Everyone's faces were much better, what happened just now really made them almost riot, although the strong man was also a general, but everyone knew that he was more of a bodyguard, and they were frightened by this kind of person, and they also felt faceless on their faces, and now when they heard Cheng Dan say this, they felt a lot more comfortable.

Although the four cities are an alliance, they are not without competition, and all the generals here represent the face of their own forces, but the main force of this alliance is the most powerful Qingniucheng, and Cheng Dan is the deputy city lord of Qingniucheng, the younger brother of the city lord, and he has to suppress other generals in terms of identity.

"I think you should be quite clear about the defensive strength of those border towns, so I don't need to say more, but do you know how many soldiers and horses these places have been occupied?"

Cheng Dan said with a heavy face.

"That's not less than 50,000!"

Someone speculated.

"Well, elite soldiers and horses need 50,000, if it is an ordinary soldier, I am afraid that it is impossible without 100,000!"

The faces of those generals at this time had just recovered, especially the middle-aged generals, he still knew about the defense of the border of his territory, so he said with some pride, but then he thought about it, his face was difficult to look at, because these places have been captured now!

Although the generals looked down on the courage of the middle-aged general, they still nodded in agreement with his words.

"But, folks, what I'm saying is...... These important towns were captured by less than 10,000 soldiers and horses......!"

Cheng Dan said with a solemn face.

"No way, this can't ......!"

Before Cheng Dan finished speaking, the middle-aged general exclaimed a little nervously.

"My Aoba City has 50,000 elite troops stationed on the border, which is already one-third of the soldiers in my territory, how can it be possible to break through the city with a thousand soldiers and horses!?"

The middle-aged general said incredulously.

"Nothing is impossible!"

Cheng Dan, who was sitting on top of the coach, said coldly: "And the most terrifying thing is that they didn't fall after fierce resistance, but ......"

"But under the first wave of attacks of the Qingyun army, it is a complete loss of morale!"

Cheng Dan said this, his voice was low and terrifying, and there was also a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Coach Cheng Dan, is this true?"

In the middle, there was a slightly obese general, who stood up and squinted his eyes.

The general's face didn't change in the slightest, and he looked very calm, but from his narrow eyes, there was a hint of panic.

"These pieces of information are all news delivered by my secret agents in Qingniu City, and they are absolutely true!"

Cheng Dan said in a deep voice.

"Wow!"

Hearing Cheng Dan's extremely affirmative words, the generals of the rest of the territories were in an uproar, and their faces became extremely ugly.

They knew that Qingyun Ling was very powerful, so they united to fight the enemy, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful, which made every general's heart full of fear.

The general who was calm on the surface, at this time, his small eyes were flickering, but he didn't look flustered, he just listened to him: "Then General Maodun, what can be done?"

"Yes, Coach Cheng Dan must have a good plan......

Those generals of various countries who were a little flustered seemed to grasp the life-saving straw all of a sudden, and their eyes regained the light of hope, and they stopped talking loudly.

"Alas!"

Cheng Dan sighed, and then said: "To be honest, Ben Shuai is not completely sure!"

"What!"

The generals just had hope in their hearts, but Cheng Dan's words were poured directly on their heads with a basin of cold water at this time.

"However, this Qingyun army is not invincible, it just needs your cooperation!"

After Cheng Dan's eyes swept over the generals one by one, he said slowly

"Coach Cheng Dan, please make it clear, we will fully cooperate"

Do you know the reason why the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved?"

Cheng Dan didn't directly say his strategy, but asked.

"Of course I know!"

A general stood up, clenched his fists and said.

Although there are no well-known strategies and schemes in the desolate world, everyone still understands some of the most basic military knowledge......

Grain and grass have an extremely important role in the army's operations, killing people is a rather physical technical work, every time you cut and kill, in fact, it is necessary to consume a person's huge physical strength, which naturally requires a lot of food supplements, so that the army has combat effectiveness.

If there is not enough food, then the whole army will not have enough physical strength to fight, and the result is naturally conceivable.

"The boss means to cut off his food supply?"

"No, no!"

Cheng Dan shook his head and sighed, and then said: "The information obtained by this commander indicates that in addition to the nearly 10,000 troops in the vanguard, Qingyun also dispatched as many as 300,000 troops, although it may not be as strong as the forward, but it is also an elite division, a full army of more than 300,000 uh, if you want to cut off their food channel, how easy is it!"

Hearing what Cheng Dan said, the generals present were silent, yes, if they had such a skill, they still needed to worry and fear here, and they would have been able to fight directly on the battlefield with the Qingyun army.

"Then marshal, what kind of strategy is it, please make it clear!"

At this time, the middle-aged general also calmed down, and the old man, who was very longing, pricked up his ears and stared at Cheng Dan tightly.

Because Aoba City is in danger at this moment, he is the most nervous person on the field.

"To be honest, it's not too difficult to defeat the Qingyun army, but it's rare to let its vitality be greatly damaged, and there is no possibility of invading the rest of the territory, once it can't make its vitality badly damaged, then the next time it will be even more difficult, so if you want to defeat Qingyun, you must give up, but this requires you to make up your mind!"

Cheng Dan said in a deep voice.

"The coach has reached this point, what else can't be abandoned, please say it to the coach!"

The middle-aged general of Aoba City had completely adjusted his mood at this time, and he said very respectfully.

"Yes, Marshal, we fully support the Marshal's decision!"

The generals immediately spoke loudly.

waved his hand to calm down everyone's restlessness, and then Mao Dun said: "There is only one strategy for this commander, erect a wall to clear the wilderness, and then rely on Qingye City to hold on!"

Cheng Dan stood up abruptly and said, "Qingyun Ling's military strength is undeniably strong, hundreds of thousands of troops, which can put huge pressure on my coalition army, but this is also his weakness!"

After a pause, he said: "After all, the foundation of the Qingyun Territory is too weak, a few years ago, it was just a weak territory that was about to be wiped out, and now although the population is nearly 10 million, it has raised hundreds of thousands of troops at once, which is undoubtedly self-defeating, not to mention that there is still a threat of barbarians in the north, as long as we hold on to Qingye City and hold on until the barbarians invade again, I don't believe that he Qingyun will not retreat, and the rest must be known to you!"

"Good strategy!"

Everyone praised in unison.

"Okay, so you all agree with my approach?"

Cheng Dan glanced at the many generals present and said.

"Agree ......"

The military tent remembered the sound of the same voice, but the representative of Aoba City had a gloomy and terrible face, so wouldn't their Aoba City be destined to become cannon fodder?

"Does the general have any grievances?"

Cheng Dan looked at the middle-aged general and said in a cold voice.

"No, there is!"

Although blood was dripping from his heart, the middle-aged general still gritted his teeth and said.

Everyone knows that this is not a method, and the biggest loss is Aoba City, even if it is the best to defeat, the strength of Aoba City will plummet, and it will even be annexed by other territories.

However, the middle-aged general still didn't dare to turn his face, Qingye City still needed to rely on the coalition army to defend, otherwise he only relied on the less than 100,000 soldiers left in Qingye City, which was not enough for the Qingyun army. Although according to Cheng Dan's method, Aoba City may not be able to be preserved, but after all, there is hope, if you don't agree with his method, then Aoba City will really be doomed.

At this time, thousands of miles away, Ye Qing's army had already converged with the forward, and after a simple handover, Ye Qing's army embarked on the journey again, this time, except for the scouts who explored the way, Ye Qing was not sending the forward, but hundreds of thousands of troops marched together.

At this time, Qingye City was already in sight, since the coalition army implemented the strong wall and cleared the wilderness, Ye Qing really did not encounter a single resistance, not even a single person, all the grain was collected, and the water source was destroyed, which seriously hindered Ye Qing's marching speed.

But even so, Ye Qing's army arrived at the foot of Aoba City ten days later.

At this time, Qingye City has gathered nearly 400,000 troops, which is more than half of the total strength of the coalition army, which also shows the coalition army's fear of Ye Qing from going out.

At the same time, it also shows that Ye Qing's intelligence secrecy work is still doing a good job, and so far the coalition forces have not found that the Qingyun army has been divided into four groups, in addition to their current army, there are three other major forces that have directly penetrated the lair of the coalition army.

The day after the two sides met, there was a large-scale tentative 'exchange'.

In order to maintain the illusion of an army of more than 300,000, Ye Qing only brought an army of 80,000 to the battle, and the remaining soldiers stayed in the camp.

In terms of the coalition army, Cheng Dan sent more than 200,000 troops at one time for the sake of conservatism, which was almost three times the size of Ye Qing's army.

For Cheng Dan, who has a great advantage in terms of troops, fighting head-to-head in a dignified manner is a good way to be foolproof. The nearly 50,000 cavalry gathered by the coalition army was only held in Cheng Dan's hands, and tens of thousands of infantry overwhelmingly pressed towards Ye Qing's army.
