Liu Feng saw things very clearly; the key to this battle now lies right here.

Moreover, Liu Feng had high hopes for this commander at the front, which was clearly marked on the map, a point that Liu Feng strongly agreed with.

After all, the Dali people really had no effective way to resist chariots, and they were able to fight and retreat while suffering such small losses.

This general is already very capable.

"General Liu, do you have a good plan?"

When Linglong saw Liu Feng put the map down, she immediately asked him a question.

"No."

Liu Feng answered almost without hesitation.

From the map, Liu Feng could see very clearly that there was no particularly good terrain for defense.

It can be said that the situation was one where the Wu-Yue allied forces could relentlessly pursue and attack them.

Liu Feng had indeed considered chariots before, but later gave up because of the mountainous terrain in the north.

The tanks and armored vehicles produced were designed to meet the needs of mountain warfare, and were all miniaturized.

It was not produced to adapt to large-scale plains warfare.

Therefore, even if the tanks were sent to the front lines, they wouldn't be of much use.

Secondly, Liu Feng had previously used the bed crossbow, a powerful weapon, when dealing with the Northern Barbarians, and it proved to be very effective for the Fengling Army at the time.

However, the ballista has too many limitations. It can only be used in suitable locations, but these limitations are indefensible. Even if the ballista is sent to the front line, it will be useless.

The enemy breached the city in no time, and these things will only become their spoils of war.

Therefore, it is even more meaningless.

There are only two ways to win this major battle right now.

First, Liu Feng should quickly develop cannons, such powerful weapons, and bombard the enemy with them, then they will achieve a complete victory.

However, the saltpeter was still in Qingzhou and had not been transported back. Secondly, casting cannons would also take time, so there was clearly not enough time.

Secondly, we should take out the blueprints for the tanks and armored vehicles and give them to Princess Linglong so that she can send them to the front lines.

They used enlarged tanks to fight against Wu and Yue's chariots head-on.

If the production capacity at the front is high enough to produce several hundred tanks in a short time, then there is still a chance to compete with the chariots of the Wu Kingdom.

But this is ancient times, unlike modern assembly line production.

Therefore, it was simply impossible to produce tanks and armored vehicles capable of competing with Wu's chariots in a short period of time.

If we make it here and then send it to the front lines, it will not only be troublesome, but it will also take much longer.

However, tanks still have advantages, since they only consume wood and not warhorses or other weapons, so large-scale production is not restricted.

Since these two most direct paths are not feasible for the time being, it is natural that they cannot defeat the Wu-Yue allied forces.

"Let's tell the emperor to sue for peace as soon as possible."

What is lost can be regained in the future.

"At present, preserving our manpower is the most important thing."

Liu Feng is currently only talking theory, so he won't come up with any ideas. There are nearly 100,000 troops at the front, and he doesn't want to put them in danger because of his own idea.

Of course, there is a third possibility: Liu Feng may lead a large army to the battlefield in person.

However, under the current circumstances, Liu Feng would not lead his men to the front lines.

Linglong's expression changed drastically.

What are we going to do now? Even Liu Feng is at a loss.

She couldn't accept the result for a while.

"Sum?"

How could you do that?

"The states of Wu and Yue harbor wolfish ambitions, aiming to annex the territory of my Great Li."

"If our Great Li shows weakness and seeks peace, it will only embolden the other side."

"Land can be lost, but it can be taken back."

"However, if Dali loses all its resources, then there will be absolutely no hope left."

“I have received a secret report that a rebellion is imminent in Yanzhou. I will be tied down by the Heaven and Earth Society in Yanzhou.”

"The 300,000 troops in Liaodong are to defend against the Northern Barbarians and Eastern Liao."

"The Jingzhou army has 50,000 troops defending southern Jingzhou."

"The troops stationed in Qingzhou will not dare to move easily. At that time, the Dali Dynasty will be completely on the edge of a precipice."

"Not only will we lose territory, but we will also lose our last 100,000 mobile troops."

"The various factions are about to divide up Dali."

“Go back and explain to him that the best way now is to seek peace and concentrate our efforts on dealing with the Heaven and Earth Society.”

"Once the Heaven and Earth Society's losses are resolved, I can help them reclaim the lost territory."

"This can be considered a pledge of military authority. If I take land that I will not lose, I am willing to accept military punishment."

Liu Feng threw the battle report in his hand onto the table.

He doesn't need to read all of this.

He had already made up his mind.

These words were like an ultimatum. Linglong understood immediately after hearing them that Liu Feng had made his decision.

Continuing to stall Liu Feng wouldn't achieve anything, so they could only order people to pack up and leave.

Seeing that Linglong was about to leave, Liu Feng's expression became even more serious, because she wasn't one of Linglong's people, and she wouldn't have left so quickly if she wasn't in a hurry.

This time, the Dali Dynasty truly stood on the edge of history.

Of course, for the emperor, choosing to sue for peace was an extremely humiliating loss.

Such a great war resulted in the loss of a large amount of land and people. In the end, instead of fighting to the death, they chose to seek peace.

The court would inevitably be in uproar, and it might even greatly diminish his prestige as emperor.
