Chapter 140 The Battle of Nanji Water (1)
As the gunshots were heard, the propaganda sounds from the Mohist family were covered.
All you need to say has been said, so there is no need to shout anything.
There is no narrow sense of nation under the feudal system, and it is impossible to produce, because the economic foundation determines that there is no soil for the existence of the concept of nation. Some things are not born and natural, not in Qi, not in Chu, not in Qin, Zhao, Han and Wei.
The Mohist school did not instigate anything, but was just saying some facts. Just as someone asked Mozi why he slandered Confucianism, what Mozi said was that there was no one, that was that slander. I said there was something, that was just a statement. How could it be said that it was slander?
There is indeed a big problem with the feudal system and the feudal system that it accompanied it has a state, the doctor has a family, and the scholar has a minister and the children of the clerk. The reality sang in "The Unknown East" is not the beauty of the aristocrats under the feudal system, but the excitement after suffering and oppression. That is the reality in the eyes of the common people.
This is a song belonging to the Qi people, and it is also a song belonging to the world. Singing this song means that the Mohist school is ready to break with all the old things in the world after this battle.
In the military tent of the charity commander, he listened to the sparse sound of muskets from the opposite side, smiling.
The military chiefs are basically near their respective positions, and now all the adjutants in the military tent are all, so the main thing is to unify the deployment of tomorrow's decisive battle.
Now everyone has seen the meaning clearly, and what needs to be improved is some details.
"You have also seen that the Pingyin Legion cannot be our opponent, and victory is inevitable."
"But how to win and how to win at the lowest cost is the key to the problem."
Facing the officers, Shi once again emphasized: "We won the Pingyin Legion, but we suffered a lot of losses and needed to be repaired and it was difficult to fight again. Then in the overall situation, it would not be a victory, but a failure."
"We will also capture Pingyin and Liangfu, intercept the Linzi army and win the battle. If the Linzi army is undefeated, we will not be considered a victory."
"We have been ambushed by five sides this time. We will be weak within ten years after the battle. Wu Qi entered Qin, Wei Zhao turned against each other, and Chu took back Chen territory. The Wei people dared not use troops on Si anymore."
"Qi State is the key to the matter of Huaibei in Si. A Qi State, which has been weak for five to ten years, is the basis for our future victory."
"In the battle tomorrow, the six-finger attack was to allow Doctor Pingyin to attract the remaining reserve troops and elite troops in his hands to the north. I took the First Division, cavalry and the remaining artillery to pry open the defense line of Qi in the south."
"As soon as they are mobilized, we have enough time to attack before they react. When they react, we will suffer the least losses, otherwise the reserve team and elites are still there, and we will face their reassembly counterattack."
"This is not only the matter of the Six Fingers, but it has something to do with everyone. If you attack hard, the feint attack on the Six Fingers will not be considered by Doctor Pingyin to be the main attack and transfer the elites. If the Six Fingers attack on the Six Fingers, I will face the situation of rushing in, and the reserve team and elites of the Qi army will be added to form a battle. I cannot open up the situation in one fell swoop, and our losses will be greater than three or five thousand. Then don't think about intercepting the Linzi Army. I can only think about making peace with Qi after capturing Pingyin. The main force of Qi is still there. When we are dealing with matters such as Huaibei, Vietnam, Song, etc., we must worry that Qi will take action behind the scenes."
"Do you understand?"
Everyone nodded and understood the meaning of this. If they were not attacking on their side, Doctor Pingyin would not have a sense of urgency or urgency. The fierce feint attack on the six fingers would not make Doctor Pingyin determined to fight for the hills with the reserve troops and the elite private soldiers around them. The main attacker here might face the situation where the Qi people were so anxious that they could not quickly collapse the Qi army.
In today's battle, no one doubted that victory belonged to them, and all they had to consider was casualties.
Seeing everyone nodding, he said again: "We should pay attention to the things that Xuanyi Department preached today. We should not kill anyone who raises his hands, and not kill any of them. Even if they are red from the eyes, the representatives of Mozhe in each company must pay attention to the rules and principles."
"If you have the world in your heart, you must have the spirit of caring for the world. The Duke of Qi can chariot our people and kill surrendered prisoners, but we cannot."
"Since we say that the world's Qi, Chu, Yan and Han are all people in the world, then we are also people in the world. How can we kill our own people?"
"The sin does not lie in the forced soldiers, but in the lords and officials who launched an unjust war. This must be paid attention to."
After repeated instructions, I saw that there was nothing to give me again. I looked at the map again and let everyone disperse and conveyed it to the military chief after returning. I must unify my determination and fight tomorrow's decisive battle.
…………
The next morning, there was no wind or fog, and it was still a good weather.
On the north side of the battlefield, accompanied by the orders of the messengers, yesterday's same routine began to attack again.
During the melee yesterday afternoon, the engineers had already dug up the artillery positions at their designated locations. Once the twelve long-barrel copper cannons were unfolded, they could drive away or suppress the nine cannons from Qi on the top of the mountain.
However, the position is still between the two armies, and infantry is needed to attract artillery fire from the hills to prepare for the artillery development.
Six Fingers had clearly told the brigade commander of the 13th Brigade of the combat intention, and did not need to hide anything, and clearly told them that they were going to exchange elites for artillery deployment.
This time, it will be more fierce than yesterday's attack. You must directly break through the crumbling camp of Qi people yesterday and directly threaten the hills, so that the cannons on the hills can be ignored: attacking the artillery, the 13th Brigade may directly rush to the hills; attacking the 13th Brigade, once the long-barrel copper cannon of the Yishi Division is unfolded, the nine cannons will be forced to be withdrawn.
To make the people of Qi feel the pressure, the 13th Brigade must exert its momentum, otherwise there will be no chance for the Qi army to lose sight of one thing.
With the sound of the trumpet, Liuzhi solemnly said to the brigade commander of the 13th Brigade: "This time, the entire division will cooperate with you. All the 15 brigade bronze cannons will support you. We will immediately defeat the Qi people behind the first camp, and then make a stance to attack the hills. As for whether to attack with all your strength, wait for orders."
"Your brigade will suffer a lot of casualties, but if you have a lot of casualties, the entire division will suffer a little, and the entire legion will suffer a little. The war is so cruel."
The brigade coach of the 13th Brigade nodded and said, "It will definitely be done well. But our brigade on both wings must also keep up."
Liujie nodded and said, "Don't worry. If you take down the camp, the company will be divided over your wings, and the remaining ones will confront the Qi army's phalanx to strengthen your strength. If you take down the hillside, then the Qi people on both wings will naturally retreat, and there will be no threat to both wings. Regardless of whether it is true or false, you will be the key here."
While speaking, the messenger ran from the south and said, "Shishou ordered the artillery to bombard the first, and the attacks began in each department. Shishou said, once the Yuzhong arrived, your division would break through the first camp of the Qi people within two quarters of an hour, so that Doctor Pingyin was sure that we were the main attack on the hillside."
"If everything goes well, at the latest, Shi Shuai will have a general attack."
The beginning of the yuzhong is nine o'clock.
At this time, use a leaking pot to count the time, divide the day into 100 portions, each portion is one quarter of an hour. It is not the fifteen minutes of later generations, but it is very close, about fourteen minutes and twenty seconds.
The army has various timing methods, and they must carry both a crawler and a sundial to determine the time.
Liu Finger looked at the sun. At this time, there was about an hour left before the general attack, and the artillery soldiers were still warming up.
There are too many factors that cannot be determined on the battlefield, but the overall plan still needs to be. If the time is set, it means that when the time comes, no matter whether the Qi people are mobilized, the southern line will launch a general attack. In fact, it is also telling the Six Fingers: Once the time comes, you must invest all of them. If the Qi people are not deceived, then you will become the main attacker.
He calculated the time, signed the name from the commander's command, and signaled that he had received the order, so he asked the brigade commander of the 13th Brigade to prepare first, and then he adjusted the deployment.
He kept the two brigades on the left and right wings still, and all the fifteen brigade bronze artillery were deployed to the attack direction of the 13th Brigade. He did not leave any reserve team, but placed the remaining two brigades in the division behind the 13th Brigade. Once a problem arises, all of them must be pressed.
The staff officers took out the sundial and the water leak. The sun shadow moved slowly on the copper base with the occasional sound of cannons. Except for the silence around the six fingers of the cannons, the officers were staring at the water leak and the sundial.
When the Sun Ying finally walked to the word "媺zhong", the entire Yishi's front was like a puppet controlled by a rope, and suddenly became restless.
Next to the bronze cannon that was originally slow to overheat and exploded, the officers shouted loudly, and the gunners' movements were several times faster. After several rounds of rapid fire, the formation formed between the two people had already appeared.
The whistle sounded, and the 13th Brigade began to move forward quickly, and the brigades on both wings followed closely with them, and the drums became more and more impatient.
The twelve hidden long-barrel copper cannons are ready and the passage is flat.
The front line looked as strong as yesterday, but it was more fierce and more impatient than yesterday's offensive. After the musket wheels were fired on the 13th Brigade, the spearman began to attack.
The brigades on both wings each divided into two companies to support the attack of the 13th Brigade from the side, and the rest were anxious to fight with the Qi people.
The 13th Brigade did not hold back any longer, and used the gap opened in the Qi army formation by cannons and muskets to launch an attack.
Six fingers observed the situation from the telescope. Just as the Qi army's army had just begun to show a full-scale retreat, they waved to the trumpeter beside them and said, "Blow the trumpet and let the artillery set off, and the Qi people can't hold on."
What the battlefield commander needs is to respond immediately, that is, to grasp the timing. If it is too late, the Qi people will find their intentions; if it is too early, the 13th Brigade will not attract the attention of the Qi army artillery.
It seems very simple to deal with, if the timing is not well grasped, the effect will be greatly reduced.
