Huang Ming looked at Ren Ning expectantly.
Although he and the guards of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion had been trained for a long time and were able to charge into the battle, they were a little reluctant to capture the fighter planes and deploy the troops.
"Sir, if you are not in a hurry, why don't you take us to do something and grab some food and grass from the Xiliang people?"
"Master Huang?" The Thunder Dragon next to him looked at Ren Ning suspiciously, and was very confused by Huang Ming's sudden surge of confidence.
Could this censor with no hair on his chin still lead troops in war?
Huang Ming said nothing, still looking at Ren Ning eagerly.
Ren Ning stared at the map and thought for a while: "Know the enemy and know yourself, and a hundred battles will never end. Let's go and get a feel for the situation tonight."
His return date is eight years next year, so there is plenty of time to get there. If I can help now, of course I want to, otherwise I won't be able to visit the Duke's Mansion next door when I return to the imperial capital.
"Great." Huang Ming punched his fist in his hand excitedly and hurried out to arrange it. The Brontosaurus was left with a confused face.
Zhui Feng and Ben Lei both brought some dry food.
Ren Ning went out for a walk, and when he came back, he took out all the food on his horse and gave it to the thunder dragon.
He was a little apologetic, "Because the journey is too long, we don't have much food with us. But these are some good dried meats. Lei Qianchang took them to soak, and the brothers can still share a bite or two."
…
Thunder Dragon opened his mouth, but no words came out.
He cupped his hands high, took the two pieces of dry food and hurried away.
When it was time to hold up the lights, Huang Ming and Thunder Dragon both returned to the big tent.
"Brother Ren," Huang Ming pointed to the foot of the mountain, "from now on, the 306 guards of the Duke's Mansion, including me, Huang Ming, will listen to your orders."
Thunder Dragon was taken aback and glanced at Ren Ning again.
The guards of Zhenguo Duke's Mansion are almost equivalent to the soldiers of Yanchuo Fortress, which are not something that ordinary people can command.
He quickly said seriously: "Sir, if you need it, my 2,200 Dingxi County soldiers will definitely cooperate."
Ren Ning was not surprised. He asked the soldiers from Dingxi to stay and have a good rest, and took the guards of Zhenguo Palace to the sleepy dragon's nest.
The camp needed someone to stay behind, so Brontosaurus sent a capable bodyguard to follow him.
The little guard became more and more stunned as he walked further.
Lei Er, who carries a heavy saber in his hand, can tell at a glance that he is a fierce general, who travels across mountains and rivers tirelessly. The supervisory censor could actually walk through the mountains and forests as lightly and skillfully as a cheetah.
And judging from the way he was so at ease and never even changed directions, he seemed to be more familiar with this mountain forest than they were.
Who is this person?
The little guard became confused, and finally could only follow him panting.
The Thunder Dragon's camp is some distance from the Sleeping Dragon's nest. The group walked for three hours, and when they were almost at midnight, they saw dense fires in the small basin in front of them.
The trapped dragon's nest has arrived.
Ren Ning climbed up a big tree with a swish, took out his binoculars and looked forward.
This night the moon is sparse with stars and the view is good.
He observed it for a while, then made a few gestures toward the tree.
Lei Er casually named five guards from the Zhenguo Palace, "Follow me."
The young guard walked up to Huang Ming and asked in a low voice: "Master Huang, where are they going?"
Huang Ming chuckled: "We should kill the sentry not far away."
"What to do?" Thunder Dragon's bodyguard was even more confused.
Sentries are the first line of defense for camps. They are mostly set up in dark places and are usually difficult to detect.
They had never thought of attacking the Xiliang people before. However, every time he was discovered by the sentry as soon as he got close, he could only return without success.
The guard was wondering, and soon the sound of an owl purring was heard in front of him.
Ren Ning got off the tree and waved for everyone to follow.
Under a big tree, two Xiliang people with tall noses and blue eyes were lying quietly. Their necks were broken without anyone noticing, and they died peacefully.
"Holy shit! Master." The little guard came over to take a look and was immediately speechless.
He no longer thought about it and just followed behind and became an ordinary soldier.
The team moved slower and slower, but the little guard's heart was beating harder and harder.
He was not scared but excited.
This is the first time that Dingxi County soldiers have been so close to the Xiliang people's camp since they retreated to Luoxia Mountain for so long, and it seems that the other party is not aware of it at all.
Comparing people to each other makes people angry.
For a moment, the little guard felt disgusted with Thunder Dragon as his boss.
Moo, baa baa...
From time to time, the real sounds of cattle and sheep could be heard.
Gudong!
I don't know who swallowed the saliva.
However, Ren Ning did not let the team go straight to the foot of the mountain, but continued to go west along the ridge of the hill.
Everyone was feeling itchy and helpless. The more they listened to the braying of the cattle and sheep below, the more they felt hungry.
Huang Ming looked at Ren Ning's back in front of him and even wanted to open his mouth many times.
General Ren, this hill is less than ten feet high. As long as the brothers rush down at once, they can pick up the sheep and run away before the Xiliang people turn around.
When the time came to hide in the mountains, they didn't even look for it.
Just wanting to think about it, Huang Ming knew Ren Ning's ability, so he could only bite his lower lip without making a sound, and carefully followed the team forward.
Gradually the sounds of cattle and sheep disappeared. The hill below has reached its end, and the only way to go further is to go down the mountain.
At this time, they had circled to the northwest of Kunlong's Nest, behind the Xiliang people.
It can be said that in just half a night, they investigated half of the trapped dragon's nest.
It's just obviously unwise to go down the mountain to grab food from here. Once the Xiliang people are awakened, their way back to the camp will be cut off.
However, Ren Ning waved the team down the mountain.
He could see clearly in the telescope.
The red dots here are the thinnest, even if there are numbers, they are not large.
With their skills, they can sneak in and do it without any sound, and then go back from the mountain.
Although the place where the cattle and sheep were croaking in front was close to the west, the red lights were flashing everywhere, indicating that the Xiliang people had set up many ambushes, and it was simply a trap.
Huang Ming was faintly surprised, but the team had already started. He stopped thinking about it, tightened his weapon and followed quietly.
After Lei Er destroyed several more warning posts, the group of people sneaked into the camp smoothly.
Ren Ning did not follow, but sat on a big tree and looked around with a telescope.
He wasn't surprised.
After all, the people of Xiliang were born and raised in the grasslands, and have long been accustomed to seeing friends and foes indiscriminately.
Now that we have reached the Luoxia Mountains, which are covered with mountains and forests, we obviously don’t know what to do.
Just like when he first crossed over, he was heavily surrounded in the grassland. However, as soon as he got into the bushes, the Xiliang people were helpless, and in the end they could only set fire to the grass.
It is difficult to say that there is no reason for this.
Ren Ning observed carefully for a while and silently put down the telescope.
If the defense system of Nanfeng Song Dingcheng can reach 90%, the Xiliang people in their eyes probably have less than 50%. And it's obvious that he doesn't care about the end.
The camp near the east is more heavily defended. The defense at the western end is purely the same as that of the Kailun tribe. They only placed some small soldiers around the camp as police sentries, and chopped some branches and thorns and threw them outside the barracks to serve as roadblocks. That was all.
It can be said to be better than nothing.
"Blessed by our ancestors, don't be discovered by the Xiliang people." Huang Ming's palms were all sweaty.
As long as he is discovered, it is estimated that the more than 300 guards he brought with him will have to be kept here.
However, after turning left and right, his eyes lit up. In front of him were carts of dried meat neatly placed there.
After regaining consciousness, Huang Ming cut off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
Mmm, it smells so good!
