Chapter 148 Western Region Attack

Zhong Wenbin nodded slightly, turned to the crowd, and began to seriously discuss the specific details of the operation: "If we want to successfully attack the Western Region, we must first clarify the timing and route of our respective attacks.

The Daliang army will launch a frontal attack to draw out the main force from the Western Regions. The Northern Qiang will need to launch a quick flank attack to disrupt their position."

Jiang Chen echoed, "Or, we can send an army under the banner of Northern Qiang and attack the Western Regions..."

Everyone gathered around the map, discussing every detail in detail, and the atmosphere gradually became tense and full of anticipation.

After the discussion, everyone returned to their camps to prepare for the next action.

Jiang Chen stepped forward to escort Yelu Mengmeng back to the Northern Qiang camp. Zuo Yongyu followed, pulled him aside, and whispered, "Your Highness, do you truly believe that the Northern Qiang will abide by their agreement and cooperate with us in the fight?"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and patted Zuo Yongyu on the shoulder: "General Zuo, this battle is not only about the fate of Daliang, but also about the Northern Qiang. I believe the Third Princess is trustworthy."

Zuo Yongyu nodded. Although he still had some concerns, he trusted Jiang Chen's judgment: "I understand, Your Highness. I will fully cooperate."

At this moment, a soldier hurried into the hall, holding a letter in his hand, and reported anxiously: "Report to the general, there is urgent information outside the city!"

Zhong Wenbin immediately stood up, his expression changed: "What's the news?"

The soldier handed over the letter, and Zhong Wenbin quickly opened it, his eyes quickly scanning the contents of the letter.

His expression gradually grew solemn. Finally, he placed the letter heavily on the table and said in a deep voice, "The vanguard troops from the Western Regions have begun their movement! They quietly mobilized 30,000 troops during the night, preparing to launch a surprise attack on Liangzhou City at dawn!"

Upon hearing the news, the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became tense.

Jiang Chen was startled and quickly walked to Zhong Wenbin's side and asked in a low voice: "General, how should we respond?"

Zhong Wenbin pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping across the crowd before settling on Jiang Chen and Yelu Mengmeng. "The Western Regions are moving so swiftly. Clearly, the Northern Qiang's plan has worked. They believe they will join forces with the Western Regions to capture Daliang! We must be prepared for their sudden attack."

Upon hearing this, Yelu Mengmeng immediately said, "I can mobilize a group of light cavalry from the Northern Qiang to circumvent them from the west and cut off their supply lines."

Jiang Chen also nodded in agreement: "The task of frontal defense will be handed over to the Daliang army. We can use the defensive advantages of the city walls to resist the offensive from the Western Regions."

Zhong Wenbin listened to their suggestions and nodded, his expression still serious. "Okay, let's do as you say. Zuo Yongyu, immediately mobilize the archers and catapults to prepare for the enemy's attack."

Zuo Yongyu took the order and left. The other generals in the hall also stood up and began to prepare.

Afterwards, Jiang Chen sent Dianzhang to send Yelu Mengmeng back to the Northern Qiang camp to avoid attacks from the Western Regions.

As night fell, the lights on the city walls grew brighter. The Daliang soldiers prepared nervously, with arrows piled in bundles on the walls and catapults ready.

Jiang Chen stood on the city wall, overlooking the wilderness outside Liangzhou City. He felt both nervous and calm, knowing full well the importance of this battle.

He glanced at the soldiers around him and saw their nervous expressions and determined eyes. Everyone firmly believed that this battle would be won!

Suddenly, a low horn sound came from a distance, breaking the silence of the night.

Jiang Chen's heart trembled, and he quickly turned his head to look into the distance. In the darkness in the distance, he could vaguely see a moving black shadow, as if a dark cloud was approaching Liangzhou City.

He quickly turned and shouted orders to the soldiers around him: "Archers, prepare! When the enemy is within range, release your arrows immediately!"

The soldiers quickly adjusted their positions, and the archers drew their bowstrings, their eyes fixed on the movements outside the city.

Zuo Yongyu stood beside Jiang Chen and whispered, "Your Highness, the vanguard troops from the Western Regions have indeed begun to move."

The wind gradually grew stronger, and the footsteps of the Western Region army were getting closer and closer.

In the darkness of the night, the confrontation between the two sides became increasingly tense. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the moment that would decide the outcome.

Finally, the Western Regions army entered the range. Jiang Chen's eyes fixed, and he waved his hand fiercely and ordered: "Shoot!"

Following his order, a rain of arrows was shot at the vanguard troops of the Western Regions.

The Western Region soldiers were caught off guard and were immediately caught off guard by the rain of arrows. The front-row soldiers fell one after another and the formation was instantly in chaos.

However, the generals from the Western Regions were obviously experienced and quickly ordered the rearrangement of the formation while advancing the catapults and launching a counterattack.

For a moment, on the battlefield outside Liangzhou City, the shouts of killing shook the sky, arrows and boulders whizzed through the air, and the two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle.

Jiang Chen stood on the city wall, his eyes fixed on the battlefield. His heart was in turmoil, but he remained calm on the surface.

As the battle continued, the Western Region army gradually restored order and began to advance in an orderly manner.

The catapults from the Western Regions launched huge rocks, which slammed heavily onto the walls of Liangzhou City, making a deafening sound.

Zuo Yongyu frowned and said nervously, "Your Highness, the enemy's offensive is getting more and more fierce, and our arrows will soon be exhausted."

Jiang Chen frowned, then asked, "Second Young Master, haven't you attacked the enemy from the side yet?"

Jiang Chen was anxious, but he knew that if Zhong Xiaodan's troops did not launch an attack from the flank in time, Daliang's defense line would soon be destroyed by the fierce offensive of the Western Region army.

Zuo Yongyu also seemed a little uneasy. He replied, "Your Highness, I haven't received any news from the Second Young Master. Perhaps he encountered some obstacles..."

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth, feeling vaguely uneasy. Zhong Xiaodan had rich battlefield experience, so he shouldn't be so slow.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and his eyes became sharp: "General Zuo, immediately send scouts to the direction of the Second Young Master to investigate the situation! We can't just sit there and wait for death!"

The Western Region army's offensive showed no signs of weakening, and they gradually advanced to the vicinity of the city wall.

Jiang Chen watched the enemy getting closer and closer, and his anxiety grew.

He knew that if he did not take action, the enemy would climb the city walls and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Daliang soldiers. In that case, the defense line of Liangzhou City would become extremely vulnerable.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid horse hooves sounded from a distance.

Jiang Chen quickly turned his head and saw a scout rushing towards him with an anxious look on his face.

The scout quickly dismounted and knelt before Jiang Chen, breathlessly reporting, "Your Highness! General Annan's troops encountered an ambush from the Western Regions on their way to the flank, and a fierce battle is now underway!"
