The Era of Generals

Chapter 331   Strictly guard against death

"Brother Chen, this old man Yan Haomiao is really as you think, he dare not hit us here."

Facing the rear formation of the Bailie Empire, Chen Ze and President Luo rode side by side. President Luo was very happy at the moment, as if enjoying a wonderful performance, watching the battle ahead with satisfaction.

Of Yan Haomiao's movements, scouts were constantly shuttled between the two sides, reporting the latest battle situation to Chen Ze and Luo Zongbing.

Especially for the fact that Yan Haomiao personally served in the rear army, it was the focus of the report.

It stands to reason that when the other party's coach went to the rear to take command, one would think that the main attack target of the Bailie Empire would be Chen Ze, but when General Luo raised this doubt, Chen Ze answered him.

Only then did Zongbing Luo notice that Yan Haomiao's men had come, but what he was organizing was not an attack, but a defense with all his strength.

In other words, he was just buying time.

And why he wants to buy time at this time, the purpose is self-evident.

Of course, the reason why Chen Ze has such an analysis and can be so sure is that apart from observing the battle situation, the most intuitive thing is the map of the system.

From the scouts who arranged to sneak into the battle situation, Chen Ze could intuitively see that a large number of soldiers belonging to the Bailie Empire were gathering at the fortifications.

It is worth mentioning that the general star system of the Bai Lie Empire is no longer green representing allies, but has become a blue light spot. On the contrary, the soldiers of the Zhu Yan Empire have green dots on the map. trend.

From the map, Chen Ze had a complete insight into Yan Haomiao's thoughts, but for this, he only smiled indifferently.

Want to take Xifeng City and defend it?

This direction did not exceed Chen Ze's expectations.

In fact, under the current situation, there are not many ways out for Yan Haomiao, just those few.

Either advance, retreat, or...surrender.

Jin, he can only go head-to-head with the Zhu Yan Empire and lay down fortifications, but he still needs to guard against the ensuing increase of troops from the other side, as well as the attack of his own troops after they approach the city, so Yan Haomiao does not dare to stay longer at the fortifications .

So where can he go after entering Fengqi Province?

Xifeng City, which was abandoned by him, would be the only choice, unless Yan Haomiao was determined to fight to the death and lose both sides with the Zhuyan Empire, then he would choose to attack Dongping City.

And if you retreat, there is actually no way out.

Yan Haomiao not only had to face the blockade of his own army, but also had to face the army of the Qingyang Empire that arrived later, there would be no retreat at all.

Not to mention surrendering, as the supreme commander of Mohe province, Chen Ze believed that Yan Haomiao still had this bit of backbone. He would rather die in battle than surrender.

Then the opponent's actions are easy to guess.

It is Xifeng City without a doubt!

But the matter may make Yan Haomiao feel desperate.

Assuming that he really broke through the fortifications of the Zhu Yan Empire that were weakened due to carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, and let him rush to Xifeng City, what Yan Haomiao saw was no longer an empty city.

It's a...abandoned city!

Now that he had guessed Yan Haomiao's plan, of course Chen Ze would not be without countermeasures.

No matter what, he would not let Yan Haomiao have a way to go.

Therefore, when he evacuated from Xifeng City, he ordered his subordinates to do something cruel to both Bai Lie and Zhu Yan.

Burn the city!

If you can't get it, destroy it. Although I feel a little sorry for Xu Feng's heartfelt words to him that day, Chen Ze still resolutely chose to set fire to Xifeng City!

Fortunately, Chen Ze had ordered people to drive out all the people in Xifeng City. When his army left, the city was empty and it was basically an empty city.

Burning the city, that is, burning supplies, Chen Ze left suddenly, and he couldn't bring much luggage with him, so he ordered people to take away as much supplies, food and grass as possible without affecting the marching speed, and the rest could not be taken away. Yes, it was all burnt down.

In this way, although Zhu Yan Empire would jump to scold his mother afterwards, Yan Haomiao was even more furious here.

What Chen Ze fought was his rear army, what was the most in the imperial army?

The most food supplies!

After the baptism of the originally sufficient materials, there would be nothing left behind, so Yan Haomiao's desperate struggle, the basis he can rely on is the large amount of materials left in Xifeng City.

This move was the ultimate trick that made Yan Haomiao unable to cry!

So after seeing Yan Haomiao's decision, Chen Ze was not in a hurry at all. Even when the other party put up a repelling formation to guard against his elite cavalry, Chen Ze even ordered Meng Yang not to charge too high. The first priority is to preserve troops.

To put it bluntly, he has already done what he can do. At this time, he is not facing the protagonist, but just a bystander.

After blocking Yan Haomiao's escape route, there was no need for Chen Ze to choose to pursue and fight fiercely, which would cause his side to lose too much troops.

He just needs to watch the fire from the other side.

With this in mind, Chen Ze had no intention of sending more troops to Meng Yang, and let him lead the 50,000 cavalry to charge across the opponent's rear.

Even because of Yan Haomiao's command, Bai Lie's soldiers' emotions stabilized a bit, and their morale was restored due to the sharp drop in casualties after the formation of the formation, so that the range that Meng Yang could charge was gradually shrinking.

Chen Ze didn't care about this at all, all he had to do was defend his own front, and not let Yan Haomiao change his mind when he felt that there was an opportunity.

As for Yan Haomiao...

"Damn kid!"

How could the reduction in the enemy's attack frequency escape Yan Haomiao's eyes? Chen Ze's intentions were understood with just a slight turn of his thoughts, and that was why he cursed.

Although Yan Haomiao didn't know the fact that Xifeng City had become a sea of ​​flames, he also knew that Chen Ze made it clear that he wanted to trap him to death, and really didn't leave him any way out!

Originally, according to Yan Haomiao's mind, it was true that the front army attacked the Zhu Yan Empire, but he himself was in charge of the rear army. As long as he felt that there was a slight chance, he would choose to change from the front to the back without hesitation. Break through Chen Ze's blockade and escape from birth.

Zheng Yuanyun hasn't arrived yet!

Yan Haomiao guarded this message tightly, as long as Zheng Yuanyun hadn't arrived, if he could make a time difference, he might not be able to rush out of Nantes Province before Zheng Yuanyun arrived!

However, Chen Ze was not prepared to leave him even such a small chance.

The large number of troops he had at hand did not take the opportunity to tear through the defensive formation temporarily set up by Yan Haomiao, but strictly guarded against it, forming a blockade around it, not giving him any chance to escape!
