The Era of Generals

Chapter 257 - After the War

The balance of military exploits: 3.29 million!

Conquering a Xifeng City brought Chen Ze more than 2 million military rewards!

After excluding the expenses, he made a net profit of about 1.5 million.

The number of defenders in Xifeng City is about 150,000. Whether it is killing or capturing, it will add ten to fifteen points to Chen Ze's military exploits. Moreover, this is only based on soldiers, and there are some who are not counted. Higher combat exploits provided by those with military ranks.

And the reason why there are more than two million is that in addition to the enemy's leader, there is also a big leader.

Speaking of which, this was the first time that Chen Ze personally commanded and laid down a city, and it was also the first time he enjoyed the military exploits rewarded by the system after occupying the city.

Five hundred thousand!

It was a surprise that Xifeng, which was just a small town attached to the border, still brought Chen Ze about half a million military exploits after the city was destroyed.

With more and more functions of the system, more and more places need to spend military exploits, Chen Ze no longer has the illusion that he has a lot of military exploits.

This time he made a lot of money, and even he couldn't help but have the thought of wanting to immediately swing his army before attacking other cities.

Soldiers are extremely fast, and although the total strength of the four border cities is 600,000 to 700,000, if they are defeated one by one and they are not allowed to unite, there may not be no chance.

But after Chen Ze thought about it, he gave up this plan.

The point is that he really wants to be fast, but he can't get fast!

The troops on hand are only one hundred thousand. In order to take down Xifeng City, the army has been in a state of high tension since yesterday, and at the same time it has gone through a period of rapid march.

Therefore, Chen Ze's troops were almost exhausted, and the reason why he was able to display his bravery during the siege battle was more due to the fact that the two legendary generals brought the god general Shuguang to make his soldiers Impressive self-contained skills.

Physically tired and mentally excited, this situation can't last long, so that after entering Xifeng City, he also found that all the soldiers under him were exhausted, and they needed to take a good rest right now.

If there is another army in good condition, Chen Ze can really have the idea of ​​continuing. Of course, he will make a wedding dress for Yan Haomiao, but for Chen Ze, his own improvement is more important.

But if you wait for the soldiers to rest and then go, the timing will be hard to turn back.

Being able to capture Xifeng City quickly, Zhang Fei naturally took the lead, but more importantly, he caught the opponent by surprise.

If it wasn't for the careful cleaning of the sentry post before the siege, so that the other party didn't get a timely warning, I'm afraid that when Chen Ze arrived at Xifeng City, what was waiting for him would not be the defenders who didn't have time to wear clothes and had sleepy eyes.

It's the 150,000 elite soldiers waiting in battle!

Angry eyes and roaring will never be as effective as before when the opponent's formation is ready, and to use this skill, Xu Qing, who is possessed by Zhang Fei, must also go to a position very close to the city.

Will the Xifeng garrison give him this chance?

In order to march quickly, Chen Ze didn't bring any siege equipment, so he couldn't provide any support for the siege vanguard under the opponent's firepower. It's hard to say whether Xu Qing can reach the coverage of the angry eyes and roars.

With his current strength, he can only use this kind of surprise attack strategy. If he is right, unless the opponent is stupid and goes out of the city to fight him, if he just needs to stick to it, Chen Ze has no chance.

Although the guard posts on the border were cleared, so that the four border cities could no longer receive news, but also because of the lack of news, it was fine for a short time, but after a long time, how could the other party not be suspicious?

If you have doubts, you must be prepared, and it will take at least a day for your troops to rest. After such a long time without receiving news from the border, if the other party is not on guard, they are not worthy of owning a city!

In desperation, he had no choice but to give up this plan and focus on rectifying Xifeng City.

He came so suddenly and attacked so fiercely that Xifeng City had no time to respond. Even the city lord of this city didn't know who died in the hands of Zhang Fei or Zhao Yun in the battle just now. The entire Xifeng City All resources are fully preserved.

Although it is not as good as a big city, it still has the supplies of a city.

Grain, ordnance, gold and silver.

After thoroughly reviewing Xifeng City's reserves, Chen Ze directly became an old man, especially grain and grass. For Chen Zejun who gave up all burdens and traveled lightly, this was a great supplement.

The only pity is that this is the Zhuyan Empire, and the gold and silver in the treasury of the City Lord's Mansion cannot be exchanged for corresponding silver notes.

He couldn't stay in Zhuyan Empire's territory for a long time, and the silver ticket stamped with Zhuyan Empire's big stamp was just a piece of waste paper in Qingyang Empire and could not be used at all.

Therefore, Chen Ze could only ask people to pick out some of the gold, silver and jewels that were conveniently available in the treasury and pack them up, so that he could take them away to make a fortune when he left the city, and he could only let the others go.

On the one hand, it is convenient to count the harvest, and on the other hand, while Chen Ze is assigning personnel to rest, he is also commanding some soldiers who are in good condition to start deploying the defense of the city.

Even if the deserters in Xifeng City were blocked, this is naturally not a long-term solution. After a long time, Xifeng City, which has lost contact with the other three cities, will also attract suspicion and eventually become the target of public criticism.

Chen Ze, who broke through the city easily, was not complacent. He deeply understood that he just took down a small border city, and it would not have any impact on the current situation.

So on Yan Haomiao's side, he would not cooperate with other deployments because of Chen Ze's one-shot victory, and he would not even take a second look at the battle situation on Chen Ze's side.

For Yan Haomiao, what he cares about is not what will happen to Chen Ze, but what he cares about is the agreement that Chen Ze reached with him as the representative of the Qingyang Empire.

Now that the agreement has been completed, the troops of both sides have been walking under the noses of the Zhu Yan Empire and even the scouts and spies of the other two countries. This joint venture has been confirmed.

That being the case, whether Chen Ze is alive or dead is out of his concern.

Even because of his personal grievances with Zongbing Luo, Yan Haomiao put him together after Chen Ze agreed to cooperate, forcing Chen Ze to make a plan to storm Xifeng City.

Yan Haomiao would not help Chen Ze defend Xifeng City at all. Instead, he very much hoped that the other three cities would send troops to support Xifeng City. Seize a large piece of land in Fengqi Province.

Therefore, Chen Ze can only rely on himself to defend Xifeng City. It doesn't take long, but he must support it until the new reinforcements from Bo'an City arrive and hand over the city to the new commander.
