The Era of Generals

Chapter 442   A style of play that hurts both sides

"You say it again?"

Ouyang Lixing, who had always been indifferent, jumped up when he heard the words, and two sharp sword lights in his eyes pointed at Chen Ming.

Where would Chen Ming be afraid?

He met Ouyang Lixing's gaze, and repeated again: "Master Chen has sent news that the scouts he sent found that an army of about half a million is approaching Dongping City!"

Dongping City belongs to Fengqi Province, and Fengqi Province is the base camp of Ouyang Lixing.

At the beginning, he led the army from Dongping City, entered the territory of Nantes Province in one fell swoop, and also bypassed Zheng Yuanyun's troops, instead of confronting them head-on, he chose to come to Tianyuan City.

At that time, although Ouyang Lixing took away most of the troops, Fengqi Province was adjacent to Nantes Province, and the defense of the four border cities headed by Dongping City was empty, but at that time Ouyang Lixing believed that Zheng Yuan Yun would not fight Dongping City.

As for the reason, first of all, it is impossible for Zheng Yuanyun to leave the big cake of Nantes Province and go to the unknown Fengqi Province to make trouble. For him, it is natural to win Nantes Province now. is the first priority.

The second point is that Ouyang Lixing is not without troops. If Zheng Yuanyun ran to attack the city after discovering that Ouyang Lixing led his troops to leave Dongping City, what if Ouyang Lixing turned back?

Don't they have to make dumplings for him?

So Zheng Yuanyun was very tangled at that time.

If he fought Dongping City, Ouyang Lixing would probably come back, but if he didn't fight, because he didn't know Ouyang Lixing's specific marching movements, he would have to compete with the opponent for time.

What he wants to grab is naturally whether he wins the entire Nantes province first, or Ouyang Lixing will take the first step to occupy the last gate of the Nantes province.

As for Dongping City, Zheng Yuanyun could only pretend that he didn't see it.

In fact, this is also the case, but Zheng Yuanyun is still one step behind in terms of rushing for time. He arrived at Tianyuan City at least half a month later than Ouyang Lixing, which resulted in Ouyang Lixing having plenty of time. To carry out the deployment, Zheng Yuanyun finally fell into a big stumble.

So now, it is impossible for Zheng Yuanyun to turn around and attack Dongping City. He does not have many troops at hand at the moment, and his trump card is still a heavy cavalry unit that is not suitable for attacking the city. May have some ideas about Dongping City.

Therefore, Ouyang Lixing has not been too worried about the situation in Dongping City all the time. According to reports from the spies, because of Yan Haomiao's relationship, the Mohe Province of the Bailie Empire has launched several attacks against his main city. To attack, but Ouyang Lixing reserved enough troops before leaving, so although he was beaten several times in a row, the main city was still impenetrable and there was no danger.

But hidden worries are not without.

The biggest hidden danger is that although he has reserved enough troops for the main city on the side of Mohe Province, after all, he has collected about 3 million troops in Fengqi Province, and this part of the troops is still being used by him. Brought to Tianyuan City.

Therefore, there is still a problem of insufficient troops in Fengqi Province, especially the closer to the side of Nantes Province, the fewer troops, which are only enough to maintain the most basic defense of a city.

At such a time, if someone went to Dongping City to make trouble, he would indeed be very hurt. At that time, Dongping City and even the three surrounding cities could not bear it together.

If the enemy army used this entrance to go to the interior of Fengqi Province to wreak havoc, Ouyang Li Xing would be calling the heavens and the earth not working.

In particular, when Chen Ming said such words at such a time, it was conceivable that those 500,000 elite soldiers were instructed by someone to run to Dongping City.

If it is Zheng Yuanyun, Ouyang Lixing is not afraid. After all, Zheng Yuanyun is the supreme commander of Anluo Province, and he must have many considerations when doing things. At this time, Zheng Yuanyun suddenly ran to fight Fengqi Province It's not good for him. Although it seems that he can get a lot of Fengqi provincial cities, this small-scale conflict will eventually be suppressed.

But it was different for Chen Ze.

As the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. At this time, Chen Ze is that barefoot person.

The army of the Qingyang Empire, the elite soldiers of Anluo Province, what do these have to do with him?

In his eyes, this is just a tool that can be used to create opportunities for himself. If it is easy to use, then use it for a while, and when it is not useful, then just discard it.

As for the existence of these half a million elite soldiers, there is no doubt about it.

Chen Ze had been emphasizing to Ouyang Lixing through Chen Ming that Zheng Yuanyun had reinforcements coming to Nantes province, but it was only delayed by Chen Ze's plan.

This can be confirmed from the side from Zheng Yuanyun's aggressive attack method.

So at this moment, Chen Ze is controlling an elite army of 500,000 soldiers, which Ouyang Lixing still believes.

Then if he really uses this army to attack Dongping City...

It is inevitable that Dongping City will not be able to defend, but it may not be of any benefit to Chen Ze, because no matter how he attacks, as long as Zheng Yuanyun is still there, the credit must go to the supreme commander.

Even when Zheng Yuanyun was in urgent need of reinforcements, Chen Ze privately mobilized his troops to attack the meaningless Fengqi Province, and he would be blamed by Zheng Yuanyun afterwards.

But having said that, what should Fengqi Province do?

Leaving aside whether Chen Ze would be punished by Zheng Yuanyun, his Fengqi province would definitely be in serious trouble, and what kind of damage would it cause if the half a million elite soldiers invaded the interior?

This is simply a plan to kill the fish and break the net!

Chen Ze tried his best to be punished by Zheng Yuanyun, which plunged Ouyang Lixing's base camp into chaos. If the Bailie Empire knew about this matter, wouldn't it become the plan Yan Haomiao made before, using the front and back A pincer attack to capture Fengqi Province?

It's just that Yan Haomiao was chopped off by himself, but now it's Chen Ze who continues the plan. Although Chen Ze will not get the same benefits as Yan Haomiao, and even burn himself, as the victim, he is Both ends are not good.

Speaking of Nantes Province, he just stood firm and did not regain it. Speaking of Fengqi Province, but because he brought a large number of troops into Nantes Province, his base camp was damaged.

Doesn't this hurt both sides?

But still the same sentence, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes.

Chen Ze is just a small co-leader, and he has nothing to fear at all, but he, Ouyang Lixing, is the supreme commander of a province, and the issues he needs to consider and worry about are far beyond Chen Ze's comparison.

After making such a big commotion, Chen Zeda could shake his sleeves and leave, but he, Ouyang Lixing, had to face this mess.

Even, like the previous Nantes province, he had to go everywhere to beg his grandpa to tell his grandma to send reinforcements, so as to solve the disaster in Fengqi province.

Is it worth it?
