"One of our own?"

Ning Zhenggang frowned and was not as optimistic as the soldier commander.

Our own people are our reinforcements.

Doesn't he, the coach, know whether reinforcements will arrive?

In fact, even if there were reinforcements, they would have been intercepted by Ouyang Lixing on the road and taken to the rear border to set up formations.

Ouyang Lixing said at the beginning that he could delay as long as he could. From this sentence, we can know that no reinforcements will come to Xilong City to support him.

What's more, if it was reinforcements, why didn't they answer the question three times?

some of……

"You, send someone quickly to take a look at the South City Gate!"

Ning Zhenggang, knowing something was wrong, hurriedly sent people to the south city gate to investigate. After thinking about it, he hurriedly said: "There are also two east and west city gates. Let's send people to check them out respectively!"

"Whenever something happens, use the sound of an arrow as a signal immediately. Make no mistake!"

The uneasiness in my heart became more and more serious. Where did this unknown army come from?

Could it be...

He looked down the city, looking across the river into the distance. There, with the faint light of the fire, he clearly saw Zheng Yuanyun's army still waiting in formation, but...

The uneasy feeling in his heart became more and more obvious, and he couldn't help but finally set his sights on the river.

Water...where's the water?

Ning Zhenggang's expression changed drastically, and then he noticed that in addition to the mountains of corpses piled up in the river, the water flow was already pitifully small!

how come?

He looked upstream. He couldn't see very clearly due to the dark sky, but with the faint moonlight, he could still see the sparkling waves reflected on the water, which was a bit too low!

Is it possible...

Someone is cutting off the flow of water upstream?

This discovery made Ning Zhenggang feel as if a huge boulder had hit the apex of his heart. The pain was so painful that he even stopped breathing for half a breath.

Upstream...

Ning Zhenggang's discovery was not even verified by Chen Ze, because there was actually no need to do so.

Previously, Zheng Yuanyun had sent 100,000 cavalry to the upstream position in order to control the dike.

But because Chen Ze had thought of this first, when Zheng Yuanyun's cavalry troops had just set off, Chen Ze had already asked Zhang Hualin to rush over first, cut the dike, and release the surging water.

But those cavalry didn't come back, so what were they doing upstream?

Now Chen Ze has determined that Xilong City must be destroyed so that there is no need for exploration anymore. He just asked Zhang Hualin to find a way to hide next to Zheng Yuanyun, but he can probably guess what those cavalry will do.

Move rocks or cut down trees and throw them all into the river to block the river!

The scale of one hundred thousand people is already quite large. They can build a temporary dam in a short period of time to block the river flow.

After such a long time, under the effect of such a two-pronged approach, the amount of river water that can flow from the upstream has naturally been greatly reduced, and this will also cause the water source downstream to begin to dry up.

Therefore, it is self-evident where those unknown armies belong.

That is……

Ning Zhenggang's face turned pale. When he thought of this possibility, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the original truth of the matter.

No wonder, no wonder!

He stared coldly at the other side of the river, as if he could see Zheng Yuanyun directly from here.

No wonder he seemed to be motionless. After all, he was careless!

No, this is not careless!

Ning Zhenggang knew very well that he only had so many troops at hand, and he could only think about the head and not the tail. If he still thought about taking care of the head and tail in such a severe situation, he would only lose faster.

There is no need for him to be aware or unaware of the other party's strategy.

So what if you notice it?

With Zheng Yuanyun's military strength, he casually sent a troop to cut off the water flow upstream. How could he stop it?

With Zheng Yuanyun's military strength, he casually sent an army to wade across the river downstream, and then reached the other three gates of Xilong. How could he stop it?

In the final analysis, his military strength is only enough for him to defend one side of the city gate. If Xilong City did not have a natural geographical advantage, he would have been defeated long ago!

Zheng Yuanyun......

After all, this person is not the idiot he thinks he is!

You are not a loser who only sacrifices the lives of your own soldiers to act recklessly!

While he was attacking head-on, he was also planning secretly. In the end, just when he thought he had a chance to win, what awaited him was a disastrous defeat!

Is there no gold warning bell at the city gate?

Then there should be no more warnings.

Zheng Yuanyun had made so many secret arrangements, how could he not have considered a plan on how to attack the three city gates whose defense capabilities were basically zero?

It is estimated that when the soldier commander rushed back to report the news, the south city gate...perhaps plus the east and west city gates, should have been...broken, right?

Ning Zheng just let out a long breath, and immediately his eyebrows became serious.

So what if it's broken?

Even if you die, you have to be on your back!

"Shoot, hit me hard!"

Ning Zhenggang, who had exposed blue veins on his face, felt a surge of resentment in his chest and rushed to his forehead. He immediately raised his right hand high and slashed hard!

The trebuchet troops that had been prepared for a long time immediately fired with artillery fire, and countless catapults burning with strong flames pierced the sky. This time, the target, which Ning Zhenggang wanted to pull back, was the one who was still struggling below.

The 70,000-sword shield bearer.

These soldiers were clearly abandoned by Zheng Yuanyun. Whether they were killed or not had no impact on his plan at all.

And what about your own side?

Whether he kills or not has no impact on the fact that Xilong City is about to be destroyed.

Killing them is purely to relieve myself.

And this tone of voice has no effect.

Although the ferocious-looking Ning Zhenggang was already crazy, his remaining sanity kept reminding him that it was of no use.

It's useless, but it's useless, but how can I swallow this breath?

beat!

kill!

The last craziness!

Reflected in the blood and fire was Ning Zhenggang's face that became extremely ferocious due to despair.

Ketan City.

Chen Ze sighed slightly and shook his head.

We can understand Ning Zhenggang's madness, and anyone in his position would also be crazy.

Not everyone can bear the feeling of falling from the clouds.

What he originally thought was a big victory, but what he got in the end was a big defeat. He fell suddenly from a very high place. It would be an exaggeration to say that Ning Zhenggang went crazy on the spot.

Understandable.

But Chen Ze couldn't help but sigh for those soldiers who died in vain and who were about to die in vain.

In troubled times, human life is nothing more than that. These soldiers sacrificed their own lives for the military exploits of high-ranking generals.

And after the incident, who will remember their efforts?
