Tusi Adu also understood this very well. If the three chieftains attacked together, he would not be able to resist at all. So when he got the news, he did not send anyone back to aid his own stronghold, but instead used all his strength on the front battlefield.
He must take down the stronghold of the Longchuan chieftain before the other two chieftains can react. Once he takes down the stronghold, the overall situation will be settled. Even if the other two chieftains are not satisfied, by then, Chief Adu will have two major tribes. Do the other two chieftains have any ideas?
The Tang army also supported his strategy. Qin Huaiyu brought nearly 4,000 people to the mountain to support him, and he was considered a military adviser to this guy. However, he kept silent and just stood by and listened. When he came, Li Xiang said that as long as the other party did not make any major mistakes, then let him do it. If there were minor mistakes, then let him continue to do it, so as to prevent the power in his hands from being too strong.
Tusi Adu had some respect for this incredibly skilled Tang general. Every time he received an order, he would look up at this guy, as if he felt that his plan would go wrong if this guy didn't nod.
Now that Qin Huaiyu didn't say anything, it meant that the plan could be carried out, so he pushed the remaining 8,000 troops under his command forward. In this way, the troops fighting on the front battlefield exceeded 25,000 people. The army of Longchuan Tusi also exceeded this number, but the elite troops of Longchuan Tusi were exhausted in the civil strife, so when they faced the elite troops of Adu Tusi, they could still occupy the terrain advantage in a short time, but if it lasted for a long time, they might not be able to hold on.
"General Qin, we know you brought that kind of crossbow this time. I wonder if it can help us on the battlefield?"
Tusi Adu thought of another thing. Qin Huaiyu brought not many people with him, but these people were very confident. That was the special weapons they brought. Although the number was small, if a few shells were fired under such circumstances, it would be a huge shock to the morale of Tusi Longchuan.
"Master Tusi, please forgive me. When we came here, our Highness said that unless your stronghold is in danger, or Master Tusi's life is in danger, we will not participate in the battle, including all our weapons. We will not participate in the battle."
Qin Huaiyu said expressionlessly, "You're waging a war for hegemony, and you're asking us to work for you. Who will own the territory after the battle?" Li Xiang's strategy was clear: if you wanted the territory, you had to send your men to fight. Regardless of who won or lost, in the end, the only people left standing were the ones in the stronghold. This was a win-win for Li Xiang.
When Tusi Adu hit a snag and wanted to continue speaking, Qin Huaiyu pulled down his hat and closed his eyes. The meaning was very clear: you can continue to talk and I can't control your mouth, but I will definitely not have any response. If you are not afraid of being embarrassed, then continue to talk. After all, you are also a Tusi.
Seeing Qin Huaiyu's appearance, Tusi Adu also gave up. This guy slung his sword over his waist and went directly to the battlefield with his men. When he was leaving, Qin Huaiyu opened his eyes and asked his men to keep an eye on this guy. Regardless of whether the war was won or not, His Highness had said that this guy would still be one of our signboards in the future, and he must not be allowed to make any mistakes.
As Tusi Adu walked out of the tent, he also felt that there were suddenly many more Tang soldiers behind him. He thought, "Aren't you here to protect my safety? Then I will go to the battlefield myself and use my body to lead you to join the battle."
This was a song Qin Huaiyu had not expected. When Qin Huaiyu saw Tusi Adu just now, he always felt that this guy was a coward who was afraid of death and would never take up a knife to go to the battlefield himself. But at this moment, this guy did not inform anyone, mounted his white horse and rushed in.
"He's pretty damn cool."
Qin Huaiyu snorted coldly, then mounted his warhorse and led more than a thousand of his men to charge in. These people were all elite soldiers under Li Xiang, and they all had crossbows on their left hands. Others might find such a charge very dangerous, but for them, it was not much more difficult than eating.
Seeing Tusi Adu personally joining the battle, the morale of his army was immediately boosted. When they saw the bravery of the Tusi's personal soldiers, they charged forward without any hesitation, and everyone seemed to be full of energy.
Originally, the armies of both sides were at odds, with neither able to defeat the other in a short period of time. However, when this army joined, everything seemed different. Tusi Adu rushed to the front of the team, and wherever he rushed, the army could rush to the same place. The army of Tusi Longchuan was completely defeated.
"Bring here the horses from the local division."
The Longchuan Tusi is in danger of defeat. Although he is not young, he knows that he cannot retreat in any form at this time. If you dare to take a small step back, then your army may take a big step back. Now they have reached the edge of the stronghold. If you really take a big step back, this stronghold may not be yours.
He also knew that time was precious. It would take time for the other two chieftains to gather their armies, so he had to buy time. If even the stronghold was lost, no matter how righteous your side was, the other two chieftains would not stand on your side. We are all smart people, who would go to great lengths to help a stray dog?
"What are you still standing there for? Where's the warhorse from the Home Division?"
When the chieftain of Longchuan was about to mount his horse, he found that his warhorse was not brought. It turned out that his warhorse had been killed during the civil war between his two sons. After learning about this, the chieftain of Longchuan was furious and wanted to kill all his men. You can't even take care of my horse.
In desperation, the Longchuan chieftain could only mount another batch of war horses. Although he was not used to it, he had to go to the battlefield at this moment, otherwise his men would not be able to hold on.
