Chapter 1242
"This..." Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said slowly, "There are many people in the enemy army whose martial arts are not much worse than ours, but we occupy the timing, geographical advantages, and human harmony; these are our only two advantages!"
"Moreover, these advantages are not enough to become our capital for victory."
"But the weakness of the enemy army is their warhorses and grain supplies."
"Their warhorses are already few, so they can only adopt mounted archery tactics. And mounted archery tactics consume a lot of physical strength; their casualties will be very heavy."
"We can utilize mounted archery tactics to make them taste bitterness and eventually be routed by us."
After listening to Zhou Yu's words, the Generals nodded one after another, seeming to feel that this method was quite good.
"Since that is the case, then we will immediately begin scheduling and deployment, and then launch an attack early this morning!" Sun Jian said. "This battle, I must win beautifully!"
"Yes, General!" The Generals responded in unison.
"Report!"
Just at this moment, a soldier flew over, knelt on the ground on one knee, clasped his hands, and shouted loudly.
Sun Jian's brows furrowed; he did not like this kind of making a fuss behavior.
"Speak!" Sun Jian's voice was icy, carrying a thick murderous aura, making that soldier unable to help but shiver.
"General, just now our scouts sent news saying that Gu Yi has already led his army into the territory of the Yellow River, and our intelligence personnel discovered many enemy corpses near their camp!" That soldier said, his forehead already full of sweat beads.
"Oh?!"
"Where are they located now?!" Sun Jian's expression was uncertain.
"Reporting to the General, they are in the North City District!" That soldier replied.
"North City District!" Sun Jian snorted coldly. "This guy actually hid in the North City District!"
"What should we do?" Sun Jian asked.
"General, we only have twenty thousand troops now, but the North City District also has forty thousand; our numbers are much fewer than theirs!" Another General said with worry. "Moreover, their equipment is more refined than ours, and they have a large amount of crossbow carts and long spears, as well as cavalry as support."
"Therefore, I fear it is not very realistic for us to want to capture their camp."
"Hmph!" Sun Jian sneered. "Our advantage does not only lie in equipment and numbers! We have cavalry, we have cavalry advantage, and we can respond calmly!"
"Our bows and arrows can deal with the enemy's crossbow carts, and can even cause damage to the enemy army! And the cavalry can charge and trap, so we can quickly occupy their camp!" Sun Jian said. "What we need to do now is take down the North City District!"
"Alright, then let's do it according to the General's meaning!" The remaining Generals echoed one after another.
"Then I will order to set out and attack the North City District!" Sun Jian said.
"Yes!"
At this time, Gu Yi was commanding his army to conduct defense. Beside him were his several thousand personal guards, as well as his personal guard regiment, totaling more than three hundred people.
"Brothers, we must guard our home well; we absolutely cannot let the enemy invade our land, do you understand?" Gu Yi said. "Tonight, we must let those enemies know that we are not to be trifled with!"
"Understood!" The personal guards responded in unison.
Gu Yi nodded, revealing a gratified smile. Although these soldiers were all new recruits, their loyalty value in war was very high.
"Brothers, we are now the turtles in the enemy's jar; they can surround us at any time, and we must find a way to break through the encirclement as soon as possible!" Gu Yi said. "Our grain only has less than two days left; if they attack our camp tonight, we will truly be dead."
"No, we cannot sit and wait for death; we must take the initiative to attack and drive them away!"
"We cannot sit and wait for death; we must take the initiative to attack and drive them away!"
"Yes, take the initiative to attack and drive them away!"
The personal guards responded one after another; the impassioned sound resounded through the clouds, deafening.
"Alright, very good!" Gu Yi clapped his hands. "Since you all agree with my point of view, then tonight we will launch an attack and let those bastards know our power!"
"Yes, my lord!"
The personal guards shouted loudly again.
"Alright, everyone rest now, conserve your energy, and tomorrow morning we will begin action!" Gu Yi said.
"Yes!" The personal guards responded in unison.
Subsequently, Gu Yi left the camp and arrived inside his own tent.
"My lord!"
Outside the tent, Zhang Liao's voice came.
Gu Yi pushed the door and entered, seeing Zhang Liao standing before him.
"What is the matter?!" Gu Yi asked.
"Reporting to my lord, this afternoon, our people sent news..." ===== CHAPTER 1243 =====
