Chen Youliang was in his own tent, looking at the battle report in his hands in frustration.
Attacking a city was a very troublesome matter. They had been attacking for an entire day, but the result was a little numb.
The losses for this day were astronomical!
The other side only had 20,000 soldiers, but they were still fighting.
He didn't gain any advantage at all, and he was even in such a sorry state!
Did Chen Youliang and the others suffer losses in this aspect?
Furthermore, it was in the hands of a puny little General of Hongdu?
Just as he was feeling resentful, a voice suddenly came from outside the tent."Your Majesty, I have a plan to break through the city and have come to offer it!”
When Chen Youliang heard this, he could not help but say,"Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the general sneaked in.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan that will definitely break through Hongdu City!"”
Chen Youliang rolled his eyes at him.”
If he had a plan, why didn't he use it earlier?
After being schemed against so many times, he finally had a brain and thought of a plan?
"Your Majesty, we only need to gather a few thousand men and pretend to surrender to Hongdu. Just say that we have run out of rations and have nothing to eat.”
"If Hong Du gave them a bite to eat, he could totally help them defend the city. When they attacked the city tomorrow, they would take advantage of the chaos to open the city gates.”
At this point, the general chuckled.
Chen Youliang was also very clear.
They could open the city gates during the chaos and welcome the army into the country!
At that time, why would he worry about Hongdu not breaking?
Chen Youliang laughed out loud and said with great relief,""Good! Good plan!"
At the thought of taking down Hongdu, Chen Youliang's mood was like riding a roller coaster.
He was still gloomy just now, but now he was very excited!
Brains!
This is my general!
Chen Youliang patted the general's shoulder and said,""Not a bad idea. I'll leave it to you to prepare. Tell me, how many people are you bringing?"
Since he could come up with a plan, he had to test if this kid had the ability.
When the general heard this, he could not help but be ecstatic.
If the fake surrender succeeded!
Attacking Hongdu was already a great merit!
"Your Majesty, we can't have too few or too many people in this fake surrender team," the general said ecstatically.”
With fewer people, the opposite party felt that it was unnecessary.
More people?
Instead, the other party would be wary and might not even believe it.
Chen Youliang nodded and said with a gratified expression,""That's right. Then take 4,000 people with you. I'll leave everything to you. After you succeed, you can act on your own!”
The general cupped his hands excitedly and retreated to prepare.
Chen Youliang looked at his retreating figure and could not help but grin.
He didn't expect his general to be so smart.
If he succeeded in pretending to surrender, he would definitely chop off Zhu Wenzheng's head with his own hands!
He wanted to vent his anger and take revenge!
……
On the walls of Hongdu.
Zhu Wenzheng was prepared to prevent Chen Youliang's sneak attack.
Suddenly, a bodyguard ran over and said,""Marshal, there are about four thousand soldiers outside the city gates.”
Hearing this, Zhu Wenzheng could not help but frown.
Surrender?
There were actually 4,000 people!
"They only said they wanted to surrender?" Zhu Wenzheng asked.”
If they were to surrender at this time, it would be highly suspicious.
If the other party pretended to surrender, then it would be terrible!
"Yes, they said that if you could give them a bite to eat, they would even be willing to defend the city for you."”
Hearing this, Zhu Wenzheng could not help but sneer.
Defend the city?
Even if Hongdu's military strength was scarce, he would not use the soldiers that surrendered.
If the enemy pretended to surrender, how should they deal with it?
"Lead the way. I'll go take a look."
Zhu Wenzheng said.
The trusted soldiers led the way, and Zhu Wenzheng also arrived at the city gate.
Looking at the black mass of people below, he could not help but say loudly,"Are you going to surrender to Hongdu?”
Chen Youliang's general hurriedly replied,"General, Chen Youliang has no rations. We haven't eaten for a day."”
"I hope you can be kind and take us in. If you can provide us with food, we are willing to defend the city for you in return!”
His voice was not loud and sounded very weak.
He indeed looked like he had been starving for a day and lacked energy.
Zhu Wenzheng, who was on the city wall, raised his eyebrows and sneered,"You're willing to work for me just because you have a bite?”
The general said loudly,"As long as you give me something to eat, I will repay you with a fountain!"”
Hearing this, Zhu Wenzheng could not help but sneer.
"Alright, put down your weapons and I'll open the door to let you in."”
Hearing this, the people below could not help but be ecstatic.
"We'll put down our weapons now. Please open the city gates quickly!"”
Weapons were not important to them.
He pretended to surrender and brought weapons just in case.
Since the other party wanted to take them in, it was a good thing.
Their plan would be completed!
How could Zhu Wenzheng not give them weapons and equipment?
The general was happy that he could complete the mission.
On the city wall, Zhu Wenzheng sneered and said,""Ambush a team of people at the city gate. After they enter the city, close the door and kill them all!”
The other generals looked at Zhu Wenzheng in shock.
"Commander, aren't we supposed to accept their surrender?" A general asked in confusion.”
"Marshal, killing prisoners is an ominous sign!”
"Marshal, we're going to kill them all, leaving no one alive?”
Looking at the shocked generals, Zhu Wenzheng could not help but sneer."These people are mostly spies. When the city gates are opened, what should we do?”
Everyone looked at each other.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"Even if they aren't spies, can they defend the city?" Zhu Wenzheng asked. Are you guys at ease?"
"At the critical moment, with or without them guarding the city, the outcome will not be affected.”
"On the contrary, aren't you afraid that people who want to betray us without eating a meal will betray us?”
"We have been ordered to defend Hongdu to the death. If something goes wrong, how can we face our superiors?”
Zhu Wenzheng's words were sonorous and forceful, and every word was like thunder in his ears.
The generals also understood!
Defending Hongdu to the death was a responsibility to the higher-ups, a responsibility to the people of Hongdu, and a responsibility to themselves!
At such a critical moment, someone from the enemy suddenly surrendered.
Moreover, he even said that he should repay the kindness of a meal with a fountain.
No matter how he looked at it, it revealed a strange feeling.
One of the generals said with admiration,""As expected of the marshal, he's meticulous. If we were to do it, I'm afraid it would cause a huge disaster!”
"That's right, that's right. If it wasn't for marshal's cautiousness and agility, I'm afraid this Hongdu would have been broken!”
"Listening to the commander-in-chief's words is better than studying for ten years! I admire you!"
"I admire you!"
Zhu Wenzheng waved his hand and said,"Go down and prepare. Don't leave anyone alive!"”
"Yes, sir!"
