Wei Ji was also impatient and dissatisfied. Of course, he knew that something would happen if the city continued like this.

Not only did the losses of thousands of sieges twice within five days, the Zheng people were tired of war, and the Koreans would have different ideas in the future.

After attacking for a day, a few holes were dug under the city wall, which would be filled in at night, and the landfill moat would be dug open. To attack again tomorrow would be equivalent to starting from scratch.

I didn't dare to camp too close at night, so the iron balls on the top of the city would fall down at any time, so I could only let the people inside repair and dig at night.

If you choose to siege the city for a long time and rely on the method of exhausting the food in the city, that would not work. The Chu army of Duke of Luyang was staring at it, and the feudal kings of all parties in Chu were staring at the situation here.

Delaying, increasing troops continues to form a hegemonic decisive battle such as Chengpu and Liangtang involves the strategy of the entire situation, and the situation at this time does not allow Wei to do so.

Once you find that even a small city like Niu Lanyi cannot capture, the fenced Chu princes would naturally stand on the side of the King of Chu.

But if you want to capture Niu Lanyi, you have to exhaust your strength and be defeated by the Luyang Gong in the field. Even if it is a draw, the overall situation will be the same. Those fenced kings will still stand on the side of the King of Chu.

In the end, if the prince decides this card, it will be difficult to achieve the effect.

Before the young master came here, he thought that he had never lost a single defeat from Xihe to Zhongshan and then from Zhongshan to Qilu.

But now facing a small town with less than 10,000 households, he is helpless. How could he not be impatient?

What made him even more annoyed was the words of Li Kui and Duan Ganmu before going to war. They believed that the talent of the young master's attack was not enough to shock the Chu State, and it was best to let the young master attack and defend the Qin people of Xihe and let Wu Qi enter the prince's decision as a general.

Now that we are unable to win, it seems that the two of us are just verifying the words.

If he was defeated by the Duke of Luyang, the Prince would have some remarks.

But the opposite side is just a Mo family figure. Except for those who are of noble origin, they are all short brown mud legs. The descendants of his dignified Marquis were defeated by a group of short brown men. If they say it, they will be ridiculed by the world.

However, he started fighting with the army at the age of fifteen and was the commander many times, and he knew that impatience was the enemy at this time.

After calming down, he sighed and said, "If you want to capture Niu Lan, you may have to rely on many people and pile up Yang Ni earth mountain to get closer slowly. Then you will have many people and powerful people, and at the same time, you will dig the crypt and use numbers to work together. I despise the Mo family's technique of defending the city."

After thinking about it, I thought that there must be something wrong with the Zheng people, and they may not be willing to fight, but it is OK to let them dig Yangdi Tushan.

With more than ten days of hard work, he accumulated earth and mountains and monitored the movements of Duke Luyang. If Duke Luyang took the opportunity to go north, he would fight the decisive battle with the plains.

This is also a solution. Once the decisive battle is fought, we have to consider the possibility of Niu Lanyi and others leaving the city to support Duke of Luyang.

At that time, more than 10,000 troops will be assigned to monitor Niu Lan. With the losses these days, there will be only more than 40,000 people left to fight against the Luyang Gong, which will be greatly reduced.

But apart from this method, he couldn't think of how to break the city.

As expected, there is no need for the Duke of Luyang to actually send troops, only the Duke of Luyang may send troops. The prince must divide his troops to prevent the Duke of Luyang to lead troops to fight.

The young master's plan to attack was decided, so he discussed with the other two armies.

The Zheng people dug soil and piled up the soil, and the Koreans went ten miles away to cut down wood, and many scouts sent to check the movements in the direction of Luyang.

First, we will do a siege. If we really can't conquer, there is really no other way. Siege is impossible. If we siege the city, the King of Chu will also get time to integrate the internal structure. Once the integration is completed, we will concentrate our troops to go north. Both sides will increase their troops and can only fight into a war that Wei is unwilling to bear at this time.

Zheng Zima heard this and said, "It will take at least ten days to do so. Besides, there are those annoying iron balls in the city, so the accumulation of soil must be slow. But apart from this method, there is really no way to break the city."

The young master beat him up and said in distress: "That's all."

All three of them agreed and immediately ordered to strengthen the camp and send scouts to the south to choose a place to dig Yangdi Tushan in order to get close.

He sent someone to secretly dig the crypt, preparing to break through the city wall from the cave and open the city gate.

…………

In the city, after a day of hard fighting, many people were injured and were arranged to treat them.

The people of Xuanyi tribe explained the truth at night and made a promise that the food in the city would be enough to last for several months, the wells had not dried up, and the people in the city would be at peace.

The next day, the coalition forces stopped attacking the city, and only watched them dig the earth and build the earth and carry the stones, so they let the gunners bombard the places where the crowds gathered.

After several times, the speed of the accumulated soil mountain gradually slowed down. Many Zheng people threw the soil up and ran away immediately, not willing to stay there.

Seeing this, Meng Sheng was a little worried and said dissatisfied: "If I were Duke of Luyang, I would have to reorganize the army at this time to act as a threatening situation. But he was fine, so he only let the Jin army slowly siege the city here."

"Although the copper cannon can delay the excavation speed, it will always get closer if it continues like this. If there are more cannons, I won't be afraid. There are only ten, and I'm afraid that it will not be easy to defend at that time."

Shiqi said: "In the past, giants defended the city, and they also piled up mountains of earth?"

Meng Sheng nodded and said, "But the giants guard the capital, the big city. There are many armored soldiers in the city, and hundreds of Mo people are there. It is easy to fight back. Niu Lan Xiaoyi, there are not many armored soldiers, and our Mo family disciples are not enough. If you want to defend, you can only defend to the death."

Shi looked at the piled up earthen mountains outside and comforted, "If this continues, it will take at least twenty days to complete. Besides, what can you do after getting close to it? It's just that you are close to the battle. The earthen mountains are small and there will be not many people who can climb the city."

With the help of the cover of digging the earth and mountains, the method of siege near the crypt is not afraid of it.

In addition to gunpowder, there are also sulfur in his hands. There are also many ink people who are good at observing the enemy's digging crypts. They use the same tactics as Shangqiu. At that time, ignite sulfur to kill the enemy that can kill the cave.

The food in hand is enough to support it for several months. As long as the food is still there, the Jin army will return it if it cannot hold on for a few months.

…………

Ten days later, Tushan had approached about seventy steps to the city wall, but the speed began to slow down significantly.

The Zheng people who were carrying the soil cursed and threw the soil up. Occasionally, they heard the whistling sound from above their heads and immediately dispersed, regardless of whether the wood, soil and stone in their hands were piled up at the designated location.

After several days of excavation, more than a hundred people died under the cannon, and there were not many people, but the death was extremely bad and the morale was extremely low.

The digging of this earth mountain is still skillful. You are ready to approach a corner of the starlight of the city wall. As long as you break one corner, you can divide the concave surface into two sides, so you don’t have to be attacked by both sides.

But this also gave the cannons in the city a good enough shooting angle, and constantly attacked the people on the dirt mountain from both sides and the front.

In the direction of the dirt mountain approaching, the city walls are also strengthening, increasing heights, and erecting towers, so that after the dirt mountain approaches, they will still be attacked from three sides.

Several Zheng people were glad that they avoided a shelling attack, and suddenly one of them looked into the distance and made a confusing sound. Zheng people standing on the earthen mountain looked along and were also surprised.

In the distance, several carriages were galloping towards this side.

There was nothing to be surprised about the carriage itself, but the carriage was tied with white linen, the people on the carriage were wearing mourning clothes, and white ribbons were hung on the carriage.

The Zheng people who discovered it first couldn't help but look happy. It seemed that the king of some country was dead.

One man whispered, "Well, you can retreat if you die in this way? You will not be able to mourn, not to conquer, or raise troops! But will our king die?"

The few people said with a little expectation: "It's hard to say. But it's okay if the Marquis of Wei dies. Once the Wei retreats, will we still need to conquer it? Just return to China, and you can also plant Ophiopogonis wheat from the Mo family. This is the time to pass."

While talking, he looked at the city with lingering fear, and said with caressing his heart: "This city cannot be captured. The Mo family said that this is an unjust war and he must be punished by the Emperor of Heaven. Look, is the king dead?"

One person next to him also said, "That's right. You thought that the King of Chu surrounded Shangqiu last time, but what happened? He died shortly after returning to Chu. He asked me to say that this is the warning of the Emperor of Heaven, telling them not to fight unjustly!"

"What are you fighting? The crops are deserted... What does the interests of princes and nobles have to do with us?"

Several people were muttering, and suddenly there was an explosion. Several people subconsciously held their heads and fled backwards. Not far behind them was hitting a pile of wood, making a loud bang. The two were pierced by wood chips and screaming.

The other few were glad that they were not hit, and looked at the carriage galloping from afar with anticipation, shouting at the people next to them: "What else are you piled up? I don't know who has died and this war can't be fought..."

While shouting, more than a hundred Zheng people threw down their shovels and fled down the dirt mountain.

The carriages with the white white quickly triggered movements in the army. After getting closer, it could be seen that they were Korean chariots and horses, and everyone on the carriage was wearing white.

One person cried in the car and said, "Your Majesty is dead! You are dead! The people of Zheng surrounded Yangdi five days ago!"

The carriage galloped into the camp and ran towards the Zhongjun camp tent. The person who reported the funeral rushed into the camp tent and said to the Qiang Qiang: "Five days ago, Zheng surrounded Yangdi, and the emperor was angry and died in a hurry that night!"

Upon hearing the news, Qian Qiang rested on the ground and cried three times. After robbing the ground with his head, he stood up in anger, drew his sword and said to Zheng Zima: "The people of Zheng have no faith and have broken the alliance!"

Zheng Zima was also stupid. After confirming that this was true, he was very panicked and secretly scolded Si Ziyang for cheating him!

Seeing that the Qiang was angry, Zima was wise and said in a hurry: "I don't know. Besides, the Three Kingdoms swear to join the prince, but the personal grudge has never been settled. We attacked Niu Lan for the sake of the alliance. Ziyang attacked Yangdi for the revenge of Duke You being killed back then. How can we say that we have been defeated?"

After saying that, he also drew his sword, and he was very likely to be in harmony with the Qiang Fire.

The generals and warriors of Zheng and Han countries in the tent immediately drew their swords and stood opposite each other, glaring at them, and the movements outside the camp became even more chaotic.
