Qi pawn, who was lying there coldly watching the defeat of the Qi army, did not know that he was actually a genius, and he could associate the most important truth in the war with the killing of pigs and dogs, and he could be regarded as a genius, if it was a real chaos, such a person could always stand out.

But now, he is just looking forward to the defeat of the Qi army and the arrival of the night.

When the offensive of this wave of Qi troops retreated, corpses piled up everywhere between the fortress and the city of Yingyi.

Look at the sun, it's already afternoon, although it will be dark for a while, but I don't think there will be a new offensive today.

Sure enough, from this wave retreating until the evening, the Qi army did not launch a new attack.

The Mojia volunteers in the city and in the fortress sent some people down from the city to clean up the corpses, piling them up and carrying them outward, so that they could not block the city walls.

The Qi army did not collect the corpses, just like the battle when Gongsun would rebel against Qi, the Qi army did not take back the corpses, but the Mo family did not cut off the heads of these corpses to build a Jingguan, but sent people to carry these corpses to a hundred steps away from the fortress.

The severed arms and legs, as well as the heads, could not be put away, so they were put into sacks and thrown out of the ditch.

The Qi army also did not take the opportunity to attack.

It's just that when the corpses were collected, from time to time "dead people" stood up and were expelled back to the camp of the Qi army.

Fortunately, some Qi pawns pretended to be dead in a very good position, and the Mo family did not come here, and the Qi army did not choose to collect the corpses.

The Qi pawns of the Yang Zhu School, who were lying there, couldn't help but sigh when they looked at the "dead people" who were driven back to the Qi army camp.

The military law is strict, after these Qi pawns who pretend to be dead go back, the first thing they have to suffer is the punishment of piercing the ears with arrows, as for whether they will be killed, it is only in the words of the commander: there is no military law in the Mohist sense, but it is not without military law, with the law of the times, the nobleman is military law.

"The Mo family is not really benevolent. Although it is known that they are afraid that they will be mixed in, they will not be able to let them into the city, and they will not be able to spare people to watch over them in times of war...... But if it is true benevolence and righteousness, it is right to let them in regardless of these, doesn't the Mo family know that these people are driven back to be killed? ”

Fortunately, the Mo family's corpse collection team did not advance here, and while rejoicing, there was always some sadness that the rabbit died and the fox died.

He didn't count exactly how many corpses had piled up under the city today, but he knew that the level of corpse accumulation was unprecedented in previous wars.

He had also participated in some sieges and siege battles with the army before, and even if he attacked the city, he attacked the same kind of city as before.

Boxy, the walls are level, how many people can stand above, how many people can be lined up below, and there is no artillery, muskets, gunpowder and anything like that during the battle, even if the besieging side is difficult to break the city, it will not kill many people and retreat, because the people in the city can only hold on, but there is no way to turn the defense into a kind of flank slaughter.

At least, he had the impression that there would not be so many corpses piled up in a siege, especially when the Mo family pushed those corpses out of the defensive trench of Yingyi City and asked the Qi people to collect the corpses but did not collect them for the time being, and the accumulation was very special.

Seeing those corpses, he was even more determined to continue hiding, and knew in his heart that there was no way to continue hiding in this place, and he had to run out quietly while it was dark.

"Just wait until this battle is over, and I will come back and surrender."

With such thoughts buried in my heart, I hope that it will get dark soon.

When the sky finally got darker, he looked at the position to the east, which was not the main direction of the Qi army, and there was a big gap.

Running outside is all farmland, and it is summer, so you can escape this cruel battlefield under the cover of those green yarns.

Carefully waited for the sound of the Qi army's retreat, quietly waited for the light of the fire on the Qi army's side to make a fire, and took advantage of the fact that the sky was not very dark but a little hazy, and quietly crawled towards the open space in the east.

By the time we reached the city wall or so, it was already completely dark, but fortunately there was a light moon, so I couldn't see anything.

I walked along the vertical and horizontal fields of those farmlands, leaned on the moon to discern the direction, and walked for about four or five miles, and finally saw a small river.

After walking so far, I was already tired and out of breath, so I lay down by the river and drank some water, and after only a few sips, I heard another explosion in the distance, and it must have been the night when the Qi army launched a night attack.

However, the noise soon ended, and it seemed that this time the attack was routing faster, and he only groaned and guessed that hundreds of people would die, so he touched some reeds by the river, and got some fresh white reed buds and stuffed them into his mouth to satisfy his hunger.

Not long after, there was another sound of footsteps in the distance, and he thought it was the Qi army's team, so he was so frightened that he got into the reeds.

After waiting for a while, I heard a sound of drinking water from the river not far away, like drinking livestock, and I heard a few people with accents near Linzi: "It's okay to run here, wait until the battle is over, surrender in the past, be a prisoner of war for two months, and go home when you are full." ”

As soon as the person hiding in the reeds heard that he was a fellow believer, he was finally relieved and was about to walk out, but he was caught by those people and explained it to the other party.

It can be seen that there should be a complete Sima team on the opposite side, and it should be Sima Chang who ran over with his fellow villagers, but the number of people is far more than the number of Sima.

Since the leader of the team believed his words, he introduced him.

"These people are from Anping, these are from Qin Zhou, these two are from the pottery, and these are the ...... of Yuan Lou fishing."

They were all poor, not nobles, nor did they have any identities as scholars, and there was no conflict of interest between them, they were all for the same purpose, so they all put their minds at ease.

That night, the group of more than 30 people increased to more than 50 people, and they went out to guard in turn at night, and the next morning they crossed the river and went a few more miles to the east.

By the afternoon, more than twenty more people had run here, and a few of them had swords, and they were deserters if they asked.

Those who came first yesterday asked, "How many people have died today?" ”

They also knew that it was impossible to capture Yingyi, so they didn't ask, and if they did, why did they flee here.

One of the later people today drank a few sips of water and said, "Who knows how many died?" Let's take our lives to fill the city wall, I'm afraid that the nobles think that as long as they die too much, they can be as high as the Mo family's fortress, can they attack it? ”

After this man finished speaking, the person who fled with him also looked back and said: "I'm too afraid of people, I want to use a rushing car to get close today, but where is it close?" A dozen or so rushing cars were smashed halfway through, and a few of them came to the front, and the city poured oil down and lit fires, and there were iron thunderbolts blowing up beside them, and my partners were all dead. ”

"Last night, those who pretended to be dead and were driven back were all beheaded, and we are also dead when we look back, so it is better to run away."

Those who had already come yesterday asked, "Could it be that the private relatives around those nobles didn't rush today?" ”

"Rush a fart?"

One of the deserters scolded disdainfully and said, "Before, there were some private subordinates and skilled fighters, who gave more money, and they rushed after we rushed over." ”

"What's the use of rushing through? A group of people were blocked in the recesses, and the muskets on both sides were shot down together, and half of them died before they could even climb the wall. Yesterday was so dead, today is still so dead, Gongzi is no more than a child, what do you know about war? ”

After scolding, these people also said with an iron heart: "As soon as we saw that we would have to die if we stayed, we ran away." When the battle is over, go out and surrender, but don't give your life to the nobles. ”

These words are exactly what most of the fugitives are in their hearts, and the private subordinates around the nobles can't be captured, and I'm afraid that this city can't be captured either.

It was not yet dark, but the sun was dark, and it was about to rain, and the air was very hot.

These fugitives had nothing to eat in their hands, and after a day of hunger, fortunately there were a few mulberry trees nearby, just picking some wild vegetables such as mulberries and reed sprouts to satisfy their hunger.

This is a place close to the mountains, the farmland is far away from here, and I am afraid that I will be caught when I go out, and at this time the wheat has been harvested, and the corn is not ripe, and there is nothing to eat.

One of the people who escaped looked at the sky: "Look at this day, I'm afraid it's going to rain." ”

When he said this, he didn't say anything about the situation on the battlefield, everyone present knew that the Mo family had more firearms, but under the thinking of this era, you can't fight on a rainy day, this is a rule, or a habitual truth formed by hundreds of years of war.

It's not that I don't know that I can take the opportunity to attack the Mo family when it rains, but because it is difficult to even assemble a team when it rains, and the army of any country can impact or march in the army, which is enough to dominate the world.

Instead of expressing an opinion on the battle situation, it was naturally for the sake of everyone's situation, and the man said: "If it rains, there must be a place to shelter from the rain." ”

"Aren't there still those with swords? I think it's all up, first divide a few people to build a grass hut to shelter from the rain, and the rest of the people will collect mulberry seeds, reed sprouts, cattail grass roots and the like to eat. I see that there are naphthalene fruits on the mountain, and they can all be eaten. ”

"All those who take some pains, and those who take the trouble of building a house, will eat the fruit. If you take the trouble of picking the fruit, you will be able to avoid the rain. Don't be lazy......"

After he finished speaking, the forty or fifty fugitives present all said: "You are right, we didn't expect it. I pushed you as the leader, but we survived these few days together, and I think the fight will be over soon......"

This was a very normal thing, but when he pretended to be dead in front of the battle yesterday, he was mentally tortured by all kinds of contradictory principles, and the fugitive of the Yang Zhu School chuckled in his heart.

When he was in Linzi, the Mo family often lectured, and his master was from the Yang Zhu school, and he often argued with the Mo family, but he had heard a lot of Mo family remarks.

At this moment, I couldn't help but think of the words of the Mo family that I heard in Linzi.
