Chapter 620: Catapult Confrontation

Although Yu Tai was completely confused, he was still very happy that the enemy troops had retreated.

They did not lose a single soldier, and their original attack plan was not disrupted.

It's just that we need to delay some time to let all the ministries regroup into formation.

This result was already a huge surprise to Yu Tai.

"General Yu, do you think the enemy is stalling for time?"

At this time, Lou Yi took the initiative to ask.

"I don't even know."

Yu Tai shook his head slightly, "But I thought that if the enemy delayed us, it would only delay half an hour. I couldn't imagine the point of the enemy delaying for such a small amount of time."

"Yes! I'm confused too!" Lou Yi had a look of confusion on his face.

"Forget it if you don't understand. Maybe the enemy is deliberately disrupting our line of sight."

Yu Tai did not dwell on this issue and said with a serious face: "Your Highness, I think that our two departments should work together and not fight independently. Otherwise, I am afraid that the enemy will find us and defeat us individually. What an opportunity!”

Working together?

Lou Yi was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "General Yu, what are you talking about? Aren't our two departments always working together?"

"I hope so!" Yu Tai forced a smile.

Lou Yi glanced at Yu Tai suspiciously.

After thinking about it, Lou Yi's heart suddenly jumped and he exclaimed: "I know the enemy's purpose!"

"Oh?"

Yu Tai was surprised, "What did your Highness see?"

A look of understanding appeared on Lou Yi's face, and he said in a deep voice: "The enemy is deliberately pretending to attack your department, just to prevent me from sending troops to support your department, so as to create a gap between us and create a grudge against each other!"

Is that so?

Yu Tai thought silently for a while, nodded and said: "His Highness's guess is not unreasonable!"

"It must be so!"

Lou Yi was determined and said seriously: "I didn't send troops to support you just now because I wanted to hold the front line of defense and not give the enemy a chance to destroy our catapults. General Yu, please don't think too much, otherwise, we will be hit." The enemy’s plan!”

"Ah."

Yu Tai nodded slightly, "However, if this happens again next time, I still hope that we can work together! Just imagine, if the enemy did not feign an attack just now, but really attacked, and His Highness did not send troops to support, With just a few people from our department to support us, our department will definitely suffer heavy losses..."

Yu Tai didn't know if Lou Yi had any intention of using the Beifu Army to consume Qiu Chi's power.

But Lou Yi had been standing still just now, which still made him a little dissatisfied.

It's just that they are allies now, so he can't go too far.

"General Yu, I really have nothing else on my mind."

Lou Yi felt helpless in his heart and explained: "It's not that I don't send troops to support, but that I have to consider the entire battle situation! You and I are both generals. You should be able to see the consequences of opening the middle door..."

"I understand."

Yu Tai nodded, but there was some disbelief in his heart.

In the alliance between the two countries, he simply didn't believe anyone who had no selfish motives at all.

Lou Yi had already implicitly expressed his intention to recruit him before.

Combined with what happened just now, he had to wonder whether Lou Yi had plans to annex Qiu Chi's army.

At present, Qiu Chi's military strength is somewhat inferior to that of Dayue Kingdom.

If they suffered heavy losses today and lost some of their troops in subsequent attacks, their military strength would be even worse than that of the Dayue Kingdom.

After getting along with each other these days, he has already seen that Lou Yi is definitely a very capable and ambitious person.

When that time comes, who can guarantee that Lou Yi will not annex Qiu Chi's army?

Put yourself in his shoes, if he were Lou Yi, could he resist the temptation and not annex Qiu Chi's army?

The answer is obviously no!

Lou Yi guessed that Yu Tai's concerns had not been dispelled, and immediately tried to persuade him: "General Yu, we can't fall into the enemy's plan! Look, our troops were attacked by people wearing Qiu Chi's armor. But I have no doubts about General Yu!"

"Your Highness must do this. I can see this clearly." Yu Tai chuckled, "But Your Highness, the two of us are commanding separately, and there are still some problems with the cooperation between the departments! How should we solve this problem?"

How to solve?

Lou Yi secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

There is simply no solution to this problem.

It was impossible for him to hand over the army of Dayue Kingdom to Yu Tai's command and mobilization, and it was impossible for Yu Tai to hand over Qiu Chi's army to his command.

Although they all knew the disadvantages of separate command, they were unable to solve this problem at all.

If the Beifu Army wants to break through the frontal defense, it will definitely cost them lives.

Who can guarantee that if one's troops are put into the hands of the other side, the other side will not risk their own lives?

"There's simply no solution to this problem."

Lou Yi shook his head and sighed, "The most we can do is reach a consensus and each attack in one direction!"

Yu Tai was quite satisfied with Lou Yi's answer.

Of course he knew the problem was unsolvable.

He was just testing Lou Yi just now.

If Lou Yi asked him to hand over the command of Qiu Chi's army to Lou Yi, then he would really have to be careful about Lou Yi.

"Too."

Yu Tai smiled bitterly, "Forget it, let's not think about these things! Let's continue the attack according to the original plan! As long as we break through the enemy's frontal defense line, all problems will be solved."

"Yes!"

Lou Yi smiled and nodded, "Although the enemy's trick just now is very good, it can also be seen that the enemy's troops are really small and they don't dare to fight us! As long as we don't fight among ourselves, they will still have to find a way next. Destroy our catapults!”

"Your Highness is right!"

Yu Tai nodded and immediately ordered Qiu Chi's troops to readjust their formation and return to their previous state.

After more than half an hour, everything returned to its previous state.

As Lou Yi and Yu Tai issued orders at the same time, the soldiers on both sides slowly advanced again.

At the gap in the frontal city wall, the defensive force of the Beifu Army had turned into infantry in full formation.

"It seems that the enemy does not dare to destroy our catapult!"

Lou Yi looked at Yu Tai with a smile, "In that case, how about we let them taste the power of our catapult first?"

"it is good!"

Yu Tai also smiled.

They would naturally be happy if the enemy did not come to destroy the catapult.

They just use the catapult to slowly smash it. After a few more rounds, the enemy's wall will eventually collapse.

If you directly hit the defenders at the gap, you will definitely be able to kill many enemy soldiers.

On this point, neither of them had any objections.

As they continued to approach, the troops guarding the catapult entered a range of three hundred meters.

Just when they were about to move forward and look for guards to secure the catapult, several large rocks suddenly flew out from behind the city wall in front of them.

Looking at the flying stones, the smiles on Yu Tai and Lou Yi's faces suddenly solidified...
