"We shouldn't wait like this any longer, we might as well take everyone to conquer Soth City. And we are simply wasting time here and giving the Ottomans time to mobilize their armies. “

"That's, that's it, I support this proposal. We should attack Soth, not waste wasted time here. “

"I heard that the Ottomans have begun to mobilize a large army, and it will not be long before we face them. And now we are short of weapons and food, and if we can conquer Soth, we will be able to get these things. “

"Your proposals are, what are we going to do to attack the city of South. You know, that city is a military stronghold in the northern part of the Ottomans, and there is no way for us to conquer it. Rather than die in vain, it is better to stay here and wait for the other rebel legions to arrive. “

"Yes, as you said, we are short of weapons and food. Without these, would we attack Soth with our own flesh and blood? If that's the case, I'm sure that even if all of us were dead, we wouldn't have been able to take Soth. “

"Look at our army, although it looks like there are 300,000 young people. But no one knows what these people are thinking. If the attack goes well, they can continue to follow us. But if the attack is frustrated, then they will definitely abandon us, and by that time we will really have nothing. “

"It's not going to work, that's not going to work, so what's going to happen? Judging by the current situation, we will not be able to fight against the Ottoman elite no matter what. Instead of waiting here to die, it's better to go to Soth and fight, if it succeeds......"

The military generals of the rebel army are in the big tent, and the dispute between you and me is very fierce.

Broadly speaking, they are now divided into two factions.

One faction advocated leading all the current rebel armies. Attack the northern Ottoman military town of Sos.

After all, now the entire northern region is in turmoil, and there are no troops capable of attacking the rebels on their own initiative.

This is an opportunity for them and for their benefit.

Therefore, attacking the city of Soth, everyone will not be attacked by other Ottoman armies.

In addition, there is a large amount of food and weapons in the city of Soth, which can alleviate the lack of food for the rebel army if it is conquered, as well as obtain a large number of weapons and equipment for the existing legions.

You know, don't look at the entire rebel army now there are five or six hundred thousand people.

However, this includes the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, as well as children.

Except for the words of these people. At least half of the number.

At the same time, even the remaining half of the men, among them, there were not many people with iron weapons, which accounted for about 20% of the total number of legions.

The rest of the people were armed with sticks and dung forks, or simply with their bare hands.

How could such an army be able to fight against the elite Ottoman legions, armed to the teeth.

Anyone who is awake can recognize this.

The reason why the rebels are still able to be so 'leisurely' is because there are not too many Ottoman troops in the whole north, and because of the riots. The Ottoman army stationed in the north is strangled with other small groups of insurgents.

Moreover, these Ottoman armies were too few to compete with the numerous rebel legions.

But. By the time the Ottoman army arrived, this would not be the case.

At the same time, in the area of Bu Cateres, a large number of insurgents gathered. This led to a starting shortage of food. It simply can't meet the needs of so many people.

It is not surprising at all that they have not seriously conquered a city since the uprising.

Reaching the sky, that is, breaking through several villages and towns. A small amount of supplies was obtained.

Moreover, he defeated the northern legions sent by the Ottoman Empire to suppress the uprising.

But those legions are not elite at all, to put it bluntly, they are militias in the north of the Ottoman Empire, and their combat effectiveness is not high at all.

Compared with the elite Ottoman legions that are being prepared now, the northern legions defeated by the rebels are just five scum of war.

If you want to fight against such an elite legion, then the rebels must now equip themselves with sophisticated weapons and armor, and have the following tactics well developed.

At the same time, there must be enough supplies to supply them for the rest of the battle.

But all this is what the insurgents lacked.

Neither weapons nor food, the insurgents did not have it.

In this regard, the leaders of the uprising gathered together started a heated discussion.

And now, in addition to the lack of weapons, armor and food, they have a great disadvantage for these insurgents.

That is, they do not have a fixed territory, and they cannot provide them with an endless supply of supplies.

Not at all like the Ottoman Empire, where the army would be adequately guaranteed by the state.

This is quite a disadvantageous situation for the insurgents.

It is for this reason that some of the leaders of the rebel army felt that they should also conquer a city as a base. In the end, the big guy chose the military town of Sos in the north.

However, half of the people were in favor of this proposal, and the other half were very opposed.

The reason is also very simple, Soth City is not so easy to conquer.

As the military stronghold of the Ottoman Empire in the north, the city of Sos was well defended and had an ample garrison.

Although it can't be compared to the number of rebels, it is still possible to defend the city.

If the rebels have sophisticated weapons and combat equipment, then attacking the city of Soth is certainly a good choice.

However, it is these things that the rebel army lacks now.

What's more, there is a shortage of food.

If the attack on Soth had been bogged down for a long time, it would have put the entire rebel legion in a very troubled situation.

If you attack a city like this, you need at least besieged alms.

Do you want a siege ladder?

Do you want a heavy crash?

Obviously, attacking such a city cannot be done in a day or two.

So, at least you need enough food for everyone to eat for half a month, right?

But now, the food in the entire rebel army is only enough for everyone to eat for three days.

Moreover, this is still in the case of one person eating one meal a day. It only lasted three days.

Therefore, it is not undesirable that someone will disagree with the proposal to attack Soth.

However, the situation is already very bad for everyone.

If they don't come up with a solution, they will collapse without a fight without waiting for the Ottoman army to come and suppress it.

That is, now the rebel army looks strong, but in fact it is not like that at all.

It is a very appropriate word to describe them.

As the supreme leader elected by everyone, Siwicks was very distressed.

Because his heart is also very conflicted now, so he doesn't know which one to choose.

It's like two people are saying it. There are only two paths in front of him.

However, no matter which path he takes, there are basically some unpredictable and unbearable consequences that will happen.

Attacking the city of Soth is likely to be defeated, which in turn will lead to the rout of the army.

Once that time comes, they will never end well.

The Ottomans were not good stubble, and they would have caught them and tortured them to death.

As for how to torture?

Oh, don't think about it.

Instead of attacking Soth, wait until three days later the food runs out. Then the same army will be scattered.

The rebel army that has gathered now is not very united at all.

Everyone has some selfish intentions.

The reason why they are united now is because they have a common enemy.

However, no one knows for sure. Will there be some traitors then.

Or, some people will take their legions and leave the big guys to find their own way out.

In this regard, Siwicks has a very clear understanding.

And right in West Wicks for the choice. Just as he was faced with a difficult choice, a ragged herald ran in and shouted, "Chief." Out came a businessman who claimed to be Portuguese and he said he could solve the problem we were facing now. “

What the!?

The words of this herald made everyone in the tent like a vegetable market suddenly quiet down.

Everyone's eyes widened at the herald.

Maybe it was that he had never been watched by so many people, or maybe these leaders, who didn't know what to do before, already had the momentum of some of the superiors, but in short, the herald began to cramp.

"You know what you're talking about?"

The herald shook his head: "This is what the Portuguese merchant asked me to say, and he said that if I say this to the chief, then the chief will naturally understand the meaning." “

The herald, of course, didn't know what was going on.

That businessman to solve the problem?

What's wrong with the Great Army?

This is simply.

Now that the rebels are so strong that even the Ottomans don't care, how can it be like the merchant said there is a problem?

However, for the sake of the two gold coins, I said it as they were told.

Yes, the serious problems facing the rebel army are known only to the top leaders. And this matter was not spread by them.

These leaders were also very clear about the situation in the rebel army.

If you stupidly spread the news, then the people who gathered together in a few days will flee in large numbers, and it will be very troublesome at that time.

Retracting his gaze from the herald's face, the big guys all looked at Sywicks.

"Let him in, I'd like to hear what trouble we have for him to solve."

Siwicks was also very curious about this, and in his heart, a glimmer of hope slowly ignited.

Perhaps, if this person sees it, it is not necessary that something unexpected can really happen.

Siwicks thought to himself. (To be continued......)
