The messenger quickly conveyed the order. The elite martial knights were waiting on both wings. When the trumpet sounded, they began to jog and maneuvered towards the nearest road.

Those infantry or light cavalry who can ride horses disperse in groups of Sima and wait for someone to escape and chase after him.

In the city, the two companies that first entered the camp experienced the initial difficult and arduous battle. After the first wave of elite warriors of the Qi people were suppressed by muskets at the top of the city, the Qi people's final counterattack was invalid.

After crossing the city, the two companies gathered their soldiers and began to follow the direction they had arranged. Regardless of the subsequent musketeers and spearmen, who were impossible to keep up, drove the unsuccessful Qi army to rush into the city.

When you encounter a small group of enemies, you will rush over to kill. If you have a little more, you will throw iron thunder and explode and then rush.

There is actually only a thousand people on the front of the two sides of the war, but once the gap is broken, the entire Pingyang City can't be kept.

No matter how many people are, it is just paper. The Qi army cannot organize small-scale assembly and resistance.

The doctor who guarded the city in the city did not run away. He knew that it was meaningless to run at this time and would definitely be captured by the cavalry of the Mo family. When he saw the musketeers of the Mo family climbing up the city wall and the strange flag of the Mo family rose, he knew that Pingyang City could no longer be defended.

The dead warriors surrounded him, but he waved his hand and said, "I have tried my best to stop resisting, and it will only cause casualties."

He did not participate in the massacre of Wucheng, nor was he a nobleman from Feidi. He also knew that he could not have been involved in the Mo family's judgment, so he was not afraid.

If you are captured by the Mo family, you will have to be released anyway. It’s nothing if you are caught. At most, you can spend some money and a cow and horse to redeem yourself.

When Huayuan was captured and used three hundred horses, he estimated that one or two hundred horses would be enough to redeem it, and there was no need for the monarch to pay for himself. His fiefdom and his private property would be enough to redeem it.

If you escape, there will be many private members of the entourage and death soldiers around you, and the foundation of your family will be damaged in the future. It is better to be captured first and wait for the future.

Besides, there were more captured nobles in Qi this time, and I thought they would not have cut their fiefdoms because of this. If the king dared to do this, the nobles who were released after being captured would definitely drive away the king and support a more polite young master.

He knew that when he fought with the Mo family, even if he raised a white flag, he would surrender.

The people around him found a piece of white cloth, raised it high, and signaled to surrender.

After entering the city in the afternoon, the doctor saw Shi and said the first sentence was: "I am a Qi man and a doctor in the field. I should be a resourceful person for the Qi man. Since the city has been broken and the gap cannot be recaptured, Pingyang cannot be defended. If it continues to fight, the casualties of Qi man will only increase, so I will surrender."

"I hope that your army will not carry out the matter of plundering and massacre, and do not harm the people of Qi, and do not invade the surrendered soldiers. I have been granted the title of Qi for many lifetimes and cannot defeat the enemy, which is incompetent; Gongziwu asked me to defend the city and break the city for three days, which is ineffective. I cannot survive, but I hope that you will not plunder and massacre and injure the surrendered soldiers..."

There is no way to know the two sub-schemings on the opposite side. The Mo family, under the banner of the righteous master, did not kill or slaughter. Everyone knows everything, so how can they still talk about this?

Since there is no need to say, then if you really want to die, you would have died long ago. Why wait until now?

But he didn't say it out loud, but just said in a deep voice: "The general's surrender is not unfaithful or unbelief. In the past, Qu Dang said: You must end with this. Tian Wu slaughtered Wu City. Wouldn't such a disaster fall on the heads of the Qi people? He laid such a disaster for the young master of Qi, but he buried such a disaster for the Qi people, which is impossible to punish."

"You guarded the city and made me attack for three days. The city and city I fought with King Yue was destroyed in just one day. You have already guarded it very well, which is worthy of praise."

"And you ask for surrender in order to prevent casualties from Qi. This is the loyalty to the people of Qi and the trust of tens of thousands of soldiers."

"In ancient times, the Tao is loyal to the people and trusting the gods. The emperor thinks of benefiting the people is loyal; the emperor wishes to be righteous and trusting the history. Since you think of benefiting the people, isn't it loyal?"

"The Tai oath says: What the people want, heaven will follow it. How would the people of Qi die in an unjust war? In the past, Qi Huan attacked the unjustly and tyrannical Shanrong for the righteousness of the Xia Dynasty. The army was excited and went straight into Guzhu. Now Qi is unjustly attacking Fei, the army is resentful, and the people are determined. You ask to surrender and save the soldiers from death and injury, and Pingyang is spared from the war. This is what the heaven wants and the God's democracy."

Shi decisively gave the noble a big step. Anyway, the winner could reason, and the doctor's face was a little slow.

He said that in order to make the name clear, he was mainly reminded Shi: the slaughter of Wucheng had nothing to do with him. The first thing he did when he surrendered was to ask Shi not to slaughter and rob. How could he do something like slaughtering and robbing?

Shi also gave enough steps, using the explanation of "thinking the people to benefit the people is loyal; blessing the righteous words of the history is to be faithful." He proved that he was not unfaithful. He then said that people like Gongziwu were the masterminds to die. If you who did not participate surrender, you will not only be innocent, but also follow the heavens' wishes of God's democracy, which is for merit.

As for saying that it was enough for him to stay for three days, Dr. Qi heard this very well, and he was slightly satisfied.

In terms of etiquette, after Goujian and Xuzhou Alliance, Yue Kingdom was considered a "marquis" in the Central Plains system, and the title of king was only a priest in the local culture, not a title within the system. In name, it was a formal marquis in the Chinese system. It didn't matter what it was called when you closed the door.

King Yi and Shi of Yue fought and were captured in one day. Most of the cities during the battle were captured within one or two days. It was extremely rare for him to be able to defend for three days.

When Qi Huan conquered Manzhu, Yanhou sent him out to thank Qi Huan. Qi Huan said that he and Yanhou were both equal-level princes, and it was contrary to the etiquette to judge that Yanhou sent out of the country by etiquette. He was passive and usurped, so he gave the border city of Qi that Yanhou went to directly to Yan, thinking that it was a gift from China.

The etiquette system is still in the context of the nobles' preaching, and it is applicable to the time when the King of Yue fought against the siege of the city and compared it with Pingyang. One is that your own siege is indeed powerful and you have been good for three days. The other is that you also use the etiquette of the noble rules to give the other party a step. Even people with higher ranks than you can't defend for three days. There is no need to blame yourself after three days.

The nobleman was praised and determined that he would not be implicated by the murder of Wucheng. He was overjoyed, but hesitantly appeared on his face for a long time, and then he said, "Your words make sense."

So he died, and Shi took this opportunity to say that in order to prevent them from committing suicide, the soldiers who had to obey their orders had to obey their orders.

After these people were escorted away, the results of the battle had been counted. About 600 casualties were killed and 2,000 casualties in the country of Qi, and all the remaining Qi army were captured. However, some nobles had intervened in the soldiers, probably because they wanted to learn from Yu to swallow charcoal paint in order to find an opportunity to incite the uprising.

He said: "Then let's identify it. It would rather miss it than let it go. We should go to the decisive battle of Yingyi and not leave too many people behind. The nobles and the common people were detained separately."

Everyone is already skilled in identifying things.

It's just a matter of what time.

The length of nails, the cocoon of the thumb, etc., such as something that is not good at running, will not appear among these nobles.

At this time, the nobles basically had bamboo slips in their left hand and long bows in their right hand, which were solid force to divide the feudal system.

The length of the nails and the black mud can distinguish between common people and nobles.

The cocoon left by the thumb pulling the bow and the thick thumb trained since childhood are also a good way to distinguish nobles and commoners.

In addition to this, there are many methods, and the officers asked, "What about after the screening?"

After thinking about it, he said, "We need to go to Yingyi immediately. Gong Zaoye will soon conquer Dongmu, and the siege has been completed."

"Yingyi still has 60,000 Qi troops. If you cut off the baggages of the accompanying army, there will be at least 30,000 troops to fight. You need to do your best and you can't leave too many troops in Pingyang."

"This is what..."

He smiled and said, "I asked the captured Qi people to demolish Pingyang City. The city walls were dug open and the city gates were unloaded, leaving a brigade to guard the prisoners of war and maintain order. All the rest must go to Yingyi."

"As long as the city is demolished, even if the Linzi Army is defeated and fled, it will not be able to choose Pingyang. It can only run around and it will be easier to catch it at that time."

"Since Tian Wu is at Yingyi City, the elite private soldiers in his hands are reluctant to use to fight to the death. He must escape and try not to let him escape to a place where he can defend. He lives from the dead. If those who carry blood debts really fight stubbornly, they will suffer a lot."

After the officers were ordered, Shi Shi said again: "Snatch the time to repair it. The people and soldiers of Xuanyi's army made it clear that they should fight continuously so that casualties can be reduced and victory can be achieved. After winning the battle under Yicheng, Tian Wu was captured, and the entire army would have a meal. The battle of alignment was over."

He still thought Tian Wu was under Yingyi City, so when Pingyang was broken, he needed to go to Yingyi to fight immediately.

Dongmu has not yet captured it, because there are few people in Gongzaoye, and most of the guards of Dongmu are nobles with blood debts, but they cannot support Gongzaoye.

Because if Dongmu is defeated first, Pingyang will also be defeated, I am afraid that the Qi army under Yingyi will not care about breaking eastward, and its army will not be in Liangfu or Pingyang, but in Dongmu, and it may not be in a hurry. Besides, I heard from Yingyi that the Qi army was also starting to dig pits. Although the efficiency was slow, it was also necessary to guard against it.

It is confirmed that Gong Zaoye is enough to capture Dongmu, and news has also been heard that although there is a deadly resistance, the city can be broken in at most three or five days.

Since this is the case, the final battle of alignment is in control.

…………

In a small town east of Dongmu, Tian Wu, who was disguised as a disguised person, was still waiting quietly. The news that Pingyang was broken was expected, but he did not expect it to break so quickly.

Compared with Pingyang, which soon broke the city, Dongmu's defense can last for a few more days.

One example is that the Public School Metallurgical Department is a partial division, a small number of artillery, and the elite engineers of the Mohist school are all in the right army.

Second, many of the nobles who defended Dongmu were the nobles of Fei. The Mo family had to issue an order to punish the unjust order too early, which forced these nobles to resist and did not have the intention to surrender: they were all dead anyway, and the righteous troops of Fei's nationals would inevitably not allow them to live, and fighting to the death was inevitable.

For Yingyi, the elite troops in Gongziwu were guarding Dongmu to prevent Gongzaoye and the suitable soldiers. But in fact, he did not go to Dongmu at all, but chose to wait in a small town. Gongzaoye had not many soldiers and could not choose to attack two cities at the same time, at most, he would divide his troops and attack reinforcements.

Tian Wu was still moving, but symbolically sent some local defenders to support Dongmu, so that Gong Zaoye was not wary.

This place is only thirty or fifty miles away from Dongmu and Pingyang. As soon as the news of Pingyang being broken came, the confidants around him became a little panicked.

"There is a high method of siege, and it is indeed difficult to defeat. Yingyi is also difficult to defeat. Now Pingyang is broken, and the young master is the one who is in charge."

Tian Wu said, "No hurry. If I leave now, I will inevitably be suspicious. I will not move my troops now, and they just think I am under Yingyi City."

"When will the army be pulled to Yingyi, it is time to escape. Everything is within control."

"I've known that Pingyang City can't last for a few days, but I also know that Dongmu can defend for a long time, but it's not that it can't be defeated. What would you do if you were in a good position?"

The confidant thought about it and quickly said, "Young Master has a clever idea. Since Dong Mou can hold on for a long time, then Gong Zaiye's army will not be able to pursue us. Pingyang was defeated early and Dong Mou would not be able to capture him. At that time, the Gong Zaiye Department would definitely return to his army to rescue Yingyi first. At that time, as long as the Gong Zaiye Department can capture Dong Mou within five or six days, it can block the way our army will flee."

"If he captures Pingyang but goes to support Dongmu, he is afraid that our army under Yingyi will flee everywhere after panic, and he will definitely go to Yingyi immediately after capturing Pingyang."

"But he moved to Pingyang, for a decisive battle, so he couldn't move forward in a hurry. It would take at least two or three days. When he got close, he had to set up a camp and renovate it, which would take another day. During the decisive battle, although he was good at using troops, it would take only one day to solve the problem."

Tian Wu laughed and said, "That's exactly what it means. When the troops of Dazhi move to the battle against Yingyi, it is the time for us to cross Yishui. At that time, Gong Zaiye will barely break the city and be unable to pursue it. Dazhi will fight hard and chase it. After the battle, we will chase it here. We have been away for five days. How can he catch up?"

"Even if Gong Zaoye discovered that the situation was wrong and guessed something, could he let Dongmu, who was about to be captured, and the whole army came to chase me?"
Chapter completed!
