Reborn after the apocalypse, stocked up on supplies but still afraid of not having a goddess?

"As ordered!"

The messenger seemed to have seen the hope of victory. Not only was his voice louder than before, but he also ran much faster than before.

As soon as the gunshot was heard, the game of chess officially began.

It seemed like they were just testing each other at the beginning, but in fact it was a decisive battle from the beginning.

Battle reports kept coming in from the front line, and Ye Zheng responded calmly.

As Ye Zheng expected, the Cao family was intercepted in this direction and immediately changed direction to break out from another place, but they were quickly beaten back.

Listening to the news from the front line and watching Ye Zheng's planning, Yang Nianzhen and Zhao Lianming became more and more excited and nervous.

They were excited because they had made the right bet. Ye Zheng was indeed very capable. With only 80,000 men, he was still not at a disadvantage against the 100,000 regular troops of the Cao family.

They were nervous because they all did some small actions, which would be bad if Ye Zheng found out.

But at least until now, Ye Zheng hasn't discovered it.

This made them even more excited.

Zhao Lianming was so excited that he was a little restless. He sat down, stood up, and paced back and forth in the room.

Ye Zheng suddenly turned to look at him, his eyes full of confusion.

For a moment, Zhao Lianming was a little panicked.

After being stunned for two seconds and giving two dry laughs, Zhao Lianming said, "Brother Ye, you are indeed a military genius, worthy of being a scout."

Yang Nianzhen also echoed, "It seems that the Cao family can't escape today. All this is thanks to Brother Ye!"

Although the words were all compliments, Ye Zheng could tell that they were too perfunctory.

Of course Ye Zheng could also act according to the situation.

"This can't all be attributed to me. After all, I just played a small role in assessing the situation. The real work was done by the two brothers.

The combat effectiveness of the soldiers under your command is indeed quite good. I admit that I underestimated you before.

It seems that you have some talent in leading and training troops."

"Hahaha, where is it!"

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it! Haha..."

The atmosphere in the room was a little weird for a moment. The three of them were trying their best to flatter each other, and everyone seemed a little absent-minded.

Everybody was laughing, but everyone's laugh was fake.

After praising each other for a while, Ye Zheng suddenly looked outside the door in confusion, with a serious expression.

Seeing Ye Zheng suddenly become so serious, Zhao Lianming felt a little flustered, "What's wrong, Brother Ye?"

Yang Nianzhen stood up and looked outside the door. There was nothing in the yard, so he asked curiously, "Brother Ye, what are you looking at?"

"Is it that there is no messenger coming back again?"

Yang Nianzhen looked at his watch. "There has been no news from the front line for about an hour. Is there a problem?"

Zhao Lianming laughed and said, "I guess the Cao family has given up resistance? They may send someone out to negotiate soon."

Ye Zheng walked out of the yard and listened carefully for a while. It was very quiet nearby, as if the battle had never happened and the gunfire had stopped.

In the past, this remote town was usually so quiet, but now it is not the same as before.

This strange silence made Ye Zheng feel uneasy.

Ye Zheng quickly returned to the command room, picked up a pen and looked at the map. He prepared to write several times, but raised his pen several times. While hesitating, sweat dripped from his forehead onto the map.

Zhao Lianming and Yang Nianzhen both noticed Ye Zheng's abnormality. In their impression, Ye Zheng had never lost his composure like this before.

"What's wrong, Brother Ye?"

"What happened?"

Ye Zheng raised his head and said hesitantly: "Is it time for the decisive battle?"

"decisive battle?"

"There's still a decisive battle? Isn't it enough to just surround them and wear them down until they are desperate, and then annihilate them?

How come the decisive battle started in less than a day?

They won't despair if they just start fighting now, right?

The Cao family army's losses were not that great, but our team is exhausted from running back and forth. Isn't it inappropriate to fight now?"

Ye Zheng closed his eyes and thought for a moment before putting down the pen in his hand. "Then let's wait and see!"

In the blink of an eye, another hour passed.

For two consecutive hours, there was no movement at the front line. This time, not only Ye Zheng was a little panicked, but Zhao Lianming and Yang Nianzhen were also panicked.

Yang Nianzhen asked first: "Brother Ye, what's going on? Why did the Cao family give up on breaking out?"

Zhao Lianming was smart for once, "The Cao family won't surrender so easily, right?"

"It's time for the decisive battle!"

This time, Ye Zheng answered very decisively.

"Are we really going to have a decisive battle?"

"Can't we just keep beating them?"

Ye Zheng replied: "The Cao family army has been silent for two hours, but they will definitely not surrender now.

Therefore, there is only one possibility, they are gathering their troops and preparing to break out in one or two directions."

Zhao Lianming and Yang Nianzhen looked at each other and asked, "How should we deal with this?"

Ye Zheng looked at the map for a while, then picked up a pen and circled two places on it.

"We must stop them! I estimate that the Cao family will definitely break out from these two places, which are the routes they chose to break out at the beginning, Dayao Village and Majiatun.

Now, we need to gather all our forces at these two points as quickly as possible.

If Cao's army breaks out from one direction, our team in the other direction must immediately rush to support them, and we must be quick.

If Cao's army breaks out from two directions at the same time, we must resist head-on and not retreat a single step even if we die!"

Yang Nianzhen stood beside Ye Zheng and looked at the map. "The terrain of these two places is not conducive to defense. If we are outnumbered, I'm afraid we will have little chance of winning, right?"

Zhao Lianming also had beads of sweat on his forehead. "Is there still a fight? Why do I feel like we are going to lose?

Although we surrounded Cao's army, I feel that our people seem to be more tired than them."

"Fight! We must fight! As long as we can withstand the Cao family army's breakout this time, we will win! Brother Yang is right, it is indeed difficult to fight a decisive battle with a small number against a large number.

How about this? We send all our remaining troops up there and just leave a few messengers at the command post.

Anyway, there won’t be anyone else nearby to attack the command post.

What do you think? "

Zhao Lianming patted the big bald head fiercely, "This is a good idea!"

Yang Nianzhen looked at Zhao Lianming with some doubt. "There are only about two or three thousand people near our command post. How much effect can they have? If we send all of them out, what if the enemy attacks the command post? What should we do?"

"The Cao family army has not yet broken through, so who would have attacked the command post? Brother Yang, you are worrying too much! The most important thing now is to completely block the Cao family army.

I think the command post doesn’t need to worry!”

Yang Nianzhen thought for a moment and nodded, "What you said seems to make sense, so let's do it!"

Ye Zheng shouted to the messenger, "Pass on my order. All the people in the command post will rush to Dayao Village to provide assistance. The four divisions closest to Dayao Village will all rush to Dayao Village to assemble. The rest of the divisions will quickly assemble in Majiatun!"

Seeing that Ye Zheng's order had been issued, Zhao Lianming smiled proudly.
