Then several generals who were in charge of the battle expressed their agreement with Lan Xu's decision. As for those who were originally in charge of the defense, they even stated that they were willing to follow Lan Xu's instructions. It was obvious that Lan Xu's analysis greatly affected the mood of the generals. Changes, from just a few people supporting the defense of the city, to now only a small number of people still insist on fighting, everything is moving in the right direction.
Lan Xu's words also made Zhang DaDa, the representative of the main combatant, very hesitant. After Zhang DaDa stopped expressing his objections, the remaining generals who still had doubts would naturally not be the first to say anything.
"Have you all changed your minds?" Seeing that the generals who had previously supported him in the battle changed their minds one after another, and even his direct subordinates, Zhang Dada was suddenly embarrassed. After all, as the commander of the cavalry camp, he did not rely solely on strength for promotion.
Speaking of which, he also felt that Lan Xu's analysis was reasonable. They should not be the ones who were really urgently fighting now, but the Yi Army should not be the ones to change their views casually like other generals. He also felt that it would undermine his majesty as the commander-in-chief.
"Does General Zhang still want to insist on fighting?" Seeing that Zhang DaDabao didn't seem to be persuaded by Lan Xu, Fang Quyin looked confused and wanted to know what Zhang DaDao was thinking.
"That's not what I mean," Zhang shook his head. He dared not speak too absolutely, and then explained with some embarrassment: "I just want to know more about what you mean."
"I wonder what your Highness thinks?" Seeing that Zhang DaDa's position was no longer firm, another general who was leading the battle simply gave up supporting Zhang DaDa and instead asked Lan Jing what he meant.
"The marshal gave the position of the general to the general and asked the general to be responsible for commanding the three armies. Presumably the marshal himself did not have the slightest doubt about the ability of the general. His Highness has always respected the marshal, so naturally he is willing to trust the general," his words were quite flattering. It means, but it better reflects Lan Jing's clear concept. As a prince, it is natural for Lan Jing to support Lan Xu.
If he can establish a good relationship with Lan Xu and Lan Wu, it will have a great decisive effect on his future future. Moreover, Lan Jing is not completely flattering Lan Xu by saying this, but he is also telling the truth. In addition, even other generals feel that He was flattering Lan Xu, and no one would dare to question him.
"Since His Highness believes in the General's ability so much, how can we doubt the General's ability? It is up to the General to decide whether to go to war or not," following the trend and following Lan Jing's words, Yan Nantian expressed his position in public.
"The last general is willing to obey the general's orders," Yan Nantian took the lead, and other generals expressed their stance to Lan Xu one after another, including Zhang DaDa in the end.
"Okay," Lan Xu nodded to the generals and said righteously, "Since you are willing to trust me, I will do my best to lead you to defeat the Yi Army."
Next, everything went well. Lan Xu followed the original plan and explained the relevant matters of the defensive battle one by one. According to the current situation, the Yi army will attack the city soon. The most important thing right now is to appease the lieutenants of the good army. emotions and be prepared to face challenges at any time.
While Lan Xu was explaining some things, in the Yi Army tent, the commander of the Yi Army was waiting for news with some generals. Today was the third day they went to invite the war. As long as the Star Army went to war, Ruan Qiling would lead it immediately and be ready. The cavalry rushed to Windless City to help out.
"Marshal, the Star Army won't be in seclusion all the time, right?" It has been three or four hours since the Yi Army set off, and no news has been sent back. The generals of the Yi Army are really waiting a little anxiously.
"Yes, Marshal, could it be that the commander of the Star Army has already seen through our intentions?"
The two generals expressed their doubts to Ruan Qiling one after another. The questions they asked were questions that other generals also wanted to know.
"It is not difficult for the enemy commander to see my intention. The difficulty lies in how the enemy commander solves other problems that I have given him." Ruan Qiling continued with a look of concentration: As a victorious army, the Star Army Satisfied with his ambition, he will definitely be very angry at the behavior of our army. If Lan Xu cannot convince the star army generals and appease the mood of the people below, their morale will plummet even if they refuse to fight. "
"What the marshal means is whether the enemy army goes to war, we must first see whether the opinions between the enemy commander and the generals are unified?" According to Ruan Qiling, a Yijun general soon understood what Ruan Qiling meant.
"That's true, but it's more than that!" Now the person under the greatest pressure among the Star Army is Lan Xu. Ruan Qiling wants to know whether Lan Xu really has the ability to lead the three armies.
"Then according to the marshal, the enemy should have already gone to war. Why can they endure for a few days?" Then, another Yijun general was puzzled.
"There is only one reason, and that is that Lan Xu's ability as the commander-in-chief of the three armies is not as bad as we thought." Ruan Qiling's face changed, and he felt more and more that Lan Xu was not as simple as he thought.
"Marshal means that Lan Xu is fully able to exercise his power as commander-in-chief?"
"No, Lan Xu has just become the general. He may have high qualifications in the cavalry camp, but he does not have much majesty among the three armies. If he cannot show outstanding leadership skills like Lan Wu, it will be difficult. He is in charge of the generals in the army who were promoted together with him. When the time comes, the military will be divided and it will be difficult for Lan Xu to go against the will of the people. There is a high chance that the Star Army will go to war," Ruan Qiling replied.
"Marshal, regardless of the internal situation of the Star Army, an urgent message has been sent from the Imperial Capital, requiring us to launch an attack as soon as possible without wasting any more time." As Lan Xu analyzed, the Yi Army has always had problems with food and grass, Lenovo Royal Family It was difficult for the Yijun generals to patiently implement their plans after receiving urgent messages from the front.
"The royal family is eager for us to achieve results because they want to use this to please the ancient Yuan Dynasty. This commander and you are very clear about this matter, but I have to consider the generals of the army to break a strong fortress like Windless City. , even if our army wins in the end, there will be heavy casualties, and we must rely on strategies to attack the city."
Speaking straightforwardly, Ruan Qiling was not shy about talking about the situation with the royal family of Yi Kingdom. Of course, since this was the case, those generals understood the royal family's purpose of asking them to fight urgently.
After the previous battle, Ruan Qiling's ability has been recognized by the generals. In terms of the battle plan, although some generals do not agree with the practice of scolding, most generals support Ruan Qiling's strategy. After all, reducing their own casualties is equally important to them. There are benefits.
"Marshal, what should we do if the Star Army still doesn't go to war today?" Returning to the question of whether the Star Army would go to war, another general of the Yi Army asked.
"According to the news coming back from the city, the morale of the Star Army has been greatly reduced. If they don't go out to fight today, our army will attack the city with all our strength tomorrow." The reason why he decided to go out to fight was not because the royal family urged him, but because he was urged by the royal family. Because they have been scolding for three days, if the Star Army does not go out to fight, it will prove that the Star Army has reached a unified point of view. It will be of no use if they continue to scold. On the contrary, it may make the Star Army unite as one. Therefore, in Ruan Qiling's original view, they It would be better to attack the city as soon as possible before the morale of the Star Army is greatly reduced and has not yet recovered.
"What the marshal said is true. The enemy's morale is currently low. Even if they can survive today, the enemy's morale will still be low when we attack the city tomorrow. Our army will easily defeat the enemy." Understanding Ruan Qiling's intention, a Yijun commander Echo directly.
"General Tie is right. There is such a huge gap in strength between the enemy and ours. Our army's morale is at its peak, and there are so many siege equipment available. Capturing a city is no problem."
…
As soon as Ruan Qiling clarified the time for the battle, the generals below expressed their confidence in defeating the Star Army. Just like the Star Army generals the day before yesterday, many wing army generals already felt that victory was in sight.
In fact, Ruan Qiling was somewhat confident in capturing Wufeng City because he did not think that the Yi Army was inferior to the Star Army.
In the big tent, Ruan Qiling and General Qian were waiting for news and discussing how they would capture Windless City tomorrow if the Star Army did not go out to fight today.
At the same time, in the Star Army camp, after all the generals reached a consensus, the generals above took action separately according to Lan Xu's instructions. The commander of the third battalion personally came forward to explain the enemy's intention to insult them in order to appease the soldiers' emotions.
In order to stabilize the morale of the troops, the generals did not forget to make a promise to the soldiers in the end. Within three days, they would have a good fight with the Yi Army and vent the bad energy they had accumulated in the past few days.
The final guarantee was an important means to appease the soldiers. As long as they endured it for a while longer, they would be able to kill the Yi army happily, and the impetuous mood of countless star troops would be greatly alleviated.
Next, according to the instructions of those generals, each of the Star Army calmed down and waited for the war to come. The situation of the Star Army had stabilized for the time being.
No matter how insulted Yi Jun was, many star troops had already thought of taking a good rest to replenish their energy and fight Yi Jun at any time. They no longer paid too much attention to Yi Jun's curses. The atmosphere in the army gradually changed, becoming more and more disappointing. One has a feeling of tension before the war.
