In the upcoming war, the princes' alliance is not as easy as the Mo family's side, the disparity in strength, the mistakes in the previous temple calculations, and the strategic mistakes, all of which add up to make the princes permeate an atmosphere of despair.

The effect of these 30 years of military change is still somewhat useful, and without the forced military change in these 30 years, tens of thousands of troops can only choose the turtle formation at this time.

The improvement of military technology and tactical system made it possible for the princes' coalition forces to abandon the original formation and adopt a longer and wider frontal and coordinated tactical system.

Originally, 40,000 or 50,000 people could only maintain a battle line of one or two miles, and they also needed to use a formation to cooperate, because if they did not use a formation, they would not be able to command smoothly at all, and it would be difficult to fight at all.

Now the coalition army can spread out a front about eight miles wide, which is already a great progress, otherwise it can only form a circle to hold on, and only the main general can lead some elites to drop in the key points of the battlefield to fight.

Zhou Tianzi, Qi Hou Han Hou and others, who secretly sent people to contact the Mo family, were all in a village called Sanliushe, which was named because there were three huge willow trees at the entrance of the village.

This village is on the left flank of the coalition forces, and it is a key road, and if you want to evacuate, you must defend it.

Now the Han army in Yangxia does not know when they will be able to arrive here to meet peace, and the troops of those doctors elsewhere do not know when they will be able to come to support, and in the face of the strong oppression of the Mo family, the main generals of the princes' coalition army are desperate.

After the Mo family stuck to them before, they began to gather forces to form a circle.

Originally, this time the princes' coalition army dared to go deep into Sishang, because they thought that the main force of the Mo family was in the direction of Laiwu, and the princes did not have the courage to fight with the Mo family, and they had already been frightened.

As a result, the Mo family adhered to the concept of losing the land and losing the land, and did not have much desire for Linzi at all, but always watched out for Qi Han, the last field mobile force.

The flaws in the empty city deliberately exposed on the right flank led to the advance of the main force of the Chinese army, and finally it was besieged here again, unable to move.

The Mo family has already stuck to them, and it is not so easy to run if they want to.

Blocking the southwest of Sanliushe is the partial division of the Mo family that relieved the siege of Daicheng and Chengkuang, more than 10,000 people, and has been connected with the main force of the Mo family.

If you want to break through, you have to block the attack of the main force of the Mo family in the flank, and then break through the interception of more than 10,000 people, it is obviously unrealistic, it is easy to be beaten into a situation of front and back, once the formation is dispersed, it will be a one-sided slaughter under the advantage of the plain terrain and the cavalry of the Mo family.

Originally, the princes wanted to set up a turtle formation, but several figures who knew the soldiers objected one after another, thinking that setting up a turtle formation circle was self-defeating.

Qi Xiangtian bowed and said: "Now the main force of the Mo family is around, with more than 100 cannons and 10,000 fine cavalry, if you put up a round formation, our army will be defeated." ”

"If you do a circle formation, the Mo family feints on three sides, and the main attack on one side, it is equivalent to our army blocking all the main forces of the Mo family with a quarter of the troops."

"Under the heavy bombardment of its artillery, the circle formation cannot be held."

The rest of the people also mean the same, the premise of forming a circle is to give up their last field ability.

The characteristic of the circle array is that it can make the troops dense, which makes it difficult for the Mo family to capture for a while.

However, there are also many disadvantages.

Especially when the Mo family has a large number of copper cannons, abandoning the battle line and defending with a circular formation is equivalent to using the Mo family's artillery as a target.

Moreover, the front was abandoned, shrunk into a group, and the forces could not be deployed into an offensive formation at all.

50,000 people formed a circle, and it only took about two miles to do so.

But if you want to have the ability to attack, counterattack and retreat, you need at least eight miles of the front of the battlefield, so that you can expand the formation of the troops, or fight, retreat or defend, there is still room for choice.

If you set up a circle formation, two miles away, the soldiers will have to be close together, and you can't launch an offensive formation at all, then you are really waiting for death.

The only hope for the circle formation is that the Han army in the direction of Yangxia and the Qi Wei army in the direction of Yongqiu will come over.

And what the Mo family is best at is field maneuvering, encircling points to send reinforcements, and breaking each one, when the circle cannot be fought and the reinforcements are broken, they can only be trapped here and starve to death.

Now the food of the coalition army is enough to eat for eight days, if you form a circle and give up the opportunity to withdraw and take the initiative to engage in battle, the food will be saved, at most it will be twelve or three days, if the reinforcements in the direction of Yangxia and Yongqiu cannot arrive in the twelve or three days, it will be equivalent to starving to death.

At that time, even if you want to counterattack, you can only gather about five or six thousand elites on a limited battlefield front, and then fight back to the death without flank cooperation, and the chance of winning is too small.

Several veterans who knew the army agreed with Tian Ju's statement, and some people knew that Tian Ju must have a good strategist in his hands to plan for him.

Zhou Tianzi remained silent, he secretly contacted the Mo family, on the condition of identifying with the Mo family, he just hoped to continue to maintain his identity as the son of heaven.

Qi Hou and Han Hou didn't have to retreat, the Mo family was clearly trying to kill them, and they didn't even have a chance to surrender.

In the past few days, people from South Korea and Qi have blamed each other.

The Koreans believe that it was the rash advance of the Qi people that led to the current siege.

The Qi people believe that it is the fear of the Han army in the direction of Yangxia that led the coalition forces to make a wrong judgment, if Duan Duan did not fear the Mo family like a tiger and did not dare to enter the empty city, at most Duan Duan was annihilated, why was the main force of the coalition army trapped here?

The Han people scolded Qi Hou for not knowing kindness and righteousness, and this time he sent troops to save Linzi, but now the Qi people bite back and blame the Han army.

Qi people sneered and thought that if Linzi was gone, South Korea would not be able to exist alone, and what was said to save Qi was actually to save themselves.

The two sides scolded for a long time, and finally after the main force of the Mo family caught up with them and stuck them, they began to unite sincerely, knowing that if they continued to fight, there would be no way to live.

For tomorrow's decisive battle, the princes still have "martial virtues", and they haven't thought about sitting still and not making any struggles, or they know that the Mo family is good at defending cities and attacking cities, so they will die if they defend them, and they have to find a way to reverse the disadvantage.

Qi Xiangtian Ju said about the idea given by his strategist, and he said: "Qi Zhi Linzi, how good a horse race the son is." There is a difference between the upper horse, the middle horse, and the lower horse. There were people who raced horses, and the lower horses against the upper horses, the upper horses against the middle horses, and the middle horses against the lower horses, they were invincible. ”

"There is a way in the world, and all things are together. In the battle of tomorrow, the three armies are like donkeys, and our army is not as good as the top of the Mo family, the middle is not as good as the middle of the Mo family, and the lower is not as good as the Mo family's lower horses, which is a mortal situation. ”

"But with the means of Linzi horse racing boys, there is still a glimmer of life."

Everyone easily understood the meaning of this horse race, and also understood the meaning of Tian Ju's so-called upper, middle and lower three horses compared to war.

Someone said: "In the first battle of Yinyang in the past, the combined forces of Chu and Mo were like this, with the right wing above the left wing against the Wei and Han left wings; With the left wing under the horse, against the Wei Han above. ”

"The same was true in the former Mo-Vietnam War. Attacking on the left and defending on the right or attacking on the left and on the right, it now seems that there is a great deal of meaning in it. ”

Some veterans who have studied the tactics of the year can easily understand what Tian Ju means.

Tian Ju said: "My gate objective Mojia battle formation method is quite reasonable, and it is the most stupid to think that the troops are evenly deployed on the front line. The left flank is elongated and weak, and the right flank is strengthened and thick, and it is more effective to break one of its wings with more strikes and fewer blows than to spread the force evenly. ”

"The difficulty lies in the fact that we need to know where the Mo family's superiors are? Where's the drop? ”

"But it's not that hard at the time."

As soon as he was so inspired, the generals present immediately thought of the Sanliu Society where they were now, and nodded their heads one after another.

"Sanyanagisha!"

Someone said the name of the village community, and Tian Ju said, "It's the Sanyanagi Society." ”

"Sanliushe is the left wing of our army, and it is the only way to connect Yangxia. If the Mo family wants to cut off our retreat, it is necessary to storm the left flank of our army, that is, the Sanliu Society. ”

"If we capture Sanliushe, our army will have to reverse the front, shrink the defense, and stagger the road, so that it will be blocked even more seriously, and there is no possibility of retreating."

"Cheng Kuang's partial division is also behind the side of the Sanliu Society, and the Mo family has been digging a fort opposite the Sanliu Society in the past two days, and they will die and prepare to storm Sanliu."

"This so-called Mo family is above the horse."

"If our army holds on here and gathers troops, the guns are inferior to the people, the artillery is not as good as the people, and the training morale is not as good as the people, which is exactly what the Mohists want."

"Since it is difficult for me to defeat the enemy above, I can guard here."

"Our army gathered forces on the right flank, and the left flank took the initiative to retreat, and even abandoned the Sanliu Society."

"The right wing gathered forces, stormed the Mo family's lower wing, quickly defeated the left wing of the Mo family, and reversed the battle line to make a diagonal line."

"In this way, the partial division of the left wing is abandoned, but the main force of the right wing is retained."

"If you can't win, you can keep your troops to hold on; If you can win, you will have a chance to live. ”

"If it wins, the Mo family adjusts its tactics, and it will take three or two days for our army to hold on, or gather elite troops to withdraw from the northeast."

"First, our army has fewer cavalry, and second, our army's military formation is heavier and slower, so we can only press one of its wings with a heavy formation."

His thoughts, or the ideas given to him by his advisers, are reasonable.

The analogy of the upper, middle and lower three is actually a slash formation, which is the only tactical method that the coalition forces can win more with less in this situation.

That is, deploy long and thin troops on the front line of Sanliushe, rely on retreat to hold back the main attack of the Mo family, abandon Sanliushe, which is extremely important in geographical location, and deploy the main force on the right flank.

In the case that the total number of troops is less than that of the Mohists, a situation of fighting more and fighting less is formed in some areas. It is true that the left-wing Mohists are also fighting more and less, but if the coalition forces have calculations and the Mohists do not, and deliberately abandon the left-wing layout of the Sanliushe, it can buy more time for the right flank of the coalition army.

Even if it is defeated, the main force is still there, and there is still the capital to hold on. If you win, you may be able to make a comeback.
