It's very unusual that these two aren't on the front lines!
One is the Left Military Advisor of the Great Liang, and the other is the commander of the elite troops stationed in the Western Regions. Their absence from the battlefield is definitely not good news.
He had learned about Jia Xu back in Great Liang; Jia Xu was someone the current emperor of Great Liang trusted implicitly and must be in control of Great Liang's main force.
Now that his strategist is not on the front lines, he must have other schemes up his sleeve.
Thinking of this, Morandi's expression immediately darkened. He muttered to himself, "Hopefully it's not as I imagine, otherwise this tactic might fail."
After all, if Jia Xu wasn't here, he would definitely be waiting for Nishu on the other side, which would be troublesome.
"Even if the tactics fail, we must fight!"
A Long shook his head violently and said decisively, "The arrow is on the string and must be released. The Great Liang Empire can afford to delay, but we can't!"
If we don't fight this battle soon, we'll be dragged down and killed. We might as well go all in.
As an important strategist of the Great West Empire, he knew about the Great West Empire's grain reserves. If used in normal times, they could barely hold out.
However, the empire is now facing battles both inside and outside the country, and food supplies are running low.
They initially planned to come and eat the grain from the Frostwest Empire, but Ashina Tiandu, so they didn't take all the grain with them and there wasn't enough to eat at all.
Therefore, if the war cannot be ended in a short time, even if the Great Liang does not intervene, the Great West Empire will be forced to retreat, or it will be left with nothing but tree bark.
Morandi's face stiffened as he realized the logistical issue, and he immediately felt immense pressure.
yes.
Now that things have come to this point, we can't care about Jia Xu Jia Xu anymore.
Logistics and food supplies are already a weakness of the Great West Empire, and now it has to be consumed from both sides like this, it really won't be able to hold on.
Moreover, the war has already progressed to this point, and there is no way out. The Great West Empire has no way out either.
Unless I swim to the Land of the Far West, there is nowhere else in the All Under Heaven can live.
He smiled wryly, "That's all we can do now. If all else fails, we'll just have to fight it out. I refuse to believe that the combined forces of our three kingdoms can't defeat the Great Liang!"
Forehead!
Some of the Frostwest generals nearby couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances. This food supply was indeed a major problem. With nearly two million troops at the front, the daily food consumption was astronomical. Who could withstand that?
My God, it feels like there's no future in this world, and all I can do is wait to die.
They would either die in battle or starve to death.
Seeing the grim expressions on his men's faces, A Long took a deep breath and encouraged them, saying, "Gentlemen, it's not over until the very end, and we still don't know who will emerge victorious!"
We have reinforcements behind us, are we really afraid of those few people from Great Liang?
This is the West's home turf. So what if the Great Liang has two million troops? We can easily muster four million troops and wear them down!
Compared to his previous strategies, this was his true source of confidence.
"That's right!"
"That makes sense. Our two countries together have tens of millions of people. It wouldn't be difficult to muster a few million troops. We could overwhelm the enemy with sheer numbers!"
"Damn it, let's take them down!"
Everyone's eyes lit up; this was the real truth: there were many of us.
The enemy's numbers are dwindling with each battle, while our own numbers are increasing. This is our advantage; we can completely wear them down.
In an instant, their confidence returned.
Seeing them like this, A Long breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they still had a shred of fighting spirit, there was still a chance to fight.
Although the situation looks tense, the initiative is actually still in our own hands. After all, whether this war breaks out is entirely up to us.
However, this mission is not easy. After all, to lure the enemy away, simply running away is not enough; they need to fight and retreat simultaneously.
He looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, let's begin proceeding according to the plan. But let me make this clear: unless absolutely necessary, you are not allowed to leave your position!"
If they flee without even fighting, it will completely destroy the morale of the soldiers, which is not a good thing.
He had previously set up numerous traps and defenses, which should be enough to hold off the enemy for a while.
"Don't worry, sir!"
Although everyone was afraid, they knew it was a necessary thing to do; otherwise, the country would be destroyed, and they themselves would become slaves of a conquered nation.
With a touch of bitterness, they returned to their respective positions.
Only after they had completely left did A Long's face darken. He said in a deep voice, "These people from the Frostwest Empire have no fighting spirit at all. If a real fight breaks out, they'll be nothing but a bunch of useless trash."
Send men to supervise the battle; if they dare to desert, wipe them out immediately!
He had long known that the Frostwest Empire was corrupt, but he never expected it to be such a bunch of useless fools who didn't even have the will to resist. It was utterly disappointing.
Asangni is supposed to be a high-ranking general, yet he has absolutely no opinions of his own and is even less capable than a lowly soldier.
"Yes!"
A Long's lieutenant nodded and immediately led his men to oversee the battle.
Looking at the fuming A Long, Morandi smiled wryly and explained, " Frostwest has been corrupt all these years, otherwise how could our Great West Empire have had the opportunity to rise?"
Moreover, this Asangni is just here to make up the numbers; the elite troops are all with Ashina Tiandu himself."
Frostwest wasn't stupid; how could she entrust all the elite troops to just the two of them? To put it bluntly, these guys were just a bunch of scoundrels, only slightly better than the average person.
"Depend on!"
A Long was dumbfounded; the words were crude, but the truth was sound.
He was speechless. No wonder Frostwest was going to be destroyed. If Great Liang didn't wipe them out this time, his own Great West Empire would probably destroy them too.
He instructed, " Old Mo, although we are covering for Nishu in this battle, the opponent is too strong, so I need to go all out."
That Jia Xu lurking in the shadows is in your hands. You mustn't let him ruin the overall situation.
He had a premonition that this so-called "poison master" was lurking in the shadows, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the battle, so he had to be extremely cautious.
His gaze drifted towards Frostwest New City, and he couldn't help but smile wryly, " Ashina Tiandu, Ashina Tiandu, I hope you can be more reliable this time, otherwise the pressure on us will be immense!"
This was the first time he had hoped that Ashina Tiandu and defeat the remaining troops of Great Liang.
If he can crush that side of the battlefield, he can quickly fight back and then encircle Great Liang with his own forces; this is the best chance of victory.
If we can't even defeat that small number of people, then we'll be forced into a direct confrontation, and the losses could be devastating.
