This time, the Jin-Zheng coalition forces interfered with the Chu State and basically had no battles before.

The Hits surrendered without fighting. There was a lot of Korean cities nearby, and there were not much sense of belonging to the Chu State.

The young master's attack was fierce, and the Qiang and Zima each had their own ulterior motives. The Three Kingdoms coalition forces were not subordinate to each other, but they only cooperated during the battle.

The scout had previously reported that there were Mo people in Niu Lanyi and were repairing the city wall.

Wei Ji didn't care. Niu Lan and the Mo family had nothing to do with defending the city here. Before, when Qin Huali went to Wei to lobby for the rescheduling of war, although Wei Si was more courteous, Gongzi Ji was extremely dissatisfied with some of the principles of the Mo family.

The battle in Shangqiu spread all over the world. The young master did not look down on the Mo family's city defense technology, but this time the Mo family just came forward to help, and it was impossible to have another night attack and penetrate the formation.

Just the scout's words made the young master puzzled.

The scout reported that Niu Lanyi's city walls were very different from other places. They looked like stars shining brightly and could not be in a square shape at all.

The scouts are not clear about the specific situation in the city. The city gates were closed early and there were patrols when they were traveling, so it was difficult to detect the situation in the city.

When it was fifty miles away from Niu Lanyi, Gongzi Ji invited Qiang, Zima and others to discuss the capture of Niu Lanyi.

"Niu Lan is north of Luyang. If you want to break the Lu Pass, you must pass the Marshe River. If you want to pass the Marshe River, you must pass the Luyang. If you want to take Luyang, you must break the Niu Lan. This place is dangerous and you can stockpile food and grass for a decisive battle with the Duke of Luyang."

"If the Niu Lan is not broken, the battle ahead will be in a state of siege, and the city of Luyang needs to be transported, and food and grass may be attacked."

The Prince attacks fought all year round, from Zhongshan Kingdom to Xihe and then to Pingyin of Qi Kingdom. He was proficient in the battle formation and knew that the Chu people, Luyang Gong, was a powerful general. If he could kill Luyang Gong in one battle, his reputation would inevitably be irritated.

Han Shuai and Qiang participated in the Battle of Linqiu, where he saw the famous defender of Mo Shengchuo, and advised: "There is indeed a great deal for defending the city by the Mo family. In the battle of Shangqiu, tens of thousands of Chu people were besieged and defeated. In the battle of Linqiu, although Shengchuo rebelled against Mo, he also helped Gongsun Hui to defend Linqiu, so that the people of Qi could not destroy the city."

The young master nodded and said, "I know this. Now I have 70,000 soldiers and more than 2,000 chariots. I just surrendered and gathered with people, and my morale is in full swing. Niu Lanyi must be attacked with one qi, and it cannot be besieged, but can only attack for force. Otherwise, the general of Luyang Gong Shi Chu, who will take advantage of our fatigue, will he invite the battle?"

He also had a different idea in his mind.

He had experienced the battle of attacking Qi and heard about the Battle of Shangqiu. The reputation of the Mo family defending the city spread throughout the world. He was about to defeat Niu Lan to declare that he would win the battle invincible.

Moreover, his idea was very correct.

The siege of the city was very unfavorable for the Jin-Zheng coalition. After all, the real target was Luyang, not the small Niu Lanyi.

He divided his troops to siege the city, but he was afraid that he would not have enough troops to fight against the Luyang Gong.

If it can be defeated in one fell swoop, it will greatly increase the morale of the soldiers, especially many soldiers living in the capital of the Great City have heard of the stories and legends of the Mo family.

The young master attacked: "The Mo family guards Niu Lan, it should not be announced, otherwise the soldiers will be afraid. However, once the city is broken, they will immediately publicize the Mo family to help the Chu people defend. Even the Mo family can break through the city. If the soldiers listen to the Mo family's stories in the market, their morale will be greatly boosted."

Immediately sent an order to ask the scout Yan to stop the mouth. After two more days, he slowly came to Niu Lanyi and set up camp outside the city.

After looking at Niu Lanyi from a distance, Young Master Ji was also confused.

Although I heard the scout that Niu Lanyi's city walls were different from other places, and they looked like stars, but they had never seen them with their own eyes before.

Gongzi Ji stood in the carriage and looked at Niu Lan for a while. He pointed at Niu Lan and smiled: "The Mo family is strange. The city is built like this, but there is no use. Could it be that it is a saying of ghosts and gods?"

Zhi Qiang advised: "Don't underestimate the enemy."

The young master nodded and said, "I know the Mo family's abilities. We should take strict precautions tonight, send scouts to check the movements in the Luyang area, and camp at night to prevent the Mo family from attacking at night. We will prepare wood and equipment tomorrow and attack the city the next day."

"I think of Niu Lan Xiaoyi, from my perspective, there are only a few thousand peasant soldiers. You and I have 70,000 people, you can siege them from three sides so that they cannot look around. If you attack quickly, you will be able to break the city within one day!"

"We might as well see, where the warriors from Wei, Han, and Zheng climbed to the top of the city. If the city breaks, reward the three armies and fight the Chu army at that time!"

After saying that, I made arrangements and camped on the spot, prepared firewood and buried a pit to cook.

There was no words all night, and the Immortals in the city did not go out of the city to attack at night.

On the second day, the Three Kingdoms coalition sent soldiers to cut down trees in the distance, and ordered the archers to form a formation and sent a small group of provocative men to show off their power on the city wall, waiting for the city to be unable to defend and go out to rush out, but there was no movement.

In the afternoon, the man who was proficient in Chuyu took a car to the city and promoted nonsense that the King of Chu was incorrect in his throne and that the prince was the legal heir. However, the nobles in the city had already gathered in the army of Luyang Gong, and the propaganda methods of these people were not as useful as those of the Mo people.

At night, by the bonfire, the craftsmen who followed the army were busy making ladders, rushing cars, etc. Many of the tools in their hands were iron tools produced in Pei County.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sun came out, the Three Kingdoms coalition had already launched and prepared to attack the city.

The Zheng army attacked the north and the Han army attacked the south. The Wei army was the most powerful, so they attacked the east side and supported the two wings at the same time, in order to separate the Han and Zheng armies.

Inside the city.

Shi and Meng Sheng and others stood on the high tower and observed the movements outside the city.

Shi smiled and said, "This time, the coalition forces will attack urgently. Niu Lanyi is not Shangqiu, and it will not siege the city slowly like the Chu army. There are many people and the power is spread out in full, so that the city cannot be guarded."

Meng Sheng nodded and said, "That's true, but it saves a lot of trouble. If you have to attack quickly, you will not pile up the earthen goats, nor will you dig a cave to break the city. Jin and Zheng are in full swing, and today we can see our methods."

Seeing that the coalition forces outside the city had already begun to take action, Shi roughly calculated the number of coalition forces, judged the flag, and nodded: "The Wei army is the strongest, with the largest number. Han and Zheng Shiqiu, I think it is necessary for the Wei army to suppress it before they can form an alliance and join the prince's decision."

"It seems that we have to siege the city from three sides. The Zheng people have the smallest number, so we will let the Zheng people retreat first. Go one side first, and it will be much easier to guard it."

He observed the movements on the opposite side again, determined the direction of the action on the opposite side, and said, "I think this is how it is. Let the gunners concentrate on the east wall and bombard the Wei army to block their assembly and get closer. The Wei army has never seen the cannon, so they must be panicked. The long-range formation bombardment several times can make their elite soldiers gather slowly."

"If you want to defend the Korean side, just keep it to the death."

"I am the commander of five hundred musketeers to defend the north wall. If I do not attack the Zheng people, the Zheng army will definitely approach the city wall earlier. At that time, the Zheng people will inevitably be defeated by raiding with musketeers. At this time, the Wei people are afraid that they have just approached the city wall, and I will be the commander of the musketeers to help the battle."

After hearing the appropriate plan, the two of them said, "This is just right."

Hu Feizi temporarily came to the center to support him, Meng Sheng personally led his people to the east wall, where the other people in the south wall were in charge.

Several pine wood cannons that could only be used three or five times were placed on the east wall to prevent accidents and insufficient firepower was needed under the attack of the Wei people.

There was no hurry, and only five hundred musketeers were allowed to stand by below.

The drums sounded outside and the queue began to move. The archers were gathering into a formation and pressing the formation in front.

The elite warriors were wearing leather armor. They were the main force in siege. After the archer shot, they needed to line up to break the city with all their might.

Ten bronze cannons were pushed by the people to the platform reserved on the high platform of the city wall. The ink-man who used to operate the relay machine and crossbow were loading gunpowder and iron balls step by step, staring at some trees or stones reserved outside the city as reference objects.

What reference objects are used and how many wooden wedges to be placed under the cannon are calculated in advance.

They have tried it several times and know that the power of this thing is much greater than that of a transducer or other equipment, but they are not afraid in their hearts.

The two large-caliber stone shooting cannons are not used for the time being, and the angle is basically fixed, just outside the city gate of the east gate.

Although the Wei army outside the city was preparing for formation, there was no sign of attack for the time being. They had to wait until the Zheng and Han armies were in their positions before they attacked.

This blatant mobilization was because the 70,000 people could not perform such a small city. At the same time, they also clearly told the city to siege three sides in order to disperse the defenders in the city.

When the number exceeds several times, any side can be regarded as the main attack direction.

There was no rush, waiting quietly for the Zheng and Han armies to unfold, observing the movements of the Wei army. The concave city wall of the polygon can allow more people to unfold at one time, and also use the advantage of polygon shooting flanks to make every attack cost a huge price.

When artillery soldiers are gathered together, these artillery will not result in any result of deciding the outcome, but it can turn the situation of attacking on three sides at the same time into the Zheng and Han armies attacking first, staggering the time difference so as to accommodate the few maneuvering forces in their hands, which can be changed from one to two by time difference.

After about an hour of struggle, the siege troops of Zheng and Han armies finally spread out on both sides, drums sounded loudly, and the Wei army began to shout.

Shi waved the flag on the high tower and signaled the preparation of the cannon on the east side.

Convinced that the Zheng and Han armies had already started and it was impossible to regroup and change the direction of the siege in a short time, so they assembled the five hundred musketeers below and advanced to the north on the corridor within the city wall.

The gunners of the Mo family used to use transducers and crossbows. They knew very well what their purpose was. They also heard the commands conveyed. They looked nervously at the reference objects in the distance, and the dark Wei army was about to move.

Outside the city, the young master was riding a car and was sending an order. He did not have to carry the arrows and stones, so he was far away from the range of the bow and arrow.

The two teams were lined up between the archers.

The archer slowly walked forward, trying to get close to the city wall and shoot to suppress the defenders on the city wall. However, the city wall was not a neat rectangle, but a strange polygon, so he had to get closer.

The elite troops shoot when they hear the drum and stop when they hear the drum. These are all elite troops of the Wei army, with neat arrays, far from comparable to those assistants of peasants.
