The Era of Generals

Chapter 774 - Strange

After Chen Ming finished his report, Chen Ze also told him everything that happened here.

As a scout on the front line, Chen Ming must know all aspects of the situation, which will be of great benefit to his investigation, at least he will not go in the wrong direction due to incorrect information.

After listening to Chen Ze's narration, Chen Ming's tone was also full of surprise.

He never imagined that he accidentally passed by the small river, and thought he had found a force that was planning to exploit evil, but who would have thought that the one he met would be the real master.

Only at this moment did he begin to feel thankful that he hadn't startled the snake. Hearing what Chen Ze said, he didn't act rashly.

Otherwise, once the other party is alerted, Chen Ze's arrangement at this time will be completely disrupted.

After Chen Ming digested his news, Chen Ze asked again: "Where are the hostages?"

"What did they say, did you see it?"

"This one doesn't."

Chen Ming replied: "When Hua Lao's people came, the other party had already captured Tianhong City, and there was a great martial law in Houtianhong City, and no one who was unrelated was allowed to enter. They also thought of many ways, and even lost the lives of a few brothers. It is also impossible to sneak into Tianhong City."

The defense is so tight?

Chen Ze was slightly stunned, this did not match his guess.

After thinking about it, he asked again, "If it were you, would it be possible to sneak in?"

Chen Ming's kung fu was indeed inferior to Tang Tianxing's, not even as good as Tang Feng's, but Chen Ze still had great confidence in him, and he would never be hard to beat in ordinary places.

"this……"

The voice from Chen Ming's side was very difficult, and he said rather embarrassedly: "Young master, I have already visited when I came here, and I really feel that there is a sense of impediment, I think... with my ability, I probably won't be able to get in. .”

Hearing these words, Chen Ze was surprised again.

Ever since Chen Ming followed him, he has explored many places and never let himself down.

Of course, there is also a reason why Chen Ze used the system map to assist him.

But of course Chen Ming knew this.

In other words, when he admitted that he could not enter, he also counted Chen Ze's assistance.

Even so, can't get in?

What to do with such a strong defense?

Chen Ze frowned.

The reason why he was surprised and felt unbelievable was because of the information provided by Mo He.

Mo He once said that in order to deceive others, Huang and Li, two generals of the Bailie Empire, actually arranged hostages in a small town nearby after they conquered Tianhong City.

In other words, there are actually no hostages in Tianhong City.

That being the case, why did they still set up a net in Tianhong City to prevent anyone from entering?

So doubt it?

But isn't this a little too much?

You must know that according to Mo He, the two generals who jointly led this army were actually at odds.

Moreover, in order to get rid of General Li, that General Huang brought out the troops he could control, and made up his mind to catch more bandit forces to expand his troops, and then went to the front to make contributions.

So after he took away most of the troops, there were not many troops left for General Li, and Tianhong City was turned into a monolith, which also required a lot of troops to do it.

In this way, how many troops can they leave in the small town where the hostages are really held?

You must know that the hostages are indeed hostages, but there are two thousand of them, and they are still soldiers of the Xuanjia Empire who have always been super powerful in single-handed combat.

Once there are not enough troops left behind, aren't they afraid that the hostages will retaliate violently, and instead beat them to pieces?

It's not impossible.

Even after five years, even during these five years, those hostages have suffered a lot, and their combat power will certainly decline.

But don't forget, they are soldiers of the Xuanjia Empire!

The Xuanjia Empire's geographical location is not good, it is a place where the sky is cold and freezing, and this has also cultivated the perseverance of the soldiers of this empire.

Just like Meng Yang and others.

They have spent so long in the Bo'an barracks, once they choose to come out of the mountains again, aren't they just as powerful?

In the past five years, they have endured enough and been tortured enough. Once they have the opportunity, will they not seize it?

It is impossible for the other party not to guard against this.

So, there is a problem here.

Was Mo He lying to him, or did General Li have a new arrangement after that?

No!

Alternate arrangements are unlikely!

Just now Chen Ming said that when Hua Lao's people came, they happened to be attacked by the Bailie Empire against Tianhong City!

Since then they have been watching nearby.

Speaking of which, the situation in Tianhong City has never changed, otherwise, how could they have lost a few people because they wanted to go in to inquire about the military situation?

So from the beginning, the situation has been like this, and it has never changed.

However, Mo He said that for the sake of safety, General Li set up a suspicious formation in Tianhong City, and settled more than 2,000 hostages in a nearby town.

Of course Chen Ze had no problem when he heard this at first, and he also agreed with this arrangement.

Because this is the cautiousness that a detaining force should have after most of its troops have gone.

But at this time, when Chen Ming said this, he realized that the situation was probably not that simple.

That guy, didn't tell the truth?

A surge of anger rose in his heart, but after thinking about it, Chen Ze denied this idea again.

If it was said that Mo He was deliberately deceiving him, then he could have done it elsewhere, not this point.

Is the situation in Tianhong City directly related to Chen Ze now?

After thinking for a while, he asked another question: "Have the people on Hua Lao's side confirmed the total number of troops on the other side?"

"This has!"

Chen Ming responded quickly: "They said that the troops who came to attack Tianhong City at the beginning were about 50,000 people, and then some troops were transferred away one after another. According to their observations, the opponent's total strength is only more than 20,000 people. , Oh, by the way, most of them have left Tianhong City, which is the army I met by the river before."

That's it.

Chen Ze nodded, more and more sure of his guess.

Mo He didn't lie about the number of troops, and the opponent's total strength was indeed just over 20,000.

So, is there a problem with your plan?

He was going to let Tang Feng lead a bandit army to the front, and then pretend to be invincible and be captured by the opponent. In the end, General Huang would personally bring his men to the base camp, and then wait for the opportunity to find the right place. Opportunity to rescue the hostages.

Just concealing the deployment of troops in Tianhong City doesn't seem to be able to stop Chen Ze.

After all, he didn't need to attack Tianhong City at all, but directly brought in the manpower through the opponent.

It is impossible to enter Tianhong City, which is strictly forbidden, even the people brought by General Huang are not allowed to enter, right?
