With the help of Chen Ming, Gu Qingfeng and others, Tang Tianxing's investigation was quick.

After half a day at most, everyone returned to the grove where Chen Ze was from all directions.

Including Tang Tianxing, all the people who went out to investigate did not look good.

Chen Ze smiled bitterly.

There was no need for Chen Ming and the others to report again. He simply saw everyone's investigation results at the same time.

As expected, Cheng Hong almost completely surrounded the outside of Ihe City.

With a city still separated, everyone discovered that there were a large number of scouts lurking in the periphery. Going further in, the density of the scouts became higher and higher. In the end, they were more than one mile away from Juhe City.

, Cheng Hong laid out a circle of military camps.

This guy is a bit ruthless.

He actually mobilized all the garrison troops from the several cities surrounding Iihe City and built military camps around Iihe City.

In this way, Cheng Hong not only exerted pressure on Iihe City, but more importantly, he could prevent Chen Ze from sending people to sneak into Iihe City and contact Ouyang Lixing. It could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

From what Chen Ze saw just now, in his map, are these the enemy forces represented by the small red dots?

What can be seen on his map is a circle of red lines surrounding Iai City, which is simply watertight.

How to infiltrate in this situation?

It has to be said that although Cheng Hong chose the stupidest way to prevent Chen Ze from contacting Ouyang Lixing, it was also the most effective way.

Let’s not say whether Chen Ze deserves to be targeted like this, but as far as Cheng Hong is concerned, he has the capital to do so.

His military strength is as many as three million!

This is not a small number. It is precisely because of this number that he can surround Iihe City from all directions without allowing Ouyang Lixing to make any changes.

His troops were originally used to encircle Iai City, but now they just stretched the supply line a bit and put the troops in the wild. There are also logistics troops responsible for running in both directions to ensure the supply of the troops.

This style of play will definitely not work in a normal battle situation. Once the enemy is aware of it, he will definitely send people to attack his logistics line. As long as the logistics line is broken and supplies are lost, Cheng Hongbu's troops on the periphery will

It's dangerous.

But the current situation is that Ouyang Lixing, who has the ability to cut off the supply money, cannot get out, while Chen Ze and others outside are too small in number to cause a devastating blow to the supply line.

Therefore, Cheng Hong felt confident and sent out all the troops.

His plan can be described as a conspiracy. He made such an arrangement because he was sure that you, Chen Ze, could not cut off his line, and there were no other troops in the Nantes province that could pose a threat to him.

So, can you still sneak in?

Just looking at Tang Tianxing's thoughtful face, one could tell that even he felt difficulties.

Cheng Hong's troops are simply too many.

There were a total of three million people, and they were not harassed by any enemy troops. The iron barrel formation they set up could be operated in three shifts, and the surveillance was seamless, giving Tang Tianxing no chance at all.

Compared to Tell City, the difficulty of infiltrating was ten times more difficult?

Over at Ter City, the defense force was relaxed because they did not think that the enemy would come. In fact, even the guard Wang Gui did not stay on the top of the city.

I was invited here by my subordinates.

That gave Tang Tianxing a big chance to find the most suitable angle to cut in.

But this time, Tang Tianxing was unable to find such an angle when the other party was already prepared.

It can be clearly seen from Chen Ze that during this half day, Tang Tianxing was the one who ran the most. He almost ran through most of the encirclement. His purpose was self-evident, which was to find a suitable person.

entry point.

Unfortunately, no.

Maybe after waiting for three to five days, if no enemy appears, maybe there will be, but it's just maybe. And with such a large-scale blockade, how can Tang Tianxing find which direction the soldiers will relax?

It is simply a fool's errand to expect that the entire blockade of the other side will be relaxed.

Even Tang Tianxing can’t do it?

Chen Ze pondered, Cheng Hong was even more difficult than he imagined.

"Son."

At this moment, Chen Ming stepped forward, hesitated, and said, "I met He Meng during my investigation."

"oh?"

Chen Ze raised his eyebrows and turned his eyes to him.

He still had some impression of who this He Meng was.

After Zheng Yuanyun's defeat, he and General Luo stayed in Xilong City. Among the guards in the city was one named He Meng.

This person had a good relationship with Meng Yang and others at the beginning. During the boring days of guarding the city, several of them had a lot of fun eating and drinking. In today's terms, they were fair-weather friends.

But this is not the point. The point is that He Meng is a serious member of the Qingyang Empire. Chen Ze can confirm this even when Qingyang Bailie is indifferent at this moment.

The reason is that this person was one of the 500,000 reinforcements that General Luo had snatched from Tel City. Later, after Chen Ze and Ouyang Lixing joined forces, the two sides jointly attacked the city occupied by Yan Haomiao.

pass.

In that battle, He Meng showed a strong desire to kill Yan Haomiao.

Later, at the wine table with Meng Yang and others, He Meng even revealed that his father was killed in a battle with the Bai Lie Empire, and this hatred was his purpose in joining the army.

There shouldn't be any lies.

Chen Ze carefully recalled the battle with Yan Haomiao.

Although He Meng was not as strong as Meng Yang and other fierce men who were possessed by Chen Ze in that battle, he was the most active one, and his hands were definitely stained with a lot of blood from Bai Lie Empire soldiers.

If it weren't for deep-seated hatred, why would Meng be like this?

Then this can at least prove that this person should not be a spy sent by the Bailie Empire to the Qingyang Empire, otherwise, his acting skills would be too strong.

In fact, He Mengzhi's military rank so far is only that of a lieutenant, and he is still a middle- and lower-level general.

A middle- and lower-level general was far from being able to make the Bailie Empire pay the blood of many soldiers to pave his career in the Qingyang Empire.

If it is Cheng Hong, then it is still possible.

So one can imagine how helpless and angry He Meng felt now that he was in Cheng Hong's army.

Of these three million troops, except for nearly one million who belong to the Qingyang Empire, the remaining two million belong to the Bai Lie Empire. This fact cannot be hidden.

Therefore, Cheng Hong once explained to the generals that this was a cooperation between his country and the Bailie Empire, and the purpose was to divide the two provinces of Nantes and Fengqi.

It is a normal thing to join forces vertically and horizontally, so even if He Meng doesn't want to, he can only obey orders.
