Chapter 221: How to Win (1)
Tian Wu thinks that he has everything under control, and he is really like a divine help.
Three days later, news came that the main force of the Mo family and the captured Qi army demolished the city wall of Pingyang, and then the army went north to win the city.
Dongmu City has not been broken for a long time, those Feidi nobles and people with blood debts have resisted to the death, and there are not many soldiers in the public smelter, although the city wall is crumbling, but it has not been able to break through.
Dongmu is close to the water, but the Mo family upholds morality and does not flood the city with big water, which is quite a bit of Song Xianggong's stupidity, but it also creates an opportunity for Tian Wu to escape.
When the cronies were excited and the news came, Tian Wu also laughed again and again.
The doctor in Judi has already been in contact, as long as the soldiers in Jimo and Ju are available, then even if he gives up Linzi and retreats to the south of Jiaodong or Jiaoyi, as long as he can ascend to the position of the Marquis of Qi, this life will be saved.
There are still dead soldiers around him, and when the time comes, find out a few "loyal", thinking about what kind of loyal people who are not the Son of Heaven and cannot be punished for him, such as the story of the Marquis, then it will be a big deal.
Now that the main force of the Mo family is in Yingyi and the Ministry of Public Metallurgy is in Dongmu, the time has been vacated for at least five days, and only a partial division of the Mo family and a brigade of soldiers are stationed in Yishui.
The first brigade of the Mo family is only 1,500 people, and the brigade system is smaller than Qi's 2,000-person brigade, and there are still more than 8,000 people in Tian Wu's hands.
After repeatedly confirming that Shi had already gone north, and that he was going to contact the Linzi army under Yingyi in the near future, and could not reflexively, Tian Wu finally made the decision to slip away.
"The application of the shackle is to outflank and outflank, especially in the field. The martial knights of the Mo family are all elites, although the foot soldiers are brave, but the pursuit is not in a hurry after all, he is winning the battle, and the martial knights will not let go of the pursuit. It's time for a big deal! ”
"Without further ado, head east now."
After the order was given, the last of the more than 8,000 elites, private dependents, and noble private soldiers and cronies abandoned the city, looted all the grain in the city, and rushed out of the city to the east.
As soon as they left, the scouts of the Mo family discovered their movements and immediately reported back.
Under Dongmu City, Gongzaoye, who had not slept well for a few days with red and swollen eyes, listened to the news expressionlessly, shook his head and said: "The army is all winning, and I am powerless." In other words, there are no eggs under the nest, the Linzi army is destroyed, and these thousands of people have fled, and they can't make any waves. ”
"Besides, Yu Su's brigade is still in Yishui, and the division of the first brigade can always stop it."
The ink scholars present did not know that Tian Wu was among the eight thousand people, and even if they knew, it was impossible to give up the established strategy for the sake of a Tian Wu.
One of the slogans of the Mo family to punish Qi this time was Tian Wu Massacre City.
However, the slogan is the slogan, Tian Wu is not the primary goal of the Mo family, the annihilation of the Linzi army and the disintegration of the Qi State have just stabilized after twenty years of civil strife.
Meng Sheng was still a little worried about this news, and said: "Those thousands of soldiers fled, although they have no intention of fighting, but if they encounter obstacles, I am afraid that they will fight to the death." The soldiers of the First Brigade of Yu are still a little difficult to intercept. ”
"Can you squeeze out some more people to come to the rescue?"
He knew that this problem was difficult to solve, and the attack on Dongmu City was not too difficult, but after all, they lacked all kinds of weapons to break the city, and they were only a partial division at the beginning.
Now Dongmu City is crumbling, but the nobles in the city who are burdened with blood debts and are famous in the punishment of injustice are resisting to the death, and there is a "heroic" scene of the nobles' children and the dead fighting back with swords.
On the besieging side, in addition to the main force of a division of the Mo family, most of them were spontaneous or organized Fei people, whose tactical level was very low and their training was insufficient, and it was impossible to expect them to capture Dongmu.
Gong Zaoye hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "Dongmu City can't help but break, this is not only a priority of military strategy, but also to give an explanation to those widows and old people who are crying in Wucheng." Now they are so easily trapped in the city, and I am surrounded on all sides, just so that one of them will not be allowed to go. ”
"The right attack on Pingyang is to cut off the way for the Linzi Army to flee south, so he can surround three missing one, or even attack one side, he wants the city. And I want the heads of those people in the city. ”
"Ten are to surround it, five are to attack it, my troops are already insufficient, and I can't divide my troops anymore."
"The right side is about to have a decisive battle, and there is no way to divide the troops. The pursuit is best cavalry, he wants to fight in the field, how can he do it without cavalry? ”
Meng Sheng thought for a long time and said, "Then that's it, send someone to send a message to Yu Su, and if the enemy escapes in small groups, he will intercept it." If you attack in formation, it's best to let it go. ”
In the engagement of this era, the victory and defeat can be determined within one day, and Meng Sheng considered that it would take at least five days to pursue the battle after the battle of Winyi. It will take a while for the city to be broken on his side, and it is impossible to support Yu Su's side when he engages in the battle, since these 8,000 people are not necessary, then there is no need to let Yu Suo's brigade fight to the death when it is impossible to have support.
After a while, the two of them made a decision with the remaining people, and asked the herald Starry Night to pass the news to Yu Su in the name of the commander of the Eastern Front.
…………
Yishui.
At that time, the Liannong of Niuqiyi, the battle of Lushui and the partner company of the king of Shuqing captured the king of Yue, and now he is the commander of the first brigade, Yu Su frowned.
He had already read the letters sent by the heralds, and in more than ten years, he had grown from an illiterate peasant who felt that words were magical things that only nobles could grasp to a Mohist officer who could write 1,800 words, and he could naturally understand the content of the letters.
His promotion among the righteous teachers was relatively fast, and many people laughed at his good luck, because their company captured the king of Yue in Lushui, and their brigade representative was six fingers at that time, and the king of Shuqing was a person who was tired of fighting and wanted to go home to live, which seemed to have led him to be promoted to brigade commander.
He didn't care, and he kept trying.
The brigade he is in charge of is not the foundation of the Mo family when it came to the beginning, but when it comes to the determination to fight, it is no worse than other brigades.
The cause of the Battle of Qimo was that their brigade had changed its guard to the border of Jindi. The fermentation of public opinion caused by the friction at the border seemed to be accidental, but in fact it was inevitable, because when the Mo family high-level sent them over, they thought that something would definitely happen.
Unlike the rest of the divisions of the Mo family, most of whom were locals of the new generation in Sishang, his brigade and the higher-level divisions were mainly serfs who had fled from other places.
This is a group of people who have not only felt the sweetness of the promised land, but also deeply experienced the pain of troubled times.
The representatives of the Mohists in the division are also radical self-suffering and extremist, which can be regarded as the "Tianxia faction" within the Mohists.
Because the original foundation of this division was mainly those Chu people, Yue people, and Qi people who came to Sishang from all over the world, which can be regarded as a kind of inheritance.
It is precisely because of this that it led to the inevitability of the incident in Fei Guo, as long as they are let go, something will happen sooner or later.
But it is precisely because of this inheritance that Yu Yu is now worried.
The order from Gongzaoye and Meng Sheng's side was for them to let go of the enemy with thousands of men, and only to harass as much as possible, because it was impossible for reinforcements to arrive.
This is an official order, and it is also the most beneficial order for the whole brigade of non-commissioned officers.
However, the scouts in the brigade captured several Qi people during the reconnaissance a few days ago, and got a message from the mouth of one Qi person.
Tian Wu was among the 8,000 people, and he showed the banner, and swore an oath when he was close to Yishui, emulating Zhao Zijun's meritorious deeds to boost the morale of the army.
This is the news I just got, and it's too late for this news to be transmitted back to Dongmu.
And as soon as the news came, the backbone of the brigade immediately became furious, the unjust order is a favorite order of these people over the years, they have suffered to the extreme for the benefit of the world, but the Mo family has been shrinking in Si in recent years, and even with the two systems of the princes who have not been destroyed in Si, they do not interfere.
The suppressed dissatisfaction was vented along with the news of Tian Wu, the main messenger of the slaughter of Wucheng, and many companies collectively petitioned, preferring to die in Yishui to stop Tian Wu.
It was this that Yu Su frowned on.
Hit, a brigade without reinforcements, 1,500 people, can it stop 8,000 people?
The above order is to let, but the above does not understand the situation just known, to fight or not to fight?
If you fight, the whole brigade will be defeated, who will be responsible for this?
Yu Yu hesitated, and the brigade representative walked up to him and said, "What do you think? ”
The voting people in the rest of the army looked at Yu Suo one after another, Yu Suo thought about it, and finally said: "My idea is to fight." ”
"A public didn't know that Tian Wu was here, and he didn't know about it, so the order was issued because Tian Wu was not here. If we are determined to carry it out, it is a sword that is not sinful, but it is not right. ”
"Two rules...... Tian Wu, the head of the unjust order, deserves to die. The sergeant was indignant and ......"
The brigade representative said: "It's no wonder. We came from Wucheng, and you and I have seen the tragedy. The anger in the army is not a day or two, and when the rumors of the unjust order came out, the army was excited. At this time, if we knew that Tian Wu was in the Qi army, but we didn't fight, I was afraid that this brigade would be difficult to take down. ”
"If Tian Wu doesn't die, then what is there to talk about benefiting the world? The people of Qidi are suffering, well, we can't see it, we don't care; The people of Chu are suffering, well, we can't see it, for the sake of the overall situation, we have to form an alliance with the Chu people...... We have really seen everything in this martial city, if we still don't care, what are we talking about benefiting the world? ”
The brigade representative was a little excited, and Yu Su asked the rest of the people: "What about your opinion?" ”
The rest of the people said: "It should have been fought." ”
Yu Su nodded, took out a piece of paper and handed it to the brigade representative: "Write, if something goes wrong, let's take it." Send someone to send the news back immediately, we will drag Tian Wu, if we really can't hold it back, we will die here, and it can be regarded as taking care of the things that harm the world, and strive to punish those who have harmed the world, and it will not be in vain for us to benefit the world. ”
