Chapter 865 The Battle of Yinyang ([-])

The left wing of the Mo-Chu Allied Forces.

Unexpected.

Chu Guang's cavalry was quickly defeated by Wei Han's cavalry, which was not enough to drive Wei Han's cavalry, but Wei Han's attack speed was delayed.

If they are disciplined enough, they can reorganize immediately after retreating after a failure, and launch a new attack, but these cavalry from low-ranking nobles have retreated a long way, and it will take some time to regroup.

The chief general of the Wei-Han Allied Army rubbed his hands excitedly, he could feel that the balance of victory had tilted towards him.

Although the left wing of one's own side retreated, it still did not delay the battle for long, but the Wei and Han coalition forces of the left wing infantry who could still see the left wing infantry fighting through the smoke were not at a disadvantage.

In the battle on the right wing, those mighty Chu Guang cavalry were defeated, and there was no possibility of regrouping and attacking in a short time.

Only some of the Mohist cavalry on the left were still cooperating with the infantry to attack, but he believed that those cavalry were already on their way to support Chen Cai's division.

He didn't realize that the Mo-Chu allied forces had quietly increased their troops to the right, but the number of reinforcements was not large, it seemed that there were only 6000 or [-] people. He was sure that this would not be enough to defeat his left flank—at least after he defeated Chen Caizhi. The division was not enough to defeat before.

Now what he saw in his eyes was that his own cavalry and chariot soldiers had begun to attack Chen Cai's division, and the fighting soldiers were already fighting hand-to-hand with those Chen Cai's division.

And not far behind, ten large infantry formations formed a Pythagorean shape, and they were pressing over with an overwhelming momentum.

At this time, the battle situation is quite clear, and you can see it if you want to come to the Mo-Chu Allied Forces. In this case, if the Mohist cavalry on the left flank do not rush to support, the collapse of Chen Cai's division is almost inevitable.

Chen Cai's division on the left wing of the Chu army could no longer hold on.

The previous bombardment had drained their morale a lot, and the failure of their own cavalry to counterattack exacerbated this uneasiness.

Wei Guo's dense phalanx came overwhelmingly, which made this uneasy atmosphere reach its peak.

Wearing leather armor and holding daggers or daggers, Wei's fighting soldiers rushed into the army formations that were confused by shelling, cavalry attacks, and chariot attacks. Can't stand it.

The musketeers among the 500 people in the first large formation had already disintegrated, and the remaining infantry continued to shrink the already dense phalanx, as if there were enemies in all directions.

Tread...  

The Wei and Han cavalry in the distance attacked again, and an iron bullet happened to fall into the almost crowded phalanx, making a trail full of blood and short limbs with a few puffs.

"Defeated! I can't hold it anymore!"

"Run!"

Facing the cavalry that was getting closer, I don't know who shouted first.

This cry was like the roar of the first wave hitting the cliff when the tide was high, and it soon triggered waves that seemed to be ebbing.

The several phalanxes that were already on the verge of collapse could no longer hold on and ran backwards, while the few phalanxes that had been hit less before were still holding on, but they were already in chaos.

General Wei Han, who had been watching this side from a distance, almost jumped off the chariot of observation, and his excitement was beyond words.

"Our army has won this battle!"

"Order the Chinese army, assemble to the right!"

The battlefield is changing rapidly. For the Wei and Han coalition forces, the collapse of the first phalanx of Chen Cai's division means that the opportunity for war is approaching.

The infantry moved slowly and had to be readjusted in order to seize the weakness of the Mo Chu coalition forces and expand the results of the battle under this rare opportunity.

He wanted to use the Chinese army to continue sticking to Chu's central army, concentrate the main force on the right wing, completely surround the Mo-Chu coalition army from the side, and defeat it in one fell swoop.

The drums sounded, the flags flew, and the remaining phalanxes of the Wei and Han coalition forces that had been standing still began to move, and Wei and Han's central army began to march with drums.

The Chu army is in the formation.

Grand Sima of the Chu State also became short of breath. He raised his binoculars and double-checked that the central reserve force of the Wei-Han Allied Army began to move, and then let out a long breath.

"He finally moved! He finally moved!"

He said it three times in a row, this was what he had been looking forward to since the beginning of the war, and now it finally happened.

Wei Han's infantry array moves slowly, and it is almost difficult to break through when standing still, but once it moves, it means that it will reveal a hole...

There is no large army in the world that can maintain a perfect formation when maneuvering on the battlefield, even the now recognized strong army Xihe pawns and Sishang righteous divisions are impossible, there is no doubt about this.

And once it moves, it is almost impossible to regret and want to readjust in the future, because it is Wei Han's infantry formation.

The collapse of Chen Caizhi's division was within his expectations, and the Grand Sima of the Chu State was ready to abandon Chen Cai's division from the very beginning.

For this victory, he can give up those elite Che Guang cavalry just to buy a little time; he can give up the newly retrained Chen Cai's division just for the final victory.

Because...he is the great Sima of the King of Chu, the great Sima used by the King of Chu to centralize power and fight against the Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans. In this battle, the Chu State must win, and it must win a big victory.

In the previous few battles, he fought against the weak chickens of Dongting Cangwu, or the army like Wang Ziding who would be defeated without the support of Wei Han.

What kind of results the King of Chu's new army can achieve is equivalent to how much resistance the King of Chu's reforms can have.

He was waiting for the Wei and Han coalition forces to move, as long as they moved, he would have a chance, especially the mobile reserve force of the Chinese army.

However, despite being so excited, he was still able to stay awake. After taking a few deep breaths, he sent an order: "The second-line infantry in preparation turns to form the formation! The artillery turns the muzzle and uses the second-line infantry as the left wing!"

This is comparing time with Wei and Han. What Chu State Da Sima relies on is that the formation of Chu State's new army is easier to maneuver, and the defense of the left wing can be redeployed before Chen Cai's division completely collapses.

In addition to mobility, it also lies in the particularity of the Chu State's new army system: a thinner front means more backup second-line reserves under a front of equal length.

Wei Han's small reserve team has already moved, which means that once the left wing of the Wei Han coalition army collapses, even the central army will not be able to organize defense. After all, the movement speed of the large formation is much slower, and it is too late to readjust and deploy.

The Great Sima of the Chu Kingdom jumped onto the chariot and looked at the right wing of the Mo-Chu coalition army, thinking that the key to victory or defeat depends on you.

The right wing of the Mo-Chu coalition forces.

The pawns are still fighting, and the outcome is hard to tell.

The concubine Mi and other cavalry who took advantage of the north wind and gunpowder to make a big detour have appeared behind Wei Han's left wing.

The brigade commander in charge of commanding these cavalry was listening to the suggestion of Shu Pu Mi, and several brigade-level cadres next to him were also listening.

The concubine Mi pointed to the direction where the general's flag was erected high in the distance: "Wei Han's formation has moved, and it seems that Chen Cai's division can no longer hold on. At this time, Wei Han has no cavalry to drive us away. , There are no two phalanxes that can withstand our impact."

"The main general of Wei Han is still in the central army. We might as well go straight to the central army and behead the enemy general. Even if it doesn't work, the Wei Han army will be in chaos."

"If we can't rush down, we can also go straight to the side of the Chinese army. Once the Chinese army is defeated, the left wing of Wei and Han will be defeated."

"Although the order is for me to attack the left flank of Wei and Han, it is hard to find a fighter plane. If it is to attack the left flank of Wei and Han, even though the left wing of Wei and Han is defeated, it will still take time for the army to sweep. It is better to go straight to the main general of the central army."

When several officers heard this, their eyes lit up.

indeed so.

Now it seems that the Wei Han formation has moved, and there is no one in the entire Wei Han army that can stop their cavalry force.

Their cavalry could not break away from the motionless formation, and if Wei Han's cavalry chose to counterattack, they might be stuck.

But now, there is no power to restrain them.

Going straight to the commander, just as the prisoner Mi said, if you win, you will be the first in this battle.

No, it's a big deal to withdraw and attack Wei Han's left wing. Now the infantry on both sides are anxious, just a little charge can make Wei Han's left wing collapse.

This is a choice with only advantages and no disadvantages.

The fighter plane was fleeting, and several people voted in an instant, feeling extremely excited.

Two and a half cavalry brigades, eight portable bronze cannons dragged by pack horses, and five hundred foot knights, this is a force that cannot be resisted unless two or three phalanxes are formed, even if the cavalry of the Wei and Han coalition forces are still there, It can't be stopped, this is their self-confidence.

With an order, the Mohist cavalry who had been in ambush for a long time and waited for the change of the Wei Han army's formation began to move towards the place where the general of the Wei Han Zhong army was located.

The concubine Mi's eyes were extremely hot, and he fixed his eyes on the position of the general Wei Han. He was sure that there were only a small number of chariots and young elite infantry there.

Even if the impact fails, so what?As for Wei Han's heavy-stepping phalanx trying to catch up with them, it's a dream.When Wei Han's cavalry returned to aid, even if those Wei Han's cavalry were not stuck together with Chu's Chen Cai's division, when they returned to aid, they would be able to break through several already anxious Wei and Han phalanxes.

When they advanced to seven or eight hundred steps, the Wei and Han coalition forces should have discovered their actions. The general became flustered, but the drumbeat remained unchanged.

The prisoner said in his heart, the sound of the drum has not changed, it must be because he does not want to cause confusion in the army, but the nearest infantry phalanx is still a hundred steps away from there, and it is moving to the right, even returning to help at this time will not help.

At this time, in the formation of the Wei Han army, General Wei Han's face was gloomy, and he raised his sword and beheaded the few servants who had shouted loudly and panicked just now, and shouted: "Great victory, those who disturb the army's morale by making noise, kill!"

He was horrified, and murmured in his heart: "He used the entire Chen Cai army as bait? The Mohist cavalry circled behind?"

After being shocked, he looked at the situation of the left wing of the Chu army, and said coldly: "Your left wing has collapsed, how long can your central army last? The victory or defeat is yet to be known!"

In exchange for his cronies, he told him: "Go and deliver the order yourself, and the two phalanxes will stop and turn to help, so don't say anything."

Pointing to the two nearest phalanxes, the cronies took the order and left.

Looking around, there are still five hundred elite soldiers, dozens of chariots, hundreds of elite soldiers, and hundreds of slaves of the nobles. Together, there are still more than two thousand people, and they may not be unable to fight.

And there is no need to win, just delay for a while, once the infantry returns to help, these hateful Mohist cavalry must retreat.Even if one's left wing collapses, it will be nothing more than a left wing for left wing battle.

At this time, there is no need to panic, a counterattack is needed, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, and it will cause chaos on the entire front.

On the chariot, he summoned the nobles around him and said: "It is a matter of being loyal to the emperor to eat the king's salary. This is the time for the country to support soldiers. The enemy's left wing has been defeated, and the victory and defeat have been divided. The Mohist cavalry are nothing more than trapped beasts." Fight, our army will win. Everyone, defeat the enemy with me!"

There are hundreds of elites around him, as well as some slaves of the nobles, and some dead guards around the nobles. These are the most elite forces, and they may not be able to fight back and win.
