The Era of Generals

Chapter 314   The Temptation I Can't Resist

"Is he preparing?"

Yan Haomiao was obviously taken aback when he heard the report from his subordinates, and then frowned deeply.

Yan Haomiao didn't have much hope when he sent someone to find Chen Ze.

After all, since the last time Luo Zongbing came with reinforcements, although both sides did not say it clearly, they knew in private that the alliance they made verbally had disintegrated.

It's just that for different purposes, neither of them pierced the last layer of window paper.

Yan Haomiao stationed troops here, the Zhu Yan Empire did not dare to move lightly, the Qingyang Empire was scruples, and Chen Ze was firmly guarded in Xifeng City, the Zhu Yan Empire did not dare to retake it desperately, and the Bailie Empire was also scruples.

The two sides are horns of each other, which makes Zhu Yan Empire take care of it.

But at this time Zhu Yan Empire rushed out desperately, it was hard to say whether there was any shadow of Chen Ze in it.

Yan Haomiao couldn't figure it out, if the Zhuyan Empire didn't know that their alliance existed in name only, how could they have the courage to take the initiative to attack at the risk of losing Fengqi Province?

It was precisely because of this concern that he sent someone to test Chen Ze's attitude after the incident had come to an end.

In fact, there was no hope left. Finding out Chen Ze's attitude was just to let him make the final decision.

withdraw troops!

A missed opportunity is a missed opportunity. Yan Haomiao knew exactly what kind of mistake he had made, but now is naturally not a good time to review himself, as he has more important things to do.

He had to make a quick decision while his supplies and food were still sufficient.

To fight or to go?

In the case of a battle, as the opponent's fortifications are gradually completed, the chances of a decisive battle are getting slimmer and slimmer.

The Zhu Yan Empire did not force Yan Haomiao's army to drive into the interior of Nantes Province. They also knew very well that after losing this hard-won geographical advantage, the opponent could crush them to death just by virtue of their numbers. .

So it doesn't matter to them, as long as Yan Haomiao doesn't order to attack, just wait for them to see if they want to, and frantically build the fortification of the wall that is a sigh to Yan Haomiao under the eyes of the enemy.

So Yan Haomiao saw a tall and thick fortification rising on the ground.

By the time his subordinates reported Chen Ze's answer, he had even seen the engineers and soldiers of the Zhuyan Empire pouring copper oil on the outer wall of the repaired wooden fortifications.

This he-mother really built it as a city wall!

Yan Haomiao was already desperate in his heart. If he wanted to break through such a fortification, he would have to pay a huge price, not to mention that even after breaking through, he would still have to face the thick walls of Dongping City.

When the two phases equal each other, how many troops can he have left in the end?

This is still based on the fact that he can overcome two defenses in a row. If one fails, or the Qingyang Empire suddenly turns against the water, Yan Haomiao, who is under attack from both sides, will have to be defeated.

He has not forgotten that there is a person in the Qingyang Empire's camp who has a deep hatred against him, and this person's military rank and status in the Qingyang Empire are not low.

This person is General Luo!

Forced by the situation before, Zongbing Luo could only choose to let go of this grievance for the time being, but this does not mean that the two of them just laughed away their grievances.

Even because of the fact that he suppressed him with force at the beginning, Zongbing Luo was even more angry, and he just suppressed it forcibly.

Once there is an opportunity, even if Chen Ze doesn't want to, he will never let him go.

let's go.

Yan Haomiao already had the intention to retire, but at this moment, the news brought back by his subordinates was that Chen Ze was preparing?

Chen Ze...is preparing!

Is this true, or is Chen Ze just trying to deceive him?

What made Yan Haomiao hesitate was the benefit if what Chen Ze said was true.

The sentence that Chen Ze asked Wu Anguo to send back that he was preparing was not casually said, but a strategy that he decided after putting himself in Yan Haomiao's current situation.

First of all, this sentence is preparing instead of starting the army, which is worth thinking about for a long time for Yan Haomiao.

Calculated according to the time, from the time when Dongping City started to take the initiative to attack, to the brief battle between the two sides, and then to Yan Haomiao's retreat and seeing the other side build fortifications, the period of time was neither long nor short.

As for Chen Ze, there are enemy troops under Xifeng City, but the threat is not great, so Chen Ze should have scouts outside to check for news.

After the scouts discovered the situation, they returned to Xifeng City to report to Chen Ze. Finally, Chen Ze began to prepare troops, and the timing just coincided.

After all, as far as Xifeng City is concerned, if you want to send troops to help, you really need to be prepared. You have to break through the enemy camp outside the city before you can come.

A sentence being prepared is a very honest answer.

If Chen Ze said that he was already on the way, Yan Haomiao would not believe it at all.

So will Chen Ze really come?

Just as Chen Ze thought, Yan Haomiao also knew very well what kind of blow it would cause to the Zhu Yan Empire if Chen Ze sent troops to cooperate with him internally and externally.

No matter how strong the fortifications are, they can only take care of one side in such a short period of time. It is impossible for both sides to be equally strong. If Chen Ze can launch an attack from the inside, the difficulty will be reduced exponentially.

Once this is true, it can become the winner of the whole battle!

With the help of Chen Zezhi, Yan Haomiao is confident that he can take over the entire Fengqi Province in one fell swoop by relying on his previous plan!

This temptation was not insignificant, it was so big that Yan Haomiao was sure that he doubted Chen Ze's words in his heart, but he didn't want to let it go easily.

Even in his mind, he was subconsciously looking for reasons for Chen Ze's actions.

For example, although there were conflicts between the two, they did not really erupt after all, and Chen Ze currently occupied Xifeng City in Fengqi Province, which was a great achievement for him.

And if Yan Haomiao retreated, the Zhuyan Empire without enemies would definitely turn around and attack Xifeng City. At that time, Chen Ze couldn't stand it anymore. With his lips dying and his teeth cold, it was not impossible for him to make this decision.

For another example, Chen Ze was thinking for himself. After conquering Fengqi Province, the news that the Zhuyan Empire lost two provinces will spread throughout the continent at an extremely fast speed, and everyone will know that on this continent, A new military star has risen.

Once famous all over the world, although Chen Ze is a man with a quick mind, he is still young after all, and it is not impossible to resist the temptation of being famous.

How many years has it been since the mainland has had a major incident in which a province of a certain country has been laid down?

And as a small co-leader, behind the loss of the two major provinces of the Zhuyan Empire, there is Chen Ze's shadow. What kind of honor is this?

He...maybe he really wanted to...
