After setting up simple obstacles, Ren Ning slapped Lei Er on the shoulder, "Remember, when the whistle blows, you will lead people to retreat to the mountain. Don't be reluctant to fight!"
The night was too dark and the fog was too thick, so the semaphore had completely lost its effect, so we had to use a whistle to remind us.
"Understood!" Lei Er leaned on the boulder and calmly wiped his machete.
Ren Ning nodded and ran towards the right mountain.
He did not take the straight road widened by the Second Battalion, but climbed up the cliff like a monkey, and soon reached the right sentry point.
"General!" the soldiers of the second battalion greeted each other one after another.
Ren Ning ignored them, took out a small hourglass and put it next to him, picked up the telescope and looked at Huchou Pass: "Don't worry about me. Keep an eye on the passage. The lives of thousands of brothers in the Fifth Battalion are in your hands."
If there are more enemies coming, and there are not a thousand archers on the left and right mountains to stop them, the 100 men led by Lei Er alone cannot stop them for long.
The soldiers quickly stared down.
Huchou Pass is not far away, and the Nanfeng Army arrived very quickly.
Almost as soon as Ren Ning climbed to the sentry post on the right mountain, General Shan appeared in front of Huchou Valley with a long line of men, horses and torches.
Lei Er chuckled and thrust the Xingluo military flag into the crack in the stone behind.
"Brothers, the meat is here! The meal is ready!"
The other soldiers laughed loudly, "Lei Guards, I bet it won't be our turn to take action with the first batch of people."
Ren Ning didn't know what Lei Er and others were doing below.
He held up his binoculars and searched, and soon found General Shan in a scarlet cloak, loudly urging his subordinates to move forward, surrounded by his personal guards.
Torches are really good things.
Ren Ning sighed, drew out the black arrow from his back, and coldly waited for the enemy general to enter his shooting range.
It didn't take long.
"Fire arrows!" Two roars.
Whoosh whoosh!
Nanfeng's army arrived in a hurry and did not bring many shields.
Not long after the soldiers rushed into the passage flanked by mountains on the left and right, arrows rained down from the mountains.
Ahhhh!
A series of screams sounded, and a group of people fell down in unison.
"Be careful. There is an ambush on the mountain!"
When the people who followed saw this situation, they were frightened and stopped quickly.
They wanted to stop. But the fog was too loud and noisy, and the people behind them had no idea what was happening in front of them, so they habitually pushed their accomplices forward.
When the Xingluo soldiers on the mountains on both sides saw this situation, they felt so happy.
There are too many enemies and they are too dense, and they hold up torches to serve as targets, so you can hit them without even aiming.
They were divided into three groups. The first group retreated after shooting, the second group took over, and the third group carried arrows and replaced the incapacitated archers at any time.
Whoosh!
Ahhhh!
Arrows were flying in random directions, one after another without mercy. The Nanfeng people below screamed and fell down one after another. Occasionally, a few people held shields and withstood several rounds of bows and arrows. Lei Er and others were already ferocious.
Waiting in front of them with a smile.
General Shan in the middle of the team is also experienced in many battles. When he gets closer and looks closer, he knows that there are not too many people on the left and right mountains, and the control channel is not too long.
He shouted loudly: "Attack! Everyone is not allowed to stop and rush in quickly. There are not many enemies. As long as you rush into the valley, you will be safe..."
The words have not yet been spoken!
call out!
A sharp howl sounded.
what is that?
General Shan shrank his eyes.
He saw something spinning and suddenly appeared from the dark night sky. Before he could react, his forehead was hit hard, his body fell back, and he immediately lost consciousness.
What an awesome archery skill!
This was his last thought.
The guards were stunned, and it took them a while to react.
Enemy attack!
One by one, they pounced on Shang Feng and tried to use them as human shields. However, when Ding Qing took a look, he discovered that there was a black arrow stuck deeply in the middle of General Shan's forehead.
The vanguard has been killed with one arrow, and there is no way to save him.
"General Nan Feng is dead!"
There was a lot of noise, and a half-baked Nanfeng dialect suddenly sounded from somewhere on the mountain. After a while, countless sentences "General Nanfeng is dead!" were rang out from the mountains on the left and right.
The Nanfeng soldiers were stunned and couldn't help but turn their heads to look.
They looked around, and sure enough they didn't see the leading general wearing a scarlet cloak under the military flag.
The general is dead!?
Everyone's heart suddenly became cold and their steps stopped involuntarily.
After another group of people fell in the hail of arrows, the entire offensive came to a halt.
Whoosh whoosh!
Several more arrows flew out of the darkness, and the soldiers at the front rushed back in panic, retreating some distance from the boss.
Ren Ning breathed a sigh of relief and took a moment to glance at the hourglass next to him.
Speaking of how fast it was in real time, it was only a little over half an hour since the attack started on the top of the cliff.
"How is it in the valley?" he asked.
"Back to the general, 90% of the warehouses in the valley have been set on fire. Five hundred people are left looking for ditch drains in preparation for destruction. Others have rushed over to support the Lei Guards."
Ren Ning nodded.
The food and fodder for 200,000 people would definitely be burned for a while. Only by draining all the water around the warehouse so that even if the Nanfeng people invaded, there would be no water to put out the fire, could the place be destroyed to the greatest extent.
However, the drainage outlet is not clearly visible on the ground like a warehouse, so it takes time to find it.
"Where are the roads leading from the sentinel points on both sides to the bottom of the valley?" he asked again.
In order to evacuate all the people and horses at the bottom of the valley as soon as possible, these two roads must be expanded to at least half a foot wide, and the slope cannot be too steep, which is not an easy task.
"Back to the general, most of the two roads have been completed. The two thousand chiefs have promised that the widening will definitely be completed within two-quarters of an hour."
Two quarters of an hour is half an hour!
Ren Ning glanced at the hourglass again, "How many more arrows are there?"
"Back to the general, there are a battalion of five hundred archers, most of them used a pot!"
"The second camp is about the same. Most people use one pot."
Ren Ning frowned.
Before leaving the Yingshan camp, everyone, including him, brought two pots of arrows, fifteen in each pot. As long as Nanfeng's shield formation didn't come over, it should be able to hold up for a while.
It's just that they have to go to the capital of Nanfeng after coming down, so they can't use up all their arrows here.
"Pass my order! The first battalion won't move. The five hundred archers of the second battalion will switch to melee weapons and go down to support Taniguchi."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Several messengers responded and rushed out of the sentry point on Youshan without hesitation.
Ren Ning's order spread quickly. People on the right mountain put down their bows and arrows and ran towards the bottom of the valley.
It is difficult to go up the mountain, but much easier to go down the mountain.
After a while, five hundred people from the second battalion rushed to Lei Er and others.
"What is the general's order? Attack?" He refreshed.
The ordering soldier did not explain, but raised his hand and pointed to the brightly lit passage.
"There are three large rubber trees in the shape of a Chinese character in front of you. The Lei Guards led a thousand brothers to fight there and then immediately retreated. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Lei Er was overjoyed.
Thick fog covered the sky and the ground, and he didn't have a telescope in his hand, so he couldn't see the three big rubber trees in the shape of a Chinese glyph, but Ren Ning's meaning was immediately clear.
It's nothing more than taking advantage of the enemy general's death and the panic of his soldiers to take the initiative to charge and harvest for a while, forcing the enemy back as far as possible. This not only lowers the enemy's morale, but also reduces the pressure on one's own side.
The most important thing is that he no longer has to watch the meat arrive at his door but cannot put it into his mouth.
"What a pity..." Lei Er muttered.
Unfortunately, Huchou Mountain is too steep, so all the horses were left in the Snake Valley. Otherwise, a round of cavalry would press through and they would be able to reach the Huchou Pass.
"Let's go!"
Without further ado, he pulled up the Xingluo military flag behind him, stuffed it into the hands of the soldier next to him, told him "Follow me", and then took the lead and rushed out.
When the others first came over, they had already been well-trained to find their corps commanders. The corps commander looked for the commander, and the commander looked for the chief. The chief waved his hand, and then the serial number strode behind Lei Er.
The dark passage has been illuminated by the torches brought by the Nanfeng people. However, the thick fog makes it difficult to see very far.
"Starfall!"
Everyone let out a loud roar, and before they could see the enemy's face clearly, they swung their swords to kill him.
