"Therefore, we must find a way to delay the enemy and buy more time for General Yue."
Lu Ping said slowly.
After hearing Lu Ping's words, everyone fell into deep thought.
"My lord, there are at least 130,000 or 140,000 enemy troops outside the city, including 40,000 cavalry."
"Even if we delay the counterattack for two days and eliminate another 30,000 to 40,000 enemy troops, there will still be 100,000 left, which is not a small number."
"Especially since they still have 40,000 cavalry. If the enemy lord only leads the cavalry to retreat, it will be difficult for us to stop them, unless the lord uses the cavalry under General Su's command."
Mu Guiying stood up and said.
"Well, General Mu is right. I have considered this as well."
"Of course, cavalry needs cavalry to deal with it. I will inform General Su about this matter and let him take charge of the enemy cavalry."
"But besides the cavalry, what about the remaining infantry?"
Lu Ping asked again.
"My lord, the remaining infantry are actually easy to deal with."
Hearing this, Li Jing stood up and said.
"Hey, what do you mean?"
Hearing Li Jing say this, Lu Ping immediately became energetic.
"My lord, if the enemy is retreating, we must certainly stop them. But if we can't stop them, that's fine. We can just follow them and give chase."
"Infantry moves slowly, and with us chasing and intercepting them, their marching speed will definitely not be fast."
"Six hundred miles will take at least ten days. This gives us ample opportunity to eliminate them bit by bit."
"Even if some can be withdrawn, General Yue can still send troops to intercept them."
"So it's not really an issue at all."
"Besides, interception is only one aspect. We can start from other areas."
"For example, when General Yue launches his attack, the enemy will inevitably be thrown into chaos. This is an opportunity..."
As Li Jing slowly spoke, Lu Ping's thoughts were immediately opened up.
All the generals suddenly understood.
"General Li is truly a man of talent, hahahaha!"
When Li Jing finished his narration, Lu Ping burst into laughter.
Li Jing is worthy of being the military god of the Tang Dynasty. Lu Ping really made a profit by recruiting Li Jing.
"Generals, you have all heard General Li's plan."
"Well, do you have anything else to add?"
Lu Ping asked everyone with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong and others looked at each other.
They all spoke.
………
In less than half an hour, a new plan was drawn up.
"Very good, now that the plan has been made, everyone should follow it."
Seeing that no one had any problem, Lu Ping made the decision directly.
"I obey your command!"
The generals clasped their fists in unison and then left.
After everyone left, Lu Ping immediately sent a message to Su Dingfang, informing him of the entire plan and asking him to act at the right time.
After finishing everything, Lu Ping lay down to rest early.
…
The next morning, Lu Ping just woke up.
The enemy launched another attack, even more fiercely than yesterday.
Lu Ping understood that Iverson and the other two were trying to consume his own troops.
But what they don’t know is that Lu Ping also has the same purpose.
Lu Ping wished that the attack would be as fierce as possible so that he could kill more enemy troops.
The battle that day lasted until dusk and was extremely brutal.
At the end of the day, Lu Ping lost five thousand men.
But the enemy suffered greater losses, with at least 15,000 casualties.
Comparing the two, Lu Ping still got the better deal.
Lu Ping only hopes that tomorrow's attack will be more fierce.
The next day, the enemy intensified their attacks, with each wave becoming more powerful.
Lu Ping was not afraid at all and continued to advance steadily.
And just like that, two days passed.
In two days, Lu Ping eliminated a total of 30,000 enemy troops, with less than 10,000 casualties of his own.
Next, it’s time to launch a counterattack.
…
Late at night, Yue Fei led his army and quietly appeared not far from the city of Iverson.
But surprisingly, this army had only 90,000 cavalry, a full 30,000 less.
The defenders unexpectedly sent reinforcements, which greatly reduced the defensive strength in the city. Naturally, Yue Fei had to change his battle plan.
After careful consideration, Yue Fei decisively divided the army into two.
He personally led the main force and was responsible for attacking Iverson.
Bai Qi led an army of 30,000 to attack Lawrence.
It was obviously impossible for 30,000 people to capture Lawrence's main city, and Yue Fei did not think of it.
Yue Fei's purpose was very clear, which was to consume as much of the defenders' strength as possible and create greater advantages for the next battle.
Once Yue Fei takes down Iverson, he will immediately lead his troops to attack Lawrence.
In this way, by the time Yue Fei arrived with the main force, the defenders would have been almost exhausted, and it would not be impossible to capture the city in one battle.
I have to say, a famous general is a famous general.
His strategic height is far beyond the reach of ordinary generals.
Taking advantage of the night, the army quickly advanced to 300 meters outside the city.
"All troops, listen up! Attack!"
Seeing that the time had come, Yue Fei raised his arms and shouted.
With Yue Fei's order, 90,000 troops quickly launched a charge.
Because it was the second half of the night, and the enemy was completely unprepared.
When the enemy discovered the situation, Yue Fei's army had already arrived at the city.
At this time, there were only 3,000 defenders on the city wall.
Seeing this, the three thousand enemy troops suddenly panicked.
They hurriedly sent signals to the city and called for help.
“Kill!”
Seeing this, Yue Fei shouted and took the lead to climb the city wall.
“Kill~!”
Soon, accompanied by deafening shouts of killing, many soldiers climbed up the city walls and fought with the enemy.
The defenders in the city reacted quickly and organized a counterattack under the leadership of several generals.
For a moment, the two sides fought fiercely around the city wall.
At the same time, Bai Qi also launched an attack on Lawrence's main city.
At the same time, Lu Ping has made final preparations.
Outside the city, 30,000 cavalrymen led by Su Dingfang were on standby two miles away from the enemy.
Inside the city, 40,000 soldiers led by Huang Zhong and Mu Guiying were also ready to go.
These 40,000 soldiers were the maximum force Lu Ping could currently muster, so he only left 10,000 defenders in the city.
From the moment he received the news of Yue Fei's attack, Lu Ping was waiting for the moment when the enemy would retreat.
In the enemy camp, Iverson, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by the harsh system prompt sound.
Iverson, feeling somewhat unhappy, opened the system email and was instantly stunned.
His city was actually besieged by Lu Ping's army.
"How is this possible?"
"How come Lu Ping has so many troops?"
Iverson muttered to himself in disbelief, his face full of surprise, even panic.
He never expected that Lu Ping was so powerful that he could actually launch a counterattack while resisting the attack of the three-party coalition.
Not only that, Lu Ping deployed as many as 100,000 offensive troops, all of whom were heavy cavalry.
This is simply beyond imagination.
At this moment, Iverson was really panicked.
