"Even if it's the first name of the Minshan Sword Society, what if it's just an ignorant young man who hasn't fought in battle, then Guo Feng is also confused, and he really let the Su Guards obey his command!"

"Even the stupidest generals would not make such a mistake!"

Looking at the backs of Ding Ning, Guo Feng and the others who turned to leave, the faces of several border army generals were extremely gloomy.

Wu Qiwu's face was also difficult to see, and all that shone in the depths of his eyes was a fierce killing intent.

If he was absolutely sure, at the moment of Fang Cai, he would choose to kill Ding Ning directly.

The 3,000 guards who had just entered the city began to leave the city, marched to the side of the hill on the slower slope, and began to camp.

The arrival of reinforcements left the city due to disagreement, which was a heavy blow to the morale of the troops in the city.

And even more so for the Su Guards, who were already exhausted from the march.

If it weren't for the ability that Ding Ning had shown to convince them all, I am afraid that if there was a slight difficulty in carrying some heavy ordnance up the mountain, these sergeants would have mutinied due to various negative emotions.

Guo Feng was an experienced general, and he naturally knew that morale and mood were often more important than some powerful ordnance.

followed Ding Ning to climb a high mountain rock, looking at the smoke in the distance, his face was not much better than Wu Qiwu's.

"Actually, I still haven't figured out why you have to abandon the city. ”

He took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his mood, and at the same time looked at Ding Ning in front of him and asked.

Ding Ning didn't turn his head to look at him, and said softly: "Actually, I don't really want to abandon the city. ”

His answer made Guo Feng and Nangong Caishu, who was following him stunned, for a moment.

"What do you mean?" Nangong Caishu couldn't help but ask.

"The Valley Prison is special. ”

Ding Ning said softly and slowly: "It's not just that Guancheng is not as majestic as the rest of the Guancheng, but the most important thing is that you should have seen it before entering the city, many people in Guancheng are from the Yue clan and border people in this Yinshan area. ”

Guo Feng's brows jumped suddenly, he realized something, but he was not sure.

Ding Ning did not stop, and continued: "The Valley Prison Pass was established at the latest, and many of the laborers used in the establishment of the Valley Prison Pass were recruited from nearby, and many of them were even eventually recruited as sergeants. Therefore, the various people in this closed city are very complicated. ”

Nangong Caishu finally reacted and said, "Are you afraid that any of our actions in Guancheng will be passed on by the spies?"

Ding Ning withdrew his gaze from the distant horizon, turned around, looked at Guo Feng and Nangong Caishu, and nodded, "Although the Wu Clan Kingdom has won a great victory, it stands to reason that it is impossible to know the arrival of all our successor reinforcements, but this broken rear army is coming here without fear, which means that the situation of the defenders in this Guancheng is very clear. The soldiers did not get tired of deceit, saying that they would abandon the city, and disagreed with them on the slopes of the garrison, just to show the other party. ”

After a pause, Ding Ning looked at Nangong Caishu seriously and said: "The less people know about acting, the more people even keep their own people in the dark, the more real it is." ”

Nangong Caishu looked at Ding Ning and felt more and more in awe: "Then what should we do next?"

"We're going to keep the show and let that vanguard attack us first. Ding Ning looked at her and said, "I want you to send a letter to Wu Qiwu and ask him to cooperate with us to play this scene." ”

……

The smoke in the distance had been extinguished, and as time passed, the ground began to tremble.

More than 5,000 cavalry troops of the Wu clan began to officially appear in the sight of all the border troops of the Gu Prison Pass before sunset.

The clothing and armor of all the sergeants in the cavalry army of the Wu Clan are not uniform, and there is no fixed formation for riding at this time, just like a cloud on the grassland that changes at any time.

However, all the weapons of these cavalry were hung on the sides of the saddle, and the pace of all the horses was surprisingly consistent, and as the horses ran, they naturally struck the saddle with a very rhythmic sound.

This uniform sound, constantly ringing, with a deadly magic, made it difficult for everyone to breathe smoothly, but the heartbeat became more and more violent.

Ding Ning sat on a raised boulder, silently looking at the cavalry army arriving in the sunset, frowning slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the tower of the Gu Prison Pass, Wu Qiwu's vest began to sweat uncontrollably.

As the thunderous sound of horses' hooves approached, his eyes gradually filled with the cavalry, and the tremor of the ground made the entire valley prison pass seem to beat, and some of the accumulated dust in the cracks in the city wall fell in the cold wind.

As early as half an hour ago, he had already learned of the young man's plan for this cavalry, and until this time, he was the only one in the entire valley prison who learned of this plan, so all the pressure was naturally on him.

Even if he had respect for the boy in his heart and felt that it was indeed feasible, it was still a big gamble for him.

If the cavalry did not attack the guards on the hillside as expected, then the valley could have been lost.

It was only when the light on the horses of the cavalry came into his eyes, and he glanced at the guards on the hillside on the other side, and knew that he had no choice.

It can be said that the young man used the life and death of three thousand Su guards to force himself to make such a choice.

His face turned extremely ugly again.

But he squeezed a few simple scales out of his throat, and whispered a few words to one of the lieutenants who followed him closely.

The eyes of the lieutenant who heard his words were instantly filled with shock, but then he came back to his senses in his loud shouts.

……

"How can you be sure that this cavalry vanguard will attack us first?"

Nangong Caishu appeared behind Ding Ning, she did not have an attitude of questioning, but an attitude of humbly asking for advice.

The cavalry in her field of vision now still maintained a straight marching route, and had not yet shown any movement towards Guancheng or this side of the hillside, but for some reason, she had a strong premonition, and she had a strong intuition that this cavalry would attack them first as Ding Ning expected.

At this time, she was invisibly like Jingliuli in the previous summer, and began to naturally take Ding Ning as her teacher and learn from Ding Ning.

"The number of troops that advance quickly cannot be too large, fourteen or five thousand is the limit, otherwise it is impossible to guarantee the speed, and even the food and grass cannot keep up. Ding Ning answered her question slowly and clearly, "The military intelligence says that the total number of this cavalry army is more than 10,000, and according to my judgment, it may be more than 14,000 at most." But there are more than 25,000 remnants of the Qin army that we retreated here. ”

"You have to understand that the army of our Great Qin Dynasty has always been the most effective army in the world. ”

After a pause, Ding Ning turned his head to look at her, "Even if it is the remnants, no one will dare to despise the army of our Great Qin Dynasty. Therefore, this cavalry army will definitely use the tactics of reducing losses as much as possible to win this battle and occupy the valley prison pass. Otherwise, if they capture the Valley Prison Pass, they will only have thousands of people left, and I am afraid that even they themselves will not have the confidence to rely on these thousands of people to block more than 20,000 Qin troops, even if it is only for a small time. ”

Nangong Caishu understood, her eyes lit up, "So no matter how wild and adventurous these Wu Clan's troops were before, at least with us, this cavalry army will be very careful." ”

Ding Ning looked at her and nodded.

Nangong Caishu took a deep breath and said, "Because of some of your deliberate arrangements, many of the ordnance here in our Su Guard Army is not ready, and there is some chaos, so this cavalry army will definitely give priority to attacking us here." As far as they are concerned, two days is enough, they only need to deal with the Qin army here at the lowest cost, and they are not in a hurry. ”

A look of approval appeared in Ding Ning's eyes, and he said at the same time: "The most important thing is that under such a general trend, as long as we let them suffer heavy losses, let their initial plan fall through... They panic. ”

Nangong Caishu looked at his extremely calm and confident eyes, and his heartbeat began to speed up again, "So you thought from the beginning that we could win this battle, even if the other party might have three times our strength. ”

Ding Ning glanced at her and said, "Whether we can win the battle in the end, now it depends on whether Wu Qiwu can completely obey the content of my letter and smash all the cultivators and sword masters who are the best at fighting in Guancheng out for me." ”

Nangong Caishu raised her head, looking at the cavalry army in the distance that seemed more and more terrifying and approaching, and looked at the smoke and dust that had been raised to cover the last afterglow of the sunset, she knew that this was indeed a difficult decision for the guard.

After all, since the existence of Great Qin, cultivators and some guards who cooperate with cultivators are the most important forces in the Great Qin army.

Even if the total number of cultivators in this city pass, including the guards around them, was no more than a hundred, if all these people were pulled out of the city, then there would be no difference between this city pass and an empty city.

But she also had a hunch at this point, and the general, who was much more experienced than her, would make the right choice.
