Thunder Dragon walked in with a cheerful face, his face full of sincere admiration.
"I've met Mr. Ning, and I've met Brother Lei."
In the morning, not only did the more than 300 guards of the Duke's Mansion return in full force, but almost every one of them brought back a large piece of dried meat.
The Brontosaurus was almost stunned at that time.
These dried meats may not look big, but they are made by drying whole sheep or half cows. They can be said to be concentrated and of high quality. As long as they are boiled with water, a small piece can fill a big man's stomach.
Suddenly, the food crisis that had trapped the Brontosaurus for a long time was eliminated.
"Sir," he said with a heavy salute to Ren Ning, "Lei is willing to bow down. From now on, all 2,200 of his brothers will be handed over to you, ready to be punished by you."
"Lei Qian's words are serious." Ren Ning smiled and helped him up. "You and I both want to repel the Xiliang people and protect our hometown together. There is no need for this."
Thunder Dragon nodded and said no more, but held his hand heavily again.
After Lei Er was fed and clothed, Ren Ning asked: "What is the situation of the Blood Moon people in the trapped dragon's nest now?"
hey-hey!
Lei Er said proudly: "They were frightened by the dirty meat we left behind. Now they have abandoned the more than two hundred soldiers who went to put out the fire, and the others have collectively withdrawn from the trapped dragon's nest."
"What kind of meat?" Thunder Dragon was stunned.
Lei Er and Huang Ming told each other the situation at that time, and then he understood what happened.
brush.
Thunder Dragon quickly unfolded the map.
Most of the Luoxia Mountains are inaccessible, and there are only a few east-west lines drawn on the map, representing passable post roads or ancient roads.
Everything else is blank.
The place where the dragon is trapped is a small circle.
"Sir," Lei Long looked at Ren Ning, his eyes sparkling: "More than a hundred miles west of Quelong's Nest are narrow valleys. No matter where the Xiliang people camp, the terrain is extremely favorable to me."
Ren Ning nodded.
He didn't speak, but picked up a charcoal pen and started drawing on an empty piece of paper.
Thunder Dragon was a little confused, but didn't dare to disturb him.
After a long while, the pattern on the paper took shape. Huang Ming and Lei Long's eyes lit up and they finally figured it out.
"This is a topographic map of a mountain nest. Could it be that what you are drawing is a sleepy dragon's nest?"
"It's the trapped dragon's nest." Lei Er smiled and took the charcoal, and completed the mountains and forests to the south.
Soon, the mountain and forest landforms around Quelong's Nest were revealed in front of a few people. Even the ditches, cliffs, water and rocks there were all very detailed.
"I admire you."
Huang Ming knew the identities of Ren Ning and Ren Ning, but it was not a big deal. When Thunder Dragon saw it, his jaw dropped.
Ren Ning smiled.
"The leader of the Blood Moon Tribe is very responsive and is not a fool. Our dirty plan will not interfere with it for long. It is estimated that they will react soon and then return to the trapped dragon's lair."
Therefore, the location of the final decisive battle should still be the trapped dragon's nest.
Thunder Dragon stared at the topographic map of the trapped dragon's nest that he had just drawn, nodded and sighed: "Xueyue Yingxiang is indeed a person, and his soldiers are also extremely brave in battle."
"If it weren't for the fact that the post road below is too long and narrow, it would be difficult to use the power of a large force. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to stop him."
After that, he added some information about the trapped dragon's nest.
Ren Ning nodded.
It was night after all last night, and no matter how good the telescope was, it was still easy to miss some places. Now that Brontosaurus mentioned it, he just made up for it.
Looking at the detailed map, Thunder Dragon was eager to try.
"Sir, now there are more than 200 Blood Moon clan members isolated in the Sleeping Dragon Nest, and there are probably only a few dozen sunny eyes around. Otherwise..."
How about we go and eat these people?
Ren Ning did not object and nodded: "Go and prepare!"
Since the Xiliang people invaded, Lei Long and his men, being Dingxi people, not only did not stay in their hometown to fight against the enemy, but instead retreated again and again into the unfamiliar mountains and old forests.
The morale of the soldiers under his command has long been low. Especially recently, the army has been short of food and clothing, and privately they have complained even more.
Therefore, it is time to fight a small battle first to boost morale.
"Very good!"
Thunder Dragon punched his palm excitedly, saluted and quickly went out to mobilize his troops and punish the general.
Ren Ning looked at Lei Er, "You have been busy all day and night, and you are tired. Let's have a good rest tonight."
There were only about 200 Xiliang soldiers, and each of them suspected that he had contracted the epidemic and was in panic all day long. There was no need for Lei Er to take action again.
That night.
Thunder Dragon picked 600 people and hurried to the trapped dragon's nest.
Ren Ning, Huang Ming and several guards from the Zhenguo Palace were also among them.
"Sir," Thunder Dragon said with a stern expression, "Actually, you don't have to come."
More than six hundred versus more than two hundred.
Moreover, the morale of one side was so high that they wanted to fight the Xiliang people who invaded their hometown. The other side was full of hesitation and did not even dare to approach within three feet of their companions.
The result has already been determined.
"What are you thinking about?" Huang Ming smiled and punched Thunder Dragon: "We are not watching you fight, but we are going to where the Blood Moon people camp to see what's going on."
Huang Ming's old face turned red before he reacted.
When they arrived at the trapped dragon's nest, Ren Ning could still see sparse red dots on the surrounding mountains through the telescope.
Those are all the sights or secret whistles left by the Xiliang people.
He took out the map he had redrawn during the day, marked the red dots one by one, and then put it in the hands of the stunned Brontosaurus: "Go and try to win a beautiful battle."
After saying that, Ren Ning took Huang Ming and the guards from Zhenguo Palace and headed west directly.
"Qian Chang, are there really secret sentries from Xiliang people in these places?" The guard next to him was a little doubtful.
Thunder Dragon remained silent. He had just recovered from looking at the telescope in Ren Ning's hand.
After comparing the map, the Brontosaurus quickly stretched its neck and looked towards the nearest marked point.
It's just that he almost opened his eyes, but he didn't see anything.
Since it was out of sight, the Thunder Dragon stopped struggling.
He clicked on the nearest marked point on the map and made a cutting motion.
The five guards spread out and quietly walked over.
After a while, someone came back with bright eyes.
He lowered his voice: "Qian Chang, there is indeed a Xiliang man there. It seems that he has no idea about our arrival. Now he has been killed by the brothers."
Thunder Dragon perked up and murmured as he glanced to the west: "It's really amazing."
He no longer hesitated, and sent people to kill the Xiliang Yanqings on the road one by one, and quickly reached the isolation point.
There are dots of tents at the bottom of the mountain, each one far apart. There is a strong smell of mugwort in the air.
Thunder Dragon listened carefully and could even hear the faint crying of the Xiliang people.
He twitched his lips, not surprised at all.
There are few people in this era who are not afraid of epidemics.
When an epidemic rages, an entire village or tribe is burned en masse, and no one will object.
Such morale of the enemy...
Thunder Dragon didn't make any arrangements and simply waved his hand: "Come on!"
"kill!"
All the Yunzhui soldiers were already feeling itchy and they immediately jumped up, clenched their weapons and rushed towards the foot of the mountain with a roar.
After leaving the trapped dragon's nest, Ren Ning no longer paid attention to the movement behind him, and the group of people quickly headed west along the post road.
Xueyue Yingxiang is young but cautious by nature.
Knowing that the surrounding environment was unfavorable to him, he placed double hidden sentries every half mile starting from the trapped dragon's nest.
Ren Ning walked around, letting the guards of the Zhenguo Palace sneak past from time to time. When they appeared again, everyone had a hint of murderous intent.
