Not all the military branches in Si are dumb, such as three light cavalry companies that are quietly crossing the river from the left wing.

The light cavalry on Si were mainly composed of wealthy farmers, and some middle-level officers also returned from the front line of fighting with the Hu people in Zhao.

Their equestrian skills are good and their personal skills are also good, but they are not as good as the more dull Si Shangwu Knights, that is, those more disciplined heavy riders.

When the river crossed the front and started fighting, the light cavalry of three companies had already bypassed the river from elsewhere.

Horses can swim, and light cavalry does not come with muskets. Their mission is to threaten the Qi army on the flanks, making it difficult for the Qi army to deploy more troops.

The light cavalry of three companies can force at least seven or eight hundred Qi troops to defend against the flanks and not strengthen the front. Qi State has not many cavalry, which requires more infantry to strengthen the flank defense.

The orders and tasks received by the deputy brigade coach who led the team were just restraining them.

But he noticed a perfect fighter jet that was suitable for light cavalry.

The four cannons of the Qi army were on a small hill on the flank side. There were not a few cannons in total in the Qi army guarding here. The artillery commander on the hill should be a noble who had studied in Si. He chose a very professional position and was able to bombard the ferry bridge, and was under the cover of the flank infantry.

The three cavalry companies appeared from the flank, which caused some panic to the Qi people, but at this time they were only confronted from afar.

The deputy brigade commander used a telescope to observe the situation opposite. The four shiny Qi bronze cannons were like bait placed in front of fish. Even though they knew there might be fish hooks, they still made these cavalry officers who were born in Zhaodi and were unbearable.

After observing for a while, I determined that if I rush forward, even if I rush forward, I would probably not be worth the money.

The infantry under the hill was ready for battle, with about three companies of Qi infantry, and about half a company of Qi army near the artillery position.

This time the resolution above was to cross the river head-on, build a position and break through head-only, and the flanks only sent light cavalry with good battlefield mobility to support it.

The infantry fighting with the light cavalry was still behind, and it would take some time for them to cross the river.

If you wait a moment and wait until the infantry catches up, you will have a chance to get rid of the four bronze cannons of Qi army when the losses are very small.

The deputy brigade coach looked at the battle situation at the front pontoon bridge again, but time was somewhat unsatisfied.

At the floating bridge, the artillery soldiers on Si were crossing the river. After the infantry fired volleys, they successfully counterattacked and drove away the Qi army that came to drive them away.

The four bronze cannons of Qi army took advantage of their position on the hill and began to bombard the Si Shang infantry outside the floating bridge.

The deputy brigade commander was sure that Qi State had no cavalry anymore. Otherwise, the cavalry of his three companies would show off on the left wing, Qi State would definitely send cavalry to drive them away.

Because of such a light cavalry moving on the flanks, the Qi army could only set up a round formation to defend, making it difficult to make an effective counterattack.

He did not make a rash attack, and after carefully observing the situation on the battlefield, he discussed with the company commanders.

There are no fighter jets or vulnerabilities to exploit now, but he feels that he can find an opportunity to create a fighter jet or vulnerability.

Now the cavalry of these three companies is dead, but it is just a support. It is difficult to break through the persistent Qi army without the cooperation of infantry.

Just like the raid of the light cavalry in the decisive battle of the plains, it seized the fighter plane and suddenly attacked the flank during the transition of formation confrontation; it was a completely different attack from the enemy's flanks waiting for the enemy's flanks, and the effect was completely different.

The Mohist family has advantages in terms of numbers, and they have great advantages, so if the tasks of these three companies are just restrained, they actually make great contributions.

The cavalry of three companies restrained at least 800 Qi infantry, making it impossible for them to effectively participate in the counterattack.

Both the constrained and the constrained are death numbers. Although they are beneficial to the overall situation, they have no real military achievements.

The deputy brigade commander pointed to the direction of the Qi army's position in a more sideways and said: "If we attack there once and can lure the Qi army infantry under the hill to move towards the other side, we can create a flaw. Using our speed, after transferring the infantry away, we will rush up the hill and get rid of those bronze cannons."

After expressing his thoughts, several company commanders were eager to try.

After a rough look, it seems that this idea is still very likely to be realized, but the risks are also very high.

There is a weak point in the Qi army formation behind the side, and there is a company of Qi army.

If the company can be defeated and the situation is to be attacked and the generals and flags are seized in the attack formation, the Qi army under the artillery hill will likely choose to move sideways and backwards.

It was not to catch up with this cavalry, but to cut off their retreat and let them be surrounded in the formation and thus defeat them.

Once they start to mobilize, turn, and move, it is convenient to retreat at the right time, use their speed to bypass the moving infantry, rush up the hill with one go, and destroy the four bronze cannons.

The risk lies in whether the formation can be maintained after rushing in, and whether someone will rush too far into the ground and be really trapped. In that case, if you cannot retreat, it is very likely that the cavalry of the three companies will be withdrawn and reimbursed, cut off the retreat route by the infantry, surrounded by all sides, and unable to perform speed. That is not a subjective and active military achievement, but a great defeat caused by arbitrary charge, and even if you survive, you will be judged.

In addition, after rushing in, you will not be able to retreat early, and you will not be able to mobilize it like that; you will not be able to retreat late, and you will be trapped inside.

This is not only a test for the commander, but also a test of the discipline of daily training.

Be safer to wait for the infantry behind to follow, and both sides cooperate to create fighter jets, but it will take at least half an hour for the infantry behind to follow...

Four bronze cannons are not small achievements.

Many people think that after this battle, the coalition of princes will not be able to escape. Once the coalition of princes is resolved and the emperor, the Duke of Qi and the Duke of Han will be killed, I am afraid that there will be no war in the world in the future.

Since this is the case, it is better to fight for it and think of military achievements.

They have been able to provide support for the side and backward communication methods, and have the right to make an opportunity before the war, especially when the orders given above are intact support.

After a small meeting and a little vote was passed, the three companies marched towards the Qi army further behind.

The company behind the Qi army noticed the movements of the Mo family cavalry, and the musketeers unfolded one after another, carrying heavy mesh ropes and guns on the wooden fork.

Here happened to be a company of Qi troops, eighty spearmen and more than one hundred and ten musketeers.

The spearmen are arranged in four rows, and the musketeers are divided into four rows on the two wings, and they are fired on the shared wooden forks in front. This is the standard defensive tactic of the Qi army, which basically originated from the experience of the Qi-Mo War or the Battle of Hegemony on the Si Shang.

However, this tactical system requires good cooperation from cavalry. Qi State cannot raise enough cavalry, and the chariot troops have proved difficult to perform. Qi State's tactical system has a great problem.

Now a company of 200 people faces nearly 500 cavalry, and many Qi soldiers are extremely panicked because their flanks have no cover, so they are alone here.

The company closest to them on the side was two hundred steps away. The Qi army was short of strength and had to organize a frontal counterattack and guard against the cavalry that was moving from the flank. In order to prevent such a big loophole in the cavalry after being mobilized, the cavalry officers of the Mo family also discovered this loophole.

When the distance was about four hundred steps, the three cavalry companies on the opposite side began to unfold, forming a long line like waves, and began to urge the horses to run slowly to warm up.

The main weapon of the light cavalry on the opposite side is the iron sword, but when it hits, they will choose to use a long wooden spear.

It is said to be a spear, but in fact it doesn’t even have a spearhead, just a long wooden stick with a sharp point cut out with a sword in front.

The wooden spear used for this kind of impact is basically one-time, and throw it away after use, and pick it up when cleaning the battlefield.

Most people will be broken after stabbing people, and those who are not broken will also be replaced with iron swords when they rush into the enemy formation to fight.

The Mohist light knight training is far less stringent than those of the martial knights, but it is still in order.

The officers in front were following several numerators. Once they rushed, only the horn could pass the order. The wooden spear used by the trumpeter and the commissar carried a brightly colored flag.

After the officers issued the order, they held the wooden spear in their hands. There was a rope behind the wooden spear, which could be hung on the side of the stirrup when marching.

Two companies have 300 people in the middle, and one company is left on the side. After breaking through, if necessary, the team must be reorganized from behind at about fifty or sixty steps behind the enemy.

"Run slowly!"

The deputy brigade commander issued an order, and the trumpeter around him blew the order into a trumpet. The cavalry in front half curled up and began to accelerate slowly.

You can't run too fast at the beginning, so that the horse cannot maintain its maximum speed during impact.

You can't run too slowly at the beginning. After getting close to you, the horse cannot speed up within a specified distance.

It was as if a layer of sea waves, when the Qi army was about 150 steps away, the Qi army had already chosen to shoot for the first time.

Four cavalrymen were hit and dropped their horses, and seven or eight were injured.

The Qi army adopted a take-off shooting method, but the flanks were not covered, and the weak spearmen were not enough to provide confidence, which greatly reduced the loading speed of the musketeers.

After the four teams finished shooting, the first batch of musketeers who fired the gun had not completed the loading.

The hands of a Qi army musketeer had already begun to tremble, as if the shaking of the horse's hooves also made his hands tremble.

From time to time, I look up my head to see how far the cavalry on the opposite side is. Every time I look up, it means that my loading speed will slow down.

As the cavalry approached about sixty steps, the horn sound suddenly changed. The cavalry in the front row began to accelerate the horses to the maximum. The ones sandwiched under the armpits were not shining. The cheap bamboo or jujube wood spear seemed to have stabbed the Qi soldiers.
