The Era of Generals
Chapter 104
Guo Zi was stunned. He scratched his head for a long time. "It''s so complicated!"
"But... If it drags on like this, the Zhu Yan empire is not afraid of more and more reinforcements in bo''an City, and finally counterattack?"
After listening for so long, Guo Zi asked his doubts.
He is not so colorful. As an elite soldier in front of the charge, his understanding of the war is much more intuitive.
War? Who has more people and who is superior? Can''t it be wrong?
When Guo Zi wants to come, Zhu Yan empire is playing with fire!
Besieged the city for such a long time without attacking. If the troops gathered in bo''an City exceed the troops of Zhu Yan Empire, seeing the lack of food and grass, they simply rush out of the city to fight to the death with each other, then
Anyway, Guo Zi thought he would do it and would not wait to die.
However, when he said this, Chen Ze was not very good, and Li Quan''an was looking at him meaningfully.
"What, am I wrong?"
In front of these tactical people, Guo Zi felt that his confidence was not enough, but he still believed that his statement was right.
"It is impossible to have more troops than the Zhu Yan empire."
Li Quan''an shook his head slightly and denied Guo Zi''s statement.
"Why?"
Guo Zi did not understand, but also refused, "why can''t bo''an''s troops surpass?"
"When I heard that Boan was in trouble, all the affiliated cities were sending reinforcements. It was probably just an anluoxing Province..."
He scratched his head and couldn''t remember the specific figures clearly. He was uncertain and said, "at least two million!"
"There are two million."
Li Quan''an agrees with this figure.
"That''s over!"
Guo Zi spread his hands, "this is only anluoxing province. You see, even Heyuan province is sending troops to bo''an city. The longer it takes, the more troops it will have!"
As they talked, Chen Ze paid attention to the situation of Xia Xuqing. It took some time. He couldn''t help but turn back and join the discussion. With a bitter smile, he said, "look at the map of bo''an city first."
"Well, this..."
Guo Zihan''s face.
Map?
Of course he did!
Just now, when Chen Ze and Li Quan''an reasoned, he saw a lot of eyes.
But for him, it doesn''t seem to make much difference between looking and not looking.
"You see, Boan city is here."
Chen Ze squatted down and pointed to the location of bo''an city on the map. "From the map, bo''an city is so big. In fact, bo''an city is very big, but..."
"It''s not infinite, is it?"
After Guo Zi nodded blankly, he said, "why is the total military strength of Anluo province at 2 million? This also takes into account the accommodation limit of bo''an city!"
"Defending the city is more advantageous than attacking the city. With the scale of bo''an City, the number of 2 million is a very comfortable number in urban defense scheduling, which can ensure sufficient troops and will not cause unnecessary obstruction due to a large number of troops entering the city."
"Then, if two million people defend the city, how many people will attack the city?"
Chen Ze looked at the dazed Guo Zi and gave the answer: "three million, at least!"
"Considering the ease of defense and difficulty of attack of bo''an City, the total force is between 3.5 million and 4 million, which is a relatively stable figure."
"Only when the strength of the other side reaches this figure, bo''an city will desperate to ask for support from the surrounding provinces without considering the accommodation limit."
"Of course, there is no need to think about it at that time. Once the siege war calls, the troops of both sides will be consumed at an extremely terrible speed. It is not too much to compare the battlefield to a meat grinder."
Guo Zi was really at a loss. He didn''t know what Chen Ze was talking about.
Chen Ze continued: "after playing against bo''an city for so many years, Zhu Yan''s three cities won''t know this, so they won''t stimulate bo''an city."
"Yes, their troops are increasing all the time, but they are kept at a relatively restrained level. Bo''an city will not feel life and death and ask for help crazily."
"At present, the troops invested by Zhu Yan empire are far from reaching that figure. They always slowly invest 200000 troops after the reinforcements of bo''an city reach a certain level. They neither lag behind in the total troops nor make bo''an city feel unable to cope."
"In this way, there is little difference in the total forces of the two sides. In order to be stable, bo''an city will certainly choose to defend the city. After all, it''s foolish to give up the geographical advantage of bo''an City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack?"
Hearing this, Guo Zi was not discouraged for a while. He still said to himself, "I understand what brother means. Zhu Yan Empire just wants to drag down bo''an city. However, once the food and grass are exhausted, will the more than two million soldiers and millions of civilians in the city sit and wait to die?"
"If it were me, I would spell it!"
Li Quan''an shook his head and explained for Chen Ze: "yes, you can spell it, but you can''t spell it too much?"
"That''s why the LORD made you look at the map."
He pointed to the location of bo''an city on the map and frowned: "bo''an city is located at the pass of anluoxing province. This terrain is like an inverted bottle. Bo''an city is the mouth of the bottle, the narrowest place of the whole bottle. When you go out from bo''an, the terrain will gradually open, which is conducive to the large-scale promotion of the group army."
"The army of Zhu Yan Empire used this terrain to press the border outside bo''an."
"Besides the city gate, the main city gate facing the enemy is very wide and can attack a large number of soldiers at the same time, but the city gates on the left and right sides are built along the mountain, which is about half narrower than the main city gate. As for the city gate facing Anluo Province behind, it is not helpful to send troops."
"Then if you want to fight, bo''an city can only use the three gates to send troops, and the result can be imagined."
Li Quan''an sighed. Seeing that Chen Ze didn''t want to speak again, he said again: "Zhu Yan Empire has already deployed heavy troops outside, waiting for you to go out of the city desperately. The troops of the two sides fighting at the same time are not in the same order of magnitude. In this war, there is no victory or defeat!"
Guo Zi was silent. Only then did he know what he thought. Chen Ze and Li Quan''an had already seen through it. It''s ridiculous that they are still here.
He didn''t know that Chen Ze couldn''t finish seeing Xu Qing for a while and a half, so he explained to Guo Zi to find out the deficiencies and fill the gaps.
The same is true for calling out Cheng Yu.
Before, Chen Ze was so confident that he didn''t notice the other party''s real intention. Later, although he realized and understood the other party''s intention, he was wrong in the end.
Wrong is wrong. He didn''t mean to be arrogant, so he asked Cheng Yu to come out and start analyzing the situation again. Finally, they came to the same conclusion.
After answering Guo Zi''s doubts, it''s almost time. Chen Ze raises his eyes and sees Xu Qing coming to him with a group of baggage convoys.
