Although the truck was still there, Mei Daer knew that it was impossible to attack again. Things like kerosene were too destructive to morale. Unless they were absolute elites, no one would dare to move forward against the flames.
He didn't know that it might be impossible for others, but most of the soldiers under his command would definitely not be able to do it.
Looking at the Wuhuan people retreating like a tide, the soldiers on the city wall did not express too much excitement. They are elites who have experienced hundreds of battles. Naturally, they cannot be happy just because they have repelled the enemy's attack. That can only allow themselves to express themselves.
Unprofessional and looked down upon by other brother troops.
"Your Majesty, I failed again."
Mei Dal came to Tadun and knelt down on the ground.
"Hey, it's not your fault. I didn't expect this small Yuyang City to be so difficult to defeat."
Tadun shook his head. To be honest, when the two carts reached the city wall, he thought he could capture Yuyang today. Who expected that he still failed to do so? For this situation, he could only rely on the enemy being too well prepared.
Come to comfort yourself.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?
Should we continue to attack the city?"
Tadun's guard commander looked at the flames burning below and above the city, with a hint of panic in his eyes.
"The morale of the soldiers is low now, and the chariots are gone. It is impossible to attack again. Instead of attacking in vain now, it is better to withdraw the troops, go back and build siege equipment, and attack another day."
Tadun shook his head slightly. Although the Wuhuan people claimed that everyone was a soldier, in the final analysis they were just herdsmen on war horses.
It might be okay for them to ride horses and fight in the field, but if they want to attack the city, it will cost them their lives.
A siege war is purely a matter of life and death. Whoever can persevere more, who is braver, and whoever is less afraid of death will have a greater chance of winning. If you are a little timid, then it is simply impossible to kill people and seize the city.
Possible things.
"Your Majesty, I feel that five chariots are not enough. It is better to spend two days building siege equipment. As long as the number of chariots is enough, I believe that we can definitely capture Yuyang City in one fell swoop.
Moreover, we can also use these two days to restore the morale of the soldiers, and at the same time, we can wait for the arrival of Lord Wugan's partial army."
Mei Daer was depressed for a while. They fought for two days, but the Yuyang City Wall still stood there so strongly, like a natural chasm, no matter how many casualties they suffered, they could not conquer it.
"Well, you're right, let's do it like this. Take a two-day break. On the one hand, we can build siege equipment, especially the chariots. On the other hand, we can also wait for Wu Gan's arrival. He should arrive in three or four days.
."
After hearing what Mei Dal said, Tadun also felt that he had been working too hard in the past two days and it was time to rest for two days.
After Tadun finished speaking, he left directly with his own horsemen and ran towards the camp. The remaining Wuhuan people did not hesitate and followed Tadun to evacuate towards the camp like a tide.
"Clean the battlefield and repair the city walls."
Xu Rong watched the enemies leaving, arranged things on the city wall, and went down to the city wall again to report to Xun Chen.
After two days of fierce fighting, Yuyang City also fell into a brief calm. The Wuhuan people were doing their best to build siege equipment, and the Yuyang defenders were doing their best to strengthen the city defense to guard against the enemy's attack.
"Clan chief, Wuhuandandun's envoy asks for an audience."
While there was a fierce battle in Yuyang, Tadun's envoy finally arrived at Kebineng's tribe.
"The envoy of Wuhuandandun?"
Kebi was stunned when he heard the identity of the person coming. Wuhuan and Xianbei had always kept a close eye on each other. He didn't understand what the Wuhuan people meant by sending someone here now.
"Yes, he is Tadun's envoy."
Cobinen's bodyguard nodded.
"Let him come in and see me."
Although I don't know what Tadun's envoy means when he comes, since others are coming from afar, they must not lose etiquette.
"promise."
The guards directly clasped their fists, turned around and left the tent.
"Bao Rilan, the envoy of King Wuhuandandun, is here to meet your lord."
Bao Rilan saluted directly to Cobineng.
"Bao Rilan, right? Why did Tadun ask you to come?"
Kebi Neng looked at Bao Rilan and frowned slightly, wondering what he was doing.
"My king has led his troops south to invade the Han Dynasty. He sent me here to invite you to join us in sending troops."
Bao Rilan glanced at Cobineng and directly stated the reason for his coming.
"Invasion of the Han Dynasty from the south?
I'm afraid Tadun has eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage, right?"
When Bao Rilan spoke, the Xianbei man next to Kebi Neng sneered directly in response.
"Uk, don't talk."
Kebineng frowned slightly.
"Isn't it a bit risky for your king to invade the Han Dynasty from the south?"
After scolding Uk, Kebi was able to question Bao Rilan again.
"My king has completed the unification of the Wuhuan grassland, but the Han Dynasty has not yet unified it. It is the time to invade the south.
If they are allowed to continue, once the Han war is over, the Han people will definitely launch a war against us based on their situation.
Instead of waiting for them to arrive, it is better to take advantage of the Han's unstable footing and strike first, go south first, plunder Youzhou to supply himself, and further weaken the Han's power.
In this way, even if the Han Dynasty is unified, the weak Youzhou will not be enough to support the Han Dynasty in the Northern Expedition."
Bao Rilan glanced at Cobineng and directly explained the meaning of the southern expedition.
After Bao Rilan finished speaking, Kebi Neng looked at him and was surprised. He did not expect that a Wuhuan person could say such words. It seemed that Tadun was indeed not an easy person to be able to unite the Wuhuan tribe.
"The invasion of the Han Dynasty from the south is of great importance. Let me think about it before I can give you an answer."
"Here comes someone."
Kobi can speak directly to the outside.
"exist."
The two guards directly opened the curtain and entered the big tent.
"Send the messenger down to rest."
After hearing what Kebineng said, Bao Rilan had nothing to say. He saluted directly and then left with Kebineng's personal guards.
"Immediately summon people above the captain to come to my big tent to discuss matters."
After Bao Rilan left, Kebi Neng immediately ordered the generals of the clan and above to come to the big tent to discuss matters.
Soon all the generals under the command of Kebineng gathered in Kebineng's tent. A group of people looked at Kebineng and wondered what he meant by calling him over.
"Wuhuan King Tadun has led the Wuhuan tribe south to invade the Han Dynasty. He has now sent an envoy to ask us to seize the opportunity of the Han Dynasty to unify and plunder together. What do you think?"
Kebi Neng looked at his generals and directly said what Bao Rilan said.
Hearing Kebineng's words, everyone felt dizzy. Wuhuan had so many talents, even if they only had so many unified forces, they dared to invade the Han Dynasty from the south and invited themselves to join them. They were really speechless.
"Chief, I think the most important thing for us now is to unify the Xianbei grassland. Everything else is trivial. If we really want to invade the south now, then once they unite, they will definitely cause great trouble to us."
A Han-looking general frowned and spoke directly to Kebi Neng.
Kebineng's rise is due to his ability to know people well and assign them well. This Han general was a general he picked out from among his slaves and then promoted him. Not only this man, but also capable men from other tribes in the Kebineng tribe.
Quite a bit, this is what makes him different from most Xianbei people.
"Lu Guang, as you are a Han, you naturally know what the Han people think. The Han people have not been unified yet. If the unification is really completed, what do you think the first thing the Han people should do?"
Kebi Neng looked at Lu Guang, a light flashed in his eyes.
"If the Han Dynasty completes its unification again, then the Han people will definitely launch an offensive against the surrounding foreign races, because the Han people flaunt their achievements. If the new emperor comes to power and can open up territory for the Han Dynasty, he will definitely leave his name in history."
Lu Guang glanced at Cobineng, thought for a while and then directly expressed his thoughts.
"Does this mean that even if we don't join the Wuhuan people in their southern invasion now, they will attack us after they unify?"
After hearing what Lu Guang said, Captain Wu Ke also directly said what he meant.
"I'm not sure about this. After all, the Xianbei people are powerful, but the strength of the Wuhuan people is not worth mentioning. Once the Han Dynasty is unified, the Wuhuan people will definitely be attacked. Tadun saw this and took advantage of the Han Dynasty to gain a foothold.
Unstable and brazenly invading southward."
Facing Wu Ke's words, Lu Guang thought for a moment and gave his answer.
"You're not sure that's possible?
If the Han really want to conquer us in the north, and Xianbei has not been able to unify them by then, how should we resist them?"
Keli, the captain of ten thousand men, glanced at Lu Guang and then aimed his gaze at Kebineng.
"What Keli said makes sense. Although we may provoke attacks from the big men if we go south now, it is not possible for us to unify the Xianbei grassland in a short time.
So we need time, and gaining time depends not only on how long it takes for the Han to unify, but also how long the Wuhuan people can withstand the Han's attack."
Kebi could hear everyone's analysis and nodded. It seemed that the people under his command were not all reckless men with big muscles in their brains. He was very satisfied to be able to analyze these things.
"The chief means to send troops south to support the Wuhuan people?"
Uk couldn't help but nodded after hearing Cobineng's words.
"Chief, if we send troops now, it will be equivalent to telling the big Han that we support Tadun. Once they find out, they will definitely choose to join forces with Bu Dugen and let him send troops to entangle us. After they finish dealing with Tadun, the next step will be to send troops northward.
With Budugen encircling us, how should we respond when the time comes?"
Lu Guang glanced at Cobineng. Although he said this, he still had to tell the consequences.
"Haha, the Han Dynasty is such a wise man. There are too many people smarter than us. They will definitely think that Tadun will contact us. Maybe his people have already joined forces with Bu Dugen."
