Chapter 992 The Battle of the Two Sons ([-])
Everyone knew that he was joking, and some officers said: "The giant thinks too much. It's just that the situation is so compelling that the opponent has no choice. The temple is defeated, the politics is insufficient, the reform is not deep, the weapons are insufficient, and the people are restless. ...Actually, from the time when the Qi army chose to encircle Shangqiu to save Linzi, it was already doomed to fail."

"If you don't encircle Shangqiu and save Linzi, Marquis Qi can live two more years, but what can they do if they seek their own death?"

Shi shook his head and smiled wryly, pointing to the left wing and said: "The key is that battles are not fought like this! I let the left wing try to attack in advance, in order to let him mobilize troops so that I can break through the center and divide it; or force him to give up the right wing and shrink the defense line. "

"It's good on the opposite side, hold back the troops. Then you hold back the troops, why didn't you just give up the right wing and shorten the front line and stick to it? Or the coalition army thought that the right wing could hold it? As a general, you must understand the combat effectiveness of both sides, at least to do it Expect the enemy to be lenient."

"I really don't understand this situation. So I'm really worried. Is there something like a mechanical descendant? Is there really a hidden coalition army on the left wing? Taking advantage of our army's left wing attack, there is a sudden defeat The left wing of our army turned the tide of the battle?"

A younger staff officer muttered softly: "I see that the coalition reserve force at Sanliu Club has never been deployed, is it... they want to find an opportunity to move to the right flank, and take advantage of our army's deployment on the right flank to counterattack? "

Several older officers and senior cadres, including Shi, laughed. The situation on the battlefield was unexpectedly smooth, which put them in a good mood.

Shi joked: "Young people must have imagination, but the battlefield is not an imaginary place. This kind of tactic is indeed an effective method of winning more with less, but there are two prerequisites."

"First, before the start of the confrontation, through a secret march, maneuver to the side where our army is not the main attack."

"Secondly, if the first point cannot be achieved, we need to have enough cavalry on the non-main attacking side of our army to ensure that the counterattack can support the width of the flanking front."

"Third, if you can't do one or two things, you need to have strong discipline and the ability to march quickly. Our army's main offensive side will shrink its troops, artificially reduce the width of their fronts, and increase the width of our fronts. Get ready for transfer."

"Now he hasn't done one or two. If it's three, he should at least do something with the cavalry first. When shelling, he should launch a counterattack from the cavalry and then retreat in defeat. The infantry echelon gradually retreated during the shelling, luring us The army's flanks in the direction of luring the enemy continued to expand, causing our army to disperse, stretch the front line, and gradually reverse the direction of the front line."

"But you see now?"

He stretched out his finger and pointed to the clearly visible situation on the battlefield, and said: "Up to now, the enemy troops in the direction of Sanliu Club still haven't stepped back and shrunk to defend, and the entire front is still in the same direction at the beginning. Even if they march as fast as us, It's also impossible to move to the left faster than we can under our noses."

"Besides, he didn't shrink the defense in the direction of Sanliu Society, and the battle line was so long and so thin, even if he moved the main attacking force to the right wing under my nose, how could he survive until our army captured Sanliu Society? After the maneuver successfully launched a counterattack?"

The young staff officer smiled embarrassingly. He could tell that the tone was not a criticism, but a burst of excitement in a happy mood. The staff officer thought to himself, Juzi is in a really good mood today.

Thinking about it again, if this battle is a complete victory, Han, Wei, Qi, and Wei are equivalent to undefended vassal states.Linzi can go down in an instant, and Luoyi can win in an instant.

The great cause of benefiting the world that tens of thousands of Mohists have thought about is about to become a reality, so how could they be unhappy.

The young staff officer also understands the situation on the battlefield, and knows that in the current situation, the collapse of the Qi army's right wing is likely to be within half an hour.

Because the attack on the left wing of the Mo family went smoothly, although Xiaoqiu's repeated fights have not yet been resolved, the forces on the right wing of the coalition army have been forced to dare not move at all.

Even if the movement of the cavalry and infantry on the left wing of the Mohists is discovered now, the right wing of the coalition army has no soldiers to adjust.

If the flank collapses, it will be over; if the hill is lost, it will be over.

Unless the coalition forces send troops to support now, the battle on Sanliu Club's side has already begun. As long as the attack here is hard enough, the coalition forces have missed the opportunity to shrink the defense on Sanliu Club's side. Once the reserve team is transferred away, Sanliu Club's side Edges will also collapse.

With superior forces, superior weapons, and an inferior musket, the coalition's front is full of loopholes.

If you form an array and shrink and stick to it, you will be killed by shelling; if you stretch the front line, you will be killed suddenly by cavalry and infantry.It seems that the coalition forces would rather be killed suddenly by cavalry and infantry than by bombardment.

Now the Mohist forces at Sanliu Club are already coordinating with the left wing. Originally, the left wing was a feint attack, but due to the advantage of attacking half an hour earlier than other places, it abruptly became the main attack, and it is likely to completely change the situation of the battle.

The officers of the right wing and the central army were quite upset. They all felt that the advantage was so great that no matter which side attacked first, they would get the most combat exploits. The troops on the left wing were just lucky enough to attack early.

The [-] infantry who were maneuvering towards the Sanliu Society's side were adjusted just to match the left wing's offensive.

At the very beginning, the tactics formulated by the Mohist staff to mobilize the two wings and break through the center; or to force the coalition forces to actively shrink, retreat, encircle and bombard, seemed to be useless.

The main reason is that I really didn't expect the coalition forces to come up with such an unknown tactical choice, not going to the flanks for support, and not directly giving up the flanks to prepare for shrinking. It seems that the entire coalition forces can only command more than [-] people and deploy all units in advance task, and they simply don't know how to use such a rapidly changing battlefield.

The [-] infantry who made a roundabout maneuver to the side of Sanliu Society were to cooperate with the cavalry to fight. If the cavalry of the coalition army charged, the infantry would choose to form an formation, creating an opportunity for their own cavalry to surprise and surround the cavalry of the coalition army from the flanks.

If the coalition cavalry does not attack the infantry, but instead attacks the cavalry, then the infantry can use artillery and muskets to cause damage to the coalition cavalry.

If the coalition forces transfer the infantry of the reserve team there, then the coalition forces will not even have the possibility of changing their formation at last, and the various ministries can safely and boldly attack.

The most important thing is that once the right wing of the allied forces collapses, they will definitely shrink to the Sanliu Society, and the four thousand infantry will cooperate with the cavalry to cut off the retreat of the allied forces. Once the right wing collapses, they will completely encircle the allied forces and gradually compress the encirclement , and finally concentrated artillery bombardment for two days, without water and food.

Now it depends on how the coalition forces on the opposite side respond. From the shelling to the present, the Mo family has always held the initiative in the battle. The coalition forces have not mobilized to force the Mo family to change their strategies to deal with it. Instead, the Mo family has always taken the initiative and the coalition forces passively accepted.

…………

On the side of the battlefield, on the right side of the right wing of the coalition army, when the Mohist infantry and cavalry artillery who were able to maneuver to the side due to the cover of the hill suddenly appeared behind the right wing of the coalition army, the right general of the coalition army panicked.

Now the competition on the hill has reached a fever pitch, with three attacks and three counter-attacks, the Mohists have a tendency to gain a firm foothold.

The attack interval of the Qi army was gradually extended, and the Mohist infantry on the ridge line had more time to reload.

On the ridge line of the hill, the combat engineers wielding shovels and shovels put great pressure on the right general of the coalition army.

If they can't immediately organize two more counterattacks, once the Mo family pulls up the bronze cannon, there will be no need to fight this battle.

Never thought that the Mohists were not planning to seize Xiaoqiu at all, but were planning to use cavalry and infantry to cooperate to directly defeat his main force from the side.

He has no soldiers available now.

A total of more than 1 troops were deployed, and two thousand were deployed close to the direction of the Chinese army. There was no cover of hills there, and the previous shelling suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, the Chinese army could support them, and the horns of each other finally withstood the Mohist forces. offensive.

The [-] cavalry were defeated and driven by the [-] cavalry without any suspense, and they could not be organized in a short time.

The 5000 infantry defended the flanks in a dense formation, and the remaining [-] people concentrated behind the hill, avoiding the initial shelling, and continued to invest in the battle for the hill.

As soon as the battle here started, he sent someone to ask Tian Ju to support the two brigades, otherwise he would not be able to hold on.Or call in the cavalry and drive away the three thousand cavalry of the Mo family, otherwise the three thousand soldiers on his flank will be dead, unable to attack or maneuver.

But until now, Tian Ju didn't move a single soldier, and only said that it was not yet time, so let him hold on for a while.

On the other hand, the Mohists already had an advantage in terms of strength. The two thousand Qi troops close to the central army had less than one brigade of Mohist infantry to fight against them, and because of the shelling, they had the upper hand.

On Xiaoqiu's side, the Mohists attacked in waves, investing four companies at a time, continuously attacking and counterattacking, forcing the Qi army to use more troops to fight repeatedly.

The most important thing is the cavalry on the flanks. General Qi felt that if he had the advantage of cavalry, the [-] infantry on the flanks could be mobilized.

Fortunately, the Mo family's cavalry and two brigades of infantry were about to launch an attack, and Xiaoqiu was still fighting for it.

Still competing is actually beneficial to the coalition forces, because the coalition forces dare not take the front of Xiaoqiu, and they will be beaten badly by the Mo family's copper cannons if they set up an formation in front of Xiaoqiu. It is precisely because of this that they set up formations behind.

But once the Mo family did not go all out to fight for Xiaoqiu, but chose to make a surprise attack from the flanks, then he would have nothing to do.

The left wing of the Mo family invested so many troops at one time, and almost used up the reserve team. Once the coalition forces successfully counterattacked, the left wing of the Mo family would collapse across the board.

But what did he use to fight back?Tian Ju said that once the Mohist troops on his side are deployed, it is the best chance to counterattack, but what about the soldiers now?Without a single reinforcement, I couldn't even defend myself.

Abandoning the hill is death, and the flank is destroyed.

In a dilemma, he finally decided to focus on the overall situation.

Let the flanks support the mobile force reserve in my hand, and all the rest will counterattack Xiaoqiu.As long as Xiaoqiu is under control, the Mo family's artillery will not be able to pull up. Even if they have to suffer a lot of casualties, the Mo family will not be able to directly take advantage of the situation to threaten the Chinese army.

At least, I can buy half an hour for Tian Ju's right-wing slash counterattack tactics, or half an hour for the coalition forces to shrink the defense line and deploy the Chinese army's flank defense.

Just half an hour.On the bare hill, at most half an hour, the morale of the dense formation will be completely destroyed by the bronze cannons of the Mo family, but at least the Chinese army should have a chance to shrink.

Otherwise, once the flank collapsed, the Mohist would pull the cannons up the hill to bombard the central army, and the cavalry and infantry would follow the rout of the army and charge straight towards the central army, and the whole line would collapse.
