Chapter 147 Descend

Half a quarter of an hour later.

The general of Wei Han was ashamed.

The counterattack between the nobles and slaves around him failed, and they failed so quickly.

The Mo family cavalry on the opposite side formed a formation before the attack. After rushing, they used a formation to no formation. The Mo family cavalry attacked on the flanks to form an encirclement. In just half a quarter of an hour, the noble cavalry on their side retreated one after another.

The two infantry phalanxes that he had hoped for also stopped. More than 300 Mohist cavalry launched an inevitable failure, but this inevitable failure also caused the two phalanxes to fall into chaos. While stopping, they sorted out their formations.

He also saw a scene that made him envious and jealous: while the cavalry on his side dispersed, the small cannons adjusted their guns under the cover of the elite infantry who were almost firing continuously. Instead of choosing to drag the pack horses, a group of guns moved the direction of the eight cannons in an orderly manner.

There are no cavalry attacking him yet, but the Mo family cavalry are already trying to attack the two heavy stair formations.

Just after the three hundred cavalry's defeated attack returned, five hundred infantry and knights approached the heavy infantry formation. After a volley, the short-gun cavalry who were re-arranged also chose to shoot and launched an attack from the reverse direction of the three hundred cavalry's rushing forward.

The bombardment of eight small cannons, the volley of five hundred-shot knights, and a volley of short gun cavalry before the impact caused a huge gap in the chaotic heavy-shot formation to appear behind the side.

After a rush, the square formation was already shaking.

General Wei Han sighed and took a last look at the battlefield.

The right wing, which he had high expectations, still did not break through the left wing of the Chu army as he expected with a heavy army crushing by a heavy army.

Even though Chen and Cai's army had collapsed, the three brigades of the Chu State's new army still stabilized their positions. After a previous thunderous volley, the Wei and Han phalanx had to choose to continue to circle to the right to encircle.

Because the front is so wide that it cannot attack at one time, if you want to play the advantage of the number of people, you can only choose to continue to move the formation and raid the flank.

You can move the square array again... the time it takes is quarter of an hour!

Now, it will take at least two quarters of an hour to break through and complete the re-encirclement.

Because of the defeat of Chen and Cai's army, the cavalry and chariots of Wei and Han were already in chaos. Some were pursuing deserters, and some were dispersed. They had not yet gathered.

However, the Chu State Che Guang Knights, who had failed to attack before, have gathered again to cover the flanks of the Chu State's new army and expel the lonely cavalry.

The central army, Wei and Han's phalanx were already shaking, and the positions of several bronze cannons had been captured by the Chu army and were turning the gun mouth.

On the left wing, the infantry that had been mobilized by the State of Chu gradually gained an advantage with the cooperation of artillery. The flanks of the Wei Han heavy-surgeon square formation appeared in danger, and it seemed that the square formation had noticed the raid of the cavalry behind, and the formation was already in chaos.

The right wing was undefeated, and it was even on the offensive, but undefeated did not mean victory! What the general of Wei Han wanted was to defeat Chen Cai's army with the force of Mount Tai and quickly turned to form an encirclement from the left wing of the Chu army. This idea was not achieved, and even if the right wing was undefeated, it would have been defeated on the entire battlefield.

The two heavy stair formations that could hold these roundabouts for half an hour had collapsed, and the other could only choose to hold on, and the way he retreated to the other side had been blocked.

Retreat to the central army is the most unwise. Now the central army and the left wing are about to be broken. If they retreat, they will be involved in the collapsed army and the riots will be unpredictable.

For the current plan, the only way is to retreat to the right wing, completely abandon the left wing and the central army, take advantage of the Mohist cavalry assaulting the central army and the left wing, adjust the deployment, and gather the remaining several square formations together until dark.

The three square formations that were already in exchange for fire with the Chu New Army were no longer able to be recalled. The two square formations that were continuing to detour to the right were finished. The maximum number of troops that could be collected was 10,000, or even only 8,000.

He was also a decisive person. He made a quick decision and immediately rushed to the right in the car, completely giving up the entire battlefield, only seeing whether he could bring these 10,000 people back and find an opportunity to retreat until dark.

…………

Two hours later.

The battle has been decided.

The central army of the Wei and Han Allied Forces collapsed first, because the Mo family cavalry such as the slander Mi chose to rush straight to the central army and then swept the left wing. The entire Wei and Han Allied Forces collapsed, and the Chu army had completed the encirclement.

The Chen Cai army of Chu State did not know where they went, but the Mo-Chu Alliance still had more than 30,000 main forces.

However, on Wei Han, there were only five square formations of the eight thousand people in the city, and they were defended by the formation of the plum blossom formation.

The cavalry was gone, and there were no artillery left, only 1,500 musketeers, 600 archers, and more than 6,000 heavy infantrymen with spears.

The Mo Chu coalition formed three sides of the siege, and the Wei and Han coalition forces were no longer in morale. With the sound of drums, many soldiers holding spears were trembling.

At this moment, several scholars from the Chu State appeared in front of the formation holding white flags.

"It must be a lobbyist."

The chief general of the Wei and Han Allied Forces understood that after looking at the sky, he had to choose to negotiate to delay time.

However, after the Chu people entered the army, they did not delay the time, but went straight to the point.

"The general's heavy insurgency formation, like a mountain, seems extremely difficult to break. The general thinks too much and sticks until dark, or can withdraw."

The general of Wei Han snorted: "It is not known yet. In the past, when Qi and Mo fought, the Mo family called Liufingers also held on to the end with the Plum Blossom Formation. I may not be defeated if I use this formation today."

Over the years, the once unknown Liu Finger has become a figure in the mouths of these noble generals.

The lobbyist laughed and said, "General is well. In the battle of Qi and Mo in the past, the Mo family defended the six fingers of the plum blossom formation. There were more than ten bronze cannons in the formation. The wonderful formation made it possible for bronze cannons to support the main attack no matter where they were."

"Dare you ask the general, do you have a bronze cannon?"

The general of Wei Han was speechless. Of course, he knew the situation of the Battle of Nanji River in the Battle of Qi and Mo. In order to prevent the history books from "more strategies than tactics, so that the readers think that war is nothing more than wisdom", the Mohist school has always compiled some classic battles. As long as tactics are discussed, the battle of Nanji River in Qi and Mo is here.

In the battle, six fingers were feinted on the flanks, attracting the Qi army to counterattack, and they arranged the plum blossom formation to defend with heavy formations. The artillery was in the formation, and the deployment was natural. No matter which direction, they could be supported by copper cannons, so that the Qi army could not break through seven attacks.

The lobbyist said again: "The heavy step formation is, for one is afraid of being raided by cavalry, and for the second is afraid of being bombarded by bronze cannons."

"The formation is complete and heavy, with a depth of equal width, and the most feared of artillery attack. Now the general does not have a single cannon, and our army has dozens of bronze cannons. How can the general defend it? Without cannons, how can he form a formation to defend?"

"Besides, in the Battle of Nanjishui in the past, the main force of the Mo family master attacked one side. Everyone in the Six-fingered Army knew that they would win only need to hold on for a while and dare to be the general. At this time, the soldiers of Wei and Han had morale?"

"Third, in the battle of Nanji River in the past, we first used the strategy of tempting the east to attack the west, and then used the method of central flowering to reverse the border. At this time, the general was just fighting the beasts, so how could he discuss it?"

"If the general does not surrender, our army will fire dozens of bronze cannons at once, and use muskets to open the gap. How can we defend it when the cavalry attacks?"

"In the past, in Heze's alliance, the princes had an agreement to not kill the surrendered soldiers. Why didn't the general surrender early?"

"The defense of Xudi is not enough, so how can we send troops to help? Although the general does not surrender today and stays until dark, what can we do tomorrow? Under the harassment of the cavalry, the general can travel five miles a day?"

The lobbyist laughed and said, "In the battle now, there are no cannons, how can we defend it? Although the heavy infantry formation is in order, it is being defeated by cannons. Wei and Han have no cannons, so there is no way to defend it. The general can ask the astronomers in the army, and ask the sorcerers, there may be rain in the morning? If the sorcerers say there is no rain, what else can the general do besides surrendering early?"

"Winning is a common cause of war. My king does not ask Wenma to redeem it. Why don't the general surrender early?"

After saying these words that completely made the general of Wei Han firmly believe in the words, he whispered: "The Grand Sima has another secret matter. Please leave."

The general of Wei and Han also knew that the Chu army was sure to win. As the lobbyist said, every sentence was true. Without bronze cannons, they could not be defended at all. At this time, the Chu people would not have assassination.

So he shut up and left his confidants, and the lobbyist said, "The Grand Sima has said that the dispute between Jin and Chu are fighting for dominance of the world under the rules. In the changes in Song, Wei, Han and Chu are both in the Mo family, so we must beware of it."

"What happened in today's battle was Zheng, not to plot against Wei and Han's hometown. If the general surrendered, the soldiers of Wei and Han were still there, and it would be of great use to defend against Mo in the future. If the general does not surrender, the casualties will be severe under the siege. If the Mo family attacks, what should we do?"

"If the general surrenders, he will surrender to the King of Chu, not to Mo. My king also gave the emperor a feud, and he had the intention of competing for dominance in the world, but he did not want to be equal to the chaotic world."

When the general of Wei Han heard this, he sighed and said, "This is the case. Only 50,000 elite soldiers were destroyed by me in Yinyang. What is the face of seeing you?"

He sighed several times, but did not commit suicide, but chose to surrender.

At this point, a series of wars triggered by the Song State coup was temporarily over.

In the Battle of Yinyang, the Mo and Chu coalition took advantage of the disadvantages of the land and turned into the sky. They used the advantages of the Chu New Army to play their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, abandoned the left wing and lured Wei Han into the trap, and used Chen and Cai's army to lure Wei Han to raid with the Pythagorean formation. With the advantages of the reserve team of the new army system and the rapid maneuvering and steering deployment, they used the strategies and soldiers to go on risk, and counter-encirclement and swept the flanks to complete the encirclement.

This battle declared the current situation where Wei and Han's heavy infantry system must be reformed.

It also declared the fact that Wei State had weakened and wanted to fight against Chu for five years, and its diplomacy was united in the three Jins to move troops to prevent Qin's bankruptcy.

The hegemony of Wei left over from the Wei Wenhou era changed hands completely - the matter of restoring the country in Zhongshan during the Zhao Jichengquan War, some people still think that the Wei State can be recaptured after five years of resting and lying on firewood and tasting gall, but this battle has become a fantasy.

In this battle, the entire Wei and Han coalition forces were destroyed, and they were captured 25,000, killed 6,000, and fled more than 10,000. The gateway south of Xinzheng was opened.

If Wei Han wants to regain the initiative, unless he chooses a full-scale war in the direction of Daliang, Xiangcheng, Yangdi, Xincheng, etc., there is only one way to negotiate. A full-scale war is something that Wei, Han and Chu are unwilling to see, because there is a fisherman waiting for the snipe and clam fighting next to him - for Wei, there are two, and one in the west.

The Mo Chu coalition army died, and Chen Cai's army fled to the camp, and could still fight again. More than ten bronze cannons, thousands of war horses, and hundreds of chariots were seized.

After a little trimming, you can still fight again.

To the south of Xinzheng, Wei and Han had no troops to fight. To the north of Xinzheng, there were only more than 20,000 troops to fight in the field, and after being pieced together, less than 40,000, so they were unable to fight again.

At this point, the State of Chu may choose to be and or to fight, with the initiative in hand.

If it is harmonious, you will definitely get the approval, Yanling.

The Fangcheng of Chu, Luyang, Fenxing Pass, Xu, Yanling and Yu are connected together, and can attack and retreat and defend, and they will no longer face the danger of being divided into the left and right lines by Wei and Han.

If fighting.
