"It should not be!"

Chen Ming seemed to check it carefully again, which gave Chen Ze an affirmative answer.

"How to say?"

Chen Ze asked directly.

Originally, he could also directly see everything Chen Ming saw through the video function, and then distinguish the authenticity by himself.

But as a result, his military exploits are not much. The amount of military exploits consumed to open a video is incomparable only with voice calls.

Secondly, he still believed in Chen Ming's judgment.

When he was going to complete the first task, Chen Ming's work as a scout played a key role.

So Chen Ze thought he didn't need to take a look in person.

"My son, these traces don't seem to be left by the army."

Chen Mingying said: "The traces left by the regular army in the march will not look scattered like I have seen, and there are no rules and queues at all."

"It looks more like a trace of horse bandits raging!"

Chen Ming had seen horse bandits. He had seen a lot of similar traces in the Forest of Poisonous Fog, so he seemed very confident when he spoke.

"Horse bandit."

Chen Ze nodded, in other words, it was the same thing as a gangster. "

"According to you, how many are there?"

He asked again.

Chen Ming pondered for a moment, and solemnly said: "There should be about 30,000 people."

"More than 30,000 people?"

Chen Ze thought about it carefully, and the number seemed to be similar.

To be able to looting three cities at an extremely fast speed, the number of these rogues must reach a certain scale.

Even if the three cities were like empty cities at the time, at least there were still a large number of civilians in the city. If there is no deterrence of force, it is not certain who will fight.

So there are 30,000 troops, which is a more suitable number.

Chen Ze thought for a while and ordered: "In this way, you can walk along these traces and look at it. It would be great if you can find people. If you can't, you must also see where the traces end."

After all, he couldn't leave now, and Chen Ming didn't have a task at hand for the time being.

The main reason why Chen Ze cares so much about these rogues is that the direction Chen Ming is responsible for is directly facing Chen Ze's destination.

That is the direction in which those hostages are being held.

The traces that Chen Ming found were going in that direction, which made Chen Ze had to care.

Moreover, at this time, Chen Ze was already almost certain that the traces Chen Ming found should have been left by the gangsters.

The reason is simple.

With the current situation, there are fewer and fewer safe areas within Fengqi Province, so many bandits have been forced to avoid them far away.

Just like Huang Liang, like those gangsters who suddenly appeared near the border.

Their area of ​​activity must not overlap with the marching route of the Bailie Empire, otherwise they will either be annihilated or captured, and become cannon fodder for the Bailie Empire to siege the city.

Who wants to be cannon fodder?

So running is a must.

And this run is not aimlessly, it must be to bypass the army of the Bailie Empire.

In this way, their activity space will be compressed again and again.

And the bandits are bandits after all, and in the process of fleeing, they are also difficult to change their nature, so they made the looting of the three border cities.

It can also be seen from this that the leader who led this tribe of bandits is probably someone who has had the experience of a general, and his judgment of the situation is still very accurate.

So they did not take advantage of the situation to go to Nantes province after finishing the three cities.

Because he knows very well that the situation in Fengqi province is not good, and a large part of the reason lies in the province of Nantes.

At the moment, the province of Nantes, which is in dire straits, is a hundred times more dangerous than the province of Fengqi.

Going to the province of Nantes is tantamount to looking for death.

But staying in the three border cities is not enough.

After all, they took advantage of Huang Liang's attack on Dongping City to seize the three cities, which was regarded as grabbing the fruits of Huang Liang's victory.

Isn't staying in the three border cities equivalent to waiting for Feng Huangliang to come home for revenge?

When a fierce battle is fought, the inferior gangsters may not be Huang Liang's opponents.

In bandit forces, the criterion for judging strength is very simple, that is, who has more people and who has fewer people.

There are many people in Huangliang, so he is a bull. Since he has already grabbed food, when will he not run at this time?

Then this escape route is actually quite obvious.

It was not possible to go to the main city of Fengxi Province, nor to escape into Nantes Province, so the position Chen Ming was in became the first choice.

There, the Bailie Empire imprisoned the old Chinese hostages.

The location chosen by the Bailie Empire was not a very important strategic location in Fengqi Province, and since the battle has progressed, a large number of troops have been pressing in the direction of the main city, so that the strength of the guards of the hostages has increased. The less come.

That being the case, the Bailie Empire will not be a big fan in that place, but will be low-key, just hold the hostages to complete the task.

Therefore, this calm was misunderstood by the leader of the bandits, thinking that it was beyond the reach of the Bailie Empire, and it happened to be able to pass right now, maybe two more cities could be grabbed along the way.

And this also explains the people sent by Huang Liang

Through the analysis of the current situation, Chen Ze almost pinched the psychological activities of the gang leader to the extreme.

What needs to be determined right now is what Chen Ming will discover after following the traces.

These gangsters have been away for at least half a month. The time is indeed a bit long. Considering that there are four to five cities in the straight line from Dongping City to the place where the hostages are held. Chen Ze thinks, maybe even more. In time.

Originally wanted to integrate all the forces of the four border cities, but unexpectedly the development of the matter exceeded Chen Ze's expectations, but...

If the judgment is true, those guys are impartial and just go in that direction...

Maybe ~lightnovelpub.net~ there are still places that can be used.

Chen Ze thought silently, and at this time Meng Yang and others also came to the training ground, but then took on the post of instructor according to Chen Ze's order.

On the one hand, Chen Ze asked Meng Yang and others to try their best to make the bandit army possess a certain combat capability, and on the other hand, he was also trying to restore some combat power for the captives as much as possible.

In order to train the forces of Huangliang as much as possible, Chen Ze even directly possessed the generals of Meng Yang and Guo, and asked them to strengthen the training of these loose bandits with the strongest strength.

One can imagine how horribly weeping in the playground.

In comparison, Dongping City's original five thousand troops would be much happier.

Their low combat power is lower than the recent malnutrition. This is Huang Liang's fault.

Just give them enough nutrition right now.

While Chen Ze was paying attention to the training of the soldiers, only one day later, Chen Ming's message came back.
