"Military genius brings Zizhi Tongjian to another world ()" Find the latest chapter!

Hearing Adam's question, Allen was slightly stunned.

In the moment when Allen was stunned, Adam continued to ask:

"Father, you are the 'hero' of our country! You will definitely be able to drive away all the hateful invaders outside the city! Right?"

Looking at his son who was looking at him excitedly, and then looking at the basket full of cheese in his arms.

Allen only felt an invisible force pouring out of his body.

"Yeah!" Allen nodded vigorously, "Of course! I want you to promise - I will definitely drive all the invaders back!"

...

...

Frank Empire, outside the city of Bolu, the main camp of the Britannia Army.

At the main camp of the Britannia Army, a huge military tent was built at this time.

This huge military tent was specially made.

It is to accommodate all the senior knights and generals of the Britannia Army and the Hilan Army to hold meetings together.

All the senior knights of the Britannia Army and above, and all the senior officers of the Hilan Army and above, gathered in this huge military tent and started their first military meeting since the meeting.

The topic of this military meeting is how to break through the city of Bolu.

Because the languages ​​of the two sides are not mutually intelligible, the pace of today's meeting is bound to be very slow.

Next to each knight of the Britannia Army sat a Hilan translator, who translated the words of each Hilan Army general to the knight in charge.

Next to each general of the Hilan Army sat a Britannia translator, who translated the words of each Britannia Army knight to the general in charge.

Only Su Cheng, El and Gabriel did not need a translator in the tent.

At the beginning of the meeting, Su Cheng told everyone in the tent directly that it was impossible to break through the city of Bolu by force.

As soon as Su Cheng said this, everyone in the tent except El and Iser was shocked.

After Su Cheng finished speaking, El, who was sitting next to him, also echoed:

"Today, Su Cheng and I went around the city of Bolu. The walls of Bolu were specially thickened and raised. Both the height and thickness were beyond our imagination."

"Although our Hilan army successfully defeated the main force of the Frankish army at the beginning of the war, the main force of the Frankish army did not suffer much damage."

The battle that El referred to that defeated the main force of the Frankish army was naturally the battle in which the muskets were powerful, defeated the 80,000-strong Frankish army, and killed Doppler.

"According to my estimate, there were at least 60,000 Frankish troops who successfully withdrew at that time."

"That is to say, there are at least 60,000 defenders in the city of Bolu."

Hearing El's words, most people in the tent felt depressed.

With an army of more than 60,000 soldiers stationed there, even if it was just a city with average defense, it would become an extremely difficult existence.

Not to mention that this army of more than 60,000 soldiers was stationed in a city as strong as Bolu.

At this time, Su Cheng also added a sentence that made everyone in the tent look even more serious:

"What's more terrible is that Bolu is built on a high ground. If we want to attack, we can only attack from above."

"You should also know how disadvantageous it is to attack a city from above?"

"Besides, before Bolu City was built, this land was a quarry."

"Because of the difficulty of mining, this land with rich rock resources was abandoned, and Bolu City was built on this land in the future."

"The underground of Bolu City is full of a lot of hard rocks."

"So, if we want to attack Bolu City from underground,

it will be quite difficult."

Su Cheng and El told each other the results of their reconnaissance of Bolu today.

Although Su Cheng and El said a lot, their words can be summed up to only one meaning - Bolu City is very difficult to attack, and it is difficult to win by force.

"Then..." A general officer of the distant front army said softly, "Since it is difficult to capture Bolu by force, how about we start a food war with the defenders of Bolu City?"

As soon as the general finished speaking, Su Cheng and El shook their heads almost at the same time.

"It's impossible." El smiled bitterly, "If we start a war of attrition with the defenders of the city of Bolu, we will suffer."

"We are on an expedition, and we have a long supply line to the capital of the Frankish Empire."

"The amount of food and grass consumed every day is not enough to be described as 'massive'."

"You can figure it out with your ass - the central government of the Frankish Empire must have collected a large amount of supplies in the city of Bolu."

"The chances of winning by attrition against the defenders of Bolu are slim."

"Maybe the supply lines of both our armies have collapsed, and Bolu's supplies have not been consumed yet."

As soon as El finished speaking, a knight of the Britannia Army scratched his hair with an annoyed look.

"Then what should we do... neither a strong attack nor a war of attrition will work..."

This knight expressed the thoughts of almost everyone in the audience.

With their heads blank, everyone looked at the map hanging on one side of the tent, thinking hard.

They hoped that a brilliant plan to break through Bolu would suddenly pop up in their minds.

Su Cheng and El also looked at the map quietly.

However, compared to the anxious faces of others, Su Cheng and El's expressions were much calmer.

Su Cheng looked at the map calmly.

To be precise, he should be looking at a light blue dot marked on the map.

Next to this light blue dot, it was marked: Lake Steyr.

Su Cheng's eyes were still fixed on the dot marking Lake Steyr, and then he said to El beside him for no reason:

"...El, I plan to go to Lake Steyr tomorrow."

"What a coincidence." El said softly, "Su Cheng, why do you have the same idea as me? I also plan to go to Lake Steyr tomorrow."

"I'm not going to Lake Steyr alone." Su Cheng continued, "I'm going to take all the hydrological experts in my army with me."

"Su Cheng, it's really a coincidence." El said again, "I even suspect that you have the special ability to see what others think. I also plan to take all the hydrological experts in my army to Lake Steyr tomorrow."

Su Cheng and El turned their heads almost at the same time and looked at each other.

Then they smiled faintly.

Su Cheng and El both thought of the same thing.

Therefore-they both understood why each other planned to go to Lake Steyr.

Su Cheng and El understood why each other planned to go to Lake Steyr tomorrow.

As for the others in the tent, they didn’t understand.

The others in the tent looked at Su Cheng and El with confusion as they suddenly said a bunch of incomprehensible words and then smiled at each other…
