One, two!
Twenty one, fifty-seven!
The interception continues!
Every once in a while, Chen Ze will receive reports from Gu Qingfeng or three other people. Each report is the death of one of the other's scouts.
At this moment, 57 scouts have died in the hands of Gu Qingfeng and others.
Because of Wang Ping's general skills, Chen Ze did not send anyone else to participate in the interception, so he only let the four of them pursue one by one.
Fifty seven people, only two of them found the documents for help. In addition, Gu Qingfeng also learned from one of them that there were ten people with the documents and tokens distributed by Xiao Du.
That is, there are eight other people who can also find reinforcements for Zheng Yuanyun.
These can't be let go!
However, in any case, the situation is developing in a stable direction. Another point is that Chen Ze has intercepted and killed 57 people here, but he doesn't know about Zheng Yuanyun.
Not only him, but also the scouts had no connection with each other.
Thanks to Shaw's strategy of dispersing the lurk.
It has to be said that his tactics brought Chen Ze no small trouble at the beginning, but once the matter was solved, the disadvantages of Xiao Du's arrangement appeared.
No one knew he was dead.
Similarly, no one knew that the more than 300 scouts were performing a seemingly safe task, but the task was in danger from the beginning.
It is needless to say what kind of crisis the perceived plan will bring, but these scouts who have no contact with each other do not know that the plan has been leaked.
Therefore, even if they were as careful as possible on their way, they still lacked the most important sense of crisis, so that they didn't respond when they were intercepted by Gu Qingfeng and others.
This even includes Shaw, the first to be intercepted.
There's no problem.
Chen Ze then focused on the location of Gu Qingfeng and others and the location of the more than 300 scouts. He knew that it was only a matter of time to intercept these scouts.
Although we can find two people, we don't have to be nervous.
At this time, he paid more attention to the current war situation of the army led by Zheng Yuanyun.
Starting from Ketan City, about three days' journey, is the nearest affiliated city from the three main cities, named Xilong city.
This city is the first stop that Zheng Yuanyun plans to capture Nantes province. Once he breaks through this city, he can divide the army into three parts, take Xilong city as the stronghold, and spread and attack the other three cities behind it.
Xilong city has a special geographical location. It is the main traffic road that starts from Ketan city and continues to travel to the interior of Nantes province. It strangles Xilong City, which is equivalent to blocking the neck of the whole Nantes province.
Originally, the geographical location of Xilong city was more suitable to be the gateway of Nantes province. In fact, Xilong city was really the starting point of Nantes province many years ago.
But in a later world war, the province of anluoxing was defeated and had to shrink its territory back until it retreated to the natural pass of Boan city.
Then the Qingyang Empire learned from the bitter experience and thought that it was much more cost-effective to take bo'an city as a stronghold than before, and then began to focus on the development of bo'an city.
Today, the city of bo'an is so strong that even if Zhang Chengwang personally led a large army of nearly 3 million troops to the city, he is not fully sure that he can capture the city. Instead, he needs to use the secret strategy to ambush the weak parts of anluoxing province.
At that time, the decisiveness of the Qingyang Empire led to the addition of three main cities in Nantes province.
This is in exchange for victory.
The Qingyang empire can give up decisively, not only because it is difficult to defend, but also because it has just suffered a defeat and has a tight military force, which is a strategic abandonment.
The Zhu Yan empire finally won the battle, and there is no reason to give up the interests they got, but as the Qingyang Empire thinks, that land is really not conducive to defense, unless it is
Unless, on the basis of the cities of the former Qingyang Empire, three main cities are built together to attack and defend each other, so that we can stably occupy the fruits of victory.
This is the origin of the three cities of Tel, sily and Ketan.
As for Xilong City, which originally existed as the main city, although it has an outstanding geographical location, it has been wrapped under the defense system of the three main cities after all, so its sense of existence is becoming weaker and has long lost its former glory.
At first, Zhang Chengwang was defeated and the three main cities were occupied. Xilong city should have been the front line to fight against the invasion of Qingyang empire. Unfortunately, there were no soldiers on hand. Thank God if the other party didn't attack them. How dare they attack them instead.
Even Zheng Yuanyun took so long to come to Xilong city. For such a long time, Xilong city only reluctantly gathered a few garrisons near the city and organized a fairly visible garrison force.
But when Zheng Yuanyun came to the city, it was only 300000.
With 300000 to 2 million, Xilong city may have to be equipped with the hot weapons and heavy firepower that Chen Ze had in his previous life in order to win the offensive and defensive war.
However, it is a pity that this is not Chen Ze's previous life. Even Chen Ze himself can't get those things through the system. The result of this war is actually doomed.
But that's not the point.
The point is, how long can Xilong city last?
Zheng Yuanyun will lead his troops to attack the city and Ouyang to seize the time. This is what was expected. Therefore, at the beginning, Chen Ze made strict suggestions to Ouyang through Chen Ming to let Xilong city and other cities along the way do their best to stop the other party's attack and delay as much time as they can.
Only by obtaining enough time for Ouyang to deploy on the border of Nantes Province, can the result of this war go in a clearer direction.
In the final analysis, what Ouyang has to do now is to make these cities that would have been captured play the final role and become a stepping stone on Zheng Yuanyun's road to success.
The longer the delay, the greater the opportunity, so these affiliated cities have become the key to the top priority at present.
Although it will sacrifice these cities, and even Zheng Yuanyun's act of killing the city in anger is not impossible, how can he take care of these many at this time?
How to choose between one city and one province?
Cruelty is very cruel, but in order to win the final victory, when Chen Ze put forward this proposal, Ouyang also knew the key.
After three days of marching, Zheng Yuanyun's Department has arrived outside Xilong city!
