" The art of war says that if you have ten enemies, surround them; if you have five, attack them; if you have twice the number of enemies, fight them; if you have less enemies, defend them; if you have less enemies, avoid them.”
"What this means is that if our strength is ten times that of the enemy, we will encircle and annihilate them; if our strength is five times that of the enemy, we will attack; if our strength is twice that of the enemy, we will try our best to defeat the enemy; if we are evenly matched, we will think of ways to defeat them one by one; if our strength is weaker than the enemy, we will avoid fighting.”
"Right now, there are sufficient soldiers and rations in Wild Jujube City. Although there are only 100,000 soldiers, with the advantage of the city walls and the Wei soldiers guarding it, it is likely that ordinary siege methods will not be effective.”
"In my opinion, we should take... A plan to lure the enemy out of the city."
The Lord of the Five Hundred spoke with assurance.
For those who didn't understand the art of war, they would naturally pretend to understand it. At the very least, it sounded very powerful. They couldn't help but nod.
However, as a boorish man who had been bombarded by modern information, even if he had not experienced the baptism of commanding a war, he could still pick out many loopholes.
In a situation where the enemy's numbers were clearly inferior to the Qin army, were they out of their minds to abandon the city and run out to fight you in the wild?
If the other party wanted to defend the city, even if you were the 'Crouching Dragon' Zhuge Liang, there was nothing you could do.
"Yes, you're right."
Commander Chen Xing said without any fluctuation in his expression.
He wasn't one of those easily fooled generals or station commanders. To be able to reach the position of 200 to 500 lords, he was at least a sixth level official doctor, or a seventh level official doctor. In a county city, he was also a county captain who was in charge of military power.
Those who could reach this position were generally not fools.
"Then, does anyone here have any other plans?”
“.......”
No one answered. They remained silent.
Boor wasn't good at making plans either. He wasn't cut out for that. Instead of thinking of his own plans, it would be better to recruit a counselor to save trouble.
After all, there were specialties in every field.
Forcefully letting a fierce general who charged into the battlefield to be a strategist, wouldn't that mess up the priorities?
However, Boor chose to remain silent, but Commander Chen Xing had no intention of letting him off.
He naturally maintained an equal attitude toward this famous warrior in the army and did not look down on him.
After all, it had only taken him a dozen days to grow from an ordinary Qin soldier to the current station commander. No one could predict how much he would achieve in the future.
Instead of forming a grudge now, it was better to form a good relationship in advance.
Moreover, everyone in the army knew that there was a brave warrior who took the initiative to share his credit with the soldiers who died in battle.
This 'loyalty' was enough for the Qin soldiers to be willing to follow in his footsteps and fight the enemy together. After all, even if they were unfortunately killed in battle, they would still be given some credit, so that their families would not have no one to rely on.
"Boor, what do you think?"
"Me?"
"That's right."
"Reporting to the commander, I'm just a villager. I'm not proficient in military strategy. It's too difficult for me to give advice.”
"It's fine. Just say what you think.”
"In my opinion…" Boor hesitated for a moment and said," The brave will win! He only needed to have a fearless heart and launch a fierce attack.”
Throughout China's 5,000 years of history, there was basically nothing they could do against enemies who only wanted to defend their cities.
They could either break through from the inside or use their military strength to crush them. There was no other way.
However, although the current Suanzao City had been besieged for more than ten days, the Wei generals in charge of guarding the city were not ordinary people. At least they knew how to defend the city.
At the same time, there were at least three to four months 'worth of rations in Wild Jujube City, which was enough for them to spend a lot of time here.
Perhaps, as long as they besieged the city for three to four months, Wild Jujube City would collapse on its own.
However, the Qin army had come from afar to fight. If they were to waste such a long time, the pressure on the logistics would undoubtedly be huge. Moreover, after being delayed for such a long time, when the Wei Kingdom reorganized their army and sent troops to help Suanzao City, it would instead cause the Qin army to fall into a situation where they were attacked from both sides.
"Good! Boor is right!"
"The art of war says that some soldiers are better than the court, some are better than the wilderness, and some are better than the market.”
"If you dare to fight, you will win. If you yield, you will lose!”
"I wonder who dares to be the vanguard and take the lead in attacking. After we take down Ziziander City, I will definitely promote him to a higher position!”
“........”
Commander Chen Xing slammed the table and stood up as he praised.
In a situation where there was no other way, he needed this kind of fighting spirit of 'the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road'. Only then could he motivate the soldiers to fight and display their strongest strength.
Moreover, if there was a sharp knife that could be firmly stabbed into the city wall, then the follow-up army could continuously surge up.
Perhaps, this could also be a way to break out of this situation.
Chen Xing's gaze slowly shifted to Boor's body.
