Chapter 258: Extraordinary Power (Part 2)

The Qiren Gunner, who was the first to take the lead in expressing his willingness to cooperate, hesitating for a moment, as if he was wondering whether he should say something.

Seeing him hesitating, the deputy brigade coach asked, "Is there any difficulty?"

The Qi gunner smiled awkwardly and said, "There is no difficulty in bombing the formation. But... it's just that if we bomb like this, if they rushed up... we are afraid we will die. If you don't kill prisoners, but the princes, nobles, doctors and sergeants will kill them."

He understood that the hill where the artillery was located was very important. If the artillery was fired and bombarded the formation, the Mo family were all cavalry and might not be able to defend it.

If they can't defend at that time, the Mo family's cavalry will slip away on horseback, and they will be waiting to die here.

The Mo family did not kill prisoners, but now they switched their guns to bombard the Qi army's formation, which would be the "Qi traitor". Once the Qi army counterattacked, they would undoubtedly die.

Seeing that he was worried about this, the deputy brigade coach thought it was normal, so he smiled and said, "So you are worried about this. You don't have to be afraid. Since you are a comrade who benefits the world, we will not abandon you. If you really fight back and cannot defend it, we will destroy the bronze cannon, and one horse will bring you back."

"What, do you still need to swear?"

When the Qi people's gunner heard this, he immediately smiled and said with a smile: "There is no need to swear. The Mo family will do their best and respect the promise and commit suicide. I know this."

After receiving the promise, he took the lead, organized the remaining gunners, turned the guns, and bombarded the Qi army from behind, who was preparing for the last counterattack on the beach of the floating bridge.

In the Mohist command center at the beach, the staff officer keenly discovered the situation on the small hill of artillery on the flank of the Qi army.

The bronze cannon that suddenly turned the muzzle posed a great threat and panic to the Qi army that had just assembled and launched a counterattack.

What the army fears most is that it is suddenly attacked after just launching and issuing specific tasks. It is the most dangerous when it first launches.

The staff officer told the main general of the Mo family's vanguard about this situation. The main general observed it for a while and cursed with a smile: "This guy really dares to do it."

The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and the grasp of the fighter planes was fleeting. Seeing the Qi army's troops were in chaos, the main general quickly ordered: "Let the infantry in the reserve team cross the river now, don't wait for the artillery on the opposite side to launch! The six companies in front were ordered to take over the enemy's counterattack!"

"Let the remaining cavalry march quickly to the left to cross the river and support the hills. Once the frontal counterattack begins, the cavalry raid from there."

The original plan was to wait until the artillery crossed the river and launch the artillery. After the infantry in front of them repelled the Qi army's counterattack, the main force crossed the river, launched along the river, and attacked reactionfully under the cover of the artillery.

But the four inconspicuous Qi army bronze cannons caused great chaos to the Qi army. The most important thing was that the cavalry of the three companies divided the Qi army in a sense.

If the Qi army wants to stabilize the morale of the army, it must fight back against the hill.

Once a counterattack is launched, the front and side rear are divided into two parts that cannot support each other.

Once the front fails, the troops behind the Qi army launch a counterattack against the hills and cannot effectively organize resistance.

At this time, if the Mo family counterattacked head-on, the chief general of the Qi army must make a choice: should the troops be bombarded by the copper cannon on the side and rear, and continue to maintain the front? Or should they attack the front and gather some forces on the side and rear to seize the hill?

On the other hand, if the front of the Mo family does not cooperate at this time, then the cavalry on the hill will be a lonely army.

The Qi army can delay the frontal attack and first gather forces to drive away the cavalry on the hill.

The head of the Mo family thought this was an opportunity, so he ordered a counterattack head-on, and even without waiting for the artillery troops who crossed the river to launch, he directly mobilized the reserve team that was not deployed but was on standby to cross the river, and rely on infantry to directly attack the Qi army's camp.

The order given to him was to solve these Qi troops before noon tomorrow, and the plan he gave himself was to be before dark today.

With the advantage of military strength, he has enough time and does not want to use danger.

I thought that the cavalry would be difficult to open up the situation on the flank without the cooperation of infantry, but I never thought that the Qi infantry opposite was not so strong. The cavalry that was supporting actually made something big before the infantry arrived.

This allowed him to gather faster cavalry on the left wing and rely on the hill to directly threaten the Qi army's side. The hill was not only four bronze cannons, but also a perfect starting point for the cavalry's flank raid.

The messenger quickly conveys the order, but the reserve team does not expand, but always maintains a formation that can maneuver quickly, which is used to maneuver quickly once there is a problem in a certain direction of the battlefield.

The six infantry companies in front used to stabilize the beachhead of the pontoon bridge were also quickly received orders.

After the various companies were in full, they no longer chose to defend on the spot, but instead attacked when the Qi army was in chaos.

The gunners of several bronze cannons who had first crossed the river also quickly deployed under the urging of the officers to load gunpowder to support the infantry in the front.

In the Qi State camp, the Qi army commander gritted his teeth, and the other nobles also scolded: "The common people do not know righteousness or loyalty, and they are not reliable at all. The gunners are all slick people in the city..."

The artillery suddenly turned the gun mouth on the hill, which made the situation on the Qi army ugly.

The Qi army knew his weakness, so he always wanted to fight a floating bridge and beach, which made it difficult for the Mohist family to exert its superior forces.

If the first counterattack fails, the second counterattack must be organized.

The counterattack formation has now been unfolded, but it has been bombarded by the artillery on the back. The morale is low, the speed of travel has been significantly slowed down, and the morale of the army is in chaos.

And the Mo family cavalry on the hill is really helpless now.

The cavalry jumped out and rushed up the hill, and the commanders were unable to deliver orders so quickly. I don’t know if the officers there could gather together to fight back.

But even if the officers there knew that they would take time to counterattack the hill.

The previous mobilization separated several companies on the flank. Under the threat of the Mohist cavalry in the hills, the Qi nobles who needed to be on the flank must have both courage and brains.

These two characteristics are very luxurious requirements, for noble officers.

Without a brain, companies that have already appeared in the gap may directly attack the hill, which is equivalent to giving military achievements to the cavalry on the hill: a single company cannot stop the condescending impact of more than 400 cavalrymen.

Without courage, you may be at a loss in this situation: Should you stick to the flanks as you ordered before? Or counterattack the hills? Or support the front? Or go back to the back of the formation?

Even if you have both brains and courage, there is no time left. Several companies need to reorganize and form a large formation to cooperate, so that they can break up to the hill, drive away the cavalry, and regain the bronze cannon.

It now seems that the head of the Mo family on the opposite side has discovered this fighter jet. The Mo family infantry on the front is advancing without the cover of the artillery, rather than using a defensive strategy with great advantages.

You can see more Mohist infantry in black uniforms crossing the river in a hurry. After crossing the river, they quickly spread towards the two wings in a column and a horizontal line.

The chief general of the Qi army should be wary of the front now. Once the front cannot be blocked, the troops in front will collapse. If there are no troops in the back to set up a formation to defend, the entire camp may be captured by this counterattack of the Mo family.

But the bronze cannon on the hill cannot be ignored. If it is ignored, the Mo family will not even be able to form a large formation when they attack the camp's main formation.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to let the nobles take the lead in charge and gather the noble officers, slaves, attendants, and dead soldiers. There were about 150 cavalry, more than 80 warriors, gunmen, and martial artists who were good at killing fencing, totaling about 250 people.

These people can quickly maneuver into battle, and can kill with their own courage in the face of chaos.

The safest way is to organize frontal defense to prevent the frontal Mohist infantry from attacking, and then use the defeated Qi army to break through the camp from the front.

Then let the noble cavalry approach the hill, let the messengers tell the companies behind to gather, and use them as bait to attract the Mo family cavalry on the hill, and the nobles take the opportunity to rush up the hill and regain the cannon.

But what this requires is time, and there is no time for him to do so. The premise for this success is that the Mo family will not send a soldier or a soldier to the flank, and it is obviously impossible to wait for him to change the formation like this.

In the crisis, only those nobles who were expected to be brave and loyal and brave in battle would drive away the Mohist cavalry on the hills, just like the warriors who fought in the battle between the two armies, with their inferior forces and discipline, relying on their personal courage and good combat.

Then, they will be with the infantry on the flank. If the Mo family does not strengthen the left wing, then take advantage of the Mo family's opportunity to counterattack and attack, rush from the flank to the floating bridge, destroy the floating bridge, destroy the Mo family's bronze cannons, and divide the Mo family on both sides of the river.

This is almost impossible task, but this is already the only opportunity for the leader of the Qi army.

When the war seems to be defeated, the only way to pin hope on miracles is to be regarded as a gentleman who strives for self-improvement, at least not commits suicide in despair, but chooses to fight for the illusory miracle once.

The noble officers gathered together, and the commander of the Qi army made great ambitions and made bold statements to inspire the aura of the crowd.

"I value benevolence and righteousness, loyalty, and I will cultivate myself; if my family is in harmony, the country has not been governed, what should I ask for if I am immortal?"

"At this point, righteousness is inseparable. Whether the family, country and the world continue the tradition or are destroyed by the Mohist school, it depends on this battle."

"There is a cannon in the Mo family, and you all have blood. I hope you can use blood to moisten Qi and govern the country. If the country does not govern, how can the family survive?"

The princes have a country and the doctor has a family. Originally, the world was in conflict and the country was separated. The doctor could destroy his king for his own home, including but not limited to poisoning, murder, strangling, assassination, etc.

But now, the Mohist school has proposed another concept of the world. The nobles who were originally incompatible with the country have become clear at this moment that the country will not govern the family. If the Mohist school destroyed Qi, it would have to reform the land. Without fiefdoms and privileges, what family should we talk about?
