Volume 2: The Loose World Chapter 115: Retest (17) Tribal Guard Battle
The Fire Tribe, which had besieged the city wall for twenty years, encountered stronger and stronger resistance from the Wood Tribe, and saw that the strength of the Wood Tribe, which continued to increase, and finally could no longer sit idly by.
Showing great shock and fear at the growing strength of the Wood Tribe, the leader and the witch finally made up their minds to show their true ability to nip the fledgling Wood tribe in the bud.
They had been preparing for the battle for several years, stockpiling a large amount of supplies, and finding a way to overcome the threat of big fish in the river and climb over the hill-like walls according to each attack.
They also found that during the birth season, there would be a fixed day, and the number of people guarding the mountain would be greatly reduced, and only a few half-sized dolls would be left to watch, so they waited and launched a general attack on this day of the year.
Finding the sudden appearance of the Fire Tribe, the patrol picked up the sackcloth mallet and immediately beat the war drums on the upper floor of the new city, and when the tribesmen heard the drums and rushed over, the Fire Tribe had already launched an attack.
The great sacrifice is of great significance to the people, no one wants to be absent during the sacrifice, but the work can be stopped, but the city gate cannot be guarded, and the warriors send their children to help watch for a while.
At this moment, there are only about 20 teenagers on the city wall, even though their bodies are as strong as a cow, but after all, they are the strength of ordinary people, and the power of the wooden spears and stones shot is limited, and they cannot stop the enemy's attack.
Five hundred warriors of the Fire Tribe attacked, and only a few low-level ones were sent to stop their attacks easily, and more people stood outside the range of bows and arrows, holding large and small stones, and smashing forward.
The power of the bow and arrow made them remember it vividly, and there were a few teenagers on the wall, holding inferior weak bows, but they didn't know the gap, and they didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, so they could only stand far away and throw stones.
The distance was too far, and the weight of the stones was not low, so it was impossible to smash through the three-zhang high city wall and hurt the people on the wall, but their goal was not the city wall, but the moat outside the city, and they wanted to fill the river with stones.
When the young men guarding the city saw their actions, they also guessed their thoughts, and they were so anxious that their heads smoked, but they had no power to stop them, so they could only beat the war drums wildly, hoping that the tribesmen would come quickly.
A large number of stones fell into the moat, constantly smashing huge splashes, and the big fish in the river fled frantically, and it didn't take long for the river to be close to five zhang, and it was paved with stones that the warriors of the Fire Tribe stopped.
I saw dozens of flesh and blood warriors dragging out long wooden spears, straight roots, arm thick, spear heads sharpened, they raised their spears and threw them out with all their might, and the wooden spears made a sound of breaking wind.
The sharp wooden spear crossed the stone road and shot head-on at the earthen wall, and suddenly the earth chips splashed, and the huge force made the spear go deep into the Sanhe soil, and it was stuck in the earthen wall, and the uneven spear turned into an undulating ladder.
A powerful warrior of qi and blood can jump one foot high, a more powerful flesh and blood warrior can jump two feet, and a flesh and bone warrior in the later stage can jump three feet high, and with a spear tiptoe, a warrior can easily cross the earthen wall.
After doing this, the two major threats were lifted, the fire leader gave an order, the warriors of the fire tribe roared angrily, and began a fierce attack, and at the critical moment, the neighing of the war horse sounded, and the fastest cavalry came first.
Each war horse carried four people at the same time, except for the cavalry who drove the horses, the other three people all held oxen and horses with strong bows and leather quivers, which were the strongest archers in the tribe at present.
Forty people jumped up from the back of the war horse, stepped directly on the wooden row of the inner wall, jumped onto the low inner wall, the archers stood in rows, holding bows and arrows, dozens of feathered arrows fired in unison, and the dozen or so people who rushed to the front wailed and fell.
Feather arrows are just ordinary flint arrows, but for humans who don't have thick skin, they have a very powerful threat, and the number of bronze spearheads is limited, and the most important weapon, of course, is reserved for the most important fire bosses.
Bursts of feathered arrows came in, and ten horsemen with slings and spear-throwing machines threw stones and wooden spears, and the young men went down with their wounded companions to deliver supplies to the warriors.
Forty archers and cavalry joined the battlefield, greatly stifling the charge of the Fire Tribe, the casualties of the warriors became heavier and heavier, the fire leader spoke again, the other warriors retreated with the wounded, and several more rows of warriors rushed out of the jungle.
The new rows of warriors held rudimentary wooden shields and rattan shields in their hands, and their defensive strength was not as good as that of the tribe, but the casualties of the Fire tribe plummeted, the threat of flint arrows plummeted, and the team slowly advanced.
The limited number of wooden spears and stones did not stifle their advance, and the flint arrows could not penetrate the planks, and the archers could only aim at their bare arms and other limbs, and the damage was not high, and the results were not satisfactory.
Fortunately, the other warriors of the tribe quickly rushed to the city wall and joined the battlefield one after another, and hundreds of warriors climbed to the top of the city, and the number of wooden spears and stones increased greatly, interrupting the advance of the fire tribe.
The Fire Tribe moved out more wooden shields and vine shields, and stood in the rain of spearheads and stones, the resources of the Wood Tribe were limited, and there were not many rolling stones and wooden spears for battle, which were quickly consumed and cleaned, and the density was greatly reduced.
At this time, the people of the fire tribe continued to advance, and one after another people stepped on the stone pile to cross the river, and when they reached the bottom of the earthen wall, they held the shield with one hand and the wooden spear with the other hand to climb, and the fire tribe carried the boulder and threw it.
In a short time, there were brave fire warriors, the first to climb the city wall, and the wooden warriors to fight, the battle quickly opened, blood spilled, stone knife to stone knife, stone axe to stone axe, there were exchanges, very fierce.
The flint weapons used by the two tribes both eat salt, hunt, and eat well, both are large, and their combat effectiveness should be about the same, but the reality is that they are fighting at the same level, and the fire warriors are far from being the opponents of the wooden warriors.
The wood tribe has eaten mutated plants for a long time, and there have been many mutations in the body, with greater strength, longer stamina, faster speed, sharper perception, more coordinated body, more sufficient physical strength, and more resistant to beating.
In addition, in addition to hunting, the wood witches also trained them, and their combat skills were more abundant, most of the fire warriors were surrounded by animal skins and grass skirts, while the wood warriors wore leather armor with strong defense.
The sharp flint knife and axe, which can only be split after a few splits, also has a buffer for the strength, a fire warrior can not beat a wooden warrior, can only be defeated and retreated, and the danger is full of dangers, only two people join forces, can barely suppress it.
Among them, the flesh and bone warriors of the fire tribe are holding navy blue bronze weapons, which are much harder and sharper than flint, and in just a few collisions, the flint weapons of the fire warriors have been all over the cracks and almost collapsed.
The defeat of the fire tribe was faster than expected, and the warriors who climbed the city wall were quickly repulsed, and the fire leader looked at the cyan stone tools in the hands of the enemy, shocked and angry, and had no choice but to strike early.
A long log the thickness of a bucket, with a raging flame, slammed into the wooden door of the earthen wall, the sawdust shattered, sparks splashed everywhere, and the heavy double-opening wooden door shattered into several pieces in an instant, and the door was wide open.
The flesh and blood warriors in the middle and late stages still leaped towards the earthen wall, and the other warriors abandoned their goals and rushed towards the empty gate, and more than a dozen shield warriors, holding heavy Teng shields, appeared and blocked the back of the gate.
The fire leader behind him struck again, and threw another burning log, the fire was dazzling and fierce, and the shield wall composed of a dozen warriors cracked, killing five people on the spot, and the rest were seriously injured.
The wounded were taken off the battlefield by the young man, and more shield soldiers blocked the gate again, the fire tribe laughed and wanted to shoot, dozens of feather arrows had been shot head-on, and he hurriedly raised the giant shield next to him to block the dense rain of arrows.
But at this moment, a strong sense of danger arose, and an arrow made entirely of bronze pierced through the thick wooden shield, pierced through the leather coat on his body, and shot through his right chest, through his left ribs, and into the tree behind him.
The vitality of the alien warrior is extremely strong, and the bronze arrow does not hurt the heart, so it will not cause life-threatening danger, but the pain of such a body being pierced makes the fire leader not hold back, and let out a deafening roar of pain.
The leader of the wood tribe standing on the city wall, Ju, returned the strong bow of oxen and horses to an archer, carried a heavy halberd made of all bronze, jumped off the city wall, and rushed towards the fire leader, the sharp halberd, and smashed the two fire warriors on the way.
The archers also replaced their bronze arrowheads, and instead of paying attention to the charging warriors, turned their gaze to the fire chief, who let out an angry roar, threw away his heavy shield, and charged with his all-stone axe.
The archers on the wall took the opportunity to attack, dozens of bronze arrows burst out, the fire tribe spewed flames, and the bamboo arrow shafts burned in an instant, leaving the red bronze arrows with greatly reduced power, only to pierce the thick rhinoceros skin on his body.
The wooden leader dodged the flames, the bronze halberd and the flint axe collided violently, the sparks burst out, the bronze halberd was intact, but the flint axe had a crack, but the moment was swept away by the fire leader's great force, and it fell back a few feet.
The strength of the moment is not as strong as that of the fire leader, and he does not dare to touch his flames, and the first few collisions are all at an absolute disadvantage, but the weapon is stronger than him, and with the flexible body, he can barely entangle with him.
After more than a dozen collisions, the giant axe in the fire leader's hand weakly shattered into pieces, he threw away the handle of the axe, and vented the flames angrily, and he could only continue to dodge in a hurry, and the halberd in his hand was burned red.
The Wood Witch appeared on the city wall, urging the power of the wood, and the thick thorn wood that wrapped around the earthen wall instantly changed from lifeless to vibrant, growing wildly, and a dozen thorn strips stretched out, covered with hideous thorns.
The tenacious and sharp thorn strips broke through the ground from the city gate, pierced through a dozen fire warriors, and attacked the fire leader, who spewed flames in response, and took the opportunity to sweep his chest with a halberd.
The fire leader hurriedly dodged, avoiding his chest, a cut in his stomach, and hot blood flowed out, and the thorns passed through the sea of fire, burning with flames, and continued to attack him, stabbing several holes.
The thorn strip was tough and sharp, unlike normal vines, even if the flames were blazing, they did not immediately lose their activity, and still attacked the fire leader, so that he could only dodge in a hurry, and gradually turned into a disadvantage.
The archer's bronze arrows, the burning thorns, and the wooden leader's bronze halberd, combined with the exchange, launched a continuous attack on him, and the fire leader hurriedly spat out flames, and the raging fire became his most solid defense.
Soon, the burning thorn strips completely turned into black coal, fell to the ground and shattered, and the fire leader was in a good mood, but the two thorn strips that had been dormant for a long time broke the earth from under him and entangled his feet.
At the same time, a rain of bronze arrows came from the surface, and the fire leader erupted in anger, enveloping all the arrows, and the wood leader took the opportunity to lurk in front of him, the bronze halberd breaking through the rhinoceros skin, and the halberd blade plunged into his body from the abdomen.
"Retreat!" the Wood Witch shouted from behind, but Ju did not retreat, and lifted the bronze halberd upward, trying to tear apart the body of the fire leader, but the fire leader pressed him hard, and the abilities gradually converged, and a terrifying heat wave erupted......
