Chapter 125
At sunrise, the Zhennan Pass finally died down.

The torrential rain that had been raining for half the night finally stopped, but it turned into a thick white mist again.It's so thick that you can't see anything beyond a foot.

The soldiers at Zhennanguan turned a blind eye to this.After breakfast, I started normal training, without any intention of sending troops.

Eunuch Shao was getting old, so he kept his eyes open for a long time with a group of generals.This meeting scolded his adopted son, and hurried back to catch up on sleep in a daze.

Yuan Xingwen watched him leave before looking expressionlessly at the white expanse outside the window.

"As the saying goes, the fog is no more than three. After three, eighteen days." He asked, "What day is it today?"

"Back to the general, it's already the fourth day."

Yuan Xingwen nodded, and said inexplicably, "Dense fog is a good thing."

He changed the subject, "Since the drumming is a tradition in Nanguan of my town, it should be played at midnight, at noon, and at lunch time. Each time an hour."

The generals looked strange, and after a glance at each other, they dispersed.

Tiger Mountain.

Ren Ning and his party, nestled in the forest, wiped off the mist on their faces.

It was dark and rainy last night and the road was slippery. They nestled in the forest to rest and did not move again.

At this time, the thick fog lingered, and people could not be seen clearly from a distance of one foot.No matter what they want to do, they are somewhat invisible.

The three chiefs did not make a sound, they gathered together and looked at the map.After discussing a few words in a low voice, they waved the flag to let the team follow, and continued to touch Husorrow Valley.

Ren Ning's eyes were cold, and he walked silently.

He has never been to Tiger Valley.

However, Yunchui scouts had already figured out such strategic locations, and even drew a detailed map.Therefore, Ren Ning is no stranger.

Huchou Valley is a small tiankeng.Except for the east side that leads directly to Hushou Pass, the other three sides are cliffs that are difficult to climb, and the height is more than ten feet high.

The warehouses used to store grain and grass in the pit are all made of bricks and tiles.Launching rockets from long distances from the surrounding clifftops is largely useless.In addition, deep ditches were dug around the warehouse and a large amount of water was stored.If there is a fire, you can also fetch water to extinguish the fire nearby.

As for the east side of Husorrow Valley, there are sentry points on the mountains on the left and right sides.At twelve o'clock a day, people from Nanfeng stared at the surroundings.

It can not only alert the enemy to attack, but also prevent the enemy from controlling the commanding heights, so as to shoot and kill the reinforcements coming from Hushouguan.

It can be said that this small Hushou Valley is easy to go down, but it is not easy to come back alive.

"General, shall we go directly to the original plan?" asked the commander of the first battalion.

According to the previous plan, the first battalion attacked the garrison on the left hill while the second battalion attacked the right hill.Then they collectively blocked the reinforcements who rushed over from Hushouguan upon hearing the news.

As for the fifth battalion, they directly descended into the tiankeng, and burned all the food and grass with flammable materials such as petroleum flint.

"No rush." ​​Ren Ning shook his head, looking thoughtfully at the vast white mist in front of him: "This fog will last for more than ten days. We have plenty of time, so there is no need to be reckless."

He had only 1000 people under his command, and more than half of them would die if they came to Husorrow Valley once.

The team slowly moved down the mountain.

Wangchuan ran to death, and the number of mosquitoes around noon gradually increased.

The top of the Tiankeng cliff has finally arrived.

"The first 20 people from the Fifth Battalion cleaned up the surrounding eyes. The [-] people from each of the [-]st and [-]nd Battalions found out the situation of the left and right sentinels and the changing time of the guard. The others hid themselves. No one was allowed to use mosquito repellent powder."

The smell of mosquito repellent powder is very pungent, as long as you get close to it, you will definitely smell it, no matter how well you hide, there is no point.

No one objected, and each of them performed their duties.Do the work that should be done, and bury yourself directly in the dead leaves and soil if you should covertly.

Ren Ning picked up the binoculars and looked towards the bottom of the valley.

Unfortunately, the surrounding fog was so thick that he couldn't see anything.There wasn't even a red dot under Goldfinger.

is hesitating.

Suddenly, boom!

Hushou Pass was full of voices.

In an instant, the thump, thump, thump, drum beat up again like a sky-shattering sound.

Ren Ning's heart moved, and he looked up to the north.

At this moment in Zhennan Pass, flags were flying and drums were beating loudly.

Yuan Xingwen sat expressionlessly in the large tent of the Chinese army, polishing his shiny sword over and over again, turning a deaf ear to the noise outside.

Eunuch Shao fell asleep not long ago, but now he rolled out of bed in fright.

He lifted the mosquito net and cursed violently: "Xiao Luzi, what happened outside? Why are you beating the drums again?"

Xiao Luzi ran in scrambling, and reminded with aggrieved face: "Father, didn't General Yuan say that last night? It is the tradition of Zhennanguan to beat the drum at irregular times."

He scratched his arm swollen from mosquito bites, and complained softly: "This damn place is full of mosquitoes. I really can't live."

Only then did Eunuch Shao come to his senses, and slapped a mosquito to death: "Did Yuan Xingwen send troops?"

Xiao Luzi shook his head, and said decisively: "Absolutely not. It's just beating the drum, and everything else is normal. The gate to the south has always been tightly closed and has never been opened."

"That's good!" Eunuch Shao rubbed his forehead, which was swollen and sore from lack of sleep, and heaved a sigh of relief: "It seems that General Yuan still knows the general idea."

He sat there for a while like a sick chicken, and suddenly slammed the bed.

The drums at Zhennanguan were beating wildly from time to time, which greatly affected the normal work and rest.Although Eunuch Shao is unique, he still wants to live a few more years.

"Xiao Luzi, now that the imperial decree has been delivered, everything in Zhennan Pass is as usual. Just pack your luggage. In the afternoon, father and son, we will go north to see the situation in Yingshan Camp. If everything is fine, we will return to the imperial capital and report to you."

"Father, really?" Xiao Luzi's eyes lit up.

"Son, I'm going to pack my luggage." After getting the confirmation, he happily ran out.

Although he has only been here for two days, he, Xiao Luzi, has had enough of the dense mosquitoes and the suffocating and humid climate here in the south.

In the afternoon, Eunuch Shao resigned from Yuan Xingwen and left Zhennan Pass for Yingshan Camp.

The driver hadn't walked a few miles when he bumped into a menacing team with neat military appearance.

Eunuch Shao quickly avoided, looked up and stayed there.

At the front of the team was a big scarlet flag, and the logo on it was so familiar.

Block the falling stars with one sword and one sword!

"It's Xingluo..." Mr. Shao wanted to ask.

boom!
He had been knocked unconscious from behind.The whole team was also directly controlled by others, and they were escorted back to Yingshan camp without any resistance.

Wei Junqian came out to look at the old eunuch, and waved his hands expressionlessly, "Lock them up! They can't be released without the general's order."

When it was time for dinner, the Zhennan Pass sounded the war drum again.It made Huchouguan in the south panic from the general to the soldiers, and cursed again and again.

"Report! The Xingluo Legion of Yingshan Daying Camp is fully out, and they are already heading south."

"What?" Ruan Qianren was full of anger.

He lifted his spirits and quickly asked, "Where's Zhennan Pass?"

The Xingluo Army in the Yingshan Camp only had 3 troops stationed there.Without the help of Zhennanguan, he, Ruan Qianren, has 20 horsemen in his hands, but he is not afraid at all.

Before the spies could reply, there was another sound of horseshoes outside.

"Report!"

"Canglan County and Baihua County blocked the eastern sea. All our ships heading north were intercepted, three of them sank, and the envoys sent by the king have been beheaded."
