Today's war is not only concerned with the Mo family and the Qi country.

The intricate situation within the Qi State, the continuation of the dispute between the Tian brothers, and the confrontation between centralization and feudalism will make the Qi State languish for a while.

The sluggish State of Qi, the State of Wei that was ambushed on all sides, the State of Zhao who needed to lick its wounds after the Three Jin Dynasty turned their faces, and the State of Chu, which could finally take a breath on the outside and start a more drastic centralized change internally......

All this converges, and there will be an extremely strange situation in the Central Plains. The position of Sishang is too important, and if the Central Plains is not chaotic, there will be no time for Sishang to breathe and develop.

I understand that after this battle, the honeymoon period between the Mo family and the Chu State will also end, and this battle is very important, determining whether the Mo family and the Chu State will turn their faces behind a powerful Qi Wei or a declining Qi Wei.

As he said to the officers of the Mo family before, if he only cares about the Qi State, then this battle can be fought steadily, and the Pingyin Army can be destroyed and he can directly negotiate peace with the Qi State.

But if you want to take into account the situation in the world, you must annihilate the Pingyin Legion with minimal casualties, and then defeat the Qi Linzi Legion.

The 1st Division and the cavalry, which had not been visible since yesterday, had been hiding in the forest, and now they were about to launch a final attack to annihilate the Pingyin Legion.

Today's formation was set yesterday, and the tactic of centering the infantry on both flanks of the cavalry was uncharacteristically adopted, but the method of infantry sandwiching cavalry was adopted.

It is precisely the impermanence of soldiers and the impermanence of water, and the adoption of this formation is also the result of careful consideration.

Now that the reserve force of the Qi people has been mobilized on the side of the six fingers, although the southern front of the entire Qi army is still stable, it is only a golden jade outside, and the depth is extremely empty.

As long as the front line is broken through, the follow-up troops of the Qi people are insufficient to organize an effective defense, and they can take advantage of the situation to completely collapse the left flank of the Qi people in one fell swoop, which will lead to the collapse of the entire front.

The task of the cavalry in this attack was not to break through the front of the Qi people, but to break through the front formation, break through the rear of the Qi people's Chinese army with lightning speed, and completely disrupt the only remaining team of the Qi people who still maintained the formation.

All in all, it is to highlight a fast word, the faster the assault, the shorter the reaction time of Qi people. There was chaos in the formation, and the whole line was assaulted, and the defeat of the Qi people was faster.

Now the 1st Division is all here, except for a brigade left as a reserve, and half a brigade bluffing in the middle army and in the woods on the north side.

Two thousand cavalry were concentrated, and the method of attack was adopted in waves, and the selected direction of attack was the junction between the two brigades of Qi people.

The infantry of the 1st Division was divided into companies, shortening the front and increasing the depth.

The musketeers and those small horses pulled the rapidly deployable artillery directly in front of the infantry, and when they approached the enemy a hundred and fifty paces, they were deployed, and after the rapid bombardment, the infantry directly launched an assault, tearing through the line of Qiren, the infantry stabilized, and swept from south to north, while the cavalry was inserted into the Qiren formation, causing confusion and rushing straight to the center.

This is a tactic of advancing without retreating, if the Qi people have artillery, if the Qi people still have cavalry, if the Qi people's line has not yet wavered, if the Qi people still have a certain reserve force on the south side to stick to the assault infantry cavalry, it is appropriate to resolutely dare not use this kind of irregular formation.

He rode his horse to a high post, and used the clairvoyant mirror to observe the military formation of the Qi people for the last time, which added a little confidence.

The feint attack of the Six Fingers was quite successful, and the Qi people now concentrated the last few forces in the middle army and the right flank, many of which were still on the way.

The important thing is to look at each other.

This is an immovable formation, not only in the front line, but also in the depths behind.

As soon as you move, it's chaotic.

Originally, it was possible to gather the remnants of the army and resist step by step, and the various departments of the follow-up formation were also looking after each other, even if there was a breakthrough, they would face the blocking of the formation in depth of Qi people.

Six Fingers fought on the right flank of the Qi army for a whole day, and in the end, the simplest and most direct effect was that the deep phalanx of the Qi people gave up the turtle defense formation and was forced to support the right army to the north.

Then as long as the left flank breaks through the front formation, the Qi people's backwater formation is considered broken.

Shi thought to himself, Doctor Pingyin didn't understand the truth that the backwater formation should not be moved, but he was forced by the six fingers to have no choice, and he was also forced by the Mo family's artillery to have no choice: if the right army does not support the right army, the right army is in a hurry, if the right army does not support them to retreat, the middle army and the left wing have to give up the front and retreat; can give up the front and huddle by the river, dozens of artillery shells of the Mo family bombarded for a day, and the musketeers launched a round of fire horizontally, which would inevitably flow into a river of blood and stain the water.

The decisive point of this battle was on the left flank of the Qi army on the south side, but the key point was on the right flank of the Qi army.

Shi looked up at the sky, waved his hand to summon the herald, and said, "Deliver the news of Nanjishui's victory back to Pengcheng first." Don't worry the crowd. ”

The herald galloped away with joy on his face, and the commander of the first division rode to Shi's side, looked at the banners of Qi people and the dust raised in the distance, and said with a little worry: "The attack on the side of the six fingers must be very fierce." ”

Shi nodded, but didn't say anything, looked at the north and was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Wait a little longer." ”

The commander of the first division understood that it was useless to worry about it now, and the only thing he could do was to seize the fighter plane created for the whole army on the side of the six fingers, and break through the military formation of the Qi people as quickly as possible, that was the greatest assistance.

It is appropriate to wait a little longer, that is to say, if the attack is launched now, the few troops of the Qi people who are supporting to the north may turn to fight with this side, in that case, the pressure on the side of the six fingers is indeed small, but the strategy of winning a big victory with minimal casualties is equivalent to not being fully implemented.

About half an hour later, the officers and division commanders around Shihe nodded almost at the same time, and ordered: "Blow the trumpet, beat the drum!" ”

The sound of the drums, which had been silent, finally sounded on the southern front, and the somewhat anxious soldiers, who had been waiting, heeded the drums, quickly left the covered woods, reeds, and knolls, and suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

The 1st Brigade, the most elite of the 1st Division, was at the front, and the warriors selected from the division, armed with muskets and daggers, acted as the vanguard of the skirmishers, followed by the musketeers, who formed columns in dense formations, with less than forty paces between each company.

Six hundred cavalry, the first wave of the attack, were responsible for clearing the way for the subsequent cavalry, and among these cavalry there were no foot knights, only warrior knights, dressed in leather armor.

The cavalry of the front company used spears, and they were cheap Zhemu spears, which were disposable shock weapons.

After the impact, they will simply throw away the spear, or let the spear pierce the enemy's body, and then switch to an iron sword.

The iron sword used by the subsequent cavalry companies was about 100 paces away from the front company.

The remaining cavalry was further behind, as the engaged battlefield could not deploy so many troops, and they needed to break into the Qi formation immediately after the rout of the Qi front.

All the small horses on this side can pull the small copper cannons that are fast and maneuverable, and all of them are placed in front of the infantry or on the flanks, and when they get close to the distance, they can directly launch the rapid support cavalry and infantry attack.

Shi did not follow the cavalry charge, but stood near the line of infantry.

The drums beat and the foot soldiers advanced first, and the elite ink men who acted as skirmishers in front scattered forward, because they did not have to worry about the counter-shock of the Qi people and the non-existent cavalry, so there was no need to form a dense formation.

These elite ink masters approved three layers of leather armor, or a set of expensive iron armor, and under the leadership of the officer, they crossed the open space in front of the formation and moved in the direction of the Qi army formation.

The movement of the entire array was as if it was in a martial arts arena, with a banging waist drum and an extremely fast pace.

The sudden appearance of the real main force of the righteous division obviously brought panic to the Qi army.

Suitable for immediately, I thought that Dr. Pingyin should be able to scold my mother at this time, but he was too late to transfer. It's up to him to decide what he's going to do.

It is nothing more than to concentrate all the forces on the right army, break through the defense on the side of the six fingers and flee; Either it is to change the formation before the regeneration, and then transfer those mobilized Qi people back.

However, neither of them is meaningless, the only thing that can save the Pingyin Army at this time is that a reinforcement of Qi people suddenly appeared on the horizon, but obviously this is impossible.

On the battlefield, the large array of two-step cavalry gradually approached from 400 steps to a distance of 150 steps, and those light cavalry cannons had been deployed under the cover of the elite stragglers of the Mo family who were ahead of them, and more than 20 small bronze cannons began to shoot at a very close distance for the artillery.

The front of the Qi army, which had been fighting for a long time, had already been loose, and in the face of the sudden attack of the righteous division, it was again densed under the command of the main general, but it was to no avail.

The main force of the infantry gradually approached, and after those stragglers were convinced that the Qi people were no longer able to launch a counterattack, they began to advance to a place about forty steps away from the main formation of the Qi people.

They did not form a formation, nor could they exert the power of the musket salvo, so they used the shorter arquebuses used by the foot knights in their hands and used the skills they had painstakingly cultivated, and chose to shoot at close range after approaching.

In later generations, the javelins in front of the Romans, and the Manchu white armor approached and shot with heavy arrows at close range, in fact, they were all about the same. Just like the approaching salvo after the development of muskets, or the opening of the gap in the phalanx by artillery, it was all for the assault of infantry and cavalry.

There were also some crossbowmen or musketeers in the Qi army, and when they formed a formation, they could have limited effect in the face of loose elite inkmen.

The elite skirmishers were followed by more than a dozen musketeers lined up, and after approaching, the companies in front remained motionless, and the companies behind quickly spread out towards the left and right flanks, waiting for the order to fire a salvo.

Musketeers were constantly being shot to the ground by Qi people's crossbows or muskets, but the musketeers were unaffected in the slightest, and they calmly spread out their marching formations into battle columns as if they were on a training ground.

If the Qi had a cavalry, even a charioteer, at this time, these musketeers would have been devastated.

Since Keshi can choose to expand like this, it is precisely because the Qi people have no cavalry and available chariots.

After the rapidly deployed musketeers formed an array, and after waiting for about half a minute to make sure that the spearmen behind them had advanced to their level, the officer gave the order to start firing.

White smoke rose up, and the shooting methods in columns and rotations were like forming a piece of lead grains and a woman's woven warp and weft, overwhelmingly projecting the numerical superiority of the troops on the narrow front, instantly tearing apart the formation of the Qi army.

Some of the most daring squads of the Ink Warriors who were closest to about thirty paces away from the Qi people raised their muskets, aimed them at the Qi army, which was considered to be close at hand, and pulled the trigger.

The moment the gunfire rang out, these inkers threw down their arquebuses, drew their short swords, and rushed into the already loose Qi army formation with gaps everywhere.

The spearmen who followed followed on foot followed by a fast march.

The cavalrymen, about two hundred paces wide between the infantry, also tucked their spears under their armpits, and the horses, which were trained not to be frightened by the sound of gunfire, followed the rider's movements, and began to jog in broken steps in perfect harmony to warm up for the final impact.

The cavalry officers shouted: "Spears ready, slow run......"

The horses clattered forward, the riders almost knee to knee to knees, and the slow pace allowed the horses to maintain the formation between the horses.

It was like a wall, a wall of speed and spikes, kicking up countless dusts, approaching the Qi army that had been scattered by artillery and muskets like a fallen mountain.
