Chapter 249

"100000 troops?"

Yan Haomiao's eyes twinkled. He looked at Chen Ze carefully and confirmed, "you only need 100000 troops?"

Chen Ze happens to have 100000 troops in his hand, which Yan Haomiao naturally knows. But if Chen Ze wants to attack a city on the border with only 100000 troops, Yan Haomiao doesn't believe it.

Although it was said last night that the border towns were poorly defended and easy to fight, it was easier to fight than Yan Haomiao had millions of troops on hand.

As Chen Ze said just now, Fengqi province will not have no response if there is an accident in Nantes province. Even if it can't increase troops in Nantes province for a while and a half, it will also bring the troops in the affiliated cities close to Nantes province closer to this side in a planned way.

According to Yan Haomiao's estimation, Xifeng City, which agreed to give up to Chen Ze, may have between 100000 and 150000 troops at the moment.

Although Yan Haomiao didn't see such a force, it was the joint defense of four cities. Once one of the cities was attacked, the other three cities could come to support at a very fast speed, and could gather a force of 50000 to 600000 in a short time.

This number of troops was originally set up by Fengqi province to guard against the Qingyang army invading Nante province. Not to mention that guarding the city alone is enough, even if it is not enough, there are cities within the province that can increase troops here.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Yan Haomiao to put his army on the border but stand still. This move will really make Zhu Yan's empire very uncomfortable and drag his troops into a mess.

To tell the truth, Yan Haomiao is sure to take the four border cities, but Chen Ze?

With only 100000 troops, he dares to say he can capture a city?

It's better to kill yourself.

After receiving Chen Ze's confirmed response, Yan Haomiao frowned slightly and understood each other's meaning in an instant.

This is all forced by yourself!

Chen Ze was also forced by himself to have no choice but to make such a bad decision. Otherwise, as soon as the new Commander arrives, his military power will not be guaranteed. He has made no achievements and casually accepted a cooperation between the Empire. At that time, he will be bad.

Therefore, unable to convince himself, Chen Ze had to take risks and lead his own 100000 troops to capture a city.

As long as the city can be laid down, the subsequent commander is unwilling, so he can only take over the city laid down by Chen Ze. Whether the city can be held or not is none of Chen Ze's business.

There is always some credit.

But the question is, can he really fight?

To tell the truth, Yan Haomiao doesn't believe it.

But it's nothing. It doesn't matter to him.

It's also good to have Chen Ze to stimulate Zhu Yan Empire, which is more convenient for his previous deployment, makes Changping city feel uneasy, and then sends more troops to help.

Since he is willing to send this to die, why not do it?

"Brother Chen is really so sure?"

Yan Haomiao asked with a light smile.

"What if I'm not sure?"

Chen Ze shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile, "aren't they all in the plan of general Yan?"

At this time, he didn't mind hard top Yan Haomiao, which was sarcastic.

What kind of person is Yan Haomiao?

Of course, if nothing happened, he said with a light smile: "since brother Chen is willing to be the vanguard of the siege, I naturally have no reason to disagree, so please give it to brother Chen!"

After hugging Chen Ze, he asked, "where we are now, we are not far from the four border cities. I don't know which city brother Chen wants to fight?"

"I can cooperate with brother Chen here!"

Just don't make trouble for me.

Chen Ze whispered in his heart and said quietly, "what do you think of playing Xifeng City, counsellor Yan?"

"Xifeng?"

Yan Haomiao glanced forward and nodded: "OK, the city promised to give it to brother Chen. Since you want to get it yourself, it's naturally better. Of course, brother Chen, you must also understand that your request is really beyond my plan, so..."

He paused and said in a deep voice: "if there is any problem during the siege, I don't necessarily send troops to save it. Everything can only depend on yourself!"

The implication is that even if Chen Ze is surrounded by the other party, Yan Haomiao, an ally, will only watch and will not provide any help.

"I know this naturally, so I won't bother counsellor Yan!"

Chen Ze arched his hand on the horse's back. As soon as he said this, he didn't want to be entangled too much by Yan Haomiao. He said goodbye to him and turned his horse's head to return to the array.

But Xu Guiliang didn't follow him anymore. He didn't want to accompany him when he knew he was going to die.

Until Chen Ze went far away, he drove his horse to Yan Haomiao, looked at Chen Ze's back and asked, "Sir, this boy won't make any moths secretly?"

"He?"

Yan Haomiao picked up his eyebrows and mocked: "his plan is good, but the military rank is too low. Now he is a mouse that has got into the bellows. Both ends have to be angry. What else can he do?"

"It's good to think of this way that may have vitality. I don't believe he can still win in defeat!"

…………………………………………

"What?"

In this wing, Chen Zeying, who returned to the array, was surprised by Luo Zongbing.

"You only led 100000 troops to attack Xifeng City?"

Commander Luo frowned and said angrily, "this damn old man, where is this or what cooperation?"

"Brother Chen, as I said, since he is unkind, don't blame us for our injustice. It's better to shoot and break up!"

"This..."

Chen Ze said with a bitter smile, "commander in chief, do you think we can still retreat now?"

All of his 100000 people were trapped among Bai lie's army. He could even clearly feel that most of the cavalry forces that had allowed them in before were moving to their rear array, blocking the origin of Chen Ze's army, and did not give them a chance to break out of the siege.

Commander Luo's eyes flashed, "so we can only move forward?"

"Not us."

Chen Ze shook his head and said, "I don't want the commander in chief to go with me to attack Xifeng City."

"What do you mean?"

Luo Zongbing interrupted, "do you think my Luo Bei is a generation who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"No, commander in chief misunderstood what I meant."

Chen Ze quickly waved his hand and comforted Luo's commander-in-chief and said, "but I have one thing to ask you. This must be done by the commander-in-chief himself!"

Seeing that commander Luo had to speak, he said again, "this matter is very important, even related to the lives of me and the 100000 soldiers. Please don't refuse!"

As soon as commander Luo listened, he restrained his anger for the moment, frowned and asked, "what do you want me to do?"
