Chapter 147: The Battle of Nanjishui (8)

The four small bronze cannons that followed the infantry column also quickly deployed, hardly requiring any angle adjustment, but directly opted for frontal flat fire, and after a quick reload, the four small cannons and the musketeers who had advanced to a sufficient distance opened fire almost simultaneously.

The elite guards hidden in the musketeers threw down their muskets and swords, and in groups of three or five with their swords, they struck towards the place where the muskets and copper cannons had been notched.

Six Fingers directly ordered the spearmen to turn, followed closely behind, and directly launched the charge.

The foot knights, who had already collected their guns and replaced them with iron swords, also rode their horses and attacked from both sides.

All of this is as swift as thunder.

Almost as soon as the battle was engaged, the Qi people who were on guard in the flank and waiting for reinforcements had already dispersed, and the 12th Brigade in front did not receive any orders, but it also knew that it had stepped up the attack and invested all its forces.

The rout was only a matter of a moment, the Qi people who were already crumbling abandoned the armor and dragged the soldiers, fled backwards, and the foot knights followed and began to pursue, many Qi people raised their hands high, as the Mo family said last night to indicate surrender, the foot knights bypassed those people, pursued for a while, and then made a threatening posture towards the Qi reinforcements who were still rushing to this side, but did not attack.

The six fingers gathered their troops, but did not make a defensive posture, but quickly turned around, as if they were going to directly attack the reinforcements of the Qi people.

With the approach of the foot knight, and the action of the six fingers as if they were crazy, the Qi reinforcements who had approached stopped in place for a moment, and then retreated.

All of this fell into the eyes of the commander of the Qi Right Army, and also fell under the attention of the Pingyin doctor in the distance.

Doctor Pingyin pointed to the right flank, with a bitter face, and said: "The soldiers of the sage are still placed on the flank!" ”

"I've never heard of the tactics of the righteous division's battle. The right wing is in danger. ”

"Now on the right side, the Mo family can attack the hill, and the advance can be inserted between the right army and the middle army, and the right is really to break through on the right flank!"

This series of actions of the six fingers not only made the commander of the Qi Right Army feel unprecedented tremendous pressure, but also directly made Doctor Pingyin think that the Mo family was going to attack the right flank.

Because the current situation is too obvious.

At the key point under the hill, the Mo family had at least two or three brigades there, as well as nearly thirty guns. The Mo family's troops have not moved, because it is too difficult for the cavalry to feint on the hills.

Now the Mo family is cutting in on the left side of the hill, where the position is extremely critical, that is the junction of the Chinese army and the right army, from there, the right army of Qi will be divided on the hill.

Moreover, it is suitable for cavalry assault, if the Mo family concentrates cavalry to assault from that place, the connection between the right army and the middle army will be cut off.

If the Mo family defended there, threatening the connection between the Chinese army and the right army, threatening with cavalry, but the main force relied on artillery to attack the hills, it would be just as dangerous: the hills were captured, the right army would collapse directly, and the Chinese army would directly face the threat from the Mo family's flank.

It's just that Doctor Pingyin doesn't know that the six fingers have actually exhausted all their strength. It's like a person moving a big rock, knowing that he can lift it with a little more strength, but he doesn't have that bit of strength anymore.

However, Doctor Pingyin didn't know if the six fingers who made such a big move still had the last bit of strength, so the only choice he could make was to press all his forces to the right army.

Doctor Pingyin looked at the dozens of nobles around him and said, "Today's battle has reached the time to fight to the death. The right army was broken, and the whole army was in danger. At this time, they can only rush the right army, so that the Mo family can not go further! ”

"The prince divides the feudal lords, today is the time to die!"

Everyone shouted and obeyed the order, and the last part of the Qi army began to march towards the right flank.

Where the six fingers were on the north side, the six fingers looked at the retreating Qi reinforcements and breathed a sigh of relief.

He is not crazy, without the cover of artillery, the formation is not complete, he cannot choose to fight with the Qi people.

Just now, he just used the momentum of the column assault to scare those Qi people, and the righteous master was bold and vigorous, and he expected that the Qi people would not dare to fight with him.

Now, he won the bet and bought himself time, so he gathered his team and formed a team in place, ready to make a defensive posture.

He no longer has the strength to attack again, and even if he still has troops, now that the Qi army is supporting to the north, a frontal attack will be a fierce battle, and the gains outweigh the losses.

He knew that what would greet him next would be a counterattack from the elite and several times the strength of the Qi people.

The stronger the counterattack, the better it proves that its mission is completed, and the more Qi troops are mobilized, the faster the assault on the right side will be: as long as it breaks through for a while, the Qi people are powerless and unable to organize a defense, and the whole Qi army will be defeated.

He also knew that what he had to do was to ensure that his side would not be defeated and survive until the final victory was achieved before the appropriate side launched a surprise attack and successfully defeated the Qi people.

Otherwise, even if everything he has done before is meritorious, the final defeat will greatly reduce all the credit.

At this point, even if your side collapses, the right side will win, but once the loss of the righteous division collapses too greatly, whether the follow-up strategy can be implemented and whether it can fight the Linzi Legion again is a problem.

Now the northernmost 11th Brigade had abandoned the offensive and withdrew to defend itself near the artillery, taking care of each other with the 1345th Brigade there.

His own side is also the key point, this is the weakness of the right army of Qi and the middle army, if the Qi people think that the main direction of attack of the Mo family is here, then this place will inevitably be recaptured, and it will definitely be recaptured, and it will definitely be at any cost.

Now he had only four guns at his side, a Twelfth Brigade that had been exhausted from a long fight, and about a third of the brigade that had just completed the victory of the column assault.

The crisis is imminent, but the six fingers are smiling, and there is a heroic spirit in their hearts, thinking that if today's battle is held, how can the first division be compared with our division?

He wants to show his skills the more times of crisis.

It is impossible for the Qi people to sit idly by and watch the situation that the right army is on the verge of collapse, their position is extremely important, and the Qi people must recapture it.

Not only will they be recaptured, but in order to prevent the troops on the other side of the hill from going to this side to support, they will definitely send heavy troops to counterattack the position under the hill.

There are also a lot of artillery, a sufficient number of foot soldiers, a large number of musketeers, and the sappers are also reinforcing the barracks, plus the 145 or 2 brigades are considered a new force, so there will be no problem.

Only here is himself, there may be danger, but he can't leave now.

Withdrawing now is tantamount to telling Qi people that they are exhausted, and they can only switch from offense to defense and get out of the way.

Can't withdraw, but also look forward to more Qi people to attack, Six Fingers took a deep breath and called the guards to pass the order.

He was not ready to add more infantry, but only five guns.

He had to rely on these nine cannons and 2,000 foot soldiers to put what he had learned all his life to use to resist the Jedi counterattack of the Qi people.

The idea was already churning in his mind, but now was not the time to cast it, because turning to defense now would make Qi people wonder.

Therefore, he ordered the infantry to form a whole team, divided into three teams, arranged in echelons, and made a posture of continuing the attack.

But in fact, as soon as Qi people get close, he will immediately become defensive.

The infantry of the three echelons will abandon the thin formation, which is easier to play with the superiority in maneuver and firepower, and form a phalanx.

The three phalanxes will be in the shape of a pin, and the nine cannons will be deployed in the pinzig, and a salvo will be fired through the gaps between the large arrays.

The musketeers will hide between the frets of the phalanx.

Use spearmen as shields, artillery and salvos and musketeers as swords, do not move, do not attack, do not retreat, and hold out until victory.

…………

The southernmost side of the battle line.

Shi, who had not moved, had seen the wolf smoke rising from the north before, and now he had also noticed the change of the Qiren banner.

By the time the second wolf smoke rose, it was clear that the Qi people had already been mobilized by the six fingers, and the Qi people had already thought that their main attack direction was the north side.

He looked up at the sun in the sky, estimated the current time, and said to the officer next to him with a smile: "When the sun is shining, the Qi people will be defeated, I think we can still catch up with Doctor Pingyin to have lunch together." It is said that the food is until the sun, for the sake of grass, and there is no grass in the army, but I don't know if the doctor in Pingyin can eat it. ”

The commander of the first division smiled: "A real nobleman, that is to eat on time." ”

"Exactly, you don't get tired of eating, you don't get tired of eating, you don't get tired of eating, you don't eat when you are hungry, you don't eat when you are hungry. Don't eat if you're evil, don't eat if you're stinky. I don't eat when I don't eat, I don't eat from time to time. If you don't cut it properly, you can't eat it. ”

"The sun eats the grass."

"It is also said that in the month of Mengxia, eat mushrooms and chickens. If Mengxia conducts the spring order, the locusts will be a disaster. The storm is coming, and the weeds are not true......"

"But the order of the spring season, eat wheat and sheep."

"We only have fried wheat flour in our army, and if he eats it, it can be regarded as a summer moon and spring order. If he were a true nobleman, he would have to go on a hunger strike to fight ......"

Shi Haha laughed and said: "The locusts are plagued, the storm is coming, and the grass is not real, and it has a fart to do with eating wheat and sheep in the fucking summer?" ”

"If I take Doctor Pingyin prisoner after a while, I think that if I can't give him wheat flour to eat, he will roar angrily: As a nobleman, even if I starve to death today and kill myself in bondage, I will never eat wheat in the summer and eat food other than vegetable soup with chopsticks!"

But starve him for three days, and then give him a bowl of fried noodles after three days, and he will say, "It's delicious!" The chopsticks are so easy to use! ”

Everyone laughed at the thought of such a scene, and no one noticed that a look like a memory flashed on Shi's face for a moment.

After laughing, Shi waved his hand and said, "Okay, the preparations of each department are according to what was set yesterday." ”

"The infantry were divided into two wings, the cavalry was sandwiched in the middle, and the cavalry artillery approached to within a hundred paces of the Qi army and opened fire. After the infantry fired a salvo, the cavalry took advantage of the situation to advance and retreat from the middle to penetrate directly after the Qi people, and once they broke through, they dispersed into a company and stormed the place where the Qi commander was. ”

"Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent. The cavalry was placed on both flanks, which was the norm of the formation. Today is not often, so he rushed with the momentum of stepping and riding, and there was no retreat. ”

"Prepare each for a quarter of an hour, and prepare for the assault in a quarter of an hour."

All the generals went to prepare, Shi also took the iron helmet, inserted pheasant feathers, put on the armor, turned over the horse, gave up the memories that had just flashed, and said in his heart: "After today's battle, the country of Qi will be chaotic." Tian Wu, Tian Wu, you don't have a chance to establish the Jixia School Palace, and you don't have a chance to hide from the doctor! I don't know if your cousin can seize this opportunity to overthrow your father in a coup. If you can't grasp such an opportunity, then you really can't hold up the wall. ”
