Chapter 271 The Battle of the Two Sons (8)

The changes in the right wing of the coalition forces are not possible to transmit the news to the command centers of both sides in real time.

The large number of second-tier and reserve teams prepared by the Central Army, or the advantages of military strength under the width of the front line, made him in an absolute initiative.

Whether the coalition forces allow the right wing to collapse or hurriedly allocate troops to support the right wing at this time, under the absolute disadvantage of military strength, there are loopholes everywhere.

The Mohist left-wing attack was too thorough. If the enemy counterattacked successfully, it would be very dangerous. However, the coalition forces could not bring up enough cavalry, and the infantry close to the right wing of the coalition forces would not be able to launch a full-line counterattack.

I am still waiting, waiting for the situation to change.

The flank of the right wing hill of the coalition forces.

The infantry of the two brigades that were gathering intensively had already been deployed into dense columns. The small brigade artillery and cavalry cannons that were quickly following were deployed three or four hundred steps in front of the coalition formation, and the cavalry gathered and waited on the back.

The left-wing chief general of the Mo family was not in a hurry. He knew that he had not many reserve teams, but he also knew that there were still a large number of reserve teams in his hands that had not yet been launched and could be engaged in battle at any time.

Besides, the weather is in good condition today, and the rising hot air balloons can see the situation on the battlefield. If the enemy mobilizes, the central army will definitely respond.

After all, the purpose of the left wing attack first is to have two possible opportunities. Whether it is division of troops or not, the advantage of the central army can regard the opponent's response as a flaw.

In terms of military tactics, the practice of the left-wing chief general of the Mohist school is actually not in line with the old military tactics. When the two armies deploy, they need to test the opponent's virtuality and reality first, and then they can deploy all their troops after they are sure of the correctness. Because when all attack formations face the opponent's possible counterattack, it is easy to cause collapse and lead to the defense of no soldiers.

But at this specific situation, the left wing's method of discharging almost all its troops against the military strategy has had a good effect.

Those light small cannons fear the most are the enemy's cavalry, especially the cavalry that raided from the side. However, now the cavalry on the right wing of the coalition forces have long been driven out of the battlefield, and these gunners are cheering up.

After a quick adjustment, the iron bullets kept falling into the coalition forces' formation.

After a brief preparation, the two infantry brigades of the Mohist family, which had dense formations, launched the first wave of attacks.

The elite first-row grenades who can disperse combat will approach the coalition infantry formation in groups of five or three, and use the scattered formation to consume the opponent's muskets, causing panic and chaos to the opponent.

The infantry that lined up to attack followed behind, and these harassing grenades in the camp, as scattered soldiers, put great pressure on the coalition infantry.

The coalition grenade gunmen who had already loaded and prepared looked nervously at the group of the Mo family's first camp grenades who were scattered and approached in groups of three or five, wondering if they should shoot.

The officers of the coalition forces were also hesitating.

If you fire now, you will fight back against the elite soldiers who first entered the camp in groups of three or five in front, and the muskets on your side may still be loading after the infantry formation that followed the rear. But if you do not shoot and counterattack, these elite infantry soldiers who first arrived will definitely rely on their own means to cause damage to the military formation.

After the reform of the military system of Qi State, there were both pros and cons.

In the past, in this case, the nobles could send their elite soldiers to follow the slaves and followers, and not rely on their formation to attack from the formation, and use scattered soldiers to suppress the opponent's first camp.

But now there are no slaves and servants around the low-level nobles who can be mobilized privately. Although the combat effectiveness of the entire Qi State has been enhanced after the reform of the military system, it is okay to fight Wei and Han because of the lack of more military cooperation. The more advanced tactical system of the Mo family is a little overwhelmed.

The two brigades on the Mohist side are not on the front line.

In front are the elite troops of the camp who are scattered to lure the opponent to open fire, or after getting close, they will cause great damage to the dense spearmen of the Qi army with iron thunder.

Behind it is a brigade that is spread out as a horizontal line, each company is arranged in four arrays, and ten companies are arranged in sequence.

The second brigade forms a brigade-level column in the central direction, with two companies in a group, and five companies forming waves.

This offensive formation is not very suitable for all battlefields, but it is very suitable for when there are no artillery and cavalry are driven away.

If the coalition forces had artillery, the dense columns in the central direction would probably suffer heavy losses before they could reach the coalition forces.

If the coalition forces had cavalry, and the weak fronts with both wings could maximize their firepower, they would probably only need five hundred cavalry to break through the flanks.

However, the right wing of the coalition forces had nothing at this time.

In the Qi army formation, the convex gunmen watched the elite troops of the first camp move around seventy or eighty steps ahead of them, but the officer had not issued a shooting order.

Light iron bombs kept falling in the formation. Although they did not have the power of those legions with heavy artillery, they could only kill three or two people at a time, their morale was still very low.

In particular, the Mo family's gunners did not bombard the loose mezzanine gunners, but continued to bombard the densely arranged spearmen. Each bombardment of iron bullets would create a gap in the densely formed spearmen formation.

In the central direction, the five first-row grenade soldiers who were closest to the Qi army were only sixty steps away from the Qi army. About one hundred and twenty steps behind them was the central column of the Mohist left wing, which was constantly approaching, but had not exchanged fire yet.

These five soldiers who first entered the camp were very skilled and brave, and were not afraid of the Qi army's mechatronic gunmen sixty steps away, because they were in front of the Qi army's spearmen.

In order to prevent the Mohist cavalry assault, the Qi army integrated several companies' spearmen together to form an array, and the contrailer spread out on the two wings of the spearmen.

A distance of sixty steps is not so easy to hit without long-term training, especially when facing a scattered soldier who first climbed the camp with a small number of people, a slight activity will lead to a failure in shooting.

Moreover, once the Qi army shoots, the cowlin gun that has a loading time of nearly one minute is likely to cause them to load when the main Mo family's horizontal column approaches, which will be fatal.

The officers of Qi army understood that relying on this point, the elite troops who became scattered soldiers, were not enough to break their defenses, so they could only endure the musketeers' shooting.

The soldiers who first entered the camp raised their muskets when they approached about 60 steps, and used the gunshot technique and the quick loading of elites that they had trained for many years to continue to harass the frontiers of the Qi army.

These city soldiers who first entered the camp and were born in the Mo family, and those sailors who jumped into the hands of the navy who fought with the navy were considered to be of the same sect.

In land battles, they were not only the first to climb the city, but also the killer who threw the opponent's line with iron thunder when shooting in an array.

Originally, when the mesh gun was just ready, these people used a mesh gun with a slow loading speed when they were lined up against each other, but heavy bows, large crossbows, short swords and iron thunder.

Originally, they needed to carry a hard bow, approach the enemy's battle formation, shoot with heavy arrows at a distance of twenty or thirty steps, or throw explosive iron thunder, thereby tearing open the enemy's front line, and then take advantage of the situation to rush into the enemy's formation to fight with a short sword, preparing to open a gap for subsequent main formation attacks.

Now they are equipped with flint rifles, iron thunder and daggers, and use flint rifles at a distance of sixty or seventy steps, relying on personal technical harassment.

After several random shots, a soldier who first entered the camp handed his musket to his comrades to his comrades to his comrades to load them. He took out two iron thunders that were rubbing against copper wire and purlin's pink from his body. After pulling his hair, he quickly ran forward a few steps. When he approached about forty or fifty steps away from the other party, he quickly threw the iron thunder out.

The spearmen of Qi army, who had been under shelling for a period of time, watched as the black spots in the air became larger and larger, and finally fell into the formation.

boom……

The "Ten Thousand Enemies" filled with gunpowder and iron fragments exploded in the formation. With such a dense formation, four people were injured and one person was killed in an instant.

Fortunately, the formation was too dense, but these five people blocked the explosive power. The remaining people were not injured except to be scared to death.

The elite troops who first entered the camp used this method to continue to harass the formation.

After several throws, the grenade gunman from unknown company finally couldn't help but choose to shoot and fight back.

The gunshot immediately triggered a chain reaction. The crackling sounds continued to sound, and several grenade soldiers who were too close to the camp were hit, but for such a loose formation, the effect of the convex gun was not good.

The noble officers of Qi army in the formation shouted loudly.

"Who fires the gun? Whoever fires the gun if he doesn't have to order? Recharge! Quickly!"

In the smoke of gunpowder, even if you know who fired the gun first, you can no longer investigate it at this time and can only make up for it.

But after the gunshot, another accident occurred.

The spearmen who were hit by artillery and harassed by the grenades of the first camp of the three companies could not bear it. When the gunfire sounded, they launched the attack without obeying orders.

Someone shouted, "I would rather die on the way to charge than be a target here!"

These resonated with the company's comrades. Three spearmen, now a dense array of artillery and grenades, rushed out without orders and rushed towards the thirty or so camps on the front.

The Qi general who presided over the thousands of Qi troops on the flanks cursed: "How can such soldiers fight? Our army is defeated!"

The spearmen of the three companies in the central direction launched a charge regardless of the orders, and a huge gap appeared in the entire front immediately. Qi Jiang had no reserve team to move.

Seeing that the spearman in the center had already rushed for more than twenty steps, he had no choice.

The number of elite troops in the harassed camp was scattered and could fight independently. They retreated one after another and fought back from time to time.

The company that was assaulting the back column still listened to the drum beats, kept pace with the companies on both wings, and advanced slowly.

The entire flank battle was first started in the center.
