Self-destruction of the Great Wall?
Everyone looked at Yun Zheng in confusion.
Although they didn't know what the Great Wall was, they still understood the general meaning.
Could it be that Yun Zheng wanted to risk his own life in order to survive?
Dugu Ce frowned, "Your Majesty, can you tell me more about this?"
"sure!"
Yun Zheng nodded slightly, and then said loudly: "Before I go into details, I want to make three rules with you all!"
Three rules?
Everyone frowned.
Qin Qihu's brows were almost twisted together.
...
...
He seemed to no longer recognize Yun Zheng in front of him.
"Tell me!"
Dugu Ce raised his eyes and looked towards Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng didn't say anything more and spoke directly: "First, our situation is critical now. No matter what you think of me, keep it to me first! The most urgent task is to break out of the encirclement!"
After Yun Zheng said this, many people began to think secretly in their hearts.
Yun Zheng had obviously guessed what everyone would think of him.
Since he has already guessed it, it means that he must have some rebellious thoughts in his heart.
It seems that all of them underestimated the prince's ambition.
"Can!"
Dugu Ce nodded happily, "We can talk about our family affairs later! Right now, Beihuan is our enemy! Even if brothers want to fight, we should wait until we drive away the enemy!"
As Dugu Ce finished speaking, everyone nodded.
Dugu Ce’s metaphor is very good.
Solve your own problems at home!
Now, let’s unite against external foes!
Yun Zheng nodded slightly, and immediately continued: "Second, once I sit in this position, everyone must obey my orders unconditionally! When discussing matters, you can ask questions, but orders on the battlefield, no matter how many questions there are, must be executed!"
"good!"
This time, without waiting for everyone to discuss, Dugu Ce agreed on behalf of everyone.
After all, he was the deputy commander of the Northern Army, so he understood this simple truth.
Obey orders!
This is what should be done!
When two armies are fighting, who has time to explain every order to others?
"Third, no one should talk about risking their lives to break out unless it is absolutely necessary!"
Yun Zheng suddenly raised his voice and glanced at everyone with a cold look.
Facing Yun Zheng's gaze, everyone nodded.
This request is very reasonable.
As long as there are other ways to break out, who would be willing to sacrifice their lives?
The key point is that even if human lives are sacrificed, it may not be possible to break out of the siege.
When the time comes to break out by force, we can just leave it to fate!
"Your Majesty, you can tell me your plan now!"
Dugu Ce urged: "What do you mean by self-destruction of the Great Wall?"
Yun Zheng smiled faintly, "It's very simple! Tear down the city wall!"
"What?"
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, everyone's faces changed color.
Tear down the city wall on the hill by yourself?
This... this is not destroying the Great Wall, this is clearly seeking one's own death!
Once the city wall is demolished, won’t others just surround us?
Without the city walls, what could they use to fight against enemies that were three times their number?
They were still repairing the city wall!
In the blink of an eye, we are going to start demolishing the city wall again?
This... isn't this simply sick?
"When I say tear down the city wall, I don't mean tearing it down completely!"
Yun Zheng stopped the discussion and said in a deep voice: "I only want to demolish a small part of the east and west walls!"
Tear down a small portion of the city walls on the east and west sides?
But they still couldn't understand what the meaning of Yun Zheng's doing this was?
Dugu Ce thought for a moment and immediately asked, "Does Your Majesty want to open all four gates at once and break out in four directions?"
There are only north and south gates on the hill, and no east and west gates.
If Yun Zheng demolished part of the city wall in the east-west direction, wouldn't all four gates be opened at the same time?
Apart from breaking out in four directions, he really couldn't think of any other meaning of Yun Zheng's doing this.
"Of course not!"
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "But I hope our enemies think so!"
Um?
After hearing this, everyone started thinking about it again.
While everyone was thinking about it, Yu Shizhong was the first to react, "Your Highness, are you trying to trick Beihuan into splitting their forces to our east and west, and then concentrate your superior forces to find the enemy's weak points and attack?"
"good!"
Yun Zheng looked at Yu Shizhong approvingly and replied, "If Beihuan does not split its troops to the east and west, then we can send a small number of people at night to feint an attack on the enemy troops at the south gate, pretending to open up the road to Beiyuan Shoal!"
"right!"
Yu Shizhong said excitedly: "When the time comes, the Beihuan army at the north gate will definitely send troops to support us. We can ambush troops in the east and west directions, attack from both directions, kill the enemy by surprise, consume some of the enemy's troops, and then quickly retreat back to the city!"
Yu Shizhong had not learned from Yun Zheng in vain these days, and he instantly understood Yun Zheng's intention.
Hearing Yu Shizhong's words, everyone's eyes brightened.
This is not a bad idea.
If the enemy fell into the trap, they might not be able to kill many of them, but even if they could kill a few hundred of them, it would be good!
They are now under siege and need victory to boost morale!
"What if the enemy at the north gate doesn't send reinforcements?"
Qin Qihu frowned and asked.
"Then launch a massive attack on the enemy forces at the South Gate!"
A cold light flashed in Dugu Ce's eyes, and he immediately came up with a countermeasure.
"No!"
Yun Zheng shook his head and denied it. "A frontal attack will do us no good. Even if we break out, we will probably suffer heavy casualties! Moreover, if we don't leave enough troops to defend the various gaps in the city, once the Beihuan army breaks into the city, we won't even have a chance to defend the city!"
"This..." Dugu Ce thought for a moment and rejected his own idea. He then asked, "What is the prince going to do?"
Yun Zheng replied: "If they don't move, then we can send a small number of people out from the west. At that time, I will make arrangements in advance and have someone send a letter to Shuofang to let the Shuofang garrison cooperate with our follow-up actions! As long as the Shuofang troops cooperate, Beihuan will never be able to trap us!"
Is that so?
Dugu Ce didn’t know where Yun Zheng’s confidence came from, but he also felt that Yun Zheng’s plan was feasible.
Anyway, Beihuan’s catapults are coming!
By the time the Beihuan catapults are deployed on the battlefield, the city wall on the hillside will probably be in ruins.
Instead of doing that, you might as well dismantle a part of it yourself and give it a try!
"good!"
Dugu Ce made the decision immediately and left the main seat at the same time, "From now on, we will obey the prince's orders! We will talk about the future later!"
"That's right!"
Yun Zheng nodded slightly, and immediately sat down in Dugu Ce's seat, and immediately ordered: "Yu Shizhong, pass the order down, kill 500 horses first, no matter if they are war horses or mules!"
"ah?"
When this order came out, everyone was dumbfounded.
What's going on? They haven't done anything yet, but they kill the war horse as a sacrifice?
"Oh shit!"
Yun Zheng said unhappily, "We have limited firewood in this city. We have to use even the little fire we have! After killing the war horses, cut the horse meat into strips and roast it beside the pot while we cook. After it's cooked, collect it immediately for future use..."
A horse should produce three to four hundred kilograms of meat.
The meat from five hundred horses is barely enough to keep them going for two more days!
If he wasn't afraid that there would be too much meat and he wouldn't be able to roast it in time, he would have wanted to kill a thousand war horses at once.
After listening to Yun Zheng's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
I have to say that Yun Zheng is quite careful.
He had thought of all this.
Well, the fire in the pot is burning anyway, so we might as well make use of it and get some dry food.
Otherwise, when there is no firewood to burn, all you can do is eat raw meat!
"I will do it right away!"
Yu Shizhong immediately took the order and left.
Watching Yu Shizhong leave, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on Yun Zheng.
This prince had even thought of this kind of thing in advance. Perhaps, he could really lead them out of the encirclement...
