Chapter 215: Night Attack of Grass and Trees
Gao Zhan ran to the gate of the camp again and said to the captain of the garrison: "Quickly take out all the antlers and block the inside of the fence, leaving absolutely no gaps, and no one is allowed to leave the barracks." [Ran^Text^Library] []”
Seeing that the situation was so urgent, the captain of the garrison quickly ordered his men to carry the antlers, and all the soldiers mobilized to seal the camp gate.
At this time, Niu Jin had already rushed to the camp gate, put on the last armor, and asked Gao Zhan: "What is the situation now, where is the enemy, how many people are there, and how is the distribution?"
Gao Zhan hurriedly replied: "The enemy has not been found yet, but it has been confirmed that our actions have been known to the Jingzhou side, and they have been sending immortal cultivators to follow us, and now is the time for them to attack." ”
When Niu Jin heard this, he was almost angry, he didn't find out what the enemy was doing to wake everyone up, and he hadn't attacked the enemy yet, but he was shocked by his own people, and scolded angrily: "What immortal cultivators, what are no enemies, since you haven't found the enemy, you still have to gather soldiers to do something." ”
Gao Zhan saw that Niu Jin still didn't know the situation, and explained: "The scout squad found a lot of straw men outside the camp, those were all things we didn't see when we came, so I think there must be something strange in this, and after I took it back and handed it over to Zhang Xiao to check, the straw man actually lived, and it became Zhang Xiao's appearance, fortunately it was found in time to eliminate it, Zhang Xiao speculated that there would be a big battle tonight, so I ordered the assembly to be sounded." ”
Niu Jin knew that Zhang Xiao was a person with real skills, and if he said so, it must be reasonable, so he said: "Well, I'd rather believe it than believe it, you organize defense immediately, and I will gather the army and be ready to fight at any time." ”
Gao Zhan was just about to agree, but at this time, he heard the sound of an enemy attack, which immediately attracted the attention of Niu Jin and Gao Zhan, and Niu Jin hurriedly asked, "This is also what you ordered?"
Gao Zhan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I just need them to knock on the cymbal, and the enemy has not been found at that time." ”
Niu Jin knew that there was really an enemy attacking now, so he hurriedly said: "There is no time, you hurry up and organize the defense, I will gather the soldiers and come to support you immediately." ”
After Niu Jin finished speaking, he immediately turned around and ran towards the center, and there was no time to talk to Gao Zhan anymore, and at this time, the soldiers on the lookout also came to report, and said very urgently: "Boss Gao, we heard a lot of stampede when walking outside, and then we also found many figures shaking, after confirmation, it is concluded that a large number of enemies are approaching, because it is too dark, the number is unknown, but looking at their distribution, the military camp should have been completely surrounded, what should we do now?"
Although Gao Zhan was anxious, he still thought calmly and said: "You knock on the defensive cymbal again, and then closely monitor the enemy's movements, and notify me immediately if there is a new situation." ”
The soldiers immediately ran back to the lookout after receiving the new order, and at the gate of the camp they could already see the swaying figure outside, the enemy had arrived, but Gao Zhan was not very sure that he could defend it, because this camp was built temporarily, and the surrounding fence was composed of thin tree trunks, which was very low in practicality and could not withstand the attack of the army, and according to the antlers, a batch had just been made, and the number was relatively scarce, and it seemed that it was impossible to wrap the entire camp.
Now there is no other better way, but to rely on manpower to block the attack, so Gao Zhan shouted: "All the soldiers are lined up to form a battle line, and those with shields are in front, and the enemy must not be allowed to break through." ”
After Gao Zhan made arrangements, he walked to the fence, looked outside, and found that there was indeed a figure shaking, but it didn't look like an army, because the figure outside neither concealed nor rushed quickly, but walked straight and slowly to this side, as if he didn't want to sneak attack at all.
Before Lao Shen and his party had time to rest, they heard the sound of cymbals as soon as they leaned against the tree, and immediately rushed to the camp gate, but they didn't expect the battle to happen so soon, but fortunately, everyone had already returned to the camp, otherwise they might not even have the opportunity to return to the camp.
Lao Shen saw that Gao Zhan was also here at this time, so he ran to his side and asked, "What the hell is going on?" There was no one outside just now, why did a troop suddenly appear now." ”
Gao Zhan didn't explain to Lao Shen, pulled Lao Shen against the fence, and said, "Look at those people outside, do you think there's anything wrong with them?"
Lao Shen listened to Gao Zhan's chatter, so he looked outside curiously, only to see that the people outside still couldn't see clearly, but judging from their figures, they didn't look like soldiers at all, without a trace of military caution, they all walked to the camp at will, which was a war, and it felt like a fleeing refugee.
Lao Shen glanced at it a few times and then said to Gao Zhan: "What's going on? Are they really attacking the camp? No matter how you look at it, they look like a large group of people, is it related to those straw men?"
Gao Zhan saw that Lao Shen also noticed that the people outside were strange, so he said: "These people are the straw men you found, they are all transformed by demonic magic, I don't know if we can survive tonight." ”
Lao Shen looked at Gao Zhan in surprise and said, "Boss, don't be joking, this kind of thing sounds scary, if it's really witchcraft, then one of us will die one less, and they are not judged by life and death at all." ”
Gao Zhan comforted and said: "Then you can do it yourself, you can take some brothers to the rear to guard now, there are so many people gathered here, if the back is broken through, we have no way out." ”
Although Lao Shen was a little frightened by Gao Zhan's words, he still followed the order and ran towards the rear with his men on his back, as long as no people from outside were allowed to come in, there would be no danger.
Gao Zhan saw Lao Shen leaving, and continued to look at the current defense line, the personnel had all arrived, lined up in a column in the fence, and according to the antlers, they were almost in place, I believe that it should be able to prevent people from outside from entering.
Gao Zhan quietly waited for the enemy's attack, only to see that they were very close to the fence, and their faces could already be seen through the light of the torches, which really confirmed what Zhang Xiao said, these people are all Zhang Xiao's faces, it seems that they are really grass-man, and now I just don't know if they are strong or not.
When the people outside had already come closer, Gao Zhan finally saw their full picture, exactly the same as the straw man he subdued, and they all held a wooden stick in their hands, which made Gao Zhan feel a little more relieved, how could such an opponent beat a heavily armed soldier.
Just when the people outside walked to the fence and could not move any further, they suddenly seemed to have received some order, and a red light suddenly appeared in the eyes of the godless, and suddenly they all became furious, and rushed towards the camp with a desperate roar, and the sudden appearance of the situation startled all the people.
The captain of the garrison wanted Gao Zhan and asked, "Boss Gao, what is going on with them, why are their eyes red, and why are they all holding wooden sticks, could it be that they are residents here?"
Gao Zhan knew that all the soldiers were frightened by their appearance, and he was also a little anxious, thinking that the army's heart must not be chaotic, so he shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, these are estimated to be the Jingzhou army's tricks, don't fall for them, and definitely can't let them rush in." ”
All the soldiers calmed down after hearing Gao Zhan's voice, and felt that what he said was very right, these must be the ghosts deliberately made by the Jingzhou army, and they wanted to scare themselves with the help of strange appearances, so as to have the effect of a surprise attack, thinking that the Han army had also used this trick when pacifying the north not long ago, and everyone was immediately furious, thinking that they were despising themselves, and they must look good later.
Gao Zhan looked at his own soldiers, and found that they had all calmed down, and were glaring at the people outside, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But things are beyond the phenomenon of Gao Zhan, the people outside rushed inside as if they were crazy, and the soldiers did not show weakness and waved the long contradiction card to fight back, but when Gao Zhan slashed one of them with a sword, he found that they would not bleed, so he immediately looked at the others and found that it was the same as his own situation, how to explain it, even if he was pretending to be a ghost, he would not be injured.
This is not Gao Zhan's most headache, when a person wanted to leap in, Gao Zhan found it in time, and cut off his head with a sword, only to see this person fall to the ground and twitch for a while, he actually got up casually, picked up his head, put it in its original position, and continued to attack as if nothing had happened, Gao Zhan was really dumbfounded, so what excuse could he use to stabilize the army's heart?
