There was no suspense about the outcome of the battle.

Lü Bu took the lead in the charge, and the remaining fifty tigers and leopards guarded Zhang An while slashing with their swords or shooting enemies with bows and crossbows that were not within Lü Bu's attack.

During this period, the old wizard changed several tones and released several different colors of spells to bless the barbarian, but unfortunately, before Zhang An could see what the spell did, the wizard who was too eye-catching was cut in two by Lu Bu with one blow.

As soon as the wizard died, the effect of the spell he released quickly dissipated, which could be regarded as indirectly accelerating the rout of the barbarians.

After the defeat of the enemy, Zhang An immediately rode his horse to the side of the dead wizard and picked up the wooden staff that had fallen in a pool of blood.

He took the stone from the staff and took it in his right hand.

The mark on his right hand became more and more hot, and the stone had a faint feeling of melting in Zhang An's palm.

Zhang An was slightly stunned, and changed his hand to hold the stone.

If the stone really melted in Zhang An's palm in front of everyone's eyes, Zhang An couldn't find a reasonable excuse to explain.

However, even in his left hand, Zhang An could still feel that there was a force lurking in the stone.

Before this force burst out, the flow of qi in Zhang An's body was accelerated by a few points, and the balance in Zhang An's body loomed into collapse.

Zhang An hurriedly found a small bag from the war horse and packed the stones.

After having a layer of isolation, the influence of the stone suddenly disappeared, and Zhang An couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Could it be that the wizard's ability to cast spells is because of this stone?" Zhang An carried the bag and thought to himself, "If I can find a way to draw out the power in the stone, can I also cast spells?"

Could it be that the way to trigger the power of the stone is the strange tone that the wizard makes?

In fact, Zhang An thought too much, that stone was just picked up by the wizard in the early years, and he also noticed the extraordinaryness of the stone, but he didn't know how to trigger the latent power of the stone, so he embedded it on his wooden staff.

The wizard's ability to cast spells still comes from himself.

Zhang An, who was a little distracted, didn't notice that Lu Bu had come to his side.

"What are you thinking?" Lu Bu snatched the small bag in Zhang An's hand, poured out the stone, and observed it curiously in his hand.

As soon as the stone was started, Lu Bu found that his qi was abnormal.

But he just put the stone back into the bag and threw it to Zhang An, "It seems to be a good thing, but I advise you, when you don't complete the qi induction into the body, it's best not to touch this thing, otherwise if something goes wrong, I'm afraid that a certain person won't be able to save you." ”

Zhang An took the bag and said, "I don't joke with my own life." ”

But what he thought in his heart was that as long as there was a chance to be alone, he would immediately take the stone and try it.

Lu Bu glanced at Zhang An, did not speak, and instead beckoned the tiger and leopard to ride to clean up the battlefield.

By the time the battlefield was cleaned, it was already completely dark.

However, no other reinforcements arrived.

Zhang An couldn't help but ask Lu Bu this question, and said worriedly, "General Cao, nothing will happen there, right?"

"Zihe is all right there, he should have set up camp in the village, and he will be able to eat when he rushes back. Lu Bu said lightly, "A certain person tells Zihe that there is no need to send another reinforcement, a certain person is enough." ”

How confident, how domineering.

However, after seeing Lu Bu destroy the city with one blow, Zhang An only sighed at the confidence and domineering that naturally flowed from Lu Bu's calmness, and did not doubt Lu Bu's words in the slightest.

When everyone rushed back to the border city, as Lu Bu said, the smoke curled in the camp, and the aroma of food went into everyone's noses along the wind.

After ordering the soldiers to return to the team, Lu Bu and Zhang An led their horses side by side, chatting while slowly walking towards the Chinese army's tent.

And the content of their conversation was exactly what happened to Zhang An twice running into the ambush of the wizard's hidden army.

"The last time I participated in the Northern Expedition to Wuhuan, although these wizards had some wonderful tricks, they couldn't hide the army. I don't know how many wizards can use this method, and how many armies can be hidden by a wizard. Lu Bu frowned and said, "There are not many generals in the army who can feel the difference and see through the obstacles, which is really a headache." ”

Zhang An carefully recalled the situation of the two ambushes before and after, and said, "As far as I can see, the number of enemies encountered these two times is about the same. ”

"Well, that's about 800 people. Lu Bu thoughtfully, "Such words will not pose much threat to the large force. ”

"Is it only 800 people?" Zhang An pouted, "I see that I am full of people on all sides, and I thought it was tens of thousands." ”

Lu Bu sneered, "How many battles have you only fought, can you have a certain eyesight?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Zhang An nodded perfunctorily.

Without waiting for Lu Bu to speak again, Zhang An said softly, "General Lu said something wrong just now. ”

"It's good to call a certain table word Fengxian. Lu Bu said, "Which sentence is wrong?"

"You are wrong when you say that it is not much of a threat. Zhang An narrowed his eyes and said, "It may not play much role during the day, but what if it is used for night attacks?"

"Night attack?" Lu Bu's face turned serious.

"If 800 people quietly touch the camp gate, and then break into the camp in one fell swoop, it may only cause a temporary riot for an elite like the tiger and leopard cavalry, but what if it is just an ordinary army?" Zhang An said, "The night is the most prone to camp roaring. ”

"Besides, who said that only one wizard can perform this kind of trick at a time?" Zhang An continued, "Not to mention, as long as five wizards join forces, they can hide four thousand cavalry and directly hit the middle army, so I think there is enough threat to the army during the day, right? Or wizards and powerful warriors join forces and sneak into the barracks at night to assassinate the generals, which is also very tricky." ”

"This is a problem, I want to tell Zihe, and quickly send a letter to the lord to warn. Lu Bu nodded in agreement with Zhang An's statement: "But it seems that a certain Hezi and these nights have to work harder, and he will keep vigil in person." ”

He glanced at Zhang An and said in surprise, "I really can't see it, Zhang An, you still know some tactics in the art of war." ”

Zhang An said with a reserved smile, "I understand a little, I understand a little." ”

As the old saying goes, if you are familiar with 300 Tang poems, you can't compose poems and chant them, and the large amount of information you read for the code words is not just decorations.

What's more, who wouldn't talk on paper?

The two continued to discuss how the army could prevent such a surprise attack, but after discussing for a long time, they finally did not come up with any good solution, only to strictly guard against this trick.

This made Lu Bu, who advocated attacking, very dissatisfied, but Lu Bu himself knew that a general like him had to be responsible for many things in wartime, and it was impossible to be specifically responsible for preventing sneak attacks.

What's more, if it is really a large army marching, the team can stretch for more than ten or even dozens of miles, and even Lu Bu cannot completely take care of it.

When they walked to the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Chun, who had already received the news, was standing outside the tent waiting for the two.

"I don't know what Feng Xian and Zhang An are discussing, it is so enthusiastic?" Cao Chun said with a smile, "Come on, come in, the meal is ready." ”

Zhang An glanced at Cao Chun curiously, and said in his heart, didn't the book write that the general should eat with the soldiers to win the hearts of the army?

This is what he thinks is wrong.

Lu Bu led the troops, always charging in front and retreating behind, his image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the army, and there is no need to use this method to win people's hearts.

As for Cao Chun, the tiger and leopard ride was almost brought out by him, where did he still use these small means.

After entering the big tent and the three of them sat down, Lu Bu told Cao Chun about his and Zhang An's discoveries and discussions while eating.

Cao Chun thought for a while and said, "When you set up camp, you can set up some traps around the camp to have a warning effect, and as for the march, I don't have any good way." I can only use the stupidest way to defend it. ”

Then Lu Bu and Cao Chun discussed what should happen next for the three thousand tiger and leopard riders.

Lu Bu thinks that as far as the current situation is concerned, the fall of all the cities in the northern passes is no longer something that their three thousand men and horses can stop, instead of running back and forth, it is better to simply kill the barbarians' territory directly, stir up a world there, and it is best to find the location of the barbarians' royal court, attack it, and force the barbarians to retreat.

Cao Chun also agreed with Lu Bu's statement, but what he meant was to go and see the places that were still holding on to the military newspaper first, in case something went wrong, the three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry plus Lu Bu and himself believed that they would be able to save some soldiers and civilians.

Lu Bu agreed with Cao Chun's statement without much thought, and the Jingguan erected by those barbarians today also cast a shadow on Lu Bu's heart.

Then the two discussed the issue of the two of them taking turns to keep vigil.

The final result was that Cao Chun inspected the first half of the night, and Lu Bu inspected the second half of the night, and changed every three days.

Then the two discussed these details.

By the time the two of them had discussed all the issues, they had run out of food.

Zhang An, who couldn't wait to go back to his tent to study the stones, hurriedly said goodbye.

Lu Bu sat in the big tent and didn't get up, it seemed that he still wanted to chat with Cao Chun.

Seeing Zhang An's farewell, Lu Bu said, "You go back to rest, and when you visit the night, you will be with you." ”

Zhang An happily agreed, left the big tent, and ran back to his tent with a smoke.

He sat on the bed and poured the stone from the bag onto his right hand.

The mark on the right hand began to heat up, and the stone gradually softened.

Zhang An was in a trance for a moment, he thought of what Lu Bu had said, if something went wrong, he couldn't save himself.

But soon Zhang An strengthened his determination.

Starve the cowardly, support the bold, horizontal and vertical is a life, afraid of a ball!

Under Zhang An's gaze, the stone softened little by little into a puddle of black dirt, and then slowly seeped into Zhang An's right hand.

A slight sound of "poof" sounded, and a small hole opened on Zhang An's body, and blood gushed down.

The circulation of qi in Zhang An's body became faster and faster, gradually exceeding the speed of Zhang An's self-healing.

He bit his lip and endured the pain of scraping bones and flesh caused by the frantic collision of qi in his body, and did not allow himself to make a sound.

When the stone completely disappeared into the palm of Zhang An's hand, the mark on his right hand became extremely clear and lifelike, as if it might fly out of the back of Zhang An's right hand at any time.

A picture came to Zhang An's mind.

It is no longer a glittering Zhou Tian star map, but a map-like picture scroll.

On the picture scroll, a little light appeared, and Zhang Anqiang counted it with spirit, and it was exactly thirty-five points of light.

"Looks like that's where the rest of the stone is. Zhang An thought with relief, "I really thought it was right, these stones are related to the mutation of this node, and the rest is to collect these stones and see what happens." ”

Zhang An, who was rejoicing in his discovery, found that the picture scroll in his mind gradually faded, and then a new pattern appeared.

The new motif is a naked figure of a human body, and the appearance of the person in the painting is faintly similar to Zhang An.

Thirty-six dots were marked on the man's body, and one of them lit up with a soft glow.

"It looks like these stones are still related to you?" Zhang An frowned.

At this moment, the human body map exploded, and a huge force erupted in Zhang An's brain.

Zhang An let out a muffled snort, fell heavily on the bed, and fainted.
