Volume 1 Building the City Chapter 97 Departure Again (4) (Proofreading)
With an arrow shot by the leader boss in the air, the battle with the wolves finally began, and the tribesmen, who were attacked on all sides, lined up with their backs against the gables, and launched an attack on the wolves with a lineup of archers and shields.
They did not take the initiative to attack, after the leader shot the wolf that rushed to the front, the wolves seemed to have fallen into a state of madness, and the wolves launched a charge-like attack on Wang Tian's position without the leader of the wolf.
In accordance with their previous experience, they use wolf pack tactics to attack their prey, and the wolves scatter and outflank all the enemy's retreats.
The wolves on the left drove the prey to the right, and the wolves on the right drove the prey to the back, wanting to continue as before, and when the prey was completely exhausted, the wolves swarmed up and killed the prey.
But the wolves had lost the opportunity, and the people of the tribe had their backs against the gables and bamboo shields in their hands, and they were not afraid of the onslaught of the wolves.
In everyone's opinion, the tactics carried out by the wolves now are no different from suicide, and with the protection of the shields, the wolves who rushed up could not tear through the defenses at all.
Wang Tianhe asked everyone to let the wolves rush to the front before starting to release arrows, so as to ensure the accuracy of shooting.
After the battle started for a while, everyone no longer panicked at the beginning, and there was no more indiscriminate archery.
As the battle progressed, the group had developed a tacit understanding, and after the wolves began to pounce, the archers began to shoot when they reached the maximum killing radius of 30 meters.
The wolves that rushed to the front row all fell to the ground with arrows, and the wild wolves that followed rushed to the crowd when the archers could not react, and what awaited them was the spears sticking out from behind the shields.
The wolf, who thought that the raid was successful, opened his sharp teeth and bit it hard, but he hit a wall, was blocked by the shield, and then was stabbed by the spear.
After the fifth wave of the wolf pack's charge, it left more than 10 corpses on the ground, and many more were injured.
Although there is no leader of the head wolf, the wolf is not stupid, and after a few waves, it was found that the light was dead, and not even a single hair of the enemy was bitten, and the wolf pack no longer needed the leader of the head wolf to consciously stop attacking.
Wang Tian and the others did not take advantage of the victory to attack, but also stopped to trim and retrieve the arrows from the body of the wolf corpse that fell in front of them.
Wang Tian also took the opportunity to look for stones that could be used, he was going to try the power of the sling, the arrows he carried today were very sufficient, but he also had to have a sense of worry, no matter how many arrows there were, there was a time to shoot out.
What's more, the current wolves have withdrawn from the attack range of bows and arrows, and there is no way for bows and arrows to shoot them, but slings can.
There are all kinds of stones that can be used, and these ammunition that don't need to be made are not burdensome to fight.
The sling, in fact, is more used for defense or to launch a surprise attack, because if it is used for attack, no one will stand stupidly and let you fight.
Wang Tian began to spin the rope, because with everyone's protection on the left and right sides, he didn't have to worry about the wolves suddenly attacking, on the contrary, if the wolves stopped attacking, everyone would be helpless.
The lack of experience, the lack of tacit cooperation, and the fact that the number of wolves is not dominant compared to the group of wolves makes Wang Tian and them dare not rashly launch an active attack.
Wang Tian counted carefully, the number of wild wolves that could be seen at the scene, there were about twenty or so, plus the dozen or so that were shot on the ground, it was estimated that the total number of wolves in the entire pack was about forty.
This number of wolves clashed with yesterday's herd of nearly thirty wild boars, and it is no wonder that the wolves did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, but instead took the first wolf into it.
It's just that I don't know which side is the culprit who provoked the incident, and it may be the same as today's situation, the wild boar herd inadvertently broke into the territory of the wild wolf pack, and then the conflict between the two sides broke out.
If this is the case, this group of wolves is also down to the blood mold, and they have been hit by people one after another, if this group of wolves can't be wiped out today, it will be very troublesome later.
The crowd and the wolves confronted each other so quietly again, the crowd did not speak, and the wolves did not howl, a situation that Wang Tian did not want to see now.
He had to provoke the wrath of the wolves and make them attack again, and after destroying some of the living forces, he could only take the initiative with the existing numbers on his side.
After making up his mind, the slings that had been thrown up had already been released, and a "cannonball" flew out, after which only a screaming sound was heard.
The first actual battle of the slinging rope was successful, and then Wang Tian showed his might, with an average of two shots being able to hit every five shots, which disturbed the entire wild wolf pack.
The sound of whining and whining sounded from time to time, this group of unlucky wolves is also unfavorable, lost their leader yesterday, and today they were bullied to the door by these two-legged sheep, even if they can't beat them, these people are still dead and don't leave.
The wolves retreated step by step, hoping to retreat to a safe distance, but because of the existence of bows and arrows, the wolves retreated, and everyone advanced, and after the wolves found that everyone left the gable, they launched a counterattack again, but after a volley, they threw down 5~6 corpses again.
After such a repeated tug-of-war, the momentum of the two sides waned one after another, and Wang Tian felt that the time had come to launch a full-scale counteroffensive.
He keeps the crowd in a round, back-to-back lineup, and then moves around each other to collect the arrows that have been fired and nailed to the wolf corpses, stocking up on ammunition for the final counterattack.
In the final counterattack, there will be no need to care about the waste of arrows, and full firepower will be carried out, non-stop shooting, as the shield of the defense, will be reduced from the current five, to three, to strengthen the coverage of the bow and arrows.
Defense is for offense, and if the offense is in good shape, it can also provide defense, and there is no clear boundary between offense and defense.
In the subsequent counterattack launched by the tribe, the number of people holding shields to defend was repeatedly reduced, and when the last shield bearer also asked to put down his shield to join the battle, Wang Tian shook his head decisively.
First of all, there was no need anymore, the remaining dozen or so wolves were shot one after another in the counteroffensive launched by the big guys, and the last remaining five or six, seeing that there was no hope of victory, fled far away.
The second is that the eggs cannot be put in one basket, and at all times must be prepared with both hands, and it is not advisable to completely only attack without defense, and the more favorable the wind, the more sober the commander must be.
After the battle, Wang Tian and the other three were in charge of guarding to prevent the fleeing wolves from killing them again, and the remaining seven people began to clean up the battlefield.
Amid the enthusiastic and confident cheers of the warriors, a total of 26 wolf corpses were counted, which means that nearly 15 wolves escaped from the battle just now.
For the fleeing wolves, Wang Tian has no way to chase them, a two-legged one can never outrun a four-legged one, Wang Tian doesn't care about this, he never cares about things that can't be done.
It can be said that this is the first time that the tribe has challenged the wolves, and it is still a battle on the territory of the wolves.
This also gave Wang Tian great confidence in the face of all possible and more powerful enemies in the future, and it was not unreasonable for the ancient Chinese royal family to use hunting as a form of military exercise.
After clearing the battlefield, the arrows were redistributed, the hand drill was taken out to take out the firearms, the grass was ignited, and the fires were set at the gates of the wolf's dens.
Then he used stones and soil to suppress the flames to produce thick smoke, and the smoke was poured into the various entrances and exits of the wolf's den, and for a while, the entire wolf mountain was full of smoke.
It seems that the entire wolf's den is covered with stone mountains in all directions, and it is impossible for the tribesmen to destroy this wolf nest.
Just as everyone was about to extinguish the flames and retreat, a group of fluffy she-wolves burst out of one of the caves again.
It let out a roar and leaped into the air to pounce on the nearest warrior, its white teeth curling into the human's throat......
