After Wang Meng was taken back, he was treated by a military doctor and finally woke up. The first thing he said when he woke up was to send someone to rescue General Xie as soon as possible.
"General Xie was captured by the Second Prince of Beimo."
"What? General Xie was arrested."
"I think we shouldn't wait any longer. We should just fight Bei Mo to the death."
"You're talking lightly, but don't you care about the people in the city?"
"But with our 300,000-strong army, are we really afraid of the mere 100,000 troops of the Northern Desert?"
Having said this, the deputy generals present were silent. They knew very well that although Beimo had only 100,000 soldiers, 80,000 of them were cavalry, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
You should know that the Northern Desert war horses have always had advantages over the Central Desert horses. The Desert cavalry can quickly cross the terrain on horseback and are not restricted by the climate. They are very suitable for long-distance raids and can be quickly deployed on the battlefield.
Moreover, during the battle between the two sides, the huge impact force generated by the heavy cavalry when charging can directly destroy the enemy line, especially for the infantry, which can easily break through the defense line.
In addition, cavalry can flexibly adjust tactics according to actual conditions, and they do have strong adaptability on the battlefield.
If they really fought regardless of the consequences, the final outcome would be uncertain. This was also the reason why they had tolerated the Northern Desert soldiers shouting and cursing under the city wall.
Another point is that they are indeed short of food and supplies. If they really go to war with Beimo, they cannot guarantee that they can win in one go.
But if they have to fight a protracted war, they really won't be able to hold on for long.
"But even if we hold on like this, how long can we hold on?"
"Everyone knows this is true. Now General Xie has captured Beimo's prisoners again. No matter what, there will be a battle in the end. Why not seize the opportunity to fight Beimo while their morale remains strong?"
The majority of people were calling for a decisive battle with Beimo. In the end, everyone unanimously agreed to stop holding out and truly confront Beimo to rescue General Xie.
Having made the decision, everyone took action.
Soon the army was assembled, and the atmosphere in Beiling City instantly became more serious. The people also knew that a war was about to break out, so in order not to cause trouble for the army, they all stayed at home, and no one was walking around the streets.
In such a solemn atmosphere, a war is about to break out.
Beimo shamelessly used the tactics of his former prime minister again, having people cook meat and food. The aroma drifted into the city and into the army of Beiling City on the wind.
Although this method is shameless, it is effective. The garrison in Beiling City has not had a full meal for more than 20 days and has been suffering from hunger every day. When they suddenly smell the tempting fragrance, they can't help but can't help themselves.
However, these soldiers were all trained by Xie Ruiyuan himself, and they had great patience. Even though they were growling with hunger and wanted to have a big meal immediately, no soldier showed it, and they all stood upright.
They were all holding their breath and wanted to vent it, and the Beimo soldiers were the best targets for venting their anger. They were now just waiting for the order from their commander.
