Chapter 658: The Battle of the Four Clans (Medium)
There was no so-called divine dragon appearance, which greatly boosted the morale of Qianghu, and the large army rushed towards the dragon leader.
The three small tribes were particularly enthusiastic.
According to the previous agreement, after defeating the dragon leader, the four tribes divided the spoils equally, and the most powerful brute bull was responsible for the first wave of attacks, and the three small tribes took advantage of it. Now that the Brute Bull has fulfilled its promise, the three leaders understand that they should let the tribal warriors go up without anyone reminding them. If you are still hiding behind at this time, you will be kicked out of the game.
The Brute Bull is a big tribe, and it is not something that can be fooled by them.
Moreover, although the four families share the trophy equally, there is an appointment in advance, but the quality of the trophy is inevitably different, the value of the ewe and the ram is different, and the old horse and the pony choose which one is more cost-effective, I believe that no one will be confused. The loot distribution plan is only a general framework, and there is a lot to be done in the specific operation, and the early people are sent to choose the loot can also take the lead.
Seeing the three patriarchs rushing to the front line like hungry dogs, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Wu Shuai's mouth.
They are all guys who can't take a step when they see the benefits, short-sighted, narrow-minded, and only thinking about the real benefits of the dragon leader, and they can't achieve big things. But then again, if it weren't for the greed of these guys, I am afraid they would not dare to follow him to risk attacking the dragon leader. The Hetao is not a good place, and small tribes have their own sorrows of small tribes, and survival is the top priority. The second big thing is to find ways to increase the strength and annex the weak, otherwise sooner or later it will be swallowed up by other tribes. The three leaders rushed to the dragon leader in high spirits, presumably already expecting how much benefit they could reap.
Wu Shuai knew that the dragon collar was a piece of fat, but he valued the intangible wealth brought by breaking the dragon collar more.
plotting to attack the dragon leader, "Qianghu honor" is just an excuse.
The Zhehan tribe was shattered, and the Manniu tribe became the largest Xiongnu tribe in the south-central part of the Hetao, but compared with the large tribes of the Qiang and Xianbei people, the Manniu tribe did not have any capital to boast of, and sometimes had to bow their heads.
After the Han Dynasty, the vitality of the Xiongnu was greatly damaged, and it was no longer the majestic wind of the year, and the strength of various ethnic groups in the Hetao area was compared, and the Xiongnu ranked last among the nomads. The suppression of the Xiongnu by the Xianbei and Qiang persisted, the most obvious example of which was that the Xiongnu were not prone to large tribes, and the Xiongnu tribes grew to a certain extent, and were usually besieged for various reasons, or were directly exterminated, or forced to break down into several small and medium-sized tribes.
The Xianbei and Qiang people don't want a big Xiongnu tribe to appear!
The scale of the Brute Bull Department is already very close to the safety red line, which makes Wu Shuai worried.
Pretending to compete with the Zhehan tribe and moving the tribe from the central part of the Hetao to the south was an attempt by the commander to change his life. The Xianbei and Qiang forces were mainly in the central and northern parts of the Hetao, and the southern part of the Hetao was relatively small, so it was relatively safer to move the tribes to the south, and if necessary, they could turn enemies into friends with the Zhehan tribe to protect themselves.
Few people know that the hostility between the Jehan tribe and the barbarian cattle tribe is actually an illusion.
The one who proposed the plan was Xi Shuai, the leader of the Huns known as the Fox of the Prairie, who was indeed very wise.
But the Jehan tribe no longer exists, and Xishuai is dead.
When the dragon cavalry raided the camp of the Zhehan tribe, the barbarian cattle tribe was still on the way to migrate and could not help.
The encounter of the Zhehan Department was even more shocking to Wu Shuai: the fall of the Zhehan Department seemed to be because it provoked the dragon leader, and it had nothing to do with the Xianbei and Qiang people, but more than 2,000 Han cavalry attacked north for 800 miles, and pursued it all the way to the hinterland of the Hetao. It's not enough to chase and kill once, but it didn't take long to make a comeback and succeed?
The destruction of the Zhehan tribe is more like the result of the Xianbei and Qiang people's deliberate connivance with the Han cavalry!
Afterwards, the Qiang and Hu tribes were furious and threatened to step on the dragon collar, but the Xianbei and Qiang people did not really make a move.
It is unlikely that the dragon leader colluded with Qianghu, but it is likely that he inadvertently became a knife in the hands of someone else.
Wu Shuai knew that he had to do something, otherwise the next thing that would happen was the Brute Bull Department.
In the end, he decided to carry on Xishuai's legacy and attack the dragon leader. Increase the prestige of the Barbarian Cattle Department in the Qianghu to protect themselves, and then seek greater development, just like Xi Shuai's thinking at that time. Compared with the intermittent survival of the Brute Bull Division, it doesn't matter whether he has more or less loot, as long as he breaks the Dragon Collar, his prestige in the Hetao will climb to the peak, and it will be more difficult for any tribe to deal with the Brute Bull Division.
This is a battle that cannot be lost, so Wu Shuai is willing to offer such generous conditions to find someone to cooperate. Although it is the four tribes joining forces, the greatest glory is destined to fall on the head of the Barbarian Bull Division, and strength determines the status.
So far, it's going well.
The three leaders were anxious to grab the spoils, and the military commander knew it well and was happy to see it.
Suddenly there was a "puff" sound in front of him, and then he heard the neighing of the horses and the shouts of the cavalry, the screams were full of terror, some of the Qianghu cavalry were caught off guard and fell to the ground, some quickly got up, and some wailed and screamed under the trampling of many horses' hooves.
"What's going on?"
"What the hell?"
"Oh my God!"
……
Wu Shuai's heart tightened, and he ordered the guards to come forward to investigate.
But he soon called the guards back, because he saw what was happening in the field.
The troops were marching in the melon field, not far in front of Wu Shuai, a watermelon lying on the ground cracked on its own with a "poof", and then more than a dozen black, round things emerged around the cracked melon, the size of a baby, and it was not very clear in the night.
The dozen or so little things didn't stop, "babbling" and screaming, staggering straight towards the nearby Qianghu cavalry. A few small things just walked towards Wu Shuai, and the round little guy was wearing sharp armor, like a soldier, walking to the side of the war horse and waving a knife to cut it. They are very small, and the weapons in their hands are as small as toys, but a few more slashes will also see blood, and the war horses are both frightened and painful, and it is strange not to go crazy.
Melon soldiers!
In just a few breaths, dozens of melon soldiers by the river came out, and the Qiang Hu cavalry cut them down. The Qianghu cavalry didn't know why, and they were so frightened that they were scared one by one, but it was impossible for the melon soldiers to kill them, and they trembled and bowed down and waved their swords to resist.
handed it over, only to find that the strength of these little melon soldiers was not very good.
Compared with the big sabre of the cavalry, the contrast between the small black knife of the melon soldiers is somewhat strong, and they are staggered by the cavalry swords, and some of the melon soldiers can't even keep the small black knives, so they are shocked and fly out, and stand there with their bare hands and are cut by the cavalry. That is, the quality of the armor of the melon soldiers is okay, and it has not disintegrated after being chopped down.
Of course, the melon soldiers were summoned by Peigua.
This melon field is part of the Dragonling's defense system.
After the battle of the frog dragon was over, Xu Shu felt that the dragon leader's defense system needed to be strengthened urgently, and he deliberately recruited Pei Gua to the Dragon Collar because he took a fancy to Pei Gua's magic ability. Longling is located on the bank of the Diyuan River, and planting melons on the river beach will not arouse suspicion, which can not only provide fruits for the villagers of Longling, but also send some surprises to the incoming enemies at critical moments. Although the yield of melon fields has declined because of the climate of the Hetao, the fruit is only an incidental harvest, and the military role is the greatest value of the existence of melon fields.
After settling in the deer collar, he had no worries about food and clothing, and he was in a happy mood, and his cultivation of the technique of Peigua was refined.
Summoning melon soldiers directly from melon seeds in the melon field was a breakthrough he made after fighting the water thieves in Ba County. After moving to Hetao, in order to ensure his own safety, Peigua also figured out the skill of remote control command melon soldiers, the farthest remote control distance is only about three miles, but it can allow him not to be in the dangerous battlefield as before, which is a dream result for Peigua, who is timid and afraid of death.
Now Pei Gua is following Xu Shu, staying in a safe territory, and receiving an order to launch melon soldiers again.
"Uncle Pei, how long can the melon soldiers you summoned last?" Yu Buzhi, who had just met Xu Shu, asked.
He knows that the melon soldiers are a very important part of the defense system, and when normal people first make those small melon soldiers, they will inevitably be a little panicked, and the small melon soldiers are obviously not normal existences. But this trick is easy to goof, and the mana infused by the melon soldiers will show its original form when it is exhausted, and the mana consumption rate will be increased after being continuously attacked, so how long it can last is particularly crucial.
"My lord, it's hard to say."
"How long the melon soldiers can hold depends mainly on how strong the attack is......"
Peigua closed his eyes and replied that the most difficult part of remote control was how to maintain his sense with the melon soldiers, and closing his eyes and meditating significantly improved his sensing ability.
Another difficulty is mana consumption control, remote control of melon soldiers is not only a heavy mental burden, but also consumes more mana. With Peigua's current cultivation, there are more than 300 melon soldiers that can be summoned and effectively controlled by his side, and the number of melon soldiers remotely controlled is greatly reduced, and the farther away he is, the more he will fall. For example, now, in the melon field controlled by the dragon leader three miles away, there are only more than twenty melon soldiers he can accurately control, which is less than one-tenth of the upper limit, and the mana consumption is even higher.
Yu Buzhi frowned: "The Qianghu cavalry is level 60, and the melon cutting soldiers are estimated to be like cutting vegetables, I'm afraid it won't last long." ”
Xu Shu opened his mouth and said: "Don't worry, Uncle Pei has summoned a lot of melon soldiers, and he will be summoned again if he is blown up." The melon soldiers are mainly to create chaos among the Qianghu people, to buy us more time, and if we come coldly, the Qianghu cavalry will have to be frightened for a while, so that we can gradually eat the enemy close to the stronghold, and we didn't expect the melon soldiers to output much damage. ”
Yu Buzhi sighed: "Also, Yuan Zhi's plan is to try to lure the Qianghu cavalry to approach the dragon leader in batches before the general attack begins, so that we can capture some more war horses......"
This is where the pain in the absence of the cavalry lies.
For the current dragon leaders, the Qianghu attack is an excellent opportunity to catch the war horse, but the two-legged infantry can't outrun the four-legged cavalry, so it's best to lure the stronghold to fight. At the beginning, it is easy to scare the Qianghu cavalry away if it is too fierce, but there are so many troops in the stronghold, there is a gap between the strength of the territorial troops and the Qianghu cavalry, and if you put too many cavalry in, you will not be able to get rid of it, and you must carefully control the battle process.
However, Qiang Hu is not a fool, the nomadic cavalry is the best at seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and sooner or later he will find that he is not playing, and when the time comes, the eagle will fly away, and the dragon leader will now have no cavalry available, so he can only watch Qiang Hu go away. Although the dragon leader is saved, the plan to catch the horse by war will also come to an end.
Yu Buzhi has a big appetite recently, but the conditions offered by Yu Ye are impossible to refuse, and he sent the cavalry out to save the god and led him to agree with a nod, to be honest, I was not sure whether the Qiang Hu cavalry would come to visit, and there was no reason not to eat the fat sent to the door on a rainy night. Later, it affected the income of this war horse, and no one complained about it.
The Qianghu cavalry tried their best to destroy, and the wooden walls of the dragon collar gradually appeared.
The Panshi battalion had been prepared for this for a long time, and did not desperately plug the gap to prevent the Qianghu cavalry from entering, and retreated.
The Qianghu cavalry thought that the passage had been opened, urged the horses to enter, endured the spears and spears on both sides and rushed forward to kill, and was blocked by the rejected horses in a few steps, feeling as if they had entered the urn city, and they could not enter and retreat. The spearmen and archers of the dragon-collared spearmen and archers who were lying in ambush in front and on the flanks would be polite and attack them in groups......
When encountering the harder Qianghu warriors under his hands, the Panshi Battalion couldn't take it for a while, and there were also special receptions, and more than ten transferred generals led by Liu Chun did not do much to beat up the single Qianghu warriors. If the transfer of military generals does not go well, the number one thug of the garrison stationed in Hetao is very happy to go out and move his muscles.
The captives followed Zhao Yun to attack, but Qu Chen stayed.
Qu Chen is an iconic figure in the Flying Fish Territory, and it is better not to mix with the rescue player territory, and there is Zhao Zilong, a guest fierce man who can do it for him, and all the cavalry has been sent out, so the Divine Soldier Leader should be very satisfied. Qu Chen once had the experience of commanding the Rock Battalion, and after creating the Broken Cavalry, he had unparalleled prestige in the army, even if he didn't make a move, the morale and confidence of the Rock Battalion were very different.
Xu Shu carefully controlled the course of the battle.
More than 4,000 foot soldiers met tens of thousands of Qiang Hu cavalry, using various conditions to drag the opponent and induce the enemy to fight in the way they wanted, which was the most terrifying thing about the king-level strategists.
Such a situation is mainly due to the fact that the dragon leader has a clear foresight of the Qianghu attackers, and has made targeted long-term preparations, and the high degree of compatibility between the melon soldiers and the legend of the dragon leader is also an important reason, coupled with Xu Shu's extraordinary control and judgment, so that the dragon leader's offensive and defensive battles always seem to be in a delicate balance, and it seems that the Qianghu people can completely destroy the stubborn resistance of the defenders with a little more effort.
No amount of meticulous planning can be flawless.
The melon soldiers are an important means to drag down the Qianghu army, and the psychological deterrence is greater than the actual combat power, but when the Qianghu found that the melon soldiers were not too threatening, the psychological deterrence was impossible to talk about, and the efficiency of eliminating the melon soldiers became higher and higher, making the mana consumption rate of the melon more than expected.
The Qianghu principals seem to have sensed that their side has been refueling, and the rear brigade of cavalry has been engaged in battle.
Xu Shu had to settle for the next best thing.
It is no longer practical to pursue the maximization of booby trap capture, and we must do our best to solve the enemy who has fallen in.
