Zhao Gao bowed to Zhu Qizhen and replied respectfully," Your Majesty, according to our scouts, there are about twenty thousand Wala soldiers in Huailai City.”
Twenty thousand people!
Hearing this number, everyone present shook their heads helplessly.
20,000 compared to 180,000 was indeed a huge difference.
If not for the 50,000 Wala cavalrymen chasing them from behind, they would have no problem taking back Huailai City. They might not even need a day.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
The reality was that there were 50,000 Wala Cavalrymen chasing after them.
"Your Majesty, this old minister was just casually mentioning it. Now, we should follow General Fan's suggestion and have the army get into formation as soon as possible to fight to the death with Wala!”
Even Zhang Fu, who had proposed this idea, could not help but shake his head at this moment.
Zhu Qizhen was also pondering over his next step.
After transmigrating, he couldn't possibly still walk the old path of the original Mingying Sect, right?
" Ding, selection triggered, option being generated…"
"Option 1: Lead the army and fight to the death with the Wala Cavalry. Reward: Feng Yun World's Nameless, 50 years of cultivation!”
"Option 2: Lead the army to attack Huailai City. Reward: ”
" Option 3: Lead the army to fight against the Wala Cavalry and attack Huailai City at the same time. Reward: 100,000 Golden Fire Cavalry and Commander Meng Tian.”
Right at this moment, the mechanical voice of the system rang out in Zhu Qizhen's mind.
Hearing the system's voice, Zhu Qizhen was instantly delighted.
This selection mission came at the right time!
Although the rewards for Choice 1 and Choice 2 were pretty good, they were basically useless in the current predicament.
The third option was different. 100,000 Golden Fire Cavalry and Meng Tian would definitely be a reward that could easily turn the situation around.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Qizhen naturally knew what to choose.
Having made up his mind, Zhu Qizhen replied to the system in his heart," I choose three!”
After Zhu Qizhen made his choice, he did not hear the system's response. He could not help but ask in his heart,'System, what's going on? What about the reward?"
"Ding, the host has made a choice and executed it. Only then will the choice be considered complete, and the reward will be issued on time. Host, please execute the mission of option 3 as soon as possible. If you give up or change your choice midway, the option will be invalid and the reward will not be issued.”
" Alright." Zhu Qizhen felt helpless when he heard the system's reply.
Initially, Zhu Qizhen thought that as long as he made a choice, he would immediately receive the reward.
With the addition of 100,000 Golden Fire Cavalry, it would be easy to deal with the 50,000 Wala Cavalry and the 20,000 Wala soldiers in Huailai City.
He did not expect the system to have such a restriction.
It seemed that he could not take shortcuts.
"Emperor, please make a decision as soon as possible!"
Just as Zhu Qizhen was thinking about this, Fan Zhong bowed to Zhu Qizhen with cupped fists and respectfully greeted him.
"Emperor, please make your decision as soon as possible!"
Following that, Zhang Fu, Kuang Ye and the other ministers greeted Zhu Qizhen respectfully.
Hearing everyone's voices, Zhu Qizhen retracted his thoughts and said in a clear voice,"Don't worry, my dear ministers. I've already made a decision.”
" Your Majesty, please give your orders." Minister of War Kuang Ye bowed towards Zhu Qizhen and spoke respectfully.
The others also looked at Zhu Qizhen, waiting for his orders.
Zhu Qizhen's gaze swept across everyone and slowly said,"I've decided to split the troops into two groups. One group will temporarily block Wala Yexian's cavalry. The other part of the army would attack Huailai City with all their might and try to take back Huailai City before the other side of the army had a clear winner.”
"Emperor, you can't!"
Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Fan Zhong hurriedly dissuaded him.
"Why not?" Zhu Qizhen asked.
" Our army's combat strength has declined," Fan Zhong said." If we gather all our strength, we might still be able to fight against the 50,000 Wala cavalrymen. But once we split up, I'm afraid we won't have any chance of winning. Please reconsider, Emperor!”
"Emperor, please reconsider!"
Following that, Kuang Ye and the other ministers also tried to dissuade Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qizhen's expression turned solemn when he heard this and he said coldly,""Then I would like to ask General Fan, if our army is fighting against the 50,000 cavalry of Wala Yexian, and the Wala soldiers in Huailai City suddenly charge out and attack our rear, how should we deal with it? At that time, would they need to split up their forces to stop them?”
"This…"
Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Fan Zhong was instantly speechless.
The other ministers 'expressions also changed slightly, not knowing what to do.
"I'm sure you all understand that when the time comes, we'll definitely need to split up. Rather than passively dividing our forces and causing the formation to be chaotic, it would be better to take the initiative to split our forces and attack. Our Great Ming would instead be able to take the initiative.”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
After a long while, Fan Zhong, Kuang Ye, and the others bowed to Zhu Qizhen and greeted him respectfully.
At this time, they had no other choice.
Zhu Qizhen said," Alright, let's not waste any more time. Let's split up and act immediately." Fan Zhong led the 100,000 strong army to speed up and attack Huailai City. The remaining 80,000 troops, including 5,000 cavalry, will be led by me personally.”
"Emperor, you can't! How could you take the risk?"
Upon hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, the Minister of Revenue, Wang Zuo, hurriedly tried to persuade him.
Immediately after, the other ministers also tried to dissuade him.
"Enough, I know what I am doing! Back then, Taizu and Taizong conquered the world on horseback. My Imperial Father also followed His Majesty Taizong into the grasslands! Now, I am the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, why can't I lead troops to war?”
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and interrupted the crowd.
"Back then, my Imperial Father was unable to kill Yexian. Today, I will complete this mission! Go and prepare immediately. Anyone who disobeys will be killed immediately!”
Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, everyone immediately looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"Datong Defender General Chen Wenrong requests an audience!"
At this moment, a vigorous voice came from the side of the army.
Hearing that voice, Fan Zhong and the others were delighted.
