Speaking of this, everyone recalled the weapons they saw before and began to nod.

Shi drew some circles on the flank of the square and said, "These people are horse soldiers with saddles. The chariots are not easy to turn, and they do not need to hedge against the chariots, but protect the wings and the rear."

"If there are too many enemies and fight to the death, we will seize the opportunity for the generals to attack and defeat the enemy side and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."

"The horse soldiers are faster than the chariot soldiers."

The Mo family is good at defending and is better at defending and counterattacking. It can be seen from Mozi's experience of defending the city. Especially the counterattack that seizes the opportunity after retreating every time the siege retreats, which further proves that the defensive counterattack tactics are easily accepted by the Mo family.

This is considered a talk on paper, but everyone present has experienced fighting. The imaginary enemy is just a common situation in the world at this time: the soldiers and soldiers of the chariots and soldiers, and the three armies are fighting to the decisive battle.

This is a heavy and slow tactic, but it is most in line with the Mohist temperament of loving non-offensive and defensive counterattacks. He just said it briefly, and everyone has tasted some taste.

The important thing about this formation is that it will not disperse. As long as it can protect the flanks and rear, it will be almost difficult to break through in the front.

At this time, there are still remaining in the upright array. As the main assault troops, the chariot also determines that frontal impact is the decisive battle method at this time.

The chariots cannot go far away to attack the flanks, and can only defeat the opponent in frontal battles or support the left, center and right armies.

At this time, there is no formal impact cavalry, so there is no situation where the flank sneak attack cavalry will win.

In the future, as technology spreads, there may be some, but the Mohist school takes the lead and accumulates experience on the battlefield, and will also go faster than others.

When Mo Zi saw the square rounded corners drawn by Shi, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He thought that forty years ago, when he and Gongshu Ban used their belts as the city and wooden pieces as the soldiers to attack and defend each other for 40 years.

Seeing Shi was still talking in a turbulent manner, he drew his sword with his backhand, drew several squares opposite Shi's army, and smiled and said, "What you said is to defend first and then attack, but the battlefield changes. What if the opponent defends the enemy with a crossbow to defend the enemy to the death?"

Shi smiled and said, "If the other party defends his life, he will obviously be afraid of my Mo family's army. At that time, we will be enough to restrain the world. They dare not attack easily. Hasn't the purpose of rescuing the war also achieved?"

Mo Zi smiled and asked again: "If the Three Jins work together to attack the Song Dynasty and the Three Jins work together, the Mo family's army will not be able to compete."

"However, like the battle in Linqiu several years ago, the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei joined forces to join forces and will be in Pingyin. If the Mo family wants to win, they cannot defend the decisive battle in Pingyin. Instead, they need to defeat one of them first. Before the three families siege, they will retreat one of them. We have to attack, so what should we do?"

He pointed at the long strips of "cannons" with wooden sticks and said, "First use the cannon to attack. The cannons are far away and the bow is close, so they cannot fight back."

"If they last for half a day, they will not be able to hold on. They can only attack under heavy pressure."

"If you still don't attack, the square formation will slowly move forward, and the firearms will be fired in front and then loaded, following the footsteps of the spear formation. When you take the enemy, the horse army will instigate on both wings. Once you get into the battle, the horse army will surround the enemy's back and defeat it in one fell swoop."

Mo Zi laughed and said, "This is all a brief statement. Everything you said requires a prerequisite. That is, the formation is clean and not messy."

Shi also smiled and said, "It may be extremely difficult for doctors from other countries to be tidy but not messy. However, it is the easiest for the Mohist school."

"As long as the men who prepared the city gate, the giant has been training for many years, they emphasize the formation being uniform but not dispersed."

"The second thing is that the Jiahe iron tools are popularized, and no longer recruit peasant soldiers, but are dedicated to serving soldiers. After training for several years, the formation will be integrated with peasant soldiers."

"Three, what the charity master in Pei County is now the method of spear formation, and our elite Mohist schools also pay attention to obeying orders. There are about 700 of these people, each of whom is the leader of the ranks. The foundation has branches and leaves flourished immediately after two years."

"Four rules... Jin and Chu battle for hegemony began again, and wars continued for several years. The Mo family still had time to complete the training in order to benefit the world in the future."

"In a few years, it is no problem to become an eight thousand troops."

Tactically, everything seems to be a change around gunpowder.

But in terms of strategy, it is still a military system reform under the trend of the times.

The model of the chariot and slingers can no longer adapt to the times and has begun to fall behind. At this time, technical things are more icing on the cake.

All countries are trying to find ways to strengthen centralization and reform the military system. The effect is hard to say, but like the martial arts of Wei, they are taking the path of semi-professional recruitment.

The tactical changes that Shi mentioned were mixed with many ideas of military system reform. Mozi heard the eight thousand troops and looked at Shi and said, "You have always known the importance of adequate food and supplies and civilian use. If there are eight thousand troops preparing for war, they will be trained in full force, and I am afraid that some of them will not be able to support them."

This is true. If eight thousand full-time soldiers exist, according to the configuration after the arrival of the Gunpowder Age, it will be enough to defeat the troops of the two counties of Chu.

However, the supplies consumed by eight thousand full-time soldiers are really huge.

With eight thousand light labor shortages, Pei County's development will be greatly affected: on the one hand, it is really difficult to dig ditches, mine iron ore, coal and stone, and reclaim land.

Shi had already thought of it and said, "These 8,000 people may not be full-time jobs."

"In terms of our Mo family, our 200 people and our charity commanders in Pei County, we will select three or five hundred from the world who came here and gather a thousand. These are full-time soldiers."

"They are well-fed enough to support their families."

"The households in Peixian, Pengcheng and other places shall prevail. One person will be sent out for every three households, and will be trained for three years. After three years, they will either stay in the army or return to their hometown to farm. This will produce thousands of people, endless."

"Once the world is truly endangered, several times of soldiers can be recruited in ten years."

Shi smiled and said, "In addition, the evil young men, those who help farm and those who have no land can come here to join the army."

"We only need to spend a certain amount of money so that they can reach Pei County. I believe that those who have no land to help farm will continue to come."

"There are also many of these people every year. Although they may not have any desire to benefit the world, they can turn into bronze forged swords."

"There is no intention of good or evil in the war. Only those who hold the sword can have it. As long as you ensure that the sword is in the hands of my Mo family, then this sword itself is beneficial to the world, and it has nothing to do with whether the gradually copper has the heart to benefit the world...!"

Shi said this, it sounds like he was talking about the military system, but in fact he wanted to say two things.

One thing is that the Mohist family should appropriately relax the conditions and allow more people to join. On the premise of ensuring that the rule of Pei Pengcheng and the military armed forces are in hand, the scale of the Mohist family can be expanded, and no longer so elite, resulting in too few people.

Another thing is the various profitable trades he has always wanted to do, such as arms, luxury goods, armor pieces, etc., which can now be profitable.

Only by having money can we expand our army. Only by expanding our army can we restrain the world. At least, in front of Mo Zi, this principle can be said this.

If the Mo family did not take advantage of the opportunity of Jin and Chu fighting over hegemony and the Central Plains war and bury their heads to develop, the Mo family would miss the opportunity.
