Chapter 226: A Hundred Feet of Collusion Between Inside and Out (Twenty-one)
Although there are many ways to siege the city, the most cost-effective one is to attack the city wall directly.
Weapons such as crashing and crashing cars, the mechanics of the ink man can be cracked, and they are useless.
Ladders and other equipment can be combined with ant-attached siege cities.
In addition, the offensive has advanced in the past few days, the sheep moat has been stabilized, the moat has been basically filled, and the hidden weapons such as "dog walking" under the Mo family have also been basically cleared.
As long as they survive a rain of arrows, the Chu people can directly reach a distance of 100 feet from the city wall and launch a direct attack from there.
There is no need for any more arrangement, all that is needed is enough elite soldiers and enough noble private armor to defeat Shangqiu in one fell swoop.
The king of Chu ordered, everyone obeyed, and immediately began to rectify their own private belongings, and many low-level nobles also needed to go into battle in person, striving to break Shangqiu before the situation in the city was completely clear.
As long as the side that succeeds in the coup d'Γ©tat has not had time to complete the purge and extermination, then there is still a chance for the situation in Shangqiu to be completely controlled by the Chu people.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The defense on the city wall is borne by Mozi. In terms of Mozi's organization, Mozi was a giant, but in terms of the tasks assigned at this time, it was Mozi's self-undertaken task to defend the Shangqiu city wall with the least number of troops.
Inside the city, the hundreds of Pei County volunteers behind the whole team slowly advanced in a phalanx of spears, and it was not the first time they had participated in the battle, but it was the first time they had participated in the battle in this way.
The neat steps and the sound of the drums were in harmony with each other, like the sound of a harp and a chorus, so in perfect harmony that it seemed as if the ground was trembling with these steps.
Gongzaoye and other dry ink people wore black curtains on their heads and walked on the side of the procession.
Behind him were the assembled soldiers of the people who had gathered in the name of guarding the city walls.
They were originally peasant soldiers, and as conscripted feudal conscripts, they had a certain combat ability, but more to make up the numbers.
Just as Shi Xiang, who was marching on the side of the team, thought, if he really couldn't deter those nobles, then today's battle would depend on the Peixian righteous division, and even the elite of the ink people had to come forward and go into battle shirtless.
The movements of these people quickly aroused the alarm of the nobles who had not yet broken through the palace gates.
The defense of the palace was stronger than before, and the armor soldiers who held fast were extremely tenacious because they were commanded by the good Mo masters, and the Mo people encouraged them to tell them that things would change if they persisted, coupled with the rewards offered by Song Gong.
And the death impact of the last gentlemen of the late Spring and Autumn Period, such as Gongsun Ze, also caused the nobles of the coup to divide a lot of troops.
Even if there is still a large amount of anger and incited people, it is not possible to take the inner city in a moment.
After someone reported the changes of the ink artist to their uncles Cen Xi and Da Yin, the nobles couldn't help but be shocked.
No matter how you look at it, there is no possibility for the ink artist to intervene.
Because Da Yin feels that the people's desire is now on his side. It is impossible for the ink to betray the people's will, so this time, except for waiting for the order of the armistice alliance on the city wall, it is impossible for the ink to come forward to participate in the coup in person.
Da Yin hurriedly asked Xiao Si Kou, "Haven't you seen Mo Zhai?" β
Xiao Si Kou said repeatedly: "I have indeed seen him. He also swore to the ghosts and gods that the Mo Scholar would not violate his own morality, let alone the will of the majority of the people! β
"Mo Zhai is the most important ghost and god, and he has never betrayed his word, can't he believe his words?"
After Da Yin asked carefully, he was puzzled: "No, with my understanding of Mo Zhai, it is impossible for him to tell a lie." β
Uncle Cen Xi exclaimed: "If the ink man comes forward, then he can only divide the armor again, not only to block the ink man, but also to break through the gate of the inner city before the ink man attacks." β
Da Yin said: "Don't panic, the matter has come to this point, only one side is attacking the inner door with all his strength, and on the other hand, he asks what the ink master means." β
He asked the messenger what he had seen.
The messenger said, "I saw the people of Peiyi, who had come with the Mo, pouring out of their nests, armed with spears, in groups of thirty people, marching in the market. β
"The spears are very long, and the people in the front row are all in armor. Another person has a small drum around his waist, and another person has a whistle and the like, and the sound of the drum matches the footsteps. β
The crowd marched forward, and there was no sound except footsteps and the sound of flutes and drums. The front row seems to have a small shield on the arm. β
"The Mo family's Gongzao Ye and others followed closely and went together."
"After the people of Peiyi, there are thousands of apprentices and people, I can't be clear, followed by only the appropriate people of the Mo family."
"The procession of those Peiyi people seems to have the aura of a soldier, and I am afraid that it cannot be broken. They marched like moving woods, and the spears were shining brightly, and they could not be stopped by man. β
After the person who reported the message told him what he had seen, Uncle Cen Xiqi said: "I know that there are many scholars among the ink scholars, but where are those people in Peiyi who are scholars?" How can you go in and out of such an army? β
Da Yin heard the key question, and without waiting for the person who returned to answer the uncle's question, he interrupted and asked the person who reported the news: "As you said, those ink people are not all dispatched?" β
"Exactly, there aren't many ink writers. Only a few dozen followed, and they wore black curtains on their heads and wrapped their arms around labels to distinguish themselves from the crowd. β
Da Yin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that you can still talk!" I have long said that the people of the Mo family will not care about the change of monarch, and they have no possibility of making a move. β
The crowd asked, "What can I do about it?" β
Da Yin said: "The ink man must come to mediate, for the sake of not hurting the people." If they want us to say yes, we will say something. But I'm afraid that if we want to stop this expulsion, everything we have done before will be in vain. β
"That being the case, with all my might to storm the inner city, I went to talk to the inkers, ask them, and stall for time. You must take the Gate of the Wall as soon as possible! β
"If Zitian is killed before the Ink Maker arrives, then what is the use of them even if they come?"
The people of the country can riot and participate in the coup d'Γ©tat, but they have no right to inherit. The monarch can be replaced, but the monarch must also be elected from the office, which is the rule of the world at this time, and no one can fail to abide by it, at least not yet.
Therefore, all Da Yin needs is Zitian to die. In this way, the monarch's belonging can only be a person of their line, even if the ink person comes forward, it is meaningless.
The ink is not a nobleman, let alone a secretary, so he cannot imitate the division of the three families.
When everyone saw Da Yin say this, they also knew that the matter was urgent, and they couldn't delay it any longer.
Or someone thought of a way, prepared firewood and grass, etc., demolished the house, and prepared to burn the gate of the palace.
The palace is gone, and it can be repaired again, as long as Zitian is dead.
Da Yin rode by car, with the armor and several nobles, to the road where the righteous master of Pei County and the soldiers of the country went to meet the ink and delay time.
Xiao Si Kou walked with Da Yin, and when he got close to those teams, he couldn't help but marvel.
He had never seen such a neat procession, and the sound of footsteps and drums seemed to drown out the rest of the sounds, and these men, who were obviously only peasant soldiers, marched like elite armor.
These men did not have chariots, nor were they apprentices who followed the chariot charge, but only a kind of soldier who marched on foot.
Xiao Si Kou said secretly: "The tiger of the year, and the gentleman of Yue, I'm afraid it's just like that!" β
Looking at the thousands of peasant soldiers following behind, although they are not neat, they maintain the most basic organization, and the spears are messy but there are many people.
Gongzaoye and others, who were at the forefront, distanced themselves from Peixian Yishi, and the clothes on their bodies were obviously different from those people.
On the other side, I saw the frame of Da Yin and the others, and I didn't know what to shout, but as soon as the flute sounded, the drum suddenly stopped, and the footsteps stopped, and they stood there like a forest of spears.
When Xiao Si Kou got out of the car, Shi and Gong Zaoye and the others were already in front, and Xiao Si Kou took the lead in asking, "What does Mo mean?" β
"I once asked Mr. Mo Zhai, and now the people think that Zitian is guilty, so they want to expel him. Mr. Mo Zhai also said that he will not violate the morality of the Mo people, nor will he go against the will of the people, but I don't know what you are going to do? β
Shi came forward and said: "The ink man has no intention, but the people of the Song Dynasty have the intention." β
"The ink man doesn't want to have more deaths and injuries in the city, and it is also for the people in the city, so he hopes to do Huayuan and Xiang Yan, and ask both sides to call off the army."
Xiao Si Kou looked at the righteous master of Pei County, and said in his heart, Aren't these people the armor of your ink masters?
Just after Shi said it clearly, Xiao Si Kou asked, "Is it possible to go against the will of the people?" β
Shi shook his head and said, "You can't go against it." But the will of the guards of the city was not to expel the king, but to gain profit. β
"The ink man adheres to the heart of benefiting the world, and can only come forward to mediate, hoping that both sides will strike the army."
At this time, the Peixian righteous master behind him seemed to hear some signal, and they shouted together, extremely neat, just like when Peixian was practicing, the startled little Si Kou almost couldn't stand.
Seeing this, Da Yin thought to himself that the Mo Maker was probably still trying to reconcile the boycott of the two sides after all, but he didn't know what the people were for?
It is said that since the people in the city are panicked and have a grudge against Zitian, where will they be willing to defend the city at this time?
Then there is the Mandate of Heaven nursery rhyme, the reason why the nobles staged a coup d'Γ©tat was that Zitian betrayed Chu and reused the pro-Jin Sicheng Emperor, that is, he announced to the city that as long as their coup was successful, they would form an alliance with Chu.
In this case, Da Yin couldn't figure out why these people would oppose him, let alone why these people would stand with the Mo, and he didn't know what benefits these people wanted.
Shi came forward to cross Xiao Sikou, directly greeted Yu Dayin, and asked: "Before the change in the city, the close attendant of the Duke of Song once saw Yu Zimozi, and said that Da Yin and you launched a rebellion, but in fact, it was just a siege method of the Chu people, so I asked the Mo to defend the city." β
As soon as these words came out, Da Yin's face changed drastically, knowing the rules and logic of the Mo people, if it was really regarded as a means for the Chu people to attack the city, then the Mo Shi had a reason to intervene.
Moreover, he himself has a weak heart, after all, the granary in the city was burned by them, but I am afraid that the ink man will really ask for the guilt.
When he didn't know how to answer, he took the initiative to say: "But the giant thinks that this may not be the case." Just say that you don't punish your heart, you may be the siege method of the Chu people. β
"But perhaps, it is also for the people of Shangqiu not to suffer from the pain of Yizi, and maybe it is also for the ancestors of Song Zhisheji, which is also unknown."
"Therefore, the giant sent us to ask, is this chaos the siege method of the Chu people? Or is it for the people of Shangqiu and Song Zhisheji? β
