Chapter 207 Advance
The nobles of Qi were not unfamiliar with Jizi North Korea. Most Qi imported literary skins, clothing, and maritime trade had also appeared. The essence of Jizi North Korea was near the Liaohe Plain in later generations. Many merchants in Qi North Korea transported goods from there to make profits.
On the Korean Peninsula, some Qi merchants are familiar with it. They pass through Changdao through Lai, go along Changdao to Liaodong, and then go from Liaodong along the coastline to the southern part of the Korean Peninsula for trade.
Tian Wu knew that this was the last path the strategist had found for him, and it seemed that it was the only feasible path after failure.
After bowing to thank him, Tian Wu thought to himself: If you go to the bitter and cold place to hide your name, even if you rely on the family traditions and knowledge of the nobles, you can become an official. Didn’t the ancestors of his family accumulate in Qi for more than a hundred years after the demise of the Chen State?
If you really force that step, this is the only way to do it.
The dead soldiers around him also expressed that they were willing to follow him and would never betray him throughout their lives. As for those nobles who wanted to follow him to rebel for more benefits, it was obviously impossible to follow this path.
Tian Wu, who was still young, could not have experienced what the sadness of Shu Li was.
But when the strategist talked about the fact that he would not succeed and fled to Jizi North Korea today, Tian Wu could feel the feeling of Jizi passing through the palace and singing Shuli.
Thinking that there might be such a day, Tian Wu couldn't help but tremble and sighed.
"The sky is everywhere! Who is this?"
The noble Emperor, who is forcing me to consider going away from home?
After singing, everyone was mourning. Tian Wu stopped this uncontrollable emotion. After crying, he began to think about future events again.
A few days later, the army gathered and began to unfold within this narrow area.
Tian Wu only said that he had a rash and could not see the wind, so he hid in the car to command, and the generals could only talk to him through the car window.
The main force is concentrated in Pingyang, using Pingyangyi as the starting point of the attack and the gathering place of troops, as a bridgehead for attacking Yingyi.
The nobles of the Fei Kingdom and some Qi troops stationed in Dongmu, guarding against the public affairs department.
The elite soldiers of Linzi and Tian Wu were dispatched to the vicinity of Dongmu on the grounds of preventing public escorts. At this time, Gongziwu had already met with the private soldiers who he wanted to take back to rebel and seize power. The soldiers who remained in the army were his advisers.
Once the war around Yingyi broke out, Gongziwu in Dongmu could quietly leave Dongmu, take advantage of the situation where the war attracted the attention of the Mo family, fled eastward, crossed Yishui, and reacted from Linzi to gather troops to prepare for a coup, calling on the nobles to defend Linzi.
…………
Yingyi has been repairing the city defense since being seized by the Mo family, and the two previous tentative attacks of the Qi army were easily defeated.
The more violent land reform and the large number of empty lands of fleeing nobles made it easy for the Mohist family to gain a foothold here.
Within 30 miles of the city, the people's support can be considered a sauté.
Most of the people in the city are farmers, which are easy to organize and publicize. Although it is difficult to control the villages and communities in the distance, the urban population is considered the foundation of a country at this time, because all countries cannot control the countryside and cannot obtain enough taxes and soldiers from the countryside.
Located along the Wenshui coast, it is convenient to transport grain and grass from the downstream.
The territory of Qi State occupied by the Mohist school today is roughly a triangle.
With Mount Tai as the base, Lucheng, Pingyin and Yingyi were not very far apart. In addition, the water system was well developed at this time, Yingyi had accumulated enough food and grass for guarding.
Especially in Liangfu and other places, as the logistics supply storage place where the Linzi Legion went south, the enough grain in the granary could not only meet the needs of the charity master, but also learn from Nangong Shijuqiao's millet, and use grain as wages to raise the people to build the city walls, gaining enough good reputation and not forcing labor.
Even if the city wall is built in the short term, it is impossible to have bricks like Pengcheng or Peixian, and then dig enough soil to prevent shelling and the walls are densely covered.
However, the Mohist school itself has its own skills in defending the city and has its own system. Combined with geometry and the summary and development over the years, it will be enough to turn Yingyi into a difficult city to break in the short term.
At the top of Yingyi City, the commander of the Second Division was using a thousand-mile mirror to observe the winding and sharp-angled city wall. There were many busy local farmers on the city wall.
The messenger ran over and said, "Terminal Commander, the engineers are here. Shi Shuai sent all the cannons that attacked Pingyin, with a total of more than twenty heavy bronze cannons. The engineers are in a hurry to build the fort."
The commander of the second division nodded, thinking of the order he had conveyed before, and thought of: "Shishuai means to let us defend first and see what the Qi people are going to do. Zi Mozi thought that such a city was enough to defend the 50,000 army. Now I have artillery and have renovated the city, so there is no problem to defend it."
He was also confused and couldn't understand why the Qi army was desperate to fight this battle of defeat, but then he thought that if he was Tian Qing and Tian Wu, the matter had come to this point, and he really had no way to break the deadlock.
The Mo family has defended many cities over the years and is good at sieging cities. It is precisely because Mozi is good at sieging cities that he can defend the city. Now the methods of siege cities are constantly changing, but ultimately there are ways to crack it.
With enough confidence, the entire Second Division was not worried about the upcoming battle to defend the city. The Third Division became famous in the battle of Nanjishui, and now each division is full of anger.
In addition, the glory of the Battle of Nanji River brought about a sense of morale, but for senior officers, they still carefully abide by the general contempt and should not underestimate the enemy when facing the battle.
He is skilled in defending the city, and various laws and regulations for defending the city have been promulgated. He has his own special person to take charge, so that everyone can perform their duties, so the chief general will feel much more relaxed.
This is the first time in the past few years that the Mohist school has arranged city defense in formal wars according to the city defense techniques accumulated by the Mohist school from the Mozi era.
The Mohist school's city defense technique was systematic, and it had a certain subconscious geometric foundation in the Mozi era. After twenty years of development, this systematic city defense has become increasingly perfect.
Zi Mo Zi said: Leading thousands of families and the city is three miles away, so it is better to guard it.
Yingyi is a town of ten thousand households, with a city of three miles, which is most suitable for defending the enemy's attack.
Zi Mozi said: If the enemy attacks, he will succeed. If the enemy attacks a group of 100,000 things, and if the four teams have no more than 50 steps, the upper level will be 50 steps, the middle level will be 300 steps, and the lower level will be 50 steps. If there are not 100 or 15 steps, the master will be beneficial and the guest will be sick.
This means that if one side of the siege, plus an army of nearly 100,000 like logistics and auxiliary troops, if you want to attack the city, you can only deploy four teams at most. These four teams are at most 500 steps wide, about a front of about 500 people. It forms waves and cannot rush up. This kind of siege is the command of famous generals, but given the narrow battlefield, it is only possible to deploy four teams, it will be messy if there are more.
Therefore, the defending party does not need to consider how many people there are on the other side. They only need to allocate the number of people according to the established countermeasures. Even if there are 100,000 on the other side, it is impossible to rush up in a swarm.
Zi Mozi said: All the heretics can make it difficult for the enemy to attack, but the most harmful ones are to build three pavilions and three corners of the pavilion. The weaver girl will be able to save her.
The so-called Weaver Girl means to deploy the Acropolis fortress according to the shape of Vega in the sky. As we all know, Vega and two nearby bright stars form the summer triangle. Mozi means that the Acropolis fortress must be configured in a triangle, that is, the shape of the Pin character, so that they can support each other.
In conjunction with the concept of "walking walls" proposed by Mo Zi, the actual foundation of geometric rationality to defend the city has existed. Once the gunpowder comes out, it is easy to form a professional fortress defense system.
Zi Mozi said: On the city, there is a Jue hole, with a bottom of three feet, and a five-step wide open position. The Jue hole is big and thunder, and the height is six feet, and the lower one is three feet, and the sparse number is appropriate. People are good at charcoal and have five sections. When the enemy is at the city, they hear the sound of drums, and the drums are re-drawn, and the inner jue hole is shining outside.
As the first person in optics in history, Mo Zhai naturally used optical knowledge in the art of guarding the city. The problem of small hole imaging allowed Mo Zhai to confirm that light traveled along a straight line, so he had to build a "Jue Cave" on the top of the city.
The so-called Jue Cave is to make a hole under the city wall, aiming the hole at the bottom of the city. Because the light spreads along a straight line, when the enemy attacks the city at night, ignite Jue's firewood. Because the hole is facing outside, these fires will shine outside.
Lighting a torch at the city wall is strictly prohibited by Mo Di. Lighting a torch at the city wall is equivalent to serving as a living target for the people under the city.
With the design of Jue Cave, it is possible to ensure that the enemy cannot see the layout of the city head, but the people on the city can use the firelight spreading in a straight line to see the deployment of the siege under the city night attack.
As for the so-called city-guarding machinery such as Qu Dean, tram, walking tower, walking tower, Jie Gao, Lianba, long axe, long vertebrae, long space, distance, flying rush, county □, crest, and relaying machine, some of them were directly replaced by gunpowder thunder and cannons without any stagnation, and the rest were also improved.
Yingyi, which is now east of Mount Tai, south of Linzi, and west of Yishui and Yimeng Mountain, is not well-built, but it is the first time in recent years that the princes of various countries have to face a city guarded by the Mohist school and the real Mohist school guard.
This is the confidence of the commander of the Second Division.
The city wall, which is within a radius of three miles, has been renovated and formed a layered star-shaped structure.
The moats and trenches outside are within the range of artillery attacks of star-shaped walls, and both sides of the trenches are just below the turret.
The concepts of "walk wall" and "weaver girl" are both intended to strengthen side fire firepower, so that the trench cannot become a cover for the attacking party, because there are turrets at both ends that can be fired sideways and directly attacked the trench. After accurate geometric calculations, it basically has no blind spots.
Within three hundred steps in front of the main entrance, there are two simple garrison forts, forming a large triangle with the main city behind them.
It seems that these two garrisons are separated from the main city, but in fact it is not the case, because if the two garrisons are not captured, there is no way to get close to the main city.
It is difficult to capture two garrison forts that are completely in accordance with the gunpowder era. If you only siege and attack the city without attacking, it is equivalent to suicide: the triangle intersection formed by the two forts and one city will completely kill the Qi army in this triangle structure.
In addition to chewing on your teeth or capturing Yingyi, the two garrison forts cannot be cut off and supported: because there are cannons on the city, they can block the three hundred steps of the distance between them and the garrison fort, and some heavy bronze cannons can also cross the three hundred steps of the distance before attacking the fortress directly.
