In the camp of the coalition forces of the princes opposite, smoke was rising and the coalition forces were cooking.

At this time, there was no such thing as burying a pot to cook. Iron pot was still a slight luxury for the princes and could not be distributed to the army. It was better to use the method of cooking in small clay pots.

Two days ago, the coalition forces were unable to escape, so they dug up the soil and cut down the branches, built a simple camp to resist horses.

The Qi army near Sanliu Society was not large on the front line, but there were a large number of gathering prince coalition forces behind Sanliu Society.

Now that the departments have not been fully developed, there is no problem even if the troops observe the soldiers.

In front of Sanliu Society, the coalition forces deployed about twenty bronze cannons, which is already half of the coalition's bronze cannons.

The cavalry of the coalition forces camped on the left side of Sanliu Society, covering the left wing of the coalition forces.

The lords, generals and ministers of the coalition of the princes looked at the hot air balloons rising from the Mo family camp opposite, and their faces showed heavy expressions.

Tian Ju’s so-called tactics of upper and lower fours require an opportunity.

For example, if there is a small hill in the center of the two armies, you can pretend to fight on the left wing, but in fact you gather the troops, use the hill to block the Mo family's view, and then the mobile right wing can win before the left wing collapses.

Or, for example, the two armies went to war for a long time, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the battlefield. They used the cover of gunpowder to quietly mobilize troops, first attracting the Mo family to the left wing, then gathering the main force on the right wing, destroying the Mo family's right wing, then turning, turning defense into offense.

The most difficult thing about this tactic is that it cannot march at night, nor does it cover it up. It relies on the keen judgment of the commander and the superb quality of the soldiers to complete the formation change in the war, and uses the advantage of maneuvering speed to maneuver to the right wing before the Mohist school mobilization.

This is extremely difficult in itself, even if the quality of the soldiers between the two sides is almost the same, not to mention that the generals and nobles on the princes are very clear that the quality of the infantry on their side is not a little different from that on the other side.

The hot air balloon for reconnaissance rising opposite is visible on the terrain of the eastern Henan plain with a telescope. It can be seen clearly within 40 miles, and it is impossible to hide your intentions.

Tian Ju could only inspire everyone and said: "Although we cannot be secretly mobilized now, the Mo family is obviously preparing to focus on the Sanliu Society, and this cannot be faked."

"At that time, as long as the Mo family attacks fiercely, we will mobilize, just move to the right wing before the left wing collapses."

"At that time, the Mo family is about to take down the Sanliu Society. Even if we find out our mobilization, we can only send a message to the left wing to hold on, intending to capture the Sanliu Society before we spread our right wing..."

He talked endlessly, and yesterday he said that he talked about the war on paper, the nobleman said in a cold voice: "But I don't know where Tian Jun came from, thinking that he could mobilize the main force to the right wing before the Mo family captured Sanliu Society?"

"I'm afraid that even if our army is mobilized, it will be useless. How can our left wing defend under the main force of the Mo family attack?"

Tian Juxie glanced at the other party, drew his sword suddenly, slashed the other party in front of everyone, and whispered: "The war is imminent, and those who have a turbulent morale should be killed!"

"The tactics have been decided, whether they are successful or not, as long as they are determined, they cannot be changed!"

Everyone was silent and said yes.

Tian Ju looked at the corpse lying on the ground and thought to himself how could I not know? It’s just that the quality of the coalition forces is far inferior to that of the Mo family. The tactical concept must be conveyed in advance, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to mobilize in the chaos, and there may be loopholes in the mobilization.

He had studied the tactics of the Mo family leader Dazhishi on the opposite side. It was obvious that the opponent was good at luring him, and then used the method of hitting you and hitting me to lure the enemy into the deployment of his established strategy and play with the battlefield in the direction he expected.

In his opinion, it is difficult for the other party to use urgent and intelligent command in the chaos battle formation, let alone the quality of his soldiers on his side, and he can only deploy the strategy in advance.

Now the mobile reserves of the coalition forces are close to the central army near Sanliu Society. Tian Ju envisioned that as long as the Mohist family began to supply Sanliu Society and continued to invest troops, their side could move.

But before this, you must withstand the Mohist school's shelling for at least two hours.

Because this is the inside line on Si, the Mo family's logistics supply is convenient. With the Mo family's nature of using gunpowder, it will definitely bombard the bronze cannon when it has to cool down before the infantry will attack.

Moreover, this side not only has to withstand the shelling of the opponent's superiority, but also has to withstand the shooting and hand-to-hand combat of infantry and at least an hour.

The current military formation configuration of the Mohist family is in depth stairs. The troops in front are deployed, while the troops in the back are kept as reserves for support at any time.

In other words, if the troops are mobilized immediately after the shelling, the Mo family will definitely notice that the reserve teams deployed on the second line can quickly support their left wing.

Only after the Mo family's attack was too strong, the subsequent second-line troops were launched into a horizontal battle formation, could they have the chance to move on their own.

In other words, if you want to make a comeback now and seek victory in a dangerous situation, it can actually be said to be a life-threatening death.

Under the Mohist shelling, if the infantry in the Sanliu Society collapsed, then there would be no life.

Under the shelling, the Sanliu Society infantry did not collapse, but the cavalry was completely defeated by the cavalry on the flanks of the Mo family, so they would be dead and dead.

Under the shelling, the infantry did not collapse and the cavalry did not collapse, but the front-line troops of the Mo family did not suffer much loss, and there was no need for the reserve team to attack, so they were still alive.

The life-long counterattack envisioned by Tian Ju must be held under artillery attacks. The cavalry and the cavalry on the flank of the Mo family were in an unbeaten. The front near Sanliu Society defeated the Mo family at least four or five attacks, forcing the Mo family to launch the reserve team. Their reserve team had not yet been put into the battlefield at this time. Then the Mo family's reserve team was frustrated and they were stuck in Sanliu Society. The main force of the side marched to the right wing and then deployed for at least three quarters of an hour. The left wing should not collapse and it is best to launch a counterattack so that the Mo family could not gather its troops and gather and mobilize...

Only when all these conditions are met can you have a chance to fight on the right wing.

Any problem with any link will fail.

But this is also the only chance to turn defeat into victory on the battlefield after strategic mistakes and clever calculations. Whether the remaining ones are defending the round formation or waiting for reinforcements, they are dead ends.

Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, and those who are good at planning have no great reputation. The victory or defeat has already determined most of them outside the battlefield. I can only choose this kind of life-long counterattack method.

Looking forward to the Mohist family making mistakes, looking forward to the bursting of morale, looking forward to falling off the horse and dying, looking forward to the sudden heavy rainfall in late autumn... Only this can you beat 50%.

If there were no artillery soldiers, the Mo family would have to chew for twenty or thirty days to chew off the round camp. At that time, reinforcements from the princes and doctors of the coalition forces might be able to arrive. At most, the Mo family would cut off the food route and attack the reinforcements, intending to trap them to death.

But now there are artillery soldiers, and there are more than a hundred bronze cannons on the opposite side, and the Mo family likes the defense under this dense formation most. If the artillery attacks in one day, they may be completely defeated.

The Duke of Qi was incompetent, the Duke of Han had no soldiers, and the emperor had a total of 3,000 armors. The command of this battle fell on Tian Ju, who had read the military books but had not commanded a large-scale battle.

…………

Opposite the camp, the Mo family's camp also began to move.

After getting up, the infantry put their backpacks in the camp and dismantled the troops at the realm last night. Each company began to count the number of people and assemble the team.

The starting point of the attack was about three miles away from the coalition forces. The engineers had already dug up the fortification in front of them, and the artillery would be deployed later.

Engineers need to dig special positions for artillery soldiers, because if the recoil of the copper cannon is not deployed by the engineers, the copper cannon will be misaligned.

The artillery should not be launched one day in advance, because we have to worry that the enemy's sneak attack on the artillery positions at night and destroy the bronze artillery.

Only after the infantry assembled and unfolded at the front before the attack was launched, the artillery could be unfolded and then bombarded.

The messenger ordered the launch time of the shelling of each unit to be the time of food, that is, around 7 o'clock in the morning. This time was the time for breakfast when the world had two meals a day, so it was called the time of food.

Artillery soldiers like to fight in such weather. In recent years, the development of smelting and casting technology in Si Shang has rarely had any copper cannon explosions. The most painful thing for artillery is the clay mud during summer combat.

The Si Shang Plain area is an impact plain. In ancient times, the crisscrossing rivers created the fertile soil here, but it also caused the legs to be unable to be pulled out once it rained.

Now late autumn is dry and the artillery is full of joy.

The cavalry spread cover on the flanks, and after some infantry unfolded at the front, the artillery began to drive the bronze artillery to the pre-deployed positions.

The officers shouted slogans loudly. The gunners quickly adjusted the muzzle according to their exercises, used protractors and drapes to adjust the angle of the copper cannon, and opened the gunpowder bag or gunpowder barrel wrapped in tung oil paper.

The strong men carried the heavy iron balls from the carriage and piled them together, spaced them from where the gunpowder was stacked.

The gunner made the final angle adjustment according to the officer's instructions.

The mission of the fifty bronze cannons on the right wing is to bombard the twenty bronze cannons of the opposite coalition forces, and then turn to bombard the infantry after gaining the advantage.

In front of the built artillery positions, there are infantry covers, and several small copper cannons filled with iron sand to guard against the opposite cavalry.

The cavalry spread on their right side and did not rush to attack first. In the early stage, just make sure that the opposite cavalry cannot pose a threat to their infantry and artillery.

When the gunners were busy, the auxiliary artillery took charcoal and lit the brazier in the downwind direction, inserting the iron knitting into the brazier. When the battle is fierce, it is necessary to use the red-burned iron knitting to insert the fire door, which saves the time of plugging the fuse.

The brushes with vinegar water and the beautiful wooden barrels were all ready, and the officers were waiting for the smoke of gunpowder to open fire on the central army.

About the time when the food was arrived, the artillery from the central army began to bombard, and the postponed order was not issued, and the artillery soldiers on the right wing began to ignite.

The roar of gunpowder disturbed the silence of the morning. The heavy iron bomb passed over the infantry in front and fell into the coalition army that was ready for battle.

After firing, the gunners began to adjust the angle, correct the direction, and reduce the filling of gunpowder according to the officer's orders.

The coalition artillery opposite did not choose to fire at the opposite end because they knew that in terms of accuracy and quantity, they were not as good as here, so the strategy of the coalition was to bombard the infantry and cavalry of the Mo family before being completely suppressed.

Most of the hour later, Shi took out his ears that were buzzing slightly and observed the situation in the direction of Sanliu Society on the right wing.

The artillery effect for more than an hour was very good. It was obvious that the coalition bronze cannons on the right-wing Sanliu Society had chosen to retreat. They did not choose to push the front, but retreated to a place that was difficult for the Mo family's artillery to reach, completely abandoning their frontiers.

Some Qi army companies on the opposite side had been blasted open. After more than an hour of artillery bombardment, you can see that at least six Qi army in the company were destroyed by artillery and it was difficult to maintain, so you began to retreat.

He turned his gaze to the left wing, and the coalition forces opposite the left wing had only four cannons.

Shi waved his hand and called the commander to the commander and said, "Tell the left wing and attack in advance."

Originally, his plan was to attack on the right wing to attract the support of the coalition's central army, and then rush to the central army to cut the coalition into pieces.

But now it seems that the coalition's right wing's strength is weak, and it seems that it is about to abandon the right wing and ignore it.

The reserve team of the coalition forces has not moved yet, and is still concentrated in the direction of the central army approaching the left wing Sanliu Society. We want our left wing to attack in advance and test the intentions of the coalition forces.

Although the left wing is not the main force of the Mo family, its military strength still has an advantage. If you can open up the situation on the left wing, then your own deployment may need to be changed.

If the coalition forces cannot hold on to the right wing and the central army begins to support the right wing, then the central army can attack and cut.
