Chapter 149 The Battle of Nanji Water (End)
The cavalry will not launch an impact at too long distances, as the horses will not be able to stand it.
You can only run slowly first and gradually accelerate to a distance of dozens of steps from the enemy formation, and increase the horse speed to the maximum.
Slow walking can maintain the formation, accumulate horsepower, and maximize the formation when the horse jogs at full speed.
There are not many cavalry companies in the charity division using spears, and there are very few. Because the training is too difficult, they are basically some veterans who have served overtime.
The spear impact is easy to break, and these cavalrymen with spear impact also need to train swordsmanship, chopping, and other things.
Although Qi State did not have regular cavalry this time, and there were not many princes in the world with stirrup cavalry, as the elite of the cavalry, these people still had to practice cavalry hedging that might not be able to be used within a few years.
But today, the front-row spear cavalry company only needs to use the two skills they learned, "spray-holding impact" and "iron sword-killing".
The sound of horses trampling on the earth was like an earthquake, rumbling, as if the earth was trembling.
At the front row, the cavalry officer saw the grass under his feet quickly retreating, raised his head and looked at the loose military formation of Qi people. Some Qi people had already begun to escape backwards.
As the distance became closer, the officer ordered: "Full speed! Shock!"
The riders pierced the iron spikes behind the leather boots into the abdomen of a horse that was usually like a partner, and the horses that had warmed up and speeded up increased their speed to the maximum.
The rider in the front row stood on the stirrup with his feet, his thigh muscles collapsed tightly and hard like a stone, his body undulating with his horse's back, and his thick wrists maintained a trembling spear.
A veteran who had been serving in the Battle of Hanshui pointed his spear in his hand at a panic-faced Qi soldier. After a flash, the veteran felt that he should be a poor Qi family farmer, and he felt a little moved.
He didn't look back to see if it was stabbed, but based on the feeling he felt just now, he knew that it must have pierced into the poor Qi Rensunnong's chest.
The spear had already let go, but he did not bow his head, but used movements that had long been as good as when he pulled out the iron sword from the saddle, as smooth as if he could touch his own advantage with his left hand closed with his eyes.
The previous order was to not cut and kill after breaking through, but to directly cross the scattered Qi people and reorganize the team under a big tree in front.
The officer carried a few wisps of flags on his back, and there were also those in the backbone of the company. They were the flags leading the way. The veterans just looked at the direction of the flags and controlled the horses.
There was a Qi soldier who was running away with his head covering his head. The veteran almost subconsciously pushed the horse's head and let the horse stick to the left side of the Qi man. His body bent slightly, and the sharp iron sword slashed heavily at the Qi man's neck. He pulled the sword with a slight stroke, but he didn't look back and followed the flag floating in front.
The cavalry took the lead in breaking through, and the infantry almost followed and broke through the Qi army formation.
The elite Death Mo people were almost never surrounded by Qi people and fought hard. The assault of the middle-side cavalry had already shocked the Qi people's insurgent formation. By the time the subsequent spearmen rushed over, the Qi army was defeated.
It was like a dam that had been immersed in autumn water. The breakthrough on this south side was like a hole dug on the dam, and the entire left wing of Qi people had been shaken.
This is a battle that is not fierce, neither anxious nor tragic, only as fast as thunder.
When the subsequent cavalry rushed through the gap, the Qi army had already given up its resistance, and the voices of Qi were heard everywhere on the battlefield.
"Raise your hand and don't kill it! The army is defeated!"
Last night's propaganda, today's fierce attack, and the thunder just now, the people of Qi, who had no intention of fighting, held their weapons and squatted on the ground. They did not choose to escape because it was meaningless, and it would be easier to survive.
By the time they arrived on horseback, the four cavalry companies that had attacked the first wave had reorganized in the Qi formation and rushed towards the panicked Qi army, and the subsequent more than ten cavalry companies had passed through the gap.
Under the shouts of the officers, the infantry reorganized their teams, opened up their lines and swept northward.
When they were in their place, more than three thousand people surrendered.
Originally, these Qi people were very panicked, but after surrendering, they became much more secure.
On the battlefield, some people shouted to let the Qi people who were captured in the most battle to appease their partners' emotions, explain the Mo family's policies, leaving two companies to guard the prisoners of these Qi people.
There were some things that could not be said in the army, and those Qi people who had been captured once could now say with confidence and boldness.
The familiar local accent, trusted partners, and friends who ate with each other... Their words quickly made some nervous people in their hearts let go of the last bit of anxiety.
A Qi man who had been captured once even used the unique Si Shang that he learned when he was captured, and combined the accents of Song, Chu, Qi and other places to ask the guards: "Hey, the soldiers of the Mo family, do you have any food? You attacked for a day and fired artillery in the morning. We didn't eat much, and we are very hungry now."
The battle here was not fierce, and the guards of the Mozhe Company did not even get much blood. Hearing the strange accent of the Qi people, he smiled and said, "You surrendered earlier and you were no longer hungry. Why do you want to fight? What do you think you are trying to do? What benefits can you get? Even if the king conquered the land, he would not give you a piece of it..."
The Qi man showed his rotten teeth and smiled bitterly: "It's not possible. If you surrender early, if you can't win, my family will suffer. My father will serve as a prostitute."
After he finished speaking, he whispered: "But when I put on the crossbow just now, I raised the mountain to look up..."
The soldiers of the Mo family sighed and touched their arms. Then they thought that they threw the dry food bags into the woods before the assault. They said a little embarrassedly: "I have nothing to eat now. But you also know the rules of our Mo family, and there will be something to eat later."
The two began to chat, and there were still cannons in the distance, but the two people who were still hostile before talked about the things about Jiahe, like villagers.
They are all in Jiuzhou, only a few hundred miles apart. The weather is exactly the same in spring and autumn, and there is no difference between the farming workers. The nobles can talk about etiquette, music and poetry, and the farmers also have their common language...
…………
Qi Zhongjun.
Doctor Pingyin collapsed on the carriage, half-closed his eyes and muttered: "It's over... it's over! Sixty thousand troops are all covered here!"
"From Lixia in the east and Xueling in the west, the Mo family can go wherever they want, and attack the city where they want! Pingyin has no troops to defend, Linzi is in danger..."
The moment the Mohist First Division and cavalry appeared on the south side as columns, Doctor Pingyin knew that he was defeated and did not even feel lucky.
That was the main attack direction of the Mo family. After more than a day of battle, the Mo family kept lying to him. Finally, he deceived him half an hour ago and transferred all the remaining troops he could maintain to the Right Army.
The left army is empty and has no soldiers available. Once the Mo family breaks through, it will be a flat horse and the cavalry can rush straight to the central army.
Once the reserve troops, which were originally as strong as turtles, were no longer possible to maintain the originally strong formation.
The collapse of the left wing and the collapse of the frontier of the central army was just a matter of a moment.
The army gathered in the Right Army, and it was impossible to turn attack into defense. The Mo family's cavalry was like a hot sword cutting into mutton fat. Just a slight rush, a Qi brigade who was supporting the north collapsed, and it was impossible to organize an effective defense again.
Now Doctor Pingyin already knows that the Right Army is not facing the main force of the Mo family, at least not the direction of the main attack.
However, the army gathered on the right side. For nearly half an hour, the left wing of the Yishi, who had become the end of the strong wind, remained motionless.
Half an hour ago, the Right Army began to counterattack. There were three brigades of the Mo family and many artillery. Not only did the Qi army attacking fiercely did not capture it, but the righteous army there even organized a counterattack.
Going south at the junction of the Right Army and the Central Army, when the Qi army approached, the soldiers there quickly formed a formation, with only two thousand people, forming three large formations.
The Qi army of three brigades attacked fiercely on three sides, and the north side might be attacked by the charity army under the hills.
More than 6,000 people took turns to fight, and the infantry of the Yishi Division, who had only two thousand people, applied the formation to the extreme. With three times the force, it was impossible to break the formation in half an hour.
Among the three-grade shaped formations are the musketeers and artillerymen of the Yishi Division. Every time they want to attack through the gap, the artillerymen and musketeers will fire a volley.
The spearmen who formed the formation fought to the death and did not retreat, and the Qi army surrounded by three sides was helpless.
Doctor Pingyin thought that there must be a suitable command. Before the slew of the flowing offensive, he forced him to send all his strength to support the strength of the Right Army. In the end, when problems arose on the southern front, Doctor Pingyin realized that it was just a general of the Mohist righteous army rather than the commander.
Under this gap, Doctor Pingyin felt as if he was ashamed and was full of fear of the righteous master and was powerless to fight again.
But even if he doesn't collapse mentally, even if he is as strong as a stone and his heart is as copper and iron, what can he do at this time?
The Right Army turned into an offensive, but the fierce attack could not be achieved without any progress.
The left wing had collapsed, and in an instant, the entire army was shaken.
Except for the elite private soldiers around him, the remaining troops were mobilized before and marched towards the right army. It was impossible for them to stop and turn to the entire formation in a hurry.
Moreover, even if the entire formation, the Mo family broke through from the left wing, and the Qi army brigades could not take care of each other because of support to the right wing. Even if the Qi people could still fight to the death, they could only fight to the death and could not take care of each other without flank cover, which would be the fate of being defeated by each one.
If the formation is not in a complete way, you cannot fight. If the formation is not in a continuous way, you cannot fight.
Besides, I am afraid that few people from Qi will fight to the death.
Doctor Pingyin was already in a state of tranquility. His army of 60,000 was fighting with 40,000 Mohist families, but he didn't even eat a brigade.
From Lixia to Gu, all the soldiers recruited by the officials from various places were here. The Mo family wiped out all these 60,000 people. Who can defend those cities? Who can defend those cities without troops under the Mo family who are good at siegeing and defending cities?
Once the Pingyin is broken, the Great Wall is equivalent to None, and the road from Ji River to Linzi is unobstructed.
Doctor Pingyin thought from the day he escaped from the Mo family and fled backward, but never thought he would fail so thoroughly.
Sixty thousand troops were ruined, and even a built-in brigade of the Mo family was lost. Doctor Pingyin estimated that the Mo family would only lose two or three thousand people at most, and the army could still fight again.
From yesterday's matchup to today's break, it took only a dozen hours to think about being able to guard for five days, but he didn't want to count that he only saw one dusk.
The Right Army was not the Mo family's breakthrough direction at all, but it could force the commander of the Right Army to attack repeatedly. The direction of a feint attack, the main force he concentrated could not shake the righteous army line that had become the last of his strength.
Chapter completed!
