Chapter 377 Break down to zero!
Chapter 377 Break down to zero!
On top of the city wall.
Song Yuan stood alone with his hands behind his back, looking at the bleak scene in the distance, frowning.
It’s like the person standing at the front in the torrent and resisting the Tianding!
Now, deep winter is over.
But the cold wind blowing on the face is still like a knife, bringing waves of bone-chilling cold.
In such an environment, Song Yuan felt that his mind became clearer.
At this moment, he suddenly understood Luo Jia's previous feelings.
Coldness can help people think!
Looking at the barbarian camp in the distance, which was busy like barbarians, Song Yuan's eyes were deep.
It seemed as if the cold winter around him could help him merge his thoughts with that barbarian princess's.
"It's been so long, and you still haven't thought of a suitable solution?"
A beautiful voice suddenly sounded from behind, and Jinlian, with a gentle expression on her face, had already arrived on the city wall.
From Situ Jing, Jinlian learned about Song Yuan's current predicament.
At this moment, my dedication is somewhat meant to help others overcome difficulties!
"That woman is indeed a big trouble! It's a pity that I didn't kill her back then." Song Yuantou sighed without even turning his head.
Jinlian behind him suddenly took a step forward and stood side by side with Song Yuan. She turned her head and looked at Song Yuan with her big eyes, and said softly: "At this time, you may need to listen to other people's opinions. Maybe just unintentional words can bring you some inspiration!"
"So, you have some ideas?" Song Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Jinlian with a hint of surprise.
Jinlian shook her head. "Stop laughing at me! How can you count on me for a problem you can't even solve? But I do have some unformed opinions on this matter!"
"I was just wondering if speaking out loud could give you some inspiration."
"Then just say it!" Sensing Jinlian's sincerity, Song Yuan narrowed his eyes with a hint of interest and urged her.
Jinlian finally smiled and turned to look at the barbarian tent with a deep gaze: "I just think that you might have been right before, but at this point, because you are too focused, you have inadvertently fallen into a misunderstanding!"
"What you should be considering now is not whether the thing in front of you is a trap, but another question."
"What do you mean?" Song Yuan asked puzzledly.
Jinlian turned around and warned, "You're taking things for granted. Why do you think that after burning the camps, the barbarians in the north will definitely retreat?"
"If they insist on fighting head-on, we'll end up in a stalemate!"
"So what you should be thinking about is, in this worst-case scenario, how long can we use up the food and fodder we have?"
As soon as these words came out, Song Yuan frowned.
Just as Jinlian said, inspiration burst out in his mind at this moment, and ideas popped up one after another.
That’s right, just as Jinlian worried!
The food and supplies he had were already running out today.
Although there are horses to consume, eating raw horse meat is not the right thing to do in the absence of firewood!
More importantly, the catapults in the hands of the barbarians are about to rush to the battlefield.
With such a powerful weapon, what does it matter even if you risk freezing to death or starving to death?
The barbarians will definitely bite the bullet and fight to the death with everyone!
Even if the tents are gone, even if there is not enough food, there is a high probability that the enemy will not retreat.
After all, that princess had clashed with Song Yuan more than once.
Now that we finally have the opportunity, how can we let the battle in front of us go to waste?
"Honestly, you understand the battlefield better than I do, but there's one thing you're not as good as me in: you don't understand women as well as I do!"
Just as Song Yuan was lost in thought, Jin Lian added, "You underestimate a woman's heart and her hatred. If it were me, I would never retreat unless I died tragically on the battlefield or only one soldier was left!"
"If you can even consider killing war horses to fill your stomach, why can't I consider the same? Besides, there are many more trees in the wild than in our city. At worst, we can just chop down some trees for warmth. In any case, we will fight to the end!"
"As long as I can trap you to death, I will resolutely not retreat. A woman's hatred is deep-rooted. Under the influence of this mentality, she can do anything, so you must be prepared!"
Jinlian has only one meaning.
The barbarian princess persisted to the end and was likely to obey a single word.
Consumption!
What if you injure me severely?
As long as I still have people, I will fight you to the end!
To be honest, even if Song Yuan's plan to burn down the camps was successful and the barbarians' tents and food were affected, the barbarians still had the advantage over him in terms of outdoor conditions.
They have an inexhaustible supply of trees. Even if they hold on, they can obviously hold out longer than the people of the Qin Dynasty!
And the most important thing is that the number of barbarians is far greater than that of the Qin Dynasty!
Even if the entire camp is burned down, it can still cause the enemy to suffer huge losses.
Even if 20,000 men died in battle, their combined numbers would still crush the Qin army.
As long as the enemy fights to the death, it will suffer a great loss in the end, and it is possible that it will be the Qin Dynasty!
A temporary victory cannot affect the final outcome at all. This is the madness of women!
After hearing Jinlian's heart-wrenching words, Song Yuan suddenly thought of what the woman in front of him had done before.
A weak woman like Jinlian, who was alone, dared to come up with such a bold idea of assassinating the emperor for the sake of family hatred and national hatred.
How crazy would that barbarian princess be?
Think about it yourself, when it comes to cruelty, the Barbarian Princess's previous actions have already proved it.
Slaughtering war horses to satisfy hunger, this method was first used by the barbarian princess!
These details alone are enough to prove that Luo Jia is definitely the most ruthless of the ruthless!
Song Yuan put himself in the other person's shoes and thought about it. If he were in the situation and had only one chance, he would never give up the great opportunity in front of him, regardless of the cost.
I will definitely choose to fight to the end, and the Qin Dynasty will ultimately be unable to break the siege!
Thinking of this, Song Yuan's body trembled, and a bit more understanding appeared in his eyes.
Just as Jinlian said, she had been a little too obsessed with it before.
The direction in which I was thinking about the problem was wrong from the beginning!
I have been planning before. Is it worth it to let two thousand people die?
But now, what we should really consider is what actions the barbarians will take after the plan succeeds?
If it were any normal person, Song Yuan would have the confidence to force the other party to retreat.
But if the opponent this time was Luo Jia, Song Yuan would only feel that his original thoughts became even more profound.
"Does what I said make you feel even more confused?" Jinlian noticed Song Yuan's conflicted expression and asked with some concern.
Song Yuan smiled bitterly: "It did have some impact, but it did serve as a reminder to me. I was too one-sided in my thinking before. Now, we have to be on guard against any unexpected changes!"
A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.
Song Yuan only felt that the situation before him had become more complicated.
However, Song Yuan knew in his heart that the concerns that Jinlian had expressed before would most likely become a reality in the end.
If the other party hadn't reminded me, I might not have thought of this!
Faced with such a difficult problem, Song Yuan couldn't help but raise his head and glance at the barbarians' tents again.
In an instant, I felt a flash of inspiration in my mind.
The next second, an excited expression appeared on Song Yuan's face. Without saying a word, he directly grabbed Jinlian's hand.
"Come on, let's go to the south with me!"
Noticing the change in Song Yuan's mood, Jinlian's face suddenly showed a hint of joy. Without any refusal, she hurriedly followed Song Yuan to the top of the south city wall.
Seeing Song Yuan frowning, his eyes suddenly widened and he shouted an order to the commander behind him: "Call everyone here and notify General Murong to gather here!"
"Have you come up with any good idea?" Jinlian's eyes lit up and she asked immediately.
Song Yuan kept the topic in suspense: "Don't worry, whether this method will work or not, we have to wait until General Murong and the others arrive. Let me ask a few questions first!"
When these words were spoken, Jinlian felt confused, but when she thought of the change in Song Yuan's mentality, she felt relieved for a moment.
As long as Song Yuan is not as deep as before, I, as his wife, will have fulfilled my responsibilities.
As for what will happen next, will we be able to escape from this predicament?
What does it matter?
Being able to be with the one you love, even if we die together, is a life without regrets.
What's more, everyone may not lose!
Jinlian believed that Song Yuan would be able to lead everyone to break through the siege and find a way to survive!
After a while, while Jinlian was waiting expectantly, Murong Lie and others finally hurried over.
"Has anyone of you been to Sanbian City before? Does anyone know the environment around here?" The moment he saw this kind of person, Song Yuan immediately asked.
A simple and honest voice sounded in the crowd.
"I, General Pang Tong, have spent several years in these three border cities. Netizens, please feel free to ask me anything. I should be able to answer them!"
"Then let me ask you, besides this road in the south, are there any other paths that can lead to the Peacock River? Even if it's a little narrow, it doesn't matter!" Song Yuan asked with clenched fists.
Pang Tong hesitated for a moment and gave an answer: "In order to fish, we spent a lot of effort to dig a small path in the east, which can lead directly to the Peacock River."
"But this road is extremely narrow. It was originally only used to reach the depths of the Peacock River, where there are relatively more fish. One person carrying a basket can barely walk!"
Carrying a basket?
Including the shoulder pole, the diameter of this path may be no more than two meters.
It's a bit too narrow to accommodate a horse!
Thinking of this, Song Yuan frowned and pondered.
According to his plan, a full two thousand people would use this path to go around the enemy army from behind. If they were all cavalry, this path might not be able to accommodate them.
It takes too much time!
But if infantry were added, everyone's speed would be affected. In order to find that balance point, Song Yuan closed his eyes and fell into silence.
"Brother, you don't want to send people to attack the enemy from behind through that small path?" Seeing that Song Yuan didn't say anything for a long time, Wei Da became impatient again and asked immediately.
Song Yuan didn't hide anything this time and nodded immediately: "That's right! The ice on the river is still strong enough to accommodate horses. If the barbarians can surprise attack our grain transport team through the ice, why can't we surprise attack the Southern Yi troops guarding the riverbed now?"
"But our numbers may not be enough to support it!"
Hearing Song Yuan's brilliant idea, Murong Lie immediately expressed his worries: "There are many troops in the south. If we want to cause them any losses, even if it is a surprise attack, we will need at least two thousand cavalry!"
"Your Highness, don't forget that this city has a wide field of vision. As long as our people leave the city, even if it's just one soldier, they will probably be in the enemy's sight!"
As the barbarian positions moved forward, the distance between the two sides had been widened to a certain extent.
At a glance, you can see the entire scenery around the city wall.
In this situation, how could Song Yuan avoid the other party's sight?
How to get two thousand troops to go around to the east?
If this kind of thing is discovered by others, all the previous efforts will be wasted. I am afraid that before everyone can achieve their wish, they will be blocked by the barbarians!
"No!"
"I have a solution!"
"Not only can I get our men behind those southern armies without anyone noticing, but I can also make that barbarian princess pay a heavy price for her pride!"
Sensing Murong Lie's worry, Song Yuan clenched his fists tightly, and spoke confidently with some excitement!
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
At this point, everyone has already realized Song Yuan's idea!
Not only did he want to go around the enemy and launch a surprise attack, he even wanted to take this opportunity to continue his previous plan!
Then set fire to the camp!
How is it possible that two strategies can be carried out at the same time?
"Your Highness, why don't you tell me what your idea is first!" Murong Lie asked with a deep look in his eyes, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart.
Only then did Song Yuan utter four words.
"Break it into pieces!"
