"What's wrong?" Han Xiao was not in a hurry, and asked very calmly.

"There are a lot of things that go wrong. Pang Ying said unceremoniously: "First of all, this time Hua Tingguo is almost the strength of the whole country to go out, as long as all the troops that can be mobilized are mobilized, the first point is that the consumption of resources is very amazing, so the shorter the time of the war, the better." ”

"That's right, that's why I said to attack directly, don't publicize it in advance, seize the opportunity in the big war, and then chase all the way to victory, you will definitely be able to fight quickly. Han Xiao still said happily. Ji Kong and Ji Ming also nodded on the side, expressing their agreement with Han Xiao's statement.

And after seeing such a situation, Iron Hammer and King Zhuge have completely stopped looking away, and they don't seem to want to see these fools. Chen Jiao was quite righteous, and she didn't laugh along, but Bai Yi was a little unkind and laughed.

"The mistake of the adult's thinking is that it is still to stop at seeking a city, not a country. Pang Ying paused, as if he was going to explain it quickly, as if he didn't want to continue to let Han Xiao show such an idiot. After sorting out his thoughts, Pang Ying began to talk freely, not giving Han Xiao a chance to interject again.

The so-called strategy for a city is naturally to calculate the defenders in the opponent's city as much as possible on the battlefield, and it is best to capture the city by surprise, so that of course there is less time wasted, less resources consumed, and most importantly, fewer dead people. If it's just a city, it's naturally best to have a surprise attack. And before, when Hua Tingguo encroached on the cities of small countries little by little, in fact, he did not use such a method, that is, to take advantage of the opponent's lack of preparation and take the opponent by surprise, so it is naturally a good means to capture a city.

But if you only seek one city, this is naturally no problem, but Hua Tingguo is going to go out in an all-round way this time. Even if Hua Ting Guo did not declare that he wanted to attack these small countries, they might not know Hua Ting Guo's ambitions. If Hua Tingguo quietly captured a city, or several cities, at the beginning, this could be done, but the problem was that it would be impossible to surprise after doing so, and if you wanted to continue to capture the city, you could only continue to fight bloody battles one by one. At that time, those small countries will form an alliance again, and Hua Tingguo will want to attack city by city, not to mention protracted, and the consumption of resources and troops will be simply unbearable.

And if the battle line is too long, it is constantly necessary to leave troops on the newly captured cities, and it may also face a sneak attack, in this case, Hua Tingguo may also be too busy to take care of himself. If the war is fought like this, it will really be a quagmire, and Hua Tingguo will be completely mired in the quagmire, and it will be impossible to get out of the quagmire at that time.

"That's why Hua Tingguo can't start a war by surprise attack on a city, because after taking a city, he will have to face one fortress after another, and it may even be an enemy who is getting stronger and stronger. After explaining a lot, Pang Ying said in a conclusion.

Han Xiao finally understands this statement now, this truth is naturally easy to understand, although Han Xiao does not understand war, but he understands people's hearts. It is true that if it is really such a city and one city is captured, the first thing is that it will be a serious consumption of resources and troops, and this huge consumption is very likely to drag down the Huating Kingdom, after all, the current Huating Kingdom is actually still in a very delicate state, and Qin Wuyue cannot afford to spend it.

"Then why does it have to be a decisive battle here?" Han Xiao asked again, after all, he only understood that he would not attack a city, but he still did not understand why it had to be a decisive battle here, in Han Xiao's opinion, in fact, there was a great chance to attack by another route.

After explaining the previous situation, it was obviously much easier to explain this problem, Pang Ying said: "In fact, the purpose of constantly preaching before the war is to make the alliance of small countries nervous first, and then they will subconsciously mobilize all the resources and troops here as much as possible when preparing for war. In fact, the idea of these small alliances is very simple, once Hua Tingguo invades their territory, it may just face the problem of too long a battle line, but once their territory is occupied, it will be a complete loss of the opportunity to turn the tables. Therefore, in order to keep the territory, we will also choose to die with Huating Kingdom here as much as possible. ”

Pang Ying continued: "It is through this method that Hua Tingguo has concentrated all the enemy's living forces on the other side of the Hengjiang River, so no matter how hard this battle is fought now, once it is won, all the living forces of those small countries on the other side of the river will suffer a very heavy blow." This is Hua Tingguo's strategy, and their strategy is to strive to completely defeat the enemy's living forces in a decisive battle, and to complete their work in one battle. As long as the forces they can mobilize are solved here, and then the resources they gather here are taken away, and after this battle, the army of monks of Huating Kingdom will continue to drive over, and the troops who can defend the rear will naturally be very few, and then the siege will not be a siege, it may become a tour. ”

Ji Kong finally understood the reason now, and subconsciously said: "That is to say, Hua Tingguo is preaching to the outside world that it is going to fight a decisive battle here, so those small countries unconsciously concentrate their forces here, but after the defeat of the decisive battle, except for the monks who were eliminated here, even if there is an enemy who escapes back, because of the failure of the decisive battle, their confidence will be completely damaged, there is no morale and military spirit, coupled with a large consumption of resources, these small countries have no chance to resist again?"

Pang Ying nodded with relief and said, "You finally understand." ”

Han Xiao finally understood, but he was a little ashamed in his heart after all. Anyway, after all, he was born in a family like the Han family, and the Han family used military exploits to gain a foothold in Tianning Kingdom, but Han Xiao didn't understand this truth, and he was really ashamed.

This is what Pang Ying calls a strategic victory, which is a very clever way of thinking. It is to knock out as much of the enemy's living force as possible in the decisive battle, this decisive battle will certainly be very hard, but there is only this one hard battle, and after the decisive battle is won, the enemy is defeated, and the loss is not only a war, but also the loss of all hope.

In fact, if you think about the situation on the other side of the strait carefully, you can already get a glimpse of it, and now those small alliances on the other side have lost their original power because of the Whirling Cloud Array, and they have only really lost a warship on the battlefield, but they have chosen to avoid the battle, so they can already see that they have lost confidence. They don't have the confidence to resist the attack of Huating Kingdom, if this decisive battle really fails, the next big battle will really be as Ji Kong said, and the battle has become a tour, and even a large number of deserters will eventually directly join the army of monks in Huating Kingdom, and all the army of monks in Huating Kingdom needs to do is to lead the army of monks with neat appearance to show off their might in front of every city, and it is estimated that the final waiting will be the enemy's sacrifice of the city.

This may be too optimistic, but that's how it should be. Thinking of this, Han Xiao couldn't help but say with emotion: "It seems that I underestimated Shen Zhuo before." ”

King Zhuge said approvingly at this time: "Yes, this is why Qin Wuyue will use Shen Zhuo so much, this person is indeed a talent, not only is his personal strength outstanding, but he really has a superb talent in terms of command, in fact, today's Huating Kingdom can reach this level, Shen Zhuo is definitely the first hero." ”

"No wonder the people who don't care about war so much in Steel Dan value Shen Zhuo so much, Qin Wuyue really found a good helper. Han Xiao also said.

"But the problem now is how to win the decisive battle, after all, now we are just taking the lead, since the alliance of small countries on the opposite side has chosen to fight here, it is impossible to be defeated so easily. If we attack now, they will naturally not be able to resist it, but the problem is that the whirling cloud array is still here, and it is almost impossible for us to break the formation, or at least it will take half a year to do it, but the variables of half a year are too great. After some jokes, King Zhuge still said what the problem was.

When Han Xiao and the others heard this, they all nodded bitterly. King Zhuge is right, now the alliance of small countries is just frightened by the sudden accident, but being beaten does not mean that it is defeated, there is still a long way to go before Huating Kingdom really wins, and in such a situation, it is naturally not too early to be happy.

"If it doesn't work, then let's rush again, the injuries of me and Iron Hammer are fine, we have already recovered, and we should be able to kill the Spiral Cloud Beast once we attack, and when the opponent's Spiral Cloud Array is in chaos, can't the warship rush over directly?" Han Xiao immediately proposed again.

It's just that this proposal was directly rejected, and the real terrifying thing about the Whirling Cloud Array is the turbulence formed on the surface of the river, and the current is very turbulent, which Han Xiao can really feel when they are underwater. The undercurrent they set off is even more alarming than the storm at sea, if the warship rushes in such turbulence, of course, it will not be stirred by the turbulence and capsize, but if it really does, even if the small alliance on the opposite side is instigated, it is impossible not to let go of this opportunity, and when the time comes, the warship of Huating State that is caught in the turbulence can only become a live target for the warship of the small alliance of small countries, and at that time, it will really sink into it as much as it wants, and how many warships can be killed by the enemy.

Han Xiao and the others could certainly forcibly kill the Whirling Cloud Beast, but first, it was too risky, and they didn't know what else the enemy would do, and secondly, even if they really killed one, the Huating Fleet still couldn't attack it.

And just when the battle seemed to be deadlocked again, Zhao Gangdan finally came back.
