The Era of Generals

Chapter 258 How did you do it?

"grown ups!"

On the other side, at the place where Yan Haomiao was stationed, scouts galloped over on horseback, got off their horses after a long distance, and knelt in front of Yan Haomiao on one knee.

"How's it going?"

Yan Haomiao, who had just had a drink with Xu Guiliang and others, was slightly drunk and waved his hands nonchalantly.

Chen Ze was exhausted in order to capture Xifeng City, but Yan Haomiao was here leisurely, without the slightest sense of urgency that the battle was imminent.

For him, his more than one million troops are just pawns used to pull the opponent's troops. The main combat power is still in the Mohe province, so he is of course happy to relax.

And after hearing the report from his subordinates, this leisure began to become a little dignified.

"My lord, the army of the Qingyang Empire...successfully captured Xifeng City!"

The scout reported to Yan Haomiao in an extremely amazed tone.

Even though he saw it with his own eyes, he felt unreal at this moment, as if he was still in a dream.

"What did you say?"

Yan Haomiao's body straightened suddenly, and the slight hint of alcohol in his eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant.

That's right, Chen Ze said he was going to fight Xifeng City, and Yan Haomiao agreed, but he didn't think Chen Ze had the strength to take down Xifeng City, after all, it was a joint defense of four cities!

I don't think it's the same thing, but the necessary attention is still needed, so Yan Haomiao sent scouts to hang far behind Chen Ze's troops, and the opponent's every move could not escape his eyeliner.

The reason for doing this is that apart from hoping to grasp Chen Ze's departure, if the other party dies under Xifeng City, he can make adjustments early, or Chen Ze knows that he has fallen into a pit and wants to take him with him. The army fled around a big bend, and Yan Haomiao would never let him go.

He imagined various situations after Chen Ze left with his troops, but he never thought that the other party would really take down Xifeng City!

Are the generals of the Zhu Yan Empire all idiots?

A city with hundreds of thousands of defenders can't defend a siege force of 100,000?

For a moment, Yan Haomiao felt that he was an idiot. Facing an enemy army like Fengqi Province, he hadn't defeated it for decades.

He has always been aware of Chen Ze's movements, and the scouts sent out have always sent him news.

So he knew that just last night, Chen Ze's troops were still resting near the border, and Xifeng City fell after only a short night?

This is also the reason why the scouts are far away, afraid of being discovered by Chen Zejun. Of course, even if they are close, with Chen Ming and Gu Qingfeng's lurking methods, they may not find out what Chen Ze is doing at the border.

So for Yan Haomiao, he didn't know that Chen Ze was clearing the guard post, he just thought that the other party thought it was getting late and let the army rest first.

He was still on the border yesterday, but today he captured Xifeng City. What kind of ghost speed is this?

"What's going on, how did he lay it down?"

After being surprised, Yan Haomiao asked loudly.

"That's...that's how it was done!"

The scout himself was also at a loss, since he was so far away, wasn't that what he could see?

To say that the only thing he could see was that Chen Ze's troops charged so fast that they rushed to the bottom of the city before the defenders of Xifeng City could react, and after that...

Isn't it just a normal siege battle?

The range of Zhang Fei's anger and roar was not that big, all the scouts who dared to look at from a distance could see was that Chen Ze ordered people to attack the city, and then they left, and then the head of Xifeng City didn't know what was going on. Without any resistance to Chen Zejun, he allowed him to break through the city gate, and finally entered the city in one fell swoop.

The situation was like this, the scouts also told the truth about what they saw and heard without reservation, but the more so, the more at a loss Yan Haomiao heard.

"That's how it was captured?"

"Without a battering ram, the city gate was smashed by people alone?"

"The gates of Xifeng City are just paper!"

He was asking the scout, but he was also asking himself, the more he asked, the more angry he became, and he suspected that the scout was lying to him, but there was no evidence.

"This... this..."

The scout himself was also in a daze, unable to answer Yan Haomiao's question, he could only kneel on the ground on one knee, with cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

As a scout, he knew very well that his investigation this time was a failure. Although the other party was right under his nose, and his every move was so clear and clear, he was completely at a loss in this clarity, unable to find any clues at all. .

Yan Haomiao gave him a cold look, knowing that if he asked again, he would not be able to ask anything. After thinking about it, he turned to ask: "Then what is the reaction of the other three cities?"

The scout knew about it, and quickly said: "The Qingyang Army should have cleaned up their eyeliner before attacking Xifeng City, and the entire Xifeng City was also blocked by them. It is estimated that the other three cities have not received any news yet."

Yan Haomiao pondered, this was not beyond his expectation.

Since Chen Ze dared to take the city, he must have thought of this. Otherwise, if he rashly captured Xifeng City, wouldn't he become a living target for the other three cities?

"Pass down the order..."

Yan Haomiao thought for a while, then suddenly sneered and said: "Send scouts to contact the other three cities outside Xifeng City, and spread the news that Xifeng City has fallen as soon as possible!"

As soon as this remark came out, even the scout was stunned, and raised his head to look at Yan Haomiao blankly, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

"What are you still doing!"

It wasn't until Yan Haomiao glared at him again that he woke up like a dream, and quickly responded, going down to deliver Yan Haomiao's order.

"This must be done quickly!"

When turning around and retreating, Yan Haomiao emphasized again.

"My lord, you want to..."

It wasn't until the scouts retreated that Xu Guiliang approached him and said with a puzzled expression, "You don't want Chen Ze to occupy the city?"

Yan Haomiao glanced at him, and suddenly asked: "I will give you one hundred thousand troops, can you take Xifeng City overnight?"

"this……"

Xu Guiliang was stunned, then thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, even if my subordinates can take Xifeng City, it will not be so fast, and then consider the other party's support, if it is only a hundred thousand troops... "

"I think, I can't take down Xifeng City!"

While talking, Xu Guiliang gradually became amazed, "How did he do it?"

Xu Guiliang is not an ordinary follower, he himself is a high-ranking general with a military rank as high as the commander-in-chief, and even he thinks he can't do it, so I really can't figure out how Chen Ze can do it.

"You don't need to delve into this for now!"

Yan Haomiao was also shaking his head, but there was a murderous look in his eyes, "It doesn't matter how he did it, the problem is that this son is not from my Bailie Empire!"

"Since it can't be used by me, it's better to erase it as soon as possible, what do you think?"
