At the same time when Zhou Zhe returned to the camp, the wolf riders in a radius of 100 miles south of Longquan Pass were converging in one direction, under the sunset, on a small dirt slope, four huge horns that were spliced together were being blown, only when you walked in could you hear the blows of the half-beast warriors, and the real sound, only those giant wolves with a hearing range greater than the size of the people can hear this horn sound, just like a person blowing a dog whistle, a team of wolf riders after the convergence of each team leader will shoot an arrow on a huge arrow target passing by, there is an arrow target in each of the four directions, an arrow represents ten people, and each arrow target has been densely shot on the arrow。 The team that entered the camp did not have complicated and cumbersome statistics, just ran clockwise, and then, like a plate of mosquito coils, stopped in a gap, and set up a bonfire in the middle, which was simple and efficient.

On the other side of the dirt slope, a tall half-orc greeted the setting sun, the big wolf behind him was blown by the wind, and the black giant wolf at his feet waited quietly. The orc watched the shadows flying in the sky in the setting sun get closer and closer, and drew the black longbow beside him and shot three whistles into the sky. The giant bird in the sky accelerated in response, and as it flew closer, a petite figure jumped down from the giant bird, falling to the ground like a bomb dropped by a dive bomber, and then moved around the small camps where bonfires were piled up, and there was a cry of surprise.

"The number one assassin in the world is truly extraordinary. The half-orc with the great bow said.

"Presumably Your Excellency is the Northern Plains Flying General Mengge, right? Did you bring anything I wanted?" the petite woman stood at the foot of the small slope ten paces away, ignoring the sharp edges of the arrows of the wolf riders and the Praetorian guards around her, her veiled face hazy, but her eyes were as sharp as lightning.

"It's here. Munger took out a delicate dagger from his bosom, perfectly curved, perfectly measured, but the blade did not reflect in the slightest, and remained quietly in Munger's hand, like a work of art. Seeing this scene, the woman's eyes moved, she took out the scabbard in her arms, shook it gently, and the dagger trembled as if she heard the call of a friend.

"It's a sacred relic of my house, and the three broken arrows are here. The woman tossed the box to Monger. As a result, Meng Ge took it in his hand and took it into his arms, holding the dagger in his hand, and said with a playful smile

"It's really a broken formation, you can trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I won't give it to you?" The woman was not worried, but said lightly:

"I'm not afraid, there are no scoundrels among the top fifth-order powerhouses in the world, if you take a dagger and have one more enemy, your plan is estimated to fail, and your tens of thousands of troops can't stop me. "The woman is full of confidence.

"Hahaha! It's not a loss that he is the number one assassin in the world, and I haven't heard of your real name, so he may have another time to cooperate in the future. Monger laughed heartily and threw the dagger at the woman. The woman took the dagger and held it with her backhand, waved it casually a few times, and then received it into the sheath.

"From now on, there is no first assassin in the world, only the blood moon hall is left to chase... After some of them said this, they whistled, and the giant bird swooped down, and Xin chased forward, with a red light under his feet, and then jumped up and grabbed the bird's claws with one hand, and gradually went away.

"The peak of the fourth order also has such strength, and if it is so fast, if it is the fifth order and I don't know the victory. Munger muttered to himself as he looked at the distant giant bird.

The night was extraordinarily quiet, and in the princess of a group of forbidden guards in silver-white armor, Li Jiuyang, who was dressed in golden uniform, looked at the Longquan defense map and thought,

The little maid Phantom Jade, who was also dressed in military uniform, had urged her to go to bed a few times.

"Phantom Jade, how is the surrounding situation?, is there a situation from the scout?" Li Jiuyang asked with some concern.

"Not yet, none of the scouts have returned, and Commander Wang has been on guard. ”

"His Royal Highness, the last general, there is news of scouts. Outside the ledger came the voice of the king's leader.

"There is no need to be polite in the army, and you can talk about it. Li Jiuyang didn't put his worries on his face anymore, and said lightly.

"Your Highness, a scout came back by luck just now, there seems to be signs of a large number of wolf horsemen gathering in our flank 30 miles, the specific number is unknown, please make a decision as soon as possible. ”

"Well, how many wolf cavalry attacks can we withstand, in one night?" Although Li Jiuyang is not very familiar with military affairs, she knows that this place is only one hundred and fifty miles away from Longquan Pass, and if it is dawn, the troops will definitely arrive, which also comes from the trust in the defender Chen Yuanhou.

"Although the forbidden army is strong, but we only have 5,000 people, if the Praetorian Guards of the Northern Plains King's Tent also come, although there is the support of the King Kong Array, I am afraid it will be difficult to support. Wang Yun replied very seriously and objectively, and after speaking, he was already clenching his fists, and cold sweat was soaking out of his head. Li Jiuyang was silent and thought quietly.

"Order the sergeants to carry the Vajra Array onto the carriage, discard the rest of the baggage, and sneak lightly. Assemble and head north in half an hour. Li Jiuyang made a quick decision.

"In this way, if the wolf rides to detect us, I may have no chance of winning in the field battle, why don't I take 500 people to travel lightly?" Wang Yun asked for battle.

"No, if the general is broken, I am afraid that there will be no return when I encounter a large group of people and horses, and the army needs people who know the soldiers to stabilize the morale of the army. ”

"The last will be ordered. Wang Yun saw that Li Jiuyang had made up his mind, and knew that the commander of the forbidden army, who knew the temperament of this talented princess, hugged his fists and took his orders to leave. The little maid Phantom Jade who was waiting on the side was about to pack up her things, and she was thinking in pieces

"This is the ambergris incense paid tribute on the coast of the East China Sea, you have to bring it, this is a dress made of clothes given by the queen's mother, you have to bring it, this is 。。。。。 ”

"Phantom Jade, these things are all gone, and there is no carriage to load these bits and pieces. Bring your weapons and go to the camp gate. Li Jiuyang was a little hateful, so he pulled the little maid out of the camp.

"But... But... Phantom Jade stammered.

"But these bits and pieces are not as good as a soldier's life. Salty radish is not worried. After speaking, he picked up his weapon and dragged the phantom jade out of the camp.

This should have been a sleepless night, and Chen Dashuai's heavy cavalry, who set off at noon, did only walk out for more than 30 miles for half a day, and when they arrived at sunset, they set up camp, as if they were preparing for a spiritual battle, and seemed to be waiting for work. It was not long before the camp began to gather dark clouds, and it should not have rained in this dry and cold assembly, and the sky did not seem to have so many dark clouds during the day. Before the encamped soldiers finished their doubts, the dripping raindrops began to fall, and soon it became a pouring rain, and the originally dry grass was suddenly muddy.

"Dashuai, the rain outside is too strong, and several waves of scouts can't see the road clearly, and they can't hear the sound clearly, they have all returned to the camp, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to march tomorrow. A lieutenant in charge of the sentry reported.

"Got it. The officers and men of each battalion were ordered to rest in armor after dinner, and to rest in turn. Chen Dashuai ordered his subordinates in a makeshift tent. Two men dressed in white dressed as scholars waited on the side.

The sudden heavy rain broke the silence of the night, and the original plan became full of loopholes under this heavy rain, and then it seemed that the temperature in the entire Longquan Pass was slowly dropping. Zhou Zhe slept very sweetly with the sound of rain, but he was woken up in the middle of the night.

"What's the situation?Wang Rui?" Zhou Zhe muttered dissatisfiedly in a daze.

"It's raining outside, and General Qu ordered me to wait for half an hour and then go out of the customs to help. Things are a little strange, you hurry up and put on the armor, I will tell you on the road, this time I led the team, and the other cavalry generals are almost all in the south. The last light cavalry of Longquan Pass was also more than 1,000 people who came back before, and many of them were disabled squads. Wang Rui pushed Zhou Zhe over in the room with a strong hand, and tied the sturdy armor to Zhou Zhe's body, which was received when he reported Zhou Zhe and Lin Xiaoer's military registration during the day, Lin Xiaoer was relatively fat, and finally Liu Dabeard asked for two small round shields as heart guards, one after the other, like a turtle shell. Zhou Zhe, who was dressed, felt the moisture of the heavy rain when he walked out of the door, but fortunately, almost all the ground in Longquan Pass was bluestone roads, except for some slippery everything. Doused by the night rain

Zhou Zhe, who woke up, instantly realized the crisis that such a heavy rain might bring. It is no longer possible for the cavalry to calmly carry out the battle sequence in such muddy ground, the speed will be greatly limited, and more seriously, it is difficult to say how powerful the rain-soaked bowstrings and crossbow machines can be. If the crossbow is restricted, even if the number of people becomes more than 1,000, there is no chance of winning hand-to-hand combat with the same number of wolf riders. Because he had seen the strength of the wolf cavalry in their individual strength, not to mention that the muddy ground could limit the horse's hooves, but those giant wolves could not necessarily be restricted, and this possibility could not be pinned on slim luck. Zhou Zhe wiped the rain and shouted at Wang Rui

"Wang Rui, how many of us are there, and where can we get grease or oiled paper?"

"What? General Qu ordered me to rush out of the customs in half an hour. It's still half the time. Wang Rui didn't know why.

"Take me to General Qu, quick!" Zhou Zhe roared, Wang Rui did not hesitate, and directly ordered Liu Dabeard to preside over the assembly, and took Zhou Zhe to the Shuai Mansion in a hurry.

The entire marshal's mansion was brightly lit, Qu Hui was a little anxious to dodge, and the third prince Li You also drooped his head. After reporting the name of the visitor, Qu Hui asked slightly angrily

"Wang Rui, if you don't go to gather troops, what's the matter here?"

"General Qiyu Qu, I asked Wang Baihu to bring me here, there is urgent military affairs. Zhou Zhe responded with a fist.

"Do you have any urgent military affairs, I cut you down if it's not important?" Qu Hui was very irritable.

"Tonight's gallop to our aid must be related to the heavy rain, no matter who gallops to help, we must have the strength to fight, the heavy rain is majestic, and the bowstrings are all soaked in the bowstrings without marching for a few miles. If the sergeants only use knives and axes to chisel, even if the cavalry battalion is fully formed, most of the combat strength will be lost. That's why I'm here to ask for help. ”

"This is also something that can't be helped, the arrow has to be sent, and I can't help it if you come here to ask for help. Qu Hui was a little helpless in addition to being irritable, the sudden heavy rain had all his optimistic assumptions gone, and now his master, who was also a handsome heavy horseman, must be trapped in the rain, and he was in turmoil. Li You on the side is also concerned about Dashuai and his sister, with the same helpless and anxious face.

"It may take some time to ask the general for two things, grease and oiled paper, but if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapons, and I hope that the general can open up his arsenal and equip each cavalryman with at least two crossbows. Zhou Zhe let go of the asking for something, he didn't want to use the hammer with both hands to knock on the wolf rider again. Qu Hui's eyes lit up after hearing this, why didn't he expect the old method of chaos just now. Just wondered:

"Well, there's grease and oiled paper, but what do you want so many crossbows for?"

"We have assembled more than a thousand cavalry in total, and there is no strong firepower enough to suppress too many enemies, and if we encounter friendly troops, we will give them half of the crossbow, which is equivalent to a twofold increase in our suppression power. Qu Hui's eyes lit up, and Li You on the side also had sparkling eyes.

"Well, I promise you, in addition to the two cavalry crossbows for each man, you will also be given a part of the horses that you can bring, and all of them will be equipped with cavalry crossbows. Then he shouted out the door and the herald gave the order.

The cavalry moved very quickly and quickly left with the help of the logistics battalion. In fact, many people know this method, the sergeants only know how to obey, and Qu Hui didn't realize it for a while when he was upset. In the logistics battalion, Zhou Zhe also met the officer with a mole and long hair on his face, and after saying that Lin Xiaoer was also in the team, although the appearance was a little stumbling, but he was an out-and-out good person, he just sighed, "Alas! What a sin!" Then he stopped buckling the rope, ordered the auxiliary soldiers to help carry the weapon, and found a larger helmet for Lin Xiaoer, but with the two heart goggles in front and back, no matter how you look at it, there is no sense of disobedience.

In this way, in addition to the cavalry of more than 1,000 people, each with two cavalry crossbows, the pack horses that followed were also full of cavalry crossbows and crossbow arrows, wrapped in oiled paper, and greased on the outside

Smeared. Although the time limit of half an hour was exceeded, it finally went out of the customs in the middle of the night in the pouring rain.
