It was already rainy in May and June, even if the prisoners came to Wuguan from Guanzhong to transport grain, and there was a convenient way to gallop, but no matter how good the road was, it was also an earthen road, and the rammed earth pestle was not as good as the road rollers of later generations.

Therefore, no matter how deep the ruts of the six-foot car after the same track were rolled out in the past, when the rain poured out, hundreds of thousands of people stepped back and forth, and there was no shadow, and the bulky carts drawn by oxen and horses were often stuck in the mud, and sometimes they were blocked for several miles, and they needed to be pushed to get out, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

On the other hand, the Southern Army, in Wuguan Dongdao, where the road conditions were worse after the rain, was able to rely on 100,000 servants, wooden oxen and horses, and the food was endless, and this incident dealt a big blow to the morale of the Northern Army.

After listening to the scout's description of the convenience of the miraculous device, Wang Li was a little greedy, so he asked if the gong could make it.

"Of course you can!"

The public has been with the ink for two hundred years, and if the other party can do it, he must say that he can do it himself.

Gong Yi bragged about not playing drafts: "In the past, Mo Zhai used to chop wood as a harrier, and it was completed in three years, and he was defeated in one day. And my ancestor lost the class, and also made wooden kites to peek into Song City, which was completed in one month, and it was not bad in three days. It is self-evident which of the skills of the Mo family and the Gongyi clan is higher or lower! ”

"The general only needs to let people capture a wooden ox and Trojan horse, after I dismantle it, I will definitely be able to understand the mystery, after the remake, Hugh said that he travels dozens of miles a day, and a hundred miles is not a problem!"

Now Wang Li can make a difficulty, the southern army is holding the power of a great victory, the morale is booming, the northern army does not even dare to go out of the pass at the moment, can only wait in the pass, and how can he have the ability to attack the people who are under the protection of 100,000 southern troops and calmly transport grain?

"There's no urgency."

Wang Li nodded and said optimistically: "If you can defeat the black thief in this battle and make them retreat to Nanyang, you will definitely be able to capture one or two heads!" ”

……

In the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army outside Wuguan, there was also a dialogue between the commander and the craftsman.

"Ruguan Wuguan guards the palace, how is it?"

Heifu was busy all night, and he didn't even care about eating the morning food, so he hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of vegetarian porridge, and while wiping the porridge from his mouth, he asked the ink master Ah Zhong.

Ah Zhong's face was serious: "There are canals, cars, stacks, buildings, flying chongs, crossbow houses, etc. at the head of the city. ”

Heifu frowned: "Could it be that the other party also has the help of the ink master?" The Mo family is a traitor? ”

"It can't be the Ink One."

Ah Zhong has great trust in his brothers in his own organization: "Since Fusu ran out, the Mo people who still stayed in Xianyang have almost been wiped out, they would rather die than turn their backs on Zi Mozi, and the person who helped the king leave the palace at the head of the city may be a public loser!" ”

Ah Zhong then told the century-old grievances between the Mo family and the Gongyi clan, as well as the fact that after Qin ruled the world, he also recruited the Gongyi clan to live in the customs and included it in the jurisdiction of the Shaofu.

"It's not that enemies don't get together, in the past, Lu attacked and defended, and today Mo is attacking and reluctant."

Hefu also found it funny that the ink man and the male attack receiver were swapped positions.

"Since they are so law-abiding, can the various instruments you made for me still achieve miraculous results?"

When Ah Zhong was in South Vietnam, he still adhered to the principle of "non-attack" of the Mo people, and was unwilling to be a weapon of killing, but after learning that the Xianyang Mo family was completely destroyed, he was persuaded by Heifu to "end the civil war as soon as possible, and the world will be able to shed less blood", so he made a rhubarb crossbow with a double range for Heifu, and made meritorious contributions in the two battles of Xiangyang and Suixian.

But he has always been humble, and unlike the public loser who likes to brag, Ah Zhong replied honestly:

"Among the inkers, each has its own strengths and weaknesses. I am ingenious and can make paddlewheels and wheelbarrows, but I am not very good at making siege weapons. The crossbow of the rhubarb, the giant wood and flying stone, although the range and strength have been changed, but the Wuguan has also been reinforced, and it is still the technique of the three-fold soil offered by the prince back then, and the wall is thick and strong, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through easily......"

Sanhe soil was made by Heifu and Zhang Han, and it was dedicated when Wang Jian made a wall to defend the Chu army, and it was used in the southern expedition to Baiyue, and set up more watchtowers in Lingnan, so that the Yue people could hit their heads and bleed.

Now, the retribution is not happy, and the hanging that Heifu opened back then has become an obstacle in front of him.

In the face of such a strong city, the improved siege weapon can only achieve quantitative change, and it is difficult to achieve qualitative change.

Ah Zhong's voice changed again: "However, in my opinion, it is still difficult for the enemy army to hold the Wuguan!" ”

"Why?" Hefu asked him.

Ah Zhong said: "Zi Mozi once said that if you want to hold a city, you must have fourteen conditions!" ”

"The thickness of the city is high, and the moat is deep and wide; Garrison and profit, building tearing, these two also; Corn wages and food are enough to last more than three months, and these four are also; There are many people, and these five are also; The graves of the soldiers' parents are in the graves, and they can't be guarded, and these six are also; There is the salvation of the princes of the four neighbors, from the seven; After the mountains, forests and grasses of Ashikaga, this eight also; The terrain is difficult to attack and easy to defend, this nine also. ”

"The Lord is wise and courageous, so that there are no worries ahead, this ten also; The guard will be good at fighting, knowing himself and knowing the enemy, this eleven also; The reward is credible and the punishment is severe, and this twelve is also; up and down the relatives, the people and, this thirteen also; The infinite happiness of the people in the rear, and the same hatred as the king, this fourteen also. ”

Mozi is indeed powerful, and these conditions include not only military, but also domestic affairs and economy. The outcome of a war is determined by the overall national strength, including military strength, logistical supply, popular support, and diplomatic situation.

Ah Zhong continued: "If these fourteen are possessed, the city can be defended. If there is no one of the fourteen, the good cannot keep it. ”

He spread his hands and said: "Today's enemy has the first nine, but there is no last five, the second is stupid and cruel, unpopular; The king is inseparable from the name of his ancestors and fathers, and he has no skills; Xianyang's rewards and punishments are unknown, and he has repeatedly broken his promises; If you don't believe in it, and the people are complaining, how can you keep it? ”

Heifu laughed: "The city is not high, the pool is not deep, the military revolution is not strong, and the rice millet is not much...... Those who wait for ink are rarely the same as those of Confucianism. ”

But in the final analysis, the siege of the city still has to rely on human lives and weapons to fight and fight, just relying on the mouth of benevolence and righteousness, the strong wall cannot collapse by itself.

Heifu knocked on the table: "Then what do you think our army will lose if it attacks with the current equipment?" ”

"The city of three miles, the Guo of seven miles, the number of killings must be counted in tens of thousands, and the few must be counted in thousands, and then the city can be obtained."

Ah Zhong showed an unbearable look: "Today, the enemy has imitated the law of Zi Mozi's city defense, and there are many flying stones behind the city, and there are crossbows, if I attack, even if there is a crossbow of rhubarb and improved flying stones to help, I am afraid that I will have to storm for half a month, killing and injuring 10,000 people, before I can pull out the city." ”

Heifu was silent, and in the "Wu Sun Tzu" that he was familiar with, Sun Wu always emphasized "attacking the city for the bottom", because in the era of cold weapons, the siege of the city was often accompanied by a very high and terrible casualty rate. Later, with the emergence of the Mo family, the city defense technology was improved to the peak of the era, and the siege of the city became more difficult, especially in dangerous places, which often required ten times more people to break through water attacks and sieges.

"Those who kill one-third of the soldiers and the city is not uprooted, this attack is also a disaster, even if I work hard to break through the martial pass, there are still 100,000 people waiting to work after the pass, and it is not good for me to be defeated in the martial pass for a long time."

Heifu shook his head, and suddenly smiled: "Our army has been in Danyang for more than a month, and at that time, the Dongmen Leopard tried to attack Wuguan, but I refused, so all the generals said that I was not in a hurry when I was facing the enemy." ”

"But actually, no one is more anxious than me."

"I heard that Xiang Yu led 50,000 troops of Chu, Han, and Wei, and it has broken into Gao, and the soldiers are coming to Hangu Pass."

You can doubt Xiang Tiedan's IQ and EQ, but you can't doubt his strength and military skills.

I can't help but worry that the Chu people will burn and the poor scorched earth situation will reappear.

It takes a hundred years and a thousand years to build the edifice of civilization, but it only takes a fire to destroy it.

"And Wang Li, the commander of the Northern Army on the opposite side, was supposed to guard the line of the Great Wall in Shangjun and Shuofang to defend against Hulu, but now he was transferred south by Huhai, and the Great Wall has been empti......ed."

The wolf cub that Heifu failed to kill with all his efforts back then has finally grown into a vicious wolf with sharp teeth and claws, and it is said that Mao Dun has gone south from Mobei, which will probably be dripping saliva, looking at Xinqinzhong!

"So I'm in a hurry."

Heifu touched the blood blisters on the corner of his mouth, he was actually in a hurry.

"I'm afraid that I will be one step too late, Xianyang is already a sea of fire, documents, books, and the remains of three generations have been destroyed, Guanzhong has turned into a mound and ruins, and millions of people have been displaced."

"I'm afraid that it will be a step too late, Saibei will be taken by the Huns, 300,000 border people will be in the dust, and everything that countless people have achieved by going to the soup and fire back then will be in vain!"

"If these things happen, Heifu will really become a sinner in the world!"

"So I'm in a hurry, in order to break through this level, I will do whatever it takes!"

"But I also have to pretend to be stable, I can't let our army suffer heavy losses because of the rush to raise troops, and half of the soldiers will be killed, even if Wang Li is successfully defeated, it will be difficult to cope with the next possible series of battles with the Chu army and the Hu people, and the end of the strong crossbow cannot be pierced......"

Heifu rarely confided in his heartfelt words, Ah Zhong was quite touched, and arched his hand: "The handsome man really cares about the world, loves the people and is loyal." ”

"Loyal ......"

Heifu sighed: "Although I am called Wuzhong, no one has used this word to describe me for a long time. ”

Ah Zhong solemnly said: "The Confucian scholar scolded the ink man as a person who has no king and no father, and is disloyal and unfilial, but the ink man also pays attention to loyalty, but it is different from the loyalty that ordinary people say." ”

"It is also said to be loyal to the strong and low for profit. It is not good for the weak family, and it is enough to enter the tolerance, and it is also loyal. ”

"Follow the way of Zi Mozi and do not deviate, this so-called small loyalty; If you think it is good for the world and fight hard, if it is not good for the country, you must stop it, this so-called great loyalty! ”

Heifu was happy and said secretly: "Are you loyal to the organization and the people...... This is really Mojia. ”

If that loyalty had a color, it would be black.

It's the black of the inker.

It is the black of the soapy clothes of the Qin officials.

It is also the black on the top of the head of tens of millions of Qian!

"Well said."

Heifu laughed:

"That's why this battle can't be fought according to the usual offensive methods of the past."

"That's why I've endured it until now."

He looked outside.

"Wait for the person who should come!"

As soon as the words fell, the camp tent was opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a plain robe, who was dusty, but could not hide the bones of the fairy wind, walked into the camp and bowed to the ground.

"Prince! It's too late! ”

But it was Xu Fu, a warlock who had been concentrating on "alchemy" in Wudang Mountain on the orders of Heifu!

"Ready?" Heifu looked at Xu Fu and asked him to excuse him.

I haven't seen him for half a year, Xu Fu's ears have become a little back, and Heifu asked twice before he heard clearly, but his eyes flashed with excitement.

"That's it! This battle will surely shock the world! ”

Heifu nodded in satisfaction, and the anxiety that had been rarely revealed completely disappeared, turning into confidence, even inflated......

"Hahahaha."

"Goodness, great goodness! In this way, Wuguan is at your fingertips! ”

"In this battle, this commander, you have to fight bloodlessly!"

The conversation between Heifu and Xu Fu, Ah Zhong was stunned throughout the whole process, he didn't know that while Heifu asked Ah Zhong and the craftsmen to build traditional siege equipment, he also gave Xu Fu a secret mission.

"Soldiers are not bloody, what should the prince do?" Ah Zhong was full of doubts.

Heifu smiled and said, "Just wait and see." ”

"From today on, the attack and defense of the city will be completely different from the era of Mozi!"

Heifu hid it and didn't say anything, and only after Ah Zhong left, did he turn around, not ashamed, but smiled proudly:

"I'm sorry, little Wang."

"This is not for myself......"

"It's for the people of the world!"
