Chapter 552 The Battle of Nanji Water

Chapter 552 The Battle of Nanji Water ([-])

As soon as the gunshots were fired, the propaganda voice of the Mo family was also blocked.

All that needs to be said has been said, so there is no need to shout.

Under the enfeoffment system, there is no nation in a narrow sense, and it is impossible to produce it, because the economic foundation determines the soil where there is no concept of nation. Some things are not born and natural, and there is no such thing as Qi, Chu, Qin, Zhao, Han, and Wei.

The Mohists didn't instigate anything, they were just stating some facts.Just like when someone asked Mozi why he wanted to slander Confucianism, Mozi said that there is no such thing as slander, and I said that there is something that is just a statement, how can it be called slander?

The enfeoffment system and its accompanying enfeoffment system in which princes have a country, officials have a family, and scholars have subordinates are indeed very problematic. The reality sung in "The East Is Unknown" is not the beauty of the nobles under the enfeoffment system, but the It is the flourishing after suffering and oppression, and that is the reality in the eyes of the common people.

This is a song that belongs to the people of Qi, and it is also a song that belongs to the world. Singing this song means that the Mo family is ready to break with everything in the world after this battle.

In the tent of the volunteer army, he listened carefully to the sparse musket fire of the Qi people on the opposite side, with a smile on his face.

The military chiefs are basically near their respective positions, and now all the adjutants are in the military account, the main thing is to unify the deployment of tomorrow's decisive battle.

Now everyone has seen what it means to be suitable, and what needs to be perfected are some details.

"Today's battle, you have also seen that the Pingyin Army cannot be our opponent, and victory is inevitable."

"However, how to win, how to win with the least cost, this is the key to the problem."

Facing a group of officers, Shi once again emphasized: "We have won the Pingyin Army, but we have lost a lot and need to repair and it is difficult to fight again. Then in the overall situation, it is not a victory, but a defeat."

"The Pingyin Army was wiped out, we still have to capture Pingyin and Father Liang, intercept the Linzi Army and win the battle. If the Linzi Army is undefeated, we are not considered victorious."

"This time Wei Guo has been ambushed by us on five sides. After the First World War, it will be weak within ten years. Wu Qi entered Qin, Wei Zhao turned against him, and Chu regained Chen. The people of Wei dare not use troops on Si Shang again."

"The state of Qi is the key to the Huaibei incident. A state of Qi that has been weak for five to ten years is the basis for our future victory."

"Tomorrow's battle, Liuzhi's feigned attack is to let Doctor Pingyin attract the remaining reserve troops and elites in his hands to the north. I will take the first division, cavalry and the remaining artillery to pry open the Qi army in the south. line of defense."

"As long as they mobilize, we will have enough time to attack before they react. Our losses will be minimized before they react and attack. Otherwise, those reserve teams and elites are still there, and we will face their regrouped counterattack .”

"This is not only about Liuzhi's side, it has something to do with everyone. If you don't attack fiercely, Liuzhi's feint attack will not be regarded as the main attack by Doctor Pingyin and will transfer the elite. Liuzhi's side is attacking. If you don’t rush, I will face a situation where Qi’s reserve team and elites will fill up after the breakthrough. I can’t open up the situation in one fell swoop, and our losses will increase by 5000 people, so don’t Thinking about intercepting the Linzi army, we can only think about making peace with Qi after conquering Pingyin. The main force of Qi is still there. When we deal with Huaibei, Yuebei, Song, etc., we have to worry about Qi's attack behind the scenes .”

"Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded, understanding the meaning of this.If the attack on his side is not strong, Doctor Pingyin will not have a sense of urgency, and without a sense of urgency, Doctor Pingyin will not make up his mind to fight for the hill with the reserve troops and the elite private soldiers around him if Liu Zhi's feint attack is fierce. If the main attack here is suitable, the Qi people may face a situation where the Qi people are fueled so that the anxiety cannot quickly collapse the Qi army.

In today's battle, no one doubted that the victory belonged to their side, and all they had to consider were casualties.

Seeing that everyone nodded, Shi said again: "The things that the Propaganda Department preached today must be paid attention to tomorrow. Those who raise their hands will not be killed, and no one will be killed. Be sure to pay attention to the rules and principles.”

"If you have the world in your heart, you must have the tolerance to have the world in mind. Marquis Qi can carve apart our people and kill captives who surrendered, but we can't."

"Since we say that part of the world, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Han, are all people in the world, then we are also people in the world. How can there be such a thing as our own people killing our own people?"

"The crime does not lie with those forced soldiers, but with those princes and officials who launched unjust wars. We must pay attention to this point."

After repeatedly exhorting, seeing that there was nothing more to instruct, Shi looked at the map again, and let the crowd disperse, and conveyed it to the military commander after returning, must unify the determination, and tomorrow's decisive battle must be fought again Be brave.

…………

In the early morning of the next day, there was no wind or fog, and the weather was still fine.

On the north side of the battlefield, following the orders of the messengers, the same routine as yesterday began to attack again.

During the scuffle yesterday afternoon, the engineers had already dug the artillery position at the designated location. Once the twelve long-barreled copper cannons were deployed, they could drive away or suppress the nine cannons of Qi State on the hill.

It's just that the position is still between the fronts of the two armies, and the infantry needs to attract the artillery fire from the hill to prepare for the artillery deployment.

Six Fingers had already clearly told the brigade commander of the [-]th Brigade of his combat intentions, there was no need to hide anything, and he clearly told them that it was time to exchange the elite for artillery deployment.

This time, the attack will be more fierce than yesterday. It is necessary to directly break through the already crumbling camp of the Qi people yesterday, and directly threaten the hill, so that the artillery on the hill will lose sight of the other: to attack the deployed artillery, the No.13 Brigade may directly charge Go to the hills; attack No.13 brigade, once the long-barreled copper cannons of the rebel division are deployed, the nine cannons will be forced to withdraw.

To make the Qi people feel the pressure, the No.13 Brigade must show its momentum, otherwise there will be no chance for the Qi army to lose sight of the other if it is soft.

During the sound of the horn, Six Fingers solemnly said to the brigade commander of the [-]th brigade: "This time, the entire division will cooperate with you. All the bronze cannons belonging to the [-]th brigade will also support you. We must immediately dismantle the rear of the first camp. The Qi people collapsed, and then made a posture of attacking the hill. As for whether to attack with all strength, wait for the order."

"Your brigade will suffer heavy casualties, but if your casualties are large, the casualties of the entire division will be small, and the casualties of the entire army will be even smaller. War is so cruel."

The brigade commander of the [-]th Brigade nodded and said: "It will definitely be done well. But our brigades on the two wings must also keep up."

Liu Zhi nodded and said: "Don't worry about that. If you take down the camp, there will be companies on the other side to follow your two wings, and the rest will fight against the Qi army's phalanx to strengthen your strength. If you take down the hillside, then the two wings will The Qi people will naturally retreat, and there is no threat from the two wings, whether it is true or false to attack the hillside, your side is the key."

While talking, the messenger came running from the south and said: "Shi Shuai ordered that the artillery bombard first, and then all the corners began to attack. Shi Shuai said, as soon as Yu Zhong arrives, your division will break through the Qi people within two quarters of an hour. The first camp at the top of the mountain convinced Dr. Pingyin that we are mainly attacking the hillside."

"If everything goes well, at the latest five quarters in the corner, Shishuai will launch a general attack."

At the beginning of the corner, it was nine o'clock.

At this time, use a clepsydra to time the day and divide the day into one hundred parts, and each part is a quarter of an hour. It is not the 15 minutes of later generations, but it is very close, about 4 minutes and 20 seconds.

The army has all kinds of timekeeping methods, including clepsydra and sundials to determine the time.

Liuzhi looked at the sun. There was about an hour left before the general attack, and the artillerymen were still warming up.

There are too many uncertain factors on the battlefield, but an overall plan is still necessary.The time is set, which means that when the time comes, regardless of whether the Qi people are mobilized or not, the southern front will launch a general offensive. In fact, it is telling Liu Zhi: When the time comes, you should all invest in it. Lie, then your side will become the main attacker.

He calculated the time, signed his name on the messenger's warrant to indicate that he had received the order, and asked the brigade commander of the [-]th Brigade to prepare first, and then he adjusted the deployment.

The two brigades on the left and right wings remained unchanged, and all the bronze guns of the fifteen brigades were deployed to the attack direction of the thirteenth brigade. to the back of the Thirteenth Brigade.Once there is a problem, it is necessary to press it all.

The staff officers took out the sundial and the water leak, and the shadow of the sun moved slowly on the copper base with the occasional gunshots. Except for the six fingers of the gunshots, there was no sound around, and the officers were all staring at the water leak and the sundial.

When Sun Shadow finally reached the corner character of "Yuzhong", the entire front of the righteous teacher was like a puppet controlled by a rope, and suddenly became agitated.

Beside the copper cannon that was originally slow and afraid of overheating, the officers shouted loudly. The gunner's movements were several times faster. After a few rounds of rapid fire, gaps appeared in the formation formed by all the people.

The whistle sounded, and the No.13 brigade began to move forward quickly, followed by the brigades on both wings, and the drums became more and more impatient.

The twelve hidden long-barreled copper cannons are ready, and the passage is smooth.

The front line looked the same as yesterday, but the offensive was more fierce and impatient than yesterday. After the [-]th Brigade fired rounds of muskets, the spearmen began to charge.

The brigades on the two wings each split into two companies to support the attack of the [-]th Brigade from the side, and the rest were fighting anxiously with the Qi people.

The Thirteenth Brigade didn't hold back any more, and launched an attack with the help of the gap opened by the artillery and muskets in the formation of the Qi army.

Six Fingers observed the situation through the binoculars, and at the moment when the Qi army's formation was beginning to show a general retreat, he waved at the trumpeter next to him and said: "Blow the horn and let the artillery go, the Qi people can't hold it anymore."

What battlefield commanders need is to respond on the fly, that is, to grasp the timing.If it is too late, the Qi people will realize their intentions; if it is too early, the [-]th Brigade will not be able to attract the attention of the Qi army's artillery.

A seemingly simple countermeasure, if the timing is not grasped, the effect will be greatly reduced.
