Who dares to evacuate Bo'an City at this time?

Although Chen Ze used the word "dare", which was very disrespectful to these generals who were much higher than him in military rank, no one could deny that no one dared to withdraw from Bo'an at this time!

After waiting for a long time and getting no response, Chen Ze finally said: "So this is the disadvantage of losing time!"

"We all know that the Zhu Yan Empire may retreat if its plan fails, but who can act rashly at this time?"

"Until we clearly know that the Zhu Yan Empire has withdrawn its troops, the reinforcements that came to Bo'an City, and the reinforcements that are coming, can still only defend Bo'an City!"

Everyone was silent.

Chen Ze's words made even the opposite city lord Qiu Ding speechless.

Yes, although we know that the war situation is developing in our favor, when the Zhu Yan Empire still has more than two million troops stationed outside Bo'an City, no one here dares to leave.

Even if you want to leave, you can't. If you leave, Zheng Yuanyun will be offended. How will you be able to hang out in Anluo Province in the future?

"Then don't withdraw!"

City Lord Qiu Ding was bored for a long time, but still said unwillingly: "So what? If they don't leave, we won't move, there is no difference!"

"have!"

Chen Ze immediately retorted: "Of course there is a difference!"

"Our purpose is very clear, which is to defend Bo'an City. Because of Bo'an City, more than two million troops inside and outside the city are now in the open. Even if the enemy has no intelligence at all, you can still conclude that your Excellencies will not

Evacuate this city!"

"But where is the enemy?"

"We are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark. Without intelligence information, we lose people and people. We don't know the Zhu Yan Empire's troop deployment at all!"

"Suppose the Zhu Yan Empire dedicates 500,000 troops to the west of Anluo Province, uses 500,000 troops to storm the border with no reinforcements, starts from the Poison Mist Forest, and then takes Xiyun City, and then

How about advancing all the way and attacking Bo'an City from the rear?"

"Let's also assume that the Zhu Yan Empire also detached another 200,000 troops to force their way in from the steep mountain east of Anluo. They began to attack the city from Zhangning City, and finally attacked Bo'an City from the rear, and then attacked Bo'an City from the rear.

What to do?"

Two in a row, beads of sweat rolled down the forehead of Lord Qiu Ding.

If this happens, Bo'an City will be doomed.

Regardless of whether it is an army of 500,000 or 200,000, it is not realistic to attack Bo'an City, which has a total strength of more than 2 million, but there is no problem in cutting off the entire six supply lines.

If this is true, the danger of ambushes and food shortages that Bo'an City has just resolved will happen again.

Yes, using a large army to attack the east and west is not like the small-scale ambush before. You can go to great lengths to avoid the spy posts throughout the Anluo Province.

But at that time, there was no need to be violent and exposed. Hundreds of thousands of troops attacked, which was far beyond the ability of the city that had lost most of its garrisoned troops due to support.

Do you want to say that Bo'an City also sent troops to annihilate the enemy?

How much pie is appropriate?

Whether it was five hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, these were numbers that Chen Ze mentioned casually. The actual number could only be determined based on the intelligence at that time.

But how accurate is the intelligence sent by the scouts when they are crushed by the army?

To be on the safe side, this issue must be taken into consideration when dispatching troops. In order to annihilate the enemy troops who invaded Anluo Province with one strike, Bo'an City must send more troops to support than the number stated in the intelligence.

Talented time.

The opponent has 300,000 people, so sending 500,000 would be a relatively safe number.

But in this way, Bo'an City's own troops will be greatly dispersed, making the troops on the frontal battlefield even smaller than those of the Zhu Yan Empire!

With such a move, if the Zhu Yan Empire sent 800,000 troops, then Bo'an City would have to send between 1.4 million and 1.6 million troops!

How can we defend the city?

After being frightened for a long time, Qiu Ding City Lord's momentum was obviously weakened, and he said firmly: "Then we can also make arrangements early to guard against his move!"

Chen Ze shook his head, "As your Excellency said just now, Bo'an City is in a situation where the enemy will not retreat and we will not move."

"Without accurate information about Zhu Yan Empire's large-scale troop mobilization, Bo'an City's troops cannot move rashly."

"But after the intelligence system is cut off, we can only use three methods to determine the opponent's military strength."

He raised a finger and said in a deep voice: "First, stand on the top of the city and directly observe the size of the opponent's army, but this is not accurate. After all, the place is so big. Looking from the front of the city, does the opponent have one million or more?"

There is no difference between two million, all you can see are densely packed heads."

"two!"

Chen Ze stretched out his second finger and said, "You can judge the size by looking at the number of tents, but tents can be faked. So what if two million people set up a camp with four million people?"

Then came the third one, "Three, when the enemy buries the pots to make rice, they can judge the number of stoves built by the rising smoke pillars, and then infer the number of soldiers."

"This is even more inaccurate!"

"The problem of feeding more than two million people cannot be solved at the same time. It can only be done in batches. Then the number of stoves will be a question mark."

"What's more, just like the second point, you can also forcibly expand your own scale through fraud."

After saying so much in one breath, Chen Ze stopped and waited for a moment. At the same time, he also observed the generals including Zheng Yuanyun and Commander Na Luo looking thoughtful.

After guessing that it was almost done, he added: "So we actually don't know how many people the enemy has outside. So, how can we prepare for it in advance?"

"Deploy troops to support various places in advance. If the opponent doesn't leave at all, Bo'an City's troops will be empty for a while, which may lead to a total loss!"

"If you don't leave, what if the enemy leaves?"

"They rushed to the planned location first and launched the attack. Only then could the information from the attacked city be sent back. Only then did Bo'an send troops to support them. The delay on the road would have been too long."

"This will cause our army to be led by the opponent all the time. After holding back this part of the reinforcements, when the enemy's main force remains in the front and launches an siege, do you still have the heart to drink a cup of tea at the top of the city?"

"you!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Ze made fun of him at this moment. City Lord Qiu Ding's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver and said angrily: "This is all your guess. If the Zhu Yan Empire wanted to do this, what would it have done?

went?"

"Then according to what you say, the previous ambush plan was simply superfluous!"

"No!"

Chen Zefu said: "There is nothing wrong with the ambush plan. That should be the original plan of the Zhu Yan Empire. Moreover, this possibility mentioned below could not be completed before because the general trend at that time was not yet achieved!"

"In the early days, the opposing forces between the two sides were not so large. If the Zhu Yan Empire divided its forces, it would not be able to continue to exert strong pressure on Bo'an City, forcing the forces of Anluo Province to gather."

"Moreover, the forces of Anluo Province at that time were not concentrated in Bo'an City. If you wanted to forcefully attack the border, the price you would have to pay would be huge, and there would even be a risk of failure."
