Although he and the guards of the Zhenguo Palace had been trained for a long time and were able to charge into battle, they were a bit reluctant to capture the fighter planes and march into formation.
"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 and still looked 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 he has plenty of time to travel. If he can help now, of course he must, otherwise he will not be able to visit the Duke's Mansion in the next town when he returns to the imperial capital.
"That's great." Huang Ming punched his fist in his hand excitedly, and hurried out to arrange it. Leaving behind a confused Brontosaurus.
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 one or two bites."
…
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 put on 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 startled and looked at Ren Ning again.
The guards of Zhenguo Duke's Mansion are almost equivalent to the soldiers of Yanchuo Fortress, which cannot be commanded by ordinary people.
He quickly said seriously: "Sir, if you need it, my 2,200 Dingxi County soldiers will definitely cooperate."
Ren Ning was not surprised, so he asked the soldiers from Dingxi to stay and have a good rest, and took the guards of Zhenguo Palace to the trapped dragon's nest.
The camp needed someone to stay behind, so Thunder Dragon sent a capable bodyguard to follow him.
The little guard became more and more stunned as he walked further.
Lei Er, who was carrying a heavy saber, could tell at a glance that he was a fierce general who traveled tirelessly through mountains and rivers. The supervisory censor could actually walk through the mountains and forests as lightly and deftly as a cheetah.
And judging from the way he was so at ease and never even changed direction, 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 was some distance away from the Sleeping Dragon's nest. The group walked for three hours, and only when they arrived at midnight did they see dense fires in the small basin in front of them.
The trapped dragon's nest has arrived.
Ren Ning climbed up a big tree, took out his telescope and looked forward.
This night there are few stars in the moon and the view is good.
He observed it for a while, and then made a few gestures towards the tree.
Lei Er casually ordered 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 find.
They had never thought about sneak attacks on the Xiliang people before. However, every time they were discovered by the sentry as soon as they got close, they could only return without success.
The guard was wondering when an owl's purring sound 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 lay 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 didn't think much about it and just followed behind and became an ordinary soldier.
The team moved slower and slower, but the heart of the little guard was beating harder and harder.
He was not scared but excited.
This is the first time that the soldiers of Dingxi County 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 with each other makes people angry.
For a while, the little guard felt a little disgusted with Thunder Dragon as his boss.
Moo moo, baa baa...
From time to time, the real sounds of cattle and sheep could be heard in my ears.
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 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, they hid in the mountains, but they didn't even look for it.
Just wanting to think about it, Huang Ming knew Ren Ning's ability, so he had to bite his lower lip without making a sound, and carefully followed the team forward.
Gradually, the sounds of cattle and sheep were no longer heard. The hill at our feet also reached the end, and we could only go downhill further.
At this time, they had already arrived at the northwest side 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 just waved the team to go 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 big.
With their skills, they were able to sneak in without making a sound, work hard, and then go back from the mountain.
Although the place where the cows 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 randomly, 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 was not 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 are probably less than 50%. And it is obvious that they care about the head and not the tail.
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 put some soldiers around the camp as sentries, and cut some branches and thorns and threw them outside the barracks to serve as roadblocks. That's all.
That's 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 of the Zhenguo Palace he brought will have to be accounted for here.
However, after turning left and right, his eyes lit up. In front of him were carts of dried meat arranged neatly.
After regaining consciousness, Huang Ming cut off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
