariot battles of nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period.
To the teacher, the challenge is also to send brave generals to seize the flag to single out. Normally, if the nobles are fighting, they will also send famous generals and warriors to fight with them.
"Ke Yin" said: In the battle of Muye in the past, King Wu sent Shangfu and Bofu to teach.In other words, let Jiang Ziya personally lead more than a hundred warriors to challenge.
The Mohist, who was born in a small nobleman of the Yue people, said again: "To the teacher, you may return with the imperial flag and mount the base. Or shoot from the left with a scorpion, take the bridle on behalf of the imperial, dismount two horses, and return with the martingale thrown off. Or enter from the right." Fortify, break off, and return the captives.”
"These three vehicles are to imitate the courage of Uncle Xu, Uncle Le and Uncle She."
Seeing the three galloping chariots in disbelief, seeing the smoke and dust rising, he laughed and said, "Go to the fucking battle of the nobles, Kyushu Paradise doesn't need this thing. Whoever sends the warriors to fight them one-on-one, silly ?"
"Pass the order, the artillery of the Chinese army is ready to bombard the Yue army formation, and the musketeers will shoot down these three vehicles for me. Once they are knocked down, they will immediately beat the drums to cheer!"
The messenger galloped away, and then called another messenger and said, "Go to the right wing and inform Meng Sheng, and tell him again, you must not hit too hard! Although it must be fierce, you must force the Yue people to turn the main force to their left." If you move sideways, you are worried that the left wing will be defeated. But if you hit too hard, you will really penetrate the left wing of Yueren, and this will be impossible! Remember!"
After the orderer repeated it, he hurriedly delivered the order to the right wing.The commander of the right wing is Meng Sheng, and he needs to move quickly to the left wing with a few brigades and cavalry when necessary.The left wing has Gongzaoye, which needs to be defended in the early stage, and in the later stage, the right wing, which is almost all the essence, needs to be commanded as a whole to break through and outflank, compressing the Yue people to the riverside.
After the order was issued, several cannons of the Chinese army that could fire eight catties of iron pellets were already ready, and with a few bangs, they first bombarded the Yueren one mile away.
The Yue people on the three chariots were obviously noble warriors, and their chariot skills were excellent, which made several noble-born Mohists beside them couldn't help applauding.
The off-the-job training since childhood has given the nobles strong driving skills. The vehicles are speeding very fast. Once they approach, they will first use bows and arrows to disperse the formation, and then quickly turn to Yige to attack the enemy.
It's just that since you are brave enough to be a teacher, you have to get close and wait until the infantry on this side is confused, get out of the car and cut off the ear of the dead body, and capture one person to return.
This is the tactics of the nobles, because the pawns are worse than paper. Once they see the chariot rushing towards them, the nobles shoot a few arrows on the chariot, and the pawns may collapse.
In the Battle of Bi, Xu Bolebo became famous for this. He shot arrows fifty paces away, and the disciples panicked, causing a chariot to cut off its ears and take the prisoners, and retreated calmly.
It's a pity that the infantry of the righteous division is not that kind of infantry.
Seeing that the three chariots had rushed within fifty paces, he saw a puff of white smoke coming out from the musketeers in front.
The musketeers of the four companies fired a three-row volley. Although the accuracy of the muskets was not high at this time, at a distance of less than [-] steps, more than [-] muskets were aimed at a target as big as a chariot. Missed?
The three chariots fell to the ground immediately, and two people got up from the carriage, but they also forgot the bravery of the nobles, turned around and ran back, but were hit by the second round of supplementary shots, and fell to the ground immediately .
In the Spring and Autumn Period, perhaps he must have been a warrior who could be remembered in history, but here he is just an unknown generation who was hit by lead bullets.
After the order was delivered, seeing the three chariots being knocked down, the drums rang out to cheer, and the soldiers in the front row shouted "Wan Sheng" with their spears, and the three chariots that charged over were full of disdain. .
They were originally common people, and they were originally a natural fear of the nobles, but with the activities and propaganda of the Mohists, it turned into a natural hatred.
As the story of King Shuqing capturing the King of Chu in Shangqiu spread more and more...strange, why the King of Chu peed his pants when he was scared, and You Yin Zhaozhi wiped his face with urine mud and so on.
Coupled with the stories of Chen Linggong, Qi Yigong, Chuping Wang's daughter-in-law, playing with his daughter-in-law, and having fun with the four of them, it is an overkill method to make the common people feel that princes and nobles are nothing more than that, and the natural sense of fear disappears. After that, there is a fearlessness and disdain, and an equal mentality after breaking through the millennium hierarchy.
Of course, this story was only circulated in secret. Considering the relationship with Chu State, it is not easy to publish it and spread it in writing.
At this time, the artillery of the Chinese army rang out, but there was still no movement on the left and right wings, and they were still waiting for the Yue people to get closer.
Shi looked at the three chariots that had turned into waste on the ground, and thought, "The era of the nobility should come to an end."
He looked at the somewhat blurred right wing, knowing that it was the key.The brigade from Six Fingers is also there, and I have high hopes, and I don't know if they can seize the opportunity in this battle.
(End of this chapter)
After speaking clearly, the brigade commander asked: "How can Yue people listen to us?"
Shi knocked on the wooden board and said: "Soldiers are deceitful. Deceive, force attack, charge, before we are forced to fight according to their plan, or force or trick them to act according to our plan, then we can He can be regarded as a qualified general. For example, Taigong, Sun Wu, and Wu Yuan, they are all focused on the use of the magic and adapt to the situation, which is beyond our comparison."
"Before the brigades assemble tomorrow morning, they will tell the company commanders and representatives of each company the news, brainstorming, and exerting their initiative. Sometimes the joy is not conveyed smoothly. You have to understand the intention of the above to know what kind of decision you should make."
"This is the same principle as our righteousness in the world. We must know what kind of paradise we want to achieve before we can know how to do it. The purpose must be clear so that we will not be overwhelmed when making decisions."
I talked a lot with everyone, and after making sure that everyone understood the general strategy, I let everyone go back to rest.
…………
The next morning.
After the Vietnamese army had breakfast, they assembled and marched forward, and the volunteers were already in full swing.
Because Yue people don't know that the Mohists can't sustain a long-term confrontation, but they know that they can't last long, and because Yue Wang Yi has followed Shi's ass for two or three months and knows the terrifying siege and mobility of the Yishi, so they must Choose to attack.
King Yi of Yue was not a mediocre person. This place was all plains. After roughly observing the formation of volunteers, he immediately made a decision.
Yue Wang Yi also secretly lamented that the formation of the volunteers, with the water and the fort as the support point, can protect his flanks and back.
The density of the volunteer army's army formation is very high. Judging from the same number of people, the formation of the volunteer army is tighter and the battle line is narrower.
If there were no fortresses and rivers, then King Yida of Yue could expand the width of his army and thin the front line, thus forming an advantage on both wings.
But the current situation makes it seem pointless to have two wings.
The left wing is the river, and although the volunteers did not line up completely facing the river, the left wing did not have room to outflank.
Take the risk of letting some of the troops cross the river, waiting for the opportunity to make a flank raid?However, the righteous teacher is not Song Xianggong, the extremely shameless insulting words yesterday proved that the Mohist people must be gentlemen who can "strike unrighteousness halfway through".
On the right wing, the volunteers did not stick close to the fortress, leaving enough distance, but the right wing did not have much room to display.Even if the volunteer army's left wing collapses, they can still rely on the fortress to continue defending.
After observation, King Yi of Yue was convinced that the best tactical plan was to place the gentleman army in the center, the main force of the chariots on his right flank, and the left flank of the righteous division.
Once a breakthrough, whether it is the Junzi army or the chariot, can divide the volunteer army into two.
One of them might escape into the fortress, and then they can attack the city by besieging the city. As long as this mobile force is resolved, then there is no need to worry about their logistics line being cut off.
After the other part broke through in the center, it was separated from the fortress, and the water blocked their space for movement. There was just a curved river behind them, so this divided volunteer army could be completely wiped out.
Therefore, the Vietnamese army placed the gentleman army in the middle army, the chariots were on the right side of the gentleman army, the main force was concentrated slightly to the right of the center, and most of the archers were placed on the right side of the middle army.
Marching with drums, slowly approaching the battlefield.
…………
In the formation of volunteers, it is suitable on the high platform of the mound, and the flag of Mohism is flying high.
Looking at the smoke and dust in the distance, Shi Shi was also extremely nervous.
In this decisive battle, the Mo family mobilized all the forces they could use, and they had to go around outside for three months, forcing the Vietnamese army to seize every opportunity to fight in the field, and even used water and forts as double supports. The perfect battlefield.
If this battle cannot be won, the Mo family's situation will be extremely ugly, and I will never get my hands on the position of giant again.
Although he was nervous, what he felt most emotionally was that the number of cavalry was too small.
If there are more cavalry, there is no need to think about choosing a battlefield at all. Even if one's own formation is dense and the front line is too short, there is nothing to be afraid of.
The shorter the men, the greater the chance of the cavalry maneuvering to the rear.
The more people dare to stretch, as long as their own cavalry breaks through on the flanks, the thinner front can be easily divided, so why use the river and the fort as double supports?
Nowadays, the left and right flanks will not be outflanked, but the corresponding Yueren's front has also become thicker, and it is easy for the central army of one's own side to be penetrated.
Since the Yue people had completed the deployment, the appropriate adjustments were made here.
Our side is close to the right flank of Lushui. At this time, we have concentrated six brigades, all cavalry, and 25 light artillery pieces.
This side is actually the flank that least needs cavalry cover, and it is also the side that is least likely to allow cavalry to turn around and attack.
However, if you want to force the Yue people to continue to shorten the battle line to support their left wing and compress the troops to the river bank in a short time, you have to deploy the cavalry here, quickly rushing away from the Yue people's army formation, and panicking the Yue king. Successfully mobilized Yueren.
All the large-caliber artillery were in the Chinese army, but the main force of the Chinese army were the brigades of Pengcheng, Liu and Tengdi. Although they were supported by veterans and Mohists, their combat effectiveness was definitely not as good as that of the brigades in Peixian County.
As the reserve team was the Mohist elite brigade, plus the first and fourth brigades from Peixian County, as well as those rangers and tourists who came to "help righteousness".
On the one hand, it is convenient to mobilize, on the other hand, if the Chinese army is defeated by the Yue people, it can also make up for it.
Although the left wing is not as elite as the right wing, it is also a unit with higher combat effectiveness and assessment than the Chinese army. Eleven light artillery are deployed on the left wing.
Although the left wing is suitable for the cavalry to turn around excitedly and has a lot of space, it is suitable for fear that the infantry will not be able to keep up if the cavalry is turned around too early, or the Yue people will collapse first, and the cavalry cannot be exposed first to make the Yue people aware of the danger.

At this time, the Yueren had already marched one mile away, and just when they were about to order the artillery to prepare, they saw three chariots pouring out from the opposite Yueren army, galloping in the direction of the Central Army.
Shi Xin said, what is this, and asked a Mohist who was originally from Yue next to him.

"These three vehicles are to imitate the courage of Uncle Xu, Uncle Le and Uncle She."
Seeing the three galloping chariots in disbelief, seeing the smoke and dust rising, he laughed and said, "Go to the fucking battle of the nobles, Kyushu Paradise doesn't need this thing. Whoever sends the warriors to fight them one-on-one, silly ?"
