The change in the direction of the right flank of the coalition forces could not convey the news to the command centers of the two sides in real time.

The large number of second-line and reserve units that are suitable for the Chinese army's reserves, or the superiority of troops under the width of the simple battle line, put him in an absolute initiative.

Whether the coalition forces allowed the right flank to collapse or hastily deployed troops to support the right flank at this time, there were loopholes everywhere under the absolute inferiority of troops.

The attack on the left flank of the Mo family was too thorough, and if the enemy counterattack was successful, it would indeed be very dangerous, but the coalition army could not muster enough cavalry, and it was impossible for the infantry close to the right flank of the coalition army to launch a counterattack on all fronts.

Shi is still waiting, waiting for the tide of battle to change.

The right flank of the right flank of the knoll of the coalition forces.

The infantry of the two brigades that had been massed in dense formation had already spread out into a dense column, and the small artillery and cavalry artillery of the brigade that were quickly following were deployed three or four hundred paces in front of the coalition formation, and the cavalry was assembled and waited in the flanks and rear.

The main general of the left wing of the Mo family was not in a hurry, he knew that he had not many reserves in his hands, but he also knew that there were still a large number of reserves in his hands that had not yet been deployed and could be put into battle at any time.

Moreover, the weather conditions are very good today, and the raised hot air balloon can overlook the situation on the battlefield, and the Chinese army will definitely react if the enemy moves.

After all, the purpose of the first attack on the left flank itself is a double possibility, whether it is divided or not, the superiority of the Chinese army can be regarded as a flaw in the opponent's response.

As far as the art of war is concerned, in fact, the practice of the Mohist left-wing commander is not in line with the old art of war, and the two armies need to test the reality of the other side first, and only after making sure that they are correct can they deploy all their forces, because when all the offensive formations face the possible counterattack of the opponent, it is easy to cause collapse and organize defense without troops.

However, in the specific situation at this time, the method of the left flank to deploy almost all its forces in violation of the art of war had a very good effect.

Those light cannons were most afraid of the enemy's cavalry, especially the cavalry that attacked from the flank, but now that the cavalry on the right flank of the coalition army had long been driven out of the battlefield, these gunners were in good spirits.

After a quick adjustment, the iron bullet fell into the coalition formation.

After a short period of preparation, the two infantry brigades of the Mo family in a dense formation launched the first wave of attacks.

The elite grenadiers who could disperse the battle approached the coalition infantry formations in groups of five or three, using the scattered formations to consume the opponent's muskets, causing panic and confusion on the opponent.

The attacking infantry followed closely behind, and these harassing Advance Battalion Grenadiers acted as skirmishers, putting great pressure on the Union infantry.

The allied arquebusiers, who had already been loaded and prepared, nervously looked at the grenadiers of the Mo family's first camp who were scattered and approaching, not knowing whether it was time to shoot.

Coalition officers are also hesitating.

If you shoot now, you will return fire at the elites who are in front of you in groups of three or five camps, and your own muskets may still be reloaded after the infantry phalanx following behind; But if they didn't shoot back, these elite infantry would definitely rely on their own means to inflict casualties on the formation.

After the reform of the military system of the Qi State, there are pros and cons.

If this was the case in the past, the nobles could have sent their elite slaves and servants to attack from the formation without relying on formation, and used stragglers against stragglers to suppress the opposing camp first.

But now there are no slaves and subordinates around the low-level nobles who can be mobilized privately, although the combat effectiveness of the entire Qi country has been enhanced after the military reform, but because of the lack of more troops, it is okay to fight Wei Han, and the more advanced tactical system on the Mo family's side is a little powerless.

The two brigades on the Mo family's side were not deployed on the front line.

In front were scattered elite of the advance battalion, which they used to lure the enemy into firing, or to approach and inflict great damage on the dense spearmen of the army with iron thunder.

In the rear, a brigade was deployed as a horizontal formation, with each company advancing in four formations and ten companies lined up in turn.

The second brigade formed a brigade-level column in the central direction, with two companies in groups and five companies in waves.

This offensive formation is not very suitable for all battlefields, but it is very suitable for this time when there is no artillery and cavalry is being driven away.

If the coalition forces have artillery, the dense columns in the central direction are afraid that they will suffer heavy losses before they reach the coalition position.

If the coalition army still has cavalry, although such a weak line on the two flanks can maximize the firepower, I am afraid that only 500 cavalry will be needed to break through from the flanks.

However, the right flank of the coalition forces had nothing at this time.

In the Qi formation, the arquebusiers watched as the elite of the advance battalion moved in groups of three or five at a distance of about seventy or eighty paces in front of them, but the officers had not yet given the order to shoot.

Light iron bullets continued to fall in the array, and although they did not have the power of those legions equipped with heavy artillery and could only kill three or two people at a time, the morale was still very low.

In particular, the Mo family's gunners did not bombard the loose arquebusiers, but constantly bombarded the spearmen in a dense formation, and each bombardment of the iron bullet would create a gap in the dense spearman formation.

In the central direction, the five grenadiers closest to the Qi army were only sixty paces away from the Qi army, and about one hundred and twenty steps behind them was the central column of the left flank of the Mo family, which was constantly approaching, but had not yet exchanged fire.

These five soldiers who had made the first step into the camp were so skilled and bold that they were not afraid of the arquebusiers of the Qi army sixty paces away, because they were in front of the spearmen of the Qi army.

Previously, in order to guard against the cavalry assault of the Mo family, the Qi army integrated several companies of spearmen into formation, and the arquebusiers spread out on the two flanks of the spearmen.

A distance of sixty paces, without long-term training, is not so easy to hit, especially in the face of a small number of stragglers who have arrived in the camp first, and a little movement will lead to a failure in shooting.

Moreover, once the Qi army fired, the arquebus with a reload time of nearly one minute was likely to cause the main horizontal column of the Mo family to be reloading when they approached, which would be fatal.

The Qi officers understood that the elite of the first battalion, who relied on this point to become stragglers, would not be enough to break through their defensive lines, so they could only endure not allowing the musketeers to shoot.

The soldiers who had ascended the camp first raised their muskets when they approached about sixty paces, and constantly attacked the front line of the Qi army with their marksmanship and elite rapid reloading that they had trained for many years.

These grenadiers who first ascended to the battalion were born in the Mo family's Beicheng men, and the sailors who jumped to the gang in hand-to-hand combat were considered to be from the same division.

In land warfare, they are not only the first to ascend to the city, but also the killers who throw iron thunder to open the opponent's line when they are shooting in formation.

Originally, when the arquebuses were first prepared, these people did not use arquebuses, which were very slow to load, but heavy bows, crossbows, short swords, and iron thunder.

Originally, they needed to carry a hard bow, get close to the enemy's battle formation, shoot heavy arrows at a distance of twenty or thirty paces, or throw exploding iron mines, so as to tear open the enemy's front line, and then take advantage of the situation to rush into the enemy formation and fight with short swords, preparing for the subsequent main formation attack to open a gap.

Now they were armed with flint spears, iron thunders, and short swords, and they relied on their own techniques to harass them at a distance of sixty or seventy paces.

After a few random shots, one of the soldiers who had arrived in the camp gave his musket to his comrades to reload, took out two iron thunderbolts from his body that were rubbed with copper wire and Xuan Lin powder to make fire, pulled his hair and ran forward quickly a few steps, and when he approached about forty or fifty paces away from the opponent, he quickly threw the iron thunder.

The spearmen of the Qi army, who had been subjected to artillery bombardment for a while, watched the black dots in the air get bigger and bigger, and finally fell into the formation.

Rumble......

The "10,000 enemies" filled with gunpowder and broken iron filings exploded in the formation, and in such a dense formation, four people were injured and one person was killed in an instant.

But fortunately, the formation was too dense, but the explosion was blocked by these five people, and the rest of the people were not injured except for being scared half to death.

The elites of the two companies who had arrived in advance used this method to constantly harass them in front of the battle.

After a few throws, the arquebusiers, who don't know which company, finally couldn't bear it and chose to shoot back.

This gunshot immediately set off a chain reaction, crackling gunshots continued to sound, and several grenadiers who were too close to the advance camp were hit, but for such a loose formation, the arquebus shooting effect was not good.

The noble officers of the Qi army in the formation shouted and cursed.

"Who fired the shot? Who shoots without giving the order? Reload! Fast! ”

In the smoke of gunpowder, even if you know who fired the gun first, at this time it is impossible to pursue it, and you can only make up for it.

But after the gunshot, there was another accident.

The three companies of spearmen, harassed by artillery bombardment and grenadiers from the first battalion, finally could not bear it anymore and, when the guns rang out, unobeyed the order.

Someone shouted, "I'd rather die on the way to the charge than be a target here!" ”

These words struck a chord with the company's comrades, and three companies of spearmen, now wounded by artillery and grenadiers, rushed out without an order, and rushed towards the thirty or so stragglers of the advance battalion in front of them.

The Qi generals who presided over the thousands of Qi troops on the flanks scolded: "How can you fight with such soldiers? Our army is defeated! ”

The spearmen of the three companies in the central direction launched a charge despite the order, and a huge gap immediately appeared in the entire front, and the generals had no reserves in their hands to mobilize.

Seeing that the spearmen in the central direction had rushed out more than twenty steps, he was helpless.

The harassing elite of the first battalion were scattered in number and could fight independently, and they all retreated, returning fire from time to time.

The companies that attacked in the rear column still listened to the drumbeat, kept level with the companies on both flanks, and advanced slowly.

The battle on the entire flank was fought first in the central direction.

When the Qi spearmen, who did not obey the order, approached the brigade in the central direction of the Mojiacheng column, which was less than sixty paces, they were subjected to a volley of flint spears, and almost instantly, the spearmen of the three companies collapsed, abandoned their armor and dragged their troops, and fled in all directions.
