After more than 100 steps of taking advantage of the trend, the Chu people did not organize an effective counterattack.

When Mozi taught the article "Preparing for the City Gate", he mentioned that when going out of the city to counterattack during the siege, you must pay attention at all times and do not let the retreating enemy regroup.

Counterattacking and pursuing, giving the enemy a chance to regroup is a taboo, this is the experience that Mozi taught his disciples before he came to this world, and the experience summed up after a hundred battles.

Once the enemy has a tendency to regroup, this side must break it up first, even regardless of the formation.

But if the enemy has already completed the regrouping, it is necessary not to rush in a chaotic formation, but to advance in formation.

When should you ignore the impact of the formation? When should you judge the situation as a whole team moving slowly?

This is a test of the ability to adapt to changes on the fly, and it is also a quality that a battlefield commander must have.

Gongzaoye has followed Mozi for a long time, and the people around him are also the children of the Mo family who have participated in dozens of battles to defend the city, and many times they have the same heart and mind as Gongzaoye.

Those who were responsible for charging and pursuing and persecuting the enemy did not act with the ink men who were close to the Peixian Yishi.

Those who were close were just to control the speed of Peixian's march and cover the flanks and flanks.

Judging from the infantry at this time, the Yue Junzi Army is good at using swords and is also good at impacting, but their formation is not tight enough, relying more on their own martial arts.

Most of the skilled fighters of the Qi Kingdom are also full-time hired guards, and their individual fighting ability is very strong, but their discipline is lax.

The warriors of Wu Qi of the Wei people relied on the military formation to win, but at this time, the warriors were not so strong for the time being.

If you look at the elite of three or four hundred people, not counting chariots, just foot soldiers, these Mo families are already at the peak at this time.

He had been withholding his strength before, not letting the Chu people know his means, but today's counterattack was considered a ruin, and there was no way to hide it.

It was difficult to quickly organize a defense at night, and after four drums in one night, the Chu people also became numb to these situations, and after breaking through the first barracks, the Chu people panicked and continued to retreat.

Or there are a few Chu people such as Sima Chang who want to organize the people around them, but Gongzaoye understands that this kind of thing is like oil droplets floating on the water, and once it is formed, it will gather more and more.

Therefore, once he saw such a situation, he would immediately lead the seventy or eighty people to disperse it, and would not give the Chu people a chance to assemble at all.

The team of more than 600 people, like a long steel nail, followed a straight line that had been planned long ago, and advanced towards the camp of the king of Chu.

Under the sound of drums, they did not move fast, but they were like the waves of the sea, and it was only the tough and unshakable shore that could stop them.

…………

In the camp of the king of Chu, there was chaos.

The king of Chu woke up from his sleep, and his attendants informed the king of Chu of the night attack in Shangqiu City, and the king of Chu hurriedly put on his clothes, knowing that this time it was not just a straw man that made Chu people frightened.

Climb to the top of the wooden tower, look high, and there are battles on the left, right, and middle sides before.

There was another drum beat above the city, and the battle on the left and right flanks looked a little chaotic, and the Chinese army was like being stabbed into mutton fat by a knife.

The messenger kept coming to report, and the king of Chu wanted to ask how many people attacked at night, but the person who reported it couldn't say clearly.

Some say hundreds, some say thousands.

But after a slight description, Chu Sima said: "As he said, it is an array and a sudden formation, a whole and long, long and not dispersed, it must be the elite of the Mo family." ”

King Chu nodded and said, "It must be so." What is the matter with the elite gathering of the Mo family? ”

He thought for a while, and suddenly said: "The grass man in the city before was seen through by us, but I am afraid that it was also intentional by Mo Zhai. But while we are asleep, they send elites to attack our army at night, so that we cannot rest, this is its purpose. ”

Zuo Yin looked at the chaos of the Chinese army, and said: "The Mo family's actions are unexpected, I am only afraid that these people have other purposes." ”

"The king has to guard against it, lest these people do what Cao Mo did back then."

The King of Chu laughed and said, "Back then, Cao Mo was just taking the opportunity of the alliance between Lu Hou and Qi Hou to make a move. is as brave as Yu Rang, can't you help Zhao Xiangzi? Now that I have tens of thousands of people with armor, what can the Mo family do unexpectedly? ”

"Today's event must be to attack chaos at night, so that we cannot attack the city tomorrow."

"A few days ago, the elite of the Mo family went out of the city to fight back, and you all saw it, they ordered neatly, which was not the same as those who attacked us on the night before the month. They advance and retreat in a certain way, and the soldiers in front of the battle can't defend themselves, so let them retreat safely like this? ”

The ministers were silent, naturally unwilling.

In the past few days of siege of the city, the Mo family has made the Chu army panicked from the transfer machine, the bed crossbow to the registered car, the lower grinding car, the dog walk, the fire Yong and other mechanical displays, and there are many rumors that Shangqiu City can only be besieged but not attacked.

If the ink people are allowed to go out of the city and attack at night tonight, it will cause chaos in the Chu camp, and those ink people will retreat with their whole body, it will definitely cause the army to collapse.

The king of Chu has said that there are only three days left for the Chu army to break Shangqiu, and once the city is integrated within three days and the rebellion is completely quelled, the Chu army can only choose to besiege the city.

The siege will eventually evolve into a decisive battle with the Sanjin. Moreover, not to mention the decline in morale after a long siege, there are Song people who can help in the war, plus the Jin people came to save the Song people and formed an alliance with the Song State, the military deterrence of the Chu people became a joke, and Zheng Wei and the two countries were only afraid that they would soon join the Three Jins.

In this way, the Chu people and Wu Yue have been fighting for a hundred years north of Huaisi, and they will be in panic all day long, and there will be no peace for a day.

Everything along the Song State cut into Yangxia, Changping, and the broken chasm, and the Zheng people and the Jin Alliance, then the painstakingly managed cities such as Daliang, Yuguan, Zhongmu, and Kaifeng will be besieged by the Three Jin Dynasty and become enclaves.

The passage north to the Central Plains, which the Chu people had acquired over hundreds of years, would be completely blocked.

Tonight's elite raid of the ink man, if he retreats after success, although he can't attack the city tomorrow, he is afraid that the siege soldiers will not have the heart to fight and will be afraid.

And the day after tomorrow will inevitably not be able to break the city, and another day will be wasted, and the integration of the city will be completed, so there will be no chance of breaking the city until the food in the city is eaten.

When everyone was silent, the King of Chu considered some other ideas in addition to these.

He has formed an alliance with the Mo family, and the Mo family will be like Hua Yuan Xiang Wu back then, promoting the Jin and Chu soldiers, and what Xiong Dang wants to do three years later is to stabilize the national politics and carry out reforms.

The strength of the scholars of the Chu people is too weak, and the strength of the nobles is too strong.

And judging from the means of Peixian, Shangqiu's city defense, those iron farming tools, cropping techniques, etc., the Mo family's ability is very strong, and they can become the force for change in the Chu State.

And it's an outsider, just right to fight against the nobles of their country, especially the family behind these people standing around now.

With them as the mainstay, if the scholar class of the Chu State can be integrated, it may be possible to strengthen the royal power and thus follow the path of change of the Wei people.

So, he hopes to capture some ink makers today.

He knows that the ink man dies without spinning. However, the people of the Mo family attach great importance to love and righteousness, and he also knows this.

If you can capture hundreds of these Mo disciples today, or if you besiege them until dawn, and when they are unable to rush and kill, they will be captured by chariots, then it will be easy to say in the future.

One is that the elite of the Mo family is exhausted, if they can't retreat tonight, then there will not be too much garrison force in the siege city the day after tomorrow.

Second, if the disciples of the Mo family can be captured today, when the siege is over and the hostility between the Chu people and the Mo family is lifted, they can be sold here, so as to facilitate the entry of the Mo family into Chu.

He is the male master, so naturally he doesn't care about the chaos for a while, but cares about the foundation for the next few decades.

Tonight seems to be a great opportunity.

Even if the ink people are not afraid of death, as long as they can be dragged down, organize forces to besiege them, hold out until dawn, and let the nobles drive to attack, they will inevitably break the formation.

As soon as the formation is broken, someone will be sent to capture it alive.

King Chu looked at the chaos on the left and right wings, hesitated in his heart for a while, and asked, "I just don't know what the situation is on the left and right wings?" Where is the elite of the Mo family? The Mo family's elite disciples are at most three or five hundred, why can there be more than a thousand? ”

"Send someone to find out! If you can be sure that it is the elite of the Mo family, you will return it immediately. ”

"Decree that the two wings must not move, but can only hold on, and shoot with a strong bow. Then the order was sent to the Chinese army, ready to assemble. ”

"Gather the warriors and hold back those inkers. Che Guang and all the soldiers, fighting on foot, do not seek to break the disciples of the Mo family, just drag them down! ”

Loudly proclaimed, and the people around him obeyed the orders to prepare, and the plan of the king of Chu had been roughly formed.

It is extremely difficult to organize an army at night, and he knows this very well, and the only people who can organize it at night are the elite people around him.

If the elite of the Mo family is allowed to attack desperately, the camp will only become more and more chaotic, and at the current speed of those people's advancement, it is impossible to expect an effective counterattack to be organized there against a camp.

It was only possible to organize thousands of people from the Chinese army and the royal division near the king's tent, ready to besiege these ink men.

In order to prevent these Mo families from slipping away, it is necessary to need elite forces to stick to these people, so that they can neither walk nor enter, as long as they can stalemate for an hour, the king of Chu can gather the Chinese army and the king division to complete the transfer.

If you can besiege them so that they can't rush out, then you can use your crossbow to stop them from breaking through as soon as daybreak and prepare your chariots to break them up.

The king of Chu knew that if he wanted to stick to these elites of the Mo family, he had to fight with his own Cheguang elites, but he didn't know how many people came.

This kind of death war, those apprentices and peasant soldiers can't come in handy at all, let them mix with the elite, it's better to let them not participate in the war.

After the order was delivered, the elite Che Guang of the Chu people, the close attendants of the King of Chu, and the warriors of the Chinese army began to assemble.

This time was different from the last time, the King of Chu knew the danger, and he also knew the Mo family's elite infantry combat ability, so he didn't dare to risk leading the army to besiege it in person as he did last time.

Although he was in a hurry, it would take a lot of time to suddenly assemble at night, and even if all the elites were summoned, it would not be so quick to complete the whole team.

At this time, it is not very useful to dispatch bows and crossbows to guard the palace, although there is moonlight at night, but it is black and dark, and it cannot be projected remotely to form a kill.

If it is an elite shot at close range with heavy arrows, it is not possible to be elite, but if it is an elite heavy arrow at close range, I am afraid that these elites of the Mo family will break through and fight.
