Four days later, the engineers had already dug the second parallel trench 250 steps near the city wall. This parallel trench finally reached the attack range of the artillery guarding the city, but due to the angle and relationship, it could not cause any damage to the soldiers inside.

From the time of excavation to this point, only six people were lost on Si Shang, three of which were caused by landslide accidents, and the other three were iron bombs guarding the city and unreasonably bounced into the trench.

The soldiers in front were working hard to broaden the width of the parallel moat and digging according to the four steps, that is, six meters. It seems that if the people in the city do not move to fight back, the construction will be completed tomorrow morning at the latest.

Six fingers observed the trench in the distance, turned around and said to the artillery commander beside him, "I will depend on you tomorrow."

"Once the trench is widened and the engineers have completed the deployment of the artillery positions, you must transport the artillery from the trench."

"These dozen large crank-fire stone cannons will cover you. Then you will lower the angle and smash the iron bullets on the brick and stone slopes as much as possible, and jump around to completely destroy the defenders in the front."

"As long as you do well and suppress the city, whether to bombard the cannon, climb the city, or dig the holes and explode, that's all a story."

Taking advantage of the weaknesses of the masonry structure and the shortcomings of unreasonable slope angles, using iron bombs to bounce and bombard the artillery commander was the opinion of the artillery commander. He knew very well what he should do.

Yesterday, when I took off the hot air balloon, I found that the main forces in the city had gathered on this side, and the front of the city wall was densely filled with people. This was a slaughter for the leaping iron bullets.

Dangshan is too close to Pengcheng, so many heavy copper cannons used to defend the city can be transported here.

There are fourteen heavy-duty guns that fire dozens of kilograms of iron bullets, but have a very close range and a very high curve.

The reason why it is called a mortar is that it looks the same as a mortar with pounding rice and pounding garlic, with a thick diameter, a thick outer wall, and a short cannon chamber.

Originally, this was used to defend the city by Pengcheng, which was used to cross the city wall to destroy the siege chariots, and instead of the Mo family's city guarding technique before the Gunpowder Age.

Some flat-fired cannons replaced the status of transshipment and crossbows in the original system.

Under the original Mohist system of defending the city, there was no sluggishness in the replacement of the gunpowder era.

If you can defend a city, you can use it to attack the city, and this has never changed.

The artillery commander is Shi's direct line, and is also one of Shi's personal disciples. He is also considered to be from the same school as Liuzhi. The two have a tacit understanding of the idea of ​​attacking and defending cities.

As it seems now, the artillery commander felt that the person who played the lead this time must be himself, and he was also sure that his original suggestions were enough to disrupt the city defense in Dangshan.

When the two were about to continue discussing some details, a messenger came to report that it was because of the hot air balloon that some people gathered in the city, and it seemed that they were going to go out of the city to harass them.

Liuzhi smiled and said to the artillery commander: "This is fine. Before you attack the city, you will have to perform first."

Without waiting for the artillery commander to answer, Liu Jie said to the messenger: "Rise the flag, beat the drums, and let the departments prepare to fight back according to the planned plans of the staff."

"Seal the engineers and let them continue digging without panic."

It is said that war is a devil, and that is a strategy.

Now the Mohist family puts tactics in front of everyone. Including those who guard the city, they can see the Mohist family's tactics, infer the time when the parallel trenches outside the city are completed, and determine the location of the artillery deployment...

The question is, what should I do?

The Mohist family showed everything to the guardian of the city, what's the use of seeing?

Just when the emperor's father Yue Ling was about to be anxious, a close friend gently pulled the corner of his father Yue Ling's clothes. The emperor's father Yue Ling understood that this close friend had made him suppress the irritability in his heart so as not to completely distract him.

So he urgently changed into a humble manner as a truly good at raising scholars, and expressed his apology for what he had just been upset with an elegant aristocratic attitude.

When the emperor's father Yue Ling asked the scholar who had just pulled the corner of his clothes, "What kind of good plan do you have?"

The strategist asked back: "The public thought that according to the current excavation speed and siege methods of the Mohist family, how many days can the city last?"

The emperor's father Yue Ling looked at the sky. Since this man was a confidant and had always been against Mo, he didn't have to cover up. He just said, "If there is no rain, it will last for ten days."

The strategist asked again: "If the city is broken, judging by what the public does and the Mohist Heze judged Tian Wu, do you think you can survive?"

How could the emperor’s father Yue Ling not know his situation?

At that time, even if the Mo family doesn't want to get blood, they will throw him to the Dai family, and the Dai family will choose to let him go into exile? I am afraid that they will blame him for all the conflicts in the Song State and then execute him as the will of the people.

The conflict in Song State was not accumulated by him, but was difficult to recover. If he was a mediocre person, he might not have been able to break out so quickly.

It is precisely because of his ambition and ambition that the contradictions are insurmountable.

Now it seems that death is an inevitable road, and the Mo family will not spare him. At least they must use his blood as a warning: whoever dares to learn from him is a dead end.

Faced with such a problem, the emperor's father Yue Ling sighed with the words of the son-born reform that year: "If you benefit the country, you will be able to live and die."

If you say this, it is equivalent to acquiescing the ending of one's own destiny.

He didn't expect the princes to be so short-sighted, and he didn't expect that he might not have been able to hold on for a month in the face of Si Shang's offensive. The Dangshan Fortress he spent a lot of money to build seemed like a joke in Si Shang.

Seeing that the emperor's father Yue Ling answered so calmly, the trusted adviser asked again: "The first priority for the deceased is to think about how to take revenge."

"The solutions that those people think now are meaningless. Even if more than a hundred people are abandoned today and two or three trenches outside the city are only one day delaying the day of the city."

The emperor's father Yue Ling frowned, looked at the adviser, and asked coldly: "What do you mean? As you said, should I surrender to Si Shang? Are you a lobbyist at Si Shang?"

This sounds like saying that you should not consider whether you can hold on. It is better to consider something else.

What is something else?

The implicit meaning of the emperor's father Yue Ling felt that it was nothing more than surrender.

The adviser shook his head and said, "I am not a lobbyist. I have an irreconcilable hatred with Si Shang. My father died in the Shangqiu Incident that year."

"I just want to tell you that since you are already in a state of mortality, rather than considering how to die a few days later, it is better to consider revenge after death."
