Chapter 141 The Battle of Nanji Water (2)
The trumpeter immediately bulged his cheeks and played the predetermined military trumpet.
The artillery soldiers who had been silent for two days quickly urged the horses to gallop towards the position that the engineers had already arranged yesterday.
The two brigades behind the 13th Brigade also quickly reorganized their troops. The musketeers gathered in one place, and the spearmen stepped forward in unison.
Frontier, the psychological offensive last night, the attacks during the day were repeated, and today's artillery concentrated and the attacks of the 13th Brigade without leaving any backup, almost broke through the Qi army's camp after a moment of fighting.
Yesterday's attempt was to judge the time it could support the Qi army's front line, and Liufing also estimated the timing of the Qi army's defeat through yesterday's attack.
The Qi people opposite today are not the same as yesterday's brigade, but the configuration should still be the same. Yesterday's attack did not expose the offensive here, so Qi people could not deploy the elite troops here in advance.
If the hills are not lost, doctor Pingyin cannot use elites to serve as the first line of defense and repeatedly compete for the Mohist school.
The Qi people in front of the camp began to be defeated. The 13th Brigade did not pursue, but immediately formed a team with drums and headed towards the hills.
The two brigades behind also followed at this time, looking at the cannons of Qi on the hill with six fingers anxiously.
In the eyepiece, white smoke flashed, and several shells flew into the formation of the 13th Brigade, killing several soldiers.
Liu Fingers, who had been nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Qi people chose to use the cannons to suppress the attack on the hills of the 13th Brigade. It seemed that this attack made the Qi people anxious.
…………
Opposite the front.
On the hill, the chief general of the Qi army's Right Army looked gloomy.
The attack of the Mo family on the opposite side was something wrong from the beginning of the morning.
The artillery that supported both wings yesterday also bombarded the military formations on the open space directly under the hill today.
After the battle, you can clearly see several companies of charity soldiers sweeping over from both wings and joining the battle under the hill.
Under the blast, the camps under the hills could no longer be defended, and the brigade had collapsed and fled backwards.
Although there are many crossbowmen on the hillside, the Mo family brigade below is as fast as a leopard and as fierce as a tiger. After breaking through the camp, it did not pursue it, but instead formed a team directly at the camp.
Several companies that were originally just supporting joined the brigade's team under the nose of Qiren.
This is already quite incredible. In the eyes of the commander of the right army of Qi, each company and brigade, and in the city, the geographical area of the city, you have to be familiar with it on weekdays before you can fight together.
But the Yishi Division can actually achieve the rapid integration of several companies into the entire brigade, without any confusion. Even if there are defeated soldiers in front, they can quickly complete the integration.
The commander of the right army of Qi army was already panicked.
The semicircular array is arranged with the back water, and there are key points everywhere. This hill is naturally key, but if it is in your own hands, it will be equivalent to adding several guarding power to several brigades.
The hills are not lost, and the Mohist family on the front and on both sides of the hills are unstable.
However, the flat ground below the hill is also very important. If the Mohist family maintains it below and attacks the hills shorter, and those hateful bronze cannons can also support it, it will be dangerous.
The key point of the hill is not on the hill, but on the hill. The hills only provide a space to hoard troops, unfold troops, and go down the hill to impact.
Yesterday, the Mo family attacked fiercely. The doctor Pingyin ordered the preparations to be divided into three sides of the left, middle and right sides, and they had to retreat and behead them to fight against the Mo family until dark, even if they had survived another day.
If you can't hold on, you will immediately make up for the prepared brigade to stabilize the front.
However, in this way, the reserve force on the right wing of the Qi army is not sufficient. The commander of the Qi army's right army did not expect that the Yi army suddenly changed its offensive today, concentrated artillery to bombard the formation, and directly overwhelmed the first camp.
I am afraid that even fools can see the current situation: the Mo family's attack yesterday was to let the Qi people scatter all parts of the left, center and right. Today is the real purpose, attacking the hills fiercely.
Especially the twelve artillery that appeared at the foot of the mountain that was moving towards the hills, which made the leader of the right army of Qi even more convinced that the Mo family was going to attack the hills this time.
Seeing the camp being broken and the brigade of the Yi army was squaring down the hill, the commander of the Qi army's right army ordered the bronze cannons on the mountain to aim at the Yi army at the camp and bombarded with a sluggish offensive.
Originally, these nine cannons were aimed at the 13th Brigade. During the melee, the cannons could not be fired. When the defenders at the Qi army camp retreated, the cannons did not need to be turned around and could directly bombard the charity division at the foot of the mountain.
The crossbowmen and musketeers all lined up in front of the formation to prepare. The commander of the right army of Qi sighed and said to himself: "When the Yi army attacks, the guns and cannons will be fired to kill and injure them. As long as they can drive them down, they will also regain the first camp. Otherwise, the Mo family's cannons will be deployed at the first camp and attack left and right, and the entire line will be retreated."
The first camp under the hill is in the hands of the Mo family, and the hill is in the hands of the Qi army. The Mo family dared not launch an offensive to surround the left and right to attack the flanks, so that the right wing of the Qi army would give up the first camp completely, because the Qi army on the hill may launch a counterattack. Once the division line is weak, it is likely that the encirclement will not be encircled instead.
But if the Mohist school did not attack the two wings, but stabilized its position and used the captured camp as the front line for capturing the hills, the Qi army would face great pressure.
The two wings do not attack, but the two wings dare not retreat and cannot defend. Stable the front, dig camps, and steadily step by step. When the artillery is deployed well, it will be much easier to capture the hills, and the Mohist reserve troops can be continuously transferred here to strengthen the offensive.
The commander of the right army of Qi army understood the key to the open space under the hills and had to be recaptured no matter what.
Now the Mo family's charity division at the first camp at the foot of the mountain is in full swing, and thousands of people are approaching. However, the leader of the Qi Right Army is sure that the Mo family will not choose to combine the troops at one time and then attack: in that case, it is not easy to unfold the front, and once it cannot be captured, it may lead to a defeat and can only attack in waves.
The key to all this lies in this upcoming attack.
If the fire can be stabilized by crossbows and firearms and the nine cannons, the infantry formed a formation to counterattack, and took back the camp while the Mo family's support had not arrived at the foot of the mountain, then the situation of repeated fighting and fighting with the Mo family at the camp was achieved.
In that case, because the front width of the battlefield is not enough and there are cannons on the hills on both wings, the Mohist family can only send two or three brigades to attack each time. In this way, even if the Qi army suffers more casualties, it is easy to hold on until dark if it continues to rotate and add fuel.
If the array changes, it takes time and cannot be completed in a hurry. Since the Mohist school’s deployment has been unfolded, if it changes again, time can be delayed for several hours, and it will be dark after enduring.
But if we want to fight like this, the commander of the right army of Qi army understands that the troops in his hands are probably not enough. When the counterattack is coming, all the soldiers on the hills must be used, but the hills must continue to gather troops to deal with the Mo family's counterattack, which requires more troops.
He hurriedly asked someone to ask Doctor Pingyin to explain the situation, hoping to deploy more troops on the right wing.
Now it seems that the Mohist family's attack on the entire line is empty, and the main attack on the right wing is real. If it delays further, the hill will be thrown away, and the right wing will collapse.
Once the right wing collapses, all three armies are in danger.
The commander of the Right Army of Qi urgently ordered the nine cannons to bombard him, thinking that even if the Mo family artillery deployed at the foot of the mountain was deployed, it would die slowly. It would be better than the Yishi Infantry Brigade at the foot of the mountain to attack the hill with one go, and that would die quickly!
…………
Doctor Pingyin's face was gloomy and listening to the sound of cannons and fighting in the north, and news kept coming.
"The Mo family has already broken through the camp in front of the hills."
"There are more than a dozen bronze cannons appearing in the Mo family."
"The Mo family wants to seize the hill..."
He was not a blind or deaf person either. Before the request of the commander of the Right Army had arrived, Doctor Pingyin had already understood that he had been trapped.
He pulled out his sword and slashed hard on the shaft of the carriage, and said angrily: "The lord is as cunning as a fox! Yesterday's attack, he made me think he wanted to completely compress the front, but in fact his main attack direction was on our right wing. If the hills were lost, the right wing would collapse!"
The strategist beside him also said: "The right army cannon sounds loudly. It will take only a quarter of an hour from the voluntary army urging the snare drum to breaking through the camp. There must be elite troops there."
"Yesterday's fierce attack was to put out fires everywhere, and we mistakenly thought that he had to prevent fire from all sides. In fact, today we were going to attack our right wing, but we were also on the brink of the army."
Doctor Pingyin nodded and said, "It's true that dangerous, but he is best at using danger. In the battle of Hanshui, he fought for hundreds of miles and attacked the city and destroyed the city. He was like a shepherd boy leading a cattle to lead the King of Yue Yi around Si. He took advantage of the attack to make King of Yue dare not enter the foundation of the Mo family."
"In today's war, he attacked the hills. The hills were dangerous. If the hills were lost, the three armies would be in chaos."
"But it's the same. The hills are in our hands. The terrain is dangerous and it's difficult to attack. If he can capture it, our army will naturally be defeated and completely wiped out. But as long as it can't be captured and cannot make a concerted effort, then you can stay stable. There is no danger today!"
The reason is this, but the key is that defending requires more troops, and fighting back against the camps at the foot of the mountain requires elite troops.
What the commander of the Right Army of Qi can think of can also be thought of by Doctor Pingyin.
Although the Mohist school hopes to make a concerted effort, if it cannot make a concerted effort, it is not impossible. It can stabilize the camps at the foot of the mountain, continue to add troops, or attack both wings or take the hills.
The Qi army needs to regain the camp in one go, otherwise it is equivalent to the first camp being torn apart and allowing the Mo family to gain a firm foothold. Even if the hills are not lost, the first camp on the right wing is equivalent to being in the hands of the Mo family.
We must take advantage of the fact that the right wing has not yet collapsed and the Mo family has not yet established a stable foothold and cannot surround the left and right, so we can only choose the opportunity to attack the hills in one go, send elites to counterattack, regain the camp, and form a battle with the Mo family, relying on continuous rotation to maintain morale and hold on until dark.
Doctor Pingyin no longer thinks about how to hold on for five days and ten days. Today, he only wants to hold on until the darkness today, and he will explain the day tomorrow.
At this time, through the Qianli Mile Mile, you can see that behind the right-wing Yishi on the north side, many horse-riding soldiers were gathering, and smoke and dust were rolling.
In fact, it was just the infantry and knights drawn by various divisions and brigades, not the Mohist cavalry, but at this time it appeared, it seemed to confirm the Mohist plan to attack the right wing.
The bronze cannons that were running to the position in the distance also made Doctor Pingyin confirm that the Yishi Division was the main attack on the right wing. Including the artillery that was running, the right wing Mo family actually had nearly thirty cannons, and the cannons were the troops that the Mo family relied on. If it weren't for the attack on the right wing, why were the cavalry and artillery concentrated on the right wing?
Doctor Pingyin was anxious, afraid that the commander of the right army of Qi army would not see the form clearly, so he did not mobilize support first, but sent someone to send orders: fight back with all his might, take back the camp, and fight with the Mo family, and do not allow the Mo family to gain a foothold at the foot of the mountain. He would immediately send someone to support, and all the troops on the mountain could be used to counterattack, and the supported infantry arrived later.
