Chapter 512: A Chance to Go Down in History <<<
"General Su, now General Liu Cheng on the left has broken through the eastern defenses of the Eastern Isles. We have two options at present."
A general bowed slightly, pointing to the black dot representing General Liu Cheng on the map's left side. "We could follow the original battle plan and order General Liu Cheng to encircle the main force of the Eastern Isles from the left flank, forming a pincer attack with our main force. We'll trap them like dumplings."
"The other option is to head directly towards General Huang He's position. After uniting with General Huang He, we can attempt to completely annihilate Mei Chuan's forces. By then, with Generals Liu Cheng and Huang He commanding a combined force of 12,000 soldiers, they would be able to play a crucial role in the entire battlefield."
The general’s analysis was spot on, and everyone else in the tent nodded in agreement.
Suping's eyes flickered with light, he didn't make a decision immediately, but asked: "What do you all think?"
Suddenly, all the generals spoke their minds. Some supported Liu Cheng following the original plan to encircle, while others argued that the risks were too high and suggested joining forces with Huang Haihe's troops first.
Each side has its own argument, and both sound quite reasonable.
Su Pingbei was weighing the sounds coming from both sides.
The last incident caused Su Pingbei to suffer heavy losses, and he almost lost his life on the battlefield. If it weren't for the support of his loyal family members from the capital city, his prestige in the army would have plummeted.
Soldiers like this, they only respect generals who can win battles. A defeated general isn't even worth looking at, not even to a common soldier.
For on the battlefield, only generals who win battles can keep their men alive.
It was precisely because of the last lesson that Su Pingbei realized there might be a spy among his own people.
He still didn't know who the spy was.
Right now, both the Dongchang and the people my father sent are secretly investigating according to my arrangements.

Military intelligence suggests that the situation is urgent. The people of the East Island will not wait for him to capture the spies before attacking.
Faced with the increasingly fierce offensive from the Eastern Isles, Su Ping had to make battlefield deployment arrangements as quickly as possible, despite knowing there were spies among his ranks.
So Su Pingbei knew that every decision he made now had to be fast, accurate, and ruthless, leaving no time for the spies to send out the intelligence.
He closed his eyes, pondering slightly, just as he was about to make a decision, the messenger’s news came again.
"Report! The enemy army has suddenly launched a full-scale attack. A total of 40,000 troops are charging towards our army!"
This news caused a moment of silence in the entire central army tent, followed by an uproar.
"General Su, it seems the people of the East Isles are eager to fight before we're ready!"
Su Pingbei suddenly opened his eyes and said, "How far is the enemy from our army? Are there any troops between us?"
“According to previous estimates, the main force of the Eastern Kingdom is about fifty miles away from us. In between lies General Huang Haihe's several thousand men. General, should we rescue them? If we don't, those thousands under General Huang will surely be instantly overwhelmed. But if we do, our army would have to march at full speed and might not arrive in time.”

Glaring at the map, Su Pingbei said coldly, “If he wants a decisive battle, then we fight!”

Immediately dispatch riders to catch up with Huang Haihe and order him to retreat ten miles and prepare for defense. Even if it means dying defending, hold your ground until my arrival!
"All troops prepare immediately. The Eastern Isles are running out of ammunition and supplies; they can't hold on much longer. This battle will decide the outcome!"
Supingbei suddenly turned around and roared, "Everyone, if we fail, we die! This battle, let alone defeat, even a miserable victory, we will have no face to return home and see our parents and fellow countrymen. Today's battle must be recorded in history!"
"The chance to go down in history has arrived!"
