Yes, my take was he wanted it open so the people could escape. And you can see that Princess Rhaenys took notice of him yelling this, which perhaps contributed to her to showing mercy?
A question I have-
why was there a race to find Aegon first? Was it because Otto wanted to have him killed, making way for either the younger brother or Alicent to be put on the iron throne? Or was it because whoever got Aegon first would then be able to influence him on how to proceed with Rhaenyra? I am guessing the latter, but the first is an intriguing thought. Viserys' final words were for Alicent herself to save the kingdom, not Aegon or the other son.
