Chapter 200 Decided to fight back

"The loss is so great!" Even though it was expected because of the frequent requests for help last night, everyone was still shocked when they saw the number of casualties.

"Last night, thirty-five yards or houses were attacked by Dashinu, and twelve of them were seized. Except for a few soldiers stationed in these twelve yards, all the rest were killed in battle."

"A total of 556 people were killed in battle, 535 were seriously injured, 1,163 were slightly injured, and 15,000 soldiers in the city, more than half of the casualties in just one night." Zhang Cheng said the casualties in a deep voice.

"Are they crazy?" Wang Sheng shouted: "At they attack thirty-five houses at the same time, each house sends at least 300 troops, and the Dashi slaves will transport more than 10,000 troops, and they will be killed or injured in battle. Just to seize twelve courtyards? Is this worth it?"

"It's worth it, it's worth it for the Big Food slave." Liu Qi returned to his usual expression and said: "The Big Food Man still has more than 50,000 troops, and our army only has 30,000 troops. If the Big Food Man returns it like this, you can win the final victory."

"They were able to win the Battle of Luzhou, but what after that? Kucha and other four towns were left alone?" Meng Chengkang asked.

"If they don't do their best to win the Battle of Luzhou, they can't control the four towns including Kucha," said Liu Qi. "Now it seems that the great cannibal must have found that our army is waiting for reinforcements and wants to delay time, so they must occupy Luzhou in the shortest time to win this battle."

"Then, what should we do?" Hearing Liu Qi's words, everyone suddenly became silent. The great cannibals saw through their plan to delay time and launched a fierce attack. They fought as they did last night. In less than a month, they would be wiped out, or they would be forced to abandon the guards of Yuluzhou City; and in a month, the elite soldiers could not complete the training, and they would be defeated.

"How should we deal with it?" Zhao Guangmi asked after a while.

"The defense of the outer courtyard must be strengthened." Liu Qi immediately said: "If the soldiers stationed in the outer courtyard had not been careless last night, the Dashi soldiers had no idea when they passed through the streets and alleys. They did not come back to their senses until the enemy attacked them. The Dashi soldiers could not attack the Thirty-five houses in any case."

"In that way, reinforcements can support several outer courtyards with all their strength, so they will not suffer such heavy losses. The deaths in battle last night were more serious than serious injuries, because twelve households were lost, and all soldiers who failed to escape into the tunnel were killed in battle."

"There are no need to mention all the soldiers stationed in the outer courtyard who were killed and seriously injured in battle last night, and all the soldiers were reprimanded."

"The defense of the house should be more flexible. Even if the enemy cannot attack, retreat immediately. If you find that you will not be able to defend in the end, you should also retreat into the tunnel in time to avoid the entire army being wiped out."

"We also have to launch a counterattack against the Dashi Slaves along the tunnel. Now the Dashi Slaves occupy fewer houses, and the troops are sufficient, so it is difficult to fight back like this. Later, the Dashi Slaves occupy more and more houses and more casualties, so we have the opportunity to take advantage of it."

"We also need to tell all the soldiers that it is impossible for the Dashinu to send tens of thousands of troops to attack our military courtyard every day, so there is no need to be too scared."

"..." Liu Qi said many ways to deal with it.

"I can put these orders on paper and inform the entire army." Zhang Cheng said immediately. In order to conceal the total number of casualties, there were only a few generals in the cave at this time, and there was no military service. Zhang Cheng could only write them by himself.

"The Duwei Liu is indeed amazing." Wang Sheng exclaimed with conscience. Seeing such heavy casualties today, he was frightened for a moment. Liu Qi could still calmly come up with a way to deal with it, and he sighed that he was not as good as that.

Not only him, but also Meng Chengkang, Zhao Guangmi and others admire Liu Qi, but they just couldn't say it.

‘If you heard that the two sides of the war had lost more than two-thirds of the soldiers and the average time they survived on the battlefield was less than twelve hours, and that they had no relatives and friends to die, they would be as calm as me.’

Although he didn't say it, Liu Qi could guess that they were surprised by their calmness and couldn't help but think in his heart.

"We have to send troops from the Hebei Daying." Zhang Cheng had already written Liu Qi's order on the silk at this time. After thinking about it, he said: "Thirty-five houses were attacked, and thirty-five teams were injured. Including the support army with heavy losses, at least three thousand troops were dispatched from the Hebei Daying to replace them."

"No, we will send five thousand troops to come, and we will send another five thousand troops tomorrow." Liu Qi suddenly said.

"Deploy so many soldiers to garrison in the city?" Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment and asked back, "Do you want to increase the guards of each house to one brigade?"

"No, it's still a team, and there is another team of people underground as a support army." Liu Qi said.

"Isn't this the same as it is now? Why do you need to transfer so many soldiers to the city? Do you expect the Big Food Slave to attack dozens of houses tonight?" Speaking of his guess, Zhang Cheng's face became solemn again.

"No," Liu Qi's answer surprised him. "I don't know if Dashinu will attack the house again, but I will attack the house controlled by Dashinu tonight."

"What? Do you want to send troops to attack the house controlled by Dashinu?" Wang Sheng asked back.

"You said it right."

"Are you crazy? We only have 15,000 soldiers in the city, and more than 2,000 casualties; the soldiers dispatched from the Hebei camp cannot all come to the city within the middle of the night. How many soldiers do you need to dispatch to attack at this time?"

"Transfer five thousand troops to attack the Dashinu House."

"The troops sent five thousand troops, and the defensive soldiers left were only more than seven thousand. They barely defended all the houses and could not keep any more troops to support them. If the big food slave attacked again, wouldn't we have to throw away most of the houses?"

"And even if the Dashinu had no intention of attacking again, when you failed to launch an attack and retreated, if the Dashinu took advantage of the victory, we would lose even worse! I will never agree to your plan!" Meng Chengkang said.

He thought Liu Qi was too crazy, which was like a desperate attack. If he lost, the situation would be irreversible and he could not agree.

"It is precisely because of this that our army can win against the counterattack!" Liu Qi said: "The generals of the Dashi will definitely be able to think of what you can think of. In this case, they will not expect our army to launch a counterattack and win."

"And I won't attack like the big food soldiers last night, but will use clever tricks to defeat the enemy. You don't have to worry about losing too many soldiers."

"You are a big bet! I won't agree!" Wang Sheng shouted.

"I don't agree either." Zhao Guangmi also shouted.

Zhang Cheng was in a dilemma. He did not agree with Liu Qi's plan, but since the outbreak of the Battle of Oluzhou (calculated from the Gukou battle), they always made the big cannibal suffer great losses by making surprise plans, and they had always suffered a little loss when they fought head-on. Moreover, if they did not agree with Liu Qi's decision, they would slowly fight with the big cannibal to repay blood with blood and exchange life for life, and they might not be able to survive until the elite was trained.

It was precisely because of this entanglement that he kept sitting in the chair and pondering without saying anything.

Liu Qi and Wang Sheng and the other three argued a few times. The two sides said that their parents had reasonable opinions and could not convince anyone. Liu Qi suddenly noticed that Zhang Cheng had not spoken and asked, "Governor Zhang, what did you think? Do you agree with my plan or oppose it?"

"Governor Zhang, do you agree or object to what you said?" Wang Sheng also asked. For a moment, several people in the room looked at him.

"I," Zhang Cheng raised his head, hesitated for a while, and said, "I agree with Liu Duwei's plan."

"Thank you." Hearing this, Liu Qi immediately smiled and said thank you again.

"Why? Governor Zhang, why do you agree?" Wang Sheng asked with a puzzled expression.

"Wang Duwei, you said that Liu Duwei's plan is very risky, and I think so too. But if you don't do this, it will be difficult to persist until the elite soldiers are trained."

"And from the beginning, wasn't the entire street fighting a strange plan of Liu Duwei? Which general had fought a street fighting in the past? Since the battle plan was basically the strategy of Liu Duwei, it is natural to adopt a strategy of Liu Duwei."

"If it doesn't work, I still can't agree." Wang Sheng thought about it and said. What Zhang Cheng said was not unreasonable, but he was more inclined to be a safe plan.

At this time, those who support or oppose Liu Qi's plan formed a balance. There were three opposing people and two supporters. However, Liu Qi was the main general appointed by Li Gong himself, with one vote of two votes, and both sides were evenly matched.

Wang Sheng was secretly happy when he noticed this situation. The result of this stalemate was to maintain the current decision, that is, Liu Qi could not send troops to attack the cannibals.

As for sending someone to ask for advice from Li Gong, Wang Sheng felt that Li Gong might not agree with Liu Qi's plan, and he was not afraid that he would send someone to ask for advice.

But at this moment, Liu Qi suddenly took off the hat on his head and said to Wang Sheng and others: "I will put my own future on my own. Are you willing to lead my troops to fight?"

"As long as I fail this battle, I will personally apologize to the Protector and voluntarily remove all official positions." As he said, he picked up paper and pen and wrote down what he said just now, and showed it to Wang Sheng and others.

"Look, I have already made a letter of letter. If I break my promise after the defeat in the battle, I will show this letter to the soldiers. I will lose my prestige in the army. Even if I am shameless and refuse to resign, I will not be able to lead the troops again."

"Liu Qi, why are you doing this?" Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment and asked.

"I just want to lead troops to fight." Liu Qi said.

"This, hey!" Wang Sheng sighed again and said, "Since that's the case, I agree with your plan. You don't have to keep that document, you can burn it."

"No, I will leave this document in case I regret it." After Liu Qi said this, he said to Zhao Guangmi and Meng Chengkang: "There are now three people who agree with my plan and can implement it."

"Wang Duwei, Zhao Duwei, Meng Duwei, please recruit 1,000 soldiers under your command and follow me to attack the great cannibals." He said again.

At this point, the three of them could only obey his orders, agree to choose the troops to fight, and order the guards to pass the order.

Liu Qi thanked the three of them again, called the military in to explain a few words, and turned around and left. Tonight he was going to lead his troops in person, and now he was going to lead the troops.

"Wang Sheng, do you think Liu Qi can win this battle?" After Liu Qi left, Meng Chengkang asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. But I hope he wins."
