Chapter 140: The Battle of Nanjishui (1)

As soon as the gunshots were made, the propaganda sound on the Mo family's side was also covered.

Everything that needs to be said has already been said, so there is no need to shout anything more.

There is no nation in the narrow sense under the feudal system, and it is impossible to produce it, because the economic foundation determines that there is no soil for the existence of the concept of nationality, and some things are not born natural, such as Qi State, Chu State, Qin, Zhao, Han and Wei.

The Mo family didn't instigate anything, just stated some facts. Just like when someone asked Mozi why he slandered Confucianism, Mozi said that there was no and said that there was that it was slander, and some I said that there was and that was just a statement, how could it be said that it was slander?

The reality sung in "The Unknown East" is not the beauty of the countryside under the feudal system, but the flourishing after suffering and oppression, which is the reality in the eyes of the common people.

This is a song that belongs to the Qi people, and it is also a song that belongs to the world, singing this song means that the Mo family is ready to break with everything in the world after this war.

In the tent of the righteous division, he listened to the sparsely populated muskets on the opposite side, smiling.

The military commanders are basically near their respective positions, and now they are all adjutants in the military tents, and the main thing is to unify the deployment of tomorrow's decisive battle.

Now the meaning of suitability, everyone has seen it clearly, and what needs to be improved is some details.

"In today's battle, you have also seen that the Pingyin Legion cannot be our opponent, and victory is inevitable."

"But how to win, how to win with the least cost, that's the crux of the matter."

Facing a group of officers, Shi once again emphasized: "If we have defeated the Pingyin Army, but we have suffered large losses and need to repair and fight again, then it will not be a victory in the overall situation, but a defeat." ”

"The Pingyin Legion was annihilated, we still have to capture Pingyin and Liang's father, intercept the Linzi Legion and win, the Linzi Legion is undefeated, we are not considered a victory."

"Wei has been ambushed by us on all sides this time, and it will be weak within ten years after the first war, Wu Qi entered Qin, Wei Zhao turned his face, Chu recaptured Chendi, and the Wei people did not dare to use troops in Si again."

"In the matter of Sishang Huaibei, Qi State is the key, a Qi State that has been weak for five to ten years is the basis for our future victory."

"In tomorrow's battle, the six fingers will make a feint to let Doctor Pingyin attract the remaining reserve troops and elites in his hands to the north. I took the 1st Division and cavalry, as well as the remaining artillery, to pry open the line of the Qi army in the south. ”

'As soon as they move, we have enough time to get in before they react. When they react to attack and attack, we will suffer minimal losses, otherwise those reserves and elites are still there, and we will face a counterattack from their regrouping. ”

"It's not just about the six fingers, it's about everyone. If you don't attack fiercely, the feint attack on the Six Fingers side will not be considered the main attack by Doctor Pingyin and transfer the elite over. The attack on the six-fingered side is not fierce, and my side will face a situation of competition after breaking through, and the reserves and elites of the Qi army will make up for it. My side can't open the situation in one fell swoop, our losses will be three or five thousand people, then don't think about intercepting the Linzi Army, we can only think about making peace with Qi after capturing Pingyin, the main force of Qi is still there, and when we deal with Huaibei, Yuebei, Song and other things, we have to worry about Qi State attacking behind our backs. ”

"Do you get it?"

Everyone nodded, understanding the meaning. If the attack on his side is not strong, Doctor Pingyin will not have a sense of urgency, without a sense of urgency, and the fierce feint attack on the Six Fingers side will not make Doctor Pingyin make up his mind to fight for the hills with the reserve troops and the elite private soldiers around him, and the main attack on this side may face a situation where the Qi people are fueling so much that the Qi army cannot quickly collapse.

In today's battle, no one doubts that victory belongs to their side, and all that has to be considered is casualties.

Seeing that everyone nodded, Shi said again: "Those things that the Xuanyi Department preached today, we should also pay attention to tomorrow." Those who raise their hands do not kill, do not kill anyone, even if they kill red-eyed, the representatives of the ink masters of each company must also pay attention to the rules and principles. ”

"If you have the world in your heart, you must have the bearing of the world. The Marquis of Qi can tear our men apart and kill the captives who surrendered, but we can't. ”

"Since we say that some of the world's Qi Chuyan Han are all people of the world, then we are also people of the world. How can there be a thing of one's own people killing one's own people? ”

"The sin is not in the soldiers who are compelled to do so, but in the princes and princes who wage unjust wars. This is important to note. ”

After repeated instructions, seeing that there was nothing more to advise, Shi looked at the map again, then asked everyone to disperse, and after returning to convey to the military commander, we must unify our determination, and tomorrow's decisive battle must be fought more bravely.

…………

The next morning, there was no wind or fog, and it was still a good day.

On the north side of the battlefield, with the orders of the heralds, the same routine as yesterday began to attack again.

In the melee yesterday afternoon, the sappers had already dug up the artillery positions at the designated positions, and once the twelve long-barreled copper cannons were deployed, they could drive away or suppress the nine cannons of the Qi State on the mountain.

It's just that the position is still between the two armies, and the infantry needs to attract artillery fire from the hill to prepare for the deployment of artillery.

Six Fingers had clearly told the commander of the 13th Brigade the intention of the operation, and there was no need to hide anything, and he clearly told them that it was time to exchange the elite for the artillery to deploy.

This time it was more fierce than yesterday's, and it was necessary to directly break through the Qi people's crumbling camp yesterday and directly threaten the hills, so that the artillery on the hills could take care of one or the other: the artillery that attacked the unfolded artillery could directly rush to the hills; Attacking the 13th Brigade, once the long-barreled bronze cannons of the righteous division were deployed, the nine guns would be forced to withdraw.

If you want to make the Qi people feel the pressure, you must let the 13th Brigade play with momentum, otherwise there will be opportunities for the Qi army to take care of one or the other.

At the sound of the horn, Six Fingers solemnly said to the brigade commander of the 13th Brigade: "This time, the entire division will cooperate with you." Fifteen brigade cannons are also in your favor. It is necessary to collapse the Qi people behind the first camp at once, and then make a posture of attacking the hills. As for whether to attack with all his might, wait for orders. ”

"Your brigade casualties will be large, but if your casualties are large, the casualties of the whole division will be small, and the casualties of the entire army will be smaller. That's how brutal it is to fight. ”

The brigade commander of the thirteenth brigade nodded and said, "It will definitely be done." But our brigades on both flanks must also keep up. ”

Six Fingers nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about this." If you take the camp, there will be a company to follow you on both flanks, and the rest will confront the phalanx of the Qi army to strengthen your strength. If you take the hillside, then the Qi people on both wings will naturally retreat, and there will be no threat to the two wings, whether it is true or false to attack the hillside, your side is the key. ”

As he spoke, the herald came running from the south and said, "Commander Shi ordered the artillery to bombard first, and the corners of the troops began to attack." Shi Shuai said, as soon as Yuzhong arrives, your division will break through the first camp of the Qi people within two quarters of an hour, so that Doctor Pingyin will be convinced that we are mainly attacking the hillside. ”

"If everything goes well, at the latest at five o'clock, the appropriate side will be attacked."

At the beginning of the corner, it was nine o'clock.

At this time, the day is divided into 100 parts, each of which is a quarter of an hour, which is not fifteen minutes in the afterlife, but it is very close, about fourteen minutes and twenty seconds.

The army had its own means of keeping time, and both the leaky pot and the sundial had to be carried to determine the time.

Six Fingers looked at the sun, and at this time there was still about an hour left before the general attack, and the artillerymen were still warming up.

There are too many uncertain factors on the battlefield, but the overall plan still needs to be there. The time is specified, which means that when the time comes, no matter whether the Qi people are mobilized or not, the southern front will launch a general attack, in fact, it is also telling the six fingers: When the time comes, your side must also be fully invested, if the Qi people are not deceived, then your side will be the main attack.

He calculated the time, signed his name at the herald's warrant, signaled that he had received the order, and asked the commander of the 13th Brigade to prepare first, and then he adjusted the deployment.

The two brigades on the left and right flanks were kept still, and all the fifteen brigade bronze cannons were deployed in the direction of the 13th Brigade's attack, and he did not leave any more reserves, but placed the remaining two brigades in the division behind the 13th Brigade. If there is a problem, it is necessary to press it all.

The staff officers took out the sundial and the water leak, and the sunshadow moved slowly on the copper base with the occasional cannon sound, and the officers were staring at the water leak and the sundial except for the silence around the six fingers of the cannon.

When the Shadow finally reached the corner of the word "Yuzhong", the entire line of the righteous master was like a puppet controlled by a rope, and suddenly became agitated.

Next to the copper cannon that was originally slow and afraid of overheating, the officers shouted loudly, the gunner's movements were several times faster, and after a few rounds of rapid fire, there was already a gap in the formation formed by the Qi people.

The whistle sounded, and the 13th Brigade began to move forward briskly, the two wings of the brigade following in tandem, and the drums became more and more impatient.

The twelve hidden long-barreled bronze cannons were ready, and the path was flat.

The front line looked the same as yesterday, but it was fiercer and more impatient than yesterday's offensive, and after the muskets of the 13th Brigade were fired in rotation, the spearmen began to charge.

The brigades on each flank were divided into two companies to support the attack of the 13th Brigade from the flank, and the rest fought with the Qi people.

The 13th Brigade did not spare any longer, and with the help of artillery and muskets opened a gap in the formation of the Qi army, launched an assault.

Six fingers observed the situation from the telescope, and at the moment when the Qi army's military formation had just begun to show a trend of comprehensive retreat, he waved his hand and said to the trumpeter next to him: "Blow the trumpet, let the artillery set off, the Qi people can't hold it." ”

What battlefield commanders need is an impromptu response, that is, the right timing. When it is late, the Qi people will discover their intentions; Early, the 13th Brigade could not attract the attention of the artillery of the Qi army.

What seems to be a simple countermeasure, if the timing is not right, the effect will be greatly reduced.
