This is precisely the reason why Shi needs to bring his own troops to fight this battle, which is not a tactical battlefield victory or defeat, but a relationship with future strategy.

If South Korea does not send troops, the biggest result that the Mo family can achieve is to connect the Song Kingdom and Nanyang in Sishang, forming a situation in which the eastern and western lines are each other's horns.

This situation is very beautiful, but it will not reverse the situation of the joint efforts of the princes in the future, and it can only be said that this is the best result obtained under the worst plan.

The key to this lies in the fact that once the Great Sima of Chu is lured to flee north and the interception is successful, it is not necessary to go to Sleep, Shangcai, and Xianghe immediately, but to the north and make a posture of threatening South Korea.

When to go north and when to go west is crucial, and you need to make decisions close to the front line for fear of delaying the warplane.

Use a means of oppression to force South Korea to send troops, thereby increasing the chances of South Korea sending troops.

If South Korea really has a figure like the "Covenant Chief" in later generations, then it can only prepare for the final decisive battle, which is no way, and it is impossible to pin all hopes on the other side is a fool.

South Korea is not strong, not even stronger than the Qi State at this time, but the Mo family's defense and counterattack on the inner line is a force, and South Korea, which has entered the field army for hundreds of miles and has not been destroyed, is another strength.

In fact, as long as South Korea recognizes the situation, it is to learn to shrink the turtle and wait for the countries to form an alliance, and the Mo family has no way at this time.

The main force can't go too far for fear of being stolen by the Qi State; The western front could not support the central line, fearing that Qin would seize Danyang; In the case of the Han Field Corps, Wei Han could not garrison the fortified city and could only choose to attack quickly, and the quick attack must have a heavy counterweight stone thrower and a large number of artillery, which made it impossible to be fast and expensive.

But all of this is something that can be fought for.

If the siege of the fortress near Yangxia can shake the princes again, so that Korea will have the illusion that "Yangxia can't hold it, and the Korean cities will also fall in an instant".

Once this illusion is generated, the possibility of South Korea sending troops will increase considerably.

Once Korea sends troops, the situation of the alliance of princes working together will collapse, leaving three months for the annihilation of the Korean field army, and within three months seize the opportunity to return to Sishang, and the Qi State will be instigated and then march into Wei and Wei, and choose to make peace with the Mo family.

The South Korean field army will not be destroyed for a day, and Shi actually does not have the courage to attack South Korea when the western front needs to divide troops and the eastern front needs to be localized.

On the other hand, if South Korea thinks that after the Mo family defeats the remnants of the Chu State, it is likely to go north to attack Korea and can break the city in an instant, so that the field army can attack and defend by attacking, then it can give full play to its own advantages to destroy the field army of South Korea, and then entering Korea will be like entering a no-man's land.

If the land is lost, the people and the land are lost; There is still something to be done if people have lost land.

It's a very simple sixteen words, but I don't know if there are any talented people in Korea who can understand these sixteen words.

In order to achieve the purpose of luring the South Korean troops to choose the battle, Shi did not wait for the sappers to dig a zigzag trench, but only waited until the artillery suppressed a few copper cannons of the Chu army on the fortress, and then ordered these counterweight stone throwers to attack.

It can be clearly seen that the defensive forces of the Chu army are concentrated on the face of the fortress, because after learning the lessons of the battle of Dangshan that year, the Chu people did not use a large number of stones to build in front, so as not to produce a large number of bouncing iron bullets.

Instead, they chose to cover a thick layer in front with rammed earth, the advantage of rammed earth is that as long as the thickness is sufficient, it is not easy to make the iron of the copper cannon bounce, and it can also absorb a certain amount of energy - if it is stone, the smashed gravel will also form a huge damage.

This spirit of progress in the war is commendable, and it can be said that Zhuxia has never lacked talents, and each vassal state has enough smart people.

But due to the constraints of the times, they can't think that long-term.

…………

On the fortress, the general of the state of Chu looked at the zigzag trench that began to spread under the city, and his face was solemn.

He was born in a low-level aristocracy, and he was also a person sent by the King of Chu to Sishang to "study", so he was very clear about this tactic in Sishang.

Although there was a coup d'état in the state of Chu, it was not a murder of the king after all, and the kings that they were loyal to were normal and died of illness, and they did not have the ability to participate in the coup, so they chose to continue to be loyal to the king of Chu.

It is also strange to say that these people, who have studied in Sishang for many years and instilled love for Kyushu for many years, are the group of people who are most likely to develop "national consciousness".

The nobles of various countries who went to Sishang to study were basically divided into two factions.

After a long period of study, a group developed a feeling of "Kyushu identity".

Because the Mohist things of love, non-aggression, synonym, and benefiting the people are essentially concepts that transcend the princes and states.

A few years ago, after taking advantage of the opportunity of the Fengchi meeting to end without a problem, he took the opportunity to purge the "non-offensive faction", and the "nationalist" consciousness that had just emerged in Sishang was extinguished.

Therefore, after a large part of the aristocratic children who are studying have undergone this kind of indoctrination, coupled with the fact that the Mo family has always regarded Dayu as the saint, it naturally produced a consciousness of "the hegemony of the world is actually harmful to the people".

Their identification of identity is the descendants of Yan and Huang and the queen of Yao Shun, rather than the Chu people, Wei people, and Qi people, which are the three views brought about by the doctrine of love.

Even if they return home, this group of people belongs to the part of the people who can be united, and they have no interest in war, and even think that it is "the king's thirst for murder".

On the other hand, it's the opposite.

After learning a lot of knowledge in Sishang, they developed the national identity of "Chu people", "Wei people", and "Qi people", believing that they were not the so-called people of the world in Sishang, but belonged to the Chu people.

They were moved by the community of the "Chu State" that they imagined, because they themselves were the ruling class of the Chu State, so it was difficult for them to understand the insensitivity of the people at the bottom of the Chu State, and it was difficult for them to understand why the people at the bottom of the Chu State would choose to accept the idea of the unity of Kyushu with love.

When these people were studying in Sishang, their performance was obvious.

They wore high crowns that were unique to the Chu State and inherited from the witchcraft priests, and wore short swords that were characteristic of the Chu State, all as different as possible from others to show their identity as Chu people.

A few years ago, when Sishang began to purge the non-offensive factions, they were also affected because they got together with some people in Sishang to "say strange things".

For example, to say that Mozi's ideas were originally sovereign equality, non-aggression, non-interference, etc., the idea of appropriateness is to revise Mozi's doctrine.

For example, Sishang is now rich, but he still has to export the morality of the Mo family for the ridiculous idea of benefiting the world, which leads to chaos in the world.

Regarding the explanation given by Lu Yanggong who wanted to attack Zheng Mozi to stop it, they privately connected and said that the appropriate interpretation was wrong, because the concept of equality of all people was derived from it, and in fact, the equality of states and countries was Mozi's original intention, and so on.

For the prosperous life of Sishang now, it is wrong to think that "only the great profits of the world can continue to benefit themselves", and it is not worth thinking that the people of Sishang are tied up by the Mo family to die for the benefit of the Mo family.

And so on and so forth.

When Sishang began to purge those non-offensive ideas, because these people were sent by the king of Chu, the Mo family had no way to deal with them, and they still needed to continue to deceive the Chu State to make the Chu State believe that the Mo family was going to go north instead of going south, so they had to expel them from Sishang.

Soon after this group of people returned to the state of Chu, some of the classmates who identified with the world and loved both stayed in Sishang, and some returned to the state of Chu, and this part of the people who returned to the state of Chu were excluded by them.

Now commanding above the fortress is the group that has begun to produce a hazy identity of the Chu people.

Since these people have studied in Sishang, of course, they can't escape the intelligence of the Supervision and Inspection Department.

In fact, there is a list within the Supervision and Inspection Department, and for the kind of people in the city who are on the list, once they are captured, they will not even have the opportunity to be sent to reform, and they will all be loaded into ships and exiled overseas, and they are resolutely not allowed to stay in Kyushu.

The commander of the city did not know that the Moshi under the city knew his information well, nor did he know that he would face the fate of exile once captured, and now all he wanted was to be loyal to his king and fight for his country.

Looking at the trench being dug under the city, the Chu commander in the city was nervous, but also calm.

He knew this siege tactic of the Mo family, and even understood why he dug a zigzag trench instead of a direct impact.

Even if he didn't know geometry, he could even judge the level of the Mojia sappers digging pits on it and praised it again and again, and praised the corners of the zigzag.

He knew that the Mo family's siege tactics were very rigid, and the old-fashioned military academy even had regulations on how many people to dig each time, how many people to send each time to weave baskets, and so on.

But he also knew that this very rigid tactic was extremely effective.

After the artillery suppression, once the sappers dug the trench in front of them, then the angular advantage of the defending side was gone.

The advantage of the angular advantage lies in the fact that they are concave to each other, so that in any direction, the front of the besieging side will always face three times as many defenders.

And after the trench was dug close to the artillery suppression, the concave corner actually became a face-to-face parallel surface, and the Mo family sent a hundred people to attack the city, and he could only use a hundred people to counterattack.

Fortunately, there is always an advantage in defending the city, and after learning the lessons of the offensive and defensive battles of Dangshan City, the rammed earth on the front was thickened, so that the copper cannons of the Mo family could only suppress the artillery on the city, but there was no way to rely on gravel and jumping iron bullets to kill and injure the defenders on the anticline.

As long as the defenders are still able to organize effectively, then the Mo family will have to pay a one-to-one price for attacking the city.

In this city, there are a total of 2,500 soldiers, and if they can hold on, the Mo family will have to pay at least more than 2,000 elites.

From the beginning of the Mo family to the present with gunpowder siege, never paid the price of more than 1,000 people, the Chu people who defended the city thought that if they died, they would also go down in history, be loyal to the king, die for the country, and will break the myth that the Mo family lost less than 100 in the siege.

He had faith in the fortress, but also in his charisma, and even more so in his knowledge.

Where the pit was dug and the gunpowder was buried, he made all the preparations; He had expected the situation of artillery suppression, and he also knew that this point of force could not counterattack, so he retreated the bronze cannon to the second fortress, gave up counter-suppression, and waited for the Mo family to bombard the breakthrough when they began to attack the city; The irrigation ditch under the city determined the direction of the Mohists' attacks; The thick rammed earth determined the Mo family's superiority, and the artillery could only suppress but not kill.

Under the gap in strength, it is nothing more than death, but it can shock the world to die - someone can actually kill and injure more than 1,000 people of the Mo family under the main advantage of the Mo family!

However, just when he thought he was going to make history, he saw some packages falling from the sky.

These strange things crossed the rammed earth slope that could protect against shelling, and landed in an extremely high trajectory behind the rammed earth slope hidden soldiers.

Behind these falling creatures from the sky dragged some long, sparkling tails.

It's like...... The comet that passed through the sky last year.
