Text Chapter 686 Guarding the Mountain
Brute beast, for the people of the Great Liao Kingdom, this is not a strange existence. Ordinary soldiers often fight with brute beasts, and even ordinary people may encounter brute beasts, and even some of the more powerful ordinary people have killed brute beasts with their own strength, of course, but everyone knows that if the brute beasts only appear alone, there is naturally not much to worry about, even ordinary people may use some special means to kill the brute beasts that act alone, but if they appear in groups, once ordinary people encounter them, they will only be slaughtered.
This time, Zhou Yu followed this special army from Shenmu City to fight against the brute beasts, which was also a very risky thing in itself. Of course, for the current Zhou Yu, he has no pressure at all, after all, according to some of Hua Liang and Song Sanmu's accounts, Zhou Yu also learned that brute beasts are just some extraordinarily strong beasts in the final analysis, which will not change in nature, and even if Zhou Yu still can't wear armor on his body now, but with his continuous cultivation and continuous transformation of his body over the years, he can still have a very strong advantage in strength, this advantage is still quite important, and it is also the capital that he dares to appear here now.
The news of the sudden attack of the brute beast made Song Sanmu even more nervous, but to be precise, he should be more cautious now. Song Sanmu looked at the direction where the news came from and said, "Come with me." β
Zhou Yu and Hua Liang and Song Sanmu's other eight guards all rushed over with Song Sanmu, and now the response of those bigwigs in Shenmu City is quite good, although they suddenly received the news of the attack of the brute beast, but soon under the arrangement of a main general, these soldiers and young nobles who originally came out to hunt have their own tasks.
As a general, Song Sanmu naturally has his corresponding tasks. It's just that this time he came out just for hunting, and he brought three hundred people with him, and now these three hundred of them are stationed in a garrison. Hua Liang didn't seem too nervous, and even looked like he was still eager to try what was about to happen, this guy was actually an optimist plus he seemed to be a martial maniac, although he didn't have the kind of characteristics of an ascetic, but Hua Liang had a characteristic that people still appreciated, that is, he was not timid, and he seemed very relaxed when the war was imminent, and this kind of mentality was naturally the best mentality.
After a short time, Zhou Yu saw the figure of a brute beast appear from a distance, and after he looked carefully, he found that these brute beasts were the same as what Hua Liang said before, the appearance of these brute beasts was very similar to the bison, and it probably looked like a bison, but these bison-like brute beasts had clearly shown their difference from the bison at least one point, that is, their speed. These brute beasts that look like bison are extremely fast, and when they appear, they are like thunder, and soon these bison brute beasts will impact the defense line that Song Sanmu has just arranged, at this time, Zhou Yu is more or less inapplicable, after all, in the previous time, even if he was trapped on the Xingwen Mountain Range, he still carried the defense line up, and the defense line established at that time also had a very important factor, that is, the mechanical fortress.
Zhou Yu has been accustomed to using the mechanical fortress in a large-scale war, after all, where there is a mechanical fortress, it is equivalent to having a fixed firepower point, but now Zhou Yu can't think of any way to put down the defense line here, except for looking more stable, he really doesn't know how to execute it in order to win this battle.
Soon, Zhou Yu saw how these people fought, the combat mode of these people was almost exactly the same as what Zhou Yu had guessed before, the most important means of their long-range strike was the longbow, and then it was throwing weapons, such as spears and the like, the number of archers in Song Sanmu's team was not much, but the number of throwers was relatively balanced, and in Zhou Yu's opinion, throwing did not seem to be much more powerful than archers, after all, if a large number of flying spears were thrown directly, of course, they could also burst out with quite powerful power, and Zhou Yu now has a certain understanding of thisγ
The biggest flaw of the Throwers is that their range is not as long as that of the Archers, but their attacks are a bit more violent. But the rough skin and thick flesh of those brute beasts are now fully displayed. Zhou Yu has always seemed to be in a lively state, watching a big battle break out here, and the combat effectiveness that broke out after these grenadiers and archers entered the battle was not able to give Zhou Yu back how amazing a feeling he had, in his opinion, in fact, the offensive of these people was nothing more, this is the evaluation he is now giving these people.
Of course, Zhou Yu didn't say his thoughts and evaluations, after all, Zhou Yu always understood one thing, that is, in this world where there is almost no technology, and there is no way for humans to cultivate themselves to a stronger realm, it is really difficult for some strong people to expect the people here to burst out with the kind of impact and lethality of the legion he has in Liubo City.
It's just that at this time, Zhou Yu found that even if Song Sanmu and their defensive posture were good, the corresponding preparations made now could still deal with those who had already started the battle. It's just that I have to admit that the strength of these brute beasts is really strong now, and their physical talent is really high, when facing such an offensive, the number of brute beasts falling is not too much, and the team of brute beasts is still attacking this side.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu no longer planned to continue watching the excitement, he walked to Song Sanmu and said, "Don't think of any more ways, if these beasts rush over, our only way is to fight each other." β
Zhou Yu was telling the truth, but Song Sanmu didn't know that such a thing existed, but he really didn't have any better way to deal with this situation now. As Zhou Yu said, if they continue like this, the power of the battlefield by their long-range strike means is those, and once the brute beasts that are impacting this side now really want to pose a threat to their position, what Song Sanmu can do is to command these people under him to engage with the brute beasts at that time. But in fact, this is the first mistake, because once it is necessary to fight with the brute beast like this, whether Song Sanmu and they can hold on to it now, this is really something that is unknown.
After seeing that Song Sanmu seemed to be a little at a loss now, Zhou Yu simply stopped thinking about getting any useful news from Song Sanmu. In this battle, Zhou Yu's role seems to be to protect Song Sanmu, as long as Song Sanmu is not threatened by life, Zhou Yu will naturally complete the task perfectly, but seeing the current situation, Zhou Yu finally chose to take the initiative, in his opinion, Song Sanmu is basically no danger at all, not to mention that Song Sanmu still needs to command the battle, and it is impossible to count on Song Sanmu for this kind of thing, confirming this, Zhou Yu said directly:" Later, when they get closer, I'll go out and interact. β
Song Sanmu was stunned at first, he didn't expect Zhou Yu to offer to help at this time, but he soon agreed to Zhou Yu's suggestion. After all, Zhou Yu's strength is there, and his strength is beyond doubt, Song Sanmu is now a clever woman who is difficult to cook, and they came out to hunt under the name of this time, so although Song Sanmu brought some people, the number of throwing weapons and arrows equipped on his body has gradually become insufficient, in this case, if there is a strong figure leading the soldiers here to charge or fight positional battles, it must be better than without Zhou Yu's help.
"Then ...... Be careful. After Song Sanmu was stunned for a long time, he finally held back such a sentence, and this particularly abrupt sentence made Song Sanmu feel a little embarrassed. It turned out that unconsciously, he was already full of expectations for Zhou Yu, and even really wanted Zhou Yu to do things well.
Zhou Yu didn't take people with him, and Song Sanmu really forgot to arrange for Zhou Yu to endure it. Hua Liang saw that Zhou Yu really planned to rush out single-handedly, and he couldn't help shouting: "Brother Zhou, don't go." β
As soon as he finished saying this, Hua Liang also knew that he would definitely offend people very much, he subconsciously covered his mouth, but after thinking about it, the words that should be said to offend him had already been said, so he simply put down his hand again and said, "Even if you go, take someone with you, it's too dangerous to go by yourself." β
Song Sanmu was still indifferent, he naturally couldn't feel sorry for the people under him, since he had already asked Zhou Yu for something, he would definitely not do anything that made Zhou Yu too cold. And the main reason why he didn't send people this time was that in his opinion, Zhou Yu's strength was very strong, even so strong that it seemed that there was no way to send helpers, once the war started, a strong man like Zhou Yu would not organize a battle at all, and secondly, they didn't want to have any restraints on the battlefield, so naturally they hoped to have a more adequate space for battle. What Song Sanmu is doing now is to give him enough space for him to perform, and not to send people over to support, but to reduce the burden on his side. If he sends out some people to fight with him now, not only will these people not be able to form any cooperation under Zhou Yu's men at all, even if they really have enough courage to charge with Zhou Yu, they will definitely become timid because of their strength, and in the end, they will become a burden to Zhou Yu, and even impress the morale of the soldiers here.
It was precisely because he thought so much that Song Sanmu finally insisted on putting on an indifferent expression, but when he looked at Zhou Yu, there was still a pair of incomparably complicated eyes under the indifferent expression, and the most in his eyes was of course full of desire, and the rest was still an obvious sense of reparation. Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile when he looked at Song Sanmu's awkward posture now, the points and shortcomings of this guy are obvious, and the fact that he wants to save face is also one of Song Sanmu's biggest characteristics, and now Zhou Yu doesn't know whether to evaluate this is a feature or a shortcoming. Now in order to be able to fight, and not to be soft in front of everyone, especially because he is too lazy to explain to Hua Liang, so now he can only find a way to "explain" these things by himself, but the way he explains is still too special, and he actually counts on eye contact.
"The pride of young people. He sighed in his heart, then turned around and walked slowly down the hill. The camp they were stationed in before was on a hillside, in fact, there were many temporary camps like Song Sanmu and them in this vicinity, and now these camps are actually facing almost the same problem, that is, the throwing weapons and arrow feathers they prepared at the beginning may really not be enough, and the insufficient number of these weapons will cause the brute beasts to completely attack their camp after withstanding their initial defense, and the only advantage that the soldiers in these camps can rely on is the hillside, at least they can prepare a rolling stone before the brute attack, but after the last of the three-plate axes is also used up, the brutal war of hand-to-hand combat will definitely break out.
In fact, Zhou Yu is just doing this in advance now, and even when everyone fights together and fights with those brute beasts that rush up, it is difficult for Zhou Yu to integrate with these people, so in fact, it can be said that Song Sanmu's vision and insistence are also very correct. Anyway, no matter whether it was earlier or later, once Zhou Yu went into battle, he would definitely be fighting alone on the battlefield by himself, and it was impossible for such a person to fight with these ordinary soldiers around them with ordinary weapons. Therefore, it is better to let Zhou Yu act in advance, although this will make his strength consume in advance, and it may really affect Zhou Yu's safety, but at least in this way, it is still possible to let Song Sanmu know more about these brute beasts through Zhou Yu's early battle.
In fact, Song Sanmu is also very helpless now, including those bigwigs in Shenmu City who had other ideas at the beginning and brought them here without telling them, they didn't think about breaking out such a big war here at the beginning. After all, the reason why those bigwigs wanted to do this kind of thing at the beginning was because the brute beasts that attacked this time gave people a feeling that they should not be at all right, they seemed to have become more brutal, their strength seemed to have improved, and their strange slaughter behavior after defeating the stronghold here was a factor that these bigwigs were very concerned about at the beginning and were more nervous. So they organized these people to fight, and the main purpose of their coming out this time was not to fight, but to find out the news.
Relying on the fact that these people in the aristocratic class can bring out more strength, and they are also more able to adapt to the complex environment here, if you want to call on the soldiers who have just been forcibly recruited into the army, or who have just joined the army, which are now hoarded in Shenmu City, to do these things, it is just the complexity and prosperity of those people's difficult control and command transmission, it is destined that once they encounter too many unexpected situations on this battlefield, the final result will definitely be the annihilation of the whole army, once this happens, it is really unimaginable how tragic the consequences will beγ
It is precisely because what they wanted to do at the beginning was to take the elite route, and then find out the corresponding news here, but such an idea has not yet been realized, and they don't need to take the initiative to inquire about the news they need, and a large number of enemies will directly rush out, disrupting their plans at the same time, and putting them in a more dangerous situation.
Song Sanmu's eyes have never left Zhou Yu since Zhou Yu left their camp, in fact, since the battle with Zhou Yu, Song Sanmu has felt Zhou Yu's specialness, according to Hua Liang, Song Sanmu is definitely a martial arts master, that is, a strong man in this world, in terms of martial arts training, Song Sanmu has a high talent and has exercised good eyesight. So he can naturally see that the martial arts mastered by Zhou Yu don't even know if they can be attributed to the combat methods of martial arts. Of course, it's not bad to pay attention to efficiency, but I have to admit that the master has made a move, and sometimes it is necessary to combine the virtual and the real.
In Song Sanmu's view, Zhou Yu's combat skills are indeed full of flaws of one kind or another, but even those who have obvious flaws in their combat methods actually beat themselves to the ground. Song Sanmu did not deny that some of Zhou Yu's skills were still very strong, for example, his phantom marksmanship was also brutally defeated by the opponent with a spirit binding frame when he was running at high speed, which showed that Zhou Yu could also understand his marksmanship, or at least see the flaws in it from the level of skills, which is of course part of his strength.
But the most Central Asian, in Song Sanmu's opinion, the most terrifying thing about Zhou Yu is actually the strength of his body, Zhou Yu is not only powerful, but also very fast, and also has the characteristics of high flexibility. A person's physical fitness can be strong to such an extent, this is the first time Song Sanmu has seen it, it is precisely because he realizes that Zhou Yu's strong physique has exceeded his cognition, as if it has reached the level of unpredictability, Song Sanmu will pay special attention to Zhou Yu at this time.
Zhou Yu is not a person who is willing to be strong, he knows his current state very well, since there is no way to put on armor, he naturally knows how to ensure his safety to the greatest extent. He chose the foot of the hill to stand firm, and then threw the band to the ground.
