Ren Ning stood on a hillock not far from the river and looked around.
In front of the hill is a small town that has long been deserted.
The town was deserted. The residents were either dead or had fled the war. Only a few ownerless thatched houses were left, telling the story of the prosperity of the past.
Tap tap tap.
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and several strong horses came straight around the town.
"General," Xiao Gang said, still smelling of blood.
He turned over and jumped off Bai Yu, walked quickly to Ren Ning and saluted.
"Mission accomplished?" Ren Ning asked with a smile.
Xiao Gang nodded hahaly.
"Back to the general, the mission of the fifth battalion has been completed. There has been no response from Tazigou. I guess Matsushita Yang still hasn't discovered our whereabouts."
"Very good." Ren Ning was very satisfied, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers."
"It's just a trivial matter." Xiao Gang waved his hand and said proudly: "Brothers still think that this mission is too simple and the fight is not satisfying."
As he spoke, he frowned and looked left and right.
"Where are the two Lei?"
This is a war zone, Japanese pirates appear from time to time, and there are many dangers around.
And Ren Ning is now not only the forward lieutenant of the Starfall Army, but also the supreme commander of the East Coast of Baekje. Most importantly, he is the important King Ning of Yunzhui.
No matter which identity you have, you must not lose anything.
Ren Ning smiled and pointed in the direction, "I just asked him to do something."
He consoled him: "As you just said, Matsushita Yang from Tazigou has not responded. It is very safe here."
Xiao Gang didn't agree, so he quickly looked around and saw that adequate safety measures had been taken around him, so he gave up.
Ren Ning smiled and shook his head.
He has a golden finger. As long as he lifts the telescope and looks around, he will know better than anyone whether there is any danger nearby.
The two talked about Lei Er and surrounding safety issues.
Ren Ning just handed over the battle report he just received.
"Wu Siyuan's side has just opened the Yuanning Pass. Jiang Xuesong is now leading his men and horses to attack the Qinshui River. There are not many troops left in Jiutang Naoto's hands. He is now surrounded by enemies on all sides. He will probably think of Tazigou soon.
Matsushita Yang, and recall those 30,000 people."
"The mission of the fifth battalion is to find a way to lead people to stop them."
"It's an order." Xiao Gang was surprised and happy.
With the Yuanning Mountains opened and Baekje armies pouring out, Xingluo will be able to free up more manpower to do other work.
However, the place where he just performed the mission was a bit far away from here. If the general wants to issue an order, he can just find a messenger to convey it. Why bother to make a trip himself?
Despite this, Xiao Gang nodded loudly in agreement immediately.
"Very good." Ren Ning clicked on the coastline on the map.
He raised his voice.
"Attention, your fifth battalion's mission this time is to stop Matsushita Yang, not to kill! In short, eat them if you can, harass them if you can't, and try to drive them to the southern seaside."
cough.
Xiao Gang coughed lightly.
"General, Matsushita Yang has 30,000 people. Although the number is a bit too many, judging from the battles in Tazigou these days, most of his men are just ordinary people without training."
"Whether it's actions or doing things, they delay it as long as they can, and fool them if they can't. It can be said that military discipline and morale are nothing."
"The fifth battalion only has a thousand people, but if the brothers want to eat them, it shouldn't be difficult. I think my subordinates will lead the men to charge two or three times, and they will get over it."
Ren Ning was not angry either. He nodded and said, "Ben will understand this."
Matsushita Yang, at best he was an obedient general, at worst he was a rigid person who didn't know how to adapt.
Kudo Naoto ordered him to guard Tazigou, so Matsushita Yo took 30,000 troops and stayed in Tazigou wholeheartedly. Not to mention daily training, he did not even dare to let the spies go too far.
The town where Ren Ning was at this time was not too far from Tazigou, but Matsushita Yang never noticed his existence. As a result, Kudo Naoto thought that Ren Ning had left the east coast of Baekje and even returned to Unchui.
.
The soldiers led by such a person, with the capabilities of five battalions, would probably collapse after just a few charges and kills.
Ren Ning typed on the map, "But my goal this time is not to Panasonic Yang, but to take a long-term approach to catch big fish."
Xiao Gang suddenly realized, "My subordinates understand and will drive Matsushita Yang's men to the beach."
"Very good." Ren Ning turned around and walked into the dilapidated small thatched pavilion behind him. He greeted Xiao Gang, "Bai Yu is eating horse food. Don't just stand around. Come over and eat something to fill your stomach."
"That's fine." Xiao Gang couldn't help but glance at his beloved horse.
These days, the Starfall Legion, from the general down to the small soldiers, has been fighting day and night.
Although the victory was brilliant, it was also extremely tiring.
Similarly, each war horse rarely rests, and can even be said to be more tired than its owner.
After all, humans can still eat on the roadside while driving, but war horses cannot.
At this time, Bai Yu seemed to be a little thinner than before, and his body was even covered with mud. His body, which was originally as white as snow, almost changed its appearance. At first glance, it looked like a yellow horse.
Fortunately, Xiao Gang's bodyguards are very discerning.
Seeing that his superiors were not in a hurry, he quickly asked for a basket of fine horse food to feed the horses. At the same time, he ran to the Jiamu River not far away to get a bucket of water and wash it.
The white horse was already very hungry, and now it was wagging its tail and chewing into the basket with a happy face.
Xiao Gang finally felt relieved.
Ren Ning raised a cup of tea and said, "Wu Siyuan has opened up the Yuanning Pass. The overall situation here is almost settled. If nothing else happens, it won't be long before we can return to China."
"What are your plans for coming down?"
"Plan?" Xiao Gang was stunned.
"Yes." Ren Ning nodded.
With the relationship between the two of them, there was no need for him to go through any hoops.
"Your father, Uncle Xiao, has now regained control of the East China Sea Barrier, and as the heir apparent, you should go back and learn naval tactics."
Xiao Gang suddenly frowned.
He already knew this in his heart.
No matter how much he likes the Starfall Legion, as the eldest son of the Zhongyong House, it is his duty to return and inherit the ancestral legacy.
Although his face was full of embarrassment, Xiao Gang reluctantly nodded.
It's just that the East China Sea barrier is now divided into two, and Xiao Zheng's future task is to protect the home coast.
After these days of fighting, Xiao Gang found that he actually preferred to charge into battle or expand territory, rather than staying at home and defending the city.
Ren Ning saw it.
He laughed and said, "If you really like running around, you can learn water warfare from General Lu. After all, they are all barriers to the East China Sea, so it will be the same wherever you go. It's just..."
It's just that Lu Fuhai will probably ask him to go to a certain battle camp level and start as a soldier.
Xiao Gang was noncommittal, but suddenly his eyes lit up.
"General, there's a mountain across the street. If I go to the Navy and start as a soldier, I'll have no problem. But if possible, I want to go to He Bai and learn from him."
Ren Ning subconsciously raised his head and glanced south.
"He Bai? That's fine, but you might as well go to Lu Pingan or Wan Shilei."
At least they are the fleet of the East China Sea Barrier.
The other three were similar in age and had similar temperaments, and they often boasted together when they were at Jinlongtan.
