The Era of Generals

Chapter 226   Nothing to do

When I came to Tel City, it took five days in a flash.

If, as Yang Mingzhong said, there were no riots in Tell City, the civilians in Tell City have always been calm towards the invaders.

Although the rejection of the Qingyang Empire can be seen in this tranquility, it is only rejection, not hostility.

This once made Chen Ze feel puzzled.

It is said that although there are frictions between the two countries, such things as directly occupying the city are rare. The people in their respective cities should be extremely loyal to their own country.

After understanding, I found out that Zhang Chengwang took a very long time to prepare for this attack. In order to ensure that Bo'an City could be captured in one fell swoop, he did his best to search the Nantes province. During this time, it took at least half a year. Since then, the civilians have been exploited by him to the point where they have almost nothing to eat.

That's not counting.

Of the more than two million soldiers under Zhang Chengwang's command, at least half were originally from the Nantes province, and even from the city of Tell.

These soldiers are the sons, husbands, and fathers of the people in the city, and they are the pillars of the family.

But because of Zhang Chengwang's eagerness for quick success and the obsession in his heart that he must build Bo'an City in his lifetime, the pillars of countless people's homes collapsed.

When Zhang Chengwang summoned his troops, no one stopped him.

After years of fighting, the territory of the four empires has already been stabilized. Although there is constant friction between them, no one can take advantage of the other.

Moreover, Bo'an City is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is not easy for Zhang Chengwang to succeed with one blow, not to mention taking such a huge risk and consuming so many resources.

To fight is to fight money, but also to fight people.

This defeat directly caused more than half of the soldiers to be buried in a foreign country, and the other half is still alive and dead. It can be said that none of the more than two million soldiers taken out by Zhang Chengwang can return to their homeland.

How can this prevent the common people from being hurt?

Speaking of hatred, the Qingyang Empire, which slaughtered these soldiers with its own hands, is certainly hateful, but was Zhang Chengwang responsible for this?

Hatred, more of a hatred for Zhang Chengwang, this hatred went beyond the sense of belonging to the empire, and even magnified it, isn't this the pain that the Zhuyan Empire brought them?

Allowing the enemy to occupy the city without resisting is not a kind of revenge mentality, revenge for Zhang Chengwang who ruined their family, and also revenge for the Zhu Yan Empire who appointed Zhang Chengwang as the lord of Tell City and the coach of Nantes Province.

After understanding this, Chen Ze sighed deeply.

Zhang Chengwang was responsible for the tragic situation in Tel City, but at the same time, it was also caused by himself.

If it wasn't for his appearance, perhaps Zhang Chengwang's plan of ambush would have been successful, and more than half of the soldiers in Nantes province would not have died in the city of Bo'an.

But so what?

It's just that the people in another city are sad.

In war, one or both parties will suffer the pain of life and death, unless... there is no war.

The thought that popped up in his mind made Chen Ze stunned for a while, and then he could only smile helplessly.

It seems too early to think about this.

Chen Ming had returned to Tel City two days ago and joined Chen Ze.

He followed Chen Ze's instructions straight away for a radius of ten miles, until the traces faded and were almost undetectable.

Long before Chen Ming came back, Chen Ze had already seen the results of the investigation from the system map, but he didn't see anyone.

If you want to enter the province of Nantes, you can only enter the three main cities on the front. In addition, the province of Nantes is higher than the province of Anluo, and the steep mountain wall cannot be climbed by manpower. .

Of course, just to be on the safe side, he dispatched the dozen or so Xuanjia elites to spread out in small groups to the inner areas on both sides of Tel City.

It's not that I want them to do the work of scouts, but just to light up the map.

Jiangxing system, which is so convenient to cheat, is one of the few functions that can really provide convenience to Chen Ze without cheating him. If Chen Ze can use it, he should use it quickly. Maybe one day the system will have a convulsion. He is really going crazy if he charges for some functions.

Therefore, although Chen Ze was sitting in the city, his field of vision was extremely wide, almost covering the surrounding areas of the three main cities.

At least so far, he hasn't noticed any movement by the enemy, whether it's the scattered millions of troops or the enemy troops from within the province of Nantes.

They still hold the city securely.

And three days ago, news came from Bo'an City that Zheng Yuanyun, who had stabilized the city's defenses, had finally dispatched an army of over one million and was advancing in the direction of Tell City.

Calculating the time, Zheng Yuanyun dispatched the army about four days after Chen Ze led his troops to leave. Of course, the speed of the million-strong army is not as fast as that of Chen Ze's army, but it will not be too slow. It is estimated that there will be another five In a few days, the big troops should arrive.

Once these millions of troops enter the city, it will really be stable.

With sufficient manpower, not to mention sticking to the three cities that have already been obtained, it is not impossible to attack other affiliated cities that are also insufficient in defense forces.

If Zheng Yuanyun's heart is more wild, and he sends a large number of troops who have not yet evacuated Bo'an City to Nantes Province one after another, he can completely take Nantes Province into his pocket before the Zhuyan Empire finishes mobilizing troops, and become a youth leader. The new map of the Yang Empire!

Of course, this was Zheng Yuanyun's matter, and Chen Ze didn't have any thoughts about it, and he deeply understood that Zheng Yuanyun would not let him have any thoughts.

He takes his city, and he takes his own soldiers. This is what everyone needs.

Yang Mingzhong's attitude towards Chen Ze has completely changed. From secretly looking down on Chen Ze at the beginning, to now he has to ask Chen Ze for everything. He is completely convinced by Chen Ze.

If Yang Mingzhong's military rank was not much higher than him, Chen Ze would really like to use a magnifying glass to see how loyal Yang Mingzhong is to him at this time.

All in all, after coming to Tel City, Chen Ze enjoyed a rare leisure time. He wandered around the exotic Tel City every day, went to the barracks to check the training situation of the soldiers, and then studied beheading tactics with Gu Qingfeng and others. It can be said to be extremely comfortable to exercise and exercise the body along the way.

However, this comfort was broken two days later with a fast horse entering the city.

This is a light horse that came to Tell City from the interior of Nantes Province. The man on the horse is the scout sent by Yang Mingzhong to investigate the movements of other cities in the province.

Not long after he entered the city, another four or five people rushed out of the Tel City Lord's Mansion temporarily occupied by Yang Mingzhong, and went to various places in the city where Chen Ze liked to stay recently.

In the end, they found Chen Ze who was fighting with Gu Qingfeng and others in the barracks.
