The Era of Generals

Chapter 411 - Decision

Ma Chong would be relieved, that's because he found out that he was hitting the wrong way, and the person he pulled over in a hurry actually knew him.

Being able to know Feng Ming means that this person was once in this army, so he probably sent him out before.

Unexpectedly, he could escape the catastrophe in this way, Ma Chong breathed a very relieved tone.

While Zheng Yuanyun was relieved, he also confirmed the identity of the scout, which would be of great help to his subsequent deployment.

However, how could he have imagined that the so-called confirmation of identity was actually just Ma Chong's guilty conscience, plus the scout's unilateral call to Brother Feng.

Everyone is going downhill, which eventually led to this seemingly happy situation.

"Go down first!"

Zheng Yuanyun waved his hand, causing Feng Ming to back down, then he gave Ma Chong a look, and said, "Be more careful about things like this in the future!"

In his heart, he misses his chief scout again. If it were Xiao Du, he would have been able to confirm the identity of this person as early as the first time. How could it take so much time?

But fortunately, the situation finally became clear.

After Ma Chongwei backed away obediently, Zheng Yuanyun asked Wang Hao: "Now you can say, what happened to you?"

Wang Hao struggled to get up from the stretcher, knelt on one knee and said, "Reporting to my lord, the little ones were sent by General Ma to investigate the rear, and it was calm until we came near Xilong City..."

"Xilong City?"

Zheng Yuanyun looked surprised, "Isn't it already burned?"

"Yes!"

Wang Hao responded first, and then said: "But our brothers just walked near Xilong City, and when we were worrying about how to cross the river, we saw a group of cavalry rushing towards us. Judging by the banner he was flying, it seemed to be Fengqi. The flag of the province."

"There are over a thousand cavalry in that group, and they have already discovered our position. We rushed over in such a hurry, and there are only a dozen of us brothers in total. There is no need to fight at all!"

As if remembering the dangerous situation at the beginning, Wang Hao's body trembled unconsciously, and he said for a long time: "Later, the brothers tried their best to protect me while fighting and fleeing, and finally escaped to the river, but except for the villain who successfully jumped In addition to escaping into the river, everyone else has already..."

"and after?"

How could Zheng Yuanyun be interested in listening to him talk about the tragedy at that time, but what he cared about was the origin of that group of cavalry, and asked: "Then, have you seen clearly where those cavalry went and how did they come out?" ?”

Wang Hao calmed down, and replied: "Fortunately, the villain grew up near the water, and his water skills are not bad. He has been diving in the water until the cavalry left before he dared to go ashore."

"Looking at the direction they are going, they should be coming this way. As for why they appeared near Xilong City, this villain doesn't know."

"However, just when the villain wanted to follow the other party's traces to see, on the other side of Xilong City, the villain found another army!"

Speaking of this, his expression suddenly became excited, and he said excitedly: "My lord, our reinforcements have arrived!"

"What did you say?"

Zheng Yuanyun raised his brows, and under the excitement, he rushed forward, lifted Wang Hao's collar and asked anxiously: "You said it was reinforcements!"

Wang Hao nodded hastily, and said, "My lord, although there is a river across the river, the villain can see very clearly that the army on the other side of the river is flying the flag of our Qingyang Empire!"

"And the general who leads the team, the villain has also served under his command before, and he will never admit his mistake!"

"The general's surname is Huang Mingshi, and he is a governor!"

Wang Hao hurriedly reported.

"Huang Shi?"

Zheng Yuanyun thought for a while and nodded. He knew this person, and he was also a local general in Anluo Province. He had met him once.

Since it is him, it is estimated that reinforcements have really arrived.

Can't help asking: "How many troops do they have, why didn't they come with you?"

Wang Hao immediately replied: "My lord, the side of Xilong City is already in ruins, especially the bridge from the other side of the river to Xilong City has not been repaired, so they can't come here for the time being."

Zheng Yuanyun frowned, and said angrily: "Didn't the general have ordered people to take those civilians to repair the traffic before, why is it still not smooth?"

Wang Hao was taken aback and hurriedly replied: "Returning to my lord, the villain did see someone repairing the moat bridge over there, but since there are no suitable materials in the local area, they need to go to a far away place In order to be transported back, in terms of time, it is indeed..."

"Fortunately, General Huang is also working hard together, and I believe the traffic will be restored soon!"

"As for the strength of the troops, the villain had a conversation with General Huang through the air. General Huang told the villain that there were about 500,000 people at the vanguard this time, and they were finally squeezed out from Anluo Province. As for the troops, as for the follow-up, he already knows that there are a total of 4 million troops from the two neighboring provinces marching towards the Nantes Province, and I believe they will set foot in the Nantes Province soon!"

"Five hundred thousand?"

Zheng Yuanyun relaxed a little, and it was not bad to get a supplement of 500,000 troops, which was enough to solve the current urgent need.

In other words, with these 500,000 troops in the rear, he no longer needs to be so timid in the front, and he can let go of his courage to touch Ouyang Lixing.

This is not counting the 4 million troops that will come from the two neighboring provinces, which will be his confidence in the future.

"Is what you said true?"

Knowing that the matter is of great importance, Zheng Yuanyun glared sharply, and then emphasized emphatically: "Do you know that this military aircraft is an important matter, if there is any concealment, do you know the consequences?"

Wang Hao's body was shocked, and he straightened up suddenly: "My lord, I, Wang Hao, dare to guarantee the lives of the whole family, and what I just said is absolutely true!"

"very good."

Zheng Yuanyun then slowly let go of his collar.

As for the cavalry that attacked Wang Hao earlier, Zheng Yuanyun didn't take it seriously.

The other party only has thousands of people, which is really not worth mentioning. It is very likely that Ouyang ordered them to stay near Xilong City to investigate the situation when Ouyang Lixing's large troops were transferred. Next, it is estimated that he hastened to find Ouyang Lixing.

Even if not, what can be done with this thousand cavalry?

In the face of absolute numbers, even if everyone of his cavalry rode like tigers, it would be impossible to defeat his huge force with one enemy ten thousand?

Thinking of this, Zheng Yuanyun no longer hesitated, and shouted: "Come here, treat this brother Wang well, and the rest of you, follow me back!"

They are still on the main road for transporting troops. After learning that there will be follow-up reinforcements, why would he hesitate?

There is no need to step on the trap set by Ouyang Lixing, just kill him all the way upright like this!
