The Era of Generals

Chapter 433   Have to Retire

Huang Shi was followed by Guo Zi.

The two are also acquainted.

Earlier, Guo Zi was ordered by Chen Ze to go back to Anluo Province to recruit soldiers, and Huang Shi was the commander of the 100,000 army, and then the two came to Nantes Province together, but they got along well.

The reason why Chen Ze asked Guo Zi to follow Huang Shi was not because he couldn't trust this person, but he used Guo Zi as a guiding light, so that he could observe the movements of Huang Shi and his troops at any time.

On the other hand, Zhang Hualin had already sneaked back to Tianyuan City. He had really seen Zheng Yuanyun's defeat, and then followed Zheng Yuanyun's remnant troops all the way back.

Therefore, Chen Ze knew Zheng Yuanyun's movements very well, and then he could use the system to tell Guo Zi the direction of Zheng Yuanyun's retreat, and then Guo Zi would point out the way to Huang Shi.

Of course, it is unavoidable to make some false claims. For example, Guo Zi is carrying a kit with a strategy written in advance by Chen Ze. Why can't it be opened to see.

Of course, as for when will be the next suitable place to open the kit, it depends on when Chen Ze will give Guo Zi instructions.

I am not very disgusted with this set of Huang Shi. In fact, the former Hua Lao also liked to make this kind of mystery, but the rhetoric to the outside world has always been that it was done in order to avoid the leakage of military aircraft.

Since Chen Ze is someone Hua Lao valued, in fact, Huang Shi already regarded him as Hua Lao's personal disciple in his heart. It's not surprising that this disciple and master both like to do this.

Therefore, Guo Zi led Huang Shi around, anyway, wherever Zheng Yuanyun retreated, they avoided that direction in advance, never met him, and did not even leave any traces for Zheng Yuanyun.

Not only that, Chen Ze also deliberately asked Huang Shi and the others to avoid the small towns attached to Nantes province, and drill into the deep mountains and old forests without showing any traces.

In this way, the half a million elite soldiers seemed to have evaporated from the world, and completely disappeared under Zheng Yuanyun's nose...!

Zheng Yuanyun didn't know anything about this at the beginning, but it didn't take long before he felt uneasy.

After such a defeat, Zheng Yuanyun was of course eager to find his place back, so while retreating, he also sent a signal to the city behind through a loud arrow.

The sound of the arrow this time meant to let the reinforcements be notified from the rear city to come over and join him. In addition, it also made people hurry back to Ketan City and bring the 500,000 elite soldiers who were left there.

Between Ketan City and other small cities in Nantes Province, because Xilong City has been destroyed, starting from there, the distance of the sound arrow is not enough. If he wants to notify Ma Hui, he must send People have to go back quickly.

However, he would never have imagined that at the beginning, he would get a response as soon as the arrow was fired, but at this moment, there was no news sent back.

As a last resort, he sent a series of loud arrows back to the rear. It was not until after the last loud arrow that he finally received Shanshan's belated reply.

But this reply made Zheng Yuanyun...

there is none left.

The sound of arrows from the city behind told him that the reinforcements he had seen in Xilong City had already left the city empty at this moment, and there was no trace of this army in the cities along the way. It seemed that if the opponent had not retreated back to Ke Tancheng is lost in the vast land of Nantes province.

But how is this possible?

This is marching and fighting!

Doesn't the general in charge of commanding the reinforcements have a map in his hand?

Zheng Yuanyun squeezed the map of Nantes Province in his hand. This kind of map is not difficult to obtain. You can find a large number of maps in any city in Nantes Province.

Although there is no military information marked on it, if it is only used for traveling, there is no problem at all.

With a map in hand, can you get lost?

Zheng Yuanyun told the rear clearly in the previous sounding arrow message, telling the reinforcements to come over quickly!

On the way, no one has seen this support army. Could it be that during the launch of the arrow, the message was changed several times, so the meaning of the final expression was wrong?

Obviously they were told to come as soon as possible, but the order finally passed to the reinforcements was to tell them to retreat?

This is impossible!

Zheng Yuanyun couldn't understand it.

In the sound of arrows, the tone of forward and backward is definitely very different, and it is impossible for such a serious mistake to occur.

Moreover, after the reinforcements received the letter from the arrow, they also replied to him clearly, saying that they would set off from Xilong City as soon as possible to come to support!

So, what about reinforcements?

Where did you go?

It wouldn't be the case that he has already occupied most of the territory of Nantes Province, but there is actually a huge army of the opponent hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to swallow his reinforcements, right?

If there were such troops, how could they allow themselves to lay down countless cities along the way, almost forcing the province of Nantes to the point of desperation?

Among other things, if there is such a troop, wouldn't it be good to put it in Xilong City?

An army that can absorb half a million reinforcements in one bite, without even a single trace of it being heard, will definitely have fewer troops, at least two million or more.

With this amount, when they went to defend Xilong City, they might not even be able to cross the moat, so why wait until now?

No matter how much he thought about this matter, Zheng Yuanyun couldn't figure it out. Where did the reinforcements he had been waiting for go?

Where did you go?

Where did it go?

At this moment, Zheng Yuanyun even had the intention of killing people. If he saw the commander of the support army at this moment, he believed that he would definitely order someone to chop off the opponent's head without any explanation. Only then can I vent this urgent hatred!

It's a pity that the commander is not in front of him, and he doesn't even know where the other party is at this time.

Therefore, you have to return!

Zheng Yuanyun sighed deeply, without this support army, he would have to retreat again, you know, he only left 30,000 troops there for defense in the small rear town closest to Tianyuan City.

What the hell is 30,000 worth?

He still has 300,000 troops here, but 100,000 of them are heavy cavalry, which are not suitable for defending the city at all. Besides, the other 200,000 troops also include some logistics troops, which are not suitable for use.

Once the opponent has packed up Huang Chengjian's troops and fights all the way, he will not be able to defend the small city at all.

One must know that there was no special reinforcement like Tianyuan City, and he naturally didn't have time to urgently reinforce it right now.

Therefore, you have to return!
