When the news came that Yelu Shenxuan personally led troops and appeared on the front line, Li Chen was discussing countermeasures with Wu Qingcang, who hurriedly arrived.
"It will take the Jin Army four hours to arrive at the fastest. These four hours will be a huge test for us."
Wu Qingcang frowned. The successive battles put him under great pressure. Although as the commander, he did not have to go to the front line to kill the enemy in person, but thanks to Li Chen's delegation of power, the entire Qin army's combat plans and deployments came from him.
His hands carried the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on his shoulders, so the mental pressure Wu Qingcang endured was extremely great.
In just a few months, Wu Qingcang seemed to have aged several years, with spots appearing at the corners of his eyes, and a few wrinkles on his forehead that could kill a fly when faced with a difficult situation.
"According to His Highness's order, the battle lines in all parts of Wolong Mountain have been reduced and concentrated on Luofengpo. At present, apart from the battle losses, we still have about 120,000 combatable troops."
Wu Qingcang looked at Li Chen, who had his back turned to him and faced the map, and said: "But the Liao army still has at least about 180,000, or even 200,000 going up. As far as the current fighting situation is concerned, our army has only two casualties.
We can replace one person from the Liao army, Your Highness, although I don’t want to say this, but at this juncture, I must confess to Your Highness that the combat effectiveness of our army is not as good as that of the Liao army.”
Li Chen did not turn around, he said calmly: "I know, that's why this battle has reached this point. As long as our army's combat effectiveness is equal to that of the Liao army, we swallowed them at Crescent Pass that day, so why spend so much money?"
Taking such a big risk with such great effort?”
"Although repeated weakening has prevented the Liao army from exerting its greatest advantage even when fighting in mountainous areas, these people on the grasslands are indeed natural fighting machines..."
Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "It's a pity that they want to be my enemy and cannot be used by me."
Wu Qingcang couldn't keep up with Li Chen's train of thought. After thinking for a while, he could only find his previous train of thought and said, "Your Highness, Yelu Shenxuan is going to attack personally, and the Jin Army still needs four more hours. How should we deal with it?"
Li Chen heard this but did not answer, but said: "Why do you think Yelu Shenxuan wants to conquer it himself?"
Wu Qingcang frowned slightly and replied: "He is anxious."
After laughing, Li Chen turned around and agreed: "Yes, he is anxious. Although I don't know why he is anxious, maybe he has sensed something, or maybe the Liao army's current situation has become urgent. In addition to a quick victory,
We can't waste any more time. Of course, there may be other reasons, but in short, he is in a hurry."
Walking up to Wu Qingcang, Li Chen said warmly: "Since he is anxious and has put all his chips on the table, we actually have no second choice. We can only deal with it with all our strength... Four hours,
You must persist for four hours."
Patting Wu Qingcang's arm heavily, Li Chen said: "This heavy responsibility is in your hands."
Wu Qingcang took a deep breath and said, "I understand."
"I'll leave this to you, I have other things to do."
After Li Chen finished speaking, he saw Wu Qingcang heaving a sigh of relief and said with a faint smile: "You seem to be worried about something?"
Wu Qingcang smiled bitterly and said: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from His Highness. In fact, I am very worried that Your Highness will insist on doing it himself after learning about Yelu Shenxuan's personal expedition."
"I'm not stupid."
