The Era of Generals

Chapter 416   In the same boat

"Send the order, the whole army is ready to attack the city!"

After ordering the messenger soldiers to issue another command to notify the reinforcements to arrive quickly, Zheng Yuanyun turned around and stared sharply at the head of Tianyuan City.

Now that it is clear that there are indeed reinforcements in the rear, there is obviously no need for him to bother with that suspicious troop transport route.

It is clear there that the other party must have a conspiracy to deploy, so why should he jump into the pit again?

Since the quality of the soldiers is superior and there are reinforcements as a supplement, Zheng Yuanyun certainly doesn't want to take that risk and bet on the opponent's strategic deployment.

Wouldn't it be better to just crush them all the way upright?

There was a sneer on Zheng Yuanyun's face. Ouyang Lixing's state before made him very unhappy, but now, it seems that the time has come for the other party to taste his strength.

Play tricks with him?

He will make Ouyang Lixing feel what despair is!

After confirming that the second loud arrow was also shot, Zheng Yuanyun didn't hesitate any longer. He drew out the sword at his waist and shouted sharply: "Brothers, let's fight south and north. Now the victory is already in sight. We just need to attack again." Behind this temporarily reinforced Tianyuan City, there is a flat river!"

"We have fought so many difficult battles, will we still be blocked by a small Tianyuan City?"

"Answer me, will you?"

In the last sentence, he almost used all his strength to yell, and at the same time pointed his sword at Ouyang Lixing who was sitting leisurely and alone at the head of Tianyuan City.

"Won't!"

"Serve the Empire!"

"Break them down!"

Responding to him was the soldiers shouting with all their might.

I have come to the present, what kind of life and death have I not seen?

What kind of enemy has never been beheaded?

What kind of city...hasn't been slaughtered?

In the hands of Zheng Yuanyun, the army of over one million has already become a ruthless killing machine. At this time, when he heard his order, there was no fear on the faces of the soldiers. It's the killing intent!

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

In an instant, the war drums vibrated, the soldiers shouted loudly, and the originally calm Tianyuan City suddenly shouted to kill and shake the sky!

At this moment, the head of Tianyuan city.

Even after seeing the shocking scene of over a million soldiers outside the city, Ouyang Lixing's face did not change much.

At most, he just stood up from the chair and said with a smile: "It seems that this guy has taken the bait."

Beside him, Chen Ming nodded slightly, and said with the same smile: "General Ouyang and my son are both people who have no plans. With the two of you here, it will be difficult for Zheng Yuanyun to think about it."

Ouyang took a sharp look at him, "Are you praising me or your son?"

What Chen Ming said was right, Tianyuan City was indeed a trap prepared for Zheng Yuanyun, but the person who made this suggestion was Chen Ze, and Ouyang Lixing only approved Chen Ze's suggestion after weighing the pros and cons.

As the first city of the three cities on the border of Nantes, Tianyuan City is also the city with the most obvious geographical advantage because it is located on a major traffic road.

Because of the existence of that military route, Chen Ze made a suggestion.

That is, to bring all the troops back into Tianyuan City, and instead give up defending that main road.

When Ouyang Lixing heard about this strategy at first, he naturally resisted.

What is he here for?

Isn't it just to save the last breath of the province of Nantes and facilitate the Zhuyan Empire's dispatch of reinforcements in the future?

So the most important thing here, isn't that the main way to transport troops?

It can be said that Tianyuan City can actually be lost, but how can this important way of transporting troops be lost?

Originally, according to Ouyang Lixing's intention, he didn't even want to stick to Tianyuan City, but deployed heavy troops to guard the main roads for transporting troops, and attacked Zheng Yuanyun first.

Of course, he won't stick to it, if he finds that something can't be done, he will immediately retreat to the river behind and retreat city by city. In the way of fighting and retreating, Ouyang Lixing will stick to the last city in the end.

But Chen Ze actually asked him to put all his troops, excluding the necessary defensive resources in the rear, a total of more than two million troops, into Tianyuan City?

Could it be that Chen Ze still wants to fight a decisive battle with Zheng Yuanyun here?

Of course Ouyang Lixing is unwilling to do this, and even he understands that he is the last hope of the entire Nantes province. Shouldn't this last hope be fought to the end?

But after Chen Ming explained to him the reason why Chen Ze made such a suggestion, he remained silent.

Ouyang Lixing has always been known for his foresight. The reason why he didn't agree with Chen Ze's suggestion was because he took a risk. But when Chen Ming only said one sentence, the rear reinforcements that Zheng Yuanyun thought were not actually after the reinforcements, he immediately suddenly see the light.

Isn't Zheng Yuanyun's daring to fight because his reinforcements will be faster than those dispatched by the Zhu Yan Empire?

It is precisely because of this that he can attack cities and loot land all the way here regardless of consumption.

Otherwise, no matter how good the quality of Zheng Yuanyun's soldiers is, after all, he is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. If he really wants to fight one less, do you think Zheng Yuanyun dares to fight?

So the focus is on reinforcements.

Which side's reinforcements are in place first, which side will win the final victory.

At this time, it is very clear that Zhu Yan Empire will not have any extra reinforcements arriving for the time being. In terms of reinforcements, Ouyang Lixing himself is the reinforcements. The empire even sent an ambassador to guard Ouyang Lixing. A tight situation.

Everyone knew that the Zhuyan Empire could not bring out any more reinforcements right now, so after Zheng Yuanyun believed that reinforcements were on the way, he could of course fight more aggressively.

But what if Zheng Yuanyun thought that the reinforcements he thought were reinforcements were not reinforcements at all?

Lost in one thought, a million dead bodies!

Zheng Yuanyun would never have imagined that the reinforcements he had confirmed several times were actually given a black mark by Chen Ze, and there were actually no reinforcements.

That being the case...

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Ouyang decided to take a gamble.

Because he knew that the quality of his soldiers was not directly proportional to that of Zheng Yuanyun, and it would not be safe if he gave up even the last advantage of the number of troops.

If he chooses to give up the decisive battle, then he will have to fight Zheng Yuanyun wave after wave, and it is still unclear who will win in the end.

It's not that he dragged Zheng Yuanyun to fight and consume slowly, and in the end he would be able to defend the last city, but just had a chance.

But if it is deployed according to Chen Ze's intention, if he can really guarantee that Zheng Yuanyun will not get reinforcements...

This is very worthwhile!

Moreover, would Chen Ze bully him at this time?

Ouyang Lixing believed that it would not be so, not because what Chen Ze said through Chen Ming was so nice, but, so far, Chen Ze was clearly in the same boat with him, if the boat capsized, no one would be able to get away!
