Chapter 333: The Eve of the Decisive Battle
Zhang Wang's personal commander and general officers patrolled along the village, and where the battle situation was the tightest, there was Zhang Wang's figure.
Although there are many demon thieves outside the city, they have made sufficient preparations before looking at it, and when the Shenji Battalion firearms defend the city, they completely restrain the attackers, even if the demon thieves attack fiercely, they can only add corpses in front of the wall, and they can't get any benefits.
And behind the soldiers is the captain, the slightest lazy or timid will be arrested by the captain Zhang and named, and those brave soldiers will be praised by the captain in public.
Under the encouragement of the captain, the soldiers became more and more courageous, but the demon thieves had experienced the battle of crossing the river and the first four villages, and they had been fighting desperately in front of the official army village but could not break through for a long time, and their own side suffered huge losses, and the possibility of victory within today became lower and lower.
The demon thief is brave, the demon thief is still not afraid of death, and the demon thief wants to avenge the shame caused by Lan Ziyi this morning. They stormed for an afternoon, during which the corpses piled up by the thieves were almost equal to the low camp walls several times in various parts of the city wall, and several of the camp walls were almost cut through by the demon thieves.
But the official army still held on, although the situation was critical, but it was only in danger, even if the thieves wanted to step on the corpse to enter the city, they would be repelled by the Shenji battalion organized by Zhang Wang. When the sun was about to set in the evening, Lei Youde had no choice but to withdraw his troops, and when the demon thief withdrew from the fire net, he was harvested by the fire net for the last time.
Lan Ziyi and his Xiji Tiger Battalion have been watching the battle at a considerable distance east of the camp, during which Lan Ziyi led the Jihu Battalion to rush back but were stopped by the sergeants in the village signaling, which made Lan Ziyi order the soldiers to dismount and rest in the second half of the demon thief's attack on the village, leaving only a few scouts to pay attention to the direction of the demon thief's attack.
On one side is the sound of killing, on the other side is the pastoral herding horses, two diametrically opposed scenes appear in the same place is not far apart, the two sides are like mirrors separated by an invisible wall, independent of each other, but there is a certain inseparable connection.
Lan Ziyi stopped on the high ground and carefully savored the contradictions of the fierce conflict, he thought about the kind of provocative but not easy to describe the connection, without anyone disturbing, Lan Ziyi slowly felt that his body disappeared, the sky and the earth were integrated into his own mind, the huge battlefield seemed to have become a bowl of beating water, the water surface was restless, and under the water surface was a huge force that moved the water surface, now Lan Ziyi can clearly feel that power, it is two forces that must want to put each other and die, They are opposed, they are intertwined, and behind them are two wills that try to rule the world, neither of which will allow each other to exist for the sake of their own continuation, not only the other, but anything that wants to survive outside of this will will be destroyed by the forces under the will and will not let him sprout at all.
After experiencing the power hidden in the depths and the will to guide the power, Lan Ziyi also understood the reason why there were two diametrically opposed battlefields that were not far apart. The power of confrontation was detonated in the big camp, and the two forces were evenly matched, no matter which side could no longer extend the strength, under the current situation, only one part of the big camp could fight, and the rest would be quiet as if nothing had happened, so Lan Ziyi was not special here, what was special was just that Lan Ziyi observed this phenomenon.
At this time, which side can invest more strength will be able to break the stalemate, but it is obvious that Lan Ziyi and his Jihu Battalion are not such a force, Lan Ziyi and the Xiji Tiger Battalion are just a tentacle of the strength of the big battalion, even if they are put into the battlefield now, it is impossible to destroy the hundreds of thousands of demon thieves in front of them, and the demon thieves do not dare to easily send people to take the capital directly because of the Jihu Battalion. Thinking about it this way, Lan Ziyi is only part of the stalemate, he is not as quiet as he imagined, the only thing that is really quiet is the grass, trees, flowers and birds around the battlefield, as well as the clouds in the sky.
Lan Ziyi closed his eyes and raised his head and inhaled deeply, he had forgotten his body, and soon he was about to forget that he had ever existed.
Suddenly, a force dragged Lan Ziyi back from the sky, but the moment the white horse passed through the gap, Lan Ziyi saw everything he didn't expect just now.
After taking a long breath, Lan Ziyi remembered who pulled him back, and Tao Zhutu was still asking beside him:
"Young master, young master?"
Lan Ziyi was slightly annoyed in his heart, although he had had a similar experience before, but this was the first time that Lan Ziyi's consciousness had extended so far and so deeply.
However, the war is urgent, and Lan Ziyi is not allowed to recognize the principles of heaven and participate in Zen and enlightenment, and he should not be annoyed at this time.
Lan Ziyi suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around and asked:
"What?"
Seeing that Lan Ziyi was so distracted that he forgot himself, and now his reply was so abnormal, he couldn't help swallowing and spitting, he still pinched his throat and said softly:
"Young master, the two gentlemen of the Qiu family are here."
When Lan Ziyi heard the names of the father and son of the Qiu family, the three souls and six spirits suddenly all returned to their places, and then looked at the battlefield in front of him, and the demon thieves in the distance had already remembered the sharp sound of gold, and there were high shouts from inside the camp.
Only then did Lan Ziyi realize that the war was over when his soul was wandering.
Lan Ziyi pinched his eyebrows and said:
"Invite the two gentlemen over."
After Tao Zhutu nodded, he quietly went down to call people, and Lan Ziyi, the chattering look of the gods, really jumped Tao Zhutu.
After a while, the father and son of the enemy family were led up the hill by the peach and the rabbit, and the father and son were respectful and deeply affected when they saw Lan Ziyi, and then sang in unison:
"Xiaosheng has seen Wei Hou."
Lan Ziyi saw that the father and son of the Qiu family were so polite, and there was an indescribable awkwardness in his body, he twisted the corners of his eyes and asked:
"Why did the two gentlemen ..... so much to the other? Did Ziyi do something wrong? “
The father and son of the Qiu family raised their bodies and looked at Lan Ziyi, changed their eyes to each other again, and then Qiu Xiaozhi said:
"Wei Hou is serious, we are just ......"
Qiu Wenruo continued:
"My father and I just heard San Lang say that Wei Hou was séance just now."
Saying that, Qiu Wenruo looked at Tao Zhutu with an inquiring eye.
Tao Zhutu was seen by Qiu Wenruo, his face turned red, he was a little embarrassed, and a little shy, the expression on his face was not only because of the humiliation of being exposed, but also because of his concern for Lan Ziyi.
Lan Ziyi finally couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he walked up to Tao Zhutu, patted Tao Zhutu on the shoulder a few times, and said:
"Third brother, third brother! I've been playing with you since I was a child, when did you see me learn the trick of séance and spiriting? “
Tao Zhutu was asked by Lan Ziyi, his face was even more transparent, and he said embarrassedly:
"I saw that the young master stood here motionless for so long just now, except for breathing, he occasionally let out two long whistles. Not only me, but the sergeants lying underneath were frightened. The current young master is like a young master. “
Lan Ziyi heard the words and looked at the bottom of the mountain, and the soldiers lying down quickly looked away, it seems that the soldiers were indeed attracted by Lan Ziyi, but Lan Ziyi didn't remember that he had a long howl?
Lan Ziyi smiled, took off his helmet and scratched his head, he smiled:
"I'm just gasifying in the field for a while, outside the gods, don't be afraid."
Peach Rabbit blushed and muttered:
"Young master, you read too many books, and people have become chattering."
Lan Ziyi patted Tao Zhutu on the shoulder again, and smiled for a long time as a reply.
After laughing, Lan Ziyi looked at the Qiu family's father and son, and he found that the Qiu family's father and son had messy hair, their faces were covered with oil, and their clothes were scratched in several places, and there were a lot of blood stains.
Lan Ziyi asked:
"The two gentlemen also went to war just now?"
Qiu Wenruo smiled:
"On the order of the captain, everyone in the camp had to go to the front line, and my father and I went back to the hundred households, leading the soldiers to fight on the wall for a long time."
Lan Ziyi asked:
"Are the two gentlemen injured?"
Qiu Xiaozhi says:
"Although Lord Taiwei said that he was iron-faced and selfless, he was not a reckless man who casually let people be cannon fodder, both of us father and son were arranged at the back door of the village, and the battle was not as fierce as the main gate, and the soldiers all protected us behind, but we were only stained with blood and were not injured."
Lan Ziyi walked to the side of the father and son of the Qiu family, straightened the clothes of the two of them, and said:
"Thank you two gentlemen."
Then Lan Ziyi asked:
"What is the matter with the two gentlemen?"
Qiu Wenruo says:
"Taiwei ordered us to inform Wei Hou to re-establish the village eight miles to the east, and Wei Hou and the soldiers of the Xiji Tiger Battalion will cut wood and collect materials. The great army will gradually march after the hour. ”
Lan Ziyi was slightly surprised, thought about it and immediately ordered Tao Zhutu:
"Command the brethren to get up at once and march eastward, and when they go to the place, they will hit the horses and tie them up, and they will quickly cut down the trees and set up the villages, so that the men will not be tired of the horses. When repairing, it will be built according to the scale of the large camp, and only large ones are allowed, not small ones. ”
桃追兔 says:
"But young master, there are more than 30,000 people in the camp, and we only have 5,000 people, and it is now three o'clock in the morning, and it is too difficult to repair the stockade in time! And the young master is not allowed to use horses, which has to tire people to death. ”
Lan Ziyi said sharply when he heard this:
"So there's not much time left for us. The military order is like a mountain, even if the captain tells us to go to hobble, we have to go.
The third brother doesn't want to say much, hurry up and bring someone to do it! “
Hearing this, Peach Chai Rabbit clenched his fists, turned around and went downhill.
In fact, there is no need to convey it to Tao Zhutu, Lan Ziyi roared so loudly just now, and many soldiers below the slope had already heard the order clearly and began to move.
Lan Ziyi saw that after Tao chased the rabbit away, he turned his head to the side of the enemy's father and son, and he whispered:
"The camp is eight miles to the east, just west of the forest where I ambushed last night, where it is a rare open space outside the capital, from east to west it is all plains, only in the west the terrain is slightly tightened, and there are no paddy fields around, which is conducive to cavalry raids. The captain ordered me to camp over there, probably because I wanted to ......"
Qiu Xiao nodded when he heard this:
"Yes, Marquis Wei, the captain will have a decisive battle with the demon thief there tomorrow."
