Yuanning Mountains.

Whoa!

There was a burst of excited cheers coming from the originally peaceful hills.

"Look! The general is back!"

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

After a while, countless people stood up here and there in the hills and dense forests around Dachun Valley.

"The general is back!"

They happily waved to Ren Ning and the others who were leading the horses up the mountain.

"Long time no see, brothers! How are you all?" Ren Ning asked with a smile.

"Hello everyone!" All directions responded enthusiastically.

For the vast number of Starfall soldiers, the cold winter in Baekje was unexpectedly cold.

Fortunately, they listened to Ren Ning's words last year and hoarded a large amount of winter supplies, effectively guaranteeing everyone's needs.

There was no accident.

As soon as they arrived at the Dachun Valley Camp, Liang Rushi waited for Qianchang to come back from all over the place, looking at him cheerfully.

"What are you doing standing up?" Ren Ning was annoyed, "You would be tired if you weren't tired. Sit down and talk!"

"Yes!" More than a dozen elders found their seats and sat down.

"There are quite a few people in Dachun Valley now." Ren Ning smiled.

Haha.

"It's quite a lot." Everyone nodded.

A battalion is 1000 people.

There are eleven thousand chiefs in total, plus Ren Ning's one thousand personal guards, there are twelve thousand people.

So many people can do a lot of things, and they can even face the large-scale attacks of Japanese pirates head-on.

There was a chat among each other, the elders asked some questions that should be asked, and Ren Ning and Lei Er also answered some questions that could be answered.

After a long time, he put away the smile on his face.

"The weather is getting warmer, and the general of Baekje has been replaced by Wu Siyuan, who is the main combat faction. The Yuanning Mountain under our feet will soon move. Are you all ready?"

"Ready!" Everyone responded loudly.

Ren Ning nodded in satisfaction, and started to arrange some things.

The commanders left quickly and returned to their combat posts.

And Ren Ning, Lei Er and Xiao Gang climbed to the top of the mountain in the south of Dachun Valley again.

Looking at the familiar sea ahead and the half-small Xilong Island with the salty sea breeze blowing, the three of them looked at each other.

Both have feelings for each other.

Especially Ray II.

He gnawed on the broad beans while shaking his head.

"That kid Li Hebai kept talking about fighting the Japanese pirates a few times along the way, what happened?"

Lei Er silently pointed to the empty sea ahead.

"The fleet obviously set off earlier than us. But what about people? They arrived later than us. One or two crawled slower than a tortoise."

Ren Ning smiled slightly.

"It's not that they sail slowly, but I let them come eastward slowly on purpose."

"Why?" Lei Er was dumbfounded.

There are many soldiers and sailors on board, and the daily food and drink are not a small amount.

Under normal circumstances, it is reasonable to finish things early and go back early, there is no such procrastination.

Ren Ning did not explain, but held up the binoculars and looked around to the south to search.

Not long after, he saw a huge fleet floating about twenty miles south of Xilong Island, heading west with a murderous aura.

Depend on!
Lei Er let out a strange cry.

The two also saw the Japanese pirate fleet at this time, and they couldn't help feeling a little worried for Li Hebai and the others.

"General, with so many enemy ships, I don't know if Li Hebai and the others can handle it?"

"Yes!" Xiao Gang nodded, "At a rough look, the Japanese pirates have at least two hundred ships."

Lei Er corrected, "I think there are more than 250 ships, at least [-] ships."

"There are quite a few enemies." Ren Ning put down the binoculars calmly, "But don't worry, they can definitely handle it."

post road.

Eastern camp.

Wu Siyuan took the main seat again.

He patted the familiar but unfamiliar handle, and looked at the densely packed Baekje generals in front of him expressionlessly.

"Everyone, who is this general and what is his temperament? I don't think I need to introduce too much."

Except for a few, everyone shook their heads.

"no, I'm fine."

"General Wu led us to defeat the Japanese pirates last year. He has always been the pride of our Baekje soldiers. No introduction is needed."

……

"very good."

Wu Siyuan stood up amidst all the commotion, and he quickly drew out his sword.

"Ben will not want to hear or see any back-and-forth words and actions from now on. Understand?"

"understand!"

"Know it."

The following responded sparsely.

Wu Siyuan continued to speak as if he had never heard of it.

"Of course, if anyone is afraid of death or unwilling to fight, you can bring it up immediately. I will send someone to send you back to the capital immediately. From then on, you will take your Yangguan way and I will cross my single-plank bridge. We will owe you nothing."

Having said that, he paused.

"As for the remaining brothers, we will live and die together until the Japanese pirates are beaten back into the sea. But during this period, whoever wants to sway the morale of the army with evil words like before, don't blame the general for being merciless."

"Okay, everyone, please make your own choices."

There was a dead silence below, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

wow.

Jiang Xuesong was the first to stand up.

"The last general is willing to listen to the general's command, and vows to repel the Japanese pirates to the death, and return my Baekje rivers and mountains to peace."

Others are not surprised.

Jiang Xuesong originally obeyed Wu Siyuan's order.

Before, he was working under the second prince who was passing by, watching the Japanese army advancing step by step, but the second prince remained indifferent, Jiang Xuesong was already aggrieved.

Now that Wu Siyuan finally took office again, he was ready to go all out.

The others finally came back to their senses. Except for a few who hesitated slightly, the others responded one after another.

"Very good." Wu Siyuan was very satisfied.

"Jiang Xuesong, Gao Yongning, Gong Hongwen..." He named several capable generals in succession.

"The weather is getting warmer. Everyone has been cats for so long in the winter, and it's time to come out and see the blood, so that General Ben can see if the knives in your hands are still sharp."

"Go ahead and kill all the remnants of the Japanese pirates who entered the Yuanning Mountains. Give all brothers a good start for the future of Baekje."

"Yes!" Jiang Xuesong and the others lifted their spirits and responded loudly without hesitation.

It didn't take long for nearly [-] troops to leave the garrison continuously, rushing along the post road to the east bank.

The news quickly spread to Dachun Valley.

"How many Japanese pirates are there on the post road in the Yuanning Mountains?" Ren Ning asked.

"Wait a minute, general." Liang Rushi quickly marked on the map, "One place, two places..."

He chuckled.

"I'm afraid the general doesn't know. Last year, the second prince of Baekje was in charge of the post road. He stayed in the camp all the time, and he hardly made any defensive arrangements. And Naoto Jiudao kept sending people into the mountain, trying to Across the Yuanning Mountains."

"The two sides will occasionally fight a few times, but because the snow is too heavy, the battles are not big."

After finishing speaking, Liang Rushi had already marked four or five dots controlled by Japanese pirates and the corresponding number of people on the map.

Ren Ning carefully looked at the terrain around the red dot, and frowned slightly after a while.

"The Japanese pirates chose a good location, suitable for ambushes. Order the nearby eyes to let them carefully touch the surroundings of these strongholds to see if there is anything wrong."

If it is still winter and the Japanese pirates lack clothing and food, it is understandable that there are not many people in the stronghold.

Now the heavy snow has almost completely melted, but there are still so few people in each stronghold, which inevitably makes people feel weird.
