One, two!

Twenty-one, fifty-seven!

The interception continues!

Every once in a while, Chen Ze would receive reports from Gu Qingfeng or three others. Every time he reported, the death of a scout on the other side was the death of a scout.

At this moment, there were as many as fifty-seven scouts who died in the hands of Gu Qingfeng and others.

Because of Wang Ping's skill, Chen Ze did not send anyone else to participate in the interception, so he just let the four of them chase one by one without any haste.

Fifty-seven people found a document requesting assistance from them, but only two of them. In addition, Gu Qingfeng also learned from one of them that there were ten people with the documents and tokens assigned by Xiao Du.

In other words, there are eight other people who can also find reinforcements for Zheng Yuanyun.

Nothing can be left out!

However, no matter what, the situation is developing in a stable direction. Another point is that Chen Ze has intercepted 57 people from the other side, but he is not aware of it on Zheng Yuanyun.

Not only him, but even the scouts had no connection with each other.

This is thanks to the scattered and lurking tactics.

It has to be said that his tactic caused quite a lot of trouble to Chen Ze at the beginning, but once the matter was resolved, the disadvantages of Xiao Du's arrangements emerged.

No one knew he was dead.

No one knew that these more than 300 scouts were carrying out a seemingly safe task, but this task was actually full of dangers from the beginning.

There is no need to say much about what kind of crisis a plan that has been discovered will bring, but here are the scouts who have no connection with each other, they do not know that the plan has been leaked.

So even if they were as careful as possible when they were on the road, they still lacked the most important sense of crisis, so that when they were intercepted by Gu Qingfeng and others, they did not respond as they should.

This even includes the first Xiao Du who was intercepted.

There is no problem anymore.

Chen Ze focused on the locations of Gu Qingfeng and others, as well as the locations of the more than 300 scouts. He knew that it was only a matter of time to intercept these scouts.

Although it was only fifty-seven people who found two people, there was no need to be nervous.

What he was more concerned about at this time was the current situation of the army led by Zheng Yuanyun.

Departing from Ketan City, about three days away, it is an affiliated city closest to the three main cities, called Xilong City.

This city is the first stop for Zheng Yuanyun to capture Nante Province. Once this city is broken, he can join forces with three points, from Xilong City as a stronghold, and at the same time spread to attack the other three cities behind it.

Xilong City has a special geographical location. It is a major transportation route that starts from Ketan City and continues to travel to the Nantes Province. It strangles Xilong City, which is equivalent to jamming the entire Nantes Province.

Originally, the geographical location of Xilongcheng was actually more suitable to be the gateway to the Nantes province. In fact, many years ago, the Nantes provinces really started with Xilongcheng.

But in a certain war later, Anluo Province suffered a defeat and had to shrink its territory back and retreated to the natural pass of Bo'an City before stopping its disadvantages.

Later, the Qingyang Empire learned from its mistakes and believed that it would be much more cost-effective to use Bo'an City as a stronghold to hold on to it than to occupy a little more land before, so it began to focus on developing Bo'an City.

To this day, the city defense of Bo'an City is so strong that even Zhang Chengwang personally led nearly three million troops to the city, he was not sure that he could capture the city. He needed to secretly cross Chencang and start the ambushing plan from the weak areas of Anluo Province.

The decisiveness of the Qingyang Empire at that time was that there were three additional main cities in the Nantes Province.

This is exchanged for victory.

The Qingyang Empire can decisively abandon it. In addition to thinking that it is difficult to defend, it is also because it has just suffered a defeat and has a shortage of troops. It is a strategic abandonment.

The Zhuyan Empire finally won this battle and never gave up the benefits he received and ignored them. However, as the Qingyang Empire believed, that land was indeed not conducive to defense unless it was...

Unless, based on the cities of the original Qingyang Empire, three main cities with attack and defense will be built together, so that the fruits of victory can be firmly occupied.

This is the origin of these three cities, Tel, Cialis, and Ktan.

As for Xilong City, which originally existed as the main city, although it has an outstanding geographical location, it has been wrapped in the defense system of the three main cities. Its sense of existence is getting weaker and no longer as glorious as before.

When Zhang Chengwang was defeated, the three main cities were captured. Xilong City should have been the front line to fight against the invasion of the Qingyang Empire, but unfortunately there were no soldiers at all. Thank God if the other party didn't come to attack them, so he dared not attack them instead.

Even Zheng Yuanyun dragged it for so long before he came to Xilong City. For such a long time, Xilong City only barely gathered a few defenders from the neighboring cities and organized a defensive force that was quite acceptable.

But when Zheng Yuanyun's troops arrived at the city, they were only 300,000.

With 300,000 to 2 million, Xilong City may have to be equipped with hot weapons and heavy firepower that Chen Ze had in his previous life to win this offensive and defensive battle.

Unfortunately, this is not Chen Ze's previous life. Even Chen Ze himself cannot get those things through the system. The result of this battle is actually already destined.

But that's not the point.

The point is, how long can Xilong City be maintained?

Zheng Yuanyun will lead his troops to attack the city and seize time with Ouyang Lixing. This is what was expected, so Chen Ze suggested to Ouyang Lixing through Chen Ming that cities along the way such as Xilong City must do their best to block the opponent's attack, and delay as much time as they can.

Only by buying Ouyang Lixing enough time to deploy on the border of the Nantes Province can the result of this battle go in a clearer direction.

After all, what Ouyang Lixing needs to do now is to let these cities that would have been captured play their final role and become a quarrel on Zheng Yuanyun's road to success.

The longer it drags on, the greater the chance, so these affiliated cities have become the key point at the moment.

Although it is not impossible for Zheng Yuanyun to sacrifice these cities, even if he is angry and embarrassed, he will do the city massacre, but how can he care about so much at this time?

How to choose between one city and one province?

Cruel is very cruel, but in order to achieve the final victory, when Chen Ze made this suggestion, Ouyang Lixing also knew the key.
