Chapter 445: Attack and Defense of the West Bank Pass
Ning Ze's side ended the battlefield and captured a large number of Nancheng generals.
Chu Wenxiu led the team to meet with Ning Ze, and brought Huang Shao and Zhong Jizhao to him to bow together: "Meet the prince!"
"No!" Ning Ze stretched out his hand to help, "Bai Tingwan and Yang Zhao have already fled to the west side. First join forces to arrest them, and then talk about them. ”
"Whoa!"
So the team gathered together and slaughtered towards the west bank.
When he arrived at the mouth of the west bank, he saw that the terrain was complicated, and the other party built by the sea, and laid out a formation, Chen Tai asked for orders to lead his troops to attack, and Ning Ze was allowed to do it.
Chen Tai's soldiers and horses killed the enemy camp and encountered fierce counterattack from the other side.
Due to the opponent's geographical advantage, Chen Tai's several attacks failed to achieve results, so he could only temporarily retreat and report to Ning Ze: "Your lord, the enemy army is proficient in the way of arranging formations and uses the terrain to entrench itself. The last general is incompetent and has not been able to take it!"
"It's okay!" Ning Ze waved his hand and said, "The other party has the risk of taking advantage of the land, supplemented by the formation, which is not easy to win." Our army is temporarily stationed nearby, and send people to bait it with the White Mirror Hall to lure them out of the camp to negotiate!"
The Chinese army was stationed near the mouth of the West Bank, and sent envoys to the vicinity of the other party's camp to call on the other side to discuss the matter of Baijingtang in person.
Unexpectedly, Yang Zhao ordered the archers to shoot off the messenger.
Bai Ting was anxious and asked Yang Zhao in person: "My brother unfortunately fell into the hands of the enemy, and he should be designed to rescue him and shoot off the messenger, what do you want?"
Yang Zhao replied: "General don't be anxious! If you are Ning Ze, since you have captured Brother Ling, and the troops have an advantage in encircling the west bank, it is necessary to take the initiative to negotiate peace?
Hearing this, Bai Tingwan thought about it carefully, and there was some truth: "But that's my brother after all!"
"Don't worry, general!" Yang Zhao said, "If Ning Ze wants to kill Brother Ling, why bother to capture him alive? We should ask the imperial court for help, and try to circle the enemy army and buy time." If you act impulsively, you will be calculated by Ning Ze!"
Although Bai Tingwan was worried about his brother, he felt that Yang Zhao was right. It is important to save people, and it is also important to ensure your own strength, so follow the advice and send a letter to the court to ask for help and inform you of the situation here.
The envoy returned to the camp and told Ning Ze that the other party was forced to retreat by shooting arrows directly, and there was no intention of negotiation.
Ning Ze said: "I actually saw through Lone's strategy, it's a little smart!"
"Lord Wang, that Yang Zhao is unusual, and his wisdom and strategy are still above the lower officials!" Chu Wenxiu is rarely convinced, she says so, which shows that Yang Zhao is indeed powerful.
Ning Ze nodded slightly, in the face of his own surprise attack, without knowing the comparison of the advantages of the two sides' forces, he was able to decisively withdraw from the battlefield to find a dangerous place to set up a defense, and he could see through his own deception plan, which was indeed extraordinary!
It seems that this Yang Zhao's intelligence is at least on par with Ouyang Chun and Sima Fa.
Of course, the other side is also a stopgap measure.
After Bai Jingtang and Bai Tingwan's troops were defeated by themselves, even if they collected the defeated troops, counting the army of the Shi clan led by Yang Zhao, they could not be compared with their own army at all.
Your own troops and horses have a complete advantage, even if the opponent takes advantage of the geographical advantage and formation to hold on, as long as they launch a fierce attack, they can break it within a few days.
There is no need to even plan, directly break through head-on, and use your own magic medicine tactics to achieve miraculous results.
Originally, I wanted to save time and effort through strategy, but it was not easy to have a smart person like Yang Zhao on the other side.
Then drop ten times with one force and crush it with pure force!
Ning Ze ordered the whole army to bury the pot and cook, eat and drink enough to rest for a while, and fight again after recuperating in spirit.
Bai Tingwan was condescending in his own camp, and when he saw the Chinese army acting like this, he hurriedly said to Yang Zhao: "The enemy army is burying the pot and cooking, I am afraid that after recovering its strength, it will launch a fierce attack on our army!"
"It's expected!" Yang Zhao nodded, "Our army just hold on and try our best to resist." How long can it last, how long can it last, and if it can't hold on, it will be evacuated from the waterway. ”
Nancheng's army also buried the pot and began to prepare, knowing that there would be another tough battle soon, and it would last for many days.
When resting, Ning Ze specially ordered someone to bring the White Mirror Hall with all kinds of flowers tied up in front of him.
Hakugammon has a high level of loyalty, reaching 87 points.
Ning Ze tried to solicit in person: "General Bai Yunwen Yunwu, he has learned well, why should he succumb to the puppet dynasty?
Bai Jingtang snorted coldly when he heard this: "I am the general of Nancheng, how can I surrender? Not to mention serving a woman, I will be laughed at by the world!"
Sure enough, persuasion was useless, and loyalty did not see him fall.
Obviously, Ning Ze can't reach Liu Yuanxiang's level, and there is no way to reduce the loyalty of the target through persuasion like her.
Or continue to persuade: "Those who know the times are the best ones! The reunification of the world by China is a foregone conclusion, and no one can stop it! Ma Jian will be defeated sooner or later, and the general will not be able to see it clearly?"
"Hmph! Now that the situation is great, the destiny of heaven has not yet been decided!" Bai Jingtang said, "Until the last moment, it is not yet known who belongs to the country!"
"The general is so stubborn, I'm afraid I will regret it in the future!"
"Since Bai has chosen the road, he will never regret it!" Bai Jingtang said, "Don't talk nonsense, kill if you want to kill, and never surrender!"
"Okay, there's a kind!" Ning Ze clapped his hands and stood up, "Lone will not kill you, Lone will let you live to see that the path you have chosen is wrong! ”
The subordinates immediately took the White Mirror Hall away.
The Chinese army was well fed and drunk, rested, and launched an offensive on the west bank under the leadership of Ning Ze.
Bai Tingwan and Yang Zhao lined up accordingly, and the two sides fought fiercely.
The battle lasted until dusk, with losses on both sides and fatigue on both sides.
Ning Ze used the divine doctor to recover the wounded soldiers and withdrew to the camp for the time being.
Because of the golden finger, the real loss of the Chinese army in a whole day was only thirty or forty soldiers, and the other side had no way to recover the wounded, and after counting, it lost nearly 2,000 soldiers.
The difference in the proportion of battle losses was too great, which caused great psychological pressure on the Nancheng army.
If the fight continues like this, the Nancheng army will be wiped out in less than three days, and the Huaguo side will lose at most a hundred people.
What could be more demoralizing?
That night, Bai Tingwan said to Yang Zhao: "Our army occupies a favorable position, and it has ended up in this situation by using the formation. Now the generals are low in fighting spirit and lack of morale, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on to it if they come a few more times!"
Yang Zhao thought about it carefully and said to Bai Tingwan: "I was born in Loushan and knows the local climate. Tomorrow there may be fog, but you can prepare for a sneak attack while the situation is in place! I may be able to save Brother Ling!"
"Will tomorrow's fruit fog?" Bai Tingwan didn't believe it, "How sure are you?"
"At least eighty percent or more!"
So he ordered to go down, and the Nancheng army rested overnight to regain its strength.
In the early morning of the next day, it was surrounded by fog.
So Bai Tingwan and Yang Zhao mobilized their soldiers to take advantage of the fog to go out and launch a surprise attack on Ningze's camp.
In order not to be discovered, the whole army banned torches, lined up in a neat queue as a benchmark for the front and rear comrades, and quietly marched.
When I arrived at the Ningze camp, I saw that the torches inside were bright.
Bai Tingwan gave an order, and Nancheng's army quickly stepped forward, and the archers shot indiscriminately.
After several rounds of firing, the two led their troops to the camp, and when they reached the entrance, they found it empty.
"What's going on?people?" Bai Tingwan's eyes widened.
"Oops, it's a trick!" Yang Zhao reacted quickly and hurriedly shouted, "Retreat!"
Bai Tingwan didn't think about it, so he turned around and ran after Yang Zhao.
A large number of torches suddenly appeared around, and fire flickered in the dense fog on both sides. Immediately after that, arrows rained down, and the Nancheng army suffered countless casualties.
Yang Zhao and Bai Tingwan ran fast enough to avoid a difficulty, and did not become a ghost under the arrow.
After fleeing back to the camp to count, it was found that his side had lost nearly 1,000 soldiers.
did not take advantage of a little advantage, but suffered a big loss, Bai Tingwan was very dissatisfied: "Yesterday you said it soundly, saying that you could save my brother." As a result, they turned against the enemy's tactics and suffered heavy losses!"
Yang Zhao replied: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers! Obviously, Ning Ze can also watch the stars at night and deduce the weather, so it is expected that our army will take advantage of the fog to attack, so he set up an ambush!"
"Nonsense! Everyone in the world knows that Ning Ze is proficient in spells, how can he not know the celestial phenomena?" Bai Tingwan said angrily.
"The general knows, why didn't he say anything to remind him yesterday?"
"Didn't you swear that you would succeed?"
"I'm talking about it below!"
"You ......"
Seeing that he was about to quarrel, Yang Zhao hurriedly changed the topic: "Ning Ze is not easy to deal with, we must work together! If our side is in chaos, it will be even more difficult to resist! The current plan is to stick to the West Bank Pass and wait for news from the imperial court!"
"Today is another defeat, how can you stop Ning Ze?" Bai Tingwan was more pessimistic.
"It's a time to be able to block it!" Yang Zhao replied, "I really can't stop it, there is still a way out." ”
What else could Bai Tingwan say? Originally, his own side did not have an advantage, but if he engaged in civil strife again, he would not be able to stop Ning Ze, so he forcibly held back the unhappiness in his heart and set up a formation with Yang Zhao to hold on.
Ning Ze actually didn't know that Yang Zhao would take advantage of the fog to carry out a sneak attack as soon as possible, but he had a golden finger and was highly vigilant on the battlefield, and he usually woke up at three o'clock in the morning. I just saw the movement of the enemy army through the virtual map.
No matter how thick the fog is, the virtual map can still clearly show the movement of red dots representing enemy troops.
Knowing that Yang Zhao was going to take advantage of the fog to launch a surprise attack, while admiring it in his heart, he mobilized his troops in advance and directly emptied all the guards near the camp gate, and the army ambushed the rear and sides of the camp, forming a triangle.
Nancheng's army came over and shot indiscriminately, but there was no one, and they did not dare to break into the camp with a big grin, but they were defeated by the ambushes on both sides and fled.
If the Nancheng army dared to enter the camp, it would be even worse, and they would be directly blocked at the entrance and surrounded in the camp.
It is also thanks to Yang Zhao and Bai Tingwan that they escaped quickly, otherwise they would be killed by random arrows in the fog, and they would be called unjust!
Ning Ze was not in a hurry to launch a counterattack, and after killing the enemy army, he determined through the virtual map that the opponent fled back to the west bank without stopping, and first ordered the whole army to return to build a meal, eat and drink enough.
When the fog cleared, the whole army went out to launch another onslaught at the mouth of the west bank.
Yang Zhao and Bai Tingwan also recovered their strength and held on to the dangerous ground to counterattack.
The two sides fought fiercely for another day, and the Chinese army lost 18 people, and the Nancheng army suffered more than 2,300 casualties.
The situation is unfavorable to Nancheng's army, with Ning Ze, a super "wet nurse", the battle losses on Huaguo's side are too small and almost negligible.
Not only is there a constant disparity in troops, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, but it's also a trouble in terms of morale!
The morale of the Chinese army is strong, but Nancheng's side is constantly declining.
