There are many people who climb the sacred Chuqiu Jingshan with the six fingers, and looking at the endless mulberry forest scenery, it is more of an extremely "philistine" and "vulgar" idea.

For example, the mulberry forest in their eyes is just a mulberry forest, the leaves can raise silkworms, and then they can spin silk and then weave silk; Many trees are lush and green in your forest.

The army is now stationed near Sanglin, close to Shangqiu, and the two brigades as the vanguard have been stationed in Shangqiu to help maintain order and stabilize people's hearts.

There was no fierce battle before, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and the nobles of those fiefs did not gather, and it was difficult to defend their fiefs at all.

Many people wanted to flee, but the cavalry came out in all directions, stuck at various intersections, captured a lot, and did not give them a chance to escape.

Now most of the remaining nobles of the Song Kingdom have gathered their forces south of Suishui, which can be regarded as destroying their families and relieving their difficulties, and they want to continue the stalemate in order to win the opportunity for various countries to send troops to intervene.

The efficient mobilization system and the standing army system bought Sishang at least two months, and it was impossible for the princes to assemble and send troops to intervene within two months.

When sending troops, Shi told Six Fingers to be fast, cut through the mess quickly, the sooner the better, and stabilize the situation of the Song Kingdom, so that it was too late for all countries to intervene.

Six Fingers also faithfully carried out the orders above, and this was the first time he commanded a battle as the commander of a side, which could be regarded as a practice.

It's just that this time the practice is quite boring, and so far there is no opponent worth fighting.

The people of the Song Kingdom were very familiar with the Mo family, especially the cities and villages along the Surabaya, and they did not feel that this was an invasion, but felt that it was normal, and it would be abnormal if they did not send troops.

The Mo family's policy in the Song State also continued the previous strategy, only moving the big nobles, not moving the industrial and commercial people and the small nobles who had transformed into operating landlords, anyway, as long as the big nobles and the people were enough to eat and get enough land, there was no need to be too radical.

The six fingers were stationed in Chuqiu, mainly to guard against the direction of Wei and Han, and the mission of the Peiyi Army this time was to enter the Song Dynasty from the northern front, and after quickly pacifying the situation in the Song Kingdom, it would be stationed on the border of Wei, Han and Song.

The Pengcheng army advanced along Suishui from the south, seized the important border pass on the Song-Chu border, and guarded against the movements of the Chu state.

Sishang was ready for all-out war, although he did not want war at this time.

The Peiyi Legion and the Pengcheng Legion will advance north and south at that time, compressing the Song nobles in a small area of Suishui and Shashui, and annihilating them as much as possible.

If Wei Hanchu intervened, it would definitely be to fight Shangqiu, whose geographical location is very important, and it is an important node for eastward and southward expansion.

Wei Han would not choose to send troops from the direction of Heze and go straight to the hinterland of Sishang, because the south of Heze and all the way to Peiyi are fortified areas, and with Wei Han's current siege methods, it will cost too much to gnaw a city.

If Wei, Han and Chu do not join forces, Sishang can be defeated individually; If the army is united, it will take more time to prepare, and the Song State can also complete the reform and integration, no matter how you look at it, Sishang is in a favorable position.

…………

A staff officer sent a copy of the latest information from the front to Six Fingers, and the cadres of the legion looked at it, unfolded the map, and pointed to Dangshan Yi and said: "They have gathered their army in Dangshan, it seems that they are preparing to resist stubbornly, waiting for Wei Chuhan to send troops." ”

"Isn't this throwing yourself into the net?"

Mangdang Mountain is the only mountainous area in the entire Song Kingdom, and it is also the place where the Han Gaozu beheaded the White Snake Uprising in later generations, saying that it is a mountainous area, in fact, the highest peak is only one hundred and ten meters, which is considered a hill.

However, this is a quarry in ancient times, and the stone materials are convenient, and the royal father's family built a very solid fiefdom here.

As the backyard of Sishang, the topography of the Song State itself is not complicated, and the staff officers of the army have long been aware of the hydrological characteristics of several rivers, and they cannot be effectively defended by relying on rivers.

A staff officer said: "The Song State is too small, all are plains, the noble rebels have no way to escape, the attitudes of the countries are ambiguous, and they can't withdraw into Chu Wei, so they can only choose to rely on Dangshan to resist." ”

"We are familiar with Dangshan, which is our important lime production area, and the lime on Sishang originates from Dangshan, and the cities there are easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"They also know that since we have sent troops, there is no chance of winning the field confrontation, so it is better to rely on the strong city to resist Wei Chuhan and send troops."

"Moreover, there are Daze all around, and it is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack."

At this time, there are many swamps near Dangshan, and the development of Dangshan in recent years has a great relationship with the great increase in the demand for lime in Sishang, as one of the few small mountains in the entire eastern Henan Great Plain, there are the best limestone in eastern Henan.

In a sense, the Song Kingdom and Sishang have been unified, because there is a perfect common market, which completely breaks the previous economic model of radiating Baili village community with the city as the center.

Previously, because of the friendship with the imperial father's family, the fiefdom of the imperial father's family in the Dangshan area had lime trade, and it developed well with money, and it was indeed a strong city.

It's just that Dangshan is too close to Pengcheng, and once the Peiyi Legion and the Pengcheng Legion complete the encirclement, it will be a place of death.

As you can imagine, there is no other option on the other side.

Six Fingers thought for a while, and then said: "Then don't be in a hurry first, clean up the surroundings first, and then hit Dangshan Mountain last." The Imperial Father's family gathered at most 30,000 remnants of nobles from all over the country there, plus the slaves and farmers there, if they were forced to defend the city, it would not be as many people as possible. ”

Another staff officer said: "The main thing is the city defense system of Dangshan, which was learned from our Si, and learned from the Jinyang of the Zhao family as the foundation of the imperial father's family, and there were many scholars who were proficient in geometry to help supervise the construction." ”

"It's a tough nut to crack. There must be a lot of food accumulation, and if you besiege it, you have to divide your troops, beware of Wei Chu sending troops, in case they send troops when the front line is fighting, it will be very disadvantageous. ”

With the spread of geometry and gunpowder, Sishang also began to encounter backlash, and the city defense system of Dangyi was the city defense system of the gunpowder era, abandoning the original model of rammed earth walls and plane walls, but increasing the side length.

Of course, the staff officers had a map of the city of Dangshan, and the six fingers had already seen it, but he didn't care, and said: "It is impossible to surround it." It's going to be hit, and it's going to be brought down quickly. ”

"It is said that the purpose of the war is to have the fewest casualties, and it is best to surround but not fight. But the war must serve the situation in the world, and this battle must still be fought, not only to fight, but also to show momentum, and to make Wei Chu tremble. ”

Six Fingers thought for a while and said: "If the nobles from all over the country flee there, a city will not be able to accommodate so many people, and the elite will definitely be left in Dangshan, and the rest of the miscellaneous army will be around the periphery, which is not easy to fight." ”

"When the time comes, the whole world will be staring at Dangshan."

"If we can capture it in a month, Wei Chuhan is even less likely to send troops. If they can take it in two months, they are only afraid that they will be shaken. If we don't take it for three months, we risk going to war on all sides. ”

The representative of the legion said: "The main consideration above is to wipe out this nobleman, don't let them run around, it will be difficult to deal with it if they flee to the Chu State." ”

"When we sent out the army, the imperial father and his family already knew that they could only choose to hold on and wait for the intervention of various countries, and it was a good move for him to stick to Dangshan. If we divide our forces, we will surely defeat each of them. ”

Six fingers patted his forehead and said: "This is the helplessness of the great battle in the world, if it is only the Song Kingdom, it is a dead end for him to take this step, and it is impossible for Dangshan to confront the rest of the cities of the Song Kingdom after all." But he had to wait for the intervention of various countries and stage a tragic battle to defend the city. ”

"It's hard to fight. We are not afraid of field battles, but the losses of the siege will be large, and after the first battle five years ago, all countries have some understanding of our means of attacking the city, and they will be prepared. ”

"It's just that they don't know why."

Speaking of this, Six Fingers smiled, and the rest of the people laughed too.

There are many stones in the Dangshan area, and it is the place with the most stones in the Song region.

Stone is harder, harder than earth, but it is not the best material for building the slope in front of the fortress to resist artillery bombardment, but rather the seemingly useless earth is the most useful.

The scholars who were responsible for the construction of Dangshan did not know much about these principles, and only knew that they used stones instead of earth, and that they had made edges and corners and lengthened the sides with reference to the city defense system in Sishang, but they made a fatal mistake: they used stones and bricks where they should have used earth.

This is all the experience piled up with human life, and the experience of Sishang is also piled up by human life, but it is not piled up by the life of people in this time and space.

…………

Dangshan.

Inside the city, the crowds are dense and dense, and the nobles and nobles are boosting the declining morale, claiming that this is a war for the sake of propriety and justice, but the effect of propaganda is really limited.

The conscripted soldiers did not understand, and the etiquette and the righteousness of their nobility were not good things for the peasants.

The royal father's family also learned from Sishang to get some "Xuanyi Department", which were all served by some real gentlemen, instilling the righteousness of the world, but with little effect.

Because there really doesn't make sense.

Gentlemen have the righteousness of gentlemen, and the common people have the righteousness of the common people, but it is really difficult to talk about the truth that you cannot only rely on gentlemen, but also on the common people.

Several true gentlemen climbed up and shouted: "We are all descendants of Yin Shang, and we are standing here to fight to defend our society, the glory of our ancestors, and the rules of the world. ”

"The Mohists want everyone to be equal? That's a joke, God has already destined a person's nobility and cheapness, and only the mandate of heaven can determine the nobility of a person, not the Mohists. They want to go against the odds, and they will eventually fail. ”

God divides us into gentlemen and commoners, but He wants us to love one another, not hate one another. The Mo family instigated this kind of hatred, artificially divided the people who are in harmony in the world into two classes, without the Mo family, there would be no class hatred, it is they who have destroyed the benevolence of the world, but what do they have to talk about and love......"
