Nightwatcher

The reason why Miao Youfang put down his bow and arrows and realized that there were problems with these people was not because of his wisdom, but because of the lack of feedback from the warrior's premonition of crisis.

This shows that the group of flying beasts are not hostile.

"wrong?"

Xu Erlang raised his hand to block the centurion who was about to escort him away by force, and looked sideways at Miao Youfang. .

Miao Youfang described the characteristics of that group of people and explained:

"They were not hostile."

After hearing this, Xu Erlang immediately made a judgment:

"People from southern Xinjiang?"

His complexion is dark, his hair is naturally curly, and his blue and blue clothes are mixed with animal skin clothes.

Whether it was recorded in the book or seen with his own eyes (referring to Lina), Xu Erlang could conclude that the people who came were from southern Xinjiang.

People from southern Xinjiang, could it be that Miao Youfang slapped his head and said ecstatically:

"I see!"

He didn't explain, he threw away his bow and arrow, stood on the parapet, and excitedly waved his arms at the approaching flying beast army.

Seeing the response, the leading flying cavalry drove the flying beast out of the team and swooped down to land on the top of the city, while the rest of the flying cavalry hovered over the top of the city vigilantly, keeping a distance.

"Hoo hoo."

The strong wind from the membrane wings blows away the gravel and sand, and the black-scale giant lands on the horse path, slowly retracting its membrane wings.

Miao Youfang rushed to meet him, and asked in a hasty tone:

"Are you from the Gu clan?"

The middle-aged man on the back of the giant black-scaled beast said:

"My name is Ta Mo, and I am the commander of the Flying Beast Army of the Heart Gu Department, ordered by the leader Chunyan to come to support Qingzhou.

"Heart Gu Department has reached an agreement with Xu Yinluo."

The official speech in the Central Plains was not standard, and Miao Youfang had to listen to it three times before he understood it.

Sure enough, he invited them here. Miao Youfang breathed a sigh of relief, he and Xu Qi'an parted ways on the way to the Gu Clan, the Gu Clan army appeared at this moment, and they had no hostility towards the Dafeng defenders.

Thinking with his toes, he could also figure out that these people were rescuers brought by Xu Yinluo.

Miao Youfang turned his head, nodded to Xu Erlang, expressing his safety and reliability, and then waved again.

Escorted by the vigilant centurion, Xu Erlang came to Miao Youfang's side.

"I told you that Xu Yinluo and I parted ways on the way to the Gu clan." Miao Youfang explained casually, and cheered up:

"They are the rescuers Xu Yinluo found."

The rescue centurion that Xu Yinluo found was stunned.

Miao Youfang yelled loudly, and the defenders in the distance heard it. They were vigilant and full of hostility, and they were taken aback for a moment.

Xu Erlang looked at the Nanjiang man on the back of the giant beast. He had a dark complexion, thick lips, and a thin but not thin body. On the contrary, his tense muscles were explosive.

Xu Erlang's eyes flashed, and he asked calmly:

"My elder brother asked you to come?"

"This is Xu Yinluo's cousin." Miao Youfang interrupted.

When Ta Mo heard it, Xu Erlang's eyes were different, respectfully flattering:

"Yes."

Xu Erlang nodded, and said casually:

"How did you find it here?"

Under normal circumstances, the eldest brother will definitely send the reinforcements from the Gu tribe to Qingzhou City, and contact the high-level officials of Qingzhou first, there is absolutely no reason to come directly to Songshan County.

He pretended to ask casually, but he was actually trying to test the reaction of this self-proclaimed Mind Gu Department Tamer.

"Xu Yinluo asked us to come, and he also gave us a map of Songshan County." While talking, Ta Mo took out a map from his arms: "Although I have been to Dafeng many years ago, on the way Still going the wrong way, I should have arrived last night."

He glanced at the big banner on the top of the city, and said happily:

"Fortunately, it's not too late."

The eldest brother asked them to come to Songshan County, and the Songshan County was saved, and the people were saved. Xu Erlang closed his eyes, his body trembling slightly.

He took a deep breath, suppressed all his emotions in his heart, nodded slightly, and said:

"How does eldest brother know that I am in Songshan County?"

This is indeed in line with the style of the big brother.

I just don't know how the eldest brother knew that he was stationed in Songshan County.

Tamo shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

He went on to ask:

"So can we land?"

Seeing Xu Nian nod his head, he raised his head and whistled vigorously.

The flying beast army hovering in the sky was ordered to lower their altitude in an orderly manner, and landed steadily at the top of the city. But because of the large number, most of the black-scaled giant beasts could only land under the city wall.

A soldier in the distance, with a weapon in his hand, approached cautiously and asked:

"Master Xu, just now I heard from General Miao that they are reinforcements invited by Xu Yinluo?

"Brother, brothers really want to know if it's true."

Xu Nian glanced at him and saw a few wounded soldiers gathered in the distance, looking eagerly at him.

Looking back, Xu Xinian looked at the young soldier and nodded vigorously:

"Yes, these are the Flying Beast Army from the Heart Gu Department, Xu Yinluo invited reinforcements."

The young soldier's face suddenly trembled, and his whole body trembled with excitement. There were tears in his eyes, rolling down.

Miao Youfang jumped onto the female wall, looking from left to right, sweeping across the giant black-scaled beasts at the top of the city, and then overlooking more giant black-scaled beasts below.

There was light in his eyes, glistening with water.

Taking a deep breath, holding back his sour nose, he roared:

"Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived. Xu Yinluo has invited reinforcements for us. We also have a flying beast army."

The sound rolled and echoed.

Excitement suddenly exploded in the hearts of the defenders and militiamen, and then set off a noisy wave.

Someone murmured with tears streaming down his face: "It's saved."

Someone blushed with excitement and roared loudly.

Some people were elated, dancing and cheering.

After the militiamen in the city found out about the situation, they excitedly ran along the streets and alleys to tell each other.

Tell the people in the city that reinforcements are coming, and they are the reinforcements brought by Xu Yinluo.

For a while, cheers echoed throughout the small county.

Xu Nian took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and said:

"Your Excellency Tamo, the Flying Beast Army from the Heart Gu Department came from afar and should have arranged accommodation for you, but the soldiers are extremely fast, and the opportunity to fight is fleeting."

Tamo patted his chest:

"What is Master Xu's order?"

When Zhuo Haoran received the report from the scouts, he was playing with prostitutes in the army tent. Some of these women were captured during the march, and some were beauties scavenged from various counties when they captured the first line of defense in Qingzhou.

Even General Qi Guangbo couldn't say anything about snatching women from camp.

Because the camp prostitute itself is an indispensable part of an army.

For those in power, the necessity of camping prostitutes is to boost morale and solve the distress of soldiers fighting on the battlefield.

This is not conducive to war, and the effect is particularly significant.

Hundreds of flying beast troops? !

Upon hearing the news, Zhuo Haoran's first reaction was that the scouts lied about the military situation.

When did Qingzhou have a flying beast army of this size?

It is simply a fantasy.

He immediately pulled up his trousers and ran out of the barracks with his weapon in hand. He walked away in the air and looked at the city wall.

After seeing it with his own eyes, he had no choice but to accept this "ridiculous" news.

The top of the city was full of giant black-scaled beasts with folded wings.

"When did Qingzhou have a flying beast army of this size?"

Zhuo Haoran clenched his fists tightly, his face was twitching.

As soon as the city was broken, the defenders suddenly ushered in hundreds of reinforcements from the flying beast army. Zhuo Haoran's chest was about to explode. He landed quickly and returned to the barracks. The first order he gave was to retreat.

The Suzaku army in the battalion only had about thirty riders, and they couldn't compete with the defending flying beast army at all.

Whether they admit it or not, the situation has reversed, and now they are the ones who should escape.

There is no other way but to retreat.

The barracks suddenly became chaotic, the remaining few hundred soldiers left everything at hand, abandoned all their supplies, rode on fast horses, led by Zhuo Haoran, rushed out of the barracks, and left in the dust.

Thirty or so Suzaku troops flew up with wings and quickly retreated.

But what Zhuo Haoran didn't expect was that Shen Xiong's roar came from behind just as his side retreated.

The cavalry looked back, terrified, and in the sky behind them, the black army of flying beasts came surging like dark clouds.

The giant black-scaled beast flapped its wings and quickly caught up with the cavalry, while the Heart Gu Masters on its back roared loudly.

In an instant, the well-trained war horse completely lost control and knelt on the ground while galloping. The man and the horse rolled and fell together, and the scene was in chaos.

Heart Gu masters either threw cannonballs and kerosene barrels downward, or bent their bows and pulled the strings, raining arrows on the defeated army below.

"Happy New Year!"

Zhuo Haoran looked up to the sky and screamed.

All six thousand elites were lost in Songshan County, and half of his life was ruined.

After half an hour.

In the half-collapsed urn city, Xu Xinnian sat behind the desk, looked around at everyone, and said with a smile:

"The Flying Beast Army wiped out 300 enemy cavalry and captured 28 cavalry. They wiped out 20 cavalry from the Suzaku Army and captured 3 cavalry. Eight cavalry escaped.

"Zhuo Haoran and his lieutenant escaped without a trace."

Xu Erlang didn't expect the Flying Beast Army to capture a fourth-rank martial artist, the difficulty is too great, and the results obtained so far are already very gratifying.

The only remaining two centurions in the defenders, Zhu Jun, Miao Youfang, and Ta Mo, the leader of the Flying Beast Army of the Heart Gu Department, were present.

After listening to Xu Erlang's "report", everyone was overjoyed and completely defeated.

"I really didn't expect that Xu Yinluo, who is in the southern border, can strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away."

"Nonsense, don't even think about it, Xu Yinluo is a master of military art who wrote military books."

The two centurions chatted excitedly with each other, worshiping Xu Qi'an like a god in their words.

The unsmiling Zhu Jun also showed a smile on his face.

Xu Erlang looked at Ta Mo and said with a smile:

"The Flying Beast Army of the Heart Gu Department has solved Dafeng's urgent need. I will write a book later, and you can take it to Qingzhou City. The matter of forming an alliance can only be left to Envoy Yang Buzheng."

The alliance between the Gu clan and Dafeng is still a "verbal promise" at present, and Yang Gong needs to submit a letter to the court, get the official documents, and the court agrees before it counts.

In Xu Erlang's view, the imperial court is what he wished for, but the process that should be followed still needs to be followed.

"If Minister Yang knew that Xu Yinluo had brought back an army of five hundred flying beasts for Qingzhou, he would be overjoyed."

Zhu Jun's smile deepened.

Tamo seemed to think of something, and said:

"I forgot to mention that besides our Heart Gu Department, there are also brothers of Power Gu Corpse Gu and Dark Gu."

In the Wengcheng, the chatter and laughter suddenly fell silent.

Xu New Year's breathing became short of breath, and he stood up while supporting the table:

"Also? How many? Where are they?"

Tamo pondered for a moment, and said:

"Combining the three parts together, there are probably more than a thousand people.

"As for where we are, I don't know. After we left Southern Border, we divided up our forces. After all, flying cavalry can't carry so many people."

There are still more than a thousand people in the three Gu tribes. Xu Xinian and others became excited.

Anyone who has experienced the Battle of Shanhaiguan should understand how difficult the Gu warriors are.

Although the Gu clan has a small population and cannot compare with Dafeng's army of hundreds of thousands at every turn, they have suffered a lot from Dafeng's army in the battle of Shanhaiguan by virtue of their weird and difficult Gu skills.

If they can make good use of them, this thousand Gu clan, plus five hundred flying beast army, can definitely shine in the battlefield.

Xu New Year's face flushed with excitement, and he held the pen with trembling fingers:

"I will write to Envoy Yang Bu immediately."

Then he turned his head and said to the lieutenant general: "You go back to Qingzhou City with Ta Mo."

Soon, Ta Mo left Songshan County and flew towards Qingzhou City, driving the black-scaled flying beast alone with the Dafeng banner on his back.

Two days later, the chief envoy, in the lobby.

Yang Gong looked down at the map spread out in front of the table, stared at the words "Songshan County", and said in a deep voice:

"We must be mentally prepared for the loss of Songshan County."

The staff including Li Mubai felt heavy hearted.

Although the dispatched scouts have not replied yet, comparing the deployment of troops in Songshan County and the lineup of the enemy army, it is easy to guess the result.

Li Mubai sighed:

"The reinforcements are ready to go. As long as the scouts send back detailed information, they can immediately send troops to Songshan County and take back the city."

According to the overall situation of the second line of defense, everyone made a plan to keep Songshan County first. The reason is very simple. Dongling has turned into a field battle, so there is no need to worry about whether they can advance or retreat.

Wanjun was besieged by the main force of the Yunzhou rebels, and there was an army of flying beasts circling overhead. If they wanted to relieve Wanjun's predicament, they didn't know how many troops they would need to fill in, and they might not be able to keep it.

In contrast, taking back Songshan County is the most sensible move.

Not long after the enemy army occupied Songshan County, it was impossible for the Yunzhou army to arrive in Songshan County to garrison in a short period of time. At this time, there was great hope for sending troops to retake Songshan County.

Then Chen Bing Songshan County, defended to the death, keeping the last stronghold of the second line of defense.

"Erlang is well versed in the art of war, he is not a pedant, he should not die in the city." Li Mubai prayed in his heart.

Yang Gong looked around at everyone:

"To deal with the flying beast army, what's your strategy?"

One staff member said:

"The best way to deal with the flying beast army is naturally to have a flying beast army."

After a pause, he said: "In addition, modifying the bed crossbow to launch it into the air may be able to restrain the flying beast army. When there is no disparity in the combat strength between the enemy and us, it is also a good strategy to let the fourth-rank masters attack."

Just as he was talking, an official hurried in and said loudly:

"Master Chief Minister, a flying cavalry carrying a large Fengqi flag came outside the city, claiming to be a member of the Gu clan."

PS: Let me tell you the good news. After a whole day of hard thinking and meditation from yesterday to now, after countless brain cells died from the liver, I finally completed the conception of the biggest pit in this book. Well, the details still need to be worked out.
