Guo Zi was stunned for a while, scratching his head for a long time and said, "It's so complicated!"

"But... if we delay like this, won't the Zhu Yan Empire be afraid that Bo'an City will receive more and more reinforcements and finally launch a counterattack?"

After listening for so long, Guo Zi asked the doubts in his heart.

He doesn't have that many tricks up his sleeve. As an elite soldier who leads the charge, his understanding of war is much more intuitive.

Are you going to fight? Whoever has more is more powerful. This can’t be wrong, right?

In Guo Zi's opinion, the Zhu Yan Empire was playing with fire!

After being besieged for such a long time without attacking, if the troops gathered in Bo'an City exceed the Zhu Yan Empire's troops, seeing the lack of food and grass, and simply rush out of the city to fight to the death with the opponent, then...

Anyway, Guo Zi felt that he would definitely do this and would not just sit back and wait for death.

However, when Chen Ze said this, Li Quan'an was already looking at him meaningfully before Chen Ze did anything.

"What, did I say something wrong?"

In front of these people who were playing tactics, Guo Zi felt that he was not very confident, but he still firmly believed that his statement was correct.

"It is impossible to have more troops than the Zhu Yan Empire."

Li Quanan shook his head slightly and denied Guo Zi's statement.

"Why?"

Guo Zi was puzzled and dissatisfied, "Why can't Bo'an's troops surpass him?"

"When I heard that Bo'an was in trouble, all the subordinate cities were sending reinforcements. In Anluo Province alone, there were probably..."

He scratched his head and couldn't remember the specific number clearly. He said uncertainly: "It must be at least two million!"

"There are two million."

Li Quanan agrees with this number.

"That's no more!"

Guo Zi spread his hands and said, "This is just Anluo Province. You see, even Heyuan Province is sending troops to Bo'an City. The longer this takes, the more troops there will be!"

While the two were talking, Chen Ze paid attention to the situation on Xu Qing's side. Seeing that it would still take some time, he couldn't help but turn around and join the discussion. He smiled bitterly and said, "You should look at the map of Bo'an City first."

"Um, this..."

Guo Zi was ashamed.

map?

Of course he has seen it!

When Chen Ze and Li Quan'an were deducing just now, he had seen it a lot.

But to him, there doesn't seem to be much difference between looking at it or not.

"Look, Bo'an City is here."

Chen Ze squatted down and pointed to the location of Bo'an City on the map, "From the map, Bo'an City is only this big, but in fact Bo'an City is very big, but..."

"It's not infinite, right?"

He followed the temptation, waited for Guo Zi to nod blankly, and then said: "Why is the total strength of Anluo Province at two million? This is also taking into account the capacity limit of Bo'an City!"

"Defending the city has an advantage over attacking the city. Considering the size of Bo'an City, the number two million is a very comfortable number in terms of city defense dispatch. It can not only ensure sufficient troops, but also avoid unnecessary unnecessary losses due to the large number of troops entering the city.

blockage."

"So, if two million people defend the city, how many people are needed to attack the city?"

Chen Ze looked at the confused Guo Zi and gave his own answer: "Three million, at least!"

"Considering that Bo'an City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the total military strength is between 3.5 million and 4 million, which is a relatively safe number."

"Only when the opponent's military strength reaches this number, Bo'an City will desperately request support from surrounding provinces without considering the issue of capacity limit."

"Of course, there is no need to think about it at that time. Once the siege begins, the troops of both sides will be consumed at an extremely terrifying speed. It is not an exaggeration to compare the battlefield to a meat grinder."

Guo Zi was really confused and had no idea what Chen Ze was talking about.

Chen Ze continued: "After fighting against Bo'an City for so many years, the three cities of Zhu Yan will not know this, so they will not provoke Bo'an City."

"It is true that their military strength has been increasing, but it is kept at a relatively restrained level, so that Bo'an City will not feel that its life and death is at stake and frantically ask for help."

"The Zhu Yan Empire's current troop investment is far from reaching that number. They always slowly invest another 200,000 troops after Bo'an City's reinforcements reach a certain level. They neither fall behind in terms of total troop strength, nor do they fall behind in terms of total troop strength.

It makes Bo'an City feel unable to cope."

"In this way, the total strength of the two sides is not much different. In order to be safe, Bo'an City will of course choose to focus on defending the city. After all, with Bo'an City's geographical advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack, wouldn't it be silly to give up?"

Hearing this, Guo Zi couldn't help feeling discouraged, but he still felt unwilling to accept it and said: "I understand what brother means. The Zhu Yan Empire just wants to forcefully bring down Bo'an City. However, once the food and grass are exhausted, the people in this city will be destroyed."

Will more than two million soldiers and millions of civilians just sit and wait to be killed?"

"If it were me, I would definitely fight!"

Li Quan'an listened and shook his head secretly, explaining for Chen Ze: "Yes, you can definitely fight hard, but can you fight hard?"

"That's why my lord asked you to read the map carefully."

He pointed to the location of Bo'an City on the map and frowned: "Bo'an City is located at the pass of Anluo Province. The terrain is like an inverted bottle. Bo'an City is the mouth of the bottle, which is the narrowest in the entire bottle.

place, and leaving Bo'an, the terrain gradually opens up, which is conducive to the large-scale advancement of the group army."

"The Zhu Yan Empire's army took advantage of this terrain to suppress the territory outside Bo'an City."

"As for the city gates, the main city gate facing the enemy is very wide and can capture a large number of soldiers at the same time. However, the gates on the left and right sides are built against the mountains and are about half narrower than the main city gate. As for the

The city gate with its back facing Anluo Province is useless for sending troops."

"Then if we want to fight, Bo'an City can only send troops through these three gates, and the result can be imagined."

Li Quan'an sighed, and seeing that Chen Ze had no intention of speaking again, he added: "The Zhu Yan Empire has already deployed heavy troops outside, waiting for you to leave the city and fight. The forces of both sides fighting at the same time are not even the same.

Level, this battle will be won or lost!"

Guo Zi was silent. Only then did he realize that Chen Ze and Li Quan'an had already seen through what he was thinking. It was ridiculous that he was still obsessed with himself.

Little did he know that Chen Ze also saw that Xu Qing couldn't finish it for a while, so he tried to find out the gaps by explaining them to Guo Zi.

The same goes for summoning Cheng Yu.

Chen Ze was so confident before that he didn't notice the other party's true plan. Later, although he realized it and understood the other party's intention, he made a mistake after all.

Wrong is wrong. He didn't mean to be arrogant, so he asked Cheng Yu to come out. The two of them started analyzing the situation again and finally came to the same conclusion.
