Chapter 1980: The disparity in strength

Lord Liu looked at the situation under the city, his eyes were shocked and suspicious, and his expression gradually became increasingly ugly. He had never expected that the enemy's strength would be so powerful. In his heart, he had always laughed at Lord Wu, thinking that Lord Wu would lose the nine outer cities one after another in a very short time, and that Lord Wu's command level was really too poor.

Later, when the first line of defense he had set up by himself was quickly broken through, he thought that the conquered state army that defended the nine cities outside was too poor in combat. However, when the enemy broke through the three lines of defense outside the city one after another, Lord Liu realized that this was not the case. It was not that he was too weak, but that the opponent was too strong.

Like Lord Wu, Lord Liu was a civil servant who had not experienced war and did not have much combat experience. In fact, Lord Wu might be higher than Lord Liu. At least in the court at that time, facing the local officials of the Hays Empire who had been pressing on them and fearing them, Lord Wu, who had a lower status than Lord Liu and others, dared to stand up and put it to death and live. He had this dispute with the local officials of the Hays Empire in the court, but Lord Liu did not dare to come out and speak at that time.

So when Lord Wu lost eight cities in a row and retreated to the 9th city, he still maintained a relatively calm state. However, Lord Liu was just as he broke through the three lines of defense outside the city, he was already panicked and indifferent.

Looking at the battle situation in front of him, Lord Liu actually shouted, "Go out and attack, let our team rush out and block the enemy."

The generals of the conquered state army above the city all looked at Lord Liu with surprise. The situation in front of him was very obvious. In the open area without the protection of this city wall, they were basically defeated in an instant. Let the people in the city rush out at this time. Isn’t this delivering vegetables to the enemy?

Under such circumstances, Lord Liu's order was wrong at all. However, it is naturally difficult to say these generals of the conquered countries' military forces. What would Mr. Liu do in such an abnormal situation? It is really hard to say.

In the current situation, if these generals of the conquered state army followed Lord Liu's order and rushed out of the city, they would die and would naturally not go out. However, no one explicitly objected, and just stood there and remained motionless.

Lord Liu was even more angry when he saw these generals of the conquered national army, and they did not obey their orders to go out of the city to meet the enemy. He shouted at the generals of the conquered national army, "What's wrong with you? Are you afraid of the enemy?"

However, no one spoke or acted. Lord Liu felt even more embarrassed and wanted to engage in military law in these conquered generals. At this time, Lord Wu spoke.

"Mr. Liu, your order is probably inappropriate!"

Lord Wu was originally appointed as Lord Liu's deputy by Emperor Wu, but because Lord Liu disliked this Lord Wu, he did not arrange for him to do the work, nor did he allocate any troops for him to take charge. Therefore, Lord Wu only had the small team of troops given to him by the Emperor before.

Lord Wu, who had nothing to do, has always led this small team of troops to watch the battle above the city wall. Lord Liu had never consulted his opinion before, and he did not take the initiative to speak, but he did not expect that he would speak out at this time, and he pointed out his mistake as soon as he spoke.

Lord Liu seemed to have found a vent at this time. He widened his eyes, stared at Lord Wu tightly, and said to him, "What is your identity? You have to figure it out! Have I asked you? Is there any part to speak here?"

However, Lord Wu was not afraid of Lord Liu at all. He said to Lord Liu, "Mr. Liu, I am the deputy commander appointed by the Emperor. Why can't I speak? And Lord Liu, your order is indeed a problem..."

Lord Wu said something endlessly, but Lord Liu was stunned. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to refute it.

Just heard Lord Wu say, "The situation in front of you is very obvious. The enemy's field ability is far stronger than our army. The three troops were almost defeated in an instant. Lord Liu, please let the people in the city continue to rush out. Wouldn't that give the enemy a head? These three troops were gone in just a while. How long can the few troops on our city stand up?"

"And there is another problem here, that is, if all our men and horses are damaged outside the city, then who will defend the city wall?"

What Lord Wu said was profound and reasonable. Although the generals who were conquered the country's army hated Master Wu very much, they had to admit that Master Wu's insight was indeed more clever than Lord Liu, and there was no problem with what he said.

If you follow Lord Liu's arrangements and leave the city and go out to fight with this strong morale and fierce offensive, the West Camp and the New Alliance Army will be defeated in a long time, and the city wall will be even more uncontrollable. Then Lord Liu's words to Lord Wu were silent, although he wanted to force the order to continue rushing out, even though he knew this

Lord Wu was right and didn't listen to Lord Wu.

But he finally maintained some rationality, knowing that if he did that, the first city wall could not be kept, and the Emperor would probably not be spared by him. Lord Liu knew very well that the reason why Lord Wu could continue to be valued by this emperor after losing the city wall was probably because Lord Wu was anxious about what the Emperor was anxious about and thought about what the Emperor thought. When the Emperor needed someone to sing a stage show with the local officials of the Hays Empire, Lord Wu jumped out regardless of life and death, so the Emperor repaid and also did such a thing for the sake of a thousand gold coins.

However, the situation of Lord Liu is very different from that of Lord Wu. He did not show any particular performance before. The reason why the Emperor sent him to preside over the defense of the inner city was that the Emperor handed over the defense of the inner city to the civil servants who were conquered the country. With his position among this civil servant, he was assigned here.

Even the Emperor may not have a deep impression of him. If he lost this city wall and lost most of his troops, what would be waiting for him would not end up being a good end. So Lord Liu took advantage of the situation and sneered, and said to Lord Wu, "How can I not know this? For you, let me retreat."

Then he ordered the generals under his command, "Everyone guards the city walls and don't act rashly."

Judging from Lord Liu's appearance, it seems that the generals of the conquered state army had not been allowed to go out of the city to fight, but the generals of the conquered state army naturally would not say anything, but would continue to defend the city wall.

Lord Wu was robbed of his plan by Lord Liu and he spoke ill, but he didn't say much. Lord Wu knew in his heart that he was a defeated general, and the position of this deputy was already very good. It was already very good if he had not been punished. There was no need to argue too much with Lord Liu, the commander, as that would be detrimental to him.
