The so-called "right" means less left, and the front means less back, and the magic of military strategy lies in this.

The right wing concentrated the main force, which was to use the technique of encirclement and overturn the sea to defeat the Chen Cai army of the Chu people in an instant, complete the encirclement of the Chu people's left wing, and make the Mo and Chu coalition attack on the three sides by detouring the flanks.

In order to achieve this goal, the strength of the central army and the left wing must be weak.

What is fighting for is also time. From the beginning, the left wing deliberately retreats is to fight for the time difference. If the right wing cannot win before the left wing collapses, it is a loss.

The military strength of the two sides is almost the same, and the strength of the right wing means the weakness of the left wing and the central wing.

The Chu infantrymen are now fighting hard on the central and right wings for the time being, which seems to be as anxious as the left-wing central army of the Wei and Han Allied Forces, but it is obvious that the Chu people have the advantage.

Based on the time spent by the Chu people on the left wing to readjust the deployment, and the shock of the thunder strike just now, the opportunity for the Wei and Han coalition forces to make a concerted effort has been lost.

It is only one hour to make a complete breakthrough: it takes half an hour to continue to encircle maneuver, but if it is just a frontal attack and cannot develop its military strength advantage, it will add fuel to it, so it is impossible to make a move in one go, and one hour is at least.

However, the artillery advantage of the Mo Chu coalition was still there. The heavy infantry formation of the Wei and Han coalition was most afraid of artillery because the phalanx was too heavy, too deep, and the projection force was obviously insufficient.

Judging from the breakthroughs of the Chu people on the right wing and the central army, even if the Mo family's cavalry did not attack sneakily, they would break through at most half an hour, after all, the military strength was dominant.

So when the Chu new army took a quarter of an hour to adjust the deployment and stabilize the left wing defense line, the chief general of the Wei and Han Allied Forces realized that he had failed.

It is nothing more than a big defeat, a small defeat or a complete defeat.

If you lose a little, abandon the left wing, gather the central army, and hold on until dark, you can always find an opportunity to retreat.

After retreating to Xu land, after repairing, and resisting the city and defending, Wei Han still has the initiative.

Should we choose to abandon some of the interests and negotiate with the State of Chu? Or should we start a full-scale war in Daliang, Xinzheng, Yangdi and other places at all costs? The choice is in the hands of Wei Han.

If the entire army was destroyed, then Xu land could not defend, and the Chu army headed straight to Xinzheng, and there was no other main force in the field of the Wei and Han coalition forces within 300 miles. Whether to fight or not, whether to fight or not, whether to be harmonious or not, the Chu people had the final say.

In this battle, we planned to be Xu, and the Chu State would never compete for the Central Plains for 20 years. We found that the Wei State would get a breather to reorganize the Three Jin Alliance to fight against the Western Qin, which had already achieved results in the reform.

If from the beginning, Wei Ji, Gong Shu Zhuo, and Han You would have brought Chu people into the gang and the Three Kingdoms divided the Zheng Kingdom, this battle would not be fought, and the situation of the Mo family in Si Shang would be ugly.

However, the hatred between Wei, Han and Chu has been fought for hundreds of years and fought for a long time. The dispute between Jin and Chu continued the entire spring and autumn. How many fierce battles and diplomatic straits were launched around Zheng State?

How could Wei and Han choose to seek a slut with the tiger and divide Zheng with Chu? Besides, even if he said he wanted to divide it at the beginning, how could Chu agree?

In the end, what Chu State wanted, Wei Han didn't want to give it, so he could only meet on the battlefield.

But now it seems that it is better to choose to give the few cities that Chu State wants directly, and not eat alone.

Because after this battle, not only did Xu Di and others inevitably belong to the State of Chu, but Wei and Han's main force in the Central Plains also suffered heavy losses. They had no power to go south in the Central Plains for at least a few years, so they could only choose to defend.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. If I had known that it would be meaningless to regret today. Before this battle, Wei and Han of course hoped to defeat the Chu army in one battle, so that Chu would be unable to get involved in Zheng's territory within several years. Once it was stabilized, Chu would have no chance.

This was not Wei Han’s original intention, but it was a helpless choice forced out by the Mo family.

In order to resist Mo and pro-Han, Wei did not guarantee the independence of Zheng; in order to prevent Xinzheng from building a new type of city defense like Pengcheng in Dangshan, South Korea had to take action in advance. If it did not take action, Zheng could hold on until the intervention of various countries; South Korea took action in advance and threatened Mo, Chu and Qin, and Wei had to take advantage of the situation to obtain territory and divide Zheng; Daliang City lost to Wei more than ten years ago, making Song less important to Chu, and Zheng, which was originally important with Song, became the bottom line for Chu to buffer the Central Plains; the Mo family promoted the fire and encouraged Chu to start a war, and the Battle of Yinyang finally broke out...

For Chu, perhaps the choice of today's coup in Song was destined when Wu Qi captured Daliang City more than ten years ago.

The State of Song is very important. The people of Chu once shed too much blood for this, and it seemed that the State of Chu would shed another blood for this.

But in fact, the momentum of Chu at this time was not very important. Because the Daliang was lost, and because the State of Chu chose to strengthen the strategic contraction and reform.

At this moment, the battle between Yinyang seemed to be at its peak, but the general of Wei Han understood that the key to a big defeat or a small defeat was now on the detoured cavalry of the Mo family.

The nobles succeeded in counterattack. The two recent infantry heavy formations can form formations to defend, and the defeat on the left wing is inevitable, but the main force of the right wing can also form formations to defend themselves until dark, thus retreating.

The nobles failed to counterattack, and the Mo family cavalry could rush straight to the place where the central army and the chief general were. Within a quarter of an hour, the entire left wing of the central army would collapse and there was no time to adjust the deployment. At that time, the main force of the right wing would be harassed by the Mo family's cavalry and could not be moved lightly. The central army and the right wing of the Mo Chu coalition could use the marching speed they had just shown to complete the encirclement, and annihilation battle was inevitable.

Even if you run, you can't run. If you don't adjust the deployment in advance, you will cooperate with each other. As long as you run, you will find flaws. The cavalry will be defeated when they seize the opportunity. If you don't run, you will be defeated. If you don't run to guard against cavalry raids, then the infantry of the Chu State can calmly complete the encirclement.

Apart from this, there is no third possibility, including miracle... Even if the Chu State Grand Marshal suddenly died, the Mo Chu coalition was still the winner.

…………

On the plain on the north side, the Mo family cavalry quickly unfolded under the command of the officer, using a formation different from that used before.

The eight small cannons that moved with the cavalry were also deployed at a speed that made the nobles of the Wei Kingdom dumbfounded.

The artillery officers shouted the command, each command was a standard set of actions. The gunners had been tempered for many times and had formed mechanical habits.

More than a hundred elite horse-riding infantrymen who covered artillery quickly formed a formation on both sides of the artillery, forming a three-row queue.

These elite horse-riding infantry were equipped with flint-activated muskets. They looked calm and did not look at the movements of the artillery guarded by them. Instead, they mechanically listened to the command and raised the muskets.

Bang……

Bang bang...

The first soldier in the front fired the musket, then quickly lowered his head and did not look at the situation ahead. He quickly took out a paper bag of gunpowder from his pocket, and put the lead bullet on it in his mouth. The quantitative gunpowder was loaded from the front of the muzzle, and spit out the lead bullet and stuffed it into the muzzle.

Each movement has been trained hundreds or thousands of times, and each pack of gunpowder is quantitatively matched, just like the workshops in the Qin Dynasty that made crossbows and arrows in later generations.

The moment the first person shot, the comrade behind him also shot, loading with a half breath slower than him. The third person was still like this, and then it was the second person in the first row...

When the gunshots sounded, they were connected in pieces and they did not stop, as if they were not a group of soldiers holding very primitive muskets, but a few soldiers holding firearms that never need to be recharged.

The continuous gunfire is a series of intimidation and deterrence, and a kind of cover for artillery.

When needed, they will be divided into teams in Sima, alternately covering retreat or covering artillery transfers.
