boom!

Everyone was in an uproar.

Catapult?

Battering ram?

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

Even though the Poison Mist Forest is full of wood, there is no problem if you want to make it.

But these things are not finished just once they are made. A large number of people must be trained to become familiar with their use!

And where is the Forest of Poison Mist?

Although the large and small forces inside are extremely complicated, and there have been constant internal fights over the years, it is not a city after all!

Without a city, there would naturally be no need for siege equipment. All these things would be in vain unless...

"Have they already had the intention to rebel?!"

A counselor exclaimed on the spot, but as soon as he said the words, he seemed to have choked after swallowing a whole egg, and his face turned red.

Not only him, but others also had different expressions.

None of the people present are stupid, otherwise how could they obtain military rank?

Even generals who are good at strength still need to have certain military literacy. Otherwise, everyone can be a general, and who would be willing to be a soldier who is driven by others?

rebellion!

These two simple words, coupled with the important military situation of Zhu Yan's three cities approaching Bo'an, really can't help but make people think of it.

If it weren't for the support of the imperial power, they would dare to stage a rebellion with just a few thousand fugitives!

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

After the Qingyang Army has calmed down after solving the crisis of Bo'an, none of these people will be able to escape, and even the Poison Mist Forest, the last refuge, will be destroyed.

No one with any brain would dare to do such a stupid thing, unless...

Zhu Yan!

These two words pressed heavily on everyone's chest, making everyone's expressions solemn. They were no longer as relaxed and casual as before just for melee skills.

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

Mr. Jing waited for a while, but when no one spoke again, his eyes fell on Cao Lang with a vague look, and he said indifferently: "This is the situation. Now we can talk about the distribution of military power."

As soon as these words came out, Cao Lang, who had screamed the loudest before, suddenly felt as if he was struck by thunder, and his body trembled violently.

I heard Mr. Jing say: "Cao Lang, what you said before is not unreasonable. Military aircraft tokens should not be given to anyone casually. So since you have the highest rank here, I will allocate five hundred elite soldiers to you first. What do you think?"

"This this……"

Cao Lang's old face suddenly turned the color of pig's liver. After a long while, he finally said with great difficulty: "Mr. Jing's words are serious. I am just a young general. Such important military affairs are naturally filled by those who are capable.

I……"

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

He completely forgot that he was the capable person in his mouth just now.

"I?"

The goatee counselor was still calm. He twisted his beard and thought for a while, shook his head and sighed: "No, I have thought about it over and over again, but I still can't come up with a way to break the situation. Of course I don't deserve such a big responsibility!"

Just now, he proposed to defend Xiyun City. This was based on his previous understanding of the Poison Mist Forest, and did not take into account the current military appearance of the fugitives and the complete siege equipment.

Thinking about it again at this time, not only does the opponent have a numerical advantage, but they also have large siege equipment in their hands, and there is a high probability that the Zhu Yan Empire is supporting them. How can they defend this?

"That……"

Cao Lang turned around again with disappointed eyes, but everyone he glanced at, including generals and counselors, all shrank back, obviously not wanting to stand out at this time.

In the end, his eyes fell on the only person who did not dodge, but it was the boy who he mocked with utmost contempt and the third-class counselor with the lowest rank present.

Chen Ze.

He had been silent since entering the calculation room. Mr. Jing's intelligence did not exceed his predictions. It basically just proved his previous speculations. He had already been mentally prepared for how bad the current situation was.

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

Isn’t this what you need after eating enough?

Originally, an incompetent boy had already taken over this hot potato, and he was determined to grab it, but now he was riding a tiger with difficulty.

But his embarrassment did not last long.

The reason why Mr. Jing called people to the calculation room was naturally 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, the more important thing is to help Chen Ze stabilize his command. Otherwise, when the war begins, Chen Ze's orders cannot be effectively implemented, and the battle will be lost before it is fought.

Of course Chen Ze knew this very well, so when Mr. Jing also looked at him, he who had remained silent spoke.

"If you don't have any objections, I would like to take over the command position!"

"you……?"

Everyone looked sideways at Chen Ze, somewhat speechless.

It is true that the person who made the noise just now was Cao Lang, but if you ask yourself, no one agrees with Cao Lang's statement in their heart, and no one takes this third-class counselor seriously.

But now when everyone understood the situation and did not dare to take over the military power, this little counselor who was looked down upon by them dared to stand up.

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

"Chen Ze!"

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

Chen Ze raised his hands and replied solemnly: "I'm not sure of defeating the enemy, but I'm sure of 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 be honest with you, I happened to enter the Poison Mist Forest to perform a mission before the next day, and happened to find something strange inside. Therefore, I have already reported the information about the Poison Mist Forest to Mr. Jing."

Chen Ze said to everyone: "Moreover, more than half an hour ago, I asked Mr. Jing to send people to rush to Qiu Ding City to rescue the troops. At the same time, there were also people who rushed to chase the city lord's troops. Based on the distance, if the two parties received the news,

, we can all rush back to help within five days.”

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

Chen Ze's eyes flashed slightly and he said: "We have another supporting army!"

"Oh? Where are the reinforcements coming from?"

Mr. Jing asked with a slightly raised brow.

"Kawara Province!"

Chen Ze pointed to the sand table and said in a deep voice: "The messenger who came to Xiyun City yesterday to report the enemy's situation has left. His next stop is naturally Biping City in Heyuan Province!"

"If Biping City sends troops to help, the fastest route will definitely pass through Xiyun City. The distance is about five days."
