Chapter 41 Patrol
"Are you Xu Jin, the current leader of the Blood Owl Dao soldiers?"
In the main hall of the mansion, Zhang Long looked at Xu Jin and said in a very calm tone.
Although Zhang Long's tone was very calm, the moment his words fell into Xu Jin's ears, Xu Jin felt that the pressure on him became heavier.
"My subordinate Xu Jin is the current leader of the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers. I would like to pay my respects to General Zhang!"
Bearing this pressure, Xu Jin saluted Zhang Long in front of him and spoke loudly.
"A few days ago, I learned that there was a Taoist warrior leader in the Chen Kingdom. I was quite surprised at that time. Later, when I found out that you actually killed a Jingguo Zhenyin, I was very impressed with you.
Interested, for more than a year, I have been managing the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers. I have never discovered that among the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers, there are actually talents like you who can become a Taoist soldier.
The leader of the Taoist soldiers is indeed extraordinary, but it is a pity that there are only less than a hundred of the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers left!"
Zhang Long looked at Xu Jin, nodded slightly, and then continued to speak. As he spoke, he raised his feet and approached Xu Jin. His burly body and power made him feel like a man when he got close.
The sense of oppression is particularly strong.
Xu Jin stood there without moving, and there was no change in the expression on his face. For more than a year before, their Blood Owl Taoist soldiers were managed by this person. Although they actually met only a few times, Xu Jin did not.
Get to know something about the other person’s personality.
Zhang Long is a person with a relatively strong personality. When facing Zhang Long, it is best not to show fear or cowardice. The other party does not appreciate the kind of submissive person and prefers the kind of courageous character.
Zhang Long walked up to Xu Jin and looked at Xu Jin whose expression had not changed much. The aura on his body suddenly released some, directly suppressing Xu Jin's body, and asked Xu Jin.
"Now that Chen Guo and Jing Guo are at war, the battlefield is dangerous and dangerous. It is different from the battles you have experienced in the past. I will ask you, do the blood owl Taoist soldiers with less than a hundred people still dare to fight on today's truly dangerous battlefield?"
Bearing the sudden burst of breath from Zhang Long, Xu Jin felt as if a heavy burden was suddenly placed on his shoulders, bending his waist. The Zhang Long in front of him gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
The feeling gave him the urge to stay away immediately.
"We, the blood owl Taoist soldiers, have served under the general before. Now that we are here under the order of the king, we naturally dare to fight!"
Xu Jin tried his best to steady his mind, straightened his body, and said firmly to Zhang Long in front of him.
"Okay, with your words, I have temporarily recognized you as the leader of the Blood Owl Dao soldiers. However, if you want other colleagues in the army to recognize you, it depends on your subsequent performance. Considering that you are waiting for the Blood Owl
There are not many Dao soldiers left. For the time being, you will be assigned the duty of night patrol, under the jurisdiction of the local general Yu Ji. You will be given a team of sergeants to be responsible for the trivial matters in the army. Go and settle down around the outer wall outside the city!"
After hearing Xu Jin's answer, Zhang Long nodded with satisfaction and said to Xu Jin again.
As he spoke, the breath on his body calmed down. Xu Jin immediately felt that the burden on his body was lifted, and his whole body suddenly felt much more relaxed.
"I obey my orders!"
Xu Jin bowed to Zhang Long, and after seeing the other party wave his hand, he immediately withdrew. From the time they met to Xu Jin's exit, it only took a short while and they only exchanged a few words.
As the current commander-in-chief, Zhang Long is under a lot of pressure in the face of Jingguo's attack. He also has many things to do. Being able to meet Xu Jin is already considering that he was in charge of the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers before, and Xu Jin was also able to meet him.
Jin was the first Taoist military leader in history, so we made an exception to meet him.
After walking out of the mansion, Xu Jin led the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers waiting outside and walked directly out of the city gate.
He had already reported to the general, and was assigned to participate in the night patrol, and was ordered to set up camp around the outer wall. Next, Xu Jin would follow Zhang Long's order to set up camp around the outer wall.
After leading the team out of the city, not long after, Xu Jin came to the long dirt slope that he had seen from a distance before entering the city. This was the outer wall that Zhang Long mentioned.
When looking at it from a distance, Xu Jin only thought that this slope was relatively long. Now when he came to it, Xu Jin found that the name "outer wall" was indeed correct. It was indeed a high and thick wall with two sides.
In the middle of the pile of soil is a solid stone wall, the thickness of which is estimated to be more than one meter.
Xu Jin quickly found General Yu Ji, who was also an officer he had seen in the army before. His appearance was somewhat similar to Zhang Long's, and he also had a rough appearance.
The other party obviously also has a certain understanding of the Blood Owl Taoist Soldiers and knows that the Blood Owl Taoist Soldiers have night vision capabilities, so they have no objections to the Blood Owl Taoist Soldiers participating in night patrols, and they cooperated very well and told Xu Jin and the others some things they needed to pay attention to.
matters, and then arranged a team of ordinary soldiers to help Xu Jin and others build a camp and solve logistical problems.
After everything was arranged and the sky gradually darkened, Xu Jin began to arrange the night patrol.
This outer wall is very long. Naturally, Xu Jin and the blood owl Taoist soldiers of about a hundred people cannot come here with full responsibility. They have to patrol along the outer wall. If they find any spies sent by Jingguo, they will fight with them.
Get rid of it.
As night fell, a group of blood owl Taoist soldiers, led by Xu Jin, began to quietly patrol at night.
Xu Jin climbed up the outer wall, lay down on the highest point of the outer wall, and looked towards the direction already occupied by Jing Guo. Due to the flat terrain near Feiyong, Xu Jin's field of vision was also extremely broad. His eyes looked forward and entered the
It was completely empty, not even a shadow of the enemy.
Looking into the distance, Xu Jin felt a little more admiration for Zhang Long, the commander-in-chief.
The fall of Hanyi did not last long. Before Xu Jin set out, Wu Xing had already predicted that Hanyi would not be able to defend it. It might be necessary to stop Jingguo temporarily in Feiyong. What Wu Xing could foresee,
As a general who has been dealing with Jingguo all year round, Zhang Long certainly couldn't see clearly.
Knowing that Hanyi could not be defended, he consolidated Feiyong's defense line and made many arrangements in Hanyi to ensure that after Jingguo obtained Hanyi, his energy would be temporarily involved in Hanyi.
In the past few days, Jing Guo was indeed temporarily restrained and did not attack Fei Yong. However, those arrangements could only contain them for a few days at most. Jing Guo should soon launch another attack.
No trace of the enemy was found. Xu Jin left the outer wall and patrolled the perimeter with the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers. He met Yu Ji on the way. At the request of the other party, Xu Jin's patrol range changed to five areas outside the outer wall.
The surrounding area was a bit more difficult to arrange than before, and Xu Jin couldn't complain.
The night passed like this. At dawn, Xu Jin took the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers back to their camp. The ordinary soldiers arranged for them in the camp had prepared meals for them. After Xu Jin and others finished eating,
They can rest. They patrol at night. Unless they encounter war or other temporary orders during the day, they don't have to do anything anymore.
In his barracks, Xu Jin rested for a while, regained his energy, and then continued to figure out the "Wind Disaster Sutra", the only practice method in his hand. After these days of traveling and thinking, Xu Jin's thoughts on "Wind Disaster Sutra"
I have already understood most of the cultivation content of Caihua Realm in "Wind Disaster Sutra". This is also thanks to the admonisher Yin of Jingguo who also recorded his own cultivation experience, which made it easier for Xu Jin to compare and understand.
It's a pity that the other party's cultivation experience didn't record much about Caihua Realm. He only mentioned a few sentences, and most of the content had to be explored by Xu Jin himself, so Xu Jin was so slow to understand.
But thinking about it, this is normal. After all, the Caihua realm is the first realm of true cultivation. When the other party's cultivation level is low, he probably won't have any insights, and naturally there will be nothing to record.
Time turned and it was afternoon again. Xu Jin went to the outer wall and walked around again. Wherever he could see, there was still no figure of Jing Guo. However, there seemed to be more people arranged on the outer wall today than yesterday.
, and there are several practitioners, with some ordinary soldiers, who seem to be making some arrangements on the outer wall.
The dark curtain once again covered the sky, blocking the light behind the night. Xu Jin led the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers and began their second patrol here.
With yesterday's experience and knowing what he should do, Xu Jin is much more calm today and his efficiency is much higher than yesterday.
After a patrol in the first half of the night, the surroundings were calm and no enemies were found at all.
Hidden in a big tree about five miles away from the outer wall, Xu Jin looked into the distance and still didn't see a trace of the enemy. Counting the time, there was only about an hour left before dawn.
"About an hour before dawn, this happens to be the time when people are most tired. If Jingguo wanted to do something tonight, now is the time. Unfortunately, Jingguo's people did not come. It is estimated that tonight will be so peaceful, and in another half
We can return to the camp in about an hour!" Xu Jin thought in his heart.
While thinking this in his mind, Xu Jin suddenly seemed to sense something, and his eyes that had been looking forward narrowed slightly.
There was still no one in front of him at this time, but in Xu Jin's sight, he could see some vague outlines of human figures, approaching very fast.
"Night-walking Taoist soldiers, this is where we meet an old friend!"
Looking at the vague outlines of human figures, Xu Jin instantly determined the identity of the visitor. He was definitely a night-walking Taoist soldier from Jingguo.
Compared with the last time he fought against the night warriors, Xu Jin's strength has improved a lot this time, and his eyes can see through their invisibility more clearly.
"Gu, Gu!"
Xu Jin raised his hand to his mouth, covered his mouth, and made a low sound like a bird's song. A response quickly sounded from around him, which meant that the warning on the outer wall had been notified.
After receiving the response, Xu Jin took off his long bow, pulled out an arrow and put it on the bow. He slowly pulled out the bow string and aimed at the approaching night Taoist soldiers.
