Chapter 190

Boan city head.

Looking at Zhang Chengwang, who drank bravely, all the generals were silent.

That point just now made them understand the purpose of Zhang Chengwang.

In other words, it is a plan that Zhang Chengwang has been arranging to keep Zhu Yan's army alive.

From the beginning, perhaps their commander-in-chief didn't want to break through the gate on the side of Anluo Province... No, maybe he did, but it was just a test. When the Boan army came back and blocked the road, the breakthrough was no longer possible.

The ultimate goal of Zhang Chengwang is the outer gate facing Nantes province.

Compared with the huge army of bo'an, there will be fewer troops stationed at the outer gate.

But at the beginning of the battle, Zhang Chengwang could not expose this purpose.

He thought of Chen Ze and Hua Lao.

With the huge army of Zhu Yan and the shortage of food and grass, the enemy in the outer city gate doesn't need to face it at all. Instead, they just need to turn the visible army into an ambush and chase Zhang Chengwang's ass, which will inevitably cause them heavy losses.

Therefore, what Zhang Chengwang is doing is also the result that everyone wants to see. He uses his superior force to face the Boan army with the same large hardtop force.

So what is the purpose of this?

Reduce... Troops!

No one wants to admit this, but it is.

Zhang Chengwang had sent a large number of troops to attack Zheng Yuanyun's barracks. On the one hand, he was a desperate blow. On the other hand, he wanted to... Reduce his troops!

More than two million troops are too large. At other times, they are a frightening force, but under today's circumstances, they have become a great burden.

There is not enough food.

Even if the general's grain supply is halved, Zhang Chengwang's current grain and grass can only support more than two million troops for six days.

What if six days pass?

Kill horses for meat or swallow bark raw?

This is just a way to kill the chicken and get the egg. It doesn't help at all.

Delay is bad for Zhu Yan's army, so Zhang Chengwang must cut the mess quickly and make a cruel decision!

Trade human life for food and grass.

More than 2.6 million troops can consume food and grass for six days. What if only one million people can consume it?

Half a month or 20 days?

Zhang Chengwang didn't calculate carefully, but he knew that this time was enough for Zhu Yan's army to return to Nantes province.

It's not the kind of evacuation that is always worried and afraid of being ambushed by the enemy.

But calmly, with a million elite soldiers who can fight at any time, they returned to Nantes province.

This is one of them.

Second, compared with more than two million troops, the team of one million troops will not be too large and bloated. When there is an enemy attack, it can respond more quickly and do not give the ambush an opportunity to take advantage of, so that it is not afraid to be consumed by people on the way to retreat.

Third, there are about 500000 troops stationed at the outer gate. During this period, the other party is also used to the war at the inner gate. It is difficult to guarantee that it will not relax. When suddenly attacked, the reaction will be worse.

Moreover, although Zhu Yan's army suffered heavy losses, there are still millions of people, which still has an absolute number advantage over the 500000 people stationed at the outer city gate.

The number of people who are unprepared and gain the upper hand may not be able to succeed!

Fourth

As Zhang Chengwang said, this opportunity was bought with blood and flesh by those brothers who died in bo'an city.

His life-threatening attack, even when Zheng Yuanyun was heavily pressed, still made the other party dare not act rashly. All along, he has been using long-range means such as stone catapults, flying arrows and fire plumes to consume Zhang Chengwang's troops.

The consequence of this is that, as can be seen under the city, the road out of the city has almost been blocked by stones and the bodies of Zhu Yan's soldiers.

Although it is difficult for Zhu Yan's army to send people out of the city to charge again, isn't Zheng Yuanyun?

Even if they really wanted to attack the city, the first thing they had to do was to clean up a road for the army to attack.

Zhang Chengwang is not stupid enough to send someone out to clean up the battlefield at this time. Zheng Yuanyun should not have recovered his mind at the moment. His thinking still stays on strict prevention. Naturally, he is happy to keep these obstacles that hinder Zhu Yan's army from leaving the city and prevent the other party from charging so comfortably.

Unexpectedly, this is the purpose of Zhang Chengwang.

It was not easy for Zheng Yuanyun to find that bo'an city was empty because of the enemy's habitual thinking of going out of the city to attack and the blocked road.

Maybe when Zheng Yuanyun reacts, they have broken out of the siege. Maybe.

This plan can't be said before, otherwise it will lead to military riots!

It's the duty of every soldier to fight hard according to the command of the commander, but it doesn't mean that they are willing to be regarded as abandoned children, or even... As a stone blocking the road!

Once Zhang Chengwang's plan is leaked in advance, how can soldiers who think they have been abandoned be brave enough to risk their lives for the almost impossible vitality?

So from beginning to end, only Zhang Chengwang knows about it, and when the time is ripe

Zhang Chengwang gently pointed to the direction of Nantes Province, which immediately made all the generals present understand his intention.

But there's another problem.

Just like when they attacked the city before, Boan city was completely evacuated, but there were still defenders paralyzing their opponents.

The same is true now.

Zheng Yuanyun can't see clearly any more. The empty city tower can still be seen. Therefore, someone must stay here as bait.

So who is it?

After figuring out Zhang Chengwang's arrangement, people were worried about this problem again.

However, what they thought of was that Zhang Chengwang had realized early in his heart.

Zhang Chengwang didn't let everyone tangle for too long. He raised his head. The red light in his eyes may just be stimulated by alcohol.

He opened his mouth and his voice became hoarse: "why don't you go?"

"Commander..."

The chief of the military aircraft hesitated, "we are waiting for your order."

"Do you need any more orders?"

Zhang Chengwang smiled, glanced at the generals who followed him to attack bo'an City, and said sarcastically, "without me, you wouldn't have fought?"

"This..."

Hearing this, the faint guess in everyone's mind seems to be being confirmed, but this result is what everyone doesn't want to see.

"Commander, do you want to..."

The intelligence officer who followed Zhang Chengwang for the longest time hesitated and even gave up.

But he knew very well that once Zhang Chengwang made up his mind, no one could change it.

So Zhang Chengwang's decision is
