Chapter 1852 Can't Hesitate Anymore

The current situation in Linshui City has trapped Peng Chuan. He is not going to advance or retreat. He can only maintain the threat of Linshui City through long-range troops and has not launched a charge against Linshui City for the time being.

But this is not a solution.

Before this battle began, Peng Chuan was worried that the Shuiyue Kingdom's army would help Qi Feng.

His concerns are also becoming a fact. According to the news from the spies, the army of Shuiyue Kingdom has arrived. The vanguard was the army of Yangyu Pass that he had been worried about before. The emperor of Shuiyue Kingdom, in addition to sending Yangyu Pass troops to help Qi Feng, also dispatched an elite army from the palace of Shuiyue Kingdom, and has now entered the territory of Heishui Kingdom.

In short, the emperor of Shuiyue Kingdom was determined to keep Qi Feng. In a sense, the Hei Shuiyue Kingdom was the portal of Shuiyue Kingdom. The emperor of Shuiyue Kingdom obviously did not want to lose this portal. Qi Feng has always been obedient, but he was not very familiar with Peng Chuan. Therefore, the emperor of Shuiyue Kingdom naturally hoped that the Hei Shuiyue Kingdom was in the hands of Qi Feng.

Peng Chuan, who learned this news, naturally would not be in a good mood. Once the army of Shuiyue Kingdom arrived and he had not yet taken down Linshui City, then there was a very high possibility that his people would be attacked from front and back, and at that time, the possibility of defeat was very high.

This battle has bet on his own life, the lives of his soldiers and their families, Peng Chuan must not lose!

"General!" Xue Jin walked over and said in a low voice: "It is not a solution to continue like this. Brothers think that when it is time to take ruthlessness, you have to take ruthlessness. Women cannot be kind on the battlefield. As long as you go to the battlefield, no matter the elderly or children, you will never be innocent if you die."

Obviously, Xue Jin and others also saw the current dilemma. If the situation continues like this, then they will be finished.

Xue Jin was not afraid of death. When he decided to revolt with Peng Chuan, he was ready to die, but he didn't want to die cowardly, and he didn't want to die in an unknown way.

Of course, Xue Jin also knew Qi Feng's sinister intentions, but they really had no better way now. Only by treating the elderly, women, and children equally can they overcome the current difficulties. Otherwise, the only thing waiting for them will be defeated.

Peng Chuan said in a deep voice: "Everyone thinks so?"

"Well." Xue Jin nodded: "General, this matter cannot be delayed anymore. That old man Qi Feng thought that General, you dare not attack the people, so he came up with such a dirty trick. We cannot let him succeed. What's more, it is Qi Feng who forces those old, young, women and children to the battlefield, not us. Therefore, even if those people die on the battlefield, they should blame Qi Feng, not us."

Peng Chuan was a little moved after hearing Xue Jin's words.

Xue Jin's words are not unreasonable. In fact, Peng Chuan also understands these things, but he cannot pass the hurdle in his heart. If countless old and hot women and children die under his hands, I am afraid that he will never escape this shadow in his life.

After thinking about it, Peng Chuan still shook his head and said, "No, I can't do that. If I do that, what's the difference between me and Qi Feng? It's even more than him."

"But general, if you don't do this, then Linshui City will not be able to be defeated." Xue Jin said anxiously.

If possible, Xue Jin certainly didn't want to attack those people, but the current situation forced them to do so. Apart from that, he couldn't think of a better way.

"Think about other ways, there must be other ways." Peng Chuan said: "Even if I really ordered the massacre of those old and hot women and children, I am afraid some soldiers will not be able to accept it."

In fact, Peng Chuan was more anxious than Xue Jin. After all, these people were rebelling with him because they believed him. If the uprising failed, they would all die, and he would let down the trust of these people and even make them lose their lives. He felt uneasy.

However, if Peng Chuan really attacked those old and hot women and children because of this, he would not be able to do it.

Moreover, the soldiers were all human beings, and it was not acceptable for everyone to massacre unarmed ordinary people.

"As the saying goes, kindness does not control the army. This is easy to say, but it is really not easy to do." Peng Chuan thought to himself.

Peng Chuan has been a general for many years and naturally knows the reason why charity does not control the army. In the past, he was also a general with clear rewards and punishments on the battlefield. He knew that being kind on the battlefield was very dangerous.

But this time, he was really stumped. He was a hot and hot woman and child of tens of thousands or even more than one hundred thousand.

"General, what if we still can't think of a solution? The army of Shuiyue Kingdom is getting closer and closer." Xue Jin asked.

Xue Jin knew very well that this order was not easy. If Peng Chuan really gave the order, he would definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame by historians in the future. No matter what the cause of this incident was, not everyone could accept the massacre of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of old, hot women and children.

But for the sake of the overall situation, Xue Jin had to force Peng Chuan to make a decision.

Peng Chuan looked towards Linshui City again, gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "If there is really no way, then let the brothers let go of their hands and feet to fight!"

Xue Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Peng Chuan's words. In this way, he could still accept it.

At this moment, a messenger ran over and said to Peng Chuan: "Report to the general, the army from Yangyu Pass has arrived sixty miles away from us, and is expected to arrive outside Linshui City tomorrow."

"It's coming so fast!" Peng Chuan's face became even more serious when he heard the words of the messenger.

Peng Chuan has been paying attention to the army in Yangyu Pass. This army is the elite unit of Shuiyue Kingdom, and it is also the vanguard of Shuiyue Kingdom's support for Qifeng this time. Their arrival is likely to change the situation in Linshui City.

"General!" Xue Jin said again: "The enemy is already very close to us and will attack us at any time. It is time to make a decision!"

Yes, it takes about two days to complete the journey of sixty miles. The Yangyu Pass army will take another journey today and it is very likely to arrive outside Linshui City tomorrow. Once that time comes, they will be attacked from both sides.

Peng Chuan made himself ruthless in his heart, and he also knew that the current situation was serious and it was not the time to continue hesitating.

Just as Peng Chuan was about to give the order, Wu Fan suddenly thought of him.
