Chapter 953: Determination
, and it was rebuilt again, and all the siege equipment was burned, and most of the pebbles that could be found were taken back to the city for a while to defend the city.
Huang Yuchen was sitting quietly in the hall of the Martial Palace, and the generals of Mingyuan City were also in the hall.
This time, in addition to the six generals who controlled the entire army, several commanders with outstanding achievements were also invited in.
This time, these thousand men saw Huang Yuchen again and were much more respectful to him than before.
This young prince is more capable than he seems.
A Yifeng City can be taken down without any soldiers. No matter who it is put on, it is enough for others to worship.
Especially at this time when Qitian Fengyun suddenly changes, the city is the driving force of the power capital in hand. Without a city, there will be nothing.
Everyone knew this truth clearly, and of course, the generals of Mingyuan City also knew it.
They gathered in the Wufu to discuss the defensive battle in Yifeng City that they might face later.
According to information, the main force of the Xiwang Mansion may have more than 70,000 troops left, and the Zhangyang City defenders had 20,000, and the reinforcements could be dispatched.
The reason why Shi Fei was delayed for one day on the road was mainly to observe the movements of the defenders in Zhangyang City.
Shi Fei is not stupid either. In terms of command, he is still a general who knows some strategies. Before the army set off, he asked some troops to stay near Zhangyang City to pretend to be suspicious of the troops, delaying their reinforcements.
And this part of the troops was more than 700 personal soldiers of Chikang City who were brought back to Chikang City by Yin Cai.
Now, if the defenders of Zhangyang City come to rescue, I am afraid that the army will arrive at the city today.
Huang Yuchen was not afraid of the ten thousand defenders. What he was worried about was the return of the main force of the Western King's Mansion.
Although Yifeng City is like a chicken rib, it is a pity to abandon it when you eat it tastes boring, it is still a major transportation road. Even if the Xiwang Mansion doesn't want it, it will wipe out the city and pave the way for future actions.
But now, no one in the Mingyuan City Army knows the specific location where the main force of the Xiwang Mansion is going, and there is only one approximate direction.
Therefore, Yifeng City's defense must plan to the offensive direction of this defense of 80,000 people.
Thirty thousand to eighty thousand, although it was guarding the city, Huang Yuchen still felt that it was not safe in his heart.
"Today we call you to discuss the battle plan later." Huang Yuchen looked at the generals sitting below, his voice low.
This was his first solemn meeting of soldiers, and it was still a little awkward.
"According to your estimates, will the Zhangyang City defenders be dispatched?"
"It shouldn't be." Zhang Huaiyuan spoke first and said, "Zhangyang City has only 20,000 defenders, and it is difficult to defend the entire city. If they dispatch 10,000 people and ultimately cannot take down Yifeng City or defeat us, then Zhangyang City will be in danger."
"That is also based on the possibility of the main force of the Xiwang Mansion retreating." Gui Yongnian continued to whisper: "But according to my estimate, the Xiwang Mansion may not retreat."
"Why?" Huang Yuchen asked softly.
"From Yifeng City to the north, there are two major roads, one leading to the west, where has been completely occupied by the Xiwang Mansion. The specific situation is unknown, but to the south, it is a major road leading directly to Shangxin City. If the Xiwang Mansion can take Shangxin City, they will attack directly
The empire’s hinterland, you must know that the empire’s hinterland is much richer than the ones near Chihong Mountain.”
"Staff General Gui is right. If I were a general of the Western Prince's Mansion, I would have done this way." Another general said.
"This time, the Xiwangfu has drawn 70,000 troops near Chihong Mountain. I believe they are very profitable on the front line, otherwise they would not have drawn these new recruits with no combat experience."
"After taking down Shangxincheng, the troops of Xiwangfu will be replenished. The subsequent process will be smooth, many cities will be safe and have many towns and villages to quickly replenish troops."
Several generals said their thoughts one after another, and Huang Yuchen frowned slightly when he heard this.
The situation is still unknown, and this situation is what he most reluctant to see.
He now thought of Su Rong. If she and Jiying were still there and they would have no problem exploring the information outside.
Although there are living people around them, they are relatively small after all, and their speed is too far from the tolerance of the scattered lens, so they cannot quickly convey information.
Although Huang Yuchen can use the strange energy in his body to command these living beings and get their feedback, this method can only have simple communication and it is impossible to achieve a true telepathy transmission of thousands of miles.
"Then according to your ideas, the Western Prince's Mansion will not come back to capture Yifeng City?" Huang Yuchen asked as he turned his mind and followed the words of these generals.
"The subordinates guess that they may give up Yifeng City 70%." Zhang Huaiyuan said: "Yifeng City is a small city with no dangers around it. Only soldiers can be retained. Here it can only be completely consumed and no profit."
"We also advised Shi Fei to capture Zhangyang City first, but he said that if you take Yifeng City, Zhangyang City will be destroyed without attacking it, so it was not adopted." Gui Yongnian also said.
This is exactly what Huang Yuchen had guessed before. If it were him who made the plan, it would have been made like this. Compared with Yifeng City and Zhangyang City, Yifeng City will definitely be better to break through.
There are 20,000 defenders in Zhangyang City and tens of thousands of people. It will definitely be more troublesome to attack and the casualties will be greater.
As Shi Fei, who has only 40,000 people, he will definitely choose to chew better bones to chew, slowly strengthen his strength, and will definitely not easily confront a giant like the Western King's Mansion.
"Then isn't it meaningless for us to occupy Yifeng City now?" Huang Yuchen's face remained unmoved. Looking at the generals below, he could clearly feel that these generals seemed to be unwilling to defend Yifeng City at all.
"If we want to occupy this place for a long time, we must do logistical supplies." Gui Yongnian said: "The road from Mingyuan City to Yifeng City is rugged and it takes five days to pass. If we do this, we must also defend the possible blockades in Zhangyang City."
"If the food route is short, our Mingyuan City army will be trapped here, and there will be even fewer directions to choose from at that time." Zhang Huaiyuan said.
Huang Yuchen didn't say anything, his brows frowned slightly.
He had to admit that what Gui Yongnian and Zhang Huaiyuan said was nothing wrong.
Food routes are the most critical issue for the entire army.
When Mingyuan City went to war, he only had food and grass for fifteen days. It seems that Shi Fei did not intend to guard Yifeng City for a long time, but he just used this city as a temporary springboard.
