Most of the generals here came with Laisen this time. When it comes to the situation between the enemy and ourselves, only Yuriluo is relatively clear about it.
The latter also immediately stood up and replied: "General, the name of the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army is Wei Qing."
"Wei Qing?" Laisen's face darkened. It was this man who defeated him and even opened the city to fight back when he was retreating.
He asked again: "Is he the general under Emperor Qin?"
"This is not clear." Yuriluo said: "The information we can detect is limited, but according to Master Yiles, Wei Qing is the Pingbei Marquis of Qin State, or some kind of general who conquers the north."
"Marquis, he is very rare in the Central Plains." Laisen said: "This person is difficult to deal with. You must be careful in the future."
Having said this, he suddenly asked: "By the way, where is Iles?"
Iles was hit by an arrow at the Northeast Pass. He returned to Seth City first to heal his wounds, so he did not experience this battle.
Someone returned: "Lord Iles is recovering from his injuries and is still in a coma."
Laisen said: "Don't let him die, otherwise it will be difficult for me, the general, to explain to His Majesty the King."
"Don't worry, General. Lord Iles's arrow wound has been treated. His life is not in danger for the time being."
"Yes." Laisen nodded and said: "Now, we have to re-examine the Qin army's combat power. This general will not blame any of you for this failure, and will explain it clearly to His Majesty the King. "
Hearing this, some people started to make second thoughts: "The Emperor of Qin can wipe out all the countries in the Central Plains and complete the unification, so the Qin army's combat power must be extraordinary. In the opinion of my subordinates, it is best not to attack again this winter."
Laisen glanced at him. If he remembered correctly, this guy had made fun of Yurilo's timidity before, but now it's better to stop talking nonsense.
However, he did not rebuke, but said: "I have already told you about the situation in this battle. The Qin army was well-equipped, especially the shields, which blocked our spear attacks, which was very detrimental to our siege. ."
"Moreover, it is heavily fortified and the city defense coordination is very good. In future wars, if we continue to charge as hard as before, it will be difficult to break through the city gates."
Everyone began to analyze the failures on the battlefield.
Someone said: "The Qin army's combat power is very high. Under such circumstances, we must formulate good tactics for attacking the city in the future."
Another person said: "It is not easy to attack the city now. In the future, we should try our best to fight the Qin army in the open field, and our warriors are more suitable for this kind of battle."
Hearing this, Yuriluo couldn't help but said: "But Qin's cavalry is very elite. If it is in the wilderness, our infantry may not be able to withstand the charge."
"We also have cavalry, which can completely cover infantry operations in the wild and launch a charge against the Qin army at the same time."
Laisen brought over 200,000 troops. Of course there were cavalry, but the ghost tribe was now in short supply of war horses, with only 6,000.
The ghost army generals discussed this matter for a long time, focusing on some tactics of the Qin army. At the same time, Laisen made the decision not to rush into battle this winter until the weather gets warmer.
After the discussion, he also thought about writing a letter to the Ghost King. The content of the letter was of course to avoid the important and minimize the responsibility, and also explained the Qin army's combat power.
Meanwhile, Iles residence.
The arrow wound on his arm has been bandaged, and he is leaning on the bed with a pale face, listening to his deputy's report: "General Leysen has returned."
Hearing this, Iles couldn't help but feel shocked, and quickly asked: "How is the situation? Have our warriors broken through the Northeast Pass, and have the Qin troops begun to sue for peace?"
This revenge, as well as the tough attitude of the previous Wei Qing, made Iles hold a grudge in his heart, and he fantasized about Qin suing for peace all the time. At that time, he would be able to be arrogant and yell at it!
"This" But the deputy envoy said with an ugly face: "Our army did not break through the Northeast Pass, and moreover, General Laisen was defeated."
"How is this possible!" To say that he looked down on the Central Plains, Iles went even further. Moreover, he was a diplomat, and he had the mentality that his own country should be on Qin's head.
"But it is true, Lord Iles." The deputy envoy said: "Not only was General Laisen defeated, but all our 50,000 warriors were wiped out, and only a few dozen came back."
"What!?" Iles was shocked and hissed in pain due to the violent reaction that affected his wound.
"Sir, be careful about the wound." The deputy quickly stepped forward to help him adjust his posture.
After coming back to his senses, Iles kept saying: "This is impossible. This is impossible. How could the Central Plains army defeat our warriors?"
The slap in the face was too fast.
He was a little broken and couldn't believe or accept this fact at all. He murmured: "In this case, how can we negotiate with Qin."
"I can't see Emperor Qin's face at all."
“Wei Qing’s attitude is so tough”
"Is it really necessary to pay compensation to the Central Plains as Qin said?"
The next day, Northeast Pass.
The post-war affairs of the Qin army have been dealt with, Zhao Chen has returned, and the generals gathered in the tent for a simple military discussion.
The situation of each department has been reported before, and Zhao Chen said: "The final general was incompetent and failed to capture the ghost army leader, allowing him to escape back to Seth City."
Wei Qing raised his hand: "After all, he is also the enemy's commander. Once he escapes, there will definitely be someone behind him, so it doesn't matter."
Then he asked: "Sess City was dominated by Yurilo before, but now the ghost army has arrived. Their coach is named Laisen, right?"
This was learned from the mouths of several ghost army prisoners. Chen Jing replied: "Yes, this person is a powerful person of the ghost clan. According to the information we have learned so far, Laisen invaded the Central Plains many years ago and massacred tens of thousands of people." With this surname, many young girls of our compatriots have been arrested.”
"This is an old war criminal." Wei Qing said, and then asked: "What is his character like?"
Chen Jingdao: "The sources of information are limited and it is difficult to find out at the moment."
"Yeah." Wei Qing didn't say anything else. He was fighting with the ghost tribe. Because they looked different and the two sides didn't do business, it was difficult to collect intelligence.
After a pause, he said: "In this battle, all the troops fought beautifully, and all the generals have made great achievements. I will show my gratitude to Your Majesty."
"Thank you, General!" All the generals looked happy and clasped their fists together.
A biased general said: "But general, from the perspective of the last general, it is better to take advantage of this great victory and use an elite division to storm the city of Sais. Maybe we can defeat it in one fell swoop!"
"That's not right." Wei Qing shook his head and said, "There is a certain reason why there is no expedition in Sixth Lag. What's more, the climate here is even more severe and is not suitable for camping in the snow at all. Moreover, the ghost army has heavily deployed troops in Sais City. We can achieve success in three days, but if the expedition fails, if our army is often in the wild, the soldiers will suffer from many serious diseases."
Then he made a final decision: "Get through this winter first, don't fight a meaningless war."
