At first, even Ning Hu felt that this was the last battle for the Tianji Camp guards. After all, Yangchang Mountain had been surrounded by thousands of enemy troops.
But when the fight actually started, Ning Hu discovered that the soldiers who were searching and suppressing Yangchang Mountain were not elite frontline troops at all. To be precise, they were not even regular troops.
Dozens of search and suppression soldiers form a dense formation, and are often overwhelmed by three or five Tianji Battalion guards.
Moreover...the opponent's weapons are mostly swords and leather shields rather than long weapons. It can be seen that the opponent is basically a second-rate troop temporarily mobilized.
Presumably the frontline war situation is extremely tight and it is impossible to mobilize a decent army.
Ning Hu was secretly happy and immediately led the remaining Tianji Camp guards to form a team and charge down the mountain.
There is a steady stream of search and suppression teams coming to support, but they cannot form effective combat effectiveness at all. It is simply a tactic to add fuel to the fire. Often, as soon as a wave of search and suppression reinforcements rush forward, more than half of them are damaged in a single encounter.
The guards of the Tianji Battalion directly transformed from fighting trapped beasts to descending from the mountain to fierce tigers, charging and killing all the way, no one could stop them.
In less than an hour, Ning Hu led the guards of the Tianji Camp to the foot of the mountain. There were dozens of search and suppression soldiers following them all the way. However, seeing the outstanding combat effectiveness of the guards of the Tianji Camp, they only dared to watch from a distance and did not dare to step forward to fight. .
Even Ning Hu himself couldn't believe that he could actually escape in the face of an encirclement and suppression by thousands of people.
Ning Hu led the remaining 220 Tianji Camp guards, supporting each other and running towards the north.
"Brothers, let's go home!" Ning Hu shouted excitedly.
The second captain couldn't believe his ears: "Ning Qianhu, go home? Don't you want to fight?"
Ning Hu was already in a state of embarrassment, but his expression was unprecedentedly relaxed: "The enemy army can't mobilize a decent army to surround us. It shows how anxious the battle is on the front line. Our mission has been completed, and there is no granary or armory to supply it." We burned it, there is no point in staying any longer.”
Although the guards of the Tianji Battalion were all ruthless masters who were not afraid of death, when they learned that the mission was over and they could go home, all the guards cheered and some even cried for joy on the spot.
"It's great, I'm finally going home."
"Hahaha, you damn Beidi people. Grandpas are leaving, so there's no need to send them off."
"If it weren't for the limited military supplies and supplies we carried, I wouldn't be afraid even if we had to kill for several more months. I think the Beidi people are lucky. Having said that, Mr. Qin will definitely be very happy if he sees us withdrawing to Beixi County."
"No, I have 300 guards from the Tianji Battalion. If we leave 80 brothers in Beidi, Mr. Qin will definitely feel very distressed."
Just as the guards were supporting each other and running toward the beam, a figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Ning Hu waved his hand, and everyone immediately stopped walking, jumped onto the starting blocks, and watched the approaching black figure with great vigilance.
Ning Hu simply raised his rifle and aimed at the black figure like a javelin, preparing to kill it directly. Anyway, this was the territory of Beidi, and there would definitely be no reinforcements.
Just when Ning Hu was about to throw the ball out, an accent that clearly belonged to Daliang sounded.
"Are there guards from the Tianji Battalion in front?!"
Ning Hu slowed down his movements and frowned slightly: "Who is coming?"
The black shadow approached and responded: "Jinyiwei!"
Hearing the words 'Jin Yiwei', Ning Hu's tight body instantly relaxed, and he quickly took a few steps forward to meet him. With the help of the faint moonlight, he discovered that the other party's clothes were exactly the same as Jin Yiwei's.
Ning Hu didn't know whether to be surprised or surprised: "Jin Yiwei's brother? Why did you come here?"
Jinyiwei cupped his fists, his eyes full of awe: "Ning Qianhu, as early as ten days ago, Master Qin gave the order for Jinyiwei to carry military supplies and infiltrate into Beidi territory and support you at all costs. However, the border area of Beidi is vast and sparsely populated. There are also various armies running back and forth, it is really difficult to find your whereabouts, so we have to break into pieces and look for your traces everywhere."
As soon as he said this, Ning Hu was extremely grateful: "Brothers of Jinyiwei, thank you for your hard work!"
The guards behind him were all roaring with enthusiasm.
"Let me tell you, Mr. Qin will never forget us!"
"Young Master Qin knew that we were trapped in the enemy's country and it was difficult to support us, but he still sent people here. Just as Mr. Qin often said, we are all brothers. We will die even if we can work hard for Mr. Qin. .”
Just as the guards were excited, Jin Yiwei poured a basin of cold water on them.
"You must not go any further. The news that you are trapped on Yangchang Mountain has been known to the troops stationed on the Beidi front line. A cavalry team is already coming this way."
What the Tianji Camp guards feared the most was the cavalry. Once entangled by the cavalry, harassed by horse bows, and trampled by their mounts, even the Tianji Camp guards who were at the pinnacle of infantry combat would only suffer a one-sided massacre.
Ning Hu lost all the smile on his face and frowned: "In that case, isn't this the only way for us to bypass the cavalry?"
The Jinyiwei shook his head repeatedly: "It's useless. Now the entire front line has been reduced to a pot of porridge. The Beidi army has spread from the front line into our territory of Liang State, stationed all the way. In addition, Chen Si was plotted by the Tianji Camp guards and lost an arm. He attacked the guards We are deeply disgusted and have sent orders to all garrison stations to guard to the death. Not only the front lines, but also the garrison troops in the counties on the border of Beidi are looking for you."
"If you rush back to the north, you will inevitably be exposed. The safest way right now is to find a hiding place and take shelter temporarily. We have already chosen this place, just follow me."
Ning Hu knew very well that the action of the guards of the Tianji Battalion had caused a lot of trouble to Beidi, especially the burning of the granary, which had to redistribute food and grass in various places, which indirectly led to the early start of the war.
Not to mention Chen Si, even the Beidi armies would never let the Tianji Camp guards leave Beidi alive.
Right now we can only hide for now and make plans later.
Ning Hu no longer hesitated and immediately led the Tianji Camp guards to follow the Jinyi Guards towards the east and took shelter in a mountain depression called Qingyu Mountain.
…
Daliang, Yongshou County.
At dawn, the general on horseback was woken up by his deputy.
"General, please go out and take a look!"
The cavalry general thought there was an enemy, so he got out of bed and ran barefoot towards the city gate tower without even having time to put on his shoes. When they reached the city gate and saw the scene outside the city, even the generals who had seen countless strong winds and waves couldn't help but be stunned.
The originally unprotected Yongshou County town now has a completely different scene.
In just one night, the moat in front of the county town has been dug, which is one foot wide and nine feet deep, and engineers are continuing to dig towards both sides of the city.
At the same time, brand new horse-rejecting stakes were placed above the moat.
