Such a formation was something they had never seen before. It looked weak and scattered, but once they fought, it was like maggots on the tarsus and could not be shaken off.

Jiang Ning was guarded by four squads in the center, directing the battle. After a quarter of an hour, everything he could see was full of smoke. Once the food and fodder of a hundred thousand troops were ignited, it was not easy to extinguish it.

"The man in the middle is the leader, kill him, kill him..." Someone discovered Jiang Ning's position and directed the men behind him to rush toward Jiang Ning.

But most of the people were still stopped on the road by the small team. When they ran out of bows and arrows, they used long knives. The three of them worked together as one, and they were able to get out of the way quickly even if they were surrounded.

"Withdraw..." Jiang Ning gave the order, and the ten battalion commanders commanded their troops to retreat. When everyone saw how powerful their combat effectiveness was, their morale also greatly increased, and their combat effectiveness increased by more than 20%.

After hearing the news, some people who were greedy for power wanted to kill a few more, but there were two brothers behind them, so they had to retreat.

Everyone mounted their horses and fled toward the mountains to the west. Xu Xuanjie rushed over and led five thousand people in pursuit.

After a fierce battle, after dozens of riders were left behind, they stopped chasing, turned around and went back to put out the fire.

Over there, Shi Bao led his men to kill the general. The frontline soldiers didn't know why the fire broke out in the rear. In addition, Shi Bao came out for the second time. Everyone could think that something happened to the camp. In a hurry, he was not interested in fighting, dragging his knife.

He Zirong then left. He Zirong never dreamed that something happened to the camp. He wanted to take Luzhou City in one go, but now it was impossible. He shouted gold behind him and hurriedly retreated.

"Stop..." He Zirong led his troops back to the formation, and Shi Bao tightened the reins and raised his hand to stop the army's attack: "Go back to the city..."

Along the way, he collected countless weapons and returned to the city in triumph.

When Xu Xuanjie returned to the army, Ning Que had already asked Ning Yuanwen to organize a rescue operation. He Zirong came over cursing, and Zhu Kui was seriously injured. An arrow passed through his chest. His life or death was still uncertain.

Ning Yuanwu repelled Si Xingfang's attack, adjusted his defense, and returned to the army camp.

Before the smoke cleared, the two sides decided to fight. Ning Que personally interrogated the three people captured by Xu Xuanjie, who had the courage to sneak attack on his back camp.

Ghosts cried and wolves howled all night, and Ning Que's eyes were already covered with bloodshot eyes. Xu Xuanjie and Ning Que stood outside the tent, looking at the stars in the sky, and couldn't help but reminisce about the past.

In Xu Xuanjie's heart, he still hopes that Ning Que can think more about the Ning family and himself, but he also knows that once Ning Que arrives, rebellion will no longer be possible, but things are not without improvement.

"This man's name is Jiang Ning, and people in the Jianghu community say he has everything in his sleeves." Xu Xuanjie said, "I didn't expect that a sneak attack by a Jianghu person would succeed."

"Group of three is indeed a good idea, but it's still a matter of striking an egg against a stone." Ning Que said expressionlessly.

"Yes, according to their explanation, they only have a thousand people. Today's sneak attack just took advantage. There are more than two hundred people left, and we only lost five hundred. But we still have tens of thousands of troops, and they only have a mere

There are eight hundred people. Next time, no, there won’t be another time." Xu Xuanjie narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

"It looks ordinary, but in fact it is not. Is this Jiang Ning really a Jianghu person?" Ning Que was a little puzzled: "Tan Zhen is also an expert in using troops. How could he release a thousand people? How did they get out?

?”

"But these are not important anymore. Let everyone gather together. I have military orders." Ning Que said, turned around and entered the tent again.

"He Zirong, I order you to be the vanguard officer, command 20,000 troops, make fires at the third watch, cook at the fifth watch, send troops at dawn, and then attack the south gate."

"Ning Yuanwu, I have ordered you to be the deputy general and command 10,000 troops to protect the east side of the camp to avoid enemy attacks."

"Ning Yuanwen, I will name you a partial general and command ten thousand troops to protect the north side of the camp to prevent enemy troops from attacking."

"Zhang Xiaochang, I will name you the general and command 30,000 troops. We will feign an attack from the west city to lure the enemy out. Remember, do not attack by force. Once the enemy troops come out, immediately support the south of the city and launch a general attack."

"Wu Jiuzhang, I order you to be the general, command 10,000 troops, lead archers and trebuchets, and cover the siege."

"The remaining 10,000 troops will be led by me personally. When Zirong turned to attack, the army pressed forward and attacked Luzhou." Ning Que gave orders in the Chinese army tent and handed over the military orders one by one: "In addition, I am here

The news must not be spread out, and anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."

"Yes..." After receiving the order, all the soldiers went to prepare. It was already midnight, and the general attack was only three hours away.

"Brother, this..." Ning Yuanwu frowned and whispered to Ning Yuanwen.

"There's nothing we can do. The matter has come to this. If we don't take action, I'm afraid the Ning family army will explain it here. Should we find the teacher..." Ning Yuanwen clenched his fists and seemed to have made up his mind.

Ning Yuanwu shook his head: "Teacher has been with my father for thirty years. How can he be angry with you and me when my father is here? If you ask me, I will take it directly. When the time comes, I won't be afraid of his disapproval."

"I'll do as you say. Call some generals and I'll arrange the manpower here." Ning Yuanwen nodded.

As soon as Ning Yuanwu stepped forward, he saw Ning Que already standing outside the account. He stepped forward and took Ning Yuanwu directly.

When Ning Yuanwen heard the noise, he felt that something was wrong, but he saw Ning Yuanwu being tied up from the left and right outside the tent. The matter was revealed, and he hurriedly ran from behind to the tent, only to see He Zirong leading a team of people to arrest him.

More than twenty swordsmen and axemen were tied to the ground.

"My lord, the general already knows about your matter." He Zirong frowned and waved his hand.

"Teacher, you betray me..." Ning Yuanwen shouted three times, but he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Xu Xuanjie in the tent was heartbroken when he heard this sound. The tea cup in his hand fell to the ground, and he hurriedly held the pillar behind him with his hands before he stood firm and did not fall.

"Do you have evidence?" Ning Que asked Xu Xuanjie for the last time before giving the order: "Do you know that these two are your students, my blood, and the future heirs of Ningshan Mansion."

Xu Xuanjie knelt on the ground: "I know that the general and I have the kindness of knowing each other. Tomorrow I will retire and return to my hometown. I will not care about worldly affairs. I can win Luzhou just by talking and laughing with the general."

"You and I have been friends for thirty years, so you can rest assured that I won't do anything to you." Ning Que closed his eyes tightly: "In the future, I hope you can assist them and not let Ningshan Mansion be burdened by traitors.

.”

"After this incident, the two young masters will no longer trust me. He Xing was suppressed by me for ten years just so that he could take over my position. This person's strategy and scheming are superior to mine, and he is a loyal person. I hope

The general knows people well and can handle them well." Xu Xuanjie kowtowed.

"You go down first and we'll talk about it later..." Ning Que waved his hand.

Xu Xuanjie exited the tent, and his hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

The two scouts behind him saluted and walked in front of Xu Xuan's steps. Outside the camp on the east side, a carriage traveled quietly in the dark and disappeared into the night.

Ning Que turned around and sighed. Although he couldn't bear it in his heart, you had already turned against him.
