"Brother Chen, Yan Haomiao is really as old as you think. He doesn't dare to hit us here."
Opposite the rear array of the Bai lie Empire, Chen Ze and Luo Zongbing rode side by side. Luo Zongbing was happy at the moment, just like enjoying a wonderful performance and looking at the war ahead with satisfaction.
Yan Haomiao's movements are natural. Scouts are constantly shuttling between the two sides, reporting the latest war situation to Chen Ze and Luo Zongbing.
In particular, Yan Haomiao personally took charge of the rear army, which is the focus of the report.
It is reasonable to find that the other party's commander ran to the rear army to command. This should be to think that Chen Ze would be the main attack target of Bai lie empire. But when commander Luo raised this doubt, Chen Ze answered for him.
Commander Luo noticed that Yan Haomiao's people had come, but what he was organizing was not attack, but defense with all his strength.
In other words, he's just buying time.
The reason why he wants to buy time at this time is self-evident.
Of course, the reason why Chen Ze has such an analysis and can be so confident is that in addition to the observation of the war situation, the most intuitive is the map from the system.
From arranging to sneak into the scouts' office in the war situation, Chen Ze can intuitively see that a large number of soldiers belonging to the Bai lie empire are converging to the fortifications.
It is worth mentioning that in the general star system, the white empire is no longer the green representing allies, but has become a blue light spot. On the contrary, the soldiers of Zhu Yan Empire have a tendency to turn green on the map.
From the map, Chen Ze completely understood Yan Haomiao's idea, but for this, he just held a cold smile.
Want to capture Xifeng City for solid defense?
This direction did not exceed Chen Ze's expectations.
In fact, in today's situation, there are not many ways for Yan Haomiao, just those.
Either advance or retreat, or... Surrender.
After entering the city, he can only fight hard with Zhu Yan Empire and lay a fortification, but he also needs to guard against the subsequent increase of troops of the other party and the attack of his own troops when they are under the city. Therefore, Yan Haomiao does not dare to stay in the fortification.
So where else can he go when he enters Fengqi province?
Xifeng City abandoned by himself will be the only choice. Unless Yan Haomiao is determined to fight with Zhu Yan Empire, he will choose to attack Dongping city.
If you retreat, there is actually no way back.
Yan Haomiao had to face not only his own military blockade, but also the troops of the Qingyang Empire who arrived later. There was no retreat at all.
Not to mention surrender. As the supreme commander of Mohe Province, Chen Ze believes that Yan Haomiao has some backbone. He would rather die in battle than surrender.
Then the other party's action is easy to guess.
Xifeng City is no doubt!
But I'm afraid things will make Yan Haomiao feel desperate.
Let's assume that he really broke through the defensive fortifications weakened by Zhu Yan's carelessness to underestimate the enemy, and let him rush to Xifeng City. What Yan Haomiao saw was no longer an empty city.
But an... Abandoned city!
Since he guessed Yan Haomiao's plan, Chen Ze certainly won't have no countermeasures.
He won't let Yan Haomiao have a way to go.
Therefore, when he evacuated from Xifeng City, he ordered his men to do something cruel to Bai lie or Zhu Yan.
Burn the city!
What he couldn't get was destroyed. Although he was sorry for Xu Feng's heartfelt words to him that day, Chen Ze resolutely chose to set fire to Xifeng City!
Fortunately, Chen Ze had ordered people to drive out all the people in Xifeng City. When his army left, there was no one in the city. It was an empty city at all.
Burning the city, that is, burning materials. Chen Ze walked suddenly and couldn't bring much luggage. Therefore, he ordered people to take away as many materials, grain and grass as possible without affecting the marching speed. The rest that couldn't be taken away were all burned up.
In this way, although Zhu Yan empire will jump and scold his mother afterwards, Yan Haomiao is even more furious here.
Chen Ze's fight is his rear army. What is the most imperial army?
Grain and grass supplies are the most!
After this baptism, there would have been nothing left of the originally sufficient materials. Yan Haomiao's desperate struggle is based on the large amount of materials left in Xifeng City.
This move is the desperate plan that makes Yan Haomiao cry!
Therefore, after seeing Yan Haomiao's decision, Chen Ze was not in a hurry at all. Even when the other party set up a horse resistance array to guard against his elite cavalry, Chen Ze also ordered Meng Yang not to rush too high, and took the preservation of troops as the first priority.
To put it bluntly, what he can do has been done. At this time, he is not against the protagonist, but just a bystander.
After blocking Yan Haomiao's retreat, Chen Zegen didn't have to choose to pursue and attack, and then let his side lose too many troops.
He just needs to watch the fire from the shore.
With this in mind, Chen Ze didn't plan to send more troops to Meng Yang, so he let him lead the 50000 cavalry to attack each other vertically and horizontally in the rear array.
Even under the command of Yan Haomiao, Bai lie's soldiers became more stable, and their morale was restored because of the sharp decline in casualties after the formation, so that the range of Meng Yang's ability to rush was gradually reduced.
Chen Ze doesn't care at all about this. What he has to do is to keep his front and don't let Yan Haomiao feel that he has the opportunity to change his mind.
As for Yan Haomiao
"Damn boy!"
The enemy's reduction in attack frequency could not escape Yan Haomiao's eyes. He only thought a little and understood Chen Ze's intention. That's why he yelled.
Although Yan Haomiao doesn't know the fact that Xifeng City has become a sea of fire, he also knows that Chen Ze clearly wants to trap him. He really doesn't give him any way to live!
According to Yan Haomiao's mind, it is true that the former army attacked Zhu Yan's empire, but he himself is in the rear army. As long as he feels that he has a chance, he will choose to change the front array and the rear array without hesitation, break through Chen Ze's blockade and escape from heaven.
Zheng Yuanyun hasn't arrived yet!
Yan Haomiao kept this message. As long as Zheng Yuanyun hadn't arrived, if he could make a time difference, he might not be able to rush out of Nantes Province before Zheng Yuanyun arrived!
However, Chen Ze is not prepared to leave such a small opportunity to him.
Instead of taking the opportunity to tear up the defense array temporarily arranged by Yan Haomiao, the large number of troops he has in hand are strictly guarded. They are blockaded on the periphery and do not give him any chance to escape!
