Chapter 214: Yiyang guards the crested ibis
With the smoke to drive away the hot air balloon, Yan Tao took the opportunity to leave from the West Gate with the people.
Out of the county seat, Chu Wenxiu suggested to Yan Tao: "The people of the county are walking with the army, and the goal is too big. Even if the other party is not aware of it, it is easy to be exposed. The people felt that Ning Ze was able to conquer the land of Jin, Han and Cheng, and it was definitely not very human. This person is also skilled in magic, and may have noticed it. It is better to divide the soldiers into multiple roads, all under the banner of county respect, and retreat. In this way, even if it is intercepted, it will be difficult for the other party to judge where the county is located, and there is a better chance of escaping to Boping!"
"This plan is wonderful!" Yan Tao looked at Chu Hong, "Sir, your niece is amazing!"
"Hey!" Chu Hong shook his head helplessly, "As a woman, I shouldn't have learned this." ”
"Okay! If it weren't for Miss Chu, it would be difficult to go to Boping!" Yan Tao said.
So they divided into five or six teams, each of which was assigned a thousand soldiers and horses, all under the banner of the county order, and each led the people to different roads.
Ning Ze led his troops to wait on the main road, and was surprised to see that the other party was scattered through the virtual map, each moving from different directions.
After a while, the scout reported that the soldiers of Duwu County were divided into six teams, all of them under the banner of the county order, and they all brought a large number of people, and they couldn't tell which was the home team, and they went to different roads.
Ning Ze could only see the soldier's information on the map, and he couldn't accurately get the general's information, so he couldn't figure out which team the opponent's main force was in and which team the smart man was.
The purpose of his trip is Yiyang City, and the division of troops to pursue may be able to block all the teams, after all, no team can escape the monitoring of the virtual map. The problem is that if you do that, you will delay it for a long time and delay the warplane.
In fact, this Duwu county soldier is not a necessary target for himself.
Even if you care about the smart person hidden in the other camp, and guess that this person's intelligence is at least 90 or more, he is a good civil official or strategist, but there is no need to influence the overall situation for one person.
No matter how smart the other party is, it is actually nothing in front of himself who has the system. Run, run, it's not a big deal, next time turn around and attack Bopin, and then pull him out to see if you can recruit him.
So a signal was sent to let Li Yuan lead his troops into Duwu County. The other party left in a hurry, and could only take away his belongings, and he must have left a lot of supplies that were too late to take away, just to enrich the arsenal.
At the same time, hold the main channel, in case it is the main force that comes, but take it directly.
It's just that after encountering it, I was quite disappointed, it turned out that the team of the main road was not the main force, but a small lieutenant under the command of Duwu County, with a thousand people, and a large number of people behind him.
Ning Zejun stopped the other party and directly surrounded him.
The enemy resisted for a while, and decisively abandoned his weapons and surrendered. The people knelt down and begged for mercy.
Ning Ze ordered the capture of 1,000 Duwu county soldiers, including 200 regular soldiers and 800 reserves. After it was absorbed, he persuaded these people to return to the city, bluntly saying that his soldiers and horses would not hurt the people.
Successfully occupied the county seat of Duwu, leaving only a small number of soldiers to garrison, and led the troops to Yiyang non-stop.
When the current Yiyang Taishou Crested Ibis learned of this, he hurriedly discussed with his subordinates to defend against the enemy.
The chief bookkeeper Xiahou Tian suggested: "It's better to set up an ambush in Fangshan outside the city, wait for Ning Ze's troops to arrive, block it with falling rocks, cut off its way forward, and then break it with fire!"
The crested ibis followed Xiahou's advice and led his troops to Fangshan to prepare and stationed on the top of the mountain to wait for the enemy.
Ning Ze came to the vicinity of Fangshan, suddenly ordered to stop, and at the same time sent someone to raise the hot air balloon, which carried a lot of carefully stored phosphorus powder jars.
The crested ibises were focused on the mountain path below, and the whole army hid in the dense trees, not paying attention to the air.
The news sent back by the scout was that Ning Ze had stopped temporarily near Fangshan, and he didn't know what was going on.
Although he didn't know the situation, Crested Ibis believed that Ning Ze would definitely continue to march and probably close to Yiyang, so he reorganized his troops and horses in advance and wanted to enter the battlefield in the best condition. So he ordered his subordinates to concentrate and pay close attention to the situation on the mountain road below.
As everyone knows, when the whole army paid attention to the mortal world, a hot air balloon flew overhead at some point, slowly approaching the ambush place.
When the shadow of the hot air balloon appeared, the crested ibis and his men realized that there was something overhead, as if it was not a cloud.
I couldn't see it clearly in front of the dense leaves, so I went to a relatively empty place to look up.
Just then, the soldiers in the hot air balloon began throwing cans of phosphorus powder down.
The crested ibis was startled, and although he didn't understand what was going on, he didn't want to be hit, so he immediately ordered to flee to the forest to hide. I wondered what was that strange ship flying in the air?
Fleeing into the woods is tantamount to killing yourself.
A phosphorus powder jar fell from the air, fell to the ground and shattered, and the phosphorus fire ignited in an instant.
When the flame met the dry branches and leaves, it burned quickly with a "whew", and the fire spread rapidly.
Frightened, the crested ibis led its soldiers to flee in a hurry, only to be quickly surrounded by fire and in a desperate situation.
Smoke billowed from the flames, causing them to lose their bearings. The entire forest became terrifying in the midst of the fire, and the scorching heat spread and black smoke billowed into the sky.
The hot air balloon completed its mission and turned around and returned to the camp, and Ning Zejun bypassed it from the other side, avoiding the mountain fire and moving towards Yiyang City.
The crested ibis is also a fortune teller, although nearly half of the soldiers and horses were lost in the raging mountain fire, they still managed to find a way out, escaped with the help of the stream, and successfully came to the bottom of the mountain.
It's just that he is already discouraged, but he doesn't dare to delay half a step, because Ning Ze's army has approached Yiyang City, and he must return to help as soon as possible.
The embarrassed crested ibis army galloped all the way and chased to the vicinity of Fang Valley, when suddenly gongs and drums sounded all around, and Ning Ze's soldiers and horses slaughtered from all directions and quickly surrounded them.
The soldiers and horses of the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and it was obvious that in the face of the floating army, the crested ibis soldiers had nothing to do. The opponent's armor can't be cut through the knife, and the gun can't be pierced, which makes people have a headache. However, the wooden structure is very light, and the flexible offensive makes it impossible for the crested ibis army to resist.
In desperation, the crested ibis saw Ning Ze watching the battle on horseback in the enemy camp, and the huge "Ning" flag on the other party's head marked his identity.
At this moment, there were only a few civil officials and strategists around Ning Ze, as well as one or two guards. If you can kill it and take it down, you may be able to reverse the disadvantage.
So the crested ibis clamped his legs, broke through all the way with a longitudinal horse and horizontal knife, and rushed directly to Ning Ze.
The surrounding soldiers tried their best to help, but he really broke through the formation, raised his big knife and shouted at Ning Ze: "The Yiyang crested ibis is here, Ning Ze will die quickly!"
"Arrogant!" Ning Yong heard this, and immediately rode his horse to meet the enemy.
The target of the crested ibis was Ning Ze, of course he didn't want to waste time with Ning Yong, so when the two horses were staggered, he leaned over to avoid Ning Yong's attack and galloped straight towards Ning Ze.
When Ning Yong saw this, he quickly turned his horse's head and roared angrily: "Brave bandits, come back and fight with me for three hundred rounds!"
The crested ibis didn't pay attention to it at all, raised his knife and rushed to Ning Ze, and shouted: "Ning Ze, take your life!"
Several strategists around Ning Ze were so frightened that they hurriedly turned their horses' heads and ran to the side, and another guard hurriedly rode forward to meet them.
The crested ibis crossed the knife to open the guard's attack, quickly passed by him, and came to Ning Ze in an instant, slashing out with all his strength.
This knife used all its strength, and when he thought that Ning Ze would definitely die, he was stunned to find that the other party did not dodge or dodge, and suddenly there was a heavy giant hammer in his hand.
"Keng!" The blade slashed at the top of the hammer, shocking the crested ibis's weapon and causing the tiger's mouth to instantly go numb.
"How so?" said the crested ibis.
"How many times have you said it, don't bully civil officials!" Ning Ze saw that he had good force and didn't want to kill him directly, so he picked up a giant hammer and smashed it on the head of the war horse under the crotch of the crested ibis.
The war horse fell to death in an instant, lifting its owner to the ground.
The crested ibis was completely confused and a little confused.
After all, in all the intelligence, Ning Ze is only a civilian official, I haven't heard that he has such a strong force!
I've heard that he can spell, so he should have summoned a giant hammer out of thin air just now.
Before falling, in order to avoid being pressed by the war horse's thighs, the crested ibis flexibly rolled in the air before landing, quickly left the war horse, held the handle of the knife against the ground, and stood firmly.
He is also experienced, and he slashed at the two front legs of the war horse under Ning Ze's crotch with a backhand.
Of course Ning Ze wouldn't let him get his way, Claw Huang Feidian was a famous horse, so he wouldn't be hurt by him. Therefore, it is directly included in the famous product column.
The war horse disappeared in an instant, and Ning Ze fell in front of the crested ibis.
The crested ibis was dumbfounded, and the big knife in his hand could not be withdrawn. When the blade was Ning Ze after all, the opponent's sledgehammer quickly swept, and with a "bell", the two weapons collided together.
Ning Ze didn't move at all, and the big knife in the crested ibis's hand flew out directly, and his hands were directly numb.
Later, Ning Yong and another guard arrived, jumped off the war horse one left and one right, and quickly grabbed the crested ibis's arms and firmly controlled him.
Ning Ze put away the Heavenly Star Hammer, walked in front of him with his hands behind his back, and smiled: "You are the Yiyang Taishou Crested Ibis?"
The crested ibis struggled hard, but found it useless, so he bowed his head and remained silent.

The attributes are good, at least for Ning Ze, who lacks talents, he is unwilling to miss such a general.
Seeing that he was silent, Ning Ze said, "Zhu Taishou is willing to surrender?"
The crested ibis still bowed its head and remained silent.
"What about you!" Ning Yong saw his attitude, and his hands were forced.
The crested ibis glared back at him and turned its head away.
"Don't be unreasonable!" Ning Ze said, "Let him go!"
"But......" Ning Yong was a little worried.
"I said, let him go!" Ning Ze ordered here.
"Whew!" Ning Yong and the guards let go of the crested ibis's hands.
The crested ibis was free, moved his hands, looked at Ning Ze and frowned, and said, "Using witchcraft to win, it's not glorious!"
"Really?" Ning Ze laughed, "What does Zhu Taishou mean, if I don't win with a spell, you will surrender?"
"This official didn't say it!" the crested ibis snorted coldly, "This official serves the Sun family, how can he descend to you?"
"Oh? It turns out that Zhu Taishou serves the Sun family. Ning Ze smiled, "Could it be that the Sun clan wants to rebel?"
"Nonsense!" said the crested ibis urgently.
"Since it is not a rebellion, shouldn't Zhu Taishou die for great success? Our lord Liu Yuanxiang is an orthodox royal family of Dacheng, and he will be complicit in rebellion against our army. ”
"Nonsense!" the crested ibis replied, "Although Princess Yuanxi is a royal family, Your Majesty can represent Dacheng!"
"Are you talking about that Your Majesty?" Ning Ze asked with a smile, "Lian Xuan or Emperor Hui?"
The crested ibis was speechless.
After all, the Sun family is with Zhou, and of course belongs to the Shun Emperor camp. But Emperor Shun is gone, Lian Zhen is a rebellion, and Emperor Hui is the opponent, and he was blocked by Ning Ze's words.
