In the Great Qian Dynasty, Qin Ze, who transmigrated and became the son of the Tiger Might General, was cast aside by the Empress after she used him, stripped of his military power, and enfeoffed t...
Kim Geon-in remained silent, but beads of sweat rolled down his face.
Behind him, Kim Tae, looking flustered, also asked:
"General, these rebel cavalrymen... they seem to be no less formidable than Xiong Qian's heavy cavalry!"
"No, they have more than just cavalry; they also have infantry!"
"General, look over there. Isn't that a group of infantrymen with swords? Are they the same swordsmen who defeated our heavy cavalry before? Yes, they must be." Jin Tai said incoherently.
Beside Jin Tai was his brother Jin Yuan, who said in a panic:
"General, we have made the most extensive preparations."
"Although we have a large number of troops and the city's defenses are good enough, we are waiting for a decisive battle with the rebels."
"only......."
He paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and spoke:
"But given the current situation, it might not be easy to fight."
"In my humble opinion, this is unlikely to defeat the rebels, and we might even be in trouble..."
Before he could finish speaking, Kim Geon-in turned away with a cold expression.
Jin Yuan was shocked when he saw his expression, realizing that he shouldn't have said anything that could undermine morale at this time.
Before he could speak, Kim Geon-in burst into laughter:
"I never expected Qin Ze to command such a large army. I really underestimated him!"
"Hmph, this kid has some skills. He's quite good at winning people over, and he's brought so many people with him."
As he spoke, his face grew even more somber.
But soon, he waved his hand dismissively:
"Don't panic, fight according to the previous plan!"
"The outcome is still uncertain before any formal battle begins!"
At this point, he shouted, "Jin Zhao! You organize the battle from this city wall and attack with ranged weapons!"
"When they get closer, give them a good beating!"
Jin Zhao's expression tightened, and he hurriedly said:
"Yes, General!"
"But these defeated soldiers are on their way. What should we do?"
Jin Jianren's face was terribly gloomy, and he said coldly:
"Let them launch a counterattack!"
"Just like that, we escape into the city? Absolutely not!!"
Jin Zhao looked troubled and stammered, "Under these circumstances, I'm afraid there's no way to get them to counterattack..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jin Jianren shouted angrily:
"If we don't counterattack, we'll just wait to die!!"
"On the battlefield, your life is in your own hands. If you are afraid of bloodshed, afraid of death, and dare not kill the enemy, then accept death!"
Kim Jo's face was deathly pale. In fact, he thought it would be difficult to fight the rebels in this situation.
At this moment, Kim Geon-in's furious shouts continued:
"Did you understand? The defenses on the city wall are yours to command!"
"We must launch a fierce attack on the rebels!"
Jin Zhao's expression turned serious, and he immediately replied, "Yes, General!"
Seeing that he obeyed, Jin Jianren glanced at Jin Ming and then said:
"Jin Ming, you will come with me to command the cavalry!"
"Once the weapons on the city wall are exhausted, whether the enemy forces reach the city gate or are routed by us, you will come with me out of the city to engage the rebels in direct combat!"
These words shocked everyone present!
Apart from Jin Ming, who readily agreed, the other generals' expressions changed, with Jin Tai speaking even more urgently:
"General, given the size of the rebel army, should we still go out of the city to fight?"
That being said, Kim Tae actually felt that even blocking him might not be enough.
The defenses on the city wall were indeed very tight, with all sorts of long-range weapons already set up, but the rebels also had long-range weapons!
Moreover, with such a strong military force, could they really stop the rebels and even lead their cavalry out of the city to meet them in battle?
It's incredibly difficult to achieve that level of skill.
Faced with Kim Tae's question, Kim Gun-in remained unfazed and said in a resounding voice:
"Yes! That's the way we have to fight!"
"This operation is not a purely defensive one, but rather an attempt to find an opportunity to defeat the enemy!"
"The rebels are coming on strong. If we just stay here, they will wear us down. If we want to defeat them, we must find an opportunity in danger!"
"Lead the cavalry and charge into the rebel ranks amidst the chaos. If we can kill the rebel leader..."
"Then, this battle still has a long way to go, otherwise..."
He raised his face, looked at the army in the distance, and then said in a deep voice, "We're really in a dead end."
Upon hearing this, the generals' faces turned grave.
Indeed, the tactic of capturing the leader first is extremely effective.
However... the rebel army is currently far too numerous, and finding Qin Ze among so many people and then successfully killing him is an extremely difficult task.
This is no less than walking through mountains of knives and seas of fire.
Those who went to fight would likely face a near-certain death.
All the generals looked at Kim Geon-in, their expressions complex.
At this point, as the commander-in-chief, he actually chose to take the most dangerous path and execute the most difficult tactics.
His courage and decisiveness in such a dangerous situation are truly admirable and have inspired everyone.
Jin Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "General! Let me go!"
"This humble general is willing to lead the cavalry into the enemy ranks, find Qin Ze, and cut off his head in one fell swoop!"
