The Era of Generals

Chapter 478 - Assembly

attack!

On Chen Shen's side, just as Zheng Yuanyun finally realized, when the defenders finally sounded the alarm, the rear city gate was already broken!

Still led by the light cavalry, the light cavalry units that rushed into the city quickly cut down and charged at anyone they saw. In just a moment, the pitiful little defensive force on the rear gate was quickly disintegrated.

Immediately, he did not continue to take advantage of the victory to rush forward. Out of safety considerations, Chen Shen only ordered the soldiers to firmly control the back city gate first, and did not give the Qingyang Empire any chance to fight back.

Although this caution was later found to be unnecessary, Chen Shen was not in a hurry at all, he just faithfully followed Ouyang's strict orders.

Not long after, all the siege troops who came to support from the left and right sides also entered through the rear city gate. Since then, nearly 200,000 troops have gathered at the rear city gate, and they finally gained a firm foothold.

Chen Shen breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that all of this was the result of the commander-in-chief's plan, so he didn't have the idea of ​​greedy for success, but just waited in place.

This is the reason why Ouyang Lixing entrusted Chen Shen with the task of capturing the rear city gate. At this time, most generals would commit the problem of being overjoyed, but Chen Shen would never do it here.

Not long after, after Chen Shen confirmed for the third time that there was no problem at the Houcheng Gate, he waited for Ouyang Lixing's large army to arrive.

Moreover, the commander of this unit is none other than Mr. Ouyang, the commander-in-chief!

"General!"

Chen Shen went forward to meet him, with his usual prudence, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face. Just because he wasn't greedy for merit doesn't mean he didn't want military exploits, but for him, being able to take down the rear city gate this time was already a great accomplishment. Let's go When he came in front of Ouyang Lixing, his body couldn't help but straighten a bit.

"It did a good job this time."

Ouyang Lixing nodded at him, his expression did not relax, he glanced into Juhe City, and asked, "How is the situation?"

Chen Shen hurriedly put away his happy face, and said solemnly: "Reporting to Mr. General Soldier, the subordinates are not very clear about the situation in the city, but the subordinates near the back gate can guarantee that everything is under control now!"

"very good."

Only then did Ouyang Lixing's expression relax a lot. He looked at Chen Shen and said with a smile, "You did a good job on this matter. This general will write it down for you."

"When the empire rewards meritorious deeds in the future, your share will be indispensable!"

"Thank you General!"

Chen Shen was overjoyed, what he was waiting for was Ouyang Lixing's words, and it was worth the hard work of lurking and digging trenches during this period of time.

Ouyang nodded vigorously, but smiled wryly in his heart.

It's just that his subordinates don't know, but he knows very well that the main contributor to the victory at the rear city gate is not Chen Shen, the executor, nor is he the commander, but...

Chen Ze.

Thinking of this name, Ouyang Lixing felt mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know whether he should thank Chen Ze or guard against Chen Ze.

Using light cavalry to fight against heavy cavalry, this proposal was told by Chen Ze through Chen Ming, and all the plans actually came from Chen Ze. Ouyang Lixing just passed it on to Chen Ze after thinking about and approving the plan. deep.

It really worked out.

Even now, Ouyang Lixing didn't dare to believe that things would go so smoothly, the commander of the heavy cavalry was really fooled by this, and buried himself in the pit abruptly.

Naturally, this can also be explained.

After all, Chen Ze is a general of the Qingyang Empire, so he must know more about his own generals than an outsider, so Chen Ze's plan is aimed at Xu Tianci's own personality, which makes sense.

Ouyang Lixing's explanation is correct, but Chen Ze didn't know Xu Tianci's character, but when Gu Qingfeng and Zhang Hualin were hiding in Zheng Yuanyun's big tent, the two had treated each of Zheng Yuanyun's cronies They have all paid attention to them, and Chen Ze has also seen everyone's performance through the system, so he knows it well.

As for Xu Tianci, he knew that he was a relatively safe general, but besides being safe, he also had ambitions, and perhaps because his subordinates were in command of heavy cavalry, an invincible unit in the plains, his self-confidence It is also extremely powerful.

This is exactly what Chen Ze was aiming at. His plan, and even the location of the trenches, did not exceed Xu Tianci's psychological expectations. Only in this way could Xu Tianci continue to chase after him.

The result was so obvious, so easy that even Ouyang Lixing felt like he was in a dream.

Of course, as long as he knows about this matter, he will never tell his subordinates clearly, otherwise it is not a big problem if his prestige as the commander-in-chief cannot be maintained, but it will affect morale.

What if Chen Ze suddenly turned against him after Zheng Yuanyun was wiped out, then...they still have to fight, so if Chen Ze is promoted to a high position at this time, once his side confronts Chen Ze However, Ouyang Lixing was afraid that his morale would automatically weaken by 30%, which would be very bad.

Moreover, it seemed unnecessary to say it, but in Ouyang Lixing's heart, Chen Ze's danger level had already been raised to a level higher than that of Zheng Yuanyun.

While thinking about it, he was not idle, and the troops outside the city entered Juhe City in an orderly manner.

As Chen Shen said, he had completely controlled the back gate of the city, and more than one million troops brought by Ouyang Lixing entered the city one after another, but there was no sign of a single enemy army.

This one million troops was transferred from the frontal battlefield under Zheng Yuanyun's nose, and half a million troops were transferred from the main city gate, except for the ones that were lost during the previous siege, and stayed in the main city. There are about 200,000 people at the gate to seal the city.

It can also be seen how much damage was done to the attacking soldiers in a siege battle. How long did it last? Even if Ouyang tried his best to save his troops, he still lost tens of thousands of troops.

And the other 500,000 is made up of 250,000 from the city gates on the left and right sides, plus the 200,000 that Chen Shen already has here, forming a total of 1.2 million troops .

And there is Zheng Yuanyun.

Ouyang Lixing has always been calculating.

Zheng Yuanyun only had a total of 600,000 troops. During the siege, the total number of troops lost by his three gates was estimated to be around 100,000, but this is not the point.

The point is that the 100,000 heavy cavalry on the rear gate are all wiped out!

As a result, the loss of Zheng Yuanyun's troops reached 200,000, and he only had 400,000 troops left. More importantly, the heavy cavalry that Zheng Yuanyun had always relied on was completely wiped out.

This was an incomparable loss of Zheng Yuanyun's combat power, and it also gave Ouyang Lixing an excellent opportunity to launch a general attack!
