The Era of Generals

Chapter 224   Occupying the Three Cities

Yang Mingzhong, a man who is big and thick, actually calls himself a younger brother in front of Chen Ze, which shows that he is in a good mood at this time.

His excitement was not without reason.

It was under Chen Ze's guidance that he brought half a million elite soldiers to attack Tel City in reverse, and succeeded in one blow!

Tell City is to the generals of Anluo Province, just like Zhang Chengwang's group of Zhu Yan generals are to Bo'an City. After many years of head-on confrontation, it has also become an obsession in the heart.

But now that this obsession has been broken by Yang Mingzhong, it is not difficult to imagine his excitement and excitement.

And with such a great achievement, after his class teacher returns to the court, Yang Mingzhong must be promoted to a noble rank. The general dare not think about it, but the general can definitely do it!

Commander!

Wouldn't he be on the same level as Bo'an City Lord Zheng Yuanyun?

Of course, Yang Mingzhong didn't mean to surpass Zheng Yuanyun, who wouldn't want to be promoted to the general army?

All of this was brought to him by Chen Ze!

He called "little brother" willingly.

Chen Ze also returned the gift of a general on horseback, and said with a smile, "Is General Yang's journey going smoothly?"

"It went well, of course it went well!"

Yang Mingzhong said excitedly: "To tell you the truth, Brother Chen, after you and I parted ways that day, we hardly encountered any decent resistance along the way, so we drove straight in and arrived at the city of Tel. how many?"

He winked at Chen Ze and played tricks.

"One hundred thousand?"

Chen Ze reported a number at random.

"Hahaha!"

Yang Mingzhong laughed wildly and spread his five fingers, "Fifty thousand, can't you think of it?"

"Only fifty thousand!"

"fifty thousand?"

Even Chen Ze was stunned by this number, and couldn't help but glance at the tall city wall of Tel City, which was not inferior to Bo'an City.

As a main city, there are only 50,000 defenders left?

Fifty thousand, I'm afraid it's not enough to stand on three towers, right?

In the face of Yang Mingzhong's 500,000 troops who came in a surprise attack, the 50,000 defenders would do nothing at all. If they surrendered on the spot, they would be considered loyal to the country.

But after thinking about it, I can also understand the reason why there are so few defenders in Tel City.

That was when the head coach Zhu Yan used up almost all of the troops in Nantes province, all under the Bo'an city, so that even the city of Tell was empty in defense.

Of course, the opponent's approach is also understandable. After all, Tell City is directly facing Bo'an City, and there is no nearby threat Tiger Vision on both sides. Otherwise, Coach Zhu Yan would not dare to make such a desperate move.

In fact, he invested more troops than Anluo Province, and as long as Bo'an City is strangled, it doesn't really matter how many troops there are in Tel City, as long as a small part of the defense is left, it may be lost. Bandits who sneak in will do.

That's just the meaning, in a major city like Tel City, how would ordinary bandits dare to come here to make trouble, otherwise, after the war is over, their heads will fall on the day of reckoning after autumn.

With these 50,000 defenders, it is actually enough.

Unexpectedly, Bo'an City not only chose to retreat from the city, but even dared to allocate such a large number of troops to raid Tel City at that time. Back to the carbine, Yang Mingzhong's 500,000 troops are just waiting to be dumped!

Of course, this is just an afterthought analysis, but the result is already doomed. Just looking at Yang Mingzhong's expression, he can tell how easily he won Tel City.

While ordering Xu Qing to lead the army to follow behind, Chen Ze and Yang Mingzhong rode side by side, as if thinking of something, he suddenly asked: "General Yang, according to the news received from Bo'an City, after you take down Tel City, The enemy troops who broke out from Bo'an City rushed back to support, so that you can't take all three cities?"

This question was asked knowingly, he clearly knew the movement of the millions of troops, this question was asked by Yang Mingzhong, but actually he asked it for someone behind him.

That person was Zongbing Luo who had changed his entourage's clothes and lowered the brim of his hat extremely low.

He had said at the beginning that after traveling with the army, he would not question any of Chen Ze's orders, and handed over all the action rights to Chen Ze.

At this time, if Yang Mingzhong noticed that there was a commander-in-chief here, no matter what, he would immediately take the dominant position. This was what Luo Zongbing didn't want, and it was also his promise to Chen Ze.

"Is there an enemy army?"

Yang Mingzhong was startled when he heard the words, scratched his head and said: "Perhaps there was a mistake in the transmission of information. I didn't encounter any enemy troops here. Not only that, I also divided up an army of 400,000 troops to attack the two cities of Ketan and Xili. , there was news back earlier that these two cities have also been taken!"

"Take it?"

This time it was Chen Ze's turn to be stunned, he couldn't help but glance at Yang Mingzhong, and said meaningfully: "General Yang's courage... is too big."

He only has a total of 500,000 troops, even if there is almost no loss in the siege, it is only 500,000.

As the main city of Tel City, apart from the army, there are also millions of civilians who live there. Such a huge number, even if there are half a million elite soldiers in the city, once a riot occurs, it may not be able to suppress it.

What's more, he actually allocated 400,000 troops to attack the other two cities, that is to say, the troops left behind in Yutel City were only 100,000!

Hundreds of thousands of people come to guard a big city with millions of civilians?

If you say that in Chen Ze's previous life, he was supported by powerful hot weapons, then maybe he can still do it. In this world, there are still only cold weapons such as knives, guns and sticks. The team asks you to chop with a knife, and you won't be able to finish chopping in a while.

When Chen Ze asked Yang Mingzhong to attack the three main cities of Nantes, he never thought that Yang Mingzhong would occupy all three cities.

Or, he can take down a city and stick to it, and when the crisis in Bo'an City is resolved, Zheng Yuanyun will send a large number of troops to help, and then it is time to launch a general offensive.

There is another way, but it is too cruel, that is... Burning the city!

Take a city, and don't take it yourself. After getting enough supplies for your army, set fire to the city to prevent Zhu Yan's army from retreating. Then go to the next city and burn the city until you capture the last one. After the city, it was just firmly defended, so that the three cities could be occupied with a force of 500,000.

But Chen Ze didn't say this method, he believed that Yang Mingzhong could get to this position, so he could see the key points clearly, he was free to choose between these two methods.

However, Yang Mingzhong didn't choose a method, but chose to divide and attack. He really wanted to occupy all three cities.

Can this really be done?

"It's not that I'm brave."

Yang Mingzhong was cheerful, pointed forward to where Tel City was, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen will know when he goes to the city to have a look."

"This battle not only severely damaged the vitality of our Anluo Province, but the situation in Nantes Province is not much better!"
