The Era of Generals

There is no choice to enter the canyon, and there is no extra time to stand still and sigh.

Chen Ze was silent for a moment, and ordered 500 people from the cavalry to enter the canyon instead of him, and properly arrange the corpses inside, while he himself led the rest of the people to rush to the next location.

Doing this not only made Chen Ze feel better, but also unexpectedly brought back some of the loyalty losses that had been caused by the skinning before.

After all, no one is willing to follow and work for his life. He is a bloodthirsty devil.

I came here just to verify whether Du Jun's words are true. In addition, Chen Ze also wanted to try his luck. If Zhu Yan happened to run into an ambush, although it would be difficult to completely wipe out the opponent, by making reasonable use of Ma Teng's military general skills, he could continue to fight. It is no problem to pull the formation to consume the opponent's troops.

You must know that if you consume one more, Chen Ze will gain one point of combat merit. It is impossible for him to let go of any opportunity to obtain combat merit.

Unfortunately, no.

As for the safety of the 500 people left behind, there is no need to worry about whether they will encounter Zhu Yan's ambush soldiers who have gone and returned.

This canyon does not seem to be the opponent's secret stronghold, but just a convenient place to hide the corpse.

Zhu Yan Empire should have found several different places for hiding corpses like this, otherwise, every time the Qingyang Empire's supply troops were caught, they would have to be escorted back here for execution?

Not to mention the long journey and time-consuming, it is easy to leak the whereabouts.

Now that he has gone, it is not impossible to come back, but it is definitely not now.

The supply line closest to here is Fenghua City, which is defended by Zheng Yuanlong, but according to previous estimates, Chen Ze didn't think those ambush soldiers would challenge a commander.

Of course, this possibility is not impossible. After experiencing the wrong judgment due to overconfidence last time, Chen Ze had to think more carefully.

So the second role of these five hundred people was to report the latest military situation to Zheng Yuanlong after disposing of the corpses.

Zheng Yuanlong is a rather impatient person, and Chen Ze was also afraid that if he told him the information in advance, the other party would send troops to the supply line of Qilin City without hesitation. is safe.

After taking care of everything, Chen Ze deliberately led the troops to take a long detour, crossing the most remote part of the Fenghua supply line as much as possible. On the one hand, they were hiding from the enemy's scouts, and on the other hand, they were also hiding from our troops.

Under the blessing of Meng Yang's general skills, the cavalry troop galloped all the way to the northeast. After a short rest at night, they finally rushed to a small forest about a hundred miles away from Bo'an City to temporarily station early the next morning.

The six lines all radiate from Bo'an City. This place is just like the supply line of Xichuan City. It is only a hundred miles away from Bo'an. Even the logistics troops can reach it in a day.

The same problem, in such a close place, the friendly army naturally doesn't care, but the enemy army will definitely not ambush here. After Chen Ze sent Chen Ming to explore the woods first, he also confirmed this point.

Then all you need is luck.

Naturally, Chen Ze would not know about Qilin City's dispatching arrangements for the supply troops, and it was impossible to know the exact marching time of the other party.

Waiting here, he naturally wanted to wait for a supply unit that came out of Bo'an City and returned to Qilin City. Only by following them would it be possible to meet Zhu Yan's ambush soldiers who were ambush on the supply line first.

Although it is a bit stupid to sit back and wait, it is the only way to find Zhu Yan's ambush right now.

The cavalry unit of 7,500 men was neither big nor small, and it was impossible not to be discovered by scouts hidden in the dark while marching.

Once discovered, the opponent sees that Chen Ze's side is full of heavily armed cavalry, so he can choose to hold back. The worst is not to eat the supply troops on this line, but instead send out a signal to let the large army of ambush go to attack elsewhere. However, Chen Ze immediately lost his temper.

So he can only choose to see if he can meet a supply unit, and let this unit walk in front as a pawn to explore the way, and Chen Zecai leads the people to step forward in their footsteps, so as to minimize the risk of being discovered .

Fortunately, their luck seems to be good.

After waiting for a whole day, when night fell, a shadowy procession of torches meandered from the direction of Bo'an.

Judging by its banner, it is indeed the Qilin City Army who escorted the food and grass back to the city.

After Chen Ze secretly praised himself for his good luck, he originally thought of letting them go there, and then led his people to follow slowly from a distance of more than ten miles, to see if he could lure Zhu Yan into ambush.

It turned out that it was getting late, and the other party also took a fancy to this small forest, and planned to camp here to rest for the night, but after rushing in, the two parties stared at each other, and almost fought directly.

Thanks to Xu Qing's knowledge of the opposing team leader's general, after some explanations, the opposing party finally believed that Chen Ze and the others were allies.

However, they only said that they rushed to Bo'an City to support them, and never mentioned that they might encounter Zhu Yan's ambush on the way.

At the same time, Chen Ze also asked the other party about the situation in Bo'an City, but the result he got was that everything in Bo'an City is normal now, and the defense force is more than sufficient.

This made Chen Ze frowned slightly, and without saying much, they each left and returned to the team.

There was no more words for one night, until the next morning, the two parties left in different directions.

Of course, Chen Ze's team was just putting on a show. They waited until Qilin City's supply troops had gone far before they turned back and walked slowly along the opponent's footsteps.

"Young master, this seems a bit..."

Xu Qing endured it for a whole night, but still rode his horse to come to Chen Ze's side, and spoke without hesitation.

Chen Ze glanced at him, first sent Chen Ming and other scouts to investigate ahead, then turned his head and said, "You mean to let them be bait?"

Xu Qing hesitated, but nodded.

The partial general from Qilin City had been to Xiyun City to do missions back then. At that time, Xu Qing was not in charge of the city defense force, and happened to be seconded by that partial general named He Xuan. The two had fought together for a while and had a close friendship.

To be honest, if Xu Qing hadn't recognized Chen Ze as the master, he couldn't help but want to tell him the truth last night.

Although the two teams said they were one in front and one behind, they were separated by five miles in order not to let the people of the Zhu Yan Empire find out. With this distance, even if Chen Ming found something wrong at the first time, he would rush back to Chen Ze Report, if they rush over there, it may be too late in time.

In other words, in Xu Qing's eyes, Chen Ze actually used He Xuan's army as an abandoned son, which made Xu Qing feel a little bit unbearable.
