Chapter 189 ?????? The decision of the coach
Bo'an City Head.
Looking at Zhang Chengwang drinking boldly, all the generals were silent.
The finger just now made them understand Zhang Chengwang's purpose.
In other words, Zhang Chengwang has been laying out a plan that can keep Zhu Yan's army alive.
From the very beginning, perhaps their coach had never thought of breaking through the city gate on the side of Anluo Province... No, maybe he had thought about it, but it was just a test. When Boan's army came back to their senses,
After the road is blocked, a breakthrough is no longer possible.
But Zhang Chengwang's ultimate goal was the outer city gate facing the province of Nantes.
Compared with the size of Bo'an's army, the number of troops stationed at the outer city gate will eventually be smaller.
But when the battle just started, Zhang Chengwang could not expose this purpose.
What he thought of was something Chen Ze and Mr. Hua had also considered.
With the size of Zhu Yan's army and the lack of food and grass, the enemy troops at the outer city gate did not need to confront it head-on. Instead, they only had to turn the army on the surface into an ambush and chase Zhang Chengwang's ass.
Fighting will definitely cause them heavy losses.
So what Zhang Chengwang is doing is the result that everyone hopes to see, using his superior strength to head-on the equally large Bo'an army.
So, what is the purpose of doing this?
Reduce...the force!
No one wants to admit this, but it is actually the case.
Zhang Chengwang had previously sent a large number of troops to storm Zheng Yuanyun's military camp. On the one hand, it was a desperate attack. On the other hand, and most importantly, he wanted to... reduce the number of troops!
The strength of more than two million troops is too large. At other times, it is a terrifying force, but under the current situation, it has become a huge burden.
Food and grass are running out.
Even if the general's food supply is halved, Zhang Chengwang's current food and grass can only support an army of more than two million people for six days.
What should I do when six days are over?
Kill a horse for its meat or eat its bark raw?
This is just a method of killing the chicken to lay the eggs, which is of no use at all.
Delay is not good for Zhu Yan's army, so Zhang Chengwang must cut through the mess quickly and make a very cruel decision!
Use human lives in exchange for food and grass.
An army of more than 2.6 million people can consume six days of food and grass. What if there are only one million people to consume it?
Half a month or twenty days?
Zhang Chengwang did not calculate carefully, but he knew very well that this time would be enough time for Zhu Yan's army to return to Nantes Province.
This is not the kind of evacuation where you are always worried about being ambushed by the enemy and your vitality will be severely damaged.
Instead, they took it calmly and returned to the province of Nantes with one million elite soldiers ready for bloody battles at any time.
This is one of them.
Secondly, a force of one million will not be too large and bloated compared to more than two million. When an enemy attack occurs, it can respond more quickly and prevent ambushes from taking advantage of it, so there is no risk of
He was consumed crazily during the retreat.
Thirdly, the number of troops stationed at the outer city gate is about 500,000, and during this period of time, the other side has also become accustomed to the battles at the inner city gate. There is no guarantee that they will not relax. If they are suddenly attacked, they will react accordingly.
Not as good as that.
Furthermore, although Zhu Yan's army suffered heavy losses, it still numbered millions. Compared with the 500,000 people stationed at the outer city gate, it still had an absolute numerical advantage.
If you are unprepared and have the upper hand in numbers, it may not be impossible to accomplish something!
Fourth...
As Zhang Chengwang said, this opportunity was obtained with the flesh and blood of those brothers who died under Bo'an City.
His desperate attack, even now when Zheng Yuanyun was pressing heavily, still made the opponent dare not act rashly. They had been using catapults, flying arrows and fire feathers and other long-range means to consume Zhang Chengwang's troops.
The consequences of this are as seen below the city. The road out of the city has almost been blocked by stones and the corpses of Zhu Yan soldiers.
It is certainly difficult for Zhu Yan's army to send people out of the city to charge, but why not Zheng Yuanyun's side?
Even if they really wanted to attack the city at this time, the first thing they had to do was to clear a road for the army to charge.
Zhang Chengwang would not be so stupid as to send people out to clean up the battlefield at this time, and Zheng Yuanyun should not have come to his senses at the moment. His thinking is still on tight defense, so naturally he is happy to keep these things to prevent Zhu Yan's army from leaving the city.
The obstacles prevent the opponent from charging so comfortably.
Little did he know that this was Zhang Chengwang's purpose.
With the inertial thinking that the enemy would come out of the city to attack, and the roads being blocked, it was not easy for Zheng Yuanyun to discover that Bo'an City was deserted.
Maybe by the time Zheng Yuanyun reacts, they may have broken out of the encirclement.
This plan cannot be announced beforehand, otherwise it will definitely cause a military riot!
It is the obligation of every soldier to obey the commander's orders and fight desperately, but this does not mean that they are willing to be treated as outcasts, or even... treated as stones blocking the road!
Once Zhang Chengwang's plan was leaked in advance, how could the soldiers who thought they had been abandoned be brave enough to risk their lives for an almost impossible chance of survival?
So only Zhang Chengwang knew about this matter from beginning to end, and when the time comes...
Zhang Chengwang gently pointed his finger in the direction of Nantes, and all the generals present immediately understood his intention.
But there's another problem.
Just like when they attacked the city before, although Bo'an City had retreated completely, there were still defenders paralyzing the opponent.
It's the same now.
Even if Zheng Yuanyun can't see clearly, the empty tower can still be seen. Therefore, someone must stay here as a bait.
So who is it?
After thinking clearly about Zhang Chengwang's arrangements, everyone became worried about this issue again.
However, Zhang Chengwang had already realized what they thought.
Without letting everyone hesitate for too long, Zhang Chengwang raised his head. The red light in his eyes might just be due to the stimulation of alcohol.
He spoke, his voice becoming hoarse: "Why aren't you going?"
"Master Coach..."
The military aircraft commander hesitated, "We are waiting for your order."
"Do you still need an order?"
Zhang Chengwang smiled freely, glanced at the generals present who followed him to attack Bo'an City, and said sarcastically: "Without me, you won't be able to fight?"
"this……"
After hearing this, everyone's vague speculation seemed to be being confirmed, but this result was something no one wanted to see.
"Master coach, do you want to..."
The intelligence officer who had followed Zhang Chengwang for the longest time looked hesitant, even a little reluctant.
But he knew very well that once Zhang Chengwang made up his mind, no one could change it.
Chapter completed!
