Shangguan Xiu was disappointed when he failed to find the Sky-shaking Cannon in the armory.
Until he walked out of the armory, he was still wondering where the Ningnan Army had hidden the Sky-shaking Cannon, or what the Ningnan Army planned to do.
When to use the giant cannon?
As Shangguan Xiu, Cai Heng and others left the armory, the Feng army began to use local materials, arrange gunpowder barrels everywhere in the armory, and then use gunpowder twisters to connect the gunpowder barrels together.
Finally, people took the gunpowder twisters out of the ordnance. library, The armory is an important military site, and there are no residential buildings or civilians nearby.
This allows Feng Jun to save the evacuation work.
After everything was arranged properly, the Feng Army began to evacuate in batches.
After all the Feng Army soldiers withdrew from the armory area, the two spiritual cultivators who remained lit the gunpowder twisters.
When Feng Jun was evacuating along the north city gate, a loud rumble suddenly came from the south city.
Even here in Beicheng, one can clearly feel the violent tremors of the earth.
Looking southward, a huge mushroom cloud rises into the sky and shoots straight into the sky.
Shangguan Xiu and Cai Heng stood in the gate tower of the North City.
The latter held the arrow stack in his hand to steady his swaying body.
He stared at the mushroom cloud rising in the South City with his mouth open.
After holding it in for a long time, he murmured: "This Once, the Ningnan Army suffered heavy losses."
"The living have the responsibility and obligation to make the sacrifices made by the dead brothers meaningful," Shangguan Xiu said quietly, turned around and walked down the city gate tower.
In the Battle of Tianmen, the casualties of the Feng Army were not small.
The regiment commander He Wenzheng and his two thousand cavalry suffered all casualties.
In the street fighting in Tianmen City, the Feng Army suffered more than 3,000 casualties.
The soldiers of the two regiments were now even Not even a single regiment can be assembled.
Right now, the biggest problem facing Feng Jun is how to safely withdraw from Leping County to Mingshui County.
All local armies in Leping County are approaching Feng Jun, especially the 30,000-strong county army, which is even more aggressive.
The county army came from the north, facing the Feng Army's retreat route.
In order to avoid its sharp edge, the Feng Army once again chose to go into battle lightly, abandoning the large baggage in the army.
The original retreat route to the north was also changed to retreat to the northeast. , During the retreat, Dark Flag's spies played a vital role in continuously reporting the movements of local armies in Mingshui County to Shangguan Xiu and Cai Heng.
Through the accurate detection of the secret flag spies, the Feng Army led by Shangguan Xiu and Cai Heng passed through the gap between the Ningnan Army on the third and fourth routes several times.
On this day, the Feng army marched to the Xiantao Mountain area.
Xiantao Mountain is located in the northeast of Leping County and consists of a large group of mountains.
Pass through Xiantao Mountain and go north to Yushan Town.
After passing Yushan Town and continuing north, you will leave Leping County and enter Mingshui County.
The name of Xiantao Mountain is very nice, but there are no Xiantaos in the mountain.
There are only steep peaks and primordial forests as far as the eye can see.
Marching in the mountains involves many dangers.
Of course, Feng Jun could choose not to go to Xiantao Mountain, but in this case, he would inevitably encounter the encircling Ningnan Army.
Shangguan Xiu and Cai Heng briefly discussed and made a decision.
Leading the army across Xiantao Mountain, After passing through the forest on the periphery of the mountains and walking forward, you will officially enter the boundary of Xiantao Mountain.
There are many peaks in Xiantao Mountain, hundreds or even thousands, but most of the peaks are not big, but very high, like stone pillars. , towering into the clouds, There is no road in the mountains, and Feng Jun can only walk through the gaps between the peaks.
It is extremely difficult to walk.
The soles of many Feng Jun's shoes were cut open by sharp rocks, and blood seeped out along the soles.
Fortunately, there were enough weeds in the mountains.
Cai Heng asked the soldiers to collect grass vines and weave straw shoes.
Compared with military boots with cloth soles, the straw shoes were more flexible and more wear-resistant.
Feng Jun walked in Xiantao Mountain for three days.
After three days, the soldiers were exhausted.
What made people excited was that they were finally leaving Xiantao Mountain.

Continuing forward, we will see the Shuangzhi Peak of Xiantao Mountain.
After passing the Shuangzhi Peak, we will leave the boundary of Xiantao Mountain.
Going far away, we can see the two big mountains of Shuangzhi Peak, one on the left and one on the right, standing high, really like two The raised fingers, Seeing the Double Finger Peak, the Feng Army soldiers seemed to see hope.
Cai Heng quickly came to Shangguan Xiu, pointed at the Double Finger Peak, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, those two mountains are the Double Finger Peak.
We are finally going to Out of Xiantao Mountain," Shangguan Xiu looked far away in the direction of the Double Finger Peak, closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "Send more brothers to the front to investigate, and be careful of enemy ambush."
Cai Heng was shocked and asked in surprise: "Your Highness is worried that Ningnan's army will set up an ambush in front of us."
Shangguan Xiu said: "We can control the movements of the Ningnan Army, and the Ningnan Army can naturally control the movements of our army.
When our army enters Xiantao Mountain, it cannot be hidden from the Ningnan Army.
We can set up an ambush at Shuangzhi Peak and wait for the rabbit to work.
If I am the commander-in-chief of the Ningnan Army, I will definitely do this," Cai Heng took a breath, nodded repeatedly, and ordered his spies to go ahead and investigate carefully.
It was not until the sky was getting dark that the Feng Army spies came back one after another, and the news they brought back was all the same.
It was not the Ningnan Army that was found in the Shuangzhi Peak area.
After hearing the spies' report, Cai Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If Ning Nan's army really set up an ambush at Shuangzhi Peak, it would be equivalent to blocking his own way forward.
He smiled brightly and said to Shangguan Xiu: "Your Highness, the ones fighting us are all local troops.
They don't know much about tactics and strategies, so we don't need to worry too much."
Shangguan Xiu rolled his eyes at him and said: "Even when your side has the advantage, your enemy who despises you may be defeated, not to mention that we are still at a disadvantage now," After a pause, he said seriously: "We will continue to investigate and report again.
We must carefully observe the movement of Shuangzhi Peak tonight.
Our troops will cross the mountain early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Your Highness," Cai Heng responded, shrinking his neck.
There was no talk at night.
The next morning, the Feng Army spies reported again.
No enemy troops were found in the Shuangzhi Peak area.
Shangguanxiu no longer hesitated and ordered the entire army to advance at full speed and pass through the Shuangzhi Peak at the fastest speed.
The closer you get to Shuangzhi Peak, the more you can feel its majesty.
There is a ravine sandwiched between two mountains.
There are dozens of large and small peaks on both sides of the ravine.
Among them, only Shuangzhi Peak is the highest.
Among the mountains Among them, the chickens stand out like two door gods standing on both sides of the ravine.
Walking in the ravine, looking to the left and right, Shangguan Xiu frowned secretly.
If the enemy troops set up an ambush on both sides of the ravine, entering this ravine would be equivalent to walking into a dead end.
The enemy troops could be on both sides of the ravine.
The attack left our own soldiers unable to even fight back.
Seeing Shangguan Xiu looking around from time to time, Cai Heng came to his side and comforted him: "Your Highness, don't worry.
The general has sent spies to investigate all night.
There is no ambush of Ningnan Army in this area."
As he spoke, he subconsciously looked around, shook his head slowly, and said: "The Ningnan people failed to take advantage of such a perfect location to set up an ambush.
It is really the commander-in-chief's mistake."
The soldiers of the Feng Army walked out of the ravine smoothly without any danger.
Looking ahead, they saw a large rock field.
Through this rock field, there was a green forest, which was the peripheral forest on the north side of Xiantao Mountain.
As long as you walk through that forest again, you will have completely left the boundary of Xiantao Mountain, and the road back is very close at hand.
Everyone's faces showed a look of joy involuntarily.
When they went deep into Leping County, they all thought that they would never come back alive.
Unexpectedly, not only were they still alive, but they were also fighting alongside the general.

After returning home, this 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, move forward, we are going home."
The nearby soldiers of the Feng Army all responded in unison, speeding up their pace one by one and walking forward at a rapid pace.
However, Shangguan Xiu slowly frowned and stared at the forest ahead, feeling an ominous premonition suddenly arise in his heart.
Just when Feng Jun marched to the open area in the middle of the rock field, he heard a sudden scream from the woods ahead, and then, a red flare exploded in the air.
Before anyone could figure out what was going on, countless Ningnan troops suddenly emerged from the woods.
People held up muskets and fired at the Feng troops in the rock field.
Bang bang bang, there were explosions in the woods, and there were screams from Feng Jun's side.
Feng Jun who was walking in front had no time to react, and they were all knocked to the ground by the projectiles flying towards them.
"No, there are enemy troops in the woods, and there are Ningnan troops in the woods ahead."
The soldiers of the Feng Army also reacted quickly.
Some people lay down on the spot, while others hid behind larger rocks.
Cai Heng squatted in a nearby pit and looked towards the woods opposite.
The edge of the woods was filled with smoke. , and it’s not clear how many enemy troops are hidden inside.
Ningnan's army did not ambush in the Shuangzhi Peak area, which was the most convenient place to set up an ambush.
Instead, they ambush in the jungle outside Shuangzhi Peak.
This was indeed beyond people's expectations.
Fortunately, Feng Jun was well-trained and after a short period After the chaos, people found bunkers and started to fight back.
The two sides started shooting back and forth inside and outside the woods.
The battle did not last long.
The gunshots in the woods gradually became weaker.
Just when Feng Jun thought that the enemy's troops were not many, they might have quietly retreated in the woods.
At that time, artillery pieces were pushed out from the depths of the dense forest by the Ningnan Army.
A general from the Ningnan Army raised his sword high and shouted loudly: "Load and shoot."
Boom boom boom Dozens of artillery pushed out by the Ningnan Army opened fire in unison, and fire snakes spurted out from the muzzle.
The shells shot out of the muzzle pierced the sky, roared from the sky, and smashed into the Feng Army's camp.
Then, The rumbling explosions continued like exploding beans, The Feng Army was in a rock field, and the ground was covered with stones.
When the artillery shell exploded, not only shrapnel flew, but also stones flew everywhere.
The power of the artillery shell more than doubled.
In just an instant, the Feng Army was bombed.
Countless soldiers were killed and injured:
