The bright moon was in the sky, shrouding the dim hall.

Qin Huaidao watched the soldiers rushing up to kill him, but did not go to help. There were not many men in black left, so there was nothing to worry about. Suspicions arose in his heart. These men in black did look like killers. In other words, the people behind the scenes were trying to attract him.

Come here, and you won't hesitate to expose a real stronghold in Fengyu Tower. This cost is a bit high.

If it weren't for the powerful Yulin Guards being called in tonight, if it weren't for the sharpness of the Lian Nu, or if it wasn't for the enemy's underestimation of the Lian Nu, he would have been completely dead. Who is it? Fan Yang Lu's family, or - the prince?

Inexplicably, Qin Huaidao suddenly thought of the scene when the prince met during the day, and felt something was wrong at that time. Could it be that he was behind it? It didn't make sense?

Apart from the prince, the only one who could arrange for Tibetan soldiers to sneak into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty was the Qiwang family of Wu surname. Fan Yang and Lu were the most suspected, but the Zheng family, who also had a grudge, did not rule it out. These people were ruthless enough to even invite foreign enemies to invade.

, if this is the case, what rules should we follow?

Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao hurried to the main entrance of the hall and saw that the soldiers of the outer courtyard were still resisting desperately, blocking the attacks of thousands of enemies outside. Especially at the door, corpses were already piled up in mountains. Qin Huaidao observed for a moment and decided to take the risk to test one or two quickly.

Come forward.

Rushing to the entrance of the courtyard, Qin Huaidao leaned against the wall and shouted: "People outside, listen, come out and have a chat?"

However, no one came out to talk, but instead a burst of arrows came in. Qin Huaidao was unwilling to accept it and continued to shout: "I know who you are. I want to run away, but you can't stop me. When I get away, all of you nine tribes will be killed."

You have to lose your head, don’t believe it, the murderers in black in the back hall have been killed by me, and no one talks to me, can I just leave?"

The soldiers were a little confused when they heard Qin Huaidao's words. They wouldn't really abandon everyone and run away, right?

After all, Xu Shiji was a veteran with rich experience. He saw the fluctuations in the minds of the soldiers and quickly shouted: "Everyone, keep an eye on it. Be careful that the enemy takes the opportunity to come in. I'm here."

Everyone is right, Xu Shiji is still here, please wait a moment in panic.

Qin Huaidao heard the implication of Xu Shiji's words, but now was not the time to explain, so he continued to shout: "I counted three numbers, and when no one answered, I left. With my ability, and it was dark, I ran alone."

No one can catch up, don’t believe it, you can try.”

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

After three calls, everyone saw that Qin Huaidao did not run away. They realized that this was a trick and he was not really running away. They all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Huaidao did not say another word. Since it was a trick, he would lose if he spoke again.

Speaking can also plant a nail in the enemy's heart and quickly retreat to Xu Shiji's side.

Xu Shiji asked curiously: "You kid, where do you go to play?"

"It's just a test."

"What conclusion is drawn?"

Qin Huaidao laughed softly and said: "There are two points. First, this group of people will not accept any negotiation and will not give up until they kill me; second, they deliberately said to run away, forcing them to divide their troops to surround the entire Wentian Temple to prevent me from actually running away.

, Wentian Temple is not small, and there are many palaces behind it. In this way, the enemy's strength will be spread thin, and our pressure will be less."

"It makes sense, your mind works very fast." Xu Shiji sighed.

"However, once the enemy divides his troops and goes to the back hall and finds something wrong, he will attack and come in. We can only defend the front yard, so we have to seize the time to adjust our defenses."

Xu Shiji said bluntly: "Tell me, how to adjust?"

"The main hall is large enough and arranged in a rectangular shape. Two hundred people are sent up, one hundred people guard the back, and one hundred people guard the front. They are high up and have a long view, and the lethality is greater. As for the back door of the main hall, with the one hundred soldiers there, the brigade commander's command ability is not bad, even if

It can defend for a period of time even if it encounters a large-scale attack."

Xu Shiji thought for a while and agreed: "Deploying only a hundred men will not affect the defense here, but it can cope with changes in the enemy. If we really deploy troops to the rear hall, once we enter, it will be difficult to fight."

"Don't be afraid. If we really divide our forces into an encirclement, we can find a weak link and attack them. Since they all have two legs, they may not be able to outrun us. Besides, they don't dare to pursue us in a big way."

"It makes sense. I'll make arrangements here."

Soon, a school captain led his people away from the courtyard wall, and together they carried a tower-type incense burner to the entrance of the hall. They climbed up one by one, and jumped onto the roof of the hall. A hundred people quickly climbed over the ridge along the glazed tiles, and arrived.

On the other side, another hundred people dispersed and hid.

"Dong dong dong!"

Suddenly, there was a crashing sound outside, a courtyard wall began to shake, and the enemy began to hit the wall. The soldiers quickly dispersed, not afraid at all. It would only be an extra door to come in, but they still had to be able to come in. Xu Shiji said to a brigade

Shuai shouted: "Your people will keep an eye on this hole."

"Understood." The other party responded solemnly.

No one was afraid, and no one was nervous. The courtyard door was just open, and no enemy was seen coming in. What's the point of having more openings? The brigade commander shouted with great experience: "Once the courtyard wall is broken, the enemy is likely to hold on."

I'll cover them with shields and rush in. I'll squat down and shoot at their feet."

"Here!" Everyone responded in unison, their morale was like a rainbow.

However, Qin Huaidao's heart sank. The enemy chose to hit the wall instead of dividing his troops to encircle him. It can be seen that he knew that dividing his troops was disadvantageous, and he was afraid that he would really run away. This was because he was anxious and wanted a quick victory.

Urgency leads to mistakes. Qin Huaidao's thoughts became vivid and he said to Xu Shiji: "Shibo, the enemy is eager to come in. Instead of dividing the troops, why not let them in?"

Xu Shiji was a little surprised: "What do you mean?"

Qin Huaidao explained: "The enemy hit the courtyard wall at more than one location, which can be seen as hitting a big hole. Once a large-scale collapse occurs, we may not be able to stop it. It would be dangerous to stay in the courtyard. It is better to hide part of the courtyard in the main hall and hide in the main hall."

On both sides, send some to the roof of the palace and let them in to shoot them."

Xu Shiji did not immediately veto the proposal. Looking at the empty and unobstructed yard, which was indeed suitable for a crossbow, he thought with a thought and asked, "Are you sure you can do it? If not, you won't be able to get out."

"Try it. At worst, you can retreat to the second palace, then break through a courtyard wall and fight out. The loss will not be big, but if you succeed, the gain will be big. Moreover, if you don't retreat, it will be detrimental to our army." Qin Huaidao suggested.

.

When Xu Shiji heard that it made sense, he retreated and fought out at worst. No longer hesitating, he quickly arranged for a hundred people to go to the roof of the hall. With more troops on the roof and being condescending, the lethality would be greater.

Under the command of Xu Shiji, the soldiers retreated in an orderly manner. Some went to the sides of the main hall, and some entered the main hall. They hid one by one and stared at the courtyard wall with vigilance, waiting strictly.

Almost at the same time, there was a "boom" and a large area of ​​the courtyard wall collapsed.

Hundreds of enemies poured in at the same time. The shields covered all the surroundings. They were squatting and walking, even the soles of their feet were protected. They could not shoot. They looked like an "iron turtle". Seeing this scene, the soldiers were secretly surprised and even

It's better to go back. If it's still on the courtyard wall, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Xu Shiji also glanced at Qin Huaidao happily and shouted: "Let go of the shield soldiers in front and kill them!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The crossbows rang out one after another, and the arrows roared out of their barrels, tearing the void with the fighting spirit of the soldiers, intertwining together to form a deadly net that covered the enemy.

Especially the two to three hundred soldiers on the roof of the main hall, who are commanding from a high position, have a good view, and their lethality is amazing.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of enemies who rushed through the gap in the courtyard wall fell down. However, the enemies behind them did not know the situation and thought that victory was in sight. They rushed in desperately, but they were all knocked down by the arrows as dense as a storm, with howls and screams.

Suddenly they came and went, resounding throughout the night sky.

Nearly a thousand people took action at the same time, and the arrows struck one after another, like rolling waves, and no enemy was drowned.

Killing, detonating instantly.

The battle turned into a one-sided massacre.

The number of corpses in the courtyard increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. They were piled up one after another and piled up like a mountain, gradually blocking the gap in the courtyard wall. However, the enemy rushed in like moths to a flame and fought resolutely and desperately.

The "Iron Turtle" composed of the first few hundred people who rushed in was left unattended and was about to move to the entrance of the main hall. Qin Huaidao saw a three-legged incense burner next to it, weighing hundreds of kilograms. He rushed forward, grabbed two legs and held it high.

He got up, rushed out of the hall, rushed towards the "Iron Turtle", and shouted: "Get ready to shoot."

The soldiers nearby were a little confused when they saw this scene.

But Qin Huaidao had already rushed forward, spinning his body in a circle to use his strength, and with a vigorous swing, the three-legged incense burner flew up from his hand and hit the "Iron Turtle" hard. The terrifying impact instantly hit a large area, and a gap appeared in the "Iron Turtle".

The people on the roof of the main hall stood high and looked far away, seeing clearly and aiming towards the past with excitement.

A wave of arrows rushed forward, causing more enemies to fall. Then came another wave of arrows, widening the gap in the "Iron Turtle", and the scene became chaotic. The enemy was panicked, frightened, and fled in a hurry. But how could the soldiers give up?

, and more Touya followed and chased him.

As soon as the "Iron Turtle" on which the enemy's hopes were pinned was broken, their morale suddenly dropped. They lost the courage to risk their lives and retreated one after another. The soldiers took the opportunity to pursue and kill them in waves.

"Hahaha, Mr. Qin is brave!" Xu Shiji shouted excitedly.

"Master Qin is brave!" the soldiers shouted, and their morale was high.

Soldiers are the bravery of generals, and the soul of soldiers. Qin Huaidao's command, ferocious and powerful, all made everyone's fighting spirit boil, their confidence doubled, and they howled like a group of crazed wolves, tearing whoever came to pieces.

Qin Huaidao stared at the enemies who were escaping in a hurry. They didn't seem to be deceitful. He was moved in his heart and rushed up to check. He saw that the enemies did not withdraw their troops after they went out. They just gathered at a distance and prepared to fight again. He was furious in his heart. These Sun Tzu are really unreasonable.

Purpose never gives up.

"How's it going?" Xu Shiji also rushed over to observe and asked.

"There are still about two to three thousand people. It's dark and it's inconvenient. As long as the enemy doesn't run away, we won't chase them out and wait with them until dawn." Qin Huaidao suggested cautiously.

"I thought you were going to chase me out." Xu Shiji said with a smile.

Qin Huaidao didn't answer, and stared at the enemy outside carefully. Someone was lecturing, but the distance was a bit far away, so he couldn't hear clearly. He raised his ears and listened carefully. The accent was a bit special. He looked at Xu Shiji and said, "Shibo, are you from Tibet?"

"The accent sounds like..."

"It seems that the composition of this group of enemies is very complex. There are killers, dead soldiers, and Tubo people. The three parties joining forces can give us face." Qin Huaidao said coldly.

"That's to give you face. I don't have that much face. What do you mean by a dead soldier?"

Qin Huaidao pointed to several corpses not far away: "These are Tang people at first glance, and their faces are cold, and their hands are full of calluses. They were very desperate when they were beaten just now. The army does not have this expression. It is impossible for them to be so desperate after knowing my identity. It is not death."
