The Era of Generals

Chapter 448 ?????? Decision

Chapter 448   Decision

"Pass down the order, send more people, be sure to find out the movements of the troops coming out of Tianyuan City!"

Zheng Yuanyun gave the order after thinking about it.

It makes sense logically that Ouyang Lixing only sent troops at such a time.

First, just like what he thought just now, Ouyang Lixing needs to clear Huang Chengjian's troops first, so that he can have more ideas.

Secondly, although Zheng Yuanyun was injured, the so-called poor should not pursue him, if there is no detailed information, Ouyang Lixing would not dare to chase him out without reservation.

We must know that under the current situation, Ouyang Lixing is the last hope of the Nantes Province. Once he makes a wrong judgment or loses his strength, the blow to the Nantes Province will be devastating.

Therefore, no matter what decision Ouyang Lixing made, the whole Nantes province should be taken as the premise.

So it was only at this time that he finally found out the details of Zheng Yuanyun, decided to send troops out to pursue him, and even wanted to drive all the troops of the Qingyang Empire out of Nantes Province, which made sense.

However, the timing is so perfect!

Zheng Yuanyun smiled.

He was worrying about how to fight a beautiful turnaround, when Ouyang Lixing came to his door.

After sending someone out to inquire about the situation, Zheng Yuanyun hastily spread out the map, observed carefully for a while, and frowned.

He gave up too much before.

After four cities were abandoned in a row, he found that his own retreat route was clearly marked on the map.

As long as he looked from the direction of the city, Ouyang Lixing didn't even need to deliberately send people to investigate, he could determine where Zheng Yuanyun and the Qingyang Empire troops were right now.

It is Juhe City.

With Juhe City as the center point, it is impossible to go to the forward city, but no matter how you look at it, the location of the city and the strength of the city defense cannot be compared with Juhe City.

Unless it is to retreat again and again, and retreat to Xilong City.

But there is a point.

Ma Hui had already passed through Xilong City, that is to say, a large number of reinforcements that Zheng Yuanyun had been looking forward to so much had already arrived from Xilong City.

So if he retreats again, he will meet reinforcements halfway.

And after the two armies met, Zheng Yuanyun's military strength would be unprecedentedly large. After holding such a heavy army, why would he go back to Xilong City?

At that time, he had even more troops than Ouyang Lixing. If he still insisted on retreating, he would only be looked down upon again.

And it's definitely not necessary.

When he led the troops to advance in the opposite direction, Ouyang Lixing, who found that the situation was wrong, would naturally not confront him head-on, so the best choice for the opponent at that time was to use Juhe City as their base.

Although not as good as Xilong City, Kejuhe City is still a city that is very suitable for defense. Zheng Yuanyun came with a heavy army, but he would run into Ouyang Lixing who also had a heavy army and occupied a solid city defense.

Isn't this another bad decision?

You must know that the troops that Zheng Yuanyun got this time were not only those from his Anluo province, but also a large number of reinforcements from neighboring provinces.

That is to say, he will no longer be able to do whatever it takes to attack the city, regardless of the lives of a large number of soldiers, as before.

For example, in battles like in Xilong City, once he made this choice, he would certainly have absolute command over the soldiers, but the generals sent by the neighboring provinces to oversee the army would definitely stop him from doing so.

Ouyang Lixing also has more than 2 million troops on hand, with such a force to defend a city, and it is also a city of Juhe with a good foundation for city defense.

Zheng Yuanyun couldn't win this city by besieging the city without attacking it like Tianyuan City, unless he ordered now to destroy all the supplies in Juhe City.

But isn't that sick?

Obviously, he could occupy Juhe City for his own use, but for an insignificant reason, he chose to destroy a large amount of supplies?

The purpose is to prevent the enemy from having sufficient supplies when they turn around to attack the city after abandoning Juhe City?

Then why not just defend Juhe City?

Just stick here and wait for Ouyang Lixing to attack.

In terms of time, the time when Ouyang Lixing arrived at Juhe City was actually almost the same as the time when Ma Hui and other reinforcements arrived at Juhe City.

So even if Ouyang Lixing arrived first, Zheng Yuanyun had soldiers on hand after all, so it would be no problem to delay the time by relying on the advantage of the city defense a little.

What's more, this is only the worst case scenario. If Ma Hui and others arrive first, Juhe City will be impenetrable, and they can even take this opportunity to wipe out Ouyang Lixing's invading army in one fell swoop.

So, why not?

This is the most correct choice he should make at this time.

Instead of being afraid to continue to retreat, he lost the opportunity and lost the last trust of the soldiers in him.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yuanyun's expression turned serious. The most important thing right now is to grab time!

Knowing this well, he no longer hesitated, and it was really because of the defeat during this period that made his mentality unstable. He should have sent out a loud arrow to let Ma Hui confirm the identity of the reinforcements, but he immediately changed it to let Ma Hui The others rushed to the strict order of Juhe City.

At the same time, he also issued instructions to his officers and soldiers, no longer preparing for the evacuation of the city, but urgently building city defenses, and making preparations to stick to Juhe City!

Of course, for the sake of confidentiality, Zheng Yuanyun did not explain to the generals that the army was about to arrive.

But even if he didn't say anything, when he decided not to retreat, the soldiers still showed great encouragement.

Who wants to keep running?

Along the way, they have always won battles, except Tianyuan City, which was defeated in the first battle, and since then they have been devastated, throwing away their helmets and armors one after another.

How could the soldiers who had been trained by Zheng Yuanyun to be bloody bear this.

Furthermore, they have always been the attacking side, and it can be said that they have suffered enough from the defenders at the top of the city. This time they finally changed their roles and became them as the defending side. This time, they will call those damn bastards Take a good taste of the torture they once suffered.

The soldiers who didn't know the exact number of Ouyang Lixing's troops accepted Zheng Yuanyun's order very well, even beyond Zheng Yuanyun's expectations, and it boosted their morale a lot.

Sure enough, matters on the battlefield have to be resolved on the battlefield, blindly running away will only drag him down.

After realizing this, Zheng Yuanyun sighed helplessly, and then his expression turned cold.

This will be his last battle in Nantes Province!

This guy Ouyang Lixing played hide-and-seek with him for a month or two, now it's finally time for a head-to-head confrontation, who will win?

The winner will take the entire Nantes province, while the loser will have nothing!
