Chapter 804: Fierce Beasts Attack the Camp

In the evening, tonight, Lin Xuanzhong specially ordered the troops below to be stationed in a place that was more open and not easy to be ambushed. When setting up camp, the first thing Lin Xuanzhong did was to set up sentry posts around the barracks, and he must not let last night's incident happen again. The second thing is to keep the soldiers of the battalion on their guard, even during meals and breaks, to be ready to participate in the battle at any time.

Although it would be very tiring for the soldiers to carry out Lin Xuanzhong's request, there was no other way to do it for the time being, and after two successive military orders were passed down, Lin Xuanzhong took some generals to the camp tent to study the surrounding terrain. There was about one hundred and fifty miles from Sword City to the front of the city, and according to the speed of their march in the mountains for thirty or forty miles a day, it would take about five or six days.

By tonight, the army had not yet entered the middle area, and that area that was really full of danger was only an area where there were more fierce beasts, and the nearby fierce beasts had become one of the threats they needed to guard against. The chaos in the world has many disadvantages for people, but it has great benefits for the reproduction of fierce beasts.

According to what he saw and heard in Fancheng, Lin Xuanzhong was worried that those fierce beasts with low intelligence would attack the army in groups, so after consulting with the generals, Lin Xuanzhong issued a third military order, ordering people to arrange all the cannons on the periphery of the camp to deal with the attack of the fierce beasts at any time.

After dinner, the soldiers outside were busy for half a day before placing the hundred cannons in turn in the direction that was most likely to be attacked by the fierce beasts, and when they were busy arranging the defensive line, many soldiers complained that Lin Xuanzhong had arranged too much extra work for them, and in the case of rarely encountering fierce beasts on the way, in their opinion, Lin Xuanzhong's request was completely redundant. Even if there are some problems within the army, there are 40,000 of them, and now that the camp is brightly lit, how dare those fierce beasts come to attack at will, it is actually enough to set up a guard outside.

"Oh no, there is a group of fierce beasts rushing over from the south!" When Lin Xuanzhong was discussing with the generals how to make arrangements to ensure the safety of the march, there was an urgent shout from outside the camp tent.

"Everyone, go out with me first," interrupted a general's speech, and the next time, Lin Xuanzhong looked away from the map and turned around and walked straight out of the tent, with Zhang Jiutian and the others following closely.

"General, hundreds of fierce beasts rushed to the south avenue of the camp, and they were facing our barracks. The subordinates were too slow to send back the news as soon as possible, so they asked the general to surrender their crimes, "As soon as Lin Xuanzhong arrived outside the account, a night soldier ran over in a panic, and knelt down as soon as he saw Lin Xuanzhong.

"It's gloomy today, and there are many peaks in the mountains that block the sound, and you don't blame you for not finding out the situation in time," the running speed of the fierce beast is not comparable to that of Wu Xiu, and hundreds of fierce beasts are not too many, if this spy didn't come in a hurry and failed to deliver the information in time, it would be even worse, so Lin Xuanzhong didn't blame the spy in front of him for reporting the news too late.

"Hundreds," after the spy left, he muttered, Lin Xuanzhong had already thought that as long as there were not many high-level fierce beasts in the beast group, it was not too much of a problem, and he just needed to kill those fierce beasts as soon as possible.

"General, once we fight with those fierce beasts, the smell of blood here will inevitably attract more fierce beasts, and the last general feels that when the battle is over, we should pull out the camp as soon as possible," when Lin Xuanzhong was thinking about how to deal with the problem of the attack of the fierce beasts now, Zhang Jiutian had already thought about the problem after the battle.

"General Zhou, leave the matter of pulling out the camp to you to be responsible, store the camp tents, treat the wounded soldiers, you must not make mistakes," no matter where those fierce beasts came from, Zhang Jiutian's reminder was indeed very reasonable, nodded, Lin Xuanzhong thought that it might be insufficient to hand over this matter to Zhou Wenfeng alone, so his eyes quickly fell on Ruan Yi again, "General Ruan, you try your best to assist General Zhou." ”

"Yes. ”

"Yes. ”

Zhou Wenfeng and Ruan Yi received orders one after another, and they had already taken Lin Xuanzhong's orders to heart.

"The general is not good, there are countless fierce beasts in the north rushing towards our army's camp," when Lin Xuanzhong was thinking about explaining what the other generals were doing, another spy hurriedly ran to deliver the message.

"How much is innumerable?" Lin Xuanzhong frowned, faintly worried about tonight's events.

"The subordinates don't know, it's too dark, and the subordinates just judge by the shadows and voices," the spy looked up, and there were still scratches on his face, as if he had fallen on the way to deliver the message. Although he was a little dissatisfied with the inaccuracy of the information reported by this person, because of the scars on this person's face, Lin Xuanzhong could no longer blame this person.

"Which generals are in charge of the area in the south?" The next moment, Lin Xuanzhong's gaze stopped on the generals behind him.

"The last general. ”

"The last general. ”

"And the last general," replied a company of three generals.

"The three of you quickly go over and command the battle, and be sure to block the onslaught of the beast. After Ben will find out the situation, he will go over to help you and wait," Looking at Yang Shifeng among the three, Lin Xuanzhong directly handed over the heavy responsibility of guarding the southern camp to the three of them.

"The generals in charge of the northern region should also come over, and report to the general as soon as there is any important situation. ”

"General, shall I wait?" In a blink of an eye, half of the generals who were originally surrounding Lin Xuanzhong left, and there were still generals in charge of the east and west.

"Qin Chong, Li Xiao, the two of you each take ten soldiers to the mountains on the east and west sides to confirm whether there is any abnormal situation under the mountain, if there are suspicious people or fierce beasts, immediately set fire to them. ”

"Yes," Qin Chong promised to another named general, and immediately turned to leave.

"General, do you want to send a message to General Fang for help?" As soon as Lin Xuanzhong's order went down, Zhang Jiutian's voice continued to sound, and while realizing that he was still inconsiderate, Lin Xuanzhong could only secretly thank Zhang Jiutian for his help in his heart.

"Send a messenger as soon as possible!"

"But if tonight's events are manipulated by the people of Yang, I am afraid that our messengers will not be able to get there!"

"That's right. ”

"According to the general's opinion, if you want to send someone, you have to send someone who is familiar with the terrain?"

"You mean to send a man who is a proprietor?"

"Not only that, but you have to take some hidden routes, which can take a lot of time. ”

"You mean that Ben was prepared for no assistance?"

"The general is wise," Zhang Jiutian nodded without hesitation, and praised Lin Xuanzhong with a serious face in front of the others.

"Next time you have something to say, don't waste Ben General's time," Lin Xuanzhong's attitude towards the current problem immediately changed when he realized that Zhang Jiutian said so much just to make himself understand that it was unlikely that he would be rescued.

"General Zhou, General Ruan, the two of you are responsible for surveying the situation in the north and south first, and once you find that there are other fierce beast groups, you will immediately send someone to report," After giving an order to the two generals, Lin Xuanzhong looked at the remaining people: "The others will follow me back to the camp first." ”

"Yes," Zhang Jiutian and the other two generals agreed, and then followed Lin Xuanzhong towards the Chinese army's big tent.

After entering the big tent, he turned around and saw that there were still three generals left, and a feeling of insufficient manpower at a critical moment arose, which made Lin Xuanzhong feel like he wanted to go into battle in person, but on the other hand, he wanted to take care of the overall situation, and as the main general, he couldn't move around at will at the moment. After a period of struggle, Lin Xuanzhong only hoped that the people below would not let him down.

"General, last night was a mountain bandit attack on the camp, tonight is a fierce beast attack on the camp, our army has encountered a situation for two consecutive nights, it is too much of a coincidence, is it all a trick of Yangguo to deal with us?" General Qi looked angry at this moment, very suspicious of the situation of the beast attack tonight.

"Yes or no, what can it be?" After taking a long breath, Lin Xuanzhong continued: "Our army is located between the two cities, there is no village in front of it, and there is no store in the back, do you still want the general to send you to question them?"

"The subordinates didn't mean that," Frightened by Lin Xuanzhong's question, General Qi looked startled and immediately shook his head.

"The plan for today is to solve the current problem first," retracting his gaze from General Qi, Lin Xuanzhong had already thought that there were enough generals sent out. If you send some more people out, there will be no one available when there are more beasts attacking, so after glancing at Zhang Jiutian and the others, he didn't say anything in the end.

When Lin Xuanzhong continued to think about some questions, outside the camp, in the north and south, those soldiers who were facing the fierce beast group felt that Lin Xuanzhong had asked them to place ballistas to prevent the fierce beasts from doing too much, but when the fierce beasts really rushed over, they all felt that they were too slack. If they had known that there were really fierce beasts attacking the camp, they would have rushed to stand by the ballistas. In this way, even if the beast suddenly rushes at it now, they don't have to rush to prepare to launch the arrows.

Fortunately, the reminder of his own personnel was quite timely, and at this moment, under the command of the general above, when those fierce beasts ran into the range, one after another arrows were fired out one after another, aiming at those fierce beasts that were running.

A moment later, a series of fierce beast screams rang out, and no matter how powerful those beasts were, they would surely die if they were shot by arrows while running fast.

The successive falls of the beasts caused some confusion in the herd, and many of them tripped over the corpses on the ground, but they were still running forward.

"Xiu ......" was another round of shooting, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of fierce beasts in the southern area had been killed by arrows, but the remaining fierce beasts had also rushed to the front. In order to prevent the fierce beasts from rushing to the barracks and damaging the equipment, when they were forty or fifty meters away, the general above called for a stop, and then let the infantry soldiers lined up in the array rush out, and then let some soldiers send the ballistas to the rear area.

"Don't panic, there are only a few hundred fierce beasts, as long as we work together to deal with those fierce beasts, we will all be safe," the fierce beasts were menacing, and in order to prevent the soldiers below from being timid, some officers did not forget to shout like this.

"Rush," under the command of the general above, those junior officers took the lead and rushed out. In the blink of an eye, more than 10,000 foot soldiers in the south directly fought with hundreds of fierce beasts. The number of beasts is too small compared to the number of night troops, but officially because of the limited number of beasts, many soldiers cannot join the battle after rushing up with weapons.
