"There's no problem with your granary, right?" Nodding, Shi Jiangchuan moved on to the next question.
"The Night Army isn't trying to burn down our granary, the fire over there will be extinguished soon. ”
"Why did the Night Army concentrate on burning down our granaries instead of scattering the outskirts of our camp, given that they had winged birds to use?"
"We have more than one granary, and the night army must be in a hurry to determine the exact location of each granary. Besides, they have a limited number of winged birds, and they probably don't want to waste time in finding our food and forage. ”
The two marshals discussed the problem while waiting for news, now that the situation in the camp had stabilized, and many generals were already busy preparing for war in their respective duties, the next thing the two marshals had to discuss was naturally some issues that they did not understand for the time being.
At the same time, in the front of the barracks, the chaos just now had awakened all those who had been asleep. The Winged Nation people were all standing outside the tent and watching the situation around the camp at the moment, and they could see that the fire in some places had not been completely extinguished, but they could not hear the panic sound before.
In the past, when some of them asked the coalition for details, the head of the coalition told them that the night army was creating chaos, but it had no substantial impact on the coalition army, and then asked them to prepare for battle, and there might be a big battle between the two sides tonight.
After a brief explanation and notification from the coalition side, those who had been worried about the situation were relieved one by one, and no one had any intention of sleeping again, and at this moment many people were standing outside the camp tent with weapons and waiting for the arrival of the night army, like the coalition army, they had to be ready to participate in the battle at any time.
And when the camp was attacked in many places earlier, Fang Qing and the others took advantage of the chaos to find some black sachets in two nearby locations, some of which had been broken by fire, so they simply opened the broken sacs to spread the powder more widely. While the coalition forces were busy avoiding those dangerous areas, four of the nine had already taken advantage of the chaos to find the tips, and after contacting each other, only three were left without the powder.
The three people who had not received the powder for the time being could only continue to wait for the opportunity, and when the beast attacked the coalition camp and chaos appeared again, they could take the opportunity to look for the powder in several places behind the fire.
The night army's act of burning the joint camp made the situation more and more tense, and in the anxious waiting, Fang Qing and the others were a little anxious, they were not afraid that the people around them would find out their identities, but they were just worried about the safety of the next operation. Time passed little by little, and the only thing a few people could do was to adjust their emotions as soon as possible.
"Marshal Tie, the night army hasn't come over yet, could it be that he just wants to scare us with those winged birds?" The two commanders of the coalition forces, because they had not received specific news for a long time, Shi Jiangchuan had a lot of suspicions in his heart.
"I don't think so, maybe the winged bird that flew away just now will really fly back. ”
"That's okay, you and I have already asked the lower parts to check the situation with luminous arrows at regular intervals, and as long as their winged birds dare to fly back, the cannons we have laid everywhere can shoot down those winged birds as soon as possible. "Shi Jiangchuan is not worried that the night army will use the winged bird to kill the horse pistol, because they have already made arrangements.
"If their winged birds fly higher, won't they cause us trouble?" Tie Xin's eyes flashed, and he thought of a possibility.
"Marshal Tie, don't worry, although our battalion is large, if their men want to attack us accurately, they will definitely fly within our range. And the wind is not small tonight, I'm afraid they won't dare to fly too high. Shi Jiangchuan seemed to have considered it comprehensively, there was no panic between his words, and the tone of his words made Tie Xin not have any doubts just by listening to it.
"Report, a large number of fierce beasts have been found in the eastern position," while the two were talking, a sentry carrying a command flag rushed from outside the camp to the central area of the camp, and reported his findings to the marshal above.
"Report, a large number of fierce beast traces have been found in the west direction," the sentinel in front had just finished speaking, and in the blink of an eye, another sentry rushed from the other direction. Judging from the fact that the sentry was in a mess, it seemed that he had fallen on the road when he came.
"Fierce beast," the next moment, Shi Jiangchuan and Tie Xin exclaimed in unison, surprised by the news reported by the outpost coming from the east and west.
"Where did the large number of fierce beasts come from?" then Tie Xin asked with a look of surprise on his face.
"The subordinates don't know," in the face of Tie Xin's inquiry, the sentinel from the flying army immediately replied.
"How long will it take to get to the camp?" Dissatisfied with the sentinel's answer, Tie Xin asked again.
"Anytime," thinking that if he hadn't ridden fast just now, he might have been caught up by those fierce beasts, and the flying army sentry who was still panting responded again.
"Marshal Tie, why are there fierce beasts approaching our camp on both sides, what is going on?" Because the news was brought by spies from both sides almost at the same time, Shi Jiangchuan didn't even need to doubt the accuracy of the news, he just wanted to find out why the fierce beasts came.
"Ben Shuai doesn't know," just replied that he didn't know, Tie Xin suddenly remembered that he had mentioned a beast attack plan to Shi Jiangchuan a few days ago, his eyes flashed, and Tie Xin immediately asked with a frightened face: "Could it be that the night army is using the beast attack plan against us?"
"Unlikely, even if the Night Army has winged birds available, where did they get the medicine?" Shi Jiangchuan was very sure of the use of medicine to deny Tie Xin's speculation, but the matter of the fierce beast attacking the camp made him puzzled. It stands to reason that the fierce beasts should attack Fancheng, which is closer to them, and they should not run a few tens of miles to attack their coalition camp.
"Could it be that Ruan Qiling didn't run out of medicine when he attacked the night army with the beast attack plan, and later the medicine was obtained by the night army?"
"Don't worry too much, Marshal Tie, you and I should hurry up and prepare to meet the fierce beasts, and don't let those fierce beasts rush into our camp!" Shi Jiangchuan's face was shocked and he couldn't refute Tie Xin's inference, but even if he was sure that Tie Xin's guess was correct, what was the use, it was imperative that they should be prepared to prevent the fierce beasts from attacking the camp.
"Okay," he agreed, thinking that the fire problem had been solved, and now they could do their best to prevent the beast attack, and as long as the Night Army didn't come, they would have time to solve the current problem.
"Report, the night army has left the city and is marching towards the camp of our army," and as a result, just as the two of them were busy arranging the problem of dealing with the fierce beast, a sentry from Yangguo rode a horse and hurried to Shi Jiangchuan's location.
"What?" The next time, Shi Jiangchuan and Tie Xin let out an exclamation in unison. It was extremely difficult for the two of them to accept the attack on the camp by the fierce beast, but they didn't expect that at the critical moment, the two received the news they wanted to receive, and when they had an unexpected feeling, their faces gradually became solemn.
"Marshal Tie, the Night Army must want to use the fierce beasts to create chaos before attacking us, and those fierce beasts must not be allowed to rush into the camp," the original situation was already not optimistic, and now it is even more urgent. In a hurry, Shi Jiangchuan didn't care about the night army that had already sent troops, and just wanted to stop all the fierce beasts that rushed towards their camp.
"Without further ado, we hurriedly ordered that the soldiers below must stop the fierce beast, and we must not let the fierce beast rush into the camp," nodded, and Tie Xin said the same opinion as Shi Jiangchuan. Immediately afterward, the two hurriedly separated and ordered the main general below them to march all the ballistae in their respective armies around the camp and prepare to meet the fierce beasts.
Although they already knew that the night army was coming, the two commanders tacitly did not think about withdrawing the army, because all their supplies were in the camp and could not be withdrawn in a hurry. It's just that when the two of them issued an emergency military order, the sound of those fierce beasts running on the east and west sides of the camp had already reached here.
The low sound of "Knock Knock Knock ......" came from afar continuously, as if someone was constantly beating a war drum.
"Marshal Tie, why did those fierce beasts come so quickly, could it be that someone had already sprinkled the medicinal powder in our barracks?"
"Probably not, there are no outsiders in our military camp except for those winged people, in my opinion, it may be that they used winged birds to lure those fierce beasts," the heavy mountains on both sides are so far away from the camp, Tie Xin doesn't think that there is any medicinal powder that can lure the fierce beasts dozens of miles away here, the only possibility is what he said a few days ago about using winged birds to lure fierce beasts.
"Then let the soldiers continue to pay attention to the sky," there was no doubt about the analysis of iron, Shi Jiangchuan could only helplessly let people continue to pay attention to the situation in the sky.
"Well," without thinking that there might be night soldiers in the camp, Tie Xin only nodded in agreement.
"All men ready for battle," it wasn't long before many of the generals on the outskirts of the coalition camp shouted loudly announcing that they were going to take on the beast. According to them, there are not many fierce beasts, and those fierce beasts must be kept out.
In less than a quarter of an hour, both coalition forces had laid a large number of ballistas on the periphery of the camp, as well as countless archers, and in order to solve the problem of fierce beasts as soon as possible, they did not care about the loss of ordnance.
When the coalition forces were ready to stop the fierce beasts, Fang Qing and the others cheered up one by one, as long as the fierce beasts could rush into the camp and cause great chaos to the coalition forces, then their safety during operations would be greatly improved.
Not long ago, when the surrounding people from the Wing Kingdom noticed that there was a strange noise coming from the east and west, and the sound was getting louder and louder, they kept looking for the people of the coalition army to ask about the situation, and the reply from the coalition army was that the fierce beasts in the mountains were too hungry, and at this moment, under the leadership of high-level fierce beasts, they were rushing towards their camp in groups, and the overall number was not much, so let them hurry up and prepare for battle.
