Chapter 1128: Siege (7)
Because of the food crunch in Seoul, the whole city knew that if they did not break through the siege of the Dongjiang army, they would inevitably face a situation where there was no food available.
Chaos arose, and the city was in turmoil for a while, and it became more and more uncontrollable. After all, it was not only the people in the city who started the rebellion, but even the soldiers in the army also began to be dissatisfied.
Kim Hee-woong saw that the scene was about to get out of control, and had to go to find Dale.
Daller's face was gloomy, and he didn't expect such a violent reaction to things. After some contemplation, Dale said: "There can be no chaos in the city, and it must be suppressed by drastic means. ”
Kim Hee-woong's face was full of sadness: "Marshal, the use of coercive means will inevitably cause greater dissatisfaction among the officers and men in the army." Wouldn't that cause even more chaos? ”
Dale snorted coldly: "Most of the people who cause trouble are your people, and Ben Shuai doesn't care what means or methods you use." Anyway, give you three days, if after three days you still haven't let the mess settle down. That marshal will deal with it himself, and how many people will die at that time is incalculable. ”
This is clearly a threat, but Kim Hee-woong dares to be angry but does not dare to speak. Originally, I asked Dahler to ask him not to reduce the food so much, so as to ease the urgency of those soldiers. Then Kim Hee-woong knows it again and is emotional and reasonable, and the matter can be slowly resolved.
It's a pity that Dale didn't give in half a step, and Kim Hee-woong's only hope was immediately dashed. Now that he has been threatened by Dahler again, Kim Hee-woong wants to die. He didn't get any benefits, and now he himself is a commotion.
Leaving with his hand, Kim Hee-woong returned to his residence and immediately gathered all his henchmen to discuss how to deal with it. However, there is no solution to the food shortage, and no matter how much we negotiate, it will not help.
Kim Hee-woong was furious, and he had no choice but to use the forceful repression methods that Dahler had said. The generals in the army were very worried about this, but they did not dare to say more.
After the decision, Kim Hee-woong immediately ordered all his henchmen to go down to do things, and also demanded that they must put down the chaos in the city within three days.
The generals had no choice but to agree, and then they dispersed to run errands.
There was a great chaos in Seoul, and the Dongjiang Army outside got the news as soon as possible, and Kim Jong-ri was even more excited. He felt that this was a good time to attack the city, so after learning that there was chaos in the city, he immediately found Mao Wenlong and asked for troops to attack the city.
"General soldiers, don't miss the opportunity, the morale of the army in the city has been shaken, and it is a good time for us to attack the city." Kim Jong-ri said impatiently with a smile on his face.
"Siege, what are you kidding!" Mao Wenlong directly gave Kim Jong-ri a blow to the head.
"Why? Obviously, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Kim Jong-ri couldn't understand Mao Wenlong's words at all.
"There are so many from there, why, you tell me if you want to die in the war? Do your subordinates, and your generals, want them to die on the battlefield? Mao Wenlong glanced at Jin Zhengli and said unhurriedly.
"There is always a death to the death in a war, and this is unavoidable, so the enemy army now has a loophole, and we can take advantage of the opportunity to ......" Kim Jong Rig still argued on the basis of reason.
However, before he finished speaking, Mao Wenlong directly interrupted him and snorted coldly: "I think General Jin has not figured out until now, and there is chaos in the city because of the shortage of food, which proves that our previous decision was right." Therefore, we don't need to go to war or siege the city at all, we just need to continue to wait with peace of mind, and when there is really no food in the city, do you think that we still need to bother to attack the city at that time? ”
Seeing that he didn't explain, Jin Zhengli would not jump out of his thoughts, and Mao Wenlong had no choice but to make it clear.
Jin Zhengli was stunned for a moment, he fell silent, and began to seriously think about what Mao Wenlong said just now. Soon, he found out that what Mao Wenlong said was not false at all.
The shortage of food in the city was now certain, so there was no need to attack the city at all. The army can sit outside the city and wait for the situation inside the city to reach the worst, and the people in the city will definitely not need the Dongjiang army to attack, they will run out themselves. Even if Dahler and Kim Hee-woong can finally prevent people from escaping, cannibalism is inevitable.
After Jin Zheng's ideals were clear, he hurriedly apologized to Mao Wenlong: "Jin was confused just now, and he still hopes for the general soldier Haihan." ”
Mao Wenlong waved his hand indifferently and said: "General Jin doesn't have to be polite, now that there is chaos in the city, we can't take it lightly." If the enemy army takes advantage of any loopholes, they must be surrounded in the city. ”
"And ......"
Mao Wenlong paused for a moment, and seemed to think of some good ideas: "Since there has been a food panic in the city, then we should also create more chaos for them, and we can't let them stop too easily." ”
"Oh, did the general have any ideas for dealing with the enemy." Kim Jong-ri's eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's not a good idea, but it's good to add some chaos to the enemy." Mao Wenlong chuckled.
"Commander, please speak." Kim Jong-ri gave up.
"General Kim should be familiar with the water situation in Seoul, right?" Mao Wenlong asked with a smile.
"I know, Jin lives in Seoul all the year round, and he knows the water in it very well, what is the purpose of the general soldier suddenly asking this?" Kim Jong-ri's face was full of confusion.
"That's great, let me ask you again if most of the water in Seoul is connected with the river that runs through the city?" Mao Wenlong asked again.
"The Han River, which runs through the city, is the main source of water for the whole of Seoul. Although there were still wells in the city, they were scarce, and generally only large families had one or two wells in their yards to provide water for the Lord's household. Kim Jong-ri was refreshed, and simply said everything he knew in one breath.
After Mao Wenlong listened, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed and said, "It seems that this time it can create a lot of trouble for the people in Seoul." ”
Stopping his laughter, Mao Wenlong said to Kim Jong-ri: "The general army has decided to cut off all the river water from outside the city, and then drain the river water inside the city, so that the city will not only lack food, but also make them short of water. ”
"Water ...... scarcity"
When Kim Jong-ri heard this, his heart immediately moved, and almost seventy percent of the water in Seoul depended on the Han River. If Mao Wenlong really cut off the river and drain it, it will inevitably cause panic among the people in the city. Thinking of this, Kim Jong-ri said excitedly: "Chief soldier, this plan is quite clever, and it will definitely make those rebels worse." ”
Mao Wenlong said: "Then what are you waiting for, go and mobilize people now, start cutting off the river, and drain the water inside." ”
