The words are ugly, at first glance, they are engraved by themselves, this son of the subordinate farmer practiced his promise, and also made this standard iron sword a fashion, and many people in the company were engraved with similar words on the hilt.

Many of the ink masters present understood that there were some things that did not need to be said, and when the real fight started, the ink masters had to charge forward, which was something that did not need to be repeated.

There is no too generous statement, because in their eyes, this is just a simple city, not the impregnable Pengcheng Peiyi, nor the towering capital of the princes like Linzi, there are many such cities, and there is no need to sigh under this kind of city.

After the task is assigned, the army has also sent enough iron mines, although at this time it is completely possible to do a simple pull of iron mines, but it is still a little troublesome to make, so the equipment is some arquebus ignition.

Because of the large amount of charge, there is a hemp rope trapped outside, which is convenient to carry the hemp rope and can be thrown farther.

This kind of gunpowder mine used in siege is relatively large, and generally requires the cooperation of a team of people, three are responsible for carrying the ignition and delivery, and two are responsible for throwing.

Four or five cartloads of iron thunder the size of a large potato were delivered, enough to suppress the gap, and a few soldiers looked at the iron thunder taken out of the wheat straw and muttered, "If only the artillery could spray such iron thunder." Now it's just a stone ball or an iron ball, which can only smash people. ”

Wu Chang on the side scolded with a smile: "What do you think? If the cannon is to be pushed with gunpowder, won't it explode in the chamber when it burns? You didn't listen to the artillery, those people laughed at themselves all day long, saying that most of our foot soldiers died under the enemy's hands, and most of their artillerymen died under their own artillery, and it was easy to die if they were blown up, and you were afraid that the artillery people would not die......"

The soldiers laughed, without any pre-battle tension, and the other soldier asked, "Commander, when you went to the company commander's meeting, didn't you say whether you would improve the food after the city was broken?" We've eaten fried wheat flour for several days, and Liang's father can't spend every month's food expenses, and there's nowhere to buy meat......

This is not a complaint, Wu Chang was about to make a joke, when he suddenly saw a group of people hugging Shi coming over, he hurriedly shouted a salute, and the soldiers who were chatting there got up one after another, and after returning the salute, Shi waved his hand and said, "You go on, what were you talking about just now?" ”

The soldier was a little embarrassed, but not too afraid, and said, "Besides, I want to eat fish." ”

Shi smiled: "That's hard to say. After breaking Pingyang, I still have to go to Winyi, I'm afraid there is no time to repair. In Liang's father, you have also seen that it is difficult to buy anything even if you have money, Pingyang City has been occupied by the Qi army for so long, and it is difficult to supply, I am afraid it is nothing. ”

The soldier nodded, but he was not too disappointed, and just asked in a low voice: "After we arrived at the Qi Realm, we found that the Qi Land was not very rich. Although there are many rich merchants and nobles, there are few people on the market who eat them. Didn't we say that labor creates wealth, is it because people are lazy? ”

The face of the representative of Lian not far away changed slightly, but he didn't care, looked at the young soldier and said with a smile: "Twenty years ago, Sishang was far poorer than Qidi, could it be that the people in Sishang were lazy?" You understand the principle that work creates wealth, right? ”

The soldier nodded without hesitation and smiled, "That's it." Since there is nothing wrong with working to create wealth, and the people of Kyushu are not lazy, why are there so many poor people in the world? That can only prove one thing, the world is wrong today, and this is the reason for the existence of our ink masters. It's not because of the Mo family that the world is wrong; It is because the world is wrong that there are Mo people who want to benefit the world and heal the world. ”

Shi took advantage of this topic to explain a lot of truths to the soldiers in the company.

The speaker is unintentional, which may have become a habit, but the listener is intentional.

Many of the senior officers who followed secretly said: "The words of the suitable commander are much heavier and more direct than before. It seems that a war between us and the princes of the world is inevitable, and after this war, I am afraid that there will be no days of peace and stability. ”

Those people in the Xuanyi Department are even more aware of the recent change in the direction of propaganda, and public opinion has been prepared within the Mohists, and it seems that they want to clean up and criticize those people and ideas who are "not attacking the country".

As a descendant of this faction, the Xuanyi Department can perceive the changes in the direction of the wind from the slight changes in the caliber of these propaganda, because the Xuanyi Department is the department that cannot speak indiscriminately: what to talk about must be grasped by the general direction of the radical, and it cannot be overcome.

The poultry is seriously ill, the heir is about to succeed the giant, and the old Mo masters of twenty years ago are gradually aging, and these people probably understand that I am afraid that what the Mo family will do in the future will have to change a lot from before.

From the inspiration of what the world is wrong and what we have to do because the world is wrong, and why the world has not been able to make the world stable, etc., the Mo people who understand what this kind of propaganda means understand that after the First World War, the Mo family can finally shout some slogans that could not be shouted before, at least not explicitly.

The issuance of the injustice order is a foregone conclusion, and Shi once said inadvertently: Even if Zhou Tianzi comes by car, it is useless, and if he is guilty, he will die......

What this sentence means, many people have already tasted the taste, and their hearts are snickering, or excited.

…………

Everything in the besieging army is proceeding in order.

The reasoning of the reasoning, the drawing of the drawing, and the calculation of the calculation, on the contrary, after the method of attack and the point of attack were determined, the senior officers at the division level were all relaxed.

The sound of artillery on the artillery position three hundred paces away was constantly sounding, and there was no suppression, and it was easy and easy.

The infantry lined up in front to protect, and the soldiers of the two brigades carried firewood and clods of earth on their backs, and took advantage of the suppression of the artillery to fill in the trenches.

The trenches of the sappers dug zigzags continued to extend towards the city walls, and they only had to carry out the width and depth calculated by the staff officers, because as long as they were qualified, if there was a situation where the depth or angle was not correct and caused casualties, the people of their own staff would be responsible, and the chief of the sappers would also need to recalculate because they were obliged to propose amendments and objections when the time came to hold them accountable.

All kinds of tools specially used for excavation, the method of "preparing holes" accumulated by the Mo family decades ago, and the technology honed by mining and digging canals and ditches in recent years, make the speed of the Mo family digging trenches far better than before, and naturally far better than the speed of the soldiers of the princes of the world at this time.

In two days, six winding trenches had been completed, some of the key points were dug by the sappers, and the rest were dug out by the sappers and handed over to the brigades to take charge of, day and night.

The defenders of the city had probably never seen an entire army digging holes like marmots, and even if there was a method of burrowing in the past, it was also digging tunnels, but there was no trench like a spider's web dug like this.

The nobles in the city also organized two counterattacks, but they could support each other in the trenches, and a large number of soldiers were hoarded behind, and the counterattack was wiped out in an instant.

The archers and musketeers of the city put a few rounds under the suppression of the artillery under the city, but after calculating the angle, the depth of the trench and the distance between the distance of the city wall formed an angle that caused most of the feathered arrows to miss.

The concentrated artillery under the city also bombarded the head of the city, making it difficult for the crossbowmen and musketeers in the city to stand on the walls.

This creates a terrible and ridiculous situation:

As the so-called soldiers are treacherous, the same is true in the past, where is the truth, where is the false, the four sides are false, and the main attack is a strategy, etc., which are the art of war that the scheming people are proud of.

But now, even the most ordinary soldiers in the city know the main direction of the Mo family's attack, and even know how the Mo family is going to attack, which is ridiculous

However, it was useless, the Mo family dug holes everywhere like groundhogs, clearly telling the defenders where they were going to attack, but the defenders were helpless, which was terrible.

It was really the local people who were responsible for carrying the land, and they could see it, because it was too obvious.

Seven or eight trenches kept throwing earth outward, and little by little they approached the city wall, but not even half a figure could be seen.

Or sometimes when you see a figure, dozens of copper cannons concentrated under the city are aimed at the head of the city for a fierce bombardment, and those who can see it can't be hit, and those who can hit it dare not look at it.

The direction of the main attack is about 150 paces wide, which is obvious, but how to defend it has become a big problem.

Abandoning the city walls? With the current unstable organizational ability of the army, it is impossible to rely on earthen fortifications and houses to resist in the city, as stated in the Mohist city defense technique.

Once the city wall is breached, the commanding heights in the city are lost, and the soldiers in the city are immediately in chaos, and it is difficult to organize again.

If you don't give up the city wall, the Mo family's pit will be dug under the city wall, and the only four copper cannons will be suppressed in an instant.

Send people out to harass, and the pit is full of people.

Out of the city in formation, artillery bombarded.

No warriors were sent in formation, and as soon as they jumped into the trench, they were surrounded on all sides, and spears came out in unison.

It was easy to use dozens of dead soldiers to repel a wave of Mo family guards, and the military formation was assembled in the front and rear longitudinal roads to press over, even if they didn't run, dozens of people couldn't fill this dirt pit.

Kaiseongmen sent an army to fight back? It would be more refreshing to surrender directly to Kaesong.

Without opening the city gate to fight back, he fell down by a rope, the artillery suppressed the city, and the musketeers below fired a volley, and they all died on the city wall and were hung, which was miserable.

Want to run? The cavalry of the righteous division was patrolling outside the city, and there were fewer people running, and they could not be defeated. ran a lot, opened the city gate and formed a formation, and after it was broken, the main force of the infantry on the Mo family's side was enough to gather the field battle.

Troop vehicles out of the city to attack? You have to go through the main gate, and as soon as the main gate opens, once it doesn't work, it will really open the door to invite the Mo family into the city.

I know what the Mo family is going to do, and even know what the Mo family is going to do at which point, but I am helpless.

In the early morning of the third day, the winding trench had reached the city wall, and the artillery that was 300 paces away had also advanced to a distance of about 200 paces, and dozens of artillery pieces were bombarded at the head of the city, and the sappers under the city came out of the attack in an orderly manner and came to the city with various tools to dig the earth.

Several heavy artillery guns were aimed at several points on the city wall, and the hit rate of the distance of 200 steps was extremely high, and the soldiers in the city had already seen the Mo sappers under the city carrying gunpowder to this side through the lookout.

After a morning of bombardment, when it finally stopped, several nobles at the head of the city looked at the city, and under an ominous silence, puffs of white gunpowder smoke rose from the city, and the peculiar bitter smell of burning hemp rope soaked in saltpeter wafted in.
