The Era of Generals

"Could it be that you want...!"

The same exclamation came from two people almost at the same time.

One is Yang Mingzhong, and the other is Zheng Yuanyun.

For Yang Mingzhong, Chen Ze had almost explained what he said, which made Yang Mingzhong, who always put safety first, figure out the key points.

As for Zheng Yuanyun, Mr. Hua naturally disdained to say it clearly, but Zheng Yuanyun himself was stunned when he yelled without thinking about it.

Zheng Yuanyun was stunned for a moment, then turned his eyes and landed on the huge marching map in the tent.

At his level, he didn't need to mark on the map at all, he only simulated the chess pieces in his brain, and after deducing the travel routes of the chess pieces from all sides, he immediately came to a conclusion.

No one would disturb Zheng Yuanyun at this time, but he himself, after a moment of calculation, silently looked at Hua Lao.

"This kid, how courageous!"

Zheng Yuanyun gritted his teeth, but his complexion softened a lot than before, and he was no longer livid.

The words uttered through gritted teeth contained more of an exclamation.

Hua Lao smiled, he knew what Zheng Yuanyun was upset about.

Chen Ze didn't tell anyone about this plan, and even Mr. Hua only saw something suspicious from the clues.

Especially when Chen Ze asked Zheng Yuanyun to send 500,000 elite soldiers to support him, Elder Hua was even more certain of this.

And he also understood why Chen Ze didn't explain in advance.

These people, these generals in the big tent, including Zheng Yuanyun, they are all too concerned about Bo'an City.

When a large army comes to attack, everyone's immediate reaction is to defend the city, defend it to the death, and never let Bo'an City lose!

Even Chen Ze proposed to abandon Bo'an City, and it was adopted by Zheng Yuanyun. After it finally evolved into the current favorable situation, what Zheng Yuanyun had in mind was still how to severely injure the enemy army, and then regain Bo'an .

But in fact, when things got to this point, Zhu Yan's army is already very passive, and Bo'an City can definitely expand and achieve greater results.

It is only necessary to hold off Zhang Chengwang's army here, and defend the empty Nantes province... how to defend?

After being cut off by Chen Ze and Yang Mingzhong, no matter how many troops Zhang Chengwang had, they were still a lone army. It sounds domineering to go deep, but more often than not, it was a helpless choice.

Just like now, if he retreats, he will definitely lose his vitality. After Bo'an City is relieved, no matter how safe Zheng Yuanyun is, he will definitely attack Nantes Province to avenge today's revenge.

But if they advance, there is still a chance of survival. Since Bo'an City divides its forces and takes care of the rear, the frontal force is naturally inferior to Zhu Yan's army. After fighting hard, it may not be invincible.

The opportunity is fleeting, if Zhu Yan's army is not lured out of the city for a decisive battle at this time, once Zhang Chengwang chooses to withdraw regardless of casualties, although his vitality will be greatly injured, his strength will still be preserved. Only then will Zheng Yuanyun integrate his troops to carry out the battle. In the province of Nantes, it is really just revenge.

The timing is not as good as it is now. Not only can the sword guide the special province, maybe it can even...

Take it in one fell swoop!

The words that Zheng Yuanyun yelled angrily just now were originally for venting, but as soon as these words came out, Zheng Yuanyun immediately felt... There is a lot to do!

At this time, he also understood the reason why Chen Ze didn't make it clear in advance.

Having said that, he will definitely not agree, and at the same time, he will also shelve the matter of withdrawing the city. Not to mention, after the situation has developed to this point, Chen Ze also believes that with Zheng Yuanyun's military quality, he will not find out that it is wrong. to this point.

Zheng Yuanyun was a little ashamed, but in fact he didn't realize that, if Hua Lao hadn't mentioned it from the sidelines, all his current thoughts would still be on recovering Bo'an City.

Elder Hua didn't say any more, but sat back on his chair and habitually reached for the wine bottles on the table. Only then did he realize that he didn't bring wine today, and he smacked his lips regretfully.

"Send the order down!"

After thinking about this, Zheng Yuanyun frowned, and shouted: "Order all the troops in the nearby cities to come here, and not a single soldier is allowed to stay!"

It's not that the cities in Anluo province lack troops, but they must reserve some soldiers to guard the city, first to stabilize the city affairs, second to guard against spies, and third to fear that robbers will take advantage of the fire during the war.

It can be seen that the situation at this time, compared to capturing Nantes province, these are trivial matters, and it can be solved slowly after the overall situation has been settled.

There are priorities, and Zheng Yuanyun made a decisive decision immediately after thinking about it.

Although there are many troops here, they are actually smaller than Zhang Chengwang's. If you add the last ounce of troops sent from various cities and fight against each other, Zheng Yuanyun is not afraid of Zhang Chengwang.

The so-called don't panic when you have food in your hand, the one who should panic now is the opposite side!

………………………………………

"You want to... attack the province of Nantes?"

Yang Mingzhong's eyes were full of hesitation, looking at Chen Ze, he also clicked his tongue at the audacity of this little schemer.

This is something that even a general at the commanding level dare not think about. As a result, it seems that Chen Ze has been plotting this matter for a long time.

"Does General Yang think it's feasible?"

Chen Ze smiled, but did not deny it.

Yang Mingzhong was silent.

Is it feasible?

Although the army he brought did not have any advantageous large-scale siege equipment, in contrast, the Nantes province did not have enough defenders to defend the city.

An Luo and Nantes have been fighting for so many years, and they know each other well. They probably have a number in their minds about how many troops the opponent has. The difference in this number will never be too big.

With the current troops brought by Zhang Chengwang, it is not bad for each city in Nantes province to have enough 50,000 defenders.

With 500,000 against 50,000, Yang Mingzhong believed that he was using local materials and made a batch of simple ladders on the spot, so he was confident that he could attack the city in one fell swoop.

And in fact, it is not necessary for his 500,000 people to capture all the cities in Nantes Province, as his troops will not even be enough to garrison the cities.

The situation in Nantes Province is similar to that in Anluo Province, except that there are three cities with the same important status as Bo'an City, and it is these three cities that face Bo'an City.

Xili City, Ketan City, and Tel City, these three cities, in General Bo'an's mind, were equal to General Zhu Yan's weight when looking at Bo'an City.

This is a great opportunity!

Yang Mingzhong suddenly became excited.

If he can take down the three cities in one fell swoop, his contribution will be great. As long as these three important military towns in Nantes Province are strangled, then the entire Nantes Province can be said to be in the pocket of the Qingyang Empire. They ask for anything!

"Then when shall we leave?"

Yang Mingzhong asked excitedly.

"No, not us."

Chen Ze shrugged and regretted, "It's General Yang yourself."
