The Era of Generals

"Aren't you going?"

Yang Mingzhong was stunned for a moment, unable to believe it.

This is a great contribution!

The capture of Nantes Province is a shocking feat not only in Bo'an City, but even in the entire Qingyang Empire!

The four empires have been fighting for a long time, and their foundations have already been solid. They may have existed before, but Yang Mingzhong can't remember the last time an entire province was captured by an enemy country.

And at this time, if they acted according to Chen Ze's plan, they would have a great chance of winning the province of Nantes, at least in...

Eighty percent!

This is still a very conservative estimate in Yang Mingzhong's heart.

Originally thinking about this credit, Chen Ze would not let go, but he was only sent to assist him anyway. Although he had merit, it only accounted for a very small part of it.

But even so, Yang Mingzhong was satisfied, he was able to take a bite of this deliciously baked cake, what else could he be dissatisfied with?

But what Chen Ze meant was that he didn't want to take the credit, so he handed it over to him.

Happiness came so suddenly that even Yang Mingzhong began to wonder if there was any fraud in it. After all, who would think too much credit?

If he can monopolize this great achievement, among other things, his military rank, which he has not touched for a long time, will definitely be raised. From the governor to the chief soldier, he has the opportunity to be equal to the city lord!

Chen Ze sighed.

He doesn't want the credit?

Just like Yang Mingzhong thought, who would think too much credit?

Of course, for his so-called credit, it is natural to count the combat merit points in the star system.

One must know that the actual number of soldiers under his command is only 30,000. Although Yang Mingzhong brought 500,000 soldiers, he also said that they were under his command.

But Chen Ze believed that Yang Mingzhong would not really surrender his military power.

Otherwise, what would Zheng Yuanyun send this governor to do? Wouldn't it be good to just send a general to deliver the troops to Chen Ze?

After all, Zheng Yuanyun still defended against Chen Ze, and did not trust him without reservation. Yang Mingzhong's arrival was just a restriction on Chen Ze.

That being the case, he followed to attack Nantes province?

Shangao traveled a long way, but ended up being a spectator behind him, cheering for Yang Mingzhong?

His own strength is only 30,000 people. If he is going to fight a siege with a very high rate of damage, he will probably be wiped out after two hits. How much military exploits can he gain?

That being the case, why did he go to join in the fun?

On the contrary, the credit that Yang Mingzhong said was naturally aimed at the credit in reality. Would Chen Ze care about this?

meeting.

In this world, people with higher military ranks can obtain better resources, just like now, if Chen Ze's military rank is sufficient, his words will carry more weight and he can command more troops, so if this The 500,000 troops are led by him, and of course he will personally attack the Nantes province.

But Bo'an City will give him credit, and it won't be less because he doesn't go to Nantes province. After all, Chen Ze is planning the whole plan. Of course, Zheng Yuanyun will take most of it afterwards, but the rest Chen Ze's share is also indispensable, which is enough for him to be promoted to the military rank.

He is the real commander behind the scenes of the Qingyang Empire in this battle, no one can deny this!

"I can not go."

Faced with Yang Mingzhong's doubts, Chen Ze naturally wouldn't speak out, but said with the words he had thought up a long time ago, "If we want to attack Nantes Province, we must first solve a problem."

He pointed to Bo'an City and said, "We must not allow the enemy to see through our plan and forcefully break out of the city when the troops behind are weak."

"So on this side, we should also put some pressure on them so that they don't dare to act rashly."

Hearing this, Yang Mingzhong nodded clearly, and said, "So Brother Chen wants to stay and let the other party know that there are indeed troops encircling the rear?"

Chen Zedao: "Exactly."

"But your strength..."

Yang Mingzhong hesitated and said, "Is there some deficiency?"

He knew that Chen Ze had only 30,000 troops, and once such a small force appeared, he was afraid that the formation of doubts would not come out, and the opponent would find out his flaws, which would be bad.

Chen Ze smiled and said, "I am more than 30,000 people."

"General Yang forgot, besides soldiers, did I have a large number of prisoners of war here?"

As soon as this remark came out, Yang Mingzhong suddenly realized.

Chen Ze has been here for a long time, and the enemy's supply troops have also intercepted an unknown number. He can't kill all of these troops, and there will inevitably be a large number of prisoners.

As long as they are arranged properly, these captives can...

"So that's the case, then there will be Brother Lao Chen!"

With a big heart, Yang Mingzhong solemnly clasped his fists at Chen Ze.

The two of them didn't delay at the moment, they discussed the matter of attacking Nantes province. Yang Mingzhong is also a veteran of the march, how to attack and which city to attack first, Chen Ze didn't need to worry about this, and he didn't interfere too much.

As for food and grass, Yang Mingzhong came here in a hurry. The army did not carry much food and grass, and Chen Ze happened to intercept a large amount of food and grass. Wan Dajun added for a month.

It is only a ten-day journey from here to the nearest city of Tell in Nantes Province, and this amount of supplies is completely sufficient.

In this way, the two soldiers divided into two groups, each going to a different location.

at the same time.

"My lord!"

Zhang Chengwang, who returned to the city lord's mansion, was waiting for the intelligence gathered from all sides. Intelligence personnel kept coming in and out, and the next one to come in was the scout sent to the outer gate of Bo'an City.

The outer city gate is the main city gate, facing the Nantes province, the place that Zhang Chengwang led his army to attack before.

"As expected by the commander, the road between us and the province of Nantes is indeed blocked by an enemy army!"

As soon as the scout entered the meeting hall, he hurriedly reported.

"What about the scale? How many?"

Zhang Chengwang asked in a deep voice, this was what he was most concerned about.

"About... seven to seven hundred thousand people!"

The scout hesitated for a moment, and reported a stammering number.

"perhaps?"

Zhang Chengwang frowned.

"My lord, the other party's tent is huge and the surrounding area is tightly fortified. The subordinates and brothers have spent a lot of effort, and can only roughly estimate this number, but the subordinates can guarantee that the number will not fluctuate too much."

The scout hurriedly replied, he also knew that this was an extraordinary period, so he was extremely cautious in speaking, not wanting to make Zhang Chengwang's bad luck.

"Seven hundred thousand……"

Zhang Chengwang frowned. To be honest, this number did not surprise him. On the contrary, it is normal to have so many troops.

"Want to catch me all at once?"

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly sneered, "Zheng Yuanyun, Zheng Yuanyun, then we have to see whether it is you or me!"
