Ren Ning ran forward halfway up the hill, raised his telescope and looked toward the east.
Ahead, both the mountains and the canyons were pitch black, and everything was quiet.
Not to mention the reinforcements from the Japanese pirates, there were not even messengers to send messages back and forth.
It was as if this team had been abandoned by Kudo Naoto.
Ren Ning frowned.
Although before coming out of Dachun Valley, he got the news that there was no support from the opponent's rear.
However, when he saw it in person, Ren Ning still couldn't help but feel a little confused.
This band of Japanese pirates can be said to have become a lone army, which is a taboo for military strategists.
Moreover, despite Jiang Xuesong's fierce attack, no rescue or even notification was sent to the rear.
I don’t know whether the leading general is extremely confident or arrogant.
However, no matter what the reason was, if the enemies in the canyon did not send out a call for help, Ren Ning's idea of encircling the point for reinforcements came to nothing.
There were only five thousand people, and the Xingluo soldiers were still a bit unsatisfied to kill.
After a long while, Ren Ning touched Lei Er again.
"Send the order and block the Japanese pirates' retreat to the east, so that the brothers don't have to kill them yet. Wait for them to find a way to ask for help."
Lei Er understood what Ren Ning meant as soon as he heard it, and happily led the soldiers to the rear of the Japanese pirates.
The time soon came to Yinshi, the time when people and horses are most tired.
During the day, the Japanese pirates were busy traveling and attacking Wu Siyuan's outpost. At night, they were working hard to repair the fortifications. They were still fighting Jiang Xuesong in the first half of the night. Many people in the rear were already yawning from sleepiness.
Chirp~~
A sharp whistle sounded.
Wow.
The mountains and forests on both sides of the rear were suddenly filled with countless torches. The dense lighting made the Japanese pirates inside and outside the outpost feel panicked.
what's the situation?
Before they could understand the situation.
"Kill!" A murderous cry rang out.
Whoosh!
Countless arrows were shot out from the woods, flying towards the Japanese pirates not far away at lightning speed, instantly knocking them to the ground.
"Enemy attack!"
"There are enemies on the mountain!"
The quick-reacting Japanese pirates screamed and looked for places to hide.
More people couldn't help but rush to the west, hoping to squeeze into the large army as soon as possible to save their lives.
Arrows kept flying in the woods, ruthlessly harvesting those Japanese pirates who could not escape.
Boom boom boom!
A series of wooden valve sounds sounded.
It didn't take long for several big trees to fall down under the anxious eyes of the Japanese pirates, blocking the eastward post road.
Ha ha!
Lei Er laughed and ran to the big tree, and planted a flag heavily on the post road.
The breeze blows and the flag unfurls.
The Japanese pirates who had just escaped from the arrows and were still in shock took a closer look.
In the flickering firelight, the flag looked a little blurry, but the pattern on it could still be distinguished clearly.
A scimitar and a long sword are crossed together, working together to resist the blazing falling stars in the sky.
"Xingluo!" Someone among the Japanese pirates screamed in panic, "That's the Xingluo military flag!"
"What starfall military flag? Where is it?"
"Look, it's that flag!"
Buzz~
The news spread quickly.
All the Japanese pirates who got the news, whether they saw clearly the military flag Lei Er planted on the post road or not, felt their hearts sinking.
The Starfall Legion crossed the Unchui border and entered Baekje in early March.
The generals leading the Japanese pirates knew this very well and knew that sooner or later they would not be able to hide it, so they simply told all the soldiers under their command early on.
But no one expected that the Starfall Legion would appear in the remote Yuanning Mountains so quickly and block their only retreat.
Against Baekje, their old rival, the Japanese pirates would win at least seven or eight out of ten battles.
Therefore, although Jiang Xuesong attacked with great intensity and brought a lot of troops, there was basically no great pressure on the Japanese pirates, from the generals down to the small soldiers.
However, when they heard that the Starfall Legion was coming, it was just a flag on the post road, including the general, they felt a little cold in their hearts.
Some people looked around in panic, "General Sanyo, what should we do?"
There are steep mountains on both sides of the outpost.
They are unfamiliar with the place and cannot climb up unless they break up the organization. However, if they break up the organization when they are trapped in a tight siege, it is almost a dead end.
As for the west, in front of you are Jiang Xuesong who is constantly attacking and two checkpoints built by Baekje. This road is obviously blocked.
As for the east, there stands the world-famous Starfall Legion...
Sanyo, who led the troops, only hesitated for less than half a second, "Send three cloud-piercing arrows to ask for help from the general."
Whoosh!
Three cloud-piercing arrows immediately flew into the sky.
Bang bang bang!
After the loud explosion, three magnificent fireworks bloomed in the night sky, which were extremely beautiful and lasted for a long time.
"What's going on ahead?" Jiang Xuesong, who was covered in blood from the beating, looked a little startled at the movement in the sky.
"General," a soldier hurried back, "the Starfall Legion blocked the retreat of this group of Japanese pirates. They were so frightened that they fired arrows and asked for help."
"Really?" Jiang Xuesong perked up.
"Absolutely true!"
Ha ha.
Jiang Xuesong was instantly elated, "Brothers! The Starfall Legion is attacking these Japanese pirates from both sides with us. They were so frightened that they fired arrows and asked for help. Everyone, work harder and kill them with me, General!"
"yes!"
"knew!"
"Kill him for his stupidity."
Countless voices responded excitedly, and then followed their vanguard to press forward crazily.
The principle of beating a drowned dog is not only understood by Yun Jue, but also by Baekje people.
The formation of the Japanese pirates became obviously chaotic.
Originally the two sides were fighting evenly, but now they were beaten back by Baekje.
On the mountainside to the east, Ren Ning watched the fireworks in the sky with satisfaction.
"These five thousand Japanese pirates are dead." He patted the bodyguard beside him, "I'll go first, and you ask Lei Er and others to follow them."
As for Liang Rushu of the first battalion, let him temporarily block the retreat of the Japanese pirates in front of him and completely destroy them.
Along the east coast.
There were dots of fire everywhere, illuminating the sky and the earth.
Some of these flames spread from the sea to the land, which was the continuous landing of Japanese pirate soldiers and people from the mainland.
Another part of the fire was caused by the civilians who were sleeping and scrambling against time to open up wasteland after landing.
Some of them are working hard to build war fortresses and tools of war in case Baekje comes and drives them into the sea again; others are working hard to plow the ground, hoping to sow as many seeds as possible before the end of spring plowing.
On a hill less than thirty miles away from the shore, large swaths of temporary tents were erected.
The vigilant guards noticed the fireworks in the sky to the west and quickly informed the general who was busy in the tent.
Naoto Kudo walked out. He raised his head and looked deeply at the fireworks to the west.
"This is our distress signal. Where is its location?"
"Return to the general. The signal location is approximately at the Baekje outpost on the East-West Post Road. It should be a request for help signal sent by General Sanyo."
Kudo Naoto nodded, "It seems they fell into a trap. The Baekje people clearly gave up the outpost on purpose, but Sanyo rushed in happily."
What a great success.
Several Japanese pirate generals also got the news, and although they were all sleepy-eyed, they gathered around from the surrounding tents.
"General, it's not too far from Yilu Outpost. If we urgently dispatch to rescue Sanyo now, it should be too late!"
Kudo Naoto was silent for a while, then pointed at a short general, "Matsushita, take a thousand people and rush over quickly to have a look. Be careful on the road."
"If something can't be done, just get back in time."
The generals nearby were startled, "General, if you can surround Sanyang's five thousand people, Baekje must mobilize at least twice as many people..."
Isn’t it enough for Panasonic to only bring a thousand people there?
well!
Kudo Naoto let out a long sigh.
"We have just arrived, and we don't have any horses to travel with us. Although it's not far from the Baekje outpost, the soldiers ran all the way there. Not to mention saving Sanyo, it's also a question of whether they can draw the bow."
Everyone couldn't help but remain silent.
"Matsushita," Naoto Kudo continued: "Thousands of you are not here to save Sanyo, but to find out how Wu Siyuan trapped Sanyo. Do you understand?"
He had known Wu Siyuan since they were in Yunchuixingji City.
Baekje is not a big country, but the country is a mess.
Although this old classmate was called the Guarding General, Wu Siyuan did not have that much power, and the generals under him were not very obedient at all.
Nowadays, it is a strange thing to be able to unite to attack Sanyo.
