Chapter 49: The Battle of the Fish-People
87_87057In the early morning of the third day, Bai Qi and the four of them left the cargo ship and burrowed into the dense forest by the lake.
When they bypassed the Blackscale Fish-Man tribe and entered the mountains northeast of the tribe, it was still dawn.
Leave Adrian on a hill with a good view and observe the number of hunting parties sent out by the Fishman tribe to determine the number of Fishmen left in the waterwall.
Bai Qi scattered with Barian and Nonda, and looked around on the hill, lest he be calculated by the group of golden-scaled fishmen and capsized in the gutter, and the joke would be big.
After turning around the hill and making sure that there was no ambush here, Bai Qi climbed over the hill again and went down to the Suluo River, but determined that the escape boat arranged by Bode was still there.
After some checking, the sun had risen, and the three of them gathered around Adrian, she told everyone that from dawn, seven or eight fish-man hunting teams in the fish-man tribe under the mountain left the water village one after another and entered the jungle in the south, among which two teams of more than 100 people were led by the Chosen Warriors, and the rest of the hunting teams were about fifty, which was less than Bai Qi and their estimates, it seemed that the sneak attack on the golden-scaled fish-man failed, and the black-scaled fishman seemed to be guarding against the opponent's counterattack.
As the morning sun rose, the fish-man water village gradually woke up, and many fish-people burrowed into the river bay in front of the water village, and some fish-people entered the swamp to the east.
At this time, there were less than 500 fishmen left in the entire black-scaled water village, but just looking at the strong fishmen who were moving around the water village, we knew that these fishmen who stayed behind in the nest were definitely the most elite warriors in this tribe.
Fish-people entering the bays and swamps are not far from the lair, and they can quickly return if the lair is attacked.
At about eight o'clock in the morning, the golden-scaled fish-man arrived at the rendezvous place, looking at the tired fish-man, Bai Qi estimated. They set out from the lair about midnight to get here at this time.
Seeing the four of Bai Qi, the three fish-man leaders also breathed a sigh of relief.
Take a closer look at this army of golden-scaled fishmen. Bai Qi couldn't help but be a little surprised, he found out. Not only Carl and his son, but also many strong ordinary fishmen have a bone shield behind their backs.
Bai Qi has killed one or two thousand fishmen, but he has never seen a fishman using a shield, and the shields in the hands of these fishmen are obviously a little unusual.
Curious, Bai Qi asked, and Soka told him that these shields were made by the Golden Scaly Fishman in imitation of the shields in the hands of the humans in Blackwater City, because the Blackwater Fishman did not know how to enchant skills. Ordinary materials can't resist the teeth of the black fish, so these bone shields are all ground from the bones of the black fish, relying on the hardness of the bones of the black fish itself to resist the sharp teeth of the black fish.
A Suluo black fish has dozens of teeth in its mouth, but there are very few places for a pair of fish bones to make a zuò shield, and at most seven or eight shields can be made, so these bone shields are very rare and precious, and they didn't bring out many when they escaped from the Fish-Man Peninsula in Blackwater Lake.
As for why he didn't carry a bone shield when hunting, the other party's answer was that because bone shields were not very useful in hunting, dealing with small prey. The javelin can solve the problem and deal with large and medium-sized prey, and the bone shield cannot stop it. Instead, it slows down the speed.
Under the order of Kaka, the prince of the golden scales, the warriors of the golden scales sat down on the spot, took out fresh fish from the skin on their backs, and ate them in large gulps.
The three fish-man leaders and the four of Bai Qi walked together and began to discuss in a whisper, at this time, the trust between the two sides had increased a lot, and they were no longer as cautious as they were three days ago.
In fact, the general tactics had been discussed three days ago, and for a species like the Fish-Man, which was not very intelligent among intelligent creatures, they could not execute the tactics that were too complicated. So the two sides just roughly agreed, and the golden-scaled fishmen attacked from the front. Attract the attention of the Black-scaled Fishman at a critical moment in the decisive battle. It was up to Bai Qi to launch a surprise attack behind the fish-men and wait for an opportunity to assassinate the black-scaled shaman.
After discussing the tactics, Bai Qi nodded to Adrian, Adrian's figure flickered, and suddenly disappeared without a trace in front of everyone, this sudden scene surprised the leader of the three fishmen, and he was even more afraid of the four of Bai Qi, and at the same time understood why Bai Qi was so confident in assassinating the fishman shaman, this kind of assassin who can be completely invisible is simply the nemesis of the shaman!
Half an hour later, the goldenrod people were full of food and drink, and the two sides parted.
After the golden-scaled fish-man descended the mountain, he went around to the jungle in the south and approached the black-scaled water village from the front, while Bai Qi and the others went down the mountain from the west side of the hill and ambushed in the bushes on the side of the fish-man water village, waiting until the melee began, trying to get close to each other from the side and rear.
When hundreds of golden-scaled fishmen shining in the sunlight slowly walked out of the forest south of the water village in a not too chaotic formation, several fishmen fighting on the thatched roof of the water village immediately let out a terrible howl.
The whole fish-man water village suddenly boiled, first more than 500 black-scaled fish-people in the water-village drilled out of the hut one after another, and rushed towards the golden-scaled fish-people, and then, the river bay behind the water-village also boiled, hundreds of fish-people stirred the waves and swam towards the shore, and in the swamp in the south, there were also hundreds of fish-people rushed out......
Compared with the wolf run of the black-scaled fish-man, the gold-scaled fish-man seems to be unhurried.
Five hundred golden-scaled fishmen were arranged in a not very neat phalanx, Kaka and Uka father and son walked at the front of the phalanx, and the priest Soka walked in the center of the phalanx, and the whole phalanx walked slowly, advancing towards the Black Scale Water Village.
Seeing this scene, Bai Qi couldn't help but be surprised, no wonder Kaka dared to attack the black-scaled fishmen with 1,500 clansmen with his five hundred clansmen, if the black-scaled fishmen were a group of stragglers, then these five hundred golden-scaled fishmen already had the shadow of an army.
Bai Qi couldn't help but have more confidence in this battle.
The black-scaled fish-men who rushed wildly hit the phalanx of the gold-scaled fishmen like a tide, but like a tide hitting the riverbank, the waves were shattered.
The individual combat power of the golden-scaled fish-man is much stronger than that of the black-scaled fish-man, the weak side is unorganized and charges indiscriminately, while the strong side ranks in a phalanx and advances in an orderly manner, and the advantages and disadvantages are clear at a glance.
In the crowd of black-scaled fish, six strong Chosen Warriors squeezed through their surroundings and pounced towards Kaka and his son, who were standing firmly at the forefront of the Golden Scale Phalanx like the mainstay.
The black-scaled fishman, who was only about 1.7 meters tall, was like a child in front of the two 2.23 meters tall Kaka father and son, and was whipped by the two of them with the thick war spears in their hands.
Compared to the IQ of Kaka and his son, which is not inferior to that of ordinary people, the Chosen Warriors of the Black Scale Fishman are as stupid as beasts, and the strength of these Black Scale Chosen Warriors themselves has a huge gap with that of Kaka and his sons, and they don't even know that they will come forward to besiege them later.
It is conceivable that the first black-scaled Chosen Warrior who rushed in front of Kaka's father and son was nailed to the ground by the father and son almost immediately.
The five Chosen Warriors behind them were suddenly startled, and they all slowed down and leaned towards their companions, as if they were not stupid enough to get home.
For the actions of the black-scaled gods-chosen warriors, Kaka and his son didn't pay attention to it, but just moved forward step by step with the golden-scaled phalanx, and the black-scaled fishmen who rushed up one after another smashed in front of the phalanx like waves one after another.
Behind the five Black-Scale Chosen Warriors, two Black-Scale Shamans galloped forward surrounded by dozens of strong Fish-Man Warriors.
Seeing the target, Bai Qi led Roundup and Barrian out of the bushes, and ran towards the two fish-man shamans with his waist bent.
The fish-men who had come ashore from the bay saw the three of them and howled one after another, trying to warn their companions in front of them, but now the battlefield was in chaos, and the howls of a dozen ordinary fish-men were probably not even audible to themselves.
Seeing that they couldn't alert their companions, the dozen or so fishmen rushed towards Bai Qi and the others.
Bai Qi flipped his hand and took out a fish-man war spear from the storage space and threw it at one of the fish-men.
According to Bai Qi's speculation, the overall attributes of these fish-man war spears made of adult black fish teeth are probably similar to those of green weapons in space, but their penetrating power may not even be comparable to many light blue weapons, and it is the best to use them as throwing guns.
During this time, Bai Qi and they exterminated a lot of fish-man water villages, this kind of ordinary war spears captured thousands, most of them were used by them in exchange for various resources, Bai Qi selected hundreds of the best war spears from the capture, removed the black fish teeth, sent them to the weapon workshop in Leoni City, and commissioned them to create a batch of high-quality throwing guns. Most of these throwing guns were lying in his storage space.
For this battle, Bai Qi gave this high-quality throwing gun to Rounda twenty, all of which were behind him at this time.
Leoni's craftsmen are much better than those of the fishmen, and the throwing guns produced are not only much more exquisite, but also greatly improved.
Using such a throwing gun to deal with ordinary fishmen is already regarded as killing chickens with a knife, Bai Qi didn't even use the steel core flow force method, and only used his own strength to nail the fishmen to the ground.
Throwing guns, as the main means of long-range attack for soldiers in the city-state era, was a skill that every Leoni soldier had to master, and as a sailor, this technique was even more important, so Roundup's throwing skills were not even much worse than Bai Qi's.
In the blink of an eye, a dozen fish-men who rushed towards them were pinned to the ground.
However, as they advance, more and more fishmen spot them, forcing them to run and open their way with their throwing guns.
Barrian, who was protected by Bai Qi and Rounda in the middle, never made a move, because the caster was very sensitive to magic fluctuations, and once Barian made a move, it was easy to alarm their target, the two fish-man shamans.
As the three of them got deeper and deeper into the crowd of black-scaled fish, they got closer and closer to the two black-scaled priests, and at this time, the shape on the battlefield changed a little. (To be continued).
