After Chen Ming finished his report, Chen Ze also told him everything that happened here.

As a scout on the front line, Chen Ming is very sure to understand all aspects of the situation, which will be of great benefit to his investigation, at least he will not go in the wrong direction due to incorrect information.

After listening to Chen Ze's story, Chen Ming's tone was full of surprise.

He never expected that he would inadvertently pass by the small river. He originally thought he would find a force that planned to take advantage of the evil, but he never expected that the person he met was the real owner.

At this moment, he began to feel lucky that he had not alerted the enemy, and listened to Chen Ze's words and did not act rashly.

Otherwise, once the other party is alerted, Chen Ze's arrangements at this time will be completely disrupted.

After Chen Ming finished digesting his information, Chen Ze asked again: "Where are the hostages?"

"What did they say? Did they see it?"

"This does not."

Chen Ming responded: "When Hua Lao's people came, the opponent had already captured Tianhong City, and then Tianhong City was under martial law. No unrelated people were allowed to enter. They also thought of many ways, and even lost the lives of several brothers.

Nor can we sneak into Tianhong City."

Is the defense so tight?

Chen Ze was stunned for a moment, this was inconsistent with what he had guessed.

After thinking for a while, he asked: "Then if it were you, would it be possible to sneak in?"

Chen Ming's kung fu is indeed inferior to Tang Tianxing's, not even as good as Tang Feng's, but Chen Ze still has great confidence in him, and it will never be difficult to live with him in ordinary places.

"this……"

Chen Ming's voice on the other side was very embarrassed, and he said rather embarrassedly: "Sir, I already went to see it when I came here, and it really felt like there was no way to get through. I think... with my ability, I probably won't be able to get in.

."

Chen Ze was surprised again when he heard this.

Since Chen Ming followed him, he has explored many places and has never let him down.

Of course, there was also a reason why Chen Ze used the system map to assist him.

But of course Chen Ming knew this.

In other words, when he admitted that he could not enter, he also took Chen Ze's assistance into account.

Even so, you can't enter?

What are you doing with such a strong defense?

Chen Ze frowned.

The reason why I am surprised and feel incredible is because of the information provided by Mo He before.

Mo He once said that in order to deceive others, Huang and Li, two generals of the Bailie Empire, actually arranged the hostages in a nearby town after they captured Tianhong City.

In other words, there are actually no hostages in Tianhong City.

If this is the case, then why do they still set up a dragnet in Tianhong City to strictly prohibit anyone from entering?

Is there any doubt?

But is this too much?

You must know that according to Mo He, the two generals who jointly led this army were actually at odds.

In addition, in order to get rid of General Li, General Huang brought out the troops he could control, and made up his mind to capture more bandits to expand his own strength, and then go to the front line to make contributions.

Therefore, after he took away most of the troops, there were not many troops left for General Li, and Tianhong City was turned into a monolith, which also required a large amount of troops.

In this way, how many troops can they leave in the small town where the hostages are actually held?

You must know that the hostages are indeed hostages, but there are two thousand of them, and they are soldiers of the Xuanjia Empire who have always been extremely powerful in single combat.

Once there are not enough troops left behind, aren't they afraid that the hostages will revolt and instead beat them to a pulp?

This is not impossible.

Even if five years have passed, even within these five years, those hostages have suffered a lot, and their combat effectiveness will certainly decline.

But don't forget, they are soldiers of the Xuanjia Empire!

The Xuanjia Empire has a poor geographical location and is a place with freezing weather, which has fostered the perseverance of the soldiers of this empire.

Just like Meng Yang and others.

They have wasted their time in Bo'an Barracks for so long. Once they choose to come out again, won't they be equally as capable?

In the past five years, they have tolerated it long enough and been tortured enough. Once there is an opportunity, will they not seize it?

It is impossible for the other party not to guard against this.

So, there is a problem here.

Was Mo He lying to him, or did General Li make new arrangements later?

No!

The possibility of making other arrangements is slim!

Chen Mingcai just said that when Hua Lao's people arrived, they encountered the Bai Lie Empire attacking Tianhong City!

Since then, they have been monitoring the area.

So speaking of it, the situation in Tianhong City has actually never changed. Otherwise, how could they have lost a few people just because they wanted to go in and inquire about the military situation?

So this has been the situation from the beginning and it has never changed.

However, Mo He said that for the sake of safety, General Li created a suspicious formation in Tianhong City and placed more than 2,000 hostages in a nearby town.

Of course Chen Ze didn't have any problem when he first heard this, and he also agreed with this arrangement.

Because this is how cautious a custody unit should be after most of its troops are gone.

But when Chen Ming said this, he realized that the situation was probably not that simple.

That guy didn't tell the truth?

Anger rose in his heart, but after thinking about it, Chen Ze rejected the idea.

If Mo He was deliberately deceiving him, then he could have done it elsewhere instead of at this point.

Is the situation in Tianhong City directly related to Chen Ze's current situation?

After thinking for a while, he asked one more question: "Have the people on Hua Lao's side confirmed the total number of troops on the other side?"

"This has!"

Chen Ming quickly responded: "They said that the number of troops that came to attack Tianhong City was about 50,000, and then some troops were transferred away one after another. According to their observations, the total strength of the opponent was only more than 20,000.

, Oh, by the way, most of them have also left Tianhong City, which is the army that my subordinates met by the river before."

That's it.

Chen Ze nodded, feeling more and more sure of his guess.

Mo He did not lie about the number of troops, and the opponent's total military strength was indeed only more than 20,000.

So, is there anything wrong with my plan?

He planned to let Tang Feng lead a bandit force to the front, and then pretend to be defeated and be captured by the opponent. Finally, General Huang would be able to personally bring his people to the base camp, and then wait for the opportunity to find the right location.

opportunity to rescue the hostages.

Merely concealing Tianhong City's troop deployment does not seem to be able to stop Chen Ze.

After all, he didn't need to attack Tianhong City at all, but brought his men directly in through the opponent.
