Chapter 171 Entering the city
Although it has always been Zhang Chengwang's long-cherished wish to conquer Bo'an City, he has indeed been working hard for this.
No, saying he worked hard would be too insulting to Zhang Chengwang.
For the sake of a Bo'an city, Zhang Chengwang had already put all his energy into it.
All the plots, all the arrangements, all the intrigues, aren't they all for today?
But.
Zhang Chengwang felt like he couldn't get excited at all.
Is it the dullness that comes after seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence?
still……
too easy?
Zhang Chengwang ignored the carnival of his confidants beside him, but frowned slightly in thought.
What went wrong?
But what’s the problem?
Bo'an City is right there, and the flag belonging to the Zhu Yan Empire is flying on top of the city.
Once this important military town in Anluo Province was lost, Zhang Chengwang could not imagine the possibility of the opponent making a comeback.
Even if they cannot take over the entire Anluo Province because of this, just one Bo'an City is completely worth the price. From now on, this city that once belonged to the throat of the Anluo Province will become stuck in the opponent's territory.
A hard bone in the throat.
Vomit, unable to spit out; swallow, unable to swallow.
Sooner or later, Anluo Province will collapse due to the loss of Bo'an City!
No matter how he thinks about it, he will definitely win this battle!
The messengers who rushed back from the front also came to the watchtower at this time and told Zhang Chengwang that the main gate of Bo'an had been sealed with huge rocks.
And this further confirmed Zhang Chengwang's guess.
Zheng Yuanyun, his old rival who had been confronting him for more than ten years, really abandoned the city and fled!
Based on his understanding of Zheng Yuanyun, when he learned from Guo Zi and Du Jun that the two border cities on the western front of Anluo Province were burned down by Ruan Wenshan, Zhang Chengwang had some thoughts in his heart.
guessed.
Although Xiyun City is not big, it is a fortress on the border, while Xichuan City is one of Anluo's six supply lines and is known as the granary of the west.
The loss of these two cities was a huge blow to Bo'an City.
Of course, with the abundant resources of Anluo Province, it is not unacceptable, but the question is, what happens next?
A large number of troops were backlogged in Bo'an City. In order to deal with the number of enemy troops outside the city that was actually greater than the total strength of Bo'an City, Zheng Yuanyun did not dare to move lightly.
After losing in the two cities, Zheng Yuanyun certainly understood that there was a fire inside his house.
But how big is the fire?
What is the size of the ambush troops sent by the Zhu Yan Empire to Anluo Province?
Since we can capture two cities in a row, the number must be large, and 30,000 to 50,000 would be a more reasonable range.
So Zheng Yuanyun wanted to annihilate this ambush force. Note that he wanted to annihilate rather than defeat!
The moths that have sneaked into the body must be uprooted, and it is impossible to let them live inside. Then he needs to send about 150,000 troops to be more secure.
However, Anluo Province is so big, and the enemy is hiding and we are hiding, so just sending a force of 150,000 troops will not help at all.
In order to annihilate the ambush and protect his supply line, Zheng Yuanyun had to spend a lot of troops.
But as a result, Bo'an City's military strength will be tight, and it will be unable to defeat Zhu Yan's army on the frontal battlefield.
There are tigers in front and wolves in the back. It is difficult to do anything inside and outside the city of Bo'an, which is caught in the middle. But if we let it go... it is foreseeable that all six supply lines in Anluo Province will be cut off!
With Bo'an City's current huge military strength, cutting off one supply line will probably have an immediate impact on the logistics supply. And if two or three are cut off, the impact will continue to intensify. Even the Zhu Yan Empire does not need to cut off all supply lines. It only needs to cut off all supply lines.
If it cuts to about three, Bo'an City will not be able to afford the huge daily consumption.
So what's the best option?
Based on Zhang Chengwang's understanding of Zheng Yuanyun, this man was by no means willing to live or die with the city.
Zhang Chengwang can probably guess the choice he will make once he thinks it through and knows that nothing can be done.
Although the city was destroyed, Zheng Yuanyun was still able to retain a large number of troops in order to make a comeback. This cannot be regarded as a mistake.
It was precisely because of his understanding of Zheng Yuanyun that Zhang Chengwang arranged the siege after obtaining information from Guo Zi and his two men.
But in fact, he just wanted to test it out and see what Zheng Yuanyun's reaction was.
However, what I didn't expect was that the city was so broken.
The other party actually simply gave up on Bo'an City!
After thinking again and again, Zhang Chengwang smiled bitterly and shook his head. His old rival was too decisive this time!
In any case, Bo'an City is right there, so there is no need to take it anymore.
Looking at his own soldiers cheering for joy, Zhang Chengwang took a deep breath. Taking a city is not a bad thing after all, right?
It seems to me that I really think too much.
He shook his head to get rid of distracting thoughts from his mind, then waved his hand boldly and shouted from the watchtower: "Army, enter the city!"
…………………………………………
puff!
The gun comes out like a dragon.
When the Gentian bright silver spear was thrust out and then retracted, what others could see was just a faint shadow. Even when it came back and forth, the bright silver gun body was still bright, without even a drop of blood.
But opposite Meng Yang, the burly man with the rank of general, was already staring in disbelief. He raised his hand and tried to cover the bloody hole in his chest. Unfortunately, until he fell down
I also couldn't complete this usually very simple action.
die!
Under Zhao Yun, killing a general is not much different from killing a chicken.
Meng Yang stood proudly on the spot, and he casually smashed the silver gentian spear that was not stained with blood on the ground, and around him were the corpses of hundreds of Zhu Yan soldiers lying in a circle.
Blood flowed into a river.
"Sir, I got it!"
Xu Qingmei reported to Chen Ze outside the battlefield with excitement.
"Um."
Compared to Xu Qing's excitement, Chen Ze's reaction was much duller.
Got it?
With Zhao Yun here, isn't it inevitable to win?
After all, what they were fighting was just a logistics force. Although there were more than 20,000 people in number, there were no strong generals among them. With Zhao Yun's strength, it was not difficult to kill him seven in and seven out.
This was the first logistics unit that Chen Ze led his troops to raid after breaking through Zhu Yan's post.
Zhu Yan's army was huge in number, and the terrain outside Bo'an City was limited after all. Therefore, in order to give up favorable terrain to the main battle troops, Zhang Chengwang arranged a large number of logistics supply troops to the rear and divided them up according to distance.
This was originally intended to facilitate the supply of the army, but now it has become an arrangement to facilitate Chen Ze to obtain military exploits.
Not long after, soldiers escorted three people who also had the rank of general and walked up to Chen Ze.
