Chapter 230: Unable to Conquer

The infantry continued to stand in their original positions waiting for the Ming army to attack, while the cavalry retreated to the two wings of the infantry, resting and observing the movements of the Ming army.

"Deputy General Weng, we can't attack any further. Casualties are secondary. The main issue is that our brothers who are operating the battlefield are running out of strength." A lieutenant general stepped forward and said.

Weng Zhiqi looked at the soldiers of the chariot battalion in front.

Those who were armed were fine, after all, they were always fighting one-on-one. The firearms soldiers only had to load gunpowder and bullets, and then fire.

So not much physical energy is consumed.

But the soldiers who operated the battlefield had a miserable time. They had to push the carts when attacking and pull the carts when retreating.

There were not only falcons, projectiles and gunpowder on the car, but also the weapons they usually used.

These weapons include but are not limited to Qi family swords, spears, and various blunt instruments.

When two armies came into close combat, they would pick up their weapons and rush out to kill people like other soldiers.

"Deputy General Weng, the art of war says that if you attack with one force, you will be strong; if you attack with two forceful attacks, you will be weak; if you attack with three forceful attacks, you will be exhausted. Our army has attacked twice but failed. It is better for us to retreat for the time being and make a decision after discussing with the general."

"Shut up!" Weng Zhiqi looked at the lieutenant general with a cold gaze, "You are disrupting the morale of our army. Do you believe that I will chop you off right now?"

The lieutenant general shrank his neck and stopped talking.

But everyone knows that if they continue to attack in the same way as the previous two times, they will get the same result.

Unless the other party runs out of gunpowder!

But this wish is totally unrealistic, because the Longmen guards who surrendered to the Jiannu had stored a lot of gunpowder!

Although it cannot be used recklessly by the Jiannu, it is more than enough to deal with a battle of this scale.

"General, Weng Zhiqi's morale has dropped after being unable to capture the city for a long time. Should we replace him?" Next to the central army's flag, Deputy General Qiu Yue suggested to Huang Degong.
