Chapter 446

Juhecheng.

Zheng Yuanyun, who kept retreating here, didn't want to stay for more than half a minute. As soon as he arrived in the city, he ordered his soldiers to start replenishing grain and grass materials, and collect the 50000 troops left here. After being ready to integrate, he continued to retreat.

Although Juhe city has strong urban defense and sufficient materials, in Zheng Yuanyun's vision, this city is not his ideal place to make a comeback.

The most ideal city, Zheng Yuanyun had thought about it all the way back. It should still be Xilong city!

Although he retreated from the front line and entered Xilong City, once there were pursuers behind him, it was natural that the inland gate of Xilong city would launch an attack, so the moat that Xilong city believed to rely on would be useless.

But even if the moat that made Zheng Yuanyun suffer enough, Xilong city is still larger and more suitable for garrison than Juhe city.

You should know that in the past, Xilong City, as the gateway of Nantes Province, was the general existence of the main city, and its urban defense construction was not comparable to ordinary cities.

It's just a pity that Zheng Yuanyun ordered the city to be slaughtered in order to restore morale and vent his anger. When he left, he set fire to Xilong city.

Fortunately, Xilong city is large and strong enough. After being burned by the fire for five days, although most of the facilities in the city have been destroyed, at least the framework is still there. If it is only used for guarding the city, it can be barely used.

However, it always takes some manpower to repair, which makes Zheng Yuanyun feel a little regretful.

However, at that time, how could he expect that he would return to Xilong city again, and had to rely on the solid city defense of Xilong city to defend the pursuers of Nantes province?

Of course, now is not the time to regret. Only by retaining his own strength can he achieve later results. This is also the choice made by Zheng Yuanyun in desperation.

And he also obviously felt that the morale of his soldiers had fallen sharply after running away these days.

Especially in the process of withdrawal, Zheng Yuanyun still sent a lot of eyeliner to watch the situation on the other side of Tianyuan city. On the one hand, besides wanting to guard against the pursuit of Ouyang, he wanted to see Huang Chengjian's situation on the other hand.

Of course, Huang Chengjian was abandoned by him, but after all, he still has 500000 elite soldiers and strong generals. If he was not wiped out by Ouyang, he could still get some back.

Unfortunately, the result was that Huang Chengjian didn't know that Zheng Yuanyun had run away. He sent a messenger back to the main gate to report his crisis to Zheng Yuanyun, and wanted Zheng Yuanyun to use the heavy cavalry to support him.

The result was such a delay. Not only did the soldiers trapped in the other party's ambush not run away, but Huang Chengjian, as the commander, did not retreat successfully and died directly outside the left gate of Tianyuan city.

After all, this matter was not concealed. When the soldiers who came back to report it to Zheng Yuanyun, it also spread in the army.

When Zheng Yuanyun ordered to retreat, many generals expressed dissatisfaction with this. Now, hearing the news of Huang Chengjian's death, their dissatisfaction with Zheng Yuanyun has reached the peak. At present, there is still a reason. The mutiny is only in the day and night.

This also gave Zheng Yuanyun a headache. His majesty, the supreme commander of anluohang Province, once peaked after entering Nantes Province, but then plummeted. At present, he has become the most questioned one in the eyes of everyone.

But what can he do?

If it had not been for the order to retreat, it would have been not only Huang Chengjian who died in Tianyuan City, but also Zheng Yuanyun and all his soldiers.

Unfortunately, Zheng Yuanyun saved the lives of his soldiers while protecting himself. However, who will remember him now?

What they saw in their eyes was that their commander was greedy for life and afraid of death. He left his men in Tianyuan city and ran for his life alone.

Is such a manager worth their life?

I don't know when they will become the next Huang Chengjian and the abandoned son abandoned by Zheng Yuanyun?

In Zheng Yuanyun's army, in the process of running all the way, although such rumors and rumors have not been told in front of Zheng Yuanyun, he has also heard them.

Zheng Yuanyun can only pretend that he can't hear. At the same time, he is more urgent. He urgently needs a big victory to stabilize the shaky military heart.

But at the same time, Zheng Yuanyun also deeply understood that only relying on the current military strength, even if he returned the military strength of the five cities, he was not confident that he could fight with Ouyang.

Even in the big cities such as Juhe City, he was not confident that he could defend it. Instead, he had to retreat again. On the one hand, he returned his troops and on the other hand, he returned to Xilong City, which has stronger urban defense.

More importantly, after Xilong City, Ketan city is not far from his base camp in Nantes province. It is more convenient to deploy troops or retreat again.

I can only bear it for a while.

Zheng Yuanyun can only make a secret decision when Jing and other men execute his orders. At this time, the high-pressure power he has always liked no longer works. Even he has to carefully maintain the relationship between soldiers and generals. Once he is a little careless, it is very likely to trigger an uncontrollable mutiny.

So at this time, when the integration of Juhe city had not been completed, Zheng Yuanyun suddenly received a loud arrow from the rear.

Through the special information mark in the resounding arrow, Zheng Yuanyun knew that this was the information from Ma Hui.

Finally, there is good news.

Zheng Yuanyun thought that Ma Hui was in the rear of Ketan City, and Zheng Yuanyun always knew that the other party had 500000 elite soldiers entrusted by him.

As long as the 500000 elite soldiers are still there, Zheng Yuanyun can immediately solve the urgent need.

It's not that if Ma Hui's troops come over, he can immediately fight against Ouyang and even take down the whole Nantes province. However, his control over the 500000 elite troops is the strongest, and this army has the highest loyalty to him.

With these 500000 elite soldiers, Zheng Yuanyun will no longer be afraid of mutiny in the army. Even if it does, he can regain control of power means and deal with it directly with a high-pressure policy.

After losing most of his troops, Zheng Yuanyun urgently needed an army that absolutely obeyed him to return to his command.

The 500000 elite troops in Ma Hui's hands are exactly what Zheng Yuanyun urgently wants at present.

Moreover, after carefully interpreting Ma Hui's arrow information, Zheng Yuanyun's heart suddenly became hot.

According to Xiangjian, in addition to Ma Hui leading his elite troops, Zheng Yuanyun asked Xiao Du to go back to the reinforcements moved by the two neighboring provinces. Unexpectedly, they arrived at this time!
