Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

”Senior General, he is only delaying, not cutting them off completely,” the Deputy General said worriedly. ”Clearly, he is also concerned that a lack of provisions would affect the defense, for which the Great King would hold him severely accountable. Because of this, we have no grounds to impeach him.”

”Enough,” Lian Po said sternly. ”Continue to press them. The provision supply must not be cut off. Of course, you must also issue a strict warning. If our defense is affected by this matter, I will personally seek an audience with the Great King and impeach Guo Kai myself.”

”Your subordinate understands,” the Deputy General immediately responded.

I wonder what the situation is in Han Land right now. If only Lord Xinling could lead his army to break through their defenses. That would surely cause a stir in the Qin Army and buy this old man more time. Lian Po thought with a flicker of hope.

”Both Lord Xinling and you, Senior General, are War Generals famous throughout the land. Breaching a minor Border City held by a Qin general should be an easy task,” the Deputy General said with confident flattery.

”Let’s hope so,” Lian Po nodded, his gaze turning pensive. The Qin General, Zhao Feng... he came from the Qin Logistics Army, yet has been undefeated since joining the main combat divisions. I wonder what his true capabilities are?

「Meanwhile, in the Qin camp at Lantian.」

”Senior General,” Yang Duanhe reverently reported to Wang Jian. ”We have just received a military report from General Wang Ben. The time is right. The attack on Lower Quyang will begin tomorrow.”

”Tell Wang Ben to attack with full force,” Wang Jian ordered gravely. ”The moment Lower Quyang falls, you will immediately move your troops to assault Quyang. Wait for Lian Po to retreat, and then pursue him relentlessly. We must not allow him to establish another defensive position.”

”Your subordinate obeys!” Yang Duanhe replied instantly.

Wang Jian thought to himself. Lian Po excels at defense, but his forces are ultimately insufficient. A frontal assault would be a senseless waste of our Sharp Warriors. My role is to pin Lian Po down here, allowing Wang Ben to take Lower Quyang.
