Even if the disciples of the Gongshu clan knew the way Mozhe defended the city, they could not solve it, and could only watch the Chu people fill in their lives.

The disciples of Gongshuo team know about the things of the chariot. The disciples of the Huo Ningbo also know about the equipment of the chariot.

But knowing is impossible, and there is no difference between being in a way and not knowing the result.

The wooden barrels thrown from the city walls kept hitting near the moat, and a lot of liquid and grease flowed out, moistening the firewood accumulated by the Chu people on the moat for infantry to cross the river.

The chariots in the city were still throwing, and later they could hear crackling sounds.

For fire, the wood is surrounded by two feet and four parts long and chisels early, and put charcoal and fire together to admire it, and borrow a cart to throw it into it.

The inside is hollowed out with large wood, stuffed with some flammable materials and charcoal fire, and combined the cut wood with a saw, and then threw it out with a cart to ignite the fire.

It is not impossible to use soil to fill the moat, but it is absolutely not efficient to use firewood, so most of the siege will choose firewood to block the moat.

If the Chu people were willing to spend a few days and slowly fill the moat with the losses of shooting arrows on the city, the consequences may be that the soldiers dare not move forward.

After the thrown fires landed on the ground, the stuffy charcoal inside quickly ignited the nearby firewood, ignited thick smoke fires, and the firewood accumulated in front of the moat burned one after another.

Under the thick smoke, the Chu people who were carrying firewood forward fell into chaos. Originally, there was no grease in the fire, but after the method of pressing grease was appropriate, Mozi used these methods.

These thick smoke and fire could not kill several people, but it would greatly slow down the speed of the Chu people's advancement. It was already afternoon and the moat had not yet been filled, and the elite soldiers who were ready to go had no chance to get close to the city wall.

It seems that I have been busy all day, but in fact it has basically no effect and is restrained by the city everywhere.

The King of Chu knew that the Mozhe did not use all his strength today, and that moat that was thousands of feet away had not been passed, and he would start again tomorrow.

Knowing that the city had not done its best, the King of Chu was also worried that the Mohzhe would go out of the city to attack at night, or to counterattack when he was withdrawing his troops. The sun was still very high, so the King of Chu could only order the siege to be temporarily suspended.

"Once you retreat after night, the city will fight back while the chaos is coming. Today, the moat cannot pass through, but the earthen mountains have been built. You must defend the earthen mountains at night to prevent the Imperialists from counterattacking at night to seize the earthen mountains."

"Tomorrow morning, continue to fill the ditches and ants attack the city!"

The King of Chu had his own considerations for his care. At this time, it was actually about an hour before it was dark, but if it was really dark before it was withdrawn, the King of Chu was sure that the Mozhe in the city would never miss the opportunity to withdraw the troops in chaos.

The closest servants sent orders down, and the archers pressed the formation. The chaotic soldiers began to retreat slowly, and prepared a large number of elite soldiers to guard against the city.

There were many soldiers stationed near Tushan to prevent night attacks.

In the city, the sound of the trumpet of the Chu people retreating reached the tower. Mozi observed for a long time and was convinced that the Chu people were useless today. He smiled and said, "Today, the time of the Chu people has been delayed. I have expected that they cannot attack the city today. Tomorrow they will definitely choose the method of ants."

"If the guest faces the ants and the ants are attached to him, the master will know first, and the master will benefit, and the guest will be at the right time. Shangqiu will still be worry-free tomorrow."

Shi asked: "Sir, I have heard that you and Gongshu squad debated with a belt as the city. Gongshu squad once built a ladder. Although he stopped studying siege machinery because of your gift, the Chu people were still proficient in city climbing attacks. How many people do you think you need to defend the possible ants siege tomorrow?"

Mo Zi pointed to the Chu people who were slowly retreating in the distance and said, "Look at the Chu people nowadays. If you had a neat army, could you take the opportunity to defeat them?"

I wished that the Chu people, seeing that although there were archers pressing the formation, the chaos of retreating was still in line with the organizational level at this time, nodded and said, "It is OK, the most chaotic when withdrawing troops. If an army can still be uniform when withdrawing troops, it can be the world's most powerful army."

Mo Zi smiled and said, "You know the role of a uniform team. I can defend the city, so I will naturally attack the city. I have calculated how many people can be dispatched at most to attack the city. As for the current situation of the Chu people, they are approaching the city wall in a mess and have no effect. Can those soldiers attack the city?"

"Can you attack the city by dispersing the elite and leading the soldiers? No, it is different to hit people with the same strength on the awl and on a wide cloth."

"I still have machinery such as getting off the grinding cart yet. Even if your gunpowder is inconvenient to prevent the Chu people from being wary tomorrow, the lime and hot oil you make are methods that the Chu people have never tried. If ant attaches to attack the city, there must be archers to suppress the formation, and there are disciples who are winged to attract feather arrows on the city, and there are big shields to cover the elites. You can see the direction of the Chu people siege at a glance. In fact, there are 4,000 people who are enough to guard the city, and those who sprinkle lime and hot oil on the city can also do it."

When Mozi said four thousand people, he aggravated his tone. Where can I understand Mozi's meaning? He smiled and said, "Sir, do you want to take advantage of the Chu people's ant to attack the city tomorrow and lead the snake out of the cave?"

Mo Zi laughed and said, "If there is a snake, it will be able to come out tomorrow. If there is no snake, there will be no chance to climb out in the future."

Shi nodded and said, "The disciple thinks that it needs to give the snake more time."

Mo Zi nodded and said, "Wuyou, the people of Chu will not be close to a hundred feet tomorrow. I said no, so they can't."

Shi knew that Mozi had many clever and mechanical skills that he had never used, and also knew some secret techniques to defend the city. After all, he was not a bird and slippery person and could not know them all, so he trusted Mozi very much.

He said: "The disciple understands what he is going to do."

Mozi said: "The things in the city are what we want to do. I will concentrate on guarding the city and ensure that Shangqiu is not broken, and the rest will be left to you."

…………

In some mansions in the city, the nobles who were excited by the Chu people's siege were celebrated. The opportunity they had been waiting for for a long time finally came.

They don’t need the Chu people to break through Shangqiu. If the Chu people attack Shangqiu, they will be puppets supported by the Chu people. In that case, many people in the city will be dissatisfied.

They needed the Chu people to attack the city, otherwise the Mo people would be well guarded and they would not have the chance to cause trouble in the city, let alone major events such as burning food.

But after celebration, the Chu people's siege today made them very dissatisfied, because everything in the city was as usual and had no effect. Many Mo people were even resting under the city, and the elites near Mo people's workshop had never climbed to the city.

When Dayin was secretly discussing with everyone, he saw that everyone was worried and asked, "Today, the people of Chu are still a hundred feet away from the city wall, so they cannot move forward. Will the people of Chu not attack the city tomorrow?"

"Yangni Tushan has been formed. Tomorrow, you only need to fill the moat to get close to the city wall. There are tens of thousands of people from Chu. Even though the Mo people are so sophisticated, once the ants are attached to the city, how can they be as light as they are today?"

"Besides, if the Chu people were urged to attack, the Sicheng Emperor clan would have to worry, and their dead soldiers would have to be sent to the top of the city. This is the time for us to take action."

Gongshu Cen said happily and worriedly: "I am afraid that if there is chaos in the city, the Chu people will destroy the city. Although we have to borrow the power of the Chu people, we cannot rely entirely on the Chu people. The Chu people are greedy, and we must guard against the Chen Cai things in the past."

He considered more and was more in line with his vital interests. When King Chu served as Duke Chen and Duke Cai, the local nobles were still in use, but the real Duke Chen and Cai could only escape to Qi.

Since he corresponds to the story of brothers and brothers in the nursery rhymes, he certainly does not want the King of Chu to serve as Duke Song. In that case, the other nobles are still acceptable, but he can only escape.

The great Yin Lingqi comforted, "Don't worry, even if there is a change in the city, the Mo will not leave the city wall. If Zitian's order cannot be issued, Mo Di will not give up the city wall. Then Mo Di will not defend it if Song Gong is replaced."

"Mo Di was hired by Duke Song, not by Zitian. Mo's art of defending the city was enough to support the people of Chu retreating. As long as there is enough food, the Mo family could keep it."

Gongshu Cen Xi was relieved, thinking that if the Chu people broke the city, they would sign an alliance under the city with Zitian at that time. Why do I need me? Zitian hated Chu but did not ally, but I was close to Chu and ally.

Since the last coup with Sichenghuang, the nobles of various families have been frightened and live under the shadow of the Sichenghuang clan.

Especially twenty years ago, the Chu people sent troops to suppress the Sicheng Emperor's clan at the request of Duke Song. After Huang Chi Yongqiu was defeated by the Three Jins, the Sicheng Emperor's clan was even more vague with Gongsong. Both sides seemed to have a secret agreement and did not disturb each other.

Now that there is a rare opportunity, how can I bear it anymore?

Everyone's interests are consistent, and they are surprisingly united, just to eliminate the Sicheng Emperor's line in one fell swoop. As for whether there will be another Sicheng Emperor in the future, that's what I will talk about later.

The Great Yin asked Yu Xiaosiko, "What are the movements of the people in the city now?"

Xiao Siko frowned and said, "I also secretly sent people to spread rumors in the city, saying that the Chu people will be besieged for a year this time, because Mozhe's method of Sumai made the Chu people receive food for the land, and also said that the Three Jins had just formed an alliance with Qi and could not send troops... However, Mozhe had a ban and could not say that the enemy was strong and we were weak during the siege, so the dead soldier was found and had been executed a few days ago."

The dead soldier adhered to the morality of being a dead soldier and did not give up who was driving him later. Xiao Sikou said again: "But these days, the rumors have been that the Chu people besieged the city this time because Zitian was rude to Chu and Jin, which led to the Chu people sending troops. The Mo people were busy guarding the city and had not yet captured it."

He didn't know that it was the responsibility of Xuanyi Department who grasped the rumors and movements in the city. He checked and arrested them selectively. He was not busy guarding the city and could not arrest them, but he just felt that it would be no harm to spread these rumors.

Dayin asked: "Do the people have any opinions?"
