Qi Zu, who was lying there and watching the failure of Qi army, did not know that he was actually a genius. He could associate the most important truth in the war with killing pigs and dogs, even if he could be considered a genius. If it was a real troubled time, such a person could always stand out.

But now, he is just looking forward to the failure of Qi army and the arrival of night.

When this wave of Qi army's offensive retreated, corpses were piled up everywhere between the fortress and Yingyi City.

Look at the sun, it is already afternoon. Although it is still dark for a while, I think there will be no new offensive today.

Sure enough, from this wave to the evening, the Qi army did not launch a new attack.

The Mohist charity masters in the city and in the fortress sent some people to come down from the city, clear the corpses, piled up the corpses and lifted them outwards, so that they could not block the city walls.

The Qi army did not collect the corpses. Just like when Gongsun Hui rebelled against Qi back then, the Qi army did not take back the corpses, but the Mo family did not cut off the heads of the corpses and built them into Jingguan. Instead, they sent people to carry the corpses a hundred steps away from the fortress.

The broken arms, legs and heads could not be closed, so they were put into sacks and threw them outside the ditch.

The Qi army did not take the opportunity to launch an attack.

But when the bodies were collected, "dead people" stood up from time to time and were expelled back to the Qi army's camp.

Fortunately, some Qi soldiers pretended to be dead in a very good position, and the Mo family did not come here, and the Qi army did not choose to collect the corpses.

The Qi Zun of the Yang Zhu School who was lying there looked at the "dead people" who were driven back to the Qi army camp and couldn't help but sigh.

The military law is strict. After these Qi soldiers who pretended to be dead, the first thing they had to suffer after returning was the punishment of arrows piercing their ears. As for whether they would be killed, it only depends on the words of the commander and general: There is no military law in the Mohist sense, but it is not without military law. With the laws of the times, a noble person's words are military law.

"The Mo family is not really benevolence and righteous. Although we can know that they are afraid of being involved in the fine work, they cannot be put into the city, and they cannot be taken out to take care of them during war... But if they are truly benevolence and righteous, they should be put into them regardless of these. Don't the Mo family know that these people are likely to be killed when they are driven back?"

Fortunately, the Mo family's corpse collection team did not advance here. Fortunately, there were always some sad feelings about the death of the rabbit and the fox.

He did not count the number of corpses piled up under the city today, but he knew that the extent of such corpses piled up was something that had never happened in previous wars.

He had also participated in some siege battles with his army before. Even if he attacked the city, he would attack the same city as before.

The city walls are square, and the city walls are flat. There are as many people as they can stand on the top and the people below. There are no artillery, firearms, gunpowder and other things during the battle. Even if one side of the siege is difficult to break the city, many people will not die and retreat, because the people in the city can only defend it, but they cannot turn the guarding of the city into a massacre of side attacks.

At least, he remembered that so many corpses would not be accumulated in a siege at a time, especially when the Mo family pushed the corpses outside the defense trench in Yingyi City, let the people of Qi collect the corpses, but they did not collect them for the time being. It would seem particularly large if they piled up together.

Seeing the corpses, he became more determined to continue hiding, and knew in his heart that there was no way to hide in this place and he needed to run out quietly while it was dark.

"As long as this battle is over, I will come back and surrender."

I had this idea in my mind and hoped that it would get dark soon.

When the sky finally became darker, he saw the location in the east, which was not the main attack direction of the Qi army, and there was a big gap.

When you run outside, you are all farmland. It is summer, and you can escape this cruel battlefield under the cover of the green gauze.

I waited carefully to the sound of the Qi army's sound of gold and withdrawing troops, and quietly waited for the fire to make fires and make meals on the Qi army. Taking advantage of the time when the sky was not very dark but a little hazy, I quietly crawled towards the open space in the east.

When I climbed about a mile outside the city wall, the sky was completely dark. Fortunately, there was a shallow moon, so I couldn't see anything.

Following the traverses of the farmlands and relying on the moon to distinguish the direction, I walked for about four or five miles, and finally saw a small river.

After walking so far, I was exhausted and panting. I lay by the river and drank some water. After drinking a few sips, I heard another burst of explosions from afar. It must have been that Qi's army launched another night attack at night.

However, the sound ended quickly. It seemed that the attack was defeated faster this time. He just guessed that hundreds of people would die. Then he touched some reeds by the river and stuffed some fresh white and tender reed buds into his mouth to satisfy his hunger.

Not long after, another sound of footsteps came from afar. He thought it was the Qi army's team, so he was so scared that he got into the reed marsh.

After waiting for a while, I heard a sound of water coming from the river not far away, as if drinking animals. I heard a few people with accents near Linzi saying: "Just run here. When the war is over, I will surrender and be a prisoner of war for two months. After eating, I will go home."

When the person hiding in the reed heard that he was a fellow fellow, he finally felt relieved and was about to walk out, but he was caught by those people. After a good explanation, he made the other party believe it.

It can be seen that there should be a complete Sima team on the opposite side. Sima Chang should have come with his fellow townsmen, but the number of people is far greater than that of Sima.

Since the Sima Chang, who led the team, believed his words, he introduced it to him.

"These people are from Anping, these are from Qin and Zhou, these are from Yao, these are from Yu's pottery, and these are from Yuan Lou's fishing..."

After each introduced them, they were all poor people, not noble people, no rank of scholars, and there was no conflict of interest between them. They were all for the same purpose, so they all felt relieved.

That night, the team of more than 30 people increased to more than 50 people. They took turns to go out to watch at night. The next morning, they crossed the river and walked a few more miles eastward to hide.

By the afternoon, more than twenty people ran here, and a few of them carried weapons. When asked, they were deserters.

Those who came first yesterday asked, “How many more people died today?”

They all knew that it was impossible to capture Yingyi, so they didn't ask, let alone, if they captured, why would they escape here?

One of the people later drank a few sips of water and said, "Who knows how many deaths have been? Let's use our lives to fill the city wall. I'm afraid that as long as the nobles die too much, they can be as high as the fortress of the Mo family, but won't they attack it?"

After the man said that, the person who escaped from the side was unable to look back and said, "I'm so afraid of people. I have to use a rushing car to get close today, but where are you getting close? More than a dozen rushing cars were smashed halfway through. Finally, a few of them were coming forward, and the city poured oil down and ignited the fire. Another iron thunder blew beside me, and all my friends were dead."

"The ones who pretended to be dead and were driven back were beheaded last night. We looked like we were dead when we returned. It would be better to run away directly."

Those who had arrived yesterday asked, "Can't the private relatives around those noble people not make a fuss today?"

"Is there any use to rush?"

A deserter cursed disdainfully and said, "Before, some private subordinates and martial artists gave more money, and they rushed forward after we rushed over."

"But what's the use of rushing over? A group of people were blocked in the cracks, and muskets on both sides were shot down together, and half of them died without even climbing up the wall. I died that way yesterday, but I still died like this today. Gongziwu is just a child, so what do you know about war?"

After scolding, the people also said with great determination: "As soon as we see, we will die if we stay, so we will run away. When the war is over, we will go out and surrender, so don't work hard for the nobles."

These words were exactly what most escaped soldiers said, and they thought that even the private relatives around the nobles could not conquer the city, and they were afraid that they could not conquer the city.

It was not dark yet, but the sun was dark, and it seemed that it was going to rain and the air was extremely stuffy.

These escaped soldiers had nothing to eat. They were hungry for a day, but fortunately there were a few mulberry trees nearby, which happened to pick some wild vegetables such as mulberries and reed buds to satisfy their hunger.

This is a backing place, the farmland is far away from here, and I am afraid that I will be caught when I go out. Moreover, the wheat has been harvested at this time, and the millet and beans are not ripe, so there is nothing to eat.

The person who escaped later looked at the way of heaven: "Look at this day, I'm afraid it will rain."

He said this, not to express any opinions on the situation on the battlefield. Everyone present knew that the Mo family had many firearms, but under the thinking of this era, it was impossible to fight on rainy days. This is the rule, or the common truth formed by hundreds of years of war.

It’s not that I don’t know that I can take the opportunity to attack the Mo family, which cannot be used on rainy days, but because it’s difficult for even the team to gather when it rains. Which country’s army can attack or march in the army, it will be enough to dominate the world.

Neither expressing opinions on the situation of the war, or naturally for the situation of everyone, the man said, "If it rains, there must be a place to shelter from the rain."

"Are there anyone with swords? I think they all started to do it. First, a few people set up a thatched house to shelter from the rain. The remaining people will collect mulberry seeds, reed buds, pony roots and so on. I think there are naphthalene fruits on the mountain, which can be eaten."

"It's all a little hard work. If you have to build a house, you can eat the fruit. If you have to pick the fruit, you can get away from the rain. Don't be lazy..."

After he finished speaking, the forty or fifty escaped soldiers present said, "You are right, we didn't expect it. So we pushed you as the leader, but we survived these days together, and I think we'll finish the fight soon..."

This was a very normal thing, but yesterday when he was pretending to be dead in front of the formation, the escaped soldiers of the Yang Zhu School who were tortured by various principles and mentally contrary to each other's mind was shocked.

When he was in Linzi, the Mohist school often gave lectures. His master was from the Yang Zhu School and often argued with the Mohist people. He had heard a lot of remarks from the Mohist school.
