Chapter 111: The defense line collapsed
The cannibal vanguard team rode up the waterway and plunged headlong into the mudflats dug by the Rumors.
The mudflats are gradually elevated and covered with water, making it difficult to tell what is underneath from the water. When the students saw the fleeing rumors scattering away, they followed without thinking.
They didn't know the terrain, and although some people noticed that the water was getting shallower, they thought it was just a place, and they still struggled to move forward, and by the time they realized that something was wrong, they were all stranded.
The heavy wooden rafts were sunk in the mud, crammed into a heap, and they couldn't hold up a single inch with all their might. The students on the platoon couldn't advance or retreat, and after tossing and turning, they gave up their efforts and all stood behind the pile of chaotic branches on the platoon to defend.
The rumors were originally very nervous, but when they saw the enemy trapped, their morale was greatly boosted, and Putata was excited, and he shouted loudly and led the whole army to attack.
I saw them start the reed boats, row their shells, and scream, and swarm up to them.
There were only fifty or sixty cannibals, all of whom were nested on small wooden rows, and they were a little flustered when they saw a large number of enemies coming to kill them, but they quickly calmed down.
They have always been very contemptuous of the little man in front of them, and they are not afraid to fight with them at all.
The means of transportation of the Rumors were not restricted by the quagmire, and they moved quickly, and the brigade of men and horses came to the front in a blink of an eye, and there were many people on both sides of the flank.
The reed boat and its shell in front were more than thirty meters away, and the cannibal archers had already drawn their bows, aiming calmly, ready to shoot.
"Squeak!" At this time, I heard a shout from the other side, and a wave of arrows was shot from the ship of the rumor.
The cannibal was taken aback, the wooden bow and blowpipe of the rumor fungus man can only be played within a dozen steps, how can he shoot so far this time? Could it be that he was stupid and shot indiscriminately?
They couldn't figure it out, they forgot to shoot arrows for a while, they all opened their mouths wide, their eyes kept staring at the flying arrows, and they kept tracking the arc in the air to fall near them, and then they were sure that the opponent's bow was stronger than the one in their hands.
"Ahh There was a scream from the wooden platoon, and an unlucky man was hit by an arrow.
"Bang bang bang!" Another wave of arrows flew.
The cannibals looked at the arrows that were swishing around them, which were clearly top-grade stone cluster arrows that were much better than their bone and tooth arrows, and their faces changed, and they didn't dare to hold it up anymore, so they hurriedly dodged the arrows.
Fortunately, the shooting skills of the Rumor Fungus were not very good, and they released arrows on a fast-gliding boat, and the hit rate was very low, and this time no one was shot.
A little closer, entering the range of cannibals' bows and arrows, the people in the row shouted in unison, and they all stood up and released arrows outside.
Compared with the rumor, the cannibal man's archery skills are much better, and he is a firm archer, so the accuracy is good, and he shot several rumored people in one launch.
Helplessly, it is difficult for the bow and arrow to shoot through the shell of the rumor, and the shell of the ballad man with the middle arrow carries an arrow, and the rowing of the rowing boat, the archery of the arrow, as if nothing happened.
The cannibal shot a few arrows, and knowing that the bow and arrow were useless, they all threw down the bow and arrow, picked up the bid, and prepared to fight again when they got closer. The rumors do not stop their arrows as they advance, and although they are very poor, they continue to inflict casualties on the other side.
At this time, the outflanked folks had already come around, the boat and the single husk had stopped, and a large group of warriors surrounded on all sides, and at a distance of more than ten meters, they were around the cannibals and threw javelins.
The cannibals fought back with javelins, killing and wounding a lot of rumors, but their numbers were too small, and the javelins thrown were scarce. In the face of the arrows and tenders that hit like a torrential rain, there were heavy casualties, and he was soon beaten and did not dare to show his head.
But the hidden piles of branches could not stop the javelins, and sharp flint spears kept coming out of the branches, and they were close to the edges, and people were constantly pierced by the piercing javelins.
The students also did not have the habit of using shields, and could not resist the javelins, so they did not dare to stay on the side, lying on the ground, desperately shrinking in the middle, and some of them used the dead and wounded companions as shields.
Seeing that the destruction was imminent, the offensive of the rumors suddenly stopped.
A lucky cannibal man hugged his wailing companion, felt that no javelins were falling around, and quietly looked up to see that the team of rumors on the opposite side began to retreat, and they did so in a hurry.
This life looked confused, turned his head and looked again, a large group of people and horses slowly came to the quagmire behind him, and some of them were quickly coming to rescue them.
"Whew!" With great joy in this life, he threw aside his companion who was blocking the gun, stood up and yelled loudly.
When the still alive people heard this, they all raised their weapons and shouted excitedly. The rescuer only forced the rumors back, and did not come to converge, but sent men to explore the way separately.
With the dead and wounded, the rumors hurriedly retreated behind the defensive line to defend, and ordered the corpses and wounded to be sent to the shore.
The dragon spirits on the hillside looked ugly when they saw that they had brought back twenty or thirty dead and wounded people.
Nu Xin crossed her arms and sneered: "Six hundred people fight sixty people, and the result is like this, and in the terrain that they are good at, the combat power of the Rumor Fungus people is too weak." ”
The dragon spirit shook his head and said: "Although their combat power is not comparable to that of humans, it is not weak to this extent, and two rumored mushroom people can at least be worth one cannibal." ”
"The point is that they are not organized, they are too chaotic, and as soon as they are released, they can no longer command, they are all fighting indiscriminately, and they don't dare to go over to close combat. If it were us, a single shock would wipe out those creatures. ”
Nu Xin nodded and said: "All of us in the Longze Department are experienced hunters, not only have courage and force, but also know how to cooperate with each other, and the combat power is naturally not comparable to rumors and cannibals." ”
"Alas, it's a pity for the arrows and javelins that were given to them."
The dragon spirit sighed, and said very depressedly: "I'm afraid that most of this battle has been consumed, and it has not been recovered on the battlefield, and it has become a weapon for cannibals." ”
"Who would have thought they would be so useless, cowardly and stubborn!"
Nu Xin also said angrily: "We have long proposed to let the cannibals come in and ambush, but the rumors just don't want to, so they have to stay in front." As a result, we can't even deal with the cannibals who are exploring the path, and we will fight like this, and see what kind of face they have to come to see us. ”
The dragon spirit took a deep breath, picked up the spear leaning on the tree, and said with a solemn expression: "The rumors can't stop it, the cannibal will be there soon, and it's up to us below." ”
The two were about to walk towards the ambush when they suddenly heard a 'rumbling' drum, and hurriedly looked up, and saw that the main force of the cannibal had reached the front of the mudflat defense line.
They paused for a moment, and under the command of the drums, hundreds of wooden rafts rushed to the mudflats like crazy, all of them ran aground on the mudflats, and one by one they were connected, forming a large piece of wooden raft ground.
The rumors confronted them for a moment, then broke down and fled back like a nest, their screams of terror could be heard a kilometer away.
"A bunch of useless ......"
As soon as Nu Xin scolded for half a sentence, she saw a few terrifying things slowly coming out of the cannibal array, and her eyes suddenly widened, and she was speechless in shock.
