"This array is the Xuanwu Guard, which is said to have been created by the Shu Immortal Zhuge clan at the end of the Han Dynasty. ”

Seeing that there was no abnormality around, General Gao lowered his guard and replied after approaching.

"The front and back two roads are the head and tail of the basalt, and the other four are four-legged. The head and tail can be guarded front and back, and the four legs are in an offset position, which can gallop to the middle. No matter where the enemy attack comes from, the six guards can rush to each other's aid. ”

"How many soldiers and horses can you resist?" Sima asked, nodding his head and asking.

"Defend against twice as many enemy forces without worrying about being breached. Even if three or four times the enemy attacked, it could withstand for a few moments and wait for reinforcements. General Gao responded.

"If ten times the enemy army is attacking, how should we dispatch it?" asked Sima Zhi again.

"This..."

After General Gao heard this, he was speechless.

His Highness smiled. Don't say that when ten times or seven or eight times the enemy army attacked, although this formation would not collapse at the touch of it, it would not be able to resist for long. At that time, the imperial court quelled the rebellion, which was to use several times the soldiers and horses to rush into battle to win. ”

"Ten times more. ”

After Sima asked, he sighed and responded.

"If Liu Yuruo really wants to kill me, it is a hundred times more possible to hunt down our soldiers and horses. Three or four times can be fought hard, ten times can be fought to the death, and a hundred times a thousand times, it is better to be caught and wait for the attack. ”

"What does Your Highness mean?" After hearing this, General Gao noticed that there was something unusual in his words.

"Chasing and killing all the way is just a game for Liu Yu to humiliate me. When he gets tired, shoot with all his might, and you and I have nowhere to escape. Sima asked.

"Even if you can reach the border of the Jin Kingdom, it is the most heavily guarded, and there is no possibility of rushing over. The boy waited here for his pursuers, and even if he was captured, he didn't want to be driven away and humiliated by him. After replying, he spoke again and added.

When he said these words, Sima Wenzhi deliberately looked away, and did not face each other head-on.

General Gao's face changed as he listened. Until the end, the eyebrows twitched. Then, the sound of a knife coming out of its sheath was heard.

"Don't be impulsive, put the knife down. Sima Wenzhi heard the sound and turned his head to check. Seeing General Gao put a short knife against his neck, he hurriedly reminded.

The guards not far away heard the noise and looked at the two. But he didn't get a military order, so he could only stand in place and be on guard, unable to move forward.

"Your Highness, Gao Chuang is dead. The last general took all the soldiers to defend desperately, just to retain a trace of the blood of the Jin royal family. Even if the country falls into the hands of Liu Thief, as long as His Royal Highness is still there, there is hope for the restoration of the country, and it can also be fulfilled by the wishes of all the adults. ”

General Gao ignored the reminder and forced him to die, his tone was urgent.

"That's it, according to the general's words. Seeing that he didn't put away his saber, Sima Wenzhi made a compromise for the time being and stopped trying to persuade.

Moreover, given the current situation, it is unrealistic to want to disperse the crowd. Perhaps one day these people will understand that they cannot do anything, and they will disperse on their own, and they will not have to think about it anymore.

Hearing the response, General Gao no longer forced him to die. He then put away his saber and stood by to guard it.

When the argument between the two stopped, silence returned to the forest.

More than half of the Shen time, almost unitary time. The winter sun slanted in the west, and the afterglow reflected in the forest, dancing enchanting with wisps of mist.

Sima Wenzhi looked at the mist and felt helpless in his heart.

The fog swing was manipulated by the mountain wind, and his own fate, I don't know who was fiddling.

"Your Highness, it's getting late, and it's not safe in the woods. I'm going to walk out of the jungle to see if there's a good place to spend the night. When Sima asked Zhi to look distracted, General Gao turned around and reminded after checking the sky.

"It's up to the general. Sima Wenzhi responded after hearing this, and as soon as the words fell, there was a sound overhead.

"The periphery is on guard, and the rest of the people converge here with His Highness. General Gao reacted in time, and opened his mouth to command when he heard the sound.

When everyone heard the military order, they quickly walked towards the two of them, and stopped their guard when they were more than ten steps apart.

"General, who is it and what happened?" Sima asked after seeing that everyone had returned, his heart became calm and he opened his mouth to ask.

"It should be an enemy attack, but I don't know how many people from the other side came. However, there is something strange about this matter. General Gao replied as he looked around. After not seeing the enemy troops on the perimeter, he felt that something was wrong.

Without a long delay, he remembered what had gone wrong. After the fencing warning from the guards on the giant tree overhead, there was no other reaction.

Thinking of this, he wanted to look up. Before he could make a move, a scream was heard from the outermost periphery, followed by a succession of people falling from a height.

"Don't come forward to investigate, and don't be too far apart. Seeing that the guards near him wanted to go to the periphery to investigate, General Gao tried his best to think of a countermeasure while giving another military order, and at the same time only a few steps away from Sima Wenzhi, escorting him to the bottom of the tree.

It's a sinister matter.

General Gao was sure that the outer guards had been slaughtered, but he had no way of knowing how the other side had managed to do so in such a short period of time. Even if there is a detailed work to sneak in in advance, it is impossible.

"General, it's raining. As soon as he walked under the tree, Sima Wenzhi noticed that rain was falling on his head and neck, and he opened his mouth to warn.

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed something unusual.

The rain should be unusually cold in winter, but the droplets that fell on him were warm and sticky.

"Your Highness, be careful. ”

After hearing this, General Gao looked up. I just glanced at it, and suddenly my eyes widened, and I shouted loudly. Then, while walking quickly, he took out the short knife that he had put away again.

Seeing this, Sima asked and instinctively looked up. Before he could see clearly, a headless corpse had fallen from a height. He hurriedly moved, flashing quickly.

As soon as he dodged, a pair of beast claws appeared behind the corpse, with flesh hanging on them, and quickly pounced on the top of his head. Sima Wenzhi had never had such an experience, and when he saw that the claws were attacking, Leng did not react in place.

Fortunately, General Gao had already come closer, and while pushing him into the distance, he raised his knife to protect his hands and quickly blocked upwards.

The claws were unusually hard, making a sound when they came into contact with the blade, but they were not severed. With the help of the residual momentum of the dive, General Gao was suddenly forced, and he had to bend his knees and borrow strength, trying his best not to be knocked down.

The other party reacts extremely quickly.

Seeing that the blow did not succeed, he quickly changed his position. When he shot again, he dropped his face and went straight to his chest.

When General Gao saw this, he still wanted to block with his saber, but he was not as fast as the other party, and he watched as he was hit in the chest. At the same time as the bronze mirror of the heart guard was concave, a huge pain gushed out and flew out diagonally.

Although it was a slap in the face, it was not without benefits.

As he flew out, he was able to get out. Once you've landed and stabilized your body, you can take a closer look.

Long ears, standing eyes, sharp claws, similar to the dogs raised in the homes of the common people. However, it stands on both feet, which is different from ordinary dogs.

However, no matter what this thing was, General Gao had already understood that the previous guard fencing warning was not because of the chasing soldiers, but because of the reaction to seeing it.
