Just when the Macedonian army withdrew, and the Northwest Army of Guannei was galloping towards Moxi Pass, thousands of miles away at the border of the river valley corridor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the garrison mansion of Boulder Town, Yarok and Jose have been busy with a pot of porridge, and the cavalry sentries released a few days ago have returned to the city one after another, reporting the intelligence and news of the past few days to Alok. At this moment, the battle reports were like snowflakes, piled up in Aloke's office study.

Although Alok is a military general, his mind is also quite flexible, and through the amazing prediction ability and mind that Jose has shown in the past few days, he has completely trusted and relied on this Mr. Magician. Almost all matters are discussed with him, big or small, and José's ability to deal with problems is even more admirable to Aloke.

Although the nominal supreme commander of Boulder Town is Aloke, almost everything these days is discussed with Jose Gould and the others. Strangely, it was clear that a veteran like them was the governor of the town, but it vaguely seemed to have Joseph as the core.

However, Aroch and Gould are not very thoughtful people, and now it is important to solve the siege of Bouldertown. Through the intelligence gathering in the past few days, Jose gradually felt that his guess was becoming more and more likely. It wasn't until this morning, when the last of the cavalry sentries led by Martin rushed back to Boulder Town, that they finally brought back the exact news:

Last night, the Macedonian army really withdrew its camp! Because the news was so urgent, all the cavalry sentries were distributed around the Macedonian army, and they almost watched the withdrawal of the army with their own eyes, so they did not hesitate at all, and immediately the return of the starry night came.

This news immediately shocked Yarok and the others, if the main force of Macedonia no longer attacked Moxi Pass in the eastern part of the river valley, it was very likely that it would really have to withdraw! If this was the case, then the small Boulder Town would naturally become the first obstacle on the way for the army to get out of the river valley!

When Aloke heard this, his face immediately became a little ugly, and Gould's reaction was even more direct. The fat man thought for a moment, directly slapped his thigh, and said fiercely: "Since we can't hold it horizontally and vertically, it's better to draw out all our troops and fight with these damn Macedonians!"

José listened to the words of this fat man and rolled his eyes directly, but he couldn't help but feel a little complicated in his heart, next, what will the Macedonians do next?

If the army did come to the rescue, the three Macedonian corps would definitely join forces, after all, the looted goods would definitely be escorted away by the army. As soon as the Macedonians retreated, the Northwest Army would definitely pursue from the rear, so the main force of the Macedonian army would definitely be placed in the rear to block the attack of the Northwest Army!

The only advantage of Boulder Town was that it was far away from the Macedonian army, and this small city on the border of the river valley was originally a vast steppe all the way to the east. It was no longer the land of the Empire, but the territory of the steppes, and it would be even more difficult to pursue the Macedonians.

But if the town of Boulder still holds on, it will definitely encounter tens of thousands of Macedonian troops running over in turn! When the time comes, not to mention the people in this small city, even the city walls may be bulldozed!

Thinking of this, Qiao Se finally saw the current situation clearly, couldn't help but smile bitterly, looked at the two guys beside him and said: "The current situation is already very clear, if you want to defend the city, you must not be able to defend it, although the thousands of Macedonian troops in front of you are not easy to break the city, but since the main Macedonian forces outside Moxi Pass have withdrawn, presumably they are going to retreat!"

According to my estimates, at this moment, the two corps of the enemy-occupied area are probably also moving, plus Barcelus's Eighth Army is coming from outside Moxi Pass, and in no more than ten days at most, the Macedonian army will be under the city, and the town of Boulder will be ...... I'm afraid I can't hold it. ”

Although Alok and Gould also knew this in their hearts, their expressions suddenly darkened when they heard José say it.

"But don't be so negative, it's certain that Boulder Town can't hold it, my suggestion is to evacuate, there is only one way out at present!"

As soon as Joseph said this, Gould's face was a little ugly, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Lao Tzu doesn't leave, Lao Tzu is already a person who has lost the city once, and he will never lose it a second time! Even if he dies, he will only die with the people in this city!"

Yaroke's expression was solemn, and he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Our soldiers in the city are just to defend the city and protect the lives of the people in Moxi in the city, so we have to defend it to the death, if we evacuate, the tens of thousands of residents of this city will not be exposed to the butcher's knife of the Macedonians!"

Jose shook his head, with a hint of brightness in his eyes, glanced at them, and suddenly said in a shocking voice: "When I say evacuation, I naturally don't just mean the evacuation of the army...... If I can evacuate the people of Boulder Town safely, will you agree with my suggestion?!"

"Evacuate with the people?" both Alok and Gould looked surprised, and Gould shook his head and said, "Mr. Chaux, your idea is good, but it is too unrealistic. There are tens of thousands of residents in the city, and if so many people want to evacuate safely, it will definitely attract the attention of the Macedonian defenders on the opposite side, and if they take advantage of the chaos to attack the city, then the Boulder Town will definitely not be able to hold it!"

"If you can't hold it, then you won't keep it, as long as the soldiers and civilians in the city are evacuated, it's okay!" Joseph said nonchalantly.

Aloke's expression was grim, looking at Joseph's appearance, his heart suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but ask: "Listening to your tone, could it be that Master Jose has already thought of some way to allow the people of the city to evacuate safely?"

"Almost!" José nodded, then glanced at the two guys, their eyes were full of eagerness, and then smiled and said, "If this boulder town is defended, it must be difficult to defend, but if you want to retreat with all your might, you can't give it a try."

The key to the withdrawal of the army and civilians now is the Macedonian army on the opposite side, and if they withdraw rashly, they are afraid that they will attack and increase casualties, so they can only play some tricks! You think, if the main Macedonian force retreats, the Northwest Army in the pass will inevitably pursue, and these guys besieging us will definitely get the news.

But as for when the Northwest Army will arrive and how many people will arrive, then we can make some fuss about it. Gould, you'll ...... like this tomorrow."

Joseph then told the two of them about his plan, their eyes lit up after hearing this, and Gould patted his head and said, "Boss Jose, although your plan is a bit cunning, it has a high chance of success!"

Yarok also nodded, but then looked a little worried: "Even so, even if the residents of the city can be evacuated safely, but now there are Macedonian troops everywhere, and they have lost the shelter ......of the town, won't these people be reduced to exiles?

When Joseph heard this, he shook his head, and said with a bright gaze: "If a year ago, you were right. After the outbreak of war, if the people lose their towns and hometowns, and there is war outside the border, they will inevitably become homeless.

But now the situation is just the opposite, the Macedonian army is ready to withdraw, at this time there is no need to defend to the death, our troops are not stopping, even if we lose the city defense, as soon as the Macedonian army leaves, we can naturally come back again! We will not lose the city and die, we are just making the wisest choice, after all, there will be no dead people if we retreat, and it is really fools to blindly defend to the death......"
