There is smoke everywhere, where to go?
The guards all looked westward in unison.
Since the Xingluo people can come over the mountain without a trace, they can naturally slip away from Huchou Mountain without a trace.
At this time, taking advantage of the chaos in the pass, it is not difficult to escape. As long as you go to Huchou Mountain, you can either climb over the mountain and leave or go to some hidden place.
The mountains are high, the forests are dense, and the fog covers the sky. It is not difficult to escape.
"You all go separately and inform the generals above the rank of 1,000 to let them go first!" Ruan Qianren shook his head and rejected the suggestions of the guards.
"General!" everyone exclaimed.
Ruan Qianren sadly left the tent, raised his head and looked at the southern sky with shame on his face.
"Thirteen years ago, I was trusted by the king to ask Huchou to take care of me. For more than ten years, the entire Huchou family, with two hundred thousand brothers, has worked hard to guard our country. Everyone has performed their duties loyally and never neglected their duties."
"Now that Yun Chui's troops are approaching the city, Huchou Pass is about to be breached and people will be killed. It is purely my fault, Ruan, for underestimating the enemy and rushing in and commanding improperly. It has nothing to do with you dedicated soldiers..."
"General," someone cried out in pain, "this is not your fault. There are actually many people in Yunchui and they are as cunning as foxes, and it happened that heavy fog fell from the sky to block our sight. Then..."
The man choked up and said, "It is true that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years. The shame of today will be repaid in the future. Let's leave for now. There will be plenty of opportunities to come back in the future."
Ruan Qianren drew out his sword and stared silently.
"You don't need to persuade me. I am the general guarding the Huchou Pass. If people are in the lock, they will perish."
"Go and give the order."
The guards rushed over and said in unison: "Since the general won't leave, we will follow you to the death!"
"Brothers, you are interested." Ruan Qianren used his sword as a crutch and leaned on the ground, laughing heartily.
"It's just that our people in Nanfeng are not many, and there are only a handful of generals who have knowledge and can lead troops. All of you who are still alive at this time and the generals on the city outside are the most precious seeds of Nanfeng. From now on, this country will I still need you to protect me.”
"Death is indeed nothing to be afraid of. Once you close your eyes, everything becomes empty, that's all. It's a relief. But who will resist the wolf-like tiger Yun Chui in the north, and who will protect the fellow villagers in the south behind you?"
The guards were speechless and tried to persuade him for a while.
Ruan Qianren remained unmoved.
They had no choice but to wipe the water off their faces and go around to pass on orders.
bring it on!
Ruan Qianren dragged out a chair from the room and sat in front of the door.
south
The soldiers from the three counties of Yunchui climbed up to the top of the city, and soon the entire Huchou Pass turned into a sea of fire. In less than half an hour, the flames of war had burned through the central army and spread to the city in the north.
Under the northern city wall
Yuan Xingwen, the commander of Zhennan Pass, stared at the three flags emerging from the city.
Jiang, Wu, Mo!
When he saw clearly the words "dragon flying and phoenix dancing" on the order flag, he was so angry that he was so angry.
"You haven't eaten yet? The south side of Huchou Pass has been conquered by the local defense forces from Baihua, Xiyu and Canglan counties. What about you? You are soldiers of Zhennan Pass built with a lot of money, and you are the border guards."
"Don't tell me that you are worse than the local garrison!"
Several generals around him blushed.
Clang clang clang.
They pulled out their swords in unison and threw them to the ground.
After bowing their hands towards Yuan Xingwen, the generals drew out their weapons and rushed toward the city wall with murderous intent.
There was deathly silence around Yuan Xingwen, and everyone looked at the scattered swords on the ground.
These swords are not used for killing people, but are issued by the Ministry of War, representing the owner's status in the military.
Throwing away the accompanying sword means that if they cannot attack the city, they are no longer worthy of being a general.
Perhaps the soldiers on top of the city had already gained an advantage, or perhaps the generals had gone into battle in person and the climb up the ladder went smoothly.
After a while, soldiers from Zhennanguan finally climbed up to the top of the city.
This man was like a wounded wolf, roaring and killing the stubborn enemy.
south.
The barrier under the city gate was finally dug open, and the three county guards filed in surrounded by their personal guards.
They are in a happy mood and have spring breeze on their faces.
In recent years, Nanfeng has been sending people secretly to the north, setting fires and committing evil acts in Baihua and Canglan counties from time to time. When the garrison finally arrived, they missed the target and the opponent was nowhere to be found.
They were often pointed at and pointed at.
Either they accused Huai and Sang of neglecting their duties, or they scolded them openly or secretly for being in jail and committing theft. Anyway, it’s as frustrating as it is.
Now that he had won a great victory, he looked at Huchou Pass, a sea of fire in front of him, and the corpses of people all over the ground. It can be said that the three of them expressed the anger that they had been feeling for a long time.
"Where is the Xingluo people? Who is the general leading the army?" they asked.
Without the previous help from the Starfall Legion, it is estimated that many of them would have died before they could even climb to the top of the city.
Ren Ning was not at Huchou Pass at this time.
Not long ago, I saw that the troops from the three counties had an advantage. He did not hesitate to blow the whistle and withdraw his troops. The Xingluo people decisively climbed down the city wall and collectively retreated into the Valley of Tiger Sorrow.
In order to attack the city wall and disrupt the defender's advantage on top of the city. The casualties among the Starfall soldiers were inevitable. Ren Ning could foresee this and not care too much about it.
At this time, the city's head was broken, and Yun Chui's colleagues had most of the advantages. He wouldn't let his subordinates fight to the death.
After all, there are still 80,000 troops in Huchou Pass.
Even if 80,000 pigs were lined up to be chopped, it would still take a long time. What's more, the 80,000 Nanfeng soldiers who were forced to a dead end?
If a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, it will inevitably increase casualties.
The most important thing is that the whole team climbed over mountains and ridges for a day and a night before reaching Huchou Mountain, and then headed towards Huchou Pass non-stop. By this time, they were already exhausted and it was time to rest.
Entering the Huchou Valley, the grain and grass in the valley were still burning, but Ren Ning couldn't put out the fire unless he was prepared to put it out.
He directly asked his subordinates to eat some solid food and rest first.
But something happened soon.
"General, more than 350 people sneaked into the Valley of Tiger Sorrow. They were all dressed as generals, commanders and personal guards. They seemed to want to escape to the mountains."
Ren Ning looked strange.
Although everyone was tired, he still deployed manpower at the sentry posts on the left and right mountains to avoid accidents.
At this time, the only two roads up the mountain are in the hands of the Starfall Legion. If these 350 people really dare to get in, they will be asking for death!
"Close the door and beat the dog!" Ren Ning was not ready to let them go, and made a cheerful gesture.
No matter who goes out to fight, they want to get more military glory. No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, so don’t waste them if they are delivered to your door.
And these three hundred and fifty people are not mosquito legs.
They are all senior generals. The military merit obtained by killing or capturing one is more cost-effective than killing dozens of minions.
The soldier who reported the news knew it and ran to deliver the message with a smile.
The battle started quickly and ended quickly.
"Stop!" shouted a voice above his head.
Countless torches lit up.
Wow!
More than 300 people were mercilessly blocked in the passage up the mountain.
Looking up, there are densely packed bows and arrows above; looking down, there are sharp knives and spears below.
The Xingluo people were exhausted, and these Nanfeng generals could not give way even if they charged and killed them all night long. Looking up and down, they quickly lost all fighting spirit. At this time, whether you rush up or jump down, it is a dead end.
A fierce general raised his sword and shouted: "Everyone is dead above and below, brothers, charge forward. Kill one Yun Chui Gou to earn enough money, kill two to earn more..."
Boo hoo hoo.
Xingluo Man didn't give his opponent a chance to get close, so he shot countless arrows at him unceremoniously, instantly turning him and those who were close into hedgehogs.
The tumultuous sounds suddenly stopped.
Someone lay on the ground with a pale face and his head in his arms, and directly put down his weapon.
"Don't shoot the arrows, we surrender!"
This man's Yun Chui language was quite fluent, at least there was no misunderstanding.
Clang clang clang.
Weapons were put down one after another, and soon the more than 350 people were tied up by the Xingluo soldiers who rushed towards them like wolves and tigers.
