Chapter 237 The Forgotten Lonely Army (Part 2)
Fortunately, after Lu Wangxian arranged for Yong Bowen to sit down, he did not continue to ask questions.
Although the fighting has stopped temporarily, it does not mean that there is nothing to do.
Under the command of Lu Wangxian, this team of people got busy in an orderly manner.
Some people were walking around the Wheel of Time, chanting incantations and putting up talismans from time to time, obviously repairing or setting up the formation.
Some people took the archery bamboo tubes that had just shown their prowess and rearranged them in various directions to make the striking area wider and more reasonable.
Some people stood among the piles of corpses, silently reciting incantations and using talismans to burn the corpses on the battlefield.
Most of those corpses were centaur, half-horse monsters, and some were human. There were not many in number, but there were more than a hundred, and most of them were in dilapidated condition, showing that they had suffered a great deal when they died.
After Lu Wangxian arranged all this, he returned to Yong Bowen. He first complained about neglect, and then explained: "These horse demons have strange poisons that can turn corpses into scavengers. The corpses cannot be left behind."
I think I saw Yong Bowen's confused look and explained it specifically.
Yong Bowen coughed dryly and wanted to explain that he was not the Immortal Envoy, but Lu Wangxian said again: "Immortal Envoy, please wait a moment. I have already informed the leader, but currently the Horse Demon Division is launching a large-scale attack and it is inconvenient to come and go.
, it may take more time.”
Looking up to the sky, at the end of his sight, a large number of centaur and half-horse monsters were regrouping and might launch another attack at any time. Lu Wangxian looked a little worried, "This time the attack of the horse monster lasted longer than before.
It is longer and more violent. I have been involved in combat for more than 20 years, and this is the first time I have encountered such a large-scale attack. We are running out of supplies, and we don’t know if we can survive this time..." He said
He glanced at Yong Bowen and looked slightly cheered, "However, with the arrival of your immortal envoy, I will definitely be able to survive!" As if to increase his confidence, he clenched his fist vigorously and repeated: "I will definitely be able to survive!
"
Yong Bowen saw that Lu Wangxian looked like he was only in his early thirties. He actually said that he had been fighting for more than 20 years. Didn't he go to the battlefield when he was a teenager? He then asked tentatively: "You are fighting the horse demon here.
How long?"
"It has been three hundred and sixty-seven years, five months and eight days since I was sent by the Immortal to move the whole group to defend the boundary of the 36th Defense Zone. Today is the eighth day. The last time an Immortal Envoy came to visit was also a day.
One hundred and twenty-three years, two months and three days." Lu Wangxian said it very smoothly. Given his age, it is impossible for him to know this matter by himself, so he must have listened to others talking about it all day long.
For nearly four hundred years, one sect has fought against millions of demons with the power of one sect!
For what?
What kind of immortal would send people like them to garrison here?
Yong Bowen was full of doubts, and when he saw Lu Wangxian's expectant look, he was afraid that he would soon find out that he was not an immortal and would not be able to bear the blow, so he wanted to explain as soon as possible.
But he still didn't get this opportunity after all.
The scattered horse demon troops gathered together in a short time, shouting and charging again.
Densely packed horse monsters swarmed up the hillside, shouting to kill the sky. But what attacked them first were the huge rocks and iron arrows that filled the sky like dark clouds. If it really happened, the entire top of the mountain would be covered.
There won't be half a living creature left.
Fortunately, there is that transparent light curtain.
Although thin, it is indestructible!
The huge stone iron arrow fell on it, stirring up layers of water-like light waves, which were immediately crushed to pieces by the light waves.
The group of people who first stood around the wheel of time to repair the magic circle stood in scattered positions, reciting incantations, casting spells, and maintaining the light curtain.
When the horse demon troops approached more than 300 steps, the bamboo tube began to shoot arrows. When a hail of arrows was fired, hundreds of horse demons were knocked down on the spot.
The horse demon troops that rushed up fell one after another like withered grass in a strong wind, and then another one rushed up and fell again.
Corpses piled on top of each other quickly filled the ground that had just been cleared.
However, the horse demon troops did not flinch and continued to charge upwards, relying on huge sacrifices to advance slowly but firmly step by step.
"Immortal envoy, please sit down for a moment, my disciple is going to kill the enemy!"
Lu Wangxian clasped his fists and saluted Yong Bowen, turned around and mounted his horse, and more than thirty people followed him on the six-legged horse, with their swords drawn in their hands, ready to charge. Lu Wangxian looked around for a moment and saw the horse on the east side.
The demon troops rushed the fastest, and were less than a hundred steps away from the Wheel of Time. They immediately rushed into the enemy group with their swords, horses and men like a whirlwind, slashing and killing them. Although this group of people was small in number, they all had extremely fierce fighting capabilities.
In one round and round, the horse demon troops on the east side were completely defeated. There was also a bamboo tube on the top of the mountain extending back to cover the shooting cover. The hundreds of horse demons rushing in front were all killed in just a moment.
After cutting this side, the west side was in a hurry. Lu Wangxian led the team to support the west side. After killing for a while, he then reinforced the south side and went back and forth to penetrate the tight siege. This went back and forth several times. Finally, the attacking Ma Yao troops could not bear the casualties and there was an uproar.
Retreat.
Lu Wangxian did not give chase and led the team back to the light curtain.
There were more than 30 people when they went out, but only about 20 people came back. Nearly ten people were killed in the battle, and the rest were all injured.
However, the horse demon left thousands of corpses on the hillside, causing heavy casualties.
The whole battle lasted less than an hour, but its brutality and bloodshed were unparalleled.
Although Yong Bowen has seen many scenes and participated in battles personally, he has never seen such a bloody meat grinder-like fight. Compared with this kind of battle, the human battles he has witnessed are really nothing more than child's play.
I couldn't help but be stunned and my palms were sweating.
The three groups of people still went about their own business as before. Only those who went into battle no longer kept busy. Instead, they sat down to rest and bandage their injuries, and drank water and ate dry food to replenish their physical strength.
Lu Wangxian was also stabbed three or four times, but he simply wrapped it in a white cloth and stopped treating it. He drank heavily while carrying a water bottle.
This kind of injury treatment method is too un-mage-like.
Yong Bowen couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward and said: "You can't handle it like this. If you fight again, the wound will be more cracked and the infection will be worse if dirt gets mixed in." After saying that, he took out the healing talisman - fortunately, he was used to keeping all the talismans.
It was in the personal talisman bag that it was not snatched away along with the sword box - he planned to treat Lu Wangxian's wounds.
Lu Wangxian looked at the yellow paper talisman, frowned, and said in a low voice: "Immortal envoy, this is such a waste. You should keep the talisman for combat use."
Yong Bowen looked at the simple yellow paper talisman in his hand. He really couldn't think of a waste of using it to heal injuries. Isn't this healing talisman drawn just to heal injuries? It would be a waste not to use it. He said: "Don't worry, I'm here
What's more, your injuries are important. Only when they are healed can we continue to fight." Lu Wangxian didn't let him say any more at that moment. He tore off the white cloth that he had wrapped around his wounds, used a talisman to stick to the wound, and turned the talisman into ashes. After curing the talisman, Lu Wangxian let Lu Wangxian
The immortal drank it and then went to treat other people's injuries.
They were all young and strong men in their twenties and thirties. Their injuries were not serious, but they didn't take them seriously. Like Lu Wangxian, they just wrapped them in white cloth and called it a day. When Yong Bowen came over and treated their injuries with talismans,
At that time, they all looked flattered and refused to accept treatment again and again.
