Unable to find the sky-shaking cannon in the armory, Shangguan Xiu was quite disappointed, until he walked out of the armory, he was still wondering where the Ningnan army hid the sky-shaking cannon, or when the Ningnan army planned to use the sky-shaking cannon.

As Shangguan Xiu, Cai Heng and others left the armory, the Feng army began to take local materials, arranged powder barrels everywhere in the armory, and then used gunpowder twists to connect the gunpowder barrels together, and finally people took the gunpowder twists out of the armory.

The armory is a military stronghold, and there are no houses or civilians nearby, which saves the wind army from evacuation.

After everything was arranged, the Wind Army began to evacuate in batches, and when all the soldiers of the Wind Army withdrew from the armory area, the two remaining cultivators lit the gunpowder twists,

When the wind army was withdrawing along the north gate, there was a sudden rumbling bang from the south city,

Even on the side of Beicheng, I could clearly feel the violent tremor of the earth, and when I raised my eyes to the south, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky and soared into the sky.

Shangguan Xiu and Cai Heng stood in the gate tower of Beicheng, the latter holding the arrow battlement, stabilizing his swaying body, looking at the mushroom cloud rising in Nancheng in amazement, holding back for a long time, he muttered: "This time, the Ningnan army has suffered heavy losses,"

"Those who are alive have the responsibility and obligation to make the sacrifices made by their dead brothers meaningful," Shangguan Xiu said quietly, turning around and walking down the city gatehouse,

In the battle of Tianmen, the casualties of the Feng Army were not small, the corps commander He Wenzheng and two thousand cavalry, the casualties were exhausted, the street battle in Tianmen City, the casualties of the Feng Army were as many as more than 3,000 people, the soldiers of the original two corps, now they can't even get together a corps,

At present, the biggest problem facing the Feng Army is how to safely withdraw from Leping County to Mingshui County.

The local armies of Leping County are approaching the wind army, especially the county army of 30,000 people, which is even more menacing.

The county army came from the north, facing the retreat route of the wind army, in order to avoid its edge, the wind army once again chose to travel lightly, abandoning the large baggage in the army, and the original route of retreating to the north was also changed to retreat to the northeast.

In the retreat, the spies of the Dark Banner played a vital role, continuously reporting the movements of the local armies in Mingshui County to Shangguan Xiu and Cai Heng.

Through the accurate investigation of the secret flag spies, Shangguan Xiu and Cai Heng led the Feng army, and several times they passed through the gap between the third and fourth Ningnan armies.

On this day, the wind army marched to the area of Xiantao Mountain, which is located in the northeast of Leping County and consists of a large area of mountains and mountains.

Through Xiantao Mountain, and then go north, it is Yushan Town, after Yushan Town continue to the north, it will also go out of Leping County, into the boundary of Mingshui County,

The name of Xiantao Mountain is very good, but there are no Xiantao in the mountain, there are only dangerous peaks and mountains, and the primeval forest that cannot be seen at a glance.

Marching in the mountains, there are many dangers, of course, the wind army can choose not to go to Xiantao Mountain, but in this way, it will inevitably encounter the Ningnan army that has surrounded it, Shangguan Xiu and Cai Heng briefly discussed, made a decision, and led the army through Xiantao Mountain,

Passing through the forests on the periphery of the mountains, and then walking forward, you will officially enter the boundary of Xiantao Mountain, there are many peaks in Xiantao Mountain, hundreds of thousands, but most of the peaks are not big, but they are very high, like stone pillars, towering into the clouds.

There is no road in the mountains, and the wind army can only pass through the gaps between the peaks, which is extremely difficult to walk, and the soles of many wind troops are cut by sharp mountain stones, and blood seeps out along the soles.

Fortunately, there are enough weeds in the mountains, Cai Heng asked the soldiers to collect grass and vines and weave straw shoes, which are more flexible and wear-resistant than the military boots with cloth soles.

The wind army walked in Xiantao Mountain for three days, and after three days, the soldiers were already exhausted, and what made people excited was that they were finally going to walk out of Xiantao Mountain.

Continue to go forward, it is the double finger peak of Xiantao Mountain, after the double finger peak, it is out of the boundary of Xiantao Mountain, far away, two big mountains of two finger peaks, one left and one right, erected high, really like two fingers standing up,

Seeing the Twin Finger Peak, the soldiers of the Wind Army seemed to see hope, Cai Heng walked quickly to the front of Shangguan Xiu, pointed to the Twin Finger Peak, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, those two big mountains are the Twin Finger Peak, we are finally going to walk out of Xiantao Mountain,"

Shangguan Xiu looked in the direction of the Twin Fingers Peak, closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "Send more brothers to the front to investigate, and be careful of the enemy's ambush,"

Cai Heng's body was shocked, and he asked in surprise: "Your Highness is worried that the Ningnan Army will set up an ambush in front of us,"

Shangguan Xiu said: "We can grasp the movements of the Ningnan Army, and the Ningnan Army can naturally also grasp the movements of our army, our army enters Xiantao Mountain, but we can't hide the Ningnan Army, and set up an ambush at Shuangzhi Peak, we can wait for the rabbit and wait for work, if I am the chief general of the Ningnan Army, I will definitely do this,"

Cai Heng took a breath, nodded again and again, and ordered the spies under his command to take a step forward and investigate carefully.

Until the sky was getting dark, the wind army spies came and returned one after another, and the news they brought back was all the same, and the Ningnan army was not found in the area of Shuangzhi Peak.

Hearing the report of the spies, Cai Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if the Ningnan army really set up an ambush at Shuangzhi Peak, it would be equivalent to blocking his own way forward.

He said to Shangguan Xiuxi with a smile: "Your Highness, the people who are fighting with us are all local troops, and we don't have to worry too much about tactical tactics if we don't think about it,"

Shangguan Xiu glanced at him and said, "Even if you have the advantage of your own side, the enemy who despises you may be defeated, not to mention that our side is still at a disadvantage,"

After a pause, he said with a straight face: "Probe and report again, tonight we must carefully observe the movement of the Twin Finger Peak, tomorrow morning, our army will cross the mountain,"

"Yes, Your Highness," Cai replied, curling his neck,

There was nothing to say in the evening, and in the early morning of the next day, the scouts of the Wind Army reported again, and no enemy troops were found in the area of the Twin Finger Peak, Shangguan Xiu no longer hesitated, and ordered the officers and men of the whole army to advance at full speed, and pass through the Twin Finger Peak at the fastest speed,

The closer to the double finger peak, the more you can feel its majesty, here are two mountains and a ditch, there are dozens of large and small peaks on both sides of the ravine, among which only the two finger peaks are the highest, in the mountains, stand out from the crowd, like two door gods, stand on both sides of the ravine,

Walking in the ravine, looking left and right, Shangguan Xiu frowned secretly, if the enemy army set up an ambush on both sides of the ravine, this point of his own men and horses entering this ravine, it is equivalent to entering a dead place, the enemy can attack condescendingly on both sides of the ravine, and his own soldiers do not even have the strength to fight back.

Seeing Shangguan Xiu looking left and right from time to time, Cai Heng leaned over to him and said with relief: "Your Highness don't worry, the last general has already sent spies to investigate for a night, and there are no ambushes from the Ningnan Army in this area,"

As he spoke, he also subconsciously looked around, shook his head slowly, and said: "Such an excellent place to set up an ambush, but the people of Ningnan failed to take advantage of it, it is really a mistake of the commander of the unified army,"

The soldiers of the wind army, all the way out of the ravine without danger, look forward, is a large piece of rocky field, through this rocky field, is a green and hurried forest, that is the outer forest on the north side of Xiantao Mountain, as long as you walk through that forest, it will be completely out of the boundary of Xiantao Mountain, the road to return is close at hand,

Everyone's faces involuntarily showed a look of joy, when they went deep into Leping County, they thought that they could not come back alive, but they didn't expect that they were not only alive, but also fought side by side with the general, after returning to China, this experience is enough for them to show off for a lifetime,

Cai Heng, like the soldiers under his command, was also full of joy, he suppressed his excitement, waved his hand forward, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, forward, we are going home,"

The nearby soldiers of the Wind Army responded in unison, quickened their pace one by one, and strode forward, but Shangguan Xiu slowly frowned, staring at the forest in front of him, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart,

Just as the wind army marched to the open area in the middle of the rockfield, they heard a sudden screech from the woods in front of them, and then a red signal flare exploded in the air.

Before people could figure out what was going on, countless Ningnan troops came out of the woods at once, and people picked up their fire guns and fired at the wind army in the rockyard.

Bang bang bang, the explosions in the woods were everywhere, and the wind army was screaming in surprise, and the wind army walking in front didn't have time to react, so they were knocked to the ground by the projectiles that flew in front of them.

"It's not good, there are enemy troops in the woods, and there are Ningnan troops in the woods ahead-"

The soldiers of the wind army also reacted quickly, some people lay down on the spot, some people hid behind larger rocks, Cai Heng squatted in a pit nearby, and looked at the woods opposite, the edge of the forest, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and it was not clear how many enemy troops were hidden inside.

The Ningnan army did not ambush in the area of the most convenient ambush in the area of the Twin Finger Peak, but ambushed in the jungle outside the Twin Finger Peak, which was indeed too unexpected for people, but fortunately, the wind army was well-trained, and after a short period of confusion, people found their own cover and began to counterattack,

The two sides launched a back and forth shooting inside and outside the woods, and the battle did not last long, the gunfire in the woods gradually weakened, just when the wind army thought that the enemy's strength was not much, and it may have quietly withdrawn in the forest, a gate of artillery was pushed out of the depths of the dense forest by the Ningnan army,

The generals of the Ningnan Army held their swords high and shouted loudly: "Reload, shoot,"

Boom, boom, boom

Dozens of artillery pieces pushed out by the Ningnan Army fired in unison, and one by one the fire snakes sprayed out from the muzzle, and the cannonballs that shot out of the muzzle pierced the sky, roaring down from the sky, and smashed into the camp of the wind army.

The wind army is in the rocky field, the ground is full of stones, at the same time as the shells explode, not only the shrapnel splashes, but also causes the stones to splash around, the power of the cannonballs more than doubled, just in an instant, the wind army was killed and injured countless soldiers,
