"Sure enough, we're just attracting each other's chess pieces!" Looking at the majestic military formation outside the city, waving the flags, and the Taishou Ding Bi leading the generals to be stationed under the city to prepare for battle, Guan Xuehu couldn't help but smile bitterly, turned his head and said to Bai Chaoxin, "Ning Ze needs us to distract some of our attention so that he can plan secretly." If all eyes are on him, they won't be able to do it. ”

"Can we withstand it? Ding Bi is not an easy person. Bai Chaoxin was quite worried.

"Do you think you still have a choice?" Guan Xuehu sighed, "Since entering Minjiang County, Ding Bi has been fighting with us endlessly. If we want to live, we can only hold on desperately, maybe after Ning Ze's goal is achieved, we will defend the city and work hard to save us. ”

"What if Ning Ze throws us away?" Bai Chaoxin asked worriedly.

Guan Xuehu shook his head helplessly: "If he has thoughts about Minjiang County, he should save us." Don't think about it so much, the two of us can't decide anything anyway. ”

"That's ......"

When Ning Ze surrendered Xin Tieshan in Pudong County, Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin were worried in Minjiang County.

Although he has more than 10,000 troops in his hands, he is still weak in the face of Ding Bi.

The other party really relied on merit to become a guard, and he has a strong ability. And Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin are only low-level generals under Yu Zhongzhe and Li Boyu, and they all know very well that their skills are completely inadequate in front of Ding Bi.

The only thing that can be counted on is those black-clothed people who secretly seize the city, at least with their help, the city gates everywhere are quite well guarded, and they will not be easily breached by the other party.

Ding Bi has called for battle many times outside the city, asking Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin to go out of the city to fight him.

Of course, these two people were not stupid enough to send them to the door to let each other crush them, and they couldn't take advantage of the frontal battle at all, facing Ding Bi, who was experienced and knew the art of war, of course, they tried to defend and delay time by strengthening the city wall.

Therefore, no matter how ugly Ding Bi scolded outside the city, he dragged the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the two into it and ignored it completely.

Ding Bi scolded for a long time, and seeing that Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin had no intention of leaving the city at all, he finally couldn't help but order a strong attack.

The army charged in formation and slaughtered in a mighty manner.

The defenders in the city immediately released their arrows, and the rain of arrows in the sky swept through a graceful arc in the air, and shot densely towards Ding Bi's army.

Ding Bi's soldiers and horses raised their shields and rushed to the city wall at the risk of death, trying to take a cloud ladder to force the city wall.

The castle immediately used rolling stone oaks to prevent the other party from climbing.

The other part of the defenders pushed the ladder one after another, so that the Ding Bi soldiers who had climbed halfway up did not fall.

Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin personally participated in the battle, struggling to prevent the opposing soldiers from climbing the city wall on the city wall.

A fierce battle between the two sides? Fight to the death.

Played for most of the day? Both sides have their losses.

In the end, defending the city has an advantage, and Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin are struggling to keep the city gate? did not let Ding Bi's soldiers and horses attack the city.

Ding Bi was forced to truce? Temporarily withdraw from retirement.

Counting the casualties in the city, more than 500 people died in this war? Nearly a thousand were wounded.

Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin's pressure has increased greatly, and there are so many losses in just one siege? And consume a lot of arrows, rolling stones, and sassal wood? It is possible that Ding Bi will mobilize more troops from the surrounding counties to support, and the devil knows how long it will last.

In case Ning Ze didn't free his hand, this side was captured by Ding Bi first, and when the opponent entered the city? Their lives were not in danger.

Fortunately, Ding Bi temporarily retreated? When they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin ordered to consolidate the city defense, strengthen patrols, and report any disturbances as soon as possible, and then go to find those people in black? Hope to meet the leader of the other side and get some help.

The man in black didn't leave this time? Instead, they assisted the guards at the gates, so they quickly found each other? After the management Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin requested, after the other party reported? Soon a man in black with the identity of the leader came.

The man in black also did not identify himself? is also masked in front of Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin.

These men in black are all underground intelligence agents in Huaguo? He has most of the local information and has certain connections. Moreover, those who can be sent to lurk in enemy forces are either specially trained or relatively clever and know how to improvise.

Anyway, it is much stronger than Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin.

The other party did not show his identity, but Guan and Bai did not dare to despise it, and even lowered their posture, after all, the hope of life was in the hands of the other party. These black-clothed people didn't want Minjiang County to be taken back by Ding Bi so quickly.

Inform the leader of the men in black of the current problem, Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin hope to get help, if there are no appropriate means, I am afraid they will not be able to withstand a few strong attacks.

After thinking about it, the leader of the men in black pointed out a path for them: "The reason why Ding Bi is in a hurry to attack the city, regardless of the cost, is because there are his family members in the city, as well as his inheritance. With this as a handle, you can contain Ding Bi!"

"What do you mean, arrest Ding Bi's family and use it as a threat?" Bai Chaoxin's eyes lit up, "If you dare to attack the city, you will use his family members, good idea!"

The leader of the men in black shook his head and said, "With Ding Bi's character, if you do this, he will attack the city even more desperately, and after he comes in, he will cut you with a thousand knives and take revenge." ”

"Didn't you say that?" Bai Chaoxin frowned.

"What I mean is to protect Ding Bi's family, and you can't use this as a threat. Ding Bi is not simple, and he will not be coerced because of his family. "Instead, ask his family to write to tell Ding Bi that everything is okay and that he should not worry." ”

"Isn't this still going to be coerced?" Guan Xuehu was puzzled.

"The approach is different, the result is different!" replied the leader of the men in black, "Ding Bi belongs to the character of eating soft rather than hard, and directly arresting his family as a threat will only make him more angry and attack the city more fiercely." Protecting his family members and letting these family members write letters to ensure safety made him have some scruples, and the siege intensity will definitely drop!"

Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin looked at each other, unable to understand the reason.

In their opinion, both approaches are considered threats, there is no difference, and Ding Bi will really give different performances?

Suspicion is suspicion, and there is no other way at the moment, a dead horse is a live horse doctor.

So according to the advice of the leader of the men in black, he sent someone to find Ding Bi's family.

Due to the sudden seizure of Minjiang County, the city could not react, and Ding Bi's family could not escape at all, so they had to hide at home, hoping that these "thieves" occupying Minjiang County would not find them.

When Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin led the troops to the door, they were quite desperate, and even planned to break the net.

According to the orders of the leader of the men in black, the two ordered the soldiers to protect Ding Bi's mansion and not allow anyone to break in, ensuring that no one harmed them.

Then he sent someone in and told him in person that he had no intention of harming the Ding family, and only hoped that the Ding family would cooperate a little and write a letter to Ding Bi to report his safety, and it would be best if he could persuade Ding Bi to give up attacking the city.

Of course, the Ding family was suspicious, and they would not write a letter to persuade Ding Bi to give up the siege. However, he gave a few letters to report his safety, at least reassuring Ding Bi, knowing that everything was fine with his family in the city, and he could rest assured.

Guan Xuehu and Bai Chao got the letter, and immediately returned to the city gate, and let the soldiers tie arrows to shoot outside the city.

The Ding Bi soldiers, who were in charge of cleaning up the battlefield, found the letter and immediately brought it back to the camp.

When Ding Bi saw the letter from his family, he was shocked and suspicious, worried that this was a trap by the other party.

But there is a sense of peace of mind in my heart, if something happens to the family, the other party will not use this method to send a letter.

The letter said that the mansion was protected, and Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin did not allow anyone to enter or leave the Ding Mansion, nor did they let their subordinates harm the Ding family.

In Ding Bi's eyes, it was an obscure coercion from Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin.

Sure enough, after reading the letter, he became hesitant, and in the following days, the siege intensity decreased, and he seemed to have some scruples.

This made Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin a little reassured, as long as they didn't attack desperately like on the first day, they would be sure to delay for a while.

The other side.

Ma Lian, Ma Jin, Ma Xiu, Pei Ji and others led their troops to the lake and found Ningze and Xin Tieshan in the wooded area.

Seeing that the two of them were not far away, each sitting on the ground to rest, Ma Lian ordered the whole army to stop, and shouted in the direction of Xin Tieshan: "National teacher, what is the situation now? I will wait to see that the movement here has subsided, so I came here for some reason!"

They were actually very nervous, for fear that Xin Tieshan and Ning Ze would not finish their answers, and everyone would be affected.

Xin Tieshan glanced at Ning Ze, got up and replied: "The national division and the prince did their best, and they fought happily! The prince really has a lot of power, and the rumors are true!"

Hearing this, Ma Lian and the others were worried, could it be that the national teacher was not Ning Ze's opponent? He had Xuanwu as his companion, and he could still lose? Who in the whole world could win against Ning Ze?

Just when everyone was worried, Ning Ze got up and said with a smile: "The national teacher is too famous! Since his debut, it is the first time that Gu has played so happily." This one was a win-or-loser, but it was very enjoyable. ”

It turns out that the two were tied?

Thinking that Xin Tieshan was not Ning Ze's opponent, Ma Lian and the others, who were a little disappointed, instantly became excited.

Being able to draw with Ning Ze shows that this national teacher has real materials, which is the best news for Nancheng!

Although he failed to defeat Ning Ze, he could at least contend with it.

No wonder the fight was so fierce just now!

However, when the national teacher has Xuanwu, Ning Ze can still draw with him, which is really an extremely difficult opponent to deal with.

This matter must be reported to His Majesty as soon as possible, so that he may know the good news.

In the future, Nancheng will have a national teacher, and there will be a barrier against Ning Ze.

Since the national teacher and Ning Ze have a draw, they should enter Pudong County as soon as possible and discuss with the national teacher first to see if he is sure to set a trap to keep Ning Ze here forever. If it really doesn't work, I have to find a way to send Ning Ze out of Minjiang County, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Thinking of this, Ma Lian clenched his fists and said: "The national teacher and the prince are both immortals, and I am frightened to watch it from a distance. Since there is no difference between victory and defeat, it is better to enter the county, it is rare to meet opponents in chess, and there should be more exchanges. ”

"That's exactly what I mean!" Ning Ze laughed, and asked Xin Tieshan with a fist, "What does the national teacher think?"

Xin Tieshan looked at Ma Lian and the others, and when he saw that they were secretly giving him a look, he said in his heart, You don't know what's going on here, but it's okay, so I'm safer!
