The Baiteng tribe is definitely not a race that is willing to admit defeat, and Wang Xiaoming does not think that if he wins a big village of the Baiteng tribe, the people of the Baiteng tribe will not come to find trouble for him.

The real battle hasn't started yet.

It is not easy to gain a foothold in this land, and it will take the price of blood and fire.

All the personnel began to get busy, repairing the bunkers and digging trenches, preparing to build the strongest base here to deal with the attack of the Hundred Tengs.

Speaking of which, the number of firearms is still insufficient, and if there are thousands of muskets, there is no need to defend at all, and you can directly attack.

Wang Xiaoming is naturally not idle, looking for a suitable arsenal address around, if he wants to gain a foothold here, if he wants to achieve rapid development, there is no suitable arsenal, it is absolutely impossible.

It took a few days for Wang Xiaoming to find a suitable place to build an arsenal in a valley.

With only two entrances and exits, the valley is surrounded by high mountains, easy to defend and, most importantly, close to a nearby coal mine, and rich in water, it can be converted into a hydrodynamic facility with just a few modifications.

Electricity can't be used, so the idea of water power can only be used.

In this regard, technology is not a problem, Wang Xiaoming can provide them with drawings for the production of full-fledged hydraulic machines.

The arsenal is chosen, and then the arsenal is built.

However, at present, it is not suitable for the construction of an arsenal.

Because according to the sentinels, the second large-scale attack of the Baiteng clan is coming. Only by dealing with the second attack of the Motocan clan can we have the remaining strength to build an arsenal.

The second attack of the Hundred Tengs was not long in coming. And this time the scale is much larger than the previous one.

The previous attack was a rescue attack launched by the Baiteng clan in a hurry, firstly, the troops were too small, only 20,000 people, and secondly, they were also underprepared, and the weapons and equipment could not keep up.

But this time, the attack of the Baiteng Clan has been prepared for a long time. The number of troops has reached 80,000, and the weapons and equipment are also relatively sufficient, for Wang Xiaoming and others. Another tough battle.

Fortunately, this time Wang Xiaoming's preparation is also very sufficient, the original Dazhai left by the Baiteng clan has been rebuilt by Wang Xiaoming, from the original Dazhai to a huge castle that is extremely strong. Around the castle. There are also dense and various defensive structures that look extremely scary,

I believe that with the defensive ability of this castle, the attacking team of the Baiteng clan will definitely suffer a big loss here.

On a sunny afternoon, the army of the Baiteng clan entered the warning range of the troops, and the warning range set by Wang Xiaoming was ten kilometers away from the castle, and when it reached the warning range, it meant that the war began.

Wang Xiaoming's arrangement will naturally not be so simple. The way from the cordon to the castle is a variety of defenses. If the other party wants to fight under the castle, he must fight all the way over, and if he fights down all the way, he will block layer by layer, and Wang Xiaoming believes that he can defeat tens of thousands of people on the other side.

In the afternoon of the same day, the battle broke out, the five hundred pioneers of the Baiteng tribe first fought with a sentry station guarding the mountain road, after a fierce battle, the outpost was occupied by the Baiteng soldiers, but the outpost soldiers did not cause casualties, but before the outpost was breached, they had successfully retreated, leaving behind an abandoned outpost and more than 200 casualties on the mountain road.

In the first battle, although Wang Xiaoming's soldiers were not killed, the outposts on the mountain road were occupied, so the morale of the army of the Baiteng clan increased, and it can be said that the momentum was like a rainbow.

Wang Xiaoming had also obtained the news of the battle at the first time, and then marched towards the front line with a troop.

By the time Wang Xiaoming arrived with his men, the army of the Baiteng clan had already arrived, but because night fell, the soldiers of the Baiteng clan could not attack, so they could only set up camp on the mountain road.

The camp they built was very rudimentary, it can also be said that it was not a camp at all, ordinary soldiers slept directly in the open air, and only those big people with status would have a simple tent to live in.

Tens of thousands of horses are crowded on a mountain road, which is dense and dense, but it is also extremely scary.

Wang Xiaoming took 500 soldiers to hide on the opposite mountain road, preparing for a sneak attack at night.

Because you can't be discovered by the other party, you can't naturally make a fire at night, and you can only eat some dry food and drink some water.

In the middle of the night, five hundred men were woken up by the remaining warriors and prepared to attack.

The combat quality of the Baiteng clan can be said to be very low, although some soldiers were sent to patrol the night, but the defense of the camp was still relatively low.

Wang Xiaoming led his men to secretly kill the soldiers patrolling the night vigil one by one, and after approaching the camp, 500 people suddenly attacked.

Rockets, grenades, and muskets fell on the camp of the Hundred Vines in a continuous manner, and they instantly knocked out the Hundred Vines in the dark night.

Amid the firelight and the sound of explosions, the camp of the Baiteng tribe quickly became chaotic, with shouts of killing everywhere and panicked crowds everywhere.

Wang Xiaoming took the soldiers and moved the battlefield, but he didn't dare to approach the camp, let alone enter the camp of the Baiteng clan with the soldiers.

The camp of the Baiteng clan is chaotic now, and his troops are not elite people, once they enter the chaotic camp, they will definitely be chaotic, and when the time comes, the situation will be terrible.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoming did not enter the camp with his men, but only attacked around the camp a few times, making the chaos in the camp worse and expanding its influence.

When the chaos in the camp became out of control, Wang Xiaoming quickly retreated with his men.

Leaving a small group of men to continue to monitor the other party's situation, Wang Xiaoming took most of the men back to the next camp to rest and prepare for the battle.

In the dark night, it is easy to cause riots. Coupled with the attack on the camp of the Hundred Tengs, the commotion continued into one night, until dawn. The riots are over.

When the riot ended, the Baiteng clan was also taken aback as soon as they counted their casualties.

When they set out, there were still 70,000 or 80,000 men, but after a night of rioting, more than 7,000 were killed and wounded, and 5,000 were missing. Although more than 2,000 people were recovered after searching during the day, 3,000 were missing.

A night of riots. It caused huge casualties to the Baiteng clan.

And the current result is because Wang Xiaoming did not take the opportunity to send people to attack, otherwise the losses of the Baiteng clan will be even greater.

However, this is also where Wang Xiaoming is helpless. He himself is naturally capable of fighting at night. However, his soldiers could not do this, so they could only attack outside the camp, and did not dare to enter the camp at all and start a night battle.

He lacks elite soldiers in his hands.

The soldiers of the Baiteng clan were also frightened by this night attack, and after gathering their troops during the day, they did not dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly launched an attack along the mountain road.

The mountain road is narrow, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Wang Xiaoming built forts and defenses on the mountain road, and immediately let the Baiteng clan attack. Frequent losses.

It's just that there are too many soldiers of the Baiteng tribe, and the more they fight, the more proficient they are in the defense of firearms.

It's just that every time a fortress is breached, the Baiteng clan needs to pay huge losses, but Wang Xiaoming and they are flexible in combat, once the fortress is lost, they will immediately retreat, so that although the fortress will be breached, the loss of personnel is not large.

The two sides fought for seven days, and the ten-kilometer mountain road was broken by the Baiteng tribe one by one, and the road was finally cleared, and the Baiteng army finally faced the last fortress, which was also the headquarters of Wang Xiaoming's troops.

Just in order to do this, the price paid by the Baiteng clan was too great, before and after, more than half of the clansmen were killed and wounded, and by the time they reached the castle, the total number of troops that could still fight was less than 50,000, and in the process, 30,000 was close to 40,000 people, and they lost their lives in the battle for the mountain road.

And after so many days of fighting, although the soldiers of the Baiteng clan who were able to survive can be regarded as elite soldiers, they are also tired divisions, and their energy and sharpness have been greatly lost, compared to the previous time, they are incomparable.

The only thing that exhilarates them and gives them a breath of relief is that the battle has finally reached the last moment, the castle is in sight, victory is in sight, and as long as they knock the castle down, the battle is over.

All the warriors of the Baiteng clan were very excited at this time, and they were all breathing a sigh of relief, ready to knock down the castle in front of them.

After a night's rest, the next day the Baiteng warriors began to attack, and when they began to attack, they realized that those inconspicuous buildings outside the castle were a trap of death, almost every time they broke a building, they needed to pay a great price, and by the time they broke all the buildings on the periphery, three days had passed, and there were seven or eight thousand casualties among the soldiers.

The warriors of the Baiteng clan have blood-red eyes, one is willing to fight too hard, and their eyes are bloodshot, and the other is willing to fight until now, in their hearts, they have extremely hatred for the enemies in the castle, so their eyes are blood-red.

They roared and cursed, and when they breached the castle, they would absolutely kill everyone in the castle.

With this deep hatred, the warriors of the Hyakto Clan launched a terrifying attack like a tidal wave, and wave after wave of soldiers rushed towards the castle.

The total number of residents in the castle is less than 10,000, and the regular soldiers are less than 1,000 people, and the number is at an absolute disadvantage.

Just when the Baiteng clan was eager to attack, a bad news came from the rear, and the grain transported by the Baiteng clan from the rear was burned by a fire.

The people of the Baiteng clan really couldn't imagine that when Wang Xiaoming was fighting them, he had already secretly sent a team to the rear to attack their grain transportation brigade.

Although this team was not large in number, only a hundred people, but this hundred people were well-armed, and they were all elite troops, in the case of a surprise attack, they took the team carrying grain by surprise, and then burned the transported grain.

The burned food was enough for them to eat for ten days, but now that the food is burned, they will have no way to get the ration for the next ten days.

And the grain that was originally stored in the army can only be eaten for three days at most.

Grain can continue to be transported from the rear, but it takes time to collect grain and transport grain, and by the time the grain is delivered, tens of thousands of them will have been out of food for several days, and by that time, they will not need any food, just wait for the corpse to be collected.

In the current situation, there are only two ways in front of them, one is to retreat immediately while there are still a few days of rations, as long as they retreat to their own territory before the food is eaten, then it will be fine.

The other way is to attack the castle, there must be food stored in the castle, as long as the castle is broken, they can get food, and naturally they can continue to live.

But neither of these paths is easy.

They have spent so much money and killed so many people to fight the war to the extent it is now, if it is complete now, then wouldn't all the previous efforts be in vain?

Although their Baiteng tribe has a large population, but the total population is only hundreds of thousands of people, this time the army of 80,000 people can be said to have dispatched all the troops that have fallen, if such a battle is lost, it will be difficult for them to start a war in the future.

This is the only time they can take the initiative.

But to continue fighting, it is also a great risk.

After so many days of fighting, they still didn't get in, and it was almost impossible to break through the castle in a short time, and once they didn't break the castle before the food ran out, it was still a dead end waiting for them.

Time is running out, and there is no extra time, let them continue to hesitate, the leader of the Baiteng clan is a black and thin old man, this large-scale battle was triggered by his strength, and in the current situation, he is also difficult to ride a tiger.

He also regrets it very much now, and he has always sighed in his heart, he knew that the other party was so difficult, he would never come here to fight.

Under the big boss, there are many small leaders, and the number of small leaders has been reduced by more than half during this period of fighting, and most of the small leaders have died in the previous battles.

And among these big and small leaders, they also have various kinship relationships, but the hatred between the Baiteng clan and Wang Xiaoming is getting deeper and deeper.

This is one of the reasons why the Hundred Tengs continue to fight. (To be continued......)
