Enthusiasm only works miracles when the other side is not so enthusiastic.

Obviously, the blood of the nobles for the sake of their family and country is far less than that of the Mo family, who want to turn the world upside down and create a new world of synonym, equality, love and non-aggression.

One is the home of five miles, and the other is the world of 90,000 miles.

The fanatical and loose aristocracy had no discipline, only bravery; There is no formation, only fanaticism.

So the Mo cavalry on the hill hedged down, more than seventy nobles were cut to the ground, and the rest chose to flee.

Only the seven nobles were still holding iron swords, wiping the blood on their bodies, facing the columns of Mo cavalry, they did not retreat, nor wavered, but prepared to die on the way to the charge.

A nobleman's face was cut open, the long wound turned out the white flesh inside, and his leg was also slashed, and the pain trembled a little.

He looked at the enemy on the opposite side, who was dozens of times his own, and knew that this impact would kill him, but he was not afraid.

He was just worried that he would not be able to control his trembling legs because of the severe pain of the wound, and he would be thought by the Mo family as cowardice, so he adjusted the horse's head, tidied up his clothes, and blocked his aching and trembling legs.

The cavalry of the Mo family had re-arrayed, and the nobleman raised his sword, facing the enemy dozens of times larger, and said in a loud voice: "People are noble and loyal. Your righteousness and ours cannot coexist. Today we die for righteousness, though we die ......"

Bang......

Before he finished his words, several Mo cavalrymen on the opposite side took out the flint short guns they bought, and shot the nobles who were about to continue to talk about righteousness to death, leaned over and touched the mane of the horse, and exclaimed: "What a good horse, I was afraid of cutting him on the horse when I cut him just now." ”

The cavalry knew that the spoils of war belonged to the duke, and the horse did not belong to him.

But he loves horses very much, and he has achieved the kind of "non-useful love" love that Mozi said.

When I was a child, the horses in the village community had to plough the land, and the land brought them food and wealth, and at that time, the village community had gradually formed a tradition of loving horses, and every spring before planting, they would choose to make a meal of dumplings for the cows or horses to eat.

The nobles chattered about those things, the cavalry didn't bother to listen, and they didn't care about the life or death of the other side, and the Mo family didn't need to draw strength from the fanaticism of the nobles.

All the cavalry cared about was the good horse with shiny coat on the other side, and many of the cavalrymen who were wealthy farmers were also amazed, ran over and rubbed it a few times, and led the horse away from the corpse.

Several cavalrymen looked at the corpses of the nobles on the ground and said with a smile: "Use their blood to make material for the fertile fields." This will be a fertile land in the future, and everything you plant will grow well. ”

"Yes, it won't work next year, it will stink. The year after tomorrow will be fine. ”

"The war will be over the year after tomorrow, and the world will be stable."

A few people looked thoughtfully at the corpses on the ground, but what they thought about was the family's cultivation and harvesting, and they thought that the family's wheat must be very high now.

When they were amazed and sighed, the cavalry that had marched to cross the river here had already appeared in their field of vision, as well as the infantry of the two companies that had cooperated with them before.

The cavalry knew that the battle was almost over.

What the cavalry knows, the commander of the Qi army also understands.

He looked up at the sky, the sun had not yet reached overhead, and he wanted to hold on for two days, but he didn't want to fail to do it for half a day.

The infantry of the Mo family in front of them began to counterattack, and the flank and rear artillery failed, and the cavalry supported by the Mo family rushed to arrive, and it may only be a quarter of an hour before the rout of the whole line.

And there is nothing he can do about it.

Facing his subordinates and dead soldiers, the commander of the Qi army said angrily: "My defeat is not a crime of war. There are not many soldiers, not many cannons, not many horses, what can you do if the prince is here? ”

"Today you will die. If it falls, it will be trapped in the hands of the sluts, humiliated by the sluts, and reformed through labor. The matter of life and death is small, but the matter of honor and disgrace is great. ”

"I am inseparable from the Mo family, and we don't share the sky. When I die, I may be buried in my face. ”

After that, the horizontal sword killed himself.

The dead soldiers around him wept bitterly, dug a pit next to him with tools, and after burying the master, the two dead men also dug two pits.

At the edge of the pit, after bowing down to the simple tomb of the main general, the horse of the main general was beheaded and placed in front of the tomb as a sacrifice, and then the two dead men stood in front of the pit they had dug and killed themselves.

At noon, the Qi army was routed on all fronts.

Of the 6,000 Qi troops, 4,000 were captured, 2,000 were killed or wounded, most of the 140 low-ranking nobles were killed in battle, a few committed suicide, and only six chose to surrender.

The Mo family suffered 300 casualties, and seven officers above the rank of sergeant were killed.

After a short break at noon to clean up the battlefield, he returned to the camp and put on his backpack, leaving the wounded in the camp, leaving five hundred cavalry to guard the prisoners, and the rest of the men lifted their spirits and marched quickly, marching twenty miles before dark.

At this point, the last obstacle between the main forces of the princes' coalition forces was also cleared.

Four days later.

The Mo family's suspicious soldiers in Chen and Ku counties were divided to 5,000 and left the northeast of Yangxia, intending to block the direction of Yangxia and the Korean army to the north to make peace.

The main striker stuck to the main force of the coalition.

The partial division in the direction of Chengkuang attacked, and the rapid march was inserted near Hongshui, blocking the way for the main force of the coalition army to retreat south and flee west, and the main force of the Mojia family passed through Shangqiu and Ningling, and met near Hongshui, forcing the princes to choose a decisive battle.

Two days later, the Mo family's forces began to gather, and the princes' coalition army also dug a camp and prepared for a decisive battle.

The right wing of the Chinese army of the princes' coalition army together has a total of more than 100,000 troops, and after the division and annihilation of the Mo family, the main force of the coalition army assembled here for a decisive battle is not many.

5,000 cavalry, 800 chariots, 35 bronze cannons of 5 pounds of iron bullets, and about 40,000 infantry after removing the fleeing soldiers.

Together, there were about 49,000 people.

On the Mo family's side, almost all of the field forces in Sishang were gathered.

16,000 cavalry, 140 bronze cannons with more than 5 pounds of iron bullets, small cannons attached to each brigade, 50,000 infantry, more than 1,500 combat engineers, and 2,000 grenadiers from the first battalion, the total strength was nearly 75,000.

The number of cavalry was three times that of the coalition forces, and the number of artillery was four times that of the coalition forces, not counting the quality.

On the infantry side, except for a division's mixed combination of hot and cold weapons, the rest were flint guns that could be inserted into short spears.

The coalition forces had half arquebuses and half spearmen.

The war is imminent, but a lobbyist is ushered in in the Mo family's military camp.

A group of people walked out of the coalition barracks, led by a scholar, who wanted to see the Mo family giant and had words to talk about.

At this kind of moment, Shiben doesn't want to see it, and thinks it's just a lobbyist's, and it's useless to say more, just fight.

The advantage is so great, after this battle, the soldiers of Han, Qi, Wei, Wei, and Zhou Kezhan are all killed, and the diplomatic means that the Mo family has been huddled in Si for more than 20 years and need to be vertical and horizontal are useless in the face of absolute power.

But the other party begged more than once, saying that it was about the world.

It was only when Zhou Tianzi, Qi Hou, Han Hou and others thought that they would be defeated, and they were not ready to fight, so after thinking about it, they agreed on the same side.

There were quite a few people present, and tomorrow's battle was ready, and the camping guards at night had been dispatched, and they were not busy.

Since it is decided to meet, it is impossible not to let many people be present to testify, and there can be some secret rooms that do not spread the words of six ears.

The lobbyist on the side of the Son of Heaven was searched and brought into the military tent, and after entering the account, he asked: "The big war is coming, but Mr. said that it is about the world, and he has to see it." I don't know what to say? If you're a lobbyist, please return it. ”

The scholar bowed and said: "This time, I came to congratulate the Mo family giant." ”

"Zhou Tianzi was trapped in the formation, besieged by thousands; The Mo family is strong and strong, and the hearts of the people are excited. In this battle, the Mo family will win. ”

"After this battle, the giant of the Mo family can be the son of heaven, so I came to congratulate him."

This is strange, although this is an obvious fact, but as a person from the side of the princes' alliance, he actually used this as an introduction to the topic, and did not talk about any such thing as righteousness and incompatibility.

Shi Xin was a little excited, knowing that if he said this, there must be a backhand, and such an enemy had rarely been seen in recent years: in the context of the two different meanings, those scholars who stubbornly supported the old rules basically opened their mouths to say that they could not speak together at all, and there was no way to communicate effectively.

Since he said this, he could not refute it, so he said, "The words of the son are very false. I am a giant of the Mo family, and I firmly believe that the morality is to choose the sage as the son of heaven. ”

"The eldest husband is in the world, and he should not give in, I think I am a sage, so I can run for the Son of Heaven, but it does not mean that the Mo family giant must be the Son of Heaven. If this war is decided, new rules must be established, new laws must be formulated, and all the people in the world will make laws to determine the rules for the selection of the Son of Heaven, princes, and doctors, even if they are Mojia giants, they must abide by this rule. ”

"It can only be said that the world is profitable, and life and death depend on it? If everyone thinks that it is good for the world to be elected as my Son of Heaven, then how can I refuse? Only to do your best and die. ”

"Bow down for all the people of the world and die for your own life. Don't say that I must be the Son of Heaven, I also have to respect the rules. The rules are the biggest. ”

The man nodded and said, "It's me who lost my words, that's it." But since the Mohists are for the great interests of the world, and they say that the great interests of the world must be synonymous, loved, and equal, then there are some things that I can't say without saying for the world. ”

"As the saying goes, the world's manifestation of learning, Confucianism, Mo, and Yang."

"Yang Zhu's learning is all out of selfishness, not praising the ancients, not praising the saints, and only talking about his own interests at the moment. As the so-called righteousness does not enter the dangerous city, does not deal with the military, and does not exchange the world's great interests for a dime, this is not to benefit the world, but not to benefit the world for the sake of the world, is to want everyone not to benefit the world but for the world, everyone is not for the world but for the world, there is no organization, there is no belief to gather people, and let's not talk about it first. ”

"Just talk about Rumo. The learning of Confucius and Mozi is both Daoyao and Shun, and the trade-offs are different. They all call themselves true Yao and Shun, Yao and Shun are not resurrected, who will make Confucianism and Mo sincere? Yin is 700 years old, Yu and Xia are 2,000 years old, can practice Confucianism and Mo's truth? ”

"The study of Confucius and ink is all taken from Yao Shunyu. But everyone in the world knows that Confucianism is a mortal enemy. ”

"That being the case, according to the Mohist theory of the art of knowledge, it can be seen that the two are contradictory, either double false, or one true and one false, and there must be no two truths. I don't know much about the Mohists' art of speaking, but I don't know if what I'm saying is right? ”

Shi nodded, the Mohist set of logic did talk about this problem.

Confucianism and Modu say that they are the experience and knowledge summed up from the history of Yao Shunyu and others, and the world knows that Confucianism and Momo are mortal enemies, so if Confucianism and Momo really have experience and knowledge derived from history, either both are wrong and false, or one is true and one is false, and there is absolutely no situation where two contradict each other but both are true.

I listened to these with my ears, but I knew that these were just foreshadowing, and what this person really wanted to say was in the back, which was just an introduction to solving the problem.
