Knowing that Ma Jian did not evacuate, but chose to stay in place, Ning Ze was not surprised.

This shows that the other party is still holding a bit of luck.

"Husband," Hua Erniang said to him, "Since Ma Jian will not retreat, it is better for me to lead the troops to the battle! ”

"With Feng Qiao and Pei Ji here, it's not that easy!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "Don't be anxious, you have to frustrate their spirit first, so that the other party's morale can drop to a certain level." If you hit it hard, our army will also suffer a lot of losses, and it is not cost-effective!"

"Does the husband have a plan?"

"There is a way to toss them. Ning Ze summoned Zhong Jizhao and commanded a few words in his ear.

Zhong Jizhao looked at Ning Ze suspiciously, not understanding the reason for doing this.

"Do as I tell you!"

"Whoa!"

Anyway, this is Ning Ze's order. Although Zhong Jizhao was puzzled, he still went to prepare.

Ma Jian sent scouts to investigate every day, and learned that Ning Ze did not leave Bashan County, but instead commanded his subordinates to collect all kinds of stones.

Puzzled, he asked Feng Qiao what the other party meant.

Feng Qiao thought about it carefully and replied, "Collecting stones should be used as a weapon to defend the city, I'm afraid that there are not many rolling stones in Bashan County." ”

"Oh~" Ma Jian nodded, "It seems that Ning Ze is going to stay here." ”

"Since Ning Ze stayed in Bashan County, Mizhou will definitely not be able to stop Sima Fa. Feng Qiao said, "Although Ouyang Chun is powerful, he must still be a little worse than Sima Fa. ”

"Then we just need to sit and watch Sima Fa defeat Ouyang Chun and break the Hua army!" Ma Jian raised his glass, "Once the Mizhou army is defeated, Ning Ze will definitely panic, if he doesn't go, Sima Fa will drive straight in, and Jinzhou will be in danger! If he leaves, our army can storm Jiangzhou and seize this place!"

"That's right, just wait for it to change!" Feng Qiao nodded in reply.

Ma Jianjun only searched for information every day to understand the situation on the side of Bashan County, and neither attacked nor retreated.

Basan County also brought stones from all over the city every day, and they tinkled inside the city walls and beat them continuously.

A week later, Zhong Jizhao replied: "Lord Wang, it has been prepared according to your instructions!"

"Very good!" Ning Ze nodded with satisfaction, "Watching the sky at night, there will be a south wind these days." At 0:00 tonight, the whole army was ordered to send the stones outside the city and place them in the location marked on the map, and it must be ensured that there are no mistakes, and the direction of the stones must be completely aligned!"

"Whoa!"

Ma Jianjun is quite far away from Bashan County, and although there are scouts to inquire about information, they can't keep an eye on it all the time.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Zhong Jizhao ordered the city gate to be opened, quietly led the troops to carry the processed stones, and went out of the city to the location drawn by Ning Ze on the map, and according to the marks on the map, he visited the different stones with a good touch.

After everything is completed, come back and report to Ning Ze.

Ning Ze was quite satisfied, and asked Zhong Jizhao to prepare other things.

Ma Jian didn't know what Ning Zejun did in the middle of the night, and he kept observing for a few days, but he didn't see anything unusual.

"Your Majesty, the latest military situation!" On this day, Feng Qiao came over to report, "Although Tang Niu's side has been contacted, the other party's surprise attack on Huajun has failed, and the losses are heavy, as if it has been hit, so it refuses our army's request, and we must focus on rest and recuperation, and we are unwilling to send troops again!"

"Short-sighted!" Hearing this, Ma Jian snorted coldly.

"It is said that in this surprise attack on Huajun, Tang Niu lost tens of thousands of elite soldiers and hundreds of generals. Feng Qiao said, "Especially in Huajun, there are only more than 10,000 defenders, and there are only old and weak women and children in the city. Such an advantage turned out to be a fiasco, and no one could afford it. ”

"Tang Niu only has bravery, not enough resourcefulness!" Ma Jian sighed, "A reckless man is not a big weapon!"

"Tang Niu can't count on it, and hopes that Sima Fa's side can defeat Ouyang Chun as soon as possible. As long as Ouyang Chun is defeated, Ning Ze is bound to rush north to help, and then he will show his flaws. ”

"Hmm, what has Ning Ze been doing in the past few days?" Ma Jian asked.

"There is nothing abnormal in Bashan County, but it is just holding on to the city. ”

"Hiss~ This is strange!" Ma Jian frowned and thought, "Ning Ze is actually a passive person?"

"Chen also thinks it's strange, I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Feng Qiao replied, "It's just that it's hard to guess what the other party thinks!"

"This man does things in a disorderly manner, which is confusing!"

"That's true. ”

"In short, our army has strengthened its vigilance, and we must not be negligent. ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister has ordered General Pei to be prepared. ”

Everything went as usual, and there was no movement on either side.

That night, the south wind rose.

In the dead of night, there was a faint sound.

"Who?!" the patrol immediately became vigilant and looked around.

And yet nothing came of it.

The voice seemed to float around, near and far, and it sounded like a young woman was sobbing. Then it changed, like a beast screaming, and then like a ghost screaming.

Strange sounds come and go, which makes people's hearts hairy.

The patrol was also bold, and went to find out what was going on, but they didn't find anything out of the ordinary, and they couldn't find the source of the sound.

When I was puzzled, I saw countless white shadows floating in the air in the distance, and my body looked like a person but not like a person, how could anyone fly in the sky?

These white shadows flicker high and low, flickering left and right, with strange sounds, which make people feel creepy.

During this time, a pair of glowing orbs appeared in the distance in the darkness, like lanterns, flashing and blinking like blinking, and at the same time, fireballs rose into the air, flying around.

Under the cover of night, everything becomes extremely eerie.

Especially in the era of superstition, these patrol soldiers are furious in their hearts, and their hearts say that this is the hell?

They glanced at each other and decided to hurry back to the camp.

These "ghosts" are still far away, and the blood in the barracks is strong, and the ghosts should not dare to approach.

So they turned around and ran back quickly.

During this period, someone suddenly made an "oops" sound in the rear.

When they turned back, they saw a companion shrouded in a white shadow that quickly disappeared into the shadows of the trees.

Everyone got goosebumps and ran in terror in the direction of the barracks.

Halfway through the run, someone suddenly screamed and fell, as if dragged in the darkness, and quickly disappeared into the night.

The patrol soldier turned pale, frightened and fled back to the barracks, and hurriedly reported to Ma Jianyu.

In fact, Ma Jian had been woken up by a strange sound, and other civil and military officials had also gathered and were discussing.

The patrol captain entered the tent and reported the matter in a panic, and all the civil and military officers in the tent showed nervous expressions.

"I'm afraid that Ning Ze can't bear it anymore and finally makes a move!" Liu Pan said nervously, "Could it be that he came to exorcise ghosts?"

"Don't make any conclusions until the matter is clarified!" Feng Qiao frowned.

"But the strange sound is quite strange. The soldiers also said that they saw ghosts, and even some of their companions were captured by ghosts......" Liu Pan said, "If it wasn't for Ning Ze to exorcise ghosts, what would it be?"

"Your Majesty, the last general is not afraid of ghosts in his life!" Pei Ji came out to ask for his life, "I am willing to lead the troops out of the camp and find out!"

"This ......" Ma Jian hesitated, mainly worried about whether Pei Ji would be plotted by Ning Ze after he went out.

"Your Majesty, the situation is unclear, you shouldn't mess with yourself!" Feng Qiao thought for a while, "Although the ghosts are fierce, the generals have killed countless enemies on the battlefield, and the murderous aura may be able to resist the ghosts." Moreover, it is also possible to pretend to be a ghost and disturb the hearts of our army! It is better to ask General Pei to find out the truth!"

"Your Majesty, the last general will definitely find out!"

"That's the case, General Lao!" Ma Jian didn't want to be worried all the time, "Pay attention to safety!"

"Whoa!"

Pei Ji led the troops out of the camp and galloped wildly in the direction of the sound. After a while, I saw a white figure in the sky in the distance.

It is not clear to see at night, but it must be flying in the air, accompanied by a strange sound, which is indeed creepy, just like the legendary ghost.

Later, I saw a lantern-version of the eye appear in the mountain in the distance, blinking and blinking, which was particularly infiltrating.

Coupled with the ghost fires floating everywhere, this situation and this scene are like ghosts.

Pei Ji was bold enough to lead the cavalry to check the surrounding sounds, but when he arrived, there was nothing, except for wasteland, trees, weeds, and stones everywhere, and he couldn't find anything suspicious.

Obviously there was no one, and strange sounds kept ringing in his ears, mixed with the sound of a woman sobbing.

I searched several places, but I couldn't find anyone at all.

The others must have been frightened, and quickly withdrew to the camp.

Pei Ji ran to the lantern-version of the big eyes in the surrounding mountains, to see if these big eyes and the ghost fires everywhere were pretending to be mysterious.

The cavalry gradually rushed to their destination, and those big eyes suddenly disappeared, as if they had never existed.

"General!" someone next to him pointed to another mountain, only to see those big glowing eyes appear in the distance, and continued to blink as if looking at this side.

Pei Ji frowned, so he ordered: "Find out with me first whether those ghost fires are true or false." ”

Although the cavalry was afraid, they did not dare to disobey the general's order, so they followed Pei Ji to the place where the ghost fire was.

After arriving, they were so frightened that even Pei Ji, who was brave enough, couldn't help but swallow and spit.

It turned out that the ghost fires that appeared in front of him were real, and there was no one around them, and there was no movement, these ghost fires were floating in the air, swaying, without any mechanism.

The constant sounds in my ears made everyone feel creepy.

"Withdraw!" Pei Ji was also a little frightened, this was out of his comprehension. Whether it is a ghost appearing in the wild or being recruited by Ning Ze, it must be very dangerous.

The whole cavalry turned around and ran back, and all they could hear was the strange cries around them, and everyone didn't dare to look back at the ghosts in the air, as well as those lantern-like eyes and ghostly fires.

On the way back, it was as if something was following behind me, and I panicked.

When I finally returned to the camp, when I counted the number of people, I found that there were seven or eight people missing, and I didn't know when they disappeared on the way, but there was no sound.

It's even more frightening.

Pei Ji hurriedly reported to Ma Jian and told what he had seen.

Ma Jian was shocked, and the Chinese military officials were also frightened and at a loss.

Pei Ji's Feng Qiao will not doubt it, because he has something to say and will not lie.

Is this haunted, or did Ning Ze invite ghosts? No matter which one it is, his army has already lost a lot of people, and again, there is no way to rest.

For the sake of safety, the whole army pulled out the village overnight and hurriedly retreated dozens of miles.
