The Era of Generals

Chapter 377   Ten Thousand Bones Withered

"Very clever tactic!"

On the other side of Ketan City, Chen Ze admired it sincerely.

After Zhang Hualin solved the problem at the embankment, he rushed back to the main battlefield without stopping, but at this time he was hanging far away from the periphery. It was obviously not easy to sneak into Zheng Yuanyun's side again, so he simply hid in the On the periphery, they focused on live broadcasting for Chen Ze.

As for the order to give up throwing stones and choose bows and arrows, in the eyes of Ning Zhenggang's subordinates, this seemed to be an act of insanity, but in Chen Ze's eyes, he received a heartfelt praise from him.

Of course, Chen Ze knew exactly what Zheng Yuanyun was planning.

I have to say that although his bastard and cold-blooded tactics are cruel, they are very effective.

Just relying on his own unilateral efforts, there is still a long way to go to truly fill the river, and Zheng Yuanyun, who wants to save time, will naturally think of using the opponent's firepower to help him pave a road as soon as possible.

The coach of Xilong City obviously noticed this, so he abandoned the powerful trebuchet and replaced it with a bow and arrow.

Although Arrow Rain's attack power against the sword and shield players was insufficient, it was not enough to be ignored. At least it could make the sword and shield players stop charging and choose to defend.

There is a saying in the art of war, one vigorous effort, then decline, and three exhaustion.

In this world, there is probably no art of war that Chen Ze is familiar with, but Ning Zhenggang's order coincides with it.

The Qingyang army in the charge had to stop again and again because of the intensive arrow rain attack, and passively turned to a defensive posture, defending the next wave of arrow rain before charging, and was blocked by the arrow rain again.

Repeated this several times, although Ning Zhenggang could not completely prevent Qingyang's army from attacking his city wall, but in the process, he not only delayed the time, bought more preparation time for his side, but also made Qingyang under the city The soldiers were exhausted.

Every time from charge to passive defense, the physical strength that will be consumed will far exceed the sum of smooth conflicts all the way.

You must know that the sword and shield hand is the unit with the most outstanding defensive ability. In fact, the biggest display scene is as a barrier for your own attacking unit in positional warfare. This is the best choice.

And as an assault weapon?

The shield of the sword and shield hand is too heavy, it is not easy to run, let alone charge in one go?

The slow movement caused the sword and shield fighters to bear more artillery fire from the defensive city than other units suitable for assault and siege warfare, causing unnecessary losses.

In addition, every time the shield is raised is also a great test for the physical strength of the sword and shield hand. If they raise the shield several times and then withdraw the shield, even if they can still rush to the city wall, what will happen next?

Do you still have the strength to attack the city?

I'm afraid there are not many?

And what Ning Zhenggang was restricting was not only the sword and shield fighters charging ahead, but even the siege troops behind the troops.

These people are stronger than the load of the sword and shield hand. Although they didn't lift the shield, the weight of the ladder and the wood on their shoulders is still heavier than the shield.

As soon as they rush and stop in front, they naturally have to stop and go in the rear accordingly. In this way, the consumption will naturally not be less.

The power of a bow and arrow does not have to penetrate directly into the enemy's body to be effective. Compared with the actual attack power, the deterrent effect of ten thousand arrows is more powerful.

This is the countermeasure that Ning Zhenggang came up with in an instant after a round of throwing stones was found to be inappropriate.

While watching the development of the situation, Chen Ze also simulated the battle situation in his mind, and found that the tactic to deal with the current situation is really the safest choice of Ning Zhenggang.

Let's see what Zheng Yuanyun will do now.

Chen Ze asked Zhang Hualin to cast his eyes on the Qingyang Empire, and then his brows sank.

What will Zheng Yuanyun do?

At the end of Zhang Hualin's line of sight, nothing seemed to have changed.

A large number of swordsmen and shields lined up on the river bank, waiting for the vacancy in front of them to fill in, and the siege soldiers at the end also had their upper bodies on the ladder, and they were also waiting for the result of rushing forward and then knotting.

With Zheng Yuanyun like this, nothing has changed!

Chen Ze didn't believe that Zheng Yuanyun couldn't see the opponent's purpose of changing the bow and arrow to defend. If he couldn't even see this, then he would be the coach of a province in vain!

But he didn't move. This is why Zheng Yuanyun felt that he could bear the loss right now!

Of course, "he" can bear it!

The person who died was a soldier of the Qingyang Empire, and it was also a soldier of the Qingyang Empire who lost his life and became a stepping stone for others, not Zheng Yuanyun himself.

These soldiers belonged to the Qingyang Empire, not to Zheng Yuanyun himself.

He just seconded so many people beyond his authority because of this fighter plane, and he had to return it to the Qingyang Empire Military Aircraft Department after it was used up.

Why not use it?

What's wrong with using other people's lives to perfect one's own glory?

The so-called ability to bear is nothing more than a pure loss of troops, just a number.

In Zheng Yuanyun's eyes, he probably didn't treat these soldiers as living, flesh-and-blood people.

That's why he didn't choose to give up and switch to other tactics.

That's right, from his standpoint, if he doesn't want to give up the plan to attack Xilong City and wants to race for time, keeping it as it is is the best choice.

The opponent stopped throwing stones, but it didn't mean that Zheng Yuanyun didn't have any "things" to fill up the river.

Isn't that the bodies of countless soldiers?

Isn't that the countless heavy shields that were thrown aside after the sword and shield hand fell?

Isn't this the same as making this bloody road through Xilong City wider and wider, filling it tighter and tighter?

One will succeed and ten thousand bones will dry up!

Zheng Yuanyun thinks he is that general!

All he wanted was his own success and fame. As for the stepping stones he stepped on, and let them howl in hell, what did Zheng Yuanyun have to do with him?

Everything just needs to achieve its own purpose.

Zheng Yuanyun's response to all changes with the same, expresses exactly this meaning outwardly.

Chen Ze also believes that he is not the only one who is aware of this, even in the army of the Qingyang Empire, there are probably many people who know the commander's intentions.

But so what?

They are all under the jurisdiction of Zheng Yuanyun. Could it be possible to impeach the coach because of the lives of some soldiers?

It's hard to say whether it will be possible at that time, but they have accepted the guilt of impeaching the coach before the battle!

Is it worth it?

If the matter didn't fall to him, then he just turned a blind eye and closed his eyes, there's no point in causing unnecessary trouble for himself.

And even if they wanted to make trouble, who would take the risk?

After all, people are selfish. There may be quite a few people who hold such thoughts, but most of them are just watching others and wanting to be the first to take the lead?

Forget it then.

What's more, although Zheng Yuanyun's tactics were cruel, once they succeeded, they would all have merit in battle, so why bother to make such a move?
