Xiang Yu was so fierce that he was completely terrified.
But Uesugi Kenshin couldn't say anything, so he could only shout sternly, "Shut up, all of you!"
The military conference turned into a blame-shifting session.
As the head coach of Dongpango, how could he not be angry?
Kuroda Hanbei also rushed out to persuade them, "Please calm down, everyone!" He asked, "Just how many soldiers has the Great Xia lost?"
As a strategist and a renowned general in the East Pango, Kuroda Hanbei knew that now was not the time to assign blame or shift responsibility.
The most urgent task is to analyze the reasons for today's crushing defeat and prepare for the battles to come!
The pressure fell on the man who was giving the report. "This..." He lowered his head and stammered, "Our troops withdrew too quickly and didn't have time to look."
"Then let's estimate it!" Kuroda Hanbei said anxiously.
"Probably... two or three thousand people!"
Upon hearing this, Kuroda Hanbei was completely taken aback. "What did you say? Two or three thousand men?"
"Our army lost 80,000, while the Great Xia only lost two or three thousand?"
"How is that possible?"
Kuroda Hanbei muttered to himself.
All the generals who participated in the battle lowered their heads subconsciously. They all knew that the number of two or three thousand was definitely an exaggeration!
In fact, they did not eliminate that many Xia soldiers at all!
Seeing this, Kuroda Hanbei, the strategist, was completely speechless. This was a situation he had never encountered in his entire life!
How could he analyze such a result? How could he formulate the next operational plan?
They clearly had far superior military strength compared to the enemy.
They clearly held an absolute geographical advantage.
They had clearly deployed their most proficient and flexible Crane Wing Formation.
All the generals were clearly famous generals from Dongpan.
Why?
Why did we lose so badly?
"Could the intelligence be wrong?" Kuroda Hanbei tried to calm himself down. "What kind of troops are they? What tactics do they use? What kind of weapons do they have?"
He wanted to gather some useful information to find a solution.
"Disarray!" Fukushima Masakatsu exclaimed. "Black-armored cavalry, plus nomadic-style archer cavalry, charge forward like this!"
"Their weapons are varied, including longbows and charging spears," Uesugi Kenkatsu added. "And they also have arrows that are hard to understand... exploding arrows!"
Kuroda Hanbei felt increasingly uneasy the more he listened.
At this moment, if he were an Earthling, he would definitely ask, "You mean, the other side is cheating?"
"How can this be so outrageous?"
Uesugi Kenkatsu grew angrier as he listened, his fists already clenched.
"I, Uesugi Kenkatsu, have fought on the battlefield for decades and have never been invincible. I have never suffered such a defeat in my life!"
"But today, this brat..."
At this point, he couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.
"I've made my decision!" Uesugi Kenshin abruptly stood up. "Pass on my order: we're going to find Lin Mo..."
Upon hearing this, the generals couldn't help but gasp. "Is this a desperate attempt to fight Lin Mo?"
"General Uesugi, you must not act rashly!" Kuroda Hanbei advised.
"No, my mind is made up!" Uesugi Kenshin said, "Go find Lin Mo and negotiate peace!"
Kuroda Hanbei, "..."
The other generals were left bewildered.
