The Era of Generals

It has been almost half a month since the last time I saw my worries on the Heluo Ancient Road.

After accepting Hua Lao's test, what Chen Ze was most worried about was not whether he could complete the task, but rather, whether Gui Jianchou was still in Doman Canyon for such a long time.

Hearing what Chen Ming said at this time, he was also slightly relieved.

"Very good, you are taking some rest today, and tomorrow morning, let's set off in an hour first, and make sure to find out the situation in the canyon!"

After pondering for a while, Chen Ze gave instructions to the scout Chen Ming.

Chen Ming had no objection, but Meng Yang, who happened to pass by, listened, snorted heavily, and said with disdain: "It's just a group of horse bandits, do we need to be serious?"

Chen Ze looked at him and said with a smile, "Then what do you think?"

"In my opinion?"

Meng Yang said proudly: "I'm not bragging, but we brothers are the nemesis of those light cavalry. As long as he puts out a battle formation, even if he has ten times more troops, he can't break through our shield spear formation!"

Among all the arms, the cavalry has the highest mobility and extremely strong assault force. When the two armies confront each other, they are generally used to attack the enemy's formation, like a sharp knife, tearing the enemy's camp to blood.

But the pikemen are the nemesis of the cavalry.

The three-meter-long gun body is swung forward, and even a man and a horse can poke a transparent hole for you, not to mention there are special firearms such as hook and sickle guns designed to hook horse legs.

The heavy shield of the sword and shield hand is also amazing in defense. As long as it withstands the first wave of charge, when the opponent loses its speed advantage, the spearmen will harvest the latter.

Chen Ze was considering the problem of ghosts and sorrows, so when choosing soldiers, he deliberately chose spearmen and sword and shield players to cooperate with them in defense.

"Then what?"

Regarding Meng Yang's pride, Chen Ze was noncommittal and continued to ask.

"Then?"

Meng Yang curled his lips and said: "According to me, the speed of soldiers is very important. Let's make a surprise attack overnight, take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and go straight to Huanglong. Afterwards, it will be a pleasure!"

"Yes, Not Bad."

Chen Ze nodded, and asked again: "Are you sure you can completely destroy the enemy?"

"Total destruction?"

Meng Yang froze for a moment, then confirmed, "Will you keep one?"

"Not one left!"

Chen Ze made a beheading gesture with cold eyes.

The task that Mr. Hua entrusted to him was to wipe out all the ghosts and sorrows, so naturally one of them was indispensable.

"This is impossible!"

Meng Yang said decisively.

"how do I say this?"

Chen Ze asked.

"Look for yourself how many of us there are!"

Meng Yang raised his hand and pointed at his comrades who were sitting on the ground resting, "There are only a dozen of them, not to mention that the number of opponents is several times that of ours, and they are all light cavalry with strong mobility. Once they run, we will chase them with two legs. Four legs?"

Putting out the shield spear array, he is confident that the ghosts will kill one by one, but the opponent is not a fool, won't he run away if he can't beat it?

"But my task is to wipe out all ghosts and see sorrows, leaving no one behind."

Chen Ze looked at him with a faint smile.

"Then your mission failed, congratulations."

Meng Yang shrugged, gloating, "It's not that the brothers didn't try their best, but that you made a mistake in your judgment."

"So how about we have a little extra?"

Chen Ze blinked at him, the smile on his face unchanged.

"You want to gamble again?"

When Meng Yang heard this, he jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. The last bet was still vivid in his memory, and Meng Yang took it as a shameful thing in his life.

"If you don't dare, forget it."

Chen Ze also followed his example and shrugged, with an indifferent expression on his face.

"I dare not?"

Meng Yang stared at his eyes as big as copper bells, and said angrily, "Tell me how to gamble first!"

Chen Zedao: "Just bet that I can wipe out all the ghosts and see the seventy-nine people in total!"

"Not one left?"

"Not one left!"

Meng Yang gritted his teeth, lowered his head and remained silent for a while, but he went over the ratio of the forces between the enemy and us over and over again in his mind.

Then he raised his head, blushed and said, "Where's the bet?"

Chen Ze said directly: "If I win, I want you to swear allegiance to me to the death. It's not a mission, but a lifetime!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's eyes focused on Chen Ze's face, there was suspicion, anger, and even resentment.

Lifelong allegiance?

Why!

As a result of the arrogance inherent in the Xuanjia elite, as soon as Chen Ze said this, more than a dozen soldiers around him all stood up and glared at Chen Ze.

A light bet, you want Meng Yang's life?

They were loyal to Hua Lao before because they were grateful for the life-saving grace of the other party. Moreover, what is Hua Lao's identity, and what is his identity, Chen Ze?

How dare a brat who doesn't even have a military rank dare to speak up?

But before everyone's anger erupted, Li Quan'an was already standing between Chen Ze and the soldiers, his cold and stern eyes were full of threats.

Li Quanan was already exhausted when he was walking through the dense forest before. Fortunately, Chen Ze attached Wu Anguo's general star to him in time, which allowed him to support him until now. The brave general of the Three Kingdoms.

Compared to the anger of the crowd, Meng Yang, the person involved, was surprisingly calm. He didn't lose his temper on the spot like his usual violent temper, but endured the violent trembling of his body, and said word by word: "Then what if you lose?"

"I lost, and I'm at your disposal."

Chen Ze said lightly.

"At my disposal?"

Meng Yang stared at him and said, "Even if I cut off your head?"

"That's right, if I lose, my life will be yours, and I'll let you handle it!"

Chen Ze said in a calm voice, with a serious face.

Meng Yang was silent, and the group of outraged brothers behind him were also stunned.

Everyone is thinking about a question.

This kid, Chen Ze, is he so sure?

Except for Li Quan'an, all the people present had experienced battles, so they naturally knew that with their strength, even if the opponent had a large number of people, they must not be opponents.

Victory is certain.

But if you want to destroy the opponent completely, to the extent that you don't leave...the opponent is a cavalry!

impossible!

This is impossible!

Everyone was shaking their heads, and some even hoped that Meng Yang would accept the bet. After all, Meng Yang was not the only one who was unhappy with Chen Ze.

but……

They have suffered from Chen Ze.

Is that honest and honest Li Quanan standing in front of Chen Ze like a steel tower?

It was because they miscalculated Li Quanan's strength before that they suffered a big loss.

Who knows what kind of medicine this kid is selling in his stomach?

If you suffer a loss, you will be fooled once!

So everyone became entangled again, this seemingly easy bet, no matter how you look at it, it seems like a trap.

"Ha, ha ha ha ha!"

All of a sudden, Meng Yang laughed loudly, "What's the use of my life?"

"This kind of boring bet, don't bet!"

After all, he still chose to play it safe, and did not attack Chen Ze as aggressively as last time.

Chen Ze kept looking at him until Meng Yang laughed loudly and took three steps, then he shook his head slightly and sighed: "This is actually an opportunity."
