Chapter 143: Shooting
The next morning, just after halfway through the ugly hour, Liu Zhuo gathered his army, and the army of 8,000 men marched in a hurry, and surrounded a dwarven force in the north of the city before dawn.
This force was led by Kikuchi, the younger brother of the Himiko clan, and was the smallest of the three, with less than 2,000 people. The island of Kyushu is now chaotic, with large forces of thousands and small forces of hundreds, large and small, scattered all over the island. There is also a dog slave country in the south of Kyushu Island, which has always disobeyed the orders of Yamatai.
The population density of Kyushu Island is relatively large, and the further north you go, the colder it becomes, and the living environment is harsh, and the population density of the dwarf country is more sparse.
As soon as the sky dawned, the Youzhou army of 8,000 people began to attack. The archers were ahead, slowly advancing in a neat queue.
The people of the dwarven kingdom still did not wake up in their dreams, and their kennels made of firewood and grass were scattered across the field.
"Whoosh" and the sound of arrows, with flames, the rocket drew a line of fire and shot at these grass nests. All of a sudden, the grass nest caught fire. Some of the dwarves who reacted quickly ran out, and before they could figure out what was going on, the sound of "whooshing" arrows came, and the dwarves who ran out had been killed by arrows.
There were also people who were caught on fire and ran out with flames on their bodies. It's all the same, come out and shoot one by one. The Youzhou army shot on one side, advanced inward on the other, and slaughtered in the firelight.
The army was advancing very quickly, and the encirclement was constantly compressing. Screams rang out one after another. At this time, the chaos outside, shouts, and screams woke up more dwarves and ran out one after another.
It's late, at this time, the Youzhou army has been compressed into a third, and the rest of the people are in a mess, what can they do?
The number of dwarves running out increased, and the density of the army's archery also increased.
Shoot, oh, slaughter, absolutely slaughter!
With a strong force against a weak enemy, coupled with a sneak attack, this product is not ordinary insidious, ruthless, and definitely not according to common sense.
The soldiers of the army don't care, the order above has only one word "kill", then kill! When you see an animal that can run, you will torture and kill it, and there is no ambiguity. Where can the thousands of people here prevent these armies armed to the teeth from being tortured and killed?
It's not been a long time, there aren't many people alive here, and there's not enough left to divide up.
It was getting dark, and as far as the eye could see, it was a mess. The bloody scene was disgusting, blood flowing slowly, and corpses were strewn all over the ground.
The movement here is so big, it is impossible for several forces of the dwarf country stationed outside the city gate not far away not to notice it at all, no, there are already people snooping in the distance, and after being discovered, they fled in panic.
The army pulled out the arrows and gathered them, Liu Zhuo divided 4,000 people, divided the army of 4,000 people into two, a team of 2,000 people, and let Xu Sheng and Jiang Qin lead the teams respectively to meet the enemy at the east gate and the west gate of the city.
Sure enough, half an hour later, a group of people from the dwarf kingdom came from the east gate of the city, and when you look at it, there are more than 1,000 people.
It turned out that the people who had come to spy before ran back and reported to their leader: "Report, my lord, Kikuchi's army has been surrounded by troops of unknown origin, and now it is in the process of fierce fighting. My lord, look at the outfit of these people, it doesn't look like a local person, please decide. ”
As soon as Fujiwara heard that it was not a local person, then it must be an enemy, so he sent more than a thousand people over to take a look and then said, "Well, I know, Noda-kun, you lead a thousand people over to take a look, and then Lord Ben will lead a large army to rush over." ”
"Yes, my lord, Ben will definitely teach these people a big lesson, let them know the majesty of their lordship." More than a thousand people swarmed forward, and they didn't weave any formation at all, and they looked chaotic.
The Youzhou army was in a neat formation, and they had already been waiting for this gang of people to come and find death.
Gradually, as they got closer, both sides saw each other's honor clearly. The soldiers of the Youzhou army were happy, and if it weren't for the strict discipline, someone would have laughed a long time ago.
The governor said that this island is called Dwarf Island, which is really not bad at all. Most of the people on the opposite side are about the same height, about 1.5 meters tall, some are thin, and they look like monkeys; There is a fat one, which looks like a dwarf winter melon. In short, it seems that the Youzhou army has come to Lilliputia.
The Youzhou army has distinct armor and is arranged in a battle formation, which is smashing and killing, and the momentum is overwhelming.
The dwarven army ran forward in a chaotic manner, and there were also better armed, wearing armor made of bamboo, holding knives in both hands, wearing clogs, taking small steps, shouting, probably "what a cock" or something, very brave.
Not to mention, this small broken step is very fast, and it will definitely not work if you take a big step, this clog will fall, I don't believe you can try it. These people are probably the pioneers of the samurai and the like in the future, some of them hold their swords in the center, and some of them hold their swords to the right, and it seems that there are also schools.
Most people wear a piece of fabric with a hole cut in the middle, put it on the head, and tie it with a straw rope around the waist. There are all kinds of weapons in their hands, some people have machetes in their hands, others have clubs in their hands, and they are all messy anyway.
The dwarven army entered the range of the bow and arrow, and the bows and arrows of the Youzhou army began to shoot. There are not many arrows that are fired, and they are specifically aimed at a part of the people who run in front. After the sound of bows and arrows, the dwarves running in front were still vigorous and beautiful just now, and they were about to kill under the admiring gaze of many dwarves. Now it's unlucky, the opponent's bow and arrow are specifically against these people, is the knife he is holding useful? It's still far from people's homes, and he was hit by an arrow with a "poof" and fell to the ground.
The people in front of them fell to the ground and died one after another, affecting the dwarves behind, and the frightened crowd slowly gathered together, forming a large group, huddled together and ran forward, shouting in their mouths that they couldn't understand anything, which was probably the same as in the later generations.
Okay, it's even worse now, except for the first two rows of the Youzhou army, the back part is all with bows and arrows, and the arrows are raised. A piercing sound of bows and arrows sounded, and I saw a dense rain of arrows in the sky, overwhelming the sky, drawing an arc and rushing into the dwarf crowd, falling straight overhead.
The greater the density of the crowd and the greater the density of the bow and arrow, the more people will die. After three rounds of arrows, the crowd of dwarves had already thinned out, and the rest of the people turned their heads and ran back, for fear of being shot to death if they ran slowly.
I can't run, I can't run the speed of the bow and arrow, the death continues, and the bow and arrow of the Youzhou army chase the dwarf and shoot behind him. The fleeing dwarves ran for their lives, their shoes ran away, and their weapons were thrown everywhere, and they couldn't take care of anything.
Of the more than 1,000 people under Fujiwara, it would be good to be able to run back to 500 people, but this is still the Youzhou army did not pursue, otherwise, it is difficult to say whether there are left.
