Although Yu Tai was completely confused, he was still very happy that the enemy had retreated.
They suffered no casualties and their original attack plan was not disrupted.
It just requires some time to allow all the troops to regroup.
Such a result was a great surprise to Yu Tai.
"General Yu, do you think the enemy is stalling for time?"
At this time, Lou Yi took the initiative to ask.
"I don't know either."
Yu Tai shook his head slightly, "But I think that if the enemy delays any further, it will only delay for half an hour at most. I can't think of the significance of the enemy delaying for such a short time."
"Yeah! I'm confused too!" Lou Yi's face was a little confused.
"Forget it if you can't figure it out. Maybe the enemy is deliberately disrupting our vision."
...
...
Yu Tai did not dwell on this question, and instead said seriously: "Your Highness, I think that our two departments should work together and not fight alone. Otherwise, I'm afraid the enemy will find a chance to defeat us one by one!"
Work together?
Lou Yi was slightly stunned, then he said with a smile: "General Yu, what are you talking about? Haven't our two departments always been working together?"
"I hope so!" Yu Tai forced a smile.
Lou Yi looked at Yu Tai suspiciously.
As he was thinking, Lou Yi's heart suddenly jumped and he exclaimed: "I know the enemy's purpose!"
"oh?"
Yu Tai was surprised, "What did your highness see?"
Lou Yi showed a hint of understanding on his face, and said in a deep voice: "The enemy deliberately pretended to attack your army, just to make me not send troops to support your army, so as to create a rift between us and cause resentment between us!"
Is that so?
Yu Tai thought silently for a while, then nodded and said, "Your Highness's guess is not unreasonable!"
"That must be it!"
Lou Yi was confident and said seriously, "Just now I didn't send troops to support you in order to defend the front line and not give the enemy a chance to destroy our catapults. General Yu, please don't think too much, otherwise, we will fall into the enemy's trap!"
"Um."
Yu Tai nodded slightly. "However, if this happens again next time, I still hope that we can work together! Imagine if the enemy army was not feinting just now, but really attacking, and Your Highness did not send troops to support, with only the few troops I have, I will definitely suffer heavy losses..."
Yu Tai didn't know whether Lou Yi intended to use the Beifu Army to consume Qiu Chi's strength.
But he still felt somewhat dissatisfied because Lou Yi had been keeping silent just now.
However, they were allies now, so he couldn't say too much.
"General Yu, I really don't have any other thoughts."
Lou Yi felt helpless and explained, "It's not that I don't want to send troops to support, but I have to consider the entire battle situation! You and I are both generals. You should be able to see the consequences of us opening the middle gate..."
"I understand."
Yu Tai nodded, but he was a little unconvinced.
He simply didn't believe that anyone in the alliance between the two countries had no selfish motives.
Before this, Lou Yi had already implicitly expressed his intention to recruit him.
Combined with what happened just now, he couldn't help but wonder whether Lou Yi had plans to annex Qiuchi's army.
At present, Qiuchi’s military strength is at a disadvantage compared to that of Dayue Kingdom.
If they suffer heavy losses today and lose more troops in subsequent attacks, their military strength will be even less than that of the Dayue Kingdom.
After spending these days together, he had already seen that Lou Yi was definitely a very capable and ambitious person.
If that time really comes, who can guarantee that Lou Yi will not annex Qiuchi’s army?
Put yourself in his shoes. If he were Lou Yi, could he hold back and not annex Qiu Chi’s army?
The answer is obviously no!
Lou Yi guessed that Yu Tai still had concerns, so he immediately tried to persuade him: "General Yu, we can't fall into the enemy's trap! You see, my troops were ambushed by people wearing Qiu Chi's armor, but I don't doubt General Yu!"
"Your Highness, why do you have to do this? I can see this clearly." Yu Tai laughed, "But Your Highness, if we have two separate divisions to command, there will still be some problems with the coordination of the divisions! How do we solve this problem?"
How to solve it?
Lou Yi smiled bitterly in his heart.
There is absolutely no solution to this problem.
It was impossible for him to hand over the army of Dayue to Yu Tai for command, and it was impossible for Yu Tai to hand over the army of Qiuchi to him for command.
Although they all knew the disadvantages of separate command, they were unable to solve this problem at all.
If the Northern Army wants to break through the frontal defense, it will definitely have to pay with lives.
Who can guarantee that if you hand over your troops to the enemy, the other side will not take your lives to pay for it?
“There is no way to solve this problem.”
Lou Yi shook his head and sighed, "The best we can do is reach a consensus and attack in one direction each!"
Yu Tai was quite satisfied with Lou Yi's answer.
He certainly knew that this problem could not be solved.
He was just testing Lou Yi.
If Lou Yi asked him to hand over the command of the Qiuchi army to Lou Yi, then he would really have to be careful and wary of Lou Yi.
"Too."
Yu Tai smiled bitterly, "Forget it, let's not think about these things! Let's continue the attack according to the original plan! As long as we break through the enemy's front line of defense, all problems will be solved."
"Yes!"
Lou Yi smiled and nodded, "Although the enemy's trick just now was very good, it can also be seen that the enemy's troops are indeed small and they dare not fight us at all! As long as we don't fight among ourselves, next, they still have to find a way to destroy our catapults!"
"Your Highness, what you said makes sense!"
Yu Tai nodded and immediately ordered Qiu Chi’s troops to readjust their formation and return to their previous state.
After more than half an hour, everything returned to its previous state.
As Lou Yi and Yu Tai issued orders at the same time, the soldiers of both sides slowly advanced forward again.
At the gap in the front city wall, the Northern Army's defensive force has turned into infantrymen ready for battle.
"It seems that the enemy doesn't dare to destroy our catapults!"
Lou Yi looked at Yu Tai with a smile, "In that case, let's let them experience the power of our catapults first."
"good!"
Yu Tai also smiled.
They would naturally be happy if the enemy did not come to destroy the catapults.
They just used catapults to smash the enemy's city wall slowly. After a few rounds, the enemy's city wall would eventually collapse.
If we just attack the defenders at the gap, we will surely kill a lot of enemy soldiers.
Neither of them had any objection on this point.
As they continued to get closer, the troops guarding the catapults entered the range of 300 meters.
Just as they were about to move forward and find a place to secure the catapult, several large stones suddenly flew out from behind the city wall in front of them.
Looking at the flying stones, the smiles on Yu Tai and Lou Yi's faces suddenly froze...
