The Three Kingdoms

"Commander-in-Chief, give me three days, and I will definitely be able to take this city!" Zang Ba's voice was abrupt, breaking the silence in the camp.

"In three days, can you break through this city?"

He Qi turned his head, looked at Zang Ba, and said with a sneer.

"can!"

Facing He Qi's sharp gaze, Zang Ba gritted his teeth and answered.

"Then how many casualties are you going to pay?" He Qi's voice became calmer.

"This?" Zang Ba hesitated a bit, unable to say anything.

There are as many as 50 defenders in the city. Although most of them are young and strong and civilian men, even old and weak, their combat effectiveness is very low, but there are too many ants and they can kill elephants. The general situation in the city, once the bloody battle starts, the casualties Wu Jun will have to pay will definitely be tragic.

"Commander-in-chief, in order to pull out this nail and complete the strategy of joining forces, we still have to pay for the casualties!" Huang Gai said in a mature and deep voice.

The city of Lyon is a nail.

If they go south regardless, once they send troops here, they will be hard to defend.

This battle, they must fight.

"I know!"

He Qi turned his head, looked at the battle map, and carefully studied the lines on the battle map: "The casualties must be paid, but...whose casualties are paid?"

"What does the commander-in-chief mean?" Zang Ba's eyes lit up.

"What's the weather like outside?"

"Report to Commander, it's raining!"

"Spring rain?"

"Ok!"

"Although the spring rain is not heavy, it is very long. If it can last for three days, maybe we can have another way to break through the city without destroying it!" He Qi said.

"What way?" The generals suddenly became a little excited.

"Do you still remember the Battle of Runan when our Wu army conquered Cao Wei on the Central Plains battlefield?"

He Qi's eyes were dim, and there was a brutal chill on his face.

"Flooded Runan?"

When the generals heard this, their pupils suddenly shrank.

That battle back then was considered to be the most frustrated battle since the establishment of the Wu Army. For this reason, the leader of the military aircraft and the commander of the army were all dismissed, shaking the government and the public, and everyone in the army knew about it.

"The city of Lyon has a dangerous terrain, but it also has disadvantages. It is surrounded by these two rivers. I have sent people to survey the two rivers here. The winter will freeze, but the ice has begun to melt since January. The water level has been rising continuously in the past two months, if such a spring rain is added, the water level will inevitably become too high, and then..."

He Qi said this, but didn't continue, but everyone understood what he meant.

At this moment, everyone became silent, and there was no sound in the camp. They could only hear the sound of dripping water droplets hitting the tent and the ground outside the tent.

[The first thousand and 490 chapters of the eighth chapter of the western meeting continued four]

In the camp, there was silence, and the drop of a needle could be heard.

General Wu Junzhong now faces a choice.

A difficult choice between reason and humanity.

In fact, the thoughts of the generals of the Wu army are not all derived from the thoughts of the entire era. As the saying goes, the thoughts of a general will always influence the thoughts of most of the soldiers below.

Because of the unique thinking of the emperor Sun Quan, many generals in the Wu army have a concept that war is a matter for soldiers and has nothing to do with the people.

But sometimes, war is brutal.

Hurting the innocent is also a helpless thing.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu, in order to gain an advantage in the Kwantung Battle between Cao Wei and Soochow, created a tragic Runan Battle, which caused most of Yuzhou to be covered by floods, and countless people were killed or injured. .

And now...

The Lyon terrain faced by the third war zone can also create a Runan war.

The city of Lyon is located in the middle of the confluence of the Rhone and Saône rivers. The upper reaches of the two rivers have sufficient water sources. Once a dam is built upstream to store water, within three days, the entire city of Lyon will inevitably be flooded.

But in this way, the casualties are not the young and strong troops conscripted by the Gaul province, but more the many people in the city of Lyon, the political center of the Gaul province. There are many people here, nearly a million. A flood would even turn this place into a tragic no-man's land.

He Qi glanced over indifferently, his face was very calm, but his fists were also clenched unconsciously. This proposal was made by him, but he didn't dare to make this decision.

The generals of the Wu army fought for honor and meritorious deeds, and they were not butchers who were naturally cruel.

On the battlefield, they can sacrifice their lives and kill decisively, but they are a little bit helpless in the face of those people who are powerless, even if they are only the people of Rome.

After all, people are people, not animals.

"One will succeed and ten thousand bones will die!"

Huang Gai stood up suddenly, and his firm voice echoed in the camp: "On the battlefield, there is no room for mercy. If we don't want to waste our troops here, we must use thunderbolt methods. Even if this place turns into hell, I will not I am willing to let the soldiers under my command fight with their lives, and I agree with the commander-in-chief's strategy!"

"It's better for them to die than for us to die. If the fight continues, at least one hundred thousand sons' lives will be spent to conquer this place!"

Zang Ba also spoke. He gritted his teeth and cupped his hands: "Commander-in-Chief, I am willing to build dams and store water myself!"

Sometimes it is also a skill to take the blame.

Zang Ba was a surrendered general, and he was able to gain a firm foothold in the Wu army, more because of He Qi's respect. Now that He Qi is going to hand over the Flame Legion under his command to him, this is a kind of kindness.

In this era, many military generals have a kind of soldier who dies for his confidant, so he is willing to bear this eternal infamy for He Qi.

Once he built a dam to store water and flooded Lyon, his name will be engraved on the shame book of the city of Lyon for generations, and he will bear the name of a ruthless butcher who killed God forever and ever.

"Zang Ba, have you thought it through?" He Qi sighed and said softly.

This is not a good idea.

But now this is the only way to directly destroy the entire city of Lyon without any effort.

"The last general has already thought about it very clearly." Zang Ba was very firm.

"then you go!"

There was a gleam of light in He Qi's eyes: "If this battle is successful, no matter what the superiors think, I, He Qi, will not disappoint your trust!"
