Chapter 225

The army entered the city.

In view of Yang Mingzhong's only 100000 troops at this time, for the sake of safety, Chen Ze did not let his 100000 troops stationed outside the city, but entered the city together.

Compared with the regular and square city of bo'an, the city of ter is oval. Fire Phoenix sculptures or patterns can be seen everywhere in the city, which is a different flavor.

After entering the city, Chen Ze immediately understood why Yang Mingzhong dared to divide his troops.

When the civilians of ter city saw the troops belonging to the Qingyang Empire entering the city, they looked very calm and did not feel the hatred caused by the enemy's army's capture of their own city.

Yang Mingzhong seems to be very restrained. After taking down the city of ter, he didn't make his soldiers harass the civilians in the city too much. It feels like a normal army changing defense.

Only the soldiers of the Zhuyan Empire were replaced by the troops of the Qingyang empire.

After walking a little longer and seeing more Zhu Yan civilians, Chen Ze gradually understood the reason for this abnormal calm.

Most of the civilians in the city are naked, decent, yellow and thin. It seems that they haven't had a full meal for a long time.

This is unthinkable for such a big main city.

Due to the importance of strategic location, the supply of the main city will be guaranteed in any case. Even if there is a major famine, a small amount of food must be recovered from the surrounding small cities to supply the consumption of the main city.

Civilians who can live in the city of ter should not have been hungry.

So

"People's grievances?"

Chen Ze thought for a moment and asked Yang Mingzhong, who was smiling and speechless.

Yang Mingzhong looked at him with a smile and sighed, "brother Chen is really scheming. He just looked at it and found the key hole!"

"Yes, it's the people's resentment!"

He swept around the slow-moving civilians in the street and said slightly, "Zhang Chengwang is desperate this time. He sent such a huge army to attack bo'an city. Naturally, the amount of food and grass needed to be consumed every day is not a small amount."

"They are on an expedition again, which is no better than our home in bo'an city. Of course, the food and grass they need to carry is also extremely huge!"

Chen Ze nodded. Of course he understood Yang Mingzhong's meaning. In fact, it was against the logistics and logistics troops of Zhu Yan's army that he struck and cut off the other party's supply.

"Such a huge amount of military food has long exceeded the limit that Nantes province can provide in a short time. It seems that Chengwang has also extracted a large amount of food from the civilian population to subsidize the needs of the army, but it has made heaven's anger and people's resentment."

Yang Mingzhong mentioned the sad things of the enemy country, smiled happily and said proudly, "so the people who most want this war to stop are not us or the army of Zhu Yan Empire, but civilians who are subjected to extreme exploitation!"

"I found this as soon as I entered the city. Even if we occupied their city, we didn't harass the civilians living here excessively. Instead, we stopped the exploitation of their food and materials. Only then did the civilians acquiesce to the fact that the city was occupied and didn't riot. Instead, they wanted to keep it."

"Of course..."

Yang Mingzhong winked at Chen Ze, took two steps closer and whispered, "in fact, the food here was also robbed from the baggage troops of Zhu Yan Empire along the way. It's still the food of these civilians!"

Chen Ze could only smile bitterly.

They captured the other party's city with the other party's food and grass. On the contrary, they also made the civilians in the city happy to accept this reality. I have to say, it's really a little

In the first World War, Zhu Yan empire was attacked and Qingyang empire was defended. It was really difficult for the civilians on the attacking side to share a common hatred like the civilians in bo'an city. After all, the war was not burning at their feet.

All they can feel is the endless exploitation from the military.

"The situation of the other two cities is roughly the same as that of ter City, so I dare to divide troops and raid. At present, all the enemy troops in the three main cities of Nante have been captured. We can even stand firm if Lord Zheng sends a large army to take over!"

Speaking of this, Yang Mingzhong's face was full of joy for the great work he was about to make.

As soon as Chen Ze arrived, although there were only 100000 troops, it was also a force that could not be ignored. You should know that at present, the troops of the whole Nantes province are in an empty state. Chen Ze's arrival undoubtedly gave Yang Mingzhong a shot in the arm and made him more confident in occupying the other three cities.

There are three cities in hand. Even if Nantes province wants to recapture them, it will have a lot of troops to gather all the few garrisons in the other cities. But how can it be coordinated properly in a short time?

The commander of Nantes province died in the battle in Boan City, and the chief of military aircraft also turned into roving bandits with millions of troops. It will take a lot of work to select a general who can take orders in the face of danger. How can we talk about rectifying the troops.

What's more, if we really want to integrate all the defenders into one place, it means that we will give up the rest of the cities in the province!

After the news of Zhang Chengwang's defeat was deliberately spread by Yang Mingzhong, who knows in Nantes province?

At present, Nantes province is in a time of war and chaos. If all the garrisons in its affiliated towns are transferred away, the thieves and bandits everywhere will not listen to the wind and take the opportunity to make a lot of national wealth?

They have become thieves and bandits. Can we expect these bandits to be loyal to the Empire?

They can burn, kill and loot as much as they like. After they are full of food, they turn around and directly surrender to Yang Mingzhong. What can Zhu Yan Empire do with them?

Maybe I can take this opportunity to wash white and go ashore. I may have been in Qingyang Empire since then with the help of me robbed from Zhu Yan empire.

The only garrison in each city dare not move at all.

As for the reinforcements dispatched by Zhu Yan empire from elsewhere, the mountains are high and the road is long. When they arrive, the army of Anluo province will arrive early. With the advantage of urban defense, they are really not afraid of the other party's attack.

Second, the defeat of Nantes province must have spread to the ears of other two countries, especially the places close to Nantes province. They are eyeing each other. They will tear a piece of meat off Zhu Yan's empire when they only wait for an opportunity. How dare the troops of neighboring provinces move lightly at this time?

It was originally a determined action, but now Zhu Yan empire is suddenly in an embarrassing dilemma. It is neither saving nor not saving Nante province.

To understand the situation, Chen Ze suddenly felt that there was no tiger in the mountain and the monkey was called the overlord.

Although his and Yang Mingzhong's troops are 600000, they are absolutely few at the imperial level. However, these few troops have become a sharp knife firmly inserted in the heart of Nantes province. If they are pulled out or not, they will be bleeding wildly.

"General Yang's great achievement is really gratifying!"

Chen Ze smiled and arched his hand to Yang Mingzhong. He was not upset because he gave up this credit.

"No, it's all the credit of brother Chen. When we reward him for his merits in the future, the general must strive for a first merit for brother Chen!"

Yang Mingzhong quickly returned the salute with sincere words.
