"Duke Ding, do you think the Khitans will launch an attack today?" Wang Haibin asked softly.

"What does it mean? They will definitely launch an attack!" Lu Xiaoxian stood up and said.

"What should we do?"

"What should I do? Defensive! I can't use these 800 people to attack them, right?"

Wang Haibin was speechless. Lu Xiaoxian was right. They now have no other way to go except to defend with all their might. Can they defend against this just by relying on this little person? Wang Haibin didn't ask, nor did he dare to ask.

When the sun was high, the cavalry of the Khitan and Xi clan coalition launched an attack. Of course, it was a tentative attack at the beginning.

The enemy cavalry rushed quickly from all directions, but Lu Xiaoxian was unmoved and just watched quietly.

Wang Haibin couldn't hold back any more. He urged from the side: "Duke Ding, why don't you fire crossbow arrows? The enemy has already rushed to a distance of 200 steps."

Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said, "That's just a few people, it's not worth my crossbow arrows! Just look at it!"

What else should Wang Haibin say? Xue Ne said on the side: "The crossbows are best used when the enemy is densely formed. You see, the enemy cavalry attacked from three directions at the same time, and there were only 3,000 people. The formation was scattered, so crossbows should not be used."

Lu Xiaoxian nodded and said, "Shi Shuai is still sure! Wang Duwei, do you know that this crossbow arrow will only cost dozens of taels of silver. If there is not much killing, it will be worth it. I don't want to do such a loss-making business."

While speaking, the Khitan cavalry had reached about a hundred steps.

Someone in the array issued an order: "Cheer!"

The Luzhou regiment in the formation trained troops around the chariot and raised their bows toward the cavalry outside the formation. With just three rounds, half of the enemy cavalry fell down.

Wang Haibin couldn't help but cheer: "I didn't expect that the cavalry of Duke Ding's country would be dismounted, and the archery skills were so good."

When Lu Xiaoxian heard Wang Haibin's words, he seemed to remember something. He said to the messenger: "Tell me the order, remove half of the people, and the remaining people continue to shoot and kill the enemy cavalry."

"Yes!" The commander immediately conveyed the flag-language order.

Wang Haibin was very curious. He was about to ask a question, but Xue Na smiled and said, "Duke Dingguo, are you hiding your strength, but to make the other party use the tactic of adding fuel to the other party?"

"The one who knows me is Lao Xue!" Lu Xiaoxian said with a thumbs up, "Since they are testing, of course I will not let them test our reality."

After half of the people retreated, the arrows shot from the chariot formation became much sparse, but the accuracy was still there. Although some cavalry rushed to twenty steps from the chariot formation, only a hundred people were left, and there was no impact.

After a horn sounded, the remaining cavalry turned in a hurry and rushed towards the formation. The formation no longer shot arrows, but allowed them to escape.

"Let's go, let's take a break! There will be a bigger wave of attacks soon!"

After saying that, Lu Xiaoxian walked towards the heart of the formation, Xue Na and Wang Haibin followed closely behind him.

Some auxiliary soldiers were loading arrows on the crossbow. Wang Haibin said strangely when he saw it, "There is still an arrow box?"

"Is this a crossbow?" Xue Ne guessed.

Lu Xiaoxian nodded and said, "It's a crossbow, but unfortunately he can only fire six arrows at a time."

"No wonder you prepared so many auxiliary soldiers. Without them, it would take a lot of effort to install crossbow arrows alone!"

Wang Haibin saw some auxiliary soldiers loading something on the ash pole

, asked in confusion: "Duke Ding, what are they doing?"

"Make a gun roll! Install the gun head on the ash rod and fix it, and it will be a gun roll." Lu Xiaoxian added: "The cavalry enters the formation within thirty steps, and this gun rolling is much better than the bow and arrow."

When Luzhou Tuan Jian competed with Li Sijing's mansion soldiers, Xue Na and Wang Haibin were very surprised. How could he carry so many white wax poles with the army? Now they finally understood that it was for gun shooting.

Just after noon, the Khitan and Xi cavalry attacked the chariot formations all over the mountains, about 10,000 people. This time, Lu Xiaoxian was not polite, and all thirty crossbow chariots began to fire crossbow arrows. Because the formation of the Khitan cavalry was much denser, the power of the crossbow arrows was fully utilized, and each giant arrow could reap several lives.

At the same time, the weaknesses of the crossbow chariot were also exposed. It took a lot of time to launch the arrow with a winch after shooting each arrow. Although the Luzhou regiment practiced precise archery techniques, it could not withstand many people. The cavalry of the Qixi coalition army was very fast and quickly rushed to within a hundred steps in the gap.

However, the Luzhou regiment training did not seem to be panicked. They put down their strong bows and began to shoot with crossbows. Since each crossbow could fire six arrows in a row, the arrow rain was very dense, and the cavalry fell down. When the cavalry entered within thirty steps, the guns shot accurately at the opponent.

Wang Haibin was very eye-opening in the formation. It turned out that the battle could be fought like this. He really couldn't understand why the Khitans, who had always been extremely powerful, became the lamb who was wanted to be killed. At this moment, a scene flashed in his mind: a moth fell into the fire.

When the Khitans' ox horn sounded again, the cavalry that rushed like a tide retreated again in a panic, but the number of people at the low tide was nearly half less than when the attack was attacking.

The chariot formation was surrounded by cavalry of the Qixi coalition. The two attacks in the first and second periods cost the Qixi coalition, but they never broke through the chariot formation, and the Luzhou regiment training suffered almost no losses.

Lu Xiaoxian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that today's attack has ended here, so we can notify them to collect the body."

As expected, the Qixi coalition did not launch another attack. After Luzhou Tuanlian sent people to inform him, they arranged for soldiers to come and collect the bodies.

The last red glow at dusk fell on the endless grass covered with sores and wounds. The water of the Xiaoluan River behind the car array made a "rustling" sound, catching people's ears.

The Luzhou regiment trained the car formation as usual. Although the Khitan camping formation was much larger than the car formation, the faces of the Khitan soldiers who cleaned the battlefield could clearly see fatigue and helplessness. Their momentum was no longer as good as yesterday.

Wang Haibin said excitedly, "Duke Ding, will you harass them tonight?"

"Of course!" Lu Xiaoxian said mysteriously again, "But there is still a good show tonight!"

"Duke Ding, you are not going to steal the camp, right?" Wang Haibin opened his mouth wide.

"Is there any problem?" Lu Xiaoxian asked back.

"The Luzhou regiment has trained so many people, but how dare they go to steal the camp?"

Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said, "That's right. Even you think it's impossible, so the Khitans would never have thought of it. This is called unexpected."

What else did Wang Haibin say, but Lu Xiaoxian said: "You should go to bed first, even if you attack, it will be time for Yin."

How could Wang Haibin sleep? That night, Luzhou troupe training was still beating drums and drums and firing arrows, constantly tossing the Khitan camp. Finally, it was Yin time, and Wang Haibin heard that there was something in the car formation.

Move and get up quickly and walk out.

Walking out of the tent, Wang Haibin found that Xue Na had already stood by and watched.

Wang Haibin was about to go forward, but Xue Ne grabbed him. He realized that this was not the time to speak, so he stood quietly beside Xue Ne and watched the scene in front of him.

Lu Xiaoxian personally led 500 people to go to steal the camp. He was so brave that he dared to attack the camp if he only had 500 people. You must know that there were tens of thousands of people on the other side.

Taking advantage of the dim starlight, Wang Haibin discovered a clue, including Lu Xiaoxian, all of them changed into Khitan clothes.

He felt a little moved in his heart, and seemed to understand Lu Xiaoxian's thoughts.

It turned out that Lu Xiaoxian did not want to use his mere 500 people to fight with the Khitans. His purpose was to get into the enemy camp and cause the illusion of being attacked, causing the Khitan coalition to terror, and make them kill each other due to chaos.

Just imagine, in the late night, people suddenly shouted and neighed, and the awakened Khitans and Xi people ran out of the tent, wanting to see what was going on.

What have you seen?

When you see your own people slashing each other, you can’t find the soldiers in the dark, and the soldiers can’t find the generals. If you kill tens of thousands of people on your own, you can’t stop at all. Maybe you will explode the camp!

Lu Xiaoxian took people to set off, Wang Haibin and Xue Na watched them leave, and their hearts also reached their throats.

After a while, there was still no movement. Wang Haibin couldn't help but ask, "Grandmaster, why haven't the beginning yet? You won't be discovered by the Khitans?"

Xue Na also looked worried. He looked at the sky that was gradually pale and shook his head and said, "It must have been not discovered, otherwise the Khitan camp would not be so quiet."

As soon as Xue Ne finished speaking, a shout of killing came from the Khitan camp, and the sound became louder and louder.

"Duke Ding has started to act!" Wang Haibin said excitedly.

The two of them stretched their necks and looked forward, but before dawn, they could not see anything clearly.

About half an hour later, Lu Xiaoxian brought his people back.

"Duke Ding, how about it!" Wang Haibin asked anxiously.

Lu Xiaoxian's face was full of smiles: "It's successful, you hear that they are still killing each other."

Xue Na's eyes were sharp-eyed. He found that there seemed to be fewer people coming back than when he went there, so he asked worriedly: "Is it a big loss?"

"A dozen people were injured, but the problem was not big." Lu Xiaoxian said relaxedly.

"Why are there so many people missing?" Xue Ne asked afterwards.

"They have other tasks!"

"Another mission?" Wang Haibin asked, "Duke Ding, what mission is it?"

"The secret of heaven cannot be leaked!" Lu Xiaoxian left a sentence and crawled into his tent: "I'm going to sleep for a while!"

...

Li Duhuo and Li Daqiu stood side by side in the messy camp, their faces turned ashen.

After two days of attack, not only did they gain nothing, but they lost nearly 10,000 people. You should know that the Qixi coalition army had only more than 30,000 people in total, and only these 30,000 people defeated the Tang army. But now, they have no choice but to do anything to a thousand people. Especially last night's sneak attack caused the Qixi coalition army to kill each other and suffered countless losses overnight.

If Tang Jun defeated him with real swords and guns, he would have been convinced, but he didn't even see the other party, which was really annoying.
