Chapter 1474: Lob Tenzin's Decision

After noon, teams of scouts from Gongbu City left one after another to explore in all directions.

At the same time, many soldiers in the city also became busy, seizing the time to prepare dry food.

At dawn the next day, a large group of cavalry rushed out of Gongbu and headed straight for the 30,000 enemy troops west of Gongbu.

This enemy force came to support from the direction of Xiquwang City.

Originally, this enemy force should have reached Gongbu a few days ago.

But as Gongbu was captured, the enemy troops stopped advancing towards Gongbu and chose to set up camp in a strategic location about thirty miles away from Gongbu.

Qin Qihu had been planning to attack this enemy force these days, but this enemy force had always chosen to defend itself, giving Qin Qihu's cavalry no chance to launch a surprise attack.

As the Daqian cavalry group took action, Lobsang Tenzin, who had already led a part of his troops across the Gema River and joined Gasmai's troops, also received the news first.

"Are you sure the enemy is attacking Yun Zheng's flag?"

After receiving the news brought back by the spy, Lob Tenzin immediately became restless.

"Sure!"

The spy said confidently: "The attire of Yun Zheng's personal guards is different from that of other cavalrymen. I can see it clearly!"

After receiving the spy's affirmative answer, Lob Tenzin immediately began to think.

What does Yun Zheng want to do?

Could it be that they want to take over Ramcuo's 30,000 troops?

He had also received news before that a group of cavalry from Gongbu City had left the city twice, trying to find an opportunity to attack Ramcuo's 30,000 troops, but they returned empty-handed.

Has Yun Zheng already thought of a way to defeat Ramcuo’s 30,000 troops?

Lob Tenzin was very clear about the strength of Ramcuo's 30,000 troops.

Almost half of these 30,000 troops were slave soldiers.

Although these slave armies should be stronger than other slave armies, a slave army is still a slave army. How strong can they be?

If they fight hard, with the strength of Yun Zheng's personal guards and elite cavalry, they can definitely defeat Ramcuo's 30,000 troops.

But at the same time, Yun Zheng and his men will definitely suffer huge losses.

According to his understanding, Yun Zheng never likes to engage in head-on confrontation with the enemy.

What this person is best at are the endless conspiracies and intrigues.

Moreover, given the current situation of Daqian and Xiqu, there is absolutely no need for Yun Zheng to confront them head-on at this time!

It's definitely not a head-on confrontation!

Lob Tenzin quickly determined this and continued to think.

He originally planned to wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when more troops would withdraw to the other side of the Gema River, to send people to guard the crossing point, to prevent Zhao Ji's troops from crossing the river, and to join forces with Ramcuo's troops to launch a fierce attack on Gongbu.

But now, Yun Zheng suddenly led his elite cavalry towards Ramcuo.

This caught him off guard.

Lobsang Tenzin quickly summoned several generals to discuss countermeasures with them.

"Yun Zheng will definitely not choose to confront Ramcuo's troops head-on!"

Gasmai made the same judgment, "Yun Zheng is insidious and cunning, and he is full of tricks. He probably came up with a trick to break through Ramcuo's troops!"

Another general frowned slightly, "But, Ramcuo's deployment shouldn't be a big problem, right? What tricks can Yun Zheng come up with?"

Although Yun Zheng and his men occupied Gongbu City, they still sent people to contact Ramcuo's troops and learned about Ramcuo's defense arrangements.

According to Ramcuo's arrangement, if Yun Zheng and his more than 10,000 cavalrymen wanted to defeat Ramcuo's troops, it would be impossible without suffering more than 5,000 casualties.

For them, defeating Ramcuo's troops in exchange for the casualties of 5,000 elite cavalry was only a barely acceptable result, let alone Yun Zheng?

Facing this person's question, Gasmai couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If we can guess Yun Zheng's tricks, we will all be Yun Zheng."

That’s Yun Zheng!

His title of the best general in the world was earned through hard work!

How could they guess Yun Zheng’s thoughts?

"In the face of a great war, don't say words that will only boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige!"

Lobsang Tenzin raised his hand to stop Gasmai, "Yun Zheng is leading his guards to attack, so he must be sure to defeat the 30,000 troops in Ramcuo's hands! The question now is, should we find a way to support Ramcuo's troops, or attack Gongbu in advance to force Yun Zheng to return for help?"

As he spoke, Lobsang Tenzin analyzed the current situation with a few others.

He had already received news from Ramcuo that King Chinpu had completely abandoned the royal city and was leading his army to attack, intending to fight a decisive battle with Yun Zheng.

Among Chinpu's 50,000 troops, there were less than 15,000 armored soldiers.

Moreover, it was a temporary reorganization formed by forcibly gathering the troops of various nobles.

The overall combat power of their 50,000 troops would not be much stronger than Ramcuo's 30,000 troops.

If Ramcuo's troops were easily defeated by Yun Zheng, Qinpu's troops, who were currently leading their troops towards Gongbu, would also be at risk of being defeated.

In order to have a decisive battle with Yun Zheng, Qin Pu even gave up the Xiqu Royal City!

Once King Chinpu falls into Yun Zheng's hands, what will be the point even if tens of thousands of armored soldiers from Gadu Mountain and other tribes come to kill us, even if they capture Gongbu?

After listening to Robdan's analysis, several generals also looked worried.

At this point in the battle, it was a situation of kings fighting each other.

Whoever captures the other side's king will win!

This is a big gamble!

"Then launch an attack on Gongbu in advance and force Yun Zheng to return for help!"

Gasmai was the first to agree with Lobtenzin's idea.

Upon hearing Gasmai's words, the general beside him frowned immediately: "We have less than 60,000 troops now. It would be unwise to attack Gongbu rashly..."

If they waited two more days, they would have at least 20,000 more troops to cross the Gema River.

And other armies gathering towards Gongbu will be able to get closer to Gongbu.

If we attack then, we will have a better chance of success.

"Are 60,000 troops not enough?"

Another general shouted angrily: "Yun Zheng dared to attack Gongbu with such a small number of people. We already have 60,000 troops, and a large number of troops will arrive in the next few days. You dare not fight?"

“This is not a question of dare or not!”

The other party immediately retorted: "What if we fail to attack Gongbu effectively and suffer losses, and even cannot defend the place where we cross the river? What should we do if Zhao Ji leads his army to attack us?"

He was not afraid of attacking Gongbu, but was afraid of the army led by Zhao Ji behind him!

Once Zhao Ji's large army crosses the Gema River, there will be no need to fight the next battle!

After hearing his words, the general suddenly stopped talking.

Because what he said is true.

"Then let's feint!"

Lob Tenzin made a quick decision.

"A feint might not be enough."

Gasmai suggested: "We may have to send out a cavalry to contain Yun Zheng. Otherwise, if Yun Zheng sees through our feint attack plan, our feint attack force will be in danger..."

Luo Budanzeng said nothing, and continued to think with his head lowered...
