Chapter 614: Night Attack
According to the observation of the night elephant, it is not difficult for Lin Xuanzhong to think that the army will have to rush normally tomorrow morning, but he didn't expect to set off again so soon, and he can't help but feel a little touched in his heart, I don't know if it is because of the influence of the weather, there is always a low emotion in his heart.
There was silence in the barracks, as it was cold and many soldiers rested early. The roars of some wild beasts came from the mountains in the distance, sometimes chaotic, sometimes very regular, the sounds were sometimes far away and sometimes near, causing people to reverie, I don't know how far those voices were from the barracks, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly wanted to see where those voices came from. No matter what the beasts were, they just wanted to see what it was like when they roared.
The evening breeze kept blowing, the cold became heavier and heavier, and gradually people had a feeling of irresistibility, but there was a bit of unique loneliness in this cold, obviously only a few dozen meters away from the barracks, and he knew that there were many people in the barracks, but at this moment, Lin Xuanzhong stood there alone and always had a feeling of being isolated from the world.
This loneliness may be difficult to understand, but it is such a real existence, standing in the wind for a long time, Lin Xuanzhong slowly turned around and walked towards the barracks, his white hair fluttering in the wind, under the dim moonlight, Lin Xuanzhong's figure was so special.
The night was uneventful, and the next morning the barracks was filled with the sounds of busyness, mixed with the commands of some senior officers, some busy cooking, some busy carrying out the wheels stuck in the mud, and some people feeding the horses and ferocious fowl, and everything was so tense and orderly before departure.
After breakfast, Yan Nantian gave an order, and the grain and grass team went on the road again, and the eyes of many soldiers revealed a sharp spirit, as if after a rain, many people realized that they were about to face war, not a long journey, as if after a rain, many people could see farther.
The mental changes of those soldiers also led to changes in the atmosphere of the army, and in those sharp edges, Lin Xuanzhong had no other feeling except that he felt more and more uncomfortable, and this walk was another day. When they set up camp at night, they were thirty miles away from their previous camp.
At the same time, Ruan Yi's group was only ten miles away from the new garrison of the night army, which was deliberately kept at a distance from the night army after they confirmed the location of the night army, the garrison of the night army was not far from the location they originally planned, and the terrain changed slightly, but it did not affect the overall situation, so Ruan Yi set the time of action for this evening.
At night, the weather was clearer, with half a moon hanging in the sky, passing through the loose clouds from time to time, and a few stars beside it, and the night sky was so bleak.
Just like last night, the low mood surrounded him for a long time, which made Lin Xuanzhong inevitably have a lot of sorrows. After having dinner until he was completely free, Lin Xuanzhong found a place around the camp to be quiet.
The night was too cold, Lin Xuanzhong first practiced the body method, and then practiced the swordsmanship, and it took a long time to practice. In the eyes of other generals, Lin Xuanzhong's focus on cultivation far surpassed theirs, but in Lin Xuanzhong's own opinion, no matter how he practiced, he didn't seem to have made progress.
After practicing hard in the past half a month, now the body technique and swordsmanship are in the bottleneck stage, there is no chance of breakthrough, it seems that no matter how much you practice, it is just to increase the proficiency, and there is no real improvement, what is the point of practicing like this, when he felt a little tired, Lin Xuanzhong found a clean position and sat down.
While meditating cross-legged to adjust his internal breath, while thinking about cultivation, Lin Xuanzhong's practice in the past few days has made Lin Xuanzhong find many problems, so at this moment, he kept thinking that if the Ling family master was by his side, maybe he didn't have to think about some problems in swordsmanship, but it seemed that he could only rely on himself in terms of body technique.
The Eight Desolate Steps are not an ordinary body method, there are many differences from the usual body practice methods, Lin Xuanzhong himself doesn't know what is going on with the inability to improve the body method, presumably the Ling family master will not know either, so in the Eight Desolate Steps, there is no one to guide him, and everything seems to be on his own. Thinking like this in his heart, Lin Xuanzhong continued to think about some of the problems he had encountered in terms of body methods during this time.
Looking back on the practice of the past few days, it seems that the problem is still in the body, even if it has become a sixth-order martial cultivator, but after frequently using the Five Steps and Eight Desolations, there will still be a feeling of physical exhaustion, and the feeling of ease and ease every time I used the Five Steps and Eight Desolations before is like an illusion.
It is precisely that Lin Xuanzhong can confirm that there is no problem with his body, and it is stronger than ordinary martial arts, so it is difficult to figure out where the problem appears, after thinking about it many times, his emotions gradually changed from calm to irritable, the more so, the more Lin Xuanzhong couldn't think of a reason.
After the problem gradually turned into an unsolvable problem, in the end, Lin Xuanzhong could only tell himself that it was useless to think too much. Taking a few deep breaths, before I knew it, it was late at night, the silence around the camp was abnormal, obviously I had entered the mountains, but I couldn't hear the roar of the beast tonight, while feeling strange about this, Lin Xuanzhong slowly got up and walked towards the camp.
It's just that he didn't take two steps, and suddenly some movement came from behind him, and when he listened carefully, it seemed that some fierce beast was crawling forward, and the voice became more and more urgent.
Under the cold moonlight, Lin Xuanzhong turned around and looked into the distance, and vaguely saw some black shadows, and then looked closely, there were many of those black shadows, as if they were moving forward in pieces, and his heart was shocked, while feeling a little terrifying, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly had a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
The cold moon suddenly brightened, and in an instant, Lin Xuanzhong saw that those black images were human figures, and the number could not be counted. Based on his instinctive reaction, subconsciously, Lin Xuanzhong hurriedly turned around and shouted in the direction of the camp, "There is an enemy attack." ”
Immediately after, unsure of how powerful the danger was, Lin Xuanzhong hurriedly retreated to the camp.
After hearing Lin Xuanzhong's voice, the team in charge of patrolling the camp immediately approached the east position, and the soldiers who had been asleep were also directly awakened by Lin Xuanzhong, and turned over one by one to check the situation outside the camp tent.
"General Lin, what's going on?" the patrol team quickly caught up with Lin Xuanzhong, because Lin Xuanzhong's white hair confirmed Lin Xuanzhong's identity for the first time.
"There's some movement over there, you go over and check it out," in a hurry, Lin Xuanzhong didn't think too much and directly ordered the patrolling soldiers.
"Yes," the leader agreed, and then led the people east. Out of a sense of precaution, everyone pointed their spears diagonally ahead, divided into two teams, and quickly advanced.
"General Lin, what's going on?" While Lin Xuanzhong was staring at the backs of those patrolling soldiers and paying attention to the situation in front, Yan Nantian hurried over with a few generals.
"There seem to be people in the east, and there are a lot of them," Before Yan Nantian and the others arrived, Lin Xuanzhong originally had some thoughts in his mind, but he was directly interrupted by Yan Nantian, and he couldn't think of it for a while, so Lin Xuanzhong answered Yan Nantian's question first. Now after answering Yan Nantian, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly thought that he wanted to remind those patrol soldiers to be careful just now, so he hurriedly looked at those patrol soldiers.
After a series ......of screams, one of the soldiers shouted "There is an enemy attack" and then there was no movement. Shocked, Yan Nantian and the others all looked to the east.
"Everyone be careful, those people are at this moment," just at this time, the moon passed through the clouds, and the light was a little brighter than before, and in an instant, Lin Xuanzhong, Yan Nantian and the others could clearly see that there were dozens of black shadows approaching the camp not far away.
"Archers come quickly!" Since there was still some distance between him and those people, he didn't know the specific number of those people, Yan Nantian immediately turned around and shouted towards the camp, wanting the archers to deal with those people first.
"General, the archers are already in place," a lieutenant general below organized the archers and brought them over, and immediately reported to Yan Nantian.
"What are you waiting for, why don't you release the arrows soon?" Seeing that the other party was already less than twenty meters away from them, and they were all extremely fast, Yan Nantian thought that if he didn't release the arrows, there would be no chance for the archers to attack, and he immediately shouted at the deputy general.
"Yes," the lieutenant general did not dare to slack off when he received the instruction, and before he could turn around, he shouted to the group of archers behind him, "Attack directly." ”
"Xiu Xiu ......" just came over, and the situation was not fully understood, and the archers received the order and released arrows directly in front of them one by one. After some soldiers brought some torches, the presence of those shadows became even more apparent.
"Rush," On the other side, Ruan Yiren, who was originally sneaking towards the barracks, had already realized that their whereabouts were exposed after Lin Xuanzhong's shout just now, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised, but it actually had no effect on them, because they were close enough to the camp.
After easily solving the patrol soldiers, and then Yan Nantian ordered the archers to attack, those people were only more than twenty meters away from the military camp in a blink of an eye under the accelerated march, and they could rush to Yan Nantian and the others in just one breath, so someone shouted at the critical moment.
"The strength and number of the assassins are not yet known, when the fight starts, everyone be careful," As a person in the upper echelon of the entire military camp, Yan Nantian stood at the front and rear with nine generals, and some of the remaining eighteen lieutenant generals were still commanding the soldiers to destroy the team, but most of them had already arrived.
"Ahh
......
Some black-clothed assassins were shot by a dense array of bows and arrows, letting out a series of screams, but no one fell, it is conceivable that as long as they did not hit the vital position, ordinary arrows could not shoot those people to death, but without knowing the strength of the enemy's personnel, how could Yan Nantian dare to rashly order the use of golden scale arrows, after all, there are not many golden scale arrows.
After a burst of "dang, dang, dang......", even though it was night, Ruan Yi and the others still blocked most of the bows and arrows with their keen vision.
