Wu Shuang's entire army was annihilated, and only three soldiers and horses were left to fight against Lu Cong.

Zhou Nan and Zheng Qing felt tremendous pressure in the face of Sima Fa's army.

Tang Niu learned of the dilemma of the southern battlefield, but he could not pass through Yunzhou to come to the rescue, so he could only lead his troops to storm Sanlong County in Puzhou, hoping to relieve the pressure on the southern battlefield.

Sima Fa's main forces were all in the south, fighting against the armies of Zhou Nan and Zheng Qing. Although there were also heavy troops in the north, Li Xun still had a hard time facing Tang Niu.

After a long fierce battle, he finally couldn't resist it, Sanlong County was breached, and Li Xun retreated to Hengshan County.

Tang Niu did not stop and led the army to attack Hengshan.

Li Xun's pressure doubled, and he hurriedly asked Sima Fa for help.

Sima Fa got the information and immediately divided his troops.

The hussar general Zhou Hao personally carried it on his back and rushed to Puzhou to sit in the town.

The fighting was fierce in the west, and the east was not idle.

Autumn turns to winter, and heavy snow falls.

After Cheng Wan and Chu Bai united, they jointly resisted Ning Ze.

Ning Ze ordered Lou Qu to send troops to attack Bashan County, Jiangzhou, and he joined up with Dewey and Wang Wei, and personally led the troops to attack Liao County, separating Jiangzhou and Xizhou from the middle, breaking the alliance of Cheng Wan and Chu Bai.

How could Cheng Wan and Chu Bai let him get his wish, the main forces of the two sides were in a corner and held the fortress.

All the other cities held on.

After the heavy snowfall, Cheng Wan and Chu Bai were a little relieved, the temperature in winter was extremely low, and the road was difficult to walk, making it inconvenient to march. In such an environment, it is even more difficult to attack the city, and Ning Ze will definitely retreat.

It took Ning Ze several months to pacify Liangzhou, and when he freed up his hands to deal with Cheng Wan and Chu Bai, it was already winter.

The military rations transferred from Liangzhou can last for a month, and if they can't be taken during this time, they have to withdraw for the time being.

The military situation in the west continued to come, Sima Fa destroyed the Gunzhou assassin Shi Wu Shuang, and the pressure of the four-way coalition army increased greatly, although Tang Niu attacked the city and pulled out the village, all the way to Hengshan, but the situation was not optimistic.

A Ma Jian suddenly appeared in the territory of Gunzhou, who seemed to be the son of Ma Qiao, the leader of the rebel army who had jointly conquered the Liang Yi ant thieves. It is very likely that this man will occupy the state of Gonzhou and use it as a base for expansion.

The situation changed quickly, and Ning Ze wanted to take down Cheng Wan and Chu Bai before Lu Cong cleaned up Zhou Nan, Zheng Qing, and Tang Niu.

Once Lu Cong frees his hand, he will definitely use himself as his main opponent to start a larger-scale war, if Cheng Wan and Chu Bai are still there, as long as they cooperate with Lu Cong, they can cause huge trouble to themselves!

I was not afraid of anyone in a one-way battle, but I was worried that Sima Fa would launch a multi-front group battle, and the opponent would have a wide range of soldiers, although he also had good generals, but his manpower was relatively insufficient, and this kind of large-scale war would suffer!

Winter is not suitable for siege, because the cold weather is not good for your own soldiers, and then it is difficult to march, and it is difficult to move troops and horses at will.

In particular, the temperature has dropped very rapidly recently, and many soldiers have suffered from frostbite, and it is difficult for ordinary camps to ensure the temperature of soldiers.

The strategists around him also advised Ning Ze that this kind of weather was not suitable for continuing to fight, so it was better to withdraw first and wait until the next year warmed up before fighting.

The problem is that if Cheng Wan and Chu Bai are not disposed of cleanly, there will be more trouble in the coming year.

No matter how bad it is, at least dispose of one of them, and there will be less trouble.

Louqu is useless, it is similar to Bashui, Miao County and other places, and it is harassing. The main battlefield is still on the side of Liao County, as long as Liao County is broken and Cheng Wan and Chu Bai are cut off, they can be broken one by one!

Cheng Wan and Chu Bai were the defenders, and it was less difficult to transport military rations, and Ning Zejun needed to mobilize military rations from a distance, which was especially difficult in this kind of ice and snow weather.

However, it was difficult for him to directly switch to sledding to transport grain, which easily solved this problem.

However, the problem of frostbite of soldiers in severe cold weather is not easy to solve, and it is even more difficult to storm the fortress.

Cheng Wan and Chu Bai were in the fortress, looking at the Ning Ze army stationed in front, waiting for the other party to withdraw their troops.

It didn't take long to see that Ning Ze's army was close to the fortress and began to transport a large amount of wood, and even directly built a skeleton, as if he was going to build a city here.

Cheng Wan and Chu Bai didn't dare to send troops to attack, worried that it was the other party's strategy to lure the enemy, once the fortress was opened, it would be troublesome if it was attacked by the other party!

But I still feel puzzled, how can it be so easy to build a city? When your city is built, I'm afraid it's already spring. Besides, the timber can be seen from the nearby woods, and the masonry used to build the city can be transported?

The two felt that Ning Ze was too anxious, a little out of proportion, and secretly happy in their hearts.

Moreover, the temperature is extremely low this winter, and he is afraid of freezing when it is convenient outside, so Ning Ze ordered people to build a city, and he was afraid that countless soldiers would freeze to death because of this.

The two didn't pay attention, and the next day the scout came to report that a small city had appeared outside the city.

Cheng Wan and Chu Bai hurried to the fortress, and sure enough, they found that a small city appeared on the opposite side, surrounded by walls on all sides, and there were countless houses in the middle.

These houses are not bricks or tiles, and they are all made of ice.

The city and the fortress stand opposite each other, and the scene is truly amazing.

It turned out that Ning Ze mobilized the whole army to build the skeleton of the city wall, and tens of thousands of soldiers filled it with snow, and after pouring water, it became a strong city wall overnight. At the same time, soldiers are taught to build igloos, which are warmer than ordinary tents.

Seeing this situation, Cheng Wan and Chu Bai looked at each other and couldn't say a word.

Later, they saw the Ning Ze army food transport team appearing, walking like a fly in the ice and snow, and arrived easily, which made the two even more dumbfounded.

Ning Zejun built an ice and snow city, and there were sleds to transport grain, and the two major problems were easily solved.

Cheng Wan was a little worried, and said to Chu Bai: "It was said that Ning Ze knew spells, but I didn't believe it. Now that Ning Ze is building a city outside the fortress and can quickly transport military rations, how can it be good?"

Chu Bai replied: "Just hold on to the fortress and delay time." If the fortress is broken, you can retreat to the city of Liao County. This fortress is strong enough to block Ning Ze for more than a month, and the Liao County city can be defended for several months, and when the prime minister has his hands free, he will send troops to attack Ning Ze!"

Hearing this, Cheng Wan was a little relieved.

After building the ice and snow city, the military rations were delivered, and Ning Ze was fully prepared.

Strategist Qian Chun said: "The fortress is strong, and it cannot be broken without more than a month. Even if the fortress is attacked, the other side retreats to Liao County and holds on, the cold weather is not conducive to our army, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to overcome for several months! In my opinion, it is not beneficial to attack by force, and Liao County may not be taken. It's better to retire for the time being. ”

The military officials below the account did not speak, but in fact they had similar ideas. This season is indeed not suitable for war, even if the problem of military rations and warmth is solved, the difficulty of attacking the city is several times that of the past.

"Lone knew that this battle was unfavorable, but he was worried that Tang Niu, Zhou Nan, and Zheng Qing would lose too quickly. Once Lu Cong defeats these three routes, he will go all out to deal with our army! If he can't eliminate Cheng Wan and Chu Bai as soon as possible, he will definitely be on Lu Cong's flank in the coming year, which will be even more unfavorable to our army!" Ning Ze said, "Therefore, at all costs, we must take these two people, or at least break one of them." ”

"It's just that the enemy's city defense is consolidated, and there is weather hindering, in case it can't be attacked, our army will suffer heavier losses. Qian Chun said, "It's better to withdraw and prepare, at least preserve your strength, and face the enemy with the best posture in the coming year!"

"Lone can understand your concerns!" Ning Ze said, "That's why he said whatever it takes." Since you want to attack the fortress quickly, you can only use the explosive crossbow! Although you are a little reluctant, you can only achieve your goal as soon as possible by throwing money at the moment! Even if you use up all the inventory at once, as long as you take one of them, you won't lose anything!"

Ning Ze personally led the troops to the bottom of the fortress.

Cheng Wan and Chu Bai led the guards and stood condescendingly above the fortress.

The two armies faced each other, and Ning Ze stepped forward, raised his head and shouted loudly: "Listen to the city! ”

Cheng Wan replied: "Ning Ze, Er is a courtier of Dacheng, and he actually attacked his colleagues in the DPRK and China, this is a rebellious move!

"Is it only for Cheng to send troops to fight the orphans?" Ning Ze replied, "Since Cheng Envoy Jun provoked a war, this matter must have a result!"

Chu Bai shouted: "It's useless to talk more! I'll wait here to see how you attack the fortress!"

"Since you refuse to surrender, Hugh blames you for being ruthless!" Ning Ze immediately ordered, "Crossbowmen step forward!"

Receiving the order, the crossbowmen under his command quickly stepped forward.

"Archer!!" Chu Bai and Cheng Wan hurriedly ordered, and the archers pulled their bows and stringed them.

In their opinion, great is to shoot at each other, and if the other party dares to attack, they can only block it by pouring water down. At this temperature, the soldiers who were splashed with cold water were basically finished, and there were not such good conditions in the field to be treated.

The light is fired at each other, and you can be safe and sound.

"Siege!" Ning Ze ordered, and the crossbowmen immediately aimed at the top of the fortress and shot wildly.

The defenders of the city also shot arrows.

It's just that after the crossbow arrow is shot, it explodes immediately, and the power is amazing.

"Boom, boom, boom......" exploded repeatedly, directly scaring Cheng Wan and Chu Bai.

The walls of the fortified fortress were cracked by the explosion.

It was difficult to understand that the crossbow arrows shot by the other party would explode, and Cheng Wan and Chu Bai's brains were buzzing and blank.

If it weren't for the quick reaction of the generals on the left and right, pulling the two of them to hurriedly leave the fortress wall and hide in the rear bunker, I am afraid that they would be blown up.

Of course, there is no way to fight ordinary arrows and explosive crossbow arrows, and in just a moment, the defenders of the fortress are overwhelmed, and there are many gaps in the wall.

Regardless of the cost, Ning Ze let the crossbowmen continue to shoot, and smashed them completely with money.

"Boom, boom, boom......" explosions came and went, and there was no interruption at all.

The defenders of the fortress could not resist and retreated.

Left and right said to Cheng Wan and Chu Bai: "This must be Ning Ze's demon art, I'm afraid it can't be resisted! If you don't retreat quickly, a big disaster is coming!"

Cheng Wan and Chu Bai saw with their own eyes that the solid fortress walls were constantly smashed, and this kind of attack really couldn't be stopped, so they really gave up the fortress and fled to Liao County in a panic.

On the way to escape, set traps along the way.

The defenders of the fortress withdrew, and the defenders in charge of the palace only resisted for a while, and they were powerless in the face of the terrible explosion, so they also chose to turn around and flee.

Ning Zejun mobilized the car, crashed open the gate of the fortress, and pursued all the way.

The traps encountered on the road were marked on the virtual map, and Ning Ze ordered them to be removed, but no damage was caused.

Cheng Wan and Chu Bai retreated to Liao County and closed the city gates.

Ning Ze chased him outside the city and ordered the soldiers to hurry up and build a small ice and snow city that could accommodate the entire army.

Facing Ning Ze's pressing step by step, Cheng Wan felt the pressure and said to Chu Bai: "Ning Ze's demon skills are amazing, if you attack Liao Jun with this, how can you defeat it?"

Chu Bai said: "If there is demonic art, there must be a way to break the demonic magic." Wait for me to recruit talented people in the city to deal with Ning Ze!"
