Chapter 725

"It shouldn't be!"

Chen Ming seems to have carefully checked it again, which gives Chen Ze a positive answer.

"What do you say?"

Chen Ze asked directly.

Originally, he could directly see what Chen Ming saw through the video function, and then distinguish the authenticity by himself.

However, his combat achievements are not much. The combat achievements consumed by opening a video are unmatched by voice calls alone.

Second, he still believes in Chen Ming's judgment.

When he finished his first task, Chen Ming's scouting work played a key role.

So Chen Ze doesn't think he needs to see it in person.

"Childe, these traces are not like those left by the army."

Chen Ming replied, "the traces left by the regular army on the March will not look very scattered and disorganized as I saw."

"It looks more like a trace of the rampant horse bandits!"

Chen Ming has seen horse bandits. At the beginning, he saw many similar traces in the forest of poisonous fog, so he is very confident now.

"Horse bandit."

Chen Ze nodded. In other words, it means the same thing to be an outlaw. "

"In your opinion, how many?"

He asked again.

Chen Ming pondered for a moment and solemnly said, "there should be more than 30000 people."

"More than 30000 people?"

Chen zezi thought carefully. It seems that the number is not much different.

If you can rob three cities at a very fast speed, the number of these bandits must reach a certain scale.

Even if the three cities were empty at that time, there were at least a large number of civilians in the city. If there was no certain force deterrence, it was not certain who would fight.

So there are 30000 troops, which is a more suitable number.

Chen Ze thought for a moment and ordered, "well, you should first touch these traces to see if you can find people. If you can't, you should also see where the traces go."

After all, I can't leave now. Chen Ming has no task for the time being. It's not impossible to follow the past.

The main reason why Chen Ze cares so much about these rogue bandits is that Chen Ming is responsible for the direction facing Chen Ze's destination.

That's where the hostages were held.

Chen Ming's trace is going in that direction, which makes Chen Ze have to care.

Moreover, at this time, most of Chen Ze's heart can be sure that the traces found by Chen Ming should be those left by the wandering bandits.

The reason is simple.

In today's situation, there are fewer and fewer security areas in Fengqi Province, so many bandits are forced to avoid it far away.

Just like Huangliang, and also like those bandits who suddenly appear near the border.

Their activity area must not overlap with the march route of the white lie Empire, otherwise they will either be annihilated or captured and become the cannon fodder for the white lie Empire to attack the city and pull out the stronghold.

Who wants to make cannon fodder?

So you must run.

Moreover, this is not a aimless run. It must bypass the army of the white lie empire.

In this way, their activity space will be compressed again and again.

The bandits are bandits after all. In the process of escape, they can't change their nature, so they made the looting of the three border cities.

It can also be seen from this that the leader who led the roving bandit is estimated to have had the experience of a general, and his judgment of the situation is still very accurate.

Therefore, they did not go to Nantes province after robbing the three cities.

Because he is very clear that the situation in Fengqi province is not good, a large part of the reason lies in Nante province.

At the moment, Nantes Province, which is in deep water, is a hundred times more dangerous than Fengqi province.

Running to Nantes province is tantamount to looking for death.

But it is also impossible to stay in the three border cities.

After all, they took advantage of Huangliang's attack on Dongping city to seize the three cities, which can be regarded as the fruit of Huangliang's victory.

Staying in the three border cities is not equivalent to waiting for fenghuangliang to retaliate?

At that time, a fierce battle will be fought, and the outnumbered bandits may not be Huangliang's opponents.

In the bandit forces, the standard for judging the strength is very simple, that is to see who has more people and who has fewer people.

There are many people in Huangliang, so he is a cow. Since he has been hungry, when will he stay if he doesn't run at this time?

Then the escape route is actually obvious.

You can't go to the main city of Fengqi province or escape into Nantes province. Therefore, Chen Ming's position has become the first choice.

There is the place where the Bailie Empire imprisons old Chinese hostages.

The position selected by the Bailie empire was not a very important strategic place in Fengqi Province, and up to now, a large number of troops have been pressing towards the main city, so that there are fewer and fewer troops guarding the hostages.

In that case, the Bai lie empire will not make a big fuss in that place, but mainly keep a low profile, just hold the hostages and complete the task.

Therefore, the peace was misunderstood by the leader of the wandering bandits, who thought that it was beyond the reach of the Bai lie empire. At present, it can be passed, and maybe two more cities can be robbed along the way.

And this explains the people sent by Huangliang

Through the analysis of the current situation, Chen Ze almost took the psychological activities of the wandering bandit leader to the extreme.

What needs to be determined now is what Chen Ming will find after following the traces.

These bandits have been away for at least half a month, and the time is indeed a little long. Considering that there are four to five cities in the straight-line distance from Dongping city to the place where the hostages are held, Chen Ze believes that they may still be in time.

Originally wanted to integrate all the troops in the four border cities, but unexpectedly, the development of things exceeded Chen Ze's expectations, but

If the judgment is true and those guys are impartial, they just went in that direction

Perhaps, there are still places to use.

Chen Ze thought silently. At this time, Meng Yang and others also came to the martial arts training ground, but then took up the position of instructor according to Chen Ze's order.

On the one hand, Chen Ze asked Meng Yang and others to make the bandits have a certain combat capability as much as possible, and on the other hand, he was trying to restore some combat power for the prisoners as much as possible.

In order to train the troops originally belonging to Huangliang as much as possible, Chen Ze even attached generals to Meng Yang and Guo directly, allowing them to strengthen the training of these scattered bandits with their strongest strength.

It can be imagined how ghosts cry and wolves howl on the playground.

Compared with the original 5000 troops in Dongping City, it is much happier.

Their combat effectiveness is low, especially in recent malnutrition. This is Huangliang's fault.

At present, we just need to supplement them with enough nutrition.

Just as Chen Ze was watching the soldiers' training, only a day later, Chen Ming's message came back.
