Simply besieging the city cannot break Wuguo.
Gu Jing's overall strategy is to continually create panic among the city's defenders, exploiting their fear of the Tang Army and the Gu Clan to incite internal chaos.
Goguryeo will definitely come to reinforce Wuguo.
Given the importance of Wuguo City, Goguryeo might even abandon its attempt to retake Beisha City.
Gu Jing is betting on this.
Betting that the Tang Army's strength is enough to crush Goguryeo's forces.
Betting that the Tang Army can hold out until the defenders inside Wuguo City completely collapse in morale!
This move is indeed very risky.
But in Gu Jing's view, historically, generals who don't know how to take risks rarely become renowned.
Warfare is about the courage to gamble; as long as the benefits are great enough, it's worth the risk.
