The Era of Generals

Chapter 403: ???All roads converge

"Master Chen!"

While Guo Zi was introducing the situation to Chen Ze, from the army entering the city, a general in full armor walked up to Chen Ze with sonorous steps and bowed his hand in salute.

When Chen Ze saw it, he took a step to the side and didn't accept his courtesy. Instead, he smiled and said, "Master Supervisor, what is it? It's time to tell me that you haven't been able to welcome it far."

This general is a superintendent. Although he is a general in terms of military rank, he is still a lot higher than Chen Ze's co-leader.

The salute of the high-ranking ones to the low-ranking ones is too weird to see.

The governor also smiled and said, "Master Chen is polite. Although the general is the leading general this time, Mr. Hua had explained before he left. When these soldiers were brought to Mr. Chen, everything was ordered by the master, including I'm the supervisor."

As he said, he took out a token from his arms and handed it to Chen Ze, saying, "This is the military aircraft token given to you by Mr. Hua. With this token in hand, these 100,000 troops only listen to Master Chen. Orders, I would never speak nonsense."

This time Chen Ze was not polite, his expression straightened, and when he received the token, he also thanked the superintendent.

"By the way, I don't know the name of General Gao yet?"

After carefully storing the token, Chen Ze asked again.

"Don't dare to be, the general's surname is Huang Mingshi. He used to work in front of Hua Lao's account. This time Hua Lao finally stopped avoiding the world. Mr. Chen definitely contributed to this. Speaking of it, I would also like to thank Mr. Chen very much!"

Chen Ze nodded clearly, and as expected, this man was a close friend of Hua Lao back then, that is, like the military commander of West Cloud City, Mr. Jing, they were all generals who followed or even received Hua Lao's favor.

Before, Chen Ze guessed that even if Old Man Hua retires, his forces will not die with it. At that time, Mr. Jing did want to bring Chen Ze into the group, but Chen Ze never expressed his opinion.

Now that Elder Hua is back out of the mountain, it is quite normal for those diehards who have followed him to gather in West Cloud City.

This is what Huang Shi should be like, so Hua Lao was relieved to temporarily hand over the military power to him, and he would take it to the province of Nantes and transfer it to Chen Ze, without worrying about any changes in the process.

It can be seen that this Huang Shi is also a person trusted by Hua Lao.

So he didn't neglect, and ordered Huang Shiying to return to the city lord's mansion to settle down, and he himself stayed at the city gate.

Inside the gate of Ketan City was a huge square. A hundred thousand troops entered through the gate and lined up on the spot. The whole hundred thousand people were not crowded.

Chen Ze stood on the makeshift stage, his eyes swept down the stage, and he couldn't help but nod slightly.

Through the magnifying glass, he could see that the quality of these soldiers was not low. Most of them were between ordinary soldiers and elite soldiers. Although they were not as good as the one hundred thousand elite soldiers that Hua Lao tuned to him, this time it was. In the hasty allocation, the quality of this soldier is not bad.

A few simple instructions, the purpose is to let the soldiers know themselves, considering that these soldiers have just gone through a long journey, he didn't make much arrangements, so Xu Qing led the team to temporarily settle down in the barracks.

However, before leaving, he still gave an explanation, asking the soldiers to be undressed and ready to march again at any time!

At this point, Chen Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

Now everything is still under his control, although Ning Zhenggang easily lost Xilong City is an unexpected thing, but fortunately Ouyang's enforcement is very powerful.

He didn't use Chen Ming to remind him that he had been in contact with Xilong City during the march. There were a large number of scouts going back and forth along the way, passing back first-hand information at any time.

Ouyang clearly knew how Xilongcheng defended and how he lost it.

In fact, just when Ning Zheng just asked the surrounding cities to gather their forces to Xilong City, Ouyang Strictly knew it was not good.

He also climbed up from the bottom step by step, and he couldn't understand Ning Zhenggang's mind better, and because of this, he knew that even if he sent someone to persuade Ning Zhenggang, it would be useless.

After all, although the two of them have military ranks, they belong to two different provinces, and they have no affiliation with each other. He can advise Ning Zhenggang, but he can’t directly report to his subordinates. Order.

This led to the fact that even if Ouyang found out that Xilong City was wrong, he was helpless and could not influence Ning Zhenggang's actions.

Then all he could do was to make his side rush to the predetermined location faster, in order to dissolve the influence of Ning Zhenggang's impulsiveness.

Therefore, when Zheng Yuanyun ordered the slaughter of the city, Ouyang's strict side had ignored him and ordered all the soldiers to march at full speed.

Originally, he was planning to give these tired soldiers under him a breath of respite when he was on the road. At least when he arrived at the predetermined location, the recovered soldiers could immediately go into battle.

But now he can't. He can only ignore the status of the soldiers. The first priority is to get to the border as soon as possible.

So when Zheng Yuanyun attacked the city and plundered the land, Ouyang Li Xing was fighting for time. It should take a month to finish the road, and finally half a month later, he reached the established border city.

Simon, Hezhu, and Tianyuan, these three cities are the three inland border cities of Nantes Province. Because they are located inland, they usually do not encounter wars, so the relaxation of the city defense can be imagined. Got it.

Fortunately, the battle ahead was defeated. The fact that the Nantes province was invaded by the enemy has spread throughout the province. So long ago, the city owners of these three cities were stepping up the construction of city defense ~lightnovelpub.net~ also. Fortunately, the three cities are far away from Xilong City, and Ning Zhenggang has not been conscripted by the defenders. The total force of the three cities combined is also 200,000.

However, in terms of the quality of soldiers, there is no need to look forward to it too much.

Then Ouyang Li Xing rushed over. He was the chief soldier and came with more than two million reinforcements. The lord of these three small cities didn’t feel entangled, and quickly handed over his military power. Strictly unified command by Ouyang.

The matter was urgent, Ouyang was not polite, took over the military power and the city defense, and then began to deploy the defense.

At the same time, a total of 200,000 soldiers in the three cities were also gathered by him. Taking advantage of some time, Ouyang Lixing actually started training on the eve of the war.

As the saying goes, if the gun is not bright or light, even if these soldiers cannot be expected to make a qualitative leap in this half month, it is still possible to increase their combat power by at least one to two percent.

So under this intensive preparation, Zheng Yuanyun's army like a sharp knife finally cut in front of the last fig leaf in the province of Nantes.
