Chapter 579: The Liang army retreats
Under the light of the torches, Ning Ze's face caused confusion in Sima Fa.
If it was just Ning Ze who appeared, it might be possible to explain that the other party might not only prepare a person similar to him, but also deliberately scare himself in this way. But the four giant beasts beside Ning Ze fully proved that everything was true!
No matter how similar an ordinary person is to Ning Ze, it is impossible to make such a realistic giant beast, so there is only one explanation - the person in front of him is Ning Ze!
But how could he appear here? Obviously, he was in Wubao County, so he should be inseparable, and in the blink of an eye, he went to the Yanzhou Valley and appeared in front of him.
Could it be that he really cultivated to become an immortal, and he could come in an instant from thousands of miles away?
Not only Sima Fa was frightened, but his army was also frightened, especially the four giant beasts that were dancing their teeth and claws in the darkness, constantly emitting a terrifying roar.
"Wang Xiu!" Sima Fa, who reacted, still had a trace of suspicion. Maybe Ning Ze is really strong like a fairy, maybe it's just a trick to confuse the eyes. There are no wonders in the world, and maybe there are strange people who can do it. After all, people like Ning Ze have appeared, and there is a Xin Tieshan over there in Nancheng, and there are all kinds of "monsters" in the world. Thinking of this, he immediately ordered, "You bring a thousand soldiers and horses to investigate!"
"Whew!" Wang Xiu got the order, although he was also very scared in his heart, after all, Ning Ze appeared too strangely. Still following the order, he quickly rushed to Ning Ze with his troops and horses.
Seeing this, Ning Ze raised his hand to attack with fire, directly covering Wang Xiu's troops.
A roaring flame burned, illuminating the entire West Gate.
The scorching breath spread, and Wang Xiusuo led his troops to break through in panic in the flames, causing a lot of damage and being extremely embarrassed.
However, he was ruthless enough, he rushed out of the fire attack area, endured the pain of burns, and rushed towards Ning Ze with the rest of the soldiers and horses.
Ning Ze pointed his hand, and the strange-winged moa, iron-backed crocodile, ancient ant scorpion, and poisonous lizard dragon immediately moved to kill Wang Xiu's army.
At the same time, the defenders behind them followed the four giant beasts to charge and fight, and engaged in a fierce battle with each other.
Ning Ze stood behind, and the beast soldiers beside him did not move at all.
In battle, use the Divine Doctor's tactics to restore your army.
During the battle, more defenders emerged from the pit and joined the battle.
Wang Xiu obviously couldn't resist, so he quickly turned his horse's head and chose to retreat.
The defenders rushed over and pursued along the way.
Sima Fa hurriedly sent troops to meet Wang Xiu and block the defenders' offensive.
Wang Xiu returned to Sima Fa, his whole face was black, and there were blisters on several burns on his body, and he looked very embarrassed: "Military Master, that person is Ning Ze!"
After some temptation, Sima Fa also confirmed this: "General Wang, I didn't expect Ning Ze to come here from thousands of miles away, could it be that he really has magical powers? Pass on my general's order to withdraw immediately!"
The military order was delivered, and Sima Fa's army quickly withdrew.
During the retreat, the defenders pursued along the road, and the opponent was not chaotic at all, keeping the formation slowly retreating.
On the other side, Lu Yuan's soldiers and horses were attacked by the defenders on both sides and fell into a bitter battle.
Sima Fa sent a signal to ask for the retreat, and knowing that the night attack had failed, he decisively gave up the siege and led his troops to evacuate quickly.
After the war, Sima Fa's team lost 474 soldiers, and the general Wang Xiu was burned and needed treatment. Lu Yuan lost 4 generals and 1,033 soldiers in the fierce battle, which was quite tragic.
The defenders pursued for a while, each retreating into the city.
Sima Fa and Lu Yuan returned to the camp and told Ning Ze about it in person.
Lu Yuan was taken aback, unable to understand how the other party had arrived here.
"Ning Ze came thousands of miles away, it's really unexpected!" Sima Fa frowned, quite serious, "In this way, this person really has the ability to reach the sky!"
"Ning Ze is as powerful as Si, really like an immortal, how can he be an enemy?" Lu Yuan asked worriedly, "In case he flies directly to Miliang, Your Majesty will be in danger!"
"In my opinion, if Ning Ze had such ability, he would have done it a long time ago. Sima Fa said.
"But he did fly directly from the border of Wubao County to this side, thousands of miles away in an instant, didn't the military advisor see it with his own eyes?" Lu Yuan said, "From here to Miliang, it is much closer than to Wubao." Wouldn't it be easier for him to come here and fly to Miliang?"
The generals in the tent nodded one after another, and their faces were not good-looking.
Anyone who encounters this kind of opponent will lose confidence, no matter how powerful the soldier is, how can he beat the immortals?
Sima Fa pondered for a long time: "I can't figure it out either, but I can be sure." Of course, it is also necessary to consider other possibilities, and immediately send a message to inform the Queen Mother that the palace must be strengthened to ensure the safety of His Majesty. ”
"Whew!" the subordinate gave the order, and immediately went down to deliver the message.
"Ning Ze is here in person, how can we deal with it?" Lu Yuan asked.
"This person is really not easy to deal with," Sima Fa looked around at everyone after thinking carefully, "I just found out that there was no Ning Ze's subordinates among the enemy army. From beginning to end, he was a soldier of the valley county. If there are Ning Ze's subordinates, they will not let us evacuate easily, and may even kill all the way to our camp. In this way, only Ning Ze is the one who reinforces Xigu County!"
"Indeed!" Lu Yuan nodded when he heard this, thinking carefully about the previous battle, it was indeed the soldiers and horses of Xigu County, and there were no Chinese soldiers who appeared on the battlefield, "I didn't see any Chinese troops at the South Gate. But Ning Ze is scheming, will he deliberately mislead us?"
Sima Fa shook his head affirmatively: "No! I have fought with Ning Ze many times, and if he seizes the opportunity, I will definitely not let it go easily." There are really subordinates of the Chinese army here, and there is no need to bluff. From this point of view, the enemy reinforcements are only Ning Ze alone!"
"But the military advisor, even if there is only Ning Ze alone, he can come from Wubao County in an instant, he can cast spells to summon the sea of fire, like a real immortal, I'm afraid it will be difficult to match!" Lu Yuan said, "I haven't been so difficult to fight with him before, but my cultivation has never stopped, and his spells are getting stronger and stronger." ”
The faces of all the soldiers are not good-looking, if there is a normal war, no one is afraid, and it is not a problem for them to fight hard. Everyone is the elite of the Liang Kingdom, and those who survived the battlefield are not afraid of death at all. The problem is that in the face of an opponent like a fairy, it is not a question of whether you are afraid of death or not. It's whether it's necessary to die in front of him, because in the end, it may be pointless to fight for your life.
Sima Fa closed his eyes and thought, no one dared to disturb him.
The main tent was silent, and everyone could only hear their own heartbeats.
After a long while, Sima Fa finally opened his eyes and looked around at everyone: "I can understand everyone's feelings, such an opponent is indeed too terrifying. However, even the most formidable opponents have weaknesses, even the gods. There are also many immortals who have been calculated by mortals in legends, indicating that they are not invincible. As long as you find the corresponding weakness, you will win. Ning Ze may not be an immortal, how can a real immortal covet the power and wealth of the world?"
"What did the military advisor think of?" Lu Yuan hurriedly asked, "How can I defeat Ning Ze?"
"We still know too little about Ning Ze," Sima Fa replied, "and it's a bit difficult to talk about defeating him. I have an idea, maybe I can take Canyon County!"
"Is the military advisor sure that he will take Xigu County from Ning Ze?" Lu Yuan asked in surprise.
"Whether it will succeed or not, you can only know if you have tried!" Sima Fa ordered, "The whole army will pull out the village and temporarily retreat thirty kilometers away from Xigu County." It's time to take the killer trick out! If you arrange it carefully, you may be able to achieve miraculous results!"
Sima Fa's army retreated overnight, and Ning Ze could see it clearly through the virtual map.
Obviously, the other party was frightened by his appearance and did not dare to take the initiative to attack in a short time.
However, Sima Fa is not simple, and there will definitely be other countermeasures, which should not be underestimated.
Successfully repelling the enemy army, Xu Jun's admiration for Ning Ze rose sharply.
After this battle, the previous wariness against him almost disappeared, and his mentality changed quickly.
"Lord Wang, Sima Fa's army is defeated and retreated, why don't you lead your troops to pursue? I may be able to take Sima Fa and Lu Yuan. These two people are Lu Jing's greatest support, and once they are captured, the entire Liang Kingdom will belong to us. ”
Ning Ze replied with a smile: "Although Sima Fa's night attack strategy was broken, his army retreated slowly and in an orderly manner. If the army in the city is a lonely army, it is naturally fearless. It's just that your soldiers and horses are not strong enough, and it is not beneficial to force a pursuit. ”
Xu Jun couldn't refute it when he heard this, although he was very confident in the soldiers he trained, and compared it with Ning Ze's army, he knew in his heart that the gap was huge: "Although the enemy army is repelled, should the defense be strengthened, so as not to prevent the other party from going and returning?"
"Don't worry!" Ning Ze said, pointing to the dark night outside the city, "Sima Fa's army has retreated for dozens of miles, and it is unlikely that it will return in a short time. ”
"How did the prince know?" Glancing at the dark night in the distance, Xu Junxin said that Sima Fajun was not gone, and he couldn't see it here!
"Alone can know!" Ning Ze didn't bother to explain, "But it's always good to strengthen the garrison, who knows what will happen next?"
"Now that the enemy has withdrawn, can we send troops to recapture Wuqing and Chicheng?" asked Xu Jun on the side.
"Don't be in a hurry! Although the enemy army has withdrawn, its strength is still very strong. It will not be easy to launch a counteroffensive in your current state. Only by holding your breath can you win. Ning Ze said with a smile, "With this time, the general might as well train more troops to boost morale." ”
"That's true. Xu Jun felt that there was some reason, and immediately nodded and replied, "Since the enemy army will not return, the prince might as well return to the post station to rest." The last general will send men to consolidate the defense and ensure security. ”
"Okay!" Ning Ze turned around and walked a few steps before stopping, turned back to Xu Jun and said, "By the way, General Xu, I want to ask you for a little favor!"
"What does the prince command?"
"Lone needs a large number of livestock, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, mules, donkeys or something, if there are live beasts, tomorrow the whole city can bring livestock to the post station, Lone buys at a high price!"
"The prince needs these, why do you need to buy them?" Xu Jun hurriedly said, "You defend the city for us, the soldiers and civilians in the city are grateful, take as much as you need!"
"Don't!" Ning Ze waved his hand, "The people's life is not easy, how can they take people's property for nothing? ”
"The prince is merciful!
