Shou!

Stick to it!

Chen Ze retreated behind his own formation with a deep eyebrow, constantly deploying his troops to block the various fronts.

Fortunately, the terrain is hilly, and the space becomes smaller as you go up. Although Chen Ze only has more than 2,000 real soldiers on his side, they are enough to defend themselves, so there is space.

But guarding doesn't just mean sending people to guard, it also means having the strength to withstand the opponent's strong advance.

It is true that the two thousand troops that Chen Ze took over from He Xuan were soldiers from Qilin City, but the problem was that they were only soldiers from the logistics and baggage unit responsible for escorting grain and grass.

In terms of combat power, they are weaker than the elite ambush troops carefully selected by the Zhu Yan Empire. If not for the halo of ridicule, Zhu Yan's ambush troops were instantly reduced by hundreds, giving the soldiers of Qilin City the illusion that the opponent was easy to kill, so that their morale was high.

, otherwise I'm afraid it will collapse without even fighting.

But now the aura of ridicule is gone.

Chen Ze used Xu Qing to trigger the White Roaring Star relatively early, and by the time Ruan Wenshan ordered the charge, forty minutes passed in a flash.

If Chen Ze hadn't ordered Xu Qing to continue pretending to wander around the battle line to attract the opponent's attention, Zhu Yan's ambush troops might have been able to capture the hilltop directly.

However, this is not a solution. You cannot rely on Xu Qing's fake power to win the current situation.

To be honest, the reason why he was still able to hold on was mainly due to the fact that Cheng Yu did not reach the point of cooling down.

Cheng Yu's ambush skill can be regarded as a pseudo-halo skill, which is like cheating when in passive defense. Unfortunately, it can only be effective on long-range troops.

The reason why Qilin City's soldiers have not yet been defeated is because the five hundred archers, who were influenced by Cheng Yu's general skills, fired wildly with arrows to suppress the opponent.

Being able to overwhelm thousands of people on the opposite side with five hundred people, this performance is certainly not weak, even very strong. It is so strong that Ruan Wenshan, who is killing everyone, can't help but turn his head and look around frequently, with a look in his eyes that cannot be concealed, and wants to kill this

The desire to have five hundred archers for your own use.

It's a pity that it's only 500.

If there are only five thousand, it is not impossible to completely destroy these enemy troops.

At present, Chen Ze can be said to be at the point where he is running out of ammunition and food.

Ma Teng used his general star on Meng Yang, who was now forcibly stuck on the outside of the encirclement. He was unable to support him for a while. Even if Meng Yang took a long way around and threw away the copper and iron walls in the middle, the Zhu Yan Empire also had

There are more than 8,000 cavalrymen who have not participated in the battle.

Moreover, Meng Yang and others are currently on the outermost side. Even though they believe that their cavalry is more powerful than the opponent after receiving the blessing of command power, the terrain advantage has been reversed.

Once the two cavalry units confront each other, the impact of Zhu Yan's cavalry swooping down from top to bottom will be greater, enough to wipe out the charge advantage of Meng Yang's cavalry unit, and this is even after Ma Teng's thousand-mile running strategy has been used.

Next, we can no longer rush and kill as we did before when we entered an uninhabited area.

Meng Yang can't count on it for the time being, and Bai Luo has entered cooling down. Correspondingly, Xu Qing can no longer trigger other generals.

Without Guo Zi and the elite Xuanjia, it is impossible for Chen Ze to arbitrarily attach the last two general stars to these Qilin City soldiers who are not very loyal. Moreover, he has the last general stars left, one is Wu Anguo, and the other is

Sun Xiu, the former's combat power is lower than the opponent's governor-level general, and it is difficult to use it if possessed. The latter's commanding soldiers are archers, which overlaps with the existing Cheng Yu.

Sun Xiu has the skill of Thousand Arrows, but his performance is not 100%. On the contrary, Cheng Yu not only has a 100% success in his military skills, but the combat power bonus provided by the ambush skill is not lower than that of Thousand Arrows. There is no need to use it again.

Summon Sun Xiu.

Therefore, for a time, all Chen Ze could rely on was Cheng Yu's ambush skills. There were more than 2,000 people, and the only ones with real lethality were these 500 archers.

But Cheng Yu didn't have much time left.

At first, Chen Ze only used the Pseudo General Star to enhance the success rate of Cheng Yu's general skills. All other resources were basically invested in Ma Teng. In terms of duration, Cheng Yu was not much longer than Bai Rao. It was just because he was summoned later.

It can just continue to exist.

So what Chen Ze is doing now is, firstly, commanding and dispatching the soldiers to defend to the death, and secondly, feeding Cheng Yu fragments in the general star system.

Although there is a rule that you can spend battle merit to extend the duration of a single general star, the battle merit required for an epic general star is too much, and it is not as practical as investing in strengthening fragments that will benefit you for a lifetime.

The battle has progressed to this point. First, Meng Yang led the cavalry to charge, and then Cheng Yu's ambush plan broke out. Chen Ze's already almost bottomed out military exploits have been greatly supplemented. Buying a few fragments is not a big deal.

event.

But he didn't buy more, he only bought three fragments, which only increased Cheng Yu's duration to one hour.

It's not that he is stingy, but that he only needs this half-hour buffer right now.

Chen Ze currently has a total of five confidants who have passed the general examination. In addition to Meng Yang, Li Quan'an and Xu Qing, Guo Zi was ordered by him to lead the elite black armor to escort Zhu Yan, scout Du Jun and three other people to other places. They are not around at the moment.

Well, there is another person.

Chen Ming!

Before He Xuan's baggage troops were surrounded, Chen Ming led several scouts to explore the road ahead. It was also because of him that Chen Ze was able to discover the enemy's situation from the map for the first time and arrive in time.

But Chen Ming, who completed the investigation mission, never came back.

It was not because Chen Ming was frightened by Zhu Yan's ambush that he lost his loyalty and defected, but because Chen Zeben had other orders for him.

On this line, there is not only He Xuan's army, there are also 20,000 Xiyun troops who came from Xiyun City to help defend the supply line!

When the five troops set off from Xiyun City, which supply line each troop would go to, and which points on each supply line needed to be defended, had been discussed long ago. Chen Ze naturally

Remember.

Therefore, before Chen Ming set out, Chen Ze had assigned him a task. In addition to secretly following He Xuan's troops, another task was to discover the enemy and not far from one of the defensive points on the supply line.

, Chen Ming did not need to come back, but rushed to the defensive point at full speed to bring reinforcements.

This small hill is not far from one of the three defensive points of Qilin City. Chen Ming, who knew the location, naturally rushed there.

Of course, this is just one of the defensive points. Xiyun's army may not be there, and there is a high chance that Chen Ming will miss.

However, there is no suspense for Chen Ze as to whether Chen Ming will miss. From Chen Ming's map, Chen Ze can intuitively see the situation nearby and make the corresponding choice, whether to fight or avoid.

His current choice is to defend and hold off Zhu Yan's ambush. From this we can see that Chen Ming's side...
