Wu Jinglin seriously recalled the contact battles in the past few days at this time, only to find that as Chen Hai said, there were several contact battles, and the tactics used by the demon barbarian outpost were quite good, even if they were repulsed, there were no casualties, and it can even be said that these few demon barbarians wanted to use small-scale conflicts and contact battles to test the details of their side, but most of the time, the charge of the demon barbarian outpost soldiers was too clumsy.

It can be seen that there are also excellent generals who are good at tactics among the demon barbarians, but most of the demon barbarian generals are still limited to the limitations of traditional thinking and have not gotten rid of them, and their combat ideas are rough and simple.

And before receiving a lesson of enough blood, Wu Jinglin also believed that even if the demon barbarians had a few excellent generals, their more delicate and richer tactical tactics would not have the opportunity to receive enough attention within the demon barbarian tribe.

This is also the fundamental reason why Chen Hai wants to raid his camp before the demon barbarian can reflect on it.

Don't give the demon time to react.

From Hengshan City to the north, the streams and rivers have been frozen, frozen tightly, and the heavy celestial chariots have been crushed over, and the ice is not harmed at all, and there is basically no terrain obstacle.

Wu Meng led the fifth battalion to make a little rectification on the south bank of the Tong River, and waited for Zhou Jun to lead the fourth battalion to rush over in three ways, at this time Chen Hai also led the remaining Hu Wei battalion generals to arrive on the south bank of the Tong River with Wu Jinglin, and then crossed the Tong River and drove to the demon barbarian camp twenty miles away.

Chen Hai did not let the three thousand Tianshui soldiers also cross the Tong River directly, but let the deputy general disciple of Huayang Sect lead this cavalry, and converge with the defenders of the western wing of the corner fort, as long as he can maintain the attack posture of the north from the south bank of the Tong River, it is enough to make the demon man feel uncomfortable.

The demon barbarians went south, entered the gap west of the western foot of Qintong Mountain, one is the lack of necessary materials, and at the same time is not good at building and defending the city, they are very poor at building the camp north of the Tong River, even if it is a wooden fence wall, a rammed earth retaining wall and a ditch that is not too deep, there is no camp completely fenced off, and there are several gaps.

Except for a few simple sentry towers, there were no more defenses that could prevent the enemy from approaching, and the demon barbarian soldiers who pushed to the outside of Hengshan City probably never thought that the defenders would kill the Tonghe River and fight them in the field.

Chen Hai led more than 10,000 soldiers, surrounded by more than a dozen light and heavy celestial chariots, approaching the enemy camp from the gap in the left flank, and tearing the two or three thousand demon barbarian soldiers who tried to form a formation to defend were torn to pieces.

At this time, the demon barbarians had a deeper understanding of the terrifying power of the heavy crossbow, and the wooden shields, side carriages, and wooden fence walls they made were torn to pieces by hundreds or thousands of heavy crossbow bullets in the blink of an eye.

The demon barbarians knew at this time that the simple and thin wooden fence wall was not enough, and fortunately, the fence wall of the big camp was really simple, but it did not affect the more than 30,000 demon barbarian soldiers to abandon the big camp and quickly disperse.

The demon barbarian soldiers also reacted unexpectedly quickly at this time, the number of heavenly chariots in the Long Xiang battalion is very limited after all, as long as they can avoid the front covered by the heavy crossbow barrage of the celestial chariots, the flanks can also find them a considerable space for attack, and constantly look for fighters from the flanks.

Whether it is moving quickly in the snow or having amazing physical strength, the demon barbarian warriors with the blood of ancient demon beasts in their bodies are really much stronger than the elite warriors of the human race.

Watching the demon barbarian soldiers suddenly gather and attack the flanks with longbows and spears, and suddenly disperse, avoiding the edge of the array of chariots after adjustment, Chen Hai sat on the broad back of a red war beast and said to Wu Jinglin: "You see, the demon barbarian's tactics at this time are very clever, and he already has a feeling that he can't find his tracks. ”

Wu Jinglin frowned slightly, although the flank of the Long Xiang battalion was quite rare to defend very steadily even in the flat snow, but as the demon barbarian soldiers swooped over from the flank again and again, they were still accumulating casualties, which showed that the demon barbarian's tactics were quite good.

The number of demon barbarian soldiers is scarce, but there are too many and too elite soldiers who are good at martial arts, three or four hundred steps away, it should be a limited distance for longbow shooting, but the elite demon barbarian soldiers can throw the short iron spear in their hands like lightning.

These elite spear-throwing brutes, the short iron spears they throw, at a distance of three or five hundred paces, are even more powerful than heavy crossbows, but after all, they can't compare with the range of heavy crossbows, and it is difficult to form waves of dense barrage like heavy crossbows.

In any case, the Demon Barbarian Warriors used the rapid movement of the war beasts, as well as the precise and ferocious spear throwing, to indeed cause considerable trouble to the flanks of the Long Xiang battalion.

And those powerful barbarian generals in the demon barbarians, when they attack from both wings, their tactics are more flexible.

The leaders and generals of the demon barbarian tribes are not used to wearing spirit armor that will continue to consume the mana of the true element, but their physique is extremely strong, and they wear heavy armor weighing thousands of catties, and their protective power is by no means above the yellow-level spirit armor.

On the battlefield, ordinary sword qi halberds can't break through their defenses at all, these demon and barbarian powerhouses are often mixed in the barbarian soldiers, and suddenly kill the flanks of the Longxiang camp, one after another, almost tearing the heavens and the earth apart.

The quenching shield deployed on the flanks can block the spears of the elite brute, but it can't stop the sudden attack of the demon barbarian powerhouse, and it is often taken by surprise, and the corresponding strong person needs to be on top to keep the gap from continuing to expand.

However, these demonic powerhouses are no longer as brave and unstoppable as before, and they usually retreat into their own phalanx with a single blow, regardless of whether they can succeed or not, and Chen Hai has to consume a large number of additional defensive talismans to reduce the casualties on both wings.

Wu Jinglin was worried that for a moment, the flanks would not be able to hold their positions, and the gap would be torn open by the demon barbarians, which would induce the collapse of the entire battle array at that time, and persuaded Chen Hai to say: "We have destroyed the demon barbarian's camp on the north bank of the Tong River, and go back to hold Hengshan City at this time, this demon barbarian will no longer be able to stay outside Hengshan City for too long -- as long as there is no mistake on the western front, this winter's defensive battle can be regarded as an easy past." ”

It was precisely because Tianshui County had given up the land thousands of miles deep north of Hengshan, and in the northeast and northwest directions of the Hengbei defensive line, there was the Broken Dragon Ridge defense line in Hexi and the Beijun Chomaling defense line headed by the Miao clan to form a pincer attack, and the real main force of the demon barbarian tribes would not rashly penetrate into the gap; and after testing the extremely strong defensive will and strength on the Hengshan defense line, it was impossible to go deep alone without solving the threat on both wings.

At this point in the war, Wu Jinglin believes that the battle on the Hengshan Defense Line this winter should come to an end.

Chen Hai didn't think it would be a risk to continue fighting, and said: "The demon barbarian's tactics at this time are very clever, but this tactic does not come from accurate command, but orders the demon barbarian generals to lead their subordinates to do their own things in advance, and each of them looks for fighters from our flanks. Such a tactic is indeed simple and effective, but it also requires all demon generals to be deeply aware of the subtleties of this tactic, and to have a well-trained soldier to implement such a tactic meticulously and without discount. Jing Lin, you look at it, as long as it drags on, the patience of the demon generals will run out in advance, and they will think that whether it is the flank or the flank, they will think that they will be willing to bite us hard. As long as we persist until then, the situation of the battle will change, and at that time, Brother Jinglin's three thousand elite cavalry can also cross the Tong River and enter the battlefield to expand the results. ”

Wu Jinglin waited suspiciously for a while, and gradually found that the tactics of several small groups of demon barbarian soldiers gradually became dull and impatient, and tried to tear apart the battle formation of the Longxiang camp many times.

At this time, in addition to reversing the heavy crossbow clockwise or counterclockwise from the forward line to seal the retreat of this part of the demon barbarian soldiers, it is more important to use spears and heavy armor formations to ruthlessly annihilate them internally.

The body of the demon barbarian is much stronger than that of ordinary people, but even if he avoids the strafing of the heavy crossbow, he will not be able to directly trample on the spear and heavy armor array of the dragon camp like a giant elephant, once he is encircled, facing them will undoubtedly be a bleak fate.

Either Chen Hai simply deployed spear and heavy armor formations on the flanks, so that the demon barbarian soldiers who didn't know whether they were alive or dead would rush up and hit their scalps and bleed.

At this time, the spear heavy armor array, fifty people in a team, ten horizontal and five vertical, the spear blades cast by quenched iron are added layer upon layer, as if they can tear through all the heavy spear walls, can withstand all the impact.

Although the spear wall will eventually have an empty barrier, because the defense of the gray spear heavy armor array is also its weakness, Chen Hai is in the middle of each spear heavy armor soldier, deploying shield halberd armor soldiers.

The halberd shield armor of the Longxiang battalion, and the giant shield that he holds on the battlefield are also exquisitely designed.

There is nearly a high quenched gold shield, the shield side is cast with a lock, seeing the enemy cavalry rushing over, more than a dozen quenched iron shields or even dozens, hundreds of quenched iron shields, interlocking, connected into a shield wall, and then supported by a war halberd.

As long as it wasn't a behemoth like a tusked giant elephant, ordinary demon barbarian warriors and beasts rushed in, and it was impossible to easily break down such a solid shield wall.

Even if the five or six meters long, layered and layered gold-quenched spear wall tied up the demons and war beasts that rushed over in a string, it would have more visual impact, but the defense line on the two wings of the Long Xiang camp was too thin, and Chen Hai couldn't take risks for the sake of visual impact.

Changed Wu Jinglin is a demon barbarian general, he must continue to be patient on both flanks, and when he quickly swept by the flanks, he continued to use longbows and spears to strangle the soldiers of the Longxiang battalion, exhausting this side, and the victory always belonged to the demon barbarians who had an absolute advantage in physical strength and physical strength, but most of the demon barbarian generals obviously lacked enough patience.

A bright moon hangs high, shining as bright as day, with a team of impulsive and reckless demon barbarian soldiers were annihilated, the ice and snow were trampled into mud, stained with blood and embarrassed, tens of thousands of demon corpses were discarded on the muddy ice soil, and the heavy crossbow shells of the Longxiang camp were endless, and there was no sign of exhaustion, and the remaining demon barbarian soldiers finally couldn't bear the strong pressure and retreated north.

It wasn't that nearly 20,000 demon barbarian soldiers retreated, Chen Hai would have Mingjin to withdraw his troops, he didn't even care that on the west flank of the Hengshan defense line, there were still 30,000 or 40,000 demon barbarian soldiers staring at the area in charge of the Tianshui County soldiers, and seeing that the moonlight was excellent and the snow was shining like day, he continued to lead the fourth and fifth battalions and Huwei battalions, and went north overnight in the direction of the retreat of the demon barbarian soldiers.

Wu Jinglin could only bite the bullet and lead 3,000 Tianshui soldiers to follow the north.

After a slight pause in the demon barbarian soldiers, Chen Hai commanded the fourth and fifth battalions to attack in turn, and he didn't worry about supplementing them at all.

Fortunately, in the direction of the retreat of the demon barbarians and the pursuit of Chen Hai's troops, they were all attached to the towering peaks at the western foot of Qintong Mountain.

Under the protection of hundreds of fierce spirit birds led by Granny He, the two wind and flame airships carried war materials and marched interspersed between the towering mountains at the western foot of Qintong Mountain, chasing the enemy in the north and Hengshan City and even Liquan thousands of miles away.

In addition to replenishing supplies, there are these two wind and flame airships, on the one hand, they continue to send the wounded and sick back to Hengshan City in the rear in a timely manner, and constantly draw new soldiers from other defense villages to replenish them, always ensuring that the elite soldiers who advance north maintain more than 10,000 people, and ensure that the elite soldiers who advance north are complete in armor and crossbows.

Although there are many strong people in the Demon Barbarian who can fly in the sky, and even a few Demon Wing Clansmen who are extremely deep in the northern realm, the overall number is small after all, and there is no way to rely on a small number of elites to destroy the two Wind Flame Airships under the strict protection of hundreds of war birds.

At the same time, Chen Hai also led the main force of the pursuing enemy to advance north against the cliff at the western foot of Qintong Mountain, ensuring that even if more demon barbarian soldiers converged in the western flank and the north, they would be able to retreat into the deep gorge at the western foot of Qintong Mountain to hold on, instead of being completely exposed to the empty snowfields around them, and countless demon barbarian soldiers would surround them from all directions.

This road was entangled, and on the sixth day, Chen Hai led his troops to pursue to the eastern foot of Yucheng Ridge, which was thousands of miles away.

From Yucheng Ridge to the north, the majestic peak of Qianzhang Jueling at the northwest foot of Qintong Mountain stops abruptly, three hundred miles to the northeast, it is the Choma Ridge in the west of Yongjun, and to the west is the Broken Dragon Ridge camp in the west of Hexi.

Further north from Yucheng Ridge, the peaks and cliffs at the northwest foot of Qintong Mountain, which cannot be backed by the majestic and majestic Qintong Mountain, will also be exposed to the defense line of Hexi Broken Dragon Ridge and the defense line of Yongjun Chopping Horse Ridge, and at this time, in the north of the Broken Dragon Ridge defense line in Hexi and the Yongjun Choling Ridge defense line, a more terrifying scale of demon barbarian soldiers was gathered, which was by no means the ability of Chen Hai to lead more than 10,000 elites.

After the Tong River out of Qintong Mountain, only more than 100 miles north of Hengshan City is the east-west flow, and soon turned to the north, Chen Hai stood on a cliff more than 200 meters high, looking at the Tong River in the northwest direction, which was frozen tightly, and followed Su Yuan, who escorted the supplies with the wind and flame airship, and said: "We will set up a defense here, and from then on, we will no longer let the demon barbarians invade the south half a step." ”

Su Yuan and Wu Meng, Zhou Jun and others all looked at each other, Chen Hai led the generals to settle in Hengshan City, and proposed to repair the defense line to the "small goal" of Yucheng Ridge, everyone planned to wait for the demon barbarians to retreat in the coming year, and the flooding flood washed the wasteland north of Yucheng Ridge into a swamp that was difficult for the army to pass, and they took the opportunity to come over to build the city, but they did not expect Chen Hai to lead his troops to advance to Yucheng Ridge in advance to build a camp in this way.

At this time, there were still forty or fifty thousand demon barbarian soldiers, between Hengshan and Yucheng Ridge, the scale of the demon barbarian soldiers gathered in the north was even more terrifying, and their heavy crossbow reserves had become very limited after several days of consumption;

It stands to reason that they should retreat to Yokoyama Castle for repairs.

The cliff and lonely peak they stood at this time is an independent section of Yucheng Ridge located on the east bank of the Tong River, with a radius of only three or four miles, and there are one hundred and thirty or forty miles of gaps between the remaining veins of the mountain range at the northwest foot of Qintong Mountain in the east, and the Tong River in the west is frozen as hard as iron stone, once the demon barbarian soldiers come from all directions, they will be completely besieged in this snow field.

"I'm afraid there is not enough heavy crossbow ammunition - and the reserves of quenched iron at Liquan have been depleted. Su Yuan said in a suppressed voice, ensuring that these confidential matters would not fall into the ears of ordinary generals guarding the cliff.

Liquan's side can smelt more than two million catties of ninth-grade quenched gold iron every month, and the Tianji Academy Palace can obtain a twenty percent share through various channels and means, which is a condition negotiated when Chen Hai handed over Juquanling to the various families, and it has always been implemented very well.

However, this part of the share is mainly obtained through the light chariots, Tianji repeaters and other weapons and quenched armor cast from the workshop under the Liquan Governor's Mansion, which means that the Tianji Academy Palace can obtain two light chariots, four Tianji repeaters, a number of quenched crossbows and other quenched gold level elite armor in varying quantities from the workshop belonging to the Liquan Governor's Mansion every month.

Chen Hai's original design was also to force the clans to concentrate some of their elite craftsmen in Liquan and in the various foundry workshops under the jurisdiction of the Liquan Governor's Mansion, which also caused the Tianji Academy Palace to not be able to directly obtain a large amount of quenched iron.

In addition, even if Lucheng is twenty or thirty thousand miles away, if you want to transport Lucheng's high-quality quenched iron into Liquan, you can only return once every two months.

At this time, the Tianji Academy Palace was able to organize more craftsmen and apprentices, but due to the severe limitation of quenched iron, it could only supply less than a thousand bladed heavy crossbow shells per day.

Chen Hai just smiled indifferently: "Demon barbarians, I don't know how many heavy crossbows we have in reserve!

"I may be able to persuade the county lieutenant to lead his troops out of Guanhe City, join up with the Longxiang camp, and encircle and annihilate the demon barbarians between Yucheng Ridge and Hengshan, and then I can deter the demon barbarians in the north. Wu Jinglin exhaled lightly and suggested.

Wu Jinglin is a cautious person by nature, but in the past ten days, he led three thousand Tianshui County soldiers into Hengshan City, and after meeting with Chen Hai, there was a wisp of emotional pride and fighting spirit in his chest, and he was purifying his intestines.

This will be a rare counterattack battle in Tianshui County for decades, and if this battle can be won, it will definitely be able to strengthen the morale of the whole county and the children of Huayang Sect......
