The Era of Generals

boom--!

Everyone was in an uproar.

Catapult?

Battering ram?

These are already large-scale siege equipment, and they are definitely not owned by thieves and bandits.

Even if wood is everywhere in the poisonous mist forest, there is no problem if you want to make it.

But these things are not finished after they are made, and a large number of people have to be trained to be familiar with them!

And where is the Forest of Poisonous Mist?

Although the forces of all sizes inside are intertwined and extremely complicated, and there have been constant internal struggles over the years, it is not a city after all!

Without a city, naturally there is no need for siege equipment, and these things are for nothing, unless...

"Did they already have the heart of rebellion?!"

One of the counselors exclaimed on the spot, but as soon as he said a word, he himself seemed to have swallowed a whole egg and choked, his face flushed red.

Not only him, but others also looked different.

None of the people present were stupid, otherwise how would they obtain the military rank?

Even a general who is good at strength needs to have a certain degree of military accomplishment, otherwise, wouldn't everyone be a general, and who would be willing to be a small soldier who is driven by others?

rebellion!

These two simple words, together with the fact that Zhu Yan's three cities are facing Bo'an's major military situation, really can't help but make people think about it.

If it weren't for the support of the imperial power behind them, they would have dared to plot a rebellion with just a few thousand fugitives!

Even if they can capture Xiyun City, can they hold it?

After the Qingyang army, who had solved the danger of Bo'an, recovered, none of these people would be able to escape, and even the last sanctuary, the Poison Mist Forest, would be destroyed.

No one with a little brain would dare to do such a stupid thing, unless it is...

Zhu Yan!

These two words weighed heavily on everyone's chest, making everyone's expressions dignified, and they were no longer as relaxed and casual as before.

The atmosphere in the calculation room once dropped to freezing point.

Mr. Jing waited for a while, seeing that no one spoke again, his eyes fell on Cao Lang as if there was nothing, and he said indifferently: "The situation is like this. Now we can talk about the distribution of military power."

As soon as these words came out, Cao Lang, who had been shouting the most before, suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his body trembled violently.

Mr. Jing said: "Cao Lang, what you said before is not unreasonable. It is true that military aircraft tokens should not be given casually. Then you have the highest military rank here. I will assign you five hundred elite soldiers first. What do you think?"

"This this……"

Cao Lang's old face suddenly turned pale, and after a long while, he finally said dryly: "Mr. Jing is serious, I am just a little general, and such important military affairs are naturally for those who are capable. I……"

His gaze fell on the goatee counselor as if asking for help, his eyes lit up, "I think Brother Huang is the most suitable to command the city defense!"

He completely forgot that he was the capable person he said just now.

"I?"

Goatee Counselor was still calm, Nian Xu thought for a while, shook his head and sighed: "No, after thinking about it again and again, I still can't come up with a solution to break the situation. Naturally, I can't take such a big responsibility!"

Just now he proposed to stick to Xiyun City, which was based on his previous understanding of the Poisonous Mist Forest, and he did not take into account the current military appearance of the fugitives and the completeness of the siege equipment.

Thinking about it again at this moment, not to mention the opponent's superiority in numbers, and the large siege equipment in their hands, there is a high probability that there is Zhuyan Empire behind them, how can they defend?

"That……"

Cao Lang turned his gaze again with disappointment, but all the people he glanced at, no matter the generals or the counselors, shrank their bodies, obviously not wanting to show their heads at this time.

In the end, his eyes fell on the only person who didn't dodge, but it was the boy whom he mocked with contempt and contempt, and the third-rank counselor with the lowest military rank present.

Chen Ze.

He has been silent since he entered the calculation room. Mr. Jing's information did not exceed his predictions. It basically proved his previous speculation. He had already been mentally prepared for how bad the current situation was.

Looking at Chen Ze, Cao Lang's face turned blue and red, and he really wanted to slap himself.

Isn't this full of food?

Originally, there was already an ignorant kid who took over this hot potato, and he desperately wanted to grab it, but now he was riding a tiger.

But his embarrassment didn't last long.

The reason why Mr. Jing called him to the calculation room was not because he was so bored that he took the time to slap Cao Lang in the face at this juncture.

In addition to introducing the military situation to everyone, it was more about helping Chen Ze stabilize his command. Otherwise, if there was a war and Chen Ze's orders could not be effectively implemented, the battle would have been lost before it was fought.

Of course Chen Ze was well aware of this, so when Mr. Jing looked at him, he who had been silent all this time opened his mouth.

"If you have no objections, I would like to take the command post!"

"you……?"

Everyone looked sideways at Chen Ze, quite speechless.

It was Cao Lang who made the clamor just now, but if you ask yourself, no one agrees with Cao Lang's statement in their hearts, and no one pays attention to this third-class counselor.

But right now, when everyone understands the situation and dare not take over the military power, this little counselor whom they look down on dares to stand up.

Regardless of whether he has this ability or not, this courage alone makes everyone feel ashamed.

"Chen Ze!"

Mr. Jing looked serious, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

Chen Ze cupped his hands and replied solemnly: "I'm not sure about defeating the enemy, but I'm sure about defending the city for five days!"

Five days?

Everyone was surprised, where did this date come from?

If you can't defeat the enemy, what's the use of just defending for five days?

"To tell you the truth, I happened to enter the Forest of Poisonous Mist to perform a mission the day before tomorrow, and happened to find something strange inside, so I have already reported the information about the Forest of Poisonous Mist to Mr. Jing."

Chen Ze said to the crowd: "More than half an hour ago, I asked Mr. Jing to send someone to rush to Qiuding City to rescue soldiers. At the same time, some people rushed to chase the city lord's troops. Calculated according to the distance, if the two parties receive the news , can rush back to help within five days.”

"And even if you can't catch up..."

Chen Ze's eyes flickered, and he said, "We have another support army!"

"Oh? Where are the reinforcements coming from?"

Mr. Jing frowned slightly and asked.

"Heyuan Province!"

Chen Ze pointed at the sand table, and said in a deep voice, "The messenger who came to Xiyun City to report the enemy's situation yesterday has already left, and his next stop will naturally be Biping City in Heyuan Province!"

"If Biping City sends troops to help, the fastest route will definitely go through Xiyun City, and the distance will be about five days."

Having said that, he took a deep breath, exuded incomparable confidence from all over his body, and said in a loud voice: "So we only need to stay on guard for five days, no matter which way the reinforcements from the three routes arrive, the danger of Xiyun will be solved immediately!"
