If you talk too much about the country and the country, and if you talk too much about loyalty and courage, you will have little meaning at this time.

Only interests can make these nobles fight to the end.

As for the ending, the strategist in the car had already prepared the sword to commit suicide, and he had expected it.

But his ending and the ending of the Linzi Legion were not the ending of his protagonist, Gong Ziwu. He could only hold on and force the main force of the Mo family to return to the army to rescue the siege after breaking through Pingyang. Only then did Gong Ziwu have the possibility of skipping Yishui and returning to the Linzi coup.

All the generals were speechless for a long time, and finally got the promise and dispersed.

When the generals left, the strategist in the car wiped his sweat and asked the people around him: "Is there no possibility of Yingyi being captured?"

He never watched the battle himself, but heard of the cruelty of siege, but still had a glimmer of hope.

If you can conquer Yingyi, it will not only pave a better way for Gongziwu, but also make Gongziwu's chance of success more likely.

However, the people around him shook their heads silently and said, "There is no possibility of conquering. Such a fortress, coupled with the Mo family's technique of defending the city... besides siege for a year and leaving food out, there is probably no other way to break it."

"Because... we don't know where to attack."

He was so unaware of where to attack, which made the strategist stunned, and said to the man: "It's like sieging a city gate, it's hard to get close to without breaking the fortress."

"Then the first attack on the fortress, the troops of a brigade are at their limit. Tens of thousands of people can only wait in the back and cannot support them. This is like adding oil to the lamp. The Mohist family is like a candle wick. The fire cannot be extinguished, but the oil is gradually consumed."

"If you attack the corner of the city... it is difficult to expand. Moreover, Yingyi's walls are not protruding, and they are indeed concave by the walls on both sides. Once they get close, they will be killed on three sides."

"The ants cannot be attached, and it is useless to rush into the car. If you dig into the crypt, it will not work. The Mohist school is well aware of the method of preparing a cave, and also knows that digging a cave can only be dug at most three hundred steps. If it is farther away, it is difficult to breathe and the ventilation is not smooth, so you will definitely suffocate it to death. Within 300 steps, there will be deep trenches and water, so you cannot dig them."

"Night attack...is even more useless."

"There are so many techniques for siege, how can you attack?"

The strategist thought for a moment and suddenly had a whim: "Our army also has gunpowder. In the past, the lord was suitable for fighting against King Yue on Si, and the method of breaking the city was uploaded to the world. He also said that this was the victory of the will and rationality, and the victory of the geometric arts in the will. Can't we use their methods to capture the cities they defended?"

"The Mo family said that their city defense skills were also in line with the Tianzhi, and that their city attack skills were also in line with the Tianzhi and were incomparable. It was like someone holding a spear and saying that everything was invincible, and then using a shield to say that there was no sharpness to break. The two were contrary to each other, and there was always a false."

"Are there no one in the army who studied the Mohist siege? Is there no one in the camp who uses the Mohist craft instead of the Mohist siege?"

He was worried that he would not make progress in Yingyi. If the main force of the Mo family did not return to support Yingyi after breaking through Pingyang and rushed directly to Dongmu, then the big thing would be over.

After asking, the man thought for a while and said, "There is really a sorcerer in the army. This man has been studying the Mohist school for a long time and now he is in the army with a position of law calculation. Maybe he can ask him?"

Both sorcerers and sorcerers are official positions in the army, but in addition to their official positions, sorcerers also have the meaning of some people who are proficient in sacrificial, mathematics and other knowledge. The sorcerers are probably similar to those of logistics adjutants.

When it comes to military and political affairs, such sorcerers' calculations cannot be discussed indiscriminately, but now they are sick and seek medical treatment. This is the point where the various rules and regulations of the nobles are really difficult to solve, so they have to think of such people giving advice.

Then he asked someone to come and call the Dharmakaya to come and enter the military tent.

"Gongziwu" still had rashes and acne that could not see the wind, so the counselors around him waited for him and asked, "I heard that you have learned more about the Mohist arts in your daily life?"

Na Fasan nodded and said, "That is, regardless of the meaning of the Mohist school, the nine arithmetics are outstanding. I have studied it a lot."

The strategist asked again: "The technique of destroying the city by fighting the Hanshui River many years ago is the victory of rationality and the Tianzhi mentioned in the Mohist newspaper. Have you studied it?"

Fasuan nodded again and said, "I have quite some experience."

The strategist asked, "Can you break through Yingyi City?"

Fa Suan stood up and bowed, and after a long time, he said, "It can be broken, it cannot be broken."

When he heard this, the strategist was not angry but was overjoyed. This was always better than those nonsense, and at least there was a possibility of breaking the city.

The strategist asked, "What is breakable? What is unbreakable?"

Fa Suan said: "I heard that Mo Di stopped Chu from attacking Song and fought against Gongshu Ban's belt as a wall. Today I won the war in the universe. I would like to follow Mo Di's method. You can tell at a glance."

He bowed to the direction where "Gongziwu" was, but there was no excitement that he could make a fortune and be reused in the future, as if he was just performing a procedure.

The strategist was a little surprised and thought that this person must have great talent and a hermit, and he was even more happy. Otherwise, a small military calculator would have to jump up excitedly if he could get into the eyes of Gongziwu.

Soon, the belt is a wall, the earth is a city, and various instruments are placed as military formations.

The Fasuan first set up the Qi army's position about four or five hundred steps outside the city, saying, "Please look at it."

"When Teng fought with Wucheng, he broke the city for a few days and thought it was a miracle. He told the Mo family's secret technique of destroying the city, just to prove the importance of the so-called heavenly ambition and rationality, which I admire."

"I have read that article less than thirty times, and calculated it a hundred times at home, and gained a little. Today I will not talk about that year, but only talk about winning the country. If I come to attack the city, I will still use the methods of the year, and what should I do."

His fingers drew a ditch three hundred steps from Yingyi on the sand table and said, "If you use the appropriate siege technique, you must first dig a trench. Build a soil base near the trench and place artillery to suppress the arrows on the city."

"The artillery in the army may suppress Yingyi's artillery?"

The strategists shook their heads one after another. Where can they use the cannons in the army? On the first day of the fight, they gathered and used them to directly blast the city wall, but they were counterattacked by the artillery soldiers at the Mo family's city. They were in chaos. Now they can still get seven or eight gates, so where can they suppress the artillery of the Mo family's city?

One person said, "Can't you attack the city without cannons? There have been no cannons for hundreds of years, and the city is as stable as Mount Tai and cannot be shaken."

The Fasun sneered and said, "How could the city twenty years ago be compared with Yingyi? If there were no cannons, it would be impossible to conquer. Let's look at the next step."

His fingers were in the middle of the inverted trench and drew a trench in the direction of Yingyi: "I will tell you how many days it will take to complete such a trench close to Yingyi in the middle of the inverted trench. It is two feet wide and four hundred steps long..."

Although the strategist next to him had never learned geometry, he instinctively felt that the straight line between the two points was the shortest. It would take a long time to dig a trench of two feet and four hundred steps long, and it seemed that it would be close to Yingyi's curved characters, at least six or seven paths, so he couldn't help asking, "Then why not dig directly under the city?"

Fasuan sneered and replied like an idiot: "Digging straight, the Mo family's artillery shot straight into the trench, and how many deaths will be killed. I have asked before, and you also know that our army's few cannons can still ask such questions? Only by doing this can we avoid being bombarded on the top of the city."

After his fingers twisted and twisted on the sand table, he finally approached about a hundred steps from the city wall and asked, "How long will it take to excavate so long?"

The strategist calculated about it and said, "Four and five days?"

Fasuan shook his head and said, "The Mo family is best at siegeing and defending the city. How could they not know how to counterattack and landfill at night? When they fight against each other, they are under the Mo family artillery within 200 steps, and they can only fight in the trenches. With the Mo family preparing the short-term skills of the men of the city gate, four or five days? I think it will be good if they can dig it at least ten days. If there are cannons, they will be much faster, but if there are no cannons, they cannot suppress the city, so they will be much slower."

"So I said that it can be broken, nor can it be broken. The Mohist army has approached Pingyang. With the appropriate attack technique and sufficient artillery, Pingyang City will be broken in ten days. In ten days, we are just a hundred steps below the city wall. It is still early to break the city. When the Mohist army returns, our army will be defeated, so we can win the city and cannot be broken."

The strategist was silent for a while and asked, "You continue to say, what if you have dug a hundred steps down the city?"

Fasuan's fingers continued along the twists he drew: "Along such a tortuous trench, our army can advance along the trench without being injured by artillery on the top of the city. However, the excavation of this trench also requires means, the closer it is to the city wall, the deeper it is."

The reason is too lazy to talk about this method, and the strategist has never asked. The method's finger pointed to a trench more than a hundred steps away from the city wall and said: "When you build a soil barrier, if there are copper cannons, you can deploy it here to suppress the city. Once suppressed, the infantry continues to dig open, so that a gap can be dug out to the trench. If it is impacted by a hundred steps, the artillery can suppress it, and then it can be forward with all its might, or it can break the city."

The adviser smiled wryly and said, "You also know that our army has a few artillery."

Fa Jing said: "If you have few cannons, you can't attack. You can only find other methods, and it will take longer."

The strategist was puzzled, and Fasan asked back: "Digging the exit here, our army has no artillery, and the Mo family's artillery blasted the gap. Who can rush out? After rushing out, it will inevitably be scattered and cannot form a formation. What's the use?"

"So, since there are no cannons, we cannot dig the gap like this. Instead, we retreat and continue to dig many trenches that are flush with the first one, transport more soldiers into the trenches to prevent the Mohist family from counterattacking and landfilling."

He drew seven or eight more trenches behind the front, saying, "So many may ensure that the Mohist counterattack will have enough soldiers to resist. This will take at least three days."

The strategists looked and seemed to understand that digging a few more parallel channels could allow soldiers to directly approach the trenches under the city. Otherwise, they would need to support from three hundred steps away, which would definitely not work.

The law did not explain much, and only said: "Including it, half a month has passed. I am afraid that not only Pingyang City has been broken, but the Mo family army may have returned to break through our army's camp, so I said it is useless."

"Even if we can continue for half a month... we have also guarded the trench, so we will continue to dig forward and get closer to a hundred steps. We will select elite archers to shoot and suppress the city head, and the soldiers will climb up as soon as possible. There will be no damage in front of us, only about eighty steps will be damaged, and the casualties will be small, but it will not be able to break through in one or two days."

"Soldiers move forward and then send people to continue digging forward. The soldiers hiding in the trench continue to hit the city wall, regardless of the risk of death and injury, or the city can be broken. But even if the city is broken, it will be at least twenty days later. So I said that the city can be broken, but it cannot be broken."

When the strategist heard this, he couldn't help but say angrily: "With such a good plan, why not say it earlier? Gongziwu's favorite scholar, wouldn't you listen to your words? If you had said it earlier..."

The method of the law was humming, "What's the use of saying it earlier? Yingyi City is ahead, and there is a way to break the city, but the Mohist Yishi army cannot defeat it. Even if Yingyi City has a way to break it, there is no time to break it. The number of winners and losses is not under Yingyi, but at the time of the attack. At that moment of the attack, our army was defeated, so what's the use of what I said? The temple has already lost, so there are strange techniques, so how can it be reversed?"

"I have the art of breaking the city, but I have no power to break the city. The young master forgives my sins."
