"Fellow clan leaders, I promise you now that starting from today, you will no longer be responsible for attacking!"
After Han Sui said these words righteously, the commander's tent immediately fell into silence.
However, the chiefs of the small tribes became quiet, while Tu Dan, the leader of the Xianling Qiang tribe, snorted coldly.
"Prince Han, if you don't want them to attack, why should you go?"
Han Sui was immediately embarrassed. He didn't expect that he had just issued an order and was immediately opposed.
"Chief Tu, you have seen the current situation. They can only afford this..."
Han Sui did not dare to offend anyone and carefully maintained the entire coalition.
It's a pity that he thinks he is selfless, but he doesn't get the slightest attention from Tu Dan.
"Prince Han, I don't understand what you are talking about. Let me ask you, if they don't go, who will?"
"Of course, if Governor Han is willing to take on the task of attacking himself, I will naturally have no objection..."
If it weren't for the threat of Liu Zhang that made Han Sui surrender to the rat weapon, he really wanted to lead his troops to destroy the Xianling Qiang immediately.
Unfortunately, now that life and death were at stake, Han Sui could only choose to swallow his anger in response to Tu Dan's cynicism.
Han Sui turned to look at Shaodang Qiang Yueman and Hanqiang Hemi, both of whom he was friends with, hoping that they could stand up and help him.
Unfortunately, Yue Man and He Mi didn't say anything in the face of Han Sui's slightly pleading look.
It's not that Yue Man and He Mi are unwilling to help Han Sui, it's just that the Shaodang Qiang and Han Qiang are currently unable to bear greater losses.
Among the five major Qiang tribes, which one can sit in the position of clan leader and be an ordinary person?
Not to mention all of them are resourceful, but at least they are at the level of human beings.
Tu Dan raised objections. If Yue Man and He Mi stood up to support Han Sui, they would inevitably bear the consequences of supporting Han Sui.
Don’t you Shaodang Qiang and Han Qiang support Han Sui?
Okay, then the task of attacking just falls on you!
Presumably Gong Tangqiang and Beiqiang will never have any objections, and even Dian Wu and Daisi will immediately stand up to express their support.
In the rout a month ago, the Shaodang Qiang and Han Qiang suffered the most casualties.
The combined strength of the Shaodang Qiang and Han Qiang is no longer as strong as the Xianling Qiang and Gongtang Qiang. If they continue to unscrupulously lose their troops, the status of the Qiang will inevitably change in the future.
Facing this situation, Han Sui could not help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.
The coalition forces seemed to number more than 200,000, but in fact he could mobilize less than 20,000 soldiers!
Although Liu Zhang only had 50,000 to 60,000 men in Yuzhong, all of his men were willing to die!
It's really annoying to compare people to each other!
Han Sui boasted that he was not much worse than Liu Zhang, but the facts proved that the two were not even the slightest bit different!
Just when the atmosphere in the commander's tent was strange and about to turn from a contradiction into a conflict, Ma Chao stood up.
"Uncle Han, judging from the current situation, it is not a good idea to forcefully attack Yuzhong City."
Ma Chao's words were immediately recognized by all the clan leaders, and even Yueman and He Mi couldn't help but nod their heads.
The biggest problem of the coalition forces at present is not that they cannot withstand casualties, but that they cannot get any reward after the casualties.
In ten days, 20,000 people were killed or injured. This number is either too high or too low.
But for the size of the army of 250,000, it is indeed not completely unacceptable.
The most unbearable thing for the Qiang people, large and small, is that after all the casualties, there is no hope of conquering Yuzhong!
Losing 20,000 men every ten days, how many ten days could the coalition forces cost Han Sui?
Why didn't Han Sui know about this problem? But besides attacking by force, is there any other way?
"Meng Qi, why don't I know? But do we have any other choice?"
Looking back now, Yuzhong’s geographical location is so important!
Completely guarding the road from Jincheng to the outside world!
As long as Liu Zhang occupied Yuzhong, Han Sui would be trapped and die here.
How could Han Sui have imagined that his 300,000 troops would face such a situation!
Thinking of this, Han Sui couldn't help but look at military advisor Cheng Gongying with a hint of resentment.
If Cheng Gongying hadn't planned to use Yuzhong City to lure Liu Zhang to Jincheng City and annihilate him, how could the coalition forces be in such a predicament?
In response to this, Cheng Gongying could only lower his head silently without making any excuses.
He also did not expect that Liu Zhang, who had won consecutive battles, would choose to stick to Yuzhong!
"Uncle, we must find a way to lure Liu Zhang out. As long as he leaves Yuzhong City, we can completely defeat him!"
Han Sui sighed softly. He was really too lazy to argue with Ma Chao.
Didn't he know how to lure Liu Zhang out?
But Liu Zhang had already determined that he would not be able to escape, so how to seduce him?
"too difficult..."
"Meng Qi, Yan Ming, do you think you can lead the cavalry to steal from the north and south?"
If there is really no way to take Yuzhong, we can only try to rely on the high mobility of the cavalry to break through the Yuzhong barrier and break into Hanyang County.
Nowadays, almost all the Yizhou troops and horses in Hanyang County are in Yuzhong and Jieting. Once enemy troops appear in the territory, they will be unable to deal with them.
At that time, Liu Zhang may be forced to leave the city for a decisive battle.
Upon hearing Han Sui's question, Ma Chao and Yan Xing frowned.
"Lord, we only have 30,000 cavalry. It is almost impossible to rush through Yuzhong safely."
"The general felt that Liu Zhang had already laid a dragnet on the north and south sides, so he just waited for our cavalry to go and die."
"Even if we get through by chance, I'm afraid we will lose nearly half of our troops. What can we do with less than 20,000 cavalry?"
Yan Xing had a pessimistic attitude towards this, and Ma Chao on the side also nodded frequently in approval.
"As long as the army can rush out of Yuzhong, Liu Zhang will definitely not dare to sit in Yuzhong with peace of mind!"
Now Han Sui is also driven into panic. Maintaining the status quo can only lead to the collapse of the coalition forces.
Therefore, as long as Liu Zhang can be forced out, he can bear no matter how big the risk is.
"My lord, have you forgotten the Wu Feng Battalion under Liu Zhang? They all wear iron armor, and with their unique equipment, it is difficult for our cavalry to fight head-on..."
Although Yan Xing did not participate in the Battle of Didao, he had personally experienced the night attack by Wu Feng Camp before, and he had a deep impression of Wu Feng Camp.
Even if Yan Xing maintains his courage and is not afraid of Tai Shici, the commander of Wu Feng Camp, can his cavalry withstand Wu Feng Camp's attack?
"I can't control that much anymore! As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I can't give up now!"
The results of Yan Xing's calm analysis did not awaken Han Sui, but instead strengthened Han Sui's desperate determination.
It's a pity that Han Sui forgot one thing. He could do anything, regardless of the loss of troops and horses.
