Chapter 512 Routines
Fengqi Province.
This province is very large, with an area that is more than twice that of the Nantes province. It has always been an obstacle for the Bai Lie Empire to invade the Zhu Yan Empire, otherwise Yan Haomiao would not have come all the way to seek it.
But now, Fengqi Province has become not only an obstacle to the Bai Lie Empire, but also an obstacle to the Qingyang Empire.
Of course, the obstacle to the Qingyang Empire lies more with Ouyang Lixing. It was the top commander of Fengqi Province who had been stationed in Nantes Province for a long time, and this was how he managed to defend Nantes Province with great danger.
For most of the territory, the province of Nantes did not change its nationality.
From this point of view, a common enemy emerged between the Bailie Empire and the Qingyang Empire.
Ouyang Lixing!
This man has not only been the long-standing enemy of the Bai Lie Empire, but now he has also become the enemy of the Qingyang Empire. It is precisely because of his presence that the Qingyang Empire has been unable to capture the province of Nantes, and even suffered losses because of it.
It has more than two million troops, as well as one general and countless middle- and high-level generals.
Is there no hatred?
Not only is there hatred, but it is also an obstacle.
Therefore, no matter who takes the lead, as long as the Bailie Empire and the Qingyang Empire reach an agreement, it is very likely that arrangements will be made for the current situation in Nantes Province.
The Qingyang Empire went to attack Fengqi Province.
Fengqi Province's weak defense on the Nantes side was unable to withstand a planned siege, thus creating a gap in the rear of Fengqi Province.
So at this time, should Ouyang Lixing save him or not?
Don't forget that most of the troops he has on hand at the moment come from the rear of Fengqi Province. In other words, if he does not return his troops, the cities in the rear of Fengqi Province will not have enough troops to attack.
The Qingyang army came to defend well prepared.
As a result, Qingyang's army marched in, causing trouble inside Fengqi Province. No matter whether they had the strength to capture all of Fengqi Province, at least, for the main city of Fengqi Province,
The disruption will be huge.
The main city, which is also the front line, is currently confronting the army of Mohe Province. Fengqi Province, which has lost half of its troops, is already somewhat powerless when facing the siege of Mohe Province.
At this time, if the Qingyang Empire joins again, no matter how many troops there are, it will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. As a result, Fengqi Province will be defeated by the attack from both front and rear, and the entire province will be transferred to others.
This is not impossible.
You must know that Yan Haomiao of the Bai Lie Empire actually had this idea at the beginning, but he did not want the Qingyang Empire to get a share of the pie at that time, and he also underestimated Chen Ze, causing irreparable losses.
.
At that time, Yan Haomiao personally led a million-strong army to appear in the province of Nantes. This was not unreasonable.
In other words, even Yan Haomiao believes that the force to break in from the rear does not require too many troops, only one million is enough.
One thing you need to know is that when Yan Haomiao made this calculation, Ouyang Lixing was still in Fengqi Province.
He was there, and so were his three million troops. Yan Haomiao's calculations included Ouyang Lixing and the three million troops who finally went to the province of Nantes.
So at this moment, there is neither Ouyang Lixing nor three million troops in Fengqi Province. The pressure that the Qingyang Empire needs to pay is even less. According to estimates, there are five to six million, which is enough to give Fengqi Province a headache.
.
With such a small amount of troops, the Qingyang Empire can squeeze out no matter how hard it is squeezed.
So this made Ouyang Lixing feel very unstable.
If the other parties really unite, or reach some kind of agreement, and the Qingyang Empire can even make a decision to benefit the Bai Lie Empire, that is, to disrupt the interior of Fengqi Province for Mohe Province for free, then what?
Should Ouyang Lixing return or not?
If we return, the province of Nantes will be empty and will be captured by the Qingyang Empire in one fell swoop, leaving no possibility of counterattack.
If he doesn't return, Ouyang Lixing's base camp will be captured by the Bailie Empire. At this time, he returns to the original question. Should Ouyang Lixing choose Nantes Province or Fengqi Province?
Did he give up the larger and more powerful Fengqi Province and choose to change a city to become the head coach of Nantes Province?
Although his position has not changed, his strength has been greatly reduced. Invisibly, Ouyang Lixing has demoted himself.
How can I bear this?
Therefore, the Qingyang Empire, which helps the Bai Lie Empire for free, will eventually achieve what it wants. When Ouyang Lixing has to make the decision to abandon Nantes Province and return to Fengqi Province to solve the problem, he will occupy all of Nantes.
Province!
No matter how you calculate it, Qingyang Empire is not at a loss.
It was precisely because of this insight that Ouyang Lixing decided to send 300,000 elite troops back to Dongping City to take a look, regardless of the sudden increase in defensive pressure from Iihe City.
And this time, no matter whether anyone attacks Dongping City or not, he is not prepared to withdraw this part of the troops. This is equivalent to leaving a guarantee for his Fengqi Province, or in other words, it is to give him peace of mind.
As a result, Ouyang Lixing buried the idea of switching from defense to offense deeply in his heart. Even though he was bullied to such an extent by the opponent and was almost about to be attacked by troops, he could only choose to wait and see what happens instead of making any move.
any counterattack.
How did he know that although Cheng Hong came, he really did not bring any reinforcements, but only exchanged military power with Commander Luo.
As for this routine of rushing and fighting, it was exactly the counter-attack routine that had been carefully deployed before Cheng Hong arrived, and it was still Ouyang Lixing's style of doing things.
Bailie Province joins forces with Qingyang Empire?
With Yan Haomiao's matter at hand, even if the Bai Lie Empire took the initiative to send someone to talk, Chen Ze might not pay attention to it, not to mention the relationship between General Luo and Luo Bing.
Because of Yan Haomiao's incident, General Luo had the worst impression and the empire that was least willing to cooperate was the Bailie Empire. Chen Ze would not take the initiative to go to the Bailie Empire to discuss cooperation.
And the reason why he planned a counterattack was just to prepare for a rainy day.
As the saying goes, if you defend for a long time, you will lose. Chen Ze naturally understands this truth.
The two parties have been in a stalemate for a month. At this time, no matter who is it, they may lose their composure and make some unexpected moves.
Chen Ze knew his own affairs well, and Chen Ze's current situation was definitely not suitable for a head-on battle with Ouyang Lixing. Knowing this, he naturally wanted to make changes before Ouyang Lixing, so that the other party would not have time to take advantage of this opportunity.
His plan was to use Ouyang Lixing's mentality of attaching great importance to Fengqi Province to deploy all this.
But it's a pity that before he could start his plan, Cheng Hong came and changed defenses with General Luo.
Chapter completed!
