Chapter 1177: Retreat?

"Abandon Yongzhong City? Why did Feng Xiao say this? ”

As soon as Shang Ji arrived in Yongzhong City, Guo Jia, who came one step earlier than Shang Ji, admonished Shang Ji and suggested giving up Yongzhong City!

However, this suggestion was opposed by most people, and even Shang Ji was not quite able to accept it.

Yeongchungseong's predecessor was Seoul, which was a real royal city, and later after several wars, Yeongchungseong had a tendency to be downgraded, but it was still one of the top cities.

Shang Ji ruled billions of people and tens of thousands of territories, but there were only seven cities of this level, and the impact of the fall of any king-level city was difficult to estimate!

"It was the lord's subordinates who suggested that Yeongchung City be abandoned and fully evacuated to Huaien City (Pyongyang). Not only that, but the subordinates also suggested that all areas east of Wynne City should be abandoned for the time being. ”

In the meeting hall of Yongzhong City, Guo Jia solemnly suggested.

"Strategist, do you know what you're talking about?"

Before Shang Ji could speak, Zhang He took the lead in questioning. Zhang He served as the garrison of Chenzhou for a long time, and he had the deepest feelings for Chenzhou, and when he heard Guo Jia open his mouth, he gave up half of Chenzhou's territory, and Zhang He immediately couldn't accept it.

Although the other generals did not speak, they also looked at Guo Jia with a blank face, obviously not agreeing with his suggestion.

The people present are all the core generals of the Shang Army, with brilliant records, and now they have been knocked out by the joint efforts of Yamatai and Poseidon, and they are already furious, and it is already a rare forbearance to not immediately lead the army to counterattack, and now they have to give up the territory on a large scale, what kind of humiliation is this?

If it weren't for Guo Jia's deep trust in Shangji, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as a dull face at this time.

Guo Jia was not frightened by the unkind eyes around him, smiled faintly, and said loudly: "Generals, don't you think that it is a very stupid thing to confront the enemy in Yongzhong City when the enemy army has the advantage of the sea?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Ling Cao couldn't help it, and got up directly and said, "Lord Qiqi, the sailors are going up and down to fight." As long as the lord allows it, the last general will have the confidence to suppress the enemy's sailors. ”

"It's not easy for the sailor to move lightly for the time being, and Degao is not impatient."

Shang Ji waved his hand and motioned for Ling Cao to sit down.

At present, Shang Ji's understanding of the Poseidon and Yamatai naval forces is still limited to the tip of the iceberg, and it is absolutely impossible to allow the naval division to dispatch on a large scale when the enemy situation is unknown.

The Navy Division is different from the Army, as long as there are people, the Army is easy to train, but once the Navy Division battleship is sunk, it will not be able to be rebuilt for a while.

A wave-breaking main building ship, even at any cost, will take more than half a year in terms of the wartime construction period, and with the rhythm of the war, half a year is even enough for the Evil Matai coalition forces to fight to Xiangping!

Of course, not fighting for the time being does not mean that the sailors are useless. As long as the naval division still exists, it will be a huge deterrent to the enemy army, and the Yamatai coalition army has not yet relied on the large-scale coastal landing of the naval division, which is to fear the naval strength of the Shang Ji army.

"Yongzhong City is not far from the sea, and there is a big river around it that goes directly to the city. The Yamatai forces don't matter first, but the closer the Poseidon forces are to the waters, the stronger their combat effectiveness becomes, which has long been confirmed.

The dense network of rivers in the area east of Yongzhong City is very conducive to the play of Poseidon's army, and continuing to hold Yongzhong City in this situation is tantamount to attacking the enemy's strength with his own shortcomings, which is not the work of a wise man. ”

Guo Jia shook the feather fan and said quietly.

Shang Ji turned his head to look at Liu Yi and asked, "Is what Feng Xiao said true?" ”

Liu Yi got up and said, "Lord Qiqi, this is indeed the case. Taking Poseidon's main Sea Fighter Legion as an example, in a place close to the water, with the same strength, only a small number of the top-ranked main legions can compete with it. As for defeating ......"

After a pause, Liu Yi added, "I'm afraid that only the Praetorian Legion can defeat the Sea Fighter Legion of the same strength head-on in an unfavorable environment. ”

Shang Ji's brows immediately furrowed when he heard this, he had considered the impact of the environment on the army, but he never expected the impact to be so strong. If that's the case, I'm afraid it's really not a smart move to continue to hold on to the area east of Yongzhong City.

However, Shang Ji will not be able to make a decision to abandon the eastern region of Chenzhou for a while. He not only needs to consider military factors, but also politics, and will abandoning the eastern part of Chenzhou cause a chain reaction?

Will Chenzhou players, who have basically given up resistance, take the opportunity to engage in moths?

Will Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes take advantage of the situation to launch an attack on Qingzhou, Youzhou and other places?

More importantly, how much advantage can the abandonment of the eastern region bring to the Shang army? Can this advantage make up for the losses?

"My lord, my subordinates agree with Feng Xiao's suggestion, abandon Yongzhong City, shrink their forces to the west, lure the enemy deep, and then surround and annihilate it."

Soon, Guo Jia's supporters appeared, and they were also heavyweights - Xi Zhicai, the chief military advisor of the Shang Ji Army.

"My lord, my subordinates are against it. Before this battle is fought, we will withdraw, how will the heroes of the world think of us? What will the officers and men of the army think? Please consider carefully! ”

Tai Shici immediately stood up and clearly expressed his opposition.

Soon, more and more people were voicing, and the crowd was divided into two rows to state their opinions to each other. Among them, the main strategists who supported the abandonment of the shrinking forces in the eastern region were Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Chen Guan, etc., while most of the army generals were opposed, and only Liu Yi, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun and others were silent.

Looking at the two groups of people who were caught in the dispute, Shang Ji also had a headache. Reason told him that it was a wise choice to follow Guo Jia's advice and shrink his strength, but he didn't want to do it emotionally.

"Report, enlighten the lord, the enemy army has begun to attack the city again and the momentum is huge, General Gao Xiang asks the lord to send troops to support."

At this moment, another herald suddenly rushed into the hall and announced to Shang Ji.

"Oh? The enemy is attacking again? It just so happened that Ben wanted to see with his own eyes how arrogant this enemy army really was! ”

Shang Ji Huo Ran got up and strode out of the conference hall.

The two sides of the argument looked at each other, then got up to follow.

The crowd soon came to the city wall, and at this time the enemy army had begun to attack, and Gao Xiang was directing the army to defend on the city wall.

The attack is the same as before, and the cannon fodder fish monster is still used as a consumable to consume the defensive materials of the merchant army.

I saw a large number of fish monsters rushing overwhelmingly, and the ground outside the city was dyed green, and the bows and crossbows, torch stone carts, magic cannons, and divine arrows (Lee's Korean characteristic defense equipment) on the city wall kept counterattacking, easily reaping the lives of the fish monsters.

In the ocean-like green, there was a touch of bright red galloping in the green ocean, Shang Ji was stunned for a moment, looked at it, and found that it was Shura Wei who was fighting with the fish monster outside the city!

No, this battle is not a fight at all, it is more appropriate to say slaughter.

The official members of the Shura Wei have a minimum of seven orders, and the combat power of the fish monsters is not even the second order, the difference in combat power between the two sides cannot be made up by the number at all, any Shura Wei can take the lives of more than ten fish monsters with a slight wave of his hand!
