Zheng Yuanyun's soldiers were of higher quality.

This is something that both sides have understood from the very beginning of the war.

But at this moment, what about the quality of soldiers?

Not to mention the morale blow that repeated failures would bring to Zheng Yuanyun's soldiers, let's just say that all his most elite heavy cavalry were wiped out, which was an unbearable burden for the opponent's army.

1.2 million against 400,000, which is a full three times the strength of the opponent. Zheng Yuanyun has lost the advantage of city defense, and now he can only fight Ouyang Lixing in a hand-to-hand battle.

Ouyang Lixing couldn't believe it. After so many twists and turns, the quality of Zheng Yuanyun's soldiers could still be as strong as ever, and all his soldiers could still fight one against three!

Just as Ouyang Lixing was commanding the troops outside the city to enter the city, five or six people on flying horses came from inside the city.

These were the scouts Chen Shen sent to the city in advance after entering the city to find out the distribution of troops in Juhe City, so that after Ouyang Lixing arrived, he could quickly grasp the situation in the city and make the optimal deployment.

"Sir, the spies are back."

Chen Shen had sharp eyes and discovered the returning spies first, and quickly reported to Ouyang Li.

Ouyang Lixing glanced at him and nodded approvingly.

This was not his instruction, but Chen Shen's own experience. It is no wonder that he has always been highly used here by Ouyang Lixing.

"General!"

The five or six cavalrymen, under Chen Shen's care, rushed directly in front of Ouyang Lixing. The leader jumped off his horse, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The military strength in Ihe City has changed!"

Ouyang Lixing pondered: "But Zheng Yuanyun withdrew all the troops from the left and right city gates and went to the main city gate?"

The scout looked up and said in surprise: "Just like the general said, they are gathering their troops now!"

Ouyang Lixing nodded. This was not beyond his expectation. Even when he ordered the siege soldiers to retreat, he already felt that Zheng Yuanyun was also deliberately reducing contact with him to avoid unnecessary contact.

Loss of troops.

Therefore, Zheng Yuanyun must have known about the situation at the rear city gate, and noticed something from his actions, but...

Ouyang Lixing immediately sneered.

He, Zheng Yuanyun, noticed something, but in the end he still fell deeply into Chen Ze's trap and did not come out.

At this time, if Ouyang Lixing puts himself into Zheng Yuanyun's perspective, the judgment he can make will definitely not be what Zheng Yuanyun is doing.

Nowadays, if you are still trapped in Juhe City, you are waiting for death. For Zheng Yuanyun, the only chance of survival is actually to take advantage of him to mobilize a large number of troops to come towards the rear gate, fight desperately, and break through the main gate to leave.

In this way, although Zheng Yuanyun became a lost dog with no whereabouts, at least one life could still be saved. As for whether he would be caught by himself in the future, that would depend on his fate.

In any case, this is the only chance to leave Iai City and the only chance to get rid of him temporarily.

However, it is a pity that Zheng Yuanyun did not choose to do this. Instead, he gathered all his troops together and made it clear that he wanted to continue to defend Iihe City.

Of course Ouyang Lixing knew what he was waiting for. What Zheng Yuanyun was waiting for was the unnecessary reinforcements.

If there are reinforcements, if the reinforcements are really coming soon, then there is no problem for Zheng Yuanyun to do this, but the question is, does he have reinforcements?

The only thing that can be gained by sticking to it like this is disappointment and even despair!

Of course, thinking this way, Ouyang Lixing would not have any sympathy or compassion for Zheng Yuanyun at this time.

You know, Zheng Yuanyun's identity is an invader!

The land under his feet belongs to their province of Nantes. As an invader, when invading others, he must be prepared to be pressed to the ground and rubbed. Therefore, Ouyang Lixing can only say that this is just

Zheng Yuanyun is solely to blame.

"Go ahead and order me to first send 200,000 troops to take over the city gates on the left and right sides, and then send another 100,000 people as a search team to pull out all the nails that may appear in the city!"

Ouyang Lixing thought for a while and immediately ordered. Although the current situation is that Zheng Yuanyun is desperately shrinking his own forces, he does not rule out the possibility that he will hide a small part of his forces in Iihe City. Once the two sides start a war in the city, they will wait for an opportunity to come out and cause trouble.

, this is not impossible.

As for the civilians in Juhe City, Ouyang Lixing didn't want to disturb him for the time being, especially when he was completely sure to capture Zheng Yuanyun. It was better for the civilians to stay at home honestly, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble after running out.

mess.

besides……

He paused and then said: "Send people out again and tell the people on the left and right that after we take over the city gate, they will move to the main city gate. They must block the main city gate and prevent any

It’s possible for that guy Zheng Yuanyun to break through!”

Since the other side has abandoned the city gates on the left and right sides, there is no need to send people to blockade the city outside. It is better to consolidate the forces and seal off Zheng Yuanyun's only escape route.

And it must be done quickly!

From Chen Ming, Ouyang Lixing got a piece of news.

The biggest reason why Zheng Yuanyun insisted on holding on was that Chen Ze used his identity as Zheng Yuanyun's confidant to send him a sounding arrow and told him that reinforcements would arrive in half an hour.

It was only half an hour, so of course Zheng Yuanyun would choose to stick to it, but once this time passed, there was no guarantee that Zheng Yuanyun would not become suspicious and start to have other ideas.

It only lasted half an hour. Given the size of Juhe City, it was completely insufficient for Ouyang Lixing to take over the entire city and ensure the safety of the city.

That's why he wanted to cut off Zheng Yuanyun's escape route in advance.

Everything was ready, and the army was assembled in the city. Ouyang Lixing took a deep breath, stood on the top of the rear city gate, looked down at the soldiers below, and said with a sonorous voice: "Brothers, the last battle is here!"

With just one word, the crowd in the city became excited.

No one knows the weight of this sentence better than them.

There are also people who remember what Ouyang Lixing said before the siege started.

After all, sieges and wars are cruel. Not long ago, some of their comrades who had joined them in roaring to drive out the Qingyang Empire could no longer be seen at this moment.

Their tall and burly bodies remained forever on the road to attack Iai City Gate, under the city wall, at the top of the city, and in various places where they fought hard.

But now, the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and ourselves are already obvious. As Ouyang Lixing said, the final battle is about to begin.
Chapter completed!
