The Era of Generals

"The cities along the way?"

It's good not to mention it, but Zheng Yuanlong was even angrier when he mentioned it, and shouted: "Of course I sent it!"

"As soon as the general led his army to Guliang City, you sent people to chase him back. Brother Huang, the owner of Guliang City, has already sent reinforcements on the road!"

"If Bo'an is in trouble, Anluo is in trouble. Which of the surrounding cities is not in a hurry, but it's because I, a brother, haven't sent anyone to help for a long time, hmph!"

The more he talked, the more excited he became, the armrest of the seat was creaking as he pinched it, as if it would break at any moment.

Chen Ze didn't seem to feel Zheng Yuanlong's anger, he frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Mr. Jing again.

"You kid, why are you playing tricks to waste my general's time!"

Seeing that he was silent, Zheng Yuanlong became even more angry. If it hadn't been for Chen Zenai, the hero who saved Xiyun City, he would have slapped this little counselor long ago and lost his way.

"If it's okay, this general is leaving, and Bo'an City is still waiting for support!"

He was short-tempered, seeing that there was nothing wrong with Xiyun City, he didn't bother to talk to Chen Ze any more, so he immediately got up and went to regroup the army before going to Bo'an.

"No!"

Unexpectedly, Zheng Yuanlong's body just moved, but Chen Ze and Mr. Jing stopped him with one voice.

"Um?"

Zheng Yuanlong stared, "What else?"

"My lord, to be honest..."

Mr. Jing shook his head and smiled wryly: "At this time, under Bo'an City, it is a battlefield of millions. Our Xiyun City's tens of thousands of troops are thrown into it, and I'm afraid we can't even splash a few splashes."

Zheng Yuanlong said angrily, "So you won't go?"

"It's not that we don't want to go, but that our 40,000-plus troops have more uses!"

Mr. Jing shook his head and explained.

"Greater use?"

When Zheng Yuanlong heard it, his mood stabilized a little, and he couldn't help asking: "Then what should Mr. Jing see?"

He still admired Mr. Jing's opinion, so he had some expectations for this question.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Jing sighed: "Please forgive me for this, Lord Chengtou. I made a big mistake before the next day and decided to resign from the post of chief officer. Therefore, I am sorry that I cannot give better suggestions."

"You want... to resign?"

As soon as this remark came out, Zheng Yuanlong stared wide-eyed, "I said Lao Jing, what are you doing?"

"What fault is serious enough to resign?"

Mr. Jing shook his head silently, "I will give an explanation to the city lord in the future, but it is obviously not the time to delve into this matter now, it is better to focus on the present."

"How do you focus?"

Zheng Yuanlong said angrily: "The general said he wanted to leave, but you said no, why didn't you say it when I asked you!"

Mr. Jing smiled wryly and said: "Although I can't give advice, this brother Chen can. The city lord may wish to listen to his opinion."

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Yuanlong glanced at Chen Ze, but Chen Ze was looking deeply at Mr. Jing.

After so many days, Chen Ze has never seen him. He never thought that the other party would still remember the resignation that he said that day.

Even at such a time, it was brought up in front of Zheng Yuanlong, clearly to put him on stage.

However, Chen Ze believed that Mr. Jing's resignation at this time did not intend to frame him, but it was more of another level of favor, giving Chen Ze the opportunity to make meritorious service.

No matter what kind of intentions the other party has towards him, at least in this matter, Chen Ze believes that he has good intentions.

"Boy, what do you say?"

Zheng Yuanlong was not a stupid person either, he had already seen that Chen Ze and Mr. Jing seemed to have the same views, but of course he preferred what Mr. Jing said and ignored Chen Ze.

Right now, Chen Ze is the only choice.

"My lord..."

Chen Ze already had a draft in his mind, and after hearing the words, he pondered for a moment and said, "Anluo Province is a large province. In addition to the main city of Bo'an, there are 21 subsidiary cities under its jurisdiction. Among them, Bo'an City has a resident force of 100. 10,000, the combined strength of the twenty-one affiliated cities is about 1.2 million, I don't know if that's right?"

This is the deployment of troops on the surface of Anluo Province, and it is also the number that Chen Ze can obtain under his current military rank.

"Then what?"

Zheng Yuanlong was noncommittal, it was acquiescence.

Chen Zedao: "The total strength of the entire Anluo Province has reached 2.2 million, and they can all gather in Bo'an City within ten days."

"The Zhuyan Empire sent 1.5 million troops this time!"

"Usually in a siege battle, the defenders already have an advantage over the attacker because they occupy the advantage of the city defense. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is more reasonable for the attacking side to invest far more troops than the defending side, unless it is a siege One side has other arrangements."

Chen Ze pointed his fingers habitually at the tip of his nose, thinking: "The Zhuyan Empire's arrangement this time is to use millions of soldiers as bait to lure all the cities to send reinforcements to Bo'an City, and then use Xiyun City as a breakthrough point to take advantage of all the troops. The city was attacked when its troops were empty, with the ultimate goal of disrupting the logistics supply of Bo'an City and delaying the arrival of the reinforcements sent by the empire to Anluo Province."

"But now that Xiyun City is defending, this strategy will naturally not work. Bo'an City can get a steady stream of supplies. As long as we implement the strategy of sticking to it, we will not be afraid of the Zhuyan Empire's successive increase in troops to reach 1.7 million. .”

Speaking of this, the situation that Hua Lao had encountered back then suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but look at Mr. Jing again, and added: "Bo'an City is the mouth of Anluo Province, and its geographical location is special. Passing through, no matter how many troops the Zhu Yan Empire has, it will not be able to surround it into an isolated city."

"So trying to besiege and aid Bo'an City won't work."

After the words were finished, Zheng Yuanlong didn't react yet, but Mr. Jing suddenly raised his head, his eyes flickering.

Chen Ze ignored him, and when Zheng Yuanlong gradually showed a thoughtful look, he said again: "Then the Zhuyan Empire needs to use 1.7 million troops to face head-to-head with Bo'an City, which can reach more than 200 in total. Ten thousand soldiers, no matter how you think about it, it’s unreasonable.”

"However, under this unreasonable premise, the Zhuyan Empire is still increasing its troops to Bo'an City. If the opposing commander is either stupid or confident, there is another arrangement!"

Zheng Yuanlong's eyes flickered, "You mean... they have another breakthrough?"

"good!"

Chen Ze said affirmatively: "Aside from starting to destroy from within, I really can't think of how the Zhuyan Empire can attack cities and land while fighting more with less!"

"If I'm right, I'm afraid another breakthrough has already been breached. That's why the Zhuyan Empire is increasing its troops. The purpose is to put pressure on Bo'an City so that all the reinforcements who arrive will not dare to leave easily. Otherwise, if the troops in Bo'an City are insufficient, there is a risk of being captured!"

"The increase in troops is not to carry out siege warfare regardless of consumption, but to use such a message to make Bo'an City an isolated city in another sense. All troops are allowed to enter and not allowed to leave, so there is no time to take care of the internal damage! "
