"Cities along the way?"

It was okay not to mention it, but Zheng Yuanlong became angrier when he mentioned it, shouting: "Of course I will send it!"

"As soon as I led my army to Guliang City, you sent people to chase me back. Brother Huang, the lord of Guliang City, also sent reinforcements on the way!"

"When Bo'an is in trouble, An Luo is in trouble. No one in the surrounding cities is in a hurry. It's just me, a brother, who hasn't sent anyone to support for a long time, huh!"

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and the armrest of the seat made a crackling sound when he squeezed it, as if it would break at any time.

Chen Ze didn't seem to feel Zheng Yuanlong's anger. He frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Mr. Jing again.

"You kid, are you trying to make some mystery to waste this general's time?"

When Zheng Yuanlong saw that he was silent, he became even more angry. If Chen Zenai hadn't saved the great hero of Xiyun City, he would have slapped this little counselor in the face earlier.

"If nothing goes wrong, this general is leaving, and Bo'an City is still waiting for support!"

He had a quick temper. Seeing that nothing happened in Xiyun City, he was too lazy to talk to Chen Ze anymore and immediately got up to reorganize his troops and go to Bo'an.

"No!"

Unexpectedly, just before Zheng Yuanlong moved, Chen Ze and Mr. Jing stopped him in unison.

"Um?"

Zheng Yuanlong frowned, "What else can you do?"

"Lord City Lord, to be honest..."

Mr. Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "At this time, there is a million-level battlefield under Bo'an City. If we put tens of thousands of troops in Xiyun City, we may not even be able to splash a few splashes."

Zheng Yuanlong said angrily: "So you won't go?"

"It's not that we won't go, but that our more than 40,000 troops have greater uses!"

Mr. Jing shook his head and explained.

"A greater use?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuanlong calmed down a little and couldn't help but ask: "What should Mr. Yijing see?"

He still admired Mr. Jing's opinions, and he had some expectations for this question.

However, Mr. Jing sighed and said, "I ask for your forgiveness, Lord Chengtou, about this. I made a big mistake before the next day and decided to resign from the post of officer in charge. I apologize for not being able to give you better suggestions."

"You want... to resign?"

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Yuanlong's eyes widened, "I'm talking about Lao Jing, what kind of trouble are you making?"

"What mistake is serious enough to warrant resignation?"

Mr. Jing shook his head silently, "I will explain this matter to the Lord of the City later. However, it is obviously not the time to delve into this matter now. It is better to focus on the present."

"Why focus?"

Zheng Yuanlong said angrily: "I said I wanted to leave, but you said no, why didn't you say it?"

Mr. Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Although I can't give you any advice, Brother Chen can. The Lord of the City may wish to listen to his opinion."

As soon as he said this, Zheng Yuanlong glanced at Chen Ze, but Chen Ze was looking deeply at Mr. Jing.

After so many days, Chen Ze has never seen him. Unexpectedly, the other party still remembered what he said about his resignation that day.

To mention it in front of Zheng Yuanlong at this time is obviously to put him on stage.

However, Chen Ze believed that Mr. Jing's abdication of power at this time did not mean to frame him. It was more of another level of goodwill, giving Chen Ze this opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

No matter what intentions the other party had against him, at least in this matter, Chen Ze believed that he had good intentions.

"Boy, what do you have to say?"

Zheng Yuanlong is not a stupid person. He has long noticed that Chen Ze and Mr. Jing seem to have the same views, but of course he would prefer what Mr. Jing says and ignore Chen Ze.

Right now, Chen Ze is the only choice.

"Lord City Lord..."

Chen Ze already had an idea in his mind. After hearing the words, he pondered for a moment and then said: "Anluo Province is a large province. In addition to the main city of Bo'an, there are 21 auxiliary cities under its jurisdiction. Among them, Bo'an City has a permanent force of 100 troops.

Ten thousand, the total strength of the twenty-one affiliated cities is around 1.2 million, I wonder if that’s correct?”

This is the official troop allocation of Anluo Province, and it is also the number that Chen Ze can obtain at his current military rank.

"Then what?"

Zheng Yuanlong was noncommittal, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Chen Zedao: "The total strength of the entire Anluo Province reaches 2.2 million, and they can all gather at Bo'an City within ten days."

"The number of troops sent by the Zhu Yan Empire this time is 1.5 million!"

"Usually in a siege battle, the defenders have an advantage over the attackers because they have the advantage of city defense. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is more reasonable for the siege force to invest much more troops than the defenders, unless it is a siege.

One party has other arrangements."

Chen Ze pointed his finger at the tip of his nose habitually and thought: "The Zhu Yan Empire's plan this time is to use millions of soldiers as bait to lure all the cities to send reinforcements to Bo'an City, and then use Xiyun City as a breakthrough to take advantage of the various cities.

The ultimate goal is to disrupt Bo'an City's logistical supplies and delay the arrival of reinforcements sent by the Empire to Anluo Province."

"But now that Xiyun City is defended, this strategy will naturally not work. Bo'an City can receive a steady stream of supplies. As long as it implements the strategy of holding on, it will not be afraid of the Zhu Yan Empire who has successively increased its troops to reach 1.7 million.

.”

Speaking of this, the situation that Hua Lao had encountered suddenly appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but look at Mr. Jing again and added: "Bo'an City is where the overflow of Anluo Province is located. Its geographical location is special. If you can't get from the city

Passing through, no matter how many troops Zhu Yan Empire has, they can't surround it into an isolated city."

"So it is not feasible to lay siege to Bo'an City and provide reinforcements."

After the words fell, Zheng Yuanlong had no reaction, but Mr. Jing suddenly raised his head, his eyes flickering.

Chen Ze ignored him, and when Zheng Yuanlong gradually showed a thoughtful look, he said again: "Then the Zhu Yan Empire needs to use 1.7 million troops to go head-to-head against the more than 200 that Bo'an City can reach.

With tens of thousands of troops, this is unreasonable no matter how you think about it.”

"But under this unreasonable premise, the Zhu Yan Empire is still increasing its troops to Bo'an City. Either the opponent's commander is stupid, or he is emboldened, and there is another layer of arrangements!"

Zheng Yuanlong's eyes flickered, "You mean... they have another breakthrough?"

"good!"

Chen Ze affirmed: "Except for destroying it from within, I really can't figure out how the Zhu Yan Empire can still attack the city and plunder the territory even though it uses less to attack more!"

"If I am right, I am afraid that another breach has been breached, so the Zhu Yan Empire continues to increase its troops. The purpose is to put constant pressure on Bo'an City so that all the reinforcements that arrive dare not leave easily.

Otherwise, once Bo'an City's troops are insufficient, there is a risk that it will be captured!"

"The purpose of increasing troops is not to carry out siege warfare regardless of consumption, but to use such a message to make Bo'an City an isolated city in another sense. All troops are allowed in but not allowed out, so that they have no time to take into account the damage being suffered internally!
