Bao Jianye believes that his strategy is sound.

After the first raid was blocked, he could already confirm that Xifeng City was indeed prepared.

Coupled with the trebuchet's extremely long attack range, this really frightened him.

So those sincere words just now were not just spoken to the lieutenant, but were actually used by him to convince himself to calm down.

And he also thought that what he did was right.

However, in Chen Ze's case, he couldn't figure out what on earth this man was doing?

It is true that the first wave of cavalry charges were severely beaten by him because of his surprise and super long attack distance, but this does not mean that Xifeng City is at an advantage.

Even Chen Ze was worried that his strong performance on the frontal battlefield would cause the opponent to divide his troops to attack the other three gates early.

It was precisely because of this concern that he made many arrangements in other places in advance, and he used the 100,000 troops to the extreme.

But at this point, it seems that these arrangements are a bit redundant?

The opponent had no intention of dividing his troops to attack elsewhere, and seemed to have made up his mind to attack the city gate in front of him. Even Chen Ze couldn't understand this operation.

No matter how you look at it, with more fighting less, and for such a small city with weak defense facilities, which is almost nothing, shouldn't it be mainly about pulling and restraining, so that the defenders in the city are exhausted, and eventually they are overwhelmed, defeated, and forced to surrender?

What?

As a result, the opponent's coach's strategy seems to be to focus on a war of attrition.

Is this the strategy he decided upon seeing that he was alone in the attack, with only the isolated city of Xifeng to defend and no resources to supplement it?

How stupid do you have to be to make such an arrangement?

Chen Ze shook his head, really unable to figure out the key.

It is true that they are alone, and it is true that they cannot be supplemented by other cities in Fengqi Province.

But they just occupied a city!

When he drove the civilians away from Xifeng City before, Xu Qing did not let them take away much food, so at this time Xifeng City was still considered to have sufficient food and supplies.

If you want to use a siege strategy to trap them to death, it will be impossible without a month or two.

Yes, behind the opponent is a large granary shared by the four border cities. In terms of material consumption, they are indeed inferior to the opponent, but the current situation does not need to last for a month or two?

In ten days and a half, Yan Haomiao will definitely take action. By then, the entire Fengqi Province will be in flames of war. The three border cities behind them will bear the brunt and will become Yan Haomiao's breakthrough point.

Their own city will be destroyed, are they still in the mood to fight a protracted war here?

Xifeng City is not an important main city, and it is far from being able to trade three cities for one without losing money.

Furthermore, Chen Ze was not completely without reinforcements. Although he could not count on the Bailie Empire, he also asked General Luo to go back to the Qingyang Empire to bring reinforcements. Once the reinforcements arrived, it was not certain who would surround whom.

So, what is the other party playing?

After thinking for a long time, Chen Ze, who thought he had not missed anything, could only shrug his shoulders and expressed his incomprehension at the enemy coach's magical operation.

"The other party is a lonely city. Do you understand what a lonely city is?"

On the other side of the border coalition forces, Bao Jianye was explaining to the generals who were doubtful about his orders. He only heard him confidently say: "They don't have as many soldiers as we do, they don't have as much food as we do, and they don't have reinforcements, so why do we still have them?"

Eager to attack the city?"

"Just stay here and block their retreat. Do they dare to go deeper into Fengqi Province?"

"But..." someone hesitated: "A spy reported that there is an army of at least one million people from the other side gathering in Nantes Province. The longer we delay here, the situation may be..."

Bao Jianye glared at him and said confidently: "What's that?"

"So what if there are millions of enemy troops in the Province of Nantes? If they dare to attack, they would have come a long time ago. Why are they still standing still now?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you more."

He looked around and said mysteriously: "The commander-in-chief has been aware of the situation on our side for a long time, so after sending my brother and I to support him, he also sent more reinforcements and they are coming one after another.

."

"So you don't have to worry about the rear. As soon as we leave, new reinforcements will naturally be stationed to resist the enemy army in the province of Nantes."

"And if you think about it..."

He coughed slightly, making his voice sound deeper. He silently pointed to the battlefield ahead that was being cleared, and lamented: "Do you just want what happened just now to happen again?"

"this……"

As soon as these words came out, everyone below looked at each other in shock.

To be honest, the pelting of stones just now shocked everyone present. Who wants to experience such a thing?

The captain who led the charge last time has died for the country, so who should go next time?

There is no way to fight without death. Death is not terrible. Which of the generals present has not been prepared to serve the country with one's own life?

But the terrible thing is that despite his stupid rush, he couldn't even touch the stones beside the enemy's city wall, and he died inexplicably on the flaming stones that hit him like meteors.

That kind of death...

When I think of the heavily armored cavalry being smashed to pieces, many of them did not take off their armor that was burned red and hot by the flames until they died, and they were burned to death.

Death means death, but that kind of death without any bones is happening right in front of your eyes. It is impossible to say that you are not afraid.

So you don’t agree with Bao Jianye’s strategy?

Okay, then who will serve as the next round of stormtrooper generals?

Moreover, Bao Jianye’s statement is not unreasonable.

It seems that there is really no need for our side to attack the city. As soon as we received the news, we quickly marched here. This was because we considered the other party before taking the city, and we thought that we could attack them first with a surprise attack before they could gain a firm foothold.

Xifeng City was recaptured.

But of course it's no longer possible now. The opponent has made it clear that they have been prepared for a long time. Going to attack the city now is tantamount to asking for death.

Who is willing to die if he can live?

Comparing the two, even the lieutenant general who had previously been dissatisfied with Bao Jianye's strategy bowed his head deeply and could not utter a word.

"Then let's do it this way?"

Bao Jianye was very satisfied with the reaction of his generals and said proudly: "You can rest assured that when Xifeng City is destroyed, it will be our time to avenge the dead soldiers!"

"With this method, we can easily capture this city without spending a single soldier. Why not?"

The generals looked around and saw that no one had any objections, so they had to hand over to Bao Jianye and said: "I am willing to listen to your orders, sir!"
