Calm and calm.

As expected by Chen Ze, after receiving his massive withdrawal and abandoning the six cities along the way, Ouyang did not act lightly.

On the contrary, Chen Ze had an argument with everyone here.

The subject of the debate is whether they should retreat to Ketan City or start a defensive posture in Xilong City and use Xilong City as their frontline position.

It is undeniable that Xilong City is actually a city with a main city level. Although Zheng Yuanyun burned it on fire, most of the buildings in the city were well preserved. The only weakness was the lack of supplies.

But this problem can actually be realized by transporting grain from Ketan City.

In other words, Xilong City, which has solved the problem of material supply, can be used for defense with its strong city defense facilities.

In fact, even Chief Soldier Luo agreed with this game, and he also believed that there was no need to abandon Xilong City.

You must know that Xilong City was originally the main city of Nante Province, so in those days, it was naturally the first line of defense against Anluo Province. Furthermore, in terms of the geographical location of Xilong City, the moat If it were to attack from Anluo province, it would indeed be a great trouble.

In contrast, Ketan City.

No, even the three major cities of the province of Nantes actually have such a problem.

After the Nantes province had acquired a large amount of territories cut off by the Anluo province, these three main cities were built as the first line of defense against the Anluo province’s counterattack. It is also because of this that the city of Xilong gradually declined. .

As for why the Zhu Yan Empire had to build so many three main cities here, it was actually because of this geographical location.

Anluo province withdrew from a large area of ​​territory and chose Bo'an City, which is more conducive to defense, as a stronghold.

I have to say that this is a very smart choice.

Because the location of the three major cities in the past, Anluo province exposed too many flaws, and this was the opportunity for Nantes province to invade in one fell swoop.

Therefore, in order to fill these holes, the province of Nantes will simply construct three main cities in one go to block all these holes.

However, the construction of Nantes Province was naturally based on Anluo Province as an imaginary enemy. In other words, the so-called flaws were also from the perspective of Anluo Province, attacking from the outside to the inside.

As for from the inside out?

This possibility was hardly considered by the province of Nantes at the time.

Imagine that the enemy can actually counterattack the three major cities from within the Nantes province. Doesn't that mean that the entire Nantes province has already fallen, so what is the point of holding on to these three main cities?

The enemy can appear in the province of Nantes and the three main cities are not broken. The only possibility is that there is a problem in the neighboring province.

For example, if the Fengqi province was breached and the enemy entered the Nantes province from Fengqi province, then this... can only be said to be a crime of non-war.

And when the line of sight turns to now.

Chen Ze’s decision was to stick to the three main cities, so wouldn’t it be contrary to the original idea of ​​the Nantes province. In this way, whether it is Ouyang Strictly or other generals of the Zhu Yan Empire, they want to counterattack the three main cities from the inside. The city is actually much easier than from the outside, that is, the direction of Anluo Province.

Of course, Xilong City actually also has such a problem.

The moat was always external. When Nantes Province was still the main city of Xilong City, the river did not know how much the Qingyang Empire suffered, and a large number of soldiers belonging to Anluo Province were buried here. For the soldiers in Anluo province, this river is simply a river of death.

So if Chen Ze and the others wanted to defend from West Long City, the enemies they needed to face were also from within the Nantes Province, and they were obviously running counter to the direction of the moat.

Naturally, Zongbing Luo and others could clearly see this.

But it was precisely because of this that it made them think that a stronghold should be established in Xilong City for a strong defense.

This is also the first time General Bing Luo has put forward opinions contrary to Chen Ze after entering the province of Nantes. Of course, as a promise to Chen Ze before, General Bing Luo did not forcefully demand that he must do so. It just put forward his own opinions.

A group of generals headed by General Luo believes that since the three major cities and Xilong City have exactly the same problems, they are both difficult to attack from the outside, but they can take advantage of the existence from the inside. So……

Why give up Xilong City and retreat to Ketan City?

In the eyes of Luo Zongbing and others, Xilong City can be used as a buffer, there is no need to give up at the very beginning, and another point is that if the Nantes province is to take Xilong City back, In the future, if the province of Anluo wanted to send troops to attack the province of Nantes, he had to face the river of death.

Undoubtedly, this loss of force will be huge, and maybe Anluo province will have no chance to invade Nantes province after this.

Chief Luo believed that since the difficulty of defending Xilong City is equal to the difficulty of defending Ketan City, why not try to defend Xilong City, in case it is defended?

As long as Xilong City can stand firm, the initiative will be in the Qingyang Empire from now on, regardless of offense or defense, it will take the lead.

And Chen Ze held different opinions on this, which was also the focus of the dispute between the two sides.

It is true that Zongbing Luo and others considered from the perspective of the empire that it would be better to guard Xilong City, but Chen Ze didn't think so.

First of all, Xilong City is the old capital city of Nantes Province. Although it has been declining right now, it was burned by Zheng Yuanyun, but Xilong City does not have much weight in the eyes of the people of Nantes Province. It will be too light.

Secondly ~lightnovelpub.net~ From a strategic point of view, what Luo Zongbing and others thought of, the Zhu Yan Empire can also think of.

Abandoning the three major cities is already a helpless move, and want them to give up Xilong City again?

Once West Long is lost, the province of Nantes is like a museum with an open door. Anyone who comes can enter the museum calmly, then plunder it again, or just stay there.

It can even be said that Xilong City is the bottom line of the Southern Special Province.

Xilong City is still there. No matter how bad the Nantes is, the land that once belonged to the Anluo province will be returned. If Xilong City cannot be preserved, then the entire Nantes will be attacked sooner or later.

Even if this time because of Zheng Yuanyun, the vitality of Anluo province is severely injured and temporarily loses the possibility of attacking the Nantes province again, but if the opponent holds the door, one day sooner or later, the Nantes province will face up again. The invasion of Anluo province.

This is something that no one from Nantes wants to see.

Therefore, if they stick to the city of Xilong, this will undoubtedly make the other party blow up their hair, but they will desperately send troops to recover the city of Xilong!
