Heavenly Dao Formula

"How many people are there in large numbers?" Qian Zhixian asked nervously.

"This... I can't tell the little one. The sky is too dark. I only saw a lot of tents set up in the snow." The subordinate replied, "The little one is worried that if they get too close, they will not be able to bring the news back. ."

"Master Qian, let me ask." Master Zhang took the conversation, "How far are these people from the official road?"

"Almost... a mile or two."

"Are there any convoys on the official road? Are they blocking the road?"

His subordinates shook their heads repeatedly, "This little one can see clearly. The snow on the road is so thick that you can't even see a person, let alone the caravan. As for the roadblock...the little one didn't notice that they had set up a card near the official road. ."

"Is there a fence around the tent?"

"Not seen."

"Well," Master Zhang thought thoughtfully, "The last question, you should be the person you found half an hour ago. There should be smoke rising in those tents. What do you think the smoke looks like? Cloudy thick fog or gray water vapor?"

This question made the subordinates think hard, "Back to the adults, the youngest think...it should be the former."

"Okay, you can go down." The master book waved his hand, turned his head and said to the magistrate, "Mr. Qian, the number of opponents must not be too many, it should be between three hundred and one thousand."

"Oh? Why do you see?"

"The empty sky above the official road proves that this team is not carrying heavy luggage. Camping near the official road means that they are ready to retreat at any time." The master book methodically said, "In addition, I have studied in the Shenzhou garrison. Where the number of people exceeds 1,000, the camp tents must be set up separately, separated from each other by fences. This is to prevent the enemy from attacking by fire and to reduce the losses caused by the screaming."

"So that's it," Qian Zhixian nodded repeatedly, "what does the smoke represent?"

"If the cooking smoke is thick and turbid, it means that they are temporarily collected wood from nearby. Because of the heavy humidity and many impurities, the smoke is extremely heavy; while the gray smoke means that it is dry wood, which is easy to ignite. , And will not choke people, just need to prepare in advance."

"This has two meanings-if it is an army of one or two thousand people, it is impossible to maintain the campfire with the wood picked up. In case there is no suitable woodland nearby, or there is an accident, wouldn't these people have to go hungry? Frozen? That way the military spirit will be scattered. Therefore, their number must be limited, which is in line with the previous lack of judgment."

"Secondly, they have no plan to defend for a long time. They probably take one step at a time. Since the wood is picked up temporarily, the rations should be extremely limited. In addition to the round-trip distance, I guess this unit can only Three days in the snow!"

The more he spoke, the more confident he became, and the last sentence almost came out.

"Okay, okay!" Qian Zhixian suddenly laughed after two compliments.

"Why is your lord laughing?"

"I laughed that they were still too scared." He patted his thigh and said, "If an army of hundreds of people rushed into Baisha City without saying anything, wouldn't I have fallen into their hands early? If I dare to do this kind of rebellious things, and try to pressure me by a letter, I will despise the official."

Qian Zhixian's heart was both rejoicing and ridiculing. Sure enough, in the face of right and wrong, even the princess's private soldiers had to weigh three points.

"Tomorrow, I will wait for them to arrive at the gate of the North City-the officer wants to see, which thief dared to commit such a sinful crime!"

...

The next day, Xiaoxue still showed no sign of stopping.

The sky was a hazy pale gray, with neither clouds nor sunlight, as if a cauldron with invisible edges was buckled upside down on the silvery white ground.

The vast countryside outside the city is covered with snow, and the ground is flat like a blanket. Obviously, going out has become an untimely thing in this kind of weather. Even the birds that are usually seen almost disappeared.

It was a rare noise in Baisha City.

This county town is not as important as Jinxia. The city wall is less than nine feet, and there is no walkway at the top. The wall is divided into two layers, the outer layer is masonry and the inner layer is wooden frame. The defender can reach the upper part of the city wall by climbing the wooden frame, exposing half of his body to shoot arrows at the invader, or throwing rocks. At an important location like the gate, a watchtower and watchtower will be set up at the rear. These facilities are basically used with large crossbows. Normal bandits and bandits who want to invade the city will be hit head-on in front of this line of defense.

At this time, the people gathered by the various houses had already occupied the north gate city wall.

After these private soldiers changed their armor and government-style weapons, they actually looked alike, at least few of them showed timidity.

Compared with the private soldiers of the Fei and Tang families, the bureaucratic service is much looser. Qian Zhixian simply transferred them all down and let them be responsible for logistical matters such as moving arrows and hot oil. At the same time, in order to prevent the enemy from deceiving, he also arranged a security team of 50 people at the west gate, east gate and south gate.

After arranging the deployment, Qian Zhixian handed over the command to Master Zhang, and he boarded the watchtower to monitor the battle from a height with Fei Zhuang and Tang Yingzhi.

"It's almost time." Tang Yingzhi glanced at the sky and said, "If the letter is not bluffing, the arrest team should also appear."

"As the saying goes, soldiers don't hate deceit. This kind of intimidation is just to test your determination." Fei Zhuang stared at the distance blankly. "The Hong Taishou, I'm afraid he was frightened by the princess. "

"Hmph, I don't see the court decree, the official is not so easy to talk!" Qian Zhixian said coldly.

The official body was obtained from his rightful reputation, and Baisha City was his place to settle down. How could he easily hand it over?

At this time, several scattered black shadows appeared on the gray-white skyline.

Obviously something is approaching the county seat.

"They are here!" Tang Yingzhi whispered.

"Do you really dare the thief?" Qian Zhixian clenched his fist--to be honest, there was always a trace of doubt in his heart. No matter what the reason is, it is a blatant rebellion to directly act on a court order official without going through the staff. If it is a mountain villager, he can hardly imagine anyone knowing this and deliberately committing a risk.

"It seems that there are not many people on the other side?" Tang Yingzhi squinted his eyes in doubt. The dark shadows did not gradually become one piece, but remained alone at the number of four or five ~www.ltnovel.com~ and they were far apart from each other. Measure the distance of almost a hundred steps.

The question is, just rely on a handful of people who want to attack Baisha City? Are they dreaming?

"No..." Fei Zhuang noticed the anomaly. The outlines of those black shadows were too big, even if they were a strong general in the army, they couldn't be born so burly, right? "...Are you sure it's a human?"

"Not a human?" Qian Zhixian frowned. "What could it be?"

However, no one can answer this question.

...

On the other side, Ning Wanjun could already see the slender city wall in the distance.

She drove her exclusive machine beast "Suzaku", steadily marching in the snow, and behind her were two long rows of soldiers.

The same is true for other teams.

The other four dark mass-produced Guan Beast "Xuanwu" each led a team, and together with the princess car, divided the first batch of pioneers into the attack into ten slender columns.
