Chapter 405

According to the spies, after capturing most of the cities in Nantes Province, Zheng Yuanyun still has about 1.2 million troops on hand.

If only from the comparison of the forces of both sides, Zheng Yuanyun is undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

However, Ouyang's enforcement of the actual situation is very clear.

Although Zheng Yuanyun has few soldiers, his actual combat strength is higher than his side.

You should know that Zheng Yuanyun came from anluoxing province almost a month late when the army of Qingyang Empire advanced into nanthang province.

Although Zheng Yuanyun came so late that he delayed the best fighter, at the same time, his late arrival was not entirely unhelpful.

At least the troops he sent to Nantes province were selected through overall arrangement.

It can be said that even the hundreds of thousands of sword shield hands ruthlessly used by him as a stepping stone in the first World War of Xilong City, if they were put in some small cities, it would make the city master laugh and wake up in his dreams and yearn for the elite soldiers he wants.

Such an army is far more powerful than Ouyang's fierce troops over there.

Ouyang's troops are very large, but in fact, they are all temporarily assembled by more than a dozen cities near Nante Province on the other side of Fengqi province. The real elite soldiers of Fengqi province still stay in the main city and confront Mohe province of Bailie empire.

When Yan Haomiao, who had already collapsed with the mentality of fighting more and dealing with less, was beaten into a tired army. The actual quality of soldiers was not compared with Zheng Yuanyun, but even compared with Yan Haomiao's army.

At the beginning, if Chen Ze hadn't hit the water from the midpoint, Ouyang's vigorous action, although he had the largest military strength, did not dare to act rashly, and even didn't have the mind to set foot in Nantes province and touch Yan Haomiao.

Later, Yan Haomiao's trouble was solved, and the Empire sent envoys to ask him to support Nantes province. At that time, Ouyang was also unwilling to do so.

If his family knows his own affairs, it is only with the soldiers in his hands that it is possible to pile them on the opposite side, and it is only possible.

With the quality of the soldiers he has at hand, Ouyang believes that he doesn't know how he died.

What's more, he has been on his way all the time, while Zheng Yuanyun is fighting and walking from city to city. Although his soldiers are fighting less and less, they are left with murderous elite soldiers, each of whom has been baptized by blood and fire.

This needs a pair. The murderous spirit emitted by the other party alone is enough to scare off most of the recruits' eggs. How else?

So Ouyang didn't have any idea. He really deployed defense between the three border cities according to Chen Ze's suggestion until the murderous Zheng Yuanyun troops arrived.

Tianyuan City, the first of the three border cities, was also the first direct confrontation with Ouyang after Zheng Yuanyun's army advanced.

At the moment, soldiers are coming to the city.

Ouyang did not hide in the rear, but stood solemnly at the head of Tianyuan City, watching each other's army advance to the bottom of the city bit by bit.

"Put the arrow and shoot at your feet."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to stop, Ouyang sternly frowned and ordered the archer to prepare with one hand.

Whoosh!

At his command, a wave of arrow rain flew into the air like locusts. The arrow rain fell and was just stuck less than ten steps in front of Zheng Yuanyun's army.

Zheng Yuanyun rode out of the soldiers. After all, he was a counselor. When he came out, he was accompanied by his confidants.

He raised his head, stared at the magnificent general at the head of Tianyuan City, and said with a smile, "the commander of Ouyang must be at the head of the city?"

Ouyang did not deny it. He stared at Zheng Yuanyun coldly and said, "what advice?"

"Advice?"

Zheng Yuanyun said with a smile, "that's not true, but you and I missed it near Dongping city a month ago. It's rare to meet again today. How about a fight?"

The provocative meaning of this remark is full. When he was on the other side of Dongping City, he didn't move at all, but Ouyang acted vigorously but led the army away. What he meant in this remark was nothing more than to make an article about Ouyang's fierce avoidance of war.

How could Ouyang not hear it and pay attention to it?

Smelling the speech, he smiled and spread his hands and said, "come on, my chief soldier is waiting for you here."

Come on?

Zheng Yuanyun glanced forward. How did this come?

Tianyuan city was originally just a small city, but Ouyang's hard work seemed to have come for many days. Tianyuan city was almost transformed by him.

The first point is that Ouyang has built a new wall outside the original low wall of Tianyuan city.

The wall was built wide and wide, almost completely blocking the whole Tianyuan city in the rear. Ouyang was standing at the head of the city at this time.

The new city wall is built close to the old city wall. As a result, the city wall of Tianyuan city is no longer as narrow as before, but has a certain width. Although it is a backward inclined slope, it can at least accommodate more soldiers at the head of the city for guarding the city.

Zheng Yuanyun also saw that on the new city wall, Ouyang strictly deployed a large number of stone catapults. Next to the stone catapults, there were numerous archers guarding, just like the wave of arrow rain just now. If he dared to order an attack, he was waiting for countless long-range attacks to fall on the soldiers.

This time, it is not like Xilong City, which was crossed by a moat. At the moment, there is no river. Naturally, he can't let the soldiers fill it in vain. Although the damage is inevitable, the normal war damage is different from excessive life.

Zheng Yuanyun doesn't want to be caught up in infighting at this critical moment.

So he laughed loudly and said, "general Ouyang, your words are very interesting. I am also holding the principle of not harming peace. In fact, there is no need for us to fight each other."

"Oh?"

Ouyang said coldly, "you and I belong to the two empires. The enemy and I are so clear that we can face each other without swords?"

"That's OK. If general Zheng can is willing to withdraw his troops and leave, the general can also guarantee that there is no need to fight against each other. He will let you leave and promise not to investigate anything in the past. What do you think?"

This made Zheng Yuanyun laugh angrily, "Ouyang general wants ben to withdraw?"

"It seems that there is no room for negotiation?"

Ouyang said sternly, "how do you want to discuss it?"

Zheng Yuanyun's eyes turned cold and said, "my way of discussion is that if the general army of Ouyang is willing to abandon the last three cities in Nantes Province, the general can also guarantee not to move your Fengqi province. Do you think so?"
