Linghu Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the caltrops were useful, the temporary pressure wouldn't be too great.
"General, the old general sent someone to ask if we need garrison troops to help with the guard."
"No, they just need to guard the north gate. There's no need to split up the troops."
"Once the north gate is lost, everything we do on the city wall will be in vain."
Linghu Xiaoshan answered quickly.
There are only their two armies guarding Tianyong City at the moment, and the garrison sounds like it has more than 3,000 people, but there are not many people who can go into battle and kill the enemy.
Once they broke through the city gate, they would face more than a thousand elite swordsmen and axemen led by Linghu Zheng.
"General."
"The prefect has organized the people and is coming here to provide support."
Hearing this, Linghu Xiaoshan held his forehead and gave the order after a little thought.
"Send the order, have them guard the east and west gates and cooperate with the Fengling Army defending the city."
In fact, the help of the people is a double-edged sword. The people have not received systematic training, and the weapons they hold are only farm tools and sticks. They are of no help at all in climbing the city wall.
They have never seen the bloodiness of a battlefield, and many of them will be frightened by such a scene, which will only affect the combat of the regular army.
Once they climb onto the city wall, if they are not careful, it will have a counterproductive effect.
As time went on, the battle became stalemate, and Zhongli Mei, the only one who remained with Linghu Xiaoshan, stepped forward.
"General, let me lead the cavalry and charge out."
"Divert some of them and relieve the pressure on the city defense."
Linghu Xiaoshan looked at him the same way.
"I don't agree. Going out now is no different from committing suicide."
"Dying on the battlefield isn't the best fate for military commanders like us."
"Besides, the battle is now at a stalemate. Relieving the pressure on the city walls will allow us to retain more troops for the subsequent counterattack."
"As long as the reinforcements arrive, we can attack from both sides?"
Zhongli Mei spoke sincerely.
He looked at Linghu Xiaoshan with extremely firm eyes, waiting for her decision.
