He was worried that if this continued, big problems would arise.
In desperation.
Meng Jue once again summoned his generals to come up with a solution.
"My Lord, my opinion is very simple. Since Great Wei won't provoke a fight, then we should just attack the city. Dragging it out like this isn't going to work."
"Yes, Lord Barbarian, so many days have passed, and our soldiers are all bored out of their minds. I'm worried that their morale will be completely destroyed in a while."
"Barbarian Lord, give the orders. Although siege warfare is not our forte, isn't our goal to lure Wei troops out? We're not actually attacking the city."
The high-ranking officials of Baiyue discussed with each other, and their idea was very simple: to directly attack the city and force Wei to fight.
Because there is really no other way. If this continues, they will not be able to bear it.
"Barbarian Lord." At this time, Wang Lin stepped forward and said, "I think what you gentlemen said is correct. We must take action now because there are some problems with the food and supplies in the rear. If we delay any longer, we will be completely passive."
After holding back for so many days, the high-ranking officials of Baiyue could no longer bear it and wanted to attack the city directly.
Wang Lin, based on the current situation, agreed with this opinion.
What about Meng Jue?
Of course he knew this was the worst option, but there seemed to be no better way.
If we don't end this war quickly and resume normal trade with Wei, many people won't survive this winter...
"Alright, everyone, get ready tonight. Tomorrow morning, we'll challenge them, and then, while we're at it, we'll attack them." Meng Jue stood up, made his decision, and continued, "Remember, this time, our goal isn't to attack the city, but to draw out the Wei army. Therefore, we must plan our retreat route in advance. Understand?"
"Yes, I understand!"
When the senior officials of Baiyue present heard that the war could begin, they were all excited.
This is especially true for those who had experienced the previous battle. They originally planned to launch a surprise attack, but unexpectedly fell into an encirclement.
They have always felt aggrieved, and now that they can take the initiative, they are naturally excited and want to make up for all their previous losses.
Then, everyone started to make arrangements.
However, Meng Jue was a little worried.
The current situation seemed to be in his own hands, but in reality, he had been led by the nose by the Wei Dynasty since the last time. This feeling made him feel very uncomfortable and he wanted to make changes in time.
But Meng Jue didn't know what to do. It seemed that nothing he did would be of any use, and he could only go down this path.
He knew the specific reason very well. It was difficult to play the role of the Emperor of Wei because the Wei Dynasty had too much heritage.
The current Baiyue is no match at all.
But what can we do?
The Emperor of Wei led the army in person, which clearly showed that he wanted to wipe out the Baiyue. Otherwise, why would he come in person? Wouldn't it be enough to send some reinforcements to Zhennan Pass?
In fact, he had also thought about taking the army into the mountains and not confronting the Wei Dynasty head-on, but Meng Jue had to consider what Wang Lin said. What if the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty sent out the Champion Marquis?
So now I am in a dilemma and can only hope to survive in the war.
Soon, the next day, just after dawn, the Baiyue side began to challenge.
The defenders of Zhennan Pass have already adapted to this.
In fact.
They were also very angry, but since the superiors had given a death order, they could only ignore it and let it go.
But today was different from usual. Less than an incense stick of time after the Baiyue army had challenged the enemy, they began to assemble and then, under the leadership of the barbarian leader Meng Jue, launched a fierce attack.
The Baiyue were not good at siege warfare, but there were only a few ways for them to do it, such as breaking down doors and using cloud towers to climb up the city walls.
Therefore, it is not a difficult thing for them.
The commander of Zhennan Pass also reacted quickly.
Then after layers of reporting.
Lu An also heard the news that the Baiyue army was attacking the city, and he immediately became excited.
He had previously guessed that the Baiyue would eventually be unable to resist attacking the city due to food problems, but he did not expect that it would happen so soon.
Attacking the city is the worst option. I guess the Barbarian Lord has been forced into a corner.
Thinking of this, Lu An directly gave orders to defend the city gates and walls, but if they gained the advantage, they must not fight to the end and just repel the enemy soldiers. Therefore, the soldiers did not need to leave the city gates.
Of course, in order to prevent accidents, he also mobilized some manpower from other places to defend the city walls.
There is no way. His Majesty is in the city and nothing can happen.
Lu An's deployment of troops this time was for defense, not for active attack, so as the commander-in-chief, he still had the power to do so.
After completing this, he left the General's Mansion to look for Song Gongwen and Lin Yuansong. After all, the enemy had already taken the initiative to attack the city, so he wondered if he should report back to His Majesty and get his opinion.
However, after knowing Lu An's idea, Song Gongwen smiled and said that it was completely unnecessary.
The reason is very simple. His Majesty must want to waste the Baiyue people like this. Meng Jue's attack means that he has no other choice but to take action.
Considering that the war between the two sides has lasted for almost two months, the other side is definitely outlasted. Attacking now is just a bluff. Since it can achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost, why not do it?
In Song Gongwen's eyes, His Majesty would definitely not pay any attention to it and would only let the soldiers at Zhennan Pass prepare for defense.
As long as we persist, it is only a matter of time before we defeat the Baiyue.
