Chapter 185

"Where's the reinforcements? Haven't they arrived yet?"

In bo'an army's account, Zheng Yuanyun roared higher than before.

In the roar, each general in the account looked after himself and said nothing. No one could answer Zheng Yuanyun's question at this time.

The battle has begun. After a day and a night of fighting, the loss of troops on both sides is great.

Zhang Chengwang was short of food and grass, so before the food crisis broke out for the time being, he went all out and launched a wave after wave of rapid charge to bo'an military camp in a way of death regardless of consumption.

Even with psychological preparation, Zheng Yuanyun was unprepared for Zhang Chengwang's charge regardless of consumption.

The strength of bo'an city was less than that of Zhu Yan's army, and the other party put on a desperate posture. On the contrary, Zheng Yuanyun's strength loss was much better than that of the other party.

Up to now, Zhu Yan's army has lost 300000 troops, but on the side of bo'an City, nearly 500000 soldiers have fallen on the battlefield forever.

If the two sides did not have a tacit understanding to fight for a while, they would send people to clean up the bodies on the battlefield for some time. It is estimated that the loss of this force will increase by one third!

Even his brother Zheng Yuanlong was accidentally injured by Liushi in the last match. At present, he is receiving emergency treatment from a military doctor. So far, he has not been out of danger.

How can Zheng Yuanyun not be angry?

Zheng Yuanyun, who was badly beaten, didn't have time to consider whether it was worth it at this time. Later, he didn't regret this problem. When it was difficult to ride a tiger, he had to constantly ask the rear Chengcheng faction for support. At least he had to withstand the craziest period of Zhang Chengwang.

But the arrival of reinforcements will take time.

Although he had sent a large number of messengers at the first time, it would take time to go back and forth. In addition, he asked for the last garrison of the rear City, which can not be completed in an instant.

So up to now, even the nearest city to Boan has not seen reinforcements arrive.

Without supplement, Zheng Yuanyun was in a hurry. There was a burst of angry scolding and did not care about the presence. Many of these generals were the city masters of the rear cities. Before the reinforcements arrived, their urgency was no lower than that of Zheng Yuanyun.

"Lord Zheng is in a hurry. I have a plan here. Maybe I can delay it for some more time."

At this time, those who can speak calmly and are not afraid of the power of Zheng Yuanyun will be old.

Since that day, old Hua seems to have given up drinking and has really never touched it again.

At this moment, as soon as he opened his mouth, the eyes of all the generals gathered on him. Zheng Yuanyun could no longer care about the profound appearance of his commander-in-chief, and immediately said, "what's old Hua's opinion?"

"I can't talk about high opinions."

Old Hua shook his head slightly, looked through the big tent, looked in the direction of bo'an city and said, "since the two armies can't compete, let's attack the city!"

"Siege?"

Zheng Yuanyun was stunned. He never thought that old Hua's plan was to attack the city?

In the current situation, they still attack the city?

If the person who said this was not Hua Lao, Zheng Yuanyun would have been angry for a long time. He was afraid that he would have to be ordered to drag him out and beat 50 big boards.

As we all know, it is difficult to attack a city but easy to defend it. It is not surprising that the soldiers of the attacking side lost several times as much as those of the defending side in a siege.

Their current strength is weaker than their opponents, and they still run up against difficulties to attack the city. Isn't it too fast to collapse?

"Hua Lao, with our current strength, it doesn't seem very suitable..."

Zheng Yuanyun took a deep breath and restrained the burning anger in his heart.

This is Qingyang Zhijiang?

Is it stupid to drink?

Old Hua did not care about the strange eyes of everyone in the account. He said faintly, "it depends on how to attack the city."

"Who says you must do your best as long as you attack the city?"

As soon as he said this, everyone looked stunned. Old Hua seemed to say this

Zheng Yuanyun was also looking pensive, but the commander-in-chief Luo suddenly said, "I know. Old Hua means to lock Zhu Yan's army in bo'an!"

He clapped his hands and sighed, praising: "what a wonderful plan!"

At this time, the generals also responded to why old Hua's so-called strategy came.

At present, the two armies are fighting outside the city, competing for hard power.

After years of confrontation, the two sides have been evenly matched. Zhang Chengwang and Zheng Yuanyun also know what kind of formation the other side will make and how to respond in the war situation.

Therefore, the so-called hard power is more reflected in the number of troops.

Before the reinforcements arrived, Zhu Yan's army had the upper hand.

The reason for this situation is that Zhang Chengwang can send troops from the city without scruples to launch death attacks again and again, which has caused huge casualties to the Boan army.

This is understandable. After all, it is estimated that Zhang Chengwang did not hide the fact that the food and grass are about to run out. The soldiers of Zhu Yan empire are a sad soldier at present. There is no retreat. If they don't work hard, they can only wait to die.

On the other hand, on the side of the Boan army, people with a clear eye can see who is in the upper hand. They just need to trap Zhu Yan's army in the city until the other party runs out of food and grass. They can take the enemy without a single soldier.

In that case, where is the motivation to fight?

It is not difficult to understand the current situation.

Now the most important thing is to delay more time before the reinforcements arrive, so as to turn the war around.

The siege put forward by Hua Lao can just solve this problem.

Zhu Yan's army did not set up another barracks outside the city, but took bo'an city as a stronghold by virtue of its high wall.

Of course, this is true. With bo'an City, Zhang Chengwang has no worries at all. He just needs to send troops to attack the enemy without too much consideration of being attacked.

This is the reason why Hua Lao proposed to attack bo'an city.

What he wants is not to really beat bo'an City, but to take back the initiative and not make Zhang Chengwang too comfortable.

The army is pressing the city. Do you Zhang Chengwang keep it?

If you want to defend, you have to devote your energy to the deployment of urban defense, and the frequency of that deadly charge has to be greatly reduced.

No?

If you don't keep it, you can continue to send troops out of the city.

The army is waiting outside for you to kill one, two and a pair. It is impossible to organize an effective charge as before.

It was because he was afraid that Zhang Chengwang would find the army outside bo'an city as soon as he entered bo'an City, so he built the military camp dozens of miles away, but the result gave Zhang Chengwang a great buffer.

Siege is just a saying. According to Hua Lao's meaning, what we need to do now is to press the army, block Zhang Chengwang's activity space step by step, and prevent him from taking the initiative on the battlefield. This is the main purpose.

Zheng Yuanyun exhaled heavily, "then... According to the meaning of Hua Lao."
