This decisive attack by the Qi army was fruitless except for leaving some sword marks on the brigade bronze cannons at the forefront of the Yishi Division.

After being repelled, it was already a storm.

The sun goes through the middle heaven, and it will be called the sun, which is between 1:00 and 3:00 in the afternoon of the next generation. This is the time to eat on weekdays.

As the saying goes, when the food comes to the end of the day, it is wheat; when the food comes to the end of the day, it is millet.

There are not so many things in the army. When the Yishi went on a war, he marched rapidly from Onozawa to put aside the logistics and had been eating fried noodles or fried rice. He could boil water to drink some rationed Haiyang tea at night, and each soldier would also give him a small pinch of sugar.

There is really no such precedent for eating in front of the formation, at least to Qi Jun’s opinion.

In the past, when wars were fought, they would have eaten early. When the war was finished, when they were finished. In addition to siege, the general field battle could only determine the outcome within one hour. Sometimes it was the time for a chariot to hit.

Moreover, there is no special department head in the army of the vassal states, such as cooking, and eating during confrontation is delusional, and it is easy to disrupt the formation.

When Liu Finger saw the Qi army on the opposite side retreating, he discussed with the representative of the Mozhe in the division: "I think I can't fight for the time being. Should I let the latter boil some water and send it over to the army and prepare to let the troops eat some fried rice. We will continue to confront each other in the afternoon."

The division representative looked at the troops that had marched ten miles on the front and had been confronting Qi people for a long time, and felt very distressed.

But he looked up at the sun again and frowned and said, "Shishuai means not waiting for the heavy artillery from Chengyang, and he will be able to win time to eliminate the Pingyin Legion of Qi as soon as possible."

"Since our master is doing a feint attack, we want to create opportunities for his side... Now it is already sunny, and at most two hours, the sky will be dark. If there is an order from Shi Shuai, we should not be prepared enough."

Liuzhi smiled and said, "You still don't understand the meaning of Shi Shuai. He asked the troops to spread out and use the cannons in dispersed... Do you know that he likes to use the cannons together. Now it is scattered, why is this for? That is to make the people of Qi mistakenly think that we should slowly oppress and compress their frontiers until they win. If you are the commander of the Qi army, this attempt to seize artillery failed, our artillery will blast, and the frontier camps and military formations will be in chaos, and the infantry will rush again, what can you do?"

The division representative said: "Of course, we need to divide the troops, deploy the subsequent troops, be ready to support at any time, or invest in some areas where the defense line is unstable. Didn't Shishuai say that, they looked at each other heads and tails, so they would be heads everywhere, and they would not lose any place."

Liuzhi laughed and said, "The key is this. Shishuai's main attacker. He has not moved and left the initiative to launch a feint attack to our division. Now, the entire line has not yet begun to approach the artillery bombardment, and the mobilization of Qi people has not yet been launched."

"It takes half an hour to unfold and mobilize the entire line."

"When they unfold, we will start to attack the hillside. What would the commander of the Qi army think?"

The division representative had already understood and had a sudden realization, saying, "The commander of the Qi army would be in a panic at that time. If the hillside is lost, the right wing of the Qi people will collapse. Due to our artillery, they will not be able to line up within 300 steps below the hillside. By then, the right wing has been lost and retreating by 300 steps, and their space will be even smaller and it will be difficult to maintain the formation of tens of thousands of people. Once we find that our division attacks the hillside, he will definitely think that he is trapped and will be mobilized again."

Liujie nodded and said, "Yes, once they are mobilized, it will take another half an hour. During this period, we will have to face our repeated fighting against the flat ground under the hillside."

"Only by attracting the Qi army's gaze to this hillside, Shi Shuai can use the smallest casualties to break through the Qi army's defense line. The First Division and the cavalry are there, and the remaining cannons of the legion are there. As long as the Qi army is mobilized, there will be some chaos, and then it will be the time for him to attack."

"It takes more than an hour to get back and forth to get back to the transfer of Qi people. Even if we start preparing, it will take at least half an hour."

"When the opportunity appears, it will be dark soon. There is not much time left for Shi Shuai. The night battle is too chaotic, so we have the advantage. There is no need to fight at night to win like in Shangqiu City back then."

"So, I think this afternoon, I'll let Qi people make sure that we're going to steadily build a little bit to compress their front."

"If you really win, you have to wait until tomorrow. In the evening, the cavalry and infantry on Shishuai's side can also slowly approach from behind the forest and not be discovered by Qi people."

Speaking of this, Liuzhi smiled and said, "You wait. Shishuai will soon order us to have dinner first. I think we will prepare first. It is absolutely true. If time allows, the soldiers can take turns to rest on the spot."

"I'm staring here, you go and take a look. In the evening, you are busy, so you may have to sing a few songs "Qi Feng" and shout whether there are any Qi soldiers who were captured in the battle of aid in the most aid battle that year."

As soon as the words were finished, the messenger who came from behind came to orders to eat in sequence. The division representative smiled at Liuzhi, and his nervous mood also became relaxed with the messenger's words of eating in sequence. He said, "Okay, I'll go and take a look."

Liu Finger waved at him and continued to watch on the hillside with a thousand-mile mirror.

Soon, fireworks rose from behind, and the boiling water was sent to the company in front, with some tea leaves and some salt added.

The musketeers were in half, and the rows behind them sat down and drank water. They took out some fried rice from the dry food bag on their bodies, and replenished their energy with salty tea.

The spearmen also stood in front rows, and the back rows sat on the ground with the orders, had a meal and rest, and were allowed to chat.

The gunners are more leisurely, unless they need to use rapid fire commands that can blow up the chamber and reduce the service life of the copper cannon, as long as they shoot normally, they have a lot of free time and can eat and drink at any time.

The Qi army probably had never seen such a scene. The two armies were only two or three hundred steps apart, but did not attack, but stared at each other.

From the morning stand until now, Qi Jun must have been hungry, but they can't eat now. They can only wait until night comes before more than a dozen people can gather by the bonfire and their friends cook some food together.

And every other time, several iron balls flew out from the bronze cannon in front of the Yishi Army and smashed towards the Qi army guarding the array. They were bleeding and the general formation made a gap.

The army that can withstand such shelling and casualties of partners must be elite, but the Qi army obviously does not have such qualities. After seven or eight rounds of bombardment, the frontier of the Qi army was somewhat loose and its morale had plummeted.

Liu Finger looked at the sun, estimated the time, and finally waited for the order: launch a tentative attack on the whole line, and the time was set to be about a quarter of an hour.

The officer around him took out the sundial and determined the time to launch the attack. Six fingers hurriedly ordered: line up in front, follow-up preparations, and the artillery prepared for a round of rapid fire.

After ordering, the sound of trumpets and drums kept playing, which not only made the righteous master excited, but also made the Qi people angry.

Instead of enduring artillery attacks that cannot fight back, it is better to catch each other and fight each other, at least know how you died.

In fact, it is rare for the Qi people to withstand such a long shelling without urging the order to launch an impact.

It is also possible that the Mo family hid the full strength of the artillery, and it has not been used in a concentrated manner today. It was just scattered to various brigades and divisions to open fire at will, and did not cause the Qi people to collapse if they could not withstand the artillery bombardment.

As the order was passed to the front line and the entire team was preparing, Liuzhi talked to the people from the engineers and said, "The position you mentioned before will be there to hurry up and build and excavate when the battle was in front. It will be completed before dark. It is so chaotic that it is difficult for the Qi people to notice. Even if they notice it, they don't know what they are going to do."

The people from the engineers said they were ready long ago and they would be able to take their place immediately as long as they fought in front.

Liuzhi smiled and said, "I am not as good as you digging a hole. I have specialized in my skills. You can calculate the time yourself. Don't go too early and be noticed by the people of Qi; but don't go too late, so that it's dark and not finished."

…………

On the front line, the soldiers of the charity army who had been resting for a long time were ready, moving their hands and feet, and the whole team was in line.

The brigade coach of the 13th Brigade knew that his attack might be the most troublesome. Now the Qi people's artillery has basically been destroyed, leaving only the nine gates on the hillside. If he attacks by himself, those artillery can hit him.

However, he was very confident in his brigade and understood his position in the division, so that he could allow them to attack this place because they were elites in the division.

The brigade bronze cannons that had been deployed were rapidly bombarding the Qi army's army formation. After hearing the order of attack, the brigade commander asked the flute drummer to beat the drum and play the flute.

More than a thousand people lined up in front of the company, stepped on the drums, and with the support of their own artillery fire, they aimed at the Qi army's army and launched an attack.

The Qi people on the opposite side also lined up the crossbowmen, archers and musketeers to fight, but artillery shells kept flying in, tearing a gap into the military formation just arranged.

When the 13th Brigade advanced to a hundred steps away from the Qi army, the Qi army's artillery also began to fire on the hillside. Several shells flew to the crowd and killed several people.

But the person next to him paused for a moment and immediately filled up his original position. He looked forward and listened to the drum beats of the flute drummer beside him. He moved forward slowly and firmly as usual, and did not launch an impact at such a long distance because he wanted to escape those cannons.

As soon as he entered a hundred steps away, the crossbows of the people on the opposite side had already begun to shoot in a scattered manner.

The spearmen were all wearing iron armor in front rows, and such a long distance would not cause much damage.
