After setting up a simple obstacle, Ren Ning slapped Lei Er on the shoulder, "Remember, when the whistle blows, you will lead people to retreat to the mountain. Don't be reluctant to fight!"
The night was too dark and the fog was too thick, so the semaphores had completely lost their effect, so they had to use whistles to remind them.
"Understood!" Lei Er leaned on the boulder and calmly wiped his machete.
Ren Ning nodded and ran towards the right mountain.
He did not take the straight road widened by the Second Battalion, and climbed up the cliff like a monkey. After a while, he reached the right sentry point.
"General!" The soldiers of the second battalion greeted each other one after another.
Ren Ning ignored them, took out a small hourglass and put it next to him. He picked up the binoculars and looked at Huchou Pass: "Don't worry about me. Keep an eye on the passage. The lives of thousands of brothers in the Fifth Battalion are in your hands."
If there are more enemies coming, and there are not a thousand archers on the left and right mountains to stop them, Lei Er's 100 men alone can't stop them for long.
The soldiers quickly stared down.
Huchou Pass is not far away, and Nan Fengjun arrived very quickly.
Almost as soon as Ren Ning climbed to the sentry post on the right mountain, General Shan appeared in front of Huchou Valley with a long line of men, horses and torches.
Lei Er chuckled and thrust the Xingluo military flag into the crevice behind the stone.
"Brothers, the meat is here! The meal is ready!"
The other soldiers laughed loudly, "Lei Guards, I bet it won't be our turn to take action with the first batch of people."
Ren Ning didn't know what Lei Er and others were doing below.
He searched with his binoculars and soon found General Shan in a scarlet cloak. He was loudly urging his subordinates to move forward, surrounded by his personal guards.
Torches are really good things.
Ren Ning sighed, drew out the black arrow from his back, and waited coldly for the enemy general to enter his shooting range.
Whoosh whoosh!
Nan Fengjun came in a hurry and didn't bring many shields.
Not long after the soldiers rushed into the passage flanked by two mountains, arrows rained down from the mountains.
Ahhhh!
A series of screams sounded, and a group of people fell down neatly in an instant.
"Be careful. There's an ambush on the mountain!"
When the people who followed saw this situation, they were frightened and stopped quickly.
They want to stop. It's just that the fog was so thick that the people behind couldn't see what was happening in front of them, so they habitually pushed their accomplices forward.
When the Xingluo soldiers on the mountains on both sides saw this situation, they felt so happy.
There are too many enemies and they are too dense, and they hold up torches to serve as targets, so you can hit them without even aiming.
They were divided into three batches. The first batch retreated after shooting, and the second batch took over. The third group carries arrows and replaces the failed archers at any time.
Whoosh!
Ahhhh!
Arrows were flying, one after another without mercy. The Nanfeng people below screamed and fell down one after another. Occasionally, a few people held shields and endured several rounds of bows and arrows. Lei Er and others were already waiting in front of them with grins.
General Shan in the middle of the team is also experienced in many battles. When he gets closer and looks closer, he knows that there are not too many people on the left and right mountains, and the control channel is not too long.
He shouted loudly: "Attack! Everyone is not allowed to stop and rush in quickly. There are not many enemies. As long as you rush into the valley, you will be safe..."
The words have not yet been spoken!
call out!
A sharp howl sounded.
what is that?
General Shan shrank his eyes.
He saw something spinning and suddenly appeared from the dark night sky. Before he could react, his forehead was hit hard, his body fell back, and he immediately lost consciousness.
What a powerful arrow!
This was his last thought.
The guards were stunned, and it took them a while to react.
Enemy attack!
One by one, they pounced on the vanguard and tried to use them as human shields. However, when Dingqing took a look, he discovered that there was a black arrow stuck deeply in the middle of General Shan's forehead.
The vanguard has been killed with one arrow, and there is no way to save him.
"General Nan Feng is dead!"
There was a lot of noise, and a half-baked Nanfeng dialect suddenly sounded from somewhere on the mountain. After a while, countless sentences "General Nanfeng is dead!" rang out from the mountains on the left and right.
The Nanfeng soldiers were stunned and couldn't help but turn their heads to look.
They looked around, and sure enough they didn't see the leading general wearing a scarlet cloak under the military flag.
The general is dead! ?
Everyone suddenly felt a chill in their hearts and stopped.
After another group of people fell in the rain of arrows, the entire offensive came to a halt. The soldiers at the front rushed back in panic, retreating some distance from the boss.
Ren Ning breathed a sigh of relief and took a moment to glance at the hourglass next to him.
Speaking of how fast it was in real time, it was only a little over half an hour since the attack started on the top of the cliff.
"How's it going in the valley?" he asked.
"Back to the general, 90% of the warehouses in the valley have been set on fire. Five hundred people are left looking for ditch drains and preparing to destroy them. Others have rushed over to support the Lei Guards."
Ren Ning nodded.
The food and fodder for 200,000 people would definitely be burned in a short time. Only by draining all the water around the warehouse so that even if the Nanfeng people invaded, there would be no water to put out the fire, could the place be destroyed to the greatest extent.
However, the drainage outlet is not clearly visible on the ground like a warehouse, so it takes time to find it.
"Where are the roads leading from the sentinels on both sides to the bottom of the valley?" he asked again.
In order to evacuate all the people and horses at the bottom of the valley as soon as possible, these two roads must be expanded to at least half a foot wide, and the slope cannot be too steep, which is not an easy task.
"Back to General, most of the two roads have been completed. The two thousand chiefs have promised that the widening will definitely be completed within two-quarters of an hour."
Two quarters of an hour is half an hour!
Ren Ning glanced at the hourglass again, "How many more arrows are there?"
"Back to the general, there are a battalion of five hundred archers, and most of them used a pot!"
"The second camp is about the same. Most people use one pot."
Ren Ning frowned.
Before leaving the Yingshan camp, everyone, including him, brought two pots of arrows, each with fifteen arrows. As long as Nanfeng's shield array doesn't come over, it should be able to hold on for a while.
It's just that they have to go to Nanfeng Capital after coming down, so they can't use up all their arrows here.
"Pass my order! The first battalion won't move. The second battalion's 500 archers will switch to melee weapons and go down to support Taniguchi."
Several messengers responded and rushed out of the sentry point on Youshan without hesitation.
Ren Ning's order spread quickly. The people on the right mountain put down their bows and arrows and ran towards the bottom of the valley.
It is difficult to go up the mountain, but much easier to go down.
After a while, five hundred people from the second battalion rushed to Lei Er and others.
"Does the general have any orders?" he asked quickly.
The ordering soldier did not explain, but raised his hand and pointed to the brightly lit passage.
"There are three large rubber trees in the shape of a Chinese character in front of you. The Lei Guards led a thousand brothers to fight there and then immediately retreated. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Lei Er nodded.
Thick fog covered the sky and the ground, and he didn't have a telescope in his hand. He couldn't see the three big rubber trees in the shape of a Chinese zither, but Ren Ning understood clearly what he meant.
It's nothing more than taking advantage of the enemy general's death and the panic of the soldiers to take the initiative to charge and harvest for a while, forcing the enemy back as far as possible. It can not only lower the enemy's morale but also reduce the pressure on your own side.
"What a pity..." Lei Er muttered.
Unfortunately, Huchou Mountain is too steep, and all the horses were left in the Snake Valley. Otherwise, a round of cavalry would press through and they would be able to reach the Huchou Pass.
"Let's go!"
Without further ado, he pulled up the Xingluo military flag behind him, stuffed it into the hands of the soldier next to him, told him "Follow me", and took the lead to rush out.
When the others first came over, they had already found their corps commander. The corps commander looked for Shi Zhang, and Shi Zhang looked for Chief Bai. Chief Bai waved his hand, and then Serial Number strode behind Lei Er.
The dark passage has been illuminated by the torches brought by the Nanfeng people. However, the thick fog made it difficult to see very far.
"Starfall!"
Everyone let out a loud roar, and before they could see the enemy's face clearly, they swung their swords to kill him.
