Throughout the meeting, Lan Xu had been emphasizing the intention of the coalition forces to attack the city. In this regard, he also asked the generals for their opinions. Similar to the previous speculation in the main hall of the city tower, most generals believed that the coalition forces were testing the stars. The combat power of the army, and a small number of people also proposed that it may be related to the great power of Qingxuan on this basis.
Some generals also said that the coalition forces were actually ready to launch a massive siege at any time during the test of the Star Army's combat power. This view had been denied by Lan Xu before, but based on today's siege behavior of the coalition forces at the expense of their own morale. To allow this point of view to stand, this point of view was also included in the discussion before the purpose of the coalition forces' advance attack on the city was revealed.
In view of the several possibilities that have been raised, the generals debated endlessly during the meeting, and in the end they could not get a unanimous answer. Fortunately, no matter what the enemy's intentions were, their star army's combat strategy would not change. Generally speaking, no matter why the coalition forces attacked the city, They must defend Fancheng.
It is worth mentioning that when Lan Xu and others were discussing the coalition's intention to attack the city in advance, Lu Yunyou's attention was always on the Yangguo war song, that heroic and majestic tune. Even if he thinks about it now, he will still feel excited in his heart, and it is the same as that. Compared to the war songs, the tragedy on the battlefield could no longer move him.
Even if the war song belonged to the enemy, his will was still greatly affected. In short, in his opinion, it was indeed an effective way to boost morale. The more he thought about it, the more amazing it became.
Due to his inability to concentrate, Lu Yunyou failed to take the initiative to put forward some of his own opinions during the discussion. He was always listening to other people's comments. Of course, being in such an environment, he would still be affected to some extent.
Based on everyone's deliberations, Lu Yunyou finally came to a conclusion. No matter how the coalition forces attack the city next time or when it will be, all they can do is try their best to prepare for the battle.
A meeting lasted for nearly an hour. When the meeting was over, he left with Li Jianran at Li Jianran's reminder. On the way, Li Jianran praised him again. Killing an enemy general was regarded as a meritorious service. He led a group of subordinates. Quickly defeating the enemy is another achievement, and coupled with his previous performance against Qi Wei, according to Li Jianran, just receiving praise from above is not enough. There may be only one opportunity left for Lu Yunyou to be promoted to the rank of commander.
Putting this matter aside, when Li Jianran emphasized that most of the casualties were infantry soldiers, Lu Yunyou couldn't help but think of Lan Xu's mention of the casualties of the Star Army in today's World War I during the previous discussion.
Four thousand is not a small number. For the Star Army, which currently has only 110,000 troops, this is a number that cannot be ignored. Moreover, today's battle is still taking place when the enemy does not use large siege equipment. If the enemy Even if the ordnance conditions were better, he could think that even if the Star Army fought against the coalition forces with one against four, the current total strength would not be able to withstand such consumption. As Li Jianran said, how to reduce the loss of one's own personnel when fighting the coalition forces in the future is A key.
After leaving Li Jianran, Lu Yunyou returned to the area where the soldiers at his headquarters were. As soon as he arrived here, Zhang Jiutian immediately informed Lu Yunyou of the casualties below.
Except for a dozen people who died at the hands of enemy generals, the soldiers of the headquarters suffered almost no injuries when fighting ordinary Yang troops. Lu Yunyou was very satisfied with this result.
After inspecting the queue of soldiers in his headquarters, he said goodbye to Zhang Jiutian and went to find a place to practice until he rested at night. To his surprise, Lan Rou and others did not come to look for him before resting. Finally, He just had a few words with Zhang Jiutian at his residence.
Early the next morning, when Lu Yunyou was still asleep in bed, he was awakened by the sound of a horn outside. After standing up and sitting on the bed, he heard the sound of horns outside becoming more continuous, which was the signal before the war.
Subconsciously thinking that the coalition forces might be attacking the city again, Lu Yunyou quickly got up and got out of bed, put on a military uniform and went out with his weapons. While he was waiting for a brief wash in the yard, Zhang Jiutian happened to greet him from outside.
"General, the marshal has ordered you to gather at the city gate as soon as possible." As soon as they met, Zhang Jiutian made his purpose of coming to Lu Yunyou clear.
"Are the coalition forces attacking the city again?" Lu Yunyou asked in a slightly urgent tone, walking next to Zhang Jiutian.
"Exactly, just like yesterday, the coalition camp started early today, and now the coalition forces are on their way to Fancheng."
"Then let's go there as soon as possible." He raised his head and glanced at the gray sky. Thinking that it would usually take a while for the Star Army to start their morning training, Lu Yunyou became more and more confused about the active participation of the coalition forces.
Speaking of which, when participating in the meeting yesterday, no one among the dozen or so generals mentioned the possibility that the coalition forces would come to attack the city today. It seemed that everyone thought that the coalition forces' temptation was only once, and due to the coalition forces' defeat, many people still It's like common sense to think that the coalition forces will not rush over to attack the city again.
But now I think about it, if the coalition forces were really just a test, then why was Yang Jun the only one who attacked the city yesterday? Thinking of this, Lu Yunyou suddenly felt that everyone might have miscalculated. It is conceivable that the coalition forces coming to attack the city again today would make many generals from top to bottom. Big surprise.
Since he could not figure out the reason why the coalition forces came to attack the city again, on the way to the city pass, Lu Yunyou was even more confused about whether the coalition forces would attack the city with all their strength today. Speaking of which, it was precisely because of this that Lan Xu called the generals to discuss the matter again. .
After a period of surprise, the unexpected behavior of the coalition forces made Lu Yunyou feel a little scared. The fear of the unknown behavior of the coalition forces could not be offset by yesterday's small victory. When he hurried to the city gate to join the other generals, Lu Yunyou directly I saw that the other generals had solemn expressions on their faces, as if they all felt that the situation was serious.
After standing next to those people for a while, Lu Yunyou heard someone say that the coalition forces would probably attack the city with all their strength today. After the coalition forces failed to attack the city once, they unexpectedly came to attack the city again, which made this speculation It was very convincing, so he, who was already a little scared, became even more nervous.
By observing other generals, he saw the same mood on the faces of those colleagues. It had to be said that the second arrival of the coalition forces had a great psychological impact on them.
Not long after, Lan Xu came over with several generals and immediately told Lu Yunyou and others that the coalition forces would attack the city with all their strength.
Just like yesterday, the coalition forces still had no large-scale siege equipment to use. Because of this, everyone thought that the coalition forces would not attack the city again in a short time. However, when something beyond their expectations happened, the unexpected behavior of the coalition forces directly impacted the city. They cause greater psychological impact.
When Lan Xu personally stated that the coalition forces might attack the city on a large scale, Lu Yunyou and others became more and more nervous.
Fortunately, the battlefield has been cleared after yesterday's war, and all kinds of defensive materials have been placed in an orderly manner. As long as the personnel are arranged in place, they can fully meet the coalition's attack again.
It was still some time before the coalition forces arrived. To be on the safe side, Lan Xu asked Lu Yunyou and others to confirm the troop deployment again to ensure that there were no omissions.
After explaining some key matters, Lan Xu ordered Yan Nantian to be the commander of today's war. He and Zhang Dadan and other generals went to the main hall of the city tower to discuss the coalition's attack on the city. Today's behavior of the coalition surprised everyone even more than yesterday. Lan Xu Xu really wanted to find out as soon as possible why the coalition forces came to attack the city again.
Time passed little by little, and half an hour later, a sentry came over and said that the coalition forces would arrive at Fancheng in a quarter of an hour. After receiving the news, Lu Yunyou and other generals who were responsible for taking the lead in fighting the enemy were nervous again.
The cold wind was raging wantonly, and the wind was whining loudly, as if indicating that a war was about to come. Under the flag of the Star Kingdom that was constantly fluttering, all the Star Army personnel looked solemn.
After accompanying Yan Nantian on a tour, the blood-stained city walls and the resolute faces of the Star Army all gave Lu Yunyou a chilling feeling. Unknowingly, he had entered a state of preparation for war.
He just didn't like war, but it wasn't that he wasn't used to the current situation. With a somewhat complicated mood, Lu Yunyou followed Yan Nantian back to the city.
The first ray of sunshine in the morning has crossed over the mountains to the east and shined on the city, dispelling some of the severe cold. Standing in front of the city tower and looking far to the south, the coalition's marching team is already visible in the distance. Before the coalition officially arrives, what can they do? There is only waiting.
Time passed slowly, and soon, Lan Xu and the generals came out of the main hall, all with solemn expressions. In the past time, Lan Xu and the generals still failed to discuss the intention of the coalition forces to attack the city, so it was impossible to infer the coalition forces today. Will they attack the city with all their strength?
But judging from the news reported by spies outside the city, the coalition forces came out in full force again today. Even if they only pursue this point, they must go all out.
