The battle near the city gate was still raging, and when he looked high, he saw that the second wave of the coalition attack force was forming a group.

In fact, the whole team was already a little late, the Wei army near the city gate was already showing signs of collapse, the Korean army on the south side was still fighting hard, and the Zheng army on the left flank had just engaged because of the previous artillery delay.

The artillery was urgently transferred, and this time instead of bombarding the Zheng army, but instead bombarding the Wei army, which was gathering for the first wave of the offensive.

The signs of the retreat of the Wei army near the city gate were far beyond the previous brutal battle, which these people could not bear.

On the left flank, the Zheng army, because of yesterday's losses and today's artillery attack, stopped patrolling when it was about forty paces.

Just as the Zheng people were on patrol, the banner of the Ink Warrior was waved at the head of the city, and a warrior who seemed bold to the Zheng people and abound within the Mo family descended from the city.

He held in his hand the banner of the Mo family that had people come to collect the corpse yesterday, and in the eyes of Zheng Guoshi, it was like walking on the edge of the field, and Shi Shiran walked towards Zheng Ren.

Several Zheng people and small nobles were also stunned there, and the rest of the Zheng people were also a little dumbfounded when they listened to the fierce battle on the right side.

The ink man holding the banner walked straight to the front of the Zheng army's column, and said in a loud voice: "The Zheng people and Chu have not fought for thirty years, so why bother to seek hegemony for Wei?" ”

Zheng Zhishu held a sword, but the man seemed to not be able to see it, and asked in a loud voice in an authentic Zheng language.

"In the first year of Yougong, Han Wuzi killed Yougong after attacking Zheng, and it was only twenty-four years. Later, Zheng and Han fought, and the Chu people did not invade Zheng. ”

"If you use personal enmity, the Chu people have not killed your parents, but the Han people are fighting with you in the Yellow Pond, or you have died your brother or your father, what enmity do the Chu people have against you?"

"The Mo family giant once said that the world is not attacking. Zheng is only a small country of 800 times, and Chu is weak by thousands of times. The essence of Wei is in the West River, can the State of Chu cross the State of Zheng and attack the State of Wei? If the Chu people are angry, isn't it Zheng Guo who is blocking the Chu people's soldiers? At that time, even if the Mo family thought that Chu Xing was fighting an unjust war and turned to help Zheng Ren defend it, wouldn't it still be Zheng people who were killed or injured? ”

"The cities of Zheng State are all under the soldiers of Chu State, whether the King of Chu is a prince or a prince, does it have anything to do with you?"

"The Mo family loves each other and can't bear to kill each other, so ...... Why do you seek death? If this is the case, you only wave your flag and shout, and the Mo family advises the Chu people at the head of the city, and also beat the drum and throw more gunpowder and thunder under the city to make the sound of war. ”

The man was talking in front of the thousand armies, not caring about the possible threats, as if life and death had been put on the line.

All the words, just like when Candle Zhiwu retreated from Qin, he didn't talk about He Li and Zheng at all, and he stood in the other party's perspective everywhere to imagine the opposite.

As the people of the Mo family have realized, only when the country that is engaged in an unjust war is hurt, they can listen to any non-offensive speech.

And three days ago, Shi Shi attacked Zheng Ren with all his strength, which made Zheng Ren full of panic, and the people within Zheng Guo were already quite dissatisfied with attacking Chu, but they didn't dare to say it because of the strict laws of Si Ziyang's administration.

In the battle the day before yesterday, some people may not have participated in the siege, but when the corpses were collected in the evening, many people saw the tragic condition of the corpses.

Moreover, the attack was almost scattered in a hurry, and it retreated when it got a little closer to the city wall, causing huge casualties in a short period of time, and many Zheng people had lingering palpitations.

The reputation of the Mo family is good, the reputation is high, and a few days ago, they specially called people to collect the corpses so that the soul can return to their hometown, these Zheng people are mostly in Zhengdu, and they have more or less listened to the truth of the Mo family.

Looking at this ink man now, Wan Jun's face did not change before, he talked eloquently, he did not hold a sword in his hand, and he was thinking about Zheng Ren every word, and he was even more impressed in his heart.

Then the ink man said, "There are strife in the world, and all the people are suffering." If you don't attack Chu today, if the Chu people attack Zheng in the future, the Mo family will definitely persuade the king of Chu to never slaughter. ”

The credibility of the Mo family is higher than that of the princes in the market, and after this point is said, many Zheng people have hesitated.

In itself, Zheng Han had a blood feud, fought six times in the past 30 years, and many people's fathers and brothers died in the hands of the Han army, although the Mo family's truth said that the farmers and businessmen were only driven by the nobles for personal gain, but this hatred was no better than the Chu people who had not fought for 30 years.

The Zheng people were afraid of the retaliation of the Chu State, that is, after Si Ziyang took power, he strengthened the centralization of power and clarified the decree, causing the people to dare not speak out, otherwise they would have expelled the monarch to a truce just like the Wei Guo did back then.

Now that the Mo family had already talked about the future, the Zheng people in the front row looked at the doctor and the brigade commander who commanded five hundred people.

Seeing that everyone had no desire to fight, the brigade commander was also worried that he would die under the city during the siege, and he was already dissatisfied with the fact that the ruling government started a war against Chu, so he had to say: "The Three Kingdoms are allies, and we will be spurned by the Emperor of Heaven like this." ”

After talking to the Mo family about ghosts and gods, in fact, the brigade commander had already approved the conditions proposed by the Mo family in his heart, and he said this just to let the Mo family give him a reason to abide by the conditions.

The sound of explosions and screams on the right side was still coming, and only a prominent star could not be seen.

After the explosion passed, the ink man laughed and said, "Everyone is the minister of the Emperor of Heaven, and the Emperor of Heaven likes that everyone is not profitable. For example, when the prince was a prince, he was an official in Shang for many years, and Shang was tyrannical, so he fished in Qishan in the distance to seek the Lord and stabilize the world, which was what the Emperor of Heaven liked. Could it be that the Emperor of Heaven is so ignorant that he can't distinguish between big and small benefits? ”

"Back then, Shang Xia Wei also swore an oath with others and agreed on all kinds of agreements, but were they protected by the Emperor of Heaven?"

"A person with courage and strength catches tigers alive, kills people with finger paintings, and is called evil. This person was loyal to Yu, but he betrayed the righteousness of the world and was finally punished by King Wu. Could it be that the Emperor of Heaven would think that evil comes from such a small righteousness as loyalty, and punish and execute the evil martial king? ”

"Therefore, the Triple Alliance oath is unrighteous in itself, how can it be protected by the Emperor of Heaven?"

The brigade commander did not answer, but asked the soldier next to him, "What do you think?" ”

The soldiers next to him had already been convinced, and they all said: "Why fight with the Chu people? The Mo family defended the city, and the prince of Chu led 70,000 people, but was captured by hundreds of people from the Mo family. ”

The brigade commander sighed and said, "It's just that the order cannot be disobeyed." ”

The ink man smiled: "It's easy to say." ”

With that, he stepped forward and swung his fist straight up at the brigade commander's chin, but the brigade commander did not dodge, and fell straight to the ground after a punch.

Several guards around him drew their swords and were angry, and the Mo family stepped back and said, "The brigade commander fainted. ”

The rest of the people waved their spears one after another, making an angry look, and many people laughed secretly in their hearts, and the ink man said before leaving: "From tomorrow, the Chu people will no longer bombard the Zheng people, but only the Wei people." ”

After that, he bypassed some traps and bamboo sticks on the ground, walked to the bottom of the city, and climbed to the top of the city with a rope in his hand.

At the head of the city, the drum beat loudly, and several gunpowder mines were thrown under the city, and there was a rumbling sound, and the Zheng people also shouted urgently, and the sound of fighting came out of their mouths, as if the battle situation here was more fierce than the east gate attacked by the Wei people.

…………

Near the east gate, the Wei people who attacked in the first wave could no longer support it, but the follow-up support still did not arrive.

Gongzi miscalculated the time, ignoring the interval between the whole formation and the city wall the day before yesterday, and he didn't expect that the artillery that had been bombarding the Zheng people before began to bombard the follow-up array of the Wei people.

Shi judged the distance of the follow-up Wei army, and decisively ordered the elite armor soldiers who were in ambush near the small side gate to go out of the city to counterattack.

The Wei army, which had already exhausted its strength and courage, suddenly suffered a counterattack, and immediately collapsed, and fled backwards, and those armor soldiers who went out of the city to fight back did not pursue, but returned to the city gate after twenty steps.

Hundreds of people fled backwards, where is there anything to say about fifty steps and a hundred steps, sweeping the second line of the Wei army, which had just been subjected to shelling, could not be intercepted at all.

At this time, a few more iron pills fell in the Wei people's array, and with the impact of the rout, the Wei people suddenly collapsed and retreated.

Since the Wei people have retreated, the Han people can no longer support it.

Zheng Ren was shouting, and he saw someone waving the Mo family's banner a few times at the head of the city, and several voices said loudly: "The Wei people have retreated, do Zheng people have to be warriors?" ”

As soon as the Zheng people heard this, many people in the rear team looked back, and when they saw that the Wei people had indeed retreated, they immediately lifted the brigade commander, dragged their weapons upside down and ran backwards, and a few dared to shout at the city: "Don't let that iron pellet bombard!" ”

After a while, Zheng Ren retreated cleanly, leaving no corpse and not hurting a single person, just looking at the flag lodging, and those who didn't know thought that they had also suffered a big defeat.

Under the east gate, there are more than 800 corpses of the Wei people, and many injured people are wailing under the city.

In the rest of the city walls, the Wei people also lost a lot, but they were all peasant soldiers, not the elite who mainly attacked the city gates.

Although firearms were not as abundant as near the city gate in other places, there were warriors who could throw gunpowder thunder every thirty or fifty paces, and the rest of the peasant soldiers also fought bravely, or used lime canisters and rolling logs to attack the Wei people who attacked the city.

It was just a wave of attack, and nearly a thousand people had been lost, and there were quite a few elites, which was already a big defeat that the Wei people could not bear.

Without him, if you want to fight in the field, you need to have a chariot as the main force. The siege elite can be used as charioteers, and the rest of the foot soldiers are not competent.

Moreover, the 70,000 coalition troops, the real essence is only 10,000 people, divided into three countries, such losses are already extremely serious.

What's even more terrifying is that so far, none of the Wei and Zheng armies have climbed to the top of the city, but only a few people from the Han army have climbed the top of the city, but they were quickly killed.

Seeing the retreat of the three armies, Gongzi scolded angrily, but he could only temporarily withdraw his troops, just wait for a moment to rest, and then attack the city.

In the afternoon, the siege continued, but the result was similar to that of the morning. The Mo family also kept their promise and no longer shelled the Zheng people, but always bombarded the Wei people. The Zheng people were still waving their flags and shouting under the city, sounding like a fight, while the Wei people attacked in formation.

Until the evening, when the corpse was collected under the banner of the Mo family, the biggest achievement was that the Wei people dug four holes under the city wall, but unfortunately it was dark, and the holes would be repaired by the defenders at night.

Gongzi's eyes were already red, Zima already knew what Zheng Ren had done this afternoon, but he didn't say anything, and Qiang couldn't help but feel the pain, and said: "It's not a way to attack like this!" ”

"You can't go to the city today, even if you destroy the ditch, dig the cave, and guard against the bombardment of iron pellets at night, you can't go within a hundred paces, so you can only retreat and camp. The defenders will inevitably go out of the city to fill up, so what can they do? ”

Gongzi gritted his teeth and said: "If I have the iron pill bombardment weapon of the Mo family to defend the city, this city will be broken today!" The Mo family kept saying that they would not provide offensive weapons, so couldn't this thing be able to siege the city? ”

He was just ruthless, knowing that it was useless to say this at this time, so he turned his head and asked Zima: "Zheng Ren only died more than ten people today, or did he fall into the trap and die!" What's going on? ”

Zima frowned and said, "How do I know?" The people of the country don't want to fight, does the prince want me to go to the city in armor myself? The military law is strict, but 1,500 people have violated the military law, if I kill it, the soldiers will die in the north! ”

Qiang said coldly: "Zheng people are cowardly, and they have always been like this. ”

Zima said angrily: "Have you forgotten the appearance of the Koreans who were chased and fled by me in the Battle of Huang six years ago? ”

Childe was angry and drew his sword, slashing at the case in the tent a few times: "Don't argue! Now that he has sworn an oath and entered the prince's decision, does the Zheng people want to betray the alliance? ”

Zima lowered his head and said: "Zheng people are good at field battles, not good at attacking cities." I wanted to fight with Lu Yang, but where did I think of attacking the city garrisoned by the Mo family? The power of those gunpowders had never been seen before, the soldiers palpitated, and the Mo family's means of defending the city were ......"

He paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said: "If the city is attacked like this today, in another five days, without the invitation of Luyang Marshal Chu Shi, my army may have been dispersed!" It is no longer possible to attack like this. ”
