The Era of Generals

Chapter 707 Poor Dongping City

At this moment, Huang Liang could be said to be elated.

Originally thought that after being kidnapped by a master, he was definitely dead.

Even at the moment Tang Tianxing appeared, he thought it was the work of his deadly enemies, and he was jealous to see him happy and happy in Dongping City.

It turned out not to be.

Not only was it not, he even got a chance to start over because of a blessing in disguise.

Is there anything better than this?

Anyway, Chen Ze had the token in his hand, and Huang Liang felt that he could gamble on it.

Although the current situation is extremely unfavorable to Fengqi Province, Huang Liang believes in another thing.

Oh, it should be said that it is a person.

Whether Huang Liang was the former general or the current bandit leader, there was one person he always believed in.

That person is Ouyang Lixing!

But this belief is not that belief.

What Huang Liang believed in was Ouyang Lixing's ability to lead troops to fight, and he also believed in the other party's foresight.

Since he chose to let Chen Ze come back to Fengqi Province with the token, it means that Ouyang Lixing recognizes this person, someone who can be recognized by Ouyang Lixing...

Huang Liang thought about it carefully, at least before he committed a crime, he had never heard of anyone who was really reused by Ouyang Lixing.

It's also never heard that Ouyang Lixing handed over the military aircraft token of Fengqi Province to anyone.

He has always kept it by himself.

Therefore, the person in front of him can almost be regarded as the incarnation of Ouyang Lixing.

Follow him by yourself, that's right!

Thinking of this, Huang Liang knelt down and said in panic, "My lord is too serious, how can I be called Brother Huang? If my lord thinks highly of me and doesn't dislike my past, just call me Xiao Liangzi!"

Xiaoliangzi?

Chen Ze raised his brows and couldn't laugh or cry.

This world is not like his previous life, where he had such a career in the long river of history, so Huang Liang's words have no other meaning.

But Chen Ze is awkward.

"That's not necessary. This time, the general will have to rely on Brother Huang's strength to succeed."

Chen Ze thought for a while, but he had no choice but to say, "Then how about I call you Rhubarb?"

In his previous life, there was a kind of dog that usually took such a name...

But it was better than the shock Xiaoliangzi brought him.

"It's fine for me to come however you please."

Huang Liang nodded again and again, then looked at Chen Ze helplessly, "I don't know my lord..."

"Oh, my surname is Chen."

Chen Ze nodded at him, but did not announce the name.

Dongping City is different from other cities. Chen Ze may not be well-known in other places, but in Dongping City, it is estimated that many people have heard of him.

He also couldn't guarantee that after Huangliang occupied Dongping City, all the troops stationed there would be wiped out.

What if there are still people who know him?

As soon as Chen Ze uttered the word, his identity was exposed.

How could a person from the Qingyang Empire have the token of Ouyang Lixing?

The matter itself is not very clear.

Furthermore, Chen Ze did use some tricks to get the token from Ouyang Lixing.

In the territory of Fengqi Province, it's better for him to hide his identity a little bit.

"So it's Master Chen!"

Huang Liang didn't think much about it, and immediately bowed to Chen Ze.

From now on, Chen Zehao said that he was also his superior, and it would be good to just give him a surname so that he could address him more easily. How could he dare to ask more questions?

At the same time, Huang Liang also carefully recalled in his heart, whether there is a general with the surname Chen by Ouyang Lixing's side, or in the entire Fengqi Province, who is highly valued by Ouyang Lixing.

As a result, this thought...

Chen's surname is originally a common surname, there are so many generals surnamed Chen in Fengqi Province, and Huang Liang is a person who has long since fallen into the grass. Thinking about it, he just feels that there are generals surnamed Chen that he does not know in Fengqi Province. It's all possible.

An opportunity for amnesty was right in front of him. At this moment, Huang Liang did not want to miss this opportunity with all his heart. Naturally, in his subjective consciousness, he was avoiding some doubts about Chen Ze.

"Now you can tell me how many troops you have in Dongping City?"

Chen Ze asked with a faint smile.

"this……"

Huang Liang scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Master Chen can guess correctly, I have a total of more than 57,000 troops in Dongping City."

"Fifty-seven thousand?"

Chen Ze nodded, he didn't think much of Huang Liang's flattery. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then, what about the original strength of Dongping City?"

Although Ouyang Lixing entered Nantes Province from Dongping City at that time, he accepted Chen Ze's suggestion at that time and did not directly attack Ketan City, but went directly to Nantes Province along the border. away from the rear.

So here in Dongping City, he will naturally not take away all the soldiers and horses, and it is necessary to leave the troops for Dongping City's self-protection.

At the beginning of the battle with Yan Haomiao, Ouyang Lixing also built fortifications outside Dongping City, that is, near the pass in the direction of Nantes Province. With this fortification blocking, coupled with the city defense of Dongping City itself, he was able to Go with ease.

But also because of the existence of two layers of defense, Dongping City will inevitably need more troops.

After Huang Liang captured Dongping City, there were still more than 57,000 people left. How did he do it?

Huang Liang said: "Master Chen, when I came to attack Dongping City, I brought a total of about 70,000 people with me. At that time, Dongping City's defense force was actually very small, less than 20,000 people."

"Twenty thousand?"

Chen Ze nodded.

Yes, this is the only way to explain how Huang Liang was able to take down Dongping City with a group of mobs.

There were only 20,000 troops, and Huang Liang was also a general before, so he should have some experience in siege warfare, but even so, they still traded one for one, and that's how they took down Dongping City.

Then the strength of Dongping City...

It is impossible for Ouyang Lixing to leave only 20,000 yuan for Dongping City, so during this period of Ouyang Lixing's absence, there must have been some changes in Dongping City.

Chen Ze didn't really care about the specifics.

Or the morale of the army is scattered and they flee.

Or maybe other cities are tight, and Dongping City, which has been holding a large number of troops and doing nothing, has no choice but to send soldiers and horses to support other cities.

In short, after coming and going, there are only 20,000 people left in total.

Unexpectedly, Dongping City, which was protected by all precautions, was not captured by the enemy, but in the end Huang Liang took advantage of it and took it into his hands.

"Twenty thousand people, killed?"

Chen Ze asked again unwillingly.

Now even if there is one more soldier, it is good for him, so I asked this question.

"That's not true."

Huang Liang was also embarrassed. After all, his side attacked the city with a large force, but lost more than 10,000 troops.

"In the barracks, there are still more than 5,000 people detained."

He held back for a while, and finally said.
