The Era of Generals

Chapter 732 Another Branch

"You caught up?"

Chen Ze was also surprised that Chen Ming caught up with the bandits so quickly.

Just now he had been focusing on the troops in Dongping City, and indeed he hadn't paid attention to Chen Ming for a while.

But this also shows that he is very reassuring about Chen Ming, knowing that if something happens, Chen Ming will contact him and will not make decisions without authorization.

Just like now.

Chen Ming really planned to give it a go, but he didn't mess around. When he found that the matter was beyond his ability, he contacted Chen Ze decisively.

If not, Chen Ming might not make a big mistake!

"impossible!"

Chen Ze took a look at the map of where Chen Ming was, and said decisively, "The one you meet won't be our target!"

"this……"

Chen Ming opened his mouth, intending to refute, but changed his words when he reached the edge of his mouth, and asked, "Why are you so sure, Young Master?"

"Because of where you are."

Chen Ze replied while sweeping where Chen Ming was.

"Although you ran wildly for almost a day and a night, in fact, you are not too far from Dongning City."

This Chen Ming could only nod his head.

He galloped all the way without sleep and rest, the speed is naturally not slow, but it is only such a short time, no matter how good his equestrian skills are, after all, there is his physical limit to get off the horse.

According to Chen Ming's own judgment, he probably ran a hundred or so miles away.

This is already a remarkable achievement.

It only took half a day and one night. After exhausting the two fast horses, Chen Ming was able to run here, and the speed was not uncomfortably fast.

But in the same way, Chen Ze's statement is not wrong.

Chen Ze didn't deny Chen Ming's contribution, but judging from his location, he was only a hundred miles away from Dongning City, and it wasn't that far away.

According to the size of Dongning City, the land of a hundred miles is still within its jurisdiction. Near where Chen Ming is, if you search carefully, you can still find small villages attached to Dongning City.

"You run very fast."

Chen Ze continued: "But those rogues are not fools."

This is for sure, Chen Ze has never denied the IQ of that team of rogues, except for being a little greedy.

Otherwise, the opponent wouldn't have made a move of praying mantis to catch the cicada, and the oriole would have used Huangliang's skill to attack Dongping City as a last resort, and sneakily seized the other three unguarded cities, taking advantage of it.

With such a strategy, the leader of the bandit was probably a general, or perhaps a resourceful adviser.

To be able to make this judgment, in addition to what happened to the three border cities, Chen Ze also took into account the tragedy of Dongning City.

From the beginning to the end, Chen Ze's evaluation of this bandit was just greed.

Can Dongning City be attacked?

Naturally it is possible.

The leader of the rogues could see clearly that the current situation in Dongning City was worse than that of Dongping City. Wouldn't he bite his mouthful of fat?

That's why he still chose to attack Dongning City when he knew that his side was about to exceed the burden.

Because he knows very well that Dongning City is now an empty city, and there is no problem in fighting it.

But Dongning City is not small after all!

This also led to the fact that this team of rogues with only more than 30,000 people could no longer do what they did in the three border cities before, and slaughtered the entire city!

Although Dongning City also suffered from the massacre, many Pingchengs took advantage of the chaos and ran out. This is why Chen Minghui found civilians near Dongning City.

Chen Ze couldn't believe that the leader of the bandits couldn't think of this.

Since they can imagine it, they must know that their atrocities in Dongning City will spread far away in a very short period of time.

This is very far away, not only referring to other cities in Fengqi Province, but also to a wider area.

Let me talk about the city first.

It is true that Dongning City is empty, but what about the original strength of Dongning City?

Those troops were naturally dispatched to the front line closer to the main city.

But in terms of the location of Dongning City, they can get support.

Once the news of Dongning City being attacked gets out, the cities that are ahead of Dongning City and have troops will definitely send troops to rescue them!

Moreover, Dongning City is very large. After the rogues captured Dongning City, they also looted the city for three days before evacuating.

Three days is already a limit.

If he stayed for a while longer, he might be bumped into by the Fengqi Empire army who came to support him.

So at that time, they must go.

This is a threat from the official forces in Fengqi Province.

And the other point is the bandit forces like Huang Liang, like this bandit army.

These two are definitely not the only forces that are scurrying in Fengqi Province now, there must be others.

And once the news of Dongning City being beaten reaches the ears of other bandit forces...

Just by looking at how furious Huang Liang's subordinates were after hearing the news, it can be seen.

Such a big piece of fat, how can a gang of about 30,000 rogues eat it up?

What's more, the city has already been defeated.

So if you go back now, you only need to eat meat without working!

It is conceivable that after getting this news, how crazy the surrounding bandit forces will be, why don't they rush to Dongning City?

These two major scruples are all there, why don't you run away?

So no matter how heavy the burden is on them, within the scope of Dongning City, they will definitely not stay for a long time.

However, Chen Ming arrived later, and found traces of rogues within the scope of Dongning City, which is unreasonable.

According to Chen Ze's judgment on the behavior pattern of the rogue leader, this is very unreasonable.

That's why he said that what Chen Ming encountered should not be that force.

And it is very likely that another bandit force came from elsewhere after hearing the wind.

"But……"

Chen Ming is still convinced of Chen Ze's judgment, but there is still a doubt lingering in his heart.

"They drove a lot of carriages, and the wheel marks were consistent with those from Dongning City, and the weight was extremely heavy!"

Chen Ming said.

This is what he observed just now, and it is precisely because of this that he has come to a judgment.

Chen Ze wasn't too surprised, just smiled and said, "You can go and see what's in that carriage."

"Also, according to what you said about the clothes of the bandits, don't forget that they are also wandering around the entire Fengqi province. In this case, it is possible to grab something on the way."

"Besides, you said that they have no defense at all. This can also be reflected from the side. They are not afraid of someone coming to attack them at the moment!"

Chen Ming's heart skipped a beat.

Chen Ze's words woke him up.

Since he was carrying a treasure, how could he not deploy even a little defensive force?
