Chapter 364 Tiger Roaring Wolf Howling
Bai Zhong got up and took a look, and saw hundreds of torches outside the camp.
A large number of enemies appeared in the darkness.
Shi Lu and other people in the Shaofu suddenly panicked. They picked up the swords in fear and prepared to fight out later. Digging ditches in the Baiyue area was indeed a very dangerous job.
"Shu'er brings two hundred people to protect the young manor, and the others are ready with crossbows!"
Bai Zhong said immediately.
Ying Shu selected two hundred soldiers, followed Shi Lu and others, and said: "Pay attention to safety!"
After a while, the torches that appeared outside the camp began to approach.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers immediately prepared their crossbows and aimed them at the enemies outside.
The general of the Luoyue soldiers in front shouted in words that Bai Zhong and others could not understand. The torches quickly approached the camp and launched an attack on the Qin army. The sound of footsteps continued to be heard.
"Do it!"
Bai Zhong watched the enemy enter the range of the powerful crossbow and gave the order decisively.
The soldiers stood behind the temporary earthen fortress and pulled the trigger of the crossbow. The rapid sound of the crossbow was very harsh, and the sharp arrows of more than a thousand crossbows were fired into the enemy's ranks.
As soon as the sound of breaking through the air fell, there was a scream coming from the front.
The Luoyue soldiers outside finally became frightened and discovered to their horror that the Qin army's crossbows were too powerful. They wanted to retreat, but the general behind them urged them to continue advancing.
Next, the sharp arrows of the powerful crossbow continued to kill mercilessly.
Another large number of people fell.
The soldiers of Luoyue could not even get close to the gully dug by the soldiers of the Qin army, so they lost thousands of people. They no longer dared to move forward. They all retreated in fear. Even their generals could not stop them.
Luoyue's generals had no choice but to order a retreat and did not dare to launch another attack.
The enemy's night attack ended like this.
Shi Lu and the others heaved a sigh of relief, feeling deeply that the soldiers trained by Bai Zhong were too powerful.
After the battle, Bai Zhong went outside and looked around. Except for the corpses lying on the ground, there was nothing else. He went back to the camp and asked people to continue to be on guard. They didn't care about the corpses. They had to leave early tomorrow morning and continue south.
Time flies very quickly, entering the middle of the night.
They had just rested when there was another movement outside the camp.
Ouch!
A roaring sound resounded throughout the night.
It was the howl of wolves and the roar of tigers. There were so many wild beasts in the mountains and fields of Baiyue, and the wild beasts even gathered together.
Most of the people in the camp were awakened and could no longer sleep. The soldiers all jumped up and picked up their weapons to prepare for wild beast attacks. The wild beasts were more difficult to deal with and more ferocious than the enemy.
"Why are there still beasts?"
Shi Lu's body trembled slightly, he would rather meet the Luoyang army than the wild beasts.
"Shu'er, please continue to protect the young master."
After Bai Zhong finished speaking, he went outside.
Ying Shu and the others took the crossbows in their hands and continued to surround Shi Lu and others, standing in the middle of the camp. As long as the wild beasts outside could not break through the camp's defense, they were still safe.
"Jun Wu An, the beast is controlled by the enemy."
As soon as Bai Zhong arrived outside, he heard a soldier say this.
He looked outside and saw the light of the enemy's torch right in front of him. The sounds of howling wolves and roaring tigers echoed near the light of the torch. The wild beasts were really controlled by Luo Yue soldiers.
They also had the ability to control beasts, which surprised Bai Zhong and others.
roar!
At this time, another roar sounded.
The beasts became furious.
None of Bai Zhong and the others knew how Luo Yue's people gave the order. All the wild beasts rushed towards the camp with extraordinary ferocity and their roars could make people tremble with fear.
"Do it!"
Bai Zhong's face was very solemn.
He could see a total of three tigers and more than twenty wild wolves approaching him in an instant. He quickly took out his strong bow, bent the bow and shot a tiger with one arrow.
When other soldiers saw it, they raised their crossbows and fired.
However, those beasts reacted quickly and seemed to be able to sense danger. Many of them were able to avoid the sharp arrows of powerful crossbows, but there were also three wolves who were shot dead in the first charge.
Bai Zhong continued to draw the bow, and the second tiger fell down again. Then he aimed at a tall wild wolf and shot an arrow. The wild wolf let out a mournful cry and fell into the ravine.
The next moment, the beast approached the gully dug by Bai Zhong and others.
The last tiger was very fast and agile. In the blink of an eye, it jumped over ravines, climbed over horses and earth barriers, and was about to jump into the military camp and pounce on Ying Shu, Shi Lu and others.
"court death!"
Bai Zhong drew his sword, and a stream of sword energy passed through him, killing the fierce tiger.
The remaining wild wolves roared and tried to climb over the earthen barrier, slaying them in and treating the Qin soldiers as their prey.
The soldiers put away their crossbows and drew their swords. They were all soldiers who had practiced Qi refining. They saw the light of the swords flashing past, and several wild wolves fell down on the spot.
Although the wild wolves are ferocious, the soldiers of the Qin army are not weak, so it is still easy to kill these beasts.
The beasts that broke in were quickly turned into corpses. However, as soon as the beasts were dealt with, the Luo Yue soldiers outside found an opportunity and killed them in large numbers.
"Fight!"
Bai Zhong drank.
Luo Yue's soldiers used wild animals to disturb Bai Zhong and others, and then led their troops to kill them.
But they underestimated the power of the Qin army. The two sides had just fought, and the trained soldiers easily cut down the Luo Yue soldiers.
The Luo Yue soldiers were originally fierce and powerful, but they were quickly cut down and fled.
The enemy had to retreat and stay away from the camp. They no longer dared to attack or harass, leaving thousands of corpses outside the camp in a state of disarray.
The conflict soon came to an end.
Only a dozen soldiers of the Qin army were slightly injured and no one was killed. They threw the enemy's corpses outside the camp and continued to be on guard.
"Wu Anjun, has everything been resolved?"
Shi Lu and the others asked worriedly.
In one night, I experienced two fears.
The second time even wild beasts came out. If the people of the Young Mansion said they were not afraid, that would be a lie.
"It's okay. Master, please go back and rest. We will continue south tomorrow. We will take care of the rest."
Bai Zhong promised: "I will protect your safety."
Shi Lu nodded slightly. He was really sleepy and went back to sleep.
The second half of the night was finally spent quietly.
As long as Luoyue's generals are normal people, they all know how strong the Qin soldiers are when they go south for the second time. If they rush to attack again, they will only die, so they don't dare to launch a third sneak attack.
After dawn.
Bai Zhong tidied up the military camp, looked at the corpses outside, and then led everyone to continue to determine the location of the ditch.
Those corpses, eventually the soldiers of Luoyue should come to collect them.
"Young Master, which direction should we look for?"
Bai Zhong asked.
Shi Lu looked at the map, pointed in a direction and said: "Go this way. I want to pass this old river and let the canal flow into the Li River. With the convenience of the old river, there won't be much digging to do."
"Then let's go!"
Chapter completed!
