Gu Erha continued, "I am not a ruthless person. But now, since Du Qi has resorted to such unscrupulous means, he cannot blame me. I will repay kindness with kindness and revenge with vengeance. That is my attitude. Today, we have lost countless comrades. Therefore, in this battle, we will return an eye for an eye. We must take revenge. "
All the soldiers were agitated at once.
Three days of plunder.
This was a huge promise.
Generally speaking, people like Gu Erha, who had to consider their reputation and future development, would rarely use such a plan to allow their soldiers to plunder. This was because such an arrangement would lead to criticism.
It might even lead to conflict among the people.
When that time came, it would be very difficult to rule the place.
But now, Gu Erha had no choice. He had to do this. If he did not follow this plan, it would be difficult to raise the morale of his soldiers.
In particular, Du Qi's bombardment of cannons made Gu Erha even more furious.
He was filled with anger.
If he did not take revenge, he would not be human.
Gu Erha had already made up his mind. After taking down Du Qi, he would torture Du Qi bit by bit. He would make Du Qi beg for death.
At this moment, the soldiers were agitated. Countless people shouted the words "an eye for an eye".
Each and every one of the soldiers was exceptionally agitated.
Gu Erha allowed the soldiers to shout. After a long while, when all the soldiers stopped shouting, Gu Erha waved his sleeve and ordered, "Everyone, rest well. Tomorrow morning, we will officially attack Du Qi. We will break Du Qi's camp in one go. Then, we will kill our way into the enemy camp. "
"Kill, kill, kill!"
When Zhang Ji heard this, he could not help but shout loudly.
He was extremely agitated.
He was even excited.
The rest of the soldiers also shouted loudly. The atmosphere had already been stirred up.
The morale of the soldiers was restored.
The fighting spirit was restored.
Seeing this, Gu Erha did not lecture them anymore. He waved his hand and ordered them to disperse. All the soldiers went to rest. Gu Erha brought Zhang Ji back to the tent.
The host and guests took their seats.
Zhang Ji said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I agree with the order to allow the soldiers to plunder for three days in Xia Xia's territory. After all, this is the only way to boost morale at the moment. However, I'm afraid this will trigger a chain reaction. "
"What reaction?" Gu Erha asked.
Zhang Ji said, "The news will definitely spread. At that time, the resistance from Xia Xia's side will be even fiercer. In fact, it will be even more difficult for us to govern Xia Xia in the future. Countless people in the entire Xia Xia will be hostile to us. "
Gu Erha stroked his beard and said slowly, "There's no other way around this. Minister Zhang, now that we've been ambushed for a while, the soldiers' morale has been damaged. Do you have any other ways to boost their morale and make them go all out? "
"No!"
Zhang Ji shook his head helplessly.
Until now, he still had no solution.
"In that case, carry out the order," said Guerha. If you have a solution, this Prince will adopt it. I also know that if we adopt this method, there will be a lot of trouble in the future. The problem is that there's no other way now. As for the hidden dangers, we'll talk about it later. "
Zhang Ji nodded and said no more.
When Zhang Ji walked out of the camp to patrol outside, the sentries outside Gu Erha's camp had already left.
These sentries were arranged by Liu Che.
Although they couldn't inquire about the news in the camp, they could at least observe the movements in the camp. Within the camp, there were countless people shouting and yelling. The sentries outside the camp could hear everything clearly.
They heard the battle cries, as well as the voices of tit for tat.
When the sentries heard the news, they immediately rushed back.
The news was reported to Liu Che. After Liu Che heard it, he went straight to the command tent. When he saw Du Qi, he immediately reported, "Your Majesty, the sentries just sent back news that there are constant battle cries coming from Ming's camp. The general idea is that they want to take revenge. In this situation, I've determined that the other party is very likely to take revenge and start a war. "
Du Qi said, "If that's the case, we'll have to prepare early."
After a pause, Du Qi said, "What do you plan to do?"
Liu Che said, "I plan to set up a line of defense outside the camp and prepare to defend. Since the other party wants to attack, we'll attack with defense. After all, if we can use defense to exhaust the other party's strength, we won't lose out. "
"Alright!"
Du Qi immediately nodded.
Liu Che said, "Since that's the case, I'll immediately arrange for the defense. After all, according to the current situation, Gu Erha might give the order to attack in the next few days, or even tomorrow, or even tonight. "
Du Qi said, "There won't be any future troubles if we prepare early."
"Yes!"
Liu Che immediately replied.
He turned and left the tent, quickly going to arrange the matters in the army.
As time passed, it was close to evening. Everything was arranged properly. Liu Che had even arranged for an army to be on night duty just in case they were attacked at night. It was all to prevent any disturbances.
The night passed uneventfully, and a day passed in the blink of an eye.
The next day, early morning.
Although it was still a little cold in the morning, the sun had just risen. The warm sun rose, and its golden rays scattered over the camp, making it seem like the entire camp was covered in a layer of golden carpet.
The soldiers had already started their training.
Liu Che was in charge of the soldiers' training. When the morning exercises were over, it was time for breakfast.
After breakfast, the soldiers rested for the time being.
However, while the soldiers were resting, a scout returned first and reported to Liu Che that Gu Erha had led the army out of the camp and was heading straight for them.
When Liu Che heard the news, he immediately reported it to Du Qi. At the same time, he quickly made arrangements.
They were ready to defend the camp.
Not long after, the majestic sound of war drums could be heard outside the camp.
The drums rumbled, and battle cries shook the sky.
More and more soldiers were shouting and cheering. More and more soldiers seemed to be heading straight for the camp.
Du Qi and Liu Che, on the other hand, were waiting in the camp.
Both of them used binoculars to look into the distance. In order to avoid being bombarded, the enemy had not sent their troops over yet. Instead, they were about four hundred paces away, quickly building forts and moving cannons.
Liu Che said, "Your Majesty, the enemy's intentions are very clear. They should be using cannons to bombard the entrance of our camp, sweeping through and weakening our defenses. Then, they'll let the soldiers attack. "
Du Qi had a smile on his face. "Since that's the case, then we'll use the strategy of giving them a taste of their own medicine. Immediately arrange for our artillerymen to set up mortars and aim at the cannons 400 paces away. Once they fire, we'll immediately return fire and destroy their cannon group. "
"Yes!"
Liu Che received the order and immediately went to make arrangements.
He couldn't wait to see Gu Erha's expression when he saw the cannon group being destroyed.
