A few who were far away on both wings did not have time to run, and were stabbed by the wooden spears brought up by the horses, and the cavalry let go of the wooden spears in their hands, not only for fear that they would be taken off their horses by the shock of the impact, but also for fear that their comrades behind would stab themselves.

The musketeers on the flanks were completely scattered, and instead of pursuing and slashing, the cavalry switched to iron swords and regrouped in the rear on the orders of the company commander.

The cavalrymen who charged the spearmen head-on were stabbed by the spears of the Qi army more than a dozen times, but they also rushed away from the infantry in the front row.

The cavalry who fell off their horses luckily did not break their necks, and took out their daggers or their own short guns, and fought in confusion.

I don't know who threw down the spear first and ran back, one person led dozens of people, the formation of the Qi army quickly messed up, and the cavalry who threw away the wooden spear chased and slashed with an iron sword, but did not pursue too far, and heard the sound of the horn, and turned back to regroup.

The rout of this group of Qi troops immediately attracted the attention of the main general of the Qi army in the camp.

Since the reform of the military system and tactics, there are actually not many qualified generals, and there are not many who can command thousands of people to fight and be able to do it in an orderly manner.

The Qi general who stayed here and delayed was considered one, but if he was asked to command the main force of the coalition army of tens of thousands of people, he would be at a loss and could only choose to form a tortoise formation to defend it.

Putting it here can be regarded as making the best use of people.

Although he has the ability, the situation is pressing, and he has no choice.

There are more than 11,000 Mo family forwards, and he is only 6,000.

The Mo family had at least 1,500 cavalry in the front, and he only had two or three hundred.

Not to mention the number of copper cannons.

To defend here, this is not something that can be done by him having a certain heart to die.

In fact, he felt that he had done a good job, stuck the key position, avoided the Mo family's artillery so that he could form a local counterattack, if the main force was fortified by the river, once it was broken through the riverbank, it would be dispersed.

It is conceivable that it will eventually become a reality, and it still depends on the fight between the two anti-dumpers.

The frontal cavalry led away the light cavalry that entangled the Mo family who crossed the river first, and after the Mo family's vanguard infantry crossed the river, he also organized a counterattack immediately, but with little effect.

The number of counterattacks can't be too much, because he needs to stick to the camp to defend the flank, and the Mo family has a lot of troops, so he can divide his troops from the flank, and he can only take out seven or eight hundred people at most to counterattack in the front.

If the whole line is counterattacked, and there is no cavalry cover on the flanks, the cavalry on the flanks of the Mo family, who annoys him, will seize the opportunity to disrupt them.

In fact, after the Mo family light cavalry on the left flank crossed the river, he had already noticed it, so he deployed seven or eight hundred troops on the left flank, but accidentally exposed a gap.

A company of infantry could not resist the onslaught of the cavalry on the opposite side, and now he needed to guess or predict what those cavalry wanted to do?

Is it to continue to assault in the direction of the barracks after defeating that company to create a frontal opportunity? Or is there something else going on?

The cavalry of three companies may play a great role, for example, if the Mojia troops crossing the river in front have already deployed artillery and are ready to attack, once this cavalry in the flank and rear rushes to the center, it will cause great confusion.

If he had a cavalry in his hand, he would naturally use it to drive away the cavalry on the flanks, but he didn't.

He didn't know the true purpose of the Mo family's cavalry, so he could only guess, and if he guessed right, this was the talent of a general.

And the flaws in the selection of the deputy brigade commanders of the Mo cavalry of the three companies on the opposite side were very perfect, especially after breaking up the Qi army company with one blow, they took the initiative.

Breaking up that company meant that the cavalry would pose a great threat if they seized the opportunity to surprise on the flanks.

Occupies the position of the initiative and has a lot of choices.

You can take the opportunity to raid the main commander and cause chaos during a frontal melee; It can also force the Qi army to mobilize the support of the flanks in a frontal melee.

However, at that time, the purpose of the deputy brigade commander of the cavalry was only the four bronze cannons.

The commander of the Qi army needs to think about the overall situation, he is the weak side, and he needs to think about how to hold on until the end to win the last time, and there can be no large-scale rout before that.

The deputy brigade commander of the Mo cavalry does not need to consider the overall situation, their main task is only to respond, and under the advantage of troops, they can win by crossing the river head-on, and all he has to consider is to have more combat exploits on the premise of completing the task.

The two sides considered different levels, and the commander-in-chief of the Qi army finally issued an order for the sake of the overall situation, allowing the infantry of several companies on the flanks to approach there, make a posture to cut off the siege, and drive away these hateful light cavalry.

As soon as the order was issued, the attention of the commander-in-chief of the Qi army was attracted by the positive battle situation.

The front was not smooth, and the Mo family's infantry successfully counterattacked after a volley, and the formation had been consolidated.

Those bronze cannons were passing through the pontoon bridge, and the mouse-like Mojia sappers had already dug improvised camp positions.

If those bronze cannons had succeeded in crossing the river and had started on this side of the river, the battle would have been lost, and it would have been impossible to hold out until the evening anyway.

Now it is only necessary to do everything in your power and fight back again. If he defends to the death, without the advantage of artillery and cavalry, the Mo family will completely blast his camp open and besiege him on all sides.

Now it is only possible to leave a part of the men, and at the same time cooperate with the flanks, drive away the cavalry on the flanks, and gather forces to counterattack again from the front.

If you rely on the situation that the Mo family's artillery has not yet been deployed here and the infantry invested is not enough to counterattack, then once the main force of the Mo family crosses the river and deploys troops, there will be no chance.

side rear.

The deputy brigade commander of the light cavalry assembled three fully formed companies, and observed the movements of the Qi army not far from the battle where a large number of Qi troops had been slashed.

He had to pretend to continue to penetrate deep behind the flank that threatened the Qi army, and then he could effectively mobilize the infantry on the flank of the Qi army, thus creating a gap for him to surprise the Qi army's artillery.

This requires a certain amount of calculation.

The distance you go deep, the speed at which the enemy is moving, the speed at which you are withdrawing, and jumping out before the enemy joins but not jumping too early to avoid the enemy detecting.

These are not only the accumulation of ordinary training, but also the teaching of professional education, plus some practical experience.

Whether it is infantry or cavalry, if you miscalculate the distance and speed, something can happen.

In the battle of Yinyang in the past year, Wei Han misestimated the deployment speed of the new army of the Chu State's Chinese army, which led to all the plans for flank breakthroughs, and this deployment speed is closely related to training.

This does not require too much troublesome calculations, there will be summed up experience and formulas, which are something that an officer of the deputy brigade level can master. In general, it is easier than the artillery officers who need to know the geometry of nine numbers and look up the function table.

After about two quarters of an hour, the deputy brigade commander of the hussars finally had the opportunity to wait.

The two companies he wanted to mobilize were coming this way, intending to block the gap and cut off the back road, and the time was just enough for the cavalry he led to jump out of the blockade.

The cavalry of the three companies quickly turned, cut out from the junction of the two infantry companies of the Qi army, and quickly moved towards the small hill where the four guns of the Qi country were located.

With an almost perfect time difference, three cavalry companies took the hill with one charge, and the commander of the Qi artillery was hacked to death.

Just when the cavalry was chasing those artillerymen, an artilleryman from Qi shouted in a very strong Qi language mixed with the Song dialect: "Tongyi! Equal! And love! Non-offensive! Sang-hyun ......"

He shouted several times, but then he had closed his eyes, and the cavalryman with the iron sword hesitated for a moment, but did not chop.

After riding around the man a few times, the cavalryman also smiled, walked up to the man, and kicked the man on the shoulder with his shout, and said, "It's very skillful, I almost thought it wasn't on the battlefield." ”

The Qi soldier whose shoulders were already trembling also squeezed out a smile and said, "I have heard the Mo family lecture in Ganling. The prince was recruited and had to come, that is, to eat together. I am a believer in synonym, equality, and love. ”

"Although I am a human being, I am also a member of the world. People in the world love each other and benefit each other, and the Mo family does not kill prisoners, I know this. ”

The cavalry put away his iron sword and nodded at him, and the deputy brigade commander in the distance shouted, "What's the matter? ”

The cavalry hurriedly ran over and said: "Comrade Deputy Brigade Marshal, there is an artilleryman of the Qi State who said that he loves equality and does not attack, and he has listened to our lectures, Ganling." ”

When the deputy brigade commander heard this, he also came over, and without asking anything else, he asked, "Will you open fire?" Is it the gunner or the loader? ”

The Qi soldier hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." It fires and reloads. I used to listen to you lecture, and I learned some later. ”

What he said is not the same thing, Qianling is the great city of Qi, and the Mo family did give lectures there, but when it comes to the operation of artillery, it is definitely not heard when listening to lectures.

At this time, many captured Qi people were driven over, and the deputy brigade commander pointed to those people and asked, "Are there any nobles in it?" ”

Qi Ren shook his head, pointed to a corpse with his scalp cut off in the distance, and said, "That is a nobleman." The rest are the same people as me. ”

Several horsemen took hammers and nails out of their saddlebags, ready to block the fire doors of several guns on the position.

Each squad of light cavalry will be equipped with hammers and nails, leaning against stones is simply not enough to destroy these copper cannons, and light cavalry often take the opportunity to raid artillery positions on the battlefield, if the enemy counterattacks in time, the copper cannons need to be destroyed, and wedged in the fire door with nails is the most common and effective method.

The deputy brigade commander took a look at the situation on the battlefield, and now the remaining forces of the Qi army are preparing to counterattack the front, and the formation has been deployed.

He looked at the iron balls and powder kegs scattered on the ground, and turned back and shouted, "Don't wedge the nails yet!" ”

The cavalry stopped, and the deputy brigade commander walked up to the Qi artilleryman who had shouted equality and love and said, "Are you willing to do your part for the benefit of the world?" ”

The man was also a wonderful person, and hurriedly replied: "The pros and cons of the world are the responsibility of the husband." I am a person from the world, and I am inseparable from the pros and cons of the world, and I am a unified whole. Since it is for the benefit of the world, it is willing. Before, it was a last resort, and there were always family wives and daughters......"

The deputy brigade commander smiled: "Okay, then give you a chance to benefit the world." Tell your partners that the Mo family does not kill captives, but also loves the world. Tell them to turn the bronze cannon and blast the infantry over there. ”

The man nodded hurriedly, and after muttering a few words to his companions, he turned around and asked, "If you want to bombard the camp where the main general is, it's okay." Do you want to shoot them? ”

The deputy brigade commander looked at the location of the main general of the Qi army, where there were still many soldiers, so he shook his head and said: "The dry bones in the grave will be captured sooner or later." His life is not as good as that of our comrades who are facing it head-on. Boom the army. ”
