Chapter 149: The Battle of Nanjishui (End)

The cavalry would not have charged at too far away, then the horses would not have been able to stand it.

You can only run slowly, and when you gradually accelerate to a distance of a few dozen paces from the enemy formation, you can increase the horse's speed to the maximum.

Jogging can maintain the formation, build up horsepower, and allow the horse to maintain the formation of the previous jogging as much as possible when the horse is hitting at full speed.

There are not many cavalry companies with spears in the volunteers, and there are very few, because the training is too difficult, and they are basically some veterans who have overserved their service.

Spear impact is easy to break, and these spear-wielding cavalry also have to train in swordsmanship, slashing, and a series of other things.

Although there were no regular cavalry in the Qi State this time, and there were not many princes with stirrup cavalry in the whole world, as the elite of the cavalry, these people still had to practice cavalry hedging that might not be used for almost a few years.

But today, the spear cavalry company in the front row only needs to put into full play the two skills they have learned: "spear attack" and "iron sword slashing".

The sound of horses stepping on the earth was like an earthquake, rumbling, as if the earth was trembling.

The cavalry officer in the front row saw the grass under his feet quickly retreating, raised his head and glanced at the loose military formation of the Qi people, and the Qi people had already begun to flee backwards.

As the distance got closer, the officer ordered, "Full speed!" Impact! ”

The riders stabbed the spikes on the back of their boots into the belly of their usually buddies, and the horses, which had already warmed up and picked up speed, increased their speed to the maximum.

The rider in the front row stood on the stirrups with his feet, the muscles of his thighs crumbling as hard as a stone, his body rising and falling with the back of the horse, and his thick wrists maintaining the trembling spear.

A veteran soldier who has been serving since the Battle of Lushui pointed the spear in his hand at a Qi soldier with a panicked face, and after a flash, the veteran felt that it should be a poor Qi farmer, and he felt a little emotional in his heart.

He didn't look back to see if he had been stabbed, but he knew from the instant feeling just now that it must have been stabbed into the chest of the poor Qi Ren Nong.

The spear had already been dropped, and he did not bow his head, but drew the iron sword from the saddle with a movement that he had already used to as if he were used to it, as smooth as if his left hand could feel his advantage with his eyes closed.

The previous order was not to slash and kill after the breakthrough, but to directly cross the scattered Qi people and regroup under a big tree in front.

The officers carried a few flags on their backs, and the backbone of the company also had them, which were the flags that led the way, and the veterans just looked in the direction of those flags and controlled the horses.

There was a Qi soldier running away with his head covered in front, and the veteran almost subconsciously dialed the horse's head so that the horse was close to the left side of the Qi man, his body bent down slightly, and the sharp iron sword slashed heavily at the neck of the Qi man, and he withdrew the sword with a slight stroke, and did not look back, followed the flag fluttering in front of him.

The cavalry was the first to break through, and the infantry almost followed closely behind to break through the Qi army's formation.

Those elite deciding ink warriors were hardly surrounded by the Qi people, and the assault of the cavalry on the center had already shocked the Qi people's infantry formation, and by the time the follow-up spearmen rushed over, the Qi army had been defeated.

It was like a that had been submerged by autumn water, and the breakthrough on the south side was like a hole dug in the dike, and the entire left wing of the Qi people had been shaken in its entirety.

It was a battle that was not fierce, neither scorching nor tragic, only as fast as thunder.

When the follow-up cavalry rushed through the gap, the Qi army had already given up resistance, and the sound of Qi resounded everywhere on the battlefield.

"Raise your hands and don't kill! The army is broken! ”

Last night's propaganda, today's onslaught, and the thunder just now, the Qi people, who had long been warless, squatted on the ground with their weapons held high, they did not choose to escape, because there was no point in escaping, so it was easier to survive.

By the time the horses arrived, the four cavalry companies of the first wave had already regrouped in the formation and pounced on the panicked Qi army, and the subsequent more than ten cavalry companies had also passed through the gap.

The foot soldiers regrouped at the shouts of the officers, pulled out of the column, and swept north.

In the right place, more than 3,000 Qi people surrendered.

Originally, these Qi people were very panicked, but after surrendering, they were much safer.

Someone on the battlefield shouted for the Qi people who had been captured in the most battle to calm the emotions of their partners, explain the policies of the Mo family, and leave two companies to guard these Qi prisoners.

Originally, there were some things that could not be said in the army, but those Qi people who had been captured once could now say them boldly with confidence.

Familiar country voices, trusted partners, and friends who eat together...... Their words quickly made Qi people, who were still some nervous in their hearts, let go of the last trace of uneasiness.

A Qi man who had been captured once even asked the guards in a dialect unique to Sishang, which he had learned when he was captured, which blended the accents of Song, Chu, Qi and other places: "Hey, soldiers of the Mo family, do you have anything to eat?" You've been attacking for a day, and you've fired artillery in the morning, and we haven't eaten much, and we're hungry now. ”

The battle here was not fierce, and the company of the Ink Warriors guarding it didn't even get much blood, and when they heard the strange accent of this Qi person, they smiled and said, "If you surrendered earlier, you would have been hungry for a long time, so why do you want to fight?" What do you think you're trying to do? What are the benefits? The king will not give you a piece of the land when he has conquered it......"

Naqi showed his rotten teeth and said with a wry smile: "No, if you surrender early, if you can't win, my family will suffer." The father shall be servitude, and the wife shall be a prostitute. ”

After he finished speaking, he whispered again: "But when I released the crossbow just now, I raised the ...... of Wangshan."

The soldier of the Mo family sighed and touched his arms, only then did he think of throwing the bags of dry food into the woods before the assault, and said a little embarrassedly: "Now I don't have anything to eat." But you also know the rules of our Mo family, and there will be food for a while. ”

The two of them began to chat, and there was the sound of cannons in the distance, but the two people who had been hostile before talked about the things about the crops and ridges, like villagers.

In Kyushu, the distance is only a few hundred miles, the weather is the same in spring and autumn, there is no difference between the crops and the hundreds of workers, the nobles can talk about etiquette, music and poetry, and the peasants have their common language......

…………

Qi Zhongjun.

Dr. Pingyin collapsed on the carriage, half-closed eyes and muttered, "It's over...... It's all over! An army of 60,000 is overthrown! ”

"From Lixia in the east to Xue Ling in the west, the Mo family can go wherever they want, and they can attack which city they want! Pingyin has no soldiers to defend, and Linzi is in danger......"

From the moment the first division and cavalry of the Mo family appeared on the south side in columns, Doctor Pingyin knew that he was defeated, and he didn't even give birth to even a trace of luck.

There is the main direction of attack of the Mo family, and after more than a day of fighting, the Mo family has been lying to him, and finally half an hour ago, he deceived the remaining troops that could be maintained to the right army.

The left army is empty, there are no soldiers available, once the Mo family breaks through, it will be a flat river, and the cavalry can go straight to the middle army.

Once the reserve troops, which were originally held like turtles, moved, it was impossible to maintain the original formation.

The collapse of the left flank and the collapse of the front of the Chinese army was only a matter of moment.

The cavalry of the Mo family is like a hot sword cutting into mutton fat, just a light rush, so that a Qi brigade that is supporting to the north is scattered, and it is impossible to organize an effective defense at all.

Now Doctor Pingyin already knows that the right army is not facing the main force of the Mo family, at least not the direction of the main attack.

However, the army was gathered on the right side, and for nearly half an hour, the left flank of the righteous division, which was said to have become the end of the strong wind, did not move.

Half an hour ago, the right army began to counterattack, and there were three brigades and many artillery pieces in the camp at the foot of the mountain, and the attacking Qi army not only did not capture it, but the righteous division there even organized a counterattack.

A little to the south, at the junction of the right army and the central army, after the Qi army approached, the soldiers there quickly formed a formation, and the number was only two thousand, forming three large formations.

The Qi army of three brigades attacked fiercely on three sides, and the northern side might be given way by the attack of the righteous division under the hill.

More than 6,000 people took turns to fight, and then 2,000 righteous soldiers used the formation to the extreme, and with three times the strength, they couldn't break the formation in half an hour.

In the midst of the three zigzag formations were the musketeers and artillerymen of the righteous division, and every time they tried to attack through the gap, the artillerymen and musketeers would fire a salvo.

The spearmen in the formation did not retreat, did not chase or disperse, and the Qi army surrounded on three sides was helpless.

Doctor Pingyin thought that it must be suitable for command, and he had to send all his forces to support the strength of the right army after the smooth offensive and persecution, and in the end, when there was a problem on the southern front, Doctor Pingyin knew that it was only a general of the Mo family's righteous division and not the commander.

Under this gap, Dr. Pingyin's heart was like ashes, and he was full of fear for the righteous teacher, and he was no longer able to fight.

But even if he doesn't break down psychologically, even if he is as strong as a stone and his heart is like copper, what can he do at this time?

The right army turned to the offensive, but the onslaught could not be carried out, and there was no progress.

The left flank had collapsed, and in an instant, the whole army had been shaken.

The rest of the troops, except for the elite private soldiers of the personal guard around them, had been mobilized before, marching towards the right army, and it was impossible to stop and turn to the whole formation in a hurry.

And even if the whole formation, the Mo family breaks through from the left flank, and the brigades of the Qi army can't take care of each other because of the support to the right flank, even if the Qi people can still fight to the death, they can only fight separately and can't take care of the flank cover, that is also the fate of being broken by each one.

The formation is not in order, and it cannot be fought. If you can't fight, you can't fight.

Moreover, the Qi people are afraid that few people are willing to fight to the death.

Doctor Pingyin was already indifferent, and his 60,000 army fought with the Mo family's 40,000, and he didn't even eat a brigade.

From Lixia to the valley and A, all the soldiers recruited from the fiefdoms of the doctors in various places are here, and the Mo family has completely annihilated these 60,000 people, who can defend those cities? Who can defend the cities under the Mo family, who are good at attacking and defending cities, and hold those cities that have no troops available?

As soon as Pingyin is broken, the Great Wall is equivalent to nothing, and the passage from Jishui to Linzi is unimpeded.

Doctor Pingyin had thought that he might fail from the day he fled backwards from the Mo family, but he never thought that he would lose so completely.

The 60,000 army was buried, and not a single organized brigade of the Mo family was lost, and the Pingyin doctor estimated that the Mo family would lose two or three thousand people at most, and the army could still fight again.

From yesterday's confrontation to today's break, but for more than a dozen hours, he still thought that he could hold on for five days, but he didn't want to count it and only saw one dusk.

The right army is not the breakthrough direction of the Mo family at all, but it can force the main general of the right army to fight again and again, a direction of feint attack, and the main force concentrated by himself, but it cannot shake the righteous division front that has become the end of the strong crossbow.

If the Mo family does not care about casualties, they are afraid that their 60,000 army will be wiped out by the middle of the day yesterday, and then think about their vision of wanting to keep five days and ten days, it seems like a joke.
