Chapter 220: Dead Lips and Cold Teeth
Chapter 220: Dead Lips and Cold Teeth
The residents of Qishan are preparing for war, and the eighteen hussars have crossed the Gobi Desert through a long gallop, and crossed the borders of several small countries in the Western Regions.
Qiuzi country is built by the mountains, the high mountains and dense forests have naturally become the hiding place of the eighteen hussars, the mountains and forests can be said not only to hide, but also to provide fresh meat products for the hussars, the hussars can have a good hunter, that is, the Gongsun Ce of the Sa tribe, Gongsun Jin and the Shangguan Tianqi of the Qiang Yi tribe, Shangguan is flat.
The four of them were in charge of logistics for a few days, and the others, under the leadership of the two leaders, began to explore the terrain so that they could participate in the battle in the future and withdraw from the battle.
The war was really as Lan Qi'er and others expected, and after the soldiers of the Dayue clan successfully conquered three or five small countries, they went straight to the relatively strong country in the Western Regions, that is, the Qiuzi country.
The Marshal of the Great Moon Clan, Chahar Nino, and several generals also knew that the Qiuci Kingdom was a mercenary power among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, and it may not be as subjugated as those small countries, so the army advanced to the city of Qiuci without directly attacking it, and tens of thousands of troops were encamped a few miles away from the Qiuci City for a while.
It can be said that the soldiers of the Qiuzi State are ready to fight and defend the city, and they are fighting according to the fortified city.
The night in the desert is quiet, except for the occasional cry of war horses, the rest is the sound of the wind, the soldiers are on duty and can't sleep and dream in time, and the rest of the soldiers can enter the dream fragrance with the passage of time, because no one knows if they will be alive tomorrow, and their limbs will be sound.
As the saying goes, "A general dies in a hundred battles, and a strong man returns in ten years", although it is death and return, can a general die? Can a strong man return?
There are differences in the facts, and only those who have really experienced war know that it is not easy for generals to die, and it is not easy for strong men to return.
The sun came out to climb the hillside, because the country of Qiuci was built on the mountain, the Gobi Desert is an open area, it was earlier than the country of Qiuci to see the sun, the army of the Dayue clan began to prepare for war, and entered the rhythm before the siege?
Although the city of Qiuzi was not paid attention to by the sun for a while, the sky was already dawning, the soldiers were ready for battle, and the archers on the national city were already on the string.
A long horn sounded in the camp of the Great Moon Clan, which represented that the soldiers had been assembled, and the eighteen hussars were always paying attention to all the movements of the soldiers of the Great Moon Clan on the hillside.
The war drums sounded at this time, and the army of the Great Moon Clan was divided into the main and secondary siege directions under the command of Marshal Chaharnino, and the 30,000 army was naturally the main attack on the main gate, and nearly 20,000 troops went straight to the mountains and forests on both sides of the main gate of the city in two directions, doing a secondary attack, and tens of thousands of troops really began to rush to all the city defenses of the Qiuzi country like a flood under the beating of the war drums, and all kinds of vehicles were moving forward rapidly.
Generalissimo Chaharnino is not given in vain, it seems that the army is rushing forward irregularly, and there is a desperate siege trend, but in fact, it is not, the marshal gave all the generals a clear attack goal and direction in the Chinese army tent yesterday, and how to take care of each other!
I have to say more here that in the era of cold weapons, the most important thing for soldiers to attack a city is to avoid arrows, and bows and arrows are the main weapons for defending cities and lethal weapons in non-positional warfare.
The first echelon of the Otsuki clan is the siege vehicle echelon and the bridge echelon, and the people in this echelon do not wear heavy armor, do not carry bows and arrows, and are mainly climbers, each with rope locks and short blades.
Followed by the shield bearers and archers, it is necessary to stop moving forward after advancing to the best distance, it is to form a shield formation, protect the archers and the archers of the enemy city wall to form an effective attack, so that the siege climbers have the opportunity, and it is possible to climb the siege of the city, and each echelon of the siege army of the Otsuki clan can have the main general and the commander.
The soldiers who attacked the mountains and forests also advanced to the deep forest at the same time, because there was no war in the country of Qiuzi for many years, so it led to no sense of war at all, and there was no trap in the mountains and forests on both sides of the city gate, a quarter of an hour passed, and the soldiers of the two countries were fighting at the same time in different places, the main city gate was archers to archers, and the climbers began to climb the city wall with the help of siege vehicles, and the soldiers of the Qiuzi country also used rolling wood and stones to prevent the climbers of the Otsuki clan from attacking the city wall.
The drums of war are beating, and the soldiers of the two countries began to have a casualty pattern under the sound of gongs and drums, fighting against each other around the city wall, and the offensive and defensive battles have advantages and weaknesses, and in the case of evenly matched, the besieging side is attacking from low to high, and the casualties are higher than those of the defending side, which is the characteristic of the era of cold weapons, and it is just a helpless strong attack.
The secondary attack direction is because the soldiers of the Otsutsuki clan have not been damaged by the trap, and it can be said that they are in close combat with the soldiers of the Guizi country, and it is a hand-to-hand battle, and the cruelty in the woods is incomparable, and the screams are continuous.
Although the direction of the secondary attack was cruel, the generals in the deep forests of the Otsutsuki clan saw the hope of breaking through, so they immediately sent a herald to report the battle situation in the deep forests to the marshal of the Otsuki clan.
The commander of the Otsuki clan, Zaril Nino, heard the report of the herald, of course, to compare the situation in the direction of the attack, the situation is obvious, the attack in the direction of the main city wall is completely blocked, and there is no possibility of a breakthrough, so he immediately issued the marshal's order, and the follow-up 10,000 soldiers can move, moving rapidly, moving in the direction of the mountains and forests.
The movement of the 10,000 army on the battlefield is obvious, and of course everything is in the attention of the generals of the Guizi Kingdom, and this movement is also reflected in the field of vision of the eighteen hussars!
The army of the Great Moon Clan has moved, and the 10,000 strong troops can enter the mountains and forests, and the mountains and forests next to the main city gate can become the main battlefield in disguise at this time.
The soldiers of the Qiuzi country naturally increased their troops in the mountains and forests, and there were nearly 30,000 soldiers in the mountains and forests for a while, and the number of people was chaotic, and the casualties of the soldiers on both sides increased exponentially, which was the disaster of the war, and the water of the small rivers in the mountains and forests had changed color.
Two hours of battle has passed, under the leadership of several generals, the Dayue clan soldiers are constantly advancing, and they are about to push to the end of the mountains and forests.
The generals of the Guizi country are working hard for the country, and they are constantly increasing their troops in the mountains and forests, but the effect does not seem to be ideal, time passes minute by minute, and the mountains and forests are full of dead and wounded soldiers, and the dead and wounded soldiers With the advancement of the army of the Great Moon Clan, there were no dead and wounded soldiers in the mountains and forests, and there were also dead and wounded soldiers on both sides.
The eighteen hussar soldiers can watch the battle in the dark, everyone has seen it, and they know that it is obviously the army of the Dayue clan that has the advantage in the mountains and forests, if they do not help them and do not stir up the situation, it is likely that if they continue like this, within half an hour, the soldiers of the Dayue clan will definitely enter the city of Qiuci, and then it will be a catastrophe for the people of Qiuci, and they will also face the destruction of the Qiuci country.
Such an effect should not be had, because once the Qiuzi Kingdom is destroyed, the army of the Dayue clan will advance eastward again, and soon it will break through the three small countries in the Western Regions that are blocking in front of Qishan, and thus appear within the range of Qishan, which is not okay, it is not possible.
The eighteen hussars under the leadership of Zhang Qiang and Zhang Mao can form two teams that echo each other, urging the horses to launch a sudden impact on the soldiers of the Great Moon Clan, and from time to time they have killed a passage in the soldiers of the Great Moon Clan, and the eighteen people on the horse can be said to have their own special abilities.
Zhang Qiang, Zhang Mao and other fourteen people have their own weapons and bows and arrows in their hands, and from time to time they swing to the soldiers of the Dayue clan in front of the horse, and the four soldiers of the Sa and Qiangyi tribes are at the end of the two teams, and they throw special poison powder at the place where the soldiers of the Dayue clan are concentrated, this poison powder is not fatal, but it is enough to control people from losing their combat power, so as to achieve the greatest alleviation of the defeat of the soldiers of the Qiuzi country in the mountains and forests
。
Due to the continuous killing of eighteen people, there were a large number of casualties among the ordinary soldiers of the Great Moon Clan, because there was no defense against the sudden eighteen soldiers of the Great Moon Clan, and it was a big mess for a while, disrupting the offensive rhythm of the Great Moon Clan's soldiers.
The vanguard general of the Dayue clan can see such a situation, so he immediately led a few deputy generals to surround everyone, which can form a soldier-to-soldier, general-to-general situation, everyone will not break through the siege will have deaths and injuries, this is inexplicable, the number of Dayue soldiers is too much, so with the shouting of eighteen people before and after, they immediately formed a team, and began to rush to the outside of the mountains and forests, the direction is not wrong, but the direction outside the mountains and forests is the direction of the Dayue soldiers' rush in, and everyone has no chance to stop using weapons for a while.
The swords, guns, swords, and halberds were constantly moving in the hands of everyone, and the soldiers who were blocking the front of the team were unlucky, and they became a prominent obstacle to the eighteen hussars, and there were countless dead and wounded.
The world is unpredictable, everyone can be regarded as highlighting the mountains and forests, and the generalissimo of the Dayue clan led thousands of soldiers to arrive again at this time, of course, this is not to rush to eighteen people, but to rush from the mountains and forests into the city of Qiuzi, this is to catch up, and it is a coincidence.
All the eighteen hussars were completely exposed to the sun this time, exposed to the heavy encirclement of the Dayue clan's heavy troops, with the heavy troops led by the generalissimo in front and the pursuit of the troops led by several generals in the back, which was at a critical juncture of whether everyone's lives existed.
Eighteen hussars wanted to break out of the encirclement for a while, only desperate, must form a fist, so with Zhang Qiang's order, eighteen people began to fight back, to say that eighteen people are not afraid in this situation, one is that everyone knows in their hearts that not trying to fight back is death, believe in comrades-in-arms, believe that the brothers side by side still have hope of survival, this is unity, the power of trust, is not distracted to break through.
There are too many soldiers of the Dayue clan, thousands of people, plus there are generals in front of the breakthrough, it is really difficult to break through, the eighteen hussars have been injured from time to time, and the number of injured is increasing, and the encirclement has been greatly offset with the joint efforts of everyone, far away from the mountains and forests.
At this time, the soldiers of the Guizi Kingdom went out of the mountains and forests with the generals of the Otsuki Clan, but they really turned the situation around, and the number of people had already gained the upper hand and controlled the initiative in the mountains and forests.
The number of injured eighteen hussars has increased, and there has been a serious overdraft of physical strength, it can be said that they are still under the siege of the army of the Great Moon Clan.
The underground river in the desert can complete the "hussar warriors", giving eighteen people the opportunity to break out of the encirclement, under the desert ground with the underground river flow, the undercurrent has formed a huge and narrow yellow sand floating sand belt under the yellow sand.
There was a scuffle of thousands of horses and people on this ground, resulting in a tremor effect, the original balance of the floating sand belt in the undercurrent fluctuations, the water content of the sand belt changed instantly, the combination of sand and sand changed in an instant, the friction disappeared, and the unique quicksand state in the desert was formed, and the quicksand state was like the subsidence, and the desert swamp was formed.
The Eighteen Hussars were fortunate that they did not appear in the river belt of the underground river, so they naturally avoided the quicksand area and sunk into the swampy area.
The soldiers of the Dayue clan are not so lucky, most of the soldiers are on the quicksand belt, and they sink down with the quicksand in an instant, which can really be described as a person turning on his back!
The generalissimo of the Great Moon Clan, Chahar Nino, was also unlucky, people and war horses were swallowed by the quicksand together, this quicksand was formed, what people and things within its range were doing in vain, there was no support point, it could only sink with the quicksand, and the final result was that there was no trace, I don't know where it would flow with the undercurrent, maybe it would appear anywhere hundreds of kilometers away, that is, if people can see it, it is just white bones.
The eighteen hussars took this opportunity to find a breakthrough point, and successfully broke through, and the army of the Great Moon Clan had to withdraw with the battle of the Turtle Kingdom, and the innocent death of the Generalissimo, and the eastward advance of the Great Moon Clan came to an end, and the countries of the Western Regions returned to their original state.
The eighteen hussars of Qishan have completed the mission given by Lan Qi'er, and they have completed it with their lives, but they just leave everyone's lives in the sky.
Most of the hussar soldiers were injured, and after a few days of walking in response, they returned to Qishan City, and it took a while to recuperate, because the injuries of several soldiers had been infected, and one soldier entered Qishan City in a coma!
