Chapter 131 Two Falsehoods and One Reality

If you can make a feint attack the main attack, that is the ability of the six fingers.

But since he was asked to do a feint strategically, the entire legion could not be used to cooperate with the actions of the Liu Finger Division.

The left wing and the central army did not choose as the main breakthrough direction. He focused all the remaining artillery, the uprising and the First Division on the right wing of the Qi army, and wanted to open the situation from the south.

After all matters were allocated, the remaining troops began to unfold. The First Division marched south after the front, raised troops and hid behind the woods by the river, waiting for the opportunity.

On the left wing of the Qi army, in order to make a good look, several companies of infantry and knights rode horses on the left wing of the Qi army and the central army, and behind the horses were dragging branches and raising dust.

The various infantry brigades of the Yi Division began to advance slowly. When they approached the first battalion of the Qi army, they stopped the entire team and deployed light bronze cannons in front of the various brigades before they set off, and began to fight against the few bronze cannons in Qi State.

The Qi army had the left wing and the Yi army's right wing, with six fingers on a slope, observing the movements on the Qi army.

In the Battle of Hanshui, he was a brigade-level officer and could not control the entire flank.

In today's battle, this is the first time he participated in this decisive battle as a commander on the flank. With his outstanding performance in the two battles of Hanshui and Aid, he was also a hit. Everyone was convinced, and as the commander on the flank, he was also convinced.

There is not much noise on the southern line now. Like elsewhere, it is also artillery bombing. With the advantages of the Mohist school's education, the quality and quantity of artillery are far better than that of the Qipingyin Legion. This slowness has an advantage over the Mohist school.

Now the Qi army cannot judge the main attack direction of the Mo family. It seems that the Mo family is fully deployed, but the Qi army should also understand that this is just maintaining the front line.

An offensive battle cannot achieve a full-line assault model. It can only rely on most of the troops to maintain the front, choose the main assault direction, and make breakthroughs in one fell swoop.

Now a brigade under Liuzhi's command has advanced to about four hundred steps below the hillside, and about one hundred steps below the hillside is the first camp of the Qi army.

The Qi army arranged about two brigades on the front of the hillside. The brigades in Qi State were slightly larger than those in the Mohist family and larger than those in the Zhou Dynasty, with a population of about two thousand.

There are nine bronze cannons on the hillside, which can be bombarded under the hillside. There is a brigade of the Qi army on the hillside where they are ready.

Under the hillside, the Qi army had only four cannons, sandwiched between two brigades.

The Qi army had almost no cavalry, and many chariots were piled up as materials for camps before the military formation.

There are other brigades connected on both sides of the two Qi army brigades under the hillside. Liujie is not worried about the support next to him. As long as the brigades of their own sides launch an offensive, the defensive forces on both sides of the Qi army will be overwhelmed.

It's still early, so there's no hurry to win.

Shi must have to wait for him to move, which attracted the attention of the head coach of the Qi army, thinking that this direction is the main attack before the attack will be launched.

As for when he could be mobilized, Shi did not give him a clear time to let him play freely.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and I can only say a general plan to let the six fingers cooperate well. If it really depends entirely on the messenger to convey messages and command, then the opportunity on the battlefield will be difficult to seize.

He gathered twelve bronze cannons here, and in addition, the division and brigade level is equipped with three small bronze cannons per brigade, and there are a total of twenty-seven guns here.

There are nine gates on the mountain of Qi and four gates at the foot of the mountain. Moreover, the cannons on the mountain can only support a hundred steps in front of the camp, and it cannot prevent the Mohist artillery from gathering together to bombard the four cannons deployed by the Qi army in front of the formation.

Six fingers calculated that the main force of the first division was concentrated on the southern line and prepared to expand, which would take at least half an hour. If he was not sure to turn his direction into the main attack and attack the hillside in one fell swoop, then he had to wait until the first division of the southern line was launched before he could launch an attack on the hillside, so that he could create opportunities for him on the southern line.

The Qi army used musketeers and crossbowmen as original archers to suppress the formation. This is different from the righteous army after the reform after the Battle of Hanshui. The spearmen in the Yishi Division are now auxiliary, while the musketeers are the main output.

If it is a field battle, the Qi army has no advantage, but the Qi army chooses to defend the enemy. It is okay to use the few musketeers and the remaining crossbowmen to suppress the formation.

Liu Finger observed the location of the Qi army on the hillside for a long time and the possible support routes of the Qi army. After roughly judging, he called the artillery commander here.

The commander of the artillery was a young man, less than thirty years old, and he was a leader after receiving some education such as geometric and nine numbers. He was also a new generation that the Mohist family grew up after gaining a foothold in Sishang.

Six fingers stared at the nine artillery guns of Qi army on the hillside and asked, "You knock them off, or force them to move, the infantry will cooperate with you with all their strength. Where is the best position you chose?"

The young artillery commander pointed to a slightly flat place in the front and said, "That is the best position. If there, you can force the Qi army's bronze cannon to move to the right. If it is to the left, it is still within our range. If it is to move to the right, it will be difficult for them to hit the front. Our infantry can advance from the left and will not be bombarded by the Qi army's bronze cannon."

Liu Fingers looked in the direction he pointed. The position was indeed very good. It was slightly right relative to the direction the Yi Shi wanted to attack, but to the left for Qi Jun.

On the right side of the Qi army is a square formation of the Qi army. If the artillery wants to continue bombarding the hillside after the artillery is transferred, the position of the square formation needs to be moved.

The Qi army has a heavy formation, and once it moves, problems may arise. Once the Qi artillery is bombarded, it dares not deploy too far. If the Qi brigade does not move, it will hinder the deployment of artillery.

However, the position given by the artillery commander was actually very close to the front line camp of the Qi army, which means that the infantry would attack from the nine artillery artillery on the mountain and attack from the left to restrain the Qi army from the deployment of the artillery.

Nowadays, all countries have begun to have strange and various bronze cannons. The Yishi has never been bombarded by other guns before in wars. After all, they can only bombard others before.

Although they have been rigorous in training all year round and advocate discipline, the infantry will definitely be under tremendous pressure when facing the bombardment of artillery for the first time.

After thinking for a while, Liu Finger placed the 13th Brigade, the most elite in his division, in the direction of the first wave of attacks to gain time for the artillery to deploy.

The 13th Brigade is the absolute main force in the division, and all assessments have always been the best.

Liuzhi also knew that taking down the camp in front of the hillside only opened the path to capture the hillside, not the time to decide the outcome.

But as long as the artillery can be bought for time and allowed them to launch artillery to suppress the Qi army, then the subsequent infantry will not be bombarded by Qi army artillery, and those brigades that are not the most elite can also achieve good enough results when they first go to the battlefield.

After the transfer is completed, the six fingers gather twelve bronze cannons with long range and are not assigned to the brigade and are on standby at any time.

Engineers followed closely behind. Once the artillery began to deploy, they needed to build the artillery positions with shovels and pickaxes to prepare for the repeated struggles under the hillside.

The remaining artillery was divided into two groups, all assigned to the front line, and concentrated to fight against the four bronze artillery deployed in front of the first battalion of the Qi army.

The infantry had already started to complete the squad and waited quietly after the artillery.

The four artillery guns in front of the Qi army camp have begun to bombard, and the distance is still far away. After bounced a few times on the dry ground, a few iron balls flew into the array of the 13th Brigade.

A soldier who was on the battlefield for the first time was somewhat unlucky. His left foot was smashed directly by the hot iron balls and he fell to the ground and howled.

Blood was everywhere, and the people in the company immediately carried the soldier out as they were usually trained, with doctors behind him to help him.

The people around him seemed to have not seen the splashed blood, and silently repaired the soldier's position.

In front of the formation, the eight bronze cannons that traveled with the division had also been deployed, forming an angle with the seven gates on the side.

The young artillerymen held the push rods, wiped the vinegar velvet from the inner chamber, and the angled protractor was loaded in an orderly manner in front of the shiny copper cannon.

After the observer confirmed that each cannon had been adjusted, he issued an order to fire the cannon.

The distance of more than 200 steps is already the limit for these copper cannons with very small caliber. Basically, whether they can hit the target depends on luck.

But in addition to luck, you can also rely on calculations and experience to make the goal hit a higher chance of hitting it.

With a few bangs, fifteen cannons fired at the same time. The landing point of the iron ball was very close to the Qi army's artillery, but only one hit the frame of the Qi army's bronze cannon.

The artillery soldiers on the opposite side became nervous. They originally wanted to bombard the infantry, but in the face of the bombardment of the Mo family artillery, they could only turn the guns and want to bombard them.

However, it was still much slower after all. The remaining three cannons were fired once. The shells were far away from the artillery of the Yishi Division. The Qi people had no time to adjust the angle. Moreover, they did not have the support of various advanced mathematical calculations, but rely on experience.

They wanted to run, but they couldn't. If they ran away, the infantry in front of the camp would immediately bear the intensive bombardment of the cannons of the charity division.

But after a few rounds of fighting, Qi State had only one of the four cannons left in front of the camp. Perhaps he finally received the order, and the artillery gave up the cannon and retreated.

Six fingers observed the previous counterattack from behind. The sound of cannons coming from afar was that other divisions were also fighting against the Qi people. Now the sound of cannons is no longer symmetrical. It seems that the Qi army artillery at the forefront of the entire line can no longer hold on.

Now the twelve gates with slightly larger caliber copper cannons are ready on the frame, and the engineers are also communicating with the artillery commander how to build a position, and the front-line bombing has also ended.

Liu Finger was not busy. He was sure that the commander of Qi army must not understand what the righteous master wanted to do now.

In theory, if you want to open the gap, you should concentrate the cannon and blast it violently.

Now the small cannons assigned to each brigade of the Yishi Division are assigned to the positions and are directly under the command of each division, and are dispersed and bombarded, but they are only attacking the artillery of Qi first.

Liufing thought, in the eyes of the commander of Qi, the charity army was preparing to slowly recommend and compress slowly on the entire line, take advantage of the artillery advantages, and advance little by little.

This should be what the Qi people's coach likes, because this kind of advancement is very slow, and it can continuously gather the defeated soldiers in front, replace the soldiers behind, and constantly fight in front of the first camp to add fuel to the confrontation.

The advantage of this is that the loss of the righteous division will be much smaller: artillery advances, bombards the Qi army camps and phalanxes, infantry and other artillery bombards for an hour, and then slowly advances, rushing the Qi army that opened the gap backwards.

This deception is precisely the reason why the small cannons at the brigade level were not concentrated after ordering the two divisions to unfold.

In this case, the Qi people felt that although the righteous army must win this battle, the loss of victory must be small, and we cannot fight to the death here: because the Linzi Legion is still there, that is the main force of the Qi army. If the loss here is too great, even if we win this battle, it will be strategically defeated.

Therefore, the Qi people would believe that the Mohist school should adopt this method with the least risk, the least loss, but the slowest speed, to maximize the advantages of the Mohist artillery, and to push some distance forward every day to continuously squeeze the Qi people's defense range.

Once the squeeze reaches a certain level and the mobilization is difficult to unfold, the Qi people will be defeated.

However, Liuzhi understood that this was just a deception. Behind this deception, the next fierce attack on his side was actually a deception.

He was still waiting, and was still waiting for the line elsewhere to start to move forward slowly, making the Qi people's commander mistakenly think that the Mo family must win by slow advancement, and began to mobilize subsequent troops to be dispersed to various parts of the defense line for convenience of support, and he would act.

The full line is empty. I waited until the Qi people thought that the Yishi wanted to start mobilizing the full line, and attacked the hillside or the real thing. The real thing was in the southern line where I was located.
