Chapter 384

Although the habit is a habit, it still sounds uncomfortable after all.

After Nie Zheng came to Peiyi, he also met many well-known figures in the "Jianghu" of various places. Many of these knight-errants who came to help charity laughed off the criticisms of the Mohists, or slandered them in their hearts.

The reason why these people don't join the Mohist school is also because of this reason. They don't quite agree with the Mohist idea of ​​"synonymous".

As the saying goes, ten people have ten righteousness, and a hundred people have a hundred righteousness. Why do you Mohists want everyone in the world to be "same"?When you talk about equality, does everyone in the world think they are equal?You said that the first-class righteousness is to benefit the world, and other righteous deeds are lower than this, so why are you right?You said that if you save the people and benefit the people, then you are considered the bravery of a gentleman, the pinnacle of courage, why should you judge this pinnacle?
Furthermore, the strict rules of the Mohist school are really ancient. Before the Mohist school also "obeyed the discipline and practiced the righteousness of benefiting the world, and death never followed", but after all, it was not so strict.

Since the gathering of the Mohists in Shangqiu, the rules of the Mohism have become more and more strict, and now the clues can be seen on the battlefield.

It is true that there are orders and prohibitions, drums are beating, no pursuit is allowed, these volunteers actually watched the Yue people retreat and did not pursue.

Moreover, the formation is tight, and hundreds of thousands of people act in the same way, which inevitably makes these rangers feel unwilling. Who would want to be such a consistent person?
In addition to Nie Zheng who came here because of the friendship or favor of the Mohists, among the 700 people there are also many "fine works" from the Three Jin Dynasties.

It's easy to sneak in. The Mohists read out the meaning of this battle in Juyi, a big city, and hope that friends from all over the world will come to help, and some nobles who have an old relationship with the Mohism can also send a few of their own dead soldiers, guests, and guests to help. Yes, at least the sympathy is still to be given.

Among these people, there are spies sent by the Sanjin. They were ordered to see how to use the firearms made by the Mo family.
The battle of Shangqiu only shook the world, but the combat mode was still within the comprehension of the nobles and kings of the world.Relying on the Chu people to camp, weary the Chu people, paralyzed the Chu people, went out of the city to attack at night, and captured the king of Chu in one fell swoop.

The battle of Niu Lanyi was a little different.The pamphlet published by the Mohist School on the relationship between rationality and will, geometry, and the outcome of wars is no longer understood by the kings and nobles.And from the people of Wei's point of view, the battle of the Mo family was indeed bragging. If Si Ziyang hadn't betrayed the alliance and attacked the capital of South Korea, and if Hanhou and Zhaohou hadn't died in the same year, they might not have been able to capture Niulanyi.

But after the battle of Tengdi last year, the kings of all countries really couldn't understand it.They couldn't figure out how the Mohist managed to destroy the city in three days without killing a single person.

And as artillery and firearms began to spread, will these things bring about huge changes in the mode of warfare?
Kings who aspire to contend for world hegemony are thinking, and so are people who know how to fight like Wu Qi.

The volunteers of the Mohist school, unlike other places, want to see how firearms and stirrups fight. This time the war with Yue is an excellent opportunity to observe.

These people with various purposes came to Peiyi, and then took advantage of this excellent opportunity to go to the battlefield and observe all this.

In fact, from the time when Shi led people on an armed parade in the small country of Surabaya, these people felt that the situation of the war in the world was about to change.

The siege seems to have become meaningless after the advent of gunpowder, at least the current city defense system is no longer meaningful under the oppression of gunpowder and the kind of tunnel approaching the siege method.

The significance of field battles has become greater, and the city defense system must also be changed in accordance with the Mohist booklet on geometry and warfare. Even artillery has become a must for city defense.

The Mohists had previously adopted the ability to defend the city, so that the kings of various countries had to pay attention to the opinions of the Mohists, or the Mohist already had the strength to participate in the alliance of various countries.

But now the war against Yue is a manifestation of the Mohists' ability in field combat, and this time, King Yi of Yue leads an army of nearly [-] to fight the decisive battle.

Although it is often said that one hundred thousand soldiers are raised at this time, the real field elites are only tens of thousands, and the country of Yue can be regarded as a thin camel, not a country of thousands of chariots like Song.

If this battle is a complete victory, it seems that they have only defeated [-] Yue people, but for all countries in the world, such a righteous teacher who emphasizes "non-aggression" is not something to provoke.

Whether you can beat it is the second thing, but if the mantis catches the cicada, the oriole may be behind.

Those who are scholars don't need to seek a country. What these disciples of the dead who are here to observe the righteous masters fighting with the Yue people need to judge is not what influence the Mohism will have on the world, but only the fighting style of the righteous masters.

What they can see is not the overall situation, but only the battle of the Chinese army.

The evaluation is nothing more than a few words.

The formation is neat and long, but there is more than enough defense and not enough offense.

A volley of muskets is better than a bow and crossbow, but it cannot be a hundred paces.

This is determined by their vision, and that's all they can see.

The few times before, the Yue people rushed to the front of the volunteer army like a tide, and it seemed that they were about to break through the volunteer teacher's defense. Hold the line of defense.

As for who is winning or losing on the battlefield now, who is superior and who is inferior, they are not clear.

But based on past experience, they can only guess that the outcome is unpredictable and they are anxious.

Because no matter which side wins or loses, these people who can be called "elite soldiers" will be used by volunteers.

According to past experience, if any side has such [-] skilled swordsmen, when they are used, either the battle situation is in danger, or the battle situation is showing signs of victory.

Indeed, in the past, in the world wars, these more than 700 knight-errants who are good at fencing often play a role in deciding the outcome.

Not to mention before, even after the reforms of various countries, after Lord Xinling stole the talisman to save Zhao, relying on three thousand soldiers as the main direction of assault, he still won a big victory.

It's just that now, in Shi's eyes, these people are just a group of people who "do not know discipline and may charge without authorization".

Shi didn't expect them to win the battle, and when the battle on the right wing was the most anxious, all Shi thought was that this group of people might attack very hard, causing panic and confusion to the Yue people, and sharing a certain amount of pressure for the right wing , to buy more time for the outflanking troops.

Therefore, when Shirang's messengers asked these people to attack the Yueren from the right, many people thought that they were the final force that would determine the outcome of the battle.

Thus, such a situation appeared on the battlefield.

The brigade-level phalanx on the left wing of the volunteer division began to move forward slowly, while supporting the right wing, making an outflanking posture.But they move too slowly, so Yueren needn't worry.

The real hammers of four brigades plus [-] cavalry are forming a team, preparing to carry out a large outflank from the left flank, using the advantage of battlefield mobility to encircle all the Yue people.

The [-]th Brigade on the right repelled the Yueren on the right, and used four companies to pursue and prevent the scattered Yueren from regrouping, while the remaining six companies launched an attack on the Yueren's flanks, squeezing the Yueren.

This point is not clear, but he knows that the right wing is under great pressure now, so he released the seven hundred rangers, hoping that they can attack the Yue people and share a certain amount of pressure for the right wing.

Shi didn't expect these 700 people to be able to decide the outcome of the battle. He just hoped that the fighting spirit they had honed for a long time could be brought by the Yue people to a certain extent and share the threat facing the right wing.

But after these people entered the battlefield, relying on the fighting spirit and confidence accumulated before, they would inevitably pose a threat to the right wing of the main force of the Yue people.

Unexpectedly, the Seventh Brigade of the right-wing volunteers is outflanking Yueren's flanks, hoping to squeeze Yueren and reduce Yueren's battlefield space.

What's more, I don't know that the 700 people who support the right wing and share the pressure will work with the Seventh Brigade to compress the battlefield space of the Yue people.

But this is not the decisive force.

The real decisive victory was the four brigades and [-] cavalry on the left who were about to outflank.

Now, the opportunity has appeared, and the troops have moved to their positions. When the brigade-level phalanx on the far left starts to move, they are about to spread out and enter the battlefield in a column march, using the speed advantage of the column to copy over the people's flanks And the back road, and then expand the horizontal team.

This is the last chance for the Yue people to retreat. If they still do not make up their minds to retreat within a quarter of an hour, these Yue people will be completely surrounded.

This quarter of an hour is also the most critical quarter of an hour on the battlefield.

Whether it's the retreat of the Yue people or the collapse of the volunteer army's right wing, as long as it happens within this quarter of an hour, all the previous plans, all the previous formation confrontations, all the previous changes and lures will become meaningless.
