The Era of Generals

Who is this Chief Luo?

Chen Ze was sure that he had never seen him.

From the other party's clothes, he could only see the Qingyang badge, which was as high as the rank of the general soldier, other than that, he didn't even know which city the Luo general soldier belonged to.

In such a one-sided situation, and there was a precedent for a leader who fell from the horse, Chen Ze didn't really believe that this person dared to help at this time, just because the other party felt that what he said made sense.

So it's one thing to be grateful and quite another to hold back.

Naturally, as soon as he spoke, he first found a step for Zheng Yuanyun and others to go down, and then he expressed his thoughts.

Even so, Chen Ze's words still met with a lot of sneering sneers.

"The initiative is still in the hands of the opponent?"

"Ridiculous! Zhu Yan Empire should be passive now, right?"

"That's right, the Zhu Yan Empire has used such a large-scale military force but failed to achieve results. They are the ones who are caught in a dilemma right now!"

"Hey, this Counselor Chen still has a good mind, but his experience is a little less..."

Zheng Yuanyun, on the other hand, did not respond with a sneer like the others, but frowned slightly, stared at Chen Ze for a while with flickering eyes, and suddenly pressed down with one hand to stop the After the discussion, he said in a deep voice, "Go on!"

As soon as this remark came out, the hall became silent.

After Huang Zongbing was retired from the Qing Dynasty, these high-ranking generals belonging to the cities of Anluo Province almost all followed Zheng Yuanyun's lead. Those sarcasm words just now were nothing more than flattering Zheng Yuanyun.

However, Zheng Yuanyun seemed to agree with Chen Ze's statement as he continued, so unfortunately, the horse's leg was slapped by the flattery.

It's embarrassing!

In this delicate atmosphere, Chen Ze slowly said: "I say that the initiative is still in the hands of the Zhu Yan Empire, that's because the general situation has now come!"

After a pause, he looked at Zheng Yuanyun without hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "The so-called general trend is the general trend of the Zhu Yan Empire. In any case, the current situation in Bo'an City is also what the Zhu Yan Empire wants to see." Like that."

"As for the initiative..."

"Isn't it true that the Zhu Yan Empire retreats when it wants to retreat, and spends as much as it wants?"

"Even if it is a retreat, the other party has the final say. When and how to retreat, we don't have the slightest say!"

Having said that, his words gradually became sharper, and he glanced around the group of generals who were mocking him, "Aside from sitting in Bo'an City and watching, do we have any other choice?"

this……

As soon as this remark came out, the general who just laughed and said that he could make a cup of tea and smiled at the pitiful appearance of Zhu Yan's soldiers at the head of Bo'an City suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

In fact, what Chen Ze said and what they said were basically the same thing, but they looked at the problem from a different angle.

What they saw was the failure of the Zhu Yan Empire's ambush technique, and it was only a matter of time before they retreated.

There is no problem with this, but what else?

Bo'an City doesn't have the slightest ability to promote this matter.

If the Zhu Yan Empire wants to retreat, it still depends on the opponent's own will. What can Bo'an City do?

Send troops out to fight?

The current situation is that whoever fights first will be at a disadvantage.

The Zhuyan Empire wanted to lead troops to attack the city. With the strong defense of the city, the Zhuyan Empire would be at a disadvantage, and the loss of troops was much higher than that of Bo'an City.

But at the same time, if Zheng Yuanyun wants to send troops to attack, given the funnel-like terrain of Bo'an City, the total number of troops that can fight the Zhu Yan Empire head-on on some battlefields will be far lower than the opponent's. The downside.

So not moving is the safest thing, but not moving, isn't it just giving up the initiative to the enemy?

"But so what?"

The one who couldn't hold back couldn't help but counterattacked: "Even if the initiative to retreat lies with the Zhu Yan Empire, what does this mean?"

"Retire early and retreat late, we have to retreat. We can defend Bo'an City without a single soldier, so why risk our lives?"

He snorted angrily, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said disdainfully, "How many battles have you fought, you brat?"

"How many dead people have you seen?"

"Why do you have to do something when you can sit back and enjoy it?"

Hearing this, Chen Ze turned around slightly, looked at the logo on his armor, and knew that he was the city lord of Qiu Dingcheng, so he immediately said: "If you can really enjoy the benefits, you really don't need to do anything."

"Then, what if the Zhuyan Empire doesn't retreat?"

he asked rhetorically.

"No retreat?"

City Lord Qiu Ding snorted coldly, "That's hard work!"

"His Nantes Province is a province, but my Anluo Province is not?"

"Wars are fought for resources. We are defending the city anyway, and we have an advantage in occupying the land. Are we afraid that they will fail?"

Chen Ze shook his head and disagreed, saying: "First of all, if it is exhausted, it will take a long time, and there are too many variables in it, so it should not be the first choice for tactics."

"Secondly, why did the Zhu Yan Empire choose to spend their lives here?"

Without waiting for City Lord Qiu Ding to speak again, he spoke very fast again: "My lords, I just said it below. You have preconceived ideas of defending Bo'an City, so you will inevitably be restrained in your actions."

"That's right, as the defenders of the city, the geographical advantage is our advantage, but at the same time, we also lose the time and harmony!"

"The so-called time, the initiative to attack or retreat is in the hands of others; besides the harmony of people, how long has it been since Bo'an City received definite information from Zhu Yan's army outside?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked around in a daze, and finally their eyes fell on Zheng Yuanyun's face.

"The scouts sent out are indeed coming back less and less."

Zheng Yuanyun didn't shy away from it, and nodded directly in response: "Since the Zhu Yan Empire increased its troops to one and a half million, it has thoroughly investigated all the places that are easy to hide, and most of the scouts sent out were found, so later Simply don’t send anyone.”

If you don't send people out and don't have the support of the intelligence system, as Chen Ze said, you haven't lost your harmony?

However, Zheng Yuanyun's move cannot be wrong.

After all, they are the defenders of the city. Standing on the top of the city and looking around, they can see everything within a few miles. If there is a large-scale enemy attack, they can still take precautions in advance. It doesn't matter whether they send scouts or not.

Chen Ze didn't express his opinion on Zheng Yuanyun's words, but went on to say: "Marching and fighting pay attention to the right time, place and people. Now we only occupy the right place but lost the right time and people. We can be said to be at a disadvantage. In addition, I dare to ask A sentence, my lords..."

"Although we know that the Zhu Yan Empire's ambush technique failed, who of you would dare to withdraw your troops from Bo'an City at this time?"

Withdraw from Bo'an?

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
