Chapter 817: Successful Transmission

However, because of the darkness and the confusion caused by some of the injured people falling, the night army's shooting effect is still much greater.

It didn't take long for the people over there to rush forward more quickly because of the chaos of the situation, and at the same time, they were all enraged by the Night Army's actions, and the anger made their killing intent towards the Night Army even stronger.

"Rush," under the influence of each other, those charges were louder, and the momentum was somewhat amazing.

"Let's go," Zhang Jiutian, who was in the center of the queue, issued a second order when a certain number of people rushed straight from the foot of the mountain. In the next moment, the archers gathered in several phalanxes and exited from the corridor left by the people behind, while dozens of ballistas were displayed at those who rushed over.

"Boom, boom, boom," the arrows were launched one after another, and the range of the arrows could reach a distance of two hundred meters, and the power of the arrows was so great that even high-level martial cultivators did not dare to forcibly resist, not to mention that the personnel in charge of the charge now were just some ordinary martial cultivators.

The terrible scream of "Ah......hh As long as they are shot at the body by arrows, even if they do not die, they will still incapacitate people. In addition, the power of the arrow is so strong that it will not stop at all after hitting one person, and sometimes it can even penetrate the body of several people in a row.

One arrow can kill several people, and these cannons that have been modified to shoot fierce beasts can shoot three arrows at a time, and dozens of arrows are fired at the same time, which is hundreds of arrows. Despite the scattered distribution of those personnel to avoid the night fire, dozens of ballistas could still shoot more than 100 people in a single attack, but unfortunately the number of arrows was limited.

After the third round of attacks, although there was still some time to attack, Zhang Jiutian had to stop because of the lack of arrows, and then ordered to charge when his morale increased. In the next time, the generals and lieutenants in front of the queue rushed directly to the front with the soldiers behind them.

"Rush," the night army's queue was neat, much more prominent than those enemy personnel who were scattered because they had to guard against the night army's successive shots, and the momentum of the neat charge was even more extraordinary.

"Jingle bell," and soon the people on both sides fought together. At the same time, Zhang Jiutian quickly ordered the archers to retreat and push the ballista cart to the west of the camp for the use of the personnel from the west.

At present, there are 10,000 troops invested in the eastern battlefield, and according to the news reported by the spies before, there should be 10,000 people on the Sword City side. Although the Sword City side used a good method of dispersing manpower to deal with the night army's shooting when charging, they still lost more than 2,000 people, including many fourth-order and fifth-order martial cultivators, and they underestimated the army's ability.

However, despite this, their remaining personnel are still more than the troops invested by the night army, and when it comes to formal fighting, the personal combat strength of the personnel whose basic quality exceeds that of the night army is no worse than that of ordinary night soldiers. Coupled with the anger brewing during the previous charge, he killed people one by one, and attacked mercilessly, quickly making up for the gap between him and the night army in terms of momentum.

On the other hand, those night soldiers have undergone formal training, and as soldiers, many people know very well that unless they are officers and the like to fight on the battlefield, ordinary martial arts cultivators forcibly use martial arts skills in addition to creating opportunities for the other party to attack, and will not bring any benefits to themselves, because soldiers pay attention to actual combat ability, and the pursuit is to kill with one hit.

Under the command of the officers above, in the face of the surging enemy but without any offensive rules, those soldiers formed a tight defensive line, and through mutual cooperation and simple fighting techniques, they continued to kill the rushing enemy in the melee, and stabilized the situation in the blink of an eye.

"Report to the general, there are a large number of suspicious people in the west," the battle in the east of the camp had just started, and General Qi brought Lin Xuanzhong another piece of news that Lin Xuanzhong wanted to know earlier and didn't want to know.

"General Zhou, you guys hurry up and prepare for the battle, and be sure to reduce the enemy's manpower as much as possible before formally engaging with the enemy," Fang Cai's eastern position can actually continue to attack with bows and arrows or ballistas for a period of time, but unfortunately the number of arrows and arrows is limited, and Lin Xuanzhong allocated the equipment earlier. Now that the enemy army appeared in the west direction without accident, Lin Xuanzhong naturally wanted to use the last bow and arrow to deal the greatest blow to the enemy forces as much as possible.

"Yes," the next time, Zhou Wenfeng and the generals in charge of the war in the west agreed in unison. This battle is related to their life and death, no matter whether Lin Xuanzhong explicitly requires them or not, they will not slack off.

Zhou Wenfeng left with a few generals, and there were only two generals left around Lin Xuanzhong, Qin Zhong and Sima Ruoqin, plus two guards. Qin Zhong also had to take over Zhou Wenfeng's duties to assist Xue Yin in treating the wounded soldiers, and the only thing Lin Xuanzhong could use at any time was General Sima.

Not long after, under the sound of a charge, Lin Xuanzhong heard that the battle in the west had officially begun, and he also invested 10,000 troops in the west, but the number of enemies was only an approximate number. According to the news brought back by the two spies before, there are about 10,000 people on one side, and the number of people on both sides together is more than the number of the night army now, but it will definitely not exceed 40,000, so the current situation is that the enemy has a certain advantage in numbers. After some consideration, Lin Xuanzhong felt that what he could do at present was to quickly let Xue Yin treat those poisoned people, otherwise they would have no chance of winning.

Calculating the time, there is only a quarter of an hour left before Xue Yin's proposal, which is not too long, but it is enough to make people anxious to wait.

While thinking about the attack on the front army, I also considered the situation on the side of the rear army. Before thinking about it clearly, Lin Xuanzhong only hoped that if Fang Quyin received a message asking for help, he would not rush to send troops. Speaking of which, until now, Lin Xuanzhong hadn't been able to think of where the other party had the extra people who could be used to ambush the rear army. According to Lin Xuanzhong's guess, even if the other party wanted to attack the rear army in an ambush, the number of people needed could not be less than half of the number of rear army.

If there was so much movement between the two cities, they would have been able to detect a little movement in a few days. Unless the previous two spies were sent by the other party, it is very worth considering where the extra personnel came from.

I didn't doubt the identity of the two spies, because the two spies were still in the big tent of the Chinese army, although their faces were a little cramped and uneasy, but they didn't show any panic, so people couldn't see any problems. When looking at the expressions of the two, Lin Xuanzhong thought that a spy had just said that there was someone who did not look like Yang Guo and contacted the city lord of the closed city. So, Lin Xuanzhong was thinking about whether the extra people were from the Qingyuan Great Country, but if they were from the Qingyuan Great Country, they didn't have to go to the lockdown to meet the people in person at all, unless those people were from other countries.

It's a pity that they haven't found any signs of army movement in Yangguo recently, and it is impossible for an army to enter and leave Yangguo without a little rumor. Thinking of this, Lin Xuanzhong's consideration encountered obstacles and could not continue. When he gave up that kind of thought, Lin Xuanzhong thought about whether the other party's goal would be just to deal with their front army, so Chang Siyuan was very likely to have encountered an accident.

Under the contradictory thoughts, Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts were even more chaotic and he couldn't keep calm, so slowly, Lin Xuanzhong didn't even have the ability to judge which situation was the most likely, and in the end he could only think that the rear army would rely on Fang Quyin to make a lot of fortune for himself, and the front army would have to hold on until Xue Yin rescued all the poisoned soldiers anyway.

When Lin Xuanzhong came to such a result, in the rear army, Fang Quyin had already received the news brought by Chang Siyuan. Nearly half of the soldiers of the front army have been poisoned and do not know whether they can be treated, and there are only 20,000 troops available at present, but they have received news from spies earlier that there are two groups of unknown people gathered in the southerly position on the east and west sides of the front army camp, and there are a large number of people, and they may take the opportunity to attack the front army tonight, or ambush the rear army.

According to Lin Xuanzhong's instructions, after making improvements, the main message that Chang Siyuan wanted to convey was like this. Of course, Chang Siyuan didn't forget Lin Xuanzhong's special explanation, those fierce beast meat may have problems, it's best not to eat them.

"Are there any poisoned people in the army?" When Chang Siyuan came, the rear army had not been camped here for a long time, and they had just had dinner, and Fang Quyin had not yet received a report from the people below about being poisoned.

"I'll ask," a general took the initiative to ask, and after getting Fang Quyin's consent, the man hurriedly left the big tent.

After the general left, the attention of the others returned to Chang Siyuan. Originally, half of the personnel of the front army were poisoned, which had shocked everyone, and when Chang Siyuan mentioned that there might be an ambush between the two armies, Fang Quyin and those generals were even more surprised.

"General Chang, why did General Lin say that there would likely be ambushes on the road?" Before Fang Quyin could say something, the next general had already taken the lead in questioning.

"Because when we found that a large number of soldiers were poisoned, the opponent's personnel did not attack in time, and later until General Lin determined the exact number of poisoned personnel, and then sent a message to the end of the faction, there was no attack, so General Lin felt that the real purpose of the enemy's despicable means to poison the front army was to attract reinforcements, so as to ambush the reinforcements in the hurry," Walking on the line of life and death, Chang Siyuan, who originally wanted to repay Lin Xuanzhong's kindness with death, but survived in the end, was quite calm, although some words were not Lin Xuanzhong's clear explanation before, but Chang Siyuan's expression seemed to have become better.

"General Chang, did General Lin speculate where the enemy got so much manpower?" The next moment, another general thought about the number of ambushed soldiers. Since there are quite a few of them, there must be a lot of ambush soldiers, but they haven't received any news of a large number of people moving in the direction of Sword City recently.
