Chapter 986: Take the initiative
“Who is Elina?”
Rehmannia immediately explained triumphantly: “Isn’t it just that beautiful foreign girl?”
Xiao Pan gloated at Dihuang: “That woman, my God! You still think of her as a human being. Her sapphire eyes are not normal at first sight. You haven’t noticed it yet. Even Lu Shuai keeps a distance from her. I didn’t expect it to be so powerful, could it be fake?”
“Forget it! The woman’s origin is unknown, so it’s better not to mess with it!”
“Cough…!” Lu Ziming coughed: “This matter is put aside, let’s talk about how to deal with the enemies of Jixiang?”
Lao He frowned as he looked at the picture of Jixiang and said, “The enemy is hiding in Jixiang. He must be hiding in the ruins. If the enemy’s situation is unknown, should you send someone to investigate first?”
“No, this will startle the snake, and Alina said that the enemy will launch an attack on Xincheng tomorrow. It is very likely that there will be a large-scale operation tonight. Sending people will only allow the enemy to act in advance.” Lu Ziming He immediately rejected Lao He’s opinion.
“Lu Shuai is right. The enemy and I are not clear. I don’t know how many troops the enemy has in Jixiang. Sending people will only stun the snakes.” Zhang Yechang pondered for a moment and said, “Didn’t Lu Shuai just say that? Liu Houxin arrived in Xincheng together. It is possible that the two assassinations were true, which means that the enemies hiding in Jixiang will launch a surprise attack after the assassination is successful. Now the assassination has failed. According to my guess, the number of enemies in Jixiang will not exceed Thirty thousand, if there are many enemies, why hide?”
Offense is the best defense method, but defense is always easier than offense, especially when the number of oneself is larger than the enemy, regardless of combat effectiveness, the defending party has a great advantage.
If Zhang Yechang’s speculation is correct, the number of enemies is far from what he imagined. This also proves from the side why the enemy hides under his nose and does not show up directly.
“It makes sense, keep talking!”
“If we put the whole thing together and look at it, we will find that it is not difficult to understand.” A sharp spark flashed in Zhang Yechang’s eyes, and his expression was a little excited: “We can roughly guess from the strength of Lu Tianxing’s hands at the beginning, When Lu Tian traveled to Jiutun, he was not ready for the war. He only found that Xincheng was weak and there were other forces that could be used to attack Xincheng. Liu Houxin’s situation was different, and he was getting Lu Tian. After the news of the defeat, on the one hand, he was prepared to continue to put pressure on Xincheng, and on the other hand, he was ready for war, but obviously if the negotiation fails, the time to go back and deploy troops is too late, so Jixiang’s enemy army arrived with Liu Houxin. Yes, even if the negotiation succeeds, this enemy army can quickly take over Xincheng. Xincheng will not even have the opportunity to repent. That is to say, regardless of whether the negotiation is successful or not, this army will be useful. 30,000 people will take over Xincheng. Although the number is a bit larger, it is very safe!”
“Why is it thirty thousand instead of fifty thousand, or seventy thousand? We all know that if we want to occupy Xincheng upright, it is not too much to send one hundred thousand. After all, the enemy is the offensive side, and we have a defensive advantage. However, we know that it took only ten days from Lu Tianxing’s defeat to Liu Houxin’s appearance in Xincheng. Excluding the time on the road, even if the Military Commission had prepared plans to deal with various crises in advance, the time to assemble the army would not exceed Five or six days, it is obviously impossible to assemble a large-scale army in such a short period of time…”
“Okay! Let’s look at the military commission intelligence collected through other forces. Five to six hundred thousand troops want to control more than a dozen bases. Each base requires an average of about 30,000. This is already the least defensive force. The military strength of the base will not exceed 100,000, and we know that the larger the base, the more troops are needed. Obviously there are not many troops of 100,000. If it is ours, how many troops can be mobilized?”
“If the army is dispatched from the main base of the Military Commission, and the time is so short, it is said that 30,000 troops is already the limit. It is not surprising that we look at the two attempted assassinations that Lu Shuai just said just now. It is precisely because of the military commission this time. The deployed army did not choose to fight head-on, but beheaded. It was only after the plan failed that it had no choice but to prepare to launch an attack on Xincheng.”
“Thirty thousand troops are no more, no less. No matter how few they are, they can’t form a deterrent to Xincheng. There is no doubt that the moths throw themselves into humiliation. That’s why they didn’t give up attacking Xincheng. This is my analysis of the enemy! ”
Xiao Cao immediately retorted: “Professor Zhang! Your analysis is very reasonable, but is there a little less than 30,000 enemy troops?”
Zhang Yechang nodded: “You’re right. The 30,000 troops are indeed a bit less. This is a result that the Military Commission did not expect when it was originally planned. But we have to see that if the assassination plan is successful, these 30,000 troops will be quite a lot. To deal with a group of dragons and headless Xincheng, 10,000 troops are enough. Besides, do you really think that 30,000 enemy troops cannot attack Xincheng?”
There are more than 30,000 troops in Xincheng, but most of them are newly reorganized troops, and their combat power will only be lower than that of 30,000 enemy troops. If you really fight head-on, you don’t know how long you can resist.
There is also a fatal problem. After all, 30,000 enemy troops came to the Military Commission. The civilians in Xincheng are attacking themselves by the army, but it is another matter to actually attack the military commission’s army. This is like the assailants shouting and fighting, but if you really rush to fight the criminals, you have to consider your own strength.
Li Juan is also not optimistic about this battle: “Even if there are only 30,000 enemy troops, Xincheng cannot be confronted head-on. We are unlikely to win this battle, Ziming! What do you think?”
Lu Ziming also had a headache. Although the number of enemy troops was less than expected, it was completely different from the enemies he had faced before. The enemy troops are all veterans who have experienced many battles, and their weapons and equipment are no worse than Xincheng. It is conceivable that the 30,000 regular army will fight 30,000 miscellaneous troops. This is a battle of unequal strength.
Fortunately, Xincheng is the defensive side, possessing the advantages of time, geography, and humanity. If it is really missing, it will immediately fail.
However, being passively beaten is very detrimental to Xincheng. If you are crushed and beaten by 30,000 enemy troops, first it will cause great damage to Xincheng, and secondly, over time, it is impossible for the Military Commission not to send troops again for reinforcements. At that time, Xincheng was really dangerous. NS.
“I think we should take the initiative in this battle. Before the enemy forces know that we have found their hiding place, first launch an offensive, disrupt the enemy’s deployment, and completely destroy the enemy in Jixiang!”
“Proactively attack! Our chance of winning in frontal combat is less than 30%. Without the cover of Xincheng fortifications, can we defeat 30,000 enemy troops?”
