Chapter 336 Breaking the city with surgery but not bloody ([-])

The musketeers who were the first to finish loading in the volunteer division heard a burst of drumming after loading, and they quickly understood the meaning of the snare drum.

This is an order: shoot randomly after loading, then abandon the gun and draw out the short sword or hatchet, and follow the spear array to attack on both sides.

This is an order to attack, and different drumbeats have different meanings.

For example, sometimes the sound of the drum means to continue to reload, reload on the spot after shooting on both sides of the spearmen, and advance alternately.

Sometimes, for example, the sound of the drum means to retreat to the wrong wings, hide under the spears and attack with short swords those who might rush into the spears.

For example, sometimes the sound of the drum means to retreat into the middle of the two phalanxes of spearmen, continue to load and shoot according to orders.

These are all different. It requires the general to make a decision. As a soldier, you only need to obey orders.

But unlike the soldiers of other vassals, they more or less know why they do this, because in addition to learning characters, someone will teach them these things...sometimes they will also talk about farming techniques and the like.

Many musketeers looked at the Yue people on the opposite side of the gunpowder, and thought, "This must be Meng Sheng who realized that the Yue people had broken up and was about to rush into the enemy's line for a hand-to-hand fight. At this time, carrying muskets is useless, so we must rely on courage to fight."

So according to the order, he hooked the matchlock, and after firing the last shot, he threw the heavy musket on the spot, retreated quickly, and drew out the daggers on both sides of the spear array as a cover.

Just as these musketeers thought, Meng Sheng did find that the Yue people had already dispersed.

Those who charged at the front were brave men, but no matter how brave they were, they couldn't withstand the shooting of a one-two-weight lead bullet.

Meng Sheng was very sure of this, because he had seen people kill wild boars with this musket, even wild boars with rough skin and thick flesh, let alone people?Can the bravest man be stronger than the wild boar?

These brave Yue people started to flee in all directions, trying to avoid the front, but once they ran away, those behind who had managed to muster up their courage would also follow and flee.

Meng Sheng knew that to be a general, one must be good at seizing the opportunity of charge, counterattack, defense or flank support, and those who can seize it are qualified generals.

This time, he was carrying the task of the first field battle since the volunteers became an army, and it was a battle that must be won, so there was no need to seek stability at all. What he wanted was to completely defeat the Yue people, let them scatter and escape by swimming Prepare for the capture of cavalry ambushed on both sides of the river bank.

So he ordered the drums to convey the meaning of the musketeers shooting at will and not reloading, and following the spearmen's wings.

The drummer and flute player in the spear array immediately played the extremely fast-paced military music, accompanied by the drumbeat, the leader of the team shouted loudly.

The soldiers in the spear array held up their spears, stepped on their feet, and pushed forward while trying to keep them as even as possible.

They are surrounded by companions, the two wings are mostly elite Mohists or the pawns of volunteers from the past, and the front row is the brave people in the army.

It is not necessary for everyone not to be afraid of death, as long as they are convinced that their partners are by their side, it is enough to explode the power of fearlessness.

Not everyone can see the overall situation of the battlefield. All the soldiers can see is the situation within a few dozen steps in front of them. As long as the people around them are not broken up, as long as no one spreads the news of the army's defeat, they can go all the way to the world. the end.

They could still see the front of the team. General Meng Shengqu waited for the inkmen to move towards the sides with short swords or halberds, covering the flanks with the musketeers. These people walked in front.

This is actually forbidden, because he is worried that the general will be shot, but Meng Sheng realizes that there are few archers on the other side, and his own ability is not something a small Yue nobleman can handle. Which of those farmers and soldiers is his opponent?
Even the Yue people's army of gentlemen, Meng Sheng felt that he could fight five against one, how about these ordinary soldiers?
Taking the lead at this time is to let the entire army of this brigade burst out with the greatest strength and defeat the Yue people at once.

The Yue people charged too early, the team was already scattered, and it was impossible to fight against the spearmen.

The brave men who charged the fastest had already dispersed, and the musketeers beat the Yue people in the front row sparsely. Under one attack, each Yue man had to face six or seven spears.

As for the Yue people behind... they are not on the front line of the battle at all.

Holding a short halberd, Meng Sheng followed the sound of drums and flute, and finally when he was more than ten steps away from the nearest Yueren, he waved his short halberd and shouted: "Shock!"

The drummer and flute player next to him immediately conveyed the order. The distance of more than ten steps is the best distance for impact, which can maintain physical strength for fighting, and the sprint generally reaches the maximum speed at about 30 meters.

Although they don't need to run so fast, just a quick impact is enough to break through all the forces blocking them.

Several brave Yue people who had never escaped looked at the spears in the forest and panicked in their hearts. When the spears approached, they subconsciously rolled to the ground, trying to avoid the spears, but before they got up, they were attacked Spearman was underfoot, unable to stand up at all.

The few Yue people wanted to rush in from the two wings, but the horizontal plane between the three spearmen phalanxes was already extremely wide, unless they were originally on the two sides, it would be difficult to run to the two sides after the battle.

The people on the side had just approached, Meng Sheng held his halberd and Qu Jiang held out his sword, and immediately killed them.

Meng Sheng thought in his heart, if it is really a field battle with all its strength, there are still cavalry protection on the two wings, and there are also some wandering sword shields who are good at fighting.

The rest of the Yue people had already engaged in battle with the center of the spearmen. The scattered Yue people did not dare to charge forward and continued to subconsciously spread out towards the sides. soldier.

Originally, the morale of the army had been lost, and the spearmen charged like this, and these not elite Yue people could not hold on immediately.

Rulin's spears cannot be broken from the front, even chariots dare not directly attack the spear pawns formed in the formation, let alone these people.

Without a crossbow, there is no way to make a gap in the phalanx.

Not to mention that there is no artillery, and the phalanx cannot be blasted directly.

It was only a short battle, and more than a hundred Yue soldiers were stabbed to death by spears, but the spearmen only had a slight concave in the formation, and soon leveled off, and there were few casualties, and they continued to charge forward.

The Yueren, who had already been frightened, only relied on the last breath of bravery, but the Yueren aristocratic bird of prey knew that he had miscalculated, and there was no way he could get over it.

I thought that there were not many people on the opposite side, maybe they were not elites, but I thought that these people came forward with spears, and they came like Kuaiji Mountain, how could I stop them?
Seeing that his side had been defeated, he threw away the dagger in his hand and ran towards the river without regard for face.

As soon as he ran, the Yue people around him dropped their weapons when they saw the general fleeing. The private soldiers around him followed suit and took off their leather armor, threw away their weapons, and ran towards the river on both sides.

Yue people are good at water. They built their country from a place full of swamps and lakes. Almost everyone can swim. Seeing that they can't fight, if they don't escape at this time, they will really die under those sharp spears.

Their escape caused a chain reaction, and the Yue people who had finally assembled into an array also fled one after another, not wanting to fight anymore.

Almost as soon as they started fighting, the terrified and uneasy Yue people were already scattered.

This is not a dead place, because Yue people can swim, so they don't have the heart to die.

Meng Sheng pulled the short halberd from a Yue soldier, and when he saw that the Yue people retreated, he immediately sent an order: "Run and pursue!"

This is an order that is rarely issued. Such an order means giving up the formation, which is almost impossible in a big war.

But now, the Yue people have no resistance at all, so they have to rush forward so that they can't retreat and regroup.

The sound of the drum changed suddenly, and the spearmen and the musketeers with daggers on both sides immediately screamed in groups of four or five, grouped according to their usual eating partners, and rushed towards the Yue people.

More than 400 of the 80 Yue people were killed by muskets, and there were nearly [-] casualties in the first battle, but the morale had been extremely low before, and they dispersed as soon as they rushed.

A group of five volunteers and ten volunteers rushed forward recklessly, stabbing short swords or spears behind the fleeing Yue people.

Groups of Yue people fled to the river, took off their armor and jumped into the river, swimming towards the shore, as fast as a fish.

Every time he waved his arms, he rushed out two or three steps. The volunteers also knew how to swim, but they didn't chase after them. Instead, they only chased and killed the Yueren who were at the pass between the two rivers.

Some Yue people fled to the river and bypassed the righteous army and fled backwards. However, the Musketeers who had already ambushed in the reeds rushed out with short swords in their hands and captured them instantly.

The Yue aristocrat poked his head out of the river and had already reached the opposite bank, followed by a few people, all of whom were his own private soldiers.

Looking at it with lingering fear, Xin Dao Mohism is invincible, so I go back and tell the truth, I'm afraid the king may not believe it.If there are tens of thousands of troops, the gentleman's army may not be able to fight...

Fortunately, it seems that these Mohist soldiers can't swim, so it may be guessed that they can't swim either, so they didn't swim and chased.

Just as he was rejoicing, he saw a few people riding horses suddenly jumping out from the bushes in the distance, holding spears in their hands, and stepping on iron objects called stirrups by Mohists.The bird of prey has seen Mozhe ride such a horse before in Teng, so he knows what it is.

He secretly exclaimed, not thinking that there were also ambushes on the other side of the river, his armor had already faded, and he had no weapons in hand, so he could only run away.

How can a person run faster than a fast horse in a short time?

The bird of prey only saw a man riding a horse, with a spear under his armpit, and lightly resting his arm, he pierced into the back of a fleeing Yue man in front of him like lightning.

The spear protruded through his chest, and immediately the man let go of the spear early, and he didn't want it anymore. Then he drew out the dagger on the saddle, and rushed towards the fleeing Yueren again.

Birds of prey grew up in Yuedi, where have you seen anyone who can ride a horse?I don't know how many people there are. I only heard the neighing of horses and the screams of fleeing Yue people.

While panicking, I heard someone yelling in Vietnamese, saying exactly to squat down on the spot, so as not to die!
During the charge, the shout became more and more attractive, even if there were still screams, it couldn't cover up the sound.

The bird of prey let out a long sigh, knowing that today was not a good day, how could he have thought that he was sitting on the land, and the city would be destroyed and wiped out within a few days?
…………

Two hours later, the battlefield had been cleaned up, and the number of good Mohists accompanying the army counted and counted the results of the battle.

Of the more than [-] Yue people, more than [-] were killed and injured, most of whom were killed during the collapse.

About [-] others were captured, and the general of the Yue people was also captured alive. Almost no Yue people escaped, only a few dozen people may have hid in the reeds and did not know where they fled.

On Meng Sheng's side, no one died, only two people were injured by the musket explosion, and more than ten people were injured in the battle.

Meng Sheng secretly sighed, this can be said to be another shocking battle, no one on his side died, and four hundred and four hundred Yue people were defeated, now the soldiers are cheering, showing an unshakable momentum.

This can not only increase the confidence of the soldiers, but also deter some people in Tengdi, so that they dare not move lightly, so as to deter them.

He called a cavalry soldier, wrote down the results of the battle on paper, and said urgently: "Go to Tengdi immediately and tell Shi, the righteous army has won a great victory, and no one died!"

The rider raised his head, his brows and eyes were full of excitement, received the order, put his legs between the horse's belly, and galloped towards Tengdi.
