Chapter 384: The Concubine Gentleman's Golden Drum Crossing (Twenty-five)
The significance of field battles has become greater, and the city defense system must be changed according to the Mohist booklet on geometry and war, and even cannons have become a must-have item for defending the city.
The Mohist family had previously used the ability to defend the city, forcing kings of various countries to pay attention to the opinions of the Mohist family, or the Mohist family had the strength to participate in alliances among various countries.
Now the battle against Vietnam is a reflection of the Mohist field combat capabilities, and this time, King Yi of Yue personally led nearly 50,000 troops to fight.
Although he often said to raise 100,000 troops at this time, the real field elite was only tens of thousands. Yue State was also a thin camel, and it was not a country like Song State.
If this battle was a complete victory, it would seem that it would only defeat 50,000 Yue people, but for all countries in the world, such a righteous army that emphasizes "non-attack" would not be provoked.
Whether it can be beaten is second, but whether the mantis catches cicadas, the oriole may be behind.
Those who serve as scholars do not need to plan a country. What these dead soldiers and disciples who observe the Yishi fight against the Yue people here need to judge is not what impact the Mohist school will have on the world, but just the style of the Yishi fighting.
What they could see was not the overall situation, but the battle of the central army.
There are only a few words to evaluate.
The formation has been in full swing, but the attack is insufficient.
Muskets are better than crossbows, but they cannot be forced into a formation with hundreds of steps.
This is determined by their vision, and all they can see is this.
A few times before, Yue people rushed to the front of the Yishima formation like a tide. It seemed that they were about to break through the Yishima's defense. It was already a bit shaky, but it could not break through. In the end, the Yishima defended the defense line with the "Daitty Formation".
As for whether to win or lose on the battlefield now, they don’t know who is better or worse.
But based on past experience, they can only guess that the outcome is unpredictable now, and it is in a state of anxiety.
Because no matter which side wins or loses, the righteous masters will use them for these people who can be called "elite soldiers".
According to past experience, if there are such seven hundred swordsmen on the side, when they are used, they will either be in danger of the battle or the battle will have a victory.
Indeed, if there were wars in the world in the past, these more than 700 fencing-going golfers often had the effect of determining the outcome.
Not to mention before, even after the reforms of various countries, after Xinling Jun stole the talisman and saved Zhao, he relied on three thousand scholars as the main attack direction and still won a great victory.
But now, in the eyes of Shi, these people are just a group of people who "do not know discipline and may charge without authorization".
Shi did not expect them to win the battle. When the battle on the right wing was the most anxious, Shi thought that this group of people might have a very strong impact, causing some panic and chaos to the Yue people, sharing some pressure for the right wing, and buying more time for the roundabout troops.
Therefore, when the messenger asked these people to attack the Yue people from the right, many people thought that they were the last force to decide the outcome of the battle.
So, this situation occurred on the battlefield.
The brigade-level phalanx of the left wing of the Yishishi began to move forward slowly, and at the same time support the right wing, making an encirclement. However, they moved too slowly, so there was no need to worry about the Yue people.
Four brigades plus five hundred cavalry real hammers are being integrated into the team, preparing to conduct a large encirclement from the left wing, taking advantage of the battlefield mobility to surround all the Vietnamese.
The 7th Brigade on the right wing defeated the Yue people on the right and used four companies to pursue to prevent the collapsed Yue people from gathering again. The remaining six companies launched an attack on the Yue people's flanks, squeezing Yue people.
This is not clear, but he knew that the right wing is facing great pressure now, so he released the seven hundred rangers, hoping that they could attack the Yue people and share some pressure for the right wing.
Shi didn't expect these 700 people to decide the outcome of the battle. He just hoped that their fighting spirit that had been tempered for a long time would be brought to some pressure by the Yue people and share the threats facing the right wing.
However, after these people entered the battlefield, relying on the fighting spirit and confidence they had accumulated before, they would inevitably pose a threat to the right wing of the main force of the Vietnamese.
Shi didn't know that the 7th Brigade of the right-wing righteous army was surrounding the wing of the people, hoping to squeeze the more people's battlefield space to reduce.
I don’t even know that as the 700 people who support the right wing to share the pressure, I will work with the 7th Brigade to compress the battlefield space of the Vietnamese.
But this is not the decisive force.
The real decisive victory was the four brigades and five hundred cavalrymen that the left wing were preparing to encircle.
Now, the opportunity has emerged and the troops have reached their position. While the brigade-level phalanx on the far left begins to move, they are about to unfold, enter the battlefield in a column marching, use the column's speed advantage to browse the flanks and rear paths of the people, and then unfold horizontally.
This is the last chance for the Yue people to retreat. If they still do not make up their minds to retreat within a quarter of an hour, then these Yue people will be completely surrounded.
This quarter of an hour is also the most critical quarter of an hour on the battlefield.
