Chapter Seventy-One: Preparation
The battle at Taniguchi was very fast, and dozens of cavalry were submerged by a large number of infantry, and they turned into dozens of corpses without even splashing the waves. The knight www.biquge.info of the deer clan rode on his horse very simply, and although he sat on it and staggered, his heart was also very excited.
Eagle Wars seized the time to have the Black Armor cut down trees to make a horse rejection. "Deer Patriarch, let you Deer Clan warriors help, Taizu said that the rejection of horses should not only be released in the valley, but also in the valley."
If you want to close the door and fight the dog, Taniguchi must be blocked, how many Hu people are outside the valley, there is no intelligence, and Luo Chuan does not dare to bet. Before the internal solution of the barren summer is completed, if the Hu people outside the upper valley are dealt with, the difficulty of this war will increase by dozens of times.
Now Luo Chuan is sitting on a tall horse, with more than 30 Hu people tied to a rope behind him. The rest of the warriors led two horses and slowly followed. It's not that the fighters don't want to ride, but they want to vomit as soon as they sit on it and shake it a few times.
"It's so uncomfortable, it's even more painful than being slashed twice, how can Taizu still be like a baby to these horses. Let's say two knives to death. Yu Guo's originally iron blue face, because he wanted to ride a horse just now, but he bumped twice and his face flushed. With the big knife he is now holding in his hand, Luo Chuan feels that this guy is becoming more and more like Guan Gong.
It is not for nothing that Luo Chuan dared to swagger so much, according to the time when the barracks were solved before, two herdsmen were attacked. The results of his gang of people definitely don't look like a small force attack. Coupled with the fact that Taniguchi was taken away, the most important thing for the Hu people to do was to shrink the people, defend the royal court, and then clench their fists to prevent a second sneak attack. Even if a small group of cavalry chased after them, it would not be enough for their own group of people to stuff their teeth.
In the court of the Hu people, the middle-aged Hu people and their young wives had not finished their foreplay before they were interrupted by a string of military reports.
"Dongying was attacked, Taniguchi was attacked, and three pastures were attacked. How many people did the other side dispatch? Did the Rangers reply to the letter? The middle-aged Hu people looked angry, but in fact, they had a deep fear in their hearts, and it was unknown how many Xia people from this abandoned land had dispatched tonight.
Several knights in the big tent bowed their heads and were silent, and there was a sudden report.
"The 2nd Ranger of the North, the body of the 1st Ranger was found. The first Ranger did not survive. ”
"Report, the second western ranger was attacked, and only one person was left to recover, and it is reported that the other party does not exceed ten people..."
"Report, the body of the second Ranger in the north was found, and no one survived."
There was not a moment of peace in the tent that night, and the useful information in it was masked by successive attack alarms, and finally the middle-aged Hu had to order, "All the rangers are recovered." The major ranches moved closer to the royal court as soon as possible. ”
The middle-aged Hu people are afraid, they are really afraid, how many people are in their own tribe, and there are more deaths tonight than in the big battle during the day today. And the other party's ruthlessness was far beyond his imagination, "Shouldn't the Xia people be like sheep?" If you don't go to fight them, you will hide at home and burn high incense, why are the Xia people here so terrifying. ”
In the Central Plains, they couldn't compete with other big tribes, and they originally thought that they could be kings and hegemons when they entered here, but with the abandoned land as their base camp, within twenty years, their tribes could also go to the Central Plains to get a piece of the pie. As a result, I realized that it was not what I imagined at all. Now the other party is not only retaliating, but now even the valley exit is occupied, and he wants to fight to the death.
"What to do." The middle-aged Hu people's anxious heart began to appear, and he thought of a way back for his clan. "Tomorrow gather all the warriors of the clan, as long as they can get on the horse, all of them will be dispatched. Besiege their cities first, and force them to negotiate with us. "The location of Deserted Summer City, don't blame the Hu people for thinking that it is the center of Deserted Summer. This strategic mistake directly led to the retaliation of the Hu army becoming useless.
The first city of Huangxia was already empty, and a few of the reserved tribes in the second city also burned their houses, and then all retreated into the inner city.
After retreating into the inner city, the Hu people were not out of the question, and the Hu people's strategy was to besiege the city, forcing Huangxia to recognize the status of the Hu people. Without the siege of the city, the Hu people would not have suffered a large number of casualties, and the catapults on the head of the city to defend against the giants were just decorations, and the Hu people were also very powerful, and they were thrown at the head of the city at high speed, and the city wall more than seven meters high could not stop this projectile at all. Every day, the inner city loses hundreds of soldiers.
All of the defenses in Deserted Summer City are aimed at the tall giants, and there is no useful countermeasure against these opponents who are also humans, and this feeling of being able to only take a beating and not fight back is really too bad. The morale of the entire Deserted Summer City was low for a while, if it weren't for the fact that the Yunyu Department would have hot air balloons entering the city every day to deliver news, it is estimated that the Deserted Summer City has collapsed, which is the terrible thing about the Hu people with high-speed mobile power.
"Eagle Patriarch, Taizu said that you just need to stick to it, and you don't have to worry about other things." Faced with the inquiries of several patriarchs, Yunchen said slowly and unhurriedly.
"Captain Yun has worked hard, please return to Taizu, with my Eagle Battle, there will be no problems in Deserted Summer City." The question of Eagle War is not whether it can be defended, at present, the Hu people are only besieged, and the real attack on the inner city is not large. The only concern is the collapse of the hearts of the people in the inner city, and that's what Eagle Wars has to do.
That night, the Hu People's Tent also held a military council. "Haha, sure enough, these Xia people are no different from the Xia people in the Central Plains, as long as their command center is besieged, there will be a mess below. Originally, I wanted to besiege them for a few days and negotiate with them, but since they were so careless, this negotiation was not necessary. ”
"Xian Yu begs, let those captured Xia craftsmen build siege weapons. Three days later the city was broken. The leader of the Hu people was suddenly arrogant, and his strategic policy had changed from the previous forced peace talks to the plundering of the city.
Don't you like night raids? Gather the cattle and sheep, and the cavalry will gather to see how you can sneak attack. I like to occupy the valley, I will knock down your city and give it to you, and the defenders of the valley without the city to support the valley are rootless.
At this moment, the Yunyu Department was extremely lively, with the patriarchs of various clans gathering and a large number of young warriors gathering. External threats are the best catalyst for integration, and all ethnic groups contribute to each other.
Hot air balloons are being made, and unlike the previous ones, they are larger, carry more loads, and they are no longer just moved by the wind, and a huge boiler is hung on it, and the boiler vent can be adjusted according to the operator's direction, and the large amount of hot air ejected can propel the hot air balloon.
In addition, there is still no progress in the individual crossbow, but the Xingtian Type 3 crossbow that Tao is responsible for has been completed.
The Xingtian Type III crossbow is still based on the principle of steam jet, and the crossbow body is two-thirds smaller than that of Type II, and two warriors can easily lift it. The crossbow box is a condensed essence of ancient craftsman technology. The crossbow box has been transformed into a bronze shell, and the W-shaped shrapnel inside it uses the steelmaking technology that the smelting team has just conquered. The crossbow arrows also varied, with bronze arrows measuring the thickness of a finger at twenty centimeters, and the arrows were also barbed with blood grooves. A crossbow box can hold more than 40 crossbow arrows, and under the drive of the optimized steam furnace, it can achieve a frequency of two rounds per second.
When the steam stove next to him began to emit white smoke, Luo Chuan excitedly pulled the trigger on the experimental target three hundred steps away. The first arrow of "Zheng Zheng Struggle" hit the wooden target smoothly, the second arrow, the third arrow, and the wooden target flew under the huge impact.
After shooting a crossbow box, Luo Chuan was still unsatisfied, and laughed, "Okay, Tao, you break down the drawings and start mass production, and in three days, we will entertain these guests with new guys." ”
