Year 19 sat on the main seat and looked at the people below. After a while, he said, "Everyone, what do you think about today's attack?"
Nobody made a sound. Year 19 looked at General Chen and said, "General Chen, what do you think about today's attack?" When everyone heard Year 19, they couldn't help but stare. It was clear that Year 19 was dissatisfied with General Chen's suggestion yesterday. He believed that today's failure was all because of General Chen.
General Chen looked at Year 19 and said, "This general has no opinion." Then he closed his mouth and didn't make a sound.
"You!" Year 19 looked at General Chen and angrily pointed his finger at him. However, he couldn't say anything. Although the Wild Lion Tribe didn't send a lot of troops, they weren't easy to provoke. Year 19's attitude towards General Chen was already very excessive. If he dared to say anything, then General Chen wouldn't give him any face.
Year 19 took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He looked at General Chen and then turned to the crowd, "Everyone, what do you think about today's attack?"
Still, nobody made a sound. General Chen's example was there. Although today's attack was proposed by General Chen, Year 19 and the others agreed to it. Now that they failed, Year 19 seemed to be pushing all the blame onto General Chen. How could the others look at Year 19's actions? Even those who wanted to come up with ideas didn't say anything when they saw what happened to General Chen.
Year 19 looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, why did the city wall suddenly catch fire?"
Nobody made a sound. When Year 19 saw this, he was about to explode from anger. He turned his head to a person sitting on the side of the tent and said, "Mister Wu, why don't you tell us why the city wall caught fire? Did you notice it when you were in the sky? "
Mister Wu, who was wearing a warrior's uniform, sat there with a tired look on his face. When he heard Nian Nineu's words, he glanced at Nian Nineu and said in a deep voice, "Alliance Master, it's actually very simple. The people in the city poured kerosene on the city walls. That's why the city walls caught fire."
Hearing this, Nian Nineteen couldn't help but stare. Then he suddenly realized something and said, "Sprinkled with kerosene, no wonder it caught fire. But that's not right. If they really sprinkled kerosene on the walls, then the walls should be very slippery. How did they walk on the walls?"
Mister Wu replied, "The kerosene was poured later, not earlier. When the soldiers were fighting on the wall, they threw a lot of jars from below the wall. Those jars were filled with kerosene. But because everyone was busy fighting, nobody noticed it. Then some torches were thrown onto the wall. Because there was kerosene on the wall, the wall was set ablaze."
Year 119 asked solemnly, "Then what about their guards? Weren't the defenders burned as well? "
Mister Wu shook his head and said, "No, the armor of the defenders seems to have been specially treated. Aside from some people who were drenched in oil, the others didn't catch fire. Moreover, they jumped down from the wall. However, there was a thick layer of straw below the wall, as well as some large nets. Because of this, even though they jumped onto the wall, they didn't suffer any injuries. Only some of them suffered minor burns, the others didn't suffer any injuries."
Bang! Nian Nineu slapped the table in front of him and smashed it. Then he coldly snorted and said, "Hateful, too hateful. These bastards from Nanhua City actually used this method. Too hateful, too sinister, a group of treacherous villains."
The people in the tent looked at the furious Year 19 and couldn't help but feel disappointed. They were really disappointed. Year 19 was a League-Lord, but after the failure of the siege, he didn't know how to find out the reason for the failure. He just kept on getting angry and pushing the blame to others. Such a League-Lord was really disappointing.
Stone Hammer and the others were also looking at Nian Nineu. They didn't think that Nian Nineu would be like this. To be honest, they were looking down on Nian Nineu more and more. Compared to Zhao Hai, the difference between Nian Nineu and Zhao Hai was too big.
Year One Nine scolded for a while before calming down. Then he asked people to clean up the broken pieces of the table in front of him. Then a new table was brought in. Then he sat down and said to everyone, "The attack this time has failed. Everyone, tell me, is there any other way?"
Nobody made a sound. This time, nobody made a sound. Everyone had seen General Chen's appearance, so how could they come up with any ideas? Wouldn't that be just looking for trouble for themselves?
When Nian Nineu looked at everyone's appearance, he couldn't help but get even angrier. In the end, he asked a few more times, but nobody made a sound. This made Nian Nineu even angrier. However, he couldn't do anything about these people. In the end, he could only have them return.
Stone Hammer and the others returned to their own tent. After they sat down, Stone Hammer couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's a pity that so many brave soldiers met a General like Nian Nineu. In the end, they died without knowing why. It's really an incompetent General. I don't know if those people are regretting choosing Nian Nineu as their Alliance Lord."
Shi Ye coldly snorted and said, "Originally, I didn't think much about it. But after seeing Nian Nineu's performance today, to be honest, I'm very disappointed. Not only am I disappointed in Nian Nineu, I'm also disappointed in those city-states. In order to suppress City Lord Zhao Hai, they pushed Nian Nineu to the position of City Lord. But looking at what Nian Nineu did, I really don't know what to say."
Stone Hammer waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this matter anymore. Let's talk about something else. Today, Nian Nineu actually didn't give face to General Chen. This is something I didn't expect. What do you think?"
Shi Ye said, "It's because General Chen didn't send a lot of troops this time. Nian Nineu should be dissatisfied with General Chen. No, it should be said that Nian Nineu is dissatisfied with the Wild Lion Tribe. It's no wonder that the Wild Lion Tribe sent so few troops this time. Therefore, he used this as an excuse to not give face to General Chen. However, I think that this is an opportunity for us."
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Right, I also think that this is an opportunity for us. Before, we were worried that we wouldn't have a way to get in touch with General Chen. Now that Nian Nineu is publicly disrespecting General Chen, with the Wild Lion Tribe's character, General Chen wouldn't give face to Nian Nineu in the future. If we take this opportunity to get in touch with General Chen, then General Chen might turn to us in the future."
Shi Chui nodded and said, "I think so as well. It seems like we need to get in touch with General Chen. But you saw the situation in the tent today. Nineteen asked everyone if they had a way to deal with the enemy, but nobody said anything. I think it's because of General Chen's matter. General Chen came up with an idea and Nineteen agreed. Now that they failed, Nineteen pushed all the blame onto General Chen. The others were also afraid of following in General Chen's footsteps, so they didn't say anything. But if everyone doesn't say anything, then it would be impossible for Nineteen to deal with the South Hua Sect. Not only that, the South Hua Sect might even counterattack. I'm not worried about him, but I don't want the hundreds of thousands of soldiers to die here."
Shi Ye replied, "No, I don't think that will happen. Although Year 19 isn't that great, he still has some strategists under him. Those strategists might have noticed this problem and would certainly remind Year 19. Although Year 19 isn't that good in military matters, his ability in politics shouldn't be underestimated. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the Alliance Leader. It's very likely that he would contact those city-states and tell them that he wants to suppress General Chen. That's why he did what he did in exchange for the support of those city-states."
Stone Hammer stared for a moment, then he nodded and said, "That's possible. But I'm afraid that General Chen's days will be even harder." Stone Hammer stared for a moment, then he nodded and said, "That's possible.
Lu Yuan said in a low voice, "General Shi, how about this? We'll contact General Chen yesterday. Even if Nian Nineteen finds out, we'll still contact General Chen. After all, we're not on good terms with Nian Nineteen. If we contact the people he oppresses, no one can say anything."
Shi Ye thought for a moment, then he nodded and said, "Alright, we'll contact General Chen tomorrow. As for Nian Nineu's reaction, we can't care that much right now. Let's see what General Chen has to say. As for our camp, we must strengthen our defenses. I have a feeling that those fellows in Nanhua Gate are brewing a big conspiracy."
Shi Ye nodded and said, "Right, Nanhua Gate's garrison isn't simple. They've made ample preparations, just like how they lit a fire on the wall today. Who would've thought that someone would use this trick in the previous battles? But they did. It can be seen that the general defending the city is an extraordinary person. Moreover, they've been keeping a low profile these days. How could someone who's so knowledgeable about defending a city not know that a city is bound to be lost? They should be thinking of a counterattack, which would greatly increase the morale of the people in the city. However, he hasn't done so. It's clear that this guy is definitely brewing some big scheme. Perhaps he has already launched it, but we haven't discovered it yet. "
Shi Ye nodded and said, "It's possible, so we need to defend our camp even more. Tomorrow, I'll send a letter to have the Sky Dance Experts outside to come back. We don't need to think about attacking Nanhua City anymore. It's already good enough that we can safely retreat. As for training the troops, I'm afraid that it won't be long before we can train them on how to defend the camp."
Shi Ye looked at Shi Ye and said, "General Shi, do you think that they'll attack our camp? Is it possible? If they do, then it can only mean that the alliance has been completely defeated. Would Nian Nineu be defeated that quickly? "
Shi Ye sighed and said, "Who knows, we should prepare for the worst."
