At about six o'clock, Li Bochen ordered his generals and led twenty people to the edge of the enchantment.

At this time, the sky was almost completely dark, and the two large camps of the Xuansu army on the field were lit up with fire, which was very conspicuous. According to the Sui military book, the commander of the battalion had already made people cut down wood to build a wall, and dug a trench outside the wooden wall. The earth and stones obtained were tamped inside the walls, and horses were set up outside the trenches. There were two layers of patrolmen outside the horses, and the hundred paces and the like were lit with torches. In the middle of the wall, four arrow towers were erected, and there were crossbowmen on the upper floors.

There should be five hundred men in each battalion. Excluding the patrols on the periphery, open and dark sentinels, there should be nearly 400 defenders in each battalion. The two camps were about four miles apart, and it took the Rangers about a quarter of an hour to cross the distance. Li Bochen saw that a blue flag was erected in the nearest battalion, and there was also a black flag on the side, which meant that the commander of the battalion in charge of 500 people temporarily served as the chief general of this army of 1,000 people and acted as the commander of the army.

He said in a deep voice: "Everyone, if you start a war for a while, you must not act rashly without my command. ”

In the darkness, everyone whispered.

He said again: "Brother Sui, please open the enchantment for me." ”

Sui Buxiu also wore armor at this time, and he was the most powerful among the cadres. But at this time, he only said: "Okay." ”

Then he secretly recited mantras and pinched his fingerprints. After a moment's pause, he said, "Twenty steps ahead, the barrier has been opened." When you come back, I'll seal it again. ”

Li Bochen nodded and looked towards the entrance of the secret realm in the valley.

For a while, there was silence in the field, and it seemed that even the wind did not dare to make noise.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, there was still no movement there. Li Bochen was a little anxious, but he still kept a straight face, only grasping the hilt of the knife. Chang Qiuwu suddenly whispered: "Junhou, I have something to say. ”

Li Bochen stared into the distance and said, "If it's not something important, I'll talk about it later." ”

Chang Qiuwu hesitated for a moment, but still said, "In the Xuanwu military camp—"

Li Bochen suddenly raised his hand and said, "Look there—look there!"

Everyone looked towards the valley mouth, but it was darkness. After a while, I slowly discerned some shaking figures, and after two or three breaths, I could vaguely see the reflection of some iron tools. Then I listened to the roars, footsteps, and hooves of horses.

A black line began to advance from the valley mouth to the camp, and after seven or eight breaths, I saw countless soldiers rushing all the way to the camp of the Xuansu army, and the roar shook the sky.

Li Bochen's face did not change, and the soldiers behind him were startled. Ten generals Zhao Bo couldn't help but say: "How many people are this!Prince, didn't you say that Zhu Hou only had about 200 people?"

Li Bochen smiled in his heart, but only said: "Looking at the formation, this is just more than a hundred people." ”

He said in his heart: "There are still two or three hundred monsters." ”

Zhao Bo stopped talking. I probably didn't expect a hundred people to look so many. They just said that they can be ten with one, but now they should weigh and weigh ten people standing in front of these hundred people, whether they will be afraid.

The soldiers galloped into the camp of Xuansu, and some could be seen on horseback, while others were only on foot. At first, it was still a line, but gradually it became a piece, and then it was divided into successions. Then, some of the people who were left behind began to be pounced on by the monsters, and the human voices were gradually drowned out by the roars of the beasts.

They were still far away from them, but they could already smell the slightest smell of blood in the wind, and even hear the rumbling of the land in the distance. No one spoke for a while, but Li Bochen said, "Look at it." There are monsters in the Thundercloud Cave Heavenly Secret Realm where Zhu Hou is hiding, and now Zhu Hou has sent some people to lure those monsters to the camp. ”

He turned his face to look at the soldiers behind him, and saw that some of them had turned pale.

Then he said: "I've seen those monsters, and they don't run very fast. From the mouth of the valley to the big camp, about two miles. Ordinary people wear armor and wield knives, and it will take a quarter of an hour at most. ”

"But now those who were knocked down by the monsters in the back were probably because they were afraid, and they had no strength in their legs and feet. ”

At this point, the screams of the people before they died became clearer. He listened for a moment and said, "Actually, it's nothing. If the monsters on the northern plains rush over, you will feel that your feet are shaking and your ears are full of thunder. Before he was bitten to death, he was trampled to death. ”

At this time, there were only about sixty or seventy of Zhu Hou's hundred or so people left, more than thirty were cavalrymen, and more than forty were sturdy soldiers, all of whom were running wildly without their lives, but they were only two or three hundred steps away from the Xuansu army camp.

Li Bochen turned his face to look at Zhao Bo again, and saw that he had his mouth closed tightly, and his eyes did not blink. Then he said: "General Zhao, tell me, can the soldiers in the big camp stop those monsters?"

After a long while, Zhao Bo said, "I'm afraid it's ...... Unstoppable. ”

At this time, all the monsters in the valley have probably been lured out. I saw a boundless black shadow on the field, extremely fast and flexible, and the momentum was terrifying. Li Bochen smiled: "That's good." ”

When Zhu Hou's people approached the camp a hundred paces, they listened to them shouting. Ordinary people can't hear clearly, but Li Bochen can hear it a little more clearly - some people shout "let me in" and "help".

But the gate of the camp was closed, and when they came within a hundred paces, they were greeted by a rain of arrows. Seven or eight of the thirty or so riders in front of them fell down, and the rest of the men hurriedly reined in their horses, as if they did not know whether to continue to rush forward or run to both sides.

Li Bochen said: "If I were from the camp, I wouldn't send this wave of arrows." Anyway, these people can't rush into the camp gate, so it's better to leave the arrows to the demon beasts. ”

As he said this, another rain of arrows was shot from the camp. The cavalry hurriedly beat their horses and fled on both sides, and the footmen who followed saw that the situation was not good, and also parted on both sides.

But then the monster caught up. At this moment, there are torches set up by the Xuanwu army on the ground around them, and the appearance of those monsters is clearly illuminated - many of them are human figures like the old woman and the white tiger last night, and from a distance, they may just be a little weird. But the descendants of the monsters are very scary and look like ghosts.

He listened to the breathing of these soldiers behind him becoming a little short, and turned his face slightly to look at Chang Qiuwu and Fang Qi, and saw that his face was also a little awe-inspiring. However, Sui Buxiu was like him, looking calm and calm, and he was not panicked.

Li Bochen said in his heart, he is the same as I think now-what are these things compared to the demon beasts in the Northern Plains?

Some of the cavalry and infantry escaped, and some were killed by the monsters. Li Bochen counted ten times in his heart, and the third wave of arrows did not rain. It took five more counts before a piece came out.

He said, "Now the people in the camp must have seen these things, but they are also a little panicked - in fact, if you look closely, these things are more terrifying than the samurai who wear armor and wield swords and are bent on taking people's lives? ”

"So at this time, if you are afraid that you will die, you can only win by keeping your mind. ”

After a while, I heard a person say: "...... The prince said yes. ”

The monster rushed to the front of the horse. But they were more nimble than men, and with the exception of some who were squeezed up later, most of them bypassed, jumped over the trenches, and began to climb the wall. The wall was about four meters high, and when the first wave of monsters had just climbed halfway, they heard the rumbling drums in the camp.

One wave of crossbowmen poked over the wall and fired arrows, and the other immediately switched to downward fire, killing dozens of them on the spot. But the monsters climbed more and more, and a few pieces of wood nailed with iron thorns suddenly swung down from the wall, and they swept down again in an instant.

There was a slightly larger monster behind him who roared angrily when he saw the situation, and with a flick of his legs, he jumped up four or five meters high and landed on a piece of wood. The wood was swept by a few wrestlers grabbing the iron cable on the wall, and this time, it slowed down. As soon as the monster borrowed its strength, it jumped on the wall, and with a wave of his hands, it was a bloody light. The little demon who was climbing the wall behind it was empty, and suddenly jumped up five or six more times, taking up a place at the head of the wall.

At this time, I saw a general jumping up in the village, holding a spear. Volleyed left and right, and pierced the two little demons when he landed. When it landed and swept away, it slammed into the big demon, and the big demon was unstable and was beaten down all of a sudden.

The generals were surrounded by soldiers and killed the remaining demons.

The great demon fell to the ground, seemed to be very angry, and jumped up again. But before it could reach the top of the city, a dozen feathered arrows flew out of the wall, pierced it into a hedgehog, and fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Li Bochen said, "It's time to hold on." ”

He said this and glanced at Fang Qi. Fang Yu was stunned, and thought for a moment before saying, "General, why is this?"

Ha. He really knows his heart. Li Bochen said: "These things have no armor, no siege equipment, only rely on flesh and blood to rush up, if you want to take down the big camp, either ten times more, or, the people in the camp are messed up." ”

"But you see now, the town guards in the camp have dealt with it properly, and they have gradually stopped panicking, so these monsters have no chance of winning. After a little more delay, the soldiers in the battalion should be able to attack and sweep away the remnants of the enemy. Ladies and gentlemen, do you want you to be like them when you are in the camp at this time?"

No one spoke for a while, and Li Bochen said: "Many of the town soldiers in this battalion were recruited locally. If you want to talk about force and courage, I am afraid that it may not be comparable to you. Maybe it's because of the usual training. Many of you have walked the rivers and lakes, and you should have seen the bloody wind and rain. But how are those 'bloody storms' compared to the scene in front of them?"

—This is just a few hundred-man troops guarding the camp. ”

After a moment of silence, Zhao Bo said: "Junhou, we all know. You shouldn't boast before. ”

Li Bochen smiled in his heart and stopped talking.

At this time, most of the monsters surrounded and spread along the wall. There were only two or three hundred, and there were some dead and wounded, but now that they were scattered, the pressure on the defenders inside the wall suddenly decreased. The drums in the village rumbled, and the monsters were killed and injured again, and some of them began to retreat in all directions. By this time, the defenders had probably only killed or wounded a dozen or so.

After another quarter of an hour, the monsters saw that the attack could not be achieved, and some jumped on the ground to eat the corpses of their kind, while others were humanoids and began to run backwards.

At this moment, I heard the sound of the drum and changed again, and the door on one side of the wall opened with a bang. The nearby monster was about to rush in, and was immediately swept down by four net-headed iron arrows shot by the crossbow from the bed. They didn't have much fighting spirit, and when they saw this scene, they scattered one after another.

I listened to the sound of the command - the Sui army formed a formation, with the sword and shield hands in front, the pikemen in the center, and the crossbowmen in the back, forming a team of 100 people and pressing out.

Some monsters still didn't give up when they saw people, and threw themselves into the formation, but the sword and shield raised their shields to block it, and then the swords and guns came out together, and they were immediately killed. Rao was a few humanoids, and he could only overturn the first row, and then he was picked up by several spears and thrown aside.

When the hundred-man team was out of the camp, they divided into ten ten-man teams and each covered up and killed. Then fifty elite horsemen rushed out, and they were also divided into five teams of ten, interspersed back and forth to kill the fleeing monsters.

The soldiers behind Li Bochen looked at them with straight eyes, but he wondered a little in his heart: Is the town army of Xuansu City so strong? Looking at this combat strength, military discipline, and morale, it seems that it is not much more reckless than the border army.

At this time, Chang Qiuwu said: "Junhou, when are we going to get the car?"

When he saw the situation in front of him, he realized that those monsters were about to be killed and retreated. In fact, this situation was also beyond Li Bochen's expectations - according to his original assumption, the Sui army should have panicked for a while, suffered more casualties, and even briefly attacked the camp, and then recaptured the wall and then attacked and pursued. But at the moment, the soldiers in this battalion are ridiculously strong, and Li Bochen even saw that there were two ten generals who used Lei Fa - there is such a cultivation, but only ten generals are in this town army?

His heart moved, and he couldn't help but say, "Fengzhi, what did you want to say to me before?"

Chang Qiuwu was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "I mean to say, there are ...... in this camp There is Wei Zongshan. Wei Zongshan is a rebel general of our army, he was the commander of the capital before, and now he is the commander of the Sui army. ”

"He's a spiritual realm. ”

Li Bochen's heart sank -- no wonder! Then there are more than 500 soldiers in this battalion. The commander who led 10,000 troops was a battalion of 500 people in the pro-soldier class! The good hand he saw was only afraid that it was the elite brought by Wei Zongshan!

He couldn't help frowning and said, "Why didn't you tell me before!?"

Chang Qiuwu looked left and right, thought about it and thought about it, and then said, "Junhou, I'...... I also found out at night...... I forgot to mention it before. ”

Li Bochen's heart sank, gritted his teeth, and said secretly, Chang Fengzhi, you didn't say it before, why bother to say it now!

But he could only take a deep breath and say, "Okay." I know. ”

When Chang Qiuwu heard his words, he seemed a little at a loss, and only said: "Junhou, I was originally ......"

But Li Bochen said: "The armies obey the order!"

The crowd behind him: "Yes!"

"Go with me!"

When he had said this, he strode out, but did not hear the footsteps of others. He took another step before he heard Fang Cangchang draw his saber and shouted: "Follow the prince forward!

More than a dozen people moved. Li Bochen walked dozens of steps in the night, and a small monster suddenly jumped up in the grass, he didn't even look at it, drew his knife and waved, and split it in half.

When he was more than 100 steps away from the pursuing Sui army and would be noticed any further, he stopped and said, "Stop!"

"You're right here - if you want monsters, don't kill them. If there is a large Sui army, it will be concealed and retreated. ”

He whispered again: "Fengzhi, protect the Dharma for me." ”

Chang Qiuwu followed him, his face was ugly. But when he heard this, he was stunned and immediately said, "Yes...... Obey!"

Li Bochen sat cross-legged on the ground, out of his body.

Chang Xiu did a pickled matter, but he couldn't retreat today. Originally, I expected Zhu Hou to turn the tide of the battle for the time being, but now that I look at it, I have to give him more energy!
