Chapter 145: The Battle of Nanjishui (6)

The twelve guns in the distance had all been deployed, and while the 13th Brigade was fighting on the hills, these 12 guns had completed a suppression of the bronze cannons of the aligners.

The calculated firing angle only needs to be adjusted slightly, and only six of the nine guns of the Qi people are now left, and they are still in a panic.

It seems that he wants to move the muzzle of the gun to counterattack, and he wants to change his position, but it is too late at this time.

The twelve brass cannons, which were more powerful and gunner-friendly, were in excellent positions, which were selected after careful observation yesterday.

Unless the Qi cannons retreat to the slope behind the hillside, or retreat to the south, these twelve cannons can always suppress them.

If they retreated further, even if the remaining artillery of the Qi people was redeployed, it would not be possible to pose a direct threat to the current position of the camp, and the advantage of the artillery would be re-mastered by the Mo family.

The 15 brigade bronze cannons have now been deployed at the barracks, the 13th Brigade has bought enough time, the artillery has been redeployed, and the 145th and 22 brigades have also completed the whole team.

After them, the heart that had been hanging on the six fingers also stretched out as the artillery began to suppress the bronze cannons of the Qi people and the front of the 13th Brigade was stabilized and maintained.

The die is cast.

The Thirteenth Brigade did not rout, but chose to counterattack, and won this for about a quarter of an hour, which determined that the battle situation on his side had been completely tilted towards the Mo family's side.

Now the 11th and 12th brigades are still fighting with the Qi people on both flanks, the companies are fighting, the muskets are fired in turn, and the two wings of the Qi people can still hold on, but they can only protect themselves.

The artillery at the camp has been deployed, the artillery on the hill of the Qi people has been suppressed, and the artillery of the Qi people has been confused from the clairvoyant mirror, and it seems that it must be retreating.

The fourteenth and fifteenth brigades were also completed, the sappers had stabilized the barracks, built simple ramparts, and were digging the positions of the fifteen brigade guns.

The situation of the entire division has completely come to life, and there are not many choices for the Qi people.

Six Fingers put away the clairvoyant mirror, turned around and said, "I'm going to go to the camp to command in front of the formation, the time has come." Light the wolf smoke and tell Shishuai that our side is already stable! ”

The division representatives understood that the next step was to involve the coordination of artillery and the five infantry brigades, and that it had reached a critical moment, and at this time it was not the brigade commanders and heralds on the front line who could control it.

The heralds and staff officers around him, as well as the foot knights of a company under the division, followed with six fingers and galloped towards the front.

Behind him, wolf smoke rises.

…………

On the hill, the commander of the Qi Right Army finally understood the strategy of the Six Fingers at this time, but it was half an hour late.

This half an hour is fatal on the battlefield.

If half an hour ago, he could have judged that Six Fingers' plan was like this, then he could throw all the forces on the hill into the assault, and since the two brigades below were not supportive, he could sweep and crush the thirteenth brigade on the hill from both flanks.

The two brigades at the foot of the mountain had not gained a firm foothold at that time, and the artillery had not been deployed, and it would take time to switch from advance to defense, and with the help of the momentum of the Qi army after the defeat of the 13th Brigade, it might really be possible to recapture the camp, at least at the barracks to form a situation of anxious fighting between the two armies.

Scorching on the hill and scorching under the hill, those are two different things.

Scorched on the hills, in case of failure, the righteous division took the hills in one go, and the right flank of the Qi army completely collapsed.

Anxious under the hill, in case of failure, when the whole team of the righteous division attacked the hill, the support of the Chinese army had also arrived, and the righteous division still could not take the hill.

The righteous master of the Mo family only thinks about victory, not about defeat, because if he loses the whole situation in Sishang, it will be irreparable, and he only needs to think about how to win more magnificently.

The Qi army is only concerned about stability, not about victory. Because from beginning to end, Doctor Pingyin never thought about winning a decisive battle in the field, and the victory he pinned on was to hold out until five or seven days, and if the Mo family didn't leave, they would have to go from the ground to death.

Not daring to take risks means that it is impossible to win under the ground of death.

There is no if, especially on the battlefield, and there is no room for such words.

In half an hour, the commander of the Right Army of Qi had already understood at this time that the situation of the Right Army was completely controlled by the Mo family.

Looking at the Thirteenth Brigade, which had not yet collapsed and was still fighting and even making the Qi army waver, the commander of the Qi Right Army waved his hand and said, "Mingjin, collect the troops." ”

A young general beside him immediately said: "The Mo family is now at the end of the storm, and it used to start from the rolling tide of the East China Sea, and now it can't blow the feathers!" ”

"At this time, it is time to send another brigade to join the battle, and the Mo family's brigade will be defeated......"

As soon as the words fell, the commander of the right army of Qi waved his sword with a sheath, and without the previous elegant temperament, he slapped it fiercely on the face of the person who spoke up.

The heavy scabbard carried the anger of the commander of the right army, and directly whipped the man's face red and swollen, and the man covered his face and did not dare to speak.

The commander of the right army of Qi scolded: "You know a fart! ”

"Now that brigade is defeated, what can we do?"

"The Yamashita Mo family has been deployed, and it can't be done in one go. At that time, if the soldiers do not obey the order and continue to attack, they will be defeated, and there will be no follow-up help, which will be given to the Mo family in vain! ”

"Look at the wings again! The Mo family has already gained a foothold in the camp, sweeping both wings, and both wings will collapse. ”

"The top priority now is to reorganize the team, and as soon as the reinforcements from the Chinese army arrive, they will immediately storm the camp in a column, so that the Mo family will have no time to sweep the two wings. Then two brigades were sent to support the two flanks in order to stabilize it. ”

The commander of the right army of Qi pointed his sword at the two wings that were still slowly engaged in musket fire at the foot of the mountain and said: "Each wing needs another brigade to stabilize." ”

"But if you don't attack the barracks, those two brigades will also be sent in vain, the Mo family will sweep the two wings, and the brigades supporting each side will be defeated in an instant."

"The Mo family has now gained a foothold, the bronze cannon has been deployed, and our cannon has been suppressed by them and can only retreat. And if you want the Mo family to gain a foothold, you can't divide your troops and sweep the two wings, at least four more brigades must be invested to attack the camp, so that they can't afford to sweep the two wings. ”

"That's already going to take six brigades. On the hill, it is also necessary to reserve 2,000 crossbowmen, two brigades of foot soldiers, to suppress the formation. ”

"The entire Right Army needs at least eight more brigades! And time is running out, you let me send another brigade to fight the Mo family at this time? To block the road and delay the counterattack on the barracks? ”

The man covered his face and couldn't make a sound, and the commander of the Qi Right Army sighed: "Send another brigade to fight with the Mo family in the hills, how can the four brigades be deployed to attack the camp?" If we don't attack the camp again, the Mo family on the left and right sides will sweep over, and then we can only pile up on the mountain! ”

"Without the front under the mountain, the hill will be divided by the Mo family, the right army and the middle army will be cut apart, and they can't take care of each other, won't the three armies have to be defeated?"

The commander of the Qi Right Army shook his head, understanding that now was not the time for a rout, but the Mo family had completely mastered the situation and grasped the initiative.

Now that the Mo family has been arrayed and the artillery has been deployed, the commander of the right army of Qi does not know how much he will lose if he attacks the Mo family at this time, but the Mo family has now seized the initiative and forced him to attack.

If they don't attack, the Mo family can use the camp as a support point, and they only need to divide half a brigade to directly defeat the Qi troops on both sides who are still scorching.

In that case, the entire right army of the Qi army would have to retreat to the hills on all fronts.

The number of people is small, and the hill cannot be held.

There are too many people, there is a lot of chaos, it is difficult to mobilize, it is impossible to start a large array, and the number of people may not be as small as the number of people.

Moreover, the front camp under the hill is completely lost, which means that there is a pass at the junction of the right army of the Qi army and the Chinese army, once the Mo family breaks through from the pass, even if the Chinese army does not collapse, the connection between the right army and the Chinese army will be cut off.

In that case, the three armies don't have to think about holding on for five days, and whether they can hold it until dark is a question.

Originally, the camp under the mountain was not lost, the front line was still there, and the main general of the right army of Qi only needed three or four brigades in his hands as support, and the Chinese army continued to send troops to help, so he could fight an oil war with the Mo family and hold out until dark.

But now, with less than eight brigades in hand, it is a problem for him not to say that he wants to regain the initiative, but also to hold the right flank.

He didn't want to say anything anymore, but ordered heavily: "Mingjin, collect the troops, the Mo family will not dare to chase after you." ”

"The artillery retreated, thinking that it was crushing."

"The whole team of foot soldiers, divided into left, center and right."

"One brigade on the left and one brigade, two brigades in the middle, and when the Chinese reinforcements arrive, they will counterattack."

"Left and right support, the second brigade and the follow-up Chinese army reinforcements attacked the camp. If you don't attack the camp under the mountain, you won't be able to hold the two wings. ”

After being silent for a long time, he glanced at the artillery and the infantry of the two brigades deployed by the Mo family under the mountain, as well as the "cavalry" who were about to move behind, and sighed: "Don't want to recapture the camp, just hope that they can't attack the two wings." Repeated impacts, defeats and reorganization, today may be worry-free. ”

"Please ask the commander again, the right army is in danger, send reinforcements again, or let the brigade and company that can still fight again get close to the right army and support at any time."

He waved his hand, and the people around him honked.

The crisp sound passed through the battlefield, and the Qi brigade in front, which was already crumbling and launched a counter-attack, was almost accompanied by this cymbal, and the last trace of morale was completely disintegrated, and they rushed backwards in a swarm.

Fleeing is not afraid that they will escape from the battlefield, anyway, there is a mountain or water behind, and after retreating, the whole team can be gathered at the water's edge, and they can't fight today, or they can be used tomorrow.

Looking at the Qi army that turned the retreat into a rout, and then thinking about the journey of the righteous division who retreated calmly before, the commander of the right army of Qi shook his head again, and said in his heart: "If it weren't for the Mo family going deep into the land, our army would have been defeated." Just, how many more days? Can the army of Linzi really defeat such a strong army? ”

Throwing off these distant things in his mind, the commander of the Right Army turned around silently, stood on the carriage, and said no more.

On the hill, with the retreat of the Qi army, the 13th Brigade, which had been fighting and was covered in blood but still in a neat formation, did not pursue, but stopped with the dull sound of drums, watching the Qi people who had been fighting with them for a long time break away.

It is no longer possible for the Qi people to send people to attack the Thirteenth Brigade, at least for the time being.

The commander of the 13th Brigade shook the slippery spear shaft soaked in blood, and said in a slow but firm voice: "Carry up the fallen comrades and wounded partners. ”

More than 1,000 soldiers squatted down silently, lifted or carried their dead or wounded companions in groups of two, and regrouped in the rout of the Qi people, under the watchful eyes of the Qi people two hundred paces away.

The brigade commander put down his spear, drew his iron sword, and shouted: "All the thirteenth brigade! Turn back, walk slowly, and head to the barracks! ”

The surviving company commanders, company representatives, and Sima Commanders of each company conveyed orders one after another, and the echoes echoed.

A moment later, the surviving soldiers turned back in unison and said in unison: "Thirteenth Brigade, advance to the barracks!" ”

Then, with their tired legs and beats like a drum, the soldiers raised the brigade flag, as they did when they stepped on the hill, and marched slowly, the banner spreading.
