silence.

Zheng Yuanlong sat back on his city chair and was not in a hurry to leave.

He was also worried about his brother's safety, and he was just a little passionate for a while. Being able to sit in the position of the Lord of a city, naturally he would not be an ordinary person.

Although Chen Ze's words are just an analysis, it makes sense if you calm down and think about it carefully.

What's more, there has already been an incident in Xiyun City.

Thinking deeply about it, it seems unreasonable that the Zhu Yan Empire was willing to invest millions of heavy troops just to place its hope in a poisonous mist forest.

The three armies have to go ahead without using food and grass. To mobilize such a large number of troops, the supply of food and grass alone is an astronomical figure, so it is not an exaggeration to leave a few more back-ups for yourself.

The more he thought about it, the more solemn Zheng Yuanlong's face became, and his eyes turned from Chen Ze to Mr. Jing.

"Lao Jing, you... think so too?"

Compared to Chen Ze, Zheng Yuanlong is more willing to trust this military aircraft chief officer, even if you can add the word "pre" now.

"What you think doesn't really matter."

Mr. Jing said: "As I said just now, we have few troops in the city, but these more than 40,000 troops will not be of any help to the frontal battlefield."

"And if Brother Chen's inference comes true, more than 40,000 troops may not be much, but they are also a burden for Bo'an City to feed themselves, so it is better to use them for other purposes!"

Zheng Yuanlong pondered upon hearing this, looked around at Chen Ze and Mr. Jing, and said in a deep voice: "So what you are saying is that you would rather believe it?"

"good!"

Chen Ze took a step forward with a solemn expression, "Lord City Lord, it has been ten days since the Zhu Yan Empire attacked Bo'an City. I am afraid that besides us, other cities in Anluo Province have sent reinforcements.

Those who are fast and close are probably already here."

"Then the current total strength of Bo'an City is sufficient. There is really no need for the 40,000 of us to join in the fun, so we might as well..."

He took a deep breath and said slowly: "It is better to wander around Anluo Province and clean out the poisonous insects sent by the Zhu Yan Empire!"

The Zhu Yan Empire's attack came one day after he left Bo'an City. Taking into account his journey to the Poison Mist Forest and the five days he spent in Xiyun City, ten days was more than enough.

"Easier said than done!"

Zheng Yuanlong's tone was not as tough as before, but he still shook his head slightly and frowned: "Even if this is true, the cost of Anluo Province is not small. If we refer to the number of troops invested in the Poison Mist Forest, a full attack will not exceed one

Thousands of people.”

"The enemy is hiding and we are hiding. With more than 40,000 people in my general's hands, if you want to achieve accurate sniping, you may have to rely on luck. What's more, no one can guarantee that there will be only one so-called breakthrough, right?"

"It's so difficult to catch the enemy when you don't know anything about them. The greater possibility is that we are running around like headless flies on the borders of Anluo Province!"

Chen Ze smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not completely clueless."

After that, he walked straight to the wall and pointed to the location of the Poison Mist Forest on the map of Anluo Province, "The Poison Mist Forest is a special case. This is the only hidden danger that exists in Anluo Province, so if there are other breakthroughs

If so, I think their number is smaller than the number attacking Xiyun City, so they will not choose to capture the city by alerting others."

"After all, the sentry posts on the national border are not just decorations. They will not be unaware of the intrusion of large-scale foreign enemies."

After a pause, he looked back at Zheng Yuanlong and Mr. Jing, "Since it is impossible to attack the city, their purpose is even clearer, it is for logistics supplies, so..."

"Here, here, and here... these places are the lifeblood of Bo'an City. Almost most of the food and grass will be transported to Bo'an City from here."

Chen Ze pointed out a total of six routes, all ending in Bo'an City, but starting from several agriculturally developed cities in Anluo Province.

What he said made Zheng Yuanlong nod his head repeatedly, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he agreed: "That's right, no matter how these bastards wander around, their purpose is to provide logistical supplies!"

"But..." After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said: "It's still too many. There are six supply lines, and my general's strength is only more than 40,000. This is not enough!"

"The strength of the enemy's troops is still unknown. Even if we divide our troops, they can only be divided into two armies of more than 40,000 people at most. Guarding two lines is the limit. It is impossible to defeat all sides."

Divide the troops.

If you want to defend all six routes, you need to divide six troops. With the current strength of Xiyun City, you can only divide six teams of 8,000 people, not to mention that Xiyun City still needs some troops to defend.

City, so in the most ideal situation, each army has 6,000 people, which is considered good.

Six thousand people is too few. If we encounter them, we can't tell who will hit whom.

And if they are just divided into two teams, the number of people in each team is reasonable, with more than 20,000 people in each team, but there are only two lines that can be guarded. This depends on luck. Maybe if you hold on for a long time, the opponent will not come at all.

, but went to destroy the other four lines.

"No." Chen Ze shook his head and said: "Our military strength is not more than 40,000, but should be... close to 100,000!"

"One hundred thousand?"

Zheng Yuanlong raised his eyebrows, "Do you still want to recruit troops on the spot?"

These words made even Mr. Jing, who rarely spoke, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Zheng Yuanlong was a military general, and he was good at charging into battle, but when it came to controlling the overall situation, he was indeed far behind.

Sure enough, Chen Zedao said: "That's not necessary. If you temporarily recruit people to join the army, firstly, the training will not be enough to make it useful. Secondly, morale will also be a problem. The quantity has gone up, but the quality will definitely not be good."

"Then where did your extra troops come from?"

Zheng Yuanlong was puzzled. He looked at the map of Anluo Province again and shook his head the more he looked at it. "The troops left behind in other cities are probably enough to barely defend the city. There should be no extra troops for us."

Chen Ze smiled bitterly, and finally understood the reason why Zheng Yuanlong could only guard the remote town. The Lord's vision... was really too shallow.

At that moment, he had no choice but to make it clear: "Have you forgotten, Lord City Lord, that you are outside the Anluo Province?"

His finger passed through the poisonous mist forest at the edge of the map, and he clicked on a blank space on the wall, saying: "There is a city here, it is Biping City in Kawara Province!"

"That day, after Bo'an's messenger came to Xiyun City to report the enemy's situation, he rushed to Biping City, the next stop. Calculating the time, the reinforcements sent by Biping City should have arrived."

"yes!"

Zheng Yuanlong slapped his thigh and said suddenly: "Why have I forgotten Lao Yang? In the past, my eldest brother had a grudge with him. If Boan was in trouble, Lao Yang would definitely send troops to help!"

"Then let's wait until Lao Yang's troops arrive and the two parties are united before setting off?"

Unconsciously, Zheng Yuanlong began to inquire about Chen Ze's tone.

"Yes, with 100,000 troops at hand, logistics can be guaranteed to be worry-free, but before the troops from Biping City arrive, there is one more thing that must be done first!"
