At this time, Qi State had copper cannons, with a small number of them, poor quality, and a good level of geometry. However, in order to prevent the copper cannons of Qi State, the garrisons outside the main city could not be configured without considering the other party's artillery as before.

The garrison fort has no masonry structure at all, and its location is very high and will not be flooded. The biggest disadvantage of rammed earth fearing water has also been eliminated.

If the other party has a cannon, whether it is good or bad, considering that the city wall is actually outdated, and the city wall with a brick and stone structure is easily smashed by iron shells to form fragments and damage to the city guard.

A thick slope can absorb enough energy and is not easily collapsed. The disadvantage is that it is easily attacked by ants. However, if the defender has sufficient firepower, this disadvantage is not a disadvantage.

Within the city, several engineers were watching a group of people, using pulleys and other tools to support a huge wooden-painted cloth bag. There was a hanging basket underneath, which was also equipped with a special torch made of tung oil and rosin. This was used to take off with the Qianli Mile Mile to observe the enemy's deployment and command some heavy copper cannons to provide indirect support if possible across the garrison.

Except for part of the artillery concentrated, the rest were deployed on specific turrets according to the engineering plan.

All of this, or from the Mozi era's technique of defending the city 20 years ago, has surpassed the times.

It was nothing more than using gunpowder thunder to replace fire, light copper cannons instead of re-fire machines, heavy bronze cannons instead of vehicular vehicles, hot air balloons instead of Hulou for observation, and simple combroach guns instead of crossbows.

However, the overall defense idea, cross-fire power of the wall, and the Weaver Girl's triangle support each other. The people's food and houses must be written and then repaid. The wild battle should be chosen as much as possible. The concept of defending the city should be deployed in-depth defense in stages, but it has not changed.

The Mohist school's unparalleled city defense skills did not rely on those mechanical skills, but on a defensive system that far surpassed the times.

With just one or two magical machinery, the Mohist family could not have been able to reconcile the wars of Qi, Lu, Chu and Song for a long time before the appearance.

It seems bizarre, but in fact it has not changed in essence and is inherited from the same lineage.

The only difference is that Shi was not prepared to fight the decisive battle under the city, nor did he regard this defense as a defensive defense, but he finally waited for a strategic support point where he could encircle and annihilate the Linzi Legion.

The Second Division was sent to organize Yingyi's defense, and it was believed that the Qi army's current siege could not defeat Yingyi, which has now been armed to the teeth.

Logistics was not considered, because if the city was besieged, the logistics of Qi would collapse first, and the Mo family occupied Liang's father and could always threaten the Qi army's retreat, so Yingyi could not be compromised.

Based on this consideration, Gong Zaoye on the southern line received a letter and discussed the upcoming war, which was quite consistent.

Gong Zaoye was born as a scholar, not a nobleman at the level of a doctor, so he didn't understand what Tian Wu suddenly did.

But no matter what Tian Wu was going to do, the way he and Shi were considering were the same.

Meng Sheng also read Shi's letter on the side, smiled and said, "This coincides with each other. I believe our letter was just right."

"Our ideas are consistent. No matter what Tian Wu does, we must not only attack and cooperate with him in the south, but also keep an eye on the direction of Yishui and Qufu."

Gong Zaoye nodded and said, "We don't need to consider what Tian Wu wants to do, because no matter what he does, the mountains, rivers and rivers will not change. He doesn't have many choices. Look..."

The rough finger pointed to the map on the table and said, "Father Liang is in the hands of our army, which leads to Tian Wu, the direction of Lu, who has no room for movement."

"If he attacked and won the Yi, it would be a false alarm. If he entered Qufu to support the Lu Gongzi's coup in order to seek the Luqi alliance, Liang's father's army could directly intervene in Qufu. As long as we could last until Liang's father's army came, Tian Wu would be defeated."

"If he really attacks Yingyi and makes a desperate bet, then Yingyi is an anvil and Liang's father's direction is an iron hammer, and he will still be defeated."

"After this matter, what we need to consider is to completely wipe out the Linzi Army. The direction we need to pay attention to in this pocket is Yishui."

"You also know why Tian Wutianqing didn't retreat directly towards Yishui before. But at that time, it was confirmed that they would not go there, and it would not be the same as where they fled after they were defeated."

Meng Sheng still understands this truth.

Yingyi was stuck, Wei Han chose to go on a verge of patrol, and Lu's attitude was ambiguous. After these three conditions were met, the direction of Yishui, which seemed to be a little life, was actually a dead end.

Tens of thousands of troops were slow to move.

From the Battle of Hanshui to this Qi-Mo War, the Mo family showed mobility far exceeding that of Qi, especially after seizing Yingyi, after Liangfu, Tian Qing and Tian Wu, even if they were stupid, they knew that they could not compete with mobility.

Retreat is not a defeat. To ensure that tens of thousands of troops withdraw, someone needs to defend several cities and buy time for the army to break through the Mo family defenses in Yishui.

However, under the feudal system, who stayed to defend the enemy? Where could such organizational strength be left to leave an army that would never retreat?

Who can defend the reality of the Battle of Nanji River?

Unable to defend, tens of thousands of troops were chased by the Mo family from behind, blocked by the two places of Yingyi and Feiyi to the east, and intercepted them in the Yimeng Mountains. At that time, they would be afraid of being trapped and starved to death.

Relying on reinforcements from Ju, Ju will not be able to protect itself. Moreover, if reinforcements come, Ju will be captured by the Mo family, what should we do if the logistics? Nearly 100,000 troops are eating grass in Yimeng Mountain? I am afraid that there will be no need to fight at that time, but the current organizational strength of the Qi army will definitely be scattered and difficult to control.

The battlefield situation is constantly changing, and the current situation is because Tian Qing chose the most suitable means before.

If Tian Qing had any attitude of retreating along the Yishui River before, the Mohist family would also take offensive measures to wipe out the Linzi Army in the Yimeng Mountains in western Ju.

On the contrary, because Tian Qing chose to retreat, the Mo family was unwilling to take the initiative to attack, but instead forced Tian Qing to take the initiative to attack. Relying on diplomatic pressure to cut off the relationship between Qi and Lu, those who trapped Tian Qing would have to attack one day.

Because of this, the Ministry of Public Metallurgical Engineering only has one brigade of troops stationed in the mountainous areas near Yishui, and did not place all the troops there, and there was no need.

It is not easy to replenish supplies there. And it is enough to have only one brigade there. If the number of people is small, the Qi army cannot break through. If the number of people is large, the two Yishi army troops on Liangfu and Feiyi can also use their mobility to surround the Qi army in the marching.

The situation is changing now, and the public economy must also consider two possibilities.

First, the Qi army really fought to the death, captured Yingyi and returned to Linzi, and reduced its troops to fight the battle of defense of Linzi.

Then Gong Zaoye must attack north when the Qi army attacked Yingyi, seize the few cities under the Qi army, and cooperate with the appropriate side to form an encirclement.

The lack of troops there is not enough to defeat the Qi army, but not enough to fight an annihilation battle. Now the initiative of the Qi-Mo war is in the hands of the Mo family, but the Mo family still needs a greater victory to obtain enough subsequent benefits.

The second is that the Qi army fought to the death to win the country, but in fact, they threw a single bet with the elite light troops to attack Qufu, and launched a coup with the princes and nobles of Lu State, dragging Lu into the war, and relying on Lu State to continue to persist in the rear, so as to seek changes in the world.

This requires publicly splitting some troops and keeping a close eye on Qufu. Once there is a possibility of a coup or the intelligence of the elite Qi army's actions, go to Qufu immediately. As long as it can withstand a few days, the army from Liang's father's direction will be enough to annihilate the Qi army from Yingyi direction, and at the same time go south to solve the Qufu problem.

These two considerations are not contradictory, but in addition to these two considerations, there is another thing that Gong Zaoye knows very well.

That is the direction of Yishui.

In any case, the Qi army was demented in this battle and was bound to be defeated. The only direction to escape was Yishui. If there was no tight end, the end of the Qi Mo war would not be a complete victory.

No matter which possibility, there is only one direction to escape after failure.

There is now a main division in Gong Zaoye’s hands, and some mixed troops. In terms of the elite, there are nearly 12,000 people.

The remaining are the people's righteous teachers from Fei State, and the Mohist charity teachers totaled about 23,000.

There is more defense and insufficient attack. Some of the troops on the eastern front are staring at Juyi north of Langya, in order to cooperate with Xi Liu's envoy, the Qi army in Juyi was only on paper and cannot move around.

The brigade of Yu Tu of the 7th Division is now in the Yimeng Mountains. If the Qi army fled on a large scale, it might not be blocked. If one person escapes back at that time, it will be more disadvantageous for future affairs. However, before, considering that the logistics could not be stationed there too much.

The idea that both sides coincided is considered based on this realistic reality.

In the letter, Shi means to let the public divide the troops into two parts. One part concentrates the martial knights and infantry knights and moves westward. Once Qufu changes, you can support it immediately and you can arrive at night.

The remaining heavy troops began to move towards Dongmuyi.

In the military tent, Meng Sheng also pointed to Dongmuyi with his finger. At this time, Dongmuyi was still occupied by the Qi army and an important city that the trapped Linzi Army could control.

Towards east of Dongmu, it is Yishui, towards west of Liangfu, and towards northwest of Qi army, it is Pingyang, the Chongwei of Qi army.

Gong Zaoye said: "As long as we fight in Yingyi, we can take advantage of the Qi army to capture Dongmuyi, so we will be free of worries. At that time, even if the Qi army is defeated and wants to escape, it will be locked within a radius of fifty miles."

"The north is Yingyi, the southeast is Mou, and the west is Liangfu. It can not only prevent the Qi army from escaping, but also support the battles there, forming a complete encirclement of the Qi army."

"Yu Tu's brigade is near Yishui. If the Qi army retreats and flees, his brigade can eventually be tightened, enough that none of the Qi people can escape."

At this time, the cities played more roles as supply stations and heavy troops assembled. There was no need to know Tian Wu’s plan, but if he wanted to wipe out the Qi army, he naturally had to pay attention to Mouyi.

Meng Shengdao: "If the Qi army is dispatched and staying in Mouyi will only have thousands of people. But we cannot be impatient. We must climb Shi and tie our pockets tightly. We must wait until the battle on Yingyi is fierce before we can capture it in one fell swoop. Yingyi needs to give us enough preparation time. Five days, as long as Yingyi is not broken within five days, we can reach Mouyi, and Shi and we can completely tie our pockets and encircle and annihilate the Linzi Army."

These five days are naturally not counted from today, but from the day when the offensive and defensive battle broke out, or five days after the day when the Qi army arrived in Yingyi, set up camps and set up formations.

Gong Zaoye smiled and said, "We can defend it in five days. We also need to capture Muyi in five days, so there should be no problem. If you seize Muyi, the Qi army will be a turtle in the jar and a fish in the jar, and there is no way to escape."

After laughing, he placed Shi's letter on the map, and several staff officers drew the contents of the letter on the map.

In the picture, Yingyi is the anvil, and Qi Great Wall is the ground under the anvil, and further north is Linzi.

The army in the direction of Liang's father was gathering, waiting for the opportunity.

Once the Yingyi siege began, Liang's father's main force moved towards Pingyang, captured Pingyang when Yingyi was captured, completely cutting off the Qi army's retreat.

The cavalry of the Public Martial Arts Department will be stationed in Qiuyu. If there is any change in Qufu, you can attack Qufu directly.

Yu Tu's brigade remained in the Yishui area, and served as the last bag to encircle the Qi army.

The remaining main force of the Public School Metallurgical Ministry will attack Dongmu after the Yingyi siege battle begins, cut off the Qi army's way to escape from the east, and completely block the Qi army within a narrow range south of Yingyi.

This is Qi Mo's possible situation before the last battle and the plans of both sides. Tian Wu was not led by Shi, and Shi was not led by Tian Wu, because the strategic goals between the two sides were completely different.

What is needed is an annihilation war that completely ruins Qi's internal chaos, completely weakens Qi, intimidates the princes of the Central Plains, and lets go of their hands and feet to lay the foundation for the expansion of the Mohist family to the southeast under the situation of the retreat of the Vietnamese country.
