"If you want to take the military fortress at the front of Ando County, you must first take these two forts, according to reliable sources, there are only about 1,000 Ando guards in these forts, which two chiefs are willing to take the lead and make the first contribution?"
Goodaqi's sharp eyes looked around at the tribal chiefs around him.
The reality is often so dramatic, not long ago, Gud'Archie's identity was only the young master of a small tribe, and his status within the Northern Barbarians was far inferior to that of any of the chiefs here, and at that time, he was still worried about how to overpower his brother and justifiably obtain the inheritance of the chief of the Yagu tribe.
But in a few months, everything has changed dramatically, when the Yagu tribe was wiped out, and everyone thought that Gudeaki was about to be completely finished like the destroyed Yagu tribe, he actually got the appreciation of the great barbarian king of the white Abe, and turned over in one fell swoop to become the head of the Zuo Yu guard.
It really responds to the old saying that fortune and fortune rely on and fortune lurks, the world is impermanent and unpredictable.
"Elder Zuo Yuwei, my department is willing to go and act as a pioneer for the adults to explore the truth and reality!"
The two tribal chiefs stood up, namely the Songrui tribe and the Mengshui tribe, they were not only the stronger tribes in this group of small barbarian tribes, but also the hardcore followers of the Bai'a barbarian tribe.
"Good! Very good! ”
Goodaci's face was overjoyed, and he stroked his palms and said loudly:
"If you can take the fort, you will make the first contribution, and after you take this military fort, you can get two shares of all the spoils in it."
Since they are all descendants of the White Barbarian Tribe, then the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and it doesn't hurt to give them more, Goodachi pretended to be generous and said.
Goodaqi's words made the rest of the tribal chiefs who were not in a hurry to express their stance show a look of disappointment and remorse on their faces, even if the other tribes may not be as strong as these two tribes, but they are not too different, attacking a guard fort with only 1,800 people stationed with one force, it is not easy to capture, just because he is one step slower, such a big bargain has been picked up by others.
The two chiefs of the Songrui tribe and the Mengshui tribe, Ahar and Ainilangi, returned to the headquarters triumphantly and gathered their people to prepare for battle.
After a while, the two groups of men and horses gathered and rushed out, because they needed to attack the fort on their backs, and the war horses had lost their effect, which created favorable conditions for the Songrui and Mengshui tribes, which were mostly infantry, and the barbarian warriors of the Songrui and Mengshui tribes held their swords in both hands and carried the ladder on their shoulders, screaming and rushing to the two forts respectively.
Gudarchie led the rest of the army to slowly press forward, trying to divide the battlefield, effectively preventing the military fortress from supporting the fort.
The leading general in the fort was a commander named Zhuang Yuanshan, his resolute face was full of disdain for death, and he carried a broad-bladed machete in his hand, and shouted loudly to his soldiers:
"Brothers, from the day I joined the army, Lao Tzu was ready to sacrifice his life for the country, the time has come for the country and the people to need us, even if we die, we can't let this group of brute dogs plague our homeland, right?"
Nearly a thousand Ando defenders roared madly:
"Yes, defend your homeland to the death"
"Yes, defend your homeland to the death"
Everyone's face showed a hideous color, horizontal and vertical is a death, then you have to be a little man, become a martyr, the family will be better, if you can't repel the barbarians, the front line is lost, the door of Ando County is wide open, and you don't know how many relatives and friends have been slaughtered.
At the same time, the same story played out in the Right Guard Fort, where every Ando defender who remained here flocked to all parts of the Guard Castle with the determination to die, and everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the barbarians who were approaching, and at this moment, death did not make them feel afraid.
All the large bed crossbows have been activated, and they began to fire huge crossbow arrows frantically at the crowd of barbarians who rushed up, and the unique sound of breaking the air completely sounded the horn of war, and the powerful crossbow arrows had great lethality, and the dense barbarian crowd of the Songrui Department was shot out of a huge gap.
The armor of the barbarians who rushed to the front was like paper paste, and in an instant they were strung into strings of sugar gourds, about four feet long, and the crossbow arrows as thick as the arms of young children still did not reduce their residual strength after shooting through several people, and the huge impact knocked down a large number of barbarians behind them.
"If you shoot well, you should let these brute dogs know that we are powerful"
The defenders of Ando in the two forts on the left and right shouted loudly, and with the strength of several people, they rewound the large bed crossbow. Each fort was equipped with several of these large bed crossbows, and their range was about a thousand paces, a distance from which the barbarian soldiers could only be beaten.
There were hundreds of cavalry in each of the Mengshui and Songrui divisions, and the cavalry was extremely fast, and once the crossbow head of the large bed crossbow was fixed, it was extremely difficult to change the angle, and the Ando defenders simply ignored the cavalry of more than 100 cavalry and let it gallop to come.
The cavalry galloped to a place less than a hundred paces away from the fort, and the barbarian archers on horseback drew their bows and arrows to suppress the fire on the defenders of the fort.
Although it was protected by armor, if it was shot in a critical part such as a front door, it would still kill with one blow, and the battle lasted less than a cup of tea, and wounded soldiers began to appear on the fort one after another.
The power of the large bed crossbow is huge, but the rate of fire is extremely slow, especially the loading of crossbow arrows and firing need the cooperation of many people, only about two rounds of crossbow arrows are shot on the two forts, and the besiegers who are rushing to the castle have already poured under the forts, and the siege ladders have been erected, and the barbarians of the two divisions are not afraid of death, and they are scrambling to climb up the ladders.
"Prepare to drop the wood!"
The soldiers guarding the fort pulled the rope sharply, and the log hanging on the top of the fort fell with a loud sound, and the autumn wind swept away the leaves, and all the barbarians who climbed up the halfway ladder fell.
Most of the people who were directly beaten down by the wood were broken and their bones were broken, either dead or disabled, and occasionally a few barbarians who were lucky enough to avoid the wood, but falling from a height of about ten meters, it was inevitable that they would be broken all over their bodies, and in the blink of an eye, there was an extra layer of barbarian corpses and a group of wailing wounded soldiers under the fort.
"Prepare the blaststones!" Zhuang Yuanshan yelled: "Smash it for me!" "There are too many barbarians below the fort to look at them at all, just push the cannon stone down and you can hit several enemies.
A group of Ato defenders scrambled to pick up the cannon stones and rushed forward.
