Just as she was about to enter the camp, Nie Yan hastily walked up to her.

"Young Marshal, where did you go?" Didn't you say that there would be important preparations for tonight? Why did he suddenly run away and disappear? "The soldiers all ate and slept. When are you going to give the order to march?"

Before he could finish his words, he smelt the smell of alcohol from Feng Ning Yan's body. He couldn't help but close his mouth in worry.

The young marshal didn't allow others to drink, yet she herself was so drunk. How could she make the right decision?

Just as he was about to step forward to support her, Feng Ning Yan waved her hand. "I was just going to the stream to roast a turtledove. "Return to the military camp!"

When she returned to the tent, she saw that there was still a jug of wine on the table. She poured another glass of wine and gulped it down.

By the time she put down her wine cup, her eyes were already as bright as the stars, and she didn't feel the slightest bit intoxicated.

"What's the situation with the Southern Wilderness?" she asked, sitting down on the table.

Seeing the fighting spirit in Feng Ningyan's eyes, Liao finally felt relieved and hurriedly reported:

"As the young commander expected, the vice commander-in-chief of the Southern Wilderness, Li Yuanxiong, has already led his troops to ambush on the hillside on both sides of the valley. He's brought a lot of firearms and rattan balls with him."

Feng Ning Yan sneered.

"Good, Duan Liushao fell for his trap. He's going to show us fireworks and we're going to get a big gift. Five hundred carts of food, I think that would be of great interest to them. "

"Food?" Li Yao was a little confused. "Young Marshal, we only have three hundred carts of grain and fodder in total. This is all the supplies we have in the Southern Yong Pass. Are you going to give it to Duan Liushao?" Are you really not drunk? "

Feng Ning Yan laughed out loud: "Vice General Li, send down the order to unload the food on the food cart and guard this place strictly and at death's door. After that, he would choose five hundred Death Soldiers from the Crimson Flame Battalion and hide in a straw covered food cart. Let the hundred soldiers of the forward camp lead the way, and the food cart following close behind, and we will march as usual. "

It was only after hearing Feng Ning Yan's words that Li Yao finally understood why Feng Ning Yan was using fake grain as bait.

The Crimson Flame Battalion was chosen and trained with much effort by Feng Ning Yan. They were the elites of the Southern Ning Army. They were definitely capable of shouldering this heavy responsibility and luring their enemies into their midst.

Li Yao excitedly clasped his hands and said, "This general obeys."

With that, he hurriedly left the tent and prepared to go.

As the night passed, the mountain fog became thicker and thicker. The vanguard battalion had no choice but to lift up their torches and ride on their horses.

In front of the fodder cart, the driver of the cart was also holding a wind lamp, which allowed him to illuminate the road in front of him.

On the chariots, underneath the thick straw, there were a few Red Flame Camp Death Soldiers wearing night clothes.

They were well-trained. They hid inside, not moving at all. Even if they were close enough, they wouldn't notice that it was a human instead of food.

Li Yao was walking at the front of the food cart. Seeing that the vanguard troops had already entered the valley, he took a deep breath and turned around, waving the torch in his hand as he gave the order.

"The mountain roads ahead are dangerous. Everyone be on your guard. The food carts need to speed up and pass through the valley!"

The soldiers who were escorting the food all quickened their pace as they received the order.

They soon entered the valley, surrounded by a deathly silence.

However, everyone knew in their hearts that there were countless Southern Wilderness soldiers lying in ambush on both sides of the mountain slope.

Li Yuanxiong and the Southern Wilderness' army were like ferocious, dormant beasts as they stared down from above. At this moment, they heard Li Yao's urging for the logistics team to increase their speed.

"He knew the valley was hard to get through, yet he insisted on going through it. God truly blessed the southern border!"

Li Yuanxiong sneered as he looked at the densely packed food carts below as if he was looking at his prey. The corner of his mouth hooked into a bloodthirsty smile.

When he first arrived, he was a little worried. Feng Ning Yan knew that this place was dangerous and that she might take a detour around it. But now, his heart was finally at ease.

The famous Young Marshal of the Southern Ning Army actually had an undeserved reputation, what was so great about him? It seemed like there was hope to capture Feng Ningyan alive!

The deputy general at the side asked Li Yuanxiong in a low voice, "Vice Marshal, more than 300 food carts have arrived. Do you want to attack?"

Li Yuanxiong was holding onto the distant mirror. Separated by the morning mist, he didn't see Feng Ningyan and her tall white horse. He couldn't help but hesitate a little.

However, the timing of this ambush was fleeting. He couldn't let this opportunity slip by just for the sake of Feng Ningyan alone.

He was somewhat unwilling, but he immediately gestured to the deputy general, signifying that he would attack.

Li Yao felt the decaying grass on both sides of the mountain tremble slightly. He knew that the enemy forces were ready to attack.

He started to run on his horse, loudly urging the soldiers guarding the food cart. "Hurry, hurry!" It was as if he hadn't noticed the ambush at all, making the enemy underestimate him.

Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwenwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu@@

Battle cries resounded throughout the valley, sounding like the roars of war generals in the sky.

If they had been caught off guard and heard the thunderous roar, the people below the mountain would have long been thrown into a panic.

However, because they were all death soldiers from the Crimson Flame Battalion, and because they already knew that the enemy army only numbered four to five thousand, not a single one of them got down from the cart, and remained motionless on the ground.

At the end of the vanguard camp, only a few dozen soldiers could be seen returning to the valley to receive reinforcements. As for the rest, the soldiers escorting the fodder carriages added up to no more than two hundred soldiers.

The main force behind was still outside the valley, blocked by fodder carts. How could they get in?

Li Yuanxiong laughed loudly: "Young Master Feng, oh Young Master Feng! I've overestimated you by sending five thousand elite soldiers to ambush you! "

He ordered loudly, "Fire attack!"

In an instant, the rocket shot towards the fodder cart. The oil ball was ignited and rolled down the mountain along with the boulder.

Behind the fireball, countless soldiers of the Southern Wilderness waved their swords and sabers and rushed down the hill while shouting.

A fire had already lit up on the food cart. When Li Yuanxiong saw that all the food carts were on fire, he felt that this battle was over.

However, at this moment, a man and a horse suddenly appeared on the opposite mountain.

The white steed lifted its head and whinnied towards the sky. Within the raging flames, the person on the horse's azure and silver armor shone brilliantly, reflecting her extremely heroic face.

It was Feng Ningyan.

Li Yuanxiong sucked in a breath of cold air. He did not know why Feng Ningyan was not in the main group, but instead on the opposite mountain.

There had been a team of Southern Army soldiers hiding in that position just now. It was impossible for her to not go up from the valley. She definitely had long since come up from the other side of the mountain to the top of the hill.

Could it be that she already knew that there was an ambush here?

Feng Ning Yan looked at Li Yuanxiong from afar. She smiled charmingly, and suddenly nocked her bow and shot an arrow. With a "sou" sound, the arrow shot towards Li Yuanxiong like lightning.

Li Yuanxiong was astonished. How could he dodge? Before he could fall back, the arrow shot into his shoulder, piercing through his shoulder armor with a muffled sound.

The deputy general exclaimed, "Deputy Marshal!"

Almost at the same moment that Feng Ning Yan shot the arrow, the Red Flame Battalion Death Soldiers on the grain cart jumped up and stood on the cart like gods of heaven.

The shining spears in their hands were like snakes piercing towards the oncoming enemy. With a flick of their spears, they were thrown into the sky.

Those southern soldiers who had run down the hill would never have thought that the burning fodder chariots were actually alive, not fodder!
