The Battle of Nanji Water
Chapter 561 The Battle of Nanji Water (End)
Cavalry would not charge at such a distance that the horses would not be able to bear it.
You can only run at a slow pace first, and when you gradually accelerate to a distance of dozens of steps from the enemy's line, increase your horse's speed to the maximum.
Jogging can maintain the formation, can accumulate horsepower, and can also allow the horses to maintain the formation of the previous jogging to the greatest extent when they are charged at full speed.
There are not many cavalry companies with spears in the volunteer army, because the training is too difficult, and they are basically veterans who have overdue their service.
The impact of the spear is easy to break, and these cavalry who charge with the spear have to train a series of things such as swordsmanship, slashing and killing.
Although Qi has no regular cavalry this time, and there are not many princes with stirrup cavalry in the whole world, as the elite cavalry, these people still have to practice cavalry hedging, which may not be used for several years.
But today, the spear cavalry company in the front row only needs to use the two skills they have learned, "charging with a spear" and "slashing with an iron sword", and it is enough.
The sound of the horses stepping on the ground was rumbling like an earthquake, as if the ground was trembling.
The cavalry officer in the front row saw the grass under his feet retreating quickly, raised his head and glanced at the loose army formation of the Qi people, and some Qi people had already started to flee backwards.
As the distance got closer, the officer ordered: "Full speed! Impact!"
The riders slammed the iron spikes on the back of the leather boots into the belly of the steeds who usually acted like their partners. The warmed up and accelerated horses increased their speed to the maximum.
The rider in the front row stood on the stirrups with both feet, his thigh muscles collapsed tightly and hard like a stone, his body rose and fell with the horse's back, and his thick wrists maintained the trembling spear.
A veteran who has been serving since the Battle of Lushui pointed his spear at a panicked soldier of the Qi army. After a flash, the veteran felt that it should be a poor peasant from Qi, and felt a little emotional in his heart. .
He didn't turn his head to see if he was stabbed, but he knew that he must have stabbed into the chest of that poor peasant from Qi just based on the feeling of his hand just now.
The spear had already been let go, and he didn't bow his head. Instead, he drew the iron sword from the saddle with a movement that he had long been used to, as if his left hand could touch his advantage with his eyes closed.
The previous order was not to slash and kill after the breakthrough, but to go directly past the scattered Qi people and regroup under a big tree in front.
The officers carried a few strands of flags on their backs, and the backbone of the company also had them. They were the flags leading the way. The veterans just looked at the direction of those flags and steered the horses.
There was a Qi soldier running away covering his head in front of him. The veteran turned his horse's head almost subconsciously so that the horse was close to the left side of the Qi man. His body bent slightly, and the sharp iron sword slashed heavily The Qi man retracted his sword with a slight swipe of his neck, without looking back, and followed the flag fluttering in front of him.
The cavalry broke through first, and the infantry broke through the Qi people's formation almost immediately after.
Those elite Daredevil Momen were hardly surrounded by the Qi people and fought hard. The assault of the middle and flank cavalry had shocked the Qi people's infantry. By the time the subsequent spearmen rushed over, the Qi army had already collapsed.
It was like a dam that was about to be submerged by the autumn water. The breakthrough at this point on the south side was like a hole dug in the dam, and the entire left wing of the Qi people had been shaken across the board.
This is not a fierce battle, neither anxious nor tragic, only swift as thunder.
When the follow-up cavalry rushed through the gap, the Qi army had given up resistance, and the voice of Qi language was resounding everywhere on the battlefield.
"Raise your hand and don't kill! The army has been defeated!"
Last night's propaganda, today's onslaught, and the thunder just now, the people of Qi who had already lost their fighting spirit squatted on the ground holding their weapons high. They didn't choose to escape, because it was meaningless to escape, and it would be easier to survive this way.
By the time Shi Shi arrived on horseback, the four cavalry companies that had hit the first wave had already regrouped in formation and charged at the panicked Qi army, and more than a dozen subsequent cavalry companies had also passed through the gap. .
Under the yelling of the officers, the infantry regrouped, opened their ranks, and swept northward.
At the appropriate location, more than 3000 Qi people surrendered.
Originally, these Qi people were panicked, but after surrendering, they were much safer.
Someone on the battlefield shouted for the Qi people who had been captured in the most battle to appease their companions, explain the Mohist policy, and left two companies to guard the Qi people's prisoners.
There are some things that cannot be said in the army, those Qi people who have been captured once can now speak with confidence.
Familiar local accents, trusted partners, friends who share the same robes and food... Their words quickly let the people of Qi who were still a little nervous let go of the last trace of anxiety.
A Qi man who was captured once even asked the guarding soldiers in the unique Sishang dialect that he had learned when he was captured, and said to the guarding soldiers: "Hey, soldiers of the Mohist school, are there any Food? You have been attacking for a day, and you shot in the morning, we didn’t eat much, and now we are very hungry.”
The battle here is not fierce, and the Mozhe company guarding the team didn't even have much blood on it. Hearing the strange accent of these people, he smiled and said: "If you surrender earlier, you won't be hungry long ago. Why do you want to fight?" What do you think you are planning? What benefits can you get? The king will not give you a piece of land even if he conquers it..."
The Qi people showed their rotten teeth, and smiled wryly: "I can't do it. If you surrender early, if you don't win, my family will suffer. My father will be forced to work, and my wife will be a prostitute."
After he finished speaking, he whispered again: "But when I fired the crossbow just now, I raised Wangwang Mountain..."
The Mohist soldier sighed, touched his arms, and then thought of throwing all the dry food bags into the woods before the assault, and said a little embarrassedly: "Now I don't have anything to eat. But you know the rules of our Mohist , there will be something to eat in a while."
The two began to chat, and there was the sound of cannons in the distance, but the two people who were hostile before talked about the farming and rowing, just like fellow villagers.
They are all in Kyushu, only a few hundred miles apart, the weather is the same in spring and autumn, and there is no difference in farming and farming. Aristocrats can talk about etiquette, music, and poetry, and peasants also have their common language...
…………
Qi Zhongjun.
Doctor Pingyin collapsed on the carriage, muttering with half-closed eyes: "It's over...it's over! The [-] army is here!"
"As far as Lixia in the east and Xueling in the west, the Mohists can go wherever they want, and attack any city they want! Pingyin has no soldiers to defend, and Linzi is at stake..."
From the moment the first Mohist division and cavalry appeared in a column on the south side, Doctor Pingyin knew he was defeated, and he didn't even feel lucky.
That was the main attack direction of the Mo family. After more than a day of fighting, the Mo family had been lying to him. Finally, half an hour ago, he was deceived and transferred all the remaining troops that could be maintained to the right army.
The left army is empty and has no soldiers to use. Once the Mohists break through, it will be a flat river, and the cavalry can go straight to the central army.
Once the reserve force, which was originally solid like a tortoise, moved, it was impossible to maintain the original solid formation.
The collapse of the left wing and the collapse of the front of the central army were only a matter of moments.
The army gathered in the right army, and it was impossible to turn from offense to defense. The Mohist cavalry was like a hot sword cutting into suet. With just a light charge, a Qi brigade that was supporting north was disintegrated. Organize an effective defense.
Doctor Pingyin now knows that what the right army is facing is not the main force of the Mohists, at least not the direction of the main attack.
However, the army gathered on the right side, and for nearly half an hour, the left wing of the volunteer army, which was said to be the end of the strong wind, remained motionless.
Half an hour ago, the right army started to counterattack. In the camp at the foot of the mountain, the Mohists had three brigades with numerous artillery.
Go to the south at the junction of the right army and the central army. After the Qi army approached, the soldiers there quickly formed an array, the number of which was only two thousand, forming three large formations.
The Qi army of the three brigades attacked on three sides, and the north side might be attacked by the volunteers under the hill.
More than 2000 people took turns to go into battle, that is to say, [-] volunteer infantry used the formation to the extreme. With three times the force, they couldn't break the formation for half an hour.
Among the three character-shaped large formations are the musketeers and artillerymen of the righteous division. Every time they want to attack from the gap, the artillerymen and musketeers will fire a volley.
The spearmen who formed the formation would not retreat, and would not disperse if they did not pursue. The Qi army surrounded on three sides was helpless.
Doctor Pingyin originally thought that there must be a suitable place to command. He had to send all his forces to support the strength of the right army because of the swift and flowing offensive before. In the end, Doctor Pingyin didn't know that it was just the Mohist volunteers until there was a problem on the southern line. A general, not a coach.
Under such a gap, Doctor Pingyin's heart was ashamed, and he was full of fear for the righteous teacher, and he was unable to fight any more.
But even if his mind doesn't break down, even if he is as strong as a rock and his heart is like copper and iron, what can he do at this time?
The right army turned to the offensive, and the onslaught could not stop, making no progress.
The left wing had collapsed, and in an instant, the entire army had been shaken.
Except for the elite private soldiers around them, the rest of the troops had been mobilized before and marched towards the right army. It was impossible to stop and turn to the whole formation in a hurry.
And even if the Mohists broke through from the left flank in the whole formation, the brigades of the Qi army could not take care of each other because they supported the right flank. fate.
If the formation is not complete, you cannot fight.If you don't fight, you can't fight.
Besides, the people of Qi are afraid that not many people are willing to fight to the death.
Doctor Pingyin was already numb, his [-] army fought against the Mohist [-], but he didn't even take down a single brigade.
From Lixia to Gu and Ah, all the soldiers conscripted from the fiefdoms of the doctors are here. The Mohists wiped out these 6 people. Who can defend those cities?Who can defend those cities without troops under the hands of the Mohists, who are good at attacking and defending cities?
Once Pingyin is broken, the Great Wall is equivalent to nothing, and the passage from Jishui to Linzi is unimpeded.
Doctor Pingyin thought that he might fail since the day he fled from the Mo family, but he never thought that he would lose so thoroughly.
The 3000 army was buried, and the Mo family did not lose a single organized brigade. Doctor Pingyin estimated that the Mo family would lose at most [-] or [-] people, and the army can still fight again.
From yesterday's confrontation to today's defeat, it took only a dozen hours, and he still thought that he could defend for five days, but he didn't want to count that he only saw the dusk once.
The right army is not the Mohist's breakthrough direction at all, but it can forcibly beat the right army's general into a hurry, a feigned attack direction, and the main force that he concentrates, but can't shake those righteous divisions that are at the end of their strength.
If the Mohist disregarded the casualties, their [-] army would have been wiped out at noon yesterday, and thinking about their vision of keeping five days and ten days, it would seem like a joke.
