Jiang Peng led his troops out of the city, and when Gu'an Taishou learned the news, he knew that it was going to be bad.

Sure enough, some defeated soldiers fled back to say that Jiang Peng was defeated and stabbed to death by Dewey. The generals who accompanied him were either killed or captured, and the troops he brought out were almost completely annihilated.

In a panic, Gu'an Taishou ordered the city gate to be closed tightly, strengthen the defense, and immediately sent a report to Sima Fa and asked for support.

Jiang Peng went out this time and took away more than half of the soldiers in Gu'an City, but the whole army was wiped out. The most worrying thing is that taking the initiative to start a war against Ning Ze's army will inevitably attract retaliation from the other party.

The flying pigeon arrived in Datong, and Sima Fa was discussing with his subordinates the layout of the next round of battles and how to deal with Feng Qiao's army.

It was not difficult for him to deal with Feng Qiao alone, but there was one more Yang Zhao who appeared out of nowhere, and the two of them joined forces to block themselves here, unable to successfully attack Gunzhou.

At this juncture, I received a letter of help from Gu'an Taishou, and to be honest, I was a little annoyed.

After all, he told him a thousand times, don't provoke Ning Ze at will. finally dragged the other party and created an opportunity to concentrate on dealing with Nancheng's army, and at this time there was such a big moth.

From the letter to learn the detailed situation, it is not entirely to blame Gu'an Taishou, it is estimated that he fell for Nancheng's strategy, and used the way of death to assassinate Jiang Nan through the dead soldiers, stirring up the nerves of both sides. Gu An Taishou couldn't hold back, but he didn't expect Jiang Nan's own brother Jiang Peng to be angry and unable to act calmly.

Now that Jiang Peng took the initiative to lead his troops to attack Ning Ze, he did not take any advantage, but wiped out the whole army, although the other party did not want to intervene at this point in time, he would definitely respond.

Immediately ordered: "Immediately fly pigeons to pass the book, inform Xingtai Taishou Zhang Yi to strengthen the city defense, and set up ambushes at major passes, not to be negligent!"

"Military Division," Lu Yuan was a little puzzled when he heard this, "Are you wrong? Now that Gu'an County is in danger, shouldn't you send troops to support? Why do you want to notify Xingtai County to strengthen the city defense and set up an ambush?"

Not only Lu Yuan, but the other civil and military generals in the tent were also confused.

Sima Fa affirmed: "Ning Ze will not fight Gu'an County, as long as he honestly guards the city, he can be safe." ”

"Why?" Zhou Hao said, "Gu'an County has lost more than half of its soldiers and horses, and Ning Ze will lead his troops to launch a surprise attack, and he will definitely take it easily." Then Xingtai County has all the soldiers and horses, and the grain and grass are sufficient, how can the other party be willing to seek the near and far?"

From the average person's point of view, this is true. Sima Fa patiently explained, "It's just that Ning Ze is extraordinary, this guy is extremely cunning. The situation of Gu'an County is very simple to take. However, this city is surrounded by our side and Ma Jian's city, and the geographical environment is quite disadvantaged. Even if Ning Ze took it down, it would not be of much use to him, but he would be in danger. Once our side reconciles with Ma Jian and launches a siege against him, it will be difficult to fly! Even if he has the ability to fight his way out of the encirclement, when he escapes back to Xizhou, he will be completely annihilated and suffer heavy losses. Xingtai County borders on Xizhou, once the back road is unblocked, it can hold on, and it can also mobilize troops and military rations from Xizhou at any time, which is very stable. In exchange for me, I will also take this city first, step by step, and be in an invincible position! I expect that Ning Ze will give up Gu'an and turn around and seize Xingtai. ”

"I see!!" he explained, and the general suddenly realized.

Not to mention that Sima Fa ordered Xingtai to guard Zhang Yi to prepare early and set up a defense in advance.

Ning Ze's army defeated Jiang Peng and captured a large number of generals and soldiers.

Dewey suggested taking advantage of the victory to pursue and take Gu'an County in one go.

The other soldiers also agreed, and they all geared up.

Ning Ze said: "It's easy to take Gu'an County, but it's not the best choice right now. If our army is stationed in Gu'an City, it will be surrounded by Lu Cheng and Ma Jian, which will be extremely troublesome. It's better to turn around and attack Xingtai County, open up the road with Xizhou, and take it step by step!"

"Wonderful!" Dewey said when he heard this, "The other party must have thought that we would launch a counterattack against Gu'an County, but they didn't expect to turn around and attack Xingtai County, and they would be caught off guard when the time came!"

"Sima Fa is not that simple," Ning Ze said with a smile, "In other words, any smart person will also be aware of my intentions." If my prediction is correct, after he gets the news, he will immediately summon a message, so that Xingtai County can take defensive measures and be ready for battle. When our army arrives, there will definitely be the Xingtai army to defend it with all its might. ”

"Huh?" Dewey was stunned, "Shall we turn around then?"

"Of course!"

"But Sima Fa sees through his brother's thoughts, so we can't gain an advantage and capture Xingtai through a surprise attack. ”

Ning Ze glanced at Dewey, his face full of smiles: "Lonely expected that he could expect Lonely's thoughts, so naturally he had something to rely on." Although he traveled with Gu Dong, he attacked Xingtai. In the eyes of the lonely, any defense set by the other party is in vain!"

That's true.

Even if Sima Fa saw through Ning Ze's mind and set up a defense in advance, under the powerful effect of Ning Ze's virtual map, the layout of all the armies in Xingtai County was clear, and it would not have the best interception effect at all.

Ning Ze can confirm the situation of the enemy and our armies through the virtual map before the other party finds himself, and use this as a basis to make the most appropriate adjustments.

The opponent can prepare in advance, and Ning Ze can also temporarily change the formation, and create a "surprise" for the opponent by using the battlefield layout.

Moreover, with Ning Ze's various powerful cheating functions, even if the two sides fight head-on, they will not fall behind, and they can even seize the advantage quickly. You must know that Ning Ze's musketeers have not been out of battle until now, and they just rely on Dewey's ordinary army to meet the enemy.

After the formation of musketeers, their combat power was quite strong, especially the appearance of musket burst devices, which made this army even more lethal. Coupled with Ning Ze's tactics, it can be said to be a real killer feature.

Not to mention that Xingtai County borders on Xizhou, and the Xizhou army can be mobilized through the radio at any time to outflank and cooperate in the operation.

So Ning Ze's army decisively turned around, opened the First Emperor's tactics and moved at full speed, and rushed in the direction of Xingtai County in the east.

Xingtai Taishou Zhang Yi received Sima Fa's order to quickly arrange the city defense, and sent all the most trusted and powerful generals under his command to the checkpoint between Gu'an and Xingtai, and waited for it.

Ning Ze's army marched day and night, and soon arrived at Nanjing Pass.

The guards of the Nanjing Pass, Guo Wei and Dong Han, guarded the checkpoint with heavy troops, and set up ambushes on both sides of the checkpoint in advance, once Ning Ze's army came to the pass, they would be besieged by three roads and fall into trouble.

However, through the virtual map, Ning Ze clearly saw the ambush soldiers at Nanjing Pass.

The 10,000-strong army here is guarded by the pass, the level defense is well-equipped, and the wall is high and wide and difficult to break through.

There were 5,000 ambush soldiers on each side, plus a total of 20,000 troops in the pass, killing machines everywhere.

Even if Ning Ze knew the other party's layout in advance, and there were various cheating methods, it would be a hard battle to break in directly, and it would not be easy to fight.

From the observation of the virtual map, the guards of the South Path Pass are proficient in the art of war, good at arranging formations, and the 20,000 troops are neat and tidy, which is completely in line with the virtual and real application of the art of war, which is not simple.

At present, the distance is still far away, and Ning Ze has a virtual map, so he can easily lead the army to bypass the local scouts and reconnoitre, so that the other party does not notice the arrival of his own army, and the advantages are there.

If you look closely at the surrounding terrain, there are high mountains everywhere, which are difficult to climb over, and even more difficult to detour to the rear to attack.

If you change people, I'm afraid there is only one way to Nanjingguan.

It's just that Ning Ze quickly found another hidden waterway through the virtual map, and he could follow the water flow to the mountains and forests west of Nanjing Pass.

It is a long lake in the shape of an S, surrounded by high mountains, which is difficult to spot under normal conditions.

To get to the lake, you first have to climb over a large mountain, which is quite difficult.

It's just that it is relatively over countless mountains, but it is also the simplest and most hidden road.

Normally, no one will leave the road behind, but choose to climb over the mountains. Especially when leading a large army, this kind of towering mountain is the most dangerous and deadly, and even if it is successfully climbed, it will cost many lives.

Mountain roads are generally narrow and rugged, how can tens of thousands of troops cross them so easily?

Moreover, even if they succeed in crossing the mountains, the whole army is exhausted, where can they still launch a surprise attack on the enemy?

This is not recommended in the art of war.

Ning Ze was an accident, and these difficulties were nothing to him.

With the bonus of the First Emperor's tactics, the attributes of the entire army skyrocketed, the morale was amazing, and the trekking through mountains and rivers was like walking on the ground. With a virtual map as a reference, even if it is the first time to come, it is easy to avoid dangerous places, and you will never go to a dangerous area and kill soldiers. There are miraculous doctors, even if you encounter dangerous beasts in the mountains, or soldiers are unfortunately injured, they can be easily healed.

So Ning Ze's army effortlessly climbed over a mountain and arrived at the lake seen on the virtual map.

The best way to get to Nanjing Pass quickly is to swim along the lake, which is full of mountains and mountains, which is extremely time-consuming.

It's just that in the tens of thousands of troops, there are many landlubbers, and not all of them are proficient in water.

In order to solve this problem, Ning Ze ordered the whole army to cut down trees and bamboos on the spot, make simple rafts and bamboo rafts, and let the soldiers with poor or no water ability sit on them, and swim to the other side of the lake together with the best water quality.

By the way, these rafts and bamboo rafts can also allow people with good water to swim tired, and they can take a break on the side.

The entire army quietly crossed from the water, and with the bonus of the First Emperor's tactics, it swam at an astonishing speed and arrived at its destination safely without any casualties.

After going ashore, under the leadership of Ning Ze, he quietly came to the mountain west of Nanjing Pass, and happened to see the Xingtai defenders waiting at the checkpoint below.

It's just that the other party didn't know that Ning Ze's army had crossed directly from a path that they couldn't imagine at all.

Ning Ze was not in a hurry to attack, so he found a good position for the officers and soldiers of the whole army to rest for a while, wring out the soaked clothes, and then ate some dry food to replenish his strength.

After regaining his strength, he took the lead, leading the whole army to cover his body through the dense woods, and quietly moved down the mountain to the checkpoint.

When you reach the vicinity of the level, you suddenly go full speed ahead and charge towards the enemy in a condescending manner.

The opposing level is built in the middle of two large mountains, and you can directly reach the top of the level from the side hills.

The sudden appearance of the Chinese army directly caused all the defenders of Xingtai County in the checkpoint to fall into chaos and look stunned.
