Sent someone to inquire about Ning Zejun's intelligence, and learned that the other party had retreated to the vicinity of Helan County, and Lu Yuan summoned his subordinates to discuss a strategy to break the enemy.

The previous night attack was caught off guard by Ning Ze's "demon art", which led to a big defeat, and this time we must be cautious.

Strategist Zhang Chao said: "Ning Ze's demon skills are powerful, and it is not a false rumor. I heard that the blood of chickens and dogs can break the demon law, especially the rooster and black dog. ”

Lu Yuan immediately ordered, found the blood of the rooster and the black dog, and asked the soldiers to smear it on their faces and bodies, and leave some of them for later use, and splash them when they saw the demon magic.

The scouts inquired about Lu Yuan's army and sent the information back to the barracks.

Ning Ze got the information and laughed: "Since Lu Yuan thinks that this thing is useful, Lone will fulfill him!"

So they assigned tasks on the spot and prepared their own.

The next day, Ning Zejun took the initiative to attack and went to the Lu Yuan barracks to invite battle.

Lu Yuan led the troops out to greet him, and saw Ning Ze scattering flames in front of the army, and at the same time summoning fierce tigers and roaring in front of the formation.

Lu Yuan's soldiers and horses were frightened and at a loss.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan hurriedly ordered: "Break the Demon Method!"

The subordinates immediately took the blood of the rooster and the black dog and splashed it vigorously.

Ning Ze pretended to be frightened, quickly retracted the tiger, stopped summoning flames, turned the horse's head and retreated backwards.

Lu Yuan was overjoyed when he saw this: "Ning Ze's demon law has been broken, don't be afraid! Pass my general's order, the whole army will move forward and take Ning Ze!"

The army rushed directly to kill it, and Ning Zejun hurriedly retreated, looking quite flustered.

Lu Yuan led the troops to chase all the way, seeing that he caught up with Ning Ze's soldiers and horses, the other party suddenly changed the front army to the rear army, and the rear army changed to the front army, quickly changed the formation, and at the same time shot a strong crossbow continuously, and at the same time the ambush on the right side was killed.

In the face of the dense rain of arrows and the sudden ambush, Lu Yuan's army had no time to retreat, and a large number of soldiers moved to the left.

"Boom, boom, boom......" exploded in an instant, the sound was like thunder, and the earth shook.

The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and Lu Yuan was shocked.

Obviously broke the Ning Ze Demon Law, how could this be?

Ning Ze's army launched a fierce attack, and Lu Yuan took the lead and fought desperately, but in the end he couldn't resist and had no choice but to withdraw.

He couldn't figure it out, he obviously broke the other party's demon law, what went wrong?

Continuously defeated in the hands of Ning Ze, Lu Yuan was in chaos.

Since the general is not an opponent, it is better to defend without fighting, and when the governor and the hussar general break through the south, Ning Ze will be chaotic, but he can take advantage of the victory to march." ”

Lu Yuan followed Zhang Chao's suggestion, retreated ten miles and set up camp, assuming a defensive posture.

The hussar general Zhou Hao led his troops to attack Bashui County, and Chen Tai held on to the city and did not come out.

Zhou Hao ordered a strong attack, and the two armies clashed at the city gates.

Attacking and defending several times, there were casualties on each other.

It's just that Bashui County is as stable as Mount Tai, no matter how Zhou Hao performs, he can never find a flaw and falls into a stalemate.

On the other side, Sima Fa marched into Longshou County, and Ouyang Chun received Ning Ze's order to quickly come and sit in the city to lay out.

When Sima Fa's army arrived, Liang Teng was about to fight.

Ouyang Chun persuaded: "Sima Fa is very human, and his people are full of wisdom and scheming, and it is difficult to deal with. Zai Xia was ordered to rush here, just to drag the other party, so that Hou Ye could defeat Lu Yuan as soon as possible and go south to besiege. ”

Dewey said: "You and I join forces, why are you afraid of Sima Fa? Everything has to be done by my brother himself, what is the use of me?"

Troops were immediately requested.

In the face of Ouyang Chun and Dewey's different views, one demanded to hold on, the other asked to send troops, and Liang Teng, as a key third party, hesitated.

Dewey saw Liang Teng privately and said to him: "The general and his brother started from Huajun and assisted the lord in the eastern and western wars, and everyone is called a hero. How can you make the general so frightened?"

So Liang Teng and Dewey raised troops at the same time, ignoring Ouyang Chun's advice, and went out of the city to meet Sima Fa.

The two armies fought, and Sima Fa showed that the enemy was weak, and deceived Liang Teng and Dewey into rushing forward, but they fell into the trap.

Liang Teng and Dewey were defeated and returned, losing their troops and losing their generals.

Sima Fa took advantage of the situation to pursue, but fortunately, Ouyang Chun then answered and brought the two back to the city safely.

Liang Teng and Dewey regretted it, so they followed Ouyang Chun's advice and stayed in the city.

Sima Fa besieged the city for ten days and failed to attack, so he temporarily retreated.

The next day, Dewey received a message from the flying pigeon, saying that Bashui County was under the strong attack of the hussar general Zhou Hao and was in danger. Chen Tai couldn't resist it and urgently asked for help.

Dewey was shocked, his wife's family was in Bashui County, and if the city fell, it would be a big trouble!

hurriedly discussed with Liang Teng, and then personally led his troops out of the city to the north to support Bashui County.

Ouyang Chun learned of this, Dewey had already left the city, and hurriedly found Liang Teng to inquire about the situation.

Liang Teng took out the flying pigeon biography he got from Dewey and handed it to Ouyang Chun for review.

Ouyang Chun observed carefully, and then said hurriedly: "This must be Sima Fa's plan, General Du is in danger!"

It turned out that the content of the flying pigeon biography was not encrypted, but it was just a normal document. Dewey was too flustered to think about it, probably thinking that the situation in Bashui County was also urgent, so it was too late to encrypt.

Liang Teng was shocked and hurriedly asked Ouyang Chun how to deal with it.

Ouyang Chun said: "If General Du fails, I am afraid that the overall situation will be ruined! With the strength of you and me, it is difficult to stop Sima Fa." General Du is the righteous brother of Hou Ye, and he is also related to the Taishou of Bashui County, and he was used by Sima Fa, and the consequences are unimaginable! If Sima Fa deceives General Du, he will definitely set up an ambush, and we need to save him!"

So Liang Teng followed Ouyang Chun out of the city with his troops and hurriedly chased after Dewey.

Quickly and successfully caught up, Dewey saw the two of them chasing after him, and after meeting, he asked suspiciously: "Why are the two generals chasing?"

Liang Teng told Ouyang Chun's guess and told Dewey that the flying pigeon biography was forged.

Just when Dewey was angry with Sima Fa because he had been deceived, Ouyang Chun suddenly exclaimed: "Oops, I've been tricked!"

The two chased Dewey all the way to this side, and there was nothing unusual on the way, and there was no ambush appearing.

If Sima Fa had intended to be Dewey, he would have taken action at this moment.

Could it be that he guessed that the other party intended Dewey and deliberately took advantage of the situation? If his target was not Sima Fa, wouldn't it be a diversion of the tiger from the mountain?

Ouyang Chun hurriedly asked Liang Teng, Dewey and himself to lead the troops back to the city.

As a result, the soldiers and horses rushed to the outside of the city gate, and saw that the banners above had been changed, and Sima Fa's army had captured the city, and the formation was accordingly.

Dewey felt that his mistake had led to the seizure of the city, and led his troops to attack the city gates, hoping to recapture it.

Liang Teng and Ouyang Chun led troops to assist, but were forced back by Sima Fa several times.

In desperation, Ouyang Chun persuaded: "The city has been lost, the army food is all in the city, and the army can't fight for a long time without food." Xizhou didn't know that Longshou County was lost, and I was afraid that it was designed by Sima Fa. For today's plan, we can only go south to Qingshan County immediately to prevent Sima Fa from seizing the city!"

Liang Teng and Dewey immediately followed Ouyang Chun, and the three of them led the army to rush south.

When he arrived at Qingshan County, he found that Sima Fa's flank had come one step earlier, disguised as the soldiers and horses of Longshou County, and deceived the city gate and seized the city.

Qingshan Taishou Zhang Yang led his troops to withdraw to Liao County and urgently sent envoys for help.

The three of them were shocked, and hurriedly rushed south to Liao County to join Zhang Yang to discuss how to recapture Qingshan and Longshou County.

It's just that before he can gain a firm foothold, Sima Fa's army has already arrived, approaching Liao County.

The news reached Bashui County, and learned that Longshou and Qingshan counties were captured by Sima Fa, and Bashui County Taishou Xia Xun was worried about his son-in-law, so he hurriedly asked Chen Tai to send reinforcements to assist Dewey.

Chen Tai refused on the spot and said to him: "Zhou Hao's army is eyeing him, and we need to be cautious." There is Ouyang Junshi in the south, and he will be able to stop the loss in time. ”

Chen Tai did not agree to send troops to help, and Xia Xun had no choice.

Ning Ze learned that Longshou and Qingshan Second County were captured by Sima Fa's design, and couldn't help but sigh: "This person is really powerful!"

"Master Hou, if Sima Fa can't be stopped by Xizhou, how can it be good?" Song Gao asked worriedly, "Once Xizhou is lost, Jiangzhou, Yuanzhou, and Liangzhou are all in danger!"

"The last general is willing to lead his troops south to aid Xizhou!" Wang Wei clenched his fists and begged for his life.

"Our mission is to defeat Lu Yuan, and if we divide our troops to the south, we will fall into Sima Fa's plan. Ning Ze said, "Now it seems that if you want to defeat Sima Fa, you must go out alone." ”

"Master Hou is going to go south in person?" Song Gao asked.

"No!" Ning Ze shook his head, "It's too late to go south now." When the orphan arrives, the situation will be even more severe. ”

"What should I do?" Ding Mu asked worriedly.

Ning Ze thought about it carefully and looked around at everyone: "If you want to relieve the siege of Xizhou, you can only surround Wei to save Zhao!"

"Wai Wei to save Zhao?" the generals looked confused.

"Tang Niu and Ma Jian will not send troops easily, unless Lu Cong and our army are both defeated. Ning Ze said, "It's not practical to expect them to attack Lu Cong from the rear and force Sima Fa to retreat." For today's plan, the only way to defeat Lu Yuan as soon as possible, take advantage of the victory to attack the two counties of Kamu and Miha, and go straight to Chizhou Dangliang. When grain is the foundation of Lu Cong, relatives and family members are here. As long as our army enters Chizhou, Lu Cong will definitely order Sima Fa to return to help in a panic. In this way, Sima Fa can be pulled in front of Lone and fight with Lone. At the same time, the pressure on Xizhou will be reduced, so that Ouyang Chun will have the opportunity to recapture the two counties of Qingshan and Longshou!"

"Hou Ye is wise!" Song Gao hurriedly said.

"It's just ......" Ding Mu was a little worried, "Although Lu Yuan has been defeated a few times, there are still more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and now he is sticking to the camp and refusing to fight, and he is eager to break it." What's more, this person's martial arts are outstanding, even if he really fights, it is unlikely that he will be able to break it quickly!"

"It's true that the opponent adopts a stick-to-hold strategy, and it is difficult to break through quickly with conventional tactics. Ning Ze said, "In such a situation, you can only throw money! Take out the explosive crossbow arrows and fight hard, until Lu Yuan is frightened and the whole army is defeated! In this way, the enemy city will also lose fear, which is conducive to our army's rapid attack!"

Ning Ze spent a lot of money and spent half a year hoarding explosive crossbow arrows just to cope with this situation.

When Ning Ze's army pushed forward and marched towards Lu Yuan's camp, Lu Yuan got the information and immediately led his troops to guard.

In his opinion, even if Ning Ze is proficient in demon arts, his own hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses will stick to this place, as long as the other party can't attack it, it can be dragged on.

Ning Zejun arrived, and Lu Yuan ordered the whole army to go on the defensive.

Ning Ze mobilized the crossbowmen to step forward and aim far away.

At such a distance, even the accuracy of the strong crossbow is not enough, at most it will shoot randomly. Lu Yuan was not worried.

However, the next moment, when countless crossbow arrows came towards him, the camp suddenly exploded in all directions, and the flames soared into the sky, and an expression of disbelief appeared on Lu Yuan's face.

Why do you use sorcery again? and it's even more terrifying!!

This is also too bullying!!
