In the tent.
As soon as Yun Zheng received the message from the secret sentry, he heard a burst of noise in his ears.
"Yun Zheng, come out and speak!"
"Yun Zheng..."
Yun Zheng listened carefully for a while and finally understood the general content.
Yun Zheng burst out laughing.
Lou Yi, this bird man, is imitating himself again.
Do I even have to learn how to shout?
Can't you just send someone to shoot a letter over or something?
No creativity at all!
...
...
Just as Yun Zheng secretly complained and walked out of the tent, Shen Luoyan, who was in charge of the frontline defense, sent someone to report: "Your Highness, the enemy is shouting in front of our army and wants to see the prince."
"I heard it, my king."
Yun Zheng smiled, "Since Lou Yi wants to see me, I will go meet him!"
Having said that, Yun Zheng immediately led dozens of guards to the front of the battle.
When passing by Chen Luoyan's formation, Miaoyin, who had gone to chat with Chen Luoyan, also followed.
Yun Zheng and Lou Yi met again at the same place as a few days ago, at about the same distance.
However, Lou Yi’s mentality at this moment is completely different from before.
"Lou Yi, the king is here! Tell me, what do you want to say?"
Yun Zheng smiled and asked loudly to Lou Yi who was not far away.
"Didn't you say you were going to attack? Why aren't you attacking yet?"
Lou Yi responded to Yun Zheng, "You are almost wearing out my patience. If you don't attack, I won't be patient with you any longer!"
"That's it?"
Yun Zheng smiled disappointedly, "I thought you were going to surrender!"
"surrender?"
Lou Yi sneered, "If I surrender, will you let me and Dayue go? If I surrender, I'm afraid Dayue will follow in Qiu Chi's footsteps, right?"
Yun Zheng raised his lips and answered with interest: "You can tell me the conditions for your surrender. As long as I can meet them, I will try my best to meet them!"
"Try to satisfy?"
Lou Yi snorted coldly: "You say that now, but after we surrender, I'm afraid you will put on a different face, right?"
Listening to Lou Yi's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, "Lou Yi, Lou Yi, this person, is a little clever, but he doesn't have great wisdom!"
"oh?"
Lou Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you mean?"
"Aren't you just trying to delay time?"
Yun Zheng stared at Lou Yi with a smile on his face. "If you feel that time is not enough, I can give you one more day to slowly move the food and grass to the city wall! What do you think?"
Before Lou Yi sent someone to make a call, the secret sentry discovered through his clairvoyance that the soldiers of Dayue were carrying bags of grain onto the city wall.
Combined with the fact that Lou Yi suddenly talked to him about surrender, it was not difficult to guess Lou Yi's purpose.
As Yun Zheng's voice fell, Lou Yi's heart suddenly twitched.
Yun Zheng saw through his purpose!
Damn it!
He also wanted to delay the time as much as possible so that the soldiers could carry more food and grass onto the city wall.
Their city walls were segmented, allowing flood water to pass through one section.
In this way, many city walls should not be destroyed.
Even if the traps were destroyed, as long as they had enough food and grass, they could still rely on the city walls to defend themselves.
Although the defensive effect will definitely not be as good as before, it is worse than being caught in a dilemma.
Even if they could consume a little more of Yun Zheng's troops, their chances of winning would be greater.
However, he did not expect that Yun Zheng actually saw through his purpose.
Moreover, it seemed that they were not afraid at all that he would carry the food and fodder onto the city walls.
"Lou Yi, you are also a leader, how can you be so naive?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, continuing to attack Lou Yi, "Even if I ask you to move the food to the city wall, what can you do? There are three fatal problems, how do you solve them?"
The fatal problem?
What are the three fatal problems?
Does Yun Zheng have any backup plan?
Lou Yi frowned and pretended to be calm, "Just tell me!"
"In the past, I taught you how to build a city for defense. Today, I will teach you how to see the situation clearly!"
Yun Zheng looked at Lou Yi jokingly and said loudly: "First, there is horse manure everywhere. Once the flood comes, your water source will become sewage. How are you going to solve the water source problem?"
"Second, even though the ice and snow have melted, it's still terribly cold at night. Your soldiers are lying on the city wall without even a straw nest. How many nights can they survive?"
“Third, when the flood comes, your firewood will be wet or washed away. What will you use to cook?”
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Lou Yi's heart ached again.
Three fatal problems!
yes!
Three fatal problems!
Every question is fatal!
He was anxious and only thought about preserving the food and continuing the defense, and didn't think about these things at all.
At this moment, Yun Zheng helped him to put forward all the ideas, which instantly made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.
The chill spread throughout his body, making him shiver uncontrollably.
No wonder Yun Zheng was not afraid of delaying time at all. It turned out that he had already understood everything.
He just deliberately cooperated with me and pretended to discuss the topic of surrender with me, but he was just playing a trick on me!
Suddenly, Lou Yi felt like a monkey in the hands of a monkey trainer.
Seeing Lou Yi remained silent, Yun Zheng smiled again, "I know you are unwilling to accept your defeat. How about this? You leave all the food and supplies behind, and I will let half of your people go, so that you can re-arrange the defense in Turtleback City. How do you think?"
"dream!"
Lou Yi refused without a second thought, "Even if I burn all the food and grass, I won't leave any for you!"
Damn Yun Zheng!
That sounds nice!
If you don’t know, you would think that Yun Zheng is very generous!
In fact, they just wanted to take down their painstakingly built defensive positions without spending a single soldier, obtain their food and grass, and capture half of their elite troops!
If I really agreed, what would be the difference between that and surrendering?
"Have you thought it through?"
Yun Zheng stared at Lou Yi coldly, "If you don't agree, I will order the people to breach the dam and release the water in one day at most! By then, not only will you lose your food and fodder, you won't be able to save your people either!"
"not necessarily!"
Lou Yi clenched his fist tightly and shouted through gritted teeth: "Even if we are completely wiped out, we will tear a piece of flesh from you! It is simply a foolish dream to expect us to surrender without a fight!"
"Since you are still stubborn, then wait for death!"
Yun Zheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with Lou Yi anymore. He waved his hand and told everyone to leave.
Lou Yi looked at Yun Zheng's back with a ferocious face.
For a moment, he really wanted to rush over regardless of everything.
He didn't care even if he died together with Yun Zheng.
However, seeing the guards around Yun Zheng who were almost armed to the teeth, he finally suppressed the crazy thoughts in his mind.
"Your Highness, we can't hold this place anymore!"
The commander of the Royal Guards looked at Lou Yi with a complicated expression, "Your Highness is related to the safety of Dayue, and you must not let him get away! Please leave this place as soon as possible!"
leave?
Lou Yi was filled with grief and anger.
He could leave with his guards.
But how can the 20,000 defenders here leave?
What about their food and supplies?
The painstakingly constructed defensive positions, the food obtained through extortion, and the well-trained 20,000 elite soldiers...
Have they all given up?
Not reconciled!
He is unwilling to accept this!
He never thought that he was worse than Yun Zheng.
But Yun Zheng only used a little trick to make all his efforts a joke.
no!
Can't give up!
Never give up!
Not lost!
They haven't lost yet!
As he was thinking, a crazy idea came into Lou Yi's mind again...
