The Era of Generals

Chapter 407 - Strange place

Right now, it is impossible for Ouyang Lixing to submit obediently to Zheng Yuanyun's threat, otherwise why would he come to Tianyuan City so eagerly?

What's more, Chen Ze had already told Ouyang Lixing through Chen Ming before that there was indeed an army from Anluo Province that entered Nantes Province, but that army was not Zheng Yuanyun's reinforcements, but his Chen Ming. Ze's reinforcements.

Although the two are both generals of the Qingyang Empire, there is of course a difference between the two.

Chen Ze had made it clear that it was his reinforcements, and Ouyang Lixing believed that of course they would not be reinforcements for Zheng Yuanyun.

Chen Ze is also about to act.

Although Chen Ming didn't say it clearly, Ouyang Lixing knew this very well. What he has to do now is to delay the time.

So he ignored Zheng Yuanyun's threatening words, instead he hooked his hands, signaling his subordinates to bring him a chair, sat down in an extremely comfortable posture, and held a cup of clear tea in his hand.

Youzai Youzai said: "Since none of us can persuade the other party to retreat, then let's not retreat."

"If General Zheng Shen is ready, he can start attacking the city now, and this general will take over."

"you……"

Zheng Yuanyun glared sharply, but he didn't expect Ouyang Lixing to be so reticent, so he snorted coldly and said: "General Soldier Ouyang can rest assured, I am not here just to say a few words to you , since we can't agree, let's see the real chapter!"

With that said, he turned his horse's head and returned to the formation.

Seeing Zhenzhang under his hands, it wasn't him, the general, who came to see him in person, and his own soldiers went through life and death for him.

"grown ups!"

Returning to the formation, Ma Chong, the general who temporarily replaced Xiao Du's scout job, hurried over and bowed his hands to Zheng Yuanyun.

"Stop talking nonsense, have you found out the situation?"

Zheng Yuanyun glared at him, the anger he received at Ouyang Lixing just now clearly needed a vent.

The general shook his body, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the situation around Tianyuan City is basically clear!"

It turns out that Zheng Yuanyun's dialogue with Ouyang Lixing also had the purpose of making a fool of himself.

In the process of dealing with Ouyang Lixing, he also wanted to attract the attention of the other party so that he could probe with his own hands.

"explain!"

Zheng Yuanyun said coldly.

"My lord, our brothers have inspected the three walls of Tianyuan City, and all of them have been built and expanded on the outside, and there are not many defenders at each gate, it's almost like..."

He thought for a while, and said, "It's like a tortoise shell, making it hard for people to talk."

"snort!"

Zheng Yuanyun said: "It's up to you to say that, Ouyang Lixing Baba has been on the road for so long, isn't he just wanting to lay the first line of defense in Tianyuan City?"

"This is!"

The general hurriedly said again: "But there is one thing that is very strange!"

"Um?"

Seeing Zheng Yuanyun looking over, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "My lord, Tianyuan City is blocked on the main road leading to the two subsequent cities, but it is not completely built across the road."

Zheng Yuanyun nodded. Of course he knew the geographical location of Tianyuan City. It has to be said that this was a small mistake when the city was first built.

From a purely military point of view, Tianyuan City is simply located in the middle of the road, and passers-by who greet them can only pass through the city, so it will naturally be better.

But it's a pity that Tianyuan City was built a little off, and it was even more than a hundred steps away from the official road, which left a gap for Zheng Yuanyun.

But at the beginning, this was not really a big problem.

The reason why Tianyuan City was built on the side was because once a war started, the army would have to go through the entire city to leave, which would be too troublesome.

After all, Tianyuan City is deep in the interior of Nantes Province, and there are dozens of cities in front of it, so the enemy can't fight it, and behind it is the neighboring province of our own empire, so there will be no threat.

Then the purpose of Tianyuan City's existence is actually to become a relay station for supplementing troops, of course it is as convenient as possible.

Leaving enough space for the army to facilitate marching was the consideration when selecting the site for Tianyuan City.

As a result, who would have thought that the Nantes Province had occupied a large area of ​​land in the Anluo Province back then, and even established three new main cities that have been standing until now. In terms of strength, the Nantes Province is actually even stronger.

However, this stronger one was defeated by someone, and now it is in crisis.

This traffic artery that was considered to facilitate the march of one's own army at the time has now become a convenience for the enemy's long-distance drive. It has to be said that it is a kind of irony.

Zheng Yuanyun has a map of the whole territory of Nantes Province, of course he knows the terrain here, but at the same time, he also knows that Ouyang Lixing will not turn a blind eye.

So he didn't have much hope at first, after all, even Tianyuan City has been rebuilt and its fortifications strengthened, but how could he leave the empty traffic arteries for him to use?

But who would have thought that the subordinate's report would involve this important path.

"What's so strange about that road?"

Zheng Yuanyun thought for a moment and asked.

"My lord, I have carefully checked around Tianyuan City. Except for the strengthened defense of Tianyuan City itself, they didn't deploy heavy troops on that main road, and they didn't even set up a blockade!"

The temporary scout will lead back.

"No card?"

Zheng Yuanyun's eyes dimmed, and he pondered: "Have you found out clearly, how could there be no defense there?"

"Don't let the other party have an ambush, and you don't know it at all?"

He stared at his subordinate with suspicion, and the color of doubt was obvious.

This person is not from a scout background, even in his army right now, there are very few real scouts, let alone one with experience like Xiao Du.

It's really hard to say how much the real situation can be detected by such a temporary scout team composed of ordinary soldiers.

"this……"

The general was ashamed and said: "To be honest, my lord, the younger one is also very suspicious of other arrangements, but the terrain of the main road is..."

He hesitated and said: "One side of the road is Tianyuan City, and the other side is a small stream. The surrounding environment is completely unobstructed. You can see whether there is an ambush at a glance."

"Unless the people of the Zhuyan Empire know how to escape from the ground, and all of them are buried in the ground waiting for us, otherwise..."

He paused, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, the villain dares to guarantee with his head that he didn't find any ambushes in it!"

What he said was resolute and even tragic.

But Zheng Yuanyun didn't believe him, on the contrary, the person he could pick out to be in charge of intelligence work at this time was naturally someone he trusted, but what he didn't trust was the other party's detection methods.

But since he dared to say that...

"Go, take me there to have a look."

Zheng Yuanyun said coldly.
