Sure enough, after learning a little about Kang'an City.

Chu Ke arranged for Jin Kun to set off with his troops and garrison Baixuancheng, leaving his family in Kang'an.

In this regard, Jin Kun was also relieved.

In these years, being able to get such a treatment shows that he is at least free of life now.

So for Chu Ke's arrangement, Jin Kun of course implemented it non-stop.

Half an hour later, he took a dozen of his cronies to Baixuan City.

Chu Ke sat in front of the table, and the map was still spread out on the table.

In fact, the map is marked with the labels of Kang'an City and several other places, which have been changed to the labels of the Xuanzi camp at this time.

"Hong Wu, where do you think it's better for us to hit next?" Chu Ke asked Hong Wu who was standing on the side while looking at the map.

Hong Wu looked at the map, was silent, and said after a long time.

"You can hit Ning'an City. ”

"Ning'an City?" Chu Ke looked at the map.

The location of Ning'an City is eighty miles southeast of Kang'an City.

This distance is not too far.

Ning'an City is also a red dot.

"But General, you need to be prepared to fight Ning'an City. Hong Wu continued.

"Preparations, what preparations?" Chu Ke asked, "What is the armed strength of this Ning'an City, do you need me to send more people from the Xuanzi Battalion?"

"The armed strength of Ning'an City is not much different from that of Kang'an City, but. Hong Wu shook his head and said, "But what needs to be noted is that after Ning'an City is defeated, it will definitely attract the attention of the Zhenxi Army." ”

Hong Wu walked to the opposite side of Chu Ke, took out a dry brush, and drew two "lines" in front of Chu Ke's eyes.

"General, after we captured Ning'an City, there are already three cities in our hands, not counting Baixuan City, there are also two cities of Kang'an and Ning'an. Hong Wu said.

"The two cities and their dependent territories are in our hands, and we can already say that they are quite a force in the southern world. ”

"And the route of the Zhenxi Army is not far from us. In this way, we will definitely attract the attention of the Zhenxi Army to which Jiang Hanming belongs. ”

"So that means Jiang Hanming will definitely attack me?" Chu Ke said as he touched his chin.

The art of war he and Liu Feng learned was mainly based on arranging troops and fighting between the two armies.

As for the deployment of troops on a larger scale and the analysis of the general situation, Chu Ke learned only the mean.

Hong Wu is better than Chu Ke in terms of situation analysis.

"I can't say that I will definitely do it, but it is more than 40% likely. Hong Wu Zhengse.

"After we took Ning'an City, the location was not far from the route of the Zhenxi Army. Whether it is to quell the rebellion or to ensure the safety of the supply lines in the rear, they have a reason to send troops to attack us. ”

"Take Ning'an City, our territory is big enough. But we haven't digested him yet, and we don't have enough manpower to protect Ning'an City, so there will be some risks. ”

"How sure are you of repelling the Zhenxi Army and holding Ning'an City?" Chu Ke asked.

"Fifty percent. Hong Wu said, "Judging from our current strength, fifty percent is already looking at it more optimistically, but in fact, it may only be barely forty percent." ”

"Enough. ”

Chu Ke stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and walked out with a smile on his face.

I walked to the door and looked out at the lush but autumnal courtyard.

"It's worth doing when there's a 10% chance of it, and I'm more than 30% sure now. Chu Ke said.

"Those who hesitate to look left and right will never be able to make a decision, and if they can't make a decision, it is equivalent to achieving nothing. This Ning'an, we want it!"

Three days later, Chu Ke completed complete control of Kang'an.

After reorganizing the original army of Kang'an City, Chu Ke sent 5,000 troops, including 500 soldiers of the Xuanzi Battalion, to launch an attack on Ning'an City in the southeast.

The combat effectiveness of Ning'an City is slightly insufficient compared to Jinkun's Kang'an City.

In just half a day, Li Kai, the actual controller of Ning'an City, led the city to surrender.

At this point, in the southern world of the Barbarian Witch Continent, Chu Ke took the two cities of Kang'an and Ning'an, and became a big force in the southern part of the Xizhou.

What is the difference between Jiang Hanming's Western Army and an ordinary field army?

This gap can be seen in the ability to obtain information alone.

Not long after Chu Ke took Ning'an City, the generals of the Zhenxi Army learned what happened on Chu Ke's side.

Immediately, there was a voice in the Zhenxi army that said that it was necessary to pacify Chu Ke's rebellious forces.

It's just that Chu Ke has been hiding behind the scenes, and on the surface, it was Hong Wu, the original owner of Baixuanzhai Village, who led the Bai Xuan army to capture Kang'an City and Ning'an City.

In the big tent of the main general of the Zhenxi Army, Jiang Hanming sat in the big tent as the main general of the first army, and the generals of the Zhenxi Army stood on the left and right in front of him.

Jiang Hanming was holding a piece of information in his hand, which was about Hong Wu.

Jiang Hanming saw that Hong Wu had a very strong momentum in the past few days.

I don't know where such a number one person came out, starting from the deciduous mountains, and connecting two cities in a few days, it is unstoppable.

"Gentlemen, how should we deal with the enemy?" Jiang Hanming glanced at the generals standing in front of him.

"General, the last general is willing to lead the army to take down such thieves. A young general lined up and gave a military salute to Jiang Hanming.

"Okay, General Yang Chengdong is willing to share the worries of the palace master, who else is willing to go?" Jiang Hanming praised the young general and asked everyone.

"General, the last general is willing to go with General Yang Xiao. Another general stood out in the ranks.

This is an angry, dignified-looking general.

"Okay, General Yang Chengdong and General Yan Wei are willing to go, so the general will give the two generals 10,000 soldiers and horses to go to pacify the thieves. Jiang Hanming picked up an arrow and threw it to Yan Wei.

"The last general commands!" Yang Chengdong and Yan Wei knelt down and said sonorously.

Subsequently, Yan Wei was the mainstay, supplemented by Yang Chengdong.

The 10,000 Zhenxi Army was taken out of the barracks and followed the two in the direction of Ning'an City.

10,000 Zhenxi Army, this will be the most effective army that Chu Ke has encountered since he sent out his troops.

And the two people who led the army were both well-known generals who had experienced a hundred battles.

It's definitely not like Jin Kun Li Kai, which can be compared.

The battle of Ning'an City is bound to be a hard battle.

After Chu Ke took Ning'an City, he stabilized the situation in the city as quickly as possible.

When the reorganization of the army came to an end, there was also news of the arrival of the 10,000 Zhenxi Army.

"So fast? I was just about to get some rest. Chu Ke and Hong Wu walked around the city wall.

Just now, the scout came to report, saying that the 10,000 Zhenxi Army was only a day's journey from Ning'an City.

"But looking at the general's appearance, it seems that he has a bamboo in his chest. Hong Wu knew that Chu Ke was joking.

The 10,000 Zhenxi Army is indeed a bit tricky, but it is not enough to make Chu Ke lose everything.

Even if Ning'an City is not enough to fight, it is a big deal to return to Kang'an.

Just with an army of 10,000 people, he wanted to destroy Chu Ke, that was really underestimating Chu Ke.

But they can't be blamed for this, after all, the Zhenxi Army doesn't know that there is a person like Chu Ke.

They still think that the person who laid down the two cities of Kang'an and An'an is him Hongwu.

"But then again, I still want to keep Ning'an if I can keep it. Chu Ke said with a smile, "Just look at how much ability this Jiang Hanming's Zhenxi Army has." ”

"General, the Zhenxi Army is well-known, and it is the second strongest force in the Barbarian Witch Continent after the Demon Venerable Army. There are no vain people under the fame, even if it is not Jiang Hanming's personal visit, we can't take it lightly. Hong Wu said.

"Of course I know that. Chu Ke said, "The two armies are fighting, and they are the most jealous soldiers. It will be a soldier's courage, and if I am too casual, the army under my command will not be able to exert its combat effectiveness. Underestimating the enemy is a taboo for soldiers. ”

Hong Wu nodded, Chu Ke was not as easily complacent as he imagined.

"By the way, then again, have you blocked the news about the Zhenxi Army?" Chu Ke asked.

"General Qiyu, everything has been done. It's just that some rich and powerful people in the city have begun to sneak away, and my people are arresting them. Hong Wu replied.

"No, let them go. Chu Ke waved his hand and said, "These people have no impact on the overall situation, and if they are caught, they may leak the news." I don't want the people down there who don't understand the situation to mess around and make a mess. ”

"What the general said is very true, Hong Wu will do it. Hong Wu said.

"Don't be in a hurry for a while, how is the situation of the other three battalions?" Chu Ke stopped, stood on the edge of the battlement, and looked at the scenery in the distance.

"The third battalion of Heaven and Earth Huang has completed the blockade of the Guanhe Army, and now in the blockade circle, I am afraid that not even a single mosquito can fly out. Hong Wu said.

Regarding the matter of the expeditionary force, Chu Ke had already told Hong Wu.

At first, Hong Wu was extremely frightened of the identity of the Huanggu Expeditionary Force.

But when Chu Ke made the intention of the expeditionary force and made a heavenly oath in front of Hong Wu, Hong Wu was able to accept it slowly.

Why can Hong Wu accept it so quickly?

In the conquest of the Ancient Continent for many years, a considerable part of the manpower was captured from the four continents.

As a result, the Ancient Continent could never be attacked, and every attack ended in failure.

Stealing chickens does not make rice, but instead makes your own scene full of holes and the people are miserable.

Even so, it seems that every generation of Demon Venerable Palace Masters has never thought of giving up attacking the Desolate Ancient Continent.

On the contrary, it has intensified again and again, if it weren't for this kind of behavior that caused the anger of the heavens and people, why would Ju Xinshui, the famous generals of the continent, revolt one after another to eliminate the tyranny of the Demon Venerable Palace?

It's like that saying, only when there is a good life can a ghost be willing to be a beggar.

The rebel army of Ju Xinshui and others also rose up one after another in order to liberate the poor masses on the Barbarian Witch Continent.

"Martial seniors, they are really fast, I just have to face 10,000 enemy troops, but they have covered the bandit army in Guanhe City? Hahaha, they are worthy of their predecessors. Chu Ke said with a smile.

"In fact, the combat effectiveness of the Guanhe Army is far inferior to that of the Zhenxi Army. The ability of the three battalions of Heaven and Earth Huang is so high, and it is easy to eliminate the Guan He army. It's just that the martial seniors surrounded them but didn't fight, so they must have other ideas. Hong Wu said with a smile.

Since following Chu Ke, he found that he was several steps closer to his desire to benefit the world.

"Well, that's right. Chu Ke nodded and said, "Martial seniors, they must have their intentions in doing this, let's ignore these for now." ”

"There are 10,000 more guests coming, and we have to entertain them first, lest we say that we are not very hospitable. ”

After speaking, Chu Ke and Hong Wu were on the city wall and laughed at each other.

provoked the surrounding city defenders, and looked at them in puzzlement.

In a tense and fulfilling atmosphere, another day passed in Ning'an City.

As soon as the morning fog cleared the next morning, Chu Ke Hongwu received the latest news from the Zhenxi Army.

The 10,000 Zhenxi Army, led by Yan Wei and Yang Chengdong, was coming in the direction of Ning'an City.

It is less than twenty miles away from Ning'an City.

Twenty miles away, very close.

"Pass the order down and get the soldiers ready. Chu Ke sat in the City Lord's Mansion and ordered, "Give our guests a surprise." ”

Yan Wei and Yang Chengdong led 10,000 Zhenxi troops, divided into left, middle and right roads, and came towards Ning'an City.

The army pressed the border, Chu Ke stood at the head of the city and looked at the 10,000 army, and the black pressure occupied most of the flat land outside the city.

"Sure enough, it's a strong army. After Chu Ke saw the appearance of the Zhenxi Army, he expressed his admiration for the Zhenxi Army in his heart.

"Such an army, even if it is placed on the Ancient Continent, it can't come up with a few. ”

Jiang Hanming may not be as good as Ju Xinshui or Li Quanyi in war.

But he still has a lot of rules for governing the army.

The Zhenxi Army is strictly disciplined and quite strong in combat, and it is one of the few strong forces in the world.

Even Yan Wei and Yang Chengdong, who are now leading the army, have their own set of skills in fighting.

Yan Wei has followed Jiang Hanming all the year round, and he can be described as an experienced experience.

He was in his sixties this year, and he looked to be in his early forties, all because his cultivation had reached the transcendent realm.

And Yang Chengdong is young and promising. Although he is only twenty-five or sixteen years old, he has already achieved the status of being on an equal footing with veterans such as Yan Wei.

This is also the reason why he dared to fight and rush when he was fighting, had proper tactics, and made great achievements at a young age.

His own cultivation has also broken through to the realm of refining gods.

"This is the Hong Wu of Baixuanzhai?" Yan Wei squinted his eyes and looked at the rows of soldiers standing at the head of the city.

From the momentum of those soldiers, this veteran can feel that they are much stronger than those ruined defenders.

However, it is only a lot stronger.

In Yan Wei's eyes, Hong Wu's soldiers and his Zhenxi army were still 108,000 miles away.

"Good equipment. Yan Wei said.

"Old General Yan, this Hongwu's soldiers and horses are really a little special. Yang Chengdong said on the side, he and Yan Wei were both riding horses, and the two sat side by side.

"Yes, the temperament and equipment are different, and it is indeed not comparable to ordinary city defense forces. Yan Wei nodded.

"It's no wonder that the leader of Kang An'an was taken down by them in a short period of time. ”
