Qin Feng stood up, turned around and left, too lazy to talk to these two guys.
At the same time, in the palace, Li Yu had already launched an action. Since he could not guess the thoughts of the commander of the Forbidden Army, Li Yu did not rush to directly rebel against the commander of the Forbidden Army. Instead, he chose Zhou Pu, the safer general of the Forbidden Army.
On the palace wall, Li Yu and Zhou Pu walked side by side and walked along the wall.
Li Yu looked at the army stationed outside the palace and asked casually: "General Zhou, how sure are you of this upcoming war?"
Facing Li Yu's inquiry, Zhou Pu seemed a little surprised, and he couldn't help but glance at the well-equipped Beixi army.
"Master Li, what do you mean by this? Could it be that the enemy is preparing to attack the palace?"
"How can this be?"
"If the enemy really wanted to attack by force, they should have made a strong effort as early as when they entered the city. Now that the palace's defense is stronger than before, isn't Qin Feng afraid of causing huge casualties?"
Li Yu put his hands behind his back and pretended to be calm: "Although there are no signs of a strong attack yet, what would you do if you were Qin Feng?"
"Is it possible to continue to waste it? Delay the entire plan?"
Hearing this, Zhou Pu could not help but fall silent. He also knew very well that if King Beidi continued to defend, it would only be a matter of time before Qin Feng launched a strong attack.
Since he had to face this situation sooner or later, Zhou Pu no longer struggled and faced it calmly: "Although there is no chance of winning, our army will definitely inflict heavy damage to Qin Feng!"
Li Yu smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid there is no chance to seriously damage the enemy."
Zhou Pu frowned, and the look in his eyes at Li Yu changed again and again: "Since ancient times, any fortified battle will inevitably face a large number of casualties. Qin Feng's army, no matter how brave it is, is just a group of flesh and blood under the palace wall. It’s just a body.”
"Master Li's words are probably to enhance others' ambition and destroy his own prestige, right?"
Li Yu shook his head and sighed: "Now, what prestige do we have?"
"General Zhou, do you know how Qin Feng was able to resist the strong attack of the army when he was stationed in Changshui County?"
Faced with Li Yu's rhetorical question, Zhou Pu said straightforwardly: "There are three reasons. One is the army, the other is the city, and the third is the powerful defensive equipment."
Li Yu nodded: "Now that Qin Feng is the main attack, the advantage of the city wall no longer exists, and the advantage of soldiers cannot be brought into play in the face of a tough battle, so the only thing left is the siege equipment."
"General Zhou, just imagine, how long did it take Qin Feng to attack Xiongying Ridge? How much price did he pay?"
"Eagle Ridge still has terrain to rely on, and it can't stop Qin Feng. Is it possible that this palace is more difficult to defeat than Eagle Ridge?"
Zhou Pu's face froze for a moment. Qin Feng's lightning-fast capture of Eagle Ridge indeed had a big impact on the generals in Beidi.
It can be seen that Qin Feng is not only good at field warfare and city defense warfare, but also has unique insights into siege.
Zhou Pu lowered his voice and said nervously: "Master Li, you mean... the reason why Qin Feng is not in a hurry to attack the city is because he is preparing siege equipment?"
"If Qin Feng transports those powerful instruments to the royal capital, it will definitely be extremely detrimental to our army."
Li Yu sighed: "Yes, although Qin Feng, as the attacking party, will inevitably face some losses, with the continuous support of resources, he only needs to build a large number of catapults and other siege equipment to minimize casualties. .”
"What will happen when hundreds of catapults rain down on the palace at the same time?"
"You know, this is because Qin Feng is worried about the impact and is unwilling to burn the palace to the ground. If what is thrown in is not a stone but a fireball, I wonder if General Zhou is prepared to deal with it?"
The more Li Yu analyzed, the uglier Zhou Pu's face became.
Feeling the despair in Zhou Pu's eyes, Li Yu felt guilty in his heart. Although he wanted to use words to defeat Zhou Pu's energy and spirit in order to induce Zhou Pu to surrender, but facing Beidi's loyal and courageous general, he used Li Yu naturally felt sorry for this set of indiscriminate tricks.
But for the sake of the overall situation, Li Yu had no choice.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Pu couldn't help but clenched his fists: "In this case, you should make complete preparations in advance. Mr. Li, thank you for reminding me!"
Just when Zhou Pu was about to turn around and leave, he was grabbed by Li Yu.
"General Zhou, do you really want to burn the palace to the ground?"
Zhou Pu frowned: "The decision lies with Qin Feng. Mr. Li should ask Qin Feng."
Li Yu shook his head, his eyes firm: "No! The decision lies with General Zhou. If the palace continues to adopt a posture of preferring death to surrender, then Qin Feng will have no choice but to attack by force."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Pu immediately reacted, suddenly broke away from Li Yu's hand, and shouted angrily in a low voice: "Li Yu! You actually want me to surrender?!"
Now that this layer of window paper has been pierced, Li Yu has nothing to worry about, and immediately asked: "Are you willing to hold on and turn the entire palace into ruins, and everyone in the palace will be slaughtered?"
"General Zhou, I greatly admire your determination to serve His Majesty."
"But if you ignore the overall situation and only know how to be loyal to His Majesty blindly, that is foolish loyalty!"
"To be honest, Wu Fangxu already conveyed Qin Feng's intention to me when he came here before."
"As long as the defenders are willing to surrender, Qin Feng will be safe. Not only us, but also His Majesty will be able to survive."
Zhou Pu's eyes were extremely contemptuous. If Li Yu hadn't been in a high position, he would have drawn out his knife and chopped the traitor on the spot.
Zhou Pu was extremely shocked, angry and stunned.
He never dreamed that even Li Yu, a "loyal minister", would rebel!
"Foolish loyalty? We have received the emperor's favor in this life, shouldn't we be foolishly loyal?"
"Without His Majesty's support, how could I be waiting for today?"
Faced with Zhou Pu's refutation, Li Yu didn't react much. He said firmly: "Even if you know you are going to die, you still want to hold on?"
Zhou Pu didn't hesitate at all, and said forcefully: "Even if my body is broken into pieces, what's the harm?"
Li Yu nodded and continued to ask: "Even if everyone in the palace is killed, including His Majesty, the royal family's heirs, and the concubines in the harem, will it still be okay?"
Zhou Pu clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and after a moment he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has long been awakened!"
Li Yu did not argue, and just asked: "They are all the guards of the imperial palace who are stubbornly resisting, and they are all razed to the nine tribes. Doesn't it have anything to do with it?"
Zhou Pu's eyes had undergone subtle changes, and his tone was no longer as firm as before.
