"don't want……"

"Please let us go..."

The two women in Teng Kingdom cried and begged, and the two men were tied up by the soldiers' backhands, and their mouths were also stuffed with rags. They were frowning and staring at Meng Heng and the four men on the chariot with an indignant look.

“They are innocent civilians.”

Meng Zhong said with a frown.

"innocent?"

Meng Heng chuckled, pointed at the man who was struggling most intensely, and squinted his eyes and said, "This guy has killed anyone. Do you think he is innocent? Don't think I'm just talking nonsense. When you have experienced too many things, you will naturally feel... Kill them, Ah Zhong!"

Perhaps hearing Meng Heng's words, the two women cried and begged: "No, please let us go, my brother has never killed any Song people..."

"Shut up!" Meng Heng shouted coldly, scaring the two women to the point of being disgraceful and trembled.

Seeing this scene, Meng Zhong shook his head and lowered the sword in his hand: "They are innocent."

Meng Heng frowned and looked at A Zhong. Seeing that the latter was determined, he shook his head in disappointment, and then said to Meng Hu: "A Hu, go and kill them."

At this time, Meng Min had drawn out his sword and stuffed it into Meng Hu's hands.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong said in a deep voice: "Ahu, no!"

"I..." Meng Hu held the sword with a panic on his face. After a long time, he also put down the sword in his hand, shook his head and said, "A Zhong is right. They are just innocent civilians in Teng Kingdom... It is not honor to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"madness!"

Meng Heng showed disappointment on his face, he took off the chariot, pulled out the sword from his waist with a clang, and chopped down at a man's head.

With a "ding" sound, his sword was blocked. It turned out that Meng Zhongyi jumped out of the chariot and blocked Meng Heng with the sword in his hand.

"What are you doing? Ah Zhong?"

Meng Heng looked at Meng Zhong with an incredible look and asked, "Did you point your sword at your own tribe?"

"I don't." Meng Zhong shook his head and explained: "Brother, I just feel that it is unacceptable to killing civilians indiscriminately... They are just civilians of Teng and want to escape from this war..."

"Do you know how many Song people in the Teng people killed me? Even your brother, Uncle, died at the hands of Teng people!" Meng Heng added a little more force, but what surprised him was that Meng Zhong was obviously a few years younger than him, but the force in his hand was not weak, and he was stunned to resist his force.

"My brother, he died at the hands of Teng Hu, and the members of our tribe died at the hands of Teng State soldiers. Teng Hu and his soldiers of Teng State under his command will be my targets of revenge, but not these people..." Meng Zhong replied firmly.

Seeing this, Meng Heng's eyes showed a bit of sharpness. At this moment, Meng Min stopped shouting and said, "Aheng, enough!...... So far. Don't you say that A Zhong is facing you with a sword, aren't you facing the tribe members with a sword?"

Meng Heng glanced at Meng Min and finally lowered his hand.

"madness."

After glanced at Meng Zhong, Meng Heng said something, returned to the chariot, drove the chariot, and left with a team of about thirty soldiers.

During this period, Meng Hu saw Meng Heng with anger on his face and jumped out of the chariot with sensible abilities.

Seeing Meng Heng leaving with his people, Meng Min sighed and turned to Meng Zhong and said, "A Zhong, we just want to help you... There are no new recruits who have been stained with blood on their hands. Many people can't even survive the first battle. Aheng and I have always been close to Ah Bo, and I don't want you..."

Meng Zhong nodded silently.

"Let them go."

Under Meng Min's order, the more than 20 soldiers released the two men and two women.

Looking at the backs of the four people fleeing in a hurry, Meng Min sneered: "Did you see it? Ah Zhong, your kindness has not been exchanged for these people to thank you."

Meng Zhong said calmly after hearing this: "Catch them up, beat them up, and almost let them die here. What kind of kindness is this?... What's more, I did this not for them, but for the principles in my own heart."

"The principle of not killing innocent people indiscriminately?"

Meng Min smiled and walked slowly in the wilderness with a team of soldiers, Meng Zhong and Meng Hu.

During this period, Meng Min said with emotion: "Aheng, he was not like this before... We have seen too many of them in the past two years. Do you know "Mengju"? That is also our brother, with me, Aheng, and your brother Ah, we were once very close, and we were all soldiers from the team under Uncle Meng Zhi... Like you, Mengju also opposed the killing of civilians from Teng Country. Therefore, we secretly let many civilians from Teng Country, but the Teng people were not grateful for this. In the end, Mengju was killed by the Teng people he let go... That damn beast saw that Ah Ju didn't pay attention and took the opportunity to take away the weapons and stabbed Ah Ju to death with one sword..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Meng Zhong and Meng Hu, and said with hatred: "Although we finally cut the beast into meat paste, Aju couldn't survive... Ah Zhong, don't think that the civilians of Teng are innocent. Don't forget that they hate us in their hearts. As long as they have the chance, they will bite you back. At that time, no one will be kind to you."

Speaking of this, he patted Meng Zhong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, this place is not far from the military camp. You two will go back to the camp first. I'll find Aheng, we still have to patrol."

Meng Zhong nodded and watched Meng Hu watch Meng Min, the clan brother, leave with the soldiers.

"One day, will we become like this?"

Meng Hu asked.

"What?"

"Become as cold and ruthless as these two clan brothers... I was not unfamiliar with me when I was drinking and eating meat together yesterday, but just now..."

"Go back."

After patting his good brother's shoulders, Meng Zhong and Meng Hu returned to the military camp.

Back to the military camp and his military tent, Meng Zhong lay on the couch and recalled Meng Heng. What Meng Min said to him, he once again deeply realized why his teacher Zhuangzi had firmly stopped him from serving in the army.

Perhaps because of this unjust war, there was no so-called right or wrong, good or evil, and everyone was doing what they thought was right. Wang Yan of Song conquered Teng to make the State of Song powerful, Teng Hu killed Song Bings in order to protect his subjects, as well as Meng Heng, Meng Min, and the Teng people.

Pure good and evil, right and wrong, cannot define this war and interpret this war.

As he thought about it, Meng Zhong suddenly thought of the piece of cloth in his arms, the piece of cloth with a sketch of the well railing.

After a little thought, he turned over and got off the straw couch and went to Sima Mengqing's military tent.

At this time, Sima Mengqing was in his military tent and discussed yesterday's siege with his brother Meng Zhi and the young leader of his Meng family Meng Wu.

In yesterday's siege, the Mongolian clan soldiers were retreated from the front line of the battlefield by Sima Jingyan to the flank, so there was no loss to the soldiers. However, the difficulty in conquering Teng City still caused them some psychological pressure.

Most commonly speaking, if they do not conquer Tengcheng in one day, they will not be able to return to their hometowns in one day. Even if the war is unfavorable, they will inevitably be implicated.

While the three were discussing, they heard a clan member outside the tent report: "Sima, Meng Zhong asked for a meeting."

When he heard that Meng Zhong was asking for a meeting, Meng Qing immediately summoned the former to enter the account and asked about the former’s purpose of coming here or what needs it had.

"Uncle Meng Qing...and Uncle Meng Zhi and Uncle Meng Wu."

"A Zhong, have you followed Meng Heng, Meng Min and others on patrol?" Meng Zhi asked curiously.

Meng Zhong did not explain in detail and confused him. Then, he spread the cloth with a sketch of the well railing on the low table in front of Meng Qing and said, "Three uncles, about the B-walls in Tengcheng, the boy thinks that this thing can be used to crack...the well railing car!"

Meng Qing, Meng Zhi and Meng Wu were stunned when they heard this. They looked carefully at the sketch drawn on the cloth. Meng Zhi asked in surprise: "What did you think of?"

"No." Meng Zhong quickly explained: "I just remembered that when I was watching the military parade book, similar siege equipment was painted in the military book, and I just changed it a little..."

"This is also amazing." Meng Zhi said with a smile: "Tell us in detail and see if this thing is as you said."

So Meng Zhong introduced the effect of the well railing to the three clan uncles. At first, Meng Qing, Meng Zhi and Meng Wu didn't care much, but the more they listened, the more they felt that this thing was extraordinary.

"Good thing!" He held up the cloth excitedly, and Meng Zhi said happily: "If this thing can be created, I believe Tengcheng will never be able to resist our army."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and said to Meng Zhong, "A Zhong, this thing... should I say something to the army Sima?"

Meng Zhong thought for a while and said, "Let's build it first and try the specific effect. As for the army Sima, Uncle Meng Qing will say it. After all, it's army Sima, so it's not appropriate for us to hide it from him."

"This is the best." All the three clan uncles nodded.

So, on that day, the Mongolian clan soldiers gathered soldiers and ordered them to go to the woods near the camp to cut down trees and transport them back to the camp to build a well railing.

Sima Mengqing, the family, went to the Wangshi's tent and reported the matter to Sima Jingsha, saying that their tribe Meng Zhong had come up with siege equipment that could break the B-wall of Tengcheng.

If it were someone else, the army Sima Jingzhi would probably not have cared about it, but considering that Meng Zhong was a disciple of Zhuangzi and Hui'an's righteous brother, this is worthy of Jingzhi's attention to this matter.

In addition, Jing Qian also personally came to the camp of the Mongolian clan soldiers to observe the construction of the well railing.

Since the soldiers of the Montessori were not craftsmen who mastered mortise and tenon technology, the first well railing truck was very rough, and many of the key positions had to be tied with straw ropes and hemp ropes. The degree of strength and stability were far from Meng Zhong's expectations. However, as the first well railing, it was barely acceptable.

"Try building four first."

After listening to Meng Zhong's introduction, the army's Sima Jingzhi also became interested in this object and sent soldiers to cut down trees and helped Meng Zhong build four well railings in just five days.

On the first day of August, the army's Sima Jingzi attacked Tengcheng again.

In this siege battle, the Song army used a well railing truck for the first time.
