The Era of Generals

Chapter 228   Exploration Mission

"Could it be that the one million army that broke out from Bo'an City sneaked back?"

Yang Mingzhong asked worriedly.

Although he was far away in Tel City, he was of course concerned about the war in Bo'an City. After Chen Ze came, he also told him what happened after he left, so Yang Mingzhong naturally knew the existence of this million-strong army.

That's what he's worried about.

After all, the province of Nantes is the opponent's home field, and there may be some secret passages that they don't know about. What if the remaining million troops are not scattered into countless bandit teams as Chen Ze speculated, but instead Whole piece, sneaked back to the province of Nantes and hid?

Otherwise, since there are millions of them, why should they hold back?

It must be that the troops have not yet assembled, so they have been enduring in the canyon.

If that's the case, things are going to get pretty bad.

Because if the millions of troops were not reinforcements from Fengqi Province, then there would be no risk of Fengqi Province risking its own lack of troops in order to support Nantes Province, and the Bailie Empire would not be able to do so. Can take advantage of this opportunity.

And when the army is assembled, one can imagine how crazy this army will be after a big defeat in Bo'an City.

Enemies are jealous when they meet each other, and the other party has occupied the three main cities of their own family. As a soldier, how can this be tolerated?

Once the opponent launches a frenzied attack regardless of consumption, maybe not two cities will be lost, but three, and even Tel City will not be spared!

If even the city of Tel was lost, Yang Mingzhong's credit for getting it safely would be gone. He didn't want this cooked duck to just fly away, but in the end it was nothing.

But the more he thought about it, the more Yang Mingzhong felt that it was possible, especially in terms of the number of opponents, he could also match up.

"No, it will never be that army!"

However, what he was worried about was flatly denied by Chen Ze.

An army of up to one million sneaked in from under his nose?

When he was frowning and thinking, Chen Ze had already pulled out more than a dozen maps of Xuanjia elites and read them carefully.

There are still red dots representing one's own army, but none of the blue dots representing the enemy.

You must know that the maps that Chen Ze arranged for the Xuanjia elites to light up are all the weak points on the topographic map of Nantes Province that are most likely to sneak into. Other than that, they are all steep mountains, and some places are even more difficult for birds to cross.

Even if someone in the million-strong army is a master climber, it's impossible for everyone to be.

Furthermore, Yang Mingzhong was worried about whether the other party knew something they didn't know about the secret passage unique to Nantes province, and Chen Ze didn't think so.

It's only been a few days?

An army of over one million sneaked back into the province through a secret passage?

So how big should this secret passage be to be enough for a million troops to march quickly?

So all their scouts are blind?

The last time he led 30,000 elite soldiers to sneak out from the secret passage of Bo'an City, it took a day and a night. It is hard to imagine that there are hidden and open secret passages around Nantes Province.

Chen Ze dared to conclude that these troops hidden in the canyon would never be the one that broke out from the encirclement of Bo'an City.

Of course, because of the system map, he did not explain to Yang Mingzhong in detail why he was so sure.

"If it wasn't that army, where did these soldiers come from?"

Yang Mingzhong shook his head, he couldn't think of any other explanation.

To say that this troop was really sent from Fengqi Province, unless Fengqi's coach is stupid, he would do so.

Chen Ze did not answer Yang Mingzhong's question, but after thinking about it, he said, "General Yang, I want to lead the army over there to have a look."

"you?"

Yang Mingzhong frowned, and couldn't help but carefully looked at Chen Ze, as if he wanted to see if the other party was joking.

It is undeniable that Yang Mingzhong admired Chen Ze, otherwise he would not have invited Chen Ze here as soon as the scouts reported back.

But what he admired was Chen Ze's wise plan.

From Chen Ze's eloquent debate in the city lord's mansion at the beginning, to his series of schemes, and finally not to be greedy or to take possession, he made himself fully responsible for capturing the three cities of the enemy.

Regarding this aspect, Yang Mingzhong really admires it, but when it comes to marching and fighting...

In his eyes, Chen Ze is just a first-class co-leader after all, he was born as a counselor, and when it comes to marching and fighting, he is definitely not comparable to him as a governor.

Chen Ze took the initiative to ask Ying to lead his troops to investigate. If the enemy found out and the two sides clashed, Yang Mingzhong was confident that if he had an army of one hundred thousand, even if the opponent had a million troops, he would fight back and retreat. It is still possible to go to the city, but if it is Chen Ze, I am afraid that he will have to explain where he is.

It wasn't that he looked down on Chen Ze, but that Yang Mingzhong believed that a counselor was not suitable for leading troops to fight because of his deep-rooted concept for a long time.

"General, you can rest assured that I'm only here for investigation, and I will never confront the opponent head-on. The reason why I lead the troops is also to be on the safe side. First, I will transport some soldiers to Ketan City. In case the opponent attacks the city, it's okay There is a response."

"And this matter can only be done by me."

Chen Ze paused, seeing that Yang Mingzhong was about to say something, he suddenly smiled and said: "The city of Tel was captured by the general, and the general's prestige here is the highest, and he is the most convincing. .”

"With you guarding Tel City, the situation can be suppressed. If you leave, relying on me alone or your confidants, I am afraid that I will be powerless. If Ketan City has not checked It is clear that there is another disturbance in Tel City, then we will be crying without tears."

What he said was well-founded, and he even patted Yang Mingzhong's flattery a little. The latter nodded repeatedly and sighed: "I didn't expect that it was just an investigation of the military situation, and there were so many detours in it. It seems that this matter should really be handled by Brother Chen!"

Chen Ze cupped his hands and said, "Although that's the case, the general should be more careful when staying in Tel City. In addition..."

He straightened his face and emphasized: "The news that a large number of unknown troops have been found in the direction of Ketan City should not be passed on to the fourth person, lest people with good intentions in Tel City take the opportunity to instigate trouble!"

"I'm going to take away 100,000 soldiers under my own banner. If the general stays in Tel City, only 100,000 soldiers are available. Please be careful about this!"

This time point is a bit embarrassing, just as the follow-up army stuck in Bo'an City is about to arrive, but time does not allow Chen Ze to wait any longer, the army with unknown intentions over Ketan City may attack the city at any time If he doesn't go there immediately, once the military plane is almost missed, it will be very difficult to make up for it.

"Brother Chen can rest assured, I have my brother in Tel City, and I will never lose it!"

Yang Mingzhong slapped his chest loudly, and said to himself: "If they want to make trouble, they will come and watch!"
