Chapter 143
Ren Ning and others got on the horse, as if they had grown wings.

Not long after, the more than 2000 people crossed the infantry at Zhennan Pass, and walked away along the post road under their envious and jealous eyes.

Before departure, Guan Luping asked Ren Ning to lead the team to the capital of Nanfeng within [-] days, and time was running out.They have to hurry.

In the evening, the team had to stop when they reached the bank of the Xian River.

The bridge on the post road in front of me was destroyed, and the river was only five feet wide, and the river slowly went east.

thump!thump!
Ren Ning threw a few big rocks into the river heavily, and quickly frowned.

This is the lower reaches of the Xian River, and the water is quite deep.

At least the horse will never get over it.

Looking around, I couldn't find a suitable place to cross the river for a while.

He raised his head and looked into the distance.

On both sides of the river, there are large areas of burned farmland, and there are not even a tree in sight. It is impossible to cut down trees and build bridges.

Looking at the sky, Ren Ning had no choice but to find a way to get someone to find an open place to rest for the night.

Not long after, spies rushed to report.

"General, about sixty miles to the east is the Xianhe Wharf. On the left and right sides of the wharf, a Southern Feng army of more than [-] soldiers is burning facilities, sinking ships, and throwing a large number of sandbags into the river. It seems that they are trying to block the river... "

Ren Ning frowned, and before the spy could finish speaking, he was already on his horse.

The territory of Nanfeng is small, and the Xianshan Mountain is not high. The Xianhe River in front of us is just a small river.It is completely incomparable with the Wanli Yangtze River or the surging Yellow River or even any of its tributaries that are well known in previous lives.

Nanfeng sent people to throw sandbags at the sunken ship in the river. It should not be blocked, but it is no problem to make the river shallow.

The siege equipment and tens of thousands of people's food and grass transported from Zhennanguan are all in the East China Sea at this time, and they will arrive at the Xianhe Wharf in the next two days, and then land on the shore.

At that time, if Danqian is in the river, unable to get in or out, it will be troublesome.

He ordered repeatedly.

"Lei Er, take someone to find the way to Nanfeng Capital and report to General Guan that we may be late."

"Xiao Gang, go back and find the soldiers at Zhennan Pass behind you, and explain the situation here so that they can find a way to build a bridge."

"The others got on their horses immediately and killed the Nanfeng people in Saihe near the pier."

"Yes!" Everyone responded one after another.

drive!
Ren Ning took the lead and rode chasing the wind to the east.

The terrain near the river is gentle, and the post roads with dense villages along the way are flat and wide.Not sixty miles away, before the sky completely darkened, the burning pier was already in front of us.

Tatata!
As soon as they heard the thundering sound of horseshoes, some Nanfeng people hurriedly dropped their work, hurriedly climbed up the hills on both sides of the post road, and drew their bows to form a battle.

There were even many people holding torches and shouting loudly, arrogantly.

"You son of a bitch, Yunchui, come and beat me up."

"There are so many cavalry, I'm so scared, I have the guts to come here and challenge them one-on-one."

It's a pity that no one can understand their Nanfeng language.

Ren Ning glanced roughly.There are only about 500 people on the hills on both sides of the post road.

Goldfinger scanned around, the situation was safe, and there was no ambush elsewhere.

He was not surprised at all.

3000 people is a lot, and it is impossible to squeeze all of them together when digging the soil, which requires a lot of space.Others are probably still busy a little further away.

"Cut it!" Ren Ning yelled.

If you want to block the river course, the place where sand and soil are collected should be as close to the river course as possible.

The two small hills in front of me are only located near the river, and they are not a pass that must be attacked.

Ren Ning disdain to waste energy on them.

The news spread quickly, everyone bypassed the bows and arrows of the Nanfeng people and rushed to those Nanfeng people who were still digging and filling the river.

shhhhhh!
The soldiers of Nanfeng released a lonely rain of arrows, staring at the long men and horses passing by like the wind not far away, and no one even glanced at them.

There seems to be something wrong with the script.

They held up their torches to provoke, just to lure the enemy to attack, so that they could kill a group of people with arrows from a high position.It's just that the Yunchui people didn't follow their script at all.

The five hundred soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and involuntarily turned their heads to look at the dark-faced forward.

"That's all." Knowing about his family affairs, Qian Chang couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Resign yourself to fate, go down and dig the soil."

Some time ago, the Starfall Corps suddenly appeared in the Annan Plain, and the Central Army in the western suburbs tried to stop it.However, the two sides collapsed at the first touch, and the Central Army was killed in an instant. In the end, even the base camp in the western suburbs was burned.

This is true for the elite soldiers of the Central Army, not to mention the local garrison. For a while, everyone had to wait for the Hushouguan soldiers who came back to help, hoping that they could fight for Nanfeng.

The people from Hushouguan came back soon, but before they could discuss a countermeasure, the news that Hushouguan had been breached also came back.

In an instant, all the generals were frightened.Most of the people chose to shrink back to the foot of the capital.

Those generals who still had a little courage only knew to lead their subordinates to hang behind the Starfall Legion, spinning around without knowing what to say.Talking about a siege is not like a siege, and talking about setting up an formation is not like setting up an formation, it's like a swarm of headless chickens.

Of the 6000 people on both sides of the Xianhe Wharf, only 1000 are regular soldiers, and the other 5000 are civilians recruited temporarily.

These people might be able to help by digging the soil and blocking the river, and they don't have to think about the consequences at all when facing the menacing cavalry.

Qian Chang personally led 500 people on the north bank to lure the enemy, trying to stop them so that the civilians could throw more bags of mud into the river.

It's a pity that Ren Ning didn't give them a chance.

The rumbling cavalry quickly found the place with the most people.

Ren Ning looked up and couldn't help being stunned.

The fire flickered in front of my eyes, and there were a lot of red dots, but the values ​​were terribly low.

Rather than saying that they are soldiers, it is better to say that they are a group of coolies who have not had enough food.

Before he had time to think about it, Ren Ning led his troops and killed him.

But before they rushed to the front, the people on the river bank screamed in fright, and threw down their hoes, picks, sacks and other tools, and ran around with their heads in their arms.

Some people rushed into the blazing fire in a panic, and were instantly burned into a burning man, and there were also people like Ren Ning who ran head-on in a panic, and were trampled to a pulp by the horse.

More people jumped into the river one after another, struggling to swim to the opposite side.

The river looks calm, but the undercurrent is surging.

These people were already exhausted from digging and stuffing the river. The river was so fast that they were exhausted. They disappeared into the river within a few breaths. Only a few people managed to swim to the opposite side.

Ren Ning quickly realized what happened.

But he still drove along the river bank from west to east, and cleaned up the north bank in an instant.

"Liang Rushi," he called the commander of the Second Battalion, "the first 500 people should be the supervisors on the north bank. You take people to kill them."

"Yes!" Liang Ru also saw it, agreed, and left with his subordinates in a murderous manner.

The river workers on the other side of the river looked pale, looking at Ren Ning and these murderers in horror, hesitating and not daring to approach.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. Just do what you have to do." A duck cocked his whip and shouted loudly, "The river is so wide that people from Yunchui will never be able to cross it. If the river is blocked early, everyone can get money and go home earlier."

call out!
The sound of arrows sounded.

Ah!
Yagong let out a scream, and fell to the ground spurting blood in an instant.

Although the river in front of me is wide, it is less than ten feet.Is it true that Ren Ning and their archery are vegetarians?
The little soldiers who were good at bows lined up by the river, staring at the other side coldly.

Anyone who dares to get close will shoot an arrow.The arrows were shot without fail, and screams sounded.

After a dozen arrows, there was no one on the other side who dared to approach.

Ren Ning smiled and entered the pier.

He didn't put out the fire, but just found a stick to measure the water depth, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Because it came in time, the upstream was not too congested, and the boat at Zhennanguan should not be late.
