After the letter was written, the brigade representative signed his name first, and then everyone present signed his name, and immediately called the herald to send it back in the starry night.

The morale of the army is high, and they know that the enemy is outnumbered, but they are not afraid.

Even if he wanted to fight, he couldn't fight indiscriminately, and Yu Su thought that he didn't have the ability to annihilate 8,000 enemy troops with a brigade of soldiers, and if he was to fight an ambush, it would be impossible to think about it.

Because Tian Wu knew that there was a brigade of soldiers here, he would be cautious, and it was precisely because of the existence of this brigade that he came forward to appease the soldiers and tempt the soldiers with military merits, wanting to let the soldiers fight to the death.

This place is in the Yishui Yi Mountain, there is only one big road to pass, Tian Wu's army must take this road if they want to pass.

The road along the river was so wide that the soldiers of the first brigade could not defend it at all, so several people discussed it and set the battlefield in a narrow section at the back.

The terrain was narrow, and although it was impossible to ambush, a brigade of soldiers could defend it.

In this way, this narrow terrain made the eight thousand soldiers in Tian Wu's hands only use a few thousand.

Yu Wu's side can't be ambushed, and Tian Wu's side can't raid the flank.

After selecting the battlefield, the brigade immediately set out, and arranged wooden antlers, dog walks, traps, and other objects to block the impact of the chariots on the predetermined battlefield.

There are only two small cannons in the brigade, and they can shoot iron bullets weighing more than a catty, which is not the kind of heavy bronze cannon that the main force of the righteous division is attached to, and the effect can not be great.

A brigade of 1,500 men, half of them musketeers and half spearmen, was actually very bad for defense.

The Mo family is good at defending the city, but they have taken the initiative to attack in several major battles, and the formation has developed more and more in a direction conducive to attack.

Half of the musketeers and half of the spearmen, lined up in seven or eight columns, which is conducive to the effect of muskets, to maneuver, and to attack......

But in the absence of a large number of spearmen, cavalry flanks, and artillery support, this configuration is very unfavorable for defense, especially when a narrow battlefield is chosen, and it is impossible for either side to steal the flank with tactics.

The advantage of the righteous division's combat strength lies in the cooperation of artillery and cavalry, the flank raid during the decisive battle and the rapid battlefield maneuver of the foot soldiers, forming a situation in which the local advantage of the battlefield is to fight more and fight less.

But this is in terms of strategy, and it will be difficult to fight alone at the brigade level, and if these advantages are not available.

This is clear to both Yu and the brigade representatives, who have studied in military academies, and Shi has said more than once: 40,000 well-equipped righteous teachers can not be afraid of the 80,000 heavy soldiers of the princes of various countries. However, if it is put on companies and brigades, its advantages are not so great.

Several people in the brigade discussed it and decided to rearrange the formation.

Instead of the more mobile and offensive thin horizontal units, the spearmen were combined in twos, increasing the depth, and placing the musketeers on the sides and fronts to hinder the Qi attack.

Completely abandon the possibility of pursuing and marching to turn the tide on the battlefield, and use a bulky large formation to resist Tian Wu's attack, because they understand that they cannot defeat Tian Wu with a brigade of soldiers, as long as they can delay for four or five days, even if they win, they can be regarded as having completed the task.

…………

Tian Wu, who was in the mood of escaping death and showing off his ambitions, stood on the chariot, looked at the formation of the brigade on the opposite side, and said with a forced smile: "Yesterday has passed the Yishui, and if the formation is broken today, the road ahead will be unimpeded." ”

"The tyrannical division of the Mo family is strong, and all the princes are afraid of are martial knights and bronze cannons, and there should be nothing at all today, so there is no need to be afraid."

Although he smiled on his face, his heart had actually been cast a shadow by the Mo family's righteous master.

When the army was first dispatched, he was complacent, and in the past six months, he has lost consecutive battles, and he has become panicked from the original complacency. When it comes, it is like a crab on the coast of the East China Sea, but when it returns, it is like a turtle in the tail painting.

The military formations on the opposite side are very ordinary and common, and they are the formations that all countries will place, which are neither strange nor peculiar.

The spearmen were in dense formation, with musketeers in front and on either side of the spearmen.

The terrain is narrow, and there is no place for either side to use a strategy.

Tian Wu felt that he had no last resort, as long as he broke through here, then everything he planned could be realized.

But all this is premised on defeating the other side......

The nobles around them had solemn faces, they knew that there would be such a battle, and they had been mentally prepared for a long time, but they were still worried at this time.

A nobleman said: "The words of the Mo family are extremely demagogic. This brigade has only 1,000 soldiers, and our army has 8,000 soldiers, and it is terrible that they dare to fight and not retreat. ”

"The banner is clear, the army is not chaotic, it seems that the soldiers know that they are outnumbered and our army is numerous, but they are not alarmed. How exactly is this done? ”

"Besides, this detachment is here, it could not have been beaten, and no one would have pursued it, so they still wanted to fight? If everyone in Linzi is like this, how can the Qi country not be strong? ”

In their eyes, it is already incomprehensible that a small force that is separated from the main force can dare to line up without running and take the initiative to fight without being separated from the main force.

The incomprehensible always brings the panic of the unknown.

Tian Wu said: "Even if the words of the Mo family can deceive people's hearts and talk about the will of heaven, they can't let most of the people behind them march a hundred miles in a day, let alone fly over. ”

"Eight thousand elites, in the face of a brigade of soldiers, are you afraid?"

As he spoke, a burst of black clouds suddenly drifted from the originally clear sky.

Tian Wu looked up at the sky, this summer day is really changing, there is a faint rumbling thunder in the distance, and milky yellow clouds rise and roll from the east.

Tian Wu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "God help me!" God help me! The Mo family talks about Tianzhi, but I'm afraid that what they are talking about is not the real Tianzhi, otherwise, how can the Emperor of Heaven rain at this time? The mandate of heaven is in the Tian family, but it is not in the Mo family where Miao talks about Tianzhi! ”

At this time, it is impossible to fight when it rains, the bowstring will be wet, the ground will be muddy, and the rain will not be able to maintain the formation.

But the most important thing, which made Tian Wu laugh the most, was that once it rained, the biggest advantage of the Mo family was gone.

The rest of the nobles were also excited, and many people said: "Could it be that the destiny of heaven is really in Gongziwu?" Otherwise, how could it be sunny just now, but suddenly it rained? ”

Tian Wu said: "Gentlemen, the Mo family is nothing more than gunpowder and firearms. If today's fate is in Qi, the Mo family believes that there is no destiny in the world, but how to explain it now? ”

"The Mo family doesn't have gunpowder, so what's the fear?"

"This rain comes and goes quickly, it's nothing more than that the chariot can't be impacted, and the bow and arrow are difficult to shoot, but if you form a hand-to-hand fight, can't hundreds of warriors and eight thousand strong men break through this brigade of soldiers?"

"The Mo family only relies on gunpowder, as long as the gunpowder is not released, the tyrannical army of the Mo family will not be able to fight!"

He keenly grabbed the fighter, and now the rain has not fallen, but the fighter has appeared.

Launching an attack before it rains would put the Mo family in a dilemma.

He believed that the Mo family would also be prepared for the rain, just as the crossbowmen would put away their bowstrings on rainy days, and the muskets on the opposite side would also be protected by wooden boxes and the like.

But if the attack were to be launched now, would the brigade on the opposite side use muskets or not?

If you don't use it, you will definitely not be able to hold the first wave of shock.

If you use it, if it rains for a while, the gunpowder and musket will be wet, how can you use it?

…………

On the opposite position, Yu Su and the officers around him also looked worried, and many of them gritted their teeth and looked at the dark clouds rolling in the sky.

They didn't think that this was the destiny of heaven or anything like that, and in their eyes the clouds in the sky were not gods, but just water from the earth and the sea that rose into the sky.

As for the thunder, there are no gods, but it is a very common thing.

They were convinced that one day, people would know the Celestial Will, when it was going to rain and when it was going to be sunny.

Probably not now, but they are sure that one day it will be like this, this is the mythical "paradise" of their dreams, and it is also the future they are fighting for so far as to see only some hints of it.

There is no Mandate of Heaven.

This is the righteousness of the Mo family.

And now, the clouds that suddenly rolled up in their eyes, and the rain that was about to fall, had nothing to do with destiny.

In their eyes, it was nothing more than a "known" inference: if it rained, the muskets would not be used, and half of the musketeers would have only short swords and wooden forks, which would be difficult to use.

Another result is that after the rain, the enemy's chariots cannot be used for the time being, and it is difficult for the infantry to attack, and when the rain falls, it is the time to collect troops on the opposite side.

This is a real reality, and it is also the reason why Yu Su and others cursed and frowned.

The drums on the opposite side had been beaten, and the soldiers here were also somewhat flustered, and many people looked up at the sky, stomping their feet, looking anxious.

"We can't hold it without muskets."

This is the thought of many non-commissioned officers, and this is a very simple inference, so the officers including Yu Su also think this way, and they will think this way.

But the formation has already been deployed, and if you withdraw in front of the formation at this time, it will be a fate of being slaughtered.

Yu Su immediately decided: "Let the muskets of each company be put away and placed under the cowhide tent and patent leather cloth, and the artillery will also be covered with cowhide." The arquebuses should be collected in a centralized manner and should not be splashed by rain. ”

"It's going to rain soon, and it's hard for the Qi people to attack when it rains, and they are in this wave as soon as they go, as long as we can hold on, we can still form a formation and use guns after the rain."

"The Qi people are impatient, and they want to rush to attack before the rain, forcing our muskets to be wet in the rain and unable to use them, and their bows and crossbow muskets will not be used at this time, and they must be full of impact."

An officer said impatiently: "I don't think so. The sky has changed, and we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to resist. If the Qi people want to be vigorous, we might as well kill a few more before we die. ”

"Even if you die, you should die vigorously. If we abandon the gun now, and Qi people rush forward, how can we stop it? ”

Many people also feel that this should be the case, the defeat is decided, they are not afraid of death, but they hope to be able to make a bang before death, so that those nobles who show off their power will die before the rain, or the last shot of their lives.

The representative of the brigade, who had been silent, stood up and said: "Comrades, the musket is certainly a sharp weapon that shakes the princes and shakes the world of old diseases with our successive victories. But we don't just rely on muskets and gunpowder to win. ”

"What we rely on is more the belief that we will die for the benefit of the world; It relies on the discipline of the upper and lower armies; relied on a formation that had been difficult to shake for several years; Relying on the ambition to save the world and create a happy land. ”

"Without muskets, can't you stop a wave of Qi people's impact? We are not afraid of death, but our hearts are for the benefit of the world, and every life is a hundred times more noble than those filthy nobles, why should we vigorously just exchange our lives? ”

"The brigade commander's method is right, as long as we withstand a wave of impact from the Qi people, we can resist for a longer time after that, and it is more likely that the reinforcements will catch up and let Tian Wu, who slaughtered Wucheng, die under the judgment of the people of the world."
