The military situation of Tong County soon spread to Ning Ze's side, and he was surprised to learn that Chen Tai was captured, Chu Xun temporarily took over Tong County, and Chu Meiren was preparing to send troops to attack Jiyang.

Among them, the ones who care most about are Chen Tai and Ouyang Chun, one can make such a big fuss, and the other can quickly calm down such a situation, it is not simple. If you can't leave right now, I really want to see what the attributes are in person.

Chu Xun was able to temporarily take over Tong County, which also made him unimaginable. After all, how can people with such an exclusive attitude be convinced?

However, there are Chumei people in the rear, and it seems that there is no problem, and he can conquer Hanzhou with peace of mind.

In Gaoli County, it's a different story.

Originally, I heard that Lu Cong made a move, which made Chen Tai rebel, and they all thought that Ning Ze would definitely retreat.

Who would have expected that the rebellion would be suppressed so quickly and would not affect the overall situation at all.

On the other side, the Yuanzhou soldiers and horses suffered a big loss in front of Dewey, and there was no way to come to support.

Zheng Mian was flustered and hurriedly asked how to deal with it.

The strategist Cheng Sun said: "Don't worry, my lord! Gaoli City has solid walls and plenty of grain and grass. Our army only needs to hold on to the city and wait for the situation outside to change before making plans. Zhou Xuan and Lu Cong will not let Ning Ze sit big and become a threat to them. Moreover, when Ning Ze came, the army of 50,000 has doubled, and now it has doubled, plus countless miscellaneous soldiers with the army, people eat horses and chew, and the consumption of military food has increased dramatically, so he can't fight for a long time. As long as it continues to be consumed, the other side will definitely withdraw its troops!"

"If the other party forcibly attacks the city, how can you resist it?" asked Zheng Mian.

"Our army is strong enough to hold out for a month, the lord doesn't have to worry!"

Zheng Mian was reluctantly relieved, and ordered the whole army to hold on, and no one was allowed to leave the city.

Ning Ze's side did have a sharp increase in troops, which led to the rapid consumption of military food.

Therefore, when he learned that the rear was safe, he immediately hurried around: "There is no major problem in the rear, you can attack with confidence! Tomorrow we will start the army and attack Gaoli County again!"

The next day, the Jinzhou army really reached the gate of Gaoli City.

The gates of the city were strictly guarded and unrelenting.

Pei Gong asked for his life and wanted to lead his troops to forcibly break the city.

Ning Ze said: "The Gaoli city wall is high and solid, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Forcibly break the city, the loss is too great!"

"What is the strategy of the military advisor?" asked Pei Gong.

Ning Ze pondered for a moment: "I ordered the whole army to dig up the mountain nearby, put it in a bag, and pile the soil in front of Gaoli City as a mountain." ”

So the whole army was dispatched, including the miscellaneous soldiers with the army, and they were mobilized to dig up the mountains and carry bags of soil outside the city, stacking them layer by layer.

The Jinzhou soldiers and the miscellaneous service of the army, more than 100,000 people were no joke, and soon a big mountain was piled up in front of Gaoli City with sand, which was a few points higher than the city wall.

But he couldn't stop it, Ning Ze calculated the shooting distance of the archers in the city, and knew that there were no catapults in the city, so he could only watch this mountain appear in front of him.

His subordinates hurriedly reported to Zheng Mian: "Ning Ze sent troops to dig up the earth and pile the mountain, and condescendingly checked the deployment of troops in our city! At the same time, we will not be able to fight back with ballista attacks!"

Zheng Mian was shocked: "How should this be?"

Cheng Sun frowned slightly, and after thinking carefully, he said: "Lord, you can send someone to build a wooden platform on the city wall to make it higher than the enemy army." First, it can prevent the other party from investigating the military situation, and second, it can also resist attacks. ”

Zheng Mian listened to Cheng Sun's strategy and ordered people to secretly strengthen the city wall while resting at night.

The next day, the Gaoli city wall grew a large section, higher than the mud hill outside.

When Ning Ze learned about it, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's a little interesting!"

So he ordered catapults and ballistas to be sent to the front of the battle and attack the wooden platform on the city.

After all, the wooden structure could not withstand the bombardment of boulders, and the high platform was smashed in many places, and the ballista was fired in turns, resulting in countless casualties.

Faced with this situation of being passively beaten, Zheng Mian was afraid, and said to the left and right: "The enemy army is attacking fiercely, how to defend the city?"

After thinking about it carefully, Cheng Sun said: "Lord, you can send a general to take a light horse out of the city, and attack and burn the local siege equipment at night!"

So Zheng Mian sent his general Deng Xiang to take 500 light cavalry, and quietly went out of the city in the middle of the night, preparing to burn the catapults and ballistas with fire oil.

It's just that before he got close to the Ningze military camp, Jinzhou soldiers and horses suddenly appeared on both sides, and Pei Gong, Ran Cao, Fan Sheng, Helianjin, Zhu Dai, Chai Ding, and Dai Yuan quickly surrounded Deng Xiang.

Deng Xiang led his troops to break through the siege unsuccessfully, and was captured alive by Pei Gongsheng, and most of the 500 light cavalry were lost, and the rest were surrendered.

Pei Gong took Deng Xiang to the main tent and pushed him to the ground.

Ning Ze sat in front and looked down at Deng Xiang: "Zheng Fu plotted against Chengzhou and brought about his own destruction! His son Zheng Mian took over Hanzhou without being canonized by the imperial court, and his name is not right. The general led 500 cavalry to attack our army's camp at night, and he was very brave, and it was a pity to die here! Good birds choose trees to perch on, good days choose the main thing, if the general wants to surrender, fame and fortune are not a problem!"

Deng Xiang thought about it, and finally bowed his head: "The last general is willing to surrender!"

Ning Ze personally stepped forward to untie the rope, took his hand and said with a smile: "Those who know the times are Junjie, welcome to join our army!"

After Deng Xiang surrendered, he suggested to Ning Ze: "If Ning Zhonglang can trust the last general, he can return the captured light cavalry." At the same time, fires were lit everywhere in the camp, and the last general returned to the city to falsely claim that the night attack had been victorious, and deceived the city gate open. When the time comes, Ning Zhonglang will lead the army straight into the city, and it will be decided in one fell swoop!"

"Okay!" Ning Ze patted Deng Xiang on the shoulder, "If this plan is successful, it will be a great achievement!"

So he ordered someone to return the light horse to Deng Xiang and let him return to Gaoli City.

Pei Gong was a little worried: "If this person deceives the military advisor, won't I be busy in vain?"

"Don't worry! Deng Xiang won't let me down. "The reason why he is so sure is because Ning Ze can see the attributes, and when Deng Xiang's camp transforms into Liu Yuanxiangjun, there is no need to worry.

Deng Xiang returned with his troops, and Ning Ze really ordered people to burn the fire around the barracks and fake the appearance of a successful fire plan. At the same time, he ordered Pei Gong to bring Ran Cao and others, and led the soldiers to follow quietly.

Coming to Gaoli City, Deng Xiang shouted loudly: "Open the city gate quickly!"

The city guards saw that the Jinzhou barracks were blazing, Deng Xiang went out with 500 light horses, and only came back less than half, thinking that the night attack was successful and the enemy equipment had been burned.

So he immediately opened the city gate and let Deng Xiang enter the city.

Deng Xiang led the light cavalry into the city and killed directly on the city wall.

The defenders of the city gate did not understand and had all been killed.

Deng Xiang seized the city gate and quickly signaled.

Pei Gong led a large army into the city.

When he woke up in his sleep, he learned that the soldiers and horses of Jinzhou had broken into the city, and Zheng Mian's face was like ashes.

Lin hurriedly took him and retreated to the south gate under the protection of civil and military officials.

Cheng Sun mobilized his troops and horses to meet the attack, but after the city was broken, the morale of the army was low, and it was the most tired time in the middle of the night, and the soldiers had no heart to fight.

The Hanzhou soldiers were defeated.

Seeing that he couldn't resist it, Cheng Sun resolutely evacuated and escorted Lin and Zheng Mian out of the city from the south gate and retreated to Feilu County.

During the escape, Lin accidentally fell off his horse and was trampled to death.

Cheng Sun forcibly took away Zheng Mian, who was crying continuously after losing his mother, and rushed all the way to evacuate urgently.

Ning Zejun, with the assistance of Deng Xiang, successfully occupied Gaoli County.

In this battle, 2,000 enemies were killed and 10,000 were captured.

Zheng Mian's officials Lu Shilong, Yuan Hao, Yuan Fei, Zeng Rong, Yu Yan, and Ding Xiang were captured.

Ning Ze posted a notice to reassure the people and quickly controlled the whole city.

The military rations in the city were too late to be transported away, and they were all obtained by Ning Ze.

The captured officials were brought to Ning Ze and tied up one by one.

Ding Xiang scolded when he saw Ning Ze, and scolded whatever was ugly.

Ning Ze was also decisive, and immediately gave an order: "Pull him out and cut him!"

Quickly pushed Ding Xiang out left and right and beheaded him.

This guy belongs to the die-hard elements, and his loyalty is off the charts, and there is no way to surrender.

Of course, the attribute is too bad is also a big reason, if the attribute is really good, Ning Ze may not be willing to give it up.

If the attribute is rotten and the mouth stinks, that is self-defeating.

killed Ding Xiang, and the remaining officials were silent.

Ning Ze asked, "Are you willing to surrender?"

Captured officer, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.

After a while, Lu Shilong spoke: "Xiaguan is willing to surrender!"

"Good!" Ning Ze immediately ordered to untie his rope and ordered good wine and food to be entertained. Then he looked at the others.

Seeing that Lu Shilong was treated with this after surrendering, and Ding Xiang was directly beheaded, in contrast, he also had a plan.

Yuan Hao, Yuan Fei, Zeng Rong, and Yu Yan hurriedly replied: "I'm willing to surrender!"

It's important to save your life!

Their families are all in Gaoli County, in case they annoy Ning Ze, it is acceptable for them to be beheaded, in case they harm their families, they are absolutely unwilling!

"Very good!" Ning Ze smiled, "Welcome to our army." ”

Ordered to untie the ropes, and entertain them with good wine and food.

Ning Ze asked Lu Shilong to temporarily replace Gao Li Taishou, Yuan Hao as the cavalry captain, Yuan Fei as the county commander, Yu Yan appointed the chief bookkeeper, Zeng Rong as the chief official, and the five surrendered officials were flattered.

"Now in Gaoli County, I want to continue to wave my army south to attack Feilu, do you have any suggestions?" Ning Ze asked.

Zeng Rong immediately said: "Ning Zhonglang, Yan Yong, the Taishou of Feilu County, has an old relationship with me, and I am willing to act as a lobbyist to persuade him to defect and arrest Zheng Mian and Cheng Sun!"

Ning Ze was overjoyed when he heard this: "If you can say that Yan Yong can be moved, I will remember your great achievements!"

So Zeng Rong hurried to Feilu County and pretended to flee back.

secretly saw Yan Yong and said to him: "If Zheng Yuanjun is here, there is still hope in Hanzhou! Now that Zheng Yuanjun is dead, his son Zheng Mian has no master. Although he is assisted by Cheng Sun, he is no match for Ning Ze. What's more, Liu Yuanxiang is the orthodox royal family, how can he resist the royal family with his subordinates?"

Yan Yong was moved by what he said, and immediately asked, "What should we do?"

"Now that Zheng Mian and Cheng Sun are in the city, they can be taken down and dedicated to Ning Ze!" Zeng Rong said, "This is a great achievement." ”

Yan Yong immediately summoned his cronies and ordered the arrest of Zheng Mian and Cheng Sun.

Unexpectedly, someone leaked the news, and Zheng Mian learned about it and asked Cheng Sun.

Cheng Sun said: "Yan Yong wants to rebel, you can't stay here for a long time!"

So he escaped from the West Gate with Zheng Mian and led his troops to flee to Yujun.

Yan Yong and Zeng Rong led the troops to chase after them, but failed to catch up.

Ning Ze learned that Feilu had surrendered, and immediately led the army to arrive.

Yan Yong and Zeng Rong visited Ning Ze and pleaded guilty in person: "We are not secret, causing Zheng Mian and Cheng Sun to escape, please punish Ning Zhonglang!"

Ning Ze smiled and helped the two of them up: "The two of you dedicated Feilu County is a great achievement! Zheng Mian and Cheng Sun are not afraid. Yan Taishou, Feilu County is still managed by you, don't let me down!"

Yan Yong was overjoyed: "Xia Guan is willing to die for Zhonglang!"
