When fighting and attacking the city, attacking five will attack it, and surrounded it by ten.

In other words, if the two sides attack the city and the attacking force is ten times the number of people defending the city, then they can surround the city and slowly consume it. When I am five times the enemy, I can use a comprehensive attack method to defeat the enemy in one go.

This is the strategy in "The Art of War", which is compared to the records of siege and defending the city.

But if it is a war in the jungle, Zhu Zhen will not have the upper hand in terms of strength. After all, although there are more than 30,000 people, where can the troops be divided into three groups? At most, it is only half a dozen people to be given to the number of people Wang Xiwei brought.

Zhu Zhen’s confidence comes from the city at his base.

The combined forces on this island cannot be five times that of his power. Not to mention the military strength, there are many civilians living in Zhuzhen's city. Once they fight, they distribute weapons and go directly to the city wall to defend the city. So strictly speaking, Zhuzhen's military strength may not be only 30,000, but 30,000 are just regular troops. As for those who can defend the city with weapons, they naturally cannot be compared with the serious soldiers. To put it bluntly, they are just cannon fodder.

But even cannon fodder cannot be underestimated. If too many cannon fodder is enough, people can be buried.

The Tang Army Navy's fleet sailed north along the island. All the siege equipment on the ship had been prepared. You just need to approach the coast and carry it down and assemble it directly.

Zhuzhen's city is not close to the coast, so the Tang army still has a buffer time, so there is no need to worry too much. The Tang army is not afraid that the people in Zhuzhen's city will find traces of the Tang army landing. What if they find it, what can they do? Could it be that they will abandon the left and right camps and return to the army camp to let go?

How could Yang Fu, Cheng Yong and Wang Xiwei let them come back so easily?

Even if you come back, what can you do? It would be better to honestly fight Wang Xiwei, Yang Fu and others in the left and right camps.

The Tang army has excellent weapons and equipment. If they meet them in the wild, it will be a flock of wolves. If they fight, they will be chopping melons and vegetables.

The Tang army's camp was empty, and several warships were left on the sea near the camp, and the people left were all on the boat. Xuan Shi and Liu Renyuan accompanied the team to Zhu Zhen's camp.

In the past two days, Zhu Zhen's scouts investigated around his camp, and also found out that Wang Xiwei and Yang Fubing had advanced toward this side in two groups, and reported it to Zhu Zhen.

"This is to force our troops to divide the two groups." Zhu Chang said.

"If you have a share, you will get 10,000 people to deal with Wang Xiwei. Now Wang Xiwei can take advantage of it, probably only 10,000 people, not even 10,000, and the third brother will lead the troops." Zhu Zhen said: "There are 20,000 left. We will wait for Yang Fu and Chengyong's coalition forces in the city. Their forces are about 20,000, and it is very convenient for us to defend the city."

"It's no problem for me to lead troops to deal with Wang Xiwei, but what should I do with the camp on the right? Are we still 8,000 soldiers there? Could it be that we have to abandon the camp and bring people back to the city?" said the third brother.

"If this is not the case, our clone will be weak." Zhu Chang said: "Transfer 20,000 people to the camp on the right to deal with Yang Fu and Cheng Yong. In our city, there are only more than 5,000 people left."

The news Xuan Shi heard was still somewhat deviated. Zhu Zhen’s troops were not more than 30,000, but 35,000, or even more.

But at this point, even if there are 5,000 more people, Zhu Zhen is still unable to make up for the situation.

So what if they were defending the city? They dared to win the city when they came. The Tang army encountered many cities that were difficult to conquer, but in the end they were all taken down.

No matter how high the city walls are and how strong the city gates are, is there as strong as Anshi City as the city of Zhuzhen? Is it difficult to fight Anshi City in this city?

"I think that five thousand people should be enough." Zhu Zhen, who was sitting in the head, said: "After all, there are city walls as a cover. Moreover, once someone is found to attack our city, the left and right camps can withdraw the city as soon as possible and guard the city."

"Brother agrees to divide the troops?" Zhu Chang asked.

Zhu Zhen nodded: "There is only this now. The left and right camp is the guard of our city. If the left and right camps are gone, then our base camp will be exposed to them so firmly, without even a line of defense."

Although Zhu Chang felt that it was inappropriate, Zhu Zhen had already said that. It was probably useless to persuade him any more. So let's do it like this. Originally, this battle was just going against the current and it was difficult to fight. Moreover, the Tang army was eyeing him, and no matter what, they had to bite the bullet and fight.

However, when it comes to Tang Jun, Zhu Chang was a little confused. There seemed to be no news about Tang Jun in the past two days.

"Brother, have any scouts come back to report the news from the Tang Army camp in the past two days?" Zhu Chang asked.

Zhu Zhen shook his head: "No, but now the fight is about to start. Tang Jun is probably preparing to watch the show."

Zhu Chang always felt a little uneasy, but for a moment he couldn't think of anything wrong. The Tang army had to watch the wall and reap the benefits of the fisherman. This was certain. Otherwise, the Tang army would not be able to control the entire island in the future. After all, the number of people from the Tang army to this island was limited. Even if the entire island was taken down, the local troops on the island would be more than the Tang army. Will the Tang army feel at ease?

Therefore, the Tang army had to consume the troops on the island.

Perhaps things are not without a turnaround. If I lead the soldiers of the Right Camp to face Yang Fu and Chengyong, I might be able to persuade Yang Fu.

Didn’t Yang Fu send someone to join forces before and say that he wanted to unite? Maybe his elder brother returned to Yang Fu, so Yang Fu was so angry that he acted like this?

Zhu Chang also felt that his elder brother's previous decision was a bit hasty. Now it is the time to be unanimous to the outside world. He understood the truth that his elder brother and third brother could not resist the temptation. Thinking that Yang Fu, Chengyong and the Tang army were both injured, he led his troops to clean up the situation, and then waited for an opportunity to take down the entire island. Now, the situation has changed. It is not their Zhu family who did this, but the Tang army.

The Tang army perfectly copied Zhu Zhen’s original strategy, but they were better at playing in this regard than Zhu Zhen, and they also had enough capital to implement this strategy. In the end, they were the ones who fell into a passive position.

After the three brothers of the Zhu family made the decision, they quickly began to dispatch troops. The third brother brought 5,000 people to reinforce the left camp, while the second brother Zhu Chang quickly rushed to the right camp with 12,000 people.

Zhu Zhen stayed in the city with five thousand soldiers.
