Chapter 235: The Spear Penetrates the Five-Step Alliance (5)

After moving forward with more than a hundred steps, the Chu people did not organize an effective counterattack.

When Mo Zi was teaching the article "Preparing the City Gate", he mentioned that when he went out of the city to fight back, you must be careful at all times and do not let the retreating enemies gather again.

Counterattack and pursuit, giving the enemy a chance to regroup is a taboo. This is the experience that Mo Zi taught to his disciples before he arrived in this world and summed up after a hundred battles.

Once the enemy is in a tendency to regroup, even if the formation is ignored, it must be dispersed first.

But if the enemy has completed reassembly, you must not attack in chaos, but move forward in the whole team.

When should we ignore the impact of the formation? When should we judge the situation and the whole team will advance slowly?

This tests the ability to adapt to the situation and is also a quality that a commander on the battlefield must possess.

Gong Zaoye followed Mozi for a long time, and everyone around him was also a Mo family who had participated in dozens of battles to defend the city. Many times he had a similar mind to Gong Zaoye.

Those who are responsible for rushing and pursuing and dispersing the enemy will not act with those Mo people who are close to both sides of the Yishi Division in Pei County.

Those close to each other were just to control the speed of the Peixian Yishi and cover the wings and side back.

Judging from the infantry at this time, the Junyi Army of Yue was good at using swords and was good at impact, but their formation was not strict enough and they relied on their own martial arts more.

Most of the martial artsmen in Qi State are full-time hiring guards, with strong personal fighting ability, but loose discipline.

The Wu Qi, a Wei man, won the military formation, but the Wushou was not as powerful as that at this time.

If we look at the elite rushing forces of three or four hundred people, it is not considered a chariot, but just a infantryman, these Mohists are already at the peak of this moment.

I had been enduring my strength before and preventing the Chu people from knowing their methods. Today's counterattack was considered a destruction, and there was no concealment and no longer hiding it.

It was difficult to quickly organize defense at night, but after experiencing the drumbeat city four times overnight, the Chu people became numb to these situations. After breaking through the first camp, the Chu people scattered in panic and retreated continuously.

There may be several Chu people like Sima Chang who want to organize the people around them, but Gong Zaiye understands that this kind of thing is like a drop of oil floating on the water, and once it becomes a group, it will gather more and more.

So once you see such a situation, you will immediately lead the seventy or eighty people to disperse it, and will not give the Chu people a chance to assemble.

This team of more than 600 people was like a long steel nail, advancing towards the King of Chu's camp along a long planned straight line.

Under the sound of the drums, their speed was not fast, but they were like huge waves by the sea. Unless the unshakable coast could stop their progress.

…………

There was a chaos in the camp of King Chu.

The King of Chu woke up from his sleep. The nearby servant told the King of Chu about the night attack in Shangqiu City. The King of Chu hurriedly put on his clothes, knowing that this time it was not just a scammer who made the Chu people scared.

Climb up on the wooden tower and look high. There are battles on both sides of the left and right sides.

The sound of drums came from above the city, and the battle on the left and right wings looked a little chaotic, and the central army was even more like a knife stabbed into mutton fat.

The sentencers kept coming to report, and the King of Chu wanted to ask how many people attacked at night, but the person who gave them back could not explain clearly.

Some say hundreds, and some say thousands.

But a little description was made, Chu Sima said: "As he said, he would form an array and break through, and the array would be a long time, and if it doesn't disperse, he would definitely be the elite of the Mohist school."

The King of Chu nodded and said, "It must be like this. Why did the elite Mohist schools gather together?"

He thought for a while and suddenly said, "I was discovered by the city sack man before. I am afraid that Mo Di was intentional. But while we were asleep, we sent elite troops to attack our army at night, so that we could not rest. This is the purpose."

Zuo Yin looked at the chaos in the central army and said, "The Mo family acted unexpectedly, and I was afraid that these people had other purposes."

"The king has to be careful to avoid these people from doing what Cao Mo did back then."

The King of Chu laughed and said, "Cao Mo just took advantage of the opportunity of Lu Hou and Qi to form an alliance. Even if he was brave and strong, wouldn't he be able to do anything to Zhao Xiangzi? Now I have tens of thousands of armored men, and the Mo family is acting unexpectedly, so what can I do?"

"Today's events must be to attack the chaos at night so that we can't attack the city tomorrow."

"A few days ago, the elite Mohist soldiers left the city to fight back, and you all saw that their orders were neat, which was different from those who attacked us on the night of the month. They advanced and retreated in moderation, and the soldiers in front of the formation could not defend. Could it be that they would retreat safely like this?"

The ministers were silent, so naturally they were unwilling to do so.

In the past few days, the Mohist army has been siegeing the city from the relaying machine, connecting the crossbow to the lorry, getting off the grinding car, leaving the dog, leaving the fire, and other mechanical displays, which have made the Chu army panic. There are many rumors that Shangqiu City can only surround but not attack.

If the Mo people are allowed to go out of the city to attack at night, it will lead to chaos in the Chu camp, and those Mo people will escape unscathed, which will definitely lead to the collapse of the army.

The King of Chu said that there was only three days left for the Chu army to break Shangqiu. Once the city was integrated within three days and the rebellion was completely quelled, the Chu army had no choice but to siege the city.

The siege of the city will eventually evolve into a decisive battle with the Three Jins. Not only will the long-term siege of the city decline, but there are also Song people who can help the war. In addition, the Jin people came to save the Song people and form an alliance with the Song State, and the Chu people's military deterrence became a joke, and Zheng and Wei countries were afraid that they would join the Three Jins in an instant.

In this way, the Chu people and Wu Yue fought for a hundred years and would be in a panic all day long and would not be at peace all day long.

Everything will follow the Song State to enter Yangxia, Changping, Duanhonggu, Zheng people and Jin alliances. The cities and towns such as Daliang, Yuguan, Zhongmu, Qifeng, etc. that were so hard-workingly managed by Daliang, Yuguan, Zhongmu, Qifeng will be besieged by the Three Jins and become enclaves.

The pathway to the Central Plains that the Chu people obtained through hundreds of years would be completely blocked.

Tonight, the elite troops of the Mozhe raid. If they succeed and escape, they will not be able to attack the city tomorrow, but they are afraid that the soldiers who will not be able to attack the city will not be in a fight and will be afraid.

And the city will inevitably fail to break the city the next day, and another day will be wasted. After the city is integrated, there will be no chance to break the city before the food in the city is eaten.

When everyone was silent, the King of Chu considered these things, and also considered some other ideas.

He had already formed an alliance with the Mo family. The Mo family would like Hua Yuan Xiang Wu to help Jin and Chu stop the war. What Xiong Dang had to do after three years was to stabilize the national affairs and carry out reforms.

The Chu scholars were too weak, and the nobles were too strong.

Judging from Pei County, Shangqiu defending the city, those iron farm tools, farming techniques and other means, the Mo family had very strong abilities and could become the power of the Chu State's reform.

And they are outsiders, and they can fight against the nobles of their own country, especially the families behind the people who are standing by now.

With them as the main body, if the scholars in Chu State could be integrated, it might be possible to strengthen the royal power and follow the path of change of the Wei people.

So, he hopes to capture some of the Ink masters today.

He knew that Mo's death would never come back. However, the Mo family also valued friendship, so he knew that.

If we can capture hundreds of these Mohist disciples today, or if we are besieged until dawn, and when they are unable to fight, they will be able to scatter with chariots and capture them, then it will be easy to say in the future.

First, all the elites of the Mohist school were released. If they could not escape tonight, there would be no large amount of defense power in the city in the future.

Second, if we can capture Mo family disciples today, and when the siege of the city is over and the hostility between the Chu people and the Mo family is lifted, we can sell it well, so that the Mo people can enter Chu.

He is the hero, so he naturally doesn't care about temporary chaos, but what he cares about is the foundation for the next few decades.

Tonight seems to be an excellent opportunity.

Even though the Mozhe is not afraid of death, as long as he can hold them back, organize forces to siege them until dawn, and let the nobles drive and attack, he will inevitably break the formation.

Once the formation is broken, people will be sent to capture it alive.

The King of Chu looked at the chaos on the left and right wings, hesitated for a while, and asked, "I just don't know what the situation on the left and right wings are? Where is the elite of the Mo family? The number of elite disciples of the Mo family is at most three or five hundred, why can there be more than a thousand?"

"Send someone to visit again! If you can confirm that you are the elite of the Mohist school, you will be rewarded immediately."

"The command of the two wings is not allowed to move around, and the camp can only defend and shoot with strong bows. Then the command of the central army is ready to gather."

"I ordered the gathering of warriors to hold back the Mo people. The Che Guang and the soldiers were fighting in armor and in battle. They did not ask to defeat the Mo family disciples, just drag them down!"

He proclaimed the order loudly and the people around him obeyed the order and prepared, and the King of Chu's plan had been basically taken.

It was extremely difficult to organize an army at night. He knew very well that the only ones who could organize at night were the elite people around him.

If the elite Mohist schools of thought attacked desperately, the camp would only become more and more chaotic. At the current speed of advancement of those people, there would be no way to expect an effective counterattack there to organize.

He could only organize thousands of people from the central army and the royal army near the king's tent, preparing to siege these Momen.

In order to prevent these Mohists from slipping away, they must also need elite forces to stick to these people, so that they can neither walk nor enter. As long as they can hold on for an hour, the King of Chu can gather the Central Army to complete the mobilization.

If they can be trapped so that they can't rush out, then they can use a crossbow to stop them from breaking through at dawn and prepare a chariot to scatter them.

The King of Chu knew that to stick to these elite Mohist soldiers, it was his own elite Che Guang who had to fight for the first time, but he didn't know how many people came.

Such a death-death battle is not useful at all. It is better to let them not participate in the war by letting them get mixed with the elite.

After the order was conveyed, the elite Che Guang of the Chu people, the close servants of the King of Chu, and the central warriors began to gather.

This time is different from the last time. The King of Chu knew that it was dangerous and knew the ability of the elite Mohist army to fight, so he did not dare to take the risk of leading the army to siege himself like last time.

Although he was anxious, it took a lot of time to gather suddenly at night. Even if all the elites were summoned, the entire team could not be completed so quickly.

At this time, it is not very useful to dispatch bows and crossbows to defend. Although there is moonlight at night, it is dark and cannot be shot remotely to cause damage.
