Outside the barracks of the Fanjun army was defeated by the last attack, the soldiers patrolling were extremely vigilant, and the people entering and leaving the barracks were also extremely cautious.

Master Lai begged several times, but the sentries refused to let him go, and asked them to pass on the message to Zacuo, and said that they were discussing military affairs and asked him to wait.

Whether he can get rid of control and get an opportunity, success or failure is in this move, Master Lai gritted his teeth and decided not to spend time with the sentinel, although his cultivation is not high, it is not difficult to rush into the barracks under the noses of mortal sentinels.

As soon as he rushed in, the sentry immediately fired arrows to warn him, and before he reached the door of Zacuo's big tent, he had been caught by several strangers in Fanbang.

"I want to see the end god! I have important information! If you get the information, you will win......" Master Lai struggled wildly, but those strangers were all first-class cultivators in Fanbang, and he couldn't break free.

The noisy sound alarmed Zha Cuo, and when he came out of the tent to see this scene, he waved them to let Master Lai go, and asked.

Master Lai immediately knelt down, "I have a military deployment map of the border city!" ”

Zacuo raised his eyebrows and sneered, obviously not believing it, "Come on, tie up this little demon who lured our army into the ambush circle, and throw it to the camp gate to show the public!" Let those scheming Central Plains people in the French Dynasty see that this seat is not so easy to deceive! ”

Don't believe it? Old Master Lai was like being hit by five thunders, standing stiffly in place, and no longer struggled when he came to drag him.

Two hours later, the spies sent by Fanbang reported that the border city was empty in defense, and only the north and east gates were more stable.

The defenders of the north gate were the men and horses brought by Zheng Tianba from the capital, the defenders of the east gate were the men and horses brought by Fan Dingyao from Qiongzhou, and the west gate and the south gate were the people who were originally stationed in the border city.

Due to several personnel transfers and two defeats, the defenders of the West Gate and the South Gate were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and Metaha and Lu Laizun did not know how to lead the army, so the military discipline was loose and morale was low.

Fan Dingyao is a handsome talent who can write and martial arts, but he is new to the city, and there are many things that he is not familiar with, and there are many obstacles when transferring troops.

Zheng Tianba is very brave, but he is only brave, it is okay to fight alone, but it is not good to be in charge of the overall situation.

The spies also reported that there was a good chance of winning a frontal attack on the border city, and that the plan was to steal information about the defense map, which would surely enable the army to win a complete victory in a single battle.

Because the news from his own spies was more consistent with the map presented by Master Lai, both of which were weak in defense in the south and west, Zacuo couldn't help but believe in that map.

It is very difficult to steal relevant information, how can Master Lai easily get the drawings directly? Zacuo also suspected that this was a trap deliberately set by Hu Xianxian.

Zha Cuo asked people to probe again, and this time he mainly wanted to find out what the other party's generals were doing.

On the morning of the second day of the lunar month, Zha Cuo received a report that Fan Dingyao was busy with military affairs and beat drums at the city gate, and then gave an impassioned speech to boost morale.

And Zheng Tianba kept drinking heavily while training soldiers, often getting drunk, and when he was drunk, he said that if he drank enough wine, it would be worth dying......

Lu Laizun rode a horse and ran around the city, saying that it was to patrol the defense, but it was better to ride the horse for fun.

Hu Xianxian and Mai Taha nested in Ning Cui Yuan every day, and repeated experiments to improve the Flying Immortals that day.

Based on these circumstances, Zacuo decided that the defense of the border city was indeed weak, but why were the French generals still very leisurely?

When Zacuo was puzzled, the old man Lai had recovered from the blow of distrust, and shouted that there was more important information to Zacuo in addition to the defense map.

"What other intelligence could be more important than the deployment map of the two armies? Are you addicted to lying to me? Zhatso was amused by him, and was curious to see what tricks he was going to play.

"The border city is like an empty city, it doesn't matter whether you defend it or not! The same must be true of the information you have found yourself! But I know what they have set up in other places, and what their trump card is......" Master Lai spoke very quickly at first, and then swallowed his saliva and stopped talking.

Zacuo also secretly guessed that Hu Xianxian had made other arrangements outside the military city defense, and after hesitating, he released Master Lai and took him to the tent to discuss in detail.

Master Lai said that guarding the border city was just a pretense, and as long as the seventh day of the lunar month passed, so that the bold words released by Zha Cuo could not be realized, the French army would withdraw to the southeast suburb of the city by the Ningcui Lake.

There are arrangements made by Cheng Haofeng on the shore of Ningcui Lake and Ningcui Garden, and they want to use those arrangements to start a real battle with Zacuo.

Moreover, Hu Xianxian and Metaha mainly focused on improving the Flying Immortals outside the sky, wanting to completely defeat Zacuo by relying on the tricks of the Heavenly Surprise Soldiers.

"In other words, they are defending the city just to save face, afraid that I will capture the border city before the seventh day of the lunar month and give it to the immortals as a gift?" Zacuo smiled and rubbed his chin, "If I really capture the border city, it will definitely demoralize the French army to the extreme." Well, even if the border city is almost empty, it is worth taking. ”

Master Lai smiled flatteringly and said, "The last god is clever! Moreover, after capturing the border city, our army can consolidate its defenses, hold the city, and as long as it does not pursue, it will not fall into the trap they set on the shore of Ningcui Lake. ”

Step by step, slowly advancing, Zha Cuo seemed to have seen the process of victory - after being fully prepared, he completely defeated the border army led by Fan Dingyao, and then marched to the Central Plains to capture the entire French Dynasty.

On the second day of the lunar month, Fan Dingyao received an order from the DPRK and the central government, asking him to handle military affairs with full authority and giving him the right to make decisions on the spot.

With support and assistance, Fan Dingyao's confidence has greatly increased, he wants to win the battle, and he also wants to capture Amujia alive and escort him into Beijing, so that Amujia has repeatedly escaped the shame of blood.

In the idle clouds of the capital, he was irritable and restless, and once again pulled his hair, pulled his clothes, and begged with a bitter face: "Can't I go to save the last god?" I'm going crazy to stay in this room! Otherwise, I would be able to meditate quietly by myself, I don't want to listen to music, I don't want to watch dances, I don't want to eat any delicious food......"

They don't understand why Kutan sees what others see as enjoyment as torture, but they can see that he is really going crazy, and his eyes are sometimes empty and sometimes crazy.

"Then you can play chess with me." Cheng Haofeng hooked the corners of his lips, regardless of whether he agreed or not, waved his hand to dismiss the singers and dancers, and put out the chessboard.

Ku Tan thought that playing chess should always be a little quieter, and he didn't object, maybe he was subconsciously worried about the safety of the border city, so he laid out a lot of pieces in the northwest of the chessboard, almost enclosing the copper wall.

"The border city battle will be resolved quickly, the master doesn't have to worry, this is the place to prevent accidents at the moment!" Cheng Haofeng twisted the chess pieces and clicked in the southwest direction.

Ku Tan frowned and looked there, Cao Beidao muttered thoughtfully, "Could it be that there will be another beacon fire in Qiongzhou?" ”

"Don't leak it!" Cheng Haofeng is mysterious.

Ku Tan looked at him and asked, "What stage of cultivation are you at now?" ”

"I don't know." Cheng Haofeng's face suddenly became angry, "My cultivation is growing rapidly now, but I really don't know which stage it is." ”

Ku Tan didn't answer, looking down at the chess with some shame, and the others didn't understand what was wrong with them.

"If I do evil to the world, it is also thanks to you." Cheng Haofeng smiled ruthlessly, and then he was calm without any emotion.

He didn't really completely integrate the two doppelgangers of Buddhism and Taoism before, and the original Taoism and later exercises also conflicted, but after the love was exhausted, these problems were gone, and the skill improved so fast that even he couldn't imagine it.

It is a good thing to improve your strength, but the disadvantage is that there are fewer and fewer emotions of joy and sorrow, and there are more and more murderous intent and anger.

Even, he didn't worry about the battle of the border city at all, because he had calculated that he would win, so he believed that he would win, and he would not be as worried as before, even if he could predict the outcome.

On the third day of the lunar month, Zha Cuo attacked the border city in a big way, first storming the west gate.

The defenders of the West Gate were mainly under the command of Metaha, but when the city was sieged, Metaha was still in Ningcuiyuan and did not return, and the soldiers defending the city jumped around on the city tower like headless flies, and the army was boarded the city tower in less than a pillar of incense.

Capture the west gate, open the city gate and put the main force of the brigade into the city, only to meet very weak resistance, anyway, the border city is also a regular army, why is it so easy to lose?

Zha Cuo suspected that there was an ambush, so he asked the soldiers of the Fan army to guard the west gate first, and he took dozens of elite soldiers to personally investigate the rest of the border city.

He flew in the air and found that Zheng Tianba, who was guarding the north gate, was drunk and unconscious, Lu Laizun, who was guarding the south gate, was still playing with the soldiers, and only Fan Dingyao at the east gate was drinking tea and looking at the map.

Could it be that the French and Korean armies were really singing the "empty city plan" and gathered the main forces to the shore of Ningcui Lake?

When Zacuo thought about it, he couldn't help laughing, he wouldn't be suspicious and scared away, he would definitely occupy the border city tonight!

After occupying the city, no matter what arrangements Cheng Haofeng made in advance on the shore of Ningcui Lake, as long as he didn't step on the trap, when the promise of "besieging the city and celebrating his birthday" was realized, he would be able to kill Cheng Haofeng.

After Zacuo found out that the defense in the city was indeed empty, he led the army to the south gate, Lu Laizun fought hard or was defeated, and the French soldiers fled to the east gate.

Lu Laizun shouted orders to the soldiers not to escape, but no one listened to him, and in the end he himself was dragged to his horse by a loyal guard and forcibly led him away.

After the army arrived at the north gate, Zheng Tianba woke up from a drunken dream, and relied on the strong martial arts to make the tiger sword like a fierce tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, and killed more than a dozen soldiers of the Fan army one after another.

But no matter how strong he is, he only has one pair of hands and a knife, and he is drunk and hastily meets the enemy and has no time to deploy, and all his soldiers ran out of the city.

The morale of the army is high, as long as you take the east gate, you will completely occupy the border city!

However, suddenly a soldier came to report to Zacuo, and after Zheng Tianba rushed out of the city, he gave an order and closed the three gates of the west, south, and north!

Keeping the enemy in your own city? Is this an anti-encirclement or a surrender of territory?

The soldiers of the Fan army didn't have time to think about the answer to this question, and the soldiers of the French Dynasty shouted in unison: "Catch the turtle in the urn!" Close the door and hit the dog! Kill not a single soldier! ”

The sound shook the sky, as if the French army was surrounded in all directions, and the border city must be surrounded like an iron bucket, right?

The ordinary soldiers of the Fan army were frightened by their own guesses, and Zha Cuo and Yiren flew up in the air only to see that there were not many French soldiers surrounding the city, and they were running around the city on horses and dragging tree branches, shouting, just bluffing.

Zacuo breathed a long sigh of relief, and he was able to use the anti-package strategy only because the border city was in a special situation at this time, but this strategy could not defeat the Fan army.

Different from the regular city, the border city was originally a city with many merchants coming and going, and after the merchants were withdrawn, it was an empty city, and there was no concern about the enemy army slaughtering the people.

But what if you trap the army, it's not that you lost the city?

Zha Cuo immediately announced to the soldiers of Fanbang, so that they should not panic, and it was important to make every effort to capture the east gate guarded by Fan Dingyao.

The army quickly regrouped and marched majestically towards the east gate, and when they reached the east street close to the east gate, they suddenly heard a loud strange noise.

"Whirring ......" is the roar of the wind.

"Smack...... 呲呲呲...... 欻欻...... Bang bang bang ......" is the sound of hard objects hitting and sparks ignishing, as well as the sound of explosions.

Brown smoke rose up, and after a few small explosions, suddenly an explosion rang through the heavens and the earth!
