It was not until the next morning that the guard general Ruan Qianren was killed in battle that Nanfeng's soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered in large numbers.
The war ended, and the three lieutenants finally discovered the whereabouts of the Starfall Legion.
Take a look at the Valley of Tiger Sorrow.
Ren Ning and the others had had enough rest and were happily cooking in the valley, completely ignoring the burning granary behind them.
That night, flames surged into the sky inside and outside Huchou Pass, but the fire in Huchou Valley did not attract anyone's attention.
At this moment, the three of them were shocked, "General Ren, why didn't you put out the fire?"
This is a heavy amount of food, and it is also a lot of military merit.
Mo Canghai from Canglan County was the most distressed: "It would be a pity to burn so much food in vain."
Canglan County, where he is located, is also called Canglan Island. It faces Baihua and Xiyu County across the sea from Xiyu Bay, which is less than fifty miles wide.
Four years ago, there were strong winds and heavy rains on the sea surface around Canglan County, which lasted for more than half a month without stopping.
Most of the buildings on the island were blown over, causing numerous casualties. However, the waves were too big and the boat was small, so rescue could not be sent.
The feeling of being hungry was particularly fresh in Mo Canghai's memory.
Ren Ning laughed and pointed at the other half of the grain depot that was safe and sound.
"Three adults, didn't we save half of the granary with all our efforts?"
"It's just that the fire was too fierce, we were short of manpower, and we traveled a long distance yesterday to defeat the powerful enemy. The soldiers were already physically and mentally exhausted, so there were still some granaries that couldn't be rescued."
"I'm just waiting for you to put out the fire."
The three people's mouths were trembling and they had no choice but to let their subordinates put out the fire.
In fact, there is no need to save anything.
The granary started to burn yesterday afternoon, and now there is not much left.
Moreover, when Ren Ning and his party retreated to Huchou Valley to rest, they blocked the previously damaged drainage outlet. The water resources in the south are extremely abundant, and a lot of water has been stored in the ditch after one night, so there is no need to worry about finding something to put out the fire.
In less than half an hour, the fire in Huchou Valley had been put out.
After counting the surviving provisions, the three county guards couldn't help but feel happy.
Huchou Pass has been hoarding enough food for 200,000 people for a month. Although a batch was burned a few days ago and another batch was taken away by 90,000 people when they returned to Nandu City to aid, there are still quite a few at this time.
.
Shipping it back is definitely a huge fortune and credit.
"Come on, come on!" Ren Ning invited the three of them, "Are the three adults hungry? Come over and have something to eat together?"
There are a lot of good things stored in the granary of Huchou Valley.
There is rice and meat, from seafood to sweet potatoes, coarse and fine grains.
Ren Ning unceremoniously asked his subordinates to take out big fish and meat and cook a sumptuous meal.
The only regret is that the leader of the group stayed in the distant Viper Valley, and the food prepared by his soldiers did not taste very good.
Either too salty or too bland.
But no one cared.
The three county guards had been busy all day and night. At this time, smelling the aroma of the food, their stomachs began to growl.
Looking at each other and smiling, the three of them sat down next to them without any ceremony, filled themselves with rice and started eating.
While eating and chatting, they had to quickly write a splendid and eye-catching success report and send it to Emperor Changxing's Dragon Case as soon as possible.
Several people looked relaxed.
If you go abroad to fight without authorization, both Emperor Changxing and the Ministry of War will be furious.
However, they had already blocked the news tightly, and the distant imperial capital probably didn't know anything about it at this time.
Now that they had captured Huchou Pass as they wished, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In recent years, there have been continuous natural and man-made disasters within the empire, surrounded by powerful external enemies, and everyone is sharpening their swords.
At this time, they defeated Huchou Pass in one fell swoop, killing more than 80,000 prisoners, and completely destroyed the biggest threat to the south of the empire.
This achievement was enough to make Emperor Changxing, who had been struggling recently, breathe a sigh of relief, and even feel comfortable for a long time.
Not long after, Yuan Xingwen from Zhennanguan also entered Huchou Valley with several murderous guards and generals.
"Everyone is here! No one is hurt." Yuan Xingwen said a few casual greetings.
He and the three county lieutenants were more or less acquaintances, so he looked carefully at the only stranger.
Looking at Ren Ning's relatively young face, Yuan Xingwen was filled with emotions.
"General Ren has already shouldered the important task of sneak attack on Huchou Pass at a young age, and he has done it perfectly. It is true that a hero comes from a young age. Mr. Yuan is willing to be defeated."
"The general is guarding Zhennanguan, and the boy has admired his name for a long time." Ren Ning smiled calmly, stood up and toasted Yuan Xingwen with a bowl of soup instead of wine.
If Zhennanguan had not been beating drums and forming formations in the north a few days ago, they would not have been able to burn the first batch of food and grass easily.
Ren Ning remembered the words of gratitude in his heart and did not say much.
At this time, they are discussing how to write a victory report, and they cannot be modest at this time.
Because if you say it and write it down, it is military merit.
Ren Ning didn't talk much, and only occasionally added a sentence or two when he needed to eat and drink. He didn't worry at all that the four bosses would write less because of his age or silence.
Behind him is Xingluo, the most powerful legion in Yunchui, and the one that all Yunchui soldiers look up to.
No one dares to take away their achievements in front of everyone.
Although Wei Junqian has the word "qian" in his name, not everyone can bear his anger.
The five people discussed it for more than an hour before the content of the good news was officially determined.
Ren Ning read it carefully and nodded with satisfaction.
The good news was then rushed to the imperial capital by eight hundred miles.
Ren Ning stood up: "Generals, three adults. The situation ahead is urgent, Ren Ning takes the first step."
After some chatting, he couldn't sit still as soon as he learned that at least 120,000 Nanfeng people were chasing the main force of Xingluo near the capital.
At this time, his men had rested for the night, and it was time to head to Nanfeng Capital.
Yuan Xingwen and others knew how powerful they were and didn't hold back. They patted Ren Ning on the shoulder and said, "Okay! General Ren, you go first. I'll be there soon and we'll kill Nan Feng together."
They attacked the city and fought in the streets, fighting fiercely for a day and a night. There were many prisoners in their hands, and there were many casualties among the soldiers. At this time, they had to repair and deal with it first.
Ren Ning nodded, folded his hands and ignored them.
Chirp~
He blew the whistle.
Hua Hua Hua.
The Xingluo soldiers, who had eaten and drank enough, hurried over to gather.
A report.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The complete combat strength of 3,000 people when they came out is now only 2,713 people standing in front of them.
But not all of the nearly three hundred people died.
One hundred and sixty-four of them were seriously wounded and could only lie still. The lightly wounded were all bandaged and stood in front of them.
Yuan Xingwen and the Yunchui generals stood not far away, looking at the world-shattering Xingluo Legion with interest.
Only ten days after coming out, the casualties were close to one-tenth, which can be regarded as heavy casualties.
However, everyone held their chests high and no one had a trace of fear on their face.
Ren Ning retracted his thoughts, looked at the weapons of his subordinates and the refilled quivers and food bags, and nodded with satisfaction.
In addition to recycling arrows, they also found several weapons warehouses in such a large Huchou Pass, and filled up what they needed.
The only regret is that the people from Nanfeng are generally shorter in stature than the people from Yunchui. They are even shorter and smaller than the one-in-a-thousand-thousand-strong Starfall Legion soldiers.
Relatively speaking, Nanfeng's standard arrows are a little short and light, and they feel erratic when shot.
Fortunately, although the impact is there, it is not significant.
Ren Ning subconsciously touched his black arrows, and there were only five left in the quiver.
The army was in chaos, and all his black arrows hit the enemy generals, but none of them could be retrieved at this time.
"Raiji!"
"Here!" Lei Er took a step forward.
Ren Ning pointed to the west: "Take a few people and return to the Fierce Snake Valley immediately and bring all the horses over."
Although they had trained in infantry combat, this was to adapt to the conditions of Nanfeng Mountains and hills. Xingluo's forward troops were actually light cavalry.
When they are on mounts, they are at their most powerful.
After passing Huchou Pass and going south for less than 150 miles, we almost reach the Annan Plain.
It was close to the capital of Nanfeng, and that was where the war horses came in handy.
Ren Ning twitched the corners 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.
As the saying goes, it used to be difficult to change the situation.
Travel through the vast Xiliang prairie, to the vast Xingluo Basin in Yunchui, the vast Hanoi Plain in Hanoi County, and the Yingling Plain in Yingling County for training war horses.
The Annan Plain in Nanfeng is as small as a booger and not worth mentioning.
