This is not a simple battle of shock and countershock.

On one side are the slaves and slaves of the nobles, samurai, and nobles who have been trained since childhood; On one side were the cavalry of the good family, which was dominated by yeoman farmers and members of the co-farming society.

On the one hand, he used his financial resources to buy iron armor obtained from Sishang at a high price, and high-quality horses purchased from merchants; On one side are similar military horses that are dressed in standard leather armor and trained on horseback farms or transported from the Zhongshan Kingdom.

On one side, it is centered on various nobles, and slaves and domestic slaves are surrounded by their own relatives and relatives; On one side are equal comrades in the company.

In a way, this is a symbolic battle, no less than the symbolic battle between the righteous division of Sishang and the army of the gentlemen of the Yue Kingdom.

Even though, the scale seems a little small.

After the instigation of Wei Han's main generals, both sides were full of confidence.

The nobles on Wei Han's side saw with their own eyes the reality that the left flank of the Mochu coalition army was about to collapse, and they were also sure that they and these well-trained and well-equipped slaves around them had strong combat effectiveness, although they didn't dare to say that they could fight ten against one, but there was no problem with one enemy and three.

They still had some remnants of aristocratic pride—the pride of something that should have been shattered by gunpowder, that they once did, that one person who was out of production was enough to break away a hundred apprentices.

In their eyes, the righteous master of Sishang is a heretic.

The military system should not be like Sishang Yishi, or even the Xihe warriors. The most aristocratic military system should be chariots, samurai who are out of production, nobles wearing heavy armor, slaves who are excellent in martial arts, and scholars who take refuge in the nobility...... and those who are supported by the demoralization of the spear.

A drum, a rush to disperse, the drum staggered, the victory and defeat have been divided, and then the winner does not chase, and the nobles will still be friends when they meet in the future, and they can still get married.

It has been so since ancient times, and it has always been.

Therefore, in addition to their confidence, they also have a lot of hatred for the Mo cavalry on the opposite side.

On the Mo family's side, the cavalry are also full of confidence.

Many of them have fought wars, and they know very well that one-on-one is not necessarily the opponent of the nobles, but war is never a one-on-one thing.

Many cavalrymen who had been born in the Zhao State had seen the Hu people with excellent riding skills, but Gao Liu stood tall for a long time, and the Mo family won more and lost less, even if it was a battle of more than 100 people, those Hu people with excellent riding skills were not their opponents.

There were also some officers who had participated in the wars of the previous alignment, and had seen well-armed nobles and noble slaves and samurai, but in fact, it was just like that, and the hedge was only three times before the opposite side collapsed, and ...... They rely more on martial arts and instinct to fight, and lack tactical coordination.

This is also the reason why many people know that there are still some forces around the main general of Wei Han, but they still think that those are just chickens and dogs, and they are not enough to pose a threat at all and choose to go straight to the main general of the Chinese army.

…………

Meanwhile.

The left flank of the Chu army.

Chen Cai's division's defensive line had collapsed, and except for a few infantry formations that were still holding out, the infantry on the left had already fled.

Wei Han's cavalry was chasing the fleeing Chu, and some of them were caught in a bitter battle with the phalanx.

The main force of the Wei and Han coalition forces had already arrived, and they were about to complete the outflanking by relying on the slow speed, and the Wei and Han forces concentrated the main force on the right flank, that is, to use the advantage of the right flank to crush the rout of Chen Cai's division.

However, the superiority of the new army of Chu finally burst out at this critical moment.

The new army of the Wang Division, which was in the second line of preparation, had undergone far better discipline training than before, and when the drums sounded, they quickly turned and quickly maneuvered towards the left flank.

They were competing for time with Wei Han's infantry phalanx, Wei Han's cavalry was already scattered, and there was no ability to attack again, Wei Han's biggest reliance was on those foot soldiers.

A thinner formation means more speed, which needs to be tested by war, and it takes blood to make Wei Han learn this lesson.

Under the leadership of General Chu, the new army of the three brigades of Wang Shi moved to the left with a marching speed nearly twice that of the Wei and Han heavy formations, and the entire formation changed extremely quickly.

The eyes of the chief general of Wei Han did not look at the cavalry battle that was close at hand, but calmed down, not listening to the voice of the cavalry behind at all, but staring at the left flank of the Chu army with a telescope.

The Wei Han military formation in the telescope moved like a turtle, there was no way, this kind of large array could only go so fast.

Even if the march was so slow, the front army formation was already about to complete the outflanking, and it would soon be able to launch an attack and completely crush the Chu army with the phalanx.

However, there was a scene in the telescope that shocked him.

Some of the Chu troops, far faster than the Wei and Han heavy formations, quickly moved towards the left flank.

The main general of Wei Han was secretly shocked in his heart, with this speed of marching, he was afraid that by the time his heavy infantry soldiers completed the outflanking, these Chu troops had already blocked the flanks.

The battle between the Chinese army and the left flank was all Chu attacking Wei and defending, this time it was for Wei to attack Chu and defending, could they hold it?

Can you hold the crush of the heavy formations like the moving peaks of the mountains?

None of this is known.

But the Lord General Wei Han understood that those Mo cavalry behind him were very annoying, but it did not make him completely impossible to win.

The reliance of the Chu army is still those prepared foot soldiers, can these foot soldiers hold on? How long can it last?

In the telescope, he could see a total of three brigades of the Chu army maneuvering to the left flank, which was not much, that is, three horizontal formations, and they were close in batches, with only two horizontal formations at the front.

And opposite them, there was a heavy formation of five foot soldiers of his Pythagorean array, which was numerically superior.

In his experience, it was difficult for the enemy to defend under such a heavy attack, especially in such a chaotic situation.

Lord Wei Han still didn't look back to watch the results of the battle, he only needed a quarter of an hour.

In a quarter of an hour, the closest heavy infantry formation to him could form a defense, and it was impossible for those nasty Mo cavalry to win.

In a quarter of an hour, he defeated the heavy phalanx of Chen Cai's division to complete the outflanking, and besieged the central army of the Chu army from the front, right, and rear.

According to his understanding, the foot soldiers will not move so fast, and if they are too fast, the formation will be scattered and difficult to fight.

But the new army of Chu State showed the role of formation and discipline right now, and completed the adjustment and deployment before the most precious quarter of an hour arrived.

At this time, the Wei and Han army formations, which were slow to relocate, had just completed the outflanking, but they were blocked by the three brigades of the new army of the Chu king's division, making their outflanking meaningless.

The musketeers of the new army of the state of Chu heard the officer's order.

"Six to three, salvo ready!"

After the order was given, the arquebusiers, who had been lined up in six columns, quickly changed formation, replacing their thinking with a mechanical, much-trained maneuver.

Just like the four-column column in the physical education class of junior high school students in later generations became an eight-column column, which in itself was a kind of experience of fighting for life on the battlefield and exchanging blood for lessons, and it was also an extremely formal military training.

If you can do this, you can call it a strong army at this time.

After changing the six-column column into three columns, the first row squatted on the ground, the second row stood up, and the third row stood between the gaps in the second row.

The spearman in the middle struck the spear and raised it flat.

The regrouped Cheguang cavalry began to drive away the Wei and Han cavalry, which were loose and lone due to the pursuit of the rout and the shock formation, and maintained the security of the flanks under the leadership of the adjutant general of the Chu state.

The Wei and Han heavy formations on the far right had already approached, and the musketeers in the Wei and Han armies had already begun to shoot, but the new army of Chu was still on its side, waiting for orders.

Wei Han's heavy phalanx approached step by step, and Wei Han's main general's eyes were also fixed on that battlefield.

If...... If the Chu army can't hold it, then the previous cover and the detour of the cavalry will be meaningless.

The distance was so far away that no sound could be heard in the telescope, but the general of Wei Han seemed to hear the shouts of Wei Han's heavy pawns.

Sixty steps, fifty steps......

Approaching step by step, one by one the musketeers of the Chu State who were ready to attack were shot and fell by the musketeers in the gap between the Wei and Han heavy formations, but the Chu people still did not move, and the formation was still not scattered.

At this moment, Lord Wei Han saw a continuous stream of white smoke rising at the same time, and everything in the telescope had been obscured.

Lord Wei Han waited anxiously, and when another north wind blew, and everything there was clear again in the expensive telescope, he saw an unbelievable scene.

The two most flanked Wei and Han phalanxes had already collapsed, and the spearmen deployed in those Chu army musketeers launched a counterattack.

It was clear that it was already close at hand, and it only took a few dozen more steps for the heavy foot soldiers to wipe out the musketeers, but they didn't.

The Wei Han heavy foot soldiers, who had suffered the thunderous blow just now, seemed to be frightened, gave up the last thirty steps, and began to rout.

Lord Wei Han dropped the telescope in his hand to the ground, his hands covered his chest, his face was pale, he was breathing heavily, and his eyes were half-closed.

"Defeated. Everything is useless. They can hold it. Even if those Mo cavalry are defeated and retreated, as long as the left flank can still hold on, our army has been defeated. It's just the difference between losing now and losing an hour later. ”

"Defeated...... Defeated. ”

He knew very well what the thunder and smoke that was happening in the distance meant.

It means that the left flank of Chu can hold out for at least one hour, and it means that the left flank of Chu can hold out even in the event of the defeat of Chen Cai's division, which means that the Mochu coalition army still has reserves......

This means that even if the Mo cavalry behind them is driven away, they can calmly impact and disintegrate their own disadvantaged left flank.

It means that with the marching speed of the Chu army and the support of those cavalry, the Mochu coalition will complete the counter-outflanking of him before he readjusts his deployment.

It means that the artillery advantage of the Mochu coalition army can bombard the Wei and Han heavy infantry formations with deeper depth and denser formations, while the advantages of the middle army and the right flank of the Mochu coalition army will continue to be expanded by these bronze cannons, and before their own heavy infantry formation Pythagorean formation breaks through the left flank of the Chu army, their own middle army and left flank will collapse, and a counter-encirclement will soon be formed, because the formation of the Chu army will go faster.

It means that if it takes an hour to break through the newly arranged left flank of the Chu army, then in an hour, the Chu people's central army and right flank, which have the advantage of cavalry and artillery, will inevitably break through their own defense line with insufficient troops.

And if it wasn't this scene in the telescope just now, but Wei Han's heavy formation and the thin formation of the Chu Division's new army fighting together, everything would have been different; Going back a quarter of an hour, if the second-line reserves of the Chu army did not have such a fast marching speed, everything would have been different.

Defeat is decided.

The main general of Wei Han finally turned his head and went to see the victory or defeat of the Mo cavalry and his own nobles.

It doesn't matter if the battle is won or lost.

It's just about ...... Can he take half of the people back to Xu? Or is it all annihilated......
