was killed by Ning Ze and saved Dewey for a while, and the three-way soldiers and horses retreated into Bashui County.

Chu Bai asked Su Jun: "Ning Ze was not dragged in Miao County by the Futu Army, why did he suddenly appear in the rear and launch a surprise attack?"

Su Jun hurriedly said: "The enemy army is wearing wooden armor and is invulnerable, it seems that the fierce kite is invincible, and Ning Ze has already been surrendered!"

"Didn't Brother Su say that the moth ghost thief is difficult to deal with?" Chu Bai was puzzled.

"Could it be that Brother Chu didn't find that Ning Zejun was particularly fierce on the battlefield today?" Su Bai asked rhetorically, "If there is no Futu Armor, how can it be like this?"

"Two adults!" Gormon hurriedly said, "At this time, we should discuss how to deal with Ning Ze's soldiers and horses. On the battlefield, our army attacked, and did little damage to the enemy. ”

Chu Bai felt that it made sense, and hurriedly asked Su Jun: "Brother Su has been confronting the moth ghost thief for several years, this floating armor is invulnerable, how to win?"

Su Jun replied: "Although the Futu armor is invulnerable, there are places that cannot be protected, such as the neck, ribs, and armpits. Hitting it with a long soldier can also work. Secondly, when Li Kite fights with our army, he avoids all open and dark fires, and fights on water, flat ground and other places without grass and trees, obviously this thing is afraid of fire!"

Chu Bai nodded when he heard this: "Huo Kemu, it makes sense! It seems that if you want to break the Futu Army, you need to attack with fire!"

"It's just that Li Kite surrendered to Ning Ze, Ning Ze must know that the Futu Armor is afraid of fire, and it is not easy for our side to attack with fire!" Su Jun frowned, "How can we successfully use the fire plan when the other party knows that the Futu Armor is afraid of fire?"

The two looked at each other, thinking secretly.

At this time, Xu Yan behind Gormont spoke: "There is a snake valley nearby, and the terrain is complicated. If you place something that ignites fire in the valley in advance, so that people can lead Ning Ze's army inside, you can attack it with fire!"

Chu Bai's eyes lit up when he heard this: "This matter is easy! You can send a general to lead the troops into battle, feign defeat and lure Ning Ze." ”

"As long as the enemy army enters the Snake Valley, they can use the fire strategy. Su Jun said, "The Futu armor is afraid of fire, but our army is not afraid, and when the time comes, it will be surrounded and destroyed in one fell swoop!"

After discussion, Xu Yan led the troops out of the north gate and went around to the Snake Valley to prepare in advance.

Chu Bai sent the general Cao Boyan out of the city and led his troops to attack Ning Ze's army.

Knowing that the enemy army was in battle, Dewey immediately said: "Big brother, little brother is willing to lead the troops to break the enemy!"

"You and I are brothers!" Ning Ze personally led the troops, went out with Dewey, and led the soldiers and horses to meet the battle.

In front of the two armies, Cao Boyan rushed out on horseback, Dewey met head-on, and within three rounds, Cao Boyan turned around and ran.

Ning Ze saw that the other party was feinting, but ordered the whole army to pursue.

Chasing all the way into the Snake Valley, the fire broke out all around, and Chu Bai, Su Jun, and Gormon led the troops to kill from all around, and rockets shot everywhere.

If it was Li Kite's Futu army, it would definitely turn around and retreat, and flee in defeat. However, the armor worn by this Futu army was all coated with fireproof paint, and Ning Ze gave an order, and the army lined up to meet the enemy, ordering miscellaneous servants to extinguish the surrounding fires, and the main force to shoot at the enemy.

Su Jun was shocked, and couldn't understand why the enemy army was not afraid of fire attacks, obviously what the Futu army was most afraid of was the fire plan, otherwise why would Li Kite be so guarded?

The two armies fought, and Ning Ze's army was neat and well-organized, and responded calmly.

The damage caused by the three-way coalition to this army is limited, but the opponent is extremely fierce, as difficult to stop as mowing grass, not to mention that there are two fierce generals, Dewey and Wang Wei, who rushed left and right.

Under the fierce battle, the coalition forces were defeated.

Chu Bai, Su Jun, and Gormon hurriedly led their troops to retreat, and fled back to Bashui County in a panic.

The coalition forces suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, and only a few of the more unlucky soldiers of the Ning Ze Army were shot in the neck and died, which was almost negligible.

Retreating into the city of Bashui County, Chu Bai said: "Didn't Brother Su say that Futu Armor was afraid of fire, why did Ning Zejun not mess up in the face of the fire plan, and the rocket was quickly extinguished, and it didn't work at all!"

Su Jun sighed: "Li Kite's Futu Army is indeed afraid of fire, but what I saw today is that Ning Ze's army is completely different. Of course, the other party also has a means of coping, and the miscellaneous servants have used earth and rocks to extinguish the flames. It's just that the Futu armor was shot and didn't burn, it must have done something to it!"

"How to break the enemy now?" Chu Bai frowned, "The Futu armor is invulnerable, and the vital points are well protected, and the fire plan can't be effective, so there's nothing to be done!"

Su Jun and Chu Bai had big eyes and small eyes, and both of them had no idea.

Xu Yan offered advice: "That Ning Ze was in a high position at a young age, won the two states of Jin and Han, and now he has won many victories, and his morale is booming. It is not advisable to fight at this moment. It is better to send an envoy to send some gold and silver treasures, and then lower his posture and say some kind words to persuade him to withdraw from the army. ”

"Ridiculous!" Chu Bai patted the case, "If this is the case, everyone in the world will laugh at us and others." ”

"The eldest husband can bend and stretch, and besides, it's just an expedient measure!" Xu Yan said, "Two envoys, if a few gold and silver treasures can drag Ning Ze and make him retreat, we will have enough time to think about how to break the enemy!"

"Do you want this official to give in to him?" Chu Bai said coldly, "It's impossible!"

So he didn't listen to Xu Yan's strategy.

Ning Zejun won a great victory in Snake Valley and sent Du Wangwei to lead troops to surround Bashui County.

The pressure on the coalition forces to defend the city was enormous, and each attack of the Futu army caused a large number of casualties to the coalition army, while the opponent suffered little losses.

In comparison, the pressure is enormous.

After holding on for a few days, Chu Bai finally compromised: "Although I know that the Futu armor is critical, it is difficult to hit on the battlefield, and the soldiers have not been trained in a targeted manner, so it is difficult to succeed." If it continues like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to defend the city......"

"Envoy," Xu Yan said, "It's better to send some gold and silver treasures to coax Ning Ze to withdraw first, and then think of countermeasures!"

This time, Chu Bai did not refute.

So the envoy of the coalition army quickly left the city with several boxes of gold and silver treasures and came to meet in front of the Ning Ze camp.

Ning Ze asked the envoy to enter the account, and asked with a smile: "When the two armies were fighting, Your Excellency came to our barracks, and you were not afraid of death?"

The envoy replied: "The two armies will not fight and will not come to the envoy, the name of Princess Yuanxi's benevolence and righteousness is known to the world, presumably Ning Zhonglang will not be embarrassed to go down!"

Ning Ze smiled when he heard this: "The envoy is coming, could it be that he is not defeated by our army, and he came to ask for surrender?"

The envoy hurriedly replied: "Ning Zhonglang's soldiers are strong and strong, and it is difficult for our army to match them. In fact, we have no grudge against Ning Zhonglang, so why should we fight each other? Princess Yuanxi and His Majesty are both royal nobles, so how can they kill each other?"

"Your army sent troops to attack my Jinzhou, do you take into account the feelings of your sister and brother?" Ning Ze asked.

The messenger replied, "This is your Majesty's decision, and it is not for us to put your beak in the place." We admire Ning Zhonglang so much, I dare not offend Zhonglang Huwei, and I will send thousands of taels of gold, silk brocade, antiquities and cultural toys, please Zhonglang smile!"

With a wave of his hand, the attendant immediately lifted the boxes up and opened them one by one.

Ning Ze glanced over and laughed: "Is your army going to send me away with this little thing?"

"If Ning Zhonglang feels that it is not enough, he will report to a few adults after the official goes back and then make a decision. The messenger said, "As long as Zhonglang can put away the tiger power, gold and silver treasures are not a problem." Please open a golden mouth, we try to satisfy. ”

"Big brother, the city is about to be destroyed, how can you withdraw because of a few boxes of gold and silver?" Dewey said hurriedly.

Ning Ze nodded: "Indeed, you can't retire because of a few boxes of gold and silver! After you go back, tell Chu Bai and Su Jun that if you can satisfy me, it won't be a problem to let them go!"

"Big brother!" Dewey was anxious, and was about to speak but was stopped by Ning Ze.

The messenger left behind the gold and silver treasures, and bowed and retreated with his attendants.

When the envoy left, Dewey hurriedly said to Ning Ze: "Big brother, you have Jin and Han Prefectures, what is this money? Seeing that Bashui County is about to be attacked, why are you confused by it?"

Ning Ze laughed and said: "Virtuous brother, don't be anxious, the eldest brother knows it in his heart! The other party is just a delaying tactic, I won't be fooled." The siege soldiers were tired for days, so they took the opportunity to rest, recuperate, and then go all out to break through Bashui County!"

"It turns out that the eldest brother has been prepared," Dewey was relieved and relieved.

The envoy returned to Bashui County and brought Ning Ze's words.

Chu Bai said angrily: "Ning Ze is so greedy, it's really hateful!"

Su Jun said: "Greed is the best, it can be dragged down with money, so that we have more time to think about how to retreat from the enemy." If the other party doesn't accept it, then it's a headache!"

"That's true!" Xu Yan said, "The other party is willing to accept the gold and silver and temporarily suspend the army, our goal has been achieved." ”

"It's just that Ning Ze didn't say clearly, how much gold and silver can satisfy him?" Chu Bai frowned.

Xu Yan thought for a moment and said, "A little gold and silver is not a problem. As long as you delay time and think of a strategy, you can get it back when you defeat Ning Ze. ”

"That's just as well. Su Jun nodded, "Then prepare more gold and silver, and stabilize him first." ”

"Wait!" Xu Yan suddenly had an idea, "Ning Ze is young and vigorous, I heard that he once captured a female general before the battle and wanted to take her as his wife. It can be seen that this person is not only greedy for money, but also a woman. If you send a stunning woman over, it may have a miraculous effect. ”

"Beauty plan?" Chu Bai pinched his chin and thought carefully, "Indeed, Ning Ze is not married at such an age, and the beauty plan can work." Is there anyone to choose from?"

Gormont said: "The daughter of the county is twenty-eight years old, and she is beautiful and beautiful. And he is smart, and he can use it!"

So he asked Xu Yan to invite Jun Cheng Xia to come over and explain the matter to him.

Xia Xun was shocked and hurriedly knelt down and begged to let his daughter go.

Gormont persuaded him many times, but Xia Xun refused to comply, so he was furious and ordered someone to strip off his official uniform and put him in prison.

Xia Yu, the daughter of Xia Xun, learned of this and begged to see Gormont and beg to spare her father, expressing her willingness to go to the enemy camp.

Gormont had Xia Shun released, reinstated his officials, and rewarded him heavily. Then let the envoy take Xia Yu and a large amount of gold and silver treasures to the Ningze military camp again.

The envoy came to Ning Ze and said respectfully: "Ning Zhonglang, there are two thousand taels of yellow turbans and a number of treasures, which are the intentions of the two envoys. The Mansion Zun offered a beautiful woman and ordered her to serve Zhonglang around, please smile!"

The attendants brought gold and silver treasures, as well as maidens with them.

The girl did not have any cowardice in the face of the Jinzhou soldiers, stepped forward to bow to Yingying, bowed her head and said: "People's girl Xia Yu, meet Ning Zhonglang!"

Xia Yu is indeed outstanding, and the eyes of all the big men in the tent are straight, and even Wang Wei takes a few more looks.

Dewey, who was standing beside Ning Ze, was also a little trance-like when he saw this woman who was about the same age as himself.
