The Era of Generals

Chapter 417   The Battle Begins

Along the way, how much information did Chen Ze provide him?

Among other things, Zheng Yuanyun suffered heavy losses just by providing the positions of the scouts to Ouyang Lixing.

Ouyang Lixing was not just burying his head in the march, he was also observing the disturbances in Nantes province at any time, and the most important thing was the movement of Zheng Yuanyun's army.

Even the people he sent out captured a few scouts from the other side.

It was also from there that he knew that Zheng Yuanyun was in an embarrassing situation where there were no scouts available. The ones he sent were not trained by orthodox scouts, but were just ordinary soldiers.

When he was in Dongping City before, Chen Ming pointed out to Ouyang Lixing the location of the eyeliner arranged by Zheng Yuanyun, and those scouts were the real trained scouts. If Chen Ming hadn't pointed it out, Ouyang Lixing believed that he would send these people It is not so easy to find out.

It is not so easy to develop an elite scout. This loss is on the scale of hundreds of people, and anyone who comes will feel heartache.

Even if Zheng Yuanyun wanted to join forces with Chen Ze to set him a trap, he would not use elite scouts as bait. It can even be said that Zheng Yuanyun would rather lose an army of 100,000 people than the number Hundreds of elite scouts died in vain.

At least, Ouyang Lixing felt that he couldn't do it.

A good scout can be said to be the eyes on the battlefield. If there is no scout to provide the commander with all kinds of information and intelligence on the battlefield, then 30% of the battle has already been lost before the battle begins.

How can a blind man fight a normal person with a sword?

From this point of view, Ouyang Lixing believed that Chen Ze was sincerely cooperating with him.

What's more, when Chen Ze was under Zheng Yuanyun's hands, it was really difficult. Ouyang Lixing believed that even if he was in Chen Ze's position, he would choose to take this opportunity to get rid of Zheng Yuanyun instead of being in such a situation. Sometimes I still go to lick the dog, to fight Zheng Yuanyun will find out his conscience.

Compared with the discovery of conscience, is it not good to directly hold the initiative in your own hands?

After thinking about it, Ouyang strictly agreed with Chen Ze's suggestion. Now that he agreed, he no longer hesitated. The so-called suspects don't have to be suspicious. If they can't cooperate sincerely at this time, then what awaits them is a double defeat!

It's impossible for Chen Ze not to understand this truth. With his consistent performance, he would not make such an unwise move.

So Zheng Yuanyun was wrong.

If he knew, he would beat his chest and stamp his feet.

Ouyang Lixing has all the troops in Tianyuan City!

And there is absolutely no problem with that main road for transporting troops. If Zheng Yuanyun forced the whole army to raid there, Ouyang Lixing, who had put all his troops in Tianyuan City, might not dare to chase after him.

As for the problem that Zheng Yuanyun was worried about being flanked and made dumplings, it didn't actually exist.

Ouyang Lixing knew that he put all his troops in Tianyuan City, which meant that the river behind the city, and even the last city behind, these two cities were actually empty cities. With Zheng Yuanyun's troops, they would It was very easy to occupy Hezhucheng, and then use this city as a backing to stop Ouyang Lixing's pursuit with a backhand.

With the quality of the soldiers at hand, Ouyang Lixing has a lot of people, but there is nothing he can do about it.

And Zheng Yuanyun could completely take over the city after standing firmly on the river, and then allocate part of his troops to take the last city, and finally take all the cities in Nantes Province except Tianyuan City into his pocket.

In this way, the most embarrassing thing is Ouyang Lixing.

He could only stay in Tianyuan City and fight trapped beasts. The strategy he set at the beginning was to guard the last back door for the Nantes province, so that the future empire would be free to send troops to support. The plan fell through.

And it was not only him who was embarrassed, but also Chen Ze.

Chen Zehui said that Zheng Yuanyun didn't actually have any reinforcements, so there was a high probability that he used various tricks to fool the troops who entered Nantes Province, so that they could not support Zheng Yuanyun because of wrong information.

But once Zheng Yuanyun crosses Tianyuan City and takes the two cities behind, how long can Chen Ze delay?

We can't keep the reinforcements from finding where Zheng Yuanyun is, can we?

Where Chen Ze wants to take this part of the reinforcements is a problem, and how to make excuses is another problem.

Fortunately, out of caution, Zheng Yuanyun did not choose to forcibly rush through the main routes of transporting troops, but prepared to fight steadily, let Tianyuan City open the breakthrough, and finally win.

After Zheng Yuanyun tried left and right for this trick, he finally stepped into it.

Pass down the order and shoot him twice first.

Standing up, Ouyang Lixing looked a little more serious, and he quickly glanced at Zheng Yuanyun's troops that were bearing the brunt and were already charging towards Tianyuan City.

It is a very normal way of attacking the city, with swords and shields in front, followed by dozens of siege towers and ramming vehicles. Everyone is rushing towards the gate of the city in a desperate way.

Naturally, the defenders of the city would not fail to respond. They were so desperate, just to take one more step and avoid being hit by some rockets from the defenders.

They are so desperate, how can Ouyang Lixing fail to meet their wishes?

Zheng Yuanyun chose to start with the normal siege mode, so he also chose to respond with the normal defense mode.

With one order, hundreds of trebuchets placed on the new city wall burst into roars, and countless boulders sprayed with burning kerosene were lifted into the air in an instant. With the concentration of Zheng Yuanyun's troops outside the city, there was no need to deliberately aim at them. A lot of life can be reaped just by shooting out the artillery fire.

With this round of throwing stones, the siege battle against Tianyuan City officially started!

And this is also the most important and important battle that Chen Ze has been planning so far!

At this moment, instead of going back to Ketan City, Chen Ze, who just found a random place to hang around, no longer saved his few battle achievements, and directly observed the direction of the battle from the top of Tianyuan City through Chen Ming's vision.

Seeing the throwing stones thrown by Ouyang Lixing, Chen Ze sighed slightly.

No, it should be a pity.

Chen Ming was right at the top of the city, if Chen Ze attached Cheng Yu's general star to him, and then asked Chen Ming to suggest a modification of the trebuchet, then Zheng Yuanyun's troops would suffer even more serious blows.

But that is Chen Ze's secret, and although he and Ouyang Lixing are now on the same front, after all, the two belong to different empires. After this battle, they may become enemies in the future. If the secret is handed over to the enemy , Chen Ze was afraid that he would regret it.

Fortunately, even if this is the case, the well-prepared Ouyang Lixing also has a strong enough strike force. In this way, people outside the city turned their backs on their backs, countless falling rocks fell from the sky, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and there were even two siege towers It was also very unlucky that it was smashed through and lost the ability to move.
