A commander with a mustache suggested this.
No sooner had the words been spoken than a voice suddenly came from the very back of the military tent.
"If we bypass Fuling City to attack other cities, we will expose the rear of our army to Mu Zi'an, and our army will be caught in a pincer attack at any time."
"Moreover, if we fail to capture the other cities in Liangzhou for a long time, and the Dali reinforcements arrive, Mu Zian will cut off the army's retreat, and we will be directly trapped in Liangzhou."
As soon as the voice fell, the commander with the mustache looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the speaker was Pei Shaozhu. Upon seeing this, he snorted disdainfully.
"You Han people are so afraid of everything! If you're so cowardly, you shouldn't be fighting. You should just go home and nurse your mothers."
As soon as he finished speaking, the others inside the tent burst into laughter.
Despite the Xiongnu's mockery, Pei Shaozhu remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged.
"How do you think we should fight this battle?"
Yelü Junba's voice suddenly came.
The generals were stunned, never expecting that the Left Wise King would ask a Han Chinese traitor about the plan at this moment.
For a moment, everyone felt as if they had been humiliated, and they all glared angrily at Pei Shaozhu.
Pei Shaozhu seemed not to see it and simply cupped his hands in greeting.
"The art of war says: if you have ten times the enemy's strength, surround them; if you have five times their strength, attack them; if you have twice their strength, divide them; if you are equal to them, fight them; if you are few in number, escape from them; if you are weaker, avoid them. Therefore, the strength of a small enemy can lead to the capture of a large enemy."
"Based on the number of banners on the city walls, I estimate that the garrison in Fuling City is at most five thousand. The best strategy is to besiege the city without attacking. Once the city's food supplies are exhausted, Fuling City will fall without a fight."
"But now, speed is of the essence. The reinforcements from Dali will arrive in three months at most. The Left Wise King's troops are all cavalry and not good at attacking cities. If Dali divides its forces to defend, it will be difficult to break through the city."
"Therefore, in my opinion, we must launch a fierce attack on the Left Wise King of Fuling City at all costs!"
"After the fall of Fuling, we can take advantage of the great victory to divide our forces and push forward. After the city is captured, we can gather the prisoners and form another army."
"Then, the captured infantry will be used to attack the city, while the cavalry will follow behind to supervise. This strategy of using the enemy to their advantage will succeed, and the Left Wise King will be able to advance south step by step."
"Even if reinforcements from Dali arrive by then, our army's momentum will be unstoppable, and we will have nothing to fear!"
