Chapter 466(1/2)
There is no way to fight!
Although Ning Ze's hot air balloon was lowered enough, it could not counterattack at all outside the archer's range. His "spell" instantly formed a sea of fire, causing unimaginable damage to Xiao Qi or Kong Lan's army.
It's like a unilateral massacre, and if you don't run away and stand there, let him burn them all to death?
If it were anyone, there would be only one choice in the face of this situation - escape!
The moment the fire broke out on the top of the crucible mountain, Ding Mu followed Ning Ze's order and quickly led the soldiers into the mountain road.
Although Xiao Qi and Kong Lan were ambushed on both sides, they were all attracted by Ning Ze's attention, especially when the sea of fire appeared, they only thought of escaping their lives at the first moment. Who has time to pay attention to the Chinese soldiers appearing on the mountain road below?
Not to mention, Ning Ze's fire attack covered all the rolling stone wood, including tung oil. Only soldiers in the flames rushed out, and no one rushed into the sea of fire to die.
The ambush was broken, and Ding Mu led his team to rush through the ambush site without any obstacles. Sure enough, he found that the road ahead was blocked by many collapsed trees and large stones.
Ding Mu personally went into battle and directed the soldiers to quickly pull the trees and stones with their war horses to both sides. After removing the obstacles, he hurried over and found the cliffs on both sides to the mountain passes and wait for the battle.
It was not that easy for Xiao Qi and Kong Lan to run down from the top of the cliff.
Just like going up the mountain, the steep and winding mountain road is very difficult to walk, not to mention that the army was frightened by "spells" and could not act in accordance with order.
In contrast, Ding Mu's team arrived first.
When the troops on both sides arrived at the foot of the mountain, they were shocked to find that the Chinese army was blocking their way. When they turned around, they saw the hot air balloons flying slowly and encircled them.
Whether Xiao Qi or Kong Lan's troops were in great panic, they were burned by fire and were burned to death by a large number of attributes and morale. How dare they fight head-on? They fell into a situation where they could not advance or retreat.
Originally, when these two troops encountered Ding Mu, they might not lose head-on encounters, but in this situation, the soldiers were not willing to fight.
Under the charge of Ding Mu's army, the soldiers of Xingtai had nowhere to escape, and many people chose to surrender and beg for a life.
Kong Lan is not a person who lives a life of silence. He is unwilling to surrender in the face of death and leads his close friends to fight hard.
On the battlefield, he met Ding Mu. The two sides fought for thirty rounds. Kong Lan fell to the ground by the horse and was captured alive by Ding Mu's subordinates.
Xiao Qi did not fight hard. Seeing that the situation was not good, he led his subordinates to travel through mountains and rivers, hoping to use the terrain to find a way out.
Ding Mu's subordinates led troops to quickly surround the surroundings of the Crucible Mountain, which made Xiao Qi panic.
The group ran north of the Crucible Mountain, but saw Ning Ze riding a hot air balloon and blocking the airspace ahead.
Seeing that there was no way out, Xiao Qi's subordinates betrayed the master in order to survive. They took advantage of his unpreparedness and forced the uniform. When he was scolding, they tied it into a rice dumpling and slapped a white flag to Ningze in the air and asked for surrender.
Ning Ze did not expect that Xiao Qi's subordinates would tie up the chief general. But this was good and saved some effort.
The Chinese army successfully passed through the crucible mountains and gathered in an open area.
Xiao Qi and Kong Lan were tied up and sent to Ning Ze.

As Guo Wei said, these two people are both literary and military, and their attributes are even higher than Guo Wei and Dong Han.
Xiao Qi has 87 points of intelligence, which is quite rare; Kong Lan has 86 martial arts, and is also a powerful general.
The two of them were very loyal to Liang Guo and it was very difficult to persuade them to surrender.
The two were tied up and kneeled in front of Ning Ze, looking reluctant.
Kong Lan looked up and saw Guo Wei, and Dong Han immediately roared: "The one who is betrayed the Lord!!"
Guo Wei and Dong Han looked embarrassed and dared not look at him.
Ning Ze stepped forward and said, "Two generals, as the situation is clear today, our country is about to restore our country! Good birds break trees and live in a good place, and good times choose the master to work. I hope that the two of you will understand the great power and join our country!"
His level of stunts to persuade him to surrender is not low, but this stunt mainly depends on benevolence. The higher the benevolence, the greater the success rate of persuading him to surrender.
As expected, Kong Lan ignored Ning Ze's persuasion to surrender at all, snorted coldly and turned his head away.
Xiao Qi also turned around and had no intention of surrender.
This is normal. Ning Ze only has 50 benevolent deeds, and the success rate of persuading surrender is too low. What's more, Xiao Qi and Kong Lan are loyal to them above 80, which makes it even more difficult.
If Liu Yuanxiang was here, with her kindness and special skills, she would have persuaded her to give her a few words and would probably have been reduced directly.
"Not knowing the mercy!" Seeing this, Dewey next to him came over with a silver snake spear and said sternly, "I advise you with kindness, you two are so rude! Brother, what's the use of such a stubborn person to keep? It's better to kill him!"
"Stop!" Ning Ze quickly stopped Dewey, "Don't be impulsive, take them down first, and send troops to Xingtai quickly. The main forces of the enemy are here. Xingtai County is afraid that its troops are empty, so it is just right to take advantage of the situation to take them down!"
Dewey was very obedient, so he let Xiao Qi and Kong Lan go.
After gathering the surrendered troops, the army kept moving rapidly towards Xingtai County.
Some deserters broke through and returned to Xingtai County and reported to the prefect Zhang Yi: "Ning Ze descended from the sky, and his skills caused our army to fall into the sea of fire, with countless casualties. Our ambush was defeated, and both generals, Xiao Qi and Kong Lan, were captured alive!"
Zhang Yi was shocked when he heard this and asked hurriedly: "Guo Wei, where is Dong Han now?"
"The enemy has reached the Crucible Mountain. Even if the two generals are not dead, they may fall into Ning Ze's hands like Xiao Qi and General Kong Lan!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yi felt intuition and almost fell down.
The four generals of Xiao Qi, Kong Lan, Guo Wei and Dong Han are all the pillars of Zhang Yi. The main army in the city is handed over to them, just to block Ning Ze.
Who would have thought that in front of Ning Ze, they were all defeated!
Yes, under normal circumstances, when two armies fight, no matter how powerful the opponent is, the four generals can withstand it for a while. However, when the opponent casts spells, this is not something that humans can resist.
The main troops were all eliminated, and only about 5,000 old, weak, sick and disabled were left in Xingtai County. Where can Ningze’s army come?
Even if you ask for help from the surrounding county towns, it will definitely be too late.
In a panic, Zhang Yi summoned the city officials to inquire about countermeasures.
The county magistrate said: "The enemy is coming in a fierce manner, and Ning Ze is casting spells. The four generals led tens of thousands of troops and could not resist them. We are afraid that we can't defend them. The following officials' opinions should be better off leaving the city early and heading north to Shishan County. When the imperial army comes to help, we will fight back to Xingtai together!"
Zhang Yi sighed: "Sima military advisor ordered me to defend Xingtai and abandon the city and flee, which is a violation of military orders! The military advisors enforce the law very strictly, and those who violate the orders will be killed without mercy. You may be able to save your lives. I am afraid that this is my head! "
The civil and military officials looked at each other but did not refute.
Indeed, if Zhang Yi fled without fighting, he would violate military orders and be inappropriate. With Sima Law's law enforcement efforts, he would definitely lose his head.
But if you don’t run away, just relying on the five thousand old and weak soldiers in the city, Ning Ze’s army will not be able to defend the city even after they come.
Once the city is broken, will you still lose your head?
Both sides and vertically, Zhang Yi is unlucky enough.
After a long discussion, I have no conclusions, so I will leave the meeting for the time being.
Zhang Yi returned home and was worried.
When his wife Yuan saw it, she stepped forward and asked, "Why are you feeling depressed?"
Zhang Yi sighed and told the current situation truthfully.
Yuan thought for a while and said to him: "Since both sides are dead, why should your husband be loyal to you? Instead of resisting the disaster to his family, it is better to open the door and offer the city and seek refuge in China!"
Zhang Yi frowned when he heard this: "In this way, I will be a sinner of Liang State and will be criticized for generations!"
"If the Liang Kingdom is victorious, then the husband will be a sinner! However, even if the husband dies, he will not be given a wise reputation." Yuan said, "If the Hua Kingdom is victorious, then the husband will be a meritorious minister. How can he be a slander for generations?"
"This..." Zhang Yi's heart moved when he heard this.
Yuan continued, "My husband thinks that when today, who can stop that immortal Ning? How different is it to resist the immortal with human power to be a mantis armed with a mantis arm to chariot?"
Zhang Yi immediately bowed to Yuan and said, "Mrs. I will suddenly understand after a word! I should follow the heavens. As the prefect of Xingtai, I should take the people as my thoughts! I would rather the immortals appear in the world as an immortal. How can we mortals behave as a chariot?"
Immediately returned to the official office, summoned the civil and military officials in the city again to announce the surrender.
The civil and military officials in the city were all handed over by Zhang Yi, so he naturally followed his orders and no one opposed it.
Ning Ze captured the four generals of Guo Wei, Dong Han, Xiao Qi and Kong Lan, and led a large army to attack Xingtai County.
When he arrived at the west side of Xingtai County, he saw the city gate open. The prefect of Xingtai led the civil and military officials in the city to wait outside the city, and thousands of old, weak and remnants formed a formation.
Ning Zexin said, does the other party still want to fight to the death with this little force?
He turned his head and signaled Dewey with his eyes.
