If you can turn the feint attack into the main attack, that is the ability of the six fingers.

But since he was strategically made a feint, it was impossible for the entire legion to be used to coordinate the actions of the division of the Six Fingers.

The left flank and the central army did not choose as the main direction of breakthrough, and he wanted to concentrate all the remaining artillery, troops and the first division on the right flank of the Qi army, wanting to open the situation from the south side.

After the assignment of the various tasks, the remaining troops began to be deployed, and the 1st Division marched south behind the front, raising its troops to hide behind the woods by the river, waiting for an opportunity.

On the left flank of the Qi army, in order to make a good appearance, several companies of foot knights rode horses to maneuver around the left flank of the Qi army and the central army, dragging branches behind the horses to stir up dust.

The various infantry brigades of the Yi Division began to advance slowly, stopping their whole formations when they were about 300 paces close to the first camp of the Qi army, and began to bombard the few copper cannons of the Qi State before the light copper cannons deployed in each brigade went out of battle.

On the left wing of the Qi army and on the right wing of the righteous division, six fingers were on a dirt slope, observing the movements of the Qi army.

In the first battle of the water, he was an officer at the brigade level, and he could not control the entire flank.

Today's battle was the first time he participated in this decisive battle as the commander of the flank. With his outstanding performance in the two battles of Huangshui and Aid, he can be regarded as a rising star and convincing to everyone, and as the commander of the flank, he is enough to convince the public.

Now there is not much movement on the southern front, and like elsewhere, it is also artillery bombardment, relying on the educational advantages of the Mo family, the quality and quantity of artillery are far superior to that of the Qi Pingyin army, and this slowness has an advantage over the Mo family.

Now the Qi army can't judge the direction of the Mo family's main attack, it seems that the Mo family is on the whole front, but the Qi army should also understand that this is just to maintain the front.

It is impossible for an offensive war to be a full-front assault mode, and it can only rely on the majority of the troops to maintain the front, choose the main direction of the assault, and make a breakthrough in one fell swoop.

Now a brigade under the Six Fingers has advanced to a place about 400 paces below the hillside, and about a hundred paces below the hillside is the first camp of the Qi army.

The Qi army arranged about two brigades on the front of the hillside, and the brigade system of the Qi state was slightly larger than that of the Mo family, and larger than the Zhou brigade, with about two thousand people.

There are also nine bronze cannons on the hillside, which can just bombard the bottom of the hillside, and there is also a brigade of the Qi army on the hillside.

At the foot of the hill, the Qi army had only four cannons, sandwiched between two brigades.

The Qi army had almost no cavalry, and many chariots were piled up in front of the army as materials for the camp.

On both sides of the two Qi brigades under the hillside, there are also other brigades connected, and the six fingers are not too worried about the strategy next to them, as long as their own brigades are allowed to attack, the defensive forces on both sides of the hillside of the Qi army will be overwhelmed.

It's still early, and the six fingers are not in a hurry.

The appropriate side must wait for his side to move, which attracted the attention of the commander of the Qi army, thinking that this direction would be the main attack before launching the attack.

As for when he can be mobilized, he did not give a clear time to let him play freely.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and Shi Ye can only say a general plan, so that the six fingers can do a good job, if it is really all dependent on the herald to deliver the message and command, then it is difficult to seize the opportunity of the battlefield.

He concentrated twelve copper cannons for him, plus the division and brigade level according to the configuration of three small copper cannons for each brigade, there were a total of 27 cannons here.

There are nine guns on the mountain of Qi and four at the bottom of the mountain, and the artillery on the mountain can only support a distance of 100 steps in front of the camp, which cannot prevent the artillery of the Mo family from concentrating to bombard the four guns deployed by the Qi army in front of the formation.

Six fingers calculated, the main force of the first division concentrated on the southern front to prepare for deployment, at least it will take more than half an hour, if he is not sure to attack the hillside in one fell swoop in this direction, then he will have to wait until the first division of the southern front is deployed, he can launch an attack on the hillside, so as to create an opportunity for Shi to be on the southern front.

The Qi army used musketeers and crossbowmen as original archers to suppress the formation. This is different from the Righteous Divisions after the Reform after the Battle of the Righteous Division, where the Infantry now has spearmen as supports, and musketeers as the main output.

If it is a field battle, the Qi army has no advantage, but the Qi army chooses to defend to the death, and it is okay to use a few musketeers and the remaining crossbowmen to overwhelm the formation.

Six Fingers observed the position of the Qi army on the hillside for a long time, as well as the possible support route of the follow-up Qi army, and after making a rough judgment, he called the artillery commander here.

The commander of the artillery was a young man, less than thirty, who belonged to the top of the class after receiving some education in geometry, nine numbers, etc., and was also a new generation that grew up after the Mo family gained a firm foothold in Sishang.

Six Fingers stared at the nine artillery pieces of the Qi army on the hillside and asked, "You knock them out, or force them to move, and the infantry will fully cooperate with you." Where is the best location for you? ”

The young artillery commander pointed to a slightly flat spot in the front and said, "That's the best position." If you are there, you can force the bronze cannon of the Qi army to move to the right. If it's to the left, it's still within our range. If they move to the right, it will be difficult for them to reach the front line, and our infantry can break through from the left without being bombarded by the bronze cannons of the Qi army. ”

Six Fingers looked in the direction he was pointing, this position was indeed very good, slightly to the right relative to the direction of the righteous division's attack, and to the left for the Qi army.

On the right side of the Qi army, there is a phalanx of the Qi army, and if the artillery still wants to continue to bombard the hillside after the transfer, the position of that phalanx needs to be moved.

The Qi army is heavy, and once it moves, there may be problems. Once the artillery of the Qi State was bombarded, they did not dare to deploy too far forward, and the brigade of the Qi people would hinder the deployment of artillery if it did not move.

However, the position given by the artillery commander is actually very close to the front-line camp of the Qi army, which means that the infantry needs to brave the bombardment of nine artillery pieces on the mountain, attack from the left to contain the Qi army, and buy time for the deployment of artillery.

Now that all countries have begun to have strange and all kinds of copper cannons, the righteous master has never been bombarded by other artillery, after all, he only bombarded others before.

Despite the years of rigorous training and discipline, the infantry was sure to be under tremendous pressure when faced with artillery bombardment for the first time.

Six Fingers thought for a moment, and then put the 13th Brigade, the most elite in his division, in the direction of the first wave of attacks to buy time for artillery deployment.

These 13 brigades are the absolute main force in the division, and all assessments have always been superior.

Six Fingers also knew that taking the camp in front of the hillside only opened the way to attack the hillside, and it was not the time to decide the outcome of the battle.

But as long as the artillery can buy time and let them go forward to suppress the Qi army's artillery, then the follow-up infantry will not be bombarded by the Qi army's artillery, and those non-elite brigades can also play a good enough battle in the case of the first battle.

After the mobilization, the six fingers gathered the twelve bronze cannons with a long range and were not attached to the brigade and stood by at any time.

The sappers followed, and once the artillery began to be deployed, they needed to construct artillery positions with shovels and pickaxes in order to prepare for repeated battles down the hillside afterwards.

The remaining artillery was divided into two groups, all of which were assigned to the front line, and they were concentrated to bombard the four bronze cannons deployed in front of the first battalion of the Qi army.

The infantry had already begun to form a formation, quietly waiting after the artillery.

The four artillery pieces in front of the Qi army camp had already begun to bombard, and the distance was still far away, and after a few iron pellets flicked on the dry ground, they flew into the array of the 13th Brigade.

A soldier who was on the battlefield for the first time was a little unlucky, his left foot was directly smashed by a hot iron pellet, and he fell to the ground and howled.

Blood was all over the ground, and the men in the company immediately carried the soldier out as they usually trained, with a doctor behind him.

The people next to him didn't seem to see the blood spilled, and silently made up for the soldier's location.

In front of the formation, the eight bronze cannons that traveled with the division had also been deployed, forming an angle with the seven guns on the side.

Young artillerymen were methodically reloading in front of the shiny bronze cannon with ramrods, vinegar wool wiping the inner chambers, and angled protractors.

After making sure that each gun was adjusted, the observing officer gave the order to open fire.

The distance of more than 200 steps is already the limit for these copper cannons with a small caliber, and it is basically up to luck to hit or not.

But in addition to luck, you can also rely on calculation and experience to make the chance of hitting the target, which is considered very lucky.

With a few bangs, fifteen cannons fired at the same time, and the landing point of the iron pellet was very close to the artillery of the Qi army, but only one hit the frame of the bronze cannon of the Qi army.

The artillery of the Qi people on the opposite side became nervous, originally they were going to bombard the infantry, but in the face of the bombardment of the Mojia artillery, they could only turn the muzzle of the gun and wanted to bombard.

However, after all, it was still much slower, the remaining three cannons were fired once, and the shells were far away from the artillery of the righteous division, and the Qi people had no time to adjust the angle, and there was no support from various mathematical calculations in advance, just by experience.

They wanted to run, but they couldn't, and if they did, the infantry in front of the camp would immediately be subjected to intensive bombardment from the artillery of the righteous division.

But after a few rounds of bombardment, only one of the four guns of Qi in front of the camp remained, and probably finally received the order, and the artillery gave up the cannon and retreated.

Six fingers observed the previous bombardment in the back, and the sound of artillery in the distance was that other divisions were also bombarding the Qi people, and now the artillery sound was no longer symmetrical, and it seemed that the Qi artillery at the front of the whole line could no longer hold on.

Now the twelve copper cannons with a slightly larger caliber are ready on the frame, and the sappers are also communicating with the artillery commander how to build a position for a while, and the front-line bombardment has ended.

Six Fingers was not busy, he was sure that now the commander of the Qi army must not understand what the righteous master wanted to do.

Supposedly, if you want to open a gap, you should concentrate the cannons and bombard them in one place.

And now the small artillery attached to each brigade of the righteous division is assigned in front of the position, and it is directly under the command of each division, and the bombardment is scattered, but the artillery of the Qi State is attacked first.

Six fingers thought, this in the opinion of the commander of Qiren, the righteous division is ready to slowly recommend on the whole line, slowly compress, take advantage of the advantages of artillery, and advance little by little.

This should be what the Qi Commander likes, because this kind of advance is very slow, and he can constantly collect the defeated soldiers in front of him, replace the soldiers in the back, and constantly engage in battles to add fuel to the first camp.

The advantage of this is that the losses of the righteous division will be much smaller: the artillery advances, bombarding the Qi army barracks and phalanxes, and the infantry and other artillery bombards for an hour, and then slowly advances, driving the Qi army that has opened the gap backwards.

This kind of deception is precisely the reason why the small artillery belonging to the brigade level is not concentrated after the two divisions were ordered to deploy beforehand.

In this way, the Qi people feel that although the righteous division must win this battle, the loss of victory must be small, and they cannot fight to the death here: because the Linzi Legion is still there, that is the main force of the Qi army, and if the loss here is too great, even if the battle is won, it will be a strategic failure.

Therefore, the Qi people will believe that the Mo family should adopt this method of the least risk, the least loss, but the slowest speed, make the most use of the advantages of the Mo artillery, and use the method of advancing some distance every day to constantly squeeze the defense range of the Qi people.

Once squeezed to a certain extent, when the mobilization is difficult to unfold, the Qi people will be defeated.

However, Six Fingers understands that this is just deception, and behind this deception, the next onslaught on his side is actually deception.

He was still waiting, still waiting for the other fronts to start slowly advancing, so that the commander of the Qi people mistakenly thought that the Mo family would win by slowly advancing, and began to mobilize the follow-up troops to disperse to various parts of the defense line to facilitate support, he would act.

The whole line is advancing is virtual, and he waits until the Qi people think that the righteous division wants to advance on the whole line and start to mobilize and storm the hillside or the virtual, the real reality is on the southern front where it is suitable.

So, Six Fingers ordered: "The infantry advance one hundred and twenty paces, wait for the brigade artillery to follow, and continue to bombard the Qiren camp." The infantry do not storm, wait for orders, cover the artillery. If the Qi people attack from the base, don't chase them, just shoot a salvo to drive them away. You are not allowed to be impatient, you are not allowed to attack, even if the Qi people are shelled and chaotic, you are not allowed to advance without waiting for orders! ”
