Early the next morning, Dashi Military Camp.

"Is this the surprise you gave me?" Bingbo Silin's face looked very ugly and shouted to the generals in front of him.

"If the subordinates make a mistake, please punish the governor." These people immediately knelt down and said. Not only that, if you listen carefully to their voices, you can still feel a hint of trembling.

It’s not their fault for being afraid. The night before yesterday, they led more than 10,000 troops to attack the 35 houses of Qin. They seized 12 houses at the cost of nearly a thousand people killed in battle and nearly a thousand seriously injured, causing casualties to the Qin man. Although the losses were large, they took the lead after the reopening of the war and were commended by the governor.

But unexpectedly, the Qin man, who was in a weak position and should not be able to draw out many soldiers to attack, sent thousands of troops and launched a counterattack last night, attacking the thirteen houses and seizing the thirteen houses, one more household than they had seized the night before, which was equivalent to a slap in the face.

Moreover, the reason why so many houses were lost was very simple: the guards were careless and almost unprepared for the counterattack of Qin. How could Bingbo Silin not get angry with such a simple reason? He could not vent his anger at the soldiers, and could only call the generals who commanded the soldiers, scolded them loudly, and punished them.

"You..." Hearing the words of several generals, Bingbosilin was about to speak out loudly about their punishment when he suddenly saw Saleh kneeling down and said, "Governor, I have a responsibility for this matter, please punish me too."

"It was me who proposed to launch a large-scale attack on the Qin man at night to capture the house, increase the morale of our army, and reduce the morale of the Qin man."

"At the same time, if our army had not attacked Qin's army the eve of the night, the Qin's army would have probably not launched an attack last night; and I did not expect that Qin's people would launch an attack last night, and did not remind several generals. So I have the responsibility for the failure last night, so I would like to ask the Governor to punish him."

"What are your responsibilities?" Bingbo Silin immediately said: "You are not a general who leads troops, and you are not fighting the battle. You are just making a suggestion. If there is also responsibility, then there will be no generals in the army without responsibility."

As he spoke, he looked at the generals kneeling in front of him. He knew that Saleh knelt down and said this was not to take responsibility for him, but to ask him to reduce the punishment for several generals.

Are these generals responsible? Of course they have responsibilities. Regardless of whether the Qin man launched an attack, the soldiers should be instructed to strengthen their defense. Defence is like defending thieves for thousands of days, and they should not relax for a moment during war.

They did not instruct the soldiers to pay attention to defense because they did not think that Qin would launch an attack, nor did they send people to check whether the soldiers defended seriously. This is of course a fault and should be punished.

But it should not be severely punished. The entire military camp, from the Bingboxilin to the most ordinary soldiers, did not think that Qin would launch a counterattack just one day.

They accurately calculated the total number and deployment of the Qin army. The maximum number of Qin soldiers in the city was no more than 18,000. The enemy defended many houses and reserved teams. After more than 2,000 soldiers were killed or injured on the eve of the previous year, they should not have the strength to launch a counterattack. It would take at least three days to transfer 10,000 soldiers from the Hebei camp to the Luzhou City before they had the strength to counterattack.

But the man Qin went against common sense to launch a counterattack. In this case, it would be meaningless to punish several generals severely.

"Nasel,..., you failed to fight last night and should have deprived you of your command and handed over the army to someone else."

"But considering that you are fighting fiercely with that man Qin, you learned that the man Qin launched an attack last night and rushed to the scene to command in time, so you will not be punished heavily, but only deducted a year's military pay."

"But if you make the same mistake next time, I will definitely deprive you of command without mercy!"

"Yes." Nasser and others agreed loudly.

"You stand aside." Bingbo Silin waved again. They agreed again, stood up and walked to the side.

"Now, what should our army do next?" Bingbo Silin glanced at all the generals present and asked.

"The Governor should fight steadily and attack all the houses located on the periphery of Qin."

Saleh said: "After the battle on the eve, Qin's soldiers must have become more vigilant. It will be very difficult to cross the outer courtyard to attack the core part of the house day and night, and it will be even more impossible to launch a sneak attack."

"If our army wants to occupy Yuluzhou City, we can only compete with Qin's man in one house, and there is no shortcut."

"There is no shortcut?" Nasser couldn't help but say it.

"There is no shortcut." Saleh said with certainty: "The two sides of the war have already fully understood the other side's combat methods, and there is no basis for the implementation of strange strategies, so they can only fight head-on."

"And our army has the advantage of fighting head-on with the Qin people, that is, we can use the captured civil servants. Most of these civil servants are unwilling to be loyal to the Great Food Kingdom. In this case, let them be killed by the army of the country they are willing to be loyal to."

"Is there anyone else to talk?" After hearing Saleh's words, Gossilin asked again. His idea was similar to Saleh, but the losses in the war would be very amazing. He had always wanted to minimize the casualties and injuries of soldiers as much as possible and was very hesitant about the frontal attack. This was also the reason why he accepted Saleh's suggestion the day before yesterday.

But after he looked around, no one stood up to speak; he looked at Houmeide, who had become smart recently, and when he saw him, he lowered his head and had no intention of standing up to speak.

"This meeting ends here." Bingbo Silin said: "First of all, the troops that did not participate in the battles between the two last night and used Qin Namin as a shield to attack Qin Namen's outer courtyard. But be careful to control the casualties."

"You all retreat. Said and Ziad stay."

"Yes." Everyone immediately bowed and said retreat. Soon, except for the guards, there were only three people left in the tent, including Gyborsilin, Saleh and Houmede.

When everyone left, Saleh was about to speak; but before he could say anything, he heard Bianbosilin ask, "Sayed, what are you thinking about just now?"

"I? Governor, I was wondering if there was a way to fight head-on, but I didn't expect it." Hou Meide was stunned for a moment when he heard Bingbo Silin's question.

"Didn't you think about anything else?" asked Bingbo Silin again.

"Report to the Governor, no." Houmeide replied again.

"If you have other ideas, you must tell me or Saleh that it is easier to think about it together than if you think alone." Bingbosilin said again. He suspected that Houmede would think about something else, but he was not sure.

"Yes." Hou Meide agreed again, without saying anything else.
