Volume 5 Chapter 40 The Crimson Dawn
"Woo! Woo! Woo! ”
The distant and desolate sound of the bull's horn pierced the cold sky in the early morning
A round of red sun gradually emerged from the top of the East Mountain, the morning mist slowly disappeared one by one, and the distant sky was dyed with a fiery red color, and then spread all over the sky, everything seemed to be bathed in a faint blood light!
Ji Fa, like the other Dongyi people, was gradually infected by this majestic scene and the desolate sound of the horn, and his expression was solemn, but some unknown emotions in his body began to brew, ferment, and flow.
After a few miles ahead, the Dongyi soldiers who fought in front of them saw bursts of rumbling drums suddenly from the edge of the dense forest in front of them, and the voices of the people were crowded, and then a group of Shang Dynasty troops came out of the dense forest in a hurry, and lined up in front of the Dongyi army with Changge in hand.
At this time, the front troops of the Dongyi soldiers who had been prepared immediately transmitted the news back to the large army, and then led the Dongyi tribe army by the leaders, slowly suppressing the team, and it was a coincidence that the two armies were very different from the style of silent shouting and killing as soon as they met the day before yesterday, and the two sides stared at each other and shouted trumpets with tacit understanding, and confronted each other several miles apart.
At this scene, Ji Fa, who had never participated in a large-scale battle at this time, also figured out what was going on, and there was no doubt that the battle process at this time was originally like this.
If there is a disparity in the strength of the two sides, the winning side does not need to assemble the brigade directly, and the spoils of war can be collected directly and returned triumphantly, whether it is the booty or slaves obtained can be directly owned by the victorious soldiers, if the two sides are equal, then wait until the end of the temptation, and then recruit friends and companions to gather a large army to come again, so that there is a result three times twice.
I have to say that the form of war at this time is really simple, Ji Fa can find something like this every time, and he will always sigh like this every time, not to mention, it is really uncomfortable.
Now that the two sides have met, the Dongyi tribal army began to slowly separate from the columns composed of the previous tribes, lined up in a horizontal long line under the leadership of the leaders, and organized into a team with both long-range lethality and rear impact, and looked at each other from a distance where the Shang Dynasty army could clearly see each other.
Not only that, if the gaze can kill the other party, at this moment, I am afraid that the soldiers in the front row of the merchant army and the Dongyi army in front of the two armies will not know how many will die.
For the Shang Dynasty army, these Dongyi are all anti-thief characters, barbaric and rude, disobedient to indoctrination, from time to time to invade the Yang Empire, they should be killed and then quickly, and their people will never be slaves and cannot turn over!
And for the Dongyi army, these merchant soldiers are all vampires as brutal and unkind as Di Xin, who do not produce, rob our people of money and food for pleasure, rob our people of slavery and service, even so, they kill at every turn, new hatred and old hatred, many years of old grudges, it is no longer a single word of hatred can be described, naturally in addition to killing all or killing all!
So when the confrontation was far away, the two sides had not yet moved, but the earth-shattering murderous aura had already spread between the two armies.
At this time, Ji Fa chose a slightly higher position at the back of the team and looked coldly at the Shang Dynasty army in the distance. At a glance, there was a crowd of people on the opposite side, stretching for about several miles. And in the dense forest behind the team, there was a faint sound of beasts from time to time, and I don't know if it was some unknown beast that was startled by those merchant troops or something else.
Although it is impossible to accurately estimate the exact number of people, there are at least 60,000 or 70,000 people gathered on both sides in the plain area of dozens of miles along the Huaishui River.
The numbers of the two sides are roughly equal so far, but the difference is still clear.
Although there are some subtle differences in clothing and appearance on the merchant side, what is very different from the last time the two sides made a tentative contact is that in general, most of the merchant soldiers are completely clothed except for half of the naked shoulders, except for the upper body from shoulder to waist, which is also obliquely wrapped in a layer of black animal skin-like wide belt, and the same is true for the arms and thighs, which is the standard merchant animal skin armor. In his hand is either a unified standard Changge, or a spear and axe, and a small number of swords, looking at the brilliance reflected on the lightsaber, eighty percent is bronze.
On the other hand, on the side of the Dongyi tribe, whether it is the appearance of people's clothing or the types of weapons, it can be said that there are all kinds of things. Some were almost naked with only a rag wrapped around their hips, some were naked, some had some unknown bird feather stuck on their heads, some had a bird that looked like them, some had cinnabar on their foreheads, and some had white stripes all over their faces. The weapons in your hand are like ancient tools and museum exhibitions, from stone knives, stone axes, hammers, grinding sticks, swords, to long spears, ropes, fishing nets, slingshots, and almost everything!
The difference between a typical regular army and a pheasant army!
Although it is said that the people of Dongyi are fierce, brave and good at fighting, compared to other races, they can do the legendary one pick ten, but only from the perspective of equipment, it is really miserable.
But fortunately, the Dongyi people seem to be accustomed to the merchant army, and they don't show any fear, but they are all eager to try, and their morale is very strong.
But things have progressed to this point, even if you can't fight, you have to fight, you have to fight so hard, you have to work so hard for so long, isn't it just for the moment when you kill Chaoge?
Ji Fa looked up at the sky, the sky was already bright, and there was no dark cloud in the clear sky, and then looked at the team that still seemed a little chaotic despite the leader's shouting, sighed and shook his head, removing all kinds of distractions from his mind, and then turned his head to Shaofei, the general of the Jin clan who had been following him closely, and asked a few words in a low voice, and since then, he didn't say much, only clenched the long knife in his hand, and looked at the merchant army from awe again.
No matter what tricks Fei Lian has on the other side, or whether this battle is won or lost, everything is fearless!
This confrontation between the two sides did not wait long, and from a certain point on, the drums of the merchant army were beating in a hurry, and it seemed that more drums were added.
Knock knock!
Knock knock!
Knock knock knock!
Then the merchant army was heard shouting loudly
Kill!
The head of the person shook, the long Ge waved, and the sound shook the field!
The merchant army actually launched first, and it has already begun to rush towards the Dongyi army like a monstrous wave!
It's just that this situation was obviously expected by the Dongyi army, and almost at the same moment when the drums were rushing, the sound of horns, bone whistles, and sharp birdsong sounded one after another, and each one became more urgent than the other!
Woooooo
Chirp tweet!
The same crowd of people moved like another wave swept up by a hurricane, and the Dongyi army greeted it in all directions with a more violent posture than the other party.
Phew!
Kill!
……
The moment before the two torrents converged, when they were dozens of meters apart, countless dense arrows had broken away from the strings, and they shot towards the merchant army like a storm.
