Yang Mingzhong, a big man, claimed to be his younger brother in front of Chen Ze. It can be seen that he was in a good mood at this time.
His excitement is not unreasonable.
At the beginning, it was Chen Ze's guidance that he took 500000 elite soldiers to raid the city in reverse and succeeded in one strike!
For the generals of Anluo Province, the city of ter is just like the group of Zhu Yan generals of Zhang Chengwang in bo'an city. After years of confrontation, it has also become an obsession in his heart.
Now this obsession has been broken by Yang Mingzhong, and it is not difficult to imagine his excitement and excitement.
And such a great achievement, after his class returned to the dynasty, what was waiting for Yang Mingzhong was to increase his rank and become a grand duke. The great general dared not think, but the general army must be able!
General!
Isn't it equal to Zheng Yuanyun, the mayor of bo'an?
Although Yang Mingzhong didn't mean to surpass Zheng Yuanyun, he might be promoted to the general army. Who doesn't want to?
Chen Ze brought all this to him!
He cried willingly.
Chen Ze also gave a general's gift on horseback. At the same time, he said with a smile, "General Yang, is this a smooth journey?"
"Yes, of course!"
Yang Mingzhong said excitedly, "to be honest with brother Chen, after you and I separated that day, we almost didn't encounter any decent resistance along the way. We drove straight into the city and arrived at the foot of the city. Guess how many defenders there are in the city?"
He winked at Chen Ze and sold it.
"100000?"
Chen Ze reported a number at random.
"Ha ha ha!"
Yang Mingzhong laughed wildly and spread his fingers. "50000, can't you think of it?"
"Only 50000!"
"Fifty thousand?"
Even Chen Ze was stunned by this figure. He couldn't help looking at the tall city wall of ter City, which was not inferior to bo'an city.
As a main city, there are only 50000 defenders left?
Fifty thousand, I'm afraid I'm dissatisfied with the three towers?
In the face of the 500000 troops raided by Yang Mingzhong, only 50000 defenders will do nothing at all. They will be loyal to the country if they don't surrender on the spot.
However, on second thought, we can also know the reason why there are few defenders in Tel city.
At that time, coach Zhu Yan almost exhausted all the troops of Nantes Province, and all of them were under the pressure of Boan City, so that even ter city was empty.
Of course, the other side's practice can also be understood. After all, the city directly faces bo'an city. There is no adjacent threat on both sides. Otherwise, coach Zhu Yan dare not make this lonely bet.
In fact, he has invested more troops than Anluo province. As long as he holds the city of Boan, the number of troops in the city of ter is not important. He only needs to leave a small part to defend the bandits and thieves who may take advantage of it.
That's just what I mean. Like the main city such as terle City, ordinary bandits and thieves dare not come to make trouble. Otherwise, once the war is over, the day of reckoning in the autumn will be when their heads fall to the ground.
The 50000 garrison is actually enough.
Unexpectedly, bo'an city not only chose to withdraw from the city, but even dared to allocate such a large number of troops to raid ter city at that time. If one could not do well, not only bo'an city would be lost. When Zhu Yan's army came to kill a rifle, Yang Mingzhong's 500000 army would wait to be made dumplings!
Of course, this is only an analysis after the event, but the result is doomed. Just looking at Yang Mingzhong's expression, we can see how easy it was for him to win ter city.
While ordering Xu Qing to command the army to follow, Chen Ze and Yang Mingzhong rode side by side. It seemed that they thought of something. They suddenly asked, "General Yang, according to the news received by bo'an City, after you beat down ter City, the enemy troops who broke through from bo'an city rushed back for support, so that you can't take all three cities?"
This is a well-known question. He clearly knows the trend of the millions of troops. This question is asked by Yang Mingzhong. In fact, it is asked to the person behind him.
The man was commander Luo, who changed his entourage's clothes and pressed the brim of his hat very low.
He once said that after traveling with the army, he would not question any of Chen Ze's instructions and handed over all the right of action to Chen Ze.
At this time, if Yang Mingzhong detects that there is a commander in chief here, he will immediately occupy the dominant position anyway. This is not what Luo commander in chief wants, but also his commitment to Chen Ze.
"Is there an enemy?"
Yang Mingzhong was stunned when he heard the speech, scratched his head and said, "maybe there was a mistake in the transmission of information. I didn't encounter the enemy here. Not only that, I also divided 400000 troops to attack Ketan and Xili. There was news back earlier, and these two cities were also won!"
"Got it?"
This time it was Chen Ze's turn to be stunned. He couldn't help looking at Yang Mingzhong and said meaningfully: "General Yang's courage... Is too big."
His total strength is only 500000. Even if there is little loss in attacking the city, it is only 500000.
As the main city, in addition to the army, there are millions of civilians living there. Even if 500000 elite soldiers are in the city, they may not be able to hold down in case of riots.
What's more, he even assigned 400000 troops to attack the other two cities, that is to say, only 100000 troops remained in the city of ter!
100000 people to guard a big city with millions of civilians?
If you say that in Chen Ze's previous life, with the support of powerful hot weapons, you may still be able to do it. In this world, it is still only cold weapons such as knives, guns, sticks and sticks. With 100000 people against millions, the other party is lined up to let you cut with knives. You can't finish it for a moment and a half.
At first, Chen Ze asked Yang Mingzhong to attack the three main cities of Nantes. In fact, he never thought that Yang Mingzhong would occupy the three cities.
Or he took a city and held it. When the crisis in bo'an city was relieved, Zheng Yuanyun sent a large number of troops to help. Then it was time to launch the general attack.
There is another way, but it's too cruel, that is... Burn the city!
When you capture a city, you don't occupy it yourself. After you get enough materials for your army, you set fire to the city to eliminate the rear path of Zhu Yan's army. In this way, you go to the next city and burn the city again until you capture the last city. In this way, you can occupy the three cities with 500000 troops.
However, Chen Ze did not say this method. He believed that Yang Mingzhong could get to this position and naturally see the Guan Qiao in it. These two methods were up to him to choose.
However, Yang Mingzhong did not choose a method, but chose to attack it by points. He wanted to occupy all three cities.
Can this really be done?
"It's not that I'm brave."
Yang Mingzhong was so happy that he pointed forward to the city of ter and said with a smile, "brother Chen, just go to the city and have a look."
"This war not only hurt the strength of our province of anluohang, but also the situation in Nantes is not much better!"
