Chapter 307: The Benevolence of Lixin City (5)
Taking advantage of the fact that there is no tragic blood feud between the countries and the Warring States, and the concept of the world that there is still Zhou Li under the whole world, Shi quietly propagated a wave of theories that are universal to the world, which does not violate the harmony at all.
When the Qin State began to mobilize the whole country with military merits, it was difficult to convince others of this set of theories, after all, when it came to their own interests, the country was bound to the soldiers who wanted military merits, and the country was not just a country of nobles.
In foreign wars, when the nobles eat meat and the commoners drink soup, they can promote fighting for the country, and they can also completely turn the concept of the world into a situation where the seven kingdoms are fighting and hating each other.
When the people of Niu Langyi first heard these truths, they inevitably felt resentment in their hearts, and they realized that the obligations that had been taken for granted for hundreds of years were not so taken for granted.
Although they have resentment, they are helpless, because they still don't know what to do, and they don't know how to resolve it.
Everyone thought to themselves, fortunately, these Mo families said that the truth of the Mo family can solve these problems, and it will be a long time in the future, and they can always listen to them slowly.
He got up, took out a pen and paper, and asked for the bonds to be checked, and at the same time to select some farmers who owed too much debt, and recruit them to become the rudimentary firearms unit guarding the barns.
The members of the Xuanyi Department who came with him did not rush to preach for the time being, anyway, they were forced by feudal obligations and previous habitual labor, and these people had to organize and build the city wall on the grounds of "Lu Yanggong's order".
For these debtors, the idea of fit is also simple. It is theoretically natural to repay debts, but if the vast majority of people in a city need to borrow from time to time, it is a problem in the world.
The next day, Shi began to gather the people of Niu Langyi and organize them according to the way the Mojia guarded the city and organized them.
To build a rammed earth city wall, the Mo family has a tradition of division of labor and cooperation, and the more than 40 Mo people who followed it are also good at this.
Niu Langyi is not big, much smaller than the "30,000 households" that Mozi is good at defending. It was the first time that so many people had been organized, but fortunately, the rest of the Mo family was also familiar with these operations.
After grouping, it is appropriate to plan a series of matters such as the width, angle, and protrusion of the new city wall.
Before the excavation of the earth began to be repaired, firecrackers were lit in the city, and in the panic of the people, gunpowder was a weapon that appeared in the cow barn, so that the people would not panic when they heard such strange sounds.
The more indebted light and strong people who were concentrated also began to carry out simple firearms training.
Under the tradition of the unity of peasants and soldiers, these people have more or less received a certain amount of military training, and in winter military exercises, at least the queue can still be lined up, but it cannot be neat and cannot guarantee that it will be neat when advancing and retreating. By this standard, it would take a whole team to beat the drum for ten steps in order to maintain the formation.
After the distribution of simple hand cannons and other firearms, it is appropriate to train these people personally, and it is not required that these people can fight the enemy in the field, but the content of the training is much simpler if they defend the city.
It was nothing more than loading, aiming, and ignition, and the sound of ping-pong began to echo in Niu Langyi.
The rest is to understand the command, and nothing else can be trained in a short period of time.
As for those cannons, the disciples of the Mo family will go into battle shirtless, they understand discipline, and this time it is also to train their gunners in actual combat.
At the same time, the people outside the Niu Langyi also began to concentrate in the city, according to the rules of the Mo family to guard the city, strictly guard the passage within 50 miles, capture spies, and establish a lookout village.
In July, a second shipment of weapons and gunpowder arrived from Peixian, followed by more than twenty ink warriors, who needed to go into battle and control the artillery themselves if necessary.
The Mo family originally had bed crossbows and retort machines, and the effect when defending the city was actually similar to that of cannons, disrupting the opponent's archer formation, crushing the enemy's chariots, and so on.
Along with this, there was also the method of the giant and the seven enlightenments who agreed to the appropriate people, personally commanding the defense of Niu Yanyi, but not to be captured alive so as not to give Wei Han a truth.
At the end of July, Lu Yanggong sent another 30 warriors, plus more than 100 crossbowmen.
The ten sets of iron armor transported from the second batch of Pei County were also worn by the warriors here.
Lu Yanggong can be regarded as able to distinguish the interests and disadvantages, and he did not ask about the things that are suitable for this side, and he has the attitude of letting go of everything.
One is that he has an old relationship with Mozi and knows the methods of the Mo family. The second is that the matter has come to this point, and there is really no other way to rely on.
By mid-August, the defense of the new city, which had been built on the original walls, was almost complete.
There is no need to consider the enemy's shelling, but some convex corners and stars have been added, moats have been dug, hidden weapons such as "dog walking" have been placed to defend the city, and traps have been prepared.
Originally, the rammed earth city wall was built much faster than this, but Shi still organized people, fired a batch of red bricks, and strengthened it in some places that needed to be reinforced and might be easy to break.
In addition, when ramming the city wall for defense, the people of the Mo family focused on talking about some of the Mo family's happy land, and talked about the situation in Peixian and other places.
In particular, the hundreds of people who are training to come into contact with firearms, if the defense of the city can be completed, these people can survive, and will be the first to actually fight with gunpowder tubular weapons. Although they used hand cannons, bronze guns and other long-barreled arquebuses that did not fit the Peixian Yishi's side, they were still a group of people who had really fought, and they were ready to abduct these people to Pei County after the battle.
During this period, in addition to the morality of the Mo family, he also talked about some of the Mo family's laws to defend the city, collected food, prepared a list, and burned the trees around the city.
By the end of August, when the people in the lookout village in the north discovered the movement of the Jin and Zheng divisions, the defense system of Niu Langyi had been completed.
The 5,000 households in the city, plus nearly 2,000 outside the city, have been concentrated in the city.
Ten copper cannons with a small caliber, and two short-barreled stone mortar cannons with a large caliber, which are forced by the current level of technology.
Twenty small shotguns resembling the Tiger Cannon, which were small enough to shoot sand and gravel, were reinforced with iron sheets.
Only ten pine cannons that could be used three or five times and reinforced with iron hoops.
There are more than 800 simple firearms of all kinds.
There were 150 crossbowmen sent by Luyang Gong, and 80 township shooters recruited locally.
There are ten sets of iron pieces and armor, and there are more than 40 warriors who are good at assault and killing, not counting the inkers.
Various iron, pottery, and huge wooden frames were loaded with stone powder mines for throwing downwards.
The entire city wall of Niulangyi has completely disobeyed the "Zhou Li", and is no longer a standard square shape, but around the original old wall, adding "walking walls", "horse faces", some prominent stars, and forts tamped with earth.
The city gate has also been strengthened according to Mozi's "Miscellaneous Guards", adding double gates, and preparing some small gates and side gates that can be attacked.
All the wells outside the city were filled, and the city wall near the river was also covered with bricks and stones, and a large amount of timber and grain were piled up in an orderly manner inside the city.
This time was completely different from the Battle of Shangqiu, which had a plan from the very beginning to show the enemy's weakness and wait for the opportunity to attack through the formation, because at that time he did not want to wait for reinforcements from the Three Jin Dynasty.
But Niu Yi's plan from the beginning was to defend until the besieging side was tired. Or...... The contradiction between Zheng and Han, who was stubbornly defended to the point of inference, broke out and asked him to withdraw on his own.
It would be strange if this kind of multinational coalition, especially between the multinational coalition forces, which usually have a deep blood feud, can fully cooperate.
As long as the guards are resolute, as long as the gunpowder weapons can cause a certain shock to these people, it will be considered a success.
The Mo family can also hype it up, thus once again making the princes look sideways and the world shake.
The more the vibration, the better, the more powerful the vibration, and Wei Han did not dare to have any strange thoughts about the foundation of the Mo family Pei County in the Song State, because they were afraid that the Mo family, which could shake the world, would be forced to the side of the Chu State.
Therefore, the harder the fight here, the safer it will be over there, and the monarch will still smile and say a few words about the scene like benefiting the world.
During the period of waiting for the arrival of the Jin-Zheng coalition army, the people of the Xuanyi Department finally did their own work, and after organizing the people together with the help of defending the city, they launched a fierce propaganda work.
…………
At the beginning of September, the Jin-Zheng coalition army, totaling more than 70,000 people, approached Niuqiyi.
The inkman who had detected in advance counted the number of stove pits on the other side and judged the approximate number of people. However, among these 70,000 people, most of them were peasant soldiers, and the soldiers of Xihe were not mobilized, and half of them were counted as baggage.
This time, the commander of the Wei army is Gongzi Zheng, the commander of the Han army is the deputy commander of the last expedition, and the commander of the Zheng army is Zima.
There are 800 chariots in total, and a total of 1,700 chariots and baggage chariots, which can claim 3,000 chariots to the outside world.
This expedition has actually missed the best time, but there is nothing that can be done by the countries.
Wei Siming knew that it was impossible for Zhao to participate in this matter, but he had to guard against a sneak attack from behind Zhao, and he could only get Wu Qi's side to defeat the Qin people who seized the West River, and then he sent an envoy to Zhao Capital to tell the truth of the joint efforts of the three Jins.
In fact, Korea would prefer to start a war in the area of Daliang, so that the territory closer to it can occupy a few cities and expand its power.
Because Zheng Guo had already taken the lead and captured Yuguan, and this time Zheng Shi entered the prince's decision, Zheng Guo also used Yuguan's fear of Yang Chengjun counterattack as an excuse, and only 15,000 people were out.
Wei hoped to break through the Lu Pass and bring internal turmoil to Chu, so as to maintain its hegemony. In Weis's view, the state of Chu was the biggest enemy of the state of Wei after his death, and he could not see the possible rise of the Qin people at all, and no one believed that the current situation of the state of Qin would be able to rise in the future.
Wei wants future advantages and hegemony, Han Zheng wants the city land that can be obtained realistically, and Gongzi Zheng hopes that he can be the Duke of Qin Mu in the past and support a monarch to ascend the throne.
Under each other's skins, they have been delaying until now to send troops, giving them enough opportunities to improve the city's defense.
