Some soldiers rushed into the Chinese army's tent with fearful expressions.
"General, something bad has happened. The Xingluo Legion that attacked Huchou Valley has entered the pass. Our army cannot resist it! General Pei died in the battle!"
What?
Nanfeng spent a lot of money to build Huchou Pass, and outsiders will not be able to attack it for a while.
The generals in the tent were sizing up the situation, hesitating whether to send a cloud-piercing arrow to ask for help from the capital. At this time, everyone jumped up as if they had been stung by a scorpion.
Ruan Qianren's face became even more serious, and he rushed out of the tent in a few steps. He didn't bother to check the corpse that Pei Zhuang had just brought back, and looked up to the west.
"Who is leading the team in Xingluo? How many people are here? Where are they fighting now?"
"Returning to the general, the other party's command flag is the word 'Ren'." The soldier paused, "As for the number of people, the fog is too heavy in the west. From the sound of footsteps, it is estimated that there are about three to four thousand people. They are now fighting towards the south city head."
Well!
Ruan Qianren swayed and cried out in pain, covering his chest.
He was even younger than Wei Junqian, but at this time his heart was severely twisted, and he directly suffered from angina pectoris, which is unique to the elderly.
This is Ren again.
Didn't Peizhuang, who had been cut down by thousands of swords, swear three days ago that this group of people had gone to the capital? Why did he appear here again in Huchou Valley and catch them off guard?
Complaints are all, but on a foggy day, Ren Ning and his entourage disappeared without a trace, and Ruan Qianren had nothing to say.
What made him heartbroken was that Pei Zhuang brought more than 10,000 troops to intercept.
Three or four thousand versus ten thousand, anyone would think that even if they couldn't defeat him, they could still hold off for a while. However, in less than one meal, Pei Zhuang was defeated and killed.
Hold!
Ruan Qianren was well-behaved, but he couldn't help but curse at this time.
He didn't know for a moment whether he should say that the Xingluo people were too ferocious or that the soldiers led by this bastard Pei Zhuang were just a bunch of rubbish.
Maybe 10,000 kilograms of tofu dregs would be piled directly on the road, and perhaps the enemy could be held back for a longer period of time.
You are wronging the country!
In the past, he talked about the war and talked about it, but once he encountered actual combat, he was easily killed.
Ruan Qianren cursed secretly a few times, looked around, and his eyes turned red with regret.
If Pei Zhuang hadn't been dead now, Ruan Qianren would have had to kill him on the spot because he couldn't care about the tigress in the family and the huge power of the Yue family.
"Inform the defenders at the south city head immediately to be on guard against enemies in the city and make sure they are not allowed to board the city head." Ruan Qianren ordered.
"Yes!" the soldier responded, rolled and crawled out of the middle army, jumped on his horse and ran away.
"General Zong," Ruan Qianren looked at a steady general in his forties next to him: "I still have to trouble you. Bring your personal guards and go to the city immediately to collect the scattered soldiers."
"Even if all my men are dead, I will still stop the Xingluo people in front of the southern city."
There are currently only 80,000 troops in Huchou Pass, but to guard the north and south walls at the same time, the manpower is already somewhat stretched.
But at this time, Peizhuang lost another 10,000 men, which made matters worse.
Fortunately, these ten thousand people were only scattered, and there were not too many casualties. As long as capable generals were sent to gather them, they would still be able to fight.
Zong Tuyuan's subordinate soldiers had already collectively gone to the north city head, and he had just returned to discuss the battle situation. At this time, he didn't waste much time, and gave Ruan Qianren a heavy hand, took his personal guards and stepped out to leave the Chinese army.
The other generals couldn't sit still either.
"General, my subordinates will go to the top of the city to supervise the battle. We will ensure that the top of the city is not attacked by the enemy. Otherwise, we will come to see you with your head raised."
Ruan Qianren waved his hand and asked them to leave.
Facing an impregnable city like Huchou Pass, the defenders have a huge advantage. Most of the attackers have to pay a lot of lives to break through the city wall.
It's just that there is a group of Xingluo people with extraordinary combat power in the city now. As long as they open a gap on the top of the city and let the enemies outside the city continue to climb up. Then it will be useless no matter how well the others defend themselves. Sooner or later they will have to
Send the head on the necklace.
Ruan Qianren silently looked to the south.
It's up to you whether Zong Tu is far away from the Tiger Pass. You must stop the Xingluo people.
Zong Tuyuan also knew that the situation was urgent, so he sent more than a dozen personal guards everywhere to gather people and horses. He led less than a hundred personal guards on their horses and rushed collectively to the left footpath of the south city wall.
There are usually two wide steps built near the city gate for the defenders, horses or equipment to go up and down the city wall.
Zong Tuyuan knew it very well.
The offensive outside the city was fierce, and the defenders on top of the city were already short of manpower, and in nine cases out of ten they were unable to escape.
Only if he leads people to guard the path immediately so that the Starfall Legion cannot climb the city wall can this battle turn around.
Unable to climb the city wall, the Starfall Legion could only kill people, set fire to the city, and create chaos.
It's just setting fire, it's not a big deal. Just treat the rockets outside the city as powerful and set the buildings in the city on fire.
By the time his personal guards gathered up the remaining soldiers, there were only three to four thousand people in Xingluo. Even if they were all brave enough to block ten, they would sooner or later be destroyed by cold arrows from all directions.
So, be quick!
Zong Tuyuan knew how powerful it was, and Ren Ning naturally knew it too.
After entering Huchou Pass, everyone ignored the Nanfeng soldiers who were fleeing in all directions. Their only goal was to rush to the south of the city.
As for the city gate, send a few people to lift the bolt and open the city gate. That's for filming a TV series.
Huchou Pass is the northern gate of Nanfeng, not an ordinary city.
As soon as it is discovered that there is a large-scale enemy attack on the city, the city gate will be blocked immediately with stones, big trees, various mechanisms, etc. There is basically no need to consider opening the city gate from the inside.
drive!
Follow up quickly!
Zong Tuyuan spanked his beloved horse's butt repeatedly and loudly urged the guards behind him.
I prayed secretly in my heart, hoping that Xingluoren would be unfamiliar with this place and would be better off getting lost in the small and large roads of Huchou Pass.
However, when he and his group of nearly a hundred people rushed to the south gate of the city, the front steps were already densely packed with enemies, and they were charging upwards with unstoppable force. They were about to reach the top of the city.
I'm late!
Zong Tuyuan's heart sank.
He had never seen the Xingluo Man before, but one look at the strange raincoat he wore told him that he was not one of his own.
Without thinking too much, Zongtu waved his hand far away, turned his horse's head and rushed towards the other footpath opposite the city gate.
Since it's too late and there's nothing that can be done to stop it, let's fight it out on top of the city!
Ren Ning has great confidence in the combat power of his subordinates.
He only gave Lei Er and others a target, and ignored the battle on the steps and on the top of the city. He climbed to the top of the archery tower in a few steps and looked around with a telescope.
Soon he saw a general with a broadsword coming in a hurry with nearly a hundred personal guards.
Red value 85!
What a big fish!
hey-hey!
Ren Ning smiled cruelly, drew out the black arrow, and shot it out.
Just as Zong Tuyuan was turning around, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he slashed into the void with the sword in his hand without hesitation.
clang!
There was a loud noise, the tiger's mouth went numb for a while, and the big knife in his hand almost flew out of his hand.
call!
The black arrow suddenly flew away, pounced twice, and actually penetrated the mounts of two nearby guards.
咴咴咴!
The two horses screamed in unison, their limbs went limp, and they fell to the ground at the same time.
who?
The guards were shocked, surrounded Zong Tuyuan, and hurriedly raised their shields.
However, when Ren Ning saw that the opponent's red value was too high, he just shot the first arrow and added another arrow without hesitation.
Zong Tuyuan's personal guards reacted quickly enough, but they were still no match for Ren Ning's black arrows.
flutter!
There was a muffled sound.
Before Zong Tuyuan, whose hands were numb, could react, the black arrow had already hit his neck.
"What an amazing archery skill!" He struggled to say a word, and then he fell under the horse and died with his eyes closed.
