Chapter 13 Each thinks that they will win

When Solusan left, the propaganda of the Mohist school had changed, and he had long since stopped promoting the rhetoric of helping the weak country defend and attacking the powerful and warlike king. Of course, Solusan knew it.

When the Mohist family was weak, they needed to grow and grow in the cracks of aristocratic conflicts. The slogan was: "The big one attacks the small one, the strong one attacks the weak one, the large one attacks the weak one, the large one suffers few thieves, and deceits are foolish, all unrighteous and unfavorable to the world."

So, in front of the Central Plains, the Mohist family, from Shangqiu to Niu Lanyi, used this slogan as a reason to send troops, quietly expanded their strength, attracted market figures to join, expanded their influence, and quietly developed.

When the war between Wei and Chu reached its most intense, the Mo family seized the opportunity of the powers' inability to interfere, sold Chu and Zheng, and settled Si Shang. After replacing Yue and becoming a powerful force on the side, the propaganda caliber was immediately changed to: "Yu attacked Sanmiao, Shang Tang attacked Jie, and King Wu attacked Zhou, the ambition of heaven was in line with the interests of the people, and the lower was in line with the interests of the people. This is a move to punish the injustice and benefit the world. The righteousness and unrighteousness of the war depend on the three manifestations of profit, and the three troubles of the people, and any one can solve it is a righteous war."

So the Mo family no longer acted as a messenger, but instead ceded the cities of Yue State, divided the land of Si Shang of Yue State, and carried out the politics of the Si Shang countries. They interfered with Qi State's attack on Lu, hindered Chen Chu's eastward advance, entered Gaoliu, Zhao State, and went west to Nanzheng, Shu Capital...

These people have experienced such a change. As soon as Solusan said, they immediately understood what Solusan meant.

He is a person who crosses the Asian and European grasslands. He has seen many things on the grasslands and is naturally considering solutions.

The Mohist policy in Gaoliu was to differentiate the Hu people, replace the tribe with classes, and naturalize a large number of Hu people's lower class members, and gain a firm foothold.

But just like the Mohist development route, when you have gained a firm foothold and cannot control the grassland with all your strength, being a shit stick on the grassland is the best choice.

To be a shit-stirring stick, you need strength to support it.

After the Battle of Shangqiu, the Mo family, the Central Plains, had a say in the princes of the Central Plains.

But what is needed to be a messing stick in the Central Plains is the ability of the Mo family to defend the city.

What is needed to be a shit-stirring stick on the grassland is to show the Mo family's offensive and defensive ability in front of the Hu people.

If these six hundred people could tempt the Hu people to attack and then resist the mountain and cause huge damage to the Hu people, then a brigade in the Mo family would be able to rampant in the grassland in the future, and the tribe would not dare to provoke them or have any bad intentions.

On the contrary, if these 600 people were eliminated by the Hu people, the problem would be serious: if Gao Liu wants to go to the grassland, at least tens of thousands of people must prepare to move, and the logistical pressure, mobilization time, and the damage to farming are dozens of times that of a brigade.

If these Hu people surrounded and did not attack, and waited until the army came, they probably couldn't defeat and retreated, then the Hu people wouldn't be impressed, let alone know how big the gap between iron tools, gunpowder, cannons, bone arrows, and wooden bows was.

He was not only giving advice, but also teaching these young people to consider problems further and to teach these young people to have a greater understanding of war.

After returning from the journey west, he knew the tribes on the grassland best and the rules on the grassland best. He also accumulated experience in governing tribes on the grassland in the western countries, which was greatly beneficial to the development of the Mohist family in the Gaoliu area.

After he explained it clearly, everyone agreed and gathered ideas on how to make the Hu people think that these people are timid and timid, and can attack with one attack.

Twenty cavalrymen were selected to investigate the surroundings to ensure the safety of movements of the several miles. After the army retreated near the hill, they would rush all the horses to retreat first.

The fewer people, the faster they walk. If there are more horses, the Hu people behind them will not be able to catch up. If there are fewer horses, the consumption of food, water, and narrowing the scope of defense, and gathering more troops in the unit space.

When the army retreated towards the hill, it deliberately threw away some stirrups, iron pots, saddles, and a few swords, three or five spears, and looked like they were running away.

Before the sun set, hundreds of people had retreated to the hill.

The horses gathered together and drove them to retreat to Gaoliu first, not carrying women and children, because once they were carried away, they were slower and more dangerous.

There was no water on the hill, and no one asked to dig it. Instead, the foot of the mountain was filled with skin cans, etc. in advance, without horses, so it took enough ten days to save some.

At the hilltop, according to the Mohist custom of defending the city, the toilet was first dug.

The cars were connected together and crossed across the mountainside, and digging soil to accumulate camps, cutting down trees to make horses.

By noon the next day, hundreds of people had completed their basic defense.

The small cannons that can be placed on a carriage are concentrated in the direction that the Hu people are most likely to break through.

Two copper cannons that can fire three kilograms of iron balls are deployed and deployed at the best view on the mountain.

The people brought back by Solusan would use muskets, all of them were marshalled, and the infantry and knights who came to greet them were chaotic, organized four companies of musketeers, and each assigned guard positions.

The remaining people assigned spears, and those who are good at using swords or fighting will hold swords and shields to prevent the Hu people from rushing up and filling the gap.

In front of the team, wood, stones, and excavated soil were piled up. In several highest places, several warriors were also arranged to throw iron thunder.

Most women and children are behind, but the gentleman is holding some measuring tools next to the two cannons.

A function table in hand, a ruler for measuring angles, a set of copper ruler tools for simple measurement of distances, and a mind that can calculate numbers.

When several gunners saw this set of tools, they originally wanted her to retreat to the back, so they naturally held it in their stomachs and didn't say it.

The sanctioned prisoner Mi was in front of the formation, holding a musket, and was communicating with Solusan.

Solusan talked about the nomadic tactics he had witnessed. Most javelin cavalry are popular in the West, and most of them are cavalry and archers on the grasslands, but the only tactics that can be won for infantry with projecting weapons are similar.

It is nothing more than projecting after getting close, luring the infantry to pursue, thus opening up the infantry's front and creating an opportunity for two wings to encircle.

Once the infantry becomes loose, some infantry can't bear the projection and chase it out, or pursue it too underestimates the enemy, it will cause the infantry to fall into crisis.

However, if the infantry has muskets, the projection firepower is sufficient and the range is far superior to the cavalry bow; if the infantry phalanx has artillery but the nomadic tribes cannot bombard the infantry that form formations, then these nomadic tribes will not be able to break through the infantry's defense even if they rack their brains.

Field war requires the cooperation of cavalry, but if you stick to it, there is no need for cavalry. There is no danger of two wings being covered by guarding the mountain, and the hillside makes it impossible for the Hu people to spread too much force.

After roughly estimating the space, the number of people who can expand at one time is at most, which is a thousand people.

Even if there are more than 10,000 Hu people, on the front of the battlefield, the number of the two sides actually spread is similar.

Except for the Hu people's shooting players, the other Hu people's bows and arrows were not as good as muskets: if they were shot, the arrows of stones and bones were shot upwards, and they had basically no lethality.

The sanctioned prisoner Mi heard Soluchan tell some war stories from the far west, listened to some of Soluchan's own summary, recalled the things he learned in the school, and asked with a smile: "If you say this, the Hu people can't break through our defense at all?"

Soluchan smiled and said, "Yes, there is no chance. And even if they fight in the field, they have no chance. Can their bows shoot past the musketeers with spear formations? Can they defeat those cannons?"

"If you can't even shoot, why can you lure the infantry out of the pursuit of the formation and disrupt the formation? Besides, we are not in the field, so they have no chance."

The prisoner Mi asked again: "Then...what if they learn to use cannons and muskets one day in the future?"

Soluchan laughed even more: "They are not even equipped with stirrups now, so why do they use cannons and muskets? Besides, muskets must be made from the Mo family's military system. The Hu people do not have arable land, so can they use our military system? If they do not cultivate, they will never have such an opportunity."

"If you farm, you use muskets and cannons... Then you have more people than people. Do you think they can compare to the Central Plains? Besides, once you farm, there are cities that must be defended and places that must be defended. When it comes to siege, who in the world can defend our Mo family's siege?"

"We are well-versed in the Tianzhi and our technology can be continuously improved. When the Hu people replaced the bone arrows with bronze arrows, maybe we all have the kind of muskets that can be ignited by flint."

"The Hu people have no chance. From then on, the Hu people have no chance to go south to herd their horses."

…………

Several miles away from the hill, several Hu warriors grabbed a full set of saddle stirrups thrown on the ground and were very excited.

A complete set of saddle stirrups is both a precious wealth and a symbol of status and status in the tribe.

A few days ago, these people from the tribe ate mutton cooked in an iron pot. The delicious taste was far better than roasting. After the meal, they drank tea and milk according to the method sent from Gao Liu.

Nomads rarely eat meat unless they are noble leaders and other figures. Most of the time they rely on milk and eat some wild vegetables from the grassland.

Nomads cannot afford to eat meat every day, and the fat in milk and the taste of tea is indeed very suitable. In recent years, it has become a luxury for the leaders of the aristocratic grassland.

The iron pots exchanged made these people finally know the prosperity of the Central Plains and how much they could rob. They occasionally enjoyed the greed afterwards, which made them very supportive of the order of the tribe leader to return to intercept these people and then blackmail.

After chasing him, I felt that the tribe that withdrew from fear was really timid: when the southerners fled, they threw away many iron pots, saddles, stirrups, clothes, and even a few iron swords.

These tribes thought to themselves that timid tribe was really timid. What's the terrible thing about such people? They threw away their weapons and fled and guarded the hills, fearing that the warriors of the tribe would capture them all with one attack, and then exchange for more iron pot tea cloth or even iron swords.

Several warriors or The Legend of the Condor Heroes installed the sets of saddle stirrups they picked up and turned around in front of everyone, which attracted cheers and strengthened the confidence of these people to capture the hill.

The horn sounded, and thousands of people ran towards the hills several miles away. The brave and warlike archer held a bow and held a stone axe around his waist, preparing to rush up to grab an iron sword.

The Legend of the Condor He cheered up his spirits and took out a long arrow with feathers, with sharp black stone arrows in front of them, hoping to capture some bronze arrows.

The tribe members wearing animal skins were looking forward to rushing up and being able to take off a cotton dress...
