Chapter 838: The Northern Regions (8)

A thick black wolf smoke shot straight into the sky, standing out under the clear sky, and could be seen from a long distance.

All of the forts have beacon towers with flues that can be used to burn paper or dried dung of livestock at the bottom of the towers, and the smoke will rush into the sky to warn other places.

The snowfields in the northern region are vast and flat, so the Wuyue City side must be able to see the wolf smoke rising from the Shihe Fort.

However, Wei Changfeng was skeptical about the arrival of reinforcements.

Because at this moment, he was standing on the top of the tower, looking at the surrounding scene, and saw three identical wolf smoke rising from different directions in the distance, from the same dock fort as Shihe Fort.

The barbarians and the Demon Gate had apparently used the various dock forts as traps to trap the people of Wuyue who came to investigate!

If we extrapolate further, it is very likely that they used the idea of encircling the point to send reinforcements, besieging the besieged Wubao without attacking it, and specially ambushed the reinforcements from Wuyue City.

The barbarians don't have such a mind, and there are shrewd and cunning people in the Demon Gate!

But even if they know the enemy's conspiracy, Wei Changfeng and the first squad have nothing to do, everything they can do has already been done, and the result really depends on luck, if the reinforcements don't arrive for a long time, then they can only find ways to break out.

Thinking about it from another angle, maybe the Wuyue Sect had already anticipated this possibility and used them as bait

Wei Changfeng shook his head and expelled these troublesome thoughts from his mind.

In the war between the Wuyue Sect and the Demon Barbarians, no matter how high his talent was, he was just a small chess piece.

Of course, Wei Changfeng doesn't like to be treated as a chess piece, but if he wants to become a chess player, his strength is still too far behind.

To put it mildly, even the Avatar Grandmaster will have times when he can't help himself. Not to mention the small congenital, I am afraid that only by achieving the great master of the step void can he transcend the outside of things and pursue the path of the supreme heavenly path!

The road that Wei Changfeng has to walk is still long, long, and the road is full of thorns and bumps.

But his martial arts heart. Get more and more determined!

Jumping off the beacon tower, Wei Changfeng returned to the city gate with Xiao Shengjie.

Tong Chang was sticking to the gate of the city, and there were less than ten arrows left in the quiver that Wei Changfeng lent to the other party.

Seeing Wei Changfeng coming up, Tong Chang immediately smiled, waved the ink feather bow in his hand and said to him: "Senior Brother Wei, this bow of yours is so easy to use, I shot five barbarian cubs who sneaked over!"

Wei Changfeng laughed and gave a thumbs up to the other party.

Although he was a little reluctant, Tong Chang still returned the ink feather bow to Wei Changfeng.

Wei Changfeng did not have the idea of cutting love. This longbow has been with him for a long time, and although it is not a superb spirit soldier, it has also helped him solve a lot of enemies.

Winter nights come very quickly, and as night falls, it quickly darkens.

When the stars began to shine in the sky, bonfires were lit on the walls.

Gao Gang brought all the people back.

They searched most of the fort and made sure that there were no remnants left to hide.

It's just that this doesn't help to solve the current dilemma.

A howling cold wind swept over the fort, causing the bonfire to flicker and flicker.

Although there are many empty houses inside this castle, they can withstand the cold wind. However, in order to be able to deter the unscrupulous barbarians outside, Gao Gang still decided to let all the members of the first team stay on the city wall to ensure safety.

Xiao Shengjie kept adding firewood to the bonfire. Make the fire more intense.

He used to be a descendant of the family and a genius, where did he ever do such a subordinate job.

But here, everyone is the same, and they have to learn to do all the dirty work they are assigned!

Everyone gathered around the bonfire, although as a congenital powerhouse, he could already be fearless of the cold and heat. However, it is still comforting to be able to sit in front of a warm fire in the cold of a night.

Not to mention that on the bonfire, a large pot of broth was boiling.

The pots and pans were found from the kitchens of nearby people, and water from the wells was boiled over a high fire, and then shredded jerky and spices were added. After a while, a strong smell of meat wafted through the air.

Wei Changfeng took out a jar of wine from the Sumeru ring, slapped open the mud seal and let everyone share it.

Chen Ke was very envious and asked, "Senior Brother Wei, this Sumeru ring of yours is a family heirloom, right? I heard that my family has also had one before, but unfortunately it has been given as a gift a long time ago." ”

The Sumeru ring is an ancient treasure, and there are not many that have survived in the world today, and its value is immeasurable.

Wei Changfeng didn't hide the Sumeru ring he was wearing, which made others look very hot.

This kind of treasure is really hard to find, even if it is in the family, it is not their turn to use it.

Of course, everyone doesn't have any covetousness, it's just envy.

Because of the strength shown by Wei Changfeng, he deservedly became the number two person in the first squad, even if he had any careful thoughts, which one would dare to show it?

Wei Changfeng smiled and said, "Sort of." ”

In the past, he was very careful with the use of the Sumeru Ring so as not to attract the coveting of powerful enemies.

However, now he is already a congenital mid-level powerhouse, and his strength cultivation is not weaker than any of his peers, unless he encounters a god-level person, no one is afraid, and naturally he doesn't have to hide it all the time.

If you want to rob it, you have to die first!

The jerky in the pot was almost cooked, and everyone scooped a bowl of it, and they ate delicious dry food.

After a simple dinner, Gao Gang looked at the sparkling fires in the field in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "We will stay here at night, if the reinforcements do not come tomorrow, then find a way to break through on our own!"

In the absence of reinforcements, it is undoubtedly very dangerous to break out on your own, but it is better than sitting still.

Woo~

As soon as he finished speaking, a horn suddenly sounded in the barbarian camp half a mile away.

A cavalry army of hundreds of wolf riders rushed out of the camp and headed straight for the gates of Dockfort.

A night attack by the barbarians?

Gao Gang couldn't help but be surprised, but still ordered: "Prepare for battle!"

Everyone immediately dispersed on the ramparts, drew their weapons, and the enemy was so menacing that it was unlikely that they would just turn around in front and leave, and perhaps a fierce battle would break out.

The barbarian wolf rode extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was close to a hundred paces away from the city wall.

"Shoot!"

With a low roar, the barbarian warriors who rushed to the front raised their crossbows in their hands and buckled their brackets towards the first squad guarding the city wall, their movements neat and well-trained.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Dozens of crossbow arrows were shot at the city wall in an instant!
