In the middle of the night, the moon hangs in the middle of the sky, and the sky and the earth are vast.

During the day, the main force of the Oni Rong army and horses, which had besieged Jeju Fortress on all sides because of the great loss they had suffered, had withdrawn ten miles away, leaving only a few scouts scattered around the city to keep an eye at night.

However, in their opinion, after this whole day of offensive and defensive battles, the defenders of the city did not dare to venture out of the city again.

After all, in terms of combat power, the tens of thousands of defenders in the city are fundamentally no match for their own elite cavalry, and they may be able to draw when they have a city to rely on, but once they reach the plain outside the city, it will be a one-sided suppression.

So it was obviously wisest for them to stay in the city and stay to the end. Yelu Changlong arranged these hundreds of scouts, more of which was just a matter of habit.

But the next facts obviously made their conjecture fall into the void, and in the middle of the night, when it was dark and quiet, the south gate of Jeju slowly opened and fell again, and then nearly 500 soldiers led their horses and slipped out of the city quietly.

They were all well equipped, with cloth wrapped around their heads, horses, and even horses' hooves, so that they barely made much movement when they came out. After leaving the city, they did not rush to get on their horses and run, but continued to lead their horses and tiptoe, relying on the shadows outside the city, and kept moving towards the official road on one side.

At the forefront of this team is Sun Ning.

His eyes were bright, and it was in such a dark night, relying only on the faint light of the crescent moon above his head, that he could see everything within a hundred paces, thus guiding the rear team to move forward steadily, and even avoiding a group of ghost scouts passing by on horseback.

It wasn't until he was far away from the location of the Ghost Rong camp that he ordered softly: "Get on the horse, get out of here quickly!" ”

They didn't go out of the city to attack the enemy camp at night, just relying on these hundreds of people to really go to the ghost camp would not kill the enemy but commit suicide.

It's to stay away from this place and go elsewhere to do something more important, a big thing that can ensure that Ludi is not easily obtained by the ghosts.

With Sun Ning out of the city, in addition to the hundred elites selected from the defenders of Nancheng, there were also people from the Pingtian Army and the Liangzhou Army. It can be said that for the sake of this operation, Zhao Qianzhe really put aside all the previous contradictions and handed over to him the most trustworthy and capable people in his hands.

It was precisely because of this, coupled with similar thoughts in his heart, that Sun Ning took over this extremely dangerous and troublesome errand and went out of the city late at night.

With a soft order, he and the hundreds of people all climbed on their horses neatly, rode with reins, and suddenly increased their speed, and rushed straight towards the official road in front.

But as soon as they started running, and before they had taken two steps, a slow-moving cavalry suddenly flashed in the darkness ahead, and they met them head-on.

This is really a coincidence, these scouts who patrol the night of the ghost have no patrol rules, and just a group of people has just passed, and in the blink of an eye, another team actually walked out from the same direction......

Sun Ning was stunned, clamped his legs, and immediately controlled the horse's speed.

The twenty or so riders on the opposite side were also obviously stunned, but they did not show vigilance and hostility in their eyes at the beginning, and even opened their mouths to say hello to Sun Ning, but this Saibei words were not understandable by the latter.

Just because Sun Ning at this time, all they were wearing were the clothes and armor of the ghost cavalry. It was worn by the ghosts who had been destroyed one after another before, and these arrangements failed to completely deceive Yelu Changlong and them during the day, but in this night, the effect was even better......

Is it?

Just when the other party thought that this was a person who wanted to say hello and pass by, his face suddenly changed, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "There is an enemy......

Because it was only at this time that he was surprised to find that the team in front of him was not the same as himself, only one or twenty people, but hundreds of shadows.

Obviously, this can't be the same night scouts as himself, and looking at where they appear and the direction they are coming from, the only explanation is that they are the defenders of the city.

The scout, who discovered the truth, was naturally horrified and immediately opened his mouth to raise his voice in warning.

It's just that he only said two words, and the sword light has already stabbed.

Sun Ning's reaction was not much slower than his, and as soon as his face changed, he quickly drew his knife and stabbed it into the throat of the other party, cutting off all the shouts behind him.

At the same time, he also shouted in a low voice: "Kill!" Rush out! ”

The shouting in his mouth did not affect the movements in his hands, and after killing the enemy on the opposite side with his knife, Sun Ning had already rushed forward again, and the knife in his hand was quickly withdrawn and slashed out, slashing another person in front of him off the horse.

The elite cavalry who followed him did not hesitate, and immediately all rode up to speed, raised all kinds of weapons, and also viciously rushed towards the enemy in front of him who had not yet recovered from the panic.

At the end of the day, a burst of screams and killings quickly sounded on the side of the official road only two miles away from the city, and spread far away.

When Sun Ning killed two more in a row, the remaining ghost scouts also fell under the swords of other soldiers.

However, there was no joy on their faces after killing the enemy, because in this way, they were completely exposed, which was completely contrary to their original intention.

"Let's go!" Sun Ning shouted loudly, and quickly slapped his horse and jumped forward, and the other generals did not dare to slack off, and they were no longer cautious, hiding their plans, they whipped their horses to speed up, followed closely behind, rushed to the official road, and quickly turned around, and galloped straight towards the darkness at the other end.

At the same time, the sound of whining horns was already sounding from several nearby directions, and the ghost scouts scattered in various locations outside the city were also quickly converging and rushing towards this side.

Then, in the originally quiet ghost camp, there were also riots, and the torches were lit one by one, and then a fire dragon was formed, moving rapidly, rushing in the same direction.

The quiet night was quickly shattered, and on the official road to the north of Jeju City, multiple cavalry teams immediately appeared and galloped in the same direction. The teams in the rear lit their torches one after another, piercing the darkness of the night.

It's just that when they did this, they also completely exposed themselves to the eyes of people with hearts, such as Sun Ning.

Listening to the sound of the hooves of the approaching enemy cavalry, Sun Ning slowed down his horse slightly, quickly took his bow and arrows, and then turned around, already raising his bow and aiming at one of the few bright lights.

Whoosh - Arrows go like lightning and are in front of the opponent in the blink of an eye.

With a scream from the cavalryman, an arrow pierced his chest and knocked him off his horse.

Under the leadership of Sun Ning, the other cavalry also followed suit, and turned around and released arrows, and really shot all the Ghost Rong scout cavalry that followed closely behind, and then continued to accelerate forward.

Some people died, but not completely......
