"We didn't encounter an ambush because the ambush wouldn't attack troops carrying baggage!"

Chen Ze frowned, seeming to be talking to himself and discussing with Li Quan'an.

"There are only 20,000 people facing six supply lines. As long as they take action, it is impossible not to leave clues and let Bo'an City notice the problems on the supply lines."

"Once Bo'an City becomes aware of it, on the one hand, it will inevitably send troops to inspect various places. On the other hand, it will also be alerted to the problem of food and grass. This will cause the reinforcements from each city to postpone their entry into Bo'an City and disperse to the surrounding cities to stand by."

"As a result, the Zhu Yan Empire's 20,000-person ambush has lost its effect, and the original plan to use a large number of reinforcements to consume Bo'an City's food reserves has also come to nothing."

Li Quan'an nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and when Chen Ze paused for a moment, he continued: "So if I am the Zhu Yan Empire, I will not touch the baggage on these supply lines for the time being, at least not at the beginning of the war.

"

Chen Ze then asked: "If it were you, what would you do?"

"it's me?"

Li Quan'an thought for a moment, raised a finger, and said in a deep voice: "If I were the commander of the ambush, first, I would arrange a small number of manpower to ambush near all the supply lines in advance, without taking action, and just hide in the dark and record what happened.

The number of supply troops sent by the supply city to Bo'an City."

"Second, after we have detailed data, we can analyze the time it takes for these troops to return to the city and the strength of each troop based on the length of the journey."

"Third, after planning the time, notify the large troops on standby to attack the weakest of the troops returning to the city on each line with thunderous force!"

"Firstly, these troops returning to the city are not disturbed by their baggage. Secondly, after completing the escort mission, they are at the lowest alert level. Once they are surrounded, the enemy's morale will have been shattered without even making a move, and they can be taken away without leaving a trace.

Down."

After a pause, Li Quanan said emphatically: "Be careful here, only attack the weaker ones, rather than bury all the troops!"

"Bo'an City's logistics cannot have major problems for the time being. I will reserve a part of the baggage troops for each line so that they can transport food to Bo'an again."

Hearing this, even Chen Ze had already thought of this section and still asked: "What is the purpose of doing this?"

Li Quan'an replied: "On the one hand, this can paralyze Bo'an City and make them think that there is no problem with the supply line and they can still receive supplies on time."

"On the other hand, it is also gradually eroding the garrison strength of the cities at the end of each supply line."

"You know, each of these baggage troops has their own escort mission. It is a cyclic operation. After returning to the city, they will take a new batch of food and grass on the road as soon as possible, instead of waiting for the next batch of people to come back before setting off!

"

Chen Ze nodded in agreement.

In fact, if there had not been problems in Xichuan City before and he happened to be there, Captain Huang Zhengyang would have escorted a new batch of supplies that had been prepared on the road after returning to the city. Their three baggage troops in Xichuan City

There is no need to gather with each other, just keep circulating on the supply line.

Therefore, after returning to the city and continuing on the road, Huang Zhengyang would not know that something was wrong with the other two troops.

Maybe after walking halfway, he would realize like Chen Ze did that the colleagues he was supposed to meet had not been seen, and he would become suspicious.

But at that time, his main task was still to transport the baggage to Bo'an City. At the same time, he had not received any news of enemy troops escaping in Anluo Province, so this suspicion should not be too serious.

Li Quan'an added: "Bo'an City will receive the first complete batch of supplies delivered by the six supply lines, which will further paralyze the other party and prevent them from focusing on the supply lines."

"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 from Bo'an City. After all, troops like Xichuan Huang Xiaowei who are transporting grain into Bo'an for the second time are present on every line. This proves that the supply lines are still in continuous operation."

"In addition, the food and grass supply in Bo'an City should have been sufficient at that time, so in Bo'an City, it is estimated that only the logistics officer responsible for receiving the baggage would start to complain, and send messengers or fly pigeons to send letters directly to urge the cities to deliver food and grass as soon as possible.

"

"Then what will the cities that receive the military order do?"

Li Quan'an's eyes fell on the map, and he paused slightly at the cities responsible for preparing supplies for each supply line. He shook his head and said: "The military order is in front of me. Even if I have doubts, the top priority is to deliver food as soon as possible."

"So they will try their best to reduce the number of troops defending the city, allocate some people to form a new supply unit, and rush to Bo'an City quickly. When they think about it, the troops returning to the city will be back in a day or two, and then they can naturally

Replenish it to the defense force."

"You must know that most of the high-ranking generals in each city have led their reinforcements to Bo'an. The generals who are left behind do not have high positions and naturally have low authority. Everything will be based on military orders."

Chen Ze followed his words and said: "Then, troops like General Huang who are transporting baggage to Bo'an for the second time will inevitably be ambushed on their way back, because these troops are already suspicious and will pay extra attention to the road.

Our own baggage troops on the way."

"At this point, the baggage troops initially prepared by each city have been completely destroyed, and a new round of baggage troops composed of compressed defenders will continue to operate on the supply line."

"A supply delivery can take as short as a few days or as long as more than ten days. When the baggage troops replaced by the defenders are also cannibalized, this battle has been at least almost a month, and all the reinforcements that should have arrived or should not have basically arrived.

By then, Bo'an City's daily military ration supply will reach a terrifying figure!"

"And at this time, when the cities have run out of dispatches and can no longer mobilize heavy supplies, Bo'an City's supply line will naturally be cut off!"

Chen Ze sighed: "Once the supply line is cut off, the seemingly sufficient military rations cannot last for long. Bo'an City, which has aroused alarm, will immediately send troops to everywhere to check the situation. Unfortunately, it is already too late."

"The number of defenders in the cities responsible for supply, such as Xichuan City, was also reduced to its lowest point at that time. It is estimated that it will not be more than three thousand. Compared with the huge number of Xichuan City, this number is not enough to organize an effective city defense battle.

of."

"After the Zhu Yan Empire's ambush troops killed the last supply unit on the supply line, the next thing they had to do was to attack the city with thunderous force and seize the six major granaries of Anluo Province!"
