Chapter 240 Spear Penetrating the Five-Step Alliance ([-])
When the King of Chu thought this way, Gong Zaoye, who was not far away from the King of Chu, was also watching the flames on the wooden tower.

What he thought was completely different from King Chu.

"Sir and Shi, for tonight, we have prepared more than a month in advance, with complete details."

"The volunteers in Peixian County fought for the first time, and it was night again. If there were no guiding flames, it would be really difficult to distinguish east and west, regardless of north and south."

"King Chu's camp is just ahead, without this tower of flames, it's really easy to go in the wrong direction!"

"It's a good plan, but it's a pity that if it happens tonight, it's not easy to publicize it. It will make Shi Shi less chance to be famous in the world."

Thinking of this, Gong Zaoye was secretly a little excited.

Under his feet, he stepped on a Chu man who was stabbed to death by him, and behind him was the Sima of Chu who was bombed to death.

Looking at the swords, decorations, and leather armor of these Chu people, Gong Zaoye knew that these must be the most elite Chu people.

However, these most elite soldiers have already been defeated. It was just a neat throw and a subsequent charge. These Chu people were either killed or fled in all directions.

Many people were even shocked by the loud noise, or stood still in fright, waiting for the spear to pierce their leather armor and penetrate their bodies.

Gong Zaoye didn't know that Chu Sima was dead, but he knew that night battles were not easy, and that it was a sneak attack. The Chu people could gather troops to fight back against night battles, and that was all.

Breaking through these people means that the road in front of King Chu is completely opened.

It is impossible for those retreating apprentices, peasants and soldiers to stop their own advance.

Gong Zaoye understands that the most worrying and most terrifying threat of being stuck and outflanked has been lifted, and all that remains is the final assault on the stronghold.

If the King of Chu fled, Gong Zaoye felt that he could use these gunpowder weapons and the confusion brought about by the King of Chu's escape to smash the Chu camp, making Chu's people frightened and even causing them to retreat.

If you don't escape, then the last stronghold is when you become famous all over the world.

He is not very interested in simply being famous in the world, but he is very interested in being famous in the world "by benefiting the world and relying on the courage of a gentleman".

The Mohists are not fighting, they advocate the courage of the gentleman, and most oppose the courage of the market.

The Mohists value righteousness, advocate the great righteousness of benefiting the world, and most oppose the small righteousness of personal communication.

The warriors advocated by the Mohists are Cao Mo who forced Qi Huan to retreat with five steps of blood splashing in the first battle of Changshao, Yan Ying who was not afraid of death after the Cuizi Rebellion, and Jiang who drove against the enemy's line after the unreasonable Shang Zhou. Yet……

Gong Zaoye had envied all of this.

But tonight, he knew that he might achieve the same reputation as these sages with the courage of gentlemen he admired.

Even more legendary.

The Song Dynasty is weak, the Chu is strong and fierce, and Shangqiu is weak and tired.Under such circumstances, Jiu Jiu, a disciple of the Mohist School, went to Song Dynasty. He Gong Zao Ye led a group of fellow sects, defeated the Chu army by hundreds of thousands, forced the king of Chu to form an alliance, and saved Shangqiu City!
Just thinking about it, the Mohist school can become famous all over the world, it can make the warlike king think twice, and he can even become a legend among the market.

Gong Zaoye touched the scar on his cheek, thinking that if this was the case, he would have won the bet with that person!In other words, I am finally qualified to teach that person a lesson, let him know what a gentleman is, and what is righteousness in the world!

Gongzaoye is not afraid that that person doesn't know, because the book secretaries and Xuanyi Department in charge of Shishi have activities in the giant cities and big cities, and those grass-and-silk writings that are circulated among the market will also write some general trends in the world.

Compared with the past, if it really happens tonight, Gong Zaoye knows that this matter will spread throughout the world faster than before.

For a maximum of three years, from the northern border of Yan to the southern barbarians of Chu, from the East China Sea of ​​Qi to Xisai of Qin, no one knows his name of Gong Zaoye, and he can let the world know what a gentleman's courage is!What is the righteousness of the world!

With heartbeat and excitement, Gong Zaoye raised his head again to look in the direction, just as he had thought before, after breaking through the last organized army formation of the Chu people, he stopped and formed a team, blowing away the flutes and drums, and did not disperse.

He seems rough, but in fact he is careful, the more he knows that things are promising, the less likely he is to do impulsive things, and all efforts will fall short.

Therefore, he remembered Shi Shi's words, and because of his many years of experience following Mozi, he knew that at this moment, what he needed to do was to organize the team, keep the formation and move forward, and not be chaotic because of the victory in front of him.

When he ordered the reorganization of the team, he had already made a judgment: this time there was no need to pursue the Chu people, and it was impossible for these Chu people to regroup before dawn.

He could clearly see the panic of the Chu people around him, but he could see that the elite Chu people were fleeing in all directions without distinguishing between east and west.

In this case, there is no need to pursue, because the target is not them at all.

After finishing the team, Gong Zaoye looked at the soldiers beside him, and became more convinced of what he just said.

The soldiers of the Peixian Volunteer Division who had killed the whole team for the first time were already at their highest morale, and the murderous spirit and courage accumulated for a long time were not fully released in the battle just now.

Just like a barrel full of gunpowder, the previous battles were just the fuse of their courage and morale, but now their momentum can overwhelm any enemy.

There is no harassment from the enemy's bows and arrows, no patience and courage to slowly walk forward to face the bows and arrows, no face of an army that is as well-formed as they are, let alone threats from the flanks and rear, and even no chariots... …

In this case, the soldiers who formed a dense formation for the first time can maximize their advantages.

But what they faced was the Chu army who was frightened by the gunpowder and lost their courage; it was the army array that was blown open by the intensive projection of gunpowder; The leader's elite...

So when they rushed forward in a formation that was a little loose due to the impact of running, they turned into a one-sided massacre as they did in their usual training.

After completely defeating the remnants of the elite Chu people with almost no casualties, Gong Zaoye forcibly ordered the team to stop and regroup. The courage and blood stagnant in their hearts just needed a chance to be released.

The Mohist disciples on the two wings are much more ordinary. They have experienced too many battles, and they have also experienced too many situations where they went out of the city to fight back and even killed the enemy generals. With courage, so tepid as usual.

Gong Zaoye knew that the army's morale was in full swing, and there was no need for any words at this time. All he needed to do was draw his sword, point his finger at the burning tower, and move forward.

So, he drew his sword and pointed it in the direction and shouted: "Take the tower to see the flames, walk slowly!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the drums sounded again, and those teams who suppressed their blood and courage finally suppressed their inner restlessness in the sound of footsteps after dozens of steps.

There were no organized resistance Chu people along the way, because the distance was not far away, and it was impossible for those who did not flee to organize counterattacks and defenses here.

When the bright flame was only a hundred and fifty steps away, Gong Zaoye narrowed his eyes and stared at the place where the flame was burning, feeling hot in his heart.

That's where the king of Chu is, that's where the Mohists can really intimidate the warlike king and become famous all over the world, and that's where he will be famous for being a gentleman with the righteousness of the world.

Those masonry camps, which seem to be solid, actually left a dead angle for archery, because they were built by the Mo family under the guise of "Welcome the Enemy Shrine" just for today.

Those masonry camps looked solid, but they couldn't hold the shovels and gunpowder behind them. It only took a few blows to break through the walls of the camp.

The king of Chu is inside, and there seem to be many Chu people guarding it densely, but it doesn't make sense.

Gong Zaoye knew that once he broke through from a dead corner, the people inside would be rushed away quickly with the advantage of being able to throw gunpowder mines across the camp.

The king of Chu who seemed to be heavily guarded, and the people of Chu who seemed to be gathering to fight to the death, probably had no chance.

King Chu didn't know that in the eyes of Mohist disciple Gong Zaoye, he had already become a step that could make him famous all over the world.

I don't even know that this seemingly strong fortress actually deliberately left a dead corner loophole, and I didn't expect that gunpowder mines could be thrown over the wall of the fortress without blowing up themselves.

This is a cross-age fortress. Although it is simple, it has the shape of a star.

However, there were no cannons in the low brick walls, and no muskets to support them with dense volleys, so the fortress was not strong at this time.

There are more than a thousand people gathered around the king of Chu: either because of loyalty, or because of being forced to gather, or for personal gain after the war.

There are archers, swordsmen, apprentices, and nobles.

What they have to do is, as the king of Chu said, to stick to the camp until dawn.

As long as you last until dawn, you can survive.As long as you last until dawn, you will be rewarded with military merits.As long as he lasted until dawn, he might still be remembered by the King of Chu.

All these temptations seem to be able to resist the previous panic and fear.

The king of Chu was fortunate that his sons were not on the two wings of the camp. After he succeeded to the throne, he managed to stabilize the nobles. At least at this time, the rest of the nobles knew that they were besieged, and they would come to rescue immediately.

The king of Chu looked at the seemingly solid and reliable camp, at the loyal men who declared that they would die, and those soldiers who were willing to fight to the death for their own interests, and thought, they can always last until dawn!

Besides, maybe before dawn, the Chu people in the two wings and the camp might gather around in an organized way. After all, there was a flame on the wooden tower above his head to point the way.

Seeing that those archers who were good at shooting were ready to shoot indiscriminately, and those gathered disciples were already preparing the whole team to defend, the King of Chu calmed down, and wanted to delay the time, so he wanted to shout a few words.

Gong Zaoye, who had already regarded the King of Chu as a step, stared at the camp more than a hundred steps away, thinking about the final battle that was about to begin, and asked the team to temporarily stop the whole team and assign tasks.

"The king of Chu is in the camp! Within five steps, the siege of Shangqiu can be broken, and he will not be famous in the world!"

He finally boosted morale. The soldiers of Pei County who had been silent all night and were on the verge of bursting shouted loudly. A soldier in the front row turned around and said loudly: "If the fight is successful, we can get what the people of Pei County want. Got it! Why did we come to Shangqiu? Isn't it for our benefit? We will fight to the death tonight!"

This person was just venting his excitement, but it aroused the cheers of everyone in Pei County. From the very beginning, they came to Shangqiu not to guard the city for Song Gong, but to ask Song Gong to make a promise!

These were high-spirited words, but after hearing Gong Zaoye's burning heart, he suddenly calmed down.

He looked at the whole team of volunteer teachers in Pei County, and thought of the Mo family's purpose this time, and the Mo family's promise to everyone in Pei County...

Does the Mo family need to be within five steps of King Chu in person?Does the Mohists need this last blow to become famous all over the world?Does the Mohist need this to be praised by the world?

No need, he made a single-handed sword alliance with the King of Chu, and he and Peixian Yishi Baige allied with the King of Chu, all of which achieved the reputation of the Mohists.

The only difference is his public reputation.

After calming down, he finally suppressed the desire and expectation in his heart.

"This is the name of the five-step alliance with the King of Chu. My Mohists don't have to fight it. It's better to give it to the volunteers of Pei County! Song Gong must agree to this great achievement, and the people of Shangqiu will not allow him to refuse!"
