(Thanks to the book friend for the reward, there is still a chapter around nine o'clock in the evening.) ）

The morning light is faint, and the light in the sky is infinitely changing, rendering the clouds in a blurry color.

The cool wind on the grassland blew on the wall of Xiandengzhai and brushed the cheeks of the black-clothed swordsman on the wall.

Lu Bingchen stared at the north, in addition to the fragrance of grass, there was also some inexplicable killing breath and bloody smell brought by the wind!

He jumped slightly, grabbed his arms like apes on the eaves of the corner tower, and stood up with his waist and legs.

The field of vision was wider, and the wind was stronger, blowing Lu Bingchen's clothes.

With all his eyesight, he finally saw the clue in the continuous shadows of the Yin Mountain in the sky, and his face changed.

A sharp whistling came from the mouth of the 100 cavalry commander of the first banner of the right battalion, and floated in the sky above the first village.

"Enemy attack! Thousands of cavalry!"

The horn on the corner tower sounded, and there was a certain manic eagerness in a majestic lowness.

The entire Xiandeng Village instantly boiled, and countless figures rushed out of the room, piercing armor, leading horses, winding crossbows, and unsheathing knives!

In the sound of the orders of the hundred cavalry commanders and even commanders one after another, Li Songqi only wore the usual dark blue brocade robe, which was not as good as the armor, and ran to the north wall with two guards.

Captain Xiandeng shouted while urging the horses: "Except for the guards on duty on each wall, the rest of the flags will reorganize the soldiers and horses, and gather in front of the north wall, but those who do not obey the military orders will be beheaded immediately!"

Condescendingly seeing the busy but not chaotic scene in the village, Lu Bingchen breathed a sigh of relief, but his mood was very gloomy.

The Heron tribe is close to being wiped out, and there are different opinions about who the murderer is. Some say that it is said that Nanyuan Di crossed the Yin Mountain to fight the grass valley, some say that the grassland horse bandits are raging, and some people say that it was done by the black crows in the village first.

In recent days, the various departments of the ripe Di have moved frequently, and they all want to protect themselves in groups, and tens of thousands of large teams have been coming and going, and small-scale rangers are scattered everywhere, so that the guards on the wall are a little subconsciously slack, and they have not been able to find the attacking Di people in the first place.

Li Songqi climbed the wall of the wall, looked at the thousands of Di cavalry in the north who were less than ten miles away from the Xiandeng village, and couldn't help but be angry: "Hateful, what kind of ripe Di, I think they are all white-eyed wolves who can't be raised! So many cavalry have been killed, but none of the tribes have sent anyone to report the news." ”

Then he remembered a rumor that it was from a caravan that had turned back halfway. Could it be that the Heron Ministry really destroyed the old four banners, so that these familiar Di were separated from the Great Zhou?

At the moment of the great enemy, Li Songqi suppressed the disturbed thoughts in his heart, glanced at the silent Lu Bingchen, failed to find out that the enemy was attacking earlier, and the first banner of the right battalion, which was responsible for guarding the north gate, could not get out of it.

He hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't attack this hard-nosed Lu disciple in the background, suppressed his anger and turned around and shouted: "Light the beacon fire!" Right Lieutenant Luo, send your elite scouts out of the village as soon as possible, and find a way to recall the four flags. Those who make good use of their bows and crossbows will immediately go to the wall, and the rest will be on standby!"

Lu Bingchen frowned and said: "Lord Captain is ready to hold on, we are thirty miles away from Shuofang City, counting the time of the whole army, it will take almost half a day for the reinforcements to arrive at Xiandengzhai." Even if these thousands of horses sneak over, it won't take an hour to reach the front of the village, and they can still have enough horsepower to fight. ”

Li Songqi frowned, stared at the commander of the first banner of the right camp and asked: "If you don't stick to it, do you still take the initiative to fight?" ”

Lu Bingchen smiled bitterly: "My lord, in addition to the terrain being a little dangerous, the wall of the village is not enough, it is not a problem to block several times the ordinary Di Qi in a short period of time, and it is not a guarantee for the grandmaster, once the opponent's master breaks into the village, I am afraid the ending will not be good." ”

The wolf smoke on the stage first has risen into the sky, and the sky is clear and cloudless, and it can be seen for hundreds of miles.

The blood-red morning sun and the desolate and lonely smoke painted a bit of magnificence to the border fortress standing on the small hill.

Li Songqi pondered for a moment, but still shook his head and said: "You and I are both soldiers who have not been warped on paper, and the soldiers are all newcomers, and the battle is too dangerous to go out of the village~ The battle is too dangerous, it is better to gather in the village and defend and wait for reinforcements. Alas, if I knew this, I shouldn't have released the old four flags of the left camp. But that's fine, if they can rush back, it's just right to attack inside and outside. ”

Li Songqi said words that he himself might not believe, but his face regained calm, and this unruly bearing also infected the soldiers in the village, and he finally stabilized his position and did not make any big mess.

Lu Bingchen saw that the captain had made up his mind, so he no longer persuaded him, but he couldn't help but slander in his heart: "This captain is really a little optimistic, the wall of the first Dengzhai is so careless, it is clearly used as an early warning of the abandoned son, and it is worthy of General Shuofang to light the beacon fire." As for the reinforcements, there are still two theories. ”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little envious of the old four banners, it was really a blessing in disguise, no wonder those veteran oilers fought to violate the military law and rob horses, in this grassland, one more horse can have one more life.

Xian Dengwei did not take the initiative to attack the enemy, and the morale of thousands of Di cavalry was subtly improved, which made Lao Dongran happy.

What he brought to the village first was not the 3,000 horsemen when he chased and killed Liu Tugou's Fourth Banner, but a full 5,000!

The captain failed to catch up with the treacherous Zhou rangers, but he recognized that the crows were the only ones with no other semicolon outfit, so he simply waved his army south and went straight to the first village, anyway, the people were alive, but the crows' nest was dead.

If the incumbent can pull out this nail wedged into the grassland first, the army under the command of the new king can advance all the way to Shuofang City in the future, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

When supplying on the way, he ransacked a Shudi tribe who did not dare to resist, and the three thousand Di horses under Lao Dongran were full of food and drink, and two thousand strong men were also coerced.

According to the tribal leader who took refuge in him like a grass on the wall, they had a blood feud with Xiandengwei and were willing to help the army of the prince of Helan in the southern plains.

Lao Dongran happily accepted, thinking that these two thousand people should be enough to fill the steep height of more than ten zhang on the hill where Xiandengzhai was located.

Originally, when the two thousand Shudi soldiers heard that they were going to embarrass the surrounding army and attack the most famous Xiandeng Village, they were somewhat apprehensive.

Now it seems that the so-called Xian Dengwei is not worthy of his name, and he doesn't even have the courage to go out of the city to confront him head-on, so these familiar Di are not very afraid.

In their minds, the cavalry was used as foot soldiers to defend the city, and the black crow rangers who were no one to defeat at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain were half scrapped, and they were no longer enough to fear.

Lao Dongran glanced at the leader of the Shudi tribe who was following him, and he was very disdainful of these Shudi who bullied the soft and feared the hard.

Fortunately, these people are not all useless, Shudi is half nomadic and half farming, and many tribes also set up villages to defend, and there will be small-scale fortresses to attack and defend when they conflict with each other, which is considered to be some experience in this regard.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the face of the captain: "Go, let your two thousand warriors attack the fortress, and I will break the city at the right time." ”
