Chapter 72

"Cities along the way?"

Not to mention it, Zheng Yuanlong became more angry and shouted, "of course!"

"As soon as the general led his troops to GuLiang City, you sent someone to chase him back. Brother Huang, the Lord of GuLiang City, has already sent reinforcements on the road!"

"Bo'an is in trouble because Anluo is in trouble. No one in the surrounding cities is in a hurry. It's my brother who hasn't sent someone to support him. Hum!"

The more he said, the more excited he was. The armrest of the seat clicked, as if it would break at any time.

Chen Ze didn't seem to feel Zheng Yuanlong's anger. He frowned and thought for a moment, and looked at Mr. Jing again.

"You boy, you're playing with something mysterious and delaying the general's time!"

Zheng Yuanlong was even more angry when he saw that he was silent. If Chen zenai had not saved the great hero of Xiyun City, he would have slapped the little counselor earlier.

"If it's all right, general Ben is leaving, and bo'an city is still waiting for support!"

He is a quick tempered man. Seeing that there is nothing wrong with Xiyun City, he is too lazy to talk to Chen Ze. He immediately gets up and wants to reorganize his troops and horses and go to Boan again.

"No!"

Unexpectedly, Zheng Yuanlong's body just moved, and Chen Ze and Mr. Jing stopped it with one voice.

"Huh?"

Zheng Yuanlong stared, "what else?"

"Lord, to be honest..."

Mr. Jing shook his head and said with a wry smile, "at this time, it's a million level battlefield under bo'an city. We Xiyun city's tens of thousands of troops can't even splash a few flowers."

Zheng Yuanlong said angrily, "so I won't go?"

"It's not that we don't go, but that our more than 40000 troops are more useful!"

Mr. Jing shook his head and explained.

"Greater use?"

As soon as Zheng Yuanlong heard this, his mood stabilized a little. He couldn't help asking, "what should I do according to what Mr. Jing saw?"

He still admired Mr. Jing's views. He looked forward to this question.

However, Mr. Jing sighed, "please forgive me for this. I made a big mistake the next day. I have decided to resign from the post of principal officer, so I'm sorry I can't give better suggestions."

"Are you going to... Resign?"

As soon as he said this, Zheng Yuanlong stared, "I said Lao Jing, what are you doing?"

"What fault is serious enough to resign?"

Mr. Jing shook his head silently. "I'll give the city Lord an explanation after this. However, it's obviously not the time to study this matter. It's better to focus on the present."

"How to focus?"

Zheng Yuanlong said, "the general said he wanted to go. You said no. why didn't you say it?"

Mr. Jing said with a wry smile, "although I can't give any suggestions, brother Chen can. The city Lord might as well listen to his opinions."

As soon as he said this, Zheng Yuanlong glanced at Chen Ze, who was taking a deep look at Mr. Jing.

After so many days, Chen Ze has never seen him. Unexpectedly, the other party has always remembered the resignation he said that day.

At this time, he put forward it in front of Zheng Yuanlong, obviously putting him on the stage.

However, Chen Ze believes that Mr. Jing has no intention to frame him by abdicating his position at this time. More importantly, he shows goodwill at another level and gives Chen Ze the opportunity to make meritorious service.

No matter what kind of attempt the other party has towards him, at least in this matter, Chen Ze believes he has good intentions.

"What do you say, boy?"

Zheng Yuanlong is not stupid. He had seen that Chen Ze and Mr. Jing seemed to have the same view, but of course he preferred what Mr. Jing said to ignore Chen Ze.

At present, Chen Ze is the only choice.

"Lord..."

Chen Ze had a draft in his heart for a long time. After hearing the speech and pondering for a moment, he said, "anluoxing province is a big province. In addition to the main city of bo'an, there are 21 affiliated cities, of which the permanent force of bo'an city is one million, and the combined force of the 21 affiliated cities is one million and two hundred thousand. I don't know what to do?"

This is the apparent force allocation of anluoxing Province, and it is also the number that Chen Ze can get under the current military rank.

"And then?"

Zheng Yuanlong is noncommittal, which is regarded as default.

Chen Ze said, "the total troops of the whole Anluo province have reached 2.2 million, and they can gather in Boan city in ten days."

"The troops sent by the Zhu Yan Empire this time are 1.5 million!"

"Usually in the siege war, the defenders have more advantages than the attackers because they occupy the advantages of urban defense. Therefore, in general, it is reasonable for the siege party to invest far more troops than the defenders, unless the siege party makes other arrangements."

Chen Ze habitually pointed his finger at the tip of his nose and thought: "the arrangement of Zhu Yan Empire this time is to lure all cities to send reinforcements to bo'an city with a hundred thousand strong soldiers as bait, and then take Xiyun city as a breakthrough to attack them when the forces in each city are empty. The ultimate purpose is to disrupt the logistics supply of bo'an city and delay the arrival time of reinforcements sent by the Empire to Anluo province."

"But now that Xiyun city is guarded, this strategy will naturally not work. Bo'an city can get a continuous supply of supplies. As long as we stick to the strategy, we are not afraid of the 1.7 million additional troops sent by Zhu Yan empire."

Speaking of this, he suddenly saw the situation he had encountered in his old age. He couldn't help looking at Mr. Jing again and added: "bo'an city is the overflow of Anluo province. Its geographical location is special. If it can't pass through the city, no matter how many troops of Zhu Yan Empire, it can't be closed and surrounded into an isolated city."

"Therefore, it is impossible to encircle the city of bo'an."

When the voice fell, Zheng Yuanlong didn't respond. On the contrary, Mr. Jing suddenly raised his head and his eyes flickered.

Chen Ze paid no attention to him. When Zheng Yuanlong gradually showed the color of thinking, he said again: "then Zhu Yan Empire needs to use 1.7 million troops to fight against the more than 2 million troops that can be reached in shangbo'an city. This is unreasonable."

"But under this unreasonable premise, Zhu Yan empire is still increasing troops to bo'an city. If the other commander is not stupid, he is confident and has another arrangement!"

Zheng Yuanlong's eyes twinkled. "You mean... They still have another breakthrough?"

"Good!"

Chen Ze affirmed: "in addition to starting from the inside, I really can't think of how Zhu Yan empire can attack cities and seize land with less and more!"

"If I think correctly, I'm afraid another breakthrough has been broken, so Zhu Yan Empire continues to increase troops. Its purpose is to put pressure on bo'an city and make all the reinforcements who arrive dare not leave easily. Otherwise, once the strength of bo'an city is insufficient, there will be a risk of being attacked!"

"The increase of troops is not to carry out a siege without consumption, but to make bo'an an an isolated city in another sense with such a message. All troops are allowed to enter and not go out, so there is no time to take into account the damage being suffered inside!"
