The Era of Generals

Chapter 308   Combat and Leisure

Opportunities must be seized!

Chen Ze had already roughly guessed what the other party was thinking.

No, it should be what Ouyang Zongbing had in mind.

After he has the consciousness to gamble, Ouyang Zongbing will naturally consider a strategy that is most beneficial to his side.

For example, assume the worst case scenario.

What is the worst case?

Naturally, the Qingyang Empire and the Bailie Empire are still in a joint state, and sending envoys this time is a trick of the other side, trying to coax their own side to go out of the city to fight.

If this is the case, then what should Zhu Yan Empire do?

Procrastinating is a dead word, so you have to fight, this is for sure.

Then it would be better to use one trick and plan, pretending that one's own side is still hesitating, and has to make further confirmation with the Qingyang Empire, thus sending Xu Feng to Xifeng City.

In fact, Ouyang Zongbing did not hesitate, sending Xu Fenglai was also a move to stabilize the opponent, making the opponent think that this plan has not yet come true, and only waited for Chen Ze to persuade him to succeed.

In this way, Bai Lie and Qingyang are bound to relax their vigilance and focus on this negotiation, while General Ouyang's side is secretly planning to take advantage of this opportunity to go straight to Yan Haomiao's stationed troops , hit the opponent by surprise.

Before, Chen Ze felt strange why the Zhu Yan Empire only sent a school lieutenant to such an important meeting, instead of a higher-ranking general.

It turns out that the key is here.

Neither Chen Ze nor Xu Feng said anything clearly, but after thinking about this, both of them involuntarily looked in the direction where Yan Haomiao was.

There, or has it already started?

Both of them thought this way in their hearts, but neither of them clearly expressed what was in their hearts.

On the contrary, it was Xu Feng, who turned his gaze away from Yan Haomiao's direction, and looked at Chen Ze with a cold gaze.

"Then, Master Chen, how about we just stay here?"

As soon as he said this, he didn't seem to have any gestures, but the people who came behind him were all expressionless, and pressed their right hands to the handle of the knife.

Facing the sudden chill from the other party, Chen Ze's face was very calm, and he even waved his hand slightly behind him, signaling his subordinates not to act rashly.

He knew why Xu Feng and others were like this.

In fact, as I said so much just now, Xu Feng just wanted to procrastinate, but this time there is no delay, and Chen Ze has an insight into his real purpose, so...

Under the circumstances that Chen Ze, or the Qingyang Empire, could not be fully trusted, it would be a safer approach to keep Chen Ze and others here.

Keeping Chen Ze can prevent the Qingyang army from Xifeng City from rushing to help Yan Haomiao. Even if Chen Ze and others can't be kept here, at least they can grasp the other party's dynamics and use this to judge whether this matter is true.

Looking at the people brought by Xu Feng at this time, except for Mo Zhongping, although the other three people were not obvious, but when Xu Feng said that, the momentum of the three people suddenly changed, and they were like three people. The sharp edge of the blade may be unsheathed at any time.

Affected by this, Chen Ze's side, Gu Qingfeng, who is most sensitive to Qi, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stroked his waist with one hand, where there was a dagger that was deliberately painted black.

"General Xu doesn't have to be like this."

Chen Ze smiled faintly at the situation of swords drawn.

Just stay here?

no problem!

The other party was worried that there was some conspiracy between him and Yan Haomiao, but Chen Ze knew it very well, and there was no such thing.

What he wants is that Zhu Yan Empire no longer forbears but takes the initiative to attack. Now that the other party is acting as he wants, how can Chen Ze make troubles?

If you don't move, don't move.

He thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I don't care about it, I just wait here, but I would like to ask General Xu to send someone back to provide some food. Let's wait while we eat, what do you think?"

In short, it is idle, and it is not an option for everyone to wait here. His proposal can be regarded as a relaxation for himself, and at the same time, he wants Xu Feng to relax.

However, if he sent someone back to fetch food and drink, Xu Feng might become very nervous, so he might as well be more open-minded so that Xu Feng would not be so nervous.

"snort!"

At what time, the other party was still thinking about eating and drinking, Xu Feng was a little dissatisfied with this, but just as Chen Ze thought, this would really be good for everyone.

He didn't object, but turned his head and signaled to Mo Zhongping to go back to the barracks to get what he needed.

It can also be seen that the three soldiers who have been silent all this time are Xu Feng's biggest support this time.

The conversation was divided into two parts, while Chen Ze was leisurely waiting for Mo Zhongping to get his food back, but the other side could no longer be so leisurely.

And if that person knew about Chen Ze's situation, he would probably be outraged.

This person is Yan Haomiao.

He never thought that this battle would be so difficult!

He originally thought that the million-dollar army dispatched from Dongping City was impulsive due to differences of opinions, but he didn't expect that the other party came prepared, not as brainless as he imagined.

At the moment when the enemy army crossed the border, Yan Haomiao's side was already ready for battle, and because of the flat terrain, Yan Haomiao's first formation was the extremely powerful cavalry unit.

However, Yan Haomiao, who thought that the war was about to break out, was shocked to see that those nasty Zhu Yan soldiers also paused at the same time, changing from a continuously advancing posture to a defensive posture.

Just when Yan Haomiao couldn't see what the other party intended to do, suddenly dozens of hundreds of thick smoke billowed up in the sky.

That is……

"Back, back quickly!"

Yan Haomiao's eyes were fixed, and he instantly realized that this was a throwing stone attack from the opponent.

He didn't need to remind him that the cavalry brigade at the forefront of the battle had already tried their best to dodge when the burning stones rose from the sky.

Thanks to Yan Haomiao, considering that he came from a long distance, he is not suitable for marching with heavy cavalry, so all the troops are equipped with light cavalry, which is extremely flexible in terms of mobility.

When the two armies were confronting each other again, they paid close attention to the enemy's movements, so that they could react in the first place and avoid the powerful but slow attacking catapult attack.

"fight back!"

How could Yan Haomiao, who was relieved, give up, and sharply pointed forward with his long sword!

Following his movements, the Bailie Empire's catapult troops that had been prepared for a long time also opened fire instantly, and suddenly hundreds of catapults rose into the sky, roaring towards the Dongping City troops.

However, what made Yan Haomiao's eyes wide open suddenly was that the opponent seemed to have expected the counterattack, and at the same time he ordered the counterattack, he saw another change in the opponent's formation.

The dozens of towering arrow towers were pushed to the foreground, and the huge bowstrings sounded repeatedly. Even though they were far away, Yan Haomiao could hear his heart beating like a heavy hammer.

That is……
