Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 519 Squeezing Public Opinion
"Sir, why did you demolish the dam?" Ma Chao asked with a frown when he saw Chen Gong was discussing with Zhao Yun about the siege of the city after letting go of the dam.

"Why did I wait to build the dam?" Chen Gong asked without answering.

"It's for destroying the city!" Knowing that Chen Gong had no intention of flooding Jinyang from the beginning, Ma Chao frowned, "But we don't have to demolish the dam, it's also a deterrent."

"The enemy's ability to defend the city depends entirely on the support of the people. Now that the other party's support has been lost, we have achieved our goal. If we keep the dam, then Simpi will make a fuss about it. But if we tear down the dam, it will also show that we If it doesn't hurt the hearts of the people, in contrast, Simpi bet with the lives of the people in the city whether I will flood the city. Although he won the bet, he has lost the hearts of the people. Build a dam!" Chen Gong patiently explained to Ma Chao.

Uh……

Ma Chao couldn't turn the corner for a while, looked at Chen Gong and said, "If the dam is removed, can the city be destroyed?"

"Naturally." Chen Gong nodded affirmatively.

How could he not believe this nonsense reason?
Ma Chao expressed doubts.

Chen Gong looked at Zhao Yun and said, "You two will lead troops to attack the city tomorrow, but you only need to use the arrow array to consume the remaining green energy in the city, and there is no need to attack by force."

"Here!" Zhao Yun nodded in agreement.

Ma Chao looked at Chen Gong, then at Zhao Yun, and nodded in agreement. Everything will be decided tomorrow, but he wants to see how Chen Gong will destroy the city.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao formed formations to shoot arrows from the east and west sides, while Chen Gong led the Chinese army to set up Liangyi formations to prevent the enemy from sneaking in.

Both Zhao Yun and Ma Chao followed Chen Gong's words, they just shot arrows, but they didn't attack the city. For a moment, clusters of arrows flew up and down the city wall, and arrows rained down on the city as if they didn't want money.

On the top of Jinyang City, the green energy rippled one after another, constantly weakening the damage caused by the arrow array, and when the arrow array landed on the top of the city, the damage was gone.

"Sir, our army's arrows can't shoot the opponent!" Gao Gan looked at Simpi anxiously. The opponent's shooting range was too far. Somewhat uncomfortable.

"They're consuming the green energy in the city!" Simpi naturally understood why Chen Gong was doing this, but he couldn't do anything about it. The range was too short. If they went out to fight, the enemy's fighting power showed yesterday. Can't beat it either.

This kind of feeling of knowing the other party's purpose, but can only watch the other party push oneself into desperation step by step, is really not very good.

"But there is always a need to react. If it goes on like this, it will hurt morale!" Gao Gan said anxiously.

Fighting a war is all about morale, and if the fight continues like this, the morale will have to disperse before the city is broken.

What can Xinpi do? He came here full of hatred, and wanted to make some truth in the northwest to help Yuan Shao defeat Chu Nan and avenge his brother.

However, although the Xiliang Army was plotted against, now Xin Pi gradually came to his senses. Chen Gong only joined forces with the Xiliang Army, but did not control it. The Liang army made the Xiliang army unable to recover from a setback, unable to pose a threat to its rear.

Although the Xiliang army agreed to Chen Gong, it can be seen from Zhang Heng's reaction that the Xiliang army is not actually loyal to Chen Gong. Although it can pose a threat to Bingzhou, if the march is not smooth, this group of mobs will definitely not go all out , even as long as he blocked the opponent's first wave of attack, and then secretly asked people to discuss and instigate the opponent, it is not impossible for the opponent to deal with Chen Gong in turn.

It's a pity that Chen Gong arrived half a month earlier than himself, and the situation was already under his control. If he didn't destroy the Xiliang army at the Yellow River ferry, the Xiliang army alone would make Xin Pi burnt out.

However, Chen Gong could take the opportunity to deploy Bingzhou calmly, and after he repelled the Xiliang army, he ran to clean up the results in a leisurely manner. To the Xiliang army, the villain was himself, but Chen Gong, who controlled everything, became The savior of the Xiliang army, after this battle, if Bingzhou cannot be defended, the entire Guanzhong may be taken into Chen Gong's pocket.

What kind of bullshit is this?
Xin Pi cursed secretly in his heart, although he knew that marching and fighting had nothing to do with character, but he still wanted to vent, this Chen Gong is really not a son of man!

I was just one step slower, and kept following the opponent's rhythm.

Moreover, Xin Pi had a vague feeling that since Chen Gong had already controlled everything, would he be indifferent after trapping himself in Jinyang?
His plan should be for the entire state.

Xin Pi just thought about it at the moment, so he gave up and continued to think about it. The most important thing right now is to defend Jinyang. If they can't even defend Jinyang, how can they continue to fight Chen Gong?
Now calm down and think carefully about the current situation. The opponent's unscrupulous use of arrows to consume one's own green energy has obviously calculated that the hearts of the people in the city have changed. What I have to do now is to turn the hearts of the people around and let the people trust them again and support them. them.

This is undoubtedly difficult, but not impossible.

If the strategy of being gentle doesn't work, then use the strategy of coercion.

Simpi recruits Guo Yuan.

"What's your order, sir?" Guo Yuan looked at Simpi and asked with a bow.

"You take people to the city, and catch up to the city wall with all the strong men in the city. Anyone who disobeys the collar will be killed!" Simpi looked at Guo Yuan, and said in a deep voice.

"Here!" Although Guo Yuan didn't understand why he did this, he agreed without hesitation and headed straight for the city with his troops.

The people in the city have lost their trust in Yuan Jun after experiencing the conversation that was heard in the city yesterday, and now they are just watching with cold eyes when they see the defenders going down the city.

However, Guo Yuan's order caused the people's lungs to ache.

"I don't have any fighting power, so if you tell me to wait to go to the city, is it going to die!?" A man who was still in good health struggled not to go to the city.

"Pfft~" The harsh knife light flashed, and the man's head was chopped off by the knife, followed by a group of soldiers who dragged out the elderly, wives and children one by one, and beheaded them on the spot.

This scene shocked many people. Guo Yuan sat on the horseback, looked at the nearby people looking indifferently, and said coldly: "This is a military order. All young and strong in the city must go to the city to assist in the garrison. If you violate the order whoever, punish him all over the house!"

The people around were silent like cicadas, no one dared to say anything more, and the ordinary people were not like the Central Plains where everyone stopped practicing the method of visualization. Facing the vicious defenders, they had no ability to resist at all.

In order to prevent his family members from being harmed, a strong man in the city resigned himself to his fate and began to join the team. Going to the city to fight, he could still gain a chance of survival. However, if he resisted, he would not only face his own death, but also his wife, children and children at home. Lost life.

Naturally, there are also those who gather a crowd to resist, but these soldiers have practiced the method of visualization for more than a year, and each one is released individually, facing these common people with one enemy against a hundred. Weak as a baby.

This is the problem that will inevitably arise after the power of heaven and earth is restored. As the low-level people, they don't have much ability to resist in the face of the government's tough solicitation. After more and more people started to join the team, those who came later also simply gave up the struggle and obediently followed the soldiers who came to recruit the people and left.

The same scene continued to be staged in the city. On the tower, the already weak public opinion began to gather again. It was not fighting for Yuan Jun, but those whose families were sent to the city wall to pray for the pillars of their own families, hoping that they could return safely.

The reason why the young and strong were called was not only because they were stronger, but also because these young and strong were the pillars of each family. Even if the people in the city did not die in the war, they had to be forced to choose to support Yuan Jun.

Sometimes, the voice of the people is really not important. Those in power have too many ways to force them to make choices that are beneficial to themselves, just like now, although after this incident, the people will hate the defenders in the city so much , but I have to hope that they can hold on, because when the city is broken, their men, fathers, and sons are very likely to die on the chaotic battlefield. Even for their own children, they must support these inhuman things .

However, when public opinion gathers, there is also public grievance. The people are powerless to resist, but the resentment in their hearts is uncontrollable unless they directly massacre the city; It's not a good thing. At the least, it will be a waste of cultivation, and at the worst, it will be bad luck, and eventually the soul will be scattered.

Simpi can feel that it has become much more difficult for the awe-inspiring aura to convert public opinion into green aura. In the past, one piece of green aura could be transformed in the same amount of time, but now it may take three times as long to transform. The backlash of public grievances has already begun.

However, Simpi is not too worried about this. Since he chose the method of extracting public opinion, he has no hope of keeping this city. When the war is over, he will erase this city from the map, as long as the carrier of resentment People are gone, and the resentment is rootless. Just get rid of the people's grievances slowly. The ultimate goal right now is to survive Chen Gong's attack. Only by living can the future be possible. If you can't even see tomorrow, What about the future?

As a large number of brave men were rushed to the top of the city, public opinion began to surge in like a tide, and public opinion finally began to gather again.

Chen Gong, who was waiting and watching, frowned, and fixedly looked at the direction of the city. He also felt the changes in youth and public opinion. In such a short time, it is impossible for the other party to reverse the likes and dislikes of the people in an instant. It's not that it can't be reversed, but it takes time. In one day, even if Simpi knelt down and begged the people, it would not be able to achieve this effect.

At the same time, Chen Gong also noticed a lot of public grievances. After thinking about it for a while, Chen Gong realized what method the other party used.

"Looking for a dead end!" Chen Gong looked at more and more figures on the top of the city, shook his head and smiled, the public opinion is there, but can the army array still stand on the narrow city wall?
"Pass my military order, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao will come here to join forces and prepare to attack the city with all their strength!" Chen Gong ordered the two armies to join forces, and at the same time all the siege equipment in the barracks was moved out. Although there are not many, they are used at this time , should be enough.

Zhao Yun and Ma Chao heard the trumpet sound from Chen Gong's side. Although they didn't quite understand it, they immediately led their troops to the south gate to join Chen Gong. The crash vehicle was pushed onto the battlefield. Under the command of Chen Gong, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao each led their troops to attack the city...
