[two hundred and eleven] cleverly break through the danger

Ah Chess stopped his foot in time, and his fists were suspended in the air and did not completely swung it out. He stomped his feet in anger, turned his head to walk towards his seat, standing aside, his face was so angry that it was blue and purple. The atmosphere in the hall fell into the ice cellar, which made people tremble behind his back.

Soluoqi looked at Su Qing with a sinister face: "Are you very arrogant? Relying on the 200,000 troops guarding the city... I feel relieved?"

Su Qing shrank his head and closed his fur coat, and muttered in a low voice: "General, Mingjian. With your command and dispatch, the city's great army here will definitely be able to defend it. Where will there be a chance of losing?"

Soloqi couldn't help but sneer: "At this point, you still have the heart to flatter me? What's the situation now? Can't you see clearly without eyes?"

Su Qing pouted and lowered his head without saying a word.

Soloqi cleared his throat and said, "The battle is in short order now, we must not take it lightly. What Su Qing and Ah Chess said make sense, so they arranged their troops and rushed out of the city to go deep into the forest."

The special agents immediately clasped their fists and bowed: "What the general said is very true, my subordinates obey the order."

The discussion in the hall stopped, and everyone dispersed, leaving Soluoqi alone staring at the sand table. The breeze in the yard rolled up the dead leaves and branches, and a thin sound of sand came. Soluoqi looked at the candlelight in front of the hall and couldn't help but feel enlightened. For some reason, he always felt a little uneasy, and only felt that something big would happen in the near future.

At the sixth hour of Xu, the border city was arranged according to Soluoqi's order, and divided into three camps. After the formation, all the remaining soldiers of Wanshu rushed to the north of the main gate city, guarded the long street crossing, fell asleep with Yi on the spot, ready to fight at any time.

At midnight, the Wei army from the mountains on both sides went down the mountain to attack again as agreed in advance. They hid halfway up the mountain and found an open land. They lined up with several archers, aimed at the border city and shot thousands of arrows at the frontier city, and attacked Chengtougetai and Quelou.

Soluoqi had already taken precautions in advance. In this battle, a net of heaven and earth was laid, and the soldiers in the city were orderly blocking the cold arrows shot from the mountainside.

Ning Nanyou climbed to the Muquetai temporarily built on the mountain and lit a torch to observe the situation at the foot of the mountain. As he expected tonight, Soloqi indeed adjusted the military defense in the city, using the strategy of defending Dunjia, and combined with the special silver wire and iron mesh of the Huns, it was laid on the roof of the eaves and roofs, covering the entire border town's main streets.

He put down the torch in his hand, couldn't help but smile, then turned around, went down the stairs of Quetai, handed the torch to the servant standing next to him, and then said to the deputy general beside him: "Send the order down, the entire army will rectify, remove more than half of the camp tents, pack up the marching rations and water sacks, and prepare to go down the mountain."

The deputy general was stunned when he heard this order, frowned and hesitated: "What is the general's move? We have finally occupied the high ground to gain the upper hand... If we want to evacuate, wouldn't we miss this opportunity?"

Ning Nanyou smiled and said lightly: "If we don't evacuate at this moment, our advantage may become a fatal disaster."

The deputy general said in confusion: "What does the general mean?"

Ning Nanyou said: "From the middle of the night to the early morning, Soloqi will secretly arrange troops to go out of the city, climb the mountain, and set traps for us."

"What? What does it mean?" the deputy general said strangely: "How can Soloqi set up a trap? The five lines of defense we set up on the hillside and on the top of the mountain are steep everywhere. Even if the Hun soldiers want to set up a trap, they still need to eliminate these five lines of defense in order to attack our army... How can they?"

Ning Nanyou said: "No matter how many defense lines are, they can't stand a fire in the forest. Although our sneak attack on the border town is just a small attack, and there has been no head-on confrontation so far, it has also disturbed the Huns. This repeated provocation will sooner or later make them upset and their morale will be unstable. If the dog is anxious, it will be forced to jump over the wall, let alone them?"

The deputy general was shocked and said, "They can really do something to set fire to the mountains? If a fire in the forest is lit, it will definitely be a scorched earth, and I am afraid it will not be able to be raised in more than ten years. The border town has been living by mountains, rivers and springs throughout the ages. Burning the deep forests of the mountains on both sides is equivalent to breaking the meridians... Then what are they still guarding this city?"

Ning Nanyou said calmly, "This is the reason. However, the foolish people of the Huns may not be concerned about this. They are used to running in the grasslands, so they naturally don't know how important the deep wild mountains on both sides of the border town are. In order to force us into a desperate situation, besides poisoning the deep forest and attacking our army's military camp with poisonous miasma, they can only have a chance of winning by setting fire to the mountains."

The deputy general was even more surprised: "How did the general know that they would use the law of the spread of the forest poisoning in the morning to poison it?"

Ning Nanyou: "Now we are at the peak, and the only way they can think of is that we are dead, there are only these two. If you think about it any more, there is nothing else."

So the deputy general said in a panic: "General, if the deep mountains are really burned, we will take back the border city in the future, I am afraid that the livelihoods of the people in this city will be destroyed... What are some ways to ensure the lives of our soldiers and prevent this man-made disaster?"

Ning Nanyou looked up at the dark sky and said calmly: "Don't worry. This fire cannot be burned."

He raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyes, and reminded: "Don't ask more questions, follow my orders. The archers continue to attack the border town, and after half an hour, they gathered halfway up the mountain and evacuate here with the army."

The deputy general heard his words and became stern, and knew that he had no patience to continue answering, so he hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Ning Nanyou turned into the camp, called a scout, whispered a few words to him, and ordered him to rush to the opposite mountain range and inform the Cheng family army to retreat.

However, on the opposite hill, Chengge Cliff had already guessed the next action of the Huns, and had already issued an order to evacuate. The moonlight spreads all over the hill, and the soldiers climbing onto the strange stones, and they moved quietly little by little.

Halfway through the mountain, the archers persevered for half an hour. In order to make the Huns think that they had exhausted their skills and had exhausted their equipment, the long arrows they shot were made of branches picked up in the deep forest.

In the border town, the generals of the Xiongnu camps ran around, collecting arrows from the enemy on the silver wire and iron net, and found that they were all branches, so they hurried to the general's mansion to report the matter. Seeing this, Soluoqi immediately ordered the troops who were ready to go out of the city immediately, sneak into the mountains, arrange poison powder, and set fire to the forest. Su Qing and Ahqi personally led their troops out of the city, divided into two teams, and each rushed towards the mountains on both sides.

Fortunately, an archer forced himself to drag for half an hour, giving the Wei army plenty of time to escape. Ning Nanyou led his army around the steep slope on the side of the mountain, carefully climbed down the cliff, and hid in the valley.

Ahnqi led his troops into the deep forest. When he climbed halfway up the mountain, the sky was gradually getting brighter. The Hun army hid behind the ancient tree and rocks, observing the movements on the mountain. First, three or four sentries went to explore the way, and then two thousand infantry followed closely. Ahnqi was surrounded by several forwards, carefully guarding against movements around him.

It was not until the sentry who had gone to investigate the situation that the army dared to follow and continue to move forward to the top of the mountain.

At the seventh hour of Yin, the path between the mountains was gradually emerging under the sunlight. The Xiongnu army faintly saw the tents set on the top of the mountain, so they each stopped their steps and approached quietly. As the poisonous miasma in the deep forest in front of them was about to surge, Ah Chess quickly waved his sleeves and ordered several doctors left by Su Qing to sneak into the forest and spread poison powder. After all this was arranged, he immediately led a group of soldiers to retreat back to the hillside and wait patiently.

About half an hour later, it happened to be the time for the toxic attack. Ah Qi did not order his subordinates to go to detect again, but threw a torch directly into the mountains, then evacuated from the place, and ran around the base of the mountain range to the valley connected to the cliffs of the back mountain.

Unexpectedly, they finally arrived at the valley before noon to meet with the army that had entered the back cliff in advance. Before they could say a word, they were surrounded by the Wei army hidden beside the rocks on both sides.

Ah Qi was extremely surprised. He looked up at the peak veins that were entering the sky, then looked at the group of soldiers in front of him, frowned, and murmured to himself: "How is this possible? The fire on the mountain... so big, how could the Wei army arrive here first than us?"

In this journey, four thousand Hun soldiers were cut off by the Wei army and could only crowd together.

At this time, a person slowly walked out of the dense crowds of people between the valleys. He headed towards the Ah Chess Stand standing in front.

"Ah Chess, I haven't seen her for many years. I didn't expect that you would still be so whimsical? Is it your way to burn the mountains? Isn't it?"

Ning Nanyou walked over, stood in front of the four thousand Hun soldiers with his hands behind his back, curled his lips and sneered.

When Ah Qi heard this sound, he couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body. He stared at the man who was talking. He saw a little bit of foreign color in his face, and he raised his head, staring at him with great contempt, as if he was looking at a fool.

Ah Qi immediately spoke coldly: "It's you again, Ning Nanyou. We are so good! Long time! No! See you!"

Ning Nanyou raised his eyebrows, stared at the person in front of him, and sarcastically said: "You are still the same as before. Although you have some brains, you are still not cautious enough. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk."

Ah Chess looked around and his resentment had been deposited for a long time, but he did not immediately send it out. Instead, he asked first: "How did you escape from the poisonous gas and fire in the mountains and forests? The back cliff is steep and difficult to climb. Your speed is impossible to be faster than us."

Ning Nanyou smiled and said, "In the second half of the night, when our archers attacked the border town again, they were ready to retreat. You are just stupid, thinking that your plans are seamless and no one can guess."

Ah Chess was surprised and asked, "Did you guess that we will attack the mountains with fire and poison?"

Ning Nanyou: "Otherwise, should we sit on the top of the mountain and wait for death?"
