The Era of Generals

Chapter 381   Desperate Madness

"My own people?"

Ning Zhenggang frowned, not as optimistic as the captain.

One's own people, that is, reinforcements.

Will reinforcements arrive? Doesn't he, the coach, not know?

In fact, even if there were reinforcements, they would definitely be intercepted by Ouyang Lixing on the road, and then taken to the rear border to set up formations.

At the beginning, Ouyang Lixing said that he could delay as long as he could. From this sentence, we can know that no reinforcements will come to Xilong City to support him.

What's more, if it was reinforcements, why didn't they even answer the question three times?

some of……

"You, quickly send someone to look at the south gate!"

Ning Zhenggang, who knew something was wrong, hurriedly sent people to investigate at the south gate, thought for a while, and hurriedly said: "There are two gates, the east and the west, and send people to look at them separately!"

"Once something happens, immediately use the ringing arrow as a sign, and there must be no mistakes!"

The uneasiness in my heart is getting bigger and bigger. Where did this unknown army come from?

Could it be...

He looked down the city, and looked across the river to the distance. There, by the faint light of the fire, he could clearly see that Zheng Yuanyun's army was still in full formation, but...

The feeling of uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious, and he couldn't help but finally set his sights on the river.

Water...Where's water?

Ning Zhenggang's complexion changed drastically, and only then did he notice that apart from the mountain of corpses in the river, the water flow was pitifully small!

how come?

He looked upstream, but he couldn't see very clearly because of the sky, but with the faint moonlight, he could still see the sparkling waves reflected on the water, which was too low!

Is it possible...

Someone cut off the flow upstream?

This discovery made Ning Zhenggang feel that a huge stone hit his heart heavily, and the pain caused him to stop breathing for half a breath.

upstream...

Ning Zhenggang's discovery was not even verified by Chen Ze, because there was no need for it.

Before that, Zheng Yuanyun sent 100,000 cavalry to the upstream position, trying to control the dam.

But because Chen Ze thought of this first, when Zheng Yuanyun's cavalry unit had just set off, Chen Ze had already let Zhang Hualin rush over, cut off the dam, and released a surging water flow.

But those cavalry never came back, so what were they doing upriver?

Right now, Chen Ze is sure that Xilong City will be destroyed, so that there is no need to investigate anymore. He just asked Zhang Hualin to find a way to hide by Zheng Yuanyun's side again, but he can probably guess what those cavalry will do.

Move stones or cut trees, and throw them all into the river to block the river!

The scale of 100,000 people is not small, and they can build a temporary dam in a short time to block the river.

After such a long time, under the effect of such a two-pronged approach, the river water that can flow from the upstream will naturally be greatly reduced, and this will also cause the downstream to become depleted of water.

Therefore, it is self-evident where those unknown troops belong.

That is……

Ning Zhenggang's face was ashen. When he thought of this possibility, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the original truth of the matter.

No wonder, no wonder!

He stared coldly at the other side of the river, as if he could see Zheng Yuanyun directly from here.

No wonder he seemed to be inactive all the time, after all he was careless!

No, this is not careless!

Ning Zhenggang knew very well in his heart that he only had so many troops at hand, and he could not take care of the tail. If he still wanted to take care of both ends in such a severe situation, he would only lose faster.

The opponent's strategy doesn't need him to be aware of it or not.

So what if you notice it?

With the strength of Zheng Yuanyun, he casually sent a troop upstream to cut off the water flow, how could he stop it?

With the strength of Zheng Yuanyun, he casually sent a troop to wade downstream and cross the river, and then touched the other three gates of Xilong. How could he stop it?

In the end, his strength is only enough to defend the city gate on one side. If Xilong City didn't have a natural geographical advantage, he might have been defeated long ago!

Zheng Yuanyun...

This person is not as stupid as I thought!

It's not just a trash who only sacrifices the lives of his own soldiers to act recklessly!

While attacking head-on, he was also planning secretly. In the end, when he thought he was sure of winning, what awaited him was a disastrous defeat!

Didn't the city gate sound a gold warning?

Then there should be no more warnings.

Zheng Yuanyun made so many secret arrangements, how could he not have thought about how to attack the three city gates with basically zero defense capabilities?

It is estimated that when the commander rushed back to report the news, the south gate...maybe two gates, the east and the west, should have been...broken, right?

Just as Ning Zheng let out a long breath, his brows became serious immediately.

So what if it's broken?

If you die, you will also pull on your back!

"Launch, give me a hard hit!"

Ning Zhenggang, whose veins were exposed on his face, only felt a surge of resentment in his chest. The anger rushed to his forehead, and he immediately raised his right hand high and slashed down fiercely!

The trebuchet troop that had been ready for a long time immediately blasted the sky with artillery fire, and countless catapults burning with strong flames pierced the sky. This time, the target that Ning Zhenggang wanted to pull back was the one who was still struggling. The 70,000 sword shield hand.

It was clear that these soldiers were abandoned by Zheng Yuanyun, and whether they were killed or not had no effect on his plan in the slightest.

And what about myself?

Killing or not killing has no effect on the fact that Xilong City is about to be destroyed.

Killing them is purely to vent one's breath for oneself.

And this tone was not effective.

Although Ning Zhenggang with a ferocious face was already insane, his remaining rationality kept reminding him that it was useless.

Useless is useless, but how can you swallow this breath?

beat!

kill!

The last craziness!

In the blood and fire, Ning Zhenggang's desperate face was reflected.

Ketan City.

Chen Ze sighed slightly and shook his head.

Ning Zhenggang's madness can also be understood, and anyone who is in his perspective will be crazy.

Not everyone can bear the taste of falling from the clouds.

What was originally thought to be a big victory, but in the end it was a big defeat. He fell suddenly from a very high place. It is not an exaggeration for Ning Zhenggang to say that he went crazy on the spot.

understandable.

But Chen Ze couldn't help but sigh for those soldiers who died in vain, and the soldiers who were about to die in vain.

In troubled times, human life is worthless, but these soldiers paid their own lives for the military exploits of high-ranking generals.

And after the incident, who else will remember their efforts?

What people are praising is only the great achievements of the generals.
