Chapter 118: The Strange Coalition of Tribes

"Pass the order of the alliance leader, and the first echelon will start attacking! Those who enter are born, and those who retreat are immediately killed! "The Yellow Tooth Huren, who is the front-line commander of the coalition forces, ordered.

After hearing his order, hundreds of Hu slave soldiers of the first attack echelon and a small number of Hu people from various tribes carried wooden shields and sacks full of dirt on their backs and rushed towards the trench in front of the east camp of the Xixiang Army.

Four full days have passed since the siege battle, under the frantic attack of the allied forces. The fortifications outside the walled city were badly damaged. Except for the antlered horses, which were not easily destroyed, the rest of the fortifications were destroyed. Even the trenches were filled in several places. If it weren't for the fact that at night Liu Wu organized the auxiliaries to desperately re-excavate. All the allied forces are now ready to fight the city.

Of course! The desperate attacks of the coalition forces have a price. The lives of more than 1,000 Hu slaves and a few Hu people were lost here. In fact, the Hu slave soldiers who did not have a high will to fight had already collapsed. During the four-day siege battle, there have been several incidents of broken Hu slave soldiers attacking the Hu people's warlords. However, this was suppressed by the Hu people in time.

Due to the huge casualties of the Hu slave soldiers, they were almost unable to bear the task of recovering the city. The adults of the allied forces had to weave some of the weaker Hu people into the sequence of the siege battle.

Brutal warfare is the best and fastest way to train soldiers. The same applies to the Hu people who are swarming in front of them. A few days ago, they didn't even know how to use their shields, and they would just stupidly rush desperately towards the trench with sacks on their backs, intending to quickly throw away the hot potato on their hands, ignoring the stray arrows above their heads and the stumbling pits and traps on the ground.

But now they are more proficient in using shields to defend against arrows. Even when passing through the gap of the deer antlers and horses, there will be a kind of shield array that is very funny in the eyes of the Xixiang army put forward by more than a dozen people, which is used to block the dense shooting of the Xixiang army. Although the shield array of the Hu people does not look good, it still has the effect of preventing arrows. At least the number of Hu people who died under the arrows of Saigo's short archers was gradually decreasing. And when it came to filling trenches, they actually learned to cooperate with each other. Two of them were responsible for holding wooden shields against stray arrows and gravel, and one was responsible for carrying sacks full of dirt on their backs. Throughout the siege battle, the number of casualties of the Hu people gradually decreased every day, but the efficiency of the siege gradually increased every day. Perhaps in a few days, the trench in front of Dongying Village will be completely filled, and the battle will end with the victory of the allied forces. Although they paid a heavy price.

War is brutal. But the big waves sweep the sand, and those who can survive the war are the elites. But some things can't be changed in a short period of time. For example......

"It's time! Let's go on a light attack! (Light soldiers, or lightly armed infantry, are the more flexible arms in the Xixiang Army, equipped with leather armor and ring-headed knives.) In battle, they lined up on both sides of the military formation. It is mainly responsible for defending the flanks of the army formation and chasing down the enemy. Looking at the tired Hu people who were already clearly showing their fatigue outside the wall, Liu Wu, who commanded the battle, decisively ordered.

Now the sun is slowly setting, and the group of Hu people in front of the walled city is already in the fourth echelon. If nothing else, after the attack of this echelon, the Hu people will withdraw their troops back to the battalion. At this time, these Hu people outside, their sense of battle was a little relaxed, and many of them only worked hard, and they didn't want to continue to work hard. In addition, in the past few days, the Xixiang Army has not sent troops out of the camp to attack them, and the Hu people subconsciously think that the Xixiang Army does not dare to go out of the camp. The current Hu people are very low on alert. Liu Wu just wanted to seize this opportunity, take advantage of the group of Hu people outside to relax their vigilance, and counterattack.

"Kill! Hack these dogs! "After putting down the drawbridge and opening the gate. Under the leadership of Liu Shi, more than 400 Xixiang light soldiers wearing leather armor and holding ring-headed knives rushed out.

Facing the wolf-like light soldiers of Saigo. Except for a small number of Hu people who were equipped with weapons and chose to resist, the rest of the Hu people and Hu slave soldiers chose to drop the sacks in their hands and fled directly. Maybe in the siege battle, they may be considered 'elite'. However, in the face of the specially trained and skilled short-handed soldiers of the Saigo Light Army, they could only choose to flee due to lack of equipment. However, the pursuit and killing of enemy troops is also a subject of training for the Saigo Light Soldiers. In this regard, they are veterans and experts in the Saigo Army.

"Alliance leader, good opportunity! Zhao Gou has already opened the gate of the village. They're killing themselves. Let's send the Raiders to attack it! Looking at the Dongying Zhai Gate that had been opened, Xi hurriedly suggested to Shesu.

"Idiot! There are so many antler-repelling horses ahead, and there are a lot of siege soldiers! The road is blocked. May I ask you, Lord Xibu, how do you get past your assault? As soon as Xi Bu finished speaking, he was immediately taunted by his nemesis, Dugu.

"Then do you want to let go of this good opportunity?" The seat just now was a little hot-headed and didn't take these factors into account. In order to preemptively perform well in front of Shesu, he said it directly without thinking about it. Now his head is slightly clearer. But in the face of a mortal enemy, he couldn't admit it, and still quibbled.

"Enough! Stop arguing! Dugu seemed to want to say something more, but was interrupted by Shesu on the side.

Du Gu, who was interrupted, was still a little unhappy, but Shesu's next words made Du Gu feel more refreshed.

After glancing at the seat in disgust, Shesu ordered: "It's getting late today, and it's not appropriate to fight again at night." Collect the troops and return to the camp! ”

After saying that, Shesu took the lead in retreating. The rest of the adults didn't want to fight anymore, so they followed Shesu and left. Left alone, Xi Bu stayed silent. In fact, as early as after the single-handedly defeat before the battle, the usually arrogant seat had already been blacklisted by Shesu and others. The current Xi Department has been isolated by the various departments of the allied forces.

……

"We fought well today, and we have improved significantly compared to before. The timing is great! After the war, Liu Ye patted Liu Wu's shoulder and praised him.

"Thank you Father Ji for your appreciation! This is all good taught by Ji's father. In fact, it is not as good as Father Ji said! Liu Wu touched his head and said humbly embarrassedly.

"Zixiong! Do you think that Hu Ren's behavior in the past few days is a little abnormal? After complimenting Liu Wu, Liu Ye continued to ask.

"When Father Ji said this, it seems that there is really such a little. These Hu people (i.e., the leaders) outside seem to have no regard for the morale of the troops and the physical strength of the soldiers, and forcibly attack! If this goes on for a long time, these Hu troops outside will collapse. They seem to be in a hurry to attack! Liu Wu thought for a while and said.

"Could it be that the backyard of these Hu people is on fire?" After Liu Wu finished speaking, Cui Xiao on the side guessed happily.

"Nope! They're trying to hold us back! Liu Ye said firmly. Afterwards, Liu Ye ordered to the attendants on the side: "Pass the order and order Beiying and Liyu City to enter the pre-war defense state!" The light cavalry strengthens patrols to guard against the sneak attack of the Hu people! ”

After the attendant received the order to leave, Liu Ye asked Cui Xiao, "Kangru, the current strength of the city is too small. Benjun is not at ease. What other pawn troops are there without a mission? ”

"No more! Now that Xixiang's martial arts have been evacuated, they all have tasks on their shoulders. There aren't any songs left idle! Cui Xiao recalled for a while, then shook his head and said.

Now there are more than 5,000 Hu people outside Dongying, and Xixiang's troops are very tight. The main warriors are already here.

"Nope! And an elite army! Just when Liu Ye was disappointed, a crisp voice sounded.
