After a day and a half marching, the troops had slowed down slightly.

Because the Qi army was really unable to walk fast, if they gave up the baggage chariot and were defeated like a sheep, they might run faster.

But in that case, the Qi army would collapse if it didn't fight. The Mo family's scouts followed the Qi army. Once the Qi people gave up all the commander and escaped alone, the Yi Shi could also divide the troops to pursue.

At noon on the third day, the charity army had already caught up with the main force of the Qi army's Pingyin Legion, and could already see the retreating Qi army with a thousand-mile mirror on the hillside.

By two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Jun decisively chose to camp and did not continue to move forward.

It seems that the leader of the Qi army was worried that the camping time was not enough in the evening and the lack of preparations led to the Mo family's night attack. Finally, the Mo family's night attack in Shangqiu was famous.

Since the Qi people chose to camp, it was equivalent to choosing a decisive battle tomorrow. Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The only one who can rescue the Pingyin Legion may be the doctors from Ah, Gu and other places. Their main forces have gathered in the Pingyin Legion. The possibility of this kind of rescue is only theoretically and has no help at all.

The Wei and Han Allied Forces may have learned about the Mo family's updates in the past few days, but it is useless for them to send troops now. By the time they climbed here, the battle would definitely be over.

At this moment, the vast Qi Kingdom had nowhere to rescue the power of the Pingyin Legion within five days, and this time difference was finally captured by the Mo family.

He ordered to continue moving forward and camped about five miles away from the Qi army, and fought to a decisive battle tomorrow morning.

The soldiers in the marching shouted excitedly, "They are really not afraid of war." The marching is too hard, and now they can finally fight, so how can they not be excited?"

After camping at night, the bonfire was lit and the scouts sent out, and the rest were resting.

There is no need to be afraid of the Qi people attacking at night. Even the Yishi Army can deal with it, let alone be afraid of the Qi people escaping at night. They do not have this ability.

Escape at night will become a retreat rather than a retreat.

In the military tent, the officers were all excited, and they also swept away their previous nervous mood and said, "Tomorrow's decisive battle, the worst thing is that the people of the whole country choose the cat by the river, and they don't attack or leave. Let us be surrounded by thousands of people, and it will last until dark for a day."

"However, time stands with us, there should be no reinforcement within five days. But we cannot fight for five days. We must win quickly tomorrow. Annihilation of Pingyin Legion earlier, we can conquer Pingyin earlier, and there will be more time to renovate. We can wait for the Linzi Legion to work."

He walked outside the tent and looked at the moon at night. There was no halo. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Tomorrow should be a sunny day.

So he called the messenger and said, "Tell the three brigades and heavy copper artillery troops near Chengyang that if you receive the order, regardless of the others, immediately go down the Ji River. The faster the better."

Liuzhi smiled and said, "If you say you have caught up with the Qi army, you will be half of it. If you catch up with it today, you can think that we have won. Those three brigades and heavy copper cannons can go down the river."

Shi nodded and said, "That's right. What we need to consider is to attack Pingyin! Okay, let's discuss tomorrow's matchup..."

…………

A few miles away, the Qi army camp.

Tension spread throughout the camp. Although the inspectors tried their best to control the emotions of the soldiers, the results were not good.

Now the main force of the Mo family is several miles away and has a reputation for night attacks. So he issued a great order: Anyone who makes noise in the camp will be killed immediately.

At this time, what I fear most is Ying Xiao. Even if the Mo family did not attack at night, they might even slept alone and shouted a few dreams, which could cause a series of chain reactions.

In the big tent, Doctor Pingyin looked solemn, and the officers and nobles of Qi around him were silent.

During the past two days of marching, the Qi army had done its best, but was still caught up by the righteous army.

The 60,000 army faced 40,000 righteous troops, were panicked from top to bottom, and the battle was already half defeated.

Before this, where did you fight like this?

He ran for hundreds of miles, regardless of the city behind him, and directly into the hinterland of Qi, regardless of the gains and losses of Si, and the ownership of Wucheng, just like the Yin doctor Shiheping had a personal grudge, and he ran to chase him from Chengyang.

Doctor Pingyin sighed and said, "Now it seems that there is nothing we can do. The Mo family Yi Master stared at us from the beginning."

"We are destroyed, how can Pingyin defend? If Pingyin is not defended, what dangers can Linzi be used to rely on? Even if Gongzi Wu and Tian Qing arrive in Wucheng, what's the use? Let Linzi not defend?"

When he decided to withdraw his troops a few days ago, he first wrote a letter to the Linzi Army, telling him why he withdrew.

Today, when the Mohist charity master was sure to catch up, he threw his fingers and hoped that the Linzi Legion would return quickly.

However, it was originally a parallelogram, but now the Linzi Legion may have arrived in Wucheng and was trapped in Jishui. This became the diagonal line of this parallelogram. Even if you don’t follow the same path, it will take more than ten days to come.

It is even more meaningless to send letters to other cities and towns for help. Those cities are difficult to protect themselves, so how dare they send troops to rescue them?

However, the wording is stern, and perhaps there may be some officials from several cities and towns to send troops. If the Wei and Han coalition forces can also send troops to rescue them, there is still some hope.

Doctor Pingyin was silent for a long time before saying, "I have no chance of winning against Dazhishi. The only possibility of winning is drag."

"There is enough marching lightly and stay away from Si Shang, so there is insufficient supply. He can last for three or five days at most. And doctors from Wei Han, A, Gu and other places may be able to rescue them in five days."

"As long as we can defend for five days, even if the situation does not reverse, we still have the power to fight."

"But, how should I guard it?"

This is a problem.

He did not consider those intrigues, nor did he consider the possibility that Wei Han would not send troops in order to preserve his strength, even if he did not consider all this... For five days, who could persist in five days under the fierce attack of the main force of the Mo family?

A strategist said: "I like to see the use of military forces in the wings. The two wings are the key to the decisive battle tomorrow."

"In the battle of Hanshui, King Yi of Yue was defeated, which led to chaos in the entire army. At that time, the Mo family was not yet known, so they were defeated."

"Now, we have 60,000 troops, so we can prepare more troops on both wings. We will fight tomorrow, not attack or advance, but just defend our sternly. We will win until dark until it is dark."

"On the first day, the Mo family was unable to win, and our army was determined to win and no longer feared. This is the second. If you can stay until dark tomorrow, and attack the camp with elite soldiers at night, the Mo family will be powerless in the future..."

As soon as he said this, Doctor Pingyin snorted and said, "Night attack? How can the Mo family win in the battle of Shangqiu? The Mo family is best at night attacks, how can they not guard against it?"

"However... the saying that the left and right armies strengthened is desirable."

Being prepared for flanks is already the consensus between the Qi army and the main forces of the Mo family.

Another adviser said: "Now the Mo family has stirrup riders, and it is really hard to defeat the two wings. The main force is placed in the left and right armies. If the Mo family attacks but fails, the formation may change. It only takes time to change the formation. If the Mo family finds that our two wings are arranged to break through, it takes another two hours to change the formation, and it will pass in one day."

After the strategist said this, another man said: "Now the Mohist school has printed what the military has learned into a book and spread it to the world. I am fortunate to see you."

"In the past, Sun Wuzi once said: Those who enter a person with deep land and many cities and towns are important places. Those who fight quickly will survive; those who do not fight quickly will die will die."

"There are many Qi and Wei cities behind the Mo family, which penetrate deep into our hinterland, and are the important places."

"And now we have no way to retreat, we cannot survive without a quick battle, it is for death."

"He also said: I will continue to eat the land of greatness; I will show it to be unrealized by the dead land."

"The Mohist family went deep into the city and towns, but did not store supplies, food and fodder, which was the possibility of us winning."

"Our army is in death, and we must not win if we show it to death."

"So: if you throw yourself into the land of destruction, you will survive; if you fall into the land of death, you will be born. If you fall into the land of harm, you will be able to win or lose."

When talking about what Sun Wuzi said, "If you fall into death, you will live, and if you fall into harm, you will be able to win or lose", Doctor Pingyin's eyes lit up, as if he saw the dawn, he signaled the man to continue talking.

Doctors should use it here for men to raise scholars.

The adviser said, "Now we are in a dead state, we cannot retreat, and we cannot help. In this case, we can only put the soldiers in a dangerous situation, and make them fight to the death, and perhaps there is a possibility of victory."

"If not, the three armies of the public will change their formations in a field battle, can they defeat Dazhishi?"

It was impossible to beat it. In the eyes of Dr. Pingyin, there was nothing embarrassing about it. He said calmly: "I can't."

The strategist said again: "If we command the battle and change the formation quickly, will our army be able to match the Mohist charity army?"

Doctor Pingyin shook his head again and said, "I can't."

The strategist asked three times: "Can you do it before you can observe keenly, seize the opportunity, and break the surface with a point and reverse the defeat?"

Doctor Pingyin shook his head three times, and the adviser finally said, "So, just strengthen the two wings to defend to the death, and cannot hold on for five days."

"Zhizhishi led the main force of the Mo family to the important areas. If the food and fodder were not enough, they needed a quick decisive battle and would inevitably take the initiative to attack."

"We are in a dead place, and we have no chance of winning against each other, so we can only die and live."

He walked closer and said, "It's better to... line up the river."

The four words of arraying behind the river shocked the four seats. This is a method of arraying that goes against common sense.

Another adviser said: "If you fail, there is a river behind you. Where will you escape?"

The suggestionist laughed and said, "I won't line up the river. Once I'm defeated, this place will be dozens of miles away from the big city! Can I escape the pursuit of the Mo family? All the elite Mo family cavalry will chase with all their strength. Who can run away?"

"We are already dead. Do we still have to consider defeat in the war? We can only fall into death so that the soldiers will no longer have the will to retreat. If we stick to this place, there will be a glimmer of hope."

"The Mo family entered the important land and they had to attack fiercely. The soldiers were behind the river and had no choice but to retreat. Once they were dispersed, they would have to be drowned, and they would inevitably fight to the death."

"Also, the entire army was concentrated, making it impossible for the Mohist family to surround the rear and make it difficult for the flanks to raid. Even if they are raided, they can continue to organize defenses."

"The most important thing is that the general is not as good as a good person when it comes to the battle. If you are lined up by the river, you can do not need to change the formation, just defend the dead."

"If you don't win for one day, the Mo family will be anxious. If you don't win for three days, the Mo family may choose to retreat. If you don't win for five days, the Mo family will have to retreat even if you don't retreat!"

"We can no longer consider how to defeat the Mohist charity master in the field, but we just need to consider defending ourselves."

"The Mo family is only ten miles away from us. If we cross the river... it would be a repeat of the back of Xun Linfu, the place where two Tangtangs were! "

"It is better to burn wood or carriage without making any plans to cross the river and let all the soldiers see it. Anyway, as long as we defend the chariots are useless, and we do not go down the chariots and fight in infantry, and all the chariots are burned to show that the commander, general and sergeant will fight to the death and inspire morale."
