The Era of Generals

Ruan Wenshan walked out of the short section of the mountain road abruptly, feeling like it was long.

While ordering people to break out at the foot of the mountain, he also looked back at the top of the mountain step by step.

However, to his disappointment, although the remaining Qilin soldiers all looked excited, none of them were passionate, and they just stood on the top of the mountain cheering and watching them leave.

But, is it really leaving?

Ruan Wenshan knew very well in his heart that what the other party was watching off was that they stepped into the gate of hell!

According to the news from the messenger, there were more than 20,000 reinforcements who came suddenly, which was far beyond his current capacity.

In a battle to encircle and suppress the supply troops, he just felt like a bloody battle.

Zhu Yan's ambush with more than 30,000 men, if not counting the more than 5,000 people who stayed behind on the other side of the hill, after a tough battle, the number of troops Ruan Wenshan could use, including the 8,000 cavalry on the two wings of the formation, was only 10,000 More than two thousand people.

You fought too hard just now!

Although Chen Ze's side is not as powerful as his elite, but after all, they have the advantage of the terrain. After a bloody battle, the damage of the two sides is actually not much different. If you insist on a serious comparison, it is your side that died more people.

It's just that although they died a lot before, they still had an absolute advantage in terms of total force, so regardless of consumption, it was only a matter of time before that hill was taken down.

But who would have thought that the damned reinforcements would appear at this moment, reinforcements twice as strong as his!

Having just fought a tough battle, the soldiers under him are at the end of their strength, and at this time they have to face the sudden emergence of new troops. Ruan Wenshan is almost desperate no matter how confident he is in his troops' combat power.

Right now he has two options.

One is, as I said just now, everyone is fighting to the last drop of blood for the empire.

The second is a way to survive in danger.

As long as those Qi Lin soldiers on the top of the mountain dare to chase them out, Ruan Wenshan will immediately order to turn around, quickly wipe out the opponent with a partial superior force, and then rush to the top of the mountain, join the 5,000 troops on the other side, and then escape from the other side .

This is when Ruan Wenshan received the Zhuyan Empire's specially made phoenix ringing arrow, he knew that Mengyang's cavalry had also circled from the side to the rear, and at this time on the other side of the hill, there were only the five thousand soldiers he had reserved there. After the others, a solution suddenly came to mind.

However, this method requires the cooperation of the opponent, and he has to cut off his wrists and abandon the eight thousand cavalry who ordered to come to support from both sides.

Using 8,000 people as a roadblock to block the footsteps of the opponent's reinforcements, the time gained can barely be used to escape.

Ruan Wenshan wanted to run, not because he was afraid of death, but because he knew that he must pass the news of what went wrong on his side back to the Zhu Yan Empire.

Otherwise, the Qingyang Empire already knew the existence of his ambush, and after simple deliberation, it would not be difficult to guess the Zhuyan Empire's plan this time.

Originally, it was an enemy's open and secret layout, but now that the other side has seen through their intentions, and then turned around and resorted to tricks, the Zhu Yan Empire may suffer heavy losses this time!

Therefore, even if there is only one person, we must ensure that someone escapes from Anluo Province and brings the information back!

At the level of Ruan Wenshan, there is no need to say much about his loyalty to the empire. Even if he knows that he will die, the plan in his heart is to put the interests of the empire first.

However, it is a pity that the other party does not seem to be willing to cooperate with him.

Ruan Wenshan has tried his best to make the soldiers retreat in a panic. Based on what he observed, the highest ranking enemy army on the top of the mountain is only a general. A small general will not be able to bear it. Greed?

That's right, that general on the other side... really couldn't help but want to be greedy for credit.

But what Ruan Wenshan didn't expect was that the little counselor next to him, who was one level lower than the rank of the general, was as calm as if he had no desires and desires. Not only did he not want to be greedy, but he also prevented He Xuan from being greedy.

Chen Ze spoke those words extremely fast, he only briefly analyzed the situation to He Xuan, but he could hear the latter breaking out in cold sweat.

He Xuan, who was dazzled by the battle achievements, really forgot that there was an army of 1,500 people on the other side of the hill. If it was true as Chen Ze said, he would be flanked back and forth by the opponent...

"Then tell me, what are we going to do?"

After hesitating for a moment, He Xuan gritted his teeth and spoke, not daring to show contempt in his words.

"It's still the same word, Shou."

Chen Ze calmly said: "General He, please lead the remaining hundreds of soldiers to continue guarding here, and I will go over there."

"you?"

He Xuan hesitated, a little uncertain.

It is no problem for him to continue to guard here. Although there are only a few hundred troops, considering the small area of ​​the mountain top and the opponent may not dare to attack head-on, the pressure of defense is much less than before.

But where is Chen Ze?

Just now, He Xuan's statement that you take the civilians to continue guarding was an angry remark, but judging by Chen Ze's appearance, he really wanted to take the civilians to defend the more than 5,000 troops over there.

How to keep it?

"Please rest assured, General He, I won't make fun of my own life."

Chen Ze smiled, and responded neither humble nor overbearing. After counting the casualties, there were less than two thousand civilians left. Together with Li Quan'an, who had escaped from Cheng Yu's possession, they rushed to the other side of the hill.

He Xuan looked at Chen Ze's back and was speechless for a long time.

"My... my lord, are you serious?"

While rushing back, the civilians who accompanied Chen Ze dared to ask because Chen Ze was just a small counselor.

They had just narrowly escaped death, and to be honest, they didn't want to go through the brutal fight just now again.

And... really can't beat it!

The civilians prefer to stay with the soldiers, at least they don't have to charge forward during the battle, so the chances of survival are greater.

"Don't worry, it's safe this time."

Chen Ze smiled back at him, patted him on the shoulder, then turned his head and said loudly: "Everyone, please rest assured, as long as you do what I say, I guarantee that none of you will die!"

A guarantee from a... little counselor?

No one believed Chen Ze's guarantee, and everyone was still worried. If the other party was not a general with a military rank, who dared not disobey the other party's orders during the war, no one would be willing to go with him.

In comparison, He Xuan, who was born as a general, actually felt more secure.

The other side of the hill was not completely deserted. When the large army fought against Ruan Van San, a small number of troops were left here for surveillance.

Chen Ze led the people only halfway there, and saw soldiers running towards this side with panic expressions. When he saw Chen Ze leading the people over, he was overjoyed and shouted from a long distance:

"My lord, the enemy army is attacking!"
