Han Guan really followed Xiahou Wan's advice, went to Zhao Chen's camp and said to his face: "There is civil strife in Lingshan County, we must return immediately." Brother Zhao forgives his sins!"

Zhao Chen did not suspect it, and allowed Han Guan to lead his troops to retreat, and continued to attack Chu Bai jointly with Cheng Wan.

Han Guan retreated and returned to Lingshan County, but did not enter the city, but went directly north to attack Ning'an County.

Ning An Taishou Huang Xia immediately convened his subordinates to discuss: "I have no grievances with Han Guan, this person fought against Chu Bai before, and suddenly withdrew to Ning An, there must be a reason!"

"Mansion Honor!" said the elder Lin Damu, "Han Guan's visit here is indeed strange! The lower official feels that this matter has nothing to do with Ning Ze. Ning Ze occupies Yiyang, he must have sent someone to contact Han Guan and make him send troops to Ning'an, wanting to outflank him before and after!"

"I heard that Ning Ze is proficient in spells, and the Futu saber is invulnerable, so it is not easy to deal with. Now that Han Guan is helping, what can I do?" Huang Xia frowned.

"Why don't you ask the young envoy for help?" Lin Damu suggested.

Huang Xia shook his head: "The young envoy retreats to Boping County, even if he sends troops, it will be too late." What's more, Yiyang is occupied by Ning Ze, and the young envoy Jun leads troops to help, and it is possible to be intercepted by him. ”

"Ning Ze's army hasn't left Yiyang yet, why don't you send troops to defeat Han Guan first?" Lin Damu thought for a while and made a suggestion.

Huang Xia said: "No, Han Guan led the troops to attack, if it was Ning Ze's strategy, I am afraid that he would be deliberately lured." If our army attacks Han Guan, the rear will inevitably be lost. ”

"How can this be good?" Lin Damu was a little worried.

Huang Xia thought for a while, and then said: "For the sake of safety, stick to the city!" No matter whether Han Guan or Ning Ze attack, as long as they are held back, the young envoy will definitely find an opportunity to attack from the rear and solve the Ning'an dilemma!"

"But if we help the third prince seize Ning'an and Yiyang, how can the young envoy come to the rescue?" Lin Damu said worriedly.

"Stupid! It is a family matter for several sons to fight. It doesn't hurt to fight with your family behind closed doors, if outsiders come to seize the foundation, of course, they will unanimously go to the outside world, and the young envoy will definitely send troops to rescue him!" Huang Xia said affirmatively, "In short, don't pay attention to Han Guan, our army can stick to the city!"

So there was no action in Ning'an City, and he didn't pay attention to Han Guan at all, and continued to stick to the city.

Xiahou returned to Yiyang and informed Han Guan of his actions. Ning Ze rewarded Xiahou Hata and ordered people to pay close attention to Ning An's dynamics.

The news came back that although Han Guan arrived in Ning'an County and was marching to the county seat, Huang Xia did not have a plan and continued to hold on to the city.

Xiahou saw that his plan was unsuccessful, so he said to Ning Ze: "Huang Xia is really cautious, it is difficult to deceive him. It is better to send troops to attack Ning'an with Han Guan and look for opportunities. ”

Ning Ze didn't want to delay time, so he immediately raised troops and slaughtered Ning'an County.

Han Guan arrived in Ning'an first, and when he saw that Huang Xia did not go out of the city to fight, he called for battle at the west gate.

Huang Xia defended on the city wall and did not come out, and the two armies were deadlocked.

Hearing that Ning Zejun set off from Yiyang and came towards Ning'an, Han Guan wanted to make a contribution before the other party arrived, so he led his troops to attack.

I have to say that Huang Xia's defense of the city is still very strong, and the two sides fought fiercely for several times, and Han Guan was completely unable to attack the city, and even suffered heavy losses.

He became more and more impatient the more he fought, and Huang Xia did fight more and more steadily, and the balance of advantage quickly tilted towards Huang Xia.

The more anxious Han Guan is, the more he has no way to take Huang Xia.

The two sides were in a stalemate for several days, and Ning Ze's army finally arrived.

The east gate was attacked, and the pressure increased suddenly, Huang Xia hurriedly divided his troops to garrison, leaving the deputy general to guard the west gate, and personally sat at the east gate.

In fact, Huang Xia was quite worried in his heart, after all, the rumors said that Ning Ze was very godly, and it seemed that he could call the wind and rain and manipulate the thunder.

Ning Ze's army arrived under the city gate, and Huang Xia stood at the head of the city to watch.

"That person is Huang Xia!" "Jiang Xu, the commander who accompanied the army, stretched out his hand to Huang Xia and said to Ning Ze.

Ning Ze and Huang Xia looked at each other, and immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Ning Ze, the lieutenant general of the Dacheng Dian Army, is here! Huang Xia, quickly open the city and surrender!"

Hearing this, Huang Xia stood on the city wall and shouted: "Princess Yuanxi vainly claimed benevolence and righteousness, but sent troops to invade Liangzhou. What you do today will be laughed at by the people of the world!"

"Bold!" Jiang Xu raised his head and shouted.

Ning Ze raised his hand to stop Jiang Xu from continuing to speak, asked him to step back, and shouted to Huang Xia: "My lord Rende is in the Quartet, so Sun Jun asked for help, and only then did he send troops to Liangzhou to quell the chaos!

"Nonsense!!" Huang Xia's eyes glared angrily.

"Huang Taishou, I advise you to open the city gate early and surrender, don't make senseless resistance!" Ning Ze shouted, "Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

"I heard that Jinzhou Ning Ze is proficient in spells, this official wants to see and understand!" Huang Xia gave an order, and the soldiers in the city carried out several wooden barrels, which seemed to be filled with liquid, "Look at this official to break your demon magic!"

"Ning Zhonglang be careful, I'm afraid that there is black dog blood in that bucket. Jiang Xu hurriedly said.

Ning Ze was stunned when he heard this, and smiled secretly in his heart.

Legend has it that the black dog's blood specializes in spells, but the problem is that he doesn't know spells at all, everything is a system function, and it's strange that the black dog's blood is useful.

Besides, I wouldn't be stupid enough to rush under the city wall and let them splash. Charging into battle is the business of military generals, but he is a civilian official.

Since the other party wants to see the technique, then satisfy them.

Ning Ze summoned his subordinates to explain a few words and asked to raise the hot air balloon.

First, to frustrate the enemy's morale, and second, to check the layout of the city's defenses, so that it is convenient to target the weak points of the defense and attack. Or find another way to capture Ning'an County.

After receiving the order, the hot air balloon was raised from the rear, and the scout took it into the air and flew towards Ning'an County.

"Hex! It's hex!"

"What's that? It's coming this way!"

"Boats, why can ships fly into the sky?"

"It's really a witch!"

......

The city was in chaos, and the defenders reacted similarly to the first time they saw the hot air balloon.

"Don't panic!" Huang Xia was also frightened, but quickly regained his composure and shouted loudly, "I will wait for the black dog blood, and when it approaches, I will splash it with the black dog blood, but I can break the demon law!"

The subordinates were a little relieved, and they were all ready for black dog blood to wait.

However, the hot air balloon is extremely high above, and it only looks at the fortifications in the city from a high position, and does not fall. It is impossible for their black dog blood to be splashed that high.

However, the scouts recorded the fortification structure in the city and threw a few phosphorus powder jars directly into the city wall, which made the defenders of the city very frightened.

"Demon fire! Demon fire ——!"

"It's witchcraft!"

"Quick! splash it with black dog blood!"

......

The soldiers poured the blood of the black dog on the phosphorus fire, and only after destroying it one after another were they relieved.

The hot air balloon flew around the head of Ning'an City, returned to the camp with the specific city defense map, and handed it over to Ning Ze.

Huang Xia is really good at defense, and there is no loophole in the city, and it is completely impossible to take advantage of a weak point to get in.

The opponent is heavily defended, and if you want to use the ladder or the city cart to break through, even the Futu army will have to pay a huge price.

The main city wall is full of tung oil, hot gold juice, falling rocks, sassal wood and other powerful fortification props, and the floating armor is invulnerable, but it can't stop these things from smashing on the head.

Especially the golden juice, that thing is terrifying. In fact, it's boiling and urine, and it stinks. Not to mention the direct burns on the body, it can also make the soldier's wound infected, which is basically not cured, and he can only wait for death.

I don't know who came up with such a disgusting and vicious prop to defend the city.

For Ning Ze, each of them is a treasure, and it is impossible to fill it with his life like an ordinary soldier.

On the other side of the east gate, Han Guan did not have such concerns, and was leading a large army to storm and fight fiercely with the defenders.

"Ning Zhonglang, the last general will ask for battle!" Captain Jiang Xu took the initiative to ask for help in order to make meritorious service.

Ning Ze waved his hand and said: "Huang Xia is good at defense, if he attacks strongly, he will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, not what I want!"

Jiang Xu said: "There is plenty of grain and grass in Ning'an City, if it doesn't succeed, Huang Xia will definitely keep delaying, which is not good for our army!"

"Hmm......" Ning Ze nodded and thought for a moment, "It's okay, you can use a strategy to attack the heart and make it internal strife!"

"What is the strategy to attack the heart?" Jiang Xu asked curiously.

Ning Ze smiled slightly: "As long as the civil and military officials, the soldiers defending the city, and all the people in the city panic, no matter how great Huang Xia's ability is, it is useless!

"Ning Zhonglang already has a plan?"

"Of course!" Ning Ze ordered, quickly took all the paper and pen from the military supplies, mobilized the strategists and civilian officials around him, and wrote a proclamation to persuade him to surrender. The content of the proclamation is very simple, those who resist will break through the city without leaving a single one, and all of them will be beheaded! Those who take the initiative to surrender to Cheng, or overthrow Huang Xia, and help Ning Ze's army enter the city, will be rewarded heavily. Let the officials, soldiers, and people in the city make a choice within the time limit, if they are obsessed, they will summon thunder to completely destroy Ning'an City!

In fact, it is intimidation and temptation, of course Ning Ze can't really summon thunder, if he has that kind of strength, he still needs to be so troublesome?

But the other party didn't know, and he had experienced the matter of Dongmen Dituo and Zhu Shenxian, and Ning Ze had already been passed on to him outside. Although most people still don't believe it, there are also those who believe in this and have a sense of fear for Ning Ze.

If you can succeed, maybe you don't have to do it yourself, and Ning'an City will be in chaos. Even if it doesn't succeed, it can greatly intimidate all the people in the city, demoralize them, and even make them suspicious of each other.

The proclamation of surrender was almost filled with hot air balloon frames, and the soldiers in charge of controlling it flew over Ning'an City. While flying, he spilled a proclamation to surrender,

Blank sheets of paper full of words fell from the sky, like snowflakes falling, and the scene was particularly amazing.

When Huang Xia saw this, he hurriedly ordered: "This is a plan of the enemy's army, immediately send someone to collect it, and no one is allowed to check it privately! Also, it is forbidden for the people to pick it up!"

Although the majority of people were illiterate in this era, and ordinary people generally could not read documents, there were many literate literati in the city of Nuoda. The most feared thing is word of mouth and causing confusion.

Huang Xia's order was completely correct, but a large number of troops were stationed at the city gates, and the number of troops that could be dispatched was really limited. In addition, the hot air balloon threw a proclamation from the air, and the paper flew everywhere, and it was basically impossible to chase one without falling.

It didn't take long for the city of Ning'an to be scattered everywhere, with rooftops, streets, flowers and trees, ponds, and bridges everywhere, and even many of them flew into residents' homes with the wind and entered through open windows.

Even though the people sent by Huang Xia waved around, many curious defenders and ordinary people still saw the content of the proclamation.

Some were frightened by the proclamation, and some were moved by the huge reward offered in the proclamation.
