Chapter 334 Breaking the city, there is no blood (4)

As the city gate was broken and the Teng people did not guard it, the Yue people fled to the inner city to seek shelter.

The defender of the city had nowhere to retreat. If the Moshe went up, they would not have the chance to regroup.

Mozhe slowly formed an array on the city wall and said to the vicious heart: "Although the Mo family has the ability to break the city, it's a pity that they did not respond enough to the formation. Although the formation is neat, the advancement is slow. I originally thought that if I couldn't hold on, I abandoned the Ximen soldiers and took the rest back to Langya... Now I can gather as much as I can!"

He got on the car and asked his attendants to gather the defeated Yue people. He didn't care about preparing too much, and he didn't even have time to prepare food and gave up all the supplies. Anyway, Ni, Zou and other countries would provide food and grass, and the distance was only a few dozen miles apart.

In panic, the Yue people re-arranged and gathered about 1,400 people. The people were panic and frightened and could not fight again.

Regardless of the Yue people who were still in the city, they fled towards the northeast gate, and the Teng people hid at home and did not dare to stop them.

After leaving the city gate, there was indeed no army garrison here, only a few Mo people riding on horseback retreated in a hurry, as if to repay.

The eagle let out a sigh of relief, knowing that if he fled at this time, the gathered defeated soldiers would disperse in an instant, and it would be difficult for him to explain to the clan family members of these people when he returned to Yuedi, so he could only slow down and let the carriage move forward slowly.

Retreat is more difficult than attacking. If the carriage moves a little faster, the soldiers who have finally gathered together will become defeated.

The people of Yue kept looking back and looked around. Sometimes they would be nervous when the wind and movements were disturbed, but after walking for two or three miles, they still couldn't see the pursuers. Finally, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I breathed a sigh of relief, I did not dare to stay here. I could only retreat along the road to Nidi and along the banks of Jing River in the northeast.

Ten miles northeast, Jinghe and Xiaojinghe form a pass here, only more than one mile wide.

Meng Sheng heard the loud noise from the plains of this place, and he heard it clearly.

Qu Jiang, who was standing beside him, said, "The city has been broken! He said that the city will be broken within a few days, and he will really be broken. I don't know what the casualties are? How many people are killed or injured?"

Meng Shengyao looked at the smoke and dust rising in the distance and smiled: "Before attacking Tengdi, Shi had already visited the city walls of Tengdi and made plans. He had the skills to defend the city, and it was no problem to attack the city. I guess there were only a hundred casualties, which was enough to demonstrate my reputation as a Mohist family."

This is true. Nowadays, the siege often chooses to siege the city, relying on the food cuts to force the city to surrender. Either dig the river embankment backwards, so that the rammed earth on the city wall is soaked in water.

If the rest of the attacks are strong, there will always be huge losses. The attack and defense sides have the advantage of defending the city. If more than 100 people can be killed or injured, they will break through Teng land, which is enough to let the world know that the Mo family will not only defend the city, but also attack the city. In this way, when the giants and the princes of the world agree to a alliance to stop the war and benefit the world, the weight of their words will be even more sufficient.

The brigade men and the cavalry on the other side of the river had been waiting here for a long time. They were not allowed to live, and could only eat those military food and dry cakes.

Compared with the past meals, only military rations and dried cakes are considered good. The poem "Picking Wei" starts with picking Wei, and those soldiers guarding the border often picking Wei and eating it.

Hearing the loud noise from Tengcheng, the soldiers immediately became alert and had already ordered that no noise be allowed, let alone drumming.

Meng Sheng only asked someone to pass orders and prepare for formation. Sima Chang, a grassroots officer in the army, was mostly Mo. After the order was issued, the team quickly gathered and arranged the array, divided into three teams, with a character-like configuration.

The musketeer is in front of him and has been loaded long ago.

Most of the soldiers in this brigade participated in the battle for the first time and were trained for several years. This was the first time he went to the battlefield. He was both nervous and excited.

Fortunately, the officers around him and the soldiers in the front line led the lead to calm the mood of everyone, everyone held their spears tightly and waited quietly.

Many musketeers who fired for the first time did not dare to blink, for fear of missing out on the enemy or fear that their fuse would ignite the gunpowder tank on their bodies.

The deputy musketeers who hold short swords and usually carry weapons and supplies for musketeers crouched in the bushes by the river. Once the Yue people fled in disorder, they would come forward to chase and kill them.

Meng Sheng held a short sword in his hand, and his fingers unconsciously knocked on the sword body, and his heart was also anxious.

He killed a lot of people and was brave and fierce when he was young. He was not anxious because of the upcoming battle, but thought of what he said before parting.

Shi told him that if the Yue people really fled to this side, this would be the first field battle since the righteous master had actually formed the formation. The beautiful battle must be fought, which can be regarded as a test.

This battle is fought well, not only will the Yue Kingdom send troops slower, but it will also greatly increase the morale of the righteous army and make it more confident in fighting in the future.

In the future, there must be field battles. The Mo family has methods to attack and defend cities, but there are few ways to summarize the field battles. If they cannot fight in the field, whether they are planning to choose the emperor or constrain the kings of the world to stop wars in the future, they are all fantasies.

If you win, you will win. Meng Sheng is very confident in this regard.

But how can we win beautifully and how can we wipe out the Vietnamese who fled with the smallest casualties? This is the issue that Meng Sheng needs to consider.

When must formation be formed? When can the pursuit be dispersed? This is something that the general must master, and Meng Sheng was a little worried.

The righteous army mainly focuses on infantry, which is completely different from the previous war mode. It is no longer the infantry following the chariots after they rush into the formation, but instead they need to rely on the infantry's maneuverability to make up for the gap in the battlefield and seize the fighter planes decisively.

Meng Sheng let out a long breath, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and waited quietly.

When the keen scout discovered Yueren who was retreating toward this side, Yueren also discovered the existence of Meng Sheng and others. It was only two miles away for the two sides to reunite.

The Yue nobles were secretly surprised, and then they realized that the Mo family was afraid that they had prepared this time, and there were still many people lying here, obviously preparing to intercept him.

However, he stood in the chariot and watched for a while, and hope ignited in his heart.

The infantrymen under Meng Sheng's opposite side were closely arranged, and some musketeers were also assigned to form a row in front of the formation, so the number of people seemed to be very small.

There seemed to be only a few hundred people, and they were lined up in three small square formations, not that many people felt that they dared not fight again and surrendered directly.

If you cross the river at this time, it will become a defeat, and it is even more impossible to gather the remaining troops. Besides, he is also taking a carriage. Even if people can cross the river, what should I do? Could it be that he will walk all the way back to Langya?

Although he felt that the righteous army on the opposite side could be defeated, the Yue people didn't think so. Seeing that there was someone on the opposite side, he was suddenly panicked.

The eagle stood on the chariot and shouted: "Teng City has been broken, and the Mo will chase after it. Now if you want to survive, you can only defeat these people in front of you."

"They are not many. If they cannot be defeated, you will be captured as slaves. Once defeated, you can retreat to the country of Ni. The Ni people dare not disobey us. They will provide us with food, wine."

"If you can win this battle, you will be killed in the country of Ni and eat sheep! If you cannot win, you will be detained as a slave."

Under the threat of intimidation and temptation, the Yue people, who were already a mourning soldier, mustered up their last courage and re-arranged the formation, ready to break through the righteous army who blocked them with infantry and courage.

The Yue people had few chariots and soldiers, and the elite were infantrymen. They were brave and warlike, had tattoos with broken hair, and often held short swords, wooden shields or short axes. They were extremely fierce.

After years of fighting with Qi, the Tian clan sighed that "the people of Yue are also tigers." When Wu and Yue were fighting, more than a thousand people committed suicide in front of the formation to scare the people of Wu, resulting in the formation being broken.

This time, he was forced to the Jedi and thought that he might be arrested as a slave. The courage in the hearts of Yue people finally defeated the panic and fear.

After the array was arranged, there were no bows and arrows, and there were no chariots, so I went forward and prepared to break through directly.

The pride held a sword and abandoned the car and fought in the battle. With an order, he began to move forward.

Meng Sheng, on the opposite side, looked at the loose Yue people formation and shook his head and said to himself: "Shi once said that the Chu people formation is in order and cannot fight for a short time. From this point of view, the Yue people formation is dispersed and chaotic, and cannot fight. However, it is considered brave. In panic, it is not easy to be able to line up and move forward."

Then he said to the people around him: "Since he has forced the Yue people here, then he will order the musketeers to shoot as they had trained before. Shoot in turn and retreat into the line."

After passing the order, the musketeers had already set up the brackets, and 150 people were listed in the fifth row. After firing in the first row, they quickly retreated from both sides to the last row to load them. This way, they could shoot for two rounds in total, and finally all retreated to the protection range of the spearmen.

Although these musketeers were nervous, there were not many bows and arrows in Yue people, and the distance was still far, so they were not as nervous as expected when they first went into battle.

The Yue people were moving very fast. Several of the leaders of the team in the front row thought to themselves that they were so fast at 200 or 300 steps apart, and the formation was completely scattered. How could they fight?

Seeing that it was about 120 steps, there was still no movement here. The Yue people who were rushing in front could no longer resist the silence of the battlefield and rushed towards the front a few times.

The eagle cursed in his heart that this is not the time to take courage. If the attack is so early, the formation will be completely chaotic, and the person who is attacking in front will definitely lead the steps of the people behind.

If there are chariots, you can follow the impact at this time, but now it is just a group of infantrymen. At such a distance, you are looking for death. You are already unable to fight and panting when you rush to the front of the formation.

Seeing that it reached a distance of seventy or eighty steps, the musketeers in the first row finally heard the order and placed the musket that had been placed on the wooden fork flattened and aimed at the Yue people who were rushing in front.

With a move of his finger, he pulled the trigger, leading the snake hook wrapped around the winning one, and in the gunpowder pool beside the setting sun.

A burst of white smoke, a moment in his hand, without checking whether it hit the target, subconsciously carried a musket that was more than ten pounds heavy, picked up a wooden fork and spread it to the left and right, and went from left to the last row.

You cannot pass by the musketeers in the back row, that is clearly explained during training. The victory on your body may ignite the gunpowder on others, and the gunpowder on your body may also be ignited by other people's fuses. During training, there have been several cases where the gunpowder was ignited and burned to death or died of serious injuries.

After the first row retreated to the back, they immediately made a wooden fork, poured gunpowder into the mouth of the muzzle from the small clay pot, suppressing the curiosity in their hearts and not looking at the battle situation ahead.
