Chapter 496

Juhecheng.

During this period of time, Ouyang's strict execution, in addition to sending people to pay attention to the enemy barracks 50 miles outside the city, his other thoughts were all used to stabilize the situation in the city.

Juhe city changed its master several times, which was a time of panic. In addition, an area was divided in the city to accommodate prisoners of war, which made the civilians more uneasy.

Unstable people, and after Chen Ming left, Ouyang did not know whether there was any eye liner inserted in the city.

As for the situation outside the city, the other party didn't act, and Ouyang didn't take the initiative to provoke. Although Ambassador Zhu Yan, who has been with the army until now, ran to urge Ouyang to do it several times and wanted to strike while the iron was hot and annihilate the enemy outside, Ouyang never moved.

Until the sixth day, the scouts sent out finally got the news back.

However, although the news was a relief to Ouyang, it made the messenger angry.

"Have you retired?"

Ouyang listened quietly to the news reported by the chief scout. His eyes flickered. It can be seen that he felt a sense of loss in his heart.

To tell the truth, Ouyang couldn't tell whether it was right to stay still. What he did was only based on his consistent style of behavior as the basis for judgment, so he made the decision to stay still at this time.

However, the urging of envoy Zhu Yan several times is not unreasonable, and after so many days of inquiry, the information sent back by the scouts has always confirmed that only 500000 people of the other party are stationed outside the city.

Oh, no, the enemy's military strength has changed this morning, but it has only increased from 500000 to 600000. According to the military strength here in juhecheng, Ouyang's strict execution can ensure a win.

But will it really go so well?

Ouyang thought hard. After sorting things out from beginning to end, what can emerge in his mind is the word Chen Ze.

forget it.

He shook his head, gave up this seemingly tempting idea, and decided to take back only half of Nantes province according to his safe practice.

So, under the watchful eyes of Zhu Yan's scouts, this group of Qingyang army took it easy, slowly demolished the camp, and then slowly reorganized the formation. Only then did they finally go back to the way they came.

I can see that the scouts are anxious. Just like the other party, they can't see that there is an ambush. If their own army is here, they can beat the other party!

Although I think so, I turn around and think again. The other party dares to be so calm under the eyes of his own army. Doesn't it just mean that the other party has no fear?

In this way, it seems that general Ouyang's arrangement should be more reasonable?

In any case, the 600000 troops of Qingyang Empire retreated slowly without any attack from Zhu Yan empire.

However, after another two days, Ouyang acted vigorously and received the reward from the scouts, he regretted.

Whether the commander of that force was Chen Ze or not was not very clear about Ouyang's strict execution, but the next movement of the other party suddenly made him regret.

The retreat of the Qingyang army was a complete retreat. When they passed the city previously beaten down by Zheng Yuanyun, they took away all the defenders in the city, just like Zheng Yuanyun's previous move to close down their troops.

Thus, in the six cities between Juhe city and Xilong City, all the troops of Qingyang Empire left empty, leaving six empty cities without defenders.

This

At first, Ouyang firmly believed that Chen Ze was trying to lure him into the bait. According to what the other party did at this time, it was clear that he was saving every minute of his troops and was unwilling to make superfluous losses.

In other words, Chen Ze doesn't have any arrangement. What he wants now is to gather all the troops scattered in the cities so that he can

It can't be an attack, can it?

If he attacked, what would he do if he gave up so many cities?

Therefore, he wants to use more troops for defense, and the cities he wants to defend are naturally the three main cities!

At first Ouyang firmly believed that it was the southern special province where he and Chen Ze each got half, and then he stuck to it with the natural advantage of living in the city until Zhu Yan Empire had soldiers to help.

Chen Ze is more single.

He didn't want any extra cities and gave them all back to Zhu Yan empire.

On the other hand, this is enough to show that Chen Ze is also powerless at present. Even if all the defenders in each city are included, his strength is only enough for him to defend the three main cities.

Well, if I had been more radical and led the army to pursue a wave while winning, would I be able to

No, Ouyang refused to think about it.

It's not that he can't afford to lose, but that he knows very well that regret or chagrin doesn't help when fighting. Since he has lost his fighter, what's the use of remembering what he has lost?

It's better to look forward and think about the next response.

Let's not talk about Ouyang's strict execution, but Chen Ze's side, under the continuous March, has almost reached Xilong city.

The defenders of the six cities along the way were all recovered and gathered together, adding 300000 troops to him.

Although these 300000 were put on the cities along the way by Zheng Yuanyun, it does not mean that they are the weakest group.

In fact, it's not unhelpful for Zheng Yuanyun to drag on for an extra month in order to succeed in one fell swoop. At least the troops he brought to Nantes Province, although they can't compare with the 500000 elite soldiers, they are also serious 800 elite generals. There is no obvious weakness in his original 2 million troops.

It is because of this collection that a total of more than 900000 people, all of whom are capable of great use. In addition, there are 100000 in Ketan City, which is enough to add up to a million, and it does not count the defenders left in Tel and sily.

Holding millions of troops is also the first time for Chen Ze. At the same time, it also greatly increases his confidence. He is full of confidence in the next action.

Of course, Chen Ze is more confident that he will probably not encounter the enemy army in the next action, that is, maybe he can't use this army at all.

A million troops in his hands may just be a pawn that can be used to deter the other side.

But that said, it's not to say that a force of more than one million is not important.

In fact, it is precisely because of such a force that Ouyang will not have any ideas about him.
