Naruto: History of the Warring States Period

In Lelang City, in the Northern Army Command Headquarters, General Stockton also had bloodshot eyes listening to his adjutant reporting the loss of personnel and materials this time.

"This time, our casualties reached 5,000, of which 3,000 were killed in battle, 1,500 were seriously injured, 500 were slightly injured, and 30 trebuchets lost 30. As for other supplies, the above is We lost in this morning the opponent’s sneak attack, and according to our approximate statistics, the opponent’s loss was about 10,000 or more, with a battle loss ratio of 1:2, but because of the opponent’s base, in fact we are still at a disadvantage! "

Every time the adjutant said a data, General Stockton's brows were furrowed. When the adjutant had finished reporting the data, his brows had been condensed into a Chinese character, and he remained silent.

"Everyone, now we have less than 80,000 defenders in Lelang City, but the enemy still has at least 160,000, which is twice ours. Do you have any good suggestions for this?"

Finally, after pondering for a while, General Stockton raised his head and asked loudly to the other high-level Northern Legion generals whispering in the meeting hall.

"General, I personally think that there is no good way anymore. This time the group of northern guys are coming aggressively, and we have used all the methods that can be used. Moreover, it is coming to winter soon. Therefore, the other party There are only two options, either withdraw the army or attack by force. There is no other way. After all, the supplies on the grassland are also a huge pressure, but I think the possibility of the other party's retreat is very small. After all, this time they will gather. In addition to almost all the combat power that can be launched on the grassland, if you can’t get the results that match it, then not to mention that Bark is unwilling, even the leaders of the various tribes on the grassland will resent him so much. Barker's sweat is unstable."

Just after Stockton’s questioning, a calm-faced middle-aged man of the same age stood up and analyzed that this middle-aged man was the trump card division of the Northern Army and the commander of the first division, Ji. General En, is also the deputy commander of the entire Northern Army. He has worked with General Stockton for many years, and also participated in the war 20 years ago with the other side.

"Well, I think so too. Since no one has any other ideas, then I hereby order that from now on, the defense of the whole city will be increased by one level again, and the opponent is likely to launch such a surprise attack tomorrow as well as today. !"

Seeing no one else was speaking, General Stockton nodded, then stood up and ordered loudly.

"Yes!"

...

"Khan, it is almost entering winter now. We must capture Lelang City before winter comes. Otherwise, as the weather gets colder and colder, the consumption of food will be greatly accelerated. We don’t have much food and grass. Now!"

A rough voice came from Balk's big tent.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

This is the fact that in the past five days, the leaders of the various tribes on these grasslands have seen that they have been unable to attack Lelang City under the command of Balk for a long time. Although they have not fully seen Balk’s intentions, they have become more and more in the winter. As they approached, they also began to become anxious. Although they were also very distressed for the dead army. After all, this was their strength, but they were still dreaming about plundering a large amount of imperial wealth and women and other materials.

"Everyone, I understand what you mean, and I also know what you are worried about. I am also very anxious about this. This time I call everyone here to discuss the next situation!"

Raising his hand and swaying it slightly, Barker, who was sitting in the main seat, explained in a loud voice, seeing everyone looking at him again, he continued:

"Everyone, I decided to launch a general attack on Lelang City tomorrow. This time, we will not stop if we don’t take Lelang City! We will strive to fully occupy Lelang City in winter and use Lelang City as our front base. , Develop steadily, and wait for the spring of the coming year when we launch a general attack on the empire. Although I don’t dream of defeating the empire or destroying the empire altogether, this is unrealistic after all, but I hope that we can occupy Lelang City. After learning the lessons from 20 years ago, Lelang City slowly developed and gradually moved the population of our grassland to the south, until we completely occupied this area!"

"But, Khan, you, what you said is true?"

"Impossible, Khan, you actually want it?"

"This……"

"..."

After Bark finished speaking, there was a lot of exclamation in the whole big account instantly, and no one thought that Bark's real purpose was actually this.

These simple-minded guys like them really didn’t expect that Barker had such big ambitions, not just wanting to make a vote and leaving, but also the idea of ​​occupying Lelang City for a long time, and occupying the whole This border area north of Lelang City in the north of the empire.

Although there are not many cities in this area, and most of them are small towns, and the internal environment of the empire is relatively bad, this is only relatively speaking. For the people of the steppes, this area is already the paradise they dream of. At this moment, after Balk said such an idea, everyone's originally anxious expressions also quickly changed, and while they were amazed, there was a deep greed in their eyes.

Looking at the leaders below whose ambitions in their hearts have been mobilized by their own words, Barker's eyes are also very satisfied, but the cold light in the depths of his expression is very much hidden by him. it is good.

...

In the early morning of the next day, there was still a thick white mist inside and outside Lelang City, but what was inconsistent with this dense fog was that at this moment, both inside and outside Lelang City shouted to kill the sky.

It turned out that in the early hours of this morning, taking advantage of the heavy fog, the foreign nations in the north, as General Stockton had guessed, launched a sneak attack on Lelang City as they did yesterday. At this moment, they have been fighting for a long time.

As the fighting time gets longer and longer, the thick fog has gradually thinned, and at this moment, standing in a tall tower, looking at the battle below with indifference, as if the battle below has nothing to do with him. .

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

At this moment, the loud horn in the distance suddenly sounded, making General Stockton's indifferent eyes gradually becoming harder to look.
