Chapter 178

Yang Mingzhong watched as more than 10000 soldiers in front of him swept the battlefield, speechless for a long time.

He is the governor and the confidant of Zheng Yuanyun. He is one of the several high-level generals in bo'an city.

This time, he was appointed by Zheng Yuanyun to lead 500000 troops from the East. He was under great pressure.

Although there are more than 500000 troops, more than two million in Zhu Yan Empire?

And he knew better that the only one who could receive him outside the city was the 30000 troops led by the little counselor Chen Ze.

Dispensable?

In the millions of battles between the two armies, 30000 people are really useless.

But Yang Mingzhong took the military order without hesitation and led the army to rush out. This is his duty as a Qingyang general. At the same time, he doesn't want to live up to Zheng Yuanyun's trust.

However, what he didn't expect was that he thought he was waiting for hard battles one after another, but when he received a message from Chen Ze and led the army to the other party's original rear area, he saw dead bodies all over the ground.

This corpse is naturally the corpse of the other party. The soldiers of Qingyang empire are cleaning up the corpse step by step, escorting prisoners of war and transporting back baggage vehicles. At first glance, they know that they are always doing this. They are not unfamiliar at all, and the efficiency is extremely fast.

As an experienced veteran, Yang Mingzhong only glanced at it and found that about 50000 enemy troops were killed or captured on the battlefield, but only more than 10000 of their own soldiers.

One dozen five, although the other party is a baggage force, this is too exaggerated.

But he didn't know that there were even a dozen feats before, otherwise he didn't know what to feel in his heart.

"General Yang!"

Just in surprise, five or six riders came from the opposite side. The leader was just a young man, but there was the wind of a big general in the conversation and laughter. He had seen the young man in the Council Hall of the city Lord's house.

It's Chen Ze.

Knowing that all these arrangements were made by Chen Ze, even Zheng Yuanyun listened to Chen Ze's suggestions. Yang Mingzhong didn't underestimate each other's thoughts. He threw his fist at Chen Ze, who came with his horse, and replied with an equal ceremony: "brother Chen, good means!"

Chen Ze walked close to the horse and said with a smile, "the soldiers are just using their lives."

Glancing sideways, the dense and neat military array behind Yang Mingzhong fell into his eyes. He nodded with satisfaction, "General Yang, this elite soldier is really extraordinary."

Hearing the speech, Yang Mingzhong couldn't help feeling proud.

Of course.

He led the 500000 Boan soldiers most often trained by Zheng Yuanyun. If it were not for this critical moment, he could not command the army at all.

Only Zheng Yuanyun is qualified to command 500000 troops in bo'an city. Although these soldiers are under the unified management of the military aircraft department, Zheng Yuanyun has been operating in bo'an city for many years. He has personally selected and trained these 500000 troops, but he has to put a word Zheng on the banner.

No one can borrow this army. The military aircraft department is also knowledgeable. If there are no soldiers available, it will not move Zheng Yuanyun's army.

At present, Yang Mingzhong brought it out. It can be seen that Zheng Yuanyun attaches great importance to him and his pride can be imagined.

"I don't know why brother Chen asked the city Lord to divide the 500000 troops?"

Without too much politeness, Yang Mingzhong asked about the purpose of his trip.

Zheng Yuanyun only asked him to lead the troops and ordered Chen Ze to command the operation. He served as a supervisor, but Yang Mingzhong didn't know what kind of operation it was.

But seeing his appearance, Chen Ze smiled and said, "General Yang seems to have some speculation?"

"Yes."

Yang Mingzhong didn't deny it. At the same time, he didn't want to be underestimated by the little counselor. He said boldly: "I think brother Chen wants the city Lord to divide his troops because he wants to attack back and forth, cooperate with the city Lord's frontal attack, and give a nest of enemies invading bo'an city!"

This is the most likely result of his thinking.

It is precisely for this reason that Yang Mingzhong feels deeply responsible and is even ready to die together.

There are really a lot of 500000 troops, which can be pressed down on the city, especially the funnel-shaped terrain of bo'an city. With his troops at hand, he can certainly resist the enemy breaking through the city for a long time and spare time for Zheng Yuanyun to do his best.

He took Ming Road, unlike the defensive tunnel Chen Ze took. There were scouts all the way to pass information, so he probably knew the current situation of bo'an city.

The city Lord abandoned the city and set up a fierce array outside the city. Chen Ze intercepted food and grass here. It is clear that his plan is to trap the enemy in an isolated city.

Relatively speaking, Zheng Yuanyun is very comfortable. Behind him is anluoxing province. He is not afraid of encountering the enemy. On their side, they should not only besiege bo'an City, but also always guard against reinforcements from Nante province. Of course, the pressure is heavier.

If Yang Mingzhong didn't want to be determined, Chen Ze shook his head with a smile and said, "since General Yang thinks so, I guess the other coach is also planning so."

"What?"

Yang Mingzhong was stunned when he heard the speech. "Isn't that so?"

Chen Ze shook his head and said, "although we have more than 500000 people, the other party is actually not afraid of besieging the city."

Yang Mingzhong frowned and nodded.

Chen Ze doesn't need to say this clearly. He himself knows it.

In order to seize the time, the 500000 troops he brought out were not equipped with too many siege equipment. Even the grain and grass were only enough. It was really difficult to attack the city.

Moreover, no one knows the thickness of urban defense of bo'an city better than him. If not, how could Zhu Yan's army choose to surround instead of attack?

Bo'an City, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, is not enough to fight down the city alone.

Therefore, what Yang Mingzhong wants is to block the other party's back road and not let them escape too easily, and the main attack task still comes from Zheng Yuanyun.

"Brother Chen means..."

Yang Mingzhong doesn't know why. Looking at Chen Ze's appearance, he doesn't like the plan of attack before and after.

Chen Ze said: "by now, the other party must have noticed the problem of food and grass, and there is no supplement in bo'an City, so there is not much time left for them."

"The journey from bo'an city to the nearest city in Nantes province is about 10 days. Considering the two million strong troops of the other side, I don't believe they still have enough food to stay out of their own city."

"What's more..."

Chen Ze pointed to the army behind Yang Mingzhong and said with a smile: "500000 is also about a quarter of the other party's strength. If they want to retreat, they have to be prepared for our sneak attack from time to time in addition to starvation. Once they choose to withdraw, the loss will be great."

"According to my estimation..."

In his eyes, he said, "if the other party really chooses to retreat from the city, he can finally escape back to the army in Nantes Province, I'm afraid it's less than one in ten!"
