The Era of Generals

Chapter 296   Dilemma

"Master Chief Soldier!"

Chen Ze, who came out of the city gate, saw General Luo at the front of the team for the first time. He immediately got off his horse and bowed to him.

Whether it is in terms of military rank or the fact that the other party brought troops to help, they all deserve his gift.

"Hahaha, Brother Chen!"

Zongbing Luo didn't dismount from his horse, but looked at Chen Ze from the horseback and laughed, and said happily, "Brother Chen, brother, I'm lucky to live up to my fate this time!"

When Chen Ze came to attack Xifeng City, he had no choice but to do so. At that time, General Luo had to follow him.

Although he has no soldiers at hand, the attendants with him are all extraordinary, and I believe they will be helpful.

However, on the one hand, Chen Ze did not want to expose his secrets, and on the other hand, he really needed a big man with the right to speak to help deploy reinforcements, so after some persuasion, he asked Mr. Luo to return to Tel City.

"Master Zong Bing speaks too seriously, how can I stand up for it?"

Chen Ze smiled, said polite words in his mouth, and took two steps forward to greet him. With a glance, he immediately understood where the half a million people came from.

Yang Mingzhong was riding side by side beside Zongbing Luo, and was winking at Chen Ze at the moment.

After all, there were 200,000 to 300,000 enemy troops staring at them outside the city, and they didn't stay too long. Under the guidance of Chen Ze, all the 500,000 troops entered the city.

At this moment, Xifeng City can be said to be an empty city. Except for Chen Ze's own 80,000 to 90,000 troops, most of the places are empty. It is very easy to settle these reinforcements.

The settlement of the soldiers was handed over to Xu Qing, while Chen Ze, Mr. Luo, and several other mid-level generals returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

It wasn't until this time that General Luo told Chen Ze what happened when he returned to Tel City, and let Chen Ze understand why they led Yang Mingzhong's 500,000 soldiers to Xifeng City The reason for the reinforcements here.

"Brother Chen, this Zheng Yuanyun is really disgusting. If you still want to hang out in Anluo Province, you must be more careful with this person!"

After explaining everything from leaving Chen Ze to coming back, Mr. Luo frowned slightly, and reminded Chen Ze in a solemn tone.

Chen Ze nodded, for Zheng Yuanyun, he didn't need to be reminded by Luo Zongbing, of course he was always on guard against Zheng Yuanyun.

In fact, if Zheng Yuanyun hadn't been taken into account, he would not have had to choose to attack Xifeng City far away after he was put together by Yan Haomiao.

After all, there is a Luo Zongbing who is no less powerful than Zheng Yuanyun by his side. If Zheng Yuanyun doesn't play tricks on him, he can get out of this incident with just a word from Luo Zongbing.

Then, apart from Zheng Yuanyun who was reminded by General Luo, Chen Ze was still wary of another person.

That is Yan Haomiao!

I don't know what's wrong with this old guy, but at the critical moment when the Bailie Empire attacked Fengqi Province, he still had leisure time to target him everywhere.

Even Chen Ze began to have some doubts. Could it be that Yan Haomiao has noticed something, and that's why he has been trying to restrict him?

Compared with Zheng Yuanyun, who was only narrow-minded and wanted to limit Chen Ze from the level of military exploits, Yan Haomiao was the one he cared more about.

If he had the opportunity to choose between Zheng Yuanyun and Yan Haomiao, he would choose to kill Yan Haomiao without hesitation!

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen?"

Perhaps Chen Ze was a little absorbed in his thoughts, and he only came back to his senses after Luo Zongbing yelled twice.

"What?"

Chen Ze asked.

"I just asked you, what are you going to do next?"

Zongbing Luo frowned slightly, and repeated his question once.

That was not the case.

Originally in the plan, Chen Ze's purpose of defending Xifeng City was to wait for reinforcements to arrive. At the same time, he was also waiting for the generals who commanded the support army to take over Xifeng City.

In this way, he will be able to retire, and what will happen next is none of his business.

After all, when he was in charge, Xifeng City was indeed brought down, and when he left, the flag of the Qingyang Empire was still flying on the top of Xifeng City.

However, the problem at hand is that there are indeed a large number of reinforcements from Bo'an City rushing to Tell City, and the general who was ordered by Zheng Yuanyun to lead the reinforcements has indeed taken over Tell City and Ketanxili, a total of three cities. defense.

But that's all.

Due to Zheng Yuanyun's order, the new commander could not send troops at will, but could only distribute a large number of reinforcements among the three cities. Come here, and then we will carry out the plan to attack Nantes Province in an all-round way.

To put it bluntly, Zheng Yuanyun was greedy for credit and didn't want others to get involved in this huge credit.

But in this way, the current supreme commander in Nantes Province will naturally not come to Xifeng City. In fact, the Luo Zongbing put the sword on the opponent's neck at the beginning, but it didn't make him change. This person is Zheng Yuanyun's loyal loyalist.

As a result, General Luo became the supreme commander of the support army.

Therefore, Chen Ze can leave if he wants to, and take away nearly 90,000 troops under him, but the mess of Xifeng City will be handed over to Mr. Luo.

After all, Xifeng City has been captured. No matter what, Xifeng City belongs to the Qingyang Empire, so it is impossible to abandon the city directly.

So at this time, Xifeng City has turned into a hot potato. Although it is tasteless to eat, it is absolutely unacceptable to throw it away.

This is the real reason why Zongbing Luo asked this question.

Do you still want Xifeng City? If you want it, why do you want it?

In Luo Zongbing's mind, Xifeng city guards cannot be defended.

Don't look at Chen Ze's steady defense for so many days, but everyone knows that the further the city goes, the more difficult it is to defend.

Xifeng City is an isolated city. Except for the half a million soldiers brought by General Luo, it is foreseeable that they will not receive any support for a long period of time.

In this way, the loss of materials is a problem. When the civilians were expelled from Xifeng City, although they did not let them take away too many resources, there will always be a day when they are exhausted.

In particular, the 500,000 soldiers brought by Luo Zongbing, on the one hand, were in order to march quickly, and on the other hand, Zheng Yuanyun's subordinates were unwilling to give more. It's just Fengcheng.

As a result, the consumption of food and grass in Xifeng City had to increase by five times.

The second problem is the loss of troops.

Not long ago, with the determination to fight to the death, Chen Ze sent troops out of the city to fight a big battle with the border coalition forces.

Although the battle was completely won due to the opponent's improper command, but even so, Chen Ze's side still paid nearly 10,000 soldiers.

Others can increase their troops, but what about him?
