Chapter 119

Shou!

stick to it!

Chen Ze withdrew his eyebrows and retreated behind his own line, constantly dispatching people to block the front lines.

Fortunately, it is a hilly terrain, and the space becomes smaller as you go up. Although there are only two thousand real soldiers on Chen Ze's side, they are enough to defend and have space.

The meaning of being able to defend is not just to send someone to guard it, but also to have the strength to withstand the opponent's strong advance.

The 2,000 soldiers that Chen Ze took over from He Xuan were indeed soldiers from Qilin City, but the problem was that they were only soldiers from the logistical troop responsible for escorting food and grass.

In terms of combat power, it is weaker than the elite ambush soldiers carefully selected by the Zhu Yan Empire. If it weren't for the taunting aura just now, Zhu Yan's ambush soldiers had lost hundreds of soldiers in an instant, giving the soldiers of Qilin City the illusion that the opponent was easy to kill, so that their morale was high. Otherwise, I'm afraid that if you don't have to fight, you will collapse.

But now the halo of ridicule is gone.

Chen Ze used Xu Qing to trigger Bai Rao General Xing earlier, and when Ruan Wenshan gave the order to charge, forty minutes flew by.

If Chen Ze hadn't ordered Xu Qing to continue pretending to wander around the front to attract the opponent's attention, Zhu Yan's ambush would probably have taken the mountain directly.

However, this is not a solution, and Xu Qing can't rely on Xu Qing's tricks to win the current situation.

To be honest, the reason why he can still hold on is more due to the fact that Cheng Yu, who has not reached the cooldown, is playing a role.

Cheng Yu's ambush technique is a fake halo-type generals technique, which is like cheating when he is in passive defense, but unfortunately it can only take effect on long-range units.

The reason why the soldiers of Qilin City have not been defeated at the moment is that the five hundred archers who have been influenced by Cheng Yu's martial arts skills are frantically shooting arrows to suppress the opponent.

Being able to force thousands of people on the opposite side with five hundred, this record is certainly not weak, even very strong, so strong that Ruan Wenshan, who is killing all directions, can't help but turn his head and look around frequently. The desire of the five hundred archers to use for themselves.

It's a pity that there are only five hundred.

If it is five thousand, it is not impossible to wipe out these enemy troops.

The current Chen Ze can be said to have reached the point where he is running out of ammunition and food.

Ma Teng used his star on Meng Yang, and now he is forcibly stuck on the outside of the encirclement by the opponent, unable to support him for a while, even if Meng Yang takes a long way around and throws off the iron wall in the middle, Zhu Yan Empire also has There are more than 8,000 cavalry who did not participate in the battle.

Moreover, Meng Yang and others are currently at the outermost periphery. Even if they think that their cavalry is more powerful than the opponent after being blessed with commanding power, the advantage in terrain has been reversed.

Once the two cavalry units confront each other, the impact of Zhu Yan's cavalry that dives from top to bottom will be even greater, enough to wipe out the charge advantage of Meng Yang's cavalry team, and it is still in the situation where Ma Teng's plan of running thousands of miles has been used up. Now, you can no longer rush and kill wantonly like before.

Meng Yang's side can't be counted on for the time being, and Bai Rao has entered the cooldown again. Correspondingly, Xu Qing can no longer trigger other generals.

Guo Zi and the Xuanjia elite were not there, it was impossible for Chen Ze to arbitrarily attach the last two general stars to these soldiers of Qilin City who were not very loyal. Sun Xiu, the former's combat power is lower than the opponent's commander-level general, and it is embarrassing to be possessed. The latter's commanding soldiers are archers, which overlaps with the existing Cheng Yu.

Sun Xiu has the skill of firing ten thousand arrows, but it is not 100% effective. On the contrary, Cheng Yu is not only 100% successful in general skills, but also the combat strength provided by the skill of ambush is not lower than that of ten thousand arrows. Call out Sun Xiu.

Therefore, all Chen Ze could rely on for a while was Cheng Yu's ambush skills, and there were more than two thousand people, and those five hundred archers were the only ones who were truly lethal.

But Cheng Yu didn't have much time left.

At the beginning, Chen Ze only used the fake general star to strengthen Cheng Yu's success rate of performing general skills, and basically invested other resources in Ma Teng. In terms of duration, Cheng Yu was not much longer than Bai Rao, but because of the late summoning, so It can continue to exist.

So what Chen Ze is doing now is commanding and dispatching soldiers to guard against death, and feeding fragments to Cheng Yu in the star system.

Although there is a rule that you can spend military exploits to extend the duration of a single general star, but the epic rank general star requires too much military exploits, it is better to invest in strengthening fragments that will benefit you for a lifetime.

The battle has progressed up to now. First, Meng Yang led the cavalry to charge and kill, and then Cheng Yu broke out with an ambush plan. Chen Zena's combat achievements, which were already almost bottomed out, have been supplemented by a lot of money. Buying a few fragments is not a big deal. event.

But he didn't buy too much, he only bought three fragments to increase Cheng Yu's duration to one hour.

It's not that he's stingy, but that he only needs half an hour of buffer time right now.

Chen Ze currently has five confidantes who have passed the military general assessment. Except for Meng Yang, Li Quan'an, and Xu Qing, Guo Zi was ordered by him to take the Xuanjia elites to escort Zhu Yan's scout Du Jun to another place, and they are not with him now.

Well, there is one more person.

Chen Ming!

Before He Xuan's supply troops were surrounded, Chen Ming led a few scouts to explore the way ahead. It was also because of him that Chen Ze was able to discover the enemy's situation on the map at the first time, and then arrived in time.

But Chen Ming, who had completed the investigation task, never came back.

It wasn't because Chen Ming was frightened by Zhu Yan's ambush that he lost his loyalty and defected, but because Chen Zeben had other orders for him.

On this line, there is not only He Xuan's army, but also the 20,000 Xiyun army who came from Xiyun City to help defend the supply line!

At the beginning, the five troops set out from West Cloud City, which supply line each of them would go to, and which points on each supply line needed to be defended. These have long been discussed, Chen Ze naturally Remember.

So before Chen Ming set off, Chen Ze had assigned him a mission. In addition to secretly following He Xuan's troops, another mission was to find the enemy and not far from one of the defensive points on the supply line. , Chen Ming didn't need to come back, but rushed to the defensive point at full speed to move reinforcements.

This small hill is not far from one of the three defensive points of Qilin City, so Chen Ming, who knew the location, rushed there naturally.

Of course, this is just one of the defensive points. The Xiyun army may not be there, and Chen Ming has a great chance to rush to nothing.

However, there is no suspense in Chen Ze's place as to whether Chen Ming will miss out. From Chen Ming's map, Chen Ze can intuitively see the situation in his vicinity, and thus make a corresponding choice, whether to fight or avoid.

Right now, his choice is to defend and hold off Zhu Yan's ambush. From this, it can be seen that Chen Ming's side...

Didn't miss out!
