Chapter 139 Good News and Departure

The battle was fierce and lasted all night.

It wasn't until the next morning that Ruan Qianren, the general guarding the pass, was killed in battle, that the Nanfeng soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered on a large scale.

The battle ended, and the three county lieutenants finally discovered the whereabouts of the Starfall Legion.

Take a look into Tiger's Sorrow Valley.

Ren Ning and the others had had enough rest, and were enjoying cooking in the valley, completely ignoring the burning granary behind them.

That night, the flames inside and outside the Hushou Pass were raging, and the flames of Hushou Valley did not attract attention.

Seeing it at this moment, the three of them were shocked, "General Ren, why didn't you put out the fire?"

This is a heavy grain, but also a lot of military achievements.

Mo Canghai from Canglan County was the most distressed: "It's a pity that so much food is burned for nothing."

The Canglan County where he is located is also called Canglan Island, across the Xiyu Bay less than fifty miles wide, across the sea from Baihua and Xiyu County.

Four years ago, the sea around Canglan County was violently stormed by strong winds and heavy rain, which lasted for more than half a month without stopping.

Most of the buildings on the island were blown up, causing numerous casualties.However, the waves are big and the boat is small, so rescue cannot be delivered.

Mo Canghai remembered the feeling of being hungry.

Ren Ning haha ​​pointed to the other half of the grain depot which was safe and sound.

"Three adults, didn't we save half of the granary with all our efforts?"

"It's just that the fire is too fierce. We are short of manpower and we traveled a long distance yesterday to defeat the strong enemy. The soldiers are already physically and mentally exhausted, so there are still some granaries that cannot be rescued in time."

"Just waiting for you to come to put out the fire."

The corners of the three people's mouths were trembling, so they had to ask their subordinates to put out the fire.

In fact, there is no need to save it.

The granary started to be ignited yesterday afternoon, and by now there is very little left.

Moreover, when Ren Ning and his party retreated to Tiger's Sorrow Valley to rest, they blocked the previously damaged drain by the way.The south is extremely rich in water resources, and a lot of water has been stored in the canals overnight, so there is no need to worry about finding something to put out the fire.

In less than half an hour, the fire in Husorrow Valley had been extinguished.

Counting the surviving food and grass, the three county guards couldn't help but beam with joy.

Hushouguan has stockpiled enough food for 20 people for a month.Although a batch was burned a few days ago, and another batch was taken away when 9 people returned to aid Nanducheng, there are still many at this time.

It is definitely a fortune and credit to transport it back.

"Come, come!" Ren Ning invited the three of them, "The three adults are hungry, right? Come and have something to eat together?"

There are a lot of good things in the granary of Husorrow Valley.

There are rice and meat, from seafood to sweet potatoes, and a complete range of coarse grains and fine grains.

Ren Ning unceremoniously asked his subordinates to take out big fish and meat to make a sumptuous meal.

The only regret is that the guy in charge of the spoon stayed in the far away Viper Valley, and the food made by his soldiers didn't taste very good.

Either too salty or too bland.

But no one cared.

The three sheriffs had been busy for a day and a night. At this time, they smelled the smell of food and their stomachs croaked.

Looking at each other and smiling, the three of them sat down next to each other unceremoniously, and started to eat after filling up the rice.

While eating and chatting, they had to quickly write a gorgeous and eye-catching news and send it to Emperor Changxing's dragon case as soon as possible.

Several people looked relaxed.

Going abroad to fight without authorization, both Emperor Changxing and the Ministry of War must be furious.

However, they had blocked the news to death, and the distant imperial capital probably didn't know anything about it at this time.

Now that Hushouguan has been taken down as they wished, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In recent years, the empire has experienced continuous natural and man-made disasters, surrounded by powerful external enemies, and everyone is sharpening their swords.

At this time, they smashed through the Huchou Pass in one fell swoop, killed more than [-] prisoners, and completely smashed the biggest threat to the south of the empire.

This record is enough to make Changxing Emperor, who has been struggling recently, heave a sigh of relief, and even feel relieved for a long time.

Not long after, Yuan Xingwen from Zhennan Pass also entered Husorrow Valley with several murderous personal guards and generals.

"Everyone is here! Are you all hurt?" Yuan Xingwen said casually.

He and the three county lieutenants were more or less acquaintances, so he carefully looked at the only stranger.

Looking at Ren Ning's relatively young face, Yuan Xingwen felt a lot of emotions.

"General Ren has taken on the important task of attacking Hushou Pass at a young age, and he has done it perfectly. It really is a hero. Young people. Yuan is willing to bow down."

"The general guards Zhennan Pass, and the boy has long admired his name." Ren Ning smiled calmly, stood up and offered Yuan Xingwen a bowl of soup instead of wine.

If Zhennan Pass hadn't been beating drums and forming formations in the north a few days ago, they wouldn't have been able to easily burn the first batch of food and grass.

Ren Ning kept the words of gratitude in his heart and didn't say much.

At this time, they are discussing how to write a good report, and they cannot be humble at this time.

Because saying it and writing it down is military merit.

Ren Ning didn't talk much, he should eat and drink, and only occasionally inserted a sentence or two, not at all worried that these four big brothers would write less because of his age or silence.

Behind him is Xingluo, Yunchui's most powerful army, and it is also the existence that all Yunchui soldiers look up to.

No one dared to take credit for their work in full view.

Although Wei Junqian has the word Qian in his name, not everyone can bear his anger.

The five people discussed for more than an hour before the content of the good news was officially finalized.

Ren Ning read it carefully and nodded in satisfaction.

Then the good news was rushed to the imperial capital by Babaili.

Ren Ning stood up: "Generals, three adults. The situation ahead is urgent, Ren Ning will take a step first."

After chatting, he just learned that there are at least 12 Nanfeng people chasing the main force of Xingluo near the capital, so he couldn't sit still.

At this time, the subordinates had already rested all night, and it was time to go to Nanfeng Capital.

Yuan Xingwen and the others knew that they were powerful and didn't want to hold them back. They patted Ren Ning on the shoulder, "That's good! General Ren, you go ahead. I'll be there later, and we will kill Nan Feng and turn himself over."

They sieged the city and fought in the streets again, fighting fiercely for a day and a night.There were many prisoners in his hands, and there were also many casualties among soldiers.At this time, it has to be repaired first.

Ren Ning nodded, and ignored them after clasping his hands together.

chirp~
He blew his whistle.

wow wow wow.

The Xingluo soldiers who were full of food and drink rushed over to gather.

Some reports.

When they came out, they had a complete combat power of 710, but now there are only [-] and three people standing in front of them.

But not all of the nearly 300 people died.

160 of them were severely wounded, and now they can only lie still.After the lightly wounded were bandaged, they all stood in front of them.

Yuan Xingwen and his generals Yunchui stood not far away, looking at the mighty Starfall Legion in front of them with interest.

After only ten days of coming out, the casualties were close to one-tenth, which can be regarded as heavy casualties.

However, everyone's chest was raised high, and no one showed a trace of fear on their faces.

Ren Ning withdrew his thoughts, looked at the weapons of his subordinates and the refilled quiver grain bags, and nodded with satisfaction.

In addition to recycling arrows, they also found several armament warehouses in such a large Hushou Pass, and filled up what needed to be replenished.

The only regret is that Nanfeng people are generally shorter than Yunchui people, and they are even shorter and smaller than the one-in-a-million soldiers of the Starfall Legion.

Relatively speaking, Nan Feng's standard arrows are a bit short and light, and they feel erratic when shot.

Fortunately, although there is an impact, it is not large.

Ren Ning subconsciously touched his black arrows, only five were left in the quiver.

The soldiers were in chaos, and all his black arrows hit the enemy generals, but he couldn't get any of them back.

"Ray II!"

"Here!" Lei Er took a step forward.

Ren Ning pointed to the west: "Take a few people and return to the Snake Valley immediately, and bring all the horses here."

Although he had trained in foot combat, it was to adapt to the situation where Nanfeng Mountain was full of forests and hills.The vanguard of Xingluo is actually light cavalry in essence.

They are at their strongest when they are on mounts.

After passing Hushou Pass and going south for less than 150 miles, you will almost reach the Annan Plain.

It was already close to the capital of Nanfeng Kingdom, and that was where the war horses came in handy.

Ren Ning twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.

Nanfeng is a small country.The Annan Plain is said to be a plain, but it is actually just a small piece of relatively flat land.

The so-called once the sea was too difficult for water.

Shuttle across the vast and boundless Xiliang prairie, to the vast Xingluo Basin in Yunchui, the Hanoi Plain in Hanoi County, and the Yingling Great Plain in Yingling County for training horses.

The Annan Plain in Nanfeng is so small that it looks like booger, not worth mentioning.
