Chapter 655: Post-War Discussion

Facing the enemy's 5,000 siege troops, the biggest hero was himself. The skeleton troops and Qiansui under his control were the key.

The garrison troops in the city cooperated in the operation, and they certainly had contributions, but not so great that Zhou Xu needed to reward them specifically.

In this case, just let Shi Lei determine the specific rewards according to the reward system that was formulated earlier. When the time comes, he can confirm it and arrange it if there is no problem.

As a king, he couldn't possibly handle everything himself, right? This would tire him to death. After estimating the time, the enemy's siege troops came to attack the city early in the morning, and it was only about noon now.

"In three hours, summon all the generals to the City Lord's Mansion for a meeting. Go down."

"Yes! I will take my leave."

After arranging things, Zhou Xu went straight back to the bedroom in the City Lord's Mansion and had a good rest.

Although his mantra power was not seriously overdrawn this time, he was still exhausted from controlling so many skeleton beasts to fight for a long time.

Considering the battle that might break out next, he'd better recover quickly.

For Zhou Xu, who was mentally exhausted, three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty, the generals are already waiting outside."

Listening to Silk's words, Zhou Xu stretched lazily.

"knew."

As he spoke, Zhou Xu simply washed his face, put on his clothes, and walked towards the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion.

Seeing this, generals including Shi Lei, Zhuo Ge, Li Tie, Bai Tu, etc., who had been waiting there for a long time, saluted one after another.

"We greet the King!"

Among them, Bai Tu's change was particularly obvious. The awe in his words and actions became stronger than before.

As a garrison troop of Huangsha City, Bai Tu was naturally aware of the giant skeleton beasts that were transported in and buried outside the city. However, he obviously did not expect that their king had such terrifying strength to form an army alone. This was undoubtedly far beyond his imagination, and it also made him more in awe of Zhou Xu.

"Are all of you here?"

After taking the report from Shi Lei, Zhou Xu looked at it and asked without raising his head.

"Reporting to the king, everyone is here."

"Well, let's start the meeting. Let's review the battle this morning. Shi Lei, you will host it."

"yes!"

During the battle in the morning, Zhou Xu's energy was basically focused on controlling the giant skeleton beast. He paid relatively little attention to the overall battle situation, and was definitely not as clear as Shi Lei, who was in charge of the command work.

In this way, Zhou Xu directly handed the job to Shi Lei, and he took the time to read the report.

Although judging from the results, they won a great victory, it does not mean that there is no meaning in reviewing the game.

In fact, there is always room for improvement in the process of taking action and executing orders.

At the same time, each general has different ideas about a thing from different perspectives. Integrating all these ideas will also be beneficial to their future growth.

While the generals were reviewing the morning's battle step by step, Zhou Xu also methodically read through the reward list drawn up by Shi Lei in his hand.

Shi Lei was still very cautious in his work. After Zhou Xu took a look, he found no problems. The reward for this battle could basically be finalized.

During this period, the generals had almost completed their review work.

"Okay, now let's discuss the next plan. There are roughly two paths before us. One is to turn defense into offense, pursue the victory and attack Black Stone City, and the other is to continue to defend Yellow Sand City."

As he spoke, Zhou Xu spread his hands.

"You are welcome to speak freely."

After saying this, Zhou Xu stopped talking, and the whole situation fell into a brief silence. The generals below looked at each other, and for a moment, no one wanted to speak first.

In the end, it was Shi Lei who spoke first after coughing twice.

"If we switch from defense to offense and attack Black Stone City, then according to my judgment, our troops may not be enough. Even if we can break the opposite city gate with the three-bow crossbow, don't forget that there are at least 3,000 enemy troops stationed in the city. In terms of military strength, we are at an overwhelming disadvantage."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals present nodded in agreement.

Under normal circumstances, it is not a sure thing for 5,000 siege troops to attack Huangsha City with its simple defense facilities, but it is not a big problem either.

They were able to hold out in the battle that morning, and even turned defeat into victory, defeating the siege troops, all thanks to the great power of their king.

With this as a premise, and Shi Lei's words, the discussion quickly turned to continuing to defend Huangsha City.

During this period, as one of the generals who participated in this meeting, Bai Tu also agreed with Shi Lei's analysis in his heart, but his talent destined Bai Tu's nature to be more inclined to attack rather than defense. In addition, the opponent was their enemy who destroyed their country, which made Bai Tu have a lot of thoughts for a while.

[Considering the difference in military strength, even if we can break into the city, the enemy has the home advantage, so we really don't have much chance of winning. But if we can add the power of those skeleton beasts, it should not be impossible to defeat them, right? ]

Thinking of this, Bai Tu wanted to speak.

But on second thought, I felt that something was wrong.

[After spending some time together, I know that the generals under the king are no ordinary people. Would they not have thought of this? ]

Bai Tu felt that it was unlikely. Shi Lei and the others would not make such a low-level mistake.

[They must have thought of it, but no one mentioned it, which means there must be something wrong, causing those skeleton beasts to be unable to show enough combat power in the siege.]

When Bai Tu thought of this, he immediately swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

During this time, Zhou Xu could see clearly Bai Tu's hesitant look.

The 'Eye of Insight' essentially improves one's own insight ability. Through this insight ability, he can discover many things that cannot be discovered under normal circumstances.

This of course also includes observing and capturing the other person's small movements and changes in micro-expressions.

And this information can enable him to understand the other party's thoughts to a certain extent.

As his thoughts raced, a smile flashed across Zhou Xu's lips, and then he spoke slowly...

"Bai Tu Ni, do you have anything to say? It just so happens that you have had experience fighting against each other before, and I also want to hear your thoughts."

Bai Tu was startled when his name was suddenly called. At the same time, the eyes of the generals in the hall were focused on him along with the words of their king, which made Bai Tu feel quite pressured.

After a slight hesitation, he made up his mind and started talking.
