Chapter 322: Repeated defeats
Late at night, Ning Ze led the generals and led 5,000 cavalry out quietly.
The man was titled, the horse picked up the bell, led the horse on foot without making a sound, and moved towards the Tang Niu camp under the cover of night.
When there were still six miles away, Ning Ze ordered the whole army to stop.
"Brother Ning, why are you stopping here?" asked Liang Teng in a low voice.
Through the virtual map, you can clearly see that the Tang Niu camp is heavily guarded in the direction of the checkpoint. Although he didn't know that Ning Zejun would come to attack at night, he was relatively cautious.
Ning Ze replied in a low voice: "There are many veterans in Tang Niu's army who are experienced. Although we did not know that we would attack the camp, we must lay defenses. Charge head-on, the opponent is already on guard, and will not be able to get miraculous results! The enemy's flank must be empty in defense, as long as you make a detour to attack it, you can win the battle in one battle!"
So the army quietly detoured, avoided the Tang Niu defensive formation, and turned to the right.
Ning Ze personally led the team, and all the soldiers turned over and followed him with the signal, launching a surprise attack from the side.
In the middle of the night, Tang Niu's army was resting, and only a few soldiers and horses patrolled.
Ning Zejun suddenly appeared, broke through the gate of the village and entered the camp, shooting rockets everywhere.
The camp was on fire everywhere, and Tang Niujun didn't know how many people there were, and it was chaotic.
Tang Niu and his generals were awakened while they were asleep, and in a panic, they put on their armor and ran out of the camp.
There was chaos in the camp, and Ning Ze's army set fire everywhere and attacked the defenders.
His generals gathered one after another, and Tang Niu hurriedly rode his war horse and led the generals to pacify his army and meet Ning Ze's army.
When the two lords met, the ghost in Tang Niu's hand pointed at Ning Ze, and he angrily reprimanded: "Treacherous!
"This is a war, it's normal for me to cheat!" Ning Ze replied, "It's too sincere, but you're going to suffer!"
Tang Niu was furious when he heard this, and directly rushed towards Ning Ze, raising his knife and slashing.
Ning Ze picked up the Celestial Star Hammer to face the battle, and the two main generals fought with the light of the fire.
Behind Tang Niu, Mei Xu rushed over with all the generals, Wang Wei, Liang Teng, and Wei Yi also led their generals to meet them, and the main forces of the two sides fought fiercely.
Ning Ze knew that he had to fight quickly, otherwise Tang Niu's army would recover from the chaos and be surrounded by all, and it would be himself who would suffer.
Therefore, he did not hide his selfishness and went all out to attack Tang Niu.
The two fought for more than ten rounds, and when Ning Ze and Tang Niu faced each other, they suddenly raised their hands to release phosphorus fire.
The flames went straight to the war horse under Tang Niu's crotch, hitting the horse's face.
The war horse was burned by the phosphorus fire, and fell forward with a scream, causing Tang Niu to lose his balance.
Ning Ze took the opportunity to smash it with a hammer, and saw that he hit Tang Niu.
"Keng!" At the critical moment, Mei Xu rushed over and raised his knife to block the attack, shouting: "Your Majesty is on the horse!!"
Tang Niu hurriedly jumped behind Mei Xu.
Mei Xu turned around decisively, retreated with Tang Niu's horse, and ordered the generals to break off.
Ning Ze ordered the soldiers to shout loudly: "Tang Niu is defeated!"
The soldiers on the other side saw Mei Xu retreating in a panic with Tang Niu, and they were already in chaos because of the night attack, and they were even more panicked at this moment.
The shouts of Ning Zejun's army were everywhere in the village, so that the opposing army knew that Tang Niu was defeated and fled, and completely lost the sense of resistance.
In addition, the soldiers of the palace were repelled by the generals led by Ning Ze, which further aggravated the rout of the Tang Niu army.
Under night, 80,000 soldiers and horses were defeated by 5,000 cavalry and retreated in a hurry.
Ning Ze's army won a complete victory, ordered Wei Yi to stay, and called out the soldiers in the pass to clean up the battlefield and seize the spoils. personally led the soldiers to pursue along the road, wanting to take down Tang Niu.
However, Tang Niu ran very fast, and with the help of 80,000 troops, he disappeared into the night.
Ning Ze's army pursued for a while and captured 6,000 enemy troops.
Tang Niu's army urgently retreated thirty miles and set up camp in Kangwu Mountain.
Ning Zejun escorted the prisoners back to Guannei.
was defeated by Ning Ze's army at night, and almost lost before the battle, Tang Niu couldn't hold his face, and said angrily to his subordinates: "Ning Ze betrayed his trust and led the troops to attack at night, which is really despicable!"
Mei Xu said: "Ning Ze is scheming and has no integrity! It is the negligence of the ministers who did not set up a defense. ”
"I don't blame you!" Tang Niu replied in a muffled voice, "Tell me to go down and quickly reorganize the soldiers and horses to boost morale." Tomorrow, I will attack the Guannai and take Ning Ze's head! This guy will only attack when people are tired, despicable and shameless!"
Tang Niu's army quickly reorganized and counted the battle losses.
Before dawn the next day, Tang Niu immediately led the army to advance to the border checkpoint, preparing to storm the checkpoint and save face.
When the army was halfway through, there was a sudden cannon fire in front, and Ning Ze led the army to meet him.
Seeing Ning Ze, Tang Niu was furious, rushed forward on his horse, and shouted: "Despicable villain, give me death!"
"Kill ——!!" Ning Ze picked up the Heavenly Star Hammer to meet Tang Niu, and gave a loud order, and the whole army charged.
Mei Xu and his generals immediately faced the battle, wanting to rush to the front to support Tang Niu.
The two armies clashed and fought fiercely.
Suddenly the gongs and drums around him, and the sound of killing suddenly rose.
Liang Teng and Wang Wei each led their troops to kill and surrounded Tang Niu's soldiers and horses from both sides.
"It's not good, it's an ambush!" Seeing this, Mei Xu tried his best to fight his way out, rushed to Tang Niu's side to help set up Ning Ze's sledgehammer, and shouted anxiously, "Your Majesty retreat quickly!"
Although Tang Niu is impulsive, he is not stupid.
Seeing that his army was heavily surrounded, the other party took advantage of the terrain to launch a long-range shot, and he would definitely suffer a loss if he fought, so he immediately turned his horse's head and retreated with Mei Xu.
Ning Ze led the army to chase and kill, and won another big victory.
Tang Niu's army suffered 3,000 casualties and more than 4,000 prisoners under the ambush.
In just two days, more than 10,000 soldiers were lost, and the Tang Niu army retreated to Kangwu Mountain in disarray.
For the arrogant Tang Niu, it is really difficult to accept continuous losses in the hands of Ning Ze.
Although he found that Ning Ze was very strong, he didn't feel that he was losing to the other party. The first few defeats, either the other party waited for work, or used witchcraft, which was too despicable.
Of course, he did not deny that Ning Ze was a super dangerous existence. Such an enemy must be eradicated as soon as possible so that peace of mind can be achieved.
So he convened the generals to discuss how to win back a game.
Mei Xu suggested: "According to the minister's opinion, Ning Ze will set up an ambush in front and wait for our army. The minister is willing to personally lead the troops to go and deceive the enemy. Your Majesty and the generals have set up an ambush in the rear, and when I attract the enemy, we will attack them in one fell swoop!"
The next day, Mei Xu really led his troops and set off and advanced along the main road to the Miha border.
Tang Niu led his troops to set up an ambush on the main road near Kangwu Mountain, and waited quietly.
Mei Xu walked all the way, very alert. I just walked dozens of miles forward, and I didn't see a single soldier.
Ning Zejun seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
This made him confused and couldn't figure it out.
It was too far ahead, and Mei Xu decided to turn around and go back and report to Tang Niu first.
When he returned, he suddenly heard the sound of killing, and hurried to the camp.
The camp was surrounded by the banners of the Ning Ze army, all over the mountains, and was fighting from both sides, fighting with the Tang Niu army.
It turned out that the other party had already made a detour and hid in the surrounding mountains. After Mei Xu led his troops away, Ning Ze, who had seen the layout of Tang Niu's army clearly through the virtual map, directly launched an accurate offensive against the Tang Niu's army in ambush.
Tang Niujun really couldn't understand how the other party could find out about how he hid it so well, and how he prepared in advance to launch a surprise attack.
In the face of the surprise attack, the Tang Niu army was in disarray.
Mei Xu hurriedly led the troops back, escorted Tang Niu out of the encirclement, urgently retreated forty miles away from Kangwu Mountain, and stationed near Wuquan Peak.
Counting the battle damage, more than 2,000 people were killed and wounded, and 3,000 were captured.
After successive defeats, the morale of the Tang Niu army was seriously affected.
Originally, he was going to lead a large army to attack the territory of Bozhou, but he didn't expect to be defeated by Ning Ze's army all the way and retreated.
When the opponent's soldiers and horses enter the territory of Chizhou, it will cause great pressure on their own side.
Tang Niu, who was extremely unwilling, asked Mei Xu: "Can the prime minister have a winning strategy? The Three Kingdoms Alliance will attack Ningze together, and our country will be ridiculed by others if it has a good plan! ”
Mei Xu thought about it carefully and came up with a plan: "Your Majesty, Ning Ze is scheming and difficult to deal with. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, if you can get the real-time military information of Ning Zejun, you will definitely be able to turn the situation around!"
"How do you get it?" Tang Niu hurriedly asked.
Mei Xu replied: "You can send a bold and careful person who is loyal to His Majesty, pretend to surrender, and blend into Ning Ze's army." As a detailed worker, the dynamics of Ning Zejun were transmitted back through the flying pigeon. In this way, our army will be able to grasp the enemy's dynamics and be invincible!"
Tang Niu frowned when he heard this: "Ning Ze's army is heavily garrisoned, and it is difficult for fine work to blend in. ”
Mei Xu replied: "It is naturally not easy to do ordinary fine work, and the military generals with a little status around Your Majesty will be valued if they take refuge in Ning Ze in the past! Ning Ze assists Princess Yuanxi Liu Yuanxiang, and the lack of talent is known to the world, and he will be happy to get it!"
"Who can take on this role?" Tang Niu hurriedly asked.
"General Jianwei Zhou Ya, witty and loyal to His Majesty, is up to this post!" replied Mei Xu.
"General Zhou?" Tang Niu immediately said, "Pass quickly!"
Not long after, Jianwei General Zhou Ya came to the tent and bowed respectfully: "See Your Majesty!"
"General Zhou, please get up!" Tang Niu sat on the main seat and helped him up. When Zhou Ya got up, he said to him, "Ning Ze is scheming, so it's not appropriate to deal with it." I want to send people to pretend to surrender, infiltrate the opponent's army to spy on intelligence, and defeat Ning Ze with internal and external cooperation. This person must be resourceful enough to be adaptable, and loyal to me without betrayal. After thinking about it, only General Zhou met the requirements. I wonder if the general has the courage to go to the enemy camp for me? This trip is full of dangers, and one careless person will lose his life. ”
When Zhou Ya heard this, he replied without hesitation: "The lower official is willing to share the worries for His Majesty!"
"Okay, good!" Tang Niu got up and stepped forward, pulled Zhou Ya and said, "General Zhou is worthy of being my minister!
"General Zhou!" Mei Xu reminded, "Ning Ze is very human, and it is not easy to deceive him. The trip must be done with caution and no flaws. ”
Zhou Ya saluted respectfully: "Prime Minister rest assured! The lower officials will definitely do their best to complete the entrustment! Just suddenly go to take refuge, Ning Ze will inevitably be suspicious." Please give the official whipping for the crime of contradicting His Majesty. If the lower official is injured and goes, Ning Ze will not be suspicious!"
"Bitter meat trick?" Mei Xu's eyes lit up, "Wonderful! wonderful~ It's just that General Zhou is suffering." ”
"If you can serve Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be happy to do so!" Zhou Ya replied.
