After all, although Xi Qin was mentally prepared for the "revenge" of the Burgundians, the scale of the Burgundians was, and where was their bottom line? Bai Zhou and the others did not know. This was why they did not take time to rest after returning to Basel, but sat together to discuss strategies.

The first possible "revenge", the Burgundians only sent one or two envoys to protest or threaten verbally, and did not take any military action. If Burgundy had only five thousand troops in Belfort, they would definitely take this kind of "revenge". However, after last night's temptation, it was obvious that the Burgundians had a backup plan in Belfort. Then, in the face of such "suffering" provocation of Western Qin, the probability of the Burgundians taking such a weak revenge method. Of course, if the other party was a guy with great wisdom and closeness to demons, they might also take this approach to confuse the Western Qin army. However, "regrettably", the reaction of the Burgundians in the face of Western Qin's harassment last night was the safest way - to avoid fighting, but also let Bai Zhou and the others know that this opponent is limited ingenuity. After all, it is okay to avoid fighting, but this opponent not only avoids fighting, but also avoids "doing".

The second possibility is that the Burgundians only sent these 5,000 soldiers stationed in the valley. However, the probability is not high. After all, they cannot not know that the Western Qin has more than 10,000 troops now, and they rely on Basel to attack a fortress with 5,000 people. Even if the city defense construction of this fortress is not sound, if the Burgundians really only sent these 5,000 people to attack, then they cannot be called self-confidence, it is a manifestation of arrogance. It should be noted that in normal siege battles, if the strength of the soldiers on both sides is not much different, other factors in time and strategy are also ruled out. If a head-on battle is simply a head-on, the casualties ratio is generally between 3 to 1 and 5 to 1. Of course, it is not ruled out that some cities have sufficient urban defense facilities.

Show can infinitely expand this ratio to the enemy's failure to break as long as the city is constantly food and water. Of course, Basel is far from this level. According to Bai Zhou's estimate, if the opponent's siege equipment is of sufficient quality and sufficient quantity, and the Xiqin side only lets Swiss militia defend the city, the casualties ratio can reach 3 to 1 at most. Moreover, once the number of militia casualties exceeds 40%, the city can be declared broken, because the remaining soldiers have reached the critical point in morale and physical strength. At the same time, the vacancy in the defensive position brought by the dead soldiers can easily lead to the remaining 60% of militias not being able to exert any combat effectiveness at all, but instead trigger a full-scale escape.

The third possibility, and the biggest possibility that the people in Western Qin speculated, was that the Burgundians made a large-scale attack. However, how big could this "big move" be? After all, the Western Qin was not the leader of the Burgundians, so naturally they could not know. However, the Western Qin people also formulated four strategies for the possible number of Burgundian soldiers. Now the opponent has sent 10,000 people. If nothing unexpected happens, the second one should be implemented.

"Young Master, defending the city in the city is extremely dangerous and it is easy to have accidents. It's best to let me do it." Mengshan said. Although he also agreed to implement the second strategy - garrisoned in Basel with miscellaneous troops, and the children of Western Qin left the city to hide on both sides. When the opponent attacked Basel in large numbers, all the ambushers on both sides were out, rushing to the enemy, and annihilated all the Burgundians' 10,000 troops under the city. The opponent only sent these 10,000 people, so this strategy was relatively safe. With the strength of Western Qin, it should be no problem to eat them, especially when the opponent attacked the city, the front line under the city will inevitably be unstable. Once attacked by others, it will definitely be a situation of defeat. Moreover, there are more than a thousand cavalry in the Western Qin. Although there are no way to exert too much strength in the terrain of Belfort, if it is just creating chaos under the city of Basel and pursuing deserters, it will still play an important role.

Although this strategy is relatively safe, it is only relative. On the battlefield, everything changes rapidly and it is impossible to have a 100% perfect strategy, but at present, this strategy is the best. However, there is a link here. The general who is responsible for baiting in the city is undoubtedly the most dangerous. After all, the sword has no eyes, especially when it comes to strong attacks from the opponent at the beginning, it is easy to have accidents. Mengshan, as the nominal supreme commander of the Western Qin Dynasty, originally had to serve as the bait himself, but Bai Zhou knew that the key to how much result this battle can achieve lies in the timing of the ambush on both sides, and the one that can be perfectly grasped is the Western Qin army. Although it is the most dangerous, it is also the least "technical content". Letting Mengshan garrison in the city is undoubtedly a waste.

Bai Zhou deliberately made a relaxed expression and said to Mengshan with a smile: "General Meng, it doesn't matter, I won't be so easy to get into trouble. This battle is only allowed to succeed, not fail. If you are not allowed to be responsible outside the city, we only have a few younger generations who can't bear this big beam."

Bai Zhou is telling the truth. Don’t say that Bai Zhou has such a bad "attribute", even Mengzhi and Menggo, their "attributes" are much worse than Mengshan. The general's "attributes" have a very obvious effect on improving the abilities of soldiers under his command. If a few younger generations were allowed to come out of the city to lead the army, they would definitely not be able to play such a strong role as Mengshan. What Bai Zhou hopes to eliminate Burgundy's vitality as much as possible. Now, the Burgundians have sent such a large "cake". Bai Zhou understands that eating less now means that the enemies you encounter tomorrow will be stronger.

Mengshan saw that he could not convince Bai Zhou. Besides, what Bai Zhou said was the fact, so he no longer got entangled in this issue. However, it was agreed that all the Swiss militias were stationed in the city, and only one general was left. Now, due to Bai Zhou's insistence, Mengshan also insisted on staying in the city for a thousand Western Qin children, and at the same time, he also kept Mengzhi.

Bai Zhou was a little amused and crying about this. Originally, the reason why he wanted Mengshan to leave the city to command the army was to allow him to exert as much combat power as possible in the Western Qin soldiers and to wipe out the Burgundians as much as possible. But now, Mengshan insisted on splitting out one thousand soldiers, which instead weakened the combat power of the ambush on both sides. However, the words were so far, even if he had splitting out one thousand soldiers, under the leadership of Mengshan, he would definitely be stronger than the one who led the eight thousand soldiers himself. Therefore, Bai Zhou accepted Mengshan's insistence.

If possible, Bai Zhou would rather let Mengzhi or Mengge replace him as the commander of the first army now. After all, with their strength, whether it is the command of the real military formation or the "attribute" of their "attribute" to the army, the problem is that in terms of "status", Bai Zhou is the largest here, Mengshan is second. If the Meng brothers are allowed to replace him, they will not agree first, let alone Mengshan here, they "dare not" agree. Now, the two Western Qin dynasties have to have two people to command the army. One must be Mengshan, and the other, even if Bai Zhou doesn't want to, he has to be responsible for himself. Fortunately, there is Mengzhi's assistance. Although he is the deputy general, he cannot add any bonus to the army's ability, he can at least help Bai Zhou in command of the military formation.

"Then, it's getting late, General Meng should leave the city quickly. If it's too late, I'm afraid that the Burgundians will notice it." Seeing that everything was discussed, Bai Zhou was not ready to waste more time.

"Yes, young master." After Mengshan got the order, he also took Mengge out of the tent directly.

Bai Zhou took a deep breath and clenched his fists. Burgundy, if you want to ambush me, then I will let you taste the taste of being ambushed first.
