The general said curiously: "How do you know that the barbarians did not collect firewood?"

Wu Xing replied: "A thousand households of the barbarians led hundreds of horsemen to attack Chenjia Village and Shanmu Village, and the firewood collected was piled up, but the barbarians had no intention of transporting the firewood away. In fact, each barbarian only needs to make a pack with a few pieces of firewood on the spot, and most of the firewood can be transported. In my opinion, there is no need for firewood, and there is no burning of paraffin, that is, it is not intended to stay for a long time. ”

At this time, three black-clothed masked men came up from outside one of the female walls on the edge of the city wall, and reported to the white-faced bearded old man one by one: "There are about forty barbarians in the western camp....... The number of brute cavalry in the Beida camp is also similar......."

The third man in black glanced at Wu Xing, and then said, "There are less than ten horsemen left in the East Battalion. ”

At present, it seems that the main purpose of the dozens of barbarian cavalry is to disguise themselves as patrol horses, act on the watchtower, and then regularly transmit some flag information to each other to maintain the normal "operation" of the first battalion.

In fact, the most important reason is that the White Horse Military Town has been defending the city, and there is no chance to go out of the city to fight back, and outside the city is a shielding net formed by the barbarian scouts, so naturally it is impossible to find the empty city plan of the barbarians. After losing the vast land of horse grazing south of the Great Wall, the number and quality of the cavalry of the seven countries of the Starfall Continent are inferior to the barbarians on the whole, and only armor and weapons can take back a city. If it weren't for the fact that the barbarians had chosen the time of the twenty-eighth year this time, Baima Town would have been fortified and cleared, the nearby villagers would have been connected to the city, and Baoding would have been recruited to defend the city.

Moreover, the barbarians have attacked several times in the first two days, filling in the east and west moats of White Horse Town, and the various signs behind it may also be "old and suspicious", creating the illusion of empty troops and luring the defenders to attack. The Barbarian's powerful mobility provides more tactical variations.

"It seems that this time I can't catch any big fish by casting the net. The general said regretfully, turned his head to look at Lu Lao, and said, "Let them close the net! I have to rush back for the New Year!"

The white-faced bearded old man answered, and took out a delicate pattern from his sleeve, the size of which was like the handle of an oil-paper umbrella, and the star power of his right hand was condensed, and the beautiful decoration was lit up, and it was suspended from the body.

Lu Lao's right hand was shining brightly, and from his wrist to the bottom of the silk fabric on his forearm, he could clearly see that more than a dozen stars were lit up one after another, which made that sleeve look like a layer of tulle.

Lu Lao threw the tattoo into the air with his backhand, and Wu Xing was even startled by the "thunder" brought by his action, which made the general laugh: "I saw you breaking into the camp just now, and I thought you were not afraid of the sky and the earth!"

The general on the side explained to Wu Xing in a kind whisper: "When Wuqu Xingjun's fist speed is extremely fast, this kind of thunder will be generated. There is also a star bow that has been promoted to the realm of 'Great Sound', and this kind of thunder will also be accompanied by the arrow after it is released. ”

The white-faced old man corrected slightly: "It can also be said that this kind of thunder will only be heard when the arrow is hit." The reason why it is named the realm of 'big sound' is taken from the ancient saying 'big sound is sound, and the elephant is invisible'. ”

Wu Xing ignored the general's ridicule, and was understanding the gap between this kind of big sound realm and the wind-chasing arrow, when he suddenly heard a thunder roar above his head, and when he looked up, he only had time to see a black wind flag on a white background waving in the wind above the starry sky, like a firework of a fire tree and silver flower, which quickly turned from extremely bright to dim, and then disappeared. It seems that the function of the pattern is similar to that of fireworks, and it transmits a specific signal of bamboo newspaper to a very large area.

"How hard does it take to throw this to such a high place?" Wu Xing was shocked, glanced at the huge bed crossbow not far away, and muttered, "I'm afraid the bed crossbow can't shoot that high, right?"

Lu Lao smiled reservedly and did not answer.

Bang Bang!

There was a sound of armor pieces colliding against each other from the inside of the city wall.

Wu Xing walked to the edge of the stairway and looked around, and found that the well-armored soldiers below were already dressed neatly, and they were arrayed on the long street behind the city gate cave one after another, and the mounts under their crotch were all majestic tall horses. In the distance, soldiers with the same standard armor took out their war horses from the Tibetan cave, turned over their horses, and gathered towards the nearest two city gate towers. The horses' hooves rattle on the stone pavement with the same unhurried ride as their owners.

In front of the array, it was the standard-bearer holding high the black dragon battle flag on a white background, and after the herald reported the information of the completion of the assembly to the leading generals, he said loudly: "Open the city gate!"

Knock knock knock!

The sound of the winch rolling the thick iron chain was like a light drum beat. Under the command of the city gate officer, the city gate was raised, and the people who helped to open the city gate waited in the city gate hole, and handed a lighted torch to each cavalry who left the city. When these cavalry left the city through the two gates, they became two fiery dragons in the night, and swept towards the north with a roar.

"You sent someone to clean up the barbarians in those barracks. The barracks of the guerrilla generals have been destroyed, so let's make up for those barracks. In the future, another guerrilla general will be transferred to strengthen the defense of Whitehorse Town. There were two guerrilla generals in charge, plus thousands of militia baoding...... If you are taken captive by the barbarians again, you will hang yourself above this gate!" the general reprimanded, waved his hand, and turned to descend the wall.

Lu Lao and General Pi followed behind, and the three black-clothed men turned over directly from the city wall and went out of the city, fluttering like a piece of flying flotsam, and the figure quickly disappeared in the light of the torches lit at the beginning of the city, and disappeared into the night that was getting thicker and thicker.

Wu Xing was stunned for a long time, not knowing where to go for a while, and heard the general scolding there before stepping on the stirrup and getting on the horse: "...... It's been more than a year since I took office, hasn't it? The defense of a military town was in such a mess that a guerrilla general was asked to go back to his old business and not collect it all night....... After making money, I heard that I had secretly raised two concubines outside...... If it weren't for the fact that the recommender is loyal to the country, I would have hum a long time ago!"

"Hey, kid, aren't you coming with us?" The general's voice came, and Wu Xing looked around, and found that the one who could be called "kid" seemed to be alone.

Seeing this, the magistrate was wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Your Excellency the general is calling you! Why don't you go quickly?"

"Loyal ...... It's the name of Lord Longxi County, right?" Wu Xing raised his foot and asked casually.

Zhixian obviously hesitated for a moment before nodding.
