Under Lu Zhan's loud reminder, Hao Dart raised his body high, raised his neck and whispered to the people around him: "Everyone, pay attention, the barbarians are rushing over." ”

At this moment, Lu Zhan grabbed Hao Dart's collar and pulled him backwards, only to see a black short crossbow arrow "whoosh" against the tip of his nose, just a little bit close, and shot through his neck.

"The dog said, he didn't even say hello and engaged in a sneak attack. Hao dart cursed in a low voice, and he fell on the roof of the car and broke out in a cold sweat.

"These guys are really fast. Lu Zhan frowned: "In the blink of an eye, he ran a distance of nearly a hundred steps, could it be that there are also masters of the Qi Condensation Realm among these barbarians?

"It doesn't have to be human. Zhen Suishu next to him whispered: "Although I haven't fought with the barbarians, but I have read a lot of historical materials about the barbarians, it is said that the Southern Barbarians not only have first-class skills in controlling beasts, but also have a unique skill in controlling birds, I heard that they can train eagles, owls or geese and other big birds to become their air launchers, that is, tie bows and crossbows or poisonous needle jets to those birds, and then let them attack from the air, the power is absolutely terrifying, and it is impossible to prevent it." ”

So saying, he looked up at the night sky, pointed to the sky, and said, "Have you seen it, isn't there just the movement of an owl? ”

Lu Zhan and Hao Dangtou looked up at the night sky, only to see a little black shadow soaring above their heads under the bright starry sky, no, not just one point, but two or three points...... If you look closely, not only in the sky, but also on the branches of the big trees next to you, there are several, all of them are blue-eyed eagle-beaked gray-spotted night owls!

"You can't tell the truth. What a crow's mouth. Hao Dart wiped his cold sweat: "According to what I heard in the secret workshop of Hongzhou City, if each of these evil birds is tied to the 'Nanban Bird Crossbow', this kind of combat power alone is quite impressive. We have to guard against the soldiers and beasts on the ground, and we also have to guard against the 'Nanban Bird Crossbow' in the sky, but we are afraid that we will have to look at each other and be in a hurry. ”

Zhen Suishu glanced at him and said to himself: "Tie the 'Southern Barbarian Bird Crossbow' to the birds, it is still the simplest tactic in the barbarian bird control technique, in the barbarian bird control technique, it is said that some birds will be poisoned, some birds will set fire, some birds will detect the enemy, and even some birds will spread epidemics in a large area, that is the real terrible combat effectiveness." Fortunately, the barbarians only like to live in the mountains and deep forests, and they don't pay much attention to the outside world, let alone how ambitious they are, so the border has been peaceful and peaceful for so long, but recently they don't know what went wrong, and they have begun to invade our Great Chu Empire frequently. ”

Hao Darttou took over the conversation softly: "I heard from a well-informed person on the way to the dart that it is said that the supreme priest of the Barbarian Alliance Empire has just fallen to his death. A new young high priest took the throne, and the priest was aggressive, very strategic and ambitious, and as soon as he came to power, he advocated that the barbarians must go out of the mountains and live in a richer and fertile wilderness, and this proposition was echoed by many tribes, so the barbarians, who had always been very stable, were ready to move and attack and harass other countries. ”

Lu Zhan put his finger in front of his lips and "shhh ”

The two of them quickly shut up, turned their ears to listen, and only heard the sound of "whooshing" extending towards them in the valley ahead, and the speed of the sound was not fast. But it was heavy, like the sound of tree trunks being toppled down and bushes being trampled on.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and the warrior with keen hearing could even hear the sound of rough breathing and nostril breathing.

Hao Darttou was horrified when he heard this, and he swallowed hard: "What kind of big beast is that? ”

Zhen Suishu leaned close to Lu Zhan's ear: "Brother Lu, when I met those southern barbarians on the road just now, I also saw such a big movement in the woods behind me, so I turned around and fled in fright." There are too many evil things in the barbarian army, and if you can avoid them, you can avoid them, avoid evil, and protect yourself wisely, which is the original surname of our scholars. ”

"Then Brother Zhen, you don't want to dodge anymore?"

Zhen Suishu was upright and said, "Probably because I have a relationship with Brother Lu." Actually, I'm not the kind of timid person myself, but I often disdain to associate with the laity. But Brother Guan Lu is different, the first time I saw you, I felt that you were different, and you were a person with a surname who could make friends. ”

Lu Zhan felt a warm feeling in his heart for no reason, he was young and old, and he was rarely willing to take the initiative to get close to others. However, this Zhen Suishu seems to be very pedantic, and even feels that he acts perversely, a little neurotic, but his words are sincere, kind, and willing to stay and fight side by side with him in times of crisis to protect those people who have taken refuge. Although this son is also from a wealthy family, except for a little fuss, he does not have the arrogant and bad habits of the children of a family. At this point, it is worth making friends yourself.

At this moment, from the depths of the valley ahead, there was the sound of a wooden drum "dong dong", which was slow and rhythmic. As the drums sounded, in the thick darkness, a little bit of turquoise fluorescence suddenly lit up, and those rays of light gathered more and more, and slowly, the group of turquoise light spots approached the place illuminated by the bonfire, revealing the image of a steppe gray wolf with a huge body.

I saw that those gray wolves were all shining with blue eyes, shining with a bright cold light. He was as tall as a mule, with a strong body and strong limbs.

It also wears leather armor on its body, a sharp-horned helmet on its head, and a leather saddle on its back. On that saddle, there was a barbarian warrior wearing a ** upper body, covered with oil paint and tattoos, and holding a knife or spear spear.

"Oh, is this the wolf cavalry?" Zhen Suishu exclaimed in a low voice: "I heard that although the beast cavalry of the barbarians is not as fast as our Xuanjia cavalry in terms of speed, but the degree of flexibility and tyranny is much higher than that of ordinary war horses, so the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and it is better to see it than to see it. ”

Hao Dangtou glanced at him and said depressedly: "This kind of scene is really exciting, I don't know if I have to put my surname into it tonight." ”

The wolf cavalry slowly marched to the front of the "barrel array", and it seemed that the number of these wolf cavalry was not much, only more than twenty, but the people lying on the carriage did not dare to despise it at all, because although the number of the other party was small, the number of service beasts brought by them was large.

I saw that the wolf cavalry was followed by a large group of war wolves and war leopards, the number of war wolves was as many as hundreds, and there were more than a dozen war leopards.

These war wolves and war leopards are agile and extremely strong, generally a war wolf's combat power is equivalent to a warrior in the early stage of the Bone Forging Realm, and the combat power of a war leopard is equivalent to a warrior in the middle and late stages of the Bone Forging Realm.

Seeing the scene of so many beasts attacking, the dart masters and executioners couldn't help but tremble, their martial arts attainments were also in the realm of refining bodies, only a few dart masters could enter the bone forging realm, although the other party was a group of beasts, but the comprehensive combat power was far higher than theirs.

The thought that he would have to become a meal in the belly of these beasts after his death, not to mention how great the pressure in everyone's hearts was, and the ordinary people who were surrounded in the center of the "barrel array" were even more frightened and cried, and the scene suddenly showed signs of collapse.

However, those wolf cavalry did not immediately attack the "barrel array", but slowly dispersed, together with those wolf and leopard warriors, in a fan-shaped row, confronting the "barrel array", and the two sides maintained a distance of about twelve or thirteen zhang.

In the darkness of the valley, the drumming continued to beat and never stopped.

In this way, it made the people guarding the "barrel array" even more uneasy, I wonder what those barbarians are planning, and what kind of offensive will they launch next?

Xi Liuzi, who was in the car next to him, finally couldn't hold it back, and shouted through gritted teeth: "If you have the ability, you will rush over and fight with Lao Tzu for 300 rounds! In fact, he himself was covered in sweat, and he was shouting at the top of his throat just to relieve a little fear and anxiety in his heart.

Hao Darthead also showed a restless mood: "Grandma is a bear!"

He cursed loudly: "If these barbarians delay any longer, the bonfire we lit will be extinguished, and when the bonfire is extinguished, those damned beasts will be killed." Otherwise, we'll rush to fight with them now! ”

"Don't act rashly. Seeing this, Lu Zhan scolded Zhen Suishu and the others next to him and said, "I thought that the Southern Barbarians had never been fully civilized and didn't know any strategy and tactics. But when I saw the current battle, I knew that I was very wrong. It seems that the drummer hidden in the depths of the darkness is the commander of their group, and this commander obviously knows how to use the tactic of attacking the heart, and actually came up with this trick of not listening to the drum to deter the enemy, so that our people are already frightened before the war, and they want to achieve the purpose of reducing our combat effectiveness and thus reducing their own casualties. ”

"Well, probably these southern barbarians didn't expect that we were ready for battle, and they lined up such a tenacious defensive formation, if they wanted to attack head-on, they would definitely suffer heavy losses. So use this psychological tactic first. Take the heart first. Zhen Suishu nodded and agreed: "In the general art of war, the strong show their main strength and use military power to deter the weak enemy, for those who have not received special training, it can indeed have a good deterrent effect." And most of us are a rabble that lacks war cooperation, plus those civilians hiding behind, we are not opponents at all. Hmph! These barbarians are so hateful, they want us to collapse without a fight, and they will win. ”;
