More than ten days later, the mighty envoys and the northbound and westbound teams set off from Peidi, and many of them had just learned to ride horses and walked very slowly.

But Zhuxia is very big, and from Peidi to Qindi, he has always learned.

Suo Lu Shen had to lead a team to Wei first, from Wei to Qin through the West River, and before entering Qin, he would go to see Sheng Yi as a personal friend.

In the matter of the westward journey, the Mo family hopes that Qin Gongzilian can also send people to participate, even if it is just a few people in a symbolic form. At the same time, it is also necessary to find Yang Zhu and Lie Yukou in Wei Di, and let their disciples also participate, after all, after fighting a verbal battle for so long, it is time to verify it with reality.

The envoys were not all on the same path, bypassing the weak and unspeakable Wei, Lu and other countries that had no sense of existence at all, and wanted to go to Sanjin and Qichu.

…………

In the north of Daliang City, on the north bank of Pushui, 50,000 Jin divisions have been confronting Chu across the river for a year.

This is the embodiment of national strength, such as the Mo family Yishi recruited more than 20,000 people with all his might, and only dared to fight on the inner line due to logistical pressure, and could only last for a few months.

As the first power in the world at this time, 50,000 Wei troops were stationed here for another two or three years, and the Wei State still shouldered it.

With the temporary relaxation of relations between Qin Jun and Xinqi and Wei and Qin, and the prince's unsuccessful battle against Niu Yi, Wei Si finally decided to take advantage of the opportunity that he was still alive and used Wu Qi as the commander of the battle against Chu this time.

Strive to solve the problem of Chu before Weiss dies, so that the prince of Chu will divide Chu by virtue of inheritance and domestic support of Chu.

In the camp of the army, Wei pawns are practicing, or wrestling and jujuing as a play. The army was encamped, orderly, and the military law was strict, which was exactly the result of Wu Qi's one-year reign.

In the manager's account, Wu Qi, who is in his fifties, is no longer the appearance of killing more than 30 people in a row in the market when he was young and frivolous, and has white hair like a vine outside the window and quietly climbed to the sideburns.

He knelt beside the desk, because of the appearance of the straw silk in Pei County, the necessary bamboo slips on the desk more than ten years ago were gone, but there were a few more books.

On the left side of the table, there is a thick stack of paper, all of which are of the highest grade.

Next to the paper, there was a copper compass that had just appeared and came from Peixian; a brass ruler; A wooden protractor.

Next to these tools, there is a book of "Simple Nine Numbers and Geometry", which is often flipped through and has some black finger marks.

At this time, Wu Qi was looking at a few pictures on the desk with relish.

One is a map of the defense of Niu Langyi, which was placed here after being transcribed and enlarged by a warlock in the army, from the book that introduced rational thinking and the relationship between geometry and the defense of the city.

Next to it, there is a very "interesting" map, which is the city wall map of Daliang City.

A few years ago, after the First World War in Shangqiu, the now late King Chu Sheng only said that he was "willing" to fight for the benefit of the world, and hired the Mo family to build and repair the two cities of Daliang and Yuguan with brick-making techniques.

Although Yuguan was secretly attacked by Zheng Guo, and although the current King of Chu saw hope because of the death of the three Jin monarchs, he reneged on the covenant of killing the soldiers back then, but the people sent by the Mo family to build the two cities have not stopped.

Now that the renovation has been completed, the Mo family has drawn a picture of this city and spread it outside.

It may seem like an attempt to illustrate the difference between the old walls and the new forts, but it is a bit too detailed.

According to the way of comparing with the fortress defense like Niuqiyi, the above method of calculation was used one by one to put forward where the old-style Daliang City had loopholes, where it was suitable for attacking, where it was insufficient, and where it was convenient to deploy troops.

These things are written too clearly, but Daliang City has been repaired, and this picture is said to have only circulated within Pei County, but "I don't know" somehow ran into Wu Qi's hand.

In recent years, as the Mo family has done too much to attack and defend the city, Wu Qi also began to learn the Mo family's writing, and even began to learn geometry from some warlocks who had studied in Pei County.

A few years ago, I bought a few cannons from Pei County, and this time, in addition to leaving a few in Xihe, the rest have also been pulled here, and Xihe has begun to form some stirrup cavalry.

Originally, there were stirrupless cavalry in Xihe, and according to "Liutao", it was called a martial knight. This knight is not the other knight, from the perspective of the feudal system, the knight is more like a taxi with a small fief at this time, and it is mainly based on chariot warfare at this time.

The original text said: King Wu asked the prince: "Why choose a knight?" Taigong said: "The method of choosing a knight, take the age of less than forty, more than seven feet five inches long, strong and swift, superb, etc., can gallop and shoot, front and back, left and right around the advance and retreat, over the ditch, climb the hills, risk resistance, absolute Daze, gallop strong enemy, chaos of the public, the name of the warrior horseman, must not be thick." ”

Wei is different from Yue, and the Yue country is not suitable for cavalry, so it is mainly infantry. And Wu Qi was in Xihe, and he attached great importance to war horses, so he had the configuration of martial knights early, but they were all without stirrups.

The appearance of stirrups has made the force of Xihe directly rise to a level, and those knights who were originally able to ride stirrupless horses to "cross ravines, climb hills, take risks, and conquer the great Ze, gallop strong enemies, and mess with the public" can free their hands and play better.

This time, there were also 500 martial knights in the camp of attacking Chu.

Originally, Wu Qi was confident in defeating the Chu people, but now he is even more confident, but he is still exploring the tactical mastery of stirrup cavalry and a small number of copper cannons, because the previous art of war did not have these contents, and he can only rely on himself to ponder, or rely on the news from the Mo family.

At this time, he took the bronze compass, dipped one end in ink, and used the ruler as a line to draw the range of foot soldiers that Daliang City could expand from the attack point he had chosen.

Wu Qi couldn't help but think that when he first came into contact with the book "Simple Nine Numbers Geometry" a year ago, he was quite puzzled by the sentence "There is no width in the line segment, only the length", and he thought that even if the line is very thin, if it is measured with a finer centimeter, how can there be no width?

Rao is this question, he thought about it for two months, and finally figured out the joints, and looked up to the sky and smiled. He is also extremely intelligent, drawing inferences from one another, and actually coarsely explaining a lot of content that seems extremely "unreasonable".

When he was planning, suddenly there was a person's footsteps and the sound of an announcement outside the big tent, it was his cronies, who were in a hurry, obviously in a hurry.

Although it was quiet, it was suddenly a little chaotic at this time, but the ruler in Wu Qi's hand did not move, which was the style of a general.

Hearing the hurried footsteps of his cronies, he put down the ruler in his hand and asked, "But there is a winner between the Mo family and the Yue Kingdom?" ”

A few months ago, there was news that Yue Wang Peng wanted to recapture Tengdi, and there would be a war between the Mo family and the Yue Kingdom.

The cronie couldn't help the surprise on his face, and said loudly: "The righteous master of the Mo family is on the bank of the water, and he has annihilated nearly 50,000 Vietnamese troops, and only 2,000 of his own side have died. Yue Wang Phong was captured! The Yue Junzi army is completely wiped out! ”

Rao is as calm as Wu Qi, and when he heard the news, he immediately got up and asked movingly, "Is this serious?" ”

The cronie nodded and said, "The Mo family's envoy is going north, and the news has come." ”

No matter how much it is, there is no need to say, the Mo family never lies, Wu Qi recognized the characters of the Mo family when he was young, and it will not be wrong if he said that it was the envoy of the Mo family.

But this news is too shocking, the Yue Gentlemen's Army is also the top of the foot, invincible, it is by relying on those thousands of Gentlemen's Army that the Yue Kingdom can stand firm on the heel of hegemony.

But the Junzi army was all wiped out?

50,000 Vietnamese troops were wiped out, and only 2,000 righteous teachers died?

Almost instantly, Wu Qi guessed a rough idea.

It was not an ambush battle between the valleys like the Battle of Kun, and it was won while the Yue people did not start.

It's that the two wings of the Yue people were wrapped by the stirrup cavalry of the Mo family, otherwise how could they be completely annihilated?

Although I thought of it, I was still shocked, the Mo family has been too active in recent years, and the battle of Shangqiu is said to be an alliance with the king of Chu, but in fact, everyone knows that it was a raid on the camp of the king of Chu and captured the king of Chu.

Now that the king of Yue has been captured again, and there is not a single one of the 50,000 troops left in the Yue country, I can't help but be a little shocked.

The spies in Pei County also came with news before, and the total number of righteous teachers is only 30,000, and they may not have arrived.

Shocked, Wu Qi hurriedly asked, "Who is the boss?" What is the right tassel? Or is it a public metallurgy? ”

The cronie said: "It is exactly the right time." ”

The suitability of the tartar is the name of these people. The name is mostly in this way, because the name may be repeated, so the occupation, identity or surname will be added in front of it to distinguish it.

After the cronie finished speaking, he took out a few pieces of paper in his arms and said, "Everyone in the Mo family has drawn a map of this battle......

Wu Qi was overjoyed, and said continuously: "Bring it quickly, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

The cronie frowned and said, "I'm afraid I don't know if it's true or not." The method of the military formation is a secret that cannot be passed on, and the Mohists wrote it like this, aren't they afraid that the world will learn it? ”

Wu Qi laughed and said, "Da Miao! Since the Yanhuang War Chi is especially in Zhuolu, it has been two thousand years, it is said that the formation is only ten, the siege technique is only twelve, and the troops are not more than cars, pawns, horses, and bows...... Mistakes made on the battlefield have been made by people in the past 2,000 years, is it possible that no one will make mistakes again? ”

"The art of war is dead, but man is alive. They all learn the same art of war, they all have the same chariot foot soldiers, why do they win and lose? How can the art of war be taught when the battlefield is cut off at the imminent opportunity? ”

The cronies bowed and sent the picture.

Wu Qi unfolded it, and when he saw it, this picture was from the hands of the Mo family. The superscript north and south, the subscript "scale", the river and hills are all described, the front line is neatly drawn by the ruler, and the approximate time is also written on each map.

The cannon is like a cross, shown on the picture. The foot soldiers are like a moment, while the cavalry is replaced by a triangle, and the Yue people and chariots are replaced by a circle.

There were a total of eight maps, and Wu Qi quickly flipped through them to the end, which was similar to what he expected, it was a standard flank outflank battle.

It's just that after flipping through it, he didn't think about it immediately, but quickly took the ruler, flipped through the fifth and sixth maps of the key to the battle, that is, the two that the right flank of the righteous division began to maneuver on the battlefield, looked at the time on it, and measured the distance of the mobile march on the battlefield with the ruler, and shook his head a little incredible.

But then he put the ruler on the desk, tapped the desk with his fingers, and exclaimed: "It's really a strong army!" If I have this army of 70,000, Kyushu will be invincible! ”
