Chapter 119: The Iron Scroll of the Book of Dan
That Hao Dart Head may be very experienced in dealing with robbers and robbers who cut the path and rob. But now against the barbarian army's servant beast troops, it seems a little panicked.
Because the Barbarian servant beast troops attack in a very different way from the troops composed of ordinary soldiers, they rely on the natural instinct of beasts to attack extremely fast, and they are very agile and alert. Fighting with this kind of barbarian soldiers and servant beasts and attacking together, the danger and pressure they are under cannot be said in the same way as ordinary bandits.
Therefore, before Hao Darttou began to fight with the barbarians, he was already sweating profusely.
He saw that Lu Zhan's expression was calm, his eyes were clear, and he was the calmest existence among all the people at present, so he stepped forward and politely clenched his fists and asked: "May I ask if this little brother Lu has any good way to deal with the barbarian raid?"
LΓΌ Zhan said, "If there are fierce beasts in the ranks of the barbarians, it is easy to startle your horse team. When the horses are frightened, they will run wildly, and then the defensive formation will be chaotic without a fight, and it will be impossible to control it at all, and in my opinion, the best way to deal with them is to use the 'square circle array'. β
"'Fang Yuan Array'?" Although Hao Dangtou had never led soldiers, he quickly understood as soon as he heard this easy-to-understand name, "Brother Lu, do you mean to circle the convoy?"
"Yes, remember to put the horse's head inwards and the body facing the outward in a circle, so that the common people can gather in the circle, among which the young and middle-aged guys can fight, and the women, children and old people stay in the center of the formation. Also, blindfold the horses so that they can be less frightened by seeing a beast or being injured. Lu Zhan said eloquently: "In addition, there are only fifteen trucks in your Gale Dart Bureau, and the formation circle is very small, so the carriage and the horse workshop should not be too close, the gap between the car and the workshop can be lit with a bonfire, and a bonfire should also be lit on the periphery of the formation, the more fires you can light the better, the beasts are afraid of fire, even if those conscripts and beasts are strictly trained, they can't change the natural fear of fire." β
Hao Dangtou gave Lu Zhan a thumbs up: "Brother Lu's idea is very good, I'll go and let them form a formation to defend." After speaking, he and several dart masters began to arrange the formation according to what Lu Zhan said.
The panicked son-in-law had recovered from his panic, and he greeted Lu Zhan and said, "This brother is not afraid of danger, what a good bearing." In Xia Zhen Suishu, he is the eldest son of the Zhen Mansion in Linqing City, and he is exactly twenty years old this year, and it is time to explore the rivers and lakes. He pointed to the other two young men who had fled with him and said, "They are my entourage Zhen Awu and Zhen Aqi.
Lu Zhan nodded at him, and just wanted to speak, Xi Liuzi next to him interjected: "It turns out that you are from the Zhen Mansion of Linqing City, you have really admired it for a long time, our leader is Lu Zhan of the Lu Mansion of Yunmeng City, and we are all families with hereditary marquis titles that were sealed when the country was founded." β
Linqing City is on the southwest side of Yunmeng City, and it is the county seat under the jurisdiction of Hongzhou. The difference is that he is a descendant of a family, while Lu Zhan is just a distant relative of a trivial matter.
"Oh, you are the famous war prince of Lu Mansion. Although he had never heard of the name of this young man surnamed Lu, he still pretended to look up for a long time out of politeness, and nodded again and again and said: "Long Yang Wow, I have long heard of the name of Zhan Gongzi." β
When Xi Liuzi heard this, he didn't know if it was false, but asked him excitedly: "How can the name of our leader reach far away in the Qing City? Then Zhen Gongzi doesn't know if your Zhen Mansion is also like the Nayan Mansion in Yunmeng City, and all the people in the Mansion are not our leader's opponents, and I don't know if the leader's lion tooth cracked empty palm is stronger, or if the legendary Danshu Iron Scroll in your Zhen Mansion is stronger?"
"Sixth son, how can you talk to Zhen Gongzi like this. It's rude. Lu Zhan waved his hand to drive Xi Liuzi aside, and said to Zhen Suishu: "In Xia Lu Zhan, he is seventeen years old this year, a person from Yunmeng City, and he is my eldest follower Xi Liuzi. β
Xi Liuzi over there couldn't be idle, and seeing that Hao Darttou had already set up the "barrel array" according to Lu Zhan's requirements, he asked Zhen Suishu casually: "I don't know if Zhen Gongzi is going to continue to flee next?" Or stay here to fight with us against the barbarian generals?"
Zhen Suishu's face turned red when he said it, knowing that this guy was not holding his mouth, it was better to talk to him less, so he turned his face to Lu Zhan and explained: "Actually, according to my strength, I am not afraid of those southern barbarians. It's just that I'm a man who loves cleanliness, and what I'm most afraid of is those fluffy things, and I've heard that the Nanban loves to play with insects, and they will sprinkle a handful of strange insects on you at every turn, making your whole body itch, all red and swollen in small packets, and the taste is worse than death -- I think I've suffered such a big loss before. So, when I see these barbarian bad guys, I can avoid them as far as I can. But now it's different, there are so many ordinary people here, if I turn around and leave them slaughtered by barbarian savages, it will be no different from beasts, and it is not the bearing that I should have as a scholar. So I decided to stay and join forces with Brother Lu to fight the stubborn enemy. β
"It's for the best. Lu Zhan nodded in approval, and his heart had a great change in his heart about this young man who was a little nervous at first glance and was not very reliable: "I don't know how many barbarian soldiers came, but I heard that the barbarians are extremely ferocious, burning, killing and looting everything, and they also feed the corpses to the various war beasts they raise. β
At this time, Hao Darthead had already set up a "barrel array", and I saw him standing on the roof of a carriage, beckoning to Lu Zhan and the others: "Ladies and gentlemen, quickly enter the formation, the barbarians' troops have already come over!"
Lu Zhan and Zhen Suishu looked at each other and smiled, quite proud, regarded the strong enemy as a mustard, and walked into the "barrel array" side by side, Xi Liuzi and Zhen Suishu's two entourages Ah Wu and Ah Qi also drew their respective blades, and then ran into the "barrel array" array.
I saw that this "barrel array" was enclosed in a large circle of eight zhang and square, and piles of bonfires were lit between the carriages and carriages. Several bonfires were also burning around the perimeter of the "barrel array", and because of the oil poured on the bonfires, the fire jumped to the top of the fire, and the raging fire stained half of the valley red.
More than 100 executioners and dart masters crouched around the carriage, while those with bows and crossbows climbed on top of the carriage, and the crowd bent their bows and arrows and watched the other end of the valley with bated breath.
The valley, which had been noisy and noisy, suddenly fell silent.
The red fire reflected the valley, and at a distance of about thirty or forty zhang from them, there were faintly more than a dozen huge warrior wolf figures, and there were two leopards with colorful fur in between, only to see that the eyes, necks, waists and abdomen of those warrior wolves and leopards were covered with metal armor, and on the top of their heads, they also wore special battle helmets with sharp horns, and they crouched there quietly, looking coldly at the group of people gathered in the firelight.
This pack of wolves, leopards is obviously very rigorously trained. Without receiving an order, they just stared at their prey, but did not attack rashly, and it seemed that they were waiting for their master's orders.
Lu Zhan knew that the next hand-to-hand battle would be extremely tragic, in order to reduce the damage of those servant beasts to ordinary people, so he deliberately chose a carriage placed at the front, facing the enemy, as his battle position, and this position was just next to the car where Hao Darthead was.
Hao Darttou saw Lu Zhan coming to his side and smiled at him gratefully. This kind of crisis moment can best be seen, who is the high-spirited man who really helps himself.
That Zhen Suishu was originally hiding behind the "barrel array", but when he saw Lu Zhan walking forward, he hesitated for a while, but finally gritted his teeth and ran to Lu Zhan's side.
Lu Zhan heard Zhen Suishu's footsteps, he glanced back at him, only to see that he was holding a crimson scroll that looked like an ancient scroll in his hand. I couldn't help frowning, I don't know what he was going to do with this old book? At such a critical moment, and with an ancient book in his arms, could he win the battle and save his life? Is this guy stupid in his head and reading and has a problem?
Zhen Suishu saw Lu Zhanzhi frowning at the scroll in his arms, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Brother Lu, don't underestimate my scroll, it's not an ordinary ancient book. As the old saying goes: there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book. There is also a saying that is not mentioned, that is, 'the book has its own murder weapon'. This scroll of mine has a very beautiful name, called 'Danshu Iron Scroll', and it is actually a very unique Qimen blade. The blade surface is made of thirty-six iron bars of blood meteorite iron that have been tempered and refined, and are spliced with celestial silk in the shape of ancient books. On the surface, it looked like a scroll, but it was actually a ninth-level top-level blade with all kinds of wonderful uses. β
Lu Zhan smiled noncommittally, thinking that this Zhen Mansion was probably a scholarly sect for a long time, and even the casting weapons had to be so bookish.
At this moment, the more than ten wolf warriors who had been squatting on the ground suddenly had a bright light in their eyes, stood up, raised their heads, stretched their necks, and let out a burst of "whine" piercing wolf howls.
"Barbarians, they're coming!" Lu Zhan whispered to Zhen Suishu and Hao Dangtou next to him, thanks to the help of the crystal space in his body, his sensing ability was extremely strong, and he was now the first to hear the sound of someone stepping on grass two hundred steps away.
It was clear that the other party had been stealthily approaching the area between the woods and bushes on both sides of the valley, and had not used torches or other lighting objects. Therefore, as far as their eyes could see, they could not detect the trace of the enemy at all.
