The Era of Generals

Chapter 260 Defending the City

Chen Ming crawled in the grass and did not dare to move.

From time to time, troops passed by him. The closest time, those patrolling cavalry who roared back and forth almost brushed his hair and rushed past.

Thanks to Chen Ming, who had learned a lot when performing missions with Gu Qingfeng and others, he also deliberately got a camouflage suit of the same color as the grass when he was lurking, and it was already dark at this time, and the other party was in a hurry, so he was never found .

What he was watching was naturally the troops coming from the other three subsidiary cities on the border.

These troops came very straightforwardly, but they did not rush forward without thinking. After all, the three cities were not on the same starting line, and the troops came with their own fronts and rears. They stopped at a place more than 20 miles away from Xifeng City. , began to build up.

There is an extremely open depression, which is a suitable place to gather troops, but it is also because of the wide field of view, it is not suitable for hiding their whereabouts. Xifeng City only needs to send out a little eyeliner to spot their movements.

This also shows from the side...

The general star on Chen Ming's body is still there, and he can also report the enemy's movements to Chen Ze through the general star system.

So when Chen Ze heard about the other party's assembly point, a cold murderous intent flashed across his eyes.

There is only one reason why the other party is so unscrupulous.

That is, they are well aware of the current situation in Xifeng City!

At least the other party was clear about how many troops there were in Xifeng City.

There are only 100,000 people, so what if they have the advantage of city defense?

They have an army of up to 400,000 here!

Moreover, Xifeng City was originally a small inland city, and there was Fengqi in the front and Nantes in the back.

Such a city, how many city defenses can be defended?

Before Chen Ze captured Xifeng City, apart from taking advantage of his unpreparedness and the blessing of Zhang Fei's general's magical skills, it was not because he took advantage of the opponent's weak city defense.

Among other things, Xifeng City didn't even have a moat. It was because of this that Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun rushed directly to the city and broke through the city gate in one fell swoop.

Naturally, the difficulty of attacking this kind of city with not many city defenses is much smaller.

With 400,000 versus 100,000, plus the fact that the soldiers and civilians in Xifeng City still have a sense of belonging to Fengqi Province, as long as there is a big war outside, the enemy army, who can't take care of themselves, can't care about the situation inside the city, and then there will be another riot in the city , it's a matter of cooperation inside and outside, isn't it easy to regain Xifeng City?

So, how did the opponent know his strength?

Such a clear formation outside the city, it is clear that he knows his manpower, and at the same time, he also knows that Chen Ze has no reinforcements to wait for, and his team is just a lone army.

Knowing such thorough details, it is impossible to say that there is no whistleblower from the inner ghost.

But in Xifeng City, it is impossible for an inner ghost to report the news.

The reason is very simple, Chen Ze has God's perspective here.

He can tell at a glance whether anyone has left Xifeng City. Even after falling asleep, there are only subordinates who have passed the general assessment and are only loyal to him patrolling.

With these people around, Xifeng City is just an iron bucket, and no one will sneak out to report the news.

Then the inner ghost comes from the outside world.

It's that old fellow Yan Haomiao again!

The veins on the face of the clenched fist were exposed, Chen Ze was really angry this time.

He had never seen such a brazen person. It was clear that the two had already reached an agreement to form an alliance, and he also captured Xifeng City according to his agreement. He was making small moves behind his back, trying to put him to death time and time again!

This is the so-called ally?

Ah!

Murderous intent loomed in Chen Ze's mind.

In his heart, the first rule of being a soldier is to keep promises!

People cannot stand without faith, especially on the battlefield, who is willing to hand over their backs to a despicable and shameless villain?

And he seemed to be that fool.

"Yan Haomiao, you... are fine!"

But no matter how angry he was, Chen Ze could only focus on the moment. No matter whether he wanted to seek Yan Haomiao's theory, or he was too angry to kill Yan Haomiao, he had to solve the immediate crisis first. yes.

One hundred thousand against four hundred thousand!

While asking Chen Ming to closely monitor the other party's movements, he is also intensively preparing for the defense of the city.

As I said just now, the difficulty of defending the city this time is extremely high.

On the one hand, Chen Ze had to deal with the enemy forces outside the city, and at the same time, he also needed to guard against possible riots in the city at any time.

Originally, in his plan, it would take at least two to three days for the three border cities to learn about the situation in Xifeng City and then gather troops to help them.

With this time as a buffer, he can implement a series of iron-blooded suppression methods in the city, and then take a few radicals to act as an example, so that the civilians in the city will not dare to act rashly.

Xu Qing's violent methods after possessing Zhang Fei had shocked a large number of people, which facilitated Chen Ze's suppression methods. He even asked Xu Qing to lead the soldiers around the city for two days. It is estimated that it can scare the restless hearts of the soldiers and civilians in Xifeng City.

But obviously not now, the enemy army outside the city is about to attack the city, how can he have time to use iron and blood methods?

Once the battle starts, whether there are thoughtful soldiers or civilians in the city, why don't they rush out madly?

Only then will it really be called the sky and the earth will not work.

Therefore, before the enemy army attacked, the first thing Chen Ze had to do was to eliminate the hidden dangers in the city.

As for how to clear it...

Simply, then...

Chen Ze's face was serious, and he waved to Xu Qing who was returning after completing the instructions.

"Young master, this..."

Xu Qing hadn't possessed himself as Zhang Fei at this time, and after hearing the new round of instructions given to him by Chen Ze, it was rare that he didn't immediately execute them, but showed hesitation on his face.

"This is also a stopgap measure."

Chen Ze said coldly: "If this is not the case, we will be the ones who will die, and the harm between the two powers is the lesser. You must handle this matter properly, and at the same time, you must do it quickly!"

"yes!"

Xu Qing, who was about to persuade him again, was at a loss for words. He also knew that the situation at this time was just like what Chen Ze said, and that there was no time to delay, so he had no choice but to stand upright, and gave a standard military salute to Chen Ze, and then resolutely turned around and walked away. go.

It wasn't until Xu Qing stepped out of the city lord's mansion that Chen Ze sighed and shook his head, looked through the open door to the endless and deep night sky, and sighed softly: "You can't blame me, if you want to blame, you can blame Yan Haomiao. "

The task he asked Xu Qing to perform was astonishingly...

Not long after, the Xifeng City, which had fallen into a deep sleep, began to cry frantically.
