The fourth round: the soldiers are coming to the city
The music is the military song "Golden Lightning" of the Golden Griffin Legion, and the song is the same as that of his comrades, and he begins to sing with his head held high as he begins to advance.
"The cliffs are our homeland, the sky is our battlefield, and we are a golden lightning bolt that forever shoots in the direction of our king's scepter. ”
"The king's scepter pointed to the mountains, and we skimmed over them, even if the stones rained down. ”
"The king's scepter pointed to the field, and we swept through it, even if the arrows were as thick as locusts. ”
"The king's scepter is pointed at the sea, and we sweep over it, even if the waves are rolling. ”
"Our howls terrify our enemies, our claws tear apart walls, and our iron wings stir the storm. ”
"Ah, the golden griffin, the golden lightning bolt, always follows my king's scepter, and crushes the golden flash of all enemies!"
The rapid snare drums, the high-pitched military songs, the swords and guns like the forest, and the flags like the clouds gave birth to a hot feeling in Gao Ge's heart.
Xiaobian Gao Ge, he should be regarded as a literati, but he is also a man, which man has not dreamed of Jin Ge Iron Horse!
Gao Ge is no exception, otherwise he would not have chosen Tang Dynasty Biansai poetry as his main research direction when he was studying for a master's degree in ancient Chinese.
Get on the horse to hit the crazy beard, get off the horse and write the military book, this kind of life used to be the object of singing for a long time.
A long procession of more than 3,000 people slowly drove out of the camp, due south, and the target was Weishan City, outside the defense line of the Great Wall, the central castle of Suoman Jiulian City, which was nailed into the Southern Barbarian Realm, and was also the first military important place to be captured in this Nanban invasion.
Regain Weishan City and drive the Nanban ugly people back to the boundless forest, and this counterattack will be over.
This kind of tug-of-war has been repeated in this land for nearly a thousand years.
The savanna after the rain was wet everywhere, and there was no road in the field, but several armies had already driven in front of them, and they had already stepped on a dirt road.
There are faint pieces of oil flowers blooming in the muddy water, which is a manifestation of the extremely fertile land, the soil is extremely vigorous, and the fertilizer is flowing oil.
"What a fertile land! These abominable brute dogs, if it weren't for them, the savanna would have been turned into fertile land, and how many people would have to be able to feed!"
Gurley looked around in regret as he walked.
To be sure, Gurley was not a good soldier, but he was a good farmer, a young master of an aristocratic old family, and although he was only a concubine, he liked to run around the fields all day long, and talk and laugh with the old peasants, which used to be circulated as a joke in the hometown of Gao Ge and Gerley.
For this reason, Gurley has not been whipped by old Dawson, but he has never been able to change this hobby.
"Why don't trees grow on such a fertile land?" Gao Ge asked.
"You don't even know this?" Gurley fussed, but was relieved at the thought of the other party's high song, "Every year in the first month after the dry season, our Tuyue Kingdom will send troops to sweep the entire savanna. The first is to drive away the small barbarian tribes that quietly sneak into the savanna to beg for a living, and the second is to cut down the small saplings that were born back then, so that the savanna can never form a forest. ”
"Without the cover of the woods, the Nanbanians are like fish leaving the deep water and entering the shallows, as soon as they come out of the forest, they will be discovered by us, and they will no longer be able to launch a large-scale raid. Darigori added in a deep voice.
"So, the savanna is a man-made buffer zone?" Gao sighed.
"Yes, the savanna is bordered by the Great Wall built by the Wangduan Mountains in the north, the boundless Nanban Forest in the south, a thousand miles from east to west, and one hundred and fifty miles from north to south. From east to west, nine castles were built at nine dangerous terrain points in the grassland. The grassland and the castle, like a shackle with nails, locked the Southern Barbarians in the forest. It can be said that the savanna is the most important line of defense to protect the southern border of the entire Central Plains and Kyushu. Darigori emphasized the last sentence emphatically.
"Look, there's a situation over there!" the sharp-eyed Gurley suddenly pointed to the left side of the group.
On the top of a small slope about two hundred meters away, one of the scouts in charge of the guard on the left side was desperately waving the flag.
"Team Eugene, go see what's going on!" the squadron leader ordered in a loud voice.
Ten fighters, including the Gao Ge detachment, quickly moved to the left side of the team and climbed to the top of the small slope.
After climbing to the top of the slope, Gao Ge saw a terrifying scene that he had never seen in his life.
On the top of the slope, there are dead people everywhere, all of them are terrifying, either their bodies and heads are separated, or their stomachs are broken, and their livers and brains are smeared on the ground, obviously all of them have been tortured and killed.
The air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, and swarms of large green-headed flies had begun to gather, and there was a "buzzing" sound everywhere.
finally restrained the vomiting sensation churning in his stomach, but Gao Ge saw that Gerly was already pale and vomited on the side.
Darigori, who had inspected several corpses, slowly stood up, his body seemed to be wrapped in ice, and said in a terrifyingly cold voice: "These are the residents of Weishan City who escaped when the city was broken, and they were caught up by the Nanban here......"
"These brutes!" the soldiers of the squad gritted their back molars, and their eyes seemed to be spewing fire.
When turning another hill at the top of the slope, an even more tragic scene occurred.
The corpses of dozens of young women are concentrated here, red and fruitful, horizontal and vertical, and white flowers.
Several of the better-looking girls died the worst, they were obviously the targets of the attack, their lower abdomen bulging high, and a large amount of filth flowing from their abdomen mixed with blood soaked them.
And on the bodies of several young girls, there are still terrible wounds that have been bitten and gnawed, and even some sensitive parts are completely missing, it is hard to imagine what kind of crazy and terrible injuries they suffered before they died.
"I'm going to kill all these brute dogs!" Gerley's pale face turned red with rage, and his hand gripping the halberd trembled slightly from overexertion.
"They should have been buried first. Gao Ge also felt a fire in his chest, burning and blocking.
"Leave this to the rearguards, our mission is to hurry to Weishan City and avenge them. Darigori shook the half-man-high heavy shield in his hand and shouted.
"Revenge!"
"Revenge!"
The roar of more than a dozen people actually had a faint unstoppable momentum.
Soon, the entire legion roared.
Driven by hatred, it only took two hours for the Golden Griffin Legion to rush to the city of Weishan.
In the distance, the boundless Nanban forest looms, and out of the forest a large river rushes out, glistening in the sunlight and winding its way across the savanna to the sky.
The Wuding River is named after the changeable riverbed and the fact that it changes its course almost once a year after the rainy season, creating the mother river of the entire savanna.
In this place, the Wuding River turns an almost 90-degree bend, and at this 90-degree angle, there is a hill rising from the ground.
The hill is not too high, about 300 meters, but it is undoubtedly a rare commanding height in the savanna of the Ichima Pingchuan.
Moreover, the hill is also surrounded by water on three sides, and even a person who knows nothing about military affairs can see that this is a place where the terrain is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Weishan City is a mountain city built on this hill.
The Red Kapok Legion and the Bronze Fist Legion, which followed the Southern Barbarian rout last night, had blocked the only land route in Weishan City.
Just by listening to the name, you know where they come from, one is Yueyang County, which is rich in kapok trees, and the other is Lingbei County, which is famous for its high-quality copper mines.
"Great, I'm afraid I'm too late, Weishan City has already been breached. Gurley gritted his teeth.
"Without our first-class legion to attack, how dare their two second-class legions move first. Darigory's words struck a chord of pride among the fighters.
Everyone is gearing up.
Like a sharp knife cut through butter, the Golden Griffin Legion struck between the Red Kapok Legion and the Bronze Fist Legion, quickly interspersed to the front line, and began to arrange the formation in an orderly manner under the command of the trumpet, the drum beat, and the military flag.
The heavily armed pikemen were in the center, they were the main force of the field and the backbone of the military formation, while the guerrillas where Gao Ge was located were in front of the formation in a skirmish line, they were the minions and swords of the military formation.
Guerrillas can attack and defend, can attack the city, can also harass the enemy, can also pursue, if it is necessary to enter the stage of hard confrontation with a strong enemy in the field, they will retreat to protect the two wings of the military formation, showing the indestructible forest spear in the middle.
The vanguard of the large array was two hundred steps away from the city wall, which was already a distance that the Nanban's single bamboo bow could not attack.
Looking at Weishan City from the place where Gao Ge was standing, I saw that the entire hill was occupied by dense stone buildings, layer upon layer, and the city was full of the naked figures of the Southern Barbarians shaking, and it was conceivable that the attackers would be hit by three-dimensional blows.
The city wall is three feet high, and it is also made of huge stones, but it is so smooth that it can't even insert a knife into it, to achieve this extent, I don't know how much effort it took to build the city, but now, it has become a moat to block the old owner.
With a heavy drum, the entire battlefield suddenly fell silent, and the formation was completed.
The drums on the battlefield stopped, but the small drum beat in the heart of the first brother of the battlefield, and the wonderful feeling of excitement and fear, full of strength and weakness of his legs filled his body, and his skin was as crisp and numb as if he had passed a microcurrent.
Suddenly, a thought broke into Gao Ge's mind: if he dies on the battlefield, he may travel back to the original world!
The thought was uncontrollable as soon as it came to mind, and at the same time, it unexpectedly calmed Gao Ge.
At this moment, a tall figure appeared at the head of the city, and before Gao Ge could see it clearly, he had already jumped forward, and jumped directly from the top of the city ten meters high.
"Tom!" the man landed steadily, not moving.
A strange howl of ghosts and wolves sounded at the head of the city, and countless southern barbarian soldiers waved the strange weapons in their hands like stimulants.
The Southern Barbarian was clearly a warrior of the clan, and like the other barbarians, he was dressed in a vicious manner, about the height of Darigori, with a swarthy body with knotted muscles, a leather skirt around his waist, and a body covered in tattoos and strange patterns drawn by unknown paints.
His black hair and mud were tied up at the back of his head, a large handful of boar manes like steel needles, and a long boar tusk was worn across his nose, and his face was covered with tattoos and scars cut to decorate it.
His weapon is also bizarre, a huge wooden stick with various unknown animal canine teeth nailed to it, and covered in dried blood.
"I am the totem warrior of the Fierce Pig Tribe, Fang, the mace in my hand has smashed the brains of two hundred and eighteen Central Plains pigs, who dares to come up and be the one hundred and nineteenth!" The barbarian named Fangs brandished his giant stick and roared loudly, like a bell.
, there is still a style full of ancient style in this world?
