"What?"
"So fast?"
The man wearing the bamboo hat heard this and stood up. He had just formed an alliance with the Xiongnu and Donghu, and the Qin army was already charging over?
This was too fast!
At this moment, not only him, but the other commanders of the Mo Family were also shocked.
"How many people came?"
The Mo family's giant asked with a slightly shocked expression.
"About…twenty to thirty thousand people!"
"They are currently surrounding my Mo Family City. Please make a decision as soon as possible!”
The Mo Family disciple knelt on one knee and said in a panic.
"You only have twenty to thirty thousand soldiers, and you want to take down my Mo Family City?”
"This is simply a fool's dream!"
Hearing that there were only so many soldiers, the Mo family tycoon was relieved.
Mohist City was built on a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Outside the city, there were traps such as horse traps. It would be difficult for a mere twenty to thirty thousand people to break in.
"Giant, the Qin army is valiant in battle, we cannot be careless!”
"Why don't we send people out to seek reinforcements before the Qin army surround us?”
One of the commanders said worriedly.
"Alright, you guys stay here. I'll go to River East to find reinforcements!”
"As long as you can hold on for more than ten days, the reinforcements from River East will arrive!”
"At that time, we will definitely be able to wipe out the Qin army!”
The Mo Family giant nodded.
What made the commanders dumbfounded was that the giant actually wanted to go out and find reinforcements?
If the city fell, wouldn't they all become scapegoats?
"Mo Family City needs you to command it. It's better for me to do such an important task!”
"The journey to River East this time is dangerous and requires people with high lightness skills. I happen to have the best lightness skills, so let me go!”
"All of you are the magnates of my Mo Family City. Without you, the Mo Family City won't be able to hold on for a few days! Let me go!"
"I have dealings with the Xiang family of River East.”
"No, I can't! It's most suitable for me to go!"
As soon as the Mo family's giant finished speaking, the commanders spoke up one after another, all of them scrambling to go out and find reinforcements.
Moreover, all of them were dignified and reasonable!
"Stop arguing, it's still me…"
"Report…! Giant, the Qin army has surrounded our Mo Family City!”
Just as the Mo family's giant was about to go against the crowd and personally take action, another Mo family disciple came to report.
In an instant, the commanders who were originally arguing all quieted down.
It had only been a short while, and they were already surrounded by the Qin army?
However, now that everyone could not get out, there was no need to fight anymore!
"Let's go! Let's go out and take a look!"
The Mo family's giant was stunned for a moment, then he waved his hand in exasperation.
He led the commanders of the city to the top of the city wall and looked outside.
They saw the Qin army!
……
"Will this plan succeed?"
Meng Yi sat on his warhorse and glanced at Purple Dress and Xiao Zhuang.
According to the Crown Prince's orders, he was to assist the two of them in attacking Mo Family City.
Therefore, he had to listen to their commands!
"There are many traps around Mo Family City. Don't act rashly!”
"Otherwise, it will only increase the casualties!"
"Only a fire attack can break the city!"
Zi Yi stood on a hill and looked down at the Mo Family City below as she spoke indifferently.
"Come on, pour oil into the city!”
Xiao Zhuang waved his hand behind him, and the local county magistrate and county captain, who were attacking the city, quickly rushed forward with their men pushing wheelbarrows.
"Sir, is it useful to pour so much oil?”
"This is the oil used for the Changxin Palace Lantern that was presented to the Imperial Palace!”
The county governor looked at the carts of kerosene and said with some heartache.
"Then pour it, then pour it. What nonsense are you spouting!”
Meng Yi pulled out the sword hanging from his waist and scolded impatiently,""A traitor appeared under your rule, but you didn't report it. According to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, it's a capital crime!”
"General Meng is too serious. This lowly official is extremely loyal to Great Qin!”
"How dare you collude with the rebels!"
"Come on!"
"Hurry up and pour it down!"
"If it's not enough, please instruct me, and I'll go collect more!”
When he heard that he might be beheaded, the Prefectural Governor no longer dared to feel sorry for him.
He hurriedly ordered his subordinates to fall into the city at the foot of the mountain.
It didn't take long for more than a hundred vehicles of kerosene to be emptied.
"Set the mountain on fire!"
After pouring the kerosene, Purple Dress didn't order the city to be burned. Instead, she ordered the mountain to be burned.
"Yes, sir!"
"Crash…!"
The Qin army retreated one after another. Not long after, hundreds of fire spots were lit up with raging flames.
The Mo Family City was built on a mountain. The city was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there was only one road leading to the outside.
Once the three sides burned the mountain, the entire Mo Family City became a furnace.
The kerosene that had been thrown into the city also quickly burned up.
"Young Lady is truly a brilliant plan!"
Meng Yi praised sincerely as he watched Mo Family City descend into a sea of flames.
He had originally thought that such petty tricks would not have any effect. It would be better to directly send troops to attack.
Who would have thought that once the mountain was burned, the entire Mo Family City would turn into a sea of fire!
He estimated that he would be able to exterminate the Mo Family without expending a single soldier!
"Next, it's up to General Meng!”
Purple Dress floated down from the small hill and led the people of Drunken Fragrance Brothel down the mountain.
Actually, the reason why she could think of fire attack was due to the intelligence gathering ability of the Drunken Fragrance Restaurant.
The Drunken Fragrance Manor knew all the information and weaknesses of the Mo Family City like the back of their hand.
"Archers, get ready!"
Meng Yi personally led the cavalry and blocked the only exit of Mo Family City.
He nocked his bow and unsheathed his sword, waiting for the Mo disciples to come out and die.
……
"Hurry up! Open the city and kill your way out!"
In the Mo Family City, the Mo Family giant was still curious why the Qin army would pour kerosene into the city.
He only realized that something was wrong when the surrounding mountain fires started burning.
So he quickly ordered people to put out the fire!
However, the mountain fire was too fierce. The high temperature was about to melt people. How could they put out the oil fire in the city?
Seeing that all of them were about to die in the sea of fire, he steeled his heart and rushed out with his disciples.
He had no choice!
Charging out would only lead to death!
If he did not rush out, he would still die!
At least there was still a glimmer of hope!
"Release the arrows!"
Seeing the Mo Family disciples abandon the city and escape, Meng Yi immediately gave the order.
In an instant, arrows fell from the sky like raindrops and landed among the Mo Family disciples.
By the time the archers finished shooting all the arrows in the quiver, there were not many disciples left.
"The Crown Prince has ordered that everyone in the Mo family be killed!”
"No one is allowed to live!"
"Kill them!"
Meng Yi took the lead and led his troops to attack.
Xiao Zhuang led the assassins from Drunken Fragrance Brothel and charged forward!
There was no other way. If they could not destroy the Mo Family, there would be no need for the Drunken Fragrance Restaurant to exist!
