Chapter One Hundred and Eight, Retreat to Advance
After returning to the camp, everyone helped Zhou Tengyun to resettle his troops, they came to Wang Zhong's tent to discuss the next battle.
Due to the unfavorable development of the army, the atmosphere in the big tent was a bit solemn, but the road was already completed, so they could only look forward.
Wang Zhong looked at the five human lords sitting in the lower head. He cleared his throat and shared the information he had found.
"Everyone, according to the information collected by my werewolf scouts, Halle Loki's base camp is located thirty kilometers north of us.
The good news is that there is a lake there, so we no longer have to worry about the water source.
The bad news is that Halle Rocky's base has built a wall, but we don't carry equipment to siege, so if Halle Rocky's base is in the city, we have to fight a siege with him."
It turns out that the house was leaking and it rained all night long. Even if everyone beaten to death, they would never have expected that a werewolf lord would build a city with a wall on the prairie. Is this still the werewolf lord in the eyes of players?
You know, even the human lords are still unable to build a city with a city wall.
The siege battle was originally an advantage in the defending party. Now they do not have any siege equipment in their hands, and there are very few trees on this vast prairie.
Now even if they want to make some siege ladders on site, they can't find any materials. How can they fight this siege battle?
There was a silence like death in the tent, and everyone frowned, wanting to think of a way to break the deadlock.
When Wang Zhong first heard the news, he was extremely worried. Although he came here to pick up the ready-made ones this time, he had to completely defeat the enemy first, so he was more anxious than anyone else.
After racking his brains for a long time, he really came up with a solution, which was to gather superior forces, launch an siege from all sides at the same time, and use his superiority to crush the enemy.
Although this method is feasible, it is a detrimental idea. After all, relying on the number of people to exchange life with the enemy, they will definitely suffer heavy losses on their side. However, these soldiers are not his subordinates, so he has nothing to worry about.
But the question now is how should he convince these extremely smart guys?
Seeing that the atmosphere became more and more serious, Wang Zhong had to speak out to break the tranquility.
"Everyone, I believe he has told you about my relationship with Tianyu. I am very grateful that everyone can help me this time. I originally thought we would have a head-on decisive battle with the enemy, but I didn't expect that the enemy already had a city.
I guess if Halle Loki was not stupid, he would definitely fight a battle with us, so if we had to attack, there would inevitably be great casualties.
Today, I am very grateful that everyone can help me. It is not easy for you to train these soldiers. I will never let everyone lose their troops for their own selfish interests.
This favor is too great, I can't afford it, nor can I pay it back, so my suggestion is that if it is really impossible, we will find a safe place to stay for ten days, and when the tenth day arrives, we will withdraw our troops directly.”
Wang Zhong knew that no matter what he said, the smart guys in front of him would not lose their troops for him, so he directly used a move to retreat as an advance.
The five lords sitting opposite him now, one of whom had just suffered a huge loss. If he really wanted to return without success, he would probably be the first one that he could not accept. He must be thinking about how to take revenge now.
There was another guy who was fascinated by his sister. He was now dreaming about how to be promoted to the Silver Phoenix Palace, but he was so useless that he would not be able to accept it.
As for the remaining three guys, he had no choice but to pin his hopes on Zhou Tengyun and Feng Tianyu to see if their Five Emperors Alliance has deep feelings.
Sure enough, after listening to Wang Zhong's words, Zhou Tengyun stopped doing it first.
"Brother Wang Zhong, it's your fault. How can we lose without a fight?
What's wrong with the siege? I don't believe that their city wall is a wall of iron. Besides, although the enemy has built the city wall, you don't say how high the city wall is. If it is only three or four meters high, what else can we use to siege ladders? We stacked arhats and rushed up directly."
Zhou Tengyun is now thinking about taking revenge. Wang Zhong's words sounded very harsh to him, so he didn't give Wang Zhong any good looks.
"Brother Tengyun is right, Brother Wang Zhong, we have dispatched so many troops. How can we retreat directly without fighting? When fighting, how can we know who will lose and who will win if we don't fight?
Besides, Brother Tengyun suffered such a huge loss. As brothers, how can we leave as soon as possible? So I agree with Brother Tengyun’s view that this battle must be fought.”
Feng Tianyu's mind is now full of scenes of flying with Wang Qian, so when he heard Wang Zhong say he would not fight, he immediately stopped doing it.
What a joke? If he can't be promoted to the Silver Phoenix Palace, how could he stay with Wang Qian? Besides, Wang Zhong, the cheap brother-in-law, has already decided. If he really retreated like this, he wouldn't be able to explain to Wang Qian, so this battle must be fought.
One was confused by hatred, the other was fascinated by beauty, and Ning Yuan's heart was filled with helplessness when he looked at these two guys.
Now is the time to test whether their Five Emperors Alliance is united, so he turned his attention to Wu Yitian and Qin Hanhai, wanting to see what they thought.
Wu Yitian and Qin Hanhai, Ning Yuan looked at each other for a few times, shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "I also agree with Brother Tengyun and Brother Tianyu. This battle must be fought, but we must make a long-term plan on how to fight.
If the enemy's city wall is really not high, then we will use our military strength to siege the city and then launch an attack from all directions. As long as we can attack the city and open the city gate, we will definitely win this battle.
If the city wall is too high, we cannot siege the city without siege equipment. So I suggest that you have a good rest today, wait for tomorrow to see how high the city wall is, and then make specific plans."
Wu Yitian said it was reasonable. Instead of making random guesses here, it would be better to go to the scene to see the situation and make plans. So after discussing some matters, several people went back to the camp to rest.
