As soon as the army moved, Shi also came from Boyi to Liangfu, and the scattered charity troops began to gather. Some cities only had one company of charity troops, and some Qi people who had no family or slaves who joined the charity troops were temporarily stationed.

Before the final battle, we are confirming the final information.

When the staff officer in charge of intelligence came to the direction of Chengyang and Linzi, it seemed calm, but in fact it was a little nervous.

This decisive battle is different from previous battles. It is not that the two armies decide the victory or defeat in a few days, but that they fight everywhere within a wide range of about a hundred miles. This is a large army battle that will appear in the Warring States Period, but there are no precedents now.

The staff officers sent it back according to the scouts. The intelligence that the staff members analyzed after analysis said: "The Wei and Han Allied Forces in Chengyang are not prepared to attack. The Wei people have already contacted me, and the envoys of the Wei Marquis have entered Pengcheng. Even if they are cheating, it will take at least half a month to collect the army in Chengyang and prepare food and grass."

"There is no movement in Linzi. The remaining troops in Linzi have been in the city. There are rumors that Tian He is seriously ill and heartbroken. It is probably because he wants to be on guard against the disaster of Xiao Wall, so the remaining troops in Linzi have been in the city."

"There is no movement in the direction of Jucheng, but it is just constantly strengthening the city defense and not gathering troops."

After the three news was finished, Shi and the officers present all breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, fighting requires gathering troops in advance. The army cannot be immediately transferred to an offensive state, and it is impossible to prepare for half a month.

There was no problem with all three directions, Shi smiled relaxedly: "It seems that this time was Tian Wu's temporary intention, and there was no cooperation between all parties. In the end, it was a war between us and Tian Wu, so we can rest assured."

The others also nodded and smiled. As long as there is no problem with these three directions, the battle will be over in half a month, and it will be too late for all parties to make a statement.

Yesterday, the army of Qi had arrived within 30 miles of Yingyi, with a population of about 60,000, which was the main force of the Linzi Army. This is definitely not wrong.

Everyone was very relieved about Yingyi's defense. The army was concentrated on Liang's father, considering the strategy of being difficult to break Yingyi.

Shi clasped his hands together, stretched out his fingers outward, clanging each other, clattering, and shook his shoulders and smiled: "We have been dormant on Si for too long, and in the battle of aid, Wei Han and us joined forces to defeat Qi together. I endured it for too long before, and the princes of the world have forgotten the battle of Hanshui that year."

"In today's battle, there is no need to mention the shock of the world, but how much does it have to be?"

Shi stretched out two fingers and bent one and said, "In the battle between Nanji River, the princes may think that it is not the elite of Qi, but the Mo family is strong, but it cannot be terrifying."

"In today's battle, we must let the princes understand the terror, and then we can maintain a longer-term stop. Look, in Shangqiu, Chu State was honest for a long time; in the battle of Hanshui, Yue State no longer had the will to dominate the Si Shang. In today's battle, it is said that killing the chicken to warn the monkey. In Qi State's sunrise, the rooster sang first, and then the red ones, so we wanted to borrow the chicken of Qi State to scare the monkeys in the Central Plains."

He rarely talks about such mysterious superstitious things on weekdays, and even jokes. He said so today, obviously he is in a good mood.

"Send the order and prepare for each person. In two days, the troops will be out of Pingyang."

After receiving the order, the generals also realized that at this point, the Mohist school had no room for improvement.

Once the troops are launched, they cannot change their orders every day. Sending troops to Pingyang means that Yingyi's defense must rely entirely on the Second Division and be full of confidence in the Second Division.

It is the key point that affects the whole body. If Liang's father is in danger and still has support, if he sends troops, he will shoot the bow and no turning back.

…………

Yingyi.

The smoke of gunpowder has risen.

The 60,000 Qi army concentrated all the bronze cannons in the army and wanted to concentrate on approaching the city wall and blast the city wall. However, the hot air balloons hanging high in the air discovered the intention of the Qi army at the beginning of preparation. The artillery on the city immediately launched a counterattack. The Yi army artillery, which had both quantity and quality, completely suppressed the bronze cannons of Qi.

In a garrison fort in front of the main gate, five companies of the charity division soldiers were stationed among them. Two garrison forts were stationed in total, with six small cannons and some iron cannons that fired stones and sand at close range.

Even if the garrison castle is a concave polygon as a whole, because of the triangular arrangement of Vega, Qi's attack can only hit the front and cannot be besieged from all sides, because there are cross covers on the sides and back, which is equivalent to death.

The front is not wide, and there are not many attacking troops deployed at one time.

The brigade commander and brigade representatives of the brigade guarding the fort were on the side. The brigade commander looked at the Qi army who were marching in the distance to prepare for the attack, and estimated that this time the Qi army had only more than 600 soldiers who were the first to attack the fortress he guarded.

No matter how many times the number is, it cannot be expanded. As for the subsequent waves, it is equivalent to not. If Qi State really doesn't rush around in a swarm of formations, it will look like a mountain and a field, but if it really does, it will be happy and relaxed.

The bitter taste of the fire of the fuse made the coach's eyes cry, and the musketeers lined up on the fortress were quietly waiting for the order.

The gunners are also very relaxed now. The distance is too far at this time. These small cannons are not the heavy bronze cannons in the city. It is difficult to cause damage to the Qi army before the Qi army approaches.

The soldiers were not panicked. It seemed that the Qi army's camp was spreading widely and had a large number of people, but they knew that these people needed to attack in waves, and the number of people they faced was far less than that of their partners.

The side length of the concave city wall is much larger than the straight line on the front.

The sound of the trumpet of the Qi army kept ringing in the distance, and the Qi army's crossbowmen and musketeers began to move forward, trying to cover the first wave of Qi army rushing forward.

Several cannons were deployed sparsely in front of the formation. After the Qi army artillery, which was originally planning to use the centralized use of the city wall, was counterattacked and no longer dared to assemble and could only be used in dispersed ways.

The soldiers in the front row were holding shields, while the soldiers behind were carrying wooden ladders, and several simple wooden ladders were also slowly moving forward.

A stream of white smoke emerged in front of a Qi army's cannon, and the iron balls hit the thick soil in front of the garrison rammed with earth. They did not bounce up and did not cause any damage.

The brigade coach shook his head and mocked at the people around him: "The way Qi people attacked the city is no different from that twenty years ago. Twenty years ago, they could be defended by a transshipment aircraft, not to mention today."

"Just one of the people has a few cannons. If there are no cannons, I will be able to defend such a fortress with a brigade. As long as I have enough food, I am afraid I will not be able to capture it for a year."

The people next to him were about to reply, when the sound of horns and drums in the distance started to rise again. The entire team of Qi troops began to advance slowly, and the archers and musketeers were also moving forward after they were arranged.

More than 600 Qi troops lined up into a front about a hundred steps wide, crossing the trench puddle in front. There were several teams of Qi troops behind, which seemed to be in full swing of uninterrupted attacks.

Before the trench, a Qi soldier with a shield cursed in Linzi dialect: "This is asking us to die. The Mo family has cannons and we have a body of flesh. When will the iron bullets be used up? But the people behind can attack it?"

As he spoke, the drums sounded again. He held the shield in front of him and began to obey orders and lined up in front of the trench.

The water in this trench is not deep, but after crossing the trench, the formation is already messy, and it is difficult to attack again without reorganizing the team.

His two partners were howling in the trench behind him. Bamboo sticks densely spread in the trench pierced into his partner's feet. It was difficult to fight under the severe pain, and no one helped him, so he could only climb backwards in the mud pit.

The soldier spitted and muttered to the person next to him: "Look, I might as well have stabbed my feet just now. If my feet are stabbed, they will be disabled at most. But if this iron bullet hits me, I will still be immortal?"

The partner next to him also said, "Why are we asking us to come first? Those noble deceased soldiers were waiting for our bodies to cover the trenches. They could get into the city, but their merits were theirs."

"Okay, what does Fei Guo’s own business have to do with us? My family has planted a lot of corn this year, and it is about to be harvested. Where can I do it at home?"

"Let us go to die, but the fief belongs to them? The Mo family does not kill or rob, so what should they fight?"

He muttered reluctantly, and just as he had lined up, he heard a strange whistle coming from the air. Several old soldiers who had participated in the battle of the dynasty threw away the shield in their hands and slapped on the ground without saying a word, but the new soldiers behind him didn't know.

With a few dong dong sounds, the hot iron balls smashed a few blood marks in the team that had just been arranged, and the team just now became messy.

The drum sounded again, and someone shouted behind him: "Military orders are like a mountain, those who retreated will die! Those who climbed the city first will be granted a soldier!"

A few new soldiers had never seen the scene where their heads were smashed directly by iron balls. They screamed and threw down their weapons and retreated. Several people were stabbed in the trenches by bamboo sticks and were in pain again.

After finally climbing to the back, several scholars held swords and killed the retreating people in public.

But the old soldiers knew that they could not retreat at this time, and the drums were heard again, and the iron bullets fell down again.

A soldier couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "It's better to die in front of you than to be killed by iron balls here."

He shouted, then rushed out with his shield, and the people behind him rushed forward in a mess.

Charging requires courage, but maintaining the formation unchanged under artillery requires greater courage and discipline. At least this first wave of Qi army has not yet possessed such qualities.

Charge without formation is to die, but there are military laws behind it and there are shellings here. This kind of fear that people know when it will hit their heads is far greater than the courage required for charging.

The previous muttering soldier thought to himself: "This is also a death rushing over."

But the formation around him was messy and sparse. Some people were hesitating and some had already rushed out. He also made up his mind and rushed forward.

But he didn't rush forward, holding a bone-made talisman in his hand and followed a few people.

After finally rushing to the city wall within a hundred steps, there was another gunshot from the fortress. All the people in front of him were killed, and one of them was shocked to throw his weapon and ran back.

"Fool."
