May 9, 1172, Beishi Fortress, overcast.

　　 "I have never seen so many enemies in my life..."

　　 Listening to the discussions around him, Huggins held onto the stone stacks of the fortress wall with both hands and said nothing.

　　 The dark clouds blocked the light, and the wind picked up the dust. On the plain less than three kilometers away from the gate of the fortress, the densely packed barbarian soldiers and the Silver Ring coalition forces seemed to cover the earth with a dark carpet, so you couldn't see it at a glance.

　　 On the wall, Hudgens and several commanders of the Knights of Muxi stood on the top of the tower with the best view, observing every move on the battlefield.

The Longbow Regiment and the Crossbowmen squatted behind the wall, took out the arrows soaked in the horse dung, and placed them neatly; the heavy infantry group finally confirmed the reliability of the equipment, and they hammered the rivets of the shield handle firmly. , Check the hooks at the joints of the armors, rub the handles of swords, flail and other weapons with lime repeatedly; the knights rest at the gates, put on semi-duplex blindfolds and mount battle armors for the "alien warhorses".

　　 The squad of "Heir Scouts" who was in charge of detecting the enemy returned. Three people went out. When they came back, there was only one person. The survivor also lost his left eye and was covered in blood.

　　 "My lord, I'm back..."

　　 The horror of the scout made Huggins frowned in surprise: "What's the matter? You were discovered by the enemy?!"

The captain of the scout, who lost one eye, did not fall down with the support of his companions, and said weakly: "We were not found when we were outside the enemy camp. We crossed the front line of defense and approached the Chinese army. , I suddenly heard the howling of wolves. In the next second, the bow and arrows covered our place. The enemy saw through our "mimicry" disguise and chased us for six kilometers. I was the only one to come back alive."

　　 Hudgens looked solemn, and asked, "Tell me all the news you found."

The scout said intermittently: "The enemy has about 5,000 people. In addition to the North and South Army of the Silver Ring, there are also 26 tribes of the Barbarian... I heard the enemy repeatedly mention their commander, a strange name "Kuran's evil" Dogs. Apart from this, we have not found any more news...

　　 Hudgens nodded, and said to the monk behind him: "Take him down for healing."

　　 Watched the scouts leave the city wall with the support of the monks. Huggins looked at the blood marks left on the ground, thought about it for a while, and then set his sights on the enemy camp in the distance.

　　 A wing commander walked up to him and reminded him: “The original intelligence said that the enemy had 3,200, but now it has become 5,000. The ratio of the number of soldiers to the enemy has become 3:1, which is not a good thing.”

　　 ""Kuran's Vicious Dog", have you heard of this person?"

Hudgens’ sudden question caused the commander of the wing to be taken aback. The latter shook his head and replied, “I’ve been fighting the northern barbarians for six years under Cumberland’s hands. "Kuran’s Vicious Dog"? I didn’t listen. I have said that this person may be the gilded crown prince of the barbarian kingdom who came to the battlefield to be gilded. After all, he was just an unknown man."

　　 Huggins, who had been away from the northern battlefield for a longer time, was naturally hard to refute after hearing this. He was just about to persuade the other party to be more careful. The cries of warning from the watch tower attracted his attention.

　　 "The enemy is approaching!"

　　 Hudgens retracted his gaze and looked towards the enemy formation in the distance.

　　 The front line of the enemy army, about 400 people, adopted a loose formation, lifted up shields and weapons, and formed a "long line", slowly marching toward the North Stone Fortress.

　　 Huggins put his finger in his mouth and dipped it, then lifted it above his head. The wind pressure flowing in the air made him nod.

The wing commander looked at him and said: "The north wind, coupled with this wind speed, will make our arrows shoot farther down the wind and have stronger penetrating power! The enemy is just a group of uncivilized barbarians, Even observing the wind direction on the battlefield does not understand such a simple truth."

Huggins looked at the distance between the soldiers in the front of the enemy, using the "Hive" ability, and ordered to the wing commander behind the city wall: "The longbow regiment cancels the lob shot and uses the flat shot. "The successor's sniper crossbow "Hand" freely lock on the enemy commander, abandon the outer attack line, and place the enemy on the middle attack line. Pay attention to the hit rate, save ammunition, and wait for my order!"

　　 As the enemy front drew closer, Huggins felt more and more uneasy.

　　 The enemy's actions completely violated the basic tactics of the siege party.

　　 Common siege troops are generally divided into several batches, heavy infantry cover in the front row, light infantry set up a ladder and rope climbing, and archers shoot to cover in the back row. But the four hundred people in the front of the enemy army, since leaving the formation, the Chinese army did not have any reinforcements to follow up. This is completely lonely.

　　 When the enemy got closer, Huggins finally saw the enemy's true face.

　　 What kind of army is this, just a group of villagers wearing simple leather armor, holding wooden shields and rusty swords!

　　 Old people with white beards and hair, even walking unsteadily, women with only despair in their naked eyes, and even half-elder children who don’t know how to stand still.

"These people in front are civilians in the Holy Guard, and those behind them are the barbarian superintendent team... I finally understand where the more "soldiers" from the enemy come from!" A unit standing next to Harkins The captain said dumbfounded.

　　 Someone cursed loudly: "Treat the common people as a meat shield! This group of beasts are inferior to the devil! Heavenly Father, send down the sacred judge!"

　　 At this moment, the sentry on the watchtower reminded loudly: "The enemy has entered the attack line of the middle circle!"

　　 Hudgens was stunned, his eyes under the steel helmet looked at the "enemy" that was getting closer, but the order to attack was delayed.

　　 "Sir, open the gates and let our knights attack! As long as the supervising teams are eliminated, we can rescue these civilians!"

　　 "Look at the cavalry that came with the enemy in the distance. As long as we dare to open the city gate, they can swarm up and attack the fortress in the chaos!"

　　 "We can only defeat the enemy's supervising team, and then disperse these civilians, so that we have enough time to close the city gate!"

　　 "Don't be kidding! In the melee, these civilians must be thinking about entering the fortress, how to disperse it?!"

When everyone in the Twilight Knights was arguing, Huggins found the captain of the "Heir Sniper Crossbowman" and asked the other party: "If you only kill the barbarian superintendent team without harming the civilians, can you do it? arrive?"

　　 The latter shook his head: "It's hard to distinguish. If you do it, you will definitely get hurt by mistake."

　　 While Hudgens was still weighing, the sentry shouted again: "The enemy enters the inner circle of attack line!"

　　 There is no time to hesitate. The wall-breaking hammer carried by the enemy will soon approach the city gate. Huggins ordered the "Heir Sniper Crossbowman": "Attack!"

The sniper crossbowmen set up long crossbows on the city wall. Iron bolts penetrated the attackers in front of the enemy, and one enemy after another fell under the city wall. The civilians began to want to escape, and the supervising team jumped out while shouting loudly while swinging an axe to maintain the battle line. Little did they know that such a move just made themselves a target.

　　 Soon, after the supervising team in front of the enemy was dead and injured, the remaining civilians dropped their weapons and fled to the distance around the fortress wall.

　　 At this time, Huggins finally breathed a sigh of relief, smelling the lingering smell of blood at the foot of the city wall in his nose, but thinking of a question in his mind.

　　 Why did the enemy send these four hundred people to the front when the north wind was blowing? With such a small amount of troops, there is no threat to the fortress at all, and the only thing they can do is to die.

　　 Isn’t that weird?

　　 While he was still thinking hard, there was a new change in the enemy line.

　　 "The enemy has retreated!"

What? !

　　 Hearing Wangbing’s cry, Hudgens doubted his ears the first thing he did. He hurried to the edge of the city wall and looked out and saw a scene that was puzzling.

　　 is not to lure the enemy, nor to flee, the enemy is indeed retreating to the rear in an orderly manner.

　　 However, even though it was a retreat, the enemy chose to go lightly. The camp stayed in place, and the materials, tents, and fortifications remained intact.

　　 Things are getting more and more weird.

　　 Harkins clearly understood that something must be wrong in this, but he was at a loss no matter what the problem was.

　　 The enemy retreats very quickly. In the blink of an eye, apart from a dozen soldiers left in the enemy's camp, the most conspicuous is a row of huge iron cages covered by canvas.

　　 Hudgens found the "Heirer Scout" with "Eagle Eyes" and asked loudly, "Tell me, what's going on there?!"

The scout looked far away, looking at the enemy’s camp, and said: “Those who stayed don’t look like barbarians and silver ring soldiers. They don’t have armor or weapons, and their clothes are worn out. They look a bit like Captives...huh? Wait, they seem to have gone to the door of those cages."

　　 Huggins urged with an anxious look: "What's next?"

　　 "Father is here!"

　　 was terribly frightened scout, UU reading www.uukanshu.com fell to the ground, pointed at the enemy’s distant camp, and said incoherently: "Monster! The monster has eaten people!"

　　 Huggins grabbed the scout by the collar and shouted, "What is going on?!"

"Those people opened the iron cage, and many terrible monsters emerged from it! They tore those people to pieces in an instant and swallowed them into their stomachs!" The pale scout slowly looked away from Huggins's face. Moving to the distance, his lips trembled and his teeth trembled: "Look...Look...the monsters have finished eating, look at us! They are here!"

　　 Hudgens released the scout, letting him fall to the ground. There is no need for the other party to speak, he can already see the "monsters" that are fast approaching in the distance.

　　 a five-meter-long strange bird with bat-like wings; a crocodile with two horns on its head and a poisonous gas all over its body; a giant wolf with bone spurs that can easily break rocks.

　　 The north wind attacked, sent troops to die, the **** smell of the dead, the barbarians that retreated temporarily, and the strange iron cages were left behind. In the end, these bloodthirsty and man-eating "monsters" were released.

I see.

　　 Hudgens drew the long sword from his waist, and his voice was anxious and fearful.
