Chapter 1055 - 1055 510 Siblings Join the Battle (Second Update)
?Chapter 1055: 510 Siblings Join the Battle (Second Update) Chapter 1055: 510 Siblings Join the Battle (Second Update) The Gu Family’s army had started preparing to besiege the city since yesterday, but aside from a few people like Gu Changqing, no one knew exactly which city they were going to attack.
According to the news brought back by the scouts of the Gu Family’s army, the Chen Kingdom’s army anticipated that Gu Changqing would first attack Beiyang City, and right now, Ye City had already begun to send reinforcements to Beiyang City.
“This is very good, Lingguan City with its thirty thousand troops, is not our match,” said one of the commanders in the barracks. “Moreover, Beiyang City is farther from Lingguan City than Ye City is. If the Chen Kingdom’s forces really go to Beiyang City, even if they realize they have been deceived and want to turn back to reinforce Lingguan City, they might not make it in time.”
Gu Changqing looked at the sand table map of the cities and estimated the distance between them in his mind.
Beiyang City, Lingguan City, Yuegu City, and Ye City, conveniently occupied the four cardinal directions: north, south, west, and east, respectively. Beiyang City was to the north, facing the distant Lingguan City to the south.
But Beiyang City was not so far from Yuegu City to the west.
If they realized they had been fooled, the first thing they would do would not be to reinforce Lingguan City, but to attack Yuegu City with their army.
After voicing his analysis, the commanders to his left and right had differing opinions on how many troops to deploy.
The right commander said, “We should move out with our entire force, quickly dispose of them, and then rush back. We might not necessarily be later than the Chen Kingdom’s army.”
The left commander said, “Yuegu City is eighty miles from Lingguan City, and also eighty miles from Beiyang City. As soon as we lay siege, Beiyang City will receive the message by carrier pigeon. How long will the siege take? By the time we turn back, I’m afraid it might be too late.”
The right commander spoke vehemently, “Then we’ll fight another battle! Take back Yuegu City!”
The left commander stated solemnly, “But the civilians in the city will suffer from the war, and the wounded and defenders will be slaughtered.”
The right commander fell silent.
Although he favored aggressive tactics, he was not disregardful of the lives of the civilians and the soldiers at the border pass.
