After Lu Bu did all this, he put down his bow and arrow, and the generals were speechless.
Even the second prince who was scolded did not dare to blame Lu Bu anymore. Lu Bu was now the source of morale.
However, although it looks calm on the surface, there are actually undercurrents, and each general has his own ideas.
This has nothing to do with Lu Bu, just fight this battle.
Even if he doesn't make any contributions in the future, it will be enough for him to live on for the rest of his life.
But is this possible?
After this incident, the Qiang people did not challenge each other again because they knew they could not gain any advantage and were really scared by Lu Bu.
If it happens again, morale will probably plummet.
However, he still tried to attack the city by force several times, hoping to capture Wuwei.
However, even when the second prince had not yet arrived.
They have never achieved anything, and now it is the same, they are blocked outside Wuwei City.
They did not have any effective siege weapons, so it was basically impossible for them to attack Wuwei head-on.
For such a fortified city, one must either break through from the inside or lay siege until the city runs out of food and supplies.
However, these two methods are no longer possible for the Qiang people today.
Seeing Dagan's large army slowly approaching, Zuo Xian Wang knew that they were no match for Dagan's main force in a field battle, so he had no choice but to retreat.
They wanted to retreat into the city and defend it to the death. Dagan's army came from afar and would withdraw if they failed to capture the city for a long time.
This is the truth they have summed up many times when facing the big gun...and it is also their only chance of victory now.
The city on the Qiang border is called Wencheng, one of the few cities of the Qiang people.
It was also built according to the standards of a large city and looks quite sturdy.
It’s not that easy to break through.
Now the offense and defense have switched, it depends on how Da Gan performs.
At this moment in the main tent, Huaihua General Li Yue was discussing strategies to defeat the enemy with the second prince.
The two held different opinions. Li Yue advocated a cautious approach, which was to first capture Wencheng and then move on to the Liang Kingdom court.
The second prince wanted to divide his troops into two groups, one of which would surround the area without attacking, thus drawing the main force of the Qiang people here.
The other part goes to the royal court to decide the outcome of the battle.
Since the royal court has no city, it still has a certain chance.
Of course, this is what the Second Prince wants to do to restore his reputation, if he can capture King Liang and break into the royal court.
I have accomplished great things, and there is no need to mention what happened before.
“Coach, although this method is feasible, it also carries considerable risks.
We are the King's Army. We have sufficient logistical supplies and siege equipment is being assembled. There is no need to do this.
Moreover, although the Liang Kingdom’s royal court had no city walls, it was heavily guarded.
If we fail to capture the city after a long attack, we will be surrounded by the surrounding supporting forces. Under such pressure, the logistical supply will be under great pressure."
Huaihua General Li Yue explained again that although the second prince was the commander.
But everyone knows that it was just an excuse.
The decision maker of the entire army is actually Li Yue. After all, winning will gild the Second Prince.
Li Yue didn't care about this, since he was working for Daigan anyway.
But if you continue to give orders recklessly and lose the battle, you will be the one to take the blame. This is absolutely unacceptable.
With Li Yue's status, he didn't need to be too accommodating to the Second Prince in front of him...
He was loyal to Emperor Da Gan, not the Second Prince in front of him.
With his supreme Grandmaster cultivation and the title of Great General, he has the capital to choose not to take sides.
Seeing that the Second Prince was not very satisfied, Li Yue still gave him a way out:
“However, Your Highness’s suggestion is very good.
We can send out cavalry to harass the surrounding Qiang tribes.
Distract the royal court, or have the Left Wise King dispatch troops, giving us a chance to capture the city."
Li Yue was a former personal soldier of the Emperor Da Gan. He only remembered that he almost died in a canyon ambushed by the Huns because of His Majesty's reckless advance.
If Xue Da had not led the cavalry to rescue, the situation of Da Gan might not have been like this.
After that, Emperor Dagan rarely led troops in person.
However, he had read a lot of military books, and sometimes he liked to brag to generals like them about the messy formations he had studied.
But most of them just made people laugh, and they were never forced to use those strange formations.
The appearance of the Second Prince in front of him was almost exactly the same as that of the former Emperor Dagan.
Did he really inherit all of Emperor Dagan's military prowess? This couldn't be a good thing...
Without going to a real battlefield, you will never know how a person commands.
The second prince in front of him thought that those Qiang people were the robbers who were wiped out in the past?
Li Yue has rich combat experience, so he naturally would not let the second prince take risks.
If he dies, then there is no point in playing.
"I only need a small group of cavalry and try one or two." The second prince said again, and he didn't seem to give up.
"No, Your Highness, there must be 50,000 to 60,000 troops in the Qiang royal court.
There was no way that several thousand cavalry could break through the defense.
What's more, there are still many strong people in Xiaoliang, so doing this would be risky.
If that is the case, you can let a general try, but Your Highness should not put yourself in danger.
A general should plan and fight a sure-win battle to capture the city, rather than displaying his personal prowess."
Li Yue clicked on the map, indicating the surrounding terrain and the defense of the Qiang royal court.
