Chapter 131 Who is the Enemy
Ruan Qianren stared at the map on the wall, puzzled.

It took only one day and one night for the Starfall Legion to be dispatched on a large scale, and the capital sent an emergency call for help.

Who are they and how did they get there?
It can't be the main force of Xingluo.

The northern part of Nanfeng is full of undulating, rugged hills and rainforests. Unless the Hushou Pass is opened at this time and they can go south unimpeded along the official road, it is impossible for the Starfall Legion to appear near the capital.

Ruan Qianren's eyes subconsciously fell on the sea to the east.

There are occasional light winds and waves on the sea these days, but generally speaking, the sea is calm and suitable for sailing.Moreover, there was heavy fog in the sky, and even at noon, it was impossible to see things half a zhang away.It is entirely possible that Yun Chui sent people to the vicinity of the capital of Nanfeng Kingdom by boat without anyone noticing.

Just thinking about it, Ruan Qianren shook his head silently.

After experiencing the painful lesson more than 40 years ago, Nanfeng has been sending people to keep a close eye on the coastlines of Baihua County, Xiyu County and Canglan County in the south of Yunchui.

As for the main force of Yunchui's navy is far away in Pinghai County in the central and eastern part, it mainly defends against Japanese pirates at sea.

Although there are a large number of ships in the three southern counties, there are not many ships belonging to the navy. Most of them are fishing boats or merchant ships carrying cargo, and the number of ships in the east and west is not large.

Unless these three counties have long had the intention and preparation to attack Nanfeng, and break up the garrison into pieces, and wait silently for today's surprise attack.

Otherwise, the eyes sent by Nan Feng could not remain indifferent.

Ruan Qianren has been stationed at Hushou Pass for a long time, so he knows the three southern counties well.

Neither they nor the local garrison are dedicated soldiers.Otherwise, in the past two years, Nanfeng couldn't do some damage in Baihua and Canglan County from time to time to take advantage of it.

Since it was unlikely to be the east side, Ruan Qianren's gaze fell to the west side again.

The land of Nambong is eggplant-shaped, elongated from north to south and narrow from east to west.

The Yunchui National People's Congress can take advantage of the small country of Vientiane in the west, go directly south to the vicinity of the capital, and then cross across.

In fact, more than 40 years ago, Yunchui's army did the same.

It's just that whether it's the south, the north or Vientiane, the territory is full of virgin forests or tropical rainforests.At that time, the Yunchui army who was walking on land lost its way when circling among the mountains and valleys.

They almost ate up food and grass and finally found a way out, only to catch up with the end of the war.

Thinking about these past events, and looking at the topographic map of Vientiane Kingdom next door, Ruan Qianren suddenly shook his body.

Maybe it's not the Yunchui people who are besieging the capital of Nanfeng Kingdom at all, but the neighbor Vientiane.

The five countries in the south have never been good neighbors who coexist peacefully, and they will fight one or two battles from time to time.It's just that Nanfeng is the most powerful, and the other four countries can only obey orders while being on guard.

In the past, Nanfeng also wanted to swallow small countries like Vientiane, but it was either not strong enough or Yunchui intervened, so he failed to do so.

Therefore, there is blood feud between the five countries.If there is a chance to bite Nan Feng back, Vientiane and the others will definitely not be polite.

Ruan Qianren's gaze once again fell on Yingshan camp in the north thoughtfully.

Xingluojun switched to Guangxin County in October last year.I have been training for half a year, but I have not moved much.

Maybe Wei Junqian has secretly sent people south to seduce small countries like Vientiane.

Compared with the barren Nanfeng, Yunchui's bargaining chip is much bigger and more attractive...

Seeing Shangfeng's face change, he was speechless for a long time.

cough.

Pei Zhuang coughed, stepped forward and called for a fight.

"General, the king of the capital is in danger, and my subordinates are willing to lead troops to help, and vow to repel the enemy to the death."

Last night, he brought a full 2 people to support Hushou Valley, which was close at hand. As a result, there were not many enemies left, and there were heavy casualties.

This will have to bite the bullet and stand up to fight, hoping to make up for it.

Back to aid?

Ruan Qianren's face trembled.

More than 40 years ago, he was still a half-grown child.

I saw with my own eyes that Huo Zheng, the heir of the Duke of Zhen at that time, and Princess Yiguang and his wife joined hands to fight under the capital of the country, and then turned around and killed the Nanfeng soldiers who had returned to Hushouguan to help them.

In the end, the king of Nanfeng was forced to go north to plead guilty and paid Yunchui a large amount of silver, which made Nanfeng unable to breathe for more than 30 years.

Boom!

He ignored Pei Zhuang's call for battle, but tapped heavily on the map on the wall, and turned to look at the general of the scout battalion.

"Wu Ci, where is the main force of the Starfall Legion now?"

Wu Ci subconsciously glanced at the map.

Isn't the country asking for help?

He quickly reacted, "General, the scouts under him have been looking for it. It's just...the lack of manpower and the heavy fog in the sky, there is no definite news yet."

snort!
Ruan Qianren was very dissatisfied, and after looking at the white mist outside the tent, he fell silent.

Wu Ci secretly wiped off his sweat, and hurriedly said: "General, please rest assured, the subordinates have already sent additional troops to search around, and I believe news will come back soon."

Ruan Qianren ignored him, but frowned and tapped the capital on the map again.

"The king issued an order, and the capital of the country must be rescued. But the lesson of returning to the rescue in a hurry more than 40 years ago must be clear to all generals. Therefore, we must be fully prepared."

"At least we must first figure out who the enemies appearing in the capital are. What is their purpose."

Ruan Qianren expressed his thoughts.

When the generals heard it, there was an uproar.

Some people believed it without thinking. For example, Pei Zhuang, who was eager to make up for his mistakes, immediately clamored to go back and teach the people of Vientiane a lesson.

But more generals are dubious.

"General, Vientiane and I have lived in peace in recent years, and this time we signed an agreement to attack Yunchui together. It is unlikely that they..."

"Agreement?" Ruan Qianren glanced at the man expressionlessly, and reminded: "We also signed a peace agreement with Yun Chui not long ago."

The general was speechless.

Another person stood up frowning.

"General, it was indeed the Starfall Legion that attacked and burned Tiger's Sorrow Valley last night."

His face was embarrassed: "It's not the last general who will destroy his prestige. I think everyone knows what kind of army Xingluo is."

"Since they can touch the heavily guarded Husorrow Valley without anyone noticing, they can escape smoothly after killing and burning. Presumably it will not be difficult for the main force to rush to the capital. Therefore, regarding the return of aid, the general and colleagues You still have to be cautious and don’t act rashly.”

"General Li, everyone is not convinced by what you say." Someone couldn't help but retort, "No matter how powerful the Starfall Legion is, it's made up of people, not gods."

"Last night, it was only a group of vanguard soldiers who touched Husorrow Valley, not many people. Otherwise, with the frightening combat power of Xingluo, there is no need for Zhennan Pass in the north to beating drums and setting up formations to attract most of us. attention.

They can attack directly from the direction of Hushou Valley, and then cooperate with the people of Zhennan Pass, and they will be caught off guard by attacking Hushou Pass. "

The others nodded in agreement.

"The small group of people moved quickly, and with Xingluo's style, it is understandable that they can reach Tiger's Sorrow Valley silently. But the main force of the Starfall Legion, including people and horses, is not a small number. They want to cross many mountains in one day and one night. Near the capital, it is basically impossible."

"unless……"

Everyone looked at each other.

Unless they don't bring food and supplies!

For a while, all the generals cheered up, and quickly checked the capital's request for help again.
