"No, actually it's not that it's too late, it's that the Qingyang Order is too powerful!"

Chen Ze thought for a while and added another sentence before Meng Yang spoke.

Meng Yang and Guo Zi both nodded at the same time: "Yes, the Qingyang Order is the supreme military order that only the emperor has in the Qingyang Empire. Seeing the order is like seeing the king!"

Chen Ze continued to sigh: "So Hua Lao's order was not implemented. With the Qingyang Order, it was impossible to leave the troops of Mingxia Province and even the surrounding provinces to him. Instead, hundreds of thousands of troops rushed to Han Cang City in a hurry, and the result was disastrous.

It’s easy to imagine…”

His heart moved slightly. This situation was not similar to the first assessment question that Mr. Hua gave him. The same enemy troops pressed hard on the border, the same siege and reinforcements...

"Yes, so when Mr. Hua rushed to Mingxia Province, he rushed to several cities in succession, and was informed that the troops had marched to Han Cang City, and..."

Meng Yang shook his head and said secretly: "Those bastards in the Bai Lie Empire are cunning and cunning. They are not in a hurry to attack the city. Instead, they are thinking of besieging the city and recruiting reinforcements. The reinforcements from all walks of life are scattered again, and they are defeated one by one on the way!"

"So when Old Man Hua arrived, all he could use were his own five thousand private soldiers!"

Chen Ze was silent, he could probably guess a thing or two about what happened next.

He simply continued on Meng Yang's behalf: "Five thousand versus three million, Mr. Hua has no chance of winning, so he wisely did not go to Han Cang City again, but marched in danger!"

"I think..." Chen Ze habitually nodded the tip of his nose, closed his eyes and thought deeply: "The best choice that Mr. Hua could make at that time was to turn his five thousand soldiers and horses into a force that looked like a ghost.

The robbers penetrated deeply into the territory of the Bai Lie Empire, which was also empty of troops, and fled again and again, using their own power to destroy as many of the opponent's logistical supply lines as possible!"

Hearing this, Meng Yang raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but said: "Brother, do you know about this battle?"

"No, I do not know."

Chen Ze shook his head and said with a smile: "At that time, I was still working as a coolie in the Wei family. Mingxia Province was thousands of miles away from Anluo Province, and the war could not reach Anluo Province at all.

, not to mention the specific military situation is impossible for me, a young follower, to understand."

"and you……"

Meng Yang exclaimed: "You guessed it right!"

"Not accurate!"

Chen Ze said with a solemn expression: "At that time, Hua Lao had only two choices, either, be recruited by the Qingyang Order, lead five thousand soldiers and horses to rush through the encirclement line, and serve the country loyally."

"Or, as I said, go deep behind enemy lines and cut off the enemy's supplies as your own responsibility!"

He paused after saying this. He regretted that there was no sand table for him in Room No. 1. He could only dip his hands in tea, draw on the table, and sort out his thoughts.

After a moment, Fang said: "The Bailie Empire has five million troops, and it was launched in a hurry after acquiring the leader of the Qingyang Kingdom in Han Cang City, so there will naturally be some problems in terms of logistical supplies, and the preparations will not be so complete."

"You must know that the five million army consumes a huge amount of military rations every day. Without continuous supply support, they will not be able to survive for long."

"And because they are thinking of besieging the city and seeking reinforcements, they cannot disperse their forces to occupy other cities in Mingxia Province. This will only increase the risk of being defeated one by one by Qingyang's reinforcements."

"So the three million armies actually have a linkage relationship with each other. If any one of them is missing, it will be affected by the tactics of siege and reinforcement. Then..."

Chen Ze paused with his fingers and pointed heavily behind the densely packed water spots on the table that represented the enemy troops. "The only supplies they can rely on are continuous transportation from the rear to the front line!"

"Hua Lao's best choice at that time was to continuously destroy the opponent's supply lines. Even if he did not have enough troops to cut off all of them, even if he only destroyed one-third of the supplies, the Bai Lie Empire's five million army would be stretched thin!

"

"this……"

Meng Yang and Guo Zi looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. They were stunned for a long time before finally saying: "I don't know if Old Man Hua planned this at that time, but we were really crazy in the Bailie Empire at that time.

Wandering around, specializing in targeting the opponent's logistics and supplies troops."

Chen Ze nodded, his eyes twinkling.

At that time, he guessed that the questions that Mr. Hua asked him must be related to himself. He did not expect that the situation that Mr. Hua was in five years ago was far more dangerous than the test questions he told him.

During the assessment, Chen Ze's answer was to encircle Wei and save Zhao. Hua Lao might not have thought this way five years ago. Unfortunately, he had too few troops at hand, only five thousand, and because of the urgent march, he probably still had all the troops.

Riding light and fast horses simply does not have the conditions to counterattack the enemy's city.

Therefore, Hua Lao could only try his best to use his five thousand private soldiers to penetrate into the enemy's territory and forcibly cut off the enemy's supplies by himself. He hoped that Bai Lie's army would be unable to survive after the food and grass were exhausted, so he could withdraw from the Ming Xia expedition.

Province.

To fight a war is to fight for money. In the stalemate stage, what you fight for is consumption. Whoever cannot afford this consumption will have no choice but to admit defeat.

The Mingxia Province has a vast territory and rich resources. Hancang City is also the leading main city of the Qingyang Empire, and Chunyu, one of the three wise men of Qingyang, is also stationed there. Naturally, the importance of war preparation materials will not be ignored.

Therefore, Han Cangcheng's reserves must be extremely strong. If they have to fight for consumption, Han Cangcheng is not afraid of Bai Lie's army coming from afar. On the contrary, Bai Lie's army will have to withdraw within three days if it does not get enough supplies.

!

But this is only the best ideal situation. With Hua Lao's five thousand troops, it is impossible to completely cut off the opponent's supply line. He can only destroy as much as possible.

One can imagine how high the risks are.

When the lone army went deep into the enemy's territory and the whole people was the enemy, Hua Lao found it difficult to move forward.

In the Bai Lie Empire, Hua Lao's army had no reinforcements to look forward to, no city to recuperate, and even a supply of military supplies would probably have to be plundered.

What they have to face is not only the opponent's army guarding the baggage, but also the small pursuit troops retreating from Bai Lie's army at all times, and even every ordinary citizen in the enemy's country, they have to be on guard.

Chen Ze deeply understood that after making this decision, Hua Lao had basically given up his own life, and at the same time, he had also given up the lives of his five thousand private soldiers.

They want to exchange their lives for Han Cangcheng's breathing space, which means they are ready...

Prepare to die for your country!

Chen Ze's heart felt a little clogged. He looked at Meng Yang and Guo Zi, and it was hard to imagine what the other party had gone through five years ago.

"Then...what happened next?"

After taking a long breath, Chen Ze tried his best to ask in a calm tone.

"later?"
