"No, the city gate can't be opened!" The staff member just suggested to open the city gate, and someone immediately retorted. The staff member looked at it and the person who refuted him was the same colleague who said before that he could not go to the raid camp.
For a moment, his heart burst into anger.
If there was no opposition from him before, even if the attack on the camp failed now, that would be okay to explain. However, because of his previous opposition, once the attack on the camp fails now, the people present will inevitably make a comparison. This comparison, no Do you seem incompetent?
Moreover, this staff member also felt that the other party opposed him, and he definitely did not want to give him a chance to make up for his merits, so that all troops leaving the city would be wiped out. In that case, the responsibility would be borne by him, and the loss would be great. The four princes and one In anger, I still don't know how to treat myself.
"Why can't you open it? You haven't seen so many of our soldiers coming? If you don't open the city gate, how do they come in? Do you want them to die outside? At least you should bear the responsibility?" said the assistant who suggested opening the city gate. .
The staff member who just opposed did not look at his anxious colleague, but looked at the four princes and said, "Your Royal Highness, this city gate really can't be opened. You see, Yuanfeng Kingdom’s army has always been behind our army. , It’s hard to guarantee that they didn’t do this deliberately. Once we opened the city gate, they rushed in. At that time, our city would be in danger."
The four princes hesitated on his face. Naturally, he didn’t want to see that the army outside the city was completely wiped out. It was a blow to their strength and his prestige. Although it would not hurt his muscles and bones, he It doesn't look good on the face.
However, what this staff member said is not unreasonable. If they open the city gate and Yuanfeng State's army rushes in, wouldn't their side be in danger? Although they were preparing for a decisive battle with Yuanfeng’s army, they never thought that the day of the decisive battle would come so soon. They also wanted to use city defenses and some traps to consume Yuanfeng’s strength. In the decisive battle, they have a greater grasp on this.
Therefore, the four princes do not want to fight the final battle now.
Therefore, at this time, the army of Yuanfeng country cannot be allowed to enter the city.
However, the staff member who just suggested opening the gate of the city did not intend to give up.
"How do you know that Yuanfengguo’s army deliberately did it? I think it’s more likely that our army fought bravely and then broke through, but we don’t open the city gate now. It will be chilled by the soldiers!" The staff member said: "In our city, there are more than 300,000 troops gathered at this time, and Yuanfeng Guo has only more than 200,000 troops, even if they rushed to it. We won’t be in any danger when we come in. Do you think that under the leadership of the Four Princes, we can’t beat those Yuanfeng Nation’s troops? We have been defeated by them before. Are you afraid of being beaten by them?”
"You! I didn't mean to believe in His Royal Highness the Four Princes. I just think it's safer if you don't open the city gate." The staff member said before. He was also a little anxious, but he knew that His Highness the Four Princes was not so broad-minded. , If he is jealous, his future will be over.
At this time, the other people on the front of the city were also divided into two factions. Some people felt that the city gate should be opened to accept the army from outside the city. Others felt that the city gate should not be opened. People use.
Both sides have their own reasons, and the Four Princes don't know what to do during the time.
At this time, Feng Jueguo’s troops outside the city had already rushed to the vicinity of the city gate, and the sounds of crying for help, shouting for killing, and wailing were mixed together. The people standing on the top of the city could clearly see the tragedy below. Some soldiers, Some were too unbearable, and began to talk a lot.
"Let people open the city gate!" His Royal Highness the Four Princes ordered. Although he is not very knowledgeable in military affairs, he also knows that he has to rely on soldiers to fight. If they are chilled, who will give his life?
"His Royal Highness, no!" the aides said uncontrollably.
"I've already decided, don't talk anymore." His Royal Highness the Four Prince waved his hand.
The staff member who suggested to open the city gate gave his colleague a triumphant look, and then he went to ask someone to open the city gate.
However, soon news came that the city gate was not opened. There was a group of people guarding the city gate, and no one was allowed to approach the city gate, not even those sent by the four princes!
"Who are they? Who kept them there? Why didn't they obey my orders? Are they going to rebel?" the fourth prince angered.
If he didn't decide to open the gate of the city, it would be fine. Since he had ordered the gate to be opened, and now he couldn't open it, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
Moreover, all the defenders in this city should be obeyed by his orders now. There are some troops who do not obey his orders, which makes him very angry.
This is someone challenging his bottom line!
"They said they were sent by His Majesty the Emperor." The visitor replied.
"Father?" The four princes were taken aback after hearing this, and said, "Why did he send someone to the gate of the city?"
"Those people didn't say it." The person said.
The four princes froze in place, thinking why his father gave this order. Didn't he make all the troops obey his orders? Why is he now giving other orders behind his back, is this his idea, or is it someone else's picking up? Is this not believing in yourself?
This is not good news for the four princes.
"His Royal Highness, this is not good news." The staff member who had previously suggested opening the city gate whispered.
"Do you still need to talk about it?" The fourth prince suffocated each other's eyes and said angrily.
"His Majesty, I suspect that there may be other princes making trouble behind this." The aides continued: "Your Majesty believed that His Majesty should not arrange for other troops to act privately behind His Highness. Other princes must be unwilling to give up. Therefore, speak ill of your highness to your majesty."
The face of the fourth prince is even more ugly, because he thinks so in his own heart.
"What should I do now?" said the fourth prince.
"Since His Majesty the Emperor has made arrangements, we certainly can't refute it. Although the four princes in this city are commanding the battle, the person who really controls it is the Emperor," said the aides.
Why didn't His Highness the Four Princes understand this truth? Although he is the nominal commander-in-chief, he also knows that many people are only observing his command because of the face of the old emperor, and may not obey him in his heart. Between the old emperor and him, more people He must have chosen to believe in the old emperor.
