"Where are the reinforcements? Haven't they arrived yet?"

Inside the Boan army tent, Zheng Yuanyun's roar was louder than ever.

In the roar, the accountants were speechless, and no one could answer Zheng Yuanyun's questions at this time.

The battle has already begun, and after one day and one night, both sides have suffered tremendous loss of force.

Zhang Chengwang had insufficient food and grass there, so before the food crisis broke out for the time being, he could say that he went all out and launched wave after wave of swift charges to the Bo'an army camp in a deadly battle regardless of consumption.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Zheng Yuanyun was still caught off guard against Zhang Chengwang's expendable charge.

The strength of Bo'an City was originally less than that of Zhu Yan's army, and the opponent had put on a desperate posture, but Zheng Yuanyun's strength was much better than that of the opponent.

Up to now, Zhu Yan's army has lost 300,000 troops, but in Bo'an City, nearly 500,000 soldiers have fallen on the battlefield forever.

If it hadn't been for the tacit understanding of the two sides to send someone to clean up the corpses on the battlefield and delay it for some time, it is estimated that the loss of this force would increase by one third!

Even his brother Zheng Yuanlong was accidentally injured by Liu Shi during the last match. He is currently undergoing emergency treatment by the military escort, and his life has not been out of danger so far.

How can this make Zheng Yuanyun not angry?

Zheng Yuanyun, who was blushing with irritation, had no time to consider whether it was worth it or not. He did not regret this problem. When riding a tiger, he could only ask for support from the city behind. Anyway, he had to overcome Zhang Chengwang. The craziest of this one.

It will take time for the reinforcements to arrive.

Although he had dispatched a large number of messengers at the first time, it would take time to go back and forth. In addition, he asked for the last defender of the city in the rear, and the handover and scheduling etc. could not be completed in an instant.

So now, even the closest city to Boan has not seen any reinforcements arrive.

Unable to get supplements, Zheng Yuanyun was eager to attack his heart, screaming at his head and covering his face, regardless of the fact that many of the generals present were the city lord of the rear city. The urgency in their hearts was not lower than that of Zheng Yuanyun before the reinforcements arrived.

"Master Zheng is in a hurry, but the old man has a plan here, or it may delay some time."

At this moment, he could still speak calmly, and he would have grown old if he was not afraid of Zheng Yuanyun's prestige.

Since that day, Hua Lao seems to have quit drinking, he really hasn't drunk it again.

As soon as he opened his mouth, all the generals' eyes gathered on him, and Zheng Yuanyun no longer cared about maintaining the profound appearance of his deputy commander. He immediately opened his mouth and said: "What is the wisdom of Mr. Hua?"

"I can't talk about it."

Old Hua shook his head slightly, looked through the big tent, and took a look in the direction of Bo'an City, and said, "Since the two armies cannot face each other, let's attack the city!"

"Siege?"

Zheng Yuanyun was stunned. He didn't expect that the strategy Hua Lao said was to siege the city?

With the current situation, they are still attacking the city?

If the person who said this was not Hua Lao, Zheng Yuanyun would have been unable to hold back his anger for a long time, for fear that someone would be ordered to drag him out and beat him up.

As we all know, it is difficult to siege a city, but easy to defend.

Their current forces are already weaker than their opponents, and they are still running up to attack the city. Is this because they have not collapsed fast enough?

"Old Hua, with our current strength, it doesn't seem to be suitable..."

Zheng Yuanyun took a deep breath, restraining the burning anger in his heart.

This is Qingyang Zhijiang?

Are you stupid to drink?

But Hua Lao didn't mind the strange gaze that everyone in the tent looked at him, and said lightly: "The siege depends on the method of siege."

"Who said that as long as you attack the city, you must do your best?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expressions were dumbfounded, and Mr. Hua's words seemed...

Zheng Yuanyun also looked pensive, but the general Luo on the side suddenly said: "I see, Hua Lao meant to lock Zhu Yan's army in Boan City!"

He slapped his hands and exclaimed, "This is a wonderful strategy!"

At this time, the generals also reacted to what Hua Lao's so-called strategy came from.

Right now, the two armies are competing in the city's frontiers for hard power.

The two sides have faced each other for many years, and they have been evenly matched. Zhang Chengwang and Zheng Yuanyun also know the bottom line. What kind of battle the other side will make and how they will react in the battle are all clear.

Therefore, the so-called hard power is more reflected in the number of troops.

Before the reinforcements arrived, Zhu Yan's army had the upper hand.

The reason for this situation is that Zhang Chengwang can send troops from the city to launch death charges again and again without hesitation, which instead caused huge casualties to the Boan army.

This is understandable. After all, Zhang Chengwang estimated that he did not conceal the fact that the food is about to run out. The soldiers of the Zhu Yan Empire are now a mourning soldier. There is no way out, and if they don't work hard, they can only wait for death.

On the other hand, the Bo’an army, discerning people can see who has the upper hand now. They only need to trap Zhu Yan's army in the city and wait until the opponent's food and grass are exhausted. They can almost take it without a single soldier. enemy.

That being the case, how can there be any motivation to fight?

It's not difficult to understand the situation at hand when one goes up and down.

Nowadays, the most important thing is to delay more time before the reinforcements arrive, so as to turn the tide of the battle.

And the siege war proposed by Hua Lao can solve this problem.

Zhu Yan's army did not set up another military camp outside the city. Instead, relying on the thick walls of the city, they used Bo'an City as a stronghold.

This is of course true. With Boan City in, Zhang Chengwang has no worries at all. He only needs to send troops to attack the enemy, and he doesn't need to think too much about being attacked.

This is actually why Hua Lao proposed to attack Bo'an City.

What he wanted was not to really take Bo'an City ~lightnovelpub.net~ but to seize the initiative and prevent Zhang Chengwang from being too comfortable.

The army crushes the city, are you not defending Zhang Chengwangshou?

If you want to defend, then you can use your energy to deploy city defense, and the frequency of death-style charges will have to be greatly reduced.

Do not keep?

If you don't guard, continue to send troops out of the city to try.

The army is guarding you outside, come one to kill one, come two to kill a pair, it is impossible to organize an effective charge like before.

Before, because he was afraid that Zhang Chengwang would find the army outside the city as soon as he entered Bo'an City, the general camp was built dozens of miles away, but it gave Zhang Chengwang a great buffer.

Siege is just an argument. According to Hua Lao, what we have to do now is to press on and block Zhang Chengwang's activity space step by step to prevent him from occupying the initiative on the battlefield. This is the main goal.

Zheng Yuanyun let out a heavy breath, "Then... Mr. Yihua meant it."
