Emperor Ling of Han was the last powerful emperor of the Han Dynasty, a figure who could have altered the course of history, yet he became the root cause of the empire's collapse.
Fate ha...
In my opinion, Xindu, Julu, and Weijun cities currently have ample food supplies and can hold their positions to the death. The best course of action is to wait for the rebel armies from Yan and Qing provinces to arrive, and then join forces.
Liu Kui nodded: "Mr. Lu is right. Furthermore, if our army abandons the city and flees, we will be like a tree without roots, and we will be looked down upon by the people of Yan and Qing!"
Hearing Liu Kui say this, the group of leaders couldn't help but nod in agreement. It seemed that no one liked living under someone else's roof.
On the other side, Huangfu Gui led 15,000 Northern Army soldiers and 2,000 Imperial Guard vanguard soldiers to the west of Jiyin City.
Looking at the Han army banners still fluttering over Jiyin City in the distance, Huangfu Gui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, the 40,000 rebel troops besieging Jiyin had suffered heavy casualties after several attacks on the city, and there were less than 30,000 soldiers still capable of fighting.
Within Jiyin City, including the Sheshui Battalion soldiers and able-bodied men, there were still a total of five thousand men fit for battle.
After ascertaining the enemy's situation, General Huangfu Gui and his generals gathered in the main tent.
Looking at the generals in the tent, Huangfu Gui said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, the enemy army has been trapped in Jiyin for a long time and has not been able to capture it. Their morale is low and they are exhausted."
Therefore, I have decided to join forces with the city's garrison to launch a night raid tonight, attacking from both sides. In this way, the enemy army will surely be defeated in one battle!
Inside the tent, Huangfu Song, Gao Shun, Dong Zhuo, Lü Bu, and a host of generals all nodded in agreement.
Then Huangfu Gui, holding the command arrow, stood up and looked at the generals.
"Dong Zhuo!!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
Dong Zhuo, who was the first to be called out, was delighted and immediately responded loudly.
"I hereby order you to lead five thousand soldiers to launch a night raid on the enemy camp east of the city at the second watch of the night!"
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Dong Zhuo respectfully accepted the command arrow from Huangfu Gui, and then strode out.
Subsequently, Huangfu Gui ordered Gao Shun to lead 5,000 troops to attack the enemy camp in the east of the city, and Huangfu Song to lead 5,000 troops to attack the enemy camp in the south of the city.
As the generals departed one by one, Huangfu Gui picked up the last command arrow and looked at Lü Bu, who was eager to fight.
