The Era of Generals

　　 "The soldiers are coming down the city!"

　　As soon as this statement came out, Chen Ze's eyes flashed brightly.

　　Four days ago, that is to say, one day after he led Meng Yang and others to leave Boan City, the Zhu Yan Empire launched an attack on Boan City!

"That…"

　　 He looked at Mr. Jing hopefully, but what he saw was that the other party nodded slightly.

　　 "As the lord of a city, Master Zheng has the right to ask for secondment of soldiers in his powers. I cannot refuse unless there is a valid reason."

　　 Mr. Jing said lightly, "So last night, Master Zheng had already mobilized 40,000 troops to go to Bo'an City. He is afraid that he has already traveled hundreds of miles away, and he won't be able to catch him back for a while."

　　 "If you had come one day earlier, I knew the strangeness in the Forest of Poisonous Mist, I might be able to persuade some troops, but now it's too late to say this."

　　 really is a real brother.

　　Chen Ze smiled bitterly. The brother relationship between Zheng Yuanlong and Zheng Yuanyun was a problem that he had been having a headache on the road.

　　 "The situation seems to be developing in the direction you speculated, so in your opinion, how should you deal with it?"

Mr. 　　jing looked at Chen Ze with a smile but not a smile, as if he was not worried about the current situation at all.

"I?"

　　 Chen Ze frowned for a moment, and Shen Ning said: "If it is convenient for Mr. Jing, I would like to know the current situation of the strength of West Cloud City first."

"Yes." Mr. Jing said directly: "At present, the remaining forces in West Cloud City are two thousand. If the force of the outer blockade of the Poisonous Mist Forest is combined, there will be another six hundred. In addition to the four hundred of the city defense force, the total force is Three thousand."

　　 "But one thousand of them are old, weak and disabled soldiers, so they shouldn't be of much use."

　　 only three thousand?

Chen Ze's heart sinks slightly. He previously estimated that there were about 50,000 soldiers stationed in West Cloud City, but the total number was only 43,000. Although the entry and exit were not too big, the Lord of West Cloud City had walked thoroughly and brought him directly. Forty thousand elite soldiers were gone.

　　 Even if you leave ten thousand...

　　 While sighing in his heart, he also knew that although Zheng Yuanlong was walking in a hurry, he still considered the situation of the Poisonous Mist Forest, otherwise I was afraid that he would have to take another thousand elite soldiers to go.

　　 There are four to five thousand serious offenders in the Forest of Poisonous Mist, but after all, they are not well-trained troops, and they are even fighting each other constantly, which can be regarded as a mob.

　　 In addition, it has been calm for so long, and the Military Aircraft Department has not received the eyeliner report planted in the Forest of Poisonous Mist. Therefore, Zheng Yuanlong wanted to leave two or three thousand troops to deal with emergencies.

　　 Even if those felons find that West Cloud City's forces are empty and get into trouble, they want to take West Cloud City with four or five thousand people?

　　 Attacking a city is harder than defending a city. With these scattered mobs, even if the number is twice as many as the defenders, it's a big deal that they can still rush in without fighting behind closed doors?

　　 The worst result is that those felons took the opportunity to break through the blockade, escape from the forest of poisonous mist, and disperse the birds and beasts.

　　 But there is no alternative.

　　 Which is more important between Boan City and thousands of felons?

　　 After the war is over, it is a big deal to issue a general order to arrest people and bring them to justice.

　　 But... the mob?

　　The Zhuyan Empire is leading the charge, and I don’t know how long this matter has been planned. I am afraid that thousands of felons have been trained into elite soldiers!

　　Yes, siege requires a lot of siege equipment. The spies of the Zhu Yan Empire cannot be brought in from outside, but don’t forget, where is the Poisonous Mist Forest?

　　 is the forest!

　　 Catapults, siege hammers, ladders...Why can't I get local materials?

　　 With the current three thousand people...

　　 Thinking of this, Chen Ze said anxiously: "Mr. Jing, can you order the soldiers on the blockade to be withdrawn first?

　　 "Withdraw it?"

Mr. 　　jing frowned and said, "That's not a blind man anymore. We are completely kept in the dark about what the other party does."

"No!"

　　Chen Ze shook his head and said, "West Cloud City is currently weak, and one point can be saved, and we don't need to know their movements!"

　　 "For now, things will develop in three different directions."

He popped a finger, "First, the next guess is wrong. The people in the Forest of Poisonous Mist did not reach cooperation with the Zhu Yan Empire. They are still in a mess. Even if they know that the strength of West Cloud City is empty, they dare not move, but are safe. Staying inside, this is naturally the best result."

"Second!" He popped a second finger, "Still assuming that there is an error in the inference below, the felons inside can't bear to rush out of the poisonous mist forest, but they also decided not to come to attack the city, at best to escape, this Although it's troublesome, it's not unacceptable at this very time."

"third!"

Chen Ze slowly popped his third finger and said in a deep voice: "If the conclusion is true and the two parties have reached a cooperation, then they will definitely come to attack West Cloud City. Do you know that their movements are no longer important, because the other party will Take the initiative to appear in our sight."

　　 "Instead of distributing troops, it is better to defend the city with all your strength, and at the same time, to withdraw the soldiers on the blockade line can also send a signal to the opponent, that is..."

　　 "We have been aware of their plan and have been prepared so that the other party will not dare to commit indiscriminately under the vigilance, so that at least we can delay some time."

After a pause, he saw that Mr. Jing still had no intention to speak, and continued: "At the same time, two more fast horses are sent. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com chasing Master Zheng all the way, hoping to recover some reinforcements and rush all the way. In the neighboring city of Qiu Ding, Master Zheng may not be impatient in Qiu Ding city. Maybe the troops are still there, they can increase their support."

　　 "Even if Qiu Dingcheng has no soldiers to support, it can at least serve as a warning, so that Qiu Dingcheng will have a precaution in advance. If those people see that they can't attack Xiyun City and turn to Qiu Ding, they won't be caught off guard."

　　 Speaking of this, he actually has one more sentence left.

　　The purpose of delaying time is of course to wait for reinforcements, but at the same time Chen Ze is also waiting for his general to cool down.

　　Today in a battle with Gui Jianshou, he used the white general star and later Cheng Yu. The two general stars can no longer be used today. At present, there is only one Wu Anguo, and his strength is greatly reduced.

　　 Now it is almost evening, as long as it is dragged to the next hour, a new day will begin, and the cooling of the stars will end, and then Chen Ze will have a useful general.

　　 The voice fell, and Chen Ze waited for Mr. Jing's response.

　　 In fact, so far, he still hasn't figured out what the other party means. He has always said that the other party only occasionally answers a sentence or two. Does this person really believe him, or does he have a mystery?

　　 This doubt, Mr. Jing answered him with action.

　　 "Come on!"

　　 He called out loudly, and within a short while, an orderly soldier pushed in.

　　 "Order to go down, shoot arrows from the tower and call everyone back. Remember, every soldier who returns must be scrutinized, and if there is any suspiciousness, kill it on the spot!"

　　 Mr. Jing, who had been indifferent all the time, had a sense of solemnity in his eyes, so that the body of the orderly trembled with horror, and rushed out in a cold sweat.

　　 Turning his head back, he looked at Chen Ze and said with a smile: "Are you weird, why do I believe you based on your own words and still act according to your plan?"
