Chapter 215: Nothing to Do (Part 1)

The escaped soldiers escaped death, and those soldiers who had never escaped the fate of death became an indelible fear in the hearts of the nobles of the Qi people.

After three days of siege, the dead and fleeing soldiers had reached nearly 7,000, and the wounded were difficult to treat, especially the wounded who were temporarily undead by lead bullets. Their wails echoed in the military camp, causing the morale of the army to plummet, but there was no way.

It is hard to execute them in order to prevent these wailings from affecting others. If they really do this, they are probably not far from mutiny.

A large number of corpses were piled up in front of the formation, and many people cried in the camp to their partners.

These people have fought a war and are not the first time they have been on the battlefield, but they have never seen such a cruel siege, and they have never seen soldiers collectively disobey during the siege.

After three days of siege, let alone Yingyi's city wall, even the two fortresses at the main road before the main gate were not captured. This strange city defense method, combined with the rumors that Mohist family adhered to the rules, made the Qi army lose the courage to continue to fight.

The momentum of one drum was like a tiger, but this drum was not successful. Instead, it turned every attack into a massacre that drove away his soldiers. The layers of corpses not only caused a huge blow to morale, but also the reason why the nobles of the generals and school of Qi army doubted Gongziwu's decision.

Gongziwu has never shown up, and most of the people who stay here are not Gongziwu's confidants.

Although Gongziwu did not show up, few people suspected that Gongziwu had arrived in Dongmu because the dead soldiers and counselors around Gongziwu were all in the camp. This is a very basic judgment. The nobles may not carry their wives and children when they fled, but the taxi around them will definitely carry them to follow them, which is the foundation for the future resurgence.

The strategist who disguised Gongziwu in the car was also under tremendous pressure. He was good at conspiracy and planning strategies, but he was not very good at how to fight in detail.

Not that I can’t do it, I just follow the steps and fight according to the previous military calligraphy and military techniques.

Faced with the Mo family's urban defense fortifications, these experiences that could be considered a battle twenty years ago have become meaningless.

How to break through the fortress that builds a concave wall?

How to break through a city wall with enough copper cannon defense?

Know nothing.

Not only did he not know, but in fact, there were not many people in the world who knew it, because tactics itself was also an experience accumulated by countless lives.

In the car, the adviser looked ashamed and said worriedly: "I am ashamed of my affection for the young master. I originally wanted to attack Yingyi, which forced the Mo family to save him. The two armies faced against Wenshui, and I could last for seven or eight days."

"But now it seems that Da Zhishi had no intention of supporting Yingyi at all. He led a large army to Pingyang?"

The scholar beside him said, "If you go to Pingyang, the young master will have no worries. If you win Pingyang, you must return to the army to win the country. If you turn back like this, at least seven or eight days will be gone. The young master will be able to cross Yishui."

While he was talking, he heard a noise outside. The strategist was about to ask, and someone came to say, "All the generals beg the young master to come forward and don't want to fight any more."

The strategist sighed and thought to himself that it was understandable that the generals thought this way. If they attacked the city normally, they would lose at most a few hundred people within three days. Even if they could not conquer, they would not fall into despair.

But in just three days, six or seven thousand people were killed or injured, and even mutiny and disobedience occurred in front of the formation. If you continue to fight, it will seem meaningless and will be crushed in front of the mountains like the waves in the river.

It’s just a city, it’s changed. Why is it so difficult to attack?

Is there really a heavenly ambition in it? Is there a so-called heavenly ambition in this case in war?

At this time, the generals had already arrived outside and dared not move forward. You could hear the sound of the generals kneeling through the curtains and said in unison: "Young Master, you can't continue to fight like this. If you continue to fight, I'm afraid that our army will be defeated before the Mo family's army is dispatched."

"The young master wanted to fight against Dazhishi in Wenshui, but Dazhishi did not save Yingyi and went straight to Pingyang. If Pingyang is broken, the morale of the army will be in chaos and our army will be defeated!"

The leading veterans spoke anxiously and waited for a long time. A slightly hoarse voice came from the tent, as if he was cold and said, "Isn't it just right if I don't save Yingyi?"

"There are only one division soldiers in Yingyi. Pingyang still has common people, Liangfu Dafu, a total of 20,000 soldiers. The city cannot be broken in a few days. As long as we can capture Yingyi before the battle is broken, the winner can be changed."

"When Yingyi is broken, our army can return to Linzi, build Yingyi, and gather the troops from Jiaodong to guard Linzi. In every battle, there will be gains and losses."

"In the battle of Wu and Yue, thousands of soldiers who died died committed suicide in front of the formation were shocked, and the enemy army was finally defeated. Now we abandon the troops of Pingyang and seek the country of Qi, which is a last resort."

"Besides, if Yingxian is broken, Pingyang's siege can be resolved. If the troops moved to Pingyang at this time, and the ambushed halfway and our army is defeated, then Pingyang will be defeated. The country of Qi is in danger, and the etiquette and laws of the world will be abolished!"

This is not unreasonable, not only makes sense but also makes sense, but these truths are all about talking about the truth on paper.

Although Yingyi was captured before the breaking of Pingyang City, the siege of Pingyang would naturally be lifted, and the situation would have changed greatly, and Qi would seize the balanced power again.

However, any strategy is based on tactics, otherwise it will be meaningless.

The old general in charge advised him: "The young master's words are extraordinary. But... but how can we attack Yingyi? How can Pingyang defend for a long time? The lord is suitable for troops and is best at attacking and defending, followed by field battles. Pingyin City is majestic and far better than Pingyang, and it will be defeated in a few days, let alone Pingyang? Can you not consider this?"

"The young master's words are tantamount to saying: If I can move Mount Tai, then I can move the Nanshan Mountain in Linzi."

"Young Master's words make sense, but...but it can't be done!"

This veteran has been fighting for a long time. Although it is difficult to understand the changing war pattern now, his eyes are not blind.

He has seen countless sieges and sieges in the city for decades, but he has never seen them in the siege that they can be like this.

The troops of a brigade were already in chaos before they could rush under the city wall.

It was finally easy for the craftsmen who followed the army to make a rush, but they were blown up and smashed as soon as they crossed the trench. Dozens of craftsmen were busy all day, and they were just an iron ball in the Mo family.

The soldiers who attacked the city did not know how to attack the city and were in a hurry.

Following the escort and the village chief in front of him, he had no idea where to attack and where not to attack. He led his men to the two corners. After a moment, the soldiers of the company retreated and fled.

There is no hope, no point, no possibility of breaking the city.

Now there is another news that Liang's father's righteous army is dispatched to march towards Pingyang.

If Pingyang loses, Yingyi cannot capture it. The tens of thousands of troops will be completely trapped and died here. Before the Mo family can attack, they are afraid that the morale of the army will be defeated.

Now the morale of the army is unstable, and the soldiers are willing to escape. Those who escape at the battle pretend to be dead can't be scared even if they kill chickens to warn the monkey.

This veteran was honest, but was scolded by "Gongziwu" in the tent.

"You said the truth I said is meaningless, why not tell me, how should I fight this battle?"

"How come I don't know that Dazhishi has sent troops to Pingyang, so what can we do?"

"If you withdraw your troops and win if you don't win, go back to Pingyang?"

After a question, the veteran general said: "I'm afraid it won't work. When he returns to Pingyang, he will be ambushed and fought. If our army is not strong, he will be defeated."

The young master in the car snorted coldly: "When you turn to Liang's father? If you get Liang's father, you will break the Wenshui River?"

The veteran general thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's not possible. The soldiers of the Mo family are good at marching. In the past, they seized Liang's father and won the city. They traveled a hundred miles in two days. Now the Mo family's cavalry and soldiers are all over the place. If our army moves, they will be known. If they approach Liang's father, the army will return..."

Gongziwu in the car said again: "Why don't you win against the country? The whole army goes east and passes the Yishui River?"

The veteran said this and said in silence for a long time: "It's not possible. When you go east to Yishui, your army will disperse and retreat if you fail, and you may be defeated. If you are the two men in Yishui, you will be defeated."

The young master in the car laughed and said, "This is not possible, and that is not possible. Since you said it is not possible, there must be a solution?"

"Can you think my method is not good, but you don't know how to do it. What do you mean? Do you let the army not attack and not go to Pingyang, Liangfu, and Yishui, just stationed here, waiting for the army of Dazhishi to capture Pingyang?"

"Since you object, you always have a way. There is no way. You can't continue to attack Yingyi. You need to tell me what to do!"

Everyone was silent.

After the Battle of Nanjishui, the Mohist family seized Yingyi and Liang's father and publicly intimidated the Lu Kingdom. In fact, the Linzi Legion had already fallen to death.

Tian Qing's strategy was to drag it down, and he also saw that the Qi army was already in a deep state of death, and could only wait for the situation in the world to change, and pin all hopes on the civil strife of the Mo family or the sending of troops from Wei and Han.

But Tian Qing can drag it down, but Tian Wu can't drag it down. He has a cousin who is the prince in Linzi. His father has had no time to suffer from heartache.

However, when Tian Qing was there, at least the Mo family did not attack, and they were dragging it down, at least they did not seem to be trapped in a situation of death like this now.

The strategists in the car knew that these people had no solution or strategy to win, but were just missing the situation where Tian Qing could still hold on when he was still alive.

But what can be done even if Tian Qing is there?

Thinking of this, the "Gongziwu" in the car said, "Ship Qing is good at using troops, so I am not as good as him. But even if Ship Qing does not die at the hands of the Mo family assassin, he will not win."

"The Mo family has already occupied the Wenshui River. The Jishui River occupies the cities and the land is transformed into the fields. You don't know how the Mo family incites. Wait here. After a year, all thirty cities and towns will be transformed into Mo. At that time, the flags of 100,000 will arrive directly at Linzi, and your fiefs will be transformed into land. Will it be worse than those who die now?"

"For the sake of the current plan, only by attacking Yingyi with great difficulty and suffering death or injury, can we have a way out and live a life of death."
