Juhecheng.
Although Ouyang resolutely refused the command of Zhu Yan's empire to send troops, he showed his dissatisfaction with the Empire's placing his Fengqi Province in the back position.
But one yard to one yard, he will not slack off in Nantes province for a day, which makes this province fall into the hands of the enemy.
Therefore, even if he is angry in his heart, Ouyang's strict defense is also meticulous, strengthening urban defense, exploring the enemy's situation and so on. He has never relaxed at all.
Ouyang took back most of the territory belonging to Nantes Province, with only four main cities and an affiliated city further ahead of Xilong city.
The city was abandoned by Chen Ze and Ouyang.
This is another kind of tacit understanding between the two sides.
A city apart, the two sides are far enough apart, that is, indirectly, they are unwilling to engage in war.
This is Ouyang's wish and Chen Ze's wish. In the past month, both sides have well grasped this distance and have not made a fire.
Of course, Ouyang gave up the small town, but that doesn't mean he won't send someone to inquire about intelligence.
Almost at the same time that Cheng Hong came to Xilong City, Ouyang had actually received the report.
Unlike Zheng Yuanyun, the scouts died completely at the beginning of the battle. In his hands, there are still a considerable number of scouts to use.
Although it is not as important as Chen Ming, a divine scout, in Ouyang's mind, it is also an elite force with enough experience.
Therefore, as soon as Cheng Honggang entered Xilong City, the information about him had been put on the table of Ouyang's strict execution.
This made Ouyang's heart sink slightly.
At this time, there was no movement on his side, so a special envoy came and was scolded and ran away by him, but on the other side, another general came?
Although according to the information, Cheng Hong's arrival did not provide more and more troops for Xilong City, he brought many confidants.
This is no better than the original Hong Tianji. When he came to live in the city, he was alone except with a few soldiers to protect his safety.
So, what is Cheng honglai's purpose?
A general went to Nantes province and brought a large number of generals, so he didn't bring troops?
Ouyang's sinking heart lies in this.
The situation of Qingyang empire is always slightly better than that of Zhu Yan empire. Although Zheng Yuanyun's defeat led to the loss of a large number of elite troops, who can guarantee that Qingyang Empire really has no ambition for Nantes province?
When Cheng Hong arrived, it seemed that he didn't lead the troops. What about behind the rear that the scouts couldn't see?
Xilong city is really an important place. After losing Xilong City, it means that Ouyang has lost all the vision of the three main cities of Ketan xilitel.
The moat across Xilong city completely divided Nantes into two parts, and Chen Ze did not ignore the role of the moat. All along, he has deployed heavy troops along the coast and resolutely prevented an enemy scout from crossing the minefield to inquire about the situation of the three main cities.
At that time, Ouyang was very clear about Chen Ze's purpose.
He is playing cover, not letting himself know the situation of the three cities in the rear, so he can break his mind and continue to defend the city on the basis of Juhe City, rather than shooting at Xilong city without the support of accurate intelligence.
Without knowing the three main cities in the rear, Ouyang acted vigorously and sent troops rashly?
What if the other party had already received support, but did not directly send Xilong city and other front-line cities, but hid in the rear?
On his impulse, as soon as the troops were sent up, the other party rushed out a huge new force. Didn't he throw himself into the net?
Of course, this possibility is actually very small. Just looking at Chen Ze's watertight defense of the moat, he knows his heart is empty. Probably it is to block intelligence and make Ouyang's vigorous action unclear.
Chen Ze can make such a move. In fact, he has proved his own weakness. It is more than half possible that there are no redundant troops available in the three main cities.
But Ouyang was not interested in this. Chen Ze wanted to make a fool of it, so let him make a fool of it, and he just had to make up his mind to stick to the rest of the territory.
However, at this time, Cheng Hong came again.
Cheng Hong's arrival, I have to say, made Ouyang firm and nervous a little.
The identity of the other party is not low, and his men bring many confidants and strong generals. If they come to Xilong city like Hong Tianji, they won't just come to persuade him, right?
Then, what is Cheng Hong's purpose and whether he has brought reinforcements has become a more important question for Ouyang to think about.
Then, the information came in a steady stream. Every time he received the information, Ouyang's heart was heavy.
First of all, he is most concerned about Chen Ze's trend.
According to the scouts' report, since Cheng Hong came, they have never seen Chen Ze at the head of Xilong City, so that they directly let Chen Ze disappear under their eyes!
No wonder the scouts couldn't find out about Chen Ze.
You know, Chen Ze has always been in Xilong city. At most, he goes to the city occasionally to inspect it, so that they can find that he is still in Xilong city.
If Chen Ze doesn't come out, the scouts can't enter Xilong city at all.
This is what Zheng Yuanyun did at the beginning.
After a round of slaughter in Xilong City, the civilians in the city fled like an empty city. Then Chen Ze retreated. Some in Xilong city were only soldiers belonging to Qingyang empire.
This makes the scouts have no chance to go deep into Xilong City, because once they go in, they will be found soon.
So in this case, Ouyang Lixing completely lost the news about Chen Ze.
So, where did Chen Ze go?
While Ouyang was paying attention to this, intelligence came one after another.
The next information that made him nervous was that on the third day after Cheng Hong arrived, Xilong city sent troops!
Although not many, only 100000, this is the first time in January that Xilong city has opened its gate and sent its own army.
Their goal is very clear. Unexpectedly, it is the small affiliated town abandoned by both sides. It is also an empty city!
Cheng Hong, taking the small town, and Ouyang's troops stationed at the front line are already facing each other across the city!
What kind of signal is this sending for Ouyang's enforcement?
Is it difficult for Cheng Hong to regain Zheng Yuanyun's legacy and start using troops in Nantes province?
