Chapter 324: Cutting off the way out
Will Zhou Ya betray Tang Niu and sincerely surrender to Ning Ze?
Of course not.
It's just that Ning Ze has the ability to systematically, and when he saw his deception strategy, he misled him with false information, and set a trap to wait for Tang Niu.
At the same time as Tang Niu was fooled, he pit Zhou Ya again.
Sure enough, Tang Niu mistakenly thought that Zhou Ya had betrayed him, and deliberately set up this situation, and was furious: "Zhou Ya, dare to deceive me!"
Mei Xu felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, General Zhou's family is all in Bianzhou, and they are loyal, how can they betray?"
"If Zhou Ya is betrayed, how can he come to today's situation?" Tang Niu said angrily, "This person pretends to be loyal and betrays the Zhou State!
Mei Xu wanted to speak for Zhou Ya, but there was no evidence to prove that he had not betrayed, the current situation was not good, if the enemy's encirclement was completely tightened, it would be very difficult to rush out.
Thinking of this, he put aside Zhou Ya's topic for the time being, and said to Tang Niu: "Your Majesty, if you are surrounded by Ning Ze's army, something will not be good!
Tang Niu also knew that it was very troublesome to be surrounded by Ning Ze's army, although he was not afraid of death, he was not stupid, so he ordered the whole army to retreat while fighting, and try to break out of the encirclement of Ning Ze's army.
Ning Ze deceived Tang Niu's army, of course, it would not be so easy for them to leave, so he personally led the army to contain it, so that the other party would not have time to retreat, so that the ambush soldiers on both wings could surround it as soon as possible.
The generals followed Ning Ze to charge, and the enemy generals rushed up, trying to block them and cover Tang Niu's withdrawal.
The generals of both sides engaged in fierce horse battles, and the scene was quite lively.
Ning Zejun also rushed over and engaged Tang Niu's soldiers and horses at close range.
Tang Niu, accompanied by Mei Xu, quickly evacuated after the generals broke off.
Ning Ze broke through the enemy generals, and basically the giant hammer swept unstoppable, and Wang Wei, Liang Teng, and Wei Yi followed closely around him, and soon caught up with Tang Niu.
The guards beside Tang Niu immediately turned around, shouted "Your Majesty, go away", and greeted each other with guns.
Liang Teng and Wei Yi led their generals to fight, and shouted at Ning Ze: "Don't let Tang Niu run away!"
Ning Ze and Wang Wei took advantage of them to drag Tang Niu's guards, galloped wildly, and caught up.
Mei Xu looked back and saw this scene and found that the infantry had no time to support, after all, two legs could not run on four legs. Therefore, he hurriedly said: "After the minister comes to break off, Your Majesty will leave quickly!"
turned around and went straight to Ning Ze.
"Get out of the way!" Seeing Mei Xu coming towards him, Ning Ze picked up the Celestial Star Hammer and swept over.
"Keng!" Mei Xu hurriedly raised his weapon to block, and was so shocked that he almost let go. He hurriedly leaned back to unload his strength, and leaned on his legs to hold the horse's belly without falling to the ground.
By the time he got up, Ning Ze had already swept across and went straight to Tang Niu.
Just as he was about to catch up, Wang Wei, who was wearing a ghost mask next to him, raised his gun and stabbed him.
"Keng!" Mei Xu hurriedly held up the opponent's spear, and the two used all their strength to start a fierce fight.
Tang Niu had no guards around him, and was running towards his infantry formation at full speed.
Ning Ze's claw Huang Feidian is a famous horse, and it was really like lightning when he ran at full speed, and finally caught up with Tang Niu: "Where to escape?!"
"When I'm afraid of you?" Tang Niu turned back angrily, and the ghost slashed.
"Keng!" Ning Ze's giant hammer blocked, and then smashed the door with a hammer.
Tang Niu hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and quickly slashed horizontally.
Ning Ze dodged on his back, and the giant hammer swept.
The two of them went hand in hand, each exerting all their strength.
After more than ten battles, seeing that he was close to the enemy's formation, although the opponent was fighting and retreating, Ning Ze had already left his own army too far, and if he continued to chase, it was easy to follow Tang Niu into the enemy's formation and fall into the encirclement.
Although it was a pity, Ning Ze decisively strangled the reins, and when Tang Niu ran towards the military formation, the Celestial Star Hammer in his hand disappeared, and at the same time summoned a big bow.
He put the arrow on it, pulled it directly to the full string, and shouted: "Medium!"
The "——!" arrow shot over and hit Tang Niu's left shoulder.
Tang Niu shook his horse and almost fell. Fortunately, he stabilized his figure, so he stuck an arrow in his shoulder, fled back to the military formation and disappeared.
Ning Zejun pursued all the way, and although he did not take Tang Niu, he also won a complete victory.
Mei Xu and some of the generals received the support of the military formation and escaped smoothly, but nearly fifty or sixty generals did not have time to escape, and were either killed by the soldiers of Ning Ze's army, or they were cornered after the siege and had no choice but to surrender.
During the retreat, Tang Niu's front army suffered the greatest encirclement, losing more than 7,000 people in the fierce battle, and at least more than 20,000 soldiers were captured.
Almost half of the soldiers and horses stayed here, and a large number of military rations and equipment were captured by Ning Ze's army.
As the emperor of Zhou, Tang Niu was even injured in the left shoulder by Ning Ze's arrow, which dealt a greater blow to the morale of the army.
With such a fiasco, Tang Niu's army retreated seventy miles, where is there a chance to counterattack?
Zhou Ya was escorted by Ning Ze's subordinates and went all the way to the checkpoint.
Thinking in his heart, the information had been sent, perhaps His Majesty had led troops to surround Ning Ze's soldiers and horses, and even captured him alive.
Ning Ze used the reason to recuperate his injuries and sent himself to Guannei, what way to escape?
Otherwise, Your Majesty will defeat Ning Ze's soldiers and horses, and they will know that they are internal and will be unfavorable to themselves!
Just thinking about it, suddenly the front line reported good news, saying that Tang Niu's soldiers had fallen into a trap and fled in defeat, thanks to Zhou Yaqi's secret surrender and use false information to deceive the enemy army and make it enter the encirclement. More than half of the enemy was destroyed in this battle, and Tang Niu was wounded, all of which were his credits.
Zhou Ya was suddenly blinded, what is going on?
What does it mean to use false information to deceive your own soldiers and horses into the encirclement?
There are no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses outside Ningze's military pass, how can they surround their own soldiers and horses?
Later, I learned from the soldiers in the customs that when Ning Ze went out to pursue Tang Niu, he secretly mobilized troops and horses. In fact, the main forces are all hiding outside, waiting for mobilization.
Zhou Ya suddenly realized that he had been tricked!
No wonder at a glance in the pass, he couldn't find a high-ranking general, and Ning Ze lied to himself, he said that the main forces were all in the pass, but in fact, it was not!
Could it be that the other party has already seen through the plan of deception, so he will plan and use himself to lead His Majesty into the encirclement?
Listening to the meaning of the general in the pass, it seems that this credit is pressed on his head?
Thinking of this, Zhou Ya's face changed drastically.
On the one hand, Ning Ze deceived himself with false information and lured His Majesty into a scheme, causing more than half of his own soldiers and horses to be killed and wounded, and even His Majesty was injured. On the other hand, they advertise to themselves, saying that this plan was designed by themselves, as a vote?
In this way, His Majesty naturally thinks that he has betrayed, and in his anger, can his family still live?
Once the whole family is killed, it is even more impossible for him to return to the Zhou Kingdom......
What a poisonous strategy!
At that time, even if he refused to serve Ning Ze, he would not be able to return to His Majesty's side. And everyone in the world will think that they are traitors.
Zhou Ya was stunned! To be honest, when I first saw Ning Ze, seeing that he was so young and had been deceived by his own bitter tricks, I felt a little proud in my heart, and I also thought that Ning Ze was nothing more than that.
Thinking about it now, shudder.
It turned out that he had already been toyed with by the other party and applauded and didn't know it......
Ning Zejun returned victoriously and held a banquet in the customs to celebrate.
At the banquet, Zhou Ya was also invited, but compared with the surrounding Chinese generals, only his face was ugly.
"In today's battle, the soldiers of our army used their lives, so they won a big victory!" Ning Ze picked up the teacup and made a toast, turning to Zhou Ya with a smile, "Of course, the one who has the greatest credit should be General Zhou! If it weren't for the general to lure Tang Niu's army to come, how could he have such a good opportunity?"
The corners of Zhou Ya's mouth twitched, and he got up and looked at Ning Ze: "Why does the prince want to ridicule the foreign minister? It turns out that the foreign minister's plan to deceive surrender has long been seen through. The prince will make a plan, so that our army will lose more than half, and let the foreign minister bear the name of a traitor, it is really calculated!"
"Now General Zhou is a meritorious hero of my country, and he will definitely not be able to return to Zhou, and the word foreign minister can be discarded!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "The first merit of the general in this battle will definitely be rewarded!"
Zhou Ya replied in a deep voice: "The foreign minister is a general of the Zhou State, how can he be treason with the grace of His Majesty's knowledge?" Since the prince has seen through the foreign minister's strategy, he can give the foreign minister a death and save his full name!"
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Ning Ze touched the handful of mustache that he had finally grown, and said with a smile: "Lone has ordered people to publicize the general's merits everywhere, and soon the world will know about it." Even if the general died here, others would only think that he was too seriously injured by Tang Niu's whip and died. Where's the name?"
"You ......" Zhou Ya's eyelids jumped, and his whole body trembled with anger.
"The general's name festival will definitely not be kept~" Ning Ze said, "But there is one thing that is more important than the name festival, and you have to try to protect it." ”
Zhou Ya was silent, just glaring at Ning Ze.
"If I were a general, I wouldn't think about my name first. Ning Ze said, "The general set up a bureau to lure Tang Niu, causing him to be defeated and injured. It is inferred from Gu that when Tang Niu is angry, he will inevitably be angry with the general's wife and children......"
"If it weren't for the prince's calculations against the foreign ministers, how could this be?" Zhou Ya clenched his fists.
"You don't count Lonely, why do you count Lonely?" Ning Ze said with a smile, "It's like this on the battlefield, and I can't avoid it." In short, if you don't do anything now, the general's family will definitely die! General Nian has made great contributions, as long as he sincerely attaches himself, he can contact the fine work lurking in Bian Zhou to rescue the general's family. From then on, the general has been a member of our country, and he can be reunited with his family, and he has a bright future! Of course, if the general insists on begging for death, he will be alone! It's just that the poor family is buried with innocent people, and the general can't clear the name of a traitor. The family survived, assisted the Chinese country to unify the world, personally wrote history to correct his name, or died generously, carried the infamy of a traitor forever, and let his family and relatives die in humiliation, but you have to think clearly! Now that the general's back road is broken, even if Lone is willing to let go, Tang Niu will not believe you, and he can't wait to break your body into ten thousand pieces!"
Zhou Ya wanted to say that he was not afraid of death, but he remembered that his family would also be innocently implicated, and once he died, he would never be able to clear the name of betrayal, and his heart was extremely entangled.
After a long time, he slowly released his clenched fists, and asked with some grunt: "Is the prince sure that he will rescue the foreign minister's family safely?"
"The general can rest assured!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "As long as the solitary arrangement continues, there are countless ways to bring people back." However, the general needs to make a decision early, and he must rush before Tang Niu gives the order, so that we can receive the news carefully!"
