Chapter 972 Chen Fang's Foresight

According to Chen Fang's arrangement, when Aleus bombarded the left camp of the Hecheng army with missiles, causing chaos and attracting the enemy's attention, Wen Ren led the cavalry into the periphery of the camp to disrupt.

After entering the enemy camp, Wenren and others threw plant bombs one after another, destroying many tents and killing hundreds of soldiers, and lucky enough to blow up a place where grain and grass were stored, and then Before attracting more people's attention, he whizzed by and retreated after taking advantage of it.

An officer hurried over with a group of soldiers. Seeing the ruined tents and the soldiers who were killed and maimed by the bombing, and seeing the destruction of the warehouse that had stored food and grass for 10,000 people for two days, he sent out angry expressions. cry.

The camp was burned, the soldiers were killed, it was nothing, and the food and grass were destroyed. This was even worse for the Hecheng army who had to live on austerity.

"Damn it, chase after me."

The officer gathered nearby soldiers and gathered more than 2,000 people to catch up with the troops led by Wenren who were leaving the barracks, trying to keep them behind, but because the soldiers were so hungry that they staggered, they finally failed to catch up. , can only watch the other party disappear into the night, but can't be furious.

After receiving the news that the rear battalion was attacked and some food and grass were destroyed, Heles was blown up and roared angrily at several high-ranking troops.

"Waste, a bunch of waste, why didn't people go out to patrol, don't know where we are now."

All the officers bowed their heads, slandering in their hearts.

Why didn't they send it, but the soldiers were so hungry that they were exhausted, and patrolling was just a show.

It was meal time again, how could those patrol soldiers pay attention to their duties, the patrols were all going around the camp, waiting for the meal, it would be a ghost to notice the enemy.

When they see it, they want to control it, but they can't control it. If they can control one, they can't control the others. After you leave, they will come back again, the same thing.

Even forcing those low-level officers to take care of it is useless. Those officers are all at the lowest level. They haven’t eaten for a day just like the soldiers.

Seeing the officers bowing their heads in silence, Heles didn't get angry, but he still forced himself to calm down.

"How much was lost?"

One officer replied in a cold sweat:

"My lord, a total of three food storage places were destroyed, almost three hundred tents were burned, and thirty-five hundred soldiers were killed or injured."

Three places of food and grass were destroyed, and food for almost 30,000 to 40,000 people a day, which made the food and grass insufficient.

After hearing the loss situation, Heles couldn't hold back his anger, and started cursing furiously. The scolding lasted for more than ten minutes, and all the officers almost bent their waists at right angles and nodded their heads on the ground.

After cursing for a long time, Heles stopped cursing, looked coldly at the senior officers present, and finally said a word.

"Listen to me, if the enemy attacks the camp and causes casualties next time, I will ask you, especially if I have seen the food and grass, and if there is any loss, I will stew you as food."

The officers promised yes, and then they all left to make arrangements under Heles' dismissal.

Heles rubbed his brows, regretting in his heart why he let the soldiers skip two meals in order to save a little food. As a result, he couldn't even take precautions when the opponent harassed him.

But fortunately, there are many soldiers on my side, and the other party dare not go too far, just harassing them. As long as they endure for a while and let the soldiers have enough food to gain strength, the other party will not be able to get away so easily when they come again.

Heles looked towards Xincheng, which was only a shadow in the night, and said bitterly: "Damn things, after tonight, I want you to see it tomorrow."

...

At the top of the new city wall, Chen Fang looked at the direction of the Hecheng army, saw the enemy camp gradually calming down, and said to Charming beside him:

"Are you saying that the commander-in-chief of the army is so stupid that he let the soldiers starve for a whole day, and then dared to camp here with us? Isn't that a crime?"

Charming and sweet smile, "It's silly."

Then she said: "But I don't understand. We all know that they are exhausted from hunger. Why don't we go out of the city to attack while they are camping? Isn't it very likely that we will directly destroy the opponent?"

"Wouldn't it be more troublesome to wait until the other party has eaten and drank enough?"

The Hecheng army has just arrived, and they will be exhausted from rushing on the road. In addition, they have not eaten two meals, and their combat effectiveness will decrease infinitely. Going up, even if you can't completely destroy the opponent, you can still cause unbearable losses to the opponent.

Chen Fang glanced at Mei Mei approvingly, she was very smart to think of this, and she was also very talented in fighting.

"You're right. At that time, if our entire army were to overwhelm 20,000 well-fed soldiers and fight against one hundred thousand soldiers who were hungry twice, we could indeed achieve considerable results. It's not impossible, but this kind of victory is not what I want." Chen Fang said with deep eyes.

Charming was very puzzled, she didn't understand what Chen Fang meant, in her opinion, it would be good if she could easily deal with the enemy.

"what do you want?"

Chen Fang didn't pretend to be profound, and directly expressed his thoughts.

"Number one, I want to reduce unnecessary casualties."

"Although the opponent's army is exhausted and hungry, it is not without the power to resist. Although we can gain great results by killing them, we will also suffer considerable losses."

"Our new city has very little population or army. Even if we lose only a thousand people under this base, that would be a considerable loss."

When Chen Fang said this, his heart ached when he thought of the death of Ole and the thousand-man awakened cavalry in the battle against the totem beastman.

"Second, I want to hone the army more."

"Crossing the enemy army at once is nothing more than a victory, which is of limited help to the growth of officers and soldiers."

"Only under constant pressure and real combat can a soldier become a veteran of all battles."

This seems to be contradictory to the first point, but it depends on the situation, such as defending the city, relying on a tall city wall to fight the enemy, the safety is greatly improved, and many casualties will be reduced. Enemy soldiers to grind.

"Third, I want the walls of the new city to be stained with blood. We need to experience the defense of the city so that we can have the experience to deal with the same situation that we may face in the future."

Everyone knows that no matter what, experience is very important. If there is an opportunity, Chen Fang does not want to let go of this opportunity to accumulate experience.

"Fourth, I also need more practice to practice what my ancestors have left in my mind."

"The last thing is to let you follow suit. I can't always rely on me to give ideas in the future."

"The above is what I want."

After Chen Fang finished speaking, he folded his arms and looked into the distance.

There are five points of intention, I really have good intentions.

Chen Fang was even moved by what he said just now.

After hearing Chen Fang's words, Charming looked at the man next to him in shock, and then felt obsessed.

"I really didn't expect you to think so much. We people are not as good as you."

The charm has to be admired.

They were all just looking at the present, but Chen Fang was indeed focused on the future.

This vision of taking one step and seeing three steps is unmatched.

Chen Fang was quite proud of being praised by a beautiful woman, but he also replied modestly:

"I am over-flattered."
