Chapter 91

Their eyes lit up.

The idea of using rice grains to represent cities is not bad.

Gao Tianlong even concluded that his grandson truly understands military strategy.

This brat is truly able to hide!

Lu Zhen couldn't sit still either. He was originally hot-tempered and immediately urged, "Brat, stop selling the secret."

"What do you want to do?"

Gao Yang spat out the lychee pit, and his finger drew a march route along the table, but it was not toward the city to be attacked, but straight toward these villages and small cities.

Gao Yang's confident voice rang out.

"If it were me, besieging a city is a last resort. I would first go along these villages and small cities."

"Attacking these villages and small cities won't cause many casualties to the soldiers."

Lu Zhen looked puzzled, "But what is the use of attacking these villages and small cities? These villagers have no power to truss a chicken, what is there to kill?"

Gao Yang shook his head, "Who said attacking these villages and small cities is to kill them?"

"I want to chase the Chu people in one direction. This direction is the big city I want to attack, and these people will subconsciously flee to the big city in the process of fleeing for their lives."

"Then for the defender, they will face a choice: whether to let these people into the city or not."

"Our army doesn't have a massive army pressing on the border, so most defenders will feel compassion, but once the city gate is opened, this is a disaster!"

"Because the granary in the city is fixed, the more people who come in, the more mouths there are in the city. As long as the supply of this city is cut off, the situation in the city will be very severe."

As soon as these words were spoken!

Lu Zhen's expression changed wildly, and he felt a wave of enlightenment!

His eyes flickered.

This method is ruthless!

Using these Chu people to increase the pressure of defending the city and consume the grain in the city, and isn't grain the most important thing for defending a city?

But he subconsciously said, "But what if the defender doesn't give grain to the people in the city?"

Gao Yang smiled and said, "If they give grain, the grain will decrease rapidly, but if they don't, riots will break out. When the people are hungry and can't stand it, they will definitely burn, kill, and loot. If they suppress it with force and swing their swords at their compatriots, the city will be filled with panic. If they don't suppress it, under the riots, it will be even more panic, and this is our army's opportunity!"

"It is best to break a few small cities that resisted fiercely before this, slaughter the city, and spread the fierce name first. Then when the city is in chaos, say: those who surrender will not be slaughtered, those who resist will be slaughtered!"

"This fear will spread throughout the city."

"Under the panic of the people, this city will definitely be broken!"

Hiss!

Accompanied by Gao Yang's confident voice falling, Lu Zhen and several old generals all changed their expressions.

Even Gao Tianlong was no exception.

This plan is too vicious.

But it is a real plan to punish the heart!

Once the defender has compassion, this is a disaster!

Because what Gao Yang said will definitely happen.

"But is slaughtering the city too cruel?" Qin Zhenguo said with some unbearable heart.

This child is too ruthless!

That is slaughtering the city!

This is not just the Living Yama of merchants, the Living Yama of locusts, the Living Yama of corrupt officials, now there is a faint trend of the Living Yama on the battlefield!

Gao Yang shook his head, his gaze indifferent: "Grandpa Qin, kindness to the enemy on the battlefield is cruelty to our army."

"If you want to take this city quickly, or even take a country, without a fierce name, where does the fear come from?"

For a time, Qin Zhenguo was silent.

"But what if the defender doesn't fall for it and refuses to open the city?" Lu Zhen continued to ask, his eyes staring straight at Gao Yang.

It was as if he had found the loophole in this plan!

Gao Yang smiled indifferently, "Then the defender is a famous general, a bit difficult to deal with, but Junior also has a way!"

"Our army drives the Chu people without killing them, but the Chu defenders reject their own people outside the city. The Chu people must be cold-hearted. We can completely sow discord, and then promise a big cake: those who climb the city wall first will be promoted three ranks, enter our Great Qian nationality, and enjoy wealth and glory."

"This will definitely move people!"

"In this way, the Chu people can be our army's vanguard, killing the Chu soldiers toward the city wall. After all, Chu abandoned them. They have a glimmer of life if they fight, and it doesn't matter if they don't fight. Our army is in the back and can completely use them as cannon fodder to consume the arrows and falling wood in the city, reducing our army's casualties!"
