Chapter 876: Gu Jun Meeting

"General Dong, if you have anything to say, "When is it now, there are still people selling Guanzi, and a general who hasn't spoken really can't stand it."

"Our army currently has 180,000 men, of which one-tenth are wounded, and only 160,000 can take part in the battle. But because of the hurried march for several days, the soldiers have not been able to get enough rest, and they have not been able to recover for a long time, and now they are excessively lacking in morale, and the combat strength of 160,000 people may only be half of the usual," After a pause, the general surnamed Dong said again: "Lin Xuanzhong is not the kind of person who has courage and no strategy, although there are not many people brought this time, but they are all elites. ”

"When the night army was trapped in Yangguo before, there was no situation where people fled the camp in such a bad situation, so it is conceivable that the night army soldiers were convinced of Lin Xuanzhong. After leaving Yangguo, Lin Xuanzhong led the army from the most difficult route to the fastest speed outside Xingcheng, and later even the monarch abandoned the city, it can be said that the night army led by Lin Xuanzhong was united and invincible. ”

"Although they have few people now, they have the advantage of defending the city, and the 30,000 night army cannot confront our 160,000 troops at the same time, and our army has no siege equipment, and the only way to attack the city is to blast open the city gate, and the way to attack the city is limited. Unless some generals take the lead in attacking the city and then forcibly open the door from the inside, but in the opinion of the general, the purpose of the night army erecting so many ballistae is to deal with our generals, if our side forcibly attacks the city, what do you think are the chances of victory?"

The general surnamed Dong glanced at the others in the tent so that the others could more easily understand their current situation.

"That night army can indeed be regarded as elite, but they may not be fully prepared for the short time after they occupy Star Chasing City," not long after, a general of the main battle followed: "General Dong, you also said that the formation of the night army is very likely to be a bluff, if this is the case, once our army attacks with all its strength, according to the general's opinion, our army has at least six or seven percent chance of winning." ”

"General Xing is right, we have 160,000 troops, if we can't defeat the 30,000 night army, wouldn't it be shameful to spread it?"

"I also agree with General Xing's opinion. ”

"Why don't you fight if you can?"

In the blink of an eye, three more high-ranking Gu Army officials expressed their willingness to start a war with the Night Army.

"General Xing, this general asks you, if our army successfully attacks Star Chasing City, what will happen after that?" Seeing that there were still many people who supported General Xing's opinion on the main battle, General Dong raised his eyebrows and looked directly at General Xing.

"After that?" General Xing's face froze, unable to answer General Dong's question, because he hadn't thought about what would happen after the siege.

Seeing that General Xing unexpectedly failed to give an answer, General Dong naturally thought that General Xing, like the few people who supported him, was courageous, but slightly lacking in resourcefulness. In General Dong's opinion, the situation after the siege was easy to consider, once they forcibly attacked Star Chasing City, at that time, the situation would be worse than if they had stayed outside the city.

"If the night army is only stopping at the city to deter us and others, and has no real intention of fighting our army, can we scare them away by feints?" The previous topic could not be continued, and a general, in a dilemma, thought of a situation that he thought might happen.

"If this is the case, then it means that the Night Army did not actually give us a chance to submit, but only used a trick to lead us into the trap they had set up," the general surnamed Dong's eyes flashed, and he immediately refuted the foolish opinion of his companions.

"Then what else can we do?" General Dong's words suddenly made the faces of more than a dozen generals in the big tent heavy, according to their understanding, General Dong was just saying that now they are not fighting, and they are not fighting, except for the return to the night army is to disarm and surrender, there is no other choice at all.

"Do you think our army can take a long detour and withdraw directly from the east without entangling with the night army?" After discussing the problem of confronting the night army head-on, someone came up with a new idea.

"Star Chasing City is the only way for us to flee south, there are mountains in the west of Star Chasing City, and there is a river in the east, if we take a detour, our army still needs to return to the original road for a distance, and then go from the east, but it takes too long to bypass Star Chasing City, and as long as the Lei Army in the back walks from Star Chasing City, it can easily intercept us at that time, so it is not wise to take a long detour," General Dong had already seen the problem thoroughly, and quickly overturned another idea.

The Gu army and the Lei army had been fighting for a certain time before, and they had been in a stalemate at first, but now because of the relationship between the Five Nations Alliance, the morale of the Lei army has risen greatly, breaking the deadlock in one fell swoop, and defeating the Gu army in the west of the valley country.

On the other hand, the morale of the Gu army is getting lower and lower because there are still two night armies in the territory, and now it has been completely suppressed by the Lei army after fleeing south for a few days in a row, from the distance between the two sides getting closer and closer, the morale of the Lei army has been improving, in General Dong's view, they have fallen into the current situation and the situation within the valley country has a lot to do with it, but now is not the time to consider the situation in the valley country, General Dong feels that all of them should be in the current situation of the valley army, if they are against the Lei army again, there is no chance of winning.

Now because of General Dong's remarks, everyone in the big tent has understood their difficulties, they can't advance, they can't retreat, and the night army only gives them two choices, not because the night army is not thoughtful, but because they only have two options to choose from, so it seems that the night army has actually been calculating them for a long time. After thinking about this, Hong Tianqi, the commander of the Gu army, and all the generals already understood that the night army was deliberately trying to put them in their current situation.

"What do you think of General Dong's statement?" When everyone in the big tent fell silent, Hong Tianqi glanced at all the generals, thinking that the time had come for them to make a decision.

According to Hong Tianqi's considerations, at present, they are not sure whether the Night Army is willing to fight with them on the one hand, and on the other hand, there is no news from the Gu Emperor's side. Since learning the news of Gu Huang's escape to the south, the two sides have cut off contact, and Hong Tianqi and the others don't know what the situation is in Gu Huang. Due to the blockage of news, the intention of the night army to force them to submit is even more prominent, and Hong Tianqi is already considering whether to return to the night army.

"Why don't I wait to surrender to the night army first, and then make plans after getting in touch with the king?" Facing Hong Tianqi's inquiry, it didn't take long for another general to make a suggestion.

"We have 180,000 people in our army, and it is too difficult to get so many people to speak in unison. At that time, if someone is killed by the night army, resulting in a leak of news, we, the generals, will be controlled by the night army as soon as possible, which is not feasible. ”

"Why don't we surrender directly to the Night Army, and then return to our respective hometowns as civilians, and then gather together to deal with the Night Army when the Emperor calls us, I will feel that with the Night Army's style, we will not break our word. ”

"I'm afraid that by then, the country of Gu will no longer exist, and there will be no weapons, how will we confront the country of night in the future, will we be like the country of wings, and when the country of Gu is about to be annexed, will all parts of the country rebel?"

"What do you think is the difference between the rebellion at that time and the direct fight with the Night Army now? Another point, now that the Night Country is powerful, do you think that the local forces that have been subordinated to the Night Country will be willing to contribute people and money to support us?"

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, let's just return to the Night Country, anyway, even if we join up with the king, we won't be able to defeat the Night Country," the meeting has been going on so far, and no one has put forward a suggestion in their favor, and a short-tempered general really can't bear it anymore and doesn't want others to talk about it.

"General Zhao, returning to the night army is treason, aren't you afraid of losing your head?" Immediately after, a general who was unwilling to return to the night country immediately refuted.

"Cheng, I don't care about today's affairs, what you decide to do, I will follow what you do," the general surnamed Zhao knew that he was speechless, and immediately changed his words in front of Hong Tianqi.

"It's all up to the marshal and the generals to decide," the result was led by General Zhao, and the other people who couldn't make up their minds gave up their right to speak and handed over the decision to Hong Tianqi and those commanders. The actions of these generals undoubtedly mean that they already have the idea of returning to the Night Kingdom, but they have not said it explicitly.

At the same time, Hong Tianqi and those main generals all looked solemn, when they realized that the generals below had the intention of returning to the night army, they had no choice but to think in this direction, and the meeting finally reached a turning point. I don't know how long it will take for the top brass of the Gu Army to make a decision, but the results of the meeting have already moved in the direction of the Night Army. Speaking of which, the reason why Lin Xuanzhong did not limit the time given to Gu Jun to think about it was because he wanted Gu Jun's top management to think clearly.

Time passed little by little, and in the night army camp, the 30,000 night soldiers who were familiar with the plan all had a hunting mentality. If the Gu army voluntarily gives up resistance, they will annex the Gu army according to the plan. If the Gu army chooses to resist, they will fight the Gu army. If the Gu army withdraws, the next thing will be the responsibility of the Lei army. All the choices that Gu Jun could make were in the calculations of the Night Army, considering that Lin Xuanzhong's plan had great benefits and risks, many people thought that Lin Xuanzhong could create a miracle again. Of course, if Lin Xuanzhong's plan to subdue Gu Jun failed, Lin Xuanzhong's prestige in their minds would not be affected, but the next thing would be a little troublesome.

At present, the morale of the night army is strong, and the materials for defending the city are quite abundant, even if the Gu army is attacking the city with all its might, the night army is still confident to hold out for a while. All in all, everything is normal on the side of the Night Army, and although there is a possibility of fighting the Gu Army, no one is afraid of it.
