Chapter 379   Shocking East and West

Zhang Hualin was going to the other side according to the instructions given by Chen Ze.

The situation on the frontal battlefield was very clear. Even Chen Ze couldn't see any problem. Ning Zhenggang's deployment at that moment was very powerful and targeted.

If Zheng Yuanyun was really like that, then Chen Ze's judgment would be the same as Ning Zhenggang's, and this battle would end in the defeat of the Qingyang Empire.

And this battle will become a classic in the history of Haotian Continent, where the weak defeat the strong.

Will Zheng Yuanyun fulfill Ning Zhenggang?

Will he make himself a negative teaching material that will be ridiculed for thousands of years?

Obviously impossible.

Moreover, Chen Ze also believed that with Zheng Yuanyun's ingenuity, it was impossible for him to make such a foolish move.

Before, he was so cold-blooded that he didn't care about the lives and deaths of the soldiers. It was because of the situation at that time that he could get Xilong City at the expense of a large number of soldiers' lives.

But now with Ning Zhenggang's response, no matter how many soldiers he sent, he could only send sheep to the tiger's mouth without any benefit.

After all, there is a river between the two sides!

So why did Zheng Yuanyun still do this?

No, in fact, he is already restraining himself.

From Zhang Hualin's perspective, Chen Ze could see that the soldiers who hadn't entered the river were much slower than before.

This is not because they start to retreat because they see no hope of attacking the city, but a prepared collective action.

This also means that Zheng Yuanyun will definitely have a backup!

In fact, of course there will be a backhand.

If not, Zheng Yuanyun would not be so stupid as to go all the way to the dark and let his soldiers die in vain.

He can be cold-blooded, but this cold-bloodedness must be based on the premise that it can indeed bring him benefits.

Otherwise, his own soldiers were also offended, and the city has not yet been captured. Wouldn't he have lost his wife and lost his soldiers?

Based on Chen Ze's understanding of Zheng Yuanyun, this doesn't seem like something he would do, so there must be other arrangements!

Ning Zhenggang's strategy is very good, but for one thing, he is too obsessed with the frontal battlefield.

In fact, the current situation is not insoluble.

For example...

river water.

Also using Zhang Hualin's eyes, Chen Ze saw that the rise in the water level brought about by the opening of the floodgates before the opening of the floodgates had now fallen back due to the accumulation of corpses.

Not only that, but even lower than at the beginning.

Ning Zhenggang paid attention to the frontal battlefield, so he only saw the river channel that was almost flattened because of Zheng Yuanyun's stone-throwing tactics, but he didn't see that the water level downstream was no longer the same as before.

It's because of the corpse!

There were too many dead people, and all of them were sword and shield hands. At this moment, not only corpses were piled up in the river, but also the huge shields of the sword and shield hands.

There were so many things, plus Ning Zhenggang's throwing stones from time to time, almost cut off the river channel on the side of Qingyang Empire.

Downstream the river goes so far...

Zhang Hualin's stealth skills are not inferior to Gu Qingfeng's. After a while, he circled a big circle from the rear to the downstream, raised his feet to try the river, and found that the river was only up to his calf.

"My lord!"

With this step, even Zhang Hualin felt something was wrong, the water was too shallow!

"Let's look again, they should be nearby!"

Chen Ze frowned, regardless of the loss of battle achievements, he could see what Zhang Hualin could see. The water is so shallow, it seems...

Zhang Hualin was ordered to search for it along the lower reaches of the river. After walking for almost half an hour, finally...

"My lord, there is a discovery here!"

He leaned down and looked at the soil on the river bank. It was obvious that the mess had been trampled on not long ago.

Seeing that there was no one around, he cautiously touched the river again. Unexpectedly, he staggered and almost fell headfirst into the river when he kicked his foot.

Fortunately, he was nimble, so he steadied himself immediately, and then tried again, his face changed slightly: "My lord, there are a lot of traces of being trampled on the bottom of the river here. Go to the river!"

Chen Ze, who was far away in Ketan City, sneered, this result was not beyond his expectation.

Zheng Yuanyun, what a cruel scheme!

Since Zhang Hualin rushed to the dam to open the gate to release the water, he did not detect Zheng Yuanyun's movements during that time.

Maybe at that time, or maybe after he found out that the dam had been released, he had other thoughts.

Those sword and shield fighters were nothing more than cannon fodder in the final analysis. Whether they were used as stepping stones to fill up the river, or they were responsible for attracting the attention of the Xilong coach, their mission was successfully completed.

The abundance of traces found here is proof!

Hit east and west.

Taking advantage of the huge number of troops on the frontal battlefield, the opponent had to fight with all his strength, and Zheng Yuanyun, who had more troops in hand, took this opportunity to do another thing.

He mobilized more troops to go far downstream, and after the water level in the river dropped... wading across the river!

The river water that only submerged to the calf position would not cause any hindrance to the march, which is why Zhang Hualin almost fell.

It no longer matters whether the soldiers wading past were sword and shield bearers or cavalry or spearmen.

The important thing is that after Zhang Hualin's investigation, it is estimated that the total strength of those who can cause such a large area of ​​traces will be at least 500,000!

Half a million people have already waded from the lower reaches to the area of ​​Xilong City. Is there any need to think about this result?

Even Chen Ze didn't plan to let Zhang Hualin follow him to see it, because it was no longer necessary.

The ending of Xilong City can be determined after these 500,000 troops cross the river!

"Okay, you can go back and find a way to follow Zheng Yuanyun. You don't have to worry about Xilong City anymore."

Chen Ze shook his head and sighed.

This is typical carelessness.

In order to prevent the gate of Xilong City from being breached, Ning Zhenggang put all his attention on the frontal battlefield, and even sent all the troops in the city to this side of the city wall without reservation.

There is nothing wrong with this. After all, there is such a wide moat between Xilong City and the Qingyang Empire. With the city bridge broken and all ships burned, the only way for the enemy to attack Xilong City is This attack port is feasible.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Ning Zhenggang didn't consider the security issues at other city gates, but he only had so many troops, a total of only 300,000 troops, and it was true that he had to face Zheng Yuanyun's huge 2 million troops. Don't dare to divide up and look around.

As a result, Zheng Yuanyun took advantage of the loophole.

When the water level dropped to the lowest point, his plan of scheming was finally implemented.

And it was getting late at this time, with the cover of night, this part of the army who sneaked across the river would easily touch the other three city gates where there were not many soldiers stationed, thus forming a front and back attack.

So Xilong City... has no way to recover!
