Journey To the Heavens Starting From the Night Chapter 36

The next day it was getting late and the whole wasteland fell into silence, and the piercing cold wind howled, driving the people who were still thinking about strolling outside into the tents.

This time is undoubtedly the best time to hide in the tent, drink some spirits to warm up your body, and then have a good sleep. This is a good time, provided you are not the one who was killed. Horse thieves like to launch attacks at this time .

Lin Ling, who hurried over from Tuyang City and gathered a large number of horse thieves, looked at the academy disciple camp with some lights on, and said to his subordinates at the side: "Send the order, let those horse thieves rush a few times first, and tell them which camp Inside, there is food for them to eat for several years."

Horse thieves on the wasteland are not easy to fool, but this time he did not fool horse thieves, but the price for getting that batch of grain may be a bit high.

The subordinate clasped his fists and said, "Aren't we going up, my lord? If it's delayed for a long time, I'm afraid the coalition forces will come to help."

Lin Ling said with a half-smile, "Don't worry, no one will come over tonight. As long as that academy student named Ning Que dies, that old matter will naturally come to an end."

The subordinate quickly passed Lin Ling's order to the leader of the horse thief. About four or five miles away from the academy camp, hundreds of fine horses had already stood up.

The leader of the horse thieves got on his horse, pulled out his knife and said, "Brothers, go up to me, break the camp of the Yan army, and the food is ours."

The horse thieves who heard the word "grain" got on their horses, took out the black cloth and covered the eyes of the horse, waved their whips and started to accelerate.

Lin Ling's subordinate, seeing the horse thief who had already charged, turned his horse's head and galloped away to the distant hillside.

Nearly a thousand horse thieves ran wildly in the wilderness, and the distance of four or five miles was just a cup of tea for these horse thieves.

Inside the camp!

Ning Que, who was still wiping the simple knife, felt the slight vibration of the ground, and suddenly fell down on the ground, listening carefully to the distant voice.

Then Ning Que frowned and ran out of the tent, shouting anxiously: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

The quiet camp suddenly became chaotic, and the academy disciples who had never experienced such a scene were obviously a little flustered in the face of the current situation.

Hundreds of soldiers of Yan State, after hearing the enemy's attack, naturally completed formation under the leadership of General Yan, even though these soldiers were not elites in all battles. But in the face of the enemy's attack on these Yan soldiers, they still didn't panic too much.

Seeing the black horse thieves, Ning Que didn't feel afraid, on the contrary, he felt a little passionate. While wiping the simple knife, he said, "We have become a lone army, and we hope to last until tomorrow morning."

If he can't last until dawn, then he will kill himself.

He had been chopping firewood in Weicheng for many years. These horse thieves were not simple people, they could organize hundreds of horse thieves, and they were not unknown idiots. It was obvious that there was something in the camp that the horse thieves wanted to win.

Wang Ying asked, "Why is Ning Que tomorrow morning?"

"Useless firewood!" Ning Que explained, "I can't even send out the news of asking for help. If the coalition scouts find out about the situation tomorrow morning, can they get out with such a small number of people?"

This is very difficult to do, and there are quite a few disciples in the academy who have entered the realm of non-confusion, but facing the battlefield in the non-confusion realm is no different from a mantis being used as a chariot. They can afford so many horse thieves in the vast wasteland, and they don't need to think about it , there must be someone's dark disk in the coalition forces.

Situ Yilan and other academy disciples also drew their long swords and formed a circle formation. Some of the stronger academy disciples even threw the grain and grass on the grain cart on the ground, holding the grain cart to block the circle. Before the battle.

"Arrow avoidance, arrow avoidance!"

General Yan roared at the top of his voice.

The next moment, the sharp sound of feather arrows piercing the air resounded in everyone's ears.

Almost in an instant, hundreds of horse thieves released thousands of feathered arrows, that is to say, almost everyone drew their bows and released arrows three times.

But both Ning Que and General Yan knew that this was just a temptation by horse thieves, but even this kind of temptation caused them heavy losses. Hundreds of soldiers lost a third, and several people who had entered the realm of no confusion The academy disciple was shot by the arrow and was unable to fight anymore.

General Yan looked at the horse thief who was double-teaming to the left and right and was still shooting arrows, and said: "I have never seen such a powerful horse thief. The horse thief should retreat before the arrow is ready."

He knew very well that his subordinates were not elites, but under his strict orders, they still took the horse thieves' arrows. Judging from the mercenary temperament of these horse thieves, they should retreat for a while.

Listening to General Yan's question, Ning Que said, "I think they probably received the order to die. I don't want deserters under your command, otherwise I will kill those who run away before killing those horse thieves."

General Yan frowned even deeper. Although he did not agree with the words of the academy disciples, General Yan knew that once deserters appeared, the entire camp would be pierced by horse thieves.

The army soldiers of the Yan State looked at Pao Ze who fell to the ground after being injured, and they were even more terrified. If it wasn't for the general, they would have ridden on their horses and ran away before they could run away.

In terms of life and death, they may not be able to compare with horse thieves, but in terms of escape, how can those horse thieves catch up with them?

On the hills in the distance, UU reads www.uukanshu. The leader of the horse thief looked at the camp that blocked the three waves of feather arrows, and said: "It seems that the Yan people have transported a lot of food this time, and they ordered to go down three hundred steps to charge at full strength."

In this vast wasteland, food is the most precious existence, if not so, he would not want to mess with the Yan people at this moment.

The horse thief who was riding a horse to deliver the order took off the horns hanging from his waist, and blew the horns uselessly.

The dull sound of the horn sounded, and the horse thieves who heard the sound of the horn drew out the scimitars around their waists and rushed towards the academy camp. The distance of three hundred steps was only the blink of an eye.

The crisp sound of horseshoes resounded in this square inch of land. At this time, the soldiers of Yan State were able to release the first round of feather arrows. How many arrows.

However, after these feathered arrows landed on the horse thieves who were charging, some horse thieves fell to the ground in twos and threes. Looking at the record of the soldiers of Yan State, Ning Que also took down the boxwood bow and began to shoot the horse thieves. The shooting of the arrow and the formation of the horse thief's charge were also blocked.

"Sharpshooter, there are sharpshooters in the camp."

The shouts appeared, amidst the clatter of horseshoes, almost at the same time, the horse thief who had already approached fifty paces turned his horse's head and galloped away.

The horse thieves want food, but they also don't want to die. Many people will die if they take down a camp with a sharpshooter, and they may be the next person named by the sharpshooter.

Seeing the horse thief who quit, Situ Yilan breathed a sigh of relief, and she asked, "Did we win?"

Ning Que shook his head and said, "This is just the beginning. In the past, the horse thieves might retreat, but I suspect they are not horse thieves at all."
