Chapter 2 Su Yong's Smile
PS: Thick-skinned recommendation, collection and red tickets. No? Impossible (⊙o⊙)

"The number of smoke columns used by the enemy to bury the stove for cooking is more than 1,630. According to the amount of food of 20 people per stove, there are more than 30,000 enemy troops. But the enemy is heavily guarded, and we can't get close to observing more information. Sun Shangwu replied respectfully.
This number is not much different from the number counted by another scout team yesterday.
"Is there anything else?" Yan Chuanyun finally turned around. A scar on his dark face almost cut off the bridge of his nose, and a pair of tiger eyes were not angry and arrogant. He just glanced at everyone, but everyone felt that those eyes were still looking at themselves and had been seeing their hearts.
Sun Shangwu looked back at the people behind him and arched his hand again, "Lord Yan, it's gone."
At this time, Su Yong couldn't help but take back the left foot that quietly stretched out half a step.
"Well, do you... have something to say?" Yan Chuanyun glanced at Su Yong at the corner of his eyes and knew that he was a new recruit, but he didn't know his name.
"I'm going back... I'm going back to the leader, no... no!" Su Yong stammered and immediately attracted a kind smile from the soldiers.
Su Yong took a deep breath and tried to set his mind. Unexpectedly, he found that his back had been soaked with cold sweat in this hot summer.
This black Yan is really not a deterrent. He couldn't help muttering in his heart.
Of course, even if he lends him a day, he doesn't have the courage to say this sentence.
Yan Chuanyun suddenly smiled rarely: "Why don't you say something? As long as anyone is concerned about the war, anyone can express their opinions boldly, and no one will blame you for it!"
The laughter of a group of soldiers around made the black-faced commander rarely loosen his tense nerves. Unfortunately, with the terrible scar on his face, his smile was even worse than crying.
"Cough..." Although Su Yong was still nervous, he finally calmed down after adjustment. He took a step, holding his fists with Tieqing's hands, which had already been pinched, and trembled slightly: "Your Excellency, I just feel a little strange, because nearly half of the enemy's tents are stuck in the Black Forest, which seems to be a little contrary to their customs on the grassland."
"Oh. Half of the tent is stuck in the black forest? Yan Chuanyun glanced at Sun Shangwu, and the latter nodded.
Yan Chuanyun took two steps back and forth and stopped. The two cows looked at Su Yong and asked with a smile, "Do you think this is a problem? Well, what's the problem?"
The surrounding soldiers laughed again. In their opinion, the leader has been worried these days, and now it is rare to let go of his mind and joke with Xinding.
"Your Excellency, I think that there are not so many people in the enemy at all. The enemy was just pretending to drag the soldiers on our side to facilitate their full attack on Dragon Wing City!" Su Yong replied very simply. He has been thinking about this matter for a long time, and with some suspicious signs, he has an estimate. He felt that his estimate was infinitely close to the facts.
Previously, the Yanmeng people declared war on the Yanlong Empire, and 100,000 troops attacked the two main channels of Dragon Wing City and Phoenix on the border of the Yanlong Empire.
The siege war in the Dragon Wing City on the first side began a few days ago, but there was no movement in Phoenix. The invading enemy seemed not to be in a hurry to attack the city, but seemed to be guarding outside like you.
What should be explained here is that although Phoenix is not as vast as Dragon Wing City, the terrain is dangerous. A tall mountain range that used to be full of active volcanoes, the highest peak of the Bloodline Mountains, stretches here.
On the other side of the city wall is the cliff of the skyscraper. Skyscraper, as the name implies.
Red Flame Peak and Skyscraper are difficult for ordinary people to climb. It is precisely because of the two spreading natural barriers on both sides of the tower, just like the two wings of a phoenix, it is called Phoenix.
With such a dangerous terrain, Phoenix can be said to be solid. If it is not more than three times the number of troops, there is no need to worry at all.
The Yanmeng people also knew that Phoenix was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so most of the troops, said to be 70,000 out of 100,000 troops, were sent to the Dragon Wing City to attack.
The 30,000 here is not in a hurry, just to prevent Phoenix from rescuing Dragon Wings.
On the side of Dragon Wing, although the city is stronger than that of Phoenix, how can it withstand the strong attack of the 70,000 troops? On the first day alone, 3,000 soldiers were killed and injured, so he sent twelve documents to urge troops back to the court. However, the distant water could not save the thirst. The reinforcements of the imperial court could not arrive for a while. Phoenix could only help. The day before yesterday, 4,000 soldiers were allocated to support.
After all, once the city is broken, the enemy can invade from the city. At that time, it will attack inside and outside, and the difficult brother will have the same fate.
......
"Do you think there are more than 70,000 enemy troops on Longyi's side?" Hearing what he said, Yan Chuanyun's expression gradually became grim, and his face was even darker and purple.
"Yes, my lord, think about it. On the first day, 3,000 soldiers and soldiers of our army were killed, and less than 5,000 people were killed by the enemy. In terms of the situation of both sides, this proportion is not right. If the enemy only has 70,000, it's just a little more than twice as much as our side, but don't forget that we have the advantage of a high city and a thick wall. How can there be so many casualties? Su Yongdao.
Generally speaking, if the quality of the soldiers on both sides is similar, the attacking party needs to have at least more than twice the strength to achieve a balance between attack and defense. In the border city of the Yanlong Empire, the folk customs are fierce, and the physical quality of the soldiers is not much worse than that of the Yanmeng people on the grassland.
What's more, although Dragon Wing City does not have the natural barrier of Phoenix, it has a thicker wall of towers that are taller and stronger than Phoenix, which can be said to be a limited difference from Phoenix in terms of land.
So there were 3,000 casualties in the first day, and only less than 5,000 casualties from the enemy. Is the problem with the quality of the soldiers?
The soldiers who fight continuously are completely different from the soldiers who have rested. Su Yong is almost sure that if the quality of the soldiers on both sides is similar, this proportion is because the enemy has enough manpower to fight on wheels, and we have to fight continuously under pressure.
So, it is likely that there are 80,000 or even 90,000 people on the side of the dragon wing? Is there only 10,000 bluffs left here?
Don't think that 80,000 is more than 70,000. In fact, if it is reasonably arranged and takes turns to attack according to the fixed period, they can use a little energy advantage to kill you.
For example, if 30,000 people are sent to attack the city every time, the defenders will have at least 15,000 people to defend. Well, after a few hours, everyone was tired and changed shifts to fight again, so the 30,000 yuan was withdrawn and another 30,000 yuan was sent. Naturally, the guard of the city also changed shifts and replaced another 15,000 people.
But 80,000 to 90,000 people are in three shifts, and there are only two shifts in the defense of the city. How can the energy supplement be as good as the enemy? In this way, the other party can gradually widen the gap, so as to control and take the initiative to eat you.
Yan Chuanyun's generation of fierce people, I don't know how many battles have been fought, big and small. Naturally, I understand these truths.
At this moment, he paced back and forth, hesitating.
Although Dragon Wing City is less than 300 miles away from Phoenix, the communication was lagging behind at that time. They only knew the first day of the war when they sent more troops, but the latest war report could not be understood in time.
Therefore, what Su Yong said is just a guess based on the events of the previous war.
"Your guess is very reasonable, but what does it have to do with our enemy camp in the Black Forest outside the city?" Su Yong's speculation impressed everyone, but Yan Qing with thick lines still didn't understand the connection.
"Because the enemy is afraid that our scouts will see it." Su Yong said, "It is impossible to bury the stove to cook in the tent, and the soldiers will not carry the hot oil-smoky pot back to the place where they live to share food, so eating is the best time to estimate the number of the other party. But if half of their tents are in the woods, we can't see them, and we can't estimate them.
"As for the cooking smoke in the forest, it may be just a blindfold made by them sending some soldiers." After Su Yong said this, everyone nodded and said yes. They couldn't help looking at the new recruit egg and son's eyes were a little strange.
Why is this guy so so careful?
But Yan Chuanyun was still walking in silence, and everyone couldn't help urging.
It's already very clear. Obviously, we have to continue to send more troops to support Longyi City. What kind of guy are you doing?
At this time, Su Yong boldly stretched out his hands and motioned everyone not to disturb.
He is more clear. In his position, you should be in charge of it.
All the previous statements are just speculation. In case, if the enemy really has 30,000 people staring at it outside the city, who will bear the responsibility for the loss of Phoenix?
Of course, it's this Yan Chuanyun. Can it still be blamed on a new Ding Suyong?
For a long time.
Su Yong finally summoned up his courage again and whispered, "Lord Yan, instead of increasing the dragon wings, it's better to retreat from the phoenix first... Let's get out of the city!"
The voice is not high, but everyone is like a bolt from the blue! One by one, their mouths are half as big as their faces!
Even if there are only 10,000 people outside the city, there are only 12,000 people in Phoenix! Yanmeng Dahan is not a vegetarian. He drinks milk and eats meat for breakfast. Naturally, his body and bones are stronger than ours. Even if our number is slightly superior, the other party is waiting for work with ease!
What's more, is it possible for all of them to attack and attack the empty city?
Yan Chuanyun also raised his head with a shout at this moment, and the scar on his face seemed to shine. He stared at the beautiful young recruit with a pair of tiger eyes, and he felt a little confused.
However, everyone found a calm and confident smile on Su Yong's face.
