Chapter 33 The beacon fire burns, and the wolf smoke rolls out

I have to say that Gu Yalang's views and ideas in military affairs are indeed much stronger than Su Changan's. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

He soon put forward many strategies with Su Chang'an, such as building city walls, strengthening defenses, and making more battle flags, planting city walls all over to set up suspicious arrays. It even changed the previous patrol mode, and divided the military into two shifts day and night to prevent the barbarians from attacking at night.

Su Changan is naturally kind to these.

Five days had passed, and the news from the other side of the border estimated that the barbarian army would arrive in these two days, and that a major battle would be inevitable.

The atmosphere in the west fort is also becoming more and more dull, and the gap between the trapped camp and the seven hundred regular troops brought by Yuan Dongkun is gradually emerging.

Although some demoralizing rumors could be heard from time to time among the 700 soldiers, they did not make trouble, but on the other hand, in the camp, there have been a series of escapes recently, and it was not until Su Changan beheaded several deserters that the limelight gradually subsided.

However, such a strong repression was not a long-term solution, and it is even likely that during the great war, the army mutinied and fled.

Thinking of this, Su Chang'an's brows furrowed, standing on top of the city, looking at the north in the night, where there is a mountain called Wolf Fang, in the near future, the barbarian army will take their iron horses to kill from there, like a sharp sword into the hinterland of Xiliang. And they are the shield against this sharp sword, a weak, even decaying shield.

"What's wrong?" Qingluan came behind him and asked softly.

Su Changan turned around and glanced at Qingluan, I don't know when, Qingluan had broken through again and achieved the Fanchen Realm, such a cultivation speed was really terrifying.

"Nothing. Su Changan smiled, he didn't want Qingluan to worry about him.

But with his dislikes and dislikes written on his face, how could he hide it from Qingluan's eyes, she stretched out her hand and gently put it in Su Changan's palm.

"Don't worry, I'll be with you. She said.

She always said this, or because she was not good at words, what she knew and thought about him could only be reduced to this sentence in the end: "I will accompany you." ”

Such a specious love sentence, put in the ears of others, although it is touching at first hearing, but after listening to it too much, it is inevitable that you will feel bored.

But Su Changan can hear a different taste every time.

In the eyes of others, Qingluan is always cold, and even a little unkind. But Su Changan knew that Qingluan was very gentle, even more gentle than most people. It's just that she won't say it, she just silently does some things, silently moving Su Changan.

"Yes. Su Changan nodded, he knew that he couldn't hide it from Qingluan, so he simply stopped hiding, he asked, "Do you know the barbarians? People?" Su Changan was a little hesitant when he said this, he had never seen barbarians, so he didn't know what they looked like, and he didn't know if it was appropriate to use the word "people" to describe them.

Hearing this, Qingluan thought slightly, and then slowly said to Su Changan in her soft voice: "I don't know much about the barbarians, although the Star Pavilion has a lot of information about him, but because most of the people I am responsible for are the stars of the demon race and the human race, I haven't paid too much attention to it. ”

"And as far as I know, the appearance of the barbarian is not much different from that of humans, but it is more robust, and the lifespan of ordinary people is no different from that of the human race, not as long as the demon race..."

"The barbarians don't cultivate spiritual power, although the realm division is no different from the human race, but in fact, the cultivation methods are really different. ”

"They strengthen their physical bodies by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and when they cultivate to the time of star's death, they can not only chase the stars and take the moon with the power of their physical bodies, but also communicate with the ancestral stars and summon the true body of the ancestors. ”

"Zu Xing?" Su Changan was stunned, this was something he had never heard of.

"Ancestral stars are also stars, but they are not quite the same as ordinary stars, en..."Qingluan frowned as he said this, as if he was thinking about how to explain this problem to Su Changan. "It's actually very similar to the Seven Stars of Tianlanyuan, but it's different. Every person in their clan, without any inheritance of the star spirit, can light up, and only this star. And after death, they can also return to the sea of stars. ”

"A clan lights up a star?" Su Changan felt a little weird, "Doesn't that mean that each clan of the barbarian clan can only have one star death at most?" But why did I hear Guan Canghai once say that the nine major clans of the barbarian clan have twelve star deaths?"

Hearing this, Qingluan shook his head again and said, "The most special thing about the barbarian ancestral star is that a star can be lit up by several people at the same time. And the more people who don't light it, the more power that star has. For example, the royal family of the barbarians, the Dijiang clan has four star deaths, therefore, their barbarian kings are not much better than the Holy Emperor, and it is said that the Tianshu Tianquan of the Tianlan Courtyard died at his hands. ”

Su Changan's expression changed, he had never seen Tianshu and Tianquan, but after all, they were his senior uncles and ancestors, and the weight in his heart was naturally unclear, and when he heard that they were killed by the emperor of the barbarian race, his heart inevitably fluctuated a little.

"In this way, the barbarians are very strong. Then why haven't we seen them attack Xiliang for so many years? With the number of their star deaths, Dawei was no longer an opponent a few years ago. Su Changan asked.

"Although the barbarian king killed Tianshu and Tianquan back then, he was defeated by Yuheng who rushed over, and then the barbarians fell into civil strife, and several major clans competed for power, and it was also the Jiuying clan that suddenly rose this year firmly stood on the side of the barbarian king, and only then did it gradually calm down the civil strife, and only then began to attack the human race. Qingluan explained.

(os: Today's third update, yesterday's owe made up for it)

Su Changan nodded, and asked something again, when suddenly a beacon fire lit up in the southwest direction, and in the dark night, the beacon fire was burning, and the wolf smoke rolled straight into the sky.

Su Changan's pupils suddenly widened, there... It's the direction of Lai Yun City!

According to the previous plan, they were the bait, luring the barbarians to attack, and then lighting the beacon fire, and Laiyun City to bring troops to help, and then the inside and outside should be combined, and the front and back were flanked.

But now that the barbarians have not arrived, why did Laiyun City light up the beacon fire?

Could it be that the barbarians did not take other land first, and then fight again, as they had imagined at the beginning. Instead, he directly dragged the tired division directly to take Laiyun. Although Su Changan didn't understand military affairs, he also felt that something was wrong. Now the barbarian army is pressing the border, and Beitongxuan is defending Yongning Pass, not daring to fight, let alone dividing troops to help. Under such circumstances, there was no need for the barbarians to be so impatient.

But now that the matter has come to this, Su Changan naturally can't sit idly by.

He glanced at Qingluan and said, "You go and inform Hu Zi and Yuan Dongkun, gather the soldiers, and prepare to go out to the army!" Then, he turned his head to a soldier beside him and ordered: "Go and ask Gu Yalang to come to see me!"
