The remnant sun was like blood, blowing the autumn wind slightly, carrying the last invisible trace of gunpowder smoke after the war.

A violent collision between flesh and steel, just staged here and ended here.

Beneath the tall, sturdy rock walls, layers of mangled corpses were piled up, and endless blood flowed out, staining the entire land black and red.

The scattered battlefield was littered with broken arrow feathers, discarded broken or broken stone weapons, and soldiers who were so badly wounded that they could not retreat and were constantly wailing bitterly.

The leader who stood on the city wall looked at the defeated backs of those who fled in the direction of the military camp without looking back, and looked at the hundreds of corpses left on the battlefield.

They knew that the first wave of attacks from the Southern Expeditionary Army, even if their tentative attack had ended here, or ended with a major defeat.

Such a result should be a blow to these arrogant invaders.

In the short hour of attack, those rough shields made of wood could not give them any safety protection, and as soon as they entered the attack range of the Fire Tribe, they were suppressed by the Fire Tribe's dense bows and arrows and powerful giant crossbows.

This is not a reciprocal war at all, but a one-sided bloody massacre.

The leader Lie did not go out of the city to pursue, because of the casualties of these hundreds of people. For the huge army of 30,000 people, it was only a drop in the bucket, and it did not reach the point of breaking the muscles and bones.

And the vast majority of the dead were still siege slave warriors, and the elite warriors of their own tribe did not suffer many casualties, and their strength was still there.

It was just a regular pre-war trial, except that this time the slave warriors died more.

The leader of the Southern Expedition stood on a high platform built behind the attacking army and watched the specific battle situation of the battle in front from a distance.

Immediately, I felt that those rumors about the Fire Tribe did not have any false elevation, and the strength they showed was more powerful, more difficult, and more tricky than the rumors.

What now?

He frowned, thinking carefully.

......

The walls of the Fire Tribe, with towering mountains on one side, lead to the vast and boundless river, and the length of its frontal attack is about 100 meters.

It was like the mouth of a gourd, tightly guarding the way in and out of the Fire Tribe's station.

The narrow front made the army of as many as 30,000 people unable to give full play to the advantage of numbers, and was severely suppressed and weakened.

After all, no matter how many people you have, in a frontal attack, only the hundreds of people in front of you can come into face-to-face contact with the enemy.

Moreover, such unfavorable terrain could not give full play to the tactics of encirclement and outflanking derived from the numerical superiority.

It seems that until a suitable and effective way to attack can be found, the attack can only be suspended.

After seeing the attacking troops that had fled, the leader of the Southern Expedition decided the next move, first camping to besiege the Fire Tribe, and slowly waiting for the opportunity to attack.

The huge gates opened, and the more than 100 members of the Fire Tribe, who had been waiting for a long time, came to the city and began to collect the corpses of the enemy warriors who had died in battle. This is also to prevent the occurrence of plagues.

Mend the wounded enemy warriors and give them a good time to get them out of their painful torment.

The collected bodies were not disposed of and were thrown into the nearby river.

Suddenly, the originally clear water of the river was stained red with blood, and the ferocious predatory fish under the water swarmed after hearing the news, gnawing on the mutilated corpses.

At midnight, the wilderness was pitch black.

The gates of the Fire Tribe's walls slowly opened, and out of them came an army of about two hundred men, who sat in four-wheeled carriages equipped with giant crossbows.

They all passed quietly and slowly through the gates, and the hooves of the two-horned horses that pulled the carts were also wrapped in thick animal skins, and the mouths of the horses were even more sealed, all to keep the march quiet.

Running the spiritual power in their bodies, even in the darkest nights, the vision of these warriors is like day, and the darkness cannot stop the pace of progress!

The powerful crossbows were all wound, but the arrows had changed. Mitsubishi arrowheads, which were originally sharp and cold, have now become a flammable substance.

What are they doing here?

To set fire, of course. This was the second part of the plan that Su Ming and the others had worked out together - to make full use of the advantages that the Fire Tribe now had to exhaust the enemy army.

The Fire Tribe warriors can see at night, so use the cover of the night to slowly approach the enemy's camp, and the tribe's giant crossbow has super power and super long range, which can be used to continuously attack the military camp of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

Under the cover of darkness, the giant crossbow was used to kill people and set fires, carry out surprise attacks, and also burn the tents where the enemy lived, hoard supplies, and let their soldiers often rise up to pursue, so as to extinguish the fire, but they could not have a quiet night.

It is necessary to keep the enemy's fighters on constant tension, to constantly be on alert and anxious, to exhaust their minds and bodies, and to weaken their will and combat power.

In the camp of the Southern Expeditionary Army, there were blazing bonfires everywhere, and the entire camp was illuminated.

The guards on guard duty were all serious, listening attentively to the sounds outside the camp, and their eyes widened as they looked at the dark and desolate plain. Abnormal alertness.

Campfires were also set up outside the camp, about 100 meters away from the camp, so that the guards could see farther.

In the dark places that ordinary people can't see, some secret agents are also arranged to guard the places that can't be illuminated by the bonfire, so that the scope of early warning is wider.

It seems that they have also made some preparations, made some early warning measures in advance, and also prevented the fire tribe from coming out at night to carry out a sneak attack.

All these arrangements seem so good, but ......

Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound of arrows slicing through the air resounded in the sky, advancing from afar.

If you look up at the sky, you will see a lot of firelight like meteorites cutting through the sky, heading directly towards the tent.

It was the Fire Tribe's crossbow forces attacking.

In a few moments, the fire from the crossbow bolts ignited the animal skin tents in the camp, one after the other, and then the tents stacked with supplies began to burn.

Suddenly, the sharp and terrible sound of firefighting and enemy attacks continued to sound in the sky above the huge camp, and the soldiers who had just fallen asleep suddenly reflexively bounced directly from the bed, and the protective leather armor did not have time to wear, so they grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the camp.

Illuminated by numerous bonfires, some of them went outside the camp to prepare for the enemy, while others went to put out the fire and salvage the supplies in the camp. Under the firelight, you can clearly see that they are a little flustered and a little chaotic.

Especially in the slave camps, the sudden attack was accompanied by brutal camp roars and riots.

Those slave warriors directly took their weapons and began to attack each other, especially those who usually had contradictions or hatreds, and they were even more merciless. Some of the warriors went completely insane, attacking every living person he saw, and those who came within three meters of them were dead.

But before the slave rebellion could spread out of the slave camp, it was suppressed by the reacting tribal warriors.

All of a sudden, the entire slave camp was covered in blood and corpses, which was an unexpected surprise for the Fire Tribe's attacking forces.

After such a fuss, the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army should not want to rest quietly.

Especially after the incident of the camp roar, their already low sense of security has become even lower. Because everyone is afraid that in their sleep, they will be unknowingly or confusedly taken by someone, and the death will be unknown.

Not long after the attack, the leader of the Southern Expedition sent a unicorn force as his own guard to search and pursue the arrows where they had come from, hoping to catch up with the attackers and then kill them.

But when they got there, they saw only some rut marks and a burning fire.

It turned out that the giant crossbow troops, after firing a round of crossbow arrows, immediately fled in the four-wheeled carriage.

The giant crossbow was mounted directly on the four-wheeled carriage, providing good mobility for the warriors of the Fire Tribe, and even the elite unicorn guards could not catch them.

After calming down the chaos for a short time, the camp of the Southern Expeditionary Army slowly fell into silence again.

But the soldiers in the tent were all dressed in leather armor, with their weapons in hand, lying quietly on the bed, in high spirits, and the eyes that were tired and interfering could not be closed, and they could not return to the beginning at all, and they could rest at ease and boldly.

In this long dark night, the fire tribe's giant crossbow attacked the troops, and launched two more attacks on the camp of the Southern Expeditionary Army, irregularly.

Although this did not kill or injure many enemies, it also completely broke the desire of the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army to have a good rest.
