Ma Jin fled back to Wubao County, and the civil and military officials saw that only 10,000 of the 40,000 army remained, and returned in a crushing defeat. The general Jiao Ping was also missing, and he was immediately panicked.

In such a situation, Ma Jin asked the hundred officials: "My brother drove the royal expedition and went to the border of Jiangzhou. Who would have expected that the Chinese army would appear from the sea and suddenly attack. The enemy army is fierce and difficult to resist, how is it good?"

The servant Zhao Tong came out and replied: "The general does not need to worry! Now that the news has spread to the border, if His Majesty knows about it, he will definitely bring troops back to help." Our city has strong walls and plenty of grain and grass, so we just need to hold on!"

"Ridiculous!" Ma Lian said, "There are 100,000 armor in the city, and there are a large number of soldiers, so naturally they will go out of the city to meet the enemy! If Your Majesty wants to come back to the rescue, will he not be laughed at by the people of the world?"

"The general is so brave, why did he return in defeat?" Zhao Tong asked.

The corners of Ma Lian's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart that if I led the troops, how could I lose so badly? But I couldn't expose Ma Jin's sore spot to my face, so he said: "The enemy army is cunning and has set up an ambush on the road. If our army is negligent for a moment, it will be defeated! If we engage the enemy around the city, we will surely win!"

"If you are defeated again, it will seriously affect the morale of the army!" Zhao Tong said, "Your Majesty will go on an expedition to Jiangzhou, and the good generals will follow you." The surprise attack of the Chinese army to take the port should not be underestimated! We have the responsibility of defending the territory, and we must not act impulsively!"

The civil and military officials were quickly divided into two camps, and the civil officials all sided with Zhao Tong, feeling that for the sake of safety, they should stick to the city and wait for rescue. The generals all felt that they had just been caught off guard by the other side before, but in fact, there were still 100,000 troops in the city, and how could the surrounding terrain be more familiar to the other party than their own? As long as they fought steadily, they would definitely be able to win.

The two sides argued endlessly, and could not discuss a proper plan.

On the other side, the Chinese army won a series of battles, advancing towards Wubao County, and it was about to arrive.

Wang Wei was a little worried: "Now that Wubao County is definitely heavily garrisoned, our army will not be able to take advantage of it when we go to attack." ”

Chu Wenxiu smiled and said: "In the previous battles, it can be seen that the enemy has left the officials and generals of Wubao County, and there are no outstanding people. The general can order someone to obtain the prisoner's armor, find a person similar to Jiao Ping, pretend to be his person, and lead the army to the city at night to pretend to be a defeated soldier and call the door. As long as the city gate is opened by deception, our army will be able to drive straight into and take the capital of Nancheng! If we can capture Ma Jian's wife and children and bring them back to Huajun, we will be able to break the alliance of the three puppet dynasties of Zhou, Liang, and Nancheng. ”

Wang Wei admires Chu Wenxiu quite a lot, although she is a woman, her attainments in the art of war are not inferior to men. In the entire territory of China, he can be regarded as the leading strategist.

So he used Chu Wenxiu's strategy to select one of the soldiers who was somewhat similar to Jiao Ping's height and appearance, and replaced them with armor and weapons pulled from Jiao Ping's body, and then selected two thousand elite soldiers to replace them with the armor and weapons of Nancheng's prisoners, disguised as the enemy's defeated soldiers.

He himself pretended to be a soldier and followed the soldier disguised as Jiao Ping, ostensibly this fake Jiao Ping gave orders, but in fact, Wang Wei personally commanded.

Huang Shao and Chu Wenxiu led the main army to follow, as long as Wang Wei deceived and opened the city gate, the army immediately pressed the border and entered Wubao County.

The army arrived near Wubao County and waited until night.

Fake Jiao Ping took the disguised defeated soldiers, pretended to be defeated and fled, and quickly arrived at the city.

When the city wall patrol heard the noise, they immediately became vigilant.

"Who?!"

"Are you blind?" Fake Jiao Ping scolded angrily, "Don't open the city gate yet!"

This tone made the defenders of the city slightly stunned, and they couldn't see clearly in the dark night, and it seemed that there were all their own soldiers and horses outside the city gate, holding the Jiaozi flag.

The leader of the generals was dressed as if he was the general Jiao Ping, and the others would not scold him in this tone.

After hearing about General Jiao's palace, he let the two generals evacuate safely, and then there was no news.

If it suddenly appears now, it will actually make people worry.

The city guard asked loudly: "At this very moment, don't dare to ignore it!

"General Ben is the proof!" Fake Jiao Ping shouted angrily, "I waited for the battle to the death to escape, and finally escaped back, and the Chinese army chased after me closely, and if I didn't open the door again, I wanted to force General Ben to death? When Your Majesty returns, will you still be alive? Open the city gate quickly!"

The defender of the city was frightened by the scolding of the fake Jiao Ping, a general of this status, he had only seen a few times from afar. It seems to be really similar to the impression of Jiao Ping, it shouldn't be fake, right?

Just as he was hesitating, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly appeared in the distance, and countless torches formed a fire dragon, which quickly came towards the county town.

Fake Jiao Ping pretended to be anxious and shouted loudly: "The enemy army has already chased over, why don't you open the city gate and let General Ben in?"

The city gate guards were frightened by the sudden appearance of the Chinese army, and in a panic, they hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened.

The Chinese army is still in the rear, and this must be Jiao Ping at the gate of the city.

General Jiao is strong in martial arts, and it is normal for him to withdraw safely after leading the troops.

The gatekeeper was tricked, and the gate was opened.

Fake Jiao Ping was overjoyed, and Wang Wei beside him asked him not to be exposed, and quickly ordered to enter the city.

This fake army soon entered Wubao County, and as soon as it entered the city, Wang Wei immediately ordered: "Seize the city gate quickly!"

Under his leadership, 2,000 soldiers immediately launched a surprise attack on the defenders of the city gate.

The defenders of the city gate did not react, thinking that their own general Jiao Ping returned with the defeated soldiers, but they did not expect the other party to suddenly attack after entering the city.

In the panic, he was at a loss and was beaten back.

The city gate guards were anxious when they found out that they had been deceived, and wanted to kill the fake Jiao Ping and eliminate these impostors. As a result, as soon as he rushed over, he was stabbed to death by Wang Wei, who came out of the side.

Wang Wei quickly led his troops to kill the defenders of the city gate and occupy this place.

The army outside arrived, Huang Shao led the troops into the city, and Chu Wenxiu stayed outside the city as a response.

After Huang Shao entered the city, he and Wang Wei quickly joined forces, killing the enemy all the way to the direction of the palace.

"Oh no!

"The Chinese army has entered the city!"

"Oh no! the city is broken!"

"Wubao County has been captured by the Huaguo!!"

"Ma Jin has escaped!"

......

The shouts one after another were actually not Nancheng soldiers, but the ones who disguised themselves as Nancheng soldiers and followed Wang Wei.

Wang Wei has been with Ning Ze for a long time, and he has also learned some methods.

This trick of spreading rumors and disintegrating the enemy's fighting consciousness was learned from Ning Ze.

The speed of fear spread very quickly, especially when the Chinese army did enter the city, and the unknown Nancheng army, many people shouted in panic and believed it.

More and more people shouted, and the fear spread faster and faster.

Nancheng's civilian and military generals, who were awakened, led troops to resist in a hurry.

Some of them saw through the rumors and immediately ordered to stop the spread of the rumors, and those who continued to shout without stopping the military order were beheaded on the spot.

It's a pity that it's too late! Wubao County was in chaos, most of the soldiers fell into panic, and in the darkness they didn't know how many enemies had entered the city, only to see that there were fires everywhere in the city, and there was chaos. There are many places where there is fighting, and the fighting is lively.

The most frightening thing is that the Chinese army is unstoppable and is constantly advancing towards the palace.

In the chaos, Ma Jin mobilized his troops and horses and demanded to defend the palace and not let the Chinese army attack it.

The military generals of Nancheng who stayed behind rushed to the palace to participate in the defensive battle.

The Chinese army, led by Wang Wei and Huang Shao, was unstoppable. Although there are many soldiers in Wubao County, when they learned that the other party had entered the city, they were already in chaos.

Chu Wenxiu was outside the city, letting the soldiers beat drums and shout, and the cavalry ran outside the city gates with straw men in the dark, using various means to deceive the other party, creating the illusion that there was still a large army outside the city, which further caused the fear of Nancheng's soldiers and horses.

In the chaotic situation, Ma Jian simply mobilized all his troops to guard the palace.

The palace is also in chaos, who would have thought that the Chinese army would come in?

Wang Wei and Huang Shao were attacking the gate of the palace, and the Chinese army was like a rainbow, in stark contrast to the Nancheng soldiers.

News kept coming from the front, the battle at the gate of the palace was fierce, and the other party was pressing forward step by step, which was very bad!

Even during the battle, several generals defected and surrendered, turning around to assist the Chinese army.

The bad news continued, and Ma Jin was completely panicked: "Brother Huang ordered me to guard the imperial city, and now the enemy army is about to come in." If the imperial city is lost, what face will you have to see the imperial brother?"

"General!" Zhao Tong said eagerly, "Our army is in turmoil, and I am afraid it will be difficult to resist." When the palace was built, the lower officials also participated in it. His Majesty intended to build a secret passage inside the palace to the outside of the city, in order to cope with such a situation! The enemy army came from the sea, and even if he took Wubao County, he would not be able to defend it, but would be surrounded by us. At this moment, it is better to abandon the imperial city for the time being and evacuate first! If the queen, the crown prince and all the maidens, princes, and princesses fall into the hands of the enemy, it will be quite unfavorable!"

"Yes, yes!" Ma Jin reacted, "Thank you for the reminder." ”

Immediately ordered to strengthen the defense at the gate of the palace and try to block the Chinese army. Then summoned hundreds of civil and military officials, escorted Ma Jian's queen, prince, concubine, prince and princess, and followed Zhao Tong to secretly leave from the secret passage.

After they fled, Wang Wei and Huang Shao finally broke through the gate of the palace and led their troops to kill them.

The last defensive force in the city collapsed, and the soldiers of Nancheng fled, and the surrender was surrendered, and there was no power to return to the sky.

Wang Wei immediately broke into the palace, wanting to take down Ma Jian's wife and children. It turned out that the palace was empty, and Ma Jian's family, as well as hundreds of civil and military officials, had disappeared without a trace, and they did not know where to go.

Quickly ordered to search everywhere, and found a secret passage.

Sent troops to chase after him, but the other party had already left.

failed to catch Ma Jian's wife and children, and the civil and military officials in the city also fled with their families, Wang Wei was quite annoyed. This is tantamount to fighting in vain, so he is ready to lead his troops to chase after him, and he will catch the other party wherever he flees.

Chu Wenxiu hurriedly persuaded him: "Our army is deep into the enemy's territory, don't be impulsive! Ma Jian will definitely lead the troops back to help, and at the same time order the surrounding counties to send troops to surround it. At that time, it will be a predicament, which will be unfavorable to our army! Although we have captured Wubao County, it is surrounded by enemy cities, which are difficult to defend. Although Ma Jian's wife and children fled, there are countless gold and silver treasures, military food and equipment in Wubao County, and hundreds of people. Just plunder, Ma Jian's vitality will be greatly damaged, why not do it? Intercept the resources and return to Jiangzhou temporarily, and wait for the opportunity to move at that time, the advantages are all on our side!"
