Chapter 2848: Arrogant Soldiers Will Be Defeaten
"What?"
Monk, who was sitting in the big tent, was originally resting with his eyes closed and listening to the scouts he sent out to report the situation at the front. When he heard that the three gates of Peking City had been opened and the people began to rush out of the city frantically, he opened his eyes.
"You said that the people of Beiping City fled?"
"yes."
"Before, all nine inner and outer gates were closed. Now, the inner nine gates are open, and the outer city gate is also open?"
"yes."
"The common people leave, and the government doesn't care?"
The scout said, "It is said that a group of people left the Peking Imperial Palace early this morning and headed south."
"What?!"
This time, Monk even frowned.
He said, "You mean, the Emperor of Yan has also left Beiping City?"
"Judging from the news coming out of the city, this should be the case."
“…”
"Also, the common people all knew that the emperor was gone. It was said that people were completely demoralized and wanted to leave one after another. The government had no choice but to open the city gates and let them go."
“…”
"Now we can see that the soldiers defending the city have no desire to fight anymore."
Upon hearing this, the several generals who were originally standing in the big tent burst into laughter and said one after another: "Hahahaha, this is perfect. When they become a mess, we can attack."
"Sure enough, this time, attacking all nine gates at the same time to deter them is a good idea."
"Your Majesty, while they haven't yet managed to win over the people, we should send out our troops tonight and catch them off guard!"
"Yes, I will fight!"
"I will also fight!"
The generals around were extremely excited, and they couldn't wait to rush out of the tent and the barracks and lead their soldiers to attack Beiping City and kill to their heart's content. After all, they had lost the pleasure of roaming the Central Plains, burning, killing and looting over the years. Ever since Zhu Feng became the King of Yan, the iron hoofs of the Neng Kingdom rarely set foot in Beiping City.
Now is the perfect time to avenge our previous shame!
However, Munch was not as excited as they were.
On the contrary, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and an exceptionally calm light flashed in his eyes.
He also fell into deep thought -
Leaving the capital at this time?
He had been dealing with Zhu Feng for so many years, not to mention that the two had only met face to face once. He knew very well what kind of person Zhu Feng was. Not to mention that Yan Country was not at a disadvantage now, even if Beiping City was at a disadvantage and he was the only one left, he would not leave for refuge.
Of course, he shouldn't be awake yet.
The person in charge in the city is either his son or Si Nanyan.
I think it should be Si Nanyan.
Monk knew this woman well. Although she was a woman, she possessed a fortitude that many men could not match. After this incident, she immediately took over the government. As a woman in charge of the court, it was clear that this woman was more than he had previously imagined.
She's not one to back out of a fight either.
What's more, there are still some military generals in the city of Beiping.
The military generals all knew that deserting from the battlefield would have the greatest negative impact on military morale. Once they left, Beiping City, which could originally still be fought for, would now basically be opening the door to thieves.
So, would these generals agree to let them leave the capital so easily?
Monk thought for a while and then looked up. The generals were still clamoring to go to war. He waved his hand to stop their clamor.
He asked calmly, "Have you found out about the team that left the capital? Are they Zhu Feng and his men?"
The scout replied, "It was too dark when they left the city, and the carriages were covered with thick curtains that were never opened, so—"
"So, you didn't see who was inside?"
"yes."
"What's the formation of the team?"
"It looks like there are at least a thousand men and horses, firmly guarding the carriages in the center, making it difficult for our men to get close."
"oh……"
Monk raised his eyebrows slightly.
He thought for a long time, sneered, and said, "It seems that even if Zhu Feng hasn't woken up, they are not stupid."
Several scouts knelt before him, not daring to speak. The generals accompanying him were initially puzzled as to why he had asked so many questions but still remained silent about the battle. Upon hearing this, they were all a little surprised and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think they're plotting a trick?"
Meng Ke said coldly: "At this time, I absolutely do not believe that Si Nanyan will really leave the capital to seek refuge."
“…”
"This is basically exposing their weaknesses to us. If nothing else, their departure will cause panic in the city, and even the remaining defenders will lose their will to fight. She can't be unaware of this."
“…”
"I know, if you still do this, there is only one possibility."
"What is it?"
"She needs to do this to achieve the ultimate effect."
"What was the final effect?"
Several generals looked at each other and said, "Wouldn't the ultimate result be that the people in the city would be in chaos and the soldiers defending the city would lose their will to fight?"
Monk said coldly: "This result is only theirs."
"Theirs?"
"You might as well think about it again. What does this result bring us?"
“…”
Several generals looked at each other.
Monk sneered and said, "The result for us is that all of you were just blinded by the opponent's show of weakness and wanted to fight."
“…”
"Pride comes before a fall. Haven't you learned this saying?"
Several generals immediately stopped talking.
There were no military books in the country of Neng. For the nomadic people on the grassland, their way of fighting was to charge and kill, and to vent their brutality in blood and brutality.
However, Munch is different from these people.
He looks like a romantic young man. At the same time, he is also one of the few people in the royal family of the Neng Kingdom who is diligent in studying the Central Plains culture. He is familiar with poetry, songs, military books and laws.
Therefore, the four words "arrogant soldiers will surely be defeated" emerged vaguely in his mind as soon as he learned about the situation in the city of Peking.
The other party wants to make them "arrogant" and eventually get the result of "defeat"!
The generals were silent for a moment. One of them, General Bars, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, so we won't fight? This battle is the opportunity we've been waiting for for a long time."
The natural curve at the corner of Monk's mouth now showed a coldness again.
He sneered and said, "Fight, how can I not fight?"
“…”
"Since the other side has shown weakness, if we don't fight, wouldn't that be a waste of their 'good intentions'?"
