Chapter 465: Crucible Mountain Air Raid
d
After taking the Nanjing Pass and getting the two generals Guo Wei and Dong Han, Ning Ze was quite satisfied.
Even if they were forced to surrender, their loyalty was outrageously low.
After capturing the level, ask the two generals for information.
Guo Wei informed that on the way to Gu'an County, two other generals, Xiao Qi and Kong Lan, led troops to ambush in the vicinity of Crucible Mountain.
These two generals are both literate and martial, and they cooperate seamlessly, which is not easy to deal with.
However, Xiao Qi and Kong Lan had a good relationship with Guo Wei and Dong Han, and Guo Wei expressed his willingness to persuade and try to win over the other party to change camps and join Ning Ze's command.
Ning Ze heard this, but he directly refused.
Judging from Guo Wei's expression, he was not completely sure to persuade the other party, but just had the idea of giving it a try, which may not be successful.
But Guo Wei's own loyalty is outrageously low, and the generals who are finally in his hands will lose a lot if he doesn't convince Xiao Qi and Kong Lan, but is pulled back by the other party in the persuasion!
He doesn't do loss-making business, he has to make sure that Guo Wei and Dong Han try not to contact enemy units, with such a low loyalty, it is easy to be rebelled by a few words and return to the enemy camp.
So he let Guo Wei and Dong Han stay in the rear army and stay with Ding Mu, and he and Dewey led the front army to move towards the vicinity of Crucible Mountain.
Along the way, he still avoided enemy scouts until the virtual map showed the ambush area of Xiao Qi and Kong Lan's soldiers and horses.
There is a narrow mountain road next to the crucible mountain, and the opponent's soldiers and horses are ambushed with the cliffs on both sides of the mountain road, I am afraid that they have already prepared to roll stones, and once Ning Ze's soldiers and horses move forward, they will be attacked by traps.
Moreover, the front of the mountain road must be blocked by them, and it is extremely difficult to get out after entering, if there is another fire, the losses of Ning Ze's army are unimaginable.
The person who designed the trap is really powerful, and if it weren't for the virtual map showing the location of the enemy army, he would have regretted crashing into it.
There's only one passage here, and there's no other way. If you want to go to Xingtai County, you must pass through this mountain road, and the cliffs on both sides are towering, there is no road up the mountain here, it is estimated that the mountain road is on the other side, and it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Ambush everywhere conforms to the art of war, and it is not easy to use it flexibly.
Ning Ze ordered the whole army to stop temporarily, and ordered the rear miscellaneous team to take out the hot air balloon and quickly assemble it: "Virtuous brother!"
"What do you command, brother?" said Dewey, and immediately stepped forward.
"The enemy has set up ambushes on both sides of the crucible hill, and it is difficult to pass. Lone wants to take a hot air balloon ride in person, break the ambush from the air, and open up the main road. Ning Ze handed Ma Chanpei to him, "This girl is temporarily protected by you, and she must be guaranteed to be safe!"
"Brother don't worry!" Dewey swore that "with the little brother here, no one can hurt a single hair of his niece and daughter-in-law!"
"Hmm!" Ning Ze still trusted Dewey very much, and with his force, it was more than enough to protect Ma Chanpei.
Ma Chanpei was obviously not willing to let Dewey protect herself, and only Ning Ze made her feel safe along the way, so she pulled Ning Ze's clothes with her little hands and stared at him with those big eyes that seemed to be talking.
"Girl, don't be afraid!" Ning Ze reached out and gently stroked her little head, "I'll be back soon." β
Under Ning Ze's appeasement, Ma Chanpei was obedient and let go.
Ning Ze turned to Ding Mu: "General Ding!"
"The last general!" Ding Mu stepped forward.
"After a while, the cliff tops on both sides of the crucible mountain were on fire, and the enemy army was in chaos, so you led your troops into the mountain road and crossed directly through the past. Once the mountain road is broken, it will be stationed in the rear to intercept the fleeing enemy army. If you can capture Xiao Qi and Kong Lan alive, you will be credited with a great achievement!"
"Obey!" Ding Mu clenched his fists and received the order.
Ning Ze turned to Guo Wei and Dong Han again: "I bother the two generals to sit in the rear and answer at any time." β
Guo Wei and Dong Han glanced at each other, and said that they would respond at any time, but they were worried that we would defect and cause damage to the plan, so they stayed in the rear. But it is also understandable that if the two of them really lead their troops to rush into battle, when they meet Xiao Qi and Kong Lan, if they have the opportunity, they will definitely join them and try to escape back to Xingtai County.
Ning Ze directly cut off the opportunity for them to defect, and stayed in the rear with Dewey leading troops to monitor, and the surrendered soldiers and horses were also disrupted and controlled by the Chinese army, and they couldn't do the opposite.
The two had heard of hot air balloons, which were often used on the battlefield by the Chinese army, and they were always surprised. It's really shocking to see the real thing today.
I saw Ning Ze take Ning Yong and a few other guards to the hot air balloon, as the flames ignited, the sphere gradually expanded into a circle, and the huge "ark" with Ning Ze and others slowly rose into the air, and it really flew up.
Flying for the people of this dynasty, only the gods can do it.
I have long heard that Ning Ze is like a fairy, and the battle of Nanjing Pass was part of my experience before, but now I am even more shocked to see him lead people into the air.
Guo Wei and Dong Han saw it with their own eyes, and they didn't dare to turn back in their hearts.
Ning Ze flew into the air in a hot air balloon, and the guards operated the direction of the flames, so that the hot air controlled the sphere and moved towards the top of the crucible mountain.
Xiao Qi and Kong Lan were ambushed on the cliffs on both sides of the crucible mountain, waiting for Ning Ze's army to appear on the mountain road, ready to be wiped out.
The top of the cliff is piled up with countless rolling stones and trees prepared in advance, and there is even a large amount of tung oil, and even the preparation for the fire attack is sufficient.
It's a pity that they can't wait for Ning Ze's army to enter the trap, because Ning Ze's hot air balloon slowly rises into the air and gradually flies over Crucible Mountain.
"General, what's that?!" everyone's attention was on the bottom of the cliff, waiting for Jing Ze's army. One person unintentionally looked up, just in time to see a hot air balloon flying slowly in the sky.
The hot air balloon flew very high, and from their position, it was actually very small, and it was exactly in the direction of the sun, and the sun was dazzling, so it was not real.
"What kind of bird is that?" said someone who saw only one black dot in the sunlight, and wondered, "It flies so slowly." β
"Strange, I always don't feel like a bird!"
"I can't see clearly, the sun is too dazzling!"
......
Everyone talked and looked up at the sky.
Xiao Qi was in this area, and when he heard the movement, he also looked up to observe, and he couldn't see it really.
At this moment, the hot air balloon slowly grew larger, and it turned out that after arriving over the crucible mountain, Ning Ze ordered the guards to control the balloon to descend as close to the top of the cliff as possible.
In order to unleash a fire attack from the air and break the enemy ambush, he must enter the stunt release distance.
As the hot air balloon descends downward, it begins to grow larger and larger in the eyes of the other party, gradually blocking out the sun.
When the hot air balloon landed to a certain extent, the people below could already see the overall appearance of the balloon with the naked eye, and even Ning Ze and the others on the hot air balloon also fell into the eyes of the other party.
The most important thing is that as the hot air balloon blocked out the dazzling sunlight, they happened to see Ning Ze who was shrouded in light.
For a moment, everyone was stunned, including Xiao Qi.
Not only Xiao Qi, but Kong Lan and his troops at the top of another cliff also saw the hot air balloon that appeared in the airspace, and their eyes widened, revealing incredible expressions.
"Immortals?!"
"Is it an immortal?"
"Immortals have descended from the sky?"
"It must be an immortal, right? Or it will fly down from the sky?"
......
All the Xingtai soldiers talked about it and looked extremely excited.
It's just that Xiao Qi had a frightened look on his face, because he remembered important military information. What appeared in the air was probably a hot air balloon that Huaguo had appeared on many battlefields and made great achievements.
Since the hot air balloon appeared here, and Ning Ze's army is said to be about to arrive, the gorgeously dressed person on it is probably him!
No one told him that Ning Ze didn't take the mountain road when he went here, but chose to fly over directly!
It's just a little puzzled, there are only a few people on the hot air balloon, and there are no thousands of troops. Even if the other side launches a surprise attack, with nearly 10,000 horses on their own side, and the opposing face Lan troops as a response, what does the enemy want to do?
During the period of thinking, Ning Ze took action as the answer.
When he successfully entered the cast range, he aimed at the area of the opponent's rolling stone and even tung oil, and directly used fire attack.
Good guys! The fire attack stunt is already terrifying, igniting the tung oil, making the fire even bigger.
In addition, the strong wind at the top of the cliff made the flames more lethal, quickly enveloping Xiao Qi's troops, and in an instant, the sea of fire was surging, and wails were everywhere.
"The immortal is angry! The immortal is angry!!" In the sea of fire, countless Xingtai soldiers shouted in fear and fled in all directions, where can they care about the ambush?
Xiao Qi was outside the sea of fire, and the whole person was stunned.
This fire appeared suddenly, without warning, and in an instant it was a terrible sea, red and red, harvesting its own troops.
Seeing it, there was no way to stop it.
Looking up at the sky, it was obvious that Ning Ze on the hot air balloon cast a spell, causing such a situation.
The rumors are all true!
This is the real spell!
In the midst of a sea of fire, their troops had no power to fight back, so they could only flee desperately, no matter how their own commander shouted, the soldiers ran down the mountain on their own in order to survive.
Even if there are thousands of troops, how to confront this kind of character?
Just a spell made his own army frightened, and he had no desire to fight, and he was full of confidence before, thinking that he could take Ning Ze down in one fell swoop through an ambush, but now he knows that he is too naΓ―ve!
Xiao Qi was extremely frightened, and he didn't care about the ambush plan, so he avoided the sea of fire and fled desperately down the mountain with the soldiers.
In fact, it wasn't his luck that Ning Ze released a fire attack stunt to avoid the opponent's main general, so as not to burn him to death.
A terrifying sea of fire appeared on the top of the cliff here, and the whole army fled in confusion, which made the opposite face Lan frightened, and shouted loudly for Xiao Qi, wanting to ask what was going on. But there is a considerable distance, and there are wails everywhere in the sea of fire, which cannot be conveyed at all, and I don't know where Xiao Qi is.
At this moment, the hot air balloon turned around and flew towards Kong Lan. Ning Ze also unleashed a fire attack to cover his army.
Kong Lan now knew why the sea of fire on the other side was born, and why they screamed so miserably.
He was bolder than Xiao Qi and ordered the archers around him to launch a counterattack and try to shoot at the hot air balloon.
It's just that the hot air balloon is at a safe altitude, and the arrows can't fly at all, and it is in vain to shoot a few waves.
The sea of fire spread with the wind, and more and more Xingtai soldiers were burned to death, Kong Lan also showed a look of horror, and quickly gathered the soldiers, avoided the sea of fire and tried to escape down the mountain.
