The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"Oh, the thief is back?" Guan Yu immediately became serious.

"The thief general has been beheaded, and the thieves below have already been scared out of their wits, how dare they come here?" Liu Tao shook his head, looked at Guan Yu's confused expression, and didn't explain, just asked, "Do you know , why did I come here to suppress the bandits in person?”

"Isn't it possible to quickly find the trace of the thief and prevent the thief from attacking?" Guan Yu was taken aback.

You Qi heard that there were two thousand thieves who set up an ambush in front of the mountain road and waited for them to pass.At this time, Liu Tao's existence is really very important.

If Liu Tao didn't come, it would take a lot of time just to be on guard against the thieves who might appear at any time.Soldiers are in a tense environment for a long time, coupled with the gap in numbers, it is easy to fail.

Look at the present, after a battle was fought, not a single soldier was killed except for a few people who were injured.

"There are considerations in this aspect, but not all of them!" Liu Tao smiled, "We originally only had [-] soldiers, but after crossing the river, only about [-] were left. Now we have pulled out another [-] soldiers. There are only [-] soldiers left."

"That's right..." Guan Yu didn't know why Liu Tao said this.

"A situation where there are only [-] soldiers, and the main general and one general have already left. If you were Zhang Bao, would you miss this opportunity to attack?" Liu Tao asked back.

"Brother, do you mean that Zhang Bao will send troops?" Guan Yu immediately became serious, and then remembered something, "So brother took us for a long time around the periphery of Xiaquyang before entering the mountain forest. Is it to let the other party know that we have divided our troops?"

"That's right! So now, there are three possibilities!" Liu Tao nodded, and then pointed out two fingers, "Either, Zhang Bao completely retreated to Xia Quyang; or sent troops to come directly to our side; or sent troops to attack Our camp."

"Wait a minute, that is to say, Zhang Bao's main force may be behind us?" Guan Yu immediately became nervous.

They only brought 1000 people, but there may be tens of thousands of enemies!

"I can only say that there is such a probability!" Liu Tao smiled meaningfully, "If Zhang Bao hadn't been stupid, he wouldn't have come here, but launched an attack towards the camp... In other words, we have to Get back on defense immediately!"

Chapter 118 The Battle Outside the City

In fact, there is plenty of time. We set off at half past Mao, and then arrived at the mountain forest at half past Chen.

Then it took two hours to march, including of course the part of the time when the road was diverted halfway.

The final battle process was very short instead, it was over in less than ten minutes, and now the end of time has just passed.

He couldn't see for sure, but today's weather is good, the soldiers only need to look up at the position of the sun, and they can almost estimate the time.Living in this era all year round, maybe I can master this stunt myself.

If you go back the same way, you can go out in about an hour and a half, but considering the fatigue of the soldiers, you need to rest for about two hours, that is, you can walk out of the woods around half past unitary hour (six o'clock in the afternoon)...

No, no, considering that there are no enemies on the return journey, the speed can be faster, half an hour should be enough.

"Since the thieves may attack our camp, what are you waiting for, just go back!" Guan Yu said immediately after hearing the words, there is no need to rest or anything!

"The soldiers have just fought, so they must rest first... half an hour, rest for half an hour, and then set off." Liu Tao looked at the soldiers and said after confirming everyone's mental condition.

"That's true..." Guan Yu looked at the soldiers and nodded in agreement.

"In addition, put the head of the thief's corpse on fire and set it on fire. If you leave it alone, it will cause problems." Liu Tao then ordered that if he defeated the thief and fell here, these corpses would also become troublesome.

Bacteria or viruses may breed, and then infect the animals in this forest, and then affect the surrounding people.

Liu Tao has investigated, and the people in the surrounding area, many hunters rely on this forest for hunting. At the same time, this forest is also the main source of firewood for the surrounding residents.

The key point is that I heard that ferocious beasts will become more aggressive to humans after eating humans, even corpses.

"Stack it up first, and deal with things over there in the camp, and it's not too late to come back to deal with it, right?" Guan Yu reminded.

"That's right, let's do this first..." Liu Tao suddenly realized that there is really no need to waste too much time.

Since it will be dealt with later, then simply don't cut off the head.Just gather the corpses together a little bit, and then cover them with camp tents or something.But there are six or seven hundred thieves, there is no need to take this little military exploits lightly.

After resting for half an hour, the soldiers slowly got up amidst Guan Yu's shouts, and then started their return journey.As expected, when it was confirmed that there were no thieves, the march became very fast.The journey of five or six miles was completed in less than an hour.

The mountain forests began to disappear gradually, replaced by a wide plain area, and the outline of Xiaquyang was faintly visible.

"There is a feeling of 'returning to the civilized world'..." Liu Tao looked at Guan Yu.

"Although I don't quite understand it, I am really touched when I see everything in front of me." Guan Yu thought for a while and replied.

"Sir, look!" A soldier pointed to his camp, "There is smoke over there!"

Liu Tao immediately looked over, and sure enough there was a smoke rising in the direction of the barracks.This is the secret code he and Lu Yan agreed upon.When the thief came to kill him, he immediately ignited the wolf smoke.There is no wind today, and the wolf smoke rises straight up, which can be seen from a long distance.

"Enemy attack, let's go back immediately!" Liu Tao shouted, and then silently cast a 'acceleration technique'.

So when the soldiers were marching, they suddenly found that they seemed to be much lighter, and they walked a lot more easily.The marching speed was further accelerated, and the physical exertion also dropped a lot.

The journey that originally took more than half an hour to complete took only a quarter of an hour before and after, and the military camp had already appeared on the horizon.Of course, what is more conspicuous is the bandit soldiers who are attacking fiercely outside the barracks.

"Approximately how many people are there?" Liu Tao did not expect that the bandit soldiers from Xiaquyang actually went to battle.

"Such a large film, more than [-] can't escape." Guan Yu observed it, [-] is conservative, and [-] is estimated.Anyway, it's all over the place, so it can only be said that it's not over ten thousand.

Blocked by this bandit army, Liu Tao didn't even know the situation of his own army.I want to use Fenglong's insight, but the problem is that although this thing lasts for one day, it can only be used once a day!

Now he is faced with two choices, or cooperate with his own army to attack back and forth.Obviously, this is the most effective offensive method; there is another option, which is to go around and join your own army, so that casting magic will save more magic power.

After weighing it, he found that what he needed was not to save mana, but to keep the thieves as much as possible!

"It's better that Zhang Bao is in the army, otherwise it will take a few days to attack the city..." Liu Tao then waved his hand and cast 'Stone Skin' twice at the same time. There is no way to cover the entire army.

As for the one that was attached to the soldiers earlier, it was already invalid when I came here.

In retrospect, it took about four hours from the time it was cast until now, and it seems that the effect of war magic can only last for about four hours.

Undoubtedly, he cast another 'Vitality Regeneration', which took away 41 points of mana from him.It is not difficult to see from this that the attack of the thieves has been going on for a while, during which many soldiers have been injured.

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately consumed 30 mana points to add a 'Heavenly Armor' to the soldiers over there. At the same time, he immediately cast 'Light Dragon's Faith', and the mana points instantly dropped to 104 points.

"Bowmen, get ready to shoot!" When Liu Tao cast his magic, he did not forget to give orders to the soldiers around him.

At this moment, the thieves had already been spotted, and the officers and soldiers coming from behind, considering that there were only a thousand of them, immediately dispatched a thousand thieves to kill them here.

Liu Tao's troops stopped directly [-] steps away from the enemy's phalanx. The crossbowmen stepped forward, and the sword and shield soldiers were also ready to step forward to cover.

The sword and shield soldiers of the thief army began to move forward. The soldiers lowered their upper bodies, hid behind the shields, and then rushed forward quickly.The shields they carried were so large that they almost covered their upper bodies.

"It's useless, shoot!" Liu Tao shouted loudly, and the 'Storm Arrow' had been attached to the soldiers below.In combat magic, this magic is very useful, but also very painful.

The advantage is to improve the penetrating ability and range of the arrow, so that a stone bow can shoot out the effect of a rhubarb crossbow.The problem is also obvious, the effect is only once, and the second round of shooting loses its effect.

Perhaps increasing the level of wind magic in the future can extend the effective times... If there is a chance to improve in the early stage.

After receiving the military order, the crossbowmen began to shoot at the thieves. At this time, the distance between the two sides was about fifty steps, which was about 70 meters in conversion.

At this distance, the crossbows and arrows flew out, driven by the magic power of the wind, and came to the shield almost instantly.

In the muffled sound of "Puff", the thief's leather shield was pierced, and the arrow continued to go undiminished. It hit the thief behind the shield. After penetrating through his body, he still went backwards, and then shot a thief behind him before stopping...
