"Report!"
Some soldiers rushed into the Chinese army's tent with fearful expressions.
"General, something bad has happened. The Xingluo Legion that attacked Huchou Valley has entered the pass, and our army cannot resist it! General Pei died in battle!"
What?
Nanfeng spent a lot of money to build Huchou Pass, and the outside will not be able to attack it for a while.
The generals in the tent were sizing up the situation, hesitating whether to send a cloud-piercing arrow to ask for help from the capital. At this time, everyone jumped up suddenly as if they were stung by a scorpion.
Ruan Qianren's face was even more serious, and he rushed out of the tent in a few steps. He didn't bother to check the body that Pei Zhuang had just brought back, and looked up to the west.
"Who is leading the team in Xingluo? How many people are here? Where are they fighting now?"
"Return to the general, the other party's command flag is the word 'Ren'." The soldier paused, "As for the number of people, the fog is too heavy in the west. From the sound of footsteps, it is estimated that there are about three to four thousand people. They are now fighting towards the south city head."
Well!
Ruan Qianren swayed and cried out in pain, covering his chest.
He was even younger than Wei Junqian, but at this time his heart was severely twisted, and he directly suffered from angina pectoris, which is unique to the elderly.
It’s this guy named Ren again.
Didn't Pei Zhuang, who had been cut down by thousands of swords, swear three days ago that this group of people had gone to the capital? Why did he appear here again in the Valley of Tiger Sorrow and catch them off guard?
Complaints are all, but on a foggy day, Ren Ning and his entourage disappeared without a trace, and Ruan Qianren had nothing to say.
What made him heartbroken was that Pei Zhuang brought more than 10,000 troops to intercept.
Three or four thousand versus ten thousand, anyone who looks at it feels sure of it. However, in less than one meal, Pei Zhuang was defeated and died.
Hold!
Ruan Qianren was well-behaved and couldn't help but curse at this time.
He didn't know for a moment whether he should say that the Xingluo people were too ferocious or that the soldiers brought out by this bastard Peizhuang were just a bunch of rubbish.
Maybe 10,000 kilograms of tofu dregs were piled directly on the road, and maybe the enemy could be stopped for a longer period of time.
Shuzi is harming the country!
In the past, he talked about the war and talked about it, but once he encountered actual combat, he was easily killed.
Ruan Qianren cursed secretly a few times, looked around, and his eyes turned red with regret.
If Pei Zhuang hadn't already died, Ruan Qianren wouldn't have cared about the tigress in his family and the huge power of the Yue family, so he would have killed him on the spot.
"Notify the defenders at the south city head immediately to be wary of the enemies in the city and make sure they are not allowed to board the city head." Ruan Qianren ordered.
The soldiers responded, rolled and crawled out of the middle army, jumped on their horses and ran away.
"General Zong," Ruan Qianren looked at a steady general in his forties next to him: "I still have to trouble you. Bring your personal guards and go to the city immediately to collect the scattered soldiers."
"Even if we all die, I will stop the Xingluo people in front of the southern city."
There are currently only 80,000 troops in Huchou Pass, but to guard the north and south walls at the same time, the manpower is already somewhat stretched.
At this time, the manpower that Ruan Qianren could mobilize was empty.
But at this time, Peizhuang lost another 10,000 men, which made matters worse.
Fortunately, these 10,000 people were only scattered and there were not too many casualties. As long as you send capable generals to gather them, you will still be able to fight.
Zong Tuyuan's subordinate soldiers have already gone to the north city head collectively, and he has just returned to discuss the situation of the battle. Without wasting much words at this time, he gave Ruan Qianren a heavy hand, took his personal guards and stepped out to leave the Chinese army.
The other generals couldn't sit still either.
"General, my subordinates will go to the top of the city to supervise the battle. We will ensure that the top of the city is not boarded by the enemy. Otherwise, we will see you with your head raised."
Ruan Qianren waved his hand and asked them to leave.
Facing an impregnable city like Huchou Pass, the defenders had a huge advantage. Most of the siege parties had to pay a lot of lives to break through the city wall.
It's just that now there is a group of Xingluo people with extraordinary combat power in the city. As long as they open a gap on the top of the city, the enemies outside the city can continuously climb up. Then it won't help no matter how well the others guard it. Sooner or later, they will have to give up their heads.
Ruan Qianren looked south silently.
Zong Tuyuan, it's up to you at Huchou Pass. You must stop Xingluo Ren.
Zong Tuyuan also knew that the situation was urgent and sent more than a dozen personal guards everywhere to gather people. He and his bodyguards, less than a hundred of them, mounted their horses and rushed towards the left footpath of the south city wall.
Generally, there are two wide steps built near the city gate for the defenders, horses or equipment to go up and down the city wall.
Zong Tuyuan knew it very well.
The offensive outside the city was fierce, and the defenders on top of the city were already short of manpower, and in all likelihood they would be unable to escape.
Only if he leads people to guard the path immediately so that the Starfall Legion cannot climb the city wall can this battle turn around.
Unable to reach the city wall, the Starfall Legion could only kill people, set fire to the city, and create chaos.
It's just setting fire, it's not a big deal. Just pretend that the rockets outside the city are too powerful and set the buildings in the city on fire.
When his personal guards gathered the remaining soldiers, there were only three to four thousand people in Xingluo. Even if they were all brave enough to block ten, sooner or later they would be destroyed by cold spears and arrows from all directions.
So be quick!
Zong Tuyuan knew how powerful it was, and Ren Ning naturally knew it too.
After entering Huchou Pass, everyone ignored the Nanfeng soldiers who were fleeing in all directions. Their only goal was to rush to the south of the city.
As for the city gate, send a few people to lift the bolt and open the city gate. That's for filming a TV series.
Huchou Pass is the north gate of Nanfeng, not an ordinary city.
As long as there is a large-scale enemy attack on the city, the city gate will be blocked immediately with stones, big trees, various mechanisms, etc. There is basically no need to think about opening the city gate from the inside.
drive!
Follow up!
Zong Tuyuan spanked his beloved horse's butt repeatedly and loudly urged the guards behind him.
I hope the people in Xingluo don’t know the roads inside Huchou Pass.
However, when he and his group of nearly a hundred people rushed to the entrance of the south city, the front steps were already densely packed with enemies, and they were heading towards the top of the city unstoppably. We are about to reach the top of the city.
I'm late!
Zong Tuyuan's heart sank.
He had never seen the Xingluo Man before, but one look at the strange raincoat he wore told him that he was not one of his own.
Without thinking too much, Zong Tu waved his hand far away, turned his horse's head and rushed towards the other footpath opposite the city gate.
Since we're late and can't stop him, let's fight on the city wall!
Ren Ning has great confidence in the combat power of his subordinates.
He only gave Lei Er and others a target, and ignored the battle on the steps and on the top of the city. He climbed to the top of the archery tower in a few steps and looked around with a telescope.
Soon he saw a general with a broadsword coming in a hurry with nearly a hundred personal guards.
Red value 85!
What a big fish!
hey-hey!
Ren Ning smiled cruelly, drew out the black arrow, and shot it out.
Zong Tuyuan was turning around when suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and he slashed into the void with the sword in his hand without hesitation.
clang!
There was a loud noise, the tiger's mouth went numb, and the big knife in his hand almost flew out of his hand.
call!
The black arrow suddenly flew away, pounced twice, and actually penetrated the mounts of two nearby guards.
咴咴咴!
The two horses screamed in unison, their limbs went limp, and they fell to the ground at the same time.
who?
The guards were shocked and quickly surrounded Zong Tuyuan, raising their shields in a hurry.
However, when Ren Ning saw that the opponent's red value was too high and he had just shot the first arrow, he did not hesitate to add another arrow.
Zong Tuyuan's personal guards reacted quickly enough, but they were still no match for Ren Ning's black arrows.
flutter!
There was a muffled sound.
Before Zong Tuyuan, whose hands were numb, could react, the black arrow had already hit his neck.
"What an amazing archery skill!" He struggled to say a word, and then he fell under the horse and died with his eyes open.
