Chapter 378: The Gentleman's Golden Drum (19)

With a buckshot in their mouths, they don't put lead bullets in their mouths and then gunpowder, and that's how they loaded their companies.

The gap between the spearman companies was not large, and the formation of the Yue people was too loose to pose any threat to the spearmen of each company.

The musketeers' previous short-range three volleys basically hit the Yue people, and when they rushed over, they were already scattered.

He thought that if he could quickly reload, he could shoot again, and now there was a mess in front of him, and he could hit anyone with any shot.

Just as he spit out the lead bullet and stuffed it into the muzzle, the small cannon in the distance roared again, he didn't care, and when he finished loading and wanted to shoot, he found that the Yue people had a tendency to retreat.

His own orders were to reload freely, and he trained hard, only slightly slower than the old musketeers like Yu Su.

The moment the untidy second shot sounded, the left flank of the Yue people, who had been hedged by the spearmen and confused, completely collapsed, turned around and ran.

The heralds and drummers in the back kept passing the order, no pursuit, no pursuit.

Only the musketeers who had finished loading took advantage of the situation to shoot a round, and then followed the spearmen up the small mound in a row.

The snare drum sounded, signaling the whole team.

When King Shuqing boarded up, he suddenly felt that his eyes suddenly opened up, and the Yue people of the Chinese army in the distance could also see it.

Twenty-five of their own small cannons were quickly pushed and pulled up the hill, and the cavalry, which had been patrolling, chose to pursue this time, but did not chase far, but trampled on the retreating Yue people and returned immediately.

But it was such an impact of the pursuit and rout that brought great shock to the Yue people, especially the collapse of the left wing of the Yue people in a short period of time, which made the Yue people panic.

King Shuqing thought, this can be regarded as the completion of the task of luring the enemy, right?

But he didn't know that Shi Zheng of the Chinese army was scolding his mother, and a herald heard Shi passing the military order with swear words for the first time, and he said that Shi was really anxious this time.

"Tell Meng Sheng, what should the fucking King Yue do when he sees that the situation is not good and runs away? Tell him, take it easy, stop attacking! The Yue people are going to be scared away! ”

When the herald heard this, he repeated it, stabbed his horse in the belly with both feet, and galloped toward the right flank.

Shi overestimated the strength of the Yue people's flanks, and also underestimated the offensive capabilities of the six brigades, which can be called elites, and the Yue people's flanks collapsed at the touch of a button, just like the Chen Cai coalition army on the right flank of the Chu people during the Battle of Chengpu.

He was afraid that the king of Yue would panic, so he directly chose to retreat, in that case, he would not have a chance to completely annihilate the main force of the Yue people.

It is precisely picking soft persimmons and pinching them, Yue is in a period of decline, and the military system and military strength of Yue are actually far inferior to those of the Central Plains countries, so I never thought that this war would fail.

Defeat is impossible, fighting like this, the worst thing is to defend the city, consume the Yue army and let the Yue people retreat, anyway, Jin Chu is busy fighting for hegemony and Jin has no time to interfere, and Qi is still eyeing behind Yue Guo.

But strategically, if you fight back to defend the city, you will already be considered a failure.

The current situation is completely different from what was envisaged.

According to his assumption, it should be that the Chinese army was suppressed by the Yue people, so that Yue Wang Fei saw the possibility of victory, felt that the righteous division was cowardly, and made Yue Wang Fei psychologically feel that "if you work harder, the Chinese army and the left flank will be broken, and it is possible to mobilize troops to resist the right flank of the righteous division and hold on until the Chinese army completes the breakthrough".

In this way, Yue Wang Phong was able to take this mentality, beware of the collapse of the flank of the Battle of Chengpu and lead to a big defeat, mobilize troops to resist the offensive of the right flank, and at the same time assault the left flank of the righteous division, hoping to break through the Chinese army of the righteous division before the victory of the right wing of the righteous division and divide the righteous division.

Now at the beginning of the world's changes, such as Wu Qi's warriors can do more to one enemy three, after Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu cavalry shooting, Zhao is also a great increase in strength, after the change of Qi is attracted to the five countries to attack Qi......

The tactics of the old era had no possibility of victory in the new era, but I never expected that the might of the right-wing attack would be a little too strong, and the left wing of the Yue people would really collapse at the touch of a button.

In the Battle of Long Spoon that year, the premise was that the dry time war, the Qi State won a great victory, and it was believed that the Lu State was vulnerable. In one go, Bao Shuya thought that Lu was "cowardly", and another wave of Lu would be defeated, which led to the success of Lu's defensive counterattack.

The battle of Chengpu, which was the defeat of the Jin State, made Ziyu see the possibility of the collapse of the right army to fuck, and the possibility that our Chinese army and the left army could defeat the Jin people first, and then support the right army in turn.

But now the situation is ...... It is not appropriate to use any deceitful strategy, because if the deceitful strategy is not done well, it will lead to the collapse of the whole army.

When it came up, it was arranged in a formation with two wings protruding and the Chinese army behind, and Yue Wang Phong would not get into it even if he was a fool.

Relying on deception or giving up a group to take the initiative to retreat and concave into a flank encirclement, he does not have this confidence, he has no bottom in his heart about how big the gap between the righteous division and the current army of various countries is, and whether the righteous division can achieve the initial disadvantage without defeating him.

He didn't dare to take this risk, the Mo family must also fight steadily, on the premise of steady and steady, it is better to fight a war of annihilation without risking surprises.

If you lose, you will miss the best opportunity for hegemony in Surabaya - once the Chu State and the Jin State play a result in the Central Plains, no matter who wins, they will not give up Sishang and will inevitably find a way to interfere.

The Mo family's performance was too outstanding before, from the battle of Shangqiu to the destruction of the city in Tengdi, and then to the three-month period of taking the Vietnamese army around the countries of Sishang, all of which proved that the Mo family Yishi was a strong army.

There are a total of 500 cavalry in the righteous division, if there are 5,000 cavalry, this battle can be fought no matter what, anyway, there is no cavalry in Yueguo, and the Chinese army is anxiously defending the two wings to outflank, it is also a great war of annihilation.

When arranging the formation, the number of the Vietnamese army was feared, and the left flank of the righteous division was made into a purely defensive formation, and there were only seven or eight brigades in the righteous division that could make rapid maneuvers, and they were basically concentrated on the right flank.

The most perfect situation is that Yue Wang Fei felt that if he tried harder, the righteous division would be defeated, and then the right wing of the righteous division could rely on the numerical advantage to hold it, so as to gain half an hour's time, so that several brigades and cavalry on the right wing could maneuver to the left wing from the rear with the cover of the hillside, and rely on the mobility of those elite brigades to complete the outflanking of the infantry.

He never expected that the peasant soldiers of the Yue people would be vulnerable in front of the most elite brigades.

If it goes on like this, if Meng Sheng feels that this is an opportunity to continue the attack again, the victory can be won, but the main force of the Yue people will slip away, then this big victory is meaningless in the long run.

The junction of the Chinese army and the left flank, which has already been judged to be the main direction of attack of the Yue people, the question is whether the Yue people are fighting or according to the previous war model, and they rushed to see the situation first.

But in the first wave of impact, with the cooperation of the artillerymen and musketeers, there was not even a splash, more than 60 chariots were destroyed, the righteous army was immovable, and the Vietnamese people withdrew to regroup.

If the training level of each brigade of the Yishi is about the same, in fact, after trying to know each other's level once, you can spread out the brigade phalanx on the left flank, adopt the same formation as the left flank, and prepare to flank it with a horizontal formation.

The problem is that several brigades on the left flank are more than defensive, and once they move, there will be problems, in case Yue Wang Phong is another tactical master, he will seize the opportunity to change the formation and chaos, and another wave of rush may also lead to the collapse of the left flank.

In other words, suitable, or all the top generals of the Mo family, can defend the city very well, but the field combat level of tens of thousands of people is still not enough.

Now the first wave of the Yue people's attack has just retreated and reorganized, and the middle army and the left flank of the Yi division have not pursued, but they are not afraid that the Yue people will outflank the prominent right flank.

But what he is afraid of now is that King Yue sees that the situation is not right, and directly chooses to retreat, so he will fight a "Battle of Kun" into a "Battle of Liangtang", and turn the predicted war of annihilation into a sheep drive.

When the time comes, the Jin State will clean up the Chu State, and then stretch out its hand to Si, and the vitality of the Yue State will not hurt the whole army and fight again, then it will be troublesome.

However, this is really not to blame Meng Sheng, Meng Sheng fully carried out his order, the right flank initially attacked, but he didn't expect the attack to be a little too fierce, so fierce that he was extremely worried that King Yue would choose to slip ......

In fact, this is a suitable question, he is too stable, and he wants to seek stability and fight a war of annihilation, which is too difficult, especially when the number of cavalry is seriously insufficient.

…………

The Vietnamese are in the army.

Yue Wang's face was pale.

At the beginning of the war, he looked at the army formation of the righteous division, and commented: "The Mo family greeted me with several formations, several formations, the snake of winter stiffness, and if it is broken at one point, the whole army will be broken." ”

He can also be regarded as a person who has fought a few battles, and he also cooperated with the Jin State to bully the Qi State during the civil strife, and he has received a military education from the nobles, so he can see the problem at a glance.

Judging from the formation, he was right. The weakness of several arrays is like this, if it is broken at one point, the whole army will collapse.

The Yishi seems to be no more than 20,000 people, and because the formation is too dense, it seems that the number of people is smaller than it actually is. Therefore, Yue Wang Phong was not prepared for any trick to deceive and induce a gap in the formation of the righteous division.

Yue Wang Peng's choice is very simple, he only needs to seize the best position and attack, as long as he breaks through, then the righteous master will be defeated.

The main direction of attack he chose is also the death hole of the righteous teacher. The junction of the Chinese army and the left flank, as long as it breaks through here, can encircle and annihilate most of the righteous divisions on the banks of the Gangshui River, and when the time comes, the Lushui used to protect the flanks will become a yellow spring that restricts the escape of the righteous divisions.

The attack method he chose was also the mainstream of the times, first with chariots, followed by foot soldiers, and the most elite gentleman army of the Yue people would not be dispatched for the time being.

When those clergy and disciples have consumed the spirit of the righteous master, and the chariot has rushed out of the gap, the gentleman's army will be able to break through as soon as they rush up.

But the problem was that from the very beginning, it was very wrong.

The two sides were separated by a mile, and the artillery of the righteous division began to bombard, in fact, a few people could not die, but it was inevitable to panic the soldiers.

To the division's challenge, before he got close to the military formation, a volley of muskets killed the selected warriors, and there was a doctor.

The chariot impacted, and after approaching, the righteous master actually relied on the foot soldiers to withstand the impact of the chariot, and the first wave of impact chariots lost more than half.

What's even more terrifying is that his left wing collapsed instantly, and during the time when the chariot retreated, he saw his own disciples on the left wing rushing backwards like a tide.

Indeed, the righteous master put on a number of formations like dead snakes, but the situation on the left was different, Yue Wang Fei immediately thought of the more than 10,000 righteous teachers who had been "chased" by himself for two or three months, and he suspected that his left wing was the strong army.

The direction of the impact of the chariot on the right side indeed confirmed Yue Wang Peng's judgment, and the several formations of defense put forward by the righteous division were more than enough, and the counterattack was insufficient. Otherwise, the chariot will not be so easy to escape back, and if the righteous master also has a chariot, he will definitely choose to counterattack and pursue, and he will basically be defeated.

He also really thought of the lessons of the Battle of Chengpu.

But the problem is that in the Battle of Chengpu, the right wing of the State of Chu did collapse, but Ziyu was not a fool, and there was a reason why he continued to pursue the right wing on the battlefield regardless of the collapse: the fox hair of the Jin Shang army was defeated, so that Ziyu saw the hope of victory - the right wing of the servant army collapsed, and the Shang army of the Jin people collapsed, and the Chu State would still win.

But now, the righteous division has not shown the slightest sign of defeat, and his left wing has almost collapsed, is there still any need to fight this battle? Is it necessary to put the army of gentlemen at the bottom of the box into battle?

Is it to choose to increase the left flank, continue to storm the righteous division, and open the gap before the left flank collapses again? Or a direct retreat of the whole army? Or if the left wing continues to retreat and let the right wing of the righteous master continue to move forward, or the left wing of the anti-righteous division moves slowly, you can also do your best to annihilate the right wing of the righteous master first......
