Section 217 Siege
() Crooked Tooth led thousands of fierce pig warriors in a straight line and threw throwing spears at the leon soldiers who left the main road and rushed towards them. The lethal weapon formed a dense forest of death thorns in the air, and with a scalp-tinging roar, it pierced through the human chest, pierced into the junction between the shoulder and neck, and tore through the abdomen, causing a terrible scream.
"Ruler two hundred meters, throw!" The tooth let out an extremely majestic roar, and in a standard throwing posture, the right hand holding the gun leaned back sharply, and the muscles produced a terrifying instantaneous explosive force, and the throwing gun drew a beautiful arc in the air, accurately hitting the left chest of a lion soldier, penetrating the body, and firmly nailing the whole person to the ground.
Xu Kun led 10,000 archers to line up more than fifty meters behind the curved teeth. There were only six thousand real archers, and the rest were temporary substitutes, mostly hogans trained in shooting. Armed with heavy crossbows, they covered the lion army by projectile, with a range of at least three times more than the throwing guns for hundreds of meters, and the two teams cooperated with each other to form two death interception nets at medium and long distances.
"Alternating back and forth, the rear team stepped forward thirty steps...... Ready, put! β
There was no need to pass orders in the dark, and the entire battle plan had already been sent down to the leaders of the hundred and ten men who were in charge of leading the army. Whether it is the spear throwing team led by Qu Tooth or the archer team led by Xu Kun, they all take thirty steps as a stage, and advance once in one round of attacks, and there is a row of sword and shield soldiers in front of the shooting queue. They form a strong defensive line and are responsible for slashing and killing the lucky ones who survive the musket by crossing the bow and arrow. "Luck" is such a thing as an illusory thing, and the gods can never favor a particular fellow. They thought they were warriors who broke through many obstacles and wanted to prove their worth with bravery and the blood of their enemies, but they did not expect that in the darkness there were sharp blades, cutting off their hands and feet, piercing their hearts and lungs, and cutting off their heads.
If the sun is still releasing light in the sky, you can see this tacit coordination of medium and long-range suppression attack queues, with the lion army as the core, divided into two rows, left and right. Like a sandwich, the Leo army is the piece of meatloaf sandwiched in the middle, and the Rock City army has long been lined up on both sides of the team, constantly squeezing forward, further narrowing the opponent's room for movement with crisp and efficient slaughter methods.
It was indeed a massacre, and the dark environment was fair to both warring parties, the difference was whether it could be used wisely.
All armies had to march in long formations, which in Tianhao's opinion was the biggest weakness.
The Rock City forces from the attacking positions on both sides merged half an hour later, and at the same time covered up the Thunderhorn City infantry. Liao Qiu was in charge, and they were like a stone smashed into a stream, directly embedded in the reorganized Rock City archers and lion soldiers, slashing in the direction of the valley.
Zong Guang led the main force of Mishui City to be responsible for solving the rear team of the lion clan. His main target is the baggage, there is no need to ignite the fire, as long as he kills the lion escort personnel and firmly controls the carts of cattle, horses and livestock pulling, there will be no suspense in this battle.
The biggest feature of equipment in the era of cold weapons is protection, whether it is leather armor or metal armor, it is an indispensable protective gear. The division was in a hurry, and there was a long distance between the baggage troops and the front team, and although the soldiers carried weapons with them, they had to take off their armor and walk lightly. There is certainly nothing wrong with doing so on the premise of ensuring safety, but it has now turned into a catastrophe of unilateral massacres by the attackers.
You can't kill me, but I can pick up a knife and slaughter you.
This is the terrible reality that the leon soldiers face.
The killing continued throughout the night.
Tianhao did not give the order to expand the results of the battle, and neither the crooked teeth nor the heavenly madness led their respective teams to act recklessly. Satisfied with what they had gained, they used spears and bows to deter them, dividing the rest of the leonon soldiers into disconnected groups. If the opponent dares to risk his life to kill, shoot him directly. If you stay where you are, you can get peace for a while.
It was finally dawning.
"Lay down your arms, surrender or kill!"
This simple sentence was shouted from tens of thousands of people at the same time, triggering a series of chain reactions.
The leonin soldiers, who had been on high alert for a whole night in fear and horror, could no longer hold on. In despair, they found enemies on all sides, and the corpses of their comrades everywhere. The bows and arrows and spears stuck in their bodies were so dense that they could not be counted. What's more, there are so many enemies, they are well-armed and wearing thick armor.
The first surrenderer to lay down his arms was just the beginning.
When Shi Yong came out of the valley, Broken Tooth and several pig soldiers met him, pulled him off his horse, and disarmed. After doing these things, and making sure that the Broken Gold City Lord had no hidden weapons on him, Broken Tooth led him for a long way to Tianhao, who was surrounded by hundreds of guards.
"You're the first lion nobleman I've ever met." Tianhao stared at the city lord who was equal to his own status, smiled and stretched out his right hand.
Shi Yong's face turned pale, he turned a blind eye to this kind of etiquette, pursed his lips, and didn't say a word.
Both ends of the valley were sealed off by the Niu people, and it was impossible to advance or retreat. The stalemate lasted all night, and when it was dawn, Shi Yong was shocked to find that on the mountains on the left and right were Niu people, they were armed with bows and arrows, as long as the leading officer gave an order, ten thousand arrows were fired, and everyone including himself had to die here.
At this time, an arrow book was shot from the mountain, and according to the animal skin scroll, the enemy commander asked to meet with him to negotiate surrender.
This is the equivalent of an ultimatum.
Shi Yong thought twice and decided to accept the invitation.
"Surrender! You have no choice. The other party's rudeness Tianhao didn't care, he still smiled, and told the truth in a calm and calm tone: "Your food and equipment have been seized by us, as long as I want, I can kill you now." β
Shi Yong's eyes became gloomy, and he tried his best to suppress the idea of smashing the young man's head with his fist, and asked viciously, "You have occupied Fangs City?" β
Tianhao nodded slightly: "I have already sent the body of the Pig King back to Black Horn City, this is the best gift to His Majesty the Ox King." β
The last hope was dashed.
Shi Yong suddenly felt a little dizzy in front of him, and a deep sense of powerlessness permeated his entire body. He took half a step back, finally stabilized his figure, and let out a useless sneer to hide his inner shock: "His Majesty the Lion King will avenge me." I am the lord of the city, and I will never kneel to you for a humble life. β
"I know you won't, you're a man with a strong sense of dignity, a true nobleman." Tianhao smiled and threw out a bunch of nice flattery. He raised his right hand and pointed to the lion soldiers who had surrendered in the distance and were lining up according to the orders of the Niu warriors, and said seriously: "But they are different, many people are unwilling to die. Think of the soldiers you left in the valley, think of their families. You were the one who brought them from the City of Broken Gold to this place, and you are responsible for them. β
Shi Yong's eyes flashed with a cold and fierce light: "You dare to threaten me? β
"I'm just telling you this fact." Tianhao spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders: "If you refuse to surrender, I will kill them, and not one will be left." β
"You're not going to do that." Shi Yong didn't believe this kind of words at all, he kept shaking his head: "Prisoners of war are important trophies, and they are more valuable alive than dead." β
Tianhao suddenly smiled without warning.
He turned and winked at Broken Tooth, who dodged away knowingly. This action made Shi Yong feel puzzled, his eyes followed the broken tooth closely, watching him walk to the nearest prisoner of war gathering area, casually pulled out a lion soldier who had laid down his arms and surrendered, dragged him, and dragged him until he was in front of Tianhao.
The poor captive didn't understand why. He shuddered, terrified, his eyes rolling in fear over everyone, his face full of pleading.
Broken Tooth pulled out a dagger and stabbed Shi Yong's heart in front of him.
"That's what you call value." Tianhao glanced down at the dying who were still convulsing, raised his head, and said calmly to Shi Yong: "They have to eat if they are alive, and I don't have extra potatoes and corn to feed them." I'm not going to lie about this kind of thing, you're a smart person and you should understand what is true and what is false. β
Shi Yong felt that he was forced into a corner, and he didn't even have room to turn around. His eyes were red, and he struggled to get syllables out of the depths of his throat: "...... You...... Are you sure? β
"You are the most valuable trophy of all the captives." Tianhao's indifferent face could not see joy or sorrow: "I need an obedient slave, and a nobleman with a lot of status." β
Slave!
Countless terrible images poured into Shi Yong's brain with this word, and he was stimulated to tremble, not because of fear, but because he was dominated by a strong sense of humiliation, and wanted to commit suicide, only to find that the road to death was completely blocked by high walls.
He bowed his head, and a series of glorious thoughts such as great ideals, wise lords, and contributions to the race were gone. Shi Yong once wanted to be a great man, a legendary and remarkable hero. He suddenly found that reality had played a joke on him, and the noble city lord suddenly became a slave, and he had to accept it, and he had no choice.
The corners of his eyes twitched, and he spoke in a tone like a patient with chronic asthma: "...... You promise...... Their Ann? β
The scales of measurement have been tilted in the direction they want, and there is no need to add weight to the falling side. Tianhao nodded and said calmly, "Of course." β
Shi Yong raised his head suddenly, his eyes were densely covered with red bloodshots, and he let out a beastly unwilling roar: "If you deceive me, I will ...... you"
"There's no need for that." Tianhao interrupted him unceremoniously: "I am also the lord of the city, honesty is a virtue, lying and deceiving is a sin, and it will be punished by the gods." β
When it comes to this, it's enough.
Shi Yong sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, motionless, his face like ashes.
In this battle, the main force of the Broken Gold City was annihilated.
The three-city alliance army slashed 12,000 lion warriors, and more than 35,000 fell from the master of the Shattered Golden City.
β¦β¦
The territory of the Pig Clan, about five kilometers southwest of Fangfang City.
Wu Yuan lay on his stomach in the deep snowdrift, his eyes fixed on the slowly moving black line on the white ice field in the distance.
It's a high vantage point, sandwiched between two peaks, with sweeping views overlooking all of Fangs City, as well as the vast plains diagonally below.
That familiar pig city is no longer what Wu Yuan is familiar with. Large swaths of the city are charred black, and some of the landmarks are gone. In particular, the two towers closest to this direction are only ruins and broken walls, and the entire base of the tower is covered in a thick black, and there are traces of fire above and below.
The current Wu Yuan is very embarrassed, and even the most familiar people can't recognize that this is the once handsome and dashing Thunder Cow Tribal Witch. The white cotton robe, which I usually like, is dirty and torn, and many places are covered with stains, and the long hair that has been stored for many years is cut off just for the convenience of movement. There is no professional barber, and all the movements are done by Wu Yuan himself with scissors, making her hair of different lengths, which looks no different from the pickled woman who stands up after rolling in the mud floor after sprinkling failure.
He had never cursed Tianhao with the most vicious words like he did now.
Although Wu Yuan had done the same thing more than once before, he swore that this curse was the most vicious, the most terrifying, and the most likely to turn from fantasy to reality.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have dreamed that Fangs City had been breached.
Tianhao had clearly achieved significant successββββ from last night until now, a large group of prisoners of war had left Fangs City, and they had passed through the ice fields and headed north.
Captain Pig Man lay next to Wu Yuan, his eyes widened with rage, his body dominated by fear and anger trembled slightly, his hands clutched two large balls of snow, clenched tightly, and melted ice water flowed from deep within his fingers.
"My lord, what do we do now?" He lowered his voice, thoughts of revenge in his head.
From contempt to acceptance, and then to respect, Captain Pig has experienced many things that seem incredible to him.
Who would have believed that a witch of the Niu clan would run around for the safety of the pig clan?
Who could believe that a stranger would almost quarrel with His Majesty the Eagle King over the sake of reinforcements?
Wu Yuan used his practical actions to convince Captain Pigren that "he is our man".
He is worthy of respect, so he must be addressed as "Lord".
Everywhere was busy, only the Leon Clan sent reinforcements. In Wu Yuan's opinion, this is enough.
There are many groups to contact, and the Courier team is forced to disperse. It's also a fluke, when Wu Yuan returned to Fangs City with the captain of the pig people from the Eagle Clan's territory, the experienced latter found that the situation was not right, so the two left the main road and came to the nearest mountain to observe the city.
"He actually won the war?" Wu Yuan didn't seem to hear Captain Pig's question, and muttered to himself with an expression of disbelief.
