After getting the blood of the black dog, Zheng Mian advanced to Ningze's army.

Ning Ze ordered a retreat but did not confront Zheng Mian's troops head-on.

The commander-in-chief Jin Rong said to his left and right: "Ningze knows that our army is coming with black dog blood, and is afraid of retreating!"

Immediately ordered the entire army to advance.

Ningze's army retreated all the way to Pingcheng Cave and set up defenses on both sides of the mountains and narrow valleys.

Jin Rong led his troops over and saw Ning Ze defending Pingcheng Cave from a high place, and ordered an attack.

When he rushed to the front, Ning Ze gave the order, he pushed out a large number of crossbows behind him, dozens of times larger than bamboo crossbows and required several people to operate. He used sharpened wood as shells, which was amazingly powerful.

Before the opponent's cavalry rushed to the front of the formation, countless crossbows fired rapidly, and instantly they were on their backs and overturned.

The crossbow cannon is powerful and can easily penetrate armor and war horses, with amazing lethality. Even if it is not shot, a large piece of wood will fly over and it will be difficult to hit.

At the same time, tens of thousands of crossbow soldiers used bamboo crossbows to shoot dense rain of arrows.

After charging several times, there was no way to penetrate the crossbowmen and shoot alternately, let alone the amazingly powerful crossbow cannons.

The opponent was condescending, and it was difficult for Jin Rong's archers to shoot at the opponent.

Faced with such a disadvantage, Jin Rong could only stop the offensive for the time being, lead the army to retreat and distance, and first set up the camp to think about countermeasures.

Liang Qiusui, a subordinate of Jin Rong, suggested: "Our army has obtained the black blood and can break Ningze's magic. The opponent can only use the terrain of Pingcheng Cave to confront our army. Although Pingcheng Cave has a steep terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has lush grass and trees. Ningze seeks death! The general can order soldiers to repair it during the day, bring wood and tung oil at night, and break it with fire!"

Jin Rong was overjoyed and followed Liang Qiusui's plan and sent people to prepare wood and tung oil, but he would not march for the time being.

At night, he ordered his deputy general Ran Cao to lead his troops around the Jinzhou soldiers' checkpoint and prepare to burn Pingcheng Cave.

Ran Chao led two thousand soldiers, carrying horses and picking bells, and secretly walked around the mountain road on the side of Pingcheng Cave, preparing to set fire to the mountain.

However, just as I arrived, I suddenly heard crying everywhere, and countless white shadows swayed in the darkness.

Wherever the white shadow goes, ghost fire is everywhere.

With the light of fire, I saw green faces and fangs, extremely ferocious.

The ancients were the most superstitious. They all were scared, including Ran Cao, and they didn't dare to set fires. They turned around and ran away.

Halfway through the escape, suddenly the Jinzhou troops broke out from both sides, and the leader was Gong Pei.

Ran Cao's troops were defeated and were directly captured.

After catching Ran Cao, the white shadows rushed down and came to Gong Pei.

The person in charge was the ghost-faced general Wang Wei: "General Pei, please ask Sun Yan to take them back to the camp, and we will attack the enemy camp at night!"

"Okay!" He handed over the captured Ran Cao and his subordinates to Sun Yan. Gong Pei cooperated with Wang Wei to send troops quickly and quietly rushed to the enemy camp.

Sun Yan sent the prisoners back to the camp and escorted Ran Cao into the head coach's tent.

After Ran Cao came in, he took the initiative to kneel down and shout for help.

This guy has both military power and attributes above 60, so he is considered a relatively mediocre general. His loyalty seems to be low. Judging from his attitude, he should be able to persuade him to surrender.

Although he looked down on his attributes, after all, there was no one available in his hands, so Ning Ze asked, "Are you willing to surrender?"

"Ran Cao wishes to surrender!" Ran Cao was very decisive and kowtowed quickly.

Ning Ze clearly saw that his power was transformed into Liu Yuanxiang's army, so it would be better if he had falsely surrendered.

After changing the camp, Ran Cao's loyalty was only 35 points, which was very low and it was easy to betray.

But thinking about it, he was forced to surrender to save his life after being captured. How loyal can he be?

For Ning Ze, this is not a problem.

He then stood up and walked to Ran Cao, and personally relaxed his ties with a gentle smile: "It is a great honor to be able to join the general! I have Huajun specialty peach blossom wine, and I am willing to drink it with the general!"

Ran Cao was flattered and thanked him repeatedly.

Ning Ze took out a jar of peach blossom wine and ordered the wine and food to be served.

Ran Cao didn't expect such good treatment. He was so nervous that he felt hungry, so he swallowed it voraciously.

Seeing his loyalty increase rapidly, reaching 59 points, Ning Zexin said that there is a system in it, and there is no need to worry about low loyalty. Peach Blossom Wine is also classified as a famous product, and it can increase a lot of loyalty after reward. Moreover, there are so many of these things, which are the cheapest but most practical famous product to improve loyalty.

When Ran Cao had almost finished his meal, Ning Ze said, "General Ran will be a captain when he comes to our army. When he makes contributions, he will be rewarded. It is natural to get the position of general at that time."

Ran Cao was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately clasped his fists: "The military advisor treats each other like this, Cao is very grateful!"

Loyalty increased by several points to 62.

Ning Ze nodded: "Can the general persuade the two thousand soldiers to surrender to join our army? If it succeeds, he will remember one great achievement."

Ran Cao immediately agreed and accompanied Sun Yan to the prisoner camp and persuaded the two thousand soldiers to surrender.

These two thousand soldiers were all brought up by him, so there is no difficulty. They all served as soldiers and ate food, so who did they work differently?

So two thousand prisoners were successfully incorporated.

When he came back to report, Ning Ze rewarded Ran Cao with ten gold.

Ran Cao's loyalty increased again, reaching 67 points.

On the other side, Mr. Pei and Wang Wei led their troops to approach the enemy camp quietly.

Mr. Pei first hid in the spot, and Wang Wei, a team wearing a white robe and a ghost mask, approached quietly. He suddenly made strange screams at a safe distance that the archers could not shoot, and at the same time spread the phosphor powder that Ning Ze gave them.

The ignition point of phosphorus powder is very low. It burns after contacting the air and spreads in the air like ghost fire, floating in the air.

In addition, Wang Wei and his subordinates pretended to be ghosts and shouted and jumped. All the patrol soldiers in the enemy camp were frightened and quickly reported to the chief general.

Jin Rong didn't believe in ghosts, so he led civil and military officials out and saw ghost fires floating all over the sky, and countless ghosts "floating" not far from the camp, and he was also very scared.

These ghosts quickly disappeared, including the ghost fire gradually dissipating.

After a while, I found ghost fire and ghosts in other directions, and hurried over to check and disappeared quickly.

After several consecutive times, Jin Rong felt scared.

At this time, some of the ghosts that appeared again shouted that they were so unfair to die.

Countless white-clothed "ghosts" were crying and howling, running around the camp.

"Could Ran Cao be dead?" Jin Rong had goose bumps all over his body, and he hurriedly ordered the entire army to retreat.

When the army turned around and evacuated towards Gaoli, Pei Gong suddenly led his troops out and ordered all the soldiers to shout: "Jin Rong died here!"

The cry was shaking, and it was unclear how many soldiers and horses the other party was in the dark, and there were "ghosts" wandering around. Jin Rong led the army to panic and ran faster than rabbits.

Gong Pei and Wang Wei led their troops to chase and kill for a while, captured more than 3,000 enemy troops, seized weapons and weapons, Fengqi armor, countless military rations and horses, and returned with great victory.

Ning Ze highly rewarded Gong Pei and Wang Wei, and arranged Ran Cao with Gong Pei.

Jin Rong retreated fifty miles away, calmed down and thought about it carefully, and found that something was wrong.

Only then did I realize that I was trapped and was very angry.

Convene subordinates to discuss how to fight back.

Just then, someone outside reported: "Person Ran is back!"

Jin Rong was stunned. He thought Ran Cao was dead. He heard that he was still alive and led his troops back, so he immediately said, "Call him to come and see me quickly!"

"Report to General! Captain Ran said that he was really ashamed of not completing the mission on this trip. He heard that the general suddenly withdrew his troops, so he rushed to chase him. On the way, he accidentally encountered an enemy army, attacked and captured the rebel general Pei Gong, and seized countless military rations. At this moment, the food and grass were all outside the camp, so please order the general."

Jin Rong was overjoyed when he heard this. He wanted to hold Ran Cao responsible. He heard that he had captured the rebel general Pei Gong and seized a large amount of military rations, which might make up for the losses he had lost in the panic just now. He was very satisfied with his merits and atonement and personally brought civil and military officials out of the camp.

Ran Cao appeared with military rations, and the rebel general Pei Gong was tied around him.

It is a great contribution to being able to capture the rebel general Pei Gong to avenge Zheng Fu.

Jin Rong stepped forward happily: "Captain Ran made great contributions and would be rewarded! Come here, quickly take the rebel general Pei Gong into the camp for good care of his life!"

"General!" Ran Cao said with his fists, "This person is the enemy of the lord. My subordinates ask for orders to escort him back to the city and hand him over to the lord as soon as possible, so that he can be cut into pieces to comfort the envoy's spirit in the sky. This is all done by the general. If it were not for the general's order, my subordinates would not have caught the rebel general."

"Okay!" Jin Rong nodded, "Then you will escort the rebel general Pei Gong back to the city to report. As for these military rations, they will be brought into the warehouse."

Ran Cao immediately handed over military rations to others.

After the grain officer checked, Jin Rong ordered soldiers in the camp to pull the car away.

Ran Cao led his troops to escort Pei Gong through the camp and marched forward.

When all the military rations entered the camp, a white-robed ghost-faced army suddenly appeared behind it, and used bamboo crossbows to shoot out countless lit arrows.

The arrows landed where the grain truck passed by, and suddenly the fire broke out and spread rapidly.
