Shen Shan actually didn't want to leave, but there was no way.

He has betrayed the Liang State, and even if he surrenders, he will not be spared by Sima Fa.

So in accordance with Ning Ze's instructions, he mobilized the people of the whole city to leave Hexi County and go to Bashui.

Many people do not want to leave their homeland and choose to stay.

Shen Shan only took most of the population, almost half a million people.

There are still more than 300,000 people left in Hexi County, but the problem is that after walking so much, the population distribution of counties and cities has become very sparse.

At the same time, all the resources that could be pulled were pulled away, and even Shen Shan took it upon himself to blow up the gold mine, leaving an empty shell.

Even if Sima Fa recaptures Hexi County, in the face of a scarce population and a city with only empty shells, he must spend huge manpower and material resources to fill it, unless he gives up this city.

Moreover, in order to save the bombed gold mine, he had to invest more resources, which could greatly disperse his forces and materials.

Sima Fa's army finally arrived at Hexi County and found that it had almost become an empty city.

Knowing that it was Ning Ze's order to take away all the manpower and material resources that he could bring, he immediately frowned: "The surname Ning is ruthless enough, plundering population and materials, in order to make the city operate normally, it is necessary to mobilize manpower and material resources from other places to fill it." After all, it is an important border defense area, which should not be underestimated. If the population is plundered, agriculture, commerce, taxation, and conscription will be directly affected, and his strength will be expanded on his side, but weakened on this side!"

"So vicious?" Zhou Hao's eyes widened, "How should I deal with that?"

"He can plunder the population and materials, we will naturally retaliate with a tooth for a tooth!" Sima Fa said, "Hurry up to the aid of Hongshui County, seeing that it is about to enter winter, and the Ning Ze army will retreat when it runs out of food." When the time comes, envoys will be sent to unite Zhou and Nancheng to change their tactics, and the alliance will surround them by plundering the border cities of China, and study Ningze to plunder the population and materials, and destroy important facilities. Ning Ze is not easy to deal with, as long as he doesn't confront him head-on, focusing on looting materials, he will definitely be able to win back a game. ”

"Du Du Miaoce!" Zhou Hao clapped his hands and applauded, "With Ning Ze's strategy to deal with himself, there is nothing more wonderful than this!"

Due to the withdrawal of all the soldiers, horses, and supplies of Hexi County, Sima Fa's army recaptured the city without much effort.

Yan Ping was left to be responsible for mobilizing manpower and material resources from other counties to restore the operation of Hexi County, and the army went north.

The dynamics of Sima Fa's army, the scouts reported back in time.

The existence of the telescope, coupled with the flying pigeon's transmission, Ning Ze's information transmission is much stronger than that of the other party.

Knowing that Sima Fa's army was heading north and preparing to rush to the aid of Hongshui County, Ning Ze unfolded the map and called Hua Erniang over: "Sima Fa led the army to come to the aid quickly, Hongshui County is afraid that it will be difficult to break through! Moreover, our army has too many prisoners, and the military food is consumed very quickly, and it is about to enter winter again, so we will retreat sooner or later." Of course, before retreating, the morale of the other side needs to be severely hit. The lone general divided the soldiers and horses into two teams, one team is led by you, and here you cooperate with Ouyang Chun's side to continue to attack Hongshui County, and try to wear down the enemy's strength. Lone personally led troops to intercept Sima Fa and gave him a big gift!"

"Husband, Sima Fa went and returned, bringing an army of 500,000. There are already few soldiers here, not to mention being divided into two teams, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger!" Hua Erniang persuaded, "It is better to converge before Ouyang Chun and divide more troops and horses to intercept the enemy army." ”

"In that case, it's too late!" Ning Ze shook his head, "Right now, we have an intelligence advantage, and we must act as soon as possible to be effective." ”

"But the difference in strength is too great, and Sima Fa is not an idle person!"

Sima Fa claimed that there were 500,000 troops, and he guessed that it would be very good to have 100,000 when he was full. Ning Ze said, "These are reserve troops, most of which should come from the civilian sector and be temporarily recruited." The number seems to be a lot, but it is still very different from the regular army, and the combat effectiveness and discipline are not so strong. Sima Fa is not simple, and Lone will not underestimate him. Therefore, he carefully simulated it countless times in his mind, using his previous battlefield information and deducing it with the personality of the characters he had mastered, and he was very sure! He must have expected that Lone would divide his troops and ambush and raid in the middle of the road. Presumably, he will stand in the position of Lone, and deduce it as a Lone, where is it more appropriate to ambush. Throughout the map, the best ambush site is the Mengcheng River, followed by the Huangyang Gorge, and then the Zhudian Cliff. These are the most suitable terrains for ambushes in the art of war, and under normal circumstances, it is indeed better to ambush soldiers in these three places. If other generals lead the troops, Lone will definitely choose Mengcheng River, or Huangyang Canyon and Zhudian Cliff. In the face of Sima Fa, he had to do the opposite, so that he couldn't guess. ”

"Sima Fa is so smart, what if he calculates what the husband thinks?" Hua Erniang said worriedly.

Ning Ze smiled slightly: "Because of this, Lone gave up the three excellent ambush points of Mengcheng River, Huangyang Canyon, and Zhudian Cliff. Sima Fa was a smart man and was well versed in the art of war. The first thing he thinks of is the Mengcheng River, the best ambush spot. If he passed through the Mengcheng River with full vigilance and was not ambushed, he naturally thought that he expected this and deliberately gave up the best ambush point and turned to Huangyang Canyon. When the Huangyang Canyon has not seen Lonely, he will think that Lonely is on the safe side, and then use the Huangyang Canyon to paralyze him, and choose to set up an ambush in Zhudian Cliff. Again and again, not again and again. When he passed through the Huangyang Gorge and even entered the Zhudian Cliff, he still did not find the lone ambush. will guess what is the situation on this side that makes it impossible to divide the army, so that the opportunity to ambush him is abandoned. would never have thought that he would be waiting for him in Gangzhou, the most inconspicuous and unsuitable ambush. No matter how powerful he is, no matter how many soldiers and horses he has, he will panic if he is caught off guard. With Lone's 'spell', the army comes and goes like the wind, and it can also make him too busy to deal with it and suffer a big loss. If you can burn their grain trucks and destroy their military rations, they will be even more frightened. ”

"That said, it's better to be careful!"

"You can rest assured! When the orphan returns, he will immediately join forces with Ouyang Chun. ”

Ning Ze really divided his troops, let Hua Erniang stay here to cooperate with Ouyang Chun to attack the city, and he took 8,000 floating troops to deal with Sima Fa.

Sima Fa's army marched all the way north, day and night to reach the Mengcheng River.

As Ning Ze expected, in the face of this best ambush point, Sima Fa ordered the whole army to be on alert and walked slowly: "Ning Ze knows that our army is coming to help, and it is very likely that he will set up an ambush halfway. This is in line with the art of war, and it is also the best place to set up an ambush, and it is very likely to be attacked by the enemy!"

The officers and men of the whole army were cautious, marched forward with 120,000 spirits, and always paid attention to the surrounding situation.

However, nothing happened when the Mong River was safely crossed.

Zhou Hao said: "Ning Ze heard that 500,000 troops were coming to help, how could he dare to divide his troops to ambush him? ”

"No!" Sima Fa said solemnly, "Ning Ze always does things unexpectedly and unreasonably. You think he didn't dare to divide his troops and ambush him, but he just laid an ambush and suffered a lot when the time came. ”

But he didn't ambush here. ”

"He knew that I personally led the troops and could guess this, so he deliberately gave up the best ambush point to paralyze our army!" Sima Fa said, "Our army passed through the Mengcheng River safely, and once it was paralyzed, the other party could raid in the Huangyang Gorge." Order the whole army to raise vigilance, especially through the Huangyang Gorge, there will be an enemy attack!"

So the army was on guard and moved on.

Hurried day and night, arrived near the Huangyang Gorge, and the whole army was on the strongest alert.

Fearfully passed through the Huangyang Gorge, and there was no surprise attack, let alone the shadow of the Chinese army.

Zhou Hao said: "It seems that Ning Ze is inseparable, there is no ambush here!"

Sima Fa frowned slightly, and thought carefully for a long time: "No! With my understanding of Ning Ze, I will definitely make a move." It seemed that he guessed that I would be on guard, so he didn't do it immediately. Deliberately use the Mengcheng River and Huangyang Canyon as paralysis. If we pass safely through the two best ambush points, our troops may slacken. Once you relax, you will be seized by the other party. The only places on this road that are most suitable for ambush are Mengcheng River, Huangyang Canyon, and Zhudian Cliff. Since he did not set up an ambush in these two places, he must be waiting at the Zhudian Cliff! Don't let your guard down, especially when you reach the Zhudian Cliff, give me a 120,000 boost!"

Sima Fajun remained vigilant, hurried day and night, and finally came to Zhudian Cliff.

For the sake of safety, scouts were sent to carefully scout the perimeter to make sure there were no problems before leading troops across the area. During the period, they did not dare to slack off, and everyone concentrated on guarding everything around them.

All the Liang generals, including Sima Fa, were armed and ready to fight.

In an extremely tense atmosphere, the army slowly passed through the Zhudian Cliff, and in the end, they didn't see a single Chinese soldier, let alone Ning Ze.

It seemed to be in vain and pointless along the way.

Of course, no one dared to question Sima Fa. Zhou Hao just said to him: "It seems that Ning Ze lacks skills and has not set up an ambush. ”

"Could it be that I'm thinking too much?" Sima Fa frowned, "Put yourself in his shoes, if I were him, he would definitely set up an ambush in these three places and hit the enemy army with a surprise attack." ”

"Presumably, the other party's situation is not suitable for dividing troops," Zhou Hao said, "It is quite difficult for Mrs. Lei to do her best to hold on to Hongshui County. Our army is on guard all the way, and it is walking very slowly, in case the servants can't hold it, it will be bad!"

"Hmm~ It seems that Ning Zezhi is aiming to capture Hongshui County and wants to take it down before we arrive. Sima Fa thought about it carefully and nodded, "In that case, our army will rush to the aid of all and rush to Hongshui County as soon as possible!"

"Whoa!"

The army hastened and rushed north as fast as it could.

When the army arrived at Gangzhou Yuan, Ning Ze, who had been waiting here for a long time, finally saw Sima Fa's army enter the field of vision through the virtual map. Behind the opponent's army, the grain transportation team with the symbol of the grain truck is also clearly presented.

Most importantly, the other party obviously relaxed his vigilance and was bent on hurrying.

So when the opponent's army arrived in Gangzhouyuan, Ning Ze suddenly led his troops to appear from the side, and with the super mobility of the First Emperor's tactics, he went around to the rear grain transport team before the opponent reacted, and directly threw torches, splashed tung oil, and ignited the military rations. At the same time, the Futu army charged.

The grain convoy was suddenly attacked and did not react.

Countless truckloads of military rations were burned, and the flames soared into the sky. He was killed by the Futu army for a while, and there were countless casualties.

Sima Fa learned of the situation in the rear army and hurriedly turned around to support.

Before the front army arrived, Ning Ze led the Futu army, taking advantage of the high mobility of the First Emperor's tactics, to quickly escape from the side and leave the battlefield.
