Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1971: Terror of the Saint, Two Disagreements
"Your Majesty, the news has arrived!"

"The Tongcheng granary has been successfully set on fire. Even if we can't burn all the grain in Tongcheng, we can at least burn most of it!"

In the darkness of night, Chen Pingping, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed directly to Wang Yu and reported with a smile on his face.

There was such a big move today, and the soldiers were also coordinating to launch a feint attack.

Therefore, even though it was late, Wang Yu still hadn't rested. In fact, many important figures in the camp gathered with him at this time, waiting for news from the city.

Will the operation in the city be successful? The answer to this question not only tugs at Wang Yu's heart, but also tugs at the heart of everyone present.

"Okay! Well done!"

Wang Yu was so excited that he even stood up.

Seeing Chen Pingping's thin figure in the night, he considerately asked someone to bring a blanket and personally covered Chen Pingping with it.

Even if this fire did not burn all the food and grass in the city, even if it only burned most of it, it would be enough to burn away the enemy's courage and will, and burn away the enemy's war potential.

After this fire, the time they needed to continue besieging the city was reduced by half.

"My dear, you are a pillar of the country. It's cold at night and you have to take good care of yourself!" Wang Yu said, holding Chen Pingping's hand.

I believe there is no boss who would not like such a capable subordinate!

"Your Majesty! Besides this, there is another piece of good news!" Feeling the emperor's attention, Chen Pingping, the conspirator, felt warm in his heart.

Although Chen Pingping is a typical conspirator who will do anything to achieve his goals, behind his ruthlessness and cruelty, he is actually an extremely affectionate and loyal person with the heroic spirit of a gangster.

It was only because Ye Qingmei did not discriminate against him as a eunuch in his early years and showed respect for him, that from then on, Fan Xian gained an advantage and even secretly started a crazy revenge against Emperor Qing.

I have to say that this is indeed an extremely contradictory character.

"Oh, my dear, please tell me!"

At this time, Wang Yu's curiosity was also piqued.

The more important things are, the more they are usually discussed later!
However, Chen Pingping told the so-called good news after the fire. So, I am afraid that this good news must have given him a big surprise.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Dugu and Mr. Huang have successfully killed the enemy's main general Gao Huan!" Chen Pingping straightened his robe, raised his arms, and reported very seriously. However, anyone could hear the joy beneath the seriousness.

"what!"

"Gao Huan is dead!"

For a moment, several generals, led by Guo Ziyi, were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths before receiving the news. Some of the more excited ones even jumped up.

Even Zhang Liang and Zhang Bin, who were relatively calm, showed a hint of shock at this moment.

Chen Pingping's plan for Gao Huan was not revealed in the slightest even to Wang Yu, let alone to others.

"Okay! Good job!"

"If we capture Tongcheng, you will be the first to achieve the credit!" Wang Yu said without any reservation in his praise.

Whether in the history of Apocalypse or in the history of Blue Star, there are definitely only a handful of people who can directly kill the opponent's main general.

After all, as the most important person in the entire army, his protection must be the top priority of the entire army.

This time, it was also because of the fire in the granary, and Chen Pingping sent a group of people to carry out the first round of assassinations to cover the second attack, which allowed Gao Huan to transfer the masters around him.

If Gao Huan were to change to any other position, it would be impossible for him to move the most important protective force around him to other places.

Moreover, because of the first round of assassinations, Gao Huan was too hasty to think carefully and never imagined that this wave of assassinations was just a cover. The real highlight was the second wave of assassinations, or to be more precise, it was a forced killing.

After all, Huang Lao Mo and his men showed up in broad daylight, they didn't just suddenly attack.

"Your Majesty, I request that I lead the army to attack the city tomorrow and capture Tongcheng!" Guo Ziyi strode out and said.

The enemy's main general was killed, and now they had lost their backbone, which was the best opportunity to break into the city.

"Not appropriate!" Zhang Liang stepped forward to stop it.

"Ding, Zhang Liang's Strategy Skill is activated.
Sage of Strategy: A sage of strategy throughout the ages, with unparalleled wisdom and strategies, this is Zhang Liang’s exclusive skill.

Effect 2: When you plot against others, you can lower the intelligence of the other party unintentionally. When this effect is activated on a single person, the intelligence of the other party will be lowered by 6 to 1 points; when this effect is activated on a group of opponents, the intelligence of the other party will be lowered by 4 to points.

Effect 1: When making plans, increase your intelligence by 3 to points.

Effect three: When the intelligence attribute is affected by the negative skill effects of others, it can be transferred to other attributes of the individual at the cost of double the effect.

Effect 4: When serving as a military advisor, the commander's command value or intelligence value will be increased to a certain extent according to the commander's command and intelligence. If the commander does not have any attribute that reaches the god level, there is a high probability that both the commander's command value and intelligence value will be increased at the same time.

Effect 3: If the opponent's intelligence is 3 or more points lower than your own, if the opponent has the effect of all magic, there is a high probability that the first effect of immunity will be applied to the intelligence attribute value and other attribute values ​​other than the main attribute value. "

To be honest, judging from the amplification effect on one's own attributes, the effect of Zhang Liang's strategist skill is average and not a very outstanding one.

However, the other effects of this skill are quite powerful. In addition to suppressing the intelligence attribute of a single person when calculating, it will also cause a range of intelligence reduction effects when calculating the enemy group.

A wide range attack that reduces intelligence can even be said to be a very strategic effect. Combined with Zhang Liang's extremely high basic intelligence, even if Zhang Liang's amplification effect on himself is a little weaker, it is not a big problem.

After all, Zhang Liang's basic attribute values ​​are high enough, even if his own increase is less, it is not comparable to others. Moreover, as long as the suppression is strong enough, the gap may be even greater. The third effect of the Strategy Saint skill is almost equivalent to giving Zhang Liang a Wanfa effect, although it is only on intelligence, it will also cause greater negative effects on his other attributes.

However, this was not a problem at all. After all, for Zhang Liang, in a sense, it was enough to ensure intelligence.

As for the other items besides intelligence, no matter adding or subtracting a few points, it has no effect on Zhang Liang.

Effect 4 is a standard military strategist skill that can enhance the main general. Whether it is the increase in command value or the increase in intelligence value, it is of great help to a main general in the war. This skill effect can be said to be a good use of the best steel.

Effect 5 even ignores the opponent's magic effect in a certain sense. Especially when facing a commander like Xiang Yu, he is a natural nemesis.

"Ding, the second effect of Zhang Liang's Strategy Skill is activated. When making plans, his intelligence value will be increased by 1 to 3 points. Zhang Liang's current intelligence value is +2, the basic intelligence is 104, and the current intelligence rises to 106."

"Your Majesty, Tongcheng is now in your hands! None of the generals in the city are qualified to lead the entire army!"

"Why not follow General Pengju's strategy, surround the point and attack the reinforcements, and capture Zhongcang's troops in one fell swoop!" Zhang Liang said slowly.

If we say that at the beginning, Yue Fei's idea of ​​besieging Zhongcang and attacking the reinforcements was not only to defeat the reinforcements that might arrive in Zhongcang, but also to annihilate the hundreds of thousands of troops in Tongcheng, whether it was Wang Yu, Zhang Liang, Zhang Bin, or some generals represented by Guo Ziyi, they all had some doubts about Yue Fei's approval of this idea.

Even for Yue Fei himself, when he proposed this plan, he imagined that this was just the most perfect state, but in reality, the probability of success was not high.

However, in Yue Fei's plan, the worst-case scenario was to force out the usual troops, let them leave this turtle shell, and cooperate with the arriving Zhongcang reinforcements and the main force of the Han army to fight a decisive battle.

Just as Guo Ziyi said before, in a field battle, the Han army is not afraid of Zhongcang, even if other delaying troops from Zhongcang arrive, the same will remain true.

The reason why Yue Fei put forward his plan in the most ideal state is just an art of language.

Therefore, while letting Yue Fei capture the surrounding cities and turn Tongcheng into an isolated city, Wang Yu also wanted to burn the enemy's food and grass. If possible, he wanted to create a food crisis for the enemy before the rest of the enemy's reinforcements arrived, forcing the enemy to fight.

In this way, the strategic goal of dividing and annihilating the main forces of Zhongcang can be achieved.

These two strategies are completely different, but they do not affect each other. Let us implement them together for the time being.

However, no one had expected that Chen Pingping would do such a great job and exceed the task target.

Not only did they burn a large amount of the enemy's food and fodder, but they also took away Gao Huan, the main general in the city.

If the enemy loses their main general in the city, they will surely be in panic.

More importantly, without Gao Huan, none of the remaining generals in the city would be qualified to lead the rest.

In theory, Bu Fei is absolutely qualified. His qualifications and prestige are far beyond even Gao Huan's.

However, he has been defeated in battles recently, and was demoted to the bottom by Huangfu Guyuan in one breath. Now, it is not so easy for him to control the generals.

After all, compared to him who had suffered several consecutive defeats recently, the performances of the other generals were not amazing, but they could definitely be said to be average.

Both of them were stationed in a city, but Bu Fei was defeated by Yue Fei with 3,000 soldiers and horses. Although Hulug Qiangju also lost the city, he at least kept all the soldiers and horses intact and retained the main force to return.

Not to mention Gao Changgong, who, though young, performed the best among all the generals in Tongcheng. When the main force of the Han army arrived at Tongcheng, he took advantage of the fact that the Han army had not yet gained a firm foothold and led 500 cavalrymen to launch a sudden attack, killing more than a hundred people and returning.

In the subsequent night raids, they also made many achievements. Even if they did not gain much, at least they were able to save themselves.

Unlike some generals who were sent by Gao Huan to launch night attacks, not only did they fail, but they also lost their lives.

However, whether it is Hulu Qiangju or Gao Changgong, they all have little experience in Zhongcang and do not have the prestige to suppress the other generals.

Therefore, no matter which general led the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Tongcheng, it would be impossible for them to be united and make everyone convinced.

This is absolutely a taboo during a war.

Therefore, due to various reasons, the threat posed by the troops in the city to them was reduced by at least 40%.

In this way, the possibility of successful implementation of Yue Fei's plan would be greatly increased.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, ten birds in the bush are worth a bird in the hand!"

"Are there still 140,000 soldiers and horses in Tongcheng?"

Although Zhang Bin did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that he still mostly opposed it.

Let me put it this way, there are only 150,000 soldiers and horses in Wang Yu’s camp now.

The reason why Gao Huan did not act rashly before was not only because of the 150,000 soldiers in Wang Yu's camp, but also because Yue Fei still had 80,000 soldiers in his hands, firmly controlling the dozen small towns around Tongcheng, trapping Gao Huan in the center like a cage.

Once the enemy reinforcements arrive, Yue Fei's troops who are used as cages in the surrounding area will definitely have no time to take care of other things.

At that time, they would naturally not be afraid of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city.

However, with 150,000 soldiers surrounding 140,000 soldiers, isn’t their encirclement too weak compared to the enemy?
Even if the enemy's combat effectiveness will be greatly damaged due to this incident, and they may not even be united internally, but if there is a mistake in any link, there is still a chance that the enemy's main force will break through!

Therefore, in Zhang Bin's view, this is still something that needs to be decided carefully.

Zhang Liang and Zhang Bin have different ideas. It cannot be said that one is right and the other is wrong. It can only be said that each of them has his own ideas and considerations.

Of these two people, the former pursues the maximization of benefits, but the risk involved is relatively high. As for the latter, he believes that stability is required. Although the benefits are relatively small, the risks are also much smaller. At least, the hundreds of thousands of troops in Tongcheng have almost broken even.
