Chapter 163 The time is coming
Hua Lao did not hesitate to reveal his identity to help Chen Ze in Bo'an City, but Chen Ze obviously didn't know about it at this time.
He was currently busy in the defensive tunnel.
After setting up the five underwater rope bridges, he did not go up immediately. Instead, he only sent Li Quan'an to sneak out first. While the general who borrowed Cheng Yu's name was still there, he asked Li Quan'an to lead the soldiers who went out first in the woods by the lake.
Arm your defenses.
With Cheng Yu's skills as a general, sentries can be placed at all the hidden weak points in the woods, rather than letting Chen Ming use his experience as a scout to set up a much tighter defense.
Chen Ze himself was at the exit of the tunnel, coordinating the soldiers to dive in order.
Thirty thousand people were indeed too many. Although the continuous infiltration speed of a group of five people was not too slow, after a few hours, only half of the soldiers who had infiltrated from the tunnel exit to the outside world had passed.
But Chen Ze was not in a hurry.
Although his people have not gone up, they can still take into account the situation on the ground with the map in the system. Until now, he has not seen any blue light dots representing the enemy, and he is still safe.
Furthermore, although the speed is not fast, it can be foreseen that in about three to four hours, all 30,000 soldiers will be able to go to the outside world through the underwater passage.
It only took a little more than a day in total, which was more than four or five days faster than going around from Bo'an City to the east of Anluo Province and then going over the mountains and ridges from there.
Most of the day passed like this. When Chen Ze, accompanied by Meng Yang and other confidants, dived into the pool as the last batch, all the 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands had left the defensive tunnel.
It was already late at night after going out. Even though the dense forest beside the lake was huge, they didn't dare to light a bonfire to keep warm and dry their clothes. In the faint moonlight, what Chen Ze saw were more than 30,000 people soaked to the skin and shivering in the cold wind.
Soldier.
After suffocating in the tunnel and diving ashore, everyone was exhausted. But even so, Chen Ze didn't see any complaints on the face of even a single soldier.
They were busy with each other. Some were stuffing dry food into their mouths that had been swollen by the lake water to satisfy their hunger. Some were taking off their military uniforms, twisting them twice as hard as they could, and putting the half-dry clothes back on.
But some people half-leaned on tree trunks and took a nap in order to regain their strength as soon as possible.
Although what they are doing is different, their purpose is the same, which is to restore their combat effectiveness as soon as possible so that they can be ready for a tough battle at any time.
The endurance and physical fitness of these soldiers are far beyond those of ordinary soldiers.
Chen Ze couldn't help but sigh, knowing that this was an elite division specially assigned to him by the military aircraft under the instructions of Mr. You Hua. He had seen this through a magnifying glass when he was on the battlefield. In comparison, he had seen it with a magnifying glass before.
Although the cavalry unit that arrived was not bad, it was still a level lower than these soldiers.
Mr. Hua had tricked him before, but this time he was trying his best to help him.
After arriving at the predetermined location, Chen Ze gave no further instructions. He just ordered the soldiers to rest where they were and wait for an opportunity to come.
This wait lasted two days.
And the opportunity he wanted began to appear on the morning of the fourth day.
Zhu Yan's big account.
"Feng Wu obeys the order!"
Zhang Chengwang, who was sitting at the head of the tent, looked solemn, grabbed a military order in front of the case and threw it in front of a burly general who came out in response.
"You will lead the forward army of 200,000 people, along with all the siege equipment, to storm Bo'an City in half an hour!"
The military order was still flying in the air, and Zhang Chengwang's cold words fell into Feng Wu's ears first.
"storm?"
Feng Wu was obviously stunned and almost didn't catch the military order thrown at him. He felt confused for a moment.
"Master coach, you mean... to attack Bo'an City?"
Although he knew that he could not question Zhang Chengwang's order, Feng Wu still confirmed and asked with a look of astonishment on his face.
No wonder he couldn't believe it.
In fact, they have not fought a single battle since they sent troops from Nantes Province to Bo'an City. Until now, Zhu Yan's army of more than two million troops has only fought against the troops in Bo'an City.
The defenders were just confronting each other from afar.
At this moment, Zhang Chengwang actually asked him to attack Bo'an?
Who doesn't know who? Bo'an City also has a huge force of about two million, and the opponent also has the advantage of defending the city. He led 200,000 people to attack the city. No, that is not called siege.
It would be more appropriate to call it death.
And Feng Wu roughly knew the plan to attack Bo'an City this time. It was not a frontal attack at all, otherwise their troops would suffer heavy losses.
Could it be because of the two people who came back that day?
Feng Wu secretly said in his heart that he was also present that day and heard the reports from Guo Zi and Du Jun, but later Zhang Chengwang said that the outcome would be known in three days, which he did not quite understand.
Unexpectedly, he was asked to lead his men to forcibly attack the city after saying that he would tell the truth three days later?
Even if there was a fire in the other party's backyard, the 200,000 people rushing towards it would only scratch the itch of the city wall.
"Why, you can't understand what I say?"
Zhang Chengwang glared at him, his innate pig-killing temperament coupled with his powerful strength, just one glance, Feng Wu's heart suddenly trembled.
"The last general takes command!"
Immediately not daring to say any more, Feng Wu gritted his teeth and accepted the order, and left the tent to dispatch troops.
"Where are those two people?"
Zhang Chengwang glanced at him and said, "Go and call them here!"
The messengers had already run out, and soon they brought in Guo Zi and Du Jun who were waiting outside.
Even though three days have passed, Guo Zi and Guo Zi still looked calm and composed, without any panic at all. After entering, they first bowed to Zhang Chengwang and then stood without saying a word.
Zhang Chengwang squinted his eyes slightly and kept scanning the two people's faces, as if he wanted to see something. After a while, he said calmly: "In half an hour, I will order people to attack the city."
As soon as these words came out, Guo Zi and Du Jun showed confusion on their faces. They looked up at Zhang Chengwang, not knowing why.
"Do you know why I ordered the siege?"
Zhang Chengwang, however, did not look at the expressions of the two of them and said to himself: "That's because of the information you brought back that Xiyun City and Xichuan City were burned to the ground under Ruan Wenshan's attack!"
"Young man... I still don't understand."
Guo Zi opened his mouth and shook his head blankly.
As a soldier, it was normal for him to not understand the connection between the intelligence he brought back and Zhang Chengwang's order to attack the city.
Zhang Chengwang was noncommittal, but his eyes suddenly became sharp. He glared at Guo Zi and said coldly: "You don't understand?"
"Okay, I will explain it more clearly!"
"The Anluo Province is a whole, and one move affects the whole body. Therefore, the destruction of the two cities of Xiyun and Xichuan will definitely affect Bo'an City, then..."
"If there is no response from Bo'an, it means that the information you brought back is false!"
