Chapter 273 The Battle of the Two Sons (10)

The nobles of Qi who were fighting for the decisive death were extremely brave, and most of them had a deep feud with the Mo family.

There have been constant news before that after the Mo family entered Jiaodong area, they implemented land reform in Jiaodong area. Their fiefs were deprived, and their parents, wife and daughters were naturally inevitably affected.

In addition to the actions of the Mohist families in the southwest Qi area after the Qi-Mo War, it was really tyranny for these low-level nobles.

As well as the fact that Si Shang has been conducting cultural construction, the emergence of a large number of literate populations has completely replaced the control of the old scholars at the grassroots level. The Mohist school did not have good intentions for these low-level nobles.

Because of value and demand, there is no need for compromise or united front, so it is much more fierce when you start.

Some things cannot be stated explicitly, but the implementation of policies is biased. Leaving these people is not only a factor of social instability and the successors of the cultural texts of the old culture vassal states. If you want to unify them, you must find a way to kill them.

The nobles of Chu State were not far away. They were either arrested and went to coal mines to mine for labor reform, or exiled overseas to fend for themselves. Identification, review, forced migration, forced labor... In just one year, the State of Chu State had no possibility of restoring its country.

These low-ranking nobles of Qi State were themselves beneficiaries of Qi State's reactionary reform policy, and their fighting spirit was still very high under the agitation.

With such a spiritual pursuit of immortality, the noble warriors wearing purple turbans shouted slogans for Qi, and did not avoid guns and bullets, and bravely moved forward.

When they were about fifty steps apart, they were hit by a wave of scattered shots.

At the top of the hill, the company commander or company representative in the Mohist infantry company also shouted the slogan "For the benefit of the world, never die" after the volley. It used another concept of spiritual immortality to inspire the morale of the people and launched a counterattack.

On the top of the small hill, one side fought with short spears, short swords, lead bullets, and iron thunder for the sake of Qi State, for the king, and for themselves and immortality.

…………

The left wing of the coalition forces, Sanliu Society.

The news that the right wing was about to collapse stimulated the nerves of the emperor and the princes.

Tian Ju knew that he had no chance of winning, so he remained calm and did not think that it was because of his command error that caused this failure.

Facing everyone's eyes, he wanted to explain a few words, but in the end he didn't say anything.

The hope of winning this battle was slim. Under the confrontation of the front, forcing the Mo family to unleash all their troops and mobilize the main force to launch a counterattack on the right wing, which is the only possibility of victory.

Defending to the death is defeat, supporting is defeat. It is a battle of life in death. No one can command it. Victory is a blessing, defeat is inevitable. What can you do if you don’t help yourself?

For a moment, Tian Ju felt that perhaps there was a saying in this world that there was a destiny, but this destiny was now in the hands of the Mo family.

Otherwise, why didn’t a lightning suddenly fall and hit the harem commanded by the central army?

Tian Ju was silent, but the princes and generals were impatient and restless, and said one after another: "The Right Army is about to collapse. Can't we still mobilize our troops to stabilize the right wing?"

Tian Ju thought for a while and finally said, "It is impossible to do anything. I am weak in virtue and can be weak, but the blame lies with me."

"Now the left army of the Mo family has defeated our right army, and the army reserve team has not moved, and the elite martial knights have not yet been put in. If the troops are divided to the right, how can the central army respond to the assault?"

"For the current plan, we can only defeat the cavalry and infantry behind Sanliu Society... the emperor and the princes retreated into their own country or entered Yanzhao in the north and hunted in the west to Qin, waiting for the future."

When Han Hou heard this, he said angrily: "The two armies are fighting, and the battle formation must be consistent. If they escape, why not escape early?"

Tian Ju was not guilty. He felt that he had done his best and replied: "How to escape early? If you escape early, the army will be destroyed. If the army is destroyed, Han Qi will all fall."

"It was a must-have death, defeat was inevitable, and victory was a blessing. Before the war, I also asked more, who had the plan to break the enemy? However, none of them were. It was not because I was stubborn, but I could do nothing."

"Now that there is no chance of winning, I can only escape."

Han Hou took a deep breath and calmed his mood as much as possible. He also understood that Tian Ju's words were indeed the case. Before the war, no one proposed a better way to defeat the enemy. Only Tian Ju and Xia Si said that he wanted to turn the situation around.

Thinking more deeply, looking at today's battlefield, even if we met with Yang Xia's 30,000 Korean troops and the combat effectiveness shown by the Jiexuan Army today, even if we met, it would be nothing more than persisting for one more day and we would lose sooner or later.

This defeat was due to the fact that South Korea promised Qi to send troops to Si, but in fact the main force of the Mo family was not destined at the moment when they were in Laiwu.

Han Hou did not have the courage to fight one-on-one field with the Mo family in the plains, but he understood that if Qi State destroyed Han, he would not be able to survive, so he fought to the death.

The collapse of the Right Army means that the collapse of the entire army is close at hand.

But if you want to escape at this time, once the defeated army is triggered, no one will escape.

Han Hou said: "Since this is the case, we can only stabilize the occupation and shrink the central army to defend. The Mohist cavalry and infantry behind us need to be defeated. Only in this way can we get rid of the pursuit of the Mohist family and still escape."

"It's just that Haruji is very good at using troops. When he saw us attacking the Mo family cavalry behind Sanliu Society, he must know that our army wants to retreat and must attack fiercely..."

Tian Ju said: "You can only shrink your troops and defend them in front. Never tell the army about escaping, otherwise your morale will collapse."

"The cavalry and stance on the side are difficult to break through without a large-scale attack. If the fierce attack is carried out, it is necessary to know that our army wants to escape, which is impossible to hide. Only our shield will pierce the Mo family's shield before the Mo family's spear is pierced."

After discussing the emperor and the princes finally determined that the situation was going to go and was ready to escape. The news was still under lockdown, and only a few of the trusted nobles knew about it.

The emperor thought to himself that the military formations that Tian Ju used were a blessing in disguise. If he supported the Right Army early, even if he wanted to escape, he would be unable to stand until the front line and be broken through.

Fortunately, there is still an unused reserve team, including 5,000 cavalry, 800 chariots, and some elite warriors, who can be organized to defeat the Mohist cavalry that intercepted the side and back.

In the Mo family formation, Shi was celebrating the victory of the Left Wing with everyone, and they all breathed a sigh of relief and said that the situation was settled.

Before the attack on the left wing was extremely smooth, the infantry of the three brigades of the right wing had already been asked to cooperate with the cavalry to cut into SanliuShe and intercept it.

Since the left wing achieved an unexpected victory and the flanks of the coalition forces collapsed so quickly, the entire tactic changed from luring the enemy into the chest to slamming the enemy from the left to the right.

The battle for Xiaoqiao continues. As long as Xiaoqiao is taken down, the central army of the coalition forces will either collapse by artillery or shrink its forces or retreat to the vicinity of Sanliu Society.

Once the troops shrink too hard and cannot be deployed, the coalition forces will have to be passively beaten.

On the hot air balloon in the formation, the observers watched the situation on the coalition positions through the smoke from the battlefield and widened their eyes.

The abnormal movements of the coalition's companies that had not yet been launched aroused the alert of the observer. He took a picture of the friend who was responsible for recording beside him, handed them over to the telescope, pointed to the distance and said, "Look, they have moved."

The friend beside him glanced at him a few times and said quickly: "So you continue to observe."

He quickly wrote the situation on the paper, waved the red flag in his hand, and threw down the paper covered with lead blocks. The auxiliary soldiers below immediately put the paper away and sent it to the command center.

After handing it over, Shi glanced at it and observed that the enemy's reserve team had moved now, but he couldn't judge the specific movements of the enemy. He just made preparations in advance.

Shi picked up the telescope and observed it, but it was difficult to make a decision now.

There are at least two choices for the coalition, either to let the reserve team go out to defend and let the central army retreat and shrink the defense line; or to prepare to escape.

As for supporting the right wing now, it doesn't make any sense.

There are still enough reserve teams in their hands that have not yet launched an offensive formation and can support and enter the battle at any time.

He was not afraid of the enemy's escape, because once he wanted to escape, it would be a defeat. His enough cavalry would turn the defeat into an annihilation battle, rather than a defeat war.

The Duke of Han and Qi and even the Emperor of Zhou had little significance for whether to escape or not. The Emperor of Zhou did not have such a high appeal. After the battle between Qi and Han, all the field troops were lost, and Qi and Han could enter in an instant.

Soon after, the observer sent a second piece of information, nodded and made a judgment.

Part of the reserves of the coalition forces unfolded forward, as if they were to defend themselves, while the other part maneuvered directly to the side and backward direction. This was obviously to hold on in the front and open a path for the back to escape.

At this time, the battle for the hillside on the side was not over, but the right wing of the coalition forces had basically collapsed, the central army was still dead, and the reinforcements behind did not go too far, but organized a second line of defense with the left wing of the coalition forces as the axis.

Before the war, the plan was to force the coalition forces to divide the troops, relying on the military knights and infantry columns to break through from the center to divide the coalition forces. However, they thought that the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides was too big, and the left wing, which made a feint attack, was progressing too quickly, and it turned out to be a situation of encirclement between the two wings.

Now that the right wing of the coalition forces has collapsed, there are only more than 10,000 reserve troops with combat effectiveness, it is impossible to organize an effective counterattack.

He ordered the Wu Knights and a division's reserve team to march towards the side of Sanliu Society to intercept the coalition forces.

The reserve teams of four brigades arranged in the second line near the left hill are fully supported by the direction of the hill, cooperate with the left wing to quickly take down the hill, and integrate forces to surround the left wing.

The central army began to appropriately shrink its troops and tentatively attack, mainly using artillery bombardment, and withdraw some troops on the front line to organize defense to prevent an unexpected counterattack from the central army.

Although it is unlikely that the coalition forces will organize a counterattack now, Shi still made some preparations with caution.

Sanliu Club side and rear.

The three brigades of more than 4,000 infantrymen who had reached this point had approached the cavalry that had been on the side. Their mission was to cooperate with the cavalry, not for defense, but for attack.
