Chapter 142: Victory belongs to those who can endure (Part 2)

This military officer named Gu Wei was one of Lu Yuan's nominal disciples, whose strength was considered third-rate in the Jianghu.

Actually, among the entire army, essentially all the military officers and camp leaders were Lu Yuan's nominal disciples.

It was through such teacher-disciple relationships that he ensured his control over the army.

Lu Yuan turned back to look at Gu Wei and nodded, "Indeed. However, after five days of fighting, more than half of the vanguard army is gone. I'm afraid they're running out of steam."

Furthermore, with such heavy casualties, the soldiers of the vanguard might not be able to bear it and might start a mutiny."

He knew what Gu Wei was implying at this point.

Because among the seven camps of the vanguard, all were managed by Gu Wei. After five days of battle, the vanguard had suffered heavy losses, with more than half dead or injured.

But they had achieved a glorious victory.
