Chapter 295 Dilemma

"Lord Commander-in-Chief!"

When Chen Ze came out of the city gate, he immediately saw General Luo at the front of the team. He immediately got off his horse and saluted him.

No matter in terms of military rank or the sentiment of the other party bringing troops to help, he deserves this gift.

"Hahaha, Brother Chen!"

General Luo did not dismount, but looked at Chen Ze from the horse and laughed loudly. He said with a cheerful face: "Brother Chen, I am lucky to live up to my fate this time!"

When Chen Ze came to attack Xifeng City, it was a helpless move. At that time, General Luo had to come with him.

Although he has no soldiers at hand, the few followers he has with him are extraordinary and I believe they will be helpful.

But on the one hand, Chen Ze did not want to expose his secrets, and on the other hand, he really needed a big shot with the right to speak to help deploy reinforcements, so after some persuasion, he asked Commander Luo to return to Tel City.

"Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief, has spoken harshly, how can I live up to my words?"

Chen Ze smiled, said polite words, and took two steps forward to meet them. With a glance, he immediately understood where these 500,000 horses came from.

Yang Mingzhong was riding side by side next to Mr. Luo, and was also winking at Chen Ze at the moment.

After all, there were still 200,000 to 300,000 enemy troops watching eagerly outside the city. Everyone did not stay too long. Under the guidance of Chen Ze, all the 500,000 troops entered the city.

At this moment, Xifeng City can be said to be an empty city. Except for Chen Ze's own 80,000 to 90,000 troops, most of the place is empty. It would be easy to place these reinforcements.

The placement of the soldiers was left to Xu Qing, while Chen Ze, Commander Luo, and several other middle-level generals returned to the city lord's palace.

Only then did General Luo briefly tell Chen Ze what happened when he returned to Ter City, and let Chen Ze understand why they led the 500,000 soldiers under Yang Mingzhong to come to Xifeng City

The reason for sending reinforcements here.

"Brother Chen, this Zheng Yuanyun is too hateful. If you still want to hang out in Anluo Province, you must be more careful with this person!"

After explaining everything from leaving Chen Ze to coming back, General Luo frowned slightly and reminded Chen Ze in a solemn tone.

Chen Ze nodded. Regarding Zheng Yuanyun, there was no need for General Luo to remind him that of course he was always on guard against Zheng Yuanyun.

In fact, if Zheng Yuanyun had not been considered, he would not have had to choose to attack Xifeng City far away after being manipulated by Yan Haomiao.

After all, there was Commander Luo beside him, who was no less powerful than Zheng Yuanyun. If Zheng Yuanyun had not caused harm, Commander Luo would have escaped unscathed from this incident with just one word from Commander Luo.

Then, besides Zheng Yuanyun, who was warned by General Luo, Chen Ze was also wary of another person.

That is Yan Haomiao!

I don’t know what’s wrong with this old guy. At the critical moment when the Bai Lie Empire was attacking Fengqi Province, he actually had the leisure to target him at every turn.

Even Chen Ze began to have some doubts. Could it be that Yan Haomiao noticed something and wanted to restrict him?

Compared to Zheng Yuanyun, who was just narrow-minded and wanted to restrict Chen Ze from a military perspective, Yan Haomiao was the one he cared more about.

If he had the chance to choose someone between Zheng Yuanyun and Yan Haomiao, he would choose to kill Yan Haomiao without hesitation!

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen?"

Perhaps Chen Ze was a little lost in thought, and he came back to his senses only after Mr. Luo called out twice.

"What?"

Chen Ze asked.

"I just asked you, what are you going to do next?"

General Luo frowned slightly and repeated his question.

That's not what happened.

In the original plan, Chen Ze's purpose of defending Xifeng City was to wait for the reinforcements to arrive. At the same time, he was also waiting for the general who commanded the reinforcements to take over Xifeng City.

In this way, he can retire with success, and what will happen next is none of his business.

After all, when he was responsible, Xifeng City was indeed captured, and when he left office, the Qingyang Empire's blazing sun flag was still hanging on top of Xifeng City.

However, the current problem is that Bo'an City did have a large number of reinforcements rushing to Ter City, and the general who was ordered by Zheng Yuanyun to lead the reinforcements did take over Ter City and Ketansili, a total of three cities.

defense.

But that's all.

Due to Zheng Yuanyun's order, the new commander could not send troops at will. He could only distribute a large number of reinforcements among the three cities. On the one hand, he stabilized the defense, and on the other hand, he was waiting for Zheng Yuanyun to lead the troops again.

Come over, and then carry out the plan to attack the province of Nantes in an all-round way.

To put it bluntly, Zheng Yuanyun was greedy for credit and did not want others to get involved in such a huge achievement.

But in this way, the top commander currently in Nantes Province will naturally not come to Xifeng City. In fact, Commander Luo even put his sword on the opponent's neck, but he couldn't make him change.

This person is Zheng Yuanyun's diehard loyalist.

The result of this was that General Luo became the supreme commander of the supporting army.

Therefore, it would be fine for Chen Ze to leave and take away the nearly 90,000 troops under his command, while the mess of Xifeng City would be handed over to General Luo.

Xifeng City was finally captured. In any case, Xifeng City now belongs to the Qingyang Empire, and it is impossible to abandon the city directly.

Therefore, at this time, Xifeng City has become a hot potato. Although it is tasteless to eat, it must not be discarded.

This is the real reason why General Luo asked this question.

Do you still want Xifeng City? If so, why do you want it? If not, how can you excuse yourself from the guilt of abandoning the city?

If Commander Luo wants to come, he will not be able to defend Xifeng City.

Even though Chen Ze has been able to securely defend the city for so many days, everyone knows that the further back the city goes, the harder it will be to defend it.

Xifeng City is an isolated city. Apart from the 500,000 soldiers brought by General Luo, it can be foreseen that they will not receive any support for a long time.

In this way, the loss of materials is a problem. When the civilians were expelled from Xifeng City, although they were not allowed to take away too many resources, there would still be a day when they were all consumed.

Especially the 500,000 people brought by General Luo, on the one hand for the urgent march, and on the other hand because Zheng Yuanyun's men were unwilling to give more. The food and grass they brought with the army was not much, and it was probably enough to reach the evening.

It’s just Fengcheng.

As a result, Xifeng City's food and grass consumption had to be increased five times.

The second problem is the loss of military strength.

Not long ago, Chen Ze, determined to fight to the death, sent troops out of the city to fight a big battle with the border coalition forces.

Although this battle was a complete victory due to the opponent's improper command, even so, Chen Ze's side still sacrificed nearly 10,000 soldiers.
