The outcome of Hejian City being breached was something Jiang Liangping could not accept under any circumstances.
There will be more "Hejian City" being breached in the future, which Jiang Liangping cannot even imagine.
Therefore, it is very clear how to make a choice.
But, he couldn't give that order.
Wu Anxiang has already come to his senses.
"Liangping, we must tell the golden thief from the very beginning that we will not compromise because of this matter. We will definitely fight back, and fight back more resolutely... The golden thief will not continue to use it if he sees that this method is useless."
Jiang Liangping turned to look at Wu Anxiang.
"Everything you said is correct, but... we did kill those people under the city, right? The people who were supposed to be protected by us were killed by us with our own hands. Is it allowed to do such a thing?"
"This is the golden thief's poisonous plan. It kills people and kills people. It makes us unable to advance or retreat. We don't know what to do. We can take advantage of this to conquer Hejian City..."
Wu Anxiang took a deep breath.
He looked at the scene of dark clouds outside the city and said resolutely: "I was studying and saw such a record. It said that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Taiwei Qiaoxuan's youngest son, who was only ten years old, stayed at Qiaoxuan's mansion. It was hijacked by three thieves.
The thief threatened Qiao Xuan and asked Qiao Xuan to pay for his son, otherwise he would kill his son. The official responsible for arresting the thief discussed the matter with Qiao Xuan. Qiao Xuan resolutely refused to accept the thief's conditions, saying that the person who committed the crime did not Human nature, how could he violate the laws of the country because of his personal relationship?
So the officials went all out to hunt down the thief and killed him, and his youngest son died as a result. Before this incident, the country was becoming increasingly chaotic and laws were ineffective. Those who took hostages in Luoyang City did not care about their status. After this incident, Nothing like this has ever happened again in Luoyang City. "
Jiang Liangping immediately understood what Wu Anxiang meant.
The matter itself is unsolvable.
But in order to prevent this from happening again, even if there is no solution, we must fight our way out and find a solution.
The solution is to attack head-on so that no one will ever think of doing such a thing again.
Of course, the price to pay for a head-on attack may be high.
For example, the price Qiao Xuan paid was that his son died, his career came to an end, and he had to bear the moral condemnation of not saving his son - no matter how the country officially determined it, such moral condemnation would never be absent.
And if such a thing happened now, then the person who ordered the attack could basically declare social death, and there would be no hope of achieving anything in the future.
Anyone who understands understands how much he has paid, but in addition to admiration, everyone also has a trace of grudge in their heart. Just a trace of grudge can completely destroy everything about this person.
This person must sacrifice his future and even his life to break through the deadlock for the Liberation Army.
Jiang Liangping understood.
"I understand what you mean, so you want me to give the order, right?"
Wu Anxiang looked at Jiang Liangping, shook his head, and laughed.
"I'll give the order."
"…………"
Jiang Liangping was stunned: "You?"
"Whoever issued this order, can he continue to command the battle? The sergeants will not say anything, but they will have grudges in their hearts... There are also many locals from Hebei among them."
Wu Anxiang had a calm expression on his face and said with a smile: "I don't know how to command a war. If you give an order, it won't be long before the city can't be defended. So, let me give the order. I will be responsible for this sinner. However, I may need you to cooperate with me in a play."
Jiang Liangping hasn't reacted yet.
"ah?"
Wu Anxiang looked at the progress of the Jin Army under the city and felt that it could not be delayed any longer.
"General Jiang, how long will you continue to hesitate?! If you continue, the gold thieves will take down Hejian City! There are nearly 300,000 people in the city and they will become prisoners of the gold thieves!"
Suddenly, there was a quarrel at the top of the city, which was as quiet as a ghost town. The sound was so loud that many people nearby heard it.
"I……"
Wu Anxiang suddenly yelled at the top of his lungs, which startled Jiang Liangping and made him unable to react.
Wu Anxiang, however, did not give Jiang Liangping time to react and pressed forward directly.
"How many people are outside the city? How many people are inside the city! Can't you tell the difference?!"
"If you hesitate any longer, we! And the 200,000 people in the city will die! They will all die! Is this the result you want to see?!"
"You are a general! A general cannot be kind to a woman! You must give the order immediately! Attack!"
Wu Anxiang scolded Jiang Liangping while winking at him vigorously.
Jiang Liangping's heart was suddenly filled with extremely complex emotions.
He didn't want to argue with Wu Anxiang according to his wishes, nor did he want to have a big quarrel with Wu Anxiang and then pretend to be refuted by him, or even have him take over the command.
But when he saw Wu Anxiang's anxious expression and eyes, he opened his mouth involuntarily and roared at the top of his voice.
"But the people outside the city are also people! They are also from Hebei! How could I give such an order! You said it lightly! How could I give such an order!"
"Are there more people outside the city or inside the city? Once the city is broken! We will all die! Is this the decision you made?"
"This is not something that can be compared! There is no more or less human life! There is only life or death! This cannot be compared! We are the Liberation Army! Not gold thieves! Golden thieves can kill innocent people! We can't!!"
"Then kill those gold thieves! Let them never dare to threaten us with people from outside the city again! This is the best way to protect everyone! Don't you understand this?!"
"But they...should they die?"
"No one wants that, it's not their fault, and it's not our fault! It's the gold thieves who are wrong! It's the gold thieves! So! Attack! Kill all the gold thieves! And nothing will happen again!"
"…………"
Jiang Liangping didn't know what to say.
Wu Anxiang felt it was time.
"Are you giving the order or not?"
"…………"
Jiang Liangping was still silent.
"If you don't give the order, I will!"
Wu Anxiang yelled and immediately ordered the surrounding messengers: "Attack! Attack me! Attack!!!"
Wu Anxiang's order was issued, but the soldiers were very hesitant and didn't know what to do. They all looked at Jiang Liangping.
Jiang Liangping lowered his head and fell into silence.
"I am the instructor of Hejian City, and my status is equivalent to that of a deputy general. If the general fails to act, I will give the order! Those who do not respect orders will be dealt with according to military law! Do you dare to violate military law?"
Wu Anxiang roared angrily, and the messengers woke up one after another, ran away, and went to convey Wu Anxiang's attack order. Some people beat the war drums and ordered the troops to fight.
This burst of war drums really frightened the Jin Army. They widened their eyes and worried that the Liberation Army would attack them and decide to attack them, but they did not.
The sound of war drums at the top of the city was heard for a long time, but not a single arrow was shot.
The Jin army was relieved and continued to move forward, thinking that it was just a trick by the Restoration Army at the top of the city.
However, the fact is that after the order was issued, no one on the city wall was willing to take the lead in the attack. They were all hesitant and unable to take action.
"Military orders are like mountains! Anyone who violates military orders will be dealt with according to military law! Do you want to violate military laws?!"
Wu Anxiang personally arrived at the front line of the city and strictly ordered the city defenders to launch an attack. However, the city defenders remained silent, with evasive eyes and a difficult expression. They did not know how to respond.
Seeing this, Wu Anxiang snatched the sledgehammer from a bed crossbow shooter, raised it high, and slammed it down. With a loud noise, a bed crossbow arrow shot out from the top of the city.
Taking this as a sign is just a big arrow, not even a rocket that helps the powder barrel, but in the eyes of the Jin Army, it is a sign that the Restoration Army at the top of the city will launch an attack.
The tight string in their hearts was broken.
The already tense battlefield suddenly became lively.
The Jin Army launched an attack, and the city was immediately violently attacked by the Jin Army. Under the fierce attack, the soldiers of the Liberation Army began to fight back as if on a conditioned reflex.
Both sides seemed to have completely forgotten the fatal game between the two sides.
A conspiracy-style attack suddenly turned into a life-and-death offensive and defensive battle, and everything was back to where it started.
