"We didn't encounter an ambush because the ambush wouldn't attack the troops with baggage!"
Chen Ze frowned, as if he were talking to himself and discussing with Li Quan'an.
"Only 20000 people are facing six supply lines. As long as they start, they can't leave clues, so that bo'an city can detect the problems on the supply line."
"Once bo'an city is aware of it, on the one hand, it will certainly send troops to patrol everywhere, on the other hand, it will also be surprised by the problem of food and grass, so that the reinforcements of each city will delay entering bo'an city and disperse in the surrounding cities for standby."
"As a result, the Zhuyan empire lost its role in the 20000 ambush, and the original plan to use a large number of reinforcements to consume the grain reserves of bo'an city came to naught."
Li Quan'an nodded again and again, and continued with a pause in Chen zewei's Kung Fu: "so if I were the Zhu Yan Empire, I wouldn't move these supplies on the supply line for the time being. At least, I wouldn't move at the beginning of the war."
Chen Ze then asked, "if it were you, what would you do?"
"Is it me?"
Li Quan'an thought for a moment, popped up a finger and said in a deep voice, "if I were the commander of the ambush, first, I would arrange a small number of people to ambush near all the supply lines in advance. I don't need to take any action, but just hide in the dark and record the number of logistics troops sent from the supply city to bo'an city."
"Second, with detailed data, we can analyze the time of these troops returning to the city and the strength of each force according to the distance."
"Third, after planning the time, inform the large forces on standby to attack the returning troops on all lines with the potential of thunder. The one with the weakest strength!"
"These troops returning to the city are not disturbed by baggage. Second, after completing the escort task, they are at the lowest vigilance. Once they are surrounded, they don't even need to start. The enemy's morale has collapsed and can be taken without trace."
After a pause, Li Quan said emphatically, "pay attention here, only attack the weaker ones, not bury all the troops!"
"There can be no major problems in the logistics of bo'an city for the time being. I will reserve some baggage troops for each line so that they can transport grain to bo'an again."
Hearing this, even though Chen Ze had thought of this section, he still asked, "what's the purpose of doing this?"
Li Quan'an replied: "on the one hand, this can paralyze bo'an City, make them think that there is no problem with the supply line, and still receive materials on time."
"On the other hand, it is also gradually eroding the garrison strength of the city at the end of each supply line."
"You know, each of these baggage troops has escort tasks. It is a circular operation. When they return to the city, they will take a new batch of food and grass on the road at the first time, rather than wait until the next batch of people come back!"
Chen Ze nodded in agreement.
In fact, if there had not been a problem in Xichuan city before, and he happened to be there, the Colonel Huang Zhengyang would have escorted a new batch of prepared materials on the road after returning to the city. Their three baggage troops in Xichuan city do not need to gather with each other, but just keep going back and forth on the supply line.
So after returning to the city, Huang Zhengyang would not know that there was a problem with the other two troops.
Perhaps after walking half way, he will find that his colleagues who should have met have not seen him, like Chen Ze, and become suspicious in his heart.
But at that time, his main task was to transport the baggage to the city of Boan. At the same time, he did not receive the news that there were enemy troops fleeing in anlok province. This suspicion should not be too heavy.
Li Quan'an added: "bo'an city will receive the first batch of complete materials transported by the six supply lines, which will further paralyze the other party and make it pay no attention to the supply line."
"Then there will be a second batch, but the number will be reduced, because some of the baggage troops have been destroyed."
"But this will not attract too much attention in bo'an city. After all, the troops transporting grain into bo'an for the second time, such as Colonel Huang of Xichuan, have arrived on each line, which proves that the supply line is still operating."
"In addition, there should be enough food and grass in bo'an city at that time. Therefore, in bo'an City, it is estimated that only the logistics officer responsible for receiving the luggage will start to complain, and send messengers or direct flying pigeons to urge the cities to deliver food and grass as soon as possible."
"So what will cities that receive military orders do?"
Li Quan'an's eyes fell on the map, slightly paused on the city responsible for preparing materials on each supply line, shook his head and said: "the military order is in front, even if there is some doubt, the top priority is still to send food as soon as possible."
"Therefore, they will try their best to reduce the strength of the city garrison, dispatch some people to form a new baggage force, and rush to bo'an city. If they want to come, the troops returning to the city will always come back in one or two days. At that time, they can naturally be added to the city garrison."
"You know, at present, most of the high-ranking generals in all cities have led reinforcements to Boan. The positions of the remaining generals are not high, and the authority is naturally low. Everything will be based on taking military orders."
Chen zeshun followed his words and said, "well, for example, General Huang's troops transporting supplies to Boan for the second time will be ambushed on the way back again, because they have doubts and will pay more attention to their own baggage troops on the way."
"At this point, all the baggage troops prepared at the beginning of each city will be destroyed, and a new round of baggage troops composed of garrison compression will continue to operate on the supply line."
"A supply delivery can be as short as a few days or as long as more than a dozen days. After these baggage troops replaced by the garrison have been eroded, the battle has been nearly a month at least, and all reinforcements that should or should not have arrived have basically arrived. By that time, the daily military grain supply in bo'an city will reach a terrible number!"
"At this time, when the cities have no choice to send and can no longer draw out the baggage troops, the supply line of Boan city will naturally be broken!"
Chen Ze sighed at the interface: "once the supply line is broken, it seems that sufficient military food can not support for too long. The vigilant bo'an city will immediately send troops everywhere to check the situation. Unfortunately, it's too late."
"The number of garrisons in the cities responsible for supply, such as Xichuan City, also fell to the lowest point at that time. It is estimated that it will not be more than 3000. Compared with the huge size of Xichuan City, this number is not enough to organize an effective city defense war."
"After the ambush of the Zhuyan Empire killed the last logistics unit on the supply line, what they had to do next was to attack the city and land with a thunderous attack and attack the six granaries in Anluo province!"
"They only attack and don't occupy. They burn down one city. Therefore, when bo'an City senses the shortage of food and grass and sends troops to patrol, they can see only six burning remnant cities!"
