The fire in Huchou Valley burned raging for a long time, and it was barely extinguished until the white fish belly appeared in the east.
Tian Mingguang glanced at him for a long time and felt angry, then waved his subordinates to go to Huchou Mountain.
"General," the few thousand-year-olds said.
"It's still dark and the fog is too heavy. Why don't we wait? When it gets light, the Xingluo people will have no way to hide. Brothers, go up and fight them. Now go up..."
Tian Mingguang glared at them and took the lead to walk up the mountain without any explanation.
"Everyone, get up here. Even if you die, you have to stay on the mountain. If you wait any longer, the Xingluo people will run away."
He didn't believe it.
The Starfall Legion's military exploits are invincible, and they are feared like tigers by the surrounding countries, large and small. But if you don’t have ten thousand people, then you will have twenty thousand; if you don’t have twenty thousand, you will have forty thousand.
There are so many people in Huchou Pass, even if they pile their heads on top, they will kill these Xingluo people.
Seeing Shangfeng's insistence, the elders had no choice but to grit their teeth and take the lead in climbing up the mountain.
However, due to the steep and slippery roads in the foggy mountains, and the painful memories of last night, the soldiers of Nanfeng had to stay step by step.
At the slightest movement in the vast white mist, they immediately became frightened. There was a lot of shooting and slashing, and it took a while before I dared to go over and check what was going on.
However, after looking up in shock for more than an hour, I discovered that Xingluo Man had disappeared into the sky without any news.
"What! They're all gone? Didn't you meet anyone?"
There were no screams coming from the mountain. Tian Mingguang was mentally prepared for this. However, when the news actually came to him, he was still a little unbelievable.
Of course you have to walk quickly.
Ren Ning, who was leading the team back to the Snake Valley over the mountains and ridges, looked back.
He could even faintly hear the shouts and curses of Nanfeng people in his ears.
The fog had been soaking in the fog all night, and even if there was any mosquito repellent powder on Nanfeng Xiaobing's body, it was already very weak. The fog may not necessarily be a help to his side by then.
The most important thing is that in order to bring more kerosene and other combustion-supporting substances, they don't have much food rations on them. After two days and one night there was not much left. We can't let everyone go hungry and fight or go around in circles with the Nanfeng people whose camp is so close.
Just make enough money and leave.
He never thought about filling up all three thousand of his brothers on Huchou Mountain.
Others used to just follow the rules and prohibitions, but now they listened to Ren Ning's words and crawled forward happily.
"Have the casualties been counted?" Ren Ning asked.
"Back to the general, the statistics are out. Fifteen of the three thousand brothers were killed and 130 were injured. But most of them were minor injuries and can be recovered after a few days of rest. Only eight were seriously injured."
Lei Er munched broad beans and came over with a smile on his face, "This is a great victory."
Ren Ning was noncommittal, took the data and looked at it.
Nine of the fifteen people who died were members of his fifth battalion, and seven of them were directly sucked into the drainage channel by the vortex when they destroyed the drainage channel around the warehouse and never came up again.
In addition, most of the casualties were due to the slippery mountain and unable to stand firmly. They either slipped directly into the Nanfeng people during the sneak attack, or twisted their feet during the transfer.
Ren Ning looked at the fifteen names and silently remembered them in his heart.
It seems like I should train more on underwater operations after I go back.
After all, the vanguard battalion is to a large extent at the front to open up the way forward for the main force. Building roads and building bridges across mountains and mountains is a necessary skill.
Wujin from Huchou Valley was also checking his own casualties after withdrawing his troops.
All the generals looked a little gloomy.
There were not many corpses brought down from Huchou Mountain, just over sixty, but the wounded people sat all over the place.
Huchou Valley is just the opposite.
There were not many injured, but there were many dead.
Including the initial warehouse defenders and gang leader troops, a total of 630 people died. More than half of them were burned to death while desperately fighting the fire.
It can be said that the entire Huchou Valley is now filled with the aroma of meat.
Tian Mingguang came over to comfort the general whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"General, the Xingluo people were too cunning and the heavy fog allowed them to escape. Next time we meet, we won't be so lucky. I will kill the bastard they lead on the horse."
"It's not like we lost, at least we saved more than half of the grain and grass in the valley..."
Although he was a military general, Tian Mingguang's eloquence was not very good.
As he spoke, he glanced at the burned corpses on the ground and couldn't say any more.
"What is the name of the general who leads the army?" the general asked.
A bunch of generals looked at each other in confusion, and finally the subordinates of General Shan who came over first stood up.
"Back to the general, before you all arrived at Tiger Sorrow Valley, the Xingluo people had attacked us in the direction of the pass. My subordinates could see clearly at that time that in addition to the Xingluo military flag, they also had an order flag with the word 'Ren' on it. Character."
"appoint!"
The two captains of ten thousand and the captains of more than twenty thousand looked at each other and had no idea what this was.
"Remember this person and don't let him go in the future."
After some tidying up, the more than 10,000 people returned to Huchou Pass to wait for orders.
Chinese army.
Ruan Qianren stared at the northern sky with lingering anger on his face.
Last night Zhennanguan opened the city gate and sent the army southward. Huchou Pass was in turmoil for a while, and everyone focused their attention on the north.
As a result, the Zhennanguan army stopped as soon as they reached the Huchou River. They were setting up formations and beating drums by the river. It seemed that they were killing the soldiers across the river and approaching Huchou Pass in minutes.
As a result, after struggling for a long time, Zhennan Pass summoned everyone back at dawn. Now that he closed the city gate and fell asleep, Ruan Qianren almost turned his nose in anger.
Yun Chui wanted to kill the 200,000 troops at Huchou Pass, but Nan Feng always wanted to kill the soldiers at Zhennan Pass.
And siege consumes the most men and horses.
Ruan Qianren was eager for Yuan Xingwen to lead his troops to attack Huchou Pass. In this way, they are nominally victims, and at the same time they can consume Zhennanguan's troops. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
It's a pity that Yuan Xingwen, a coward, was just showing off, letting the soldiers in his hand come out for a walk and then took them back.
Ruan Qianren was depressed, and after hearing Huchougu's report, he became even more angry and was about to curse.
"Report!"
The shrill voice rushed over quickly with the command flag.
thump.
As soon as he entered the central army, the messenger, who was covered in blood, fell off his horse.
"General, the capital of the country..."
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
The personal guard quickly went up and took out the letter from his arms, checked the paint and toxicity, and then presented it to Ruan Qianren.
After opening the secret letter, Ruan Qianren glanced at the seal below, his face even more moved.
As expected, it came from the capital, and he quickly looked at the content.
"General, what's the content of the letter?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
Ruan Qianren read it and handed the letter over silently. He took a few steps to the map and stared at it coldly, but the contents of the letter echoed in his mind.
A large number of Yunchui troops appeared near the capital. They were aggressively attacking local defenders, burning farmland, and destroying major transportation routes. They were about to attack the capital immediately, so they immediately led their troops back to the capital for rescue.
