It's night.

The lights were brightly lit in Feixiong's army, and a red silk flag flying in the wind was erected early at the entrance of the valley.

The horse snooped no longer sneaked, but swaggered back and forth at the entrance of the valley, splashing countless dust.

"After tomorrow's rise to the valley, I will be the head riding cavalry. You must escort the city lord away from here, if..."

Xiao Ran stood on the hill not far away, looked at the dusty valley entrance outside, and said in a deep voice to the eight deputy generals beside him.

"Commander, this is absolutely not possible!"

The deputy generals were shocked. In their opinion, Xiao Ran should do the task of protecting the city lord.

Whether it is cultivation or experience in facing the enemy, Xiao Ran is the best choice.

Xiao Ran waved his hand. These deputy generals were like him, from the Xiao family in Longcheng, so Xiao Ran knew very well what they thought.

"Sima Rulong cannot be like the rumors outside. If he is really a simple-minded reckless man, even if the Sima family has a great influence in the Southern Mang, he will never be able to be the commander of the Feixiong Army."

Xiao Ran looked at the horsemen whizzing around the valley outside, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Once the city lord changes into the armor of an ordinary dragon scale iron cavalry, then his commander will definitely become the main target of Feixiong's army's "care".

In this way, the city lord he escorted became a living target in Fei Xiongjun's eyes.

Moreover, Xiao Ran also knew that in Feixiong's army, there was a sect disciple with a cultivation level in the Renxuan realm.

He is no match for that disciple at all.

In fact, when these three thousand dragon scale iron cavalry were forced into the valley by Feixiong's army, Xiao Ran, who had been through many battles, knew that it was over.

"Tomorrow I will be the head cavalry and you will protect the city lord and mingle among the rear army. Don't miss any chance."

Xiao Ran held the dragon scale long sword on his waist tightly in his right hand. This might be his last time to fight against the battlefield.

"Then commander, where should we escort the city lord after we break through the encirclement?"

One of the deputy generals had a cold face. Before the war started, he said some depressing words about death first, and no one would feel good.

"Walking north, outside the northern foothills, there is a striking horse camp in the dynasty, where you may be able to meet you. After passing the first line of the northern foothills, the Nanmang army will not do anything to you."

Xiao Ran thought for a moment, and the closest dynasty army here may be the Tanma camp on the northern foothills.

But what he didn't know was that the Tanma Camp had almost wiped out long before them.

After discussing for a while, the few people turned around and went down the hill.

Unlike the hustle and bustle outside the valley, although there are three thousand dragon scale iron cavalry in the valley, it is so quiet that it makes people frightened.

All the Dragon Scale Martial Artsmen understood that when the big flag was erected at the entrance of the valley, their lives were already destined.

In the central army's tent, Xiao Qingling carefully wiped a slightly slender dragon-scale knife, with his eyes as plain as water.

When she came out of Longcheng, she had no intention of going back alive.

Being trapped in the valley, she was not thinking about how to break through the siege, rather than dying in the valley in a frustration.

That's why she agreed to Sima Rulong's messenger and made those two requests.

In this life, she was born with a brilliant life, but she has experienced many experiences she had never dared to think about before.

From a chess piece at the mercy of others to a vassal king who ruled one side, from a weak woman to a battle on the battlefield.

The most regrettable thing she had was that she could not meet the young man before she died.

I heard that he recommended the new emperor to seek the tripod, and I heard that he killed the sect leader in Tiandu, and shouted that Zi Ling Zhenren...

Every time each of these things fell into her ears, she had no other emotions except her regret.

The gap between them grew bigger and bigger with the earth-shaking news.

"You told me in Longcheng that I can use the knife in my hand to grab it back what I owe in this world."

Xiao Qingling brushed the blade with one hand, and the sharp blade left a thin red line on his slender palm.

"But, what I, Xiao Qingling, owe you, how should I pay it back?"

Xiao Qingling put away the dragon scale knife that Tang Ming handed her casually in the Dragon City Lord's Mansion, and his eyes gradually became firmer.

Xiao Qingling was determined to die, but Sima Rulong was not idle either.

His 1,600 scouts had been scattered in all directions around the East Out Mountains. As long as there was a little movement, he could react in time.

As Xiao Ran said, if Sima Rulong had relied on the glory of the Sima family, he would never have been able to sit in his position today.

"Ten hundred thousand cavalry, six thousand are divided to guard the mountains and forests in the north. I guess if they want to break out, they will definitely go towards the direction of the first line of heaven."

Sima Rulong said to several deputy generals around him while biting a fat lamb leg.

"Commander, are you a little too fond of them? Only 3,000 of them are still trying to break through Feixiong's army, isn't it possible?"

At the bottom right of Sima Rulong, a deputy general with the same burly figure sneered, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Sima Rulong's concerns.

"You know, is this Fei Xiongjun the decision or are you the decision?"

Sima Rulong glared at the deputy general like a muffled thunder.

"Cai Yang, you lead the six thousand left army to the north, remember, don't let anyone see any trace."

Sima Rulong wiped his greasy hands on the tiger-skin skirt around his waist twice, and then threw a token the size of a palm to a young deputy general on the left.

"Abide by the order!"

Cai Yang took the military order with one hand and immediately turned around and left the tent.

What Sima Rulong thought, probably Cai Yang knew about it in the entire Central Army tent.

The three thousand dragon scale cavalry in Longcheng are already the flesh of Fei Xiongjun's mouth, but if they want to break through the barriers, according to their current capabilities, they will be difficult to stop them.

Once the Feixiong Army's defense line is broken, the only place to escape is the first line of the northern foothills.

If Cai Yang guessed correctly, after the war tomorrow begins, the commander will deliberately reduce the defense in the north.

In this way, the Dragon Scale Iron Cavalry could only escape to the north, and when they fled into the dense forest, it was time for his six thousand left troops to shine.

Sima Rulong's rough appearance can easily make people ignore his strategies. In fact, aside from the Sima family's status in Nanmang, this man's ability to make his mark in the Nanmang army has nothing to do with the Sima family.

The six thousand left the tent quietly left and under the cover of night, they quietly entered the dense forest in the north.

...

"Head, there is movement!"

Just after the six thousand left army thought they quietly entered the northern forest, ten miles away, Zhang Chongshan flashed to Tang Ming's side.

"What happened?"

Tang Ming was shocked, looked at Zhang Chongshan who was panting and asked in a deep voice.

"For some reason, all the scouts of Nanmang retreated."

Zhang Chongshan said to Tang Ming with some confusion that even though Sima Rulong is really a fool, there is no need to carefully plan some things on the battlefield.

Scout patrols are the most normal thing, especially at this time, when there are dense forests around and not leaving the scouts is equivalent to putting one's neck under the enemy's butcher's knife.

"Retreat?"

Tang Ming frowned slightly, and he also felt a little strange. Although he had been in the army for less than a month, he still knew something.

"Yes, none of them are left behind. It seems that Fei Xiongjun has had some abnormal movement!"

Zhang Chongshan plucked the dead grass on his head twice. Things will lead to impermanence. He understood this sentence with countless robes.

The Nanmang Feixiong Army withdrew from the scout for no reason must have made some big moves.

"Head, do we want to touch it and take a look?"

Zhang Chongshan approached Tang Ming and looked at Tang Ming with burning eyes.

He had been in the army for six years and had encountered many wars of all sizes, but before Tang Ming appeared, he was still just an old soldier.

After following Tang Ming for only a few days, if all the military achievements scattered on the road were won, he would at least be a centurion now.

"There can't be too many people, just you, me and Lao Li, let's touch and take a look."

Tang Ming thought about it and it was obviously not a wise move to touch it now, but Fei Xiongjun had abnormal movements at this time, so he could not remain indifferent.

"Get ok!"

Zhang Chongshan raised his hand and turned around and called Lao Li to come. The three of them discussed it and then asked the others to retreat again.

"A scout is exploring every five miles. If you encounter an abnormality, you must not be greedy for merit."

Tang Ming explained to the "Mute" a few words, they had only thirty-eight cavalry in total, so Tang Ming could not be careful.

The mute nodded. Although he was not good at speaking, after contacting him these days, Tang Ming found that this guy was still a normal person in that army.

The three of them had two hands hanging around their waists. Tang Ming abandoned the Hundred Refining Waist Sword and wore a scimitar obtained from Nanmang.

The figure disappeared like a fox. The mute glanced at the three people who were leaving, and then took the people back.

In the dense forests north of the mountain, a black torrent gradually penetrated into the woods. Opposite the torrent, three almost inconspicuous black spots rose and fell between the dense woods.

"Head, why do I feel so stressed?"
