In fact, there is really plenty of time, and I set off halfway through the hour, and then came to the mountains and forests in the middle of the hour.

After that, it took two hours to march, including of course the part of the road that was diverted.

In the end, the battle was very short, and it ended in less than ten minutes, and now it was just past the end of time.

He couldn't see for sure, but the weather was good, and the soldiers only had to look up at the position of the sun to almost estimate the time. Living in this era all year round, you may be able to master this stunt yourself.

If you go back the way you came, you can go out in about an hour and a half, but depending on the fatigue of the soldiers, you will need to rest for about two hours, that is, you can get out of the woods around half of the hour (6 p.m.......

No, no, no, considering that there are no enemies on the way back, the speed can be faster, and half an hour should be fine.

"Since thieves may attack our camp, what are you waiting for, just go back!" When Guan Yu heard this, he immediately said, rest or something, no need!

"The soldiers have just fought, so they must rest first...... Half an hour, rest for half an hour, and then set off. Liu Tao looked at the soldiers and said after confirming everyone's mental condition.

"That's true......" Guan Yu looked at the soldier and nodded in agreement.

"In addition, I put the thief's corpse on the head and set it on fire. If you leave it alone, it's easy to have problems. Liu Tao immediately instructed that if there is a defeated thief who falls here, no matter what, these corpses will also become trouble.

Bacteria or viruses may breed and then infect the animals in the forest, and then affect the surrounding people.

Liu Tao has investigated that many hunters in the surrounding area rely on this mountain forest to hunt, and this mountain forest is also a source of firewood for the surrounding residents.

The point is that I heard that beasts of prey will be more aggressive towards humans after eating people, even corpses.

"Stack it up first, and then it's not too late to come back and deal with the things over there in the camp, right?" Guan Yu reminded.

"Yes, then let's do it first......" Liu Tao suddenly realized that there was really no need to waste too much time.

Since it will be dealt with later, then the head will not be cut at all. Just gather the bodies together a little bit and cover them with a tent or something. However, there are six or seven hundred thieves, and there is no need to pay less attention to this bit of military exploits.

After resting like this for half an hour, under Guan Yu's shouting, the soldiers slowly got up, and then started their return journey. As expected, after confirming that there were no thieves, the march became very fast. The journey of five or six miles has been completed in less than an hour.

The mountains and forests began to fade away, replaced by wide plains, and the outline of the lower Quyang was faintly visible.

"There is a feeling of 'returning to the civilized world'......" Liu Tao looked at Guan Yu.

"I don't understand it, but when I see all this in front of me, I really feel it." Guan Yu thought about it and replied.

"Sir, look!" A soldier pointed to the side of the camp, "There is smoke in the camp!" ”

Liu Tao immediately looked over, and sure enough, there was a wolf smoke, rising in the direction of the barracks. This is the code he agreed with Lu Yan. When the thieves killed, they immediately lit the wolf smoke. There was no wind today, and the wolf smoke rose straight up, and you could see it from a long distance.

"Enemy attack, let's go back immediately!" Liu Tao shouted, and then silently performed an 'acceleration technique'.

So when the soldiers were marching, they suddenly found that they seemed to have become much lighter, and they walked much more easily. The speed of the march was further accelerated, and the physical exertion was also reduced considerably.

The journey, which would have taken more than half an hour to complete, took only two quarters of an hour before and after, and the barracks had already appeared on the horizon. Of course, what is even more conspicuous is the thieves who are attacking fiercely outside the barracks.

"How many people are there?" Liu Tao didn't expect that the thieves in Xia Quyang would really fight.

"Such a blockbuster, more than 3,000 can't run away." Guan Yu observed, three thousand are conservative, and five thousand are estimated. Anyway, the black pressure is overwhelming, and it can only be said that there are no more than 10,000.

Blocked by this thief army, Liu Tao didn't even know the situation of his own army. If you want to use the insight of the wind dragon, the problem is that although this thing lasts for one day, it can only be used once a day!

Now he was faced with two choices, either to cooperate with his own army to flank the front and rear. Obviously, this is the most effective means of attack; Another option is to go around and join your own army, which will save more mana by casting magic.

After weighing it up, he realized that what he needed was not to save mana, but to keep the thief as much as possible!

"It's better that Zhang Bao is in the army, otherwise it will take a few days to attack the city......" Liu Tao immediately waved his hand, and cast two 'stone skins' at the same time, the relationship between the two armies was too far apart, so that one cast could not cover the whole army.

As for the one that was attached to the soldier earlier, it was no longer valid when he came here.

In retrospect, it took about four hours from the time it was cast to the present, and it seems that the effect of war magic can only last for about four hours.

Sometime he cast another 'Vitality Regeneration', but unexpectedly drained him of 41 mana. Through this, it is not difficult to see that the attack of the thieves has been going on for some time, and many soldiers have been injured during this period.

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately consumed 30 mana points, attached a 'Heavenly Armor' to the soldiers over there, and at the same time cast the 'Light Dragon's Faith' for the first time, and the mana instantly dropped to 104 points.

"Crossbowmen get ready to shoot!" When Liu Tao cast magic, he did not forget to give orders to the soldiers around him.

At this moment, the thieves had already discovered that the officers and soldiers who came from behind them, considering that the number was only a thousand, immediately sent a thousand thieves to kill this side.

Liu Tao's troops stopped directly three hundred steps away from the enemy's phalanx, the crossbowmen stepped forward, and the sword and shield soldiers were also ready to step forward to cover.

The thieves' sword and shield soldiers began to move forward, and the soldiers lowered their upper bodies, hid behind their shields, and then quickly rushed forward. The shields they were holding were so large that they almost covered the upper half of their bodies.

"It's useless, shoot!" Liu Tao burst into a shout, and the 'Storm Arrow' had been attached to the soldiers below. In combat magic, this magic is very useful and painful.

The advantage is to increase the piercing ability and range of the arrow, so that the effect of a stone bow shooting a large yellow crossbow can be achieved. The problem is also obvious, the effect is only once, and the second round of shooting loses its effect.

Perhaps increasing the level of wind magic in the future can extend the number of effective times...... In the early stage, there is a chance to improve.

After receiving the military order, the crossbowmen began to shoot at the thief, and at this time, the distance between the two sides was about fifty paces, which translates to about 70 meters.

At this distance, crossbows and arrows flew out, and under the impetus of the wind magic, they almost instantly came to the shield.

In the muffled sound of "poof", the thief's leather shield was pierced, and the arrow was castrated, hitting the thief behind the shield, after penetrating his body, he still went backwards, and then shot a thief behind him before stopping......
