attack!

On Chen Shen's side, as Zheng Yuanyun finally realized, when the defenders finally sounded the alarm, the rear city gate had already been broken!

Still led by the light cavalry, the light cavalry troops rushed into the city quickly, slashing and charging at everyone they encountered. In just a moment, the pitiful little defensive force at the rear city gate was quickly disintegrated.

Immediately, he did not continue to take advantage of the victory and rush forward. For prudent reasons, Chen Shen only ordered the soldiers to firmly control the back gate area first, not giving the Qingyang Empire any chance to counterattack.

Although this caution was later found to be unnecessary, Chen Shen was not in a hurry at all. He just faithfully carried out Ouyang Lixing's orders.

Not long after, the siege troops who came to support from the left and right sides all entered through the rear city gate. Since then, nearly 200,000 troops have gathered at the rear city gate, and they finally gained a firm foothold.

Chen Shen breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that all this was the result of the Master's plan, so he had no intention of rushing forward and just waited where he was.

This is the reason why Ouyang Lixing handed over the task of capturing the rear city gate to Chen Shen. At this time, most generals would make the mistake of being overjoyed with success, but Chen Shen would never make it here.

Not long after, after Chen Shen confirmed for the third time that there was no problem at the rear city gate, he waited for Ouyang Lixing's large force to arrive.

Moreover, the commander of this unit is none other than General Ouyang!

"General!"

Chen Shen stepped forward to greet him. Even with his usual stability, he could not help but look happy. Just because he was not greedy for merit did not mean that he did not want military merit, but for him, being able to capture the rear city gate this time was already a great achievement.

When Ouyang Lixing came to him, his body couldn't help but straighten up a bit.

"Well done this time."

Ouyang Lixing nodded at him, his expression not relaxed. He glanced into Juhe City and asked, "How is the situation?"

Chen Shen quickly put away the joy on his face and said solemnly: "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, I don't know the situation in the city very well, but I can vouch for it near the rear city gate. Now we have everything under control!"

"very good."

Ouyang Lixing's expression relaxed a lot. He looked at Chen Shen and said with a smile: "You did a good job in this matter. I will write it down for you, general."

"When the empire rewards merits in the future, your share will be indispensable!"

"Thank you, General!"

Chen Shen was overjoyed. He had been waiting for Ouyang Lixing's words, and the hard work of lurking and digging trenches during this period of time was not in vain.

Ouyang Lixing nodded, but he smiled bitterly in his heart.

It's just that his subordinates didn't know, but he knew very well that the main contributor to the victory at the rear city gate was not Chen Shen, the executor, but not him as the commander, but...

Chen Ze.

When Ouyang Lixing thought of this name, Ouyang Lixing had mixed feelings in his heart. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should thank Chen Ze or be wary of Chen Ze.

Using light cavalry to fight heavy cavalry was a proposal that Chen Ze told him through Chen Ming. All the planning actually came from Chen Ze. Ouyang Lixing only relayed it to Chen Ze after thinking about and approving the plan.

Just deep.

It turned out to be a real success.

Even now, Ouyang Lixing couldn't believe that things would go so smoothly. The commander of the heavy cavalry actually fell into this trap and buried himself in a pit.

Of course this can also be explained.

After all, Chen Ze is a general of the Qingyang Empire, and he must know his own generals better than he, an outsider, does. Therefore, Chen Ze's plan is basically aimed at Xu Tianci's own character, which makes sense.

Ouyang Lixing's explanation is correct, but Chen Ze didn't know anything about Xu Tianci's character. Instead, when Gu Qingfeng and Zhang Hualin were hiding in Zheng Yuanyun's tent, the two of them had been targeting every confidant around Zheng Yuanyun.

Everyone has paid attention to them, and Chen Ze has personally seen everyone's performance through the system, so he has an idea.

As for Xu Tianci, he knew that he was also a conservative general, but while he was conservative, he also had ambitions, and perhaps because he commanded heavy cavalry, an invincible unit on the plains, his self-confidence

It is also extremely powerful.

This was what Chen Ze was aiming at. His plan, and even the location of the trench, did not exceed Xu Tianci's psychological expectations. This was the only way to ensure that Xu Tianci continued to pursue.

The result was so obvious that even Ouyang Lixing felt like he was in a dream.

Of course, as long as he knows about this, he will never tell his subordinates explicitly. Otherwise, if his prestige as the commander-in-chief cannot be maintained, it is not a big problem. It is a big problem if it affects morale.

What if after annihilating Zheng Yuanyun, Chen Ze suddenly rebels, then... they have to fight another battle, so if Chen Ze is promoted to a high position at this time, once his side confronts Chen Ze in the future,

, Ouyang Lixing was afraid that his own morale would automatically weaken by 30%, which would be very bad.

Moreover, there seems to be no need to say it, but in Ouyang Lixing's heart, Chen Ze's danger level has been raised to a level even higher than that of Zheng Yuanyun.

He was not idle while he was thinking, the troops outside the city were entering Iai City in an orderly manner.

As Chen Shen said, he had completely controlled the rear city gate. More than one million troops brought by Ouyang Lixing entered the city one after another, but not even a single enemy was seen.

He transferred this million troops from the front battlefield under Zheng Yuanyun's nose. He transferred 500,000 troops from the main city gate. Apart from the ones that were lost during the previous siege, he left them in the main city.

There are still about 200,000 people at the gate to seal the city.

This can also show how much damage was done to the attacking soldiers in a siege battle. The battle lasted only a short time. Even though Ouyang Lixing racked his brains to preserve his troops, he still lost tens of thousands of troops.

The other 500,000 are composed of 250,000 from the city gates on the left and right sides, plus the 200,000 already at Chen Shen's place, forming a total of 1.2 million troops.

.

And Zheng Yuanyun's place.

Ouyang Lixing has always had calculations.

Zheng Yuanyun only had a total of 600,000 troops. During the siege, the total number of troops lost to his three gates was estimated to be around 100,000, but this is not the point.

The point is, all the 100,000 heavy cavalry at the rear city gate were wiped out!

As a result, Zheng Yuanyun's troop losses reached 200,000, and he only had 400,000 troops left. More importantly, the heavy cavalry that Zheng Yuanyun had always relied on were completely wiped out.
Chapter completed!
