Chapter 144 The Battle of Nanji Water (5)

Some say: Jade cannot be made without carving. Some say: mud cannot be supported on the wall, and a wall of dung cannot be destroyed.

The 13th Brigade trains on weekdays, and it is Jade Pu. It requires actual tests and hardships to become a real powerful team.

In daily training, we cannot directly defeat others without fighting.

But it is precisely because of the strict daily training that the high proportion of the Mo people are filled with it that the 13th Brigade can be calm when retreating, and can also choose to fight the assault to death when the Qi people launch a counterattack.

It was precisely because the 13th Brigade made an anti-assault move that after eliminating the overall situation, the division representatives still supported Liuzhi's opinion, believing that the 13th Brigade might not be defeated.

As Liu Finger said, now that the 13th Brigade is saved, it will become anxious. All five brigades of the First Division have become dead and cannot move at all.

Moreover, without the advantage of artillery, the Qi people occupied the hills. Once they could not seize the hills in one fell swoop, it would be a serious problem for the entire left wing of the Yishi Division.

The two of them suppressed the opinions of the others, and after the vote, they executed the order of Liuzhi.

The 145th Brigades continued to stabilize the formation and prepare for defense to deal with the situation where the Qi people conquered in one fell swoop after the 13th Brigade was defeated.

On the hill, the commander of Qi Right Army looked at the 13th Brigade of the Volunteer Division who could calmly counterattack while retreating, and was also shocked.

There is no such strong army in the world. The actions of the 13th Brigade have already broken through the understanding of the art of war by the commander of the Right Army of Qi.

In shock, a later generation's saying can describe the situation at this time.

I am afraid of hitting the wolf with a scoundrel.

The commander of the Qi Right Army was originally thinking that the 13th Brigade of the Yishi Division began to retreat, and even if he could still complete the team, the morale of the army would be in chaos.

At this time, taking advantage of the situation and the 13th Brigade will be defeated in an instant. At that time, taking advantage of the 13th Brigade's defeat, all the power on the hills will be used to counterattack, regain the open space at the foot of the mountain, reorganize the camps, and fight for it repeatedly.

But he never expected that the 13th Brigade was not only not defeated when facing the sudden impact of the Qi people, but instead chose to fight back directly. Now the two sides have been fighting together.

Without a sudden defeat, the Mo family's front could be maintained, and subsequent support would not join the battle in a chaotic situation.

There are two brigades of the Yishi Division at the foot of the mountain, and the two brigades are still in full swing, and their movements are unknown.

The infantry sent by Doctor Pingyin from the Central Army to support him still has a long way to go.

There are actually not many troops in my hands, and there are too many troops on the hills.

In this situation, the chief general of the Qi Right Army did not dare to act rashly.

Although the Mo family was worried about the defeat of the 13th Brigade, the commander of the Qi Right Army had never seen such infantry who retreated calmly and could form a formation to fight back. In addition to panic, they were worried about it.

It can be said that the brigade commander of the 13th Brigade's brigade's move to fight back after making an decision on the spot has led to the current situation.

It is impossible for the Mo family to carefully calculate the thoughts of the commander of the Qi Youjun Army. They can only judge the situation from the real reality of the situation on the battlefield.

The commander of the Right Army of Qi also did not know that the Sixth Finger would rather let the Thirteenth Brigade be abandoned than to ensure that the four brigades on the left were in a lively situation where they could attack and defend, so they did not order the fourteenth and fifteenth Brigades to go up the mountain to support.

The commander of the Qi Youjun Army must consider: If all the troops on the mountain are suppressed at this time and the two brigades at the foot of the Mojia Mountain choose to support them, what will be the consequences?

If he wins, even if the entire Mohist left-wing offensive is resolved by him, the main force of the Mohist left-wing will be defeated and the situation will be alive.

But if he is defeated, all his strength on the hills will be suppressed, and the Qi army that came to support is still marching. The marching speed is slow and he has to reorganize and enter the battle... If the three brigades of the Mo family defeat all their troops in one fell swoop before the support is reorganized, then even if the right wing of the Qi army completely collapses, the entire Qi army will be annihilated by the Mo family.

Between victory and defeat, sometimes there is a gamble on the battlefield.

But the result of betting is often confirmed from the beginning of the war.

Doctor Pingyin chose to defend the enemy and did not think about the idea of ​​winning the counterattack or winning the field battle. This also led to the need for the leader of the Right Army to implement Doctor Pingyin's strategy and tactics: he can only seek stability, must seek stability, and must seek stability.

Yesterday's battle, the artillery bombardment in the early morning today, and the 13th Brigade retreated calmly. Faced with the attack on the entire team of counter-assault, the balance in the hearts of the commander of the Qi Right Army tilted towards the direction of "seeking stability".

Since he was required to be stable, he must ensure that the hill was not lost before the infantry that came to the central army of Qi arrived at the hill and completed its deployment and deployment.

To ensure that the hills are not lost, you need to reserve troops on the hills and dare not take any gambles.

In that case, even if the 13th Brigade really wins the counterattack, as long as there are infantrymen on the hills, crossbowmen and musketeers who have already lined up, they can stabilize the situation.

When the reinforcements arrive, Dake will fight repeatedly with the Mo family around the open space camp at the foot of the mountain. Although there are casualties, at least there will be no irreversible situation of the right wing collapse.

If he knew that the orders from Liuzhi were not supported or anxious, then he would definitely let all Qi troops on the hills go into battle at this time, striving to defeat the 13th Brigade in one fell swoop.

However, he didn't know.

The chief general of the Qi Right Army finally looked back at the reinforcements of the Qi Zhongjun who were still moving, and then looked at the 13th Brigade, which could not be confused and chose to form a formation to counterattack without any confusion. He sighed and made a decision in his heart.

If the two brigades of Yishi at the foot of the mountain were so good at fighting and dared to die, or if they had heard of the Mohist style of never stopping in order to benefit the world, and the inspiration of the heart-wrenching words that the Mohist had shouted for a long time last night... If they really chose to suppress the entire army, it would have been possible that all the Qi army on the hill would be defeated. After the chaos, no one would have to suppress the formation, and the Mohist family would have instantly disintegrated the entire Pingyin Legion.

Therefore, the commander of the Right Army of Qi ordered:

The crossbow and musketeers remained in the shape of geese, and each prepared for defense.

The infantrymen who did not participate in the 13th Brigade of the Assault Power Division lined up at the chest between the two wings of the geese formation, making an attack or defense.

If the support from the central army can arrive quickly, then you can choose to attack assault, with the crossbow and musketeers and the support from the central army reinforcements.

If you cannot arrive very quickly, you can look at the situation below. If you cannot win, you will call the gold and withdraw your troops to strengthen the formation, and the Mohist family will not dare to chase after you.

…………

On the hills, the 13th Brigade and a number of brigades that the Qi army took advantage of the situation were already in the most endangering and cruel hand-to-hand combat.

All the musketeers abandoned their guns and fought with daggers or axes, covering the spearmen's flanks.

The spearmen companies on both sides stabilized their wings and remained unmoved. The spearmen companies in the middle began to counterattack under the leadership of the brigade commander, brigade representatives and those Mexicans in the army.

When the musket wheel was about thirty steps away from the gun, the commander of the 13th Brigade ordered several companies in the middle to form a formation to attack, rather than waiting for help.

The spearmen formed a formation with impact. Although the Qi people who attacked by the hills were fierce, their formation was chaotic and could not effectively form an advantage.

It seems that there are more people in all directions, but as long as there is no formation, the number of people facing each other head-on is always less than the Yishima square formation that is densely arranged.

The remaining people can only be behind and it is difficult to join the fight.

The brigade commander of the 13th Brigade had stabbed six Qi people to death. The spearman company behind him was in full swing. Seeing that the morale was boosting, the brigade commander picked up a spear and threw it into the company. Yu soldiers stood in the front row together.

In the front row of the company, the representatives of the company who were listed with him were not locals in Si Shang, but were inspired by the words of foreigners to benefit the world and rushed to join the Mo family.

He saw the troupe's iron helmet towering with pheasant feathers and his armor was covered with blood. He stood up with his spear and did not avoid being behind others. He felt moved in his heart.

He thought to himself: "In the battle of Ailing in the past, Ran Qiu advanced with a spear, boosted the morale of the army, and the spearheaded soldiers lined up to meet each other, and they had a strong tassel, and were majestic, and they established the achievements of a gentleman as a gentleman. Every time they read this, their hearts were inspiring."

"Today's power of the general is no less than that of his son! There are gentlemen in Confucianism, and there are also Mo people who will never die. How can the Qi people win today's battle?"

The true gentlemen of Confucianism and the true Moists of Mohism have two completely different styles, but they all have the same heroic momentum.

When Ziyou faced the Qi army with a spear, he must have a tall crown and a wide belt, a bunch of clothes and hair to meet the enemy, and was covered in blood, but he did not forget that when his hat was crooked, he stood in front of the troops to organize his crown and hat, with a correct appearance, and regarded the enemy of thousands of troops in front of him as nothing.

When the Mozhe Brigade Commander faced the Qi army with his spear, the helmet of the pheasant feathers that the soldiers could see did not have the momentum of looking down on the troops and looking down on the tassels, but it stood like an oak tree standing by the river, waving the spear pole, integrating with hundreds of people, like the force that cannot be blown down and broken by the roots piercing into the land.

Although different, the momentum is equally heroic.

The brigade coach of the 13th Brigade stared at the flag raised by Qi Renzhong with his eyes, looked back at the spearmen who had already maintained on both sides, and shouted: "Impact!"

This shout began to respond from beside him, and finally gathered more than a thousand people to shout together, drums were loud and they struggled forward, and the company where he was located rushed straight ahead of the Qi people's flag.

The people of Qi also held spears, but took advantage of the situation to go down the mountain and attack the Yi army without defeat, but instead attacked, and their momentum was already set.

The formation is not in order and it is difficult to concentrate in one place. The people behind squeeze forward, and the people in front cannot hold on and want to retreat, and the scene becomes increasingly chaotic.

The two armies fought in hand-to-hand combat for only half a quarter of an hour, but in this half hour the Thirteenth Brigade survived without being defeated, and the Qi people could no longer hold on.

…………

The Qi people's camp at the foot of the mountain.

The two brigades, who received the orders of not supporting but were in the whole team, were also watching the melee on the hills while the whole team was in full.

But now, the expressions of the middle and senior officers have changed from the tension half a quarter of an hour ago to the calmness at this time.
