Chapter 2381 Meng Huo's determination
Yong Kai did not expect that it was precisely because of his failure in the war outside the city that the Wang family had dissatisfaction.
Not only the Wang family, but also the Li family also had more thoughts. The Li family naturally knew what the defenders in the city looked like. Can these improvised armies really be able to fight against the Chang'an army? However, the Li family did not
They plan to give up, mainly because the Jin King's treatment of the aristocratic family is too cruel. Although the Yizhou aristocratic family is safe and sound for the time being, it is extremely risky for the Li family to seek refuge with such a monarch. If something happens in the future, the family's strength will appear.
More severe damage.
The aristocratic family attaches great importance to the interests of the family. They will not make decisions easily unless it is a life-or-death moment. They want to make the family stronger. Even if there is a war, they do not want the family to be destroyed in the turmoil.
Eighty percent of the private soldiers in the family have been handed over to the army, which makes the Li family even more afraid. Private soldiers are of great significance to the family. Without enough private soldiers in their hands, it is difficult for them to feel safe.
It is said that under Lu Bu's rule, the aristocratic family was not allowed to have private soldiers, and even the number of guards was very small.
The southern counties were not even willing to obey the orders of the Prefectural Mufu. How could they be willing to suffer such oppression under Lu Bu's rule?
The Li family continues to wait and see. If Yong Kai leads the army and it is difficult to defend the city, they will take refuge with Lu Bu. If they can defend the city, it will be a big help to the Li family. The Li family has contributed a lot in defending the city.
With less power, this will play a great role in improving the Li family's status in the city.
Only by giving can you achieve greater gains. The Li family does not agree with the Wang family's way of doing things.
On the night he returned to the city, Yong Kai not only summoned the heads of the Wang family and the Li family to the prefect's mansion, but also all the important officials in the city and the generals in the army received orders. It was related to the life and death of Dianchi Lake. At this time, we must unite as one.
, can we go further on the road against the enemy. Otherwise, once people appear in the city and seek refuge with others, the generals and officers in the army will not achieve good results no matter how hard they work on the battlefield.
A strong city is often broken from the inside. Although Yong Kai was only the head of the Yong family before, he still understood some principles. He was also a member of the family, and he was also extremely knowledgeable about how the family would behave when faced with danger.
Clearly, if the determination of the aristocratic family cannot be mobilized, it will be difficult to get the aristocratic family to be willing to invest its strength in defending the city.
After the group discussed for a long time, Yong Kai was quite satisfied. Judging from the looks of the civilian and military officers, they were extremely obedient to his orders.
Yong Kai was planning how to defend the Chang'an Army. The morale of the barbarian army was also very low. They suffered a terrible defeat on the battlefield. The most important thing was that the pride in their hearts was shattered by the Chang'an Army in this battle. Like
Soldiers are invincible in the eyes of barbarian soldiers. Whenever elephant soldiers go to battle, the barbarian army can easily win the victory.
This confrontation with the Chang'an Army disappointed the barbarian soldiers. Their biggest reliance suffered heavy losses. Only 18 of the 500 elephants returned to the army.
After returning to the camp, Meng Huo also came to his senses. After this battle, the barbarian soldiers lost more than 4,000 people. Of the 10,000 barbarian soldiers who went out to fight, there are now only more than 5,000 people left. The elite elephant soldiers are no longer available.
Have combat effectiveness.
Meng Huo knew how difficult it is to train elephant soldiers. This is why Meng Huo still wanted to attack the enemy despite the fierce attack of the Chang'an army and his own situation was not good. The strength of the elephant soldiers was seriously damaged.
, his status among the barbarians will be reduced a lot.
At this time, Meng Huo transferred all his hatred to Lu Bu. If it weren't for Lu Bu, the barbarians would not have suffered such heavy losses.
"Barbarian King, the Chang'an army has won a great victory. My subordinates suggested that Barbarian King lead the army back to the tribe." Dong She said.
Ah Hui Nan echoed: "King Barbarian, our army has suffered serious losses. If we don't leave, we may be in danger. The enemy army has nearly 40,000 people."
Meng Huo's face was gloomy and he was silent for a long time and said: "The soldiers under my command are brave and good at fighting. How can I retreat easily because of the enemy's elite force? As long as we stick to the camp, there is nothing the enemy can do to me." After sending tens of thousands of troops,
It would be a huge shame for Meng Huo if he could not get the desired results and return to the barbarian tribe in despair.
The Chang'an army must pay a sufficient price for the humiliation of previous defeats. "Inform the Great Cave Master to send five thousand elite troops. I don't believe it. The elite barbarian soldiers can't defeat the Chang'an army?" Meng Huo snorted coldly.
.
Dong Shena and A Huinan looked at each other and could only agree. Meng Huo's prestige among the barbarian tribes was beyond the reach of the two of them. Now that Meng Huo had made a decision, they would do their best to help Meng Huo.
Get victory.
However, the loss of the elephant soldiers made the two of them panic. Without the help of the elephant soldiers, could they have won when facing the Chang'an army? For the first time, the two of them had doubts about the combat effectiveness of the barbarian army.
The barbarian soldiers in the southern counties have always shown a strong side. No matter how powerful the enemy is, they will not retreat easily. However, this time, they encountered a huge challenge. The Chang'an army was too elite.
They even defeated the elephant soldiers, leaving the most powerful elite elephant soldiers of the barbarian tribe without the strength to fight.
After the two left, Meng Huo was silent for a long time, and his eyes gradually became firm. He had to win. For victory, it was worth paying even more price.
Judging from the situation on the battlefield today, the army in Yong Kai's hands is weak. As long as the barbarian army can defeat the Chang'an army, it will be easy for him to seize Dianchi Lake. However, such words cannot be said for the time being.
What Yong Kai heard would bring a lot of trouble to the barbarian army. After all, Yong Kai was a Han. If Yong Kai chose to join Lu Bu at the critical moment, Meng Huo would have no choice.
The next day, when he learned that Meng Huo had not left with his troops, Yong Kai felt relieved and once again sent his army officers to bring a large amount of rice to reward the barbarian soldiers.
Meng Huo had a high prestige among the barbarian army. After Meng Huo announced the order, although the generals in the tribe were hesitant, no one objected. They believed that Meng Huo would lead the tribe to a stronger situation.
However, the Chang'an Army led a large army to the outside of the city that day and formed a siege on the barbarian tribe's camp.
