The thirty-seventh chapter is the golden drum hand of the gentleman (nineteenth)

There is a lead bullet in his mouth. If he holds it in his mouth, he will not put the lead bullet first and then set the gunpowder. This is how their company loads it.

The gap between the spearmen companies is not large, and the formation of Yue people is too loose and cannot pose any threat to the spearmen of each company.

The Musketeers' three-row volleys before were basically hit by Yue people, and they were already sparse when they rushed over.

He thought that if he could load up quickly, he could shoot again. Now the front was in chaos and could hit anyone with just one shot.

Just as he spit out a lead bullet and stuffed it into the muzzle, the small cannon in the distance roared again, and he ignored it. When he was loading and wanted to shoot, he found that the Yue people had already tended to retreat.

The order he issued was to load freely, and his hard training was only slightly slower than that of old musketeers like Yu Tu.

The moment the second untidy shooting sounded, the left wing of the Yue people, who had been hedged by the spearmen, completely collapsed and turned around and ran away.

The messengers and volleymen behind were passing orders, not chasing or chasing.

Only those musketeers who had completed the loading took advantage of the opportunity to shoot for a round, and then followed the spearmen and climbed the small, low-high mound in rows.

The snare drum sounded, signaling the whole team.

When King Shuqing ascended, he suddenly felt enlightened in front of him, and the Yue people in the middle army could also see it.

The twenty-five small cannons on his side were quickly pushed to the hill. The cavalry who had been patrolling chose to chase this time, but did not chase far away. Instead, they stepped on the retreating Yue people and returned immediately.

But it was this kind of shock that the chasing defeated soldiers brought great shock to the Yue people, especially the collapse of the Yue people's left wing in a short period of time, which made the Yue people panic.

King Shu Qing thought, this was the task of seducing the enemy, right?

But he didn't know that Shi was cursing at the central army. A messenger heard Shi's passing on the military order for the first time and said that Shi was really anxious this time.

"Tell Meng Sheng, what should I do if the fucking King Yue runs away when he sees something is wrong? Tell him, be at ease and stop attacking! The people of Yue are going to be scared away!"

After hearing this, the messenger repeated it, stabbed the horse's belly with his feet and ran towards his right wing.

Shi overestimated the power of the Yue people's flanks and underestimated the offensive capabilities of the six elite brigades. The Yue people's flanks were about to collapse, just like the Chen Cai coalition of the Chu people's right wing during the Battle of Chengpu.

He was afraid that the King of Yue would be panicked and chose to retreat directly. In that case, he would not be able to win a chance to wipe out the main force of Yue.

It is precisely because of the soft persimmon that Yue Kingdom is in a period of decline, and the military system and military strength of Yue Kingdom are actually far inferior to those of the Central Plains countries. I never thought that this battle would fail.

Failure is impossible. If you fight like this, the worst thing is to defend the city and kill the Yue army to let Yue retreat. Anyway, Jin and Chu were busy fighting for hegemony and had no time to interfere, and Qi was still eyeing Yue behind the Yue country.

But strategically, fighting back to the city is a failure.

The current situation is completely different from the pre-conceived ones.

According to his vision, the Central Army should be suppressed by the Yue people, which made Yue Wang Yi see the possibility of victory and feel that the Yishi Division is afraid of fighting, which makes Yue Wang Yi psychologically feel that "if you work harder, the Central Army and the left wing will be defeated, and you can mobilize the troops to resist the Yishi Division's right wing and hold on until the Central Army completes a breakthrough."

This will allow King Yi of Yue to be wary of the collapse of the flanks in the Battle of Chengpu, and mobilize the troops to withstand the offensive from the right wing, and at the same time attack the left wing of the Yishi Division, hoping to break through the Yishi Division's central army before the right wing of the Yishi Division wins and divide the Yishi Division.

Now at the beginning of the world's reform, like Wu Qi's Wushou can go to one against three. After the Later Zhao Wuling King Hu's clothing and cavalry shooting, Zhao's strength also increased greatly. After Qi's reform, it attracted five countries to attack Qi...

The tactics of the old era were completely unavailable in the new era, but I never expected that the right-wing attack was too powerful, and the left wing of the Yue people was really about to collapse at a touch.

In the Battle of Changshao, the premise was that the battle was fought in time and Qi was a great victory, and Lu was considered vulnerable. He acted in one go but failed. Bao Shuya believed that Lu was "cowardly fighting" and that Lu would be defeated in another wave, which led to the successful defensive counterattack strategy of Lu.

The Battle of Chengpu was a fraudulent defeat in Jin State, which made Ziyu see the collapse of the Right Army. Our Central Army and the Left Army could defeat the Jin people first and then support the Right Army.

But the current situation is... if you dare not use any tricks or defeats, if you don't do a good job of tricks or defeats, it will lead to the collapse of the entire army.

When he came up, he formed a formation with two wings protruding with the central army behind him. Even a fool of Yue Wang Yi would not get in.

He was unsure of how big the gap between the army between the Yishi and the current countries was, and he was not sure whether the Yishi could achieve initial disadvantage without defeat.

He dared not take this risk, and the Mo family must also fight steadily. On the premise of steady and steady action, it is best not to take the risk of surprise troops and fight an annihilation battle.

If you lose, you will miss the best opportunity to dominate Sishui - Once Chu and Jin have a result in the Central Plains, no matter who wins, they will not give up Si Shang, and they will inevitably find ways to interfere.

The Mohist school performed too well before, from the Battle of Shangqiu to the breaking of the city in Tengdi, and then to the three months when they took the Yue army around the country in Si Shang, it proved that the Mohist Yishi was a strong army.

The Yishi Division has a total of 500 cavalry. If there are 5,000 cavalry, it is OK to fight this battle. Anyway, the Yue Kingdom has no cavalry and the central army is anxious to defend the two wings to encircle it, which is also a major annihilation battle.

When setting up the formation, they were afraid of the number of Vietnamese troops. The left wing of the Yishi Division became a purely defensive formation. There were only seven or eight brigades in the Yishi Division who could make quick maneuvers, and they were basically concentrated on the right wing. Once the Yue people realized that the situation was wrong and wanted to run, they could not catch up.

The most perfect situation is that Wang Yi of Yue felt that if he tried hard, he would be defeated. Then the right wing of the Yishi's army could be defended by the advantage of the number of people, so that he could gain half an hour, allowing several brigades and cavalry on the right wing to maneuver from the rear with the cover of the hillside to the left wing, and relying on the mobility of the elite brigades to complete the encirclement of the infantry.

He never expected that the peasant soldiers of the Yue people were vulnerable in front of the most elite brigades.

If this continues, if Meng Sheng feels that this is an opportunity to continue attacking, victory can win, but the main force of Yue will slip away, then this big victory over the long term will be meaningless.

At the junction between the central army and the left wing, it has been determined that it is the main attack direction of the Yue people. The question is whether the Yue people are fighting or following the previous war model, they will first rush to see the situation.

But the first wave of impact, with the cooperation of artillery and musketeers, did not even splash water. More than 60 chariots were destroyed, and the Yi army remained unmoved, and the Yue people retreated to reorganize.

If the training level of each brigade of the charity master is similar, in fact, after tentatively fighting once, you can spread the brigade formation with the left wing, adopt the same formation as the left wing, and prepare to encircle the side wing with a horizontal team.

The problem is that several brigades on the left wing have more defense, and once they move, there will be problems. If Yue Wang Yi is another tactical expert, he will seize the opportunity of chaos in the formation, and another wave may also lead to the collapse of the left wing.

In other words, Shi, or all the top generals of the Mohist school can defend the city very well, but the field combat level of tens of thousands of people is still not enough.

Now the first wave of attacks of the Yue people have just retreated and reorganized. The central army and left wing of the Yishi Division have not pursued them. However, they are not afraid of the Yue people surrounding the prominent right wing. Anyway, there are sluggish water blocking, so the Yue country's army cannot be fully deployed due to the terrain.

But what he was afraid of now was that when King Yue saw that the situation was wrong, he chose to retreat directly, and then he turned a "battle of qi" into a "battle of two Tangs" and turned the expected annihilation battle into a sheep driving.

At that time, Jin State has finished packing up Chu State and then stretched its hand to Si. If Yue State's vitality is not damaged, it will be troublesome to fight again.

However, this is really not a mistake on Meng Sheng. Meng Shengli completely executed his order. The right wing initially attacked fiercely, but he didn't expect the attack to be too fierce. He was so fierce that he was extremely worried that King Yue would choose to slip away...

In fact, this is a problem of appropriateness. He is too determined to seek stability, and wants to fight an annihilation battle, which is too difficult, especially when the number of cavalry is seriously insufficient.

…………

The Vietnamese were in the army.

King Yi of Yue's face turned pale.

When the war began, he watched the Yishi Army formation and commented: "The Mo family welcomed me with several formations, and the Winter Snake is the Snake. If you break a little, the entire army will be broken."

He was also considered a person who had fought several battles, and he also cooperated with Jin to bully Qi during civil strife, and received military education from nobles, and could see the problem at a glance.

Judging from the formation, he was right. This is the weakness of the number formation. If one breaks a little, the entire army will collapse.

The righteous master seemed to have only 20,000 people, because the formation was too dense, so it seemed that the number of people was smaller than actually. So Wang Yi of Yue was not prepared to make any plan to deceive and defeat and lure the formation of the righteous master.

The choice of King Yi of Yue is very simple. He just needs to seize the best position and attack hard. As long as he breaks through, the righteous army will be defeated.

The main attack direction he chose was also the fatal point of the Yishi. As long as the junction of the central army and the left wing, as long as he breaks through this place, he can encircle and annihilate most of the Yishi on the banks of the Yanshui River. At that time, he will use it to protect the Yanshui on the flanks, and it will become a fountain that restricts the Yishi from escaping.

The attack method he chose was also the mainstream of the times. He first attacked with chariots and followed by infantry, while the most elite gentleman army of Yue people would not be dispatched for the time being.

When the priests and disciples consumed the spirit of the righteous army and the chariots rushed out of the gap with several formations of the righteous army, the gentleman army rushed forward and could break through.

But the problem is that from the beginning, something was wrong.

A mile between the two sides, the cannons of the Yishi Army began to bombard, but in fact, there were not many people dead, but it was inevitable that the soldiers would panic.

The division challenged the army, before getting close to the military formation, it was a wave of muskets that killed the selected warriors, and there was also a doctor.

After the chariot was approaching, the charity army actually withstood the impact of the chariot with the infantry, and more than half of the first wave of striking the chariot was lost.

What's even more terrifying is that his left wing collapsed instantly. During the period when the chariot retreated, he saw his own disciples running back like a tide.

Indeed, the righteous master set up several formations like dead snakes, but the situation on the left was different. King Yi of Yue immediately thought of the more than 10,000 righteous masters who had been "chased" by him for two or three months. He suspected that the strong army he encountered was the one he had on the left.

The direction of the impact of the chariot on the right side indeed confirmed the judgment of King Yi of Yue. The number of formations set up by the Yishima army has more than enough defense and insufficient counterattack. Otherwise, the chariot will not escape so easily. If the Yishima army also has a chariot, they will definitely choose to counterattack and pursue, and basically they will be defeated.

He also really thought of the lessons learned from the Battle of Chengpu.

But the problem is that in the Battle of Chengpu, the right wing of Chu did collapse, but Ziyu was not a fool. There was a reason for continuing to pursue the right wing on the battlefield, regardless of the collapsed one: the fox-haired defeat of the Jin Shangjun made Ziyu see hope of victory - the right wing of the servant army collapsed, and the Shangjun of the Jin people collapsed, and the Chu State would still win.

But now, the righteous army has not shown any sign of defeat at all, and its left wing is almost collapsed. Is there still a need to continue this battle? Is it necessary to put the Gentleman Army at the bottom of the box into the battle?
