Chapter 49: Heads-up
Xiong missed the details of Long Qiupeng's arrangement of the siege battle because he set off early, so after fighting the positional battle with Naqi, he heard about the siege battle from Lu for the first time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, when he heard about it, he found out that in fact, Long Qiupeng and Lu did not choose which tactic to choose in the end. He was a little drumming in his heart, feeling that this battle might not work.
But Long Qiupeng didn't show any dissatisfaction, because when he got there, Xiong must have understood. Because the opponent's main force has almost been wiped out today, the remaining people can't affect the outcome of the battle at all, change the siege method, just to find a balance between casualties and efficiency according to the actual situation.
In fact, the difference between the two plans is that the other party still has how many archers defend the city. If there are more archers, and the focus is on defending the city gate, and Long Qiupeng does not have engineering vehicles, when the time comes, waves of people will go up to die, and they may not be able to crash into the door. At this time, it is better to set fire to the city in large numbers, and then besiege them and fight a war of attrition.
But after all, this is the first time that Long Qiupeng has returned to the primitive society to fight the battle of the city, and some things he doesn't want to say are particularly full, and how can he really attack the city and get the day after tomorrow, so there will be a chance to observe it up close tomorrow night, and it will be completely too late to settle these things when the time comes.
In the end, he looked at the bear and only said: "Everyone has worked hard today, let's rest early, and the next battle will be even harder." Although Xiong didn't quite understand what Long Qiupeng meant, the first two times because of Yi's matter, he also had some self-knowledge about himself, so he didn't delve into it.
There was no objection to the siege, so they rested one after another. After that, the march was a smooth day, and nothing special happened.
Long Qiupeng led the troops of the Long tribe on the third day, according to the original plan, to the outskirts of the Qiutu tribe, and from a distance, he saw someone on the other side standing on the city gate as if waiting for their arrival.
Looking at it from a distance, Long Qiupeng felt that that person was not Naqi. However, this did not affect him, he just followed his own plan, as soon as the walls of the hill tribe came into his range, he asked the archers to set up their positions and make them look ready to shoot.
He didn't do this in a hurry, but to see how the other party planned to respond.
The axe soldiers behind the bow and arrow array are actually ready, just waiting for the archers on the wall of the hill tribe, if they can bear it, they can attack the city.
Long Qiupeng stood on the ox cart and looked at the person on the city gate without saying a word, although he couldn't see it clearly, he was basically sure that the other party was a young man of the same age or older than himself.
That person also looked at this side, stood for a long time, and seeing that Long Qiupeng didn't mean to move at all, he suddenly raised his scepter, and then threw it outside. Then he shouted, "Leader of the Dragon Clan, I ask for a matchup!" ”
As soon as these words were issued, Long Qiupeng's clansmen all took the offensive and looked at him.
He was a little confused, forgetting for a moment the meaning of the battle, and just stared blankly at the scepter that had been thrown on the ground.
Yi leaned over to him from one side and said, "You can choose not to accept it, we will continue to fight ......"
Hearing Yi's voice, Long Qiupeng remembered that Yi had told himself before that this was one of the main ways of primitive warfare, to put it bluntly, it was to pick out a person from both sides to fight alone, and generally this person was the leader.
At that time, when he knew that there was still this kind of fighting method, Long Qiupeng still felt a little incredible, which stupid hat would give up his war advantage and agree to the other party's heads-up and one-game decision requirements.
But when it really happened, he realized what an irresistible reason it was. At this time, everyone looked at themselves, and if they refused this request, it would be tantamount to admitting it. In primitive societies, it is not a joke for the leader to admit cowardice, and soon someone more courageous than himself will stand up and take his place.
Long Qiupeng no longer hesitated, he said something in Yi's ear, and jumped down from the ox cart at once, walked a few steps in the direction of the city gate alone, and then shouted: "Come down!" I'm waiting for you here! ”
With Long Qiupeng's words, the clansmen of the Long clan burst into cheers behind them.
Okay, isn't it hand-to-hand combat? Long Qiupeng thought as he pulled out the short knife from his waist, anyway, he has trained a lot over the past few days, and he has gained a lot of actual combat experience, and there is nothing particularly terrible.
He stood there for a while, observing the situation around him, and at last the gate of the Hill tribe opened, and the man who had been standing on the door came over.
His dress was still much worse than that of an ordinary soldier, but when he saw the legs, Long Qiupeng found that he had a pair of leggings, which looked like hardwood or copper plates.
It seems that Naqi came back safely and told this person the secret of the Dragon tribe's victory in melee combat.
The other party opened his mouth and said something, Lu and Yi were both watching the battle from a distance, Long Qiupeng could only rely on his own accumulation to distinguish the other party's words, he should have introduced himself, as if he was calling himself a mountain. It seems that either there is a mountain near this tribe, or they have migrated from a place where they are close to the mountain. Their names have something to do with them.
"Long Qiupeng!" Although Long Qiupeng felt that he was not afraid of him, but the previous battles and marches had caused his physical strength to be far more than that of the mountains, so at this time, he just wanted to fight quickly, and he didn't want to fight. So before the introduction was over, Long Qiupeng put on a posture of preparing for battle.
The mountain saw that Long Qiupeng was not polite, so he opened the posture, and the heads-up was the beginning. The two of them fought for a while, and they couldn't tell the winner for a while.
The onlookers didn't notice it, but Qiu Peng, who was the person concerned, quickly felt abnormal. The mountain must have been instructed by Nagi, so the horse was quite well-tied, and his body was much more stable than his soldiers. In addition, Long Qiupeng was a little jealous of the hard board on his legs, so he didn't dare to get too close to him, for fear that if the other party kicked on his legs, his legs would be wasted. Therefore, if the opponent struggles to attack, Long Qiupeng should be relatively difficult.
But the mountain doesn't, and as soon as the two of them come into contact, he will retreat. Long Qiupeng also thought that the other party was powerless to fight at first, and only chased in stages. But when he got closer, he pushed the mountain and found that the mountain was still standing there solidly.
He didn't get cheap, so he naturally adjusted his posture and gave priority to defense. But as long as he has the slightest intention of retreating, the other party will show his flaws and let Long Qiupeng attack.
So, when Long Qiupeng looked around, he found that the two of them moved in the direction of the city gate in this kind of scuffle. The people of the Long tribe were enthusiastic when they saw it, and they felt that their leader was going to win, but Long Qiupeng felt that something seemed wrong.
Long Qiupeng was in a trance, and was rubbed on his arm by the axe in the mountain's hand, although he barely dodged it, but the whole person rolled on the ground, and finally knelt on one knee. Shan Chengsheng pounced and wanted to kill Long Qiupeng with an axe, but Long Qiupeng took advantage of the situation and fell, and then kicked Shan's stomach with his legs, pushing the whole person behind him.
The mountain's protective gear wore more than Long Qiupeng, and although it was safe, it was also heavier, so although Long Qiupeng needed to turn around, he still stood up before the mountain. The two men faced each other again, but this time the positions were reversed.
Long Qiupeng stood up and threw himself towards the mountain, but the mountain did not back down this time, and he used his axe to block Long Qiupeng's shield attack. Long Qiupeng raised the short knife and was about to slash at the mountain, but the mountain stretched out his foot and swept it towards Long Qiupeng's leg. Long Qiupeng didn't dare to resist, and jumped back to dodge.
He thought that the mountain would take the opportunity to attack, but the mountain turned around again, returned to its original position, and then retreated while fighting, leading Long Qiupeng in the direction of the Qiutu tribe.
In this way, the two were entangled for a while, and the mountain suddenly pushed Long Qiupeng, turned around and ran.
Long Qiupeng ran forward a few steps, and suddenly jumped back, and almost at the same time, an arrow was inserted into the ground where Long Qiupeng was standing.
In an instant, an arrow flew from the Dragon Clan's position to a corner of the hill tribe's city wall, and then a scream came from the direction where the arrow flew. The corners of Long Qiupeng's mouth rose, but Shan looked at where he stood in a daze.
"Didn't you say heads-up? Put the cold arrow, you are so capable! "In fact, Long Qiupeng had already instructed Yi that once he entered the range of the other party, he should pay close attention to the movement on the city wall, because he was afraid that the dogs of the Qiutu tribe would jump over the wall in a hurry and release cold arrows.
Then the mountain never faced it head-on, dodging and dodging led Long Qiupeng in the direction of the hill tribe, he guessed the intention of the mountain, and the mountain turned around and ran away was almost a signal to release the arrow. Long Qiupeng only pretended to chase the mountain, but he was just luring the other party to release arrows and expose the target.
Sure enough, the other party was fooled, not only did he not shoot Long Qiupeng, but he also exposed himself and was killed by Yi with an arrow. The people of the Dragon Clan were enraged, and they all rushed forward with their weapons held high.
As soon as Shan saw that the assassination had been revealed, he raised his head to the sky and roared, and then raised his axe to Long Qiupeng again. This time, he tried his best and knocked Long Qiupeng, who was in a defensive state, back a few steps.
But this advantage almost only lasted for a moment, Long Qiupeng, who stood firm, stretched out his leg and kicked the leg tied to the shin guard board of the mountain, he was unstable, one leg knelt on the ground, and before he could stand up hard, Long Qiupeng hit it with his body, and the mountain fell to the ground.
With the last knife, Long Qiupeng wiped it on the neck of the mountain, and in an instant, the blood splattered, and he died.
He stood up from the carcass of the mountain, by which time the other dragon warriors had reached the tribe's gate, and the deer and bear had come to his side. The deer tried to check on his injuries, but he shook his head.
The door didn't open as everyone expected, but Long Qiupeng didn't feel surprised, the moment the Qiutu tribe broke the rules, it was decided that they didn't want to admit defeat at all. Behind all the seemingly gentlemanly actions are countless murderous motives.
Obviously, this Qian Naqi's handiwork can do such a thing, if their leader doesn't trust Naqi 100%, or now this tribe is controlled by Naqi at all.
"Don't wait......" Long Qiupeng said to Xiong and Lu, he knew that not only would the door not open by itself, but even if it did, there should be a war waiting for them in the future.
