Chapter 227

What happened?

Seeing the wind and fire running to find his Yang Mingzhong confidant, Chen Ze realized the bad for the first time.

At the same time, he also pointed out the system map and opened the maps of more than a dozen Xuanjia elite one by one, but he didn't find anything different.

Naturally, the scouts sent by Yang Mingzhong are not displayed in Chen Ze's system.

As Yang Mingzhong's men returned to the city master's residence, Yang Mingzhong frowned on the coach's chair that only Zhang Chengwang could sit in. At his lower head, there was a tall and thin young man with dusty face and still breathing. According to his costume, he was a scout in the army.

"Brother Chen, you're here!"

As soon as Chen Ze came in, before Chen Ze said hello to him, Yang Mingzhong brightened his eyes and jumped up from the broad coach's chair. He rushed to Chen Ze and looked like he had found the backbone.

"What happened?"

Chen Ze went straight to the point. During this time, he was used to the dependence of the governor on him.

"Guan Ping, come on!"

Yang Mingzhong looked sideways at the tall and thin young man.

"Yes!"

Guan Ping promised, turned to Chen Ze and said, "my Lord, my subordinates were sent by General Yang to explore the enemy near Ketan city."

"It has been calm for the past few days, but three days ago, the Scout team found that there were a large number of troops gathering more than 30 miles west of Ketan city!"

"More than thirty miles west?"

Chen Ze was stunned and couldn't help falling on the huge map hanging on the side of the hall.

This map is a panorama of Nantes province. As early as starting from bo'an City, Chen Ze had studied the terrain of Nantes province. He was familiar with the general situation.

Guan Ping said that more than 30 miles west of Ketan City, if you move the marching line to the West

Fengqi province!

This is another province close to Nantes province. It also belongs to the territory of Zhu Yan empire. It can be known that this province is broad in the name of Feng.

At the same time, it is also the province closest to Ketan city among the three main cities of Nantes province. Starting from Ketan City, it only takes about 10 days to reach Luofeng city at the edge of Fengqi province.

Of course, the status of Luofeng city is similar to that of Xiyun city in anluoxing province. They are all marginal towns, and there are not too many troops.

If it were just a Luofeng City, it would not be able to support Nantes province.

At the beginning, Chen Ze paid attention to Fengqi province. The final conclusion is that this large province closest to Nantes province cannot support Nantes Province in a short time.

The reason is that although Fengqi province is large, it can face more powerful enemies. It is the largest empire in the mainland's comprehensive strength, Bailie empire!

Fengqi province shoulders the important task of resisting the white lie Empire all year round. Although there are many troops under its jurisdiction, it is absolutely afraid to move lightly.

Especially now, the war between Nantes province and anluoxing province has attracted almost attention from all sides. I believe that by now, the results of the two sides have already been placed on the table of the commanders of major provinces.

At this time, how dare Fengqi province send troops to aid Nantes province?

There are too few soldiers to fight down. If there are too many soldiers, there will be problems in their own defense. Since Bai lie Empire ranks first, it is the most ambitious one in the world on this continent. They will never miss this opportunity.

At that time, it will not only be the problem of losing a Nantes Province, but also lead the whole body, and even Fengqi province will be eroded by others.

The loss of two provinces in succession will be a huge loss too painful to breathe in the Zhu Yan empire.

Therefore, even if the commander of Fengqi province wants to help, Zhu Yan empire will strictly order him to protect himself first and will never allow this to happen.

In that case, where did this army come from?

Guan Ping was a little clever. When he saw Chen Ze's look, he immediately shut up until Chen Ze thought for a moment and asked, "how big is your so-called large quantity?"

As soon as the plane color was correct, he hurriedly said: "in terms of scale, it is estimated that there are between 1 million and 1.5 million. Please forgive me. My subordinates can't get too close. The accurate number can't be detected at present, but it won't go beyond this range!"

"One million to one and a half million?"

Chen Ze was even more stunned. This number was even more than he imagined.

You know, even Fengqi Province, which is not weak, has accounted for almost one-third of the troops of the whole province.

Suddenly losing one third of their troops, how can they guard against the massive attack of the Bailey Empire?

"Does the other party have a flag?"

Chen Ze asked again.

"No!"

Guan Pingying said, "the troops assembled carefully. According to the observation of their subordinates, they even tied cotton to their horses' feet, and the soldiers tried to carefully wrap any reflective weapons with black cloth."

"The gathering place is another sunken canyon with bushes. If the subordinate team didn't accidentally find that there are weak fireworks rising in the canyon and run to explore, it's estimated that they can't find it until now."

Chen Ze's eyebrows wrinkled deeper.

What's the meaning of this?

More than one million troops, which has exceeded the total strength of Qingyang Empire led by him and Yang Mingzhong. Moreover, their 600000 troops are divided into three cities. In fact, on average, each city has a strength of more than 200000.

It should be easy for millions of troops to attack any city. They can't fight at all.

With such crushing strength, what is the need for them to hide?

To put it mildly, there was no need to fight in which city the army went to. Chen Ze and his men had to withdraw from which city until 600000 troops gathered in one city.

If so, Chen Ze and his family should have lost two cities right now. Only the city of ter, which is closest to Boan City, can be defended.

But it's just defending. It's very difficult to recover the lost land again, even if Zheng Yuanyun's follow-up troops arrive.

Zheng Yuanyun was followed by a million troops. It was estimated that they would arrive in these two days, but it was too late. After losing two cities, the gate of Nantes province was closed to them.

If you still have to attack by force, even if the other party divides troops to defend, the two cities will leave 500000 defenders respectively. If you want to fight down, you will lose your strength. So, how can you spare the strength to attack and occupy the whole Nantes province?

This is the situation. This sudden army doesn't need to be so deliberately hidden. As long as they are under the city, Chen Ze's life won't be very easy.

However, they not only didn't launch an attack, but also ran to a canyon to hide. What's their intention?
