Chapter 73

Silence.

Zheng Yuanlong sat back in his chair and didn't leave in a hurry.

He is also worried about his brother's long-term safety. For a time, he is just a little hot-blooded. If he can sit as the head of a city, he will not be an ordinary person.

Although Chen Ze's words are only analysis, it is not unreasonable to calm down and think about them.

Besides, there has been an accident in Xiyun city.

Deep thinking, Zhu Yan empire was willing to throw millions of heavy troops, just hoping on a poisonous fog forest, which seemed really unreasonable.

The three armed forces have not moved grain and grass first. To mobilize such a large number of troops, grain and grass supply alone is an astronomical number, so it is not too much to leave a few backup hands for themselves.

The more he thought about it, Zheng Yuanlong's face became more dignified, and his eyes turned from Chen Ze to Mr. Jing.

"Lao Jing, do you... Think so?"

Compared with Chen Ze, Zheng Yuanlong is more willing to trust the chief military officer, even if he can add a front word now.

"What I think is not important."

Mr. Jing said, "as just said, there are few soldiers in our city. Only these more than 40000 troops can't help the front battlefield."

"And if brother Chen's inference comes true, more than 40000 troops will be more or less, but it is also a food burden for bo'an City, so it might as well be used for other purposes!"

Zheng Yuanlong heard the speech and looked around at Mr. Chen Ze and Mr. Jing. He said in a deep voice, "so you mean, you'd rather believe it?"

"Good!"

Chen Ze took a step forward and looked solemn. "Lord, it has been ten days since Zhu Yan Empire attacked bo'an city. I'm afraid other cities in Anluo province have sent reinforcements on the road except us. Those who are fast and close are estimated to have arrived."

"Then the total strength of bo'an city is enough. We 40000 people really don't need to join the fun, so we might as well..."

He took a deep breath and said slowly, "it's better to swim around anluoxing province and clean up the poisonous insects sent by Zhu Yan empire!"

The attack of Zhu Yan empire was one day after he left bo'an city. Taking into account his journey to the forest of poisonous fog and his five-day stay in Xiyun City, it is said that ten days is more than enough.

"Easy to say!"

Zheng Yuanlong's tone was not as tough as before, but he still shook his head slightly, frowned and said, "even if this is true, anluoxing province is not small. If we refer to the troops invested by the poison fog forest, there will not be more than 10000 people."

"The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light. Relying on more than 40000 people in the hands of the general alone, we have to rely on luck to achieve accurate sniping. Moreover, no one can guarantee that there is only one so-called breakthrough?"

"Knowing nothing about the enemy, it is very difficult to catch them. It is more likely that we run around like headless flies on the boundary of anlok province!"

Chen Ze said with a smile, "in fact, it's not without a clue."

After that, he went straight to the wall and pointed to the location of the poison fog forest on the map of anluoxing province. "The poison fog forest is a special case. There is only one hidden danger in anluoxing Province, so if there are other breakthroughs, I think their number is less than the number of attacking Xiyun City, so they will not choose to scare the snake to attack and occupy the city."

"After all, the sentry posts on the border are not furnishings, and we will not be unaware of the large-scale infiltration of foreign enemies."

After a pause, he looked back at Zheng Yuanlong and Mr. Jing. "Since it is impossible to attack the city, their purpose is more clear. They go for logistics supplies, so..."

"Here, here, and here... These places are the lifeblood of bo'an city. Almost most of the grain and grass will be transported to bo'an city."

There are six routes that Chen Ze points out in one breath. The destination is Boan City, but the starting point is several cities with developed agriculture in anluoxing province.

Zheng Yuanlong nodded again and again, his eyes flashed a sudden color, and agreed: "yes, no matter how these bastards swim, their purpose is to supply logistics!"

"But..." after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "there are still too many. There are six supply lines. The general's strength is only more than 40000, which is not enough!"

"The enemy's strength is still unknown. Even if it is divided, it can only be divided into two armies with more than 40000 people. Guarding two lines is the limit. It can't fall face to face."

divide forces.

If you want to guard six routes, you have to divide six troops. Considering the current strength of Xiyun City, you can only divide six teams of 8000 people. What's more, Xiyun city still needs to leave some troops to guard the city, so it's good to have 6000 people in each army in the most ideal state.

Six thousand people are too few. I'm not sure who hit whom when I really meet them.

If they were only divided into two teams, the number of people in each team would be reasonable. There were more than 20000 people in each team, but there were only two lines that could be guarded. This had to take a chance. It was uncertain that they would stay for a long time. The other party didn't come at all, but destroyed the other four lines.

"No." Chen Ze shook his head and said, "our troops are not just more than 40000, but should be... Close to 100000!"

"100000?"

Zheng Yuanlong frowned, "do you still want to recruit on the spot?"

Even Mr. Jing, who didn't speak much, couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

Zheng Yuanlong was born as a military general. He was good at fighting, but when it comes to controlling the overall situation, he was much worse.

Sure enough, Chen Ze said, "that's not necessary. If the people are temporarily recruited to join the army, on the one hand, the training is not embarrassing enough. On the other hand, morale is also a problem. The quantity is up, but the quality is certainly not good."

"Where did your extra troops come from?"

Zheng Yuanlong didn't understand. He took another look at the map of anluoxing province and shook his head more and more. "It is estimated that the troops left behind in other cities are enough to reluctantly defend the city. There should be no surplus troops to us."

Chen Ze smiled bitterly and understood the reason why Zheng Yuanlong could only guard a remote town. The vision of the city Lord... Is really too shallow.

Then he had to pick a clear way: "the city Lord forgot, outside Anluo province?"

His fingers crossed the forest of poisonous fog at the edge of the map, pointed at the blank space of the wall and said, "here is a city, which is the Biping city of Heyuan province!"

"On that day, bo'an messenger came to Xiyun city to report the enemy situation, and rushed to the next stop, Biping city. Calculate the time, the reinforcements sent by Biping city should almost arrive."

"Yes!"

As soon as Zheng Yuanlong patted his thigh, he suddenly said, "how can I forget Lao Yang? In the past, my eldest brother had kindness with him. Bo'an was in trouble. Lao Yang will send troops to help!"

"Then let's wait until Lao Yang's troops arrive and the two men and horses join together before we start?"

Unconsciously, Zheng Yuanlong had the meaning of inquiring about Chen Ze's tone.

"Yes, there are 100000 troops in hand, which can ensure no worries about logistics. However, there is one more thing to do before the people of Biping City arrive!"

Speaking of this, Chen Ze has a cold light in his eyes.
