"I estimate that millions of people will die to stop this." General Wang estimated.
"Wrong, let me tell you," Zhang Yi said, "Every time there was a great chaos in China, seventy-eight out of ten people were lost. Now there are 30 million people in China. After the war is over, only a few of them will survive."
There are only a few million people at most. War, famine and disease will come together, putting our nation in danger of extinction again. I am not opposed to the reunification of China, I just want to tell you that the road to unification by force is destroying China!
"
General Wang was stunned. It turned out that this was what Zhang Yi thought. Few people pointed this out clearly. Even King Liu Kai might not have thought of it.
He was speechless and turned his horse around to report to General Liu Guangda.
After Zhang Yi said this, his heart was filled with turmoil. He did not expect people in this world to understand what he said. After all, their memories were broken and they did not understand the history of China.
But he knows.
If Zhang Yi let go, he could open the two gates of Wanchun Village and Xikou Village, let the people from Greater China and Little China rush in, and let the Three Kingdoms fight bloody battles. But he held on to Mopan City, and the fishermen benefited in the end.
Just like that, the Three Kingdoms will fight fiercely and continuously increase their troops, eventually leading to millions of casualties. Driven by hatred, the fighting will spread to the entire China, and then young people and old men will be forced to the battlefield, and a generation will be destroyed by the war.
It will take decades to recover.
Even if Zhang Yi took advantage of the chaos to unify China, it would be meaningless. The most terrifying thing is that foreign nations took the opportunity to invade, and the weak and empty China was unable to resist it, and in the end the whole nation was exterminated.
It's not that Zhang Yi is overthinking, this is the correct conclusion he came to after thinking about it.
He originally wanted to say these words to the heads of state of the three countries, but he never found a suitable opportunity.
…
Zhang Yi put away his thoughts and looked into the distance. He saw General Wang talking to the general. He seemed to be repeating Zhang Yi's words. The general's face was livid and he stared at Zhang Yi fiercely. After all, he was just a warrior.
All he thinks about is war and conquest.
The general interrupted General Wang's words and drew his sword and pointed it at Zhang Yi.
The trumpets sounded, the war drums beat, and the Northwest Wolf Army launched a new round of fierce attack.
This time, relying on their strength in numbers, they launched an all-out attack.
In terms of the defensive strength of Mopan City, it is simply impossible to withstand it.
A man ran over and handed Zhang Yi a torch.
He put on his war helmet, only showing his eyes, and countless arrows passed by him. The enemy's archers did not target him, the purpose was to suppress our warriors. Even so, arrows continued to hit him.
The bullet fell to the ground on his armor.
The enemies were very surprised. It was afternoon, and although the sun was blocked by dark clouds, it was still very bright. What was Zhang Yi doing standing by the trench alone with a torch?
Are you scared out of your wits?
No, Zhang Yi is not stupid, he wants to give the enemy some color.
He raised the torch high, warned the densely packed soldiers on the other side of the trench, and then threw it into the trench.
In an instant, a fire broke out.
If the enemy thinks this is just an ordinary trench, they are wrong.
Dead wood and waste plastics were piled inside, and animal fats and tar produced during coal smelting were dumped underneath, which would ignite when exposed to fire.
In the blink of an eye, a fire dragon sprang up and shuttled quickly along the trench. Like a ring of fire, it burned blazingly around Mopan City. The enemy fled in a hurry. The soldiers who had just rushed through the trench turned around and retreated. If they ran a step slower, they would be dead.
.
The ladder set up on the trench was caught on fire before it could be moved back. The fire was a foot high and emitted suffocating black smoke.
Our personnel were well prepared and used wet towels to block their mouths and noses. However, the enemy coughed violently in the diffuse smoke and could hardly breathe, so he had to bend over and flee away.
General Liu Guangda almost fainted from choking, holding his breath and ran half a mile away.
They threw away their helmets and shields and became a mess.
At this time, Zhang Yi returned to Mopan City, stood on the steps behind the stone wall, looked around with a telescope, and couldn't help but smile when he saw the embarrassment of the Northwest Wolf Army.
The fire can burn for almost half a day.
Xiaolong ran over on horseback and discussed the next plan with Zhang Yi. The two agreed that they needed to retreat to the back of the second trench. There were so many enemies that one person could fill up the trench by throwing a stone.
So the warriors retreated and carried the collected arrows in bundles behind the second protective wall. After completing the preparations for the battle, the fire had just been reduced by half. The women's army brought water and food, and everyone started eating, drinking, talking and laughing.
Zhang Yi returned to the camp and discussed the enemy's situation with the leaders while eating dry food. Xiaolong, Niu Ben, Zhou Rui, Song Laohei and dozens of other leaders attended the meeting.
Zhang Yi reminded everyone not to be careless, as a cruel battle is still to come. The enemy wants to take down Mopan City in one go. After experiencing the power of the first wave of defense, they will calm down and launch a serious siege.
Everyone must stick to their position and abide by the rules of engagement. During combat, both sides can fight to the death, but during a truce, they cannot insult or attack each other. Those who have lost the ability to fight must be allowed to evacuate the battlefield.
"We are not bandits, but soldiers of justice," Zhang Yi said. "We should not only let the other side learn our courage and strength, but also let them know that we are upright soldiers. This is particularly important."
There are some words that Zhang Yi doesn't want to say clearly. There is nothing more important than winning the respect of the other party on the battlefield. In that case, even if Mopan City unfortunately falls, the enemy will not launch a devastating massacre, which will be a huge blow to women and children. kind of protection.
Many leaders who were former bandits did not understand, but they worshiped Zhang Yi to the point of being prostrate to the leader who could defeat the 50,000-strong Chinese army in a fierce battle for three days and three nights. Every word he said must be reasonable, so they all followed his orders.
This is called the power of authority.
In fact, Zhang Yi's performance has surpassed that of the overlord General Cao, and his ideological level has surpassed this era, but others are not aware of it for the time being.
He is not a warrior who fights for the sake of fighting, but the founder of a new civilization.
"Brother Yi, the Northwest Wolf Army is about to launch an attack!"
A warrior ran into the tent, saluted and reported.
Zhang Yi stood up calmly and said loudly: "According to the deployment, the brave are not allowed to advance alone, and the timid are not allowed to retreat alone. Follow the orders and strictly guard the position! Everyone, we are invincible. No enemy can even think of stepping into the millstone. One step closer to the city!"
"We are invincible, no enemy can even think of setting foot in Mopan City!"
Dozens of leaders stood up in excitement, all excited, drew their swords and shouted an oath.
Then everyone rushed out of the camp and rode straight to their respective positions. Everyone was firm and calm, and looked forward to death.
Soon the same words echoed across the battlefield, like thunder.
"We are invincible, no enemy can even think of setting foot in Mopan City!"
