Zheng Yuanyun glanced at him but said nothing.

He knew what this subordinate was worried about.

Our own side was already at a military disadvantage, but Zheng Yuanyun's arrangement could be said to be comprehensive, further spreading out the troops.

There are only 200,000 troops on the front wall. Excluding the troops responsible for trebuchets and archers, there are actually less than 100,000 close combat troops used for melee combat.

The opponent has two million troops. If they attack a city wall, they can withstand the dual firepower of trebuchets and archers and force the attack. Then the time for hand-to-hand combat will be very short.

So, one hundred thousand people can attack one or two million people against each other?

And more importantly, Zheng Yuanyun's arrangement did not take into account the rotation of soldiers.

There are 200,000 people, all of whom are soldiers who enter the battle immediately. There is no problem in a short period of time, but once the battle time is extended, fatigue will inevitably appear.

In other words, the defenders will become less effective as they fight, and if the opponent's troops are sufficient, even if they are used up in wheel battles, Zheng Yuanyun's side will be exhausted.

Therefore, in the view of the lieutenant general, this method of troop deployment is actually not advisable.

Of course, it is impossible for the city gates on the left and right sides to be equipped with no troops at all, but is 150,000 too many?

In his opinion, it would actually be better to allocate 50,000 troops to each of them, which would only serve as a warning and a slight delay.

However, having said that, the lieutenant is not optimistic about this battle. It is true that Iai City is very strong, but the larger the city, the more troops need to be invested in defense. They only have 600,000 people.

That's it, it can't be completely defended.

He didn't understand why Master Zheng had to make arrangements in Iihe City, but the other party was the supreme commander after all. Since Zheng Yuanyun had given the order, he could only faithfully execute it, nothing more.

However, after such deployment, the disadvantages of insufficient troops became obvious.

As the garrison commander on top of the city, the deputy general thought it was necessary to tell Zheng Yuanyun about this.

Zheng Yuanyun was well aware of the other party's concerns, but until now, he had not disclosed the news of reinforcements.

Because Zheng Yuanyun himself also had concerns.

His journey in the province of Nantes, although the first half had been smooth sailing, actually he had always had the feeling that his marching arrangements and combat plans seemed to have been under the control of the opponent.

Why is this happening?

The word traitor has to be mentioned.

If no one informed the other party of his plans, Zheng Yuanyun could not figure out why the other party would know his overall plan.

This time is very important to him. Whether Ouyang Lixing comes to Ihe City to fight with him is directly related to whether he can take revenge, whether he can win the province of Nantes, and whether he can be promoted to the rank of national master.

The essential.

Therefore, the secrets that can be kept must be kept. What Ma Hui sent was the sounding arrow message. There are very few generals in the army who can really understand this message. In fact... that is, the ones who were with him in the city lord's palace before.

Those six cronies.

Zheng Yuanyun gathered the six people together. In addition to mobilizing before the battle to boost the morale of his close men, he also had the idea of ​​first controlling the six people who might have heard the news of the sounding arrow within his sight.

Since the six people have been with him, there is no possibility that they would leak this information. From the current point of view, although he does not know whether there is any problem with these six people, Ouyang Lixing's troops are coming in force.

This means that until now, the news that he has reinforcements has not reached the other party's ears.

Compared with the previous feeling of being seen through by the other party, Zheng Yuanyun now thought it was a normal situation.

So he wanted to keep it secret. What if the traitor was not one of the six people, but someone else? At the critical moment when Ouyang Lixing was about to come, once the information was leaked and Ouyang Lixing turned around and left, what would happen?

In this way, even though the generals continued to question his plan to defend Juhe City, Zheng Yuanyun still insisted on letting the troops stay here.

He doesn't need to explain now, his explanation will only be based on facts.

When Ouyang Lixing's army was defeated and their side marched straight in to capture the entire province of Nantes, all doubts were silenced.

When he made this arrangement, he did not deploy rotating soldiers, but devoted all his troops to it. In fact, he never thought that it would be a protracted war.

Ouyang Lixing was right to come first, but Zheng Yuanyun, who had been paying attention to the movements of both parties, also knew very well that although Ma Hui and the others would be slower, they would not be much slower. It would only take half a day at most to catch up.

arrive.

So he only had to hold on for half a day, until sunset, and once a large number of reinforcements arrived, it would be the end of Ouyang Lixing!

As for the one hundred thousand heavy cavalry, Zheng Yuanyun indeed arranged them at the rear gate.

If you want to bring out the combat power of this heavy cavalry, you have to launch a charge on plain terrain. In terms of defending a city, heavy cavalry is useless.

Of course, Zheng Yuanyun didn't want these 100,000 elite troops to abandon their horses and then take off their heavy armor and become ordinary members of the defenders. Isn't this a huge waste?

Arranged at the rear city gate, this is a sharp knife arranged by Zheng Yuanyun. After Ma Hui and others arrive, this unit will take the lead and break through the enemy's formation, which they still don't know why.

As long as Zheng Yuanyun knows this, he is not prepared to explain it to anyone.

Chong waved his hand to the deputy general to stop him from talking any more. Zheng Yuanyun also took over the command and inspected the city. The result satisfied him.

No matter how loud the doubts in the army were, his orders were still faithfully implemented, and all arrangements on the city were carried out according to his deployment.

Now, everything is ready, just waiting for Ouyang Lixing to come over!

He picked up the observation glass and took another look, then was stunned for a moment and threw the observation glass aside with a sneer.

Where is the need for a lookout?

During the time he was patrolling the city, Ouyang Lixing's mighty army was already visible to the naked eye.

Woo——

The warning horn has sounded, and the city suddenly became tense. The soldiers each entered their positions. The trebuchet troops had already been loaded, and the archers' feet were filled with arrows. Iai City's huge material reserves were there.

This moment plays out vividly.

Let’s not talk about the disadvantages of weak military strength, but in terms of strategic configuration, Zheng Yuanyun’s side is not inferior to Ouyang Lixing’s troops who came from afar, and is even better!

"Come on, this matter will finally come to an end!"
Chapter completed!
