Zhang Haohan was ambushed with heavy troops in the city, so he waited for Ning Ze to plan and lead his troops in.

It's just that he didn't wait for Ning Ze, but saw the other party pushing a large number of transport carts that didn't know what to fill into the city gate and piling them together.

This made him feel puzzled, and asked Yang Pi beside him with his eyes.

Yang Pi was also at a loss, he didn't understand what this was, and signaled Zhang Haohan not to worry, and then look at the situation.

Through the virtual map, Ning Ze clearly saw the dense red dots behind the city gate, where the main forces of the enemy army were all ambushed.

Wait until all the gunpowder is delivered to the city gates, and then let the soldiers back away and shoot rockets inside.

Rockets entered through the city gates and fell on the car blazing. Once ignited, the gunpowder exploded violently.

"Boom, boom, boom......" The south gate of Chuancheng County was like an earthquake, and the sound was like thunder.

Almost the entire county could hear the movement.

The explosion caused the city wall to collapse, and the closest ambush soldiers were affected, with heavy casualties.

Zhang Haohan was directly stunned, and his head was buzzing.

Yang Pi and the others were also stupid, everything was contrary to the plan.

Ning Ze released a fireworks signal, and Dong Xing and Dong Xi immediately led troops to raid the east and west gates.

Zhang Haohan's main forces were all at the south gate, and he didn't expect this. Coupled with the violent explosion just now, it attracted other forces in the city, and the east and west gates were empty of defenses.

As a result, Dong Xing and Dong Xi easily occupied the two city gates and launched an offensive from the inside.

Knowing that Ning Ze's army entered the city from the east and west gates, he didn't know the number of troops at night, and the south gate was blown up in a daze, Zhang Haohan's side was extremely chaotic and powerless to resist.

The city gate of Nancheng collapsed, and the scene was too shocking to dare to defend here.

Yang Zhuang, Yang Pi, Tang Jun, and Wen Xun protected Zhang Haohan, led the troops to rush all the way, rushed to the north gate to urgently leave the city, and fled to Xifeng Mountain.

Ning Ze's army entered Chuancheng County, and all the rebellious troops who had no time to flee were controlled and recaptured the county seat.

Zhang Haohan fled to Xifeng Mountain, and after careful counting, he found that there were only 18,000 soldiers left, and there was not much food and grass, so he could only last for three days.

So he asked Ji Yang Pi how to deal with it.

Yang Pi said: "Xifeng Mountain is steep and the terrain is complex, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The mountains are full of wild beasts, lush trees, and lakes, and abundant resources. With just a few passes and soldiers to cut down trees and build houses, fish and hunt for food, they can hold out for months. Ning Ze's army ran out of food, and he would retreat. ”

Zhang Haohan followed Yang's strategy, took root on Xifeng Mountain, set up passes along the way, and defended tightly, allowing soldiers to cut down wood and build houses, hunt and fish.

Although there are relatively few resources in winter, there are wild beasts everywhere in Xifeng Mountain, and the lake has enough fish and shrimp to supply.

After recapturing Chuancheng County, he learned that Zhang Haohan had settled in Xifeng Mountain, and Ning Ze led his troops there.

On the way to the mountain, he was attacked by the rebels, and the opponent occupied the terrain advantage and used the rolling stones and trees to repel Ning Ze's troops several times.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Ning Ze temporarily retreated to the bottom of the mountain, and ordered Dong Xing and Dong Xi to lead troops and horses to surround Xifeng Mountain and trap the rebellious army here.

At the same time, he ordered Ning Yong to provoke every day and lure the rebels down the mountain.

It's just that Zhang Haohan listened to Yang Bi's suggestion, stuck to the peak, and no matter how he tempted, there was no response.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and Ning Ze knew that the other party was delaying time, and wanted to rely on the resources of Xifeng Mountain to survive until his own troops ran out of military food.

In the winter, food and grass were very tight, and the blizzard disaster in various states was really unable to withstand the consumption of a large amount of military rations for disaster relief.

The main reason is that the grain production in this era is too low, even if the harvest is limited, the crops are not hybridized, and the grain production depends on God's favor. There are also locust plagues, droughts, and floods, which are actually quite troublesome.

Ning Ze didn't know much about crop hybridization, so he knew that it needed to be manually pollinated and cultivated with different varieties. As for the specific method, it needs to be handed over to the people in the research department and let them study it carefully.

In the spring of the following year, this work will be assigned, and every effort will be made to produce hybrid crops. When the crop yield increases, the people will have more grain and more taxes, so that the treasury can be full. If there is enough food and grass, there will be no such situation.

Of course, that's what needs to be done later, and now we need to find a way to eliminate the rebel army on Xifeng Mountain.

The layout of the rebel army in Xifeng Mountain, Ning Ze understood it clearly through the virtual map.

But it is of little use, because the terrain of Xifeng Mountain is complex, and the mountain road is extremely steep. Even if you know the layout of the other party, you can't fight at all in the face of the defense of key intersections!

The most important thing on the mountain is wood and stone, as long as the troops are attacked, the rolling stones and wood will come to you, and the invulnerable Futu army will not be able to hold it.

Regardless of the front and back, the road to Xifeng Mountain is suffocating and difficult to walk, and it is guarded by chaotic troops.

The other party relies on the resources of the mountains, and can survive for months even in winter. If the spring resources are more abundant, you can even reclaim the land and cultivate it yourself, but it is even more troublesome.

Thinking about it, in the face of such a situation, it can only be broken from the back of the chaotic army. Let's look for books

Ning Ze ordered that soldiers from all walks of life go to the pass every day to shout and persuade the rebels to go down the mountain and surrender.

As long as you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, you can not blame the past. Those who want to go home can go home, and those who want to be soldiers continue to be soldiers, and they don't have to endure hardships in the mountains.

It works well.

Among the rioters instigated by Zhang Haohan, many are dissatisfied with the current situation.

Although the mountains are rich in resources, the winters are cold, and hunting and fishing are very hard. Although the wood is cut to build a house, how can there be the warmth of home?

Every day, I have to guard the pass in the bitter cold, and I am afraid.

The most important thing is that Xifeng Mountain is completely surrounded by Ning Ze's army, and it is difficult to fly.

The death of the three Shen brothers and Zhao Xiaoyang also put heavy pressure on everyone.

Therefore, there were successive cases of sneaking down the mountain and surrendering to Ning Zejun.

Zhang Haohan hurriedly ordered to strengthen the supervision of each team, and those who went down the mountain to surrender without authorization were directly beheaded on the charge of cholera soldiers.

Such a punishment frightened a large number of rioters, but many people still risked their lives to escape.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Haohan was a little flustered, and hurriedly asked Yang Pi how to deal with it.

Yang Bi thought about it carefully and felt that in this case, he could only hook them with interests. Therefore, it is recommended that Zhang Haohan proclaim himself king, and work hard to seal the officials from top to bottom, so that most of these chaotic people have officials, and promise to survive the winter and return to Chuancheng County, and seize more cities, and even seize the world in the future.

Anyway, you don't need money for bad checks, just write them out.

Not to mention, it's a useful trick.

Most of the rebels were given official titles, and they were confused by Zhang Haohan's extravagant words, and there were fewer and fewer people fleeing from Xifeng Mountain, and even took the initiative to monitor each other, but whenever there was a sign, the people next to them would stop it.

The chaotic army stabilized, and Ning Ze had another plan when he saw this.

He was quite clear about the layout of the rebellious army, Zhang Haohan, Yang Zhuang, Yang Pi, Tang Jun, and Wen Xun each guarded one place.

Therefore, he wrote a secret letter and ordered someone to shoot to Tang Jun's garrison by feints.

The subordinates found the secret letter tied to the arrow and handed it to Tang Jun.

Tang Jun opened the superstition and took a look, and said in the letter: "Lonely taste and smell the ranger Tang Jun is jealous and hateful, and he has great righteousness. Why were they deceived by others and raised an army to rebel? The two armies fought, and the people suffered. The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people, why not take the common people as the mind, stop fighting and rest the martial arts? Lone has always admired chivalrous people, and I hope that Your Excellency will consider it! If you can persuade all the chivalrous men to go down the mountain and surrender to sincerity, Lone can guarantee that everything will be reused regardless of the past!

After reading the secret letter, Tang Jun fell into deep thought.

I have to say that he was a little moved.

It's just that he is very hesitant, because Zhang Haohan has a deep affection for each brother, Shen Tie, Shen Tong, Shen Yin, and Zhao Xiaoyang were killed by Ning Zejun, and it is difficult to persuade him to go down the mountain and surrender. At the same time, the strength shown by Ning Ze made him worry in his heart. He just brought 5,000 soldiers and horses, and it was so difficult to deal with. The huge forces of the entire Huaguo really want to go all out to deal with their own side, it is quite terrifying!

After hesitating, he didn't say anything about MeLetter. Be prepared to think it through before making a decision.

However, Tang Jun didn't know that Ning Ze let the surrendered rebel army secretly "inform", so that Yang Zhuang could get this important military information, saying that Tang Jun was secretly in contact with Ning Ze and intended to betray.

When Yang Zhuang learned of this, he immediately led his subordinates to find Tang Jun and questioned him face to face.

Tang Jun was weak and didn't know how to respond.

Yang Zhuang ordered someone to forcibly search, and sure enough, he found the secret letter, and tied up Tang Jun on the spot to see Zhang Haohan.

After Zhang Haohan read the secret letter, he asked Tang Jun: "Are you secretly in contact with Ning Ze?"

Tang Jun hurriedly defended: "Big brother! It was Ning Ze who shot this secret letter to the junior brother pass, and the junior brother did not contact it!"

"If that's the case, why didn't you hand over the secret letter to the eldest brother on the spot?" Yang Zhuang said, "If it weren't for someone in Ning Ze's army who was in the army and exposed this matter to me, everyone would still be in the dark!"

"How do you explain?" Zhang Haohan frowned.

"Big brother, the younger brother has no intention of betrayal!" Tang Jun saw that the brothers were all looking at him angrily, and hurriedly said, "It's the younger brother who was confused and didn't tell me about the secret letter in time." Please forgive the eldest brother!"

"If you don't have the intention of betraying, why do you hide the secret letter?" Yang Zhuang said coldly, "I said that recently, Ning Zejun always came to you to shoot a few arrows and leave. I'm afraid there are other secret letters, where are they hidden? Do you secretly agree that the inside and the outside should be together?"

"It's wronged!" Tang Jun hurriedly shook his head and shouted at Zhang Haohan, "Big brother, the little brother really didn't betray him! He really didn't hide any secret letters! If you don't believe it, you can search for it!"

"Big brother, although I want to believe Tang Jun, he has hidden Ning Ze's secret letter for several days and has not told us, there must be something wrong!" Yang Zhuang said, "We are in danger, we need to be careful!"

Zhang Haohan turned his head to look at Yang Bi and Wen Xun, and saw that they were nodding cautiously, so he said to Tang Jun: "This matter is not trivial! As a big brother, although I want to believe you, I can't bet on the lives of all my brothers. Before the matter is revealed, your pass will be handed over to Wen Xun for the time being. ”

"Big brother, I really didn't betray!" Tang Jun said hurriedly, "Ning Ze just gave this secret letter, and there was no contact after that!"

"Don't worry, big brother won't wronged you," Zhang Haohan said, "Until the matter is clarified, I can only wronged you for the time being!"

Tang Jun was immediately ordered to be held in solitary confinement and strictly guarded.
