Liangzhou captured Qiang City.
"Report!"
A soldier trotted to the front of the hall, cupped his fists, and knelt on one knee."General, we found Jiang Chen's army camp five kilometers outside the city!”
In the main hall, a tall, muscular middle-aged man with a face full of stubble and red cheeks narrowed his eyes. His expression was uncertain.
It was Ma Teng, who had gathered hundreds of thousands of Qiang soldiers to invade the territory.
He slammed the table." Jiang Chen…I didn't seek revenge on you, but you came to me!”
On both sides of the hall stood seven or eight generals. When they heard the name Jiang Chen, their expressions changed.
Although it had been several months, the impact Jiang Chen had on them was still indelible.
The battle that had a huge difference in numbers but was one-sided.
That battle where they dared to initiate an attack despite having a small number of people.
The well-trained and powerful cavalry.
That mysterious cavalry that came and went without a trace.
The young but brave and resourceful man.
It gave them too much shock!
Now that they heard that Jiang Chen had actually come again, they could not help but feel a chill in their hearts. They discussed animatedly.
"How can that be? We didn't occupy Jiang Chen's city.”
"Is it because we tried to attack one of their cities?”
" But…we didn't manage to take them down, and they didn't lose a single person. Instead, we lost hundreds of people…"
"Isn't that Jiang Chen on bad terms with Dong Zhuo? Why did you help Dong Zhuo attack us?”
"It is said that after Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor and established a new emperor, not only did he not target Jiang Chen, but he also made him the general of the hussars and the spirit martial marquis. At that time, there were rumors that Jiang Chen and Dong Zhuo had reached some kind of compromise.”
Ma Teng looked at the few generals in the hall and frowned slightly.
Jiang Chen had already frightened them to this extent.
If a general was timid before fighting, wouldn't his soldiers be even worse?
At this moment, a general with a strong build and a muscular body stood out. He cupped his fists and said,"General, I am willing to be the vanguard and fight to the death with Jiang Chen!”
"We have a total of 130,000 soldiers. No matter how powerful Jiang Chen is, he's no match for us!”
Ma Teng took a look. It was his trusted general Pang De, and his face looked much better.
The other generals also stopped their discussion and looked at Pang De, who had declared that he would fight Jiang Chen to the death.
He waved his hand to signal Pang De to leave, then stood up and said,""I know that you are all afraid of Jiang Chen and don't have much confidence in our ability to defend this city.”
"However, since we have already taken down this city, are we going to abandon the city and flee when we see Jiang Chen coming?”
"This…this…"
The generals were in a dilemma. Although they were afraid of Jiang Chen, they were absolutely unwilling to return the city that they had fought so hard to conquer.
Looking at the general in the hall, the corners of Ma Teng's mouth curled up indiscernibly, and he continued,"Moreover, this battle is very different from the previous one. We have the advantage!”
Very different?
An advantage?
His Highness 'general was a little puzzled.
If numbers were an advantage, then wasn't the 100,000-strong army of the three allied forces an advantage? That was a crushing defeat!
Although there were more people this time, the gap between the two sides in the previous battle was not something that could be made up by a mere 30,000 people.
A general stood up and cupped his fists."General, please speak clearly."
Ma Teng smiled. Although he was the leader of the Qiang people, he was not a Qiang person, but a proper Han.
His ancestor was the famous general of the Great Han Dynasty, Ma Yuan. Ma Teng could also be called the descendant of a famous family.
He had been familiar with military books since he was young and was skilled in archery and riding. He had worked in the army since he was young and had his own unique understanding of marching and fighting.
After he joined forces with Han Sui and Beigong Boyu to rebel, it was precisely because of his resourcefulness that Huang Pusong, Lu Zhi, and Dong Zhuo could not do anything to them. It was only when Jiang Chen arrived that they gradually fell into a disadvantage.
However, he didn't think that his resourcefulness was inferior to Jiang Chen's. Instead, he thought that he couldn't fully display his resourcefulness because of the presence of Han Sui and Beigong Boyu, which was why he was at a disadvantage.
However, he also knew that Jiang Chen was not easy to deal with. If Jiang Chen did not come to look for him, he might just live in peace with Jiang Chen.
But now that he was here, how could he not retaliate when he was bullied?
If they wanted to fight a war, the first step should be to solve the problem of morale. First, they should arouse their will to resist, and then they should reason with them. It might not be impossible for them to compete with Jiang Chen.
That was why he had said those words to the general.
Now, seeing that it was about time, he said,"Last time, there were three reasons why our alliance army was defeated.”
"Firstly, there is internal disunity. I, Han Sui, and Beigong Boyu's orders are not completely unified, and the command level's orders are chaotic. Although we have more people, we can't use our advantage.”
"Secondly, we didn't know Jiang Chen well at that time. We did underestimate him and fell into his ambush time and time again.”
"Third, Jiang Chen's surprise attack. I have to admit that Jiang Chen is indeed resourceful and brave. His surprise attacks come and go without a trace, making us tired of dealing with them.”
His Highness 'generals nodded slightly in agreement.
"General, do you have a solution?”
Ma Teng's face had a smug look." But now, we can avoid all three of these.”
"First of all, after this reorganization, I will be in charge of our army. I will definitely be able to execute orders and make the most of our numerical advantage.”
"Secondly, although we failed last time, our failure last time was not meaningless. We already know what kind of person Jiang Chen is, so we definitely won't underestimate him.”
"How can we fall into his trap if we treat it cautiously?”
"Lastly, Jiang Chen's surprise attack last time is completely useless this time. This was the most troublesome aspect of the previous battle, but this time, we can completely ignore it.”
"Jiang Chen's most powerful weapon has lost its effectiveness. What do we have to fear?”
The general frowned and said," I understand the first two points, but the last point…Why can't Jiang Chen attack us?”
Ma Teng glanced at the general, not knowing whether to be angry or laugh.
This group of Qiang soldiers had decent combat abilities, but they were basically clueless when it came to strategies!
Pang De stood up and explained," There must be conditions for a surprise attack. We are in the city. The city gates are closed and the city walls are protecting us. How can he launch a surprise attack?"”
"Oh."
The general finally understood.
The other generals of His Highness also nodded their heads repeatedly, saying that this analysis was indeed reasonable.
