The Era of Generals

They are here?

Chen Ze naturally knew who they were referring to.

Hearing this, he got up from the ground and said with a smile, The time is just right.

Where is the person?

Chen Ming replied: There are a total of 500,000 people in the mountain depression more than 20 miles east of here!

Chen Ze nodded, he knew the amount.

Because this was the force that he had negotiated with Zheng Yuanyun when he led people out through the defensive tunnel.

After all, the defensive tunnel was too narrow. It took him a day and a night for 30,000 people to pass through. It was hard to imagine how long it would take 500,000 people.

So these people went around from the east side of Bo'an City, and it took eight days to enter the designated location.

To make these 500,000 people stand out from Anluo Province, the biggest difficulty lies in the enemy guards on the border. Obviously, Zheng Yuanyun solved this problem very well without letting the army expose their whereabouts.

Otherwise, the Zhu Yan Empire must have noticed something, and it would be impossible to enter Bo'an City calmly.

Now it seems that the result is finally good.

Young master, do you want to go and have a look?

There was a hint of excitement on Chen Ming's face. The layout has reached the present, and he can roughly guess Chen Ze's plan. The 500,000 troops really made him feel excited.

Not in a hurry.

Chen Ze shook his head slightly, and looked in the direction of Bo'an City, I think... the coach of the other party must have noticed something wrong.

The opponent's coach, Zhang Chengwang.

At this moment, he was standing on the tower inside Bo'an City near Anluo Province, with a solemn expression on his face.

Where is the person?

As he was asking, his eyes were already looking towards the suspicious place far away.

That...over there!

The direction the intelligence officer pointed was exactly where Zhang Chengwang was looking.

Today's weather is fine and the view is excellent. Although it is far away, Zhang Chengwang can still see that at the end of the official road leading from Bo'an City to the interior of Anluo Province, more than 30 miles away from the city, there is a large area stationed here. camp tent.

Even though it was far away, Zhang Chengwang was very familiar with the flags fluttering on the tent.

Even if the enemy's flag that he had fought with for half his life turned into ashes, Zhang Chengwang could still see it.

That is clearly... the military flag of Bo'an City!

So it was enemy troops stationed there?

Of course the enemy!

In Anluo Province, they will never encounter Bai Lie and Xuanjia's army on the other side, right?

The Qingyang Empire did not perish.

Zheng Yuanyun!

Apart from this person, Zhang Chengwang couldn't think of anyone else who would appear there.

Only Zheng Yuanyun, who had abandoned the city and fled early, still had a large number of troops in his hands, and could deploy a large number of soldiers to garrison in the open space in the distance.

So is he sick?

Zhang Chengwang couldn't understand the meaning of Zheng Yuanyun's move.

He didn't guard the city well, and led all the people in Bo'an City to abandon the city and flee, but they didn't escape very far, and set up a posture outside the city, looking like they were strictly guarding.

Since there are guards, why abandon the city?

Zhang Chengwang couldn't figure it out, he looked far and wide, and seemed to be looking directly at Zheng Yuanyun's face in the small black dotted tent.

Someone from the city rushed upstairs, but it was a scout sent by the intelligence officer to inquire about the enemy's situation early in the morning. When he saw Zhang Chengwang present, he knelt down on one knee and said, Master, the camp over there belongs to Bo'an City. And judging from the size of the tent...

His Adam's apple rolled, and he said a little dryly: It is estimated that there are more than two million people!

Zhang Chengwang was expressionless.

When he saw the dense camp in the distance, he could probably guess that the scout's report only confirmed this guess.

More than two million troops, that is to say, Zheng Yuanyun's original troops in Bo'an City were deployed at the end of the official road outside the city.

His purpose in doing this is...

Although it still feels incomprehensible, the matter has come to this point, Zhang Chengwang has to consider the current situation to understand Zheng Yuanyun's true intention of doing this.

At this moment, another person came up quickly from the city tower. Zhang Chengwang subconsciously turned his head to look, and he was stunned.

Before the man could open his mouth, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed across Zhang Chengwang's mind, and something that he had neglected all this time suddenly emerged.

The people in the upper city are the logistics officers in Zhu Yan's army who are in charge of coordinating the food and supplies.

My lord, my subordinates have something urgent to report!

The logistics officer hesitated and said to Zhang Chengwang.

explain!

It's been a long time in the rear... no luggage has been delivered!

The logistics officer said dryly.

A long time, how long?

Zhang Chengwang stared sharply, with a murderous look on his face, Why didn't you report it until now?

This... this...

The logistics officer wiped the sweat from his forehead and tremblingly said: Because the military rations have been sufficient before, and the mountains are high and the roads are far away, the supply troops will inevitably be delayed for a while, so...

Tell me first, how long is a long time?

Zhang Chengwang said in a cold voice.

Yes... about... about ten days.

The logistics officer knew that he might have caused a catastrophe, so he stuttered in answer.

Snapped!

Zhang Chengwang's temper is not very good, as soon as the word ten days came out, he rushed forward and slapped the logistics officer firmly on the face, causing the latter to fly into the air, while his body was still in mid-air It was a big mouthful of blood mixed with broken teeth, and when it hit the ground, it was full of gold stars.

asshole!

Zhang Chengwang was so angry that he wanted to slash his logistics officer with a knife.

As the coach, he had too many things to consider, and it was impossible for him to do everything himself. Since there was a special person in charge of the logistics, he didn't ask too much.

Originally they were in a situation of siege, and the logistics line was also under the least pressure. After Zhang Chengwang arranged the troops to be responsible for the guard, he handed it over to his subordinates.

I never thought that such a big problem would happen in the place I thought was the safest.

Ten days without supplies?

At this time, he has a huge army of more than two million people!

How much food will be consumed every day, although Zhang Chengwang has not carefully calculated it, but he also knows that it is an astronomical figure. Once the supply is not received, the consequences...

Suddenly, Zhang Chengwang's mind came up with what his subordinates had said when they reported the situation of Bo'an City to him not long ago.

Everyone who can be moved has been moved...

At the beginning, I thought it didn't matter, I thought I wouldn't plan on making Bo'an City food and grass, but I never thought that the other party was planning on his food and grass!

Although there is no clear evidence to prove this, but what kind of person Zhang Chengwang is, just through this detail, he can almost be sure that this is the opponent's goal!

No wonder, no wonder you will abandon the city!

Zhang Chengwang frowned, glaring angrily at the logistics officer who was still in a daze, and said coldly: With the current military rations, how many days is enough?

This is what he is most concerned about right now, even more urgent than killing the logistics officer!
