At the junction of Nanling County and Jingxian, there was a small Anshan mountain.
The first army of the Ningguo Manor was the vanguard, with a total of 50,000 soldiers, and was heading towards the Little Anshan Mountain at full speed.
Little Anshan was the only way to Nanling County.
As long as the advance party successfully passed through Little Anshan and gathered 200,000 troops to counterattack, it would not be difficult to take back Nanling County in one fell swoop.
Li Da Jun rode his black horse at the front of the army. From afar, a group of scouts rode in to report.
"Milord, there are still three li before we reach Little Anshan.”
"We've already checked carefully, but we didn't find anything unusual.”
"Full speed ahead."
Li Da Jun looked into the distance and raised his head to look at the mountain not far away. A trace of suspicion flashed across his face.
This Little Anshan was easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as they passed through Little Anshan, they could easily enter Jingxian. Thus, this place had always been a battleground for military strategists.
Yang Jing and his men were godlike soldiers, so why didn't they set up an ambush here?
It was better to be careful!
After pondering for a moment, he raised his hand and summoned the commander of the First Guard.
"General Sun, take five thousand men and cross the mountain first. If there is nothing unusual, report back immediately.”
Sun Du looked at the high mountain in the distance and hesitated.
The terrain of Mount Xiaoan was special. The two mountains stood opposite each other, and there was only a small path between them that allowed three people to pass side by side.
If there were no ambushes on the mountains, it would be fine. However, once there were ambushes on the two mountains, the army passing between the two mountains would definitely be in danger.
If he went rashly, it was very likely that he would be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth and seeking his own death.
"What's wrong? Do you want to disobey orders?"
While Sun Du was hesitating, Li Dajun's cold voice sounded.
He looked at Li Dajun's gloomy face and subconsciously shook his head.
"This subordinate does not dare!"
After saying that, Sun Du quickly turned around and called for his personal guards to enter the mountain.
Soon, a group of five thousand soldiers hurried to the entrance of the two mountains.
Sun Du reined in his horse at the entrance. He looked up at the mountains on both sides of the road, then turned to look at Li Dajun, who was watching him closely, and sighed helplessly.
Since his sharp blade had already been unsheathed, there was no room for negotiation.
If he turned his horse around now, Li Dajun would probably kill him in public for disobeying military orders.
Now, even if he was unwilling, he could only enter the mountain obediently.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand.
"Full speed ahead."
Sun Du led the five thousand men carefully through the entrance.
The environment between the two mountains was extremely quiet. Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow, and the loud sound of the wind was mixed with the chirping of a few birds.
Only the footsteps of the five thousand soldiers could be heard clearly between the two silent mountains.
The five thousand soldiers advanced unharmed until they reached the middle of the valley.
One of Sun Du's bodyguards couldn't help but laugh."Milord, in this godforsaken place, let alone an ambush, I'm afraid there won't even be a beast.”
Sun Du nodded when he heard that. He heaved a sigh of relief, but he was also a little proud in his heart.
"They say that Yang Jing is a god-like soldier, but I don't think so."
"If he doesn't set up an ambush in such an important place, then what's the point of fighting?”
After saying that, he waved at a scout.
"Quickly go and report to Lord Li that there is nothing unusual about Mount Xiaoan. The entire army can quickly pass through.”
"Yes, sir!"
The scout nodded heavily. He reined in his horse and was about to leave when a commotion suddenly came from the top of the two mountains.
The scout looked up in the direction of the sound and saw a pile of rolling stones on the top of two tall mountains.
Before he could react, the pile of rolling stones crashed down from the two mountains.
"Boom! Bang bang bang!"
A loud noise came from where the rolling stone fell.
The scout who was hit fell to the ground and died on the spot.
At this moment, the five thousand people were in a mess. They hurriedly dodged in all directions and retreated, wanting to escape the valley as quickly as possible.
However, the Jing Army, who had been lying in ambush on the mountaintop for a long time, did not give them this chance.
They kept throwing the huge rolling stones that they had prepared earlier down the mountain. One after another, the huge rolling stones smashed down like hailstones.
Some Ming soldiers who could not dodge in time were hit by the rolling stones and died on the spot.
The frightened horses raised their front hooves and roared at the sky. The soldiers sitting on them fell off their horses one after another.
The people in the valley were thrown off their feet and wailed. In an instant, countless people were killed or injured.
Seeing this, Sun Du quickly reined in his horse and shouted," Retreat!”
"Ambush!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Jing Family's army, which had been hiding on the mountains on both sides of the road, revealed themselves. They held bows and arrows and aimed their arrows at the Ming army at the bottom of the mountain.
Huge rocks were still rolling down from the top of the mountain. At the same time, tens of thousands of arrows were shot from all over the mountainside.
A rain of arrows rained down from the top of the mountain without any warning.
"Ah!"
A wave of wails rang out. Most of the Ming soldiers in the valley were hit by arrows. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the 5,000 Ming soldiers were killed.
Sun Du turned pale with fright. He brandished his saber and cut off the cold arrows that were shot from all directions.
While dodging, he rode his black horse and fled out of the mountain.
There was only one thought in his mind.
He had to escape!
He had to report the situation in the mountain!
Huo Qubing, who was standing at the top of the mountain, was watching the battle in the valley through his gold-framed binoculars.
With a glance, Huo Qubing saw the back of the man and his horse galloping out of the valley. A smile appeared on his face.
He handed the gold-framed binoculars to the bodyguard beside him and raised his hand to retrieve a bow and arrow.
Huo Qubing drew his bow without hesitation and aimed the arrow at the fleeing figure in the valley.
"Whoosh!"
An ear-piercing sound of wind breaking rang out. In an instant, Sun Du's black horse was shot.
The black horse raised its front hooves and neighed in pain before falling to the ground.
Sun Du fell from his black horse heavily and somersaulted twice in the valley before he managed to stabilize himself.
He raised his head in panic and looked in the direction of the arrow.
He saw a figure on the mountain peak pointing an arrow at him.
Sun Du panicked, but he couldn't care less now. He hurriedly got up from the ground and continued to run out of the valley.
Huo Qubing stared at his back, raised his bow, and fired two arrows at the same time.
Two cold arrows pierced through the air and shot straight at Sun Du's feet.
The two arrows nailed to his feet scared Sun Du so much that his legs went weak. He looked up at the top of the mountain with panic in his eyes.
At this moment, several arrows were shot at him from the top of the mountain. He could not help but widen his eyes in fear.
