Chapter 404

"Lord Chen!"

While Guo Zi was introducing Chen Ze, from the army entering the city, a general with armor walked to Chen Ze with sonorous steps and bowed to him.

As soon as Chen Ze saw it, he took a step aside and didn't accept his gift. Instead, he said with a smile: "Lord Du Tong, why is this? I should tell you first that it's not far to welcome it."

The general is a governor. In terms of military rank, although he is a military general, he is still much higher than Chen Ze's assistant leader.

It's too strange for people to see the salute from the high rank to the low rank.

The governor also said with a smile: "Lord Chen is polite. Although the general is the general leader this time, Mr. Hua had explained before leaving. When these soldiers brought them to Lord Chen, they listened to his orders, including me."

With this, he took out a token from his arms and handed it to Chen Ze. He said, "this is the military aircraft token given to you by old Hua. With this token in hand, these 100000 troops only obey the orders of Lord Chen. They would never have said anything in vain."

This time, Chen Ze was not polite and looked upright. When he received the token, he also thanked the governor.

"By the way, I don't know the general's name?"

After carefully collecting the token, Chen Ze asked again.

"I don't deserve it. The general's surname is Huang Mingshi. He used to work in front of China's old accounts. This time, China's old man finally stopped avoiding the world. Lord Chen has absolutely made great contributions. Speaking of it, I have to thank Chen Da!"

Chen Ze nodded clearly. Sure enough, this man is a confidant of the old man, that is, like the chief military aircraft officer of Xiyun city and Mr. Jing, he was a general who had followed or even received the favor of the old man.

Chen Ze had guessed that even if Hua Lao retired, his forces would not die. At that time, Mr. Jing did have the intention to pull Chen Ze into the partnership, but Chen Ze never said anything.

Now that Hua Lao is out of the mountain again, it is normal for those diehards who have followed him to gather in Xiyun city.

This should be the case with Huang Shi. Therefore, old Hua was relieved to hand over the military power to him for the time being, and he took it to Nantes province and transferred it to Chen Ze. He was not worried about any changes.

It can be seen that Huang Shi is also a person deeply trusted by Chinese and Lao people.

So he didn't neglect it and ordered people to return Huang Shiying to the city Lord's house to settle down, while he himself stayed at the gate.

Inside the gate of Ketan city is a huge square. 100000 troops entered through the gate and lined up on the spot. A whole 100000 people were not crowded.

Chen Ze stood on the temporary troop ordering platform, glanced around the stage and couldn't help nodding slightly.

Through the magnifying glass, he can see that the quality of these soldiers is not low. Most of them are between ordinary soldiers and elite soldiers. Although they are not as good as the 100000 elite troops given to him by HuaLao tune, this time they are allocated in a hurry. It is good to have this quality of soldiers.

The purpose of the simple instruction was to let the soldiers know themselves. Considering that these soldiers had just experienced a long journey, he didn't make more arrangements, so he asked Xu Qing to lead the team to settle down in the barracks temporarily.

However, before leaving, he still explained that he asked the soldiers to wear clothes and be ready to march again at any time!

So far, Chen Ze was slightly relieved.

Everything awesome is still in his grasp now. It is contrary to expectation that Ning Zheng just lost the west dragon city. But fortunately, Ouyang did a lot of work to enforce it.

He didn't use Chen Ming to remind him. He kept in touch with Xilong city on the March. A large number of scouts came and went back all the way, passing back the first-hand information at any time.

Therefore, how to defend Xilong city and how to lose it, Ouyang's strict execution is clear.

In fact, when Ning Zhenggang asked the surrounding cities to gather their troops to Xilong City, Ouyang knew it was bad.

He also climbed up from the bottom step by step. He couldn't understand Ning Zhenggang's mind. Therefore, he knew that even if he sent someone to persuade Ning Zhenggang, it was useless.

In the final analysis, although they have high and low military ranks, they belong to two different provinces, and there is no subordinate relationship between them. He can give Ning Zhenggang suggestions, but he can't give orders directly like his subordinates.

This led to Ouyang's strict implementation. Even if he found the wrongness of Xilong City, he was helpless and could not influence Ning Zhenggang's action.

Then what he can do is to make himself get to the established place faster, so as to eliminate the impact caused by Ning Zhenggang's intention.

Therefore, when Zheng Yuanyun ordered the city to be slaughtered, Ouyang acted forcefully and ordered all the soldiers to move at full speed.

Originally, he was prepared to give his tired soldiers a chance to breathe during the journey. At least when they arrived at the scheduled location, the recovered soldiers could immediately enter the battle.

But now he can't. He can only ignore the status of the soldiers. At present, the first priority is to get to the border as soon as possible.

So when Zheng Yuanyun attacked the city and plundered the land, Ouyang tried his best to compete for time. It should take a month to finish the road. Finally, half a month later, he reached the established border city.

Simon, Hezhu and Tianyuan are three border cities inland in Nantes province. Because they are located inland, they usually do not encounter war, so it is conceivable that the urban defense is lax.

However, fortunately, the war ahead was defeated, and the massive invasion of Nantes province by the enemy has already spread all over the province. Therefore, long ago, the City owners of the three cities were stepping up the construction of urban defense.

Also, the three cities are far away from Xilong city. They have not been recruited by Ning Zhenggang. The total strength of the three cities is 200000.

However, there is no need to look forward to the quality of soldiers.

Then Ouyang came. He was the chief soldier and arrived with more than two million reinforcements. The City owners of the three small towns were not half tangled. They quickly handed over their military power and were under the unified command of Ouyang.

The matter was urgent, and Ouyang was not polite. He directly took over the military power and urban defense, and even began to deploy defense.

At the same time, a total of 200000 soldiers in the three cities were also gathered by him. While there was still some time, Ouyang started training on the eve of the war.

As the saying goes, it's OK to increase the combat power by at least 10% to 20%, even if we can't expect these soldiers to make a qualitative leap in this half month.

Therefore, under this intense preparation, Zheng Yuanyun's army, like a sharp knife, finally cut into the last fig leaf of Nantes province.
