The Era of Generals

Chapter 247 - Bait

Without further delay, after Xu Qing had reorganized the army, Chen Ze, Luo Zongbing and others led the army to gather at Yan Haomiao under the guidance of Xu Guiliang.

Naturally, it is impossible for a 100,000-strong army to take the underground river, and of course there is no need for that.

Xu Guiliang led the way, and when Chen Zejun walked around the canyon to the other side, he could already see rows of densely packed human heads from a long distance ahead.

In comparison, although Chen Ze's 100,000 people are not a lot, they are nothing.

With Xu Guiliang around, the cavalry in charge of patrolling and guarding in Yan Haomiao's army did not stop Chen Ze's troops, and directly let Chen Ze lead his 100,000 people into the army. Let the army stand by in the vacancy left.

Then he and Xu Guiliang rode their horses and galloped forward.

With the size of the army formation, just from the center formation to the front formation, the two rode their horses and galloped for about two quarters of an hour before Chen Ze finally saw Yan Haomiao in armor at the front of the formation.

The general, although he has the word general, is a counselor, but seeing Yan Haomiao's aura at this time, he has the air of a general who wants to charge forward.

"Brother Chen!"

When Chen Ze rushed to the front under the guidance of Xu Guiliang, Yan Haomiao looked sideways, and immediately burst out laughing. He sat on the horse's back and spread his hands, and said loudly, "How about my outfit?"

The corners of Chen Ze's mouth curled slightly, and he responded to Yan Haomiao's question with a smile. When he rode his horse and came to the other party, he cupped his hands and said, "General Yan, I have come as scheduled. I don't know when to leave?"

The two sides belong to two countries, and with President Luo's reminder, Chen Ze didn't intend to exchange pleasantries with Yan Haomiao, as soon as he made contact, he immediately got to the point.

"Brother Chen seems to be more eager than the old man to attack Fengqi province?"

Yan Haomiao looked at Chen Ze meaningfully.

"Soldiers are expensive and fast!"

Chen Ze said sternly: "We have such a large-scale army operation here, we can't hide it from Zhu Yan Empire's eyeliner, and we are located very close to Fengqi Province, so those who are interested can see our movements at a glance .”

"That's why I think it's better to act earlier, lest Fengqi Province take precautions and cause unnecessary trouble."

His words can be regarded as sincere, but Yan Haomiao burst into laughter in return.

It wasn't until the laughter stopped that he looked at Chen Ze and said, "If you didn't know that brother Chen is a general of the Qingyang Empire, what you said just now really seemed like the advice of the old man's staff."

Chen Ze frowned slightly, the battle was imminent, this old guy still had the mood to tease him?

With a slight turn of his heart, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said in surprise: "So, General Yan Shen has actually already made a move?"

As soon as these words came out, the hearty laugh on Yan Haomiao's face froze for a moment, and then disappeared.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly shook his head, full of regret, and said: "It's a pity that brother Chen is not from our country, otherwise I will definitely protect you as a high official and rich salary!"

"General Yan is absurd."

Chen Ze arched his hands, as if he responded to the other party's compliment, and said calmly, "So, our side is actually a bait?"

Yan Haomiao didn't hide it, and didn't care about the crowd, he admitted generously: "Yes, after you and I reached a cooperation last night, the old man gave the signal, so we don't need to rush to attack the city at all, we just need to wait a little longer For a moment, it is enough to attract the attention of the Zhu Yan Empire."

"However, Brother Chen, you can rest assured that the Xifeng City that promised you will never be without you, and when the success is complete, someone Yan will definitely offer it to you!"

The more Chen Ze listened, the more he frowned.

He understood Yan Haomiao's meaning, so what he meant was that the 1.7 million troops on their side didn't need to do anything at all, they just acted as bait.

Yan Haomiao's goal is still to stick to Fengqi Province and confront Mohe Province, the main city of Fengqi - Changping City!

The strategic significance of this city is similar to that of Bo'an City to Anluo Province. It is a main city with a wide city and thick walls, a large population and strong strength.

Most of the battles between Mohe Province and Fengqi Province revolved around attacking and defending Changping City. Once Changping City was captured by Mohe Province, they could drive straight in and fight endlessly inside Fengqi Province. The provincial capital will be under the iron hoof of Bai Lie's army!

It's a pity that it is so difficult to capture Changping City. Even though Yan Haomiao has been planning for many years, he has not been able to achieve his wish.

What Chen Ze didn't know was that when Yan Haomiao joined the Qingyang Empire, his purpose was to use the troops of the Qingyang Empire to attack Nantes Province, and use the defeat of Nantes Province to create an opportunity for him to attack Fengqi Province .

However, although he started from the bottom all the way, he finally reached the high position of general in the Qingyang Empire, and he was full of ambition. When he wanted to compete with Zheng Yuanyun for the post of commander of Anluo Province, he was discovered by the father of General Luo The clues, so that he will pay for everything.

Unexpectedly, without his leadership, Zhang Chengwang's eagerness for quick success gave Yan Haomiao the opportunity to implement the plan that he could not complete back then.

So in fact, this is the real reason why Yan Haomiao decisively led the army to attack Bo'an City when Zhang Chengwang poured all his strength from Nante Province into attacking Bo'an City.

Although Chen Ze didn't know this plot, he could still imagine Yan Haomiao's whole plan.

Nantes Province is adjacent to Fengqi Province, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the two are one. Therefore, although Changping City has a large army and extraordinary strength, but in the small border town adjacent to Nantes Province, But it has almost no defensive ability, and it is not difficult to fight it down.

In fact, Chen Ze could probably imagine that in order to cope with the current situation, Fengqi Province must have increased its troops to Ruxi Fengcheng and other four border towns in a row to prevent the invasion of the Qingyang Empire.

But this increase in troops is not too much. After all, the Qingyang Empire has only 500,000 to 600,000 troops invading Nantes Province. Compared with Fengqi Province, the commander of Qingyang Empire is more ambitious at this time. , is still occupying the province of Nantes.

The increase in troops is just in case, but if the opponent is really not afraid of death and dares to invade Fengqi Province, I am not afraid. At most, I will lose one or two small cities, and wait for the operation of the troops in Fengqi Province to be completed. , which can be called back at any time.

But the appearance of Yan Haomiao made this just-in-case action change in case.

The strength of 500,000 or 600,000 troops has suddenly increased to 160,000 or 160,000, what is this concept?

This is an amount that completely throws Fengqi Province into chaos!

Especially when they knew that the person commanding this army was the old opponent Yan Haomiao, the Fengqi Province did not dare to let him seize the small border town.

With the number of Yan Haomiao's troops at this time, it is easy to come in, but it is difficult to drive out again.

Therefore, Changping City will definitely send additional troops to support.

But this move was Yan Haomiao's plan!
