Chapter 461 The Roundabout Tiger Gang

It has never been stipulated that biting is not a normal fighting act.

Fierce women deal with whites like pigs. Many of them have participated in hunting teams, and their physical strength is unmatched in close combat. If it weren't for Viscount Monio, who saw that the situation was not good, and sent the rear infantry forward as quickly as possible, and at the same time ordered "indiscriminate shooting", these brave women would have been able to further expand the results of the battle.

No prisoners were caught.

The village was full of dead peopleβ€”β€”β€”β€” frail old people committed mass suicide, and they killed all the children in the village before they died. In particular, the bodies of girls who have not yet reached adulthood have been deliberately mutilated by the elders after death, their faces have been scratched in a messy and unremarkable way, some of them have simply torn off large areas of skin, and the feminine parts of their bodies have been cut off or stabbed with knives.

White people are the devil.

This is a thousand-year-long metaphor of the gods.

The difference in size in height can easily lead white people to vent their beastly (harmonious) desires against savage girls. In order to ensure the innocence of the women of the tribe, even if it is death, it cannot leave any chance for the damned white shorty.

Viscount Monio was speechless about this, and there was a great deal of anger from it. Of all the spoils, the living giant captives are the most valuable. He knew that these barbarian guys were not afraid of death, and he was mentally prepared enough. Monio's idea was simple, he felt that even getting the corpses of the northern giants, especially the female giants, would be a good gain.

Before the expedition, many nobles within the Plantagenet Kingdom approached Monio and asked him to help collect the living bodies or corpses of the female giants' children. The former is naturally the best toy, and the latter can be made into a taxidermy. If it is beautifully made and in good condition, it can be sold as a work of art and fetch a very high price.

At the end of the battle, Viscount Monio was given only flesh and blood, hundreds of useless giant corpses, except for the few grain that remained in the stockade and all sorts of waste that seemed to be indistinguishable from garbage to the whites.

The only part that is considered valuable is probably the giantess who died in the middle of the charge. They were barely intact, especially the heads.

"Cut off their heads." Viscount Moneo, in his frustration and inability to vent his anger, gave orders to the officers of all ranks: "Salt with lime and salt, take care to waterproof and seal. This is our first loot. Everyone, cheer up, it turns out that the northern giants are nothing to fear. They are not our opponents. With the timing right, we're sure we'll be able to capture a lot of captives. ”

As a commander, of course, you must give your subordinates enough confidence and courage.

But Viscount Monio's real thoughts were not at all like this.

This is already the case in a small town of a few hundred people, who would rather die than surrender, and even the elderly and children have committed suicide...... Switching positions, taking the Plantagenet Kingdom as an example, Viscount Monio believes that most of the people in the country will never be able to do this.

The cold wind was blowing in his face, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Will the future of this war really be so smooth and go straight to victory?

……

Two days later, Viscount Monio's vanguard arrived on the outskirts of Mane.

This is the closest city to Suolong Pass in the south of the territory, with a population of about 120,000.

The Northern Continent is simply too big, and it is difficult for the scattered scouts to send back information in a short period of time. Prior to this, there had never been a white penetration, and there was no detailed information on the towns and tribes of the northern part of the continent.

Luckily, Monio captured the previous stockade and obtained a map of the hides from the leader's hut where he had been killed. It outlines the location of the main cities of the lion clan with simple lines. While the map isn't accurate, it's generally right. The Viscount immediately sent scouts to scout in the direction of Mane City marked on the map, and finally found the most valuable target in his opinion.

Because of this map, the Vanguard Corps' march route deviated from the main road. Under normal circumstances, Viscount Monio would follow the giant "Six" in the direction of the rout of the Lock Dragon Pass, and the dragon army that guarded the valley and used incendiary bombs to attract the weapons that killed creatures.

The Viscount didn't delay a minute.

He immediately ordered the whole army to be stationed in place, and the artillery units had to complete the erection and construction of positions before sunset. The number of scouts sent was doubled, and the connection with the main forces in the rear was strengthened, and at the same time the battle situation was reported.

Monio was well aware that only the Marquis of Elken was worthy of his allegiance.

……

As many as 10,000 cavalry marched south along the not-so-narrow mountain road.

As soon as the tiger was on his horse, he was a skilful rider and could keep his balance even when he loosened the reins with both hands. With his right hand on his forehead, his eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze crossed the ridge in the distance in the bumpy, and he silently watched the sun in the sky that was obscured by the faint clouds, not dazzling, and could be seen directly.

It is bounded by the mountains on both sides of the Suolong Pass, and most of the north is the territory of the lion clan. The part bordering the Tigers and Leons is located in the northwest. If you walk from the north-northwest direction, the terrain is relatively open, and most of it is a gentle slope formed by hills, which is convenient for large troops.

Hu Gang did not choose that direction, he left Tianhao's camp with 10,000 cavalry, detoured from the southwest, crossed the dense forest, and reversed from the remote Grand Canyon to Suolong Pass.

If the artillery position where Tianhao is currently located is the uppermost midpoint, the border fortress of the Grand Canyon southwest of the Lion Clan and the Tiger Clan is the lower left corner, and the Leon Clan Stockade captured by Viscount Monio before is the lower right corner, it just forms a huge triangle on the map.

Hu Gang is equivalent to taking his cavalry team around in a big circle, of course, the ultimate goal is to lock the dragon pass.

The reason for this, as the offensive line chosen by Viscount Monio, was for exactly the same reason.

The powerful combat power displayed by the "Six" is amazing, and the strange way they evolve is also terrifying. Although the Marquis of Elken is greedy, he will not let the soldiers of the Plantagenet Kingdom die in vain just to capture a few more giant captives. Coupled with Bishop Somson's detailed introduction to the "Six" in sensing and selecting targets, Viscount Monio did not attack in the direction of due north, but chose to go slightly to the northeast.

Although Hu Gang had not witnessed the terrifying devouring ability of the giant "Six", he had already learned about the situation on the front line from the messenger sent by Shi Li. In his opinion, the white people are not difficult to deal with, as long as the dragons firmly hold the road to Roaring City due north, they have the opportunity to attack the flank of the white army in a roundabout way.

It's also done to be on the safe side. Although the dragons annihilated a large number of "Six" with their artillery superiority, no one dared to guarantee whether this monster would still be alone. Tiger Gang is never afraid of his opponent, and of course the opponent must be human.

The detour can avoid the remaining "Six", and it also has the advantage of ensuring the safety of the Tiger Clan's territory in this direction. Although the northern barbarians were physically stronger than the whites and could fight, they were too few in number, and their limited forces were doomed to be impossible to have superiority in every direction.

Hu had just spent some time at Suolong Pass, and he remembered the power of the white man's musket and artillery vividly. The dense array of three-layer muskets is incredibly powerful, and it can even pierce through well-studded heavy armor at close range. However, the white gun formation also had its weakness, that is, it was not easy to turn, and the heavy artillery moved slowly. This has been confirmed from the dragon peopleβ€”β€”β€”β€” the reason why Hu Gang was in a hurry to leave the Tianhao camp and lead the cavalry team south to take the initiative to find fighters, on the one hand, was that he wanted to take the lead in this battle, and on the other hand, Hu Gang felt that he could achieve a surprise effect by taking a detour from the side. What's more, the artillery of the dragon people is heavy, and the artillery position is almost fixed, as long as there is Tianhao's main force to hold in the direction of due north, it will become the biggest target in the eyes of the whites.

The desire to make a difference is so urgent, knowing that now is the best opportunity in hundreds of years. Hu Yong died first, Shi Zhenghao also died, and Suolong Pass was occupied by whites...... As long as you show your extraordinary wisdom and have a good record, you have a good chance of becoming the next commander of the Dragon Pass recommended by the tribes.

This is not a delusion, but an ideal.

Suddenly, gunshots rang out from the hills on both sides of the road. Sporadic and incoherent, but the shots were accurate, and several people in the group fell off their horses screaming one after another. The marching Tiger Clan cavalry suddenly became chaotic, and the soldiers took the light round shields behind their backs one after another, raising them high to block their heads, but the protective area was too small, and people and horses were still being shot.

"Enemy attack!" Sharp roars pierced from the far front to the back, one after the other.

Hu Gang's thinking nerves instantly tightened, and the blood in his body became coagulated.

Ambushed?

And what about the scouts I sent out earlier? Why hasn't the message been returned?

Although Hu Gang was rude, he was not reckless, and he knew very well that an outpost must be sent for a long march. Although this canyon passage is narrow, it is one of the natural and dangerous areas for the Tiger Clan to fight against the Leon Clan for a long time. Especially at the exit of the canyon near the Tiger Clan's territory, many Tiger Kings painstakingly built strong guard towers.

As for the other end, which is the exit where the cavalry is currently advancing, the distance is not far, no more than a kilometer at most. With the footsteps of the northern barbarian war horses, it only takes one charge to reach.

Only dragons and whites had muskets.

Hu Gang almost immediately ruled out the suspicion of the dragon clan. He had met Tianhao, the regent who had always been hostile to the Tiger Clan, but would not do despicable deeds that violated the laws of the clan.

"It's damn white!" He stared at the rolling peaks not far away, scolded viciously, and without thinking about it, he opened his mouth and gave an order: "Speed up and rush out!" ”

Beyond the canyon is a large open plain. As long as they get there, they are not afraid of ambushes with the flexible mobility of the barbarian cavalry. When the time comes, give those damned white-skinned dwarves a taste of riding spears, knives, and crossbows!

Any Warlord will make the same decisions as Tiger Gang in their current state. But I don't know why, his legs clamped the horse's belly hard, urging the war horse under his crotch to speed up and run, and he had some doubts in his heart.

The gunfire from the hills on both sides was not dense, and could even be said to be sparse.

This means that there are not many whites ambushed in the mountains.

Moreover, the ambush area they chose was also contrary to military common senseβ€”β€”β€”β€” it was too close to the exit of the valley, if it was Hu Gang, he would send people forward to the middle of the canyon, so as to maximize the damage to the troops passing through the canyon.

Something doesn't seem right!

With a vague question in his mind, Hu Gang rode his horse and rushed behind the dense cavalry group to the exit of the canyon not far away.

Human habitual thinking dictates that it is necessary to find a safe area in the face of danger. Although the losses of the cavalry team when passing through the canyon were not large, and could even be said to be slight, the height of the mountain and the mountain situation determined that it was impossible to attack from the inside of the canyon to the left and right. This is done to regroup in the open area while also making room for the companions behind.

Hu Gang tightened the reins with strong and powerful hands, and roared angrily at the nearest officers: "Don't panic, find your own people, and form a team as soon as possible." ”

The adjutant and the two hundred-headed officers immediately nodded in response, "Okay! ”

"White people are not our opponents!" Hu Gang continued to cheer up his subordinates in the chaos: "They are not as fast as us, as long as one charge, they will ......"

Suddenly, there was a scalp-tingling shrill roar in the air, which instantly suppressed the words that Tiger Gang had already spoken to his lips.

He was no stranger to this terrible soundβ€”β€”β€”β€” when he was in the dragon camp before, Hu had just seen artillery fired, which meant that someone was firing at this place from a distance, and judging from the sound, the incoming cannonballs were very dense.

Huge round iron balls fell from the sky, slamming headlong into the cavalry with unstoppable power and speed of mortal power. A Tiger cavalryman who had no time to dodge was stoned to death on the spot, and he and the war horse under his crotch were crushed almost at the same time. It was like a violent child grabbing a ball and smashing it at an innocent toy soldier, but no one could see where the monstrous child was, not even the hand that controlled the ball.

The rapid impact and inertia propelled the round shell to continue rolling forward. It is more than 200 millimeters in diameter, and the hard winter permafrost provides it with good room to unleash its power. It lands and kills its first target, but instead of ending its wreathing, it bounces off the hardened ground and shoots in other directions.

About thirty shells were fired from this wave of shelling. The damage inflicted by the solid projectile on the Tiger Clan cavalry is almost negligible, very slight. The massive height of the northern barbarians far exceeds the southern whites' understanding of the size of weapons. Artillery with a caliber of 200 mm is a heavy weapon in the south of the continent, and its power is amazing. But in the north, whether it can play its due effect depends on the place and the people.

Hu Gang held a fire in his heart.

Although they were subjected to successive gunfire and artillery shelling, from the time they broke out of the valley to the present, the casualties of the entire cavalry team were not large, and the maximum number of casualties did not exceed 200. This loss was nothing to him, but it was really irritating, and he became more and more angry.
