The Era of Generals

Chapter 452   Imminent

three days later.

grown ups!

The messenger soldier hurriedly came from outside the city lord's mansion. He had the token given by Zheng Yuanyun himself, and he didn't need the guards outside the mansion to report, so he rushed to the door of the side hall where Zheng Yuanyun's daily work was done.

The door opens.

Zheng Yuanyun came out from the inside with a solemn face. Behind him, there were several fully armed lieutenants.

These were his cronies, cronies who still obeyed Zheng Yuanyun even when Zheng Yuanyun's prestige was at its lowest point.

However, there are not many people left.

You must know that since Zheng Yuanyun decided to enter Nantes Province, he has been making preparations, not only mobilizing the most elite soldiers and generals in the province, but also the team he has cultivated in Anluo Province for many years. All brought in.

Since Zheng Yuanyun decided to enter Nantes Province, he was naturally ready to go all out to take this great credit.

You know, the empire also sent envoys to tell him that if Nantes province can be captured, then Zheng Yuanyun will become the fourth national teacher of the Qingyang Empire!

As for all the ministers, who doesn't hope that one day he can become a noble national teacher who is under one person and above tens of thousands of people. Zheng Yuanyun can reach the step of being a general, and his desire for national teachers is even more extraordinary than ordinary people.

For this goal, Zheng Yuanyun went all out this time without reservation.

However, the situation has progressed to the present, and in the course of several battles, his confidantes were killed or injured, and some of them were dissatisfied with Zheng Yuanyun's iron-blooded and high-handed strategy.

At this moment, Zheng Yuanyun was sure that the only ones who followed him with all his heart were the six lieutenants behind him.

How desolate?

Looking back on the scene in Anluo Province that was so popular in the past, he is now quite desolate.

But so what?

From Zheng Yuanyun's quiet face, one can feel Zheng Yuanyun's determination to move forward at the moment.

This battle is also the final decisive battle that he has been waiting for.

If this battle is won, it means that the province of Nantes will remain unguarded for a long time, and he will be able to take whatever he wants.

Now, what he wants to seize is not only the province of Nantes, but also his lost dignity, lost prestige, and lost dominance.

This battle has to be brought back!

The messenger soldier is also one of his confidantes, the eyes he arranged to observe the movement outside the city for him at the top of the city. He came back in a hurry at this moment, and he must have brought back the information he wanted.

Zheng Yuanyun, who came out of the door, did not speak. He just stared at his confidant. Sure enough, he saw the other party take a breath, and hurriedly said: My lord, from the direction of Dongyuan City, some spies found a large number of enemies Heading towards us, it is estimated that there will be about half a day before we can reach the city of Ihe!

Zheng Yuanyun nodded, this was the opportunity he was waiting for, so he asked, Where's the strength?

That's the point.

He had always known that Ouyang Lixing had sent troops out before, but because of the unprofessional scouts under him, he had never been very clear about how many people had come from the enemy.

But now that he was on guard, he sent additional manpower to watch around Dongyuan City. If he couldn't find out the exact number of troops, then these scouts were not unprofessional, but stupid.

But fortunately, the soldiers under him are not so stupid. Moreover, when Ouyang Lixing came out of Dongyuan City, the strength of the soldiers was enough to watch them come out of the city gate. How many were there? Finally, there was one this time. more accurate estimates.

My lord, the strength of the enemy army, according to current observations, is probably around two million!

The confidant replied immediately.

Two million, this did not exceed Zheng Yuanyun's expectations. In fact, he was deploying his own defensive strategy based on Ouyang Lixing's army of two million.

He knew very well that even if Ouyang Lixing wanted to send troops to chase him, he would not be unreserved. After all, it was necessary to reserve some troops just in case, so the maximum number of troops Ouyang Lixing sent was about two million.

To be honest, with a force of 600,000 and the advantage of city defense, Zheng Yuanyun didn't have much confidence that he could defend against Ouyang Lixing's 2 million troops.

But in fact, he doesn't need to completely prevent it, but just delay a little more time.

It is not impossible to even occasionally show the enemy's weakness and make Ouyang Lixing attack more boldly and unrestrainedly.

In a word, he only needs to drag the reinforcements from Ma Hui's side to arrive, and then take advantage of the opportunity of Ouyang Lixing's loss of soldiers and generals during the siege, he will gather superior forces to defeat them in a wave.

The script is such a script, and right now, Ouyang Lixing has already taken the first step according to his script, so how can he let the other party down?

After getting the specific number of troops, Zheng Yuanyun sneered, looked back, and said indifferently: You gentlemen, dare to fight with me?

The six lieutenants actually didn't know that a large number of reinforcements were arriving behind them, but these six were Zheng Yuanyun's diehard loyalists. They heard that all of them were standing upright and fully armed, even if it was just a gesture of clasping their fists and saluting , but also a uniform sonorous sound.

The last general will be driven by the adults!

The six people agreed in unison.

very good!

Zheng Yuanyun nodded slightly, and then his gaze was like a sword, pointing straight to the high sky outside the mansion. In that direction, Ouyang Lixing was leading his troops to arrive.

Let's go, let's see how the Zhuyan Empire's siege method is different from ours!

With a large number of backup reinforcements, Zheng Yuanyun didn't panic at all, he just waved his hand lightly, and then he walked like a tiger. He was originally a counselor, but at this moment he stepped out of the aura of a general. At this moment, it seemed that he It was the side with more troops, and Ouyang Lixing and others were not coming to attack the city, but were planning to come and be hacked by him one by one.

city ​​head.

Juhe City is not small, and each city wall is also broad and majestic. Zheng Yuanyun climbed up the tower, took a lookout mirror from his subordinates and glanced at it, and it can be seen that the mighty enemy army is already at the farthest point of sight. faintly visible.

Zheng Yuanyun is a general who has worked hard all the way, and his strength is also real. He only took a look in that direction, and he was able to determine the approximate number of opponents, which was not much different from the number sent back by the scouts. .

Have all the troops defending the city been arranged?

Zheng Yuanyun put down the binoculars, turned his head and asked the lieutenant in charge of the defense of the city.

Back to the words of the adults!

The deputy general hurriedly responded: According to your lord's order, the 600,000 troops in our hands are divided into three parts. There are 200,000 troops on the front wall, 150,000 on the left and right walls, and the other 100,000 soldiers. The mounted cavalry is on standby at the rear city gate!

Speaking of this, he hesitated for a while, and said, My lord, is it a bit...
