This fashion does not have the classic battle of the Marquis of Huaiyin in later generations, and the battle of Jingcheng won a great victory, but there are many negative teaching materials.

For example, Xun Lin's father in the battle of Yi that year, with his back to the big river, in the face of the counterattack of the Chu army, Xun Lin's father was worried that he would be annihilated by the backwater, so he ordered the Chinese army to cross the river, "the first to help reward", as a result, there were boats on the big river in front, and there were chasing soldiers of the Chu people in the back, and the Jin army fought for the crossing, so that "the finger in the boat can be touched".

In addition to relying on genius, the war also relies on constantly summing up experience, for example, no one will naturally have to learn from the Huaiyin Marquis like Xu Huang in the romance to make great contributions, but when they choose to fight against the water, they will think of Xun Lin's father's negative experience of "being rewarded first".

The lesson that Dr. Pingyin can learn is that if you want to go back to the water, you must scuttle all the boats, let alone think about building pontoon bridges and the like.

The counsellor's advice was undoubtedly correct.

As said in "Nine Places", soldiers are not afraid when they are trapped, they are solid if they have nothing to do, they are detained if they go deep, and they are fighting as a last resort.

Now that the main force of the Mo family is in a heavy place, it is obvious that the logistics are not good, and the speed of the breakthrough is too fast, which is actually a taboo for the soldiers according to the match.

But now the Qi army can't advance or retreat, it is impossible to win the field battle, and if you retreat, you can't outrun the righteous division, in fact, the Qi army has fallen into death.

Once you are in the place of death, you have to live to die, and the only way to win is to infinitely magnify the condition of the place where the righteous master of the Mo family is located.

Doctor Pingyin also understood that if he escaped alone, he would be killed. And if the army is chaotic, if you run first, you may not be able to outrun the Mo family's cavalry, and it will be a dead end at that time.

Rather than this, it is really better to line up with your back to the water, and let the soldiers fight as a last resort.

As long as it can last for a few days, every day passes, the balance of victory will tilt a little towards the side of Qi State.

He thought that his field command was not as suitable as the one who became famous in the first battle of Lushui, so he didn't want to think about anything like a flank counterattack, so he could only choose to defend to the death, and the chariot and other things could be used as a defensive camp instead of thinking about using the chariot to charge into battle.

The chariot requires a lot of space, and once it is not performed well, the place where the chariot attacks may become the direction in which the Mo family breaks through the defense.

So Doctor Pingyin made a little bit on the map and said, "In this way, early tomorrow morning, we will march out of the camp and march to Nanjishui." ”

"The formation is like a crescent moon, and the Chinese army is convex and the wings are bent. Behind it is the water. ”

"All the chariots were used as barracks, and all the ships were burned."

"Tonight, let people gallop and spread the book, and order the soldiers of Chengyang, Xiaqiu, Gu, A, and Lixia to come to help, just say that I have dragged the main force of the Mo family's righteous division, as long as the army is surrounded, I can win a big victory."

…………

The next morning, both sides had breakfast early.

The weather was just right, and the cavalry of the scouts and scouts attacked separately, approaching each other's formations, intending to harass and slow down the build-up of the entire army.

Soon, the direction of the movement of the Qi State military array was transmitted to the Mo family's side, and the intention was very obvious, the Qi State wanted to form a formation against the water.

After the army gradually approached, the main officers of the Shihe Volunteer Division climbed a hill and observed the movements of the Qi army with a clairvoyant scope, and saw that the chariot was being used as a base in the Qi camp, and they couldn't help but shake their heads.

After seeing it, Six-Finger said, "This Pingyin doctor wants to learn turtles." Leaning against the river, is this afraid that we will raid the flanks? Want to tow along the river until reinforcements arrive? ”

The officers around him responded, "It should be so." Sun Wuzi said, put it to death and then live, the soldiers are not afraid if they are trapped, they are solid if they have nothing to do, they are detained if they go deep, and they are fighting as a last resort. ”

"They are soldiers to death. In fact, we are also in a dead land, once we can't attack for a long time, and all kinds of doctors and reinforcements come, we will have to be passive at that time. ”

Shi naturally thought of the backwater battle of the Marquis of Huaiyin in later generations, but said with a smile: "Soldiers, Zhengqi successively." The Qi army wanted to put it to death and live after life, but it only thought about putting it to death and living after life, but he didn't expect that once he was defeated in the place of death, there was no way to escape. ”

In the later battle of Jingcheng, Han Xin's soldiers were exactly the same as Qi, and the battle was just to organize defense, and the final victory was the surprise soldier who attacked the Zhao army's camp, which led to the two psychological collapses of the Zhao army and won the final victory.

Now facing the Pingyin doctor's backwater array, he didn't care, and said with a smile: "The soldier must have the heart of death before he can fight to the death." If our righteous teachers are good at building a view of Beijing, then the Qi army may fight to the death. ”

"The result of their unsuccessful battle today was already doomed as early as the battle to aid the most. In the battle of aid, the Qi army was defeated, and we captured a lot of Qi people, and after some education, they were all released. Now the news from all sides is that there are many Qi people who have come to aid the most battle, and most of them are told in the army. ”

"That's why I said, rules, righteousness, these forces that don't seem to be soldiers, can sometimes be worth tens of thousands of troops."

His finger lightly pointed at the camp where Qi Jun was busy, and said with a smile: "Doctor Pingyin has a plan and is not broken. Being able to think of the tactics of back-to-back formations proves that it is strategic. ”

"Whether it's because he thinks he can't beat us, or whether he really thinks of waiting for help to magnify our disadvantage in a heavy position...... Since he has chosen to line up against the water, it shows that he is strategic. ”

"But ......"

He couldn't help laughing and said: "But he knows that he can't defeat us, or thinks of defending to the death, so when the Qi army began to retreat three days ago, if he makes this decision, he will build a camp in place and wait for reinforcements, I will praise him." ”

"Now, I can only think it's ridiculous."

"He panicked when he saw us approaching, ran first, but didn't run, and then chose to line up with his back."

"Three days ago, he had at least two days to build the barracks, organize the defenses, dig the ditches, and plant the dogs to walk. In that case, it might be really difficult to attack. At least we also divided our troops to guard against the Wei and Han coalition forces in the direction of Chengyang. ”

"Now, what can he do with the barracks? The soldier ran away for three days, and the army was in confusion, and he, as the commander, may feel that this is a clever plan, but in the eyes of the soldier, this is the helpless strategy after being cornered. ”

"In this way, how can you not be defeated?"

First reassured everyone, and everyone was convinced, and nodded one after another.

There is no hurry, the speed of the righteous division is very fast, and now there is no hurry to carry out, so I talked to these officers about these strategies.

Six Fingers said: "You said that the Mo family is good at guarding, but guarding is not stubborn. He also talked about the heavy land and the dead land. If you really want to defend, you should rely on the strict organization of the military formation, renovate the camp, line up rigidly, rely on spearmen and musketeers, and make sure that the flanks collapse without chaos. ”

"But I don't think Qi Jun can do it."

"The battle is heavy but not strong, and the artillery is scarce, so if you want to win by relying on rigid formations and renovating the camp, you must have more artillery."

"Otherwise, if you hold in formation, the artillery will bombard, and the iron pellet will be extremely damaging to the dense formation, and it will be easy to open the gap, which will not be able to win. Unless it is their own cavalry and artillery that desperately destroy the artillery of the attacking side, it is possible to form a battle to defend to the death. ”

"The Qi State is now using the chariot as a stronghold and retreating to the riverside, which is not ready to attack at all, but to learn from the turtle."

"This Pingyin doctor didn't think clearly at all, before the copper cannon appeared, it was still possible to win by holding on to the backwater. The bronze cannon is out, and the artillery advantage is on our side, and they don't think about killing our artillery first, they want to defend to the death, so it can be said that they don't even have a plan, they can only say that they have no plan and no decision. ”

"If the Qi army forms a phalanx, it will not be easy for us to attack. However, the phalanx is most afraid of artillery, and it is close to the fierce bombardment, once the phalanx is blasted open, is it not a massacre? If he has no artillery, the phalanx will not be able to hold it. ”

Shi smiled and nodded, "You are the one who can understand that the pattern of war has changed. So, what do you think, how will this battle be fought? ”

The commander of the first division pointed to the map and said: "Yesterday, we have ordered someone to send an order to Chengyang, so that the heavy copper artillery and three brigades in the direction of Chengyang will go north along Jishui. Even if we send troops in the direction of Chengyang, our reinforcements will be ahead of them. ”

"And the Qi reinforcements in the direction of Ah and Gu...... There won't be many of them. If they are scattered, reinforcements are deployed. If it is a joint action, it cannot be combined without half a month, which is equivalent to nothing. ”

"Therefore, it is safest to harass the confrontation first, wait until our three brigades and those heavy copper cannons arrive, and then launch an attack."

Shi nodded and said, "It's a good idea." What do you guys think? ”

The rest of the people also nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "This is the right way." But the sooner the battle goes, the better, and the longer it drags on, the greater the variables. ”

"Qi people have a crescent formation with their backs, and it looks like they can defend on all sides, regardless of the flanks and back. But there is also a major drawback. ”

"If it is a circle, it can be guarded on all sides, but as long as it is broken a little, the circle is not a circle."

"It's the same with the Qi people backing up to the water, it seems that they look at each other from the head to the end, and there is Jishui to cover the rear of the flanks. But head to tail, where is the head? Where is the tail? The beginning and the end are the same, and it can also be said that everywhere is the first and everywhere is the tail. ”

"As long as you break through a little, the Qi army will be defeated. and when they hold on, they will form a great array. The big array moves slowly, these 60,000 people are 60,000 people, and it is the front of the entire 60,000 people that has to be defended. ”

"They are in such a formation, they move their whole body with one hair, and as long as they move slightly, their formation will be completely chaotic. Under the backwater, only by remaining motionless, the soldiers can fight to the death. As long as there is a slight movement, it is a chaotic rout, rushing to cross the river. ”

"We attack, we can form small formations, we move quickly. For example, if 20,000 are concentrated before 10,000 Qi people, it is equivalent to that we actually have 120,000 people, because any point is broken, and the Qi people will be defeated, so at a certain point 20,000 against 10,000, that is, the whole army is 20,000 against 10,000. ”

Everyone present nodded, and the commander of the Fifth Division asked, "If the Qi people find that one of our sides is weak, they choose to change the formation to attack ......"

Shi smiled: "That's the best." As soon as they change formations, they are no longer turtles. The turtle also has a shell that might break my teeth. But once he moves, there may be a situation where the first person can't take care of each other, and he chooses to retreat because he is afraid of fighting with me. Once I move, I will throw away even the tortoise shell, isn't it food in my mouth? ”

"I wish he could move. If I hadn't felt that he was too frightened to move, I would have been ready to induce him to move. Now, on the contrary, he will feel that there are some empty places, and I deliberately left a flaw to induce him to move, but he is more and more afraid to move. ”
