Chapter 124

Ruan Qianren took a deep look at the night sky outside the window.

The air is dull and pitch black, making it difficult to breathe.

It seemed like it was going to rain again.

"Keep an eye on the surrounding area of ​​Hushouguan, and beware of Xingluo people touching and attacking. Find out the whereabouts of these 3000 people as soon as possible." He said.

"Yes!" Several messengers put on heavy coir raincoats and walked away step by step.

"Report!"

Just as the last group of messengers had left, another person galloped into the central army on horseback with a shrieking voice.

"General, the latest news came back from the north. At noon yesterday, another [-] Xingluo people left Yingshan camp, heading east."

east?
Everyone in the big tent of the Chinese Army gasped for breath, and subconsciously looked up at the map.

From Yingshan Daying to the east, there are still layers of mountains, but 120 miles to the east is Baishawan.

More than 40 years ago, the prince of Zhen Guogong and Princess Yiguang led a large number of people to board the ship here, bypassing the heavily guarded Huchou Pass, and went straight to the capital of Nanfeng.

"Where did the 7000 people go?" Ruan Qianren asked quickly.

The drenched messenger hesitated: "Return to the general, the subordinates are short of manpower. In addition, the Yingshan camp set out in two batches one after the other yesterday, and the manpower is even more stretched. It is really difficult to send back enough information in time. Therefore... "

So whereabouts are unknown.

boom!
Ruan Qianren punched the tiger case in front of him expressionlessly.

Since the Xingluo army was transferred to Yingshan camp, Nanfeng has sent three times to supplement the manpower around Yingshan.However, Xingluoren is very good at countering scouts.The spies who supplemented the past died before sending back the news, and the ones who lost contact lost contact.

Therefore, Hushouguan has not been able to grasp most of the news in Yingshan Daying.Even now that the Starfall Corps is suddenly dispatched, they don't have enough manpower to send the news back.

"Send scouts over there again, we must find out the whereabouts of these 7000 people. In addition, we will send additional people to monitor the eastern sea. At the same time, eight hundred miles will rush the news back to the capital. I suggest that the king and Yun Chui have a verbal war to protest the other side's border guards. Respect the peace agreement between the two countries."

"Yes!" A few more soldiers left in a hurry.

"General, does Wei Junqian of Xingluo really dare to disobey their emperor's order and send someone to attack us?" Someone said.

Whoa!

Ruan Qianren was about to speak, when suddenly he felt the brilliance before his eyes.

In an instant, the pitch-black night inside and outside Hushouguan was clearly illuminated.

Everyone in the Chinese army jumped in their hearts, and all of them turned sideways at the same time.

Ruan Qianren took the lead and hurried out of the camp without saying a word.

Everyone looked up to the sky.

In the northern sky, three brilliant fireworks are blooming, illuminating the entire night sky.

After a long while, bang bang bang, three explosions came faintly.

Cloud Piercing Arrow!
And it was a large-scale cloud-piercing arrow launched by the people of Nanfeng.There are hidden marks on it that they can only recognize.

Ruan Qianren withdrew his gaze and snorted coldly: "How far is it from Hushou Pass?"

Someone nearby had already calculated the distance, "Go back to the general, about thirty miles."

Everyone's hearts sank, and three words instantly popped up in their minds.

Zhennan Pass!
Just now they doubted whether the Starfall Legion would dare to disobey their orders.The cloud-piercing arrow that was rising now was obviously the scouts in the north who had no time to report back and directly warned.

Ruan Qianyan pulled out his sword: "Wing the drum! Wake up all the soldiers."

"Prepare for battle!"

Whoa whoa whoa!
The rain finally started to fall at night, quickly dousing the fireworks in the night sky to the north.

Boom boom boom!
The soul-stirring drumbeat was knocked on.

In an instant, Hushou was turned off and the lights were brightly lit.

------

Zhennanguan, the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Yuan Xingwen, you are so bold!" The disheveled Eunuch Shao rushed in in shock.

"Your Majesty has repeatedly issued five orders, strictly ordering Zhennan Pass to use force against the southern countries, so as not to destroy the friendship between the two sides. Otherwise, severe punishment will not be neglected!"

Yuan Xingwen, who was sitting upright, looked watery.

He stood up with a whoosh, raised his sword eyebrows and bowed his hands respectfully towards the north.

"Why did Mr. Shao make such a statement? I will always keep His Majesty's order in mind and never use force."

He chuckled.

"Could it be that my father-in-law forgot this general's name? It's 'prospering literature' rather than engaging in martial arts. This general always only likes writing and writing."

"This is the best!" Eunuch Shao looked at Yuan Xingwen's smirk, and was so angry that the whisk was shaking, "Then dare to ask General Yuan, why is the war drum beating at Zhennanguan in the middle of the night?"

"Eunuch, you are blaming the general by mistake." A general stood up next to him and explained to him cheerfully.

"My father-in-law has just arrived here, so I may not know the traditions of our Zhennan Pass. In order to remind the border guards to always remember their duty to guard the soil. The drums at the gate will be played from time to time to train the soldiers' response ability."

"That's not the meaning of sending troops. It's similar to the meaning of ringing the safety bell every evening in the Yanfeng Fortress in the west. It's no big deal."

He pointed to the generals around, "Please look again, Father-in-law, all the generals in Zhennan Pass are here."

Without the general going out to lead the army, it is naturally impossible for the soldiers to go out.

Eunuch Shao didn’t know how many generals there were in Zhennan Pass, so he couldn’t help but be suspicious when he heard it, “Really or not? What about the fireworks just now? My son said they were cloud-piercing arrows!”

son?

All the generals looked strange.

cough!
"What cloud piercing arrow, my little eunuch may have stayed in the imperial capital for a long time, and he must have watched too many dramas."

Another general stood up.

"Shao Gonggong, you may have forgotten what day it is today."

"On February [-], the dragon raises its head. Guangxin County has a tradition of setting off fireworks to celebrate. It's just that the air in the south is humid and there is too much rain, so the fireworks are not easy to preserve. Everyone only puts three meanings."

"I see!" Eunuch Shao nodded suddenly.

He suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at the general who answered vigilantly: "It's true that the dragon raised his head on the second day of February, but isn't it February [-]rd now?"

The general took his time.

"Elder-in-law, there is a saying that the sound is different for ten miles, and the customs are different for a hundred miles. For example, during the Chinese New Year, most people in Yunchui celebrate the first day of the new year. But there are also places where the thirty or second day of the new year is celebrated. The same is true for the rise of the dragon. We After February [-]rd..."

Eunuch Shao nodded, and looked back silently.

As far as he knows, Canglan County is also called Canglan Island, one of the two major medicine warehouses in Yunchui, and the New Year is celebrated on the second day of the new year.

------

In the dense forest in the middle of the mountain to the west of Husorrow Valley.

Ren Ning and his team pulled on their raincoats and hoods, easily blocking the pouring rain.

flutter!
"What trick!" Hearing the sound of the drum coming from Hushou Pass, Lei Er spit out a branch that fell from an unknown tree.

"Compared to the earth-shattering bells of Yanzhen Fortress, the drums of Hushouguan are too weak. The drummer seems to have not eaten dinner."

He winked and touched Ren Ning with his shoulder, "Old...General Ren, don't you think so?"

Ren Ning glanced at Lei Er.

Unlike Tieguai Li's guerrilla general, his guerrilla general was self-proclaimed by the Starfall Legion and only played the role of a wartime leader.The Ministry of Military Affairs did not approve or record it internally.

Under normal circumstances, when this battle is over, the title will be revoked soon.

Of course, if he really made great contributions during the battle, the Ministry of War will admit it.Anyway, these miscellaneous generals are just titles.

"Don't gnaw on the things in the mountains, be careful of poisoning." Ren Ning warned, looking up at the dark night sky.

Just now everyone saw the cloud piercing arrow in the sky.

"General Ren, there is no sign of us on the arrow piercing the clouds, it should be sent by people from Nanfeng." The commander of the first battalion looked at Ren Ning in astonishment, "Could it be that the people from Zhennan Pass followed us?"

Ren Ning shook his head, "I don't know. But it's a good thing."

It was raining heavily, and at this time the attention of the entire Hushou Pass was on the Zhennan Pass in the north, which was very conducive to their actions.

But there are troubles.

It was raining heavily, and the air was so humid that water could be squeezed out. It was not easy to destroy so much food and grass at once.
