The soldiers below the cliff also heard Mu Qianyu's shouting, and their eyes turned green for a moment. They had heard of heroic people, but never heard of such heroic people.
A thousand spiritual stones were given at the drop of a hat? There must be at least 30,000 to 40,000 people present. This expenditure is enough to feed an army of 100,000 people for three months.
They had just been defeated and their counterattack was ineffective. They were not so uncomfortable. They were all sighing and muttering about why there was such a big gap in treatment for the same soldiers.
Their unbalanced emotions were amplified even more when smoke rose from the city and the smell of meat filled the air.
The two major forces on the other side each occupy two states, and together they form the power of the four states. The two leaders are civil and military, and the civil official is the former governor of that state, named Li Junjie.
The general is the middle-aged general who has been commanding the battle. He was once the governor of two states in Daxuan, named Qi Xuanyi.
The two men were able to become high-ranking officials in Daxuan, and their resourcefulness and courage were extraordinary. At this moment, the two men, together with their advisers and lieutenants, were discussing countermeasures in the camp of the Chinese army.
What they faced was a dilemma. Daya Pass was a natural danger, easy to defend but difficult to attack. A strong attack would surely result in heavy casualties.
They had thought about retreating before. After all, they captured six cities outside Daya Pass in one day, which was already a quarter of Qingzhou's territory. It would be profitable to give up the attack.
But the opponent's cavalry is too strong, and their forced withdrawal will only lead to more deaths.
The only way to solve this dilemma is to think of a better attack strategy or a way to retreat, otherwise we can only waste our time here.
Qi Xuanyi has led troops for many years, but this is the first time that he has led 300,000 people and been forced to this point by more than 10,000 cavalry in the pass. He is walking around in the camp without a clue.
The same is true for Li Junjie. Originally, they wanted to take advantage of the struggle between Mu Qianyu and the wolf bandits to recharge their batteries, so that after both sides were hurt, they could take Qingzhou directly without any effort.
The early stage of things was indeed as they planned. Although Mu Qianyu was strong, the territory was vast and the soldiers were few, so he had no ability to resist under the pressure of their large army.
But things began to change when Mu Qianyu descended from the sky with the dragon. She actually blocked the path of an army of 300,000 with only tens of thousands of people.
There was also the man who appeared out of nowhere. He could always tell at a glance which was the main attack and which was the feint attack. Every arrow hit the main attacking soldier.
Throughout the night, they adjusted their battle formations more than a dozen times, but they were all seen through and defeated easily.
So the two people discussed and prepared to withdraw. Who would have thought that the pass would be overrun by cavalry who were ready to counterattack in such a short period of time. They doubted that someone would retreat before they retreated to the pass.
Every time they think about this, their scalps feel numb. They thought they picked a soft persimmon, but they hit an iron nail.
"We have no way out, we can only attack!" Qi Xuanyi frowned and continued: "Although the casualties will be heavy, we have no choice."
Li Junjie sighed: "I didn't expect that Mu Qianyu is still a tough guy at such a young age, and he is fooling around with us."
"She is not an ordinary person because she can destroy the wolf bandits." Qi Xuanyi confirmed this and added: "But I only knew that she was brave, but I didn't know that she or there was a think tank behind her."
"We really have no other choice now. I will send the order to increase the troops. As for the tactical allocation, I will leave it to you, brother." Li Junjie said.
Qi Xuanyi nodded solemnly: "Okay."
So the other side launched another attack in the morning, just as the soldiers in the city were taking turns eating.
Beichenye held Mu Qianyu's shoulders as he was about to stand up and said, "Eat slowly and leave it to me."
"Then be careful." Mu Qianyu urged.
At this time, the group of archers who had eaten first were still standing in front of the cliff. The soldiers below rushed up to face a new round of arrow rain.
Because the manpower became more abundant, more stones rolled down the city wall. The soldiers below rushed up and killed some, and the two sides began a fierce tug-of-war again.
Mu Qianyu's reinforcements kept coming from the two neighboring states of Gyeongju and Jiangningzhou. Although there were not many people, it didn't take many people to guard a pass. An extra 10,000 people would make it much easier for the soldiers who had previously defended the city.
In this way, the battle continued from day to night, but the opponent still couldn't make any progress.
This war is said to be a confrontation between two armies, but in fact it is a confrontation between the generals of the two armies. They need to constantly change their formations and attack directions. This is a battle of military tactics and psychology.
Wu Anbang saw that his palms were wet with sweat, and he often subconsciously praised the opponent's general, saying that what the opponent was best at was arranging troops and allocating troops reasonably.
But when he looked at Beichen Ye again, he found that his expression had not changed much from beginning to end, and his eyes were still calm, but his response was always the most timely and appropriate.
As a veteran, he couldn't help but admire Bei Chenye. This young man's strength and skills were unparalleled, and he was a perfect match for Master Mu.
Two people, a pair of monsters.
The battle lasted for a day, but Qi Xuanyi did not take an inch of land but lost 60,000 to 70,000 people, so he ordered to retreat again.
But this time it was not a withdrawal in the true sense. Instead, all the troops took dozens of steps back and camped on the same spot, without turning their heads from the beginning to the end.
The situation of being abused by the cavalry had already happened once before. Even if Qi Xuanyi had not had a long memory, he would not have forgotten it so quickly.
Mu Qianyu stood on top of the city wall and said, "I learned smarter this time, but I still can't run away. I think there are only a few hundred thousand left out of the 300,000 people."
"Thirty thousand cavalry and 120,000 infantry." Beichenye said slowly.
"Did you get your eyesight from counting stars?" Mu Qianyu was a little surprised at his effort.
It can be imagined that the effort consumed by commanding the battle for a day is still there, and now he is still thinking about counting the heads of the opponent.
"You don't need to practice, you can figure it out just by taking a glance." Beichen Ye said and looked at her again: "Have you had dinner, madam?"
"You urged me to eat some pastries at noon. It's not yet in the evening, so I'm not in a hurry. I'll eat them with everyone later." Mu Qianyu replied.
She felt that Beichenye really had a leisurely mind, and now he could actually care about whether she ate or not.
"They won't attack for a while, I'll do something for you alone." Beichenye said as he walked down the city wall.
Mu Qianyu followed him, because his steps were too big, so she could only keep up with him at a trot.
"I don't think it's necessary. You've been tired enough for the day. I'll do it while you wait to eat." She gave a new suggestion.
There are mountains on both sides of Daya Pass, so the two of them chose a mountainside with a view of the scenery. Mu Qianyu was grilling meat, while Beichen sat under a tree at night and watched the armies of the two major forces in the distance.
