Wei Zhen was also impatient and dissatisfied in his heart, of course he knew that if this city continued to be attacked like this, something would have to happen.

Not to mention the loss of thousands of losses in the two sieges in five days, the Zheng people are tired of war, and the Koreans will have different ideas in the future.

After attacking for a day, a few holes were dug under the city walls, which would be filled in at night, and the moats that were filled in would also be dug up, and attacking again tomorrow would be tantamount to starting from scratch.

At night, they didn't dare to camp too close, and the iron balls at the head of the city didn't know when they would fall, so they could only let the people inside repair and dig at night.

If you choose to besiege the city for a long time and rely on the method of exhausting the food in the city, it will not work. Lu Yanggong's field Chu division was watching from the sidelines, not to mention, and all the feudal lords of Chu were staring at the situation here.

Delaying, constantly increasing troops, and fighting hegemonic decisive battles such as Chengpu and Liangtang involves the strategy of the entire situation, and the situation at this time does not allow Wei to do this.

Once it is found that even a small city like Niu Qiyi cannot be captured, those Chu feudal monarchs who ride on the wall will naturally stand on the side of the king of Chu.

But if you want to capture Niu Yi, you have to exhaust all your strength, and you will be victorious by Luyang Gong's field battle, even if it is a draw, it will be the same in the overall situation, and those feudal monarchs who ride the wall will also stand on the side of the king of Chu.

In the end, the prince set this card, and it was difficult to play the effect.

Before Gongzi hit here, he thought that he fought from Xihe to Zhongshan, and then from Zhongshan to Qilu, he really did not taste defeat, and he was full of confidence.

But now in the face of a small town with less than 10,000 households, he is helpless to resist, how can he not be impatient in his heart?

What made him even more irritable was the words of Li Kui and Duan Ganmu before the expedition. They thought that Gongzi's talent was not enough to shake the Chu State, and it was best to let Gongzi attack to defend the Qin people in Xihe, and let Wu Qi be the general to enter the prince's determination.

Now that he is invincible, it seems to be verifying the words of those two people.

If he is defeated by Lu Yanggong, Gongzi can still have some excuses.

But on the other side are just Mo family figures, except for those who are noble-born, they are all a group of short brown mud legs, and the descendants of their dignified marquis were defeated by a group of short brown men, and they will be laughed at by the world when they say it.

It's just that he has been fighting with the army since he was fifteen years old, and he has been a commander many times, and he also knows that impatience is a great enemy at this time.

After calming down, he sighed: "If you want to capture the cow block, I'm afraid you can only rely on the large number of people, and the sheep and dirt mountains are slowly approaching. Then use the legal person attached to the ant to multiply, and dig the crypt at the same time, and the number of methods can be done together. It was I who despised the Mo family's art of defending the city. ”

After thinking about it, I thought that there must be a problem on the Zheng people's side, they may not be willing to fight, but let them dig the Yangtuo Soil Mountain.

With more than ten days, he piled up mountains of soil and monitored the movements of Lu Yanggong at the same time. If the Duke of Luyang takes the opportunity to go north, he will fight a decisive battle with the plains.

This is also a way to do it, once the decisive battle is held, we have to consider the possibility of Niu Qiyi and these people going out of the city to support Lu Yanggong.

At that time, more than 10,000 troops will be divided to monitor Niu Yan, and with the losses of these days, there will be more than 40,000 people left who can really fight a decisive battle with Lu Yanggong, and the number will be greatly reduced.

But apart from this method, he couldn't even think of how to break the city.

As expected, there is no need for Lu Yang Gong to really send troops, only Lu Yang Gong may send troops, and Gongzi must divide his troops to prevent Lu Yang Gong from leading troops for a decisive battle.

The plan was decided, so he discussed it with the other two armies.

With the Zheng people digging up the soil and piling up the mountains, the Koreans went ten miles away to cut wood, and sent scouts to check the movements in the direction of Luyang.

Make a siege first, if you really can't take it, then there is really no other way. It is impossible to besiege the city, if the city is besieged, the king of Chu will also get time to integrate the interior, once the integration is completed, the troops will be concentrated to the north, and the two sides can only increase their troops to fight a big war that Wei is unwilling to bear at this time.

Zheng Zima heard this: "In this way, it will take more than ten days to say less." Besides, there are still those annoying iron pellets bombarding the city, and the accumulation of dirt and mountains must be slow. It's just that apart from this method, there is really no means to break the city. ”

Childe said distressedly: "That's the only way." ”

When the three of them agreed, they immediately ordered the camp to be reinforced, and sent scouts to the south to choose a place to dig up the Yangtuo soil hill in order to get closer.

He also sent people to quietly dig the crypt, preparing to break through the city wall from the cave ** and open the city gate.

…………

In the city, after a day of hard fighting, many people were injured and were being arranged for treatment.

The people of the Xuanyi Department took advantage of the night to explain more reasoning, and made a promise that the food in the city would be enough to last for several months, the wells would not dry up, and the people in the city would be stable.

On the second day, seeing that the allied forces were no longer attacking the city, they only saw that they were digging up the earth and mountains, and laying earth and stones, and let the gunners bombard the places where the crowds gathered.

After three times and twice, the speed of accumulating earth mountains gradually slowed down, and many Zheng people threw the earth up and ran away immediately after approaching, and did not want to stay there.

Seeing this, Meng Sheng was a little worried, and said dissatisfiedly: "If I am the Duke of Luyang, I will reorganize the army at this time to make a threatening situation." But he was good, and only let Jin Shi slowly besiege the city here. ”

"Although the copper cannon can delay the speed of digging, if it goes on like this, it will always come closer. If there are more cannons, I will not be afraid, but there are only ten, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to defend at that time. ”

Shiqi said: "In the past, the giants guarded the city, and they also piled up mountains of soil, right?" ”

Meng Sheng nodded and said, "But the giant guards the capital and the big city." There are many armor soldiers in the city, and hundreds of ink writers are there. It's easy to fight back. Niu Qi Xiaoyi, there are not many armor soldiers, and the number of disciples of our Mo family is not enough, so if you want to defend it, you can only defend it. ”

Shi looked at the mountains of dirt piled up outside, and said with relief: "If it goes on like this, it will take twenty days to complete, to say the least." Besides, what happens when you get closer? It is nothing more than close to the engagement, and the earth and mountains are narrow, and there will not be many people who can climb the city. ”

With the help of the cover of digging earth mountains, the siege method of digging the crypt is close to the city, and it is not afraid of it.

In addition to gunpowder in his hands, there is also sulfur, and there are many ink people who are good at observing the enemy digging the crypt, using the same tactics as Shangqiu, and when the time comes, the sulfur can smoke the enemy who kills the cave.

The food in his hand is enough to support him for several months, and as long as the food is still there, the Jin Shi will return if he can't hold it for a few months.

…………

Ten days later, the earth mountain was about seventy paces closer to the city wall, but the speed began to slow down significantly.

Zheng Ren, who was carrying the soil, scolded and threw the soil up, occasionally hearing a whistling sound overhead, and immediately scattered, not caring whether the wood, soil and stones in his hands were piled up according to the designated position.

After several days of excavation, more than 100 people have died under the cannons, and the number is not much, but the death is extremely miserable, and the morale is extremely low.

The excavation of this earth hill is still skillful, and it is prepared to get close to the corner of the starlight of the city wall, and it seems that the concave surface can be split into two sides by breaking through one corner, so that it does not have to suffer a volley from both sides.

Only in this way also gave the artillery in the city a good enough angle of fire to constantly attack the people on the dirt hill from both sides and frontal.

In the direction of the approaching of the earth mountain, the city wall is also being strengthened, the height is increased, and the tower is erected, so that after the earth mountain is close, it will still be attacked from three sides.

Several Zheng people were glad that they had dodged an artillery bombardment, and suddenly one of them looked into the distance and made a puzzled sound, and the Zheng people standing on the dirt mountain looked along and were also surprised.

In the distance, several carriages were galloping towards this direction.

There was nothing surprising about the carriage itself, but the carriage was tied with white linen, and the people in the carriage were dressed in mourning clothes, and white silk was hung on the carriage.

The Zheng people, who were the first to discover, couldn't help but look happy, and it seemed that the king of which country had died.

One of them scolded in a low voice: "It's a good death, so wouldn't it be possible to withdraw from the army?" Mourning, no conscription, no war, no troops! But could it be that our monarch is dead? ”

The people said with a little expectation: "It's hard to say." But if the Marquis of Wei dies, as soon as the Wei people retreat, do we still need to attack it? It's good to return to China, and you can also plant the Sumai and winter wheat from the Mo family, and this day is about to pass. ”

While talking, he looked at the city with palpitations, and said with a heart: "This city cannot be attacked." Everyone in the Mo family has said that this is an unjust war, and it must be punished by the Emperor of Heaven, you see, the monarch is dead, right? ”

A person next to him also said: "That's what I said." You look at the last time the king of Chu besieged Shangqiu, what was the result? Soon after returning to the state of Chu, he died, and if you want me to say, this is the warning of the Emperor of Heaven, telling them not to raise more unrighteous wars! ”

"Fighting around, what are you fighting? The crops are desolate...... The interests of the princes and nobles, what is our business? ”

A few people muttered, suddenly there was an explosion, several people subconsciously held their heads and fled backwards, not far behind them an iron ball was smashing into a pile of wood, banging loudly, and the two were pierced by sawdust and screamed.

While the others were glad that they had not been hit, they looked at the carriage galloping in the distance with anticipation, and shouted at the people next to them, "What else are you piling up?" I don't know whose monarch is dead, and this battle can't be fought......"

While shouting, more than 100 Zheng people threw down the shovels in their hands and fled down the mountain one after another.

The carriages with mourning white quickly caused movement in the army, and when they got closer, they could already be seen to be Korean carriages and horses, and the people in the carriages were all wearing vegetarian clothes.

One of them cried in the car: "The king is here! It's time for you! Zheng people surrounded Yang Zhai five days ago! ”

The carriage galloped into the camp and rushed towards the camp tent of the Chinese army, and the mourners rushed into the camp tent and said to the Qiang: "Five days ago, Zheng Wei Yang Zhai, the king was angry, and he was angry that night!" ”

When Qiang heard the news, he fell to the ground and cried three times, and after grabbing the ground with his head, he got up angrily, drew his sword and said to Zheng Zima: "Zheng people have no faith and betrayed the alliance!" ”

Zheng Zima was also stupid there, and after being sure that this was true, he panicked in his heart and secretly scolded Si Ziyang for cheating himself!

Seeing that Qiang was angry, Zima hurriedly said: "I don't know, besides, the Triple Alliance swore to be the prince, but the personal feud has never been settled." We are waiting to attack the bull for the oath. Ziyang attacked Yang Zhai for revenge for the murder of Yougong back then, how can it be said that we betrayed the alliance? ”

After that, he also drew his sword, and he had the potential to fight with the Qiang.

The generals and warriors of Zheng and Han in the tent also immediately drew their swords and stood against each other, glaring angrily, and the movement outside the camp was even more chaotic.

Gongzi scolded Zheng Siziyang secretly, but he also knew that if he didn't handle it well today, something would happen! Why did you choose this time to enclose Yang Zhai? Why did Han Hou die at this time?
