Why Victory
Chapter 632 Why Victory ([-])
Tian Wu thought he was in control, but it was really like a god's help.
Three days later, news came that the main force of the Mo family and the captured Qi army demolished the city wall of Pingyang, and then the army went north to Yingyi.
The city of Dongmou has not been broken for a long time. The nobles of Feidi and those who bear blood debts are desperately resisting. There are not many soldiers in Gongzao. Although the city wall is crumbling, it has been unable to break through.
Dongmu is close to water, but the Mohists uphold morality and don't flood the city with floods, which is a bit like Song Xianggong's idiot, but it also created a chance for Tian Wu to escape.
When the cronies were so excited to hear the news, Tian Wu laughed again and again.
The doctors in Judi have been in touch for a long time. As long as the soldiers from Jimo and Judi are available, then even if he abandons Linzi and retreats to Jiaodong or the south of Jiaoyi, as long as he can ascend to the position of Marquis of Qi, his life will be saved.
There are still dead men by my side, and when the time comes to find a few "loyalty", thinking about some loyal men who are not punishable by the emperor to die for him, like the story of Marquis Wei, then nothing will happen.
Now the main force of the Mohists is in Yingyi, and the Ministry of Public Construction and Metallurgy is in Dongmou. There have been at least five days of time left. The only thing standing in front of them is a part of the Mohist division, and a brigade of soldiers stationed in Yishui.
The Mohist brigade had no more than 500 people, which was smaller than Qi's 2000-member brigade, and Tian Wu still had more than [-] people in his hands, so he took the road to escape, and he must be able to escape.
After confirming again and again that Shi had already gone north, and that he would soon come into contact with the Linzi Legion under Yingyi, and could not turn back, Tian Wu finally made the decision to slip away.
"The harness is suitable for soldiers, and I like to outflank the flanks, especially in field battles. The martial knights of the Mohist school are all elites. Although the infantry are brave, they are not in a hurry to pursue and pursue. When he is winning a battle in the city, the martial knights will not let go. The big thing is settled. !"
"Without further delay, head east immediately."
After the order was issued, the last 8000 elites, private families, noble private soldiers and cronies abandoned the city, searched all the food in the city, and rushed out of the city to the east.
As soon as they left, the scouts of the Mo family discovered their movements and reported back immediately.
Under the city of Dongmou, Gongzaoye, who had red and swollen eyes and hadn't slept well for several days, listened to the news expressionlessly, shook his head and said, "The army is all winning the town, and I have no power to do it. It's fair to say that there are no eggs under a nest, Linzi The legion is destroyed, and these thousands of people have fled, but they can't make any waves."
"Besides, Yutu's brigade is still in Yishui, and the division of a brigade can always stop it."
The Mohists present did not know that Tian Wu was among the 8000 people, and even if they knew, it was impossible to give up the established strategy for Tian Wu.
One of the slogans of the Mo family to punish Qi this time is Tian Wu's massacre of the city.
However, a slogan is a slogan, but Tian Wu is not the primary goal of the Mohists. The annihilation of the Linzi Army and the disintegration of the Qi State have just stabilized after 20 years of civil strife.
Meng Sheng was still slightly worried about this news, and said: "Thousands of Qi soldiers are fleeing. Although they don't want to fight, if they encounter obstacles, they will fight to the death. Yu Tu's brigade is still a bit difficult to intercept. .”
"Can you squeeze out some more people to support?"
He knew that this problem was difficult to solve. Dongmou City was not too difficult to attack, but after all, they lacked all kinds of weapons to break the city, and they were just a partial division at the beginning.
Now Dongmou City is on the verge of collapse, but the nobles in the city who bear blood debts and are famous for punishing injustice are desperately resisting, and there is a "heroic" scene of noble children and dead soldiers fighting back with swords together.
Apart from the main force of a Mohist division, most of the people attacking the city were spontaneous or organized Fei people. Their tactical level is very low and their training is insufficient. It is impossible to expect them to capture Dongmou.
Gong Zaoye hesitated for a long time, then finally shook his head and said: "Dongmou City has to be destroyed. This is not only a military priority, but also to give an explanation to those crying widows and old people in Wucheng. Now they are trapped in the city so easily. Surrounded on all sides, just to prevent them from leaving.”
"The purpose of attacking Pingyang is to cut off the way for the Linzi army to flee south, so he can encircle three quarters, or even attack one side. What he wants is the city. But what I want is the heads of those people in the city."
"Ten to encircle and five to attack. My troops are already insufficient, so I can no longer divide them."
"The decisive battle is about to take place over there, and there is no way to tell the strength of the troops. The best pursuit is cavalry. If he wants to fight in the field, how can he do without cavalry?"
Meng Sheng thought for a long time, and said: "That's it, send someone to send a message to Yu Tu. If the enemy flees in small groups, he will intercept them. If they attack in formation, it's best to let them go."
In this era of battles, the victory and defeat can be determined within one day at most. Meng Sheng considered that it would take at least five days after the battle of Yingyi was completed before the pursuit.It will take a while to break the city on my own side. It is impossible to support Yutu when the battle is over. Since these 8000 people are not necessary, there is no need to let Yutu's brigade fight to the death without support .
The two summed it up, and then settled down with the rest of the people, and asked the messenger Xingye to pass the news to Yu Tu in the name of the Eastern Front coach.
…………
Yishui.
In the battle of Li Nong and Lushui in Niu Lanyi, and the partner company of King Shuqing captured the King of Yue, Yu Tu, who is now the commander of the brigade, was frowning.
He has already read the letters sent by the messengers. In more than ten years, he has grown from an illiterate peasant who thinks writing is a magical thing only nobles can master to a Mohist officer who can write a thousand or eight hundred characters. Naturally, he could understand the content of the letter.
His promotion in the volunteer division was relatively fast, and many people laughed at him for being lucky, because their company captured the King of Yue in Lushui, and their brigade representative was Liuzhi at that time, and King Shuqing was tired from fighting again. People who want to go home and live, it seems that this is what led to his promotion to brigade commander.
He didn't care, and kept working hard.
The brigade he was in charge of didn't have the foundation of the Mohists like the first division when they started, but their determination to dare to fight was no worse than other brigades.
The cause of the battle between Qi and Mo was that their brigade changed defenses to the border of Zangdi.The ferment of public opinion caused by the friction at the border seemed accidental, but in fact it was inevitable, because when the Mohist leaders sent them there, they thought something would happen.
Unlike the rest of the Mohist divisions whose soldiers are mostly locals from the new generation of Sishang, his brigade and the divisions at the upper level are mainly serfs who fled from other places.
This is a group of people who have experienced both the sweetness of paradise and the pain of troubled times.
The representatives of the Mohists in the division are also based on the radical self-suffering and extreme school, which can be regarded as the "world school" within the Mohist school.
Because the original background of this teacher is mainly Chu people, Yue people, and Qi people who came to Sishang from all over the world, this can be regarded as a kind of inheritance.
It was precisely because of this that the incident in Fei Guo was inevitable. As long as they were let go, something would happen sooner or later.
But it is precisely because of this inheritance that Yu Tu is now frowning.
Gong Zaoye and Meng Sheng's order was to let them let go of the thousands of enemies, and try their best to just harass them, because it was impossible for reinforcements to arrive.
This is a formal order, and it is also the most beneficial order for the soldiers of the whole brigade.
However, the scouts in the brigade captured several Qi people during their reconnaissance a few days ago, and got a piece of news from a Qi person.
Tian Wu was among the 8000 people, and he raised his flag, and when he was close to Yishui, he swore an oath to follow the example of Zhao Zijun's hero in the past to boost the morale of the army.
This is the news I just got, and it was too late for this news to reach Dong Mou.
Moreover, as soon as the news came out, the backbone of the brigade was immediately furious. The order of punishing injustice is the favorite order of these people these years. Sishang, and even the two systems of those princes who have not been destroyed in Sishang, each does not interfere.
The repressed dissatisfaction was vented with the news of Tian Wu, the main envoy who was massacred in Wucheng, and many companies petitioned collectively, preferring to die in Yishui, but also to stop Tian Wu.
This is exactly what Yu Tu frowned.
Fighting, a brigade without reinforcements, 500 people, can it stop 8000 people?
The above order is to let, but the above does not understand the situation just known, to fight or not to fight?
If we fight, the whole brigade will be defeated. Who will bear the responsibility?
While Yu Tu hesitated, the brigade representative walked up to him and said, "What do you think?"
People with voting rights in the rest of the army looked at Yu Tu one after another. Yu Tu thought for a while and finally said, "My idea is to fight."
"A public policy doesn't know that Tian Wu is here, and I don't know, so the order was issued when Tian Wu was not here. If we decide to carry it out, it will be to ask for a sword. Although innocent, it is actually wrong. .”
"Two things...Tian Wu is the leader of the order to punish unjust, so he should die. The soldiers in the army are furious..."
The representative of the brigade said: "It's no wonder. We came from Wucheng, and you and I have seen the tragedy. The anger in the army has not been a day or two. If we know that Tian Wu is in the Qi army at this time, but we don't fight, I'm afraid it will be difficult for this brigade to take it down."
"If Tian Wu doesn't die, what's the point of benefiting the world? The people of Qi are suffering, well, we can't see it, so we don't care; the people of Chu are suffering, well, we can't see it, and we have to form an alliance with the Chu people for the sake of the overall situation ...We have seen everything in Wucheng, if we don't care about it, how can we talk about benefiting the world?"
The representative of the brigade was a little excited, and Yu Tu asked the rest of the people: "Then what are your opinions?"
The rest said one after another: "It should have been fought."
Yu Tu nodded, took out a piece of paper and handed it to the brigade representative, "Let's write it. If there is a problem, we will take care of it. Then send someone to send the news back immediately. We will hold Tian Wu back. If we can't hold it, we will die." Here, it can be regarded as taking care of the things that harm the world and trying to punish those who have harmed the world, and our wish to benefit the world is not in vain."
