Chapter 48

"My Lord, what a wonderful plan!"

At the head of the West Cloud City, Xu Qing, who has been lamenting pessimism, swept away the gloom on his face and looked at Chen Ze with bright eyes.

He naturally saw the fire behind the poisonous fog army and guessed the cause of the fire.

Chen Ze ordered people to dig trenches 500 meters away. At the moment, it was also suddenly clear and guessed the key hole.

That's the idea!

While admiring his face, Xu Qing also pounded his head, ashamed of his previous contempt for Chen Ze.

Chen Ze was calm and praised by Xu Qing. He just turned his head and smiled at him. His whole mind was still on the enemy outside the city.

"Sir, what are we going to do now?"

Xu Qing, who thought he had guessed Chen Ze's plan, rubbed his hands excitedly and said fiercely: "do you want to rush out to do his vote while the other party's military morale is in chaos!"

This time it was Chen Ze's turn to be stunned. He turned his eyes at an angle that Xu Qing couldn't see. When he turned his head to see Xu Qing, he seemed to be looking at an idiot.

"I don't think... It's necessary?"

"It's better to wait in the city than risk going out of the city."

He shook his head slightly and rejected Xu Qing's proposal.

"Wait?"

The excitement on Xu Qing's face was one of stagnation, and he said anxiously, "Sir, don't!"

Chen Ze asked, "what do you say?"

"Look, my Lord!"

Xu Qing pointed to the fire outside the city and said eagerly, "because of your wonderful plan, the enemy has no food and grass at the moment. This is our great opportunity. Once we miss it..."

He raised his finger and pointed further away. "When the enemy sent someone back to the forest of poisonous fog and then brought food and grass, my Lord, this plan will be in vain. At most, it will delay the enemy for more than half a day. It won't help if we can't wait for reinforcements!"

Chen Ze shook his head and said, "they dare not go back to transport grain and grass."

Although Chen Ze did not expect that the soldiers of the baggage team would exaggerate the number of ambushes in order to protect their lives, he asked Guo Zi and others to retreat at one blow, and indeed ordered them to sneak into the forest of poisonous fog.

Of course, the purpose is not to really want Guo Zi and others to bump into the grain transportation troops like death squads, but only to act as a deterrent.

He just wanted to let the enemy commander know that I made it clear that an ambush was arranged on your grain transportation road. Are you lucky?

In order to prevent an ambush, we have to send more people, resulting in a shortage of troops.

If so, Chen Ze doesn't mind waiting for the other party to go out of the city when he is most tired. This is also his purpose of arranging the rotation and rest of 2000 people in Xicheng gate, which is to keep a commando in good condition in his hand.

If not, the enemy has only two options, either retreat the whole army or attack the city with all his strength.

If he retreats, Chen Ze can't keep each other, but it doesn't matter. The gap between retreating and advancing is enough for him to do a lot of things. The next time the poison fog army comes again, it won't be so easy to drive straight in.

As for the other option

When Chen Ze analyzed the situation to Xu Qing, it was also the time when the opposite general pointed at Xiyun city.

"Go all out to attack Xiyun city?"

Xu Qing's eyes were wide open, and she couldn't help turning her head and looking out of the city. It seemed that the other party was really pushing forward, and her face suddenly changed greatly.

"Isn't this counterproductive?"

If you go all out to attack the city when you know that the food and grass have been destroyed, you will cut off your retreat. If a person has no retreat

"No hurry."

But Chen Ze said calmly, "they can't attack for a moment and a half."

"Instead of worrying about this, you might as well go down and have a look for me. Is that thing ready?"

He pointed in the direction of the city wall.

"This... Yes!"

Xu Qing wanted to say something more, but he also knew that Chen Ze would not listen to him, so he had to shake his head and walk downstairs.

However, at least through the burning of grain and grass, Xu Qing no longer doubts Chen Ze in his heart, and even vaguely holds a point of expectation. Perhaps, it is really as Mr. Jing said

After sending Xu Qing away, when Chen Ze looked out of the city again, a cruel radian came up at the corners of his mouth.

Five days?

Waiting for reinforcements?

No, he doesn't want to.

After coming to this world, except for trivial things such as suppressing bandits, this war is his real first war!

How could the first war end with five days of shrinking and guarding the city?

The reason why he said when he was at the military aircraft office that he was not sure of breaking the enemy and that he could only delay time was because of his identity.

It's just a small counselor who volunteered to take the post of city Guard commander, which is not convincing. If he can break the enemy in one fell swoop with his wild words, what will happen?

I'm afraid even Mr. Jing will think he's a talker on paper. How can you trust him with the general's machine token?

It was said that he would defend the city for five days, but from the beginning, Chen Ze was planning a plan to break the enemy with one blow.

Whether it's digging trenches or ordering Guo Zi to lead people to destroy grain, grass and baggage, Chen Ze is doing the same thing, that is... Dragging!

To say what his greatest strength is, he is undoubtedly a general star.

But two of his three generals are cooling down today, and their strength is not complete.

Moreover, there is a time limit for the use of generals. Without providing fragment enhancement, the initial time for attachment is only half an hour.

Therefore, Chen Ze not only has to delay, but also needs to control the war situation within the effective time of Jiangxing, which is the key to whether he can break the enemy in one fell swoop.

At present, everything is going according to his plan. Even when he looks out of the city, Chen Ze can see that the poison fog army is in a tight formation and advancing towards Xiyun city step by step.

As he expected, the general who commanded the poison fog army finally chose to fight hard and launched an all-round attack when the soldiers' temporary supply demand was not high!

This can also be guessed.

After all, the poisonous fog army can return safely. What about the millions of elite beside Zhu Yan?

War is about consumption. Every day it is delayed, the consumption will be greater. Zhu Yan empire is also waiting for the destruction of Xiyun City, so that they can drive straight in and cut off the logistics supply of bo'an city.

Based on this consideration, the choice that the other party can make is expected.

Then, the next step is to strictly control the time of the decisive battle between the two armies. Chen Ze has long arranged for this.

The five previously lit fire walls were gradually extinguished, and the poisonous fog army also advanced 300 meters away from Xiyun City, just outside the range of the archers.

Catapult, siege tower, siege hammer, these large siege equipment have been pushed out by the other party. As long as the flame goes out, we will launch the final general attack!

However, at this time, when the five fire walls were going to be extinguished, Chen Ze's hand slowly rowed in the night sky.

Whoosh!

Another flaming rocket came.

Boom!

In another ditch behind the five fire walls, vigorous flames burst into the sky!
