The fugitives escaped death, and those soldiers who did not escape the fate of death became an indelible fear in the hearts of the Qi nobles.

During the three-day siege, the number of dead and fleeing soldiers was close to 7,000, and those who were wounded were not treated at all, especially those who were temporarily immortalized by lead bullets, and their wails echoed in the barracks, which made the morale of the soldiers plummet, but there was nothing they could do.

It is not good to put them to death so that these wails do not affect others, and if they do, they will not be far from mutiny.

A large number of corpses were piled up in front of the battle, and many people in the camp cried about their companions.

These people have fought before, and it is not the first time they have been on the battlefield, but they have never seen such a cruel siege, let alone a situation of collective disobedience by the soldiers during the siege.

After three days of siege, not to mention the city wall of Yingyi, even the two fortresses at the main road in front of the main gate were not captured, this strange city defense method, combined with the rumors of the Mo family's conformism, made the Qi army lose the courage to continue fighting.

The momentum of the drum was like a tiger, but this drum did not succeed, but turned every attack into a slaughter to drive away his own soldiers, and the layers of corpses were not only a huge blow to morale, but also the reason why the generals and nobles of the Qi army doubted Gongziwu's decision.

Gongziwu has never shown up, and most of the people who stay here are not Gongziwu's cronies.

Although Gongziwu did not show up, few people suspected that Gongziwu had arrived in Dongmu, because the dead soldiers and strategists around Gongziwu were all in the camp, which was a very basic judgment, the nobles who fled may not bring their wives and children, but the taxis around them will definitely carry and follow, and that is the foundation for future recovery.

The strategist who disguised Gongzi Wu in the car was also under tremendous pressure, he was good at conspiracy and planning, but he was not very good at how to fight.

It's not that it won't, it's just that it will be fought step by step and in accordance with the previous art of war.

In the face of the Mo family's city fortifications, these experiences, which were still considered to be able to fight a battle twenty years ago, turned out to be meaningless.

How do you break down a fortress built into a concave wall?

How to break through a wall with enough copper cannons to defend it?

Nothing.

It's not just that he doesn't know, but in fact, few people in the world know about it, because the tactics themselves are also an experience that relies on countless human lives.

In the car, the strategist looked ashamed and said worriedly, "I am ashamed to love my son." Originally, I wanted to win the city, so that the Mo family had to be saved, and the two armies faced each other in Wenshui, and I could hold out for seven or eight days. ”

"But now it seems that Yan Zhishi has no intention of coming to support Yingyi, and he actually commanded a large army to Pingyang?"

The Shidao next to him said, "I will go to Pingyang, and my son will not have to worry about it." To capture Pingyang, it is necessary to return to the division to win the city, and at least seven or eight days have passed since such a return. Childe will definitely be able to cross the Yishui. ”

While he was talking, he heard a noise outside, and the strategist was about to ask, when someone ran to him and said, "All the generals are begging Gongzi to come forward, and they don't want to fight anymore." ”

The strategist sighed, and it is understandable that the generals of the Heart Dao think so, if the city is attacked normally, within three days, at most a few hundred people will be lost, and even if it cannot be captured, it will not fall into despair.

But in just three days, six or seven thousand people were killed and wounded, and there was even a mutiny and disobedience before the battle, and it seemed pointless to fight again, and it would be like waves in a river crashing into the mountains in front of them.

It's just a city, and it has changed its appearance, why is it so difficult to attack?

Could it be that there is really some intrigue in this? Could it be that such a thing as a war also has a so-called heavenly will in it?

At this time, the generals had already arrived outside, and they didn't dare to come forward, and the sound of the generals kneeling down could be heard through the curtain, and they said in unison, "Childe, you can't fight like this." If we continue to fight, I am afraid that if we don't wait for the Mo family's army to dispatch, our army will be defeated. ”

"Gongzi wanted to fight a decisive battle with Yan Zhishi in Wenshui, but Yan Zhishi did not save Yingyi and went straight to Pingyang. If Pingyang is broken, the army's morale will be chaotic, and our army will be defeated! ”

The veterans led by them spoke eagerly, waited for a long time, and a slightly hoarse voice came from the car tent, as if it was after a cold, and said, "Wouldn't it be right for the company to turn to Pingyang and not save Yingyi?" ”

"Among the winners, there is only a pawn of a division. There are still 20,000 soldiers of Pingyang's father, Liang's father, and the city cannot be broken within a few days. ”

"If the city is broken, our army can return to Linzi, build the city, and gather the troops of Jiaodong to guard Linzi. In every battle, there will be gains and losses. ”

"In the battle of Wuyue in the past years, thousands of dead soldiers killed themselves in front of the battle, frightened the enemy army, and finally won a great victory. Now we are abandoning the soldiers of Pingyang for the sake of Qizhi, which is also a last resort. ”

"Besides, if the winning town is broken, the siege of Pingyang can be solved. If the army is moved to Pingyang at this time, and the army is ambushed halfway, and our army is defeated, then Pingyang and Yingyi can not be defended. Qi Zhishe is in danger, and the world's etiquette law is abolished! ”

This is not unreasonable, not only reasonable, but also very reasonable, but this truth is all on paper.

Of course, if Yingyi was broken before the city of Pingyang was broken, then the siege of Pingyang would naturally be lifted, and the situation would have changed greatly, and the Qi State would have regained a balanced force.

However, any strategy is based on tactics, otherwise it is meaningless.

The veteran at the head of the group persuaded bitterly, "The words of the son are showing his wisdom." But...... But how do we win the town? How can Binh Duong hold on for so long? The application of the army is the best at attacking and defending, followed by field warfare, Pingyin City is majestic and far better than Pingyang, and it is broken in a few days, and the situation is in Pingyang? Is this something that can be left unconsidered? ”

"Childe's words are tantamount to saying that if I can move Mount Tai, then I will definitely be able to move Nanshan in Linzi."

"Childe's words make sense, but ...... But I can't do it! ”

This veteran has been fighting for a long time, and although it is difficult to understand the changing patterns of war, his eyes are not blind.

He has been fighting horses for decades and has seen countless sieges and sieges, but he has never seen a siege war like this.

Before the soldiers of the first brigade could rush under the city walls, they were already in disarray.

It was easy for the craftsmen who accompanied the army to make a good rush, but it was blown up as soon as it crossed the trench, and dozens of craftsmen were busy all day, and it was just an iron pellet on the Mo family's side.

The soldiers who attacked the city did not know how to attack the city, and they were in a hurry.

The brigade commander and the head of the township, who followed the front, did not know where to attack and where not to attack, so they rushed to the two corners with their people, and after a while, a company of soldiers retreated in defeat and fled.

There is no hope, no meaning, and there is no possibility of breaking the city.

Now there is news that Liang's father's righteous teacher is out and marches towards Pingyang.

If Pingyang is lost, and Yingyi cannot be attacked, these tens of thousands of troops will be completely trapped and killed here, not waiting for the Mo family to attack, but I am afraid that the army's heart has collapsed.

Now that the morale of the army is unstable, the soldiers have the intention of fleeing, and those who escape from the battle and pretend to be dead cannot be frightened even if they kill chickens and monkeys.

This veteran is the heart of the fist, but he was reprimanded by the "Gongzi Wu" in the car tent.

"You say that what I said is meaningless, why don't you tell me, how should this battle be fought?"

"How come I don't know that the army has been sent to Pingyang, so what can we do?"

"If you can't win the battle if you collect the troops, return to Pingyang?"

A rhetorical question, the veteran said abruptly, "I'm afraid not." Returning to Pingyang, it is necessary to ambush and engage in battle, and our army will be defeated if it is not strong. ”

The boy in the car snorted coldly, "Then turn to march to Father Liang?" Got Liang's father and cut off the water? ”

The veteran pondered for a long time and said, "I'm afraid it's not okay." The soldiers of the Mo family are good at marching, and in the past, they seized Liang's father and won the city, and traveled hundreds of miles in two days. Now that the Mo family is riding and coming out, and the scouts are all over the place, if our army moves, it will be known. If you are close to Liang's father, the army of the Emperor will return to ......"

Gongzi Wu in the car said again, "Then if you don't win the battle, the whole army will go east and return across the Yishui?" ”

When these words were spoken, the veteran was silent for a long time and said, "It's not okay." At this time, if you cross Yishui to the east, the army's spirit will be scattered, and the retreat will not be successful, and it will be feared to be a rout. If the soldiers pursued in Yishui and Yishan, they were also defeated. ”

The boy in the car laughed and said, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, since you say no, there must be a way?" ”

"It's hard for you to think my method can't work, but you don't know how to do it. What do you mean? Is it better to let the army not attack, and not go to Pingyang, Liangfu, and Yishui, just camp here, and wait for the army of Yan Zhishi to break through Pingyang? ”

"If you are against it, there must be a way. There's no way, you can't continue to win the city, you need to tell me what to do! ”

The crowd was silent.

After the First Battle of Nanjishui, after the Mo family seized Yingyi and Liang's father and Gongzaoye to deter the Lu State, in fact, the Linzi army had fallen into a dead place.

Tian Qing's strategy was to delay, and he could also see that the Qi army was already in a deep state of death, so he could only wait for the situation in the world to change, and pin all his hopes on the civil strife of the Mo family or the dispatch of troops by Wei Han.

But Tian Qing can drag it out, Tian Wu can't drag it down, he still has a cousin who is the prince in Linzi, and his father's heart pain has been running out.

However, when Tian Qing was there, at least the Mo family did not attack, and they were dragging out, at least they were not trapped in a certain death situation as they seem now.

The strategists in the car knew that these people had no solution, and they had no strategy to win, but they were just nostalgic for the situation that they could hold on to when Tian Qing was still there.

But even if Tian Qing is there, what can he do?

Thinking of this, the "Gongzi Wu" in the car said, "Qingshuai is good at using soldiers, so I am not as good as him." But Zong Qingshuai didn't die at the hands of the Mo family's assassins, and he couldn't win. ”

"The Mo family has occupied the cities in Wenshui and Jishui, and the land reform is in Qianmo, and you don't know the incitement power of the Mo family. Wait here, wait until a year later, the thirty cities and towns will be inked, and when the time comes, 100,000 banners will arrive in Linzi, and your and my fiefdoms will be reformed, won't it be worse than the death now? ”

"For today's plan, only by storming and winning, at the expense of death and injury, only in this way can there be a trace of survival, which is to put it to death and then live."

"Gentlemen! You are not fighting for me, nor for the prince, you are fighting for yourselves. Qi was incorporated into Wei and Han, and you still have fiefdoms, and you can also flee abroad and go out again. But if it is merged into the Mo family, the fiefdom is reformed, and the subordinate peasants are converted into common people, which makes it difficult for us to survive! ”
