The thirty-seventh chapter of the common servants and the gentleman's golden drums (sixteen)
Right wing of the righteous teacher.
The sound of artillery from the central army does not mean that the right wing will start attacking.
The 7th Brigade is located on the far right side. Unlike the formation of the central army, the infantry ranks here are thinner than those of the central army.
The musketeers were waiting in front of the formation. In the gaps of the company, the small cannons that were jokingly called "big muskets" by the charity masters were also waiting for orders.
The brigade coach of the Six Fingers and the 7th Brigade was waiting for the order boredly behind him.
The escort is an old Mo. He has participated in many battles to defend the city and has emerged from the sea of blood. Although Liuzhi is not old, he has also killed many people when Pengcheng suppressed the rebellion. The two of them are not nervous about the upcoming battle.
The sound of cannons rumbling, and the commander of the brigade asked, "What he said yesterday is, the formation and then the war is the norm; the magic of use lies in one mind... How much did you understand? You first followed him and learned the most from him. For example, today, who can be said to him as the magic of use lies in one mind?"
He knocked his six fingers on his fingers, an iron-piece armored helmet only available for the first-class officer of the brigade commander. He thought of a name and said, "I used to mention Wu Qi from Wei Xihe, and he should be considered as a "
"Actually, I roughly understand what the military strategy means when fighting this formation and then fight. At the beginning of the formation, it was still. But once the battle started, if you want to win, you need to move. This is a change of the formation."
"As our plan, it is obvious that we are preparing to concentrate the Yue people on the riverside and compress them together. But if we set up the left-wing heavy troops in front and the central army at the beginning, even if King Yi of Yue is stupid, he will not be able to place the heavy troops on the side of the river to allow us to surround him."
The coach thought something and said for a while: "That's the case."
Liuzhi laughed and said, "Actually, I think it's appropriate. I'm also using the strategy of 'learning history' to make it easier for Yue people to fall into the trap."
This was what he thought about last night for a long time. After thinking about all the things he learned and heard about in the past few years, he felt itchy before the war and said something.
"When Jin and Chu competed for hegemony, they fought in Chengpu. Don't forget that when I told us, why did the Chu people be defeated?"
This has been said before, and the brigade coach said: "Because Ziyu saw the collapse of the right wing, she still wanted to rely on the central army and the left army to break through the Jin people, and ignored the collapse of the right wing."
Liu Finger patted his helmet and said, "Yes, since we know, how can King Yue not know about this battle in Chengpu? If he saw that his left wing was in a collapse, he would inevitably think about the incident in Chengpu back then. He would not want to repeat the same mistakes and would definitely support the left wing. This will mobilize them."
The coach thought about it for a while and asked again: "Then do you think that there is no possibility of victory for Yue people?"
Liuzhi smiled and said, "I thought about it for a long time last night, but I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I thought of it."
The coach looked at it and the order was not issued yet and was boring, so he said, "Tell me, let me see."
Six fingers pointed to the Hanshui one mile away on the right, and pointed to the fortress behind and said, "We are two support points for the charity master. The right wing is against the river to protect the wing, and the left wing is against the fortress to prevent the surveillance from surrounding the brink."
"As long as the Yue people find a way to mobilize us and turn two support points into one, they may become anxious and at most a small defeat."
"If I am the King of Yue, when I set up a depth by the river, the first weak army will be dispersed. Once the righteous army pursues, it will leave the support point, and the flanks will be exposed, and it will be possible to win."
"If you chase forward, you will leave the army and there will be a possibility of encirclement and annihilation of one of them. This is a small victory."
"If I do not chase forward, the army will also maintain the array forward. Then I will shrink my left wing, take the right wing as the axis, and gradually draw an acute angle. In this way, the right wing of the Yishi will be far away from the shui River, leaving only a support point for the fortress."
He habitually used many words he learned from the quasi-shui to explain, saying: "It's like our front is perpendicular to the shui. If the Yue people shrink the left wing and we go forward, it is equivalent to sliding the radius with the fortress as the center and no longer perpendicular to the shui. If the Yue people continue to lure us and let us take the fortress as the center and the front is horizontal, then we will lose."
"In this way, if there is less support point and more soldiers from Yue, there will be a possibility of victory. But... this is just a saying that the more farmers and soldiers from Yue, they will rely on their deception to retreat... they are afraid that they will be a real defeat. Furthermore, if they use the axis as the point, they will slowly turn the front, which is not something that Yue people's infantry can do."
He thought for a while and said with a smile: "The only possibility of undefeated is not to fight this battle. But before that, he had forced him to fight, dare not siege the city, and dare not avoid the war. So it was useless."
When the brigade coach heard this, he quipped: "Your idea is only based on the same number of infantry forces, and we are far superior to the Yue people."
Liuzhi also laughed and said, "If it weren't for this, the Yue people were more than 40,000, and we were only more than 20,000, so why should we fight? Shi and Gong Zaoye also said that the trick of using it lies in the generals who are single-minded. Since we want to fight, we obviously think that our infantry is stronger and we can win less without the need for famous generals."
As he was speaking, a messenger rushed over from behind and shouted, "Prepare for attack."
This was an order from Meng Sheng. Liuzhi and the brigade coach did not speak, put on their helmets, Liuzhi went out to the musketeers, and commanded all the musketeers in the brigade. The brigade coach freely commanded the spearmen of each company behind.
The infantry on the left wing of Yue people had advanced within three hundred steps, and those small cannons, dubbed "big muskets", were already available.
The musketeer front, Shu Qing Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and a few annoying flies were circling around him, and the buzzing sound was indescribable.
The filling has long been over, and the slightly bitter smell of the fuse burning makes people clear.
He looked at it with a squinted look. Six fingers with pheasant feathers on the top of the helmet were on the left side of the queue, and the sergeant drummer and the young man playing the flute were next to Six fingers.
The company's depth configuration was also considered by Shu Qingwang and Yu Tu.
Because of the rotation of shooting, the head platoon was full of Mozhe and veterans, and the back platoon was also the original infantry who had been in service for two or three years.
Only the middle row is the recruits. As long as the front row does not collapse, they will follow the steps.
When rotating, the back row is also a group of people who may bear the closest distance between the enemy, but the middle row is the safest.
When recruits panic, they often get messed up when loading.
Anything that stuffs the lead bullet first and then plugs the gunpowder; what is filled up and forgets the whole strip inside; what is nervous about burning the fire rope to your own gunpowder can happen.
The 7th Brigade had a total of four musketeers, each musketeered between two spearmen companies, and a company of musketeers and spearmen were on the flanks.
This is an attacking formation. The current formation is called "Xuanxiang Formation". Various types of troops are mixed to facilitate attack.
The right wing was not for defense from the beginning. The six brigades and cavalry artillery were all on the right wing, just to quickly pose a threat to the left wing of the Vietnamese.
After breakfast in the morning, the company captains and representatives of each company had talked with Liuzhi, the brigade coach, and others, so that they could roughly understand how to fight this battle.
In fact, it is not very useful. The company cannot act alone. It must comply with the command of the brigade commander and fight while maintaining a flush state.
What I practice most of the time is how to keep the front flush and how to make up for loopholes.
The reason I told them was mainly to let them understand roughly what the war was and to let them know that the so-called military formations of nobles in war were actually not that mysterious and untouchable.
The "big musket" artillery soldiers next to them had already pointed their muzzles at the first wave of Yue people who were gathering to attack. King Shuqing heard the Sima chiefs of the artillery shouting loudly: "Two wedges..."
That was adjusting the angle of the artillery. He was not an artillery, but someone who knew him was an artillery. I heard that everyone had to send a strange nine-digit table in his hand. How far away was the number of wedges to tiptoe, and so on, it was written clearly. Many people were talking in their minds.
"This is going to fire."
King Shu Qing thought to himself that the artillery next to him seemed to hear something in his mind, and twenty-five small cannons concentrated on the right wing opened fire at the same time.
The black iron ball hit the Vietnamese army with a strange laugh.
After the Yue people were bombarded, the formation had dispersed and chaos had appeared. There were a large number of gaps in the originally dense formation. It could last until now and it had not collapsed. It seemed that it was a powerful army of the Yue people.
At this time, the samurai drum in the brigade rang out, and King Shu Qing subconsciously ordered: "Murderer is ready!"
The sound of the snare drum has completely different meanings as the rhythm changes.
This snare drum was a military order to prepare for attack and shooting, and the spearmen in the company beside each ordered them, so Shu Qingwang felt at ease.
As long as the spearmen don't disperse, their company will be safe.
As soon as he was in the front row, he checked the musket again and clamped the fuse a little. The Yue man in front had already rushed a hundred steps away.
The second shelling fired again, and the Yue people, which had already had a large gap, were even more scattered.
King Shu Qing thought that it seemed that this was not the main attack direction of Yue people. Yue people had chariots and some gentlemen. Looking at the Yue people rushing towards him, they looked like prisoners or slaves among Yue people who had heard the story before.
As long as these people can kill people, they can be exempted from their status as slaves. King Shuqing also heard that when Goujian destroyed Wu, some people committed suicide in front of the formation to intimidate the Wu people. Taking advantage of the panic of the Wu people, the Gentleman Army broke through the Wu people's military formation in one fell swoop.
He didn't know if these people were going to commit suicide, but he thought that these people wouldn't have a chance to commit suicide.
The sharp whistle sounded, and King Shu Qing shouted the last slogan of aiming, and pulled the trigger.
The copper hook and the fuse lit the fine gunpowder in the gunpowder chamber. The white smoke rose. The king of Shu Qing didn't care about how many people killed him, but quickly picked up the muskets and moved to both sides to make room for the second row of musketeers to shoot.
After they retreated, the musketeers in the second row took two steps forward, maintaining a line that was basically flush with the spearmen array, and after shooting, they also retreated from both sides to the back to load.
The first row of musketeers does not need to withdraw to the end of the musketeers, but directly loads on both sides of the musketeers, waiting for the five rounds of shooting to be completed, and then shoot again in the first row.
The drum sound was dong, the sound of the flute was implicitly rhythm, and the spearman began to move forward slowly. The King of Shu Qing took a last look at both sides before loading.
On the right, there were two companies from his own brigade to cover, and on the left were the rest of the companies that could not be seen. Then there was a slight sound of horse hooves trembling under his feet.
Chapter completed!
