Chapter 393: Defeat of the mountain barbarians
"The movements of the mountain barbarian army are all expected by us, didn't Tiger Ross send a messenger to report a few days ago that there have been many spying mountain spies in the black forest area between the rock castle and the fortress of Woniugang? Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Don't look at the mountains and barbarians gathering 100,000 people, to be honest, I really don't take them seriously, playing against them is like bullying a child, and it won't be a martial arts!" Lorist sighed to Telman as he washed his face.
"Uh......" Telman scratched his head, feeling that Lorist was really right, in addition to the number and brute courage of the mountain barbarian army that was completely behind the family armed armament, it was indeed too different from the family armed forces in other aspects, and the longwall defensive battle a few days ago was even less than the Warcraft tide back then in Telman's impression that it was even a threat to the family armed forces.
In Telman's opinion, the long wall was too long, and there were only two guards battalions of more than 6,000 people guarding it, and seriously speaking, the garrison force was very weak and insufficient. If the mountain barbarian army was mainly scattered with a thousand-strong brigade and launched an all-area attack on the long wall that was more than 70 miles long, it would not be difficult to capture the long wall. But the brainless Shanban used a large army of 10,000 people to divide into five teams to focus on the five locations of the long wall, and all of them were all fucking concentrated in one area, which was so stupid that he couldn't be more stupid.
The two guards battalions on the defense used chariot steel crossbows to carry longbowmen to quickly rush to the attacked area, as long as 1,000 people easily blocked the attack of nearly 10,000 people under the city wall, and then used steel crossbows and longbows to launch a turkey-like massacre against the mountain barbarian warriors who lacked long-range attack weapons, causing heavy casualties among the tens of thousands of mountain barbarian warriors who attacked the long wall. I remember that Telman and some of the Angry Bear Knights were watching the battle on the wall, and they felt pitiful for the attacking mountain warriors under the wall......
Lorist took Telman to the top of a building in the middle of the long wall, held a telescope and looked at the opposite side carefully for a long time, and asked Telman, "When did the mountain barbarian army divide its troops?"
Telman thought for a moment and replied: "It should be around four or five o'clock in the morning, the soldiers on duty noticed that there was movement on the side of the mountain barbarian army, thinking that they were trying to come to the night attack, so they reported it, and I was awakened and also went up to the city wall, and when the sky was bright and the fog between the mountains and forests dispersed, we found that there seemed to be a lot fewer mountain barbarians camping in the mountains and forests in the distance." I walked along the long wall again, and through my binoculars, I found that there were almost half of the mountain barbarian warriors missing from the camp of the mountain barbarians on the other side, so I was sure that the mountain barbarian army had been divided, so I went to inform the lord. ”
"Alright. Lorist threw the monocular in his hand to the guards beside him: "Let's see at night, if the mountain barbarian army really divides its troops, there won't be so many bonfires at night." We'll wait another day, and if we find that there are fewer campfires in the evening, we can be sure that the mountain barbarian army is really divided. Telman, tomorrow morning, we will lead the Angry Bear Knights to make a detour through the Turtle Mountain Fortress to attack, and go around the Lancang River to the back of these mountain barbarians in front to launch a surprise attack, and the battle here will be over. ”
When night fell, and the barbarian troops who stayed in front of the long wall did not know how to disguise themselves, and lit less than a quarter of the bonfires they had before, everyone was sure that the family was about to win. The next day, Lorist led a large group of guards from the Turtle Mountain Fortress, and accompanied the Angry Bear Knights along the banks of the Lancang River to the rear of the mountain barbarian tribe.
The raid on the camp left by the Barbarians in front of the Wall, was lackluster, and none of the Barbarians would have thought that instead of cowering behind the Wall, the Norton forces would go around the camp of the Great Army and launch a surprise attack. The mountain barbarian patriarchs of the Ten Clans of Faith thought that the garrison behind the longwall was already all the armed forces of the Norton family, so they could resist the previous attack of the mountain barbarian warriors with the despicable longwall defense.
Although they don't have a lot of knowledge, the patriarchs of these mountain barbarian tribes know very well that they can no longer rely on the strength of their numbers to attack the long wall defense line in front of them, and the blood of the mountain barbarian warriors cannot flow in vain on the land in front of the long wall. So after interrogating and luring the flatland merchants who were willing to lead the way for the mountain barbarian army, they soon chose another route, which was said to lead to the territory of the Norton family, and the only trouble was to cross the Black Forest for dozens of miles.
Although there were still about 40,000 mountain barbarians left in the camp in front of the long wall, the mountain barbarian army that divided their troops and went to the Black Forest area to seek a breakthrough took almost all the young and brave mountain barbarian warriors. The rest of the camp are basically either the elderly, the weak, women and children, or the lightly wounded rescued by the attack on the long wall a few days ago. To put it mildly, these barbarians didn't even do the defense of the camp, not to mention the fence, not even a single trench. Only a few rows of variegated tents sewn up from various animal skins were set up in the camp for the wounded, and the other mountain warriors camped around the campfire, both men and women, young and old, all over the mountains and forests.
When the five or six thousand of the Angry Bear Knights were wrapped in heavy steel armor, and even the tall and majestic mounts appeared in front of the eyes of the more than 40,000 mountain barbarians, as expected, the mountain barbarian camp collapsed immediately, and no one could stop these steel monsters......
The soldiers of the Guards Battalion, who had been guarding the long wall for a long time, saw the signal and immediately sent troops to attack the Knights of the Angry Bear, and soon captured a large number of mountain barbarians. To Lorist's disappointment, he didn't capture any of the patriarchs of the mountain barbarian tribes, nor did he kill a mountain barbarian sacrifice equivalent to the Great Sword Master. It's not that there are no people in this mountain barbarian camp, but the patriarchs and priests of these mountain barbarian tribes are all very bright-minded guys, and when they saw the angry bear knights rushing towards them, they left behind many mountain barbarians very well and fled early.
After a brief cleaning of the battlefield, Lorist was very unwilling to lead the Angry Bear Knights to attack Liangshan Town again, and once again wrapped dumplings for the thousands of Shanban who were unsuspecting in Liangshan Town. This time Lorist finally saw blood, because it was a street battle, so the knights of the Angry Bear Knights were only responsible for guarding the road and besieging the two mountain towns, Lorist personally led a thousand guards into the town, and soon expelled the mountain barbarian defenders who were cowering in the houses and obediently became prisoners.
Liangshan Town has become the logistics base camp of the mountain barbarian army, but the capture is not rich, mainly some special medicinal materials and some miscellaneous things in the Demon Dragon Mountain Range, and the most is the mountain kudzu root piled up, which should be the emergency food of the mountain barbarian army. The war habit of the mountain barbarian tribe is that each warrior brings his own food for seven days to go into battle, and if there is no food, he is generally collected on the spot, and he can eat wherever he goes, and the tribe does not have to bear the rations and weapons and other materials of the mountain barbarian warriors until it is absolutely necessary. Except for the treatment of wounds, everything depends on plunder, and the inability to rob only means that as a mountain warrior, he is very incompetent......
Therefore, the mountain barbarians who are responsible for defending the two mountain towns are basically some slaves and mountain barbarian warriors who have made mistakes, or young and old mountain barbarian warriors, under the attack of Lorist and others, these thousands of mountain barbarians are basically crushed at the touch of a button, and they have become prisoners of the Norton family without causing any casualties to Lorist and others.
"Collect the troops, take the prisoners and captures, and let's go back to the fortress of Woniugang. Next, we have to rush to Tiger Ross and annihilate the mountain barbarian army along the way. "Lorist gave the order to Telman.
In the middle of the road from Rock Castle to Maple Grove Villa, there is a small lake formed by an underground spring next to the road a little closer to Rock Castle, the lake is not big but a little deep, the lake water is clear and cool, and pedestrians who come and go on this road like to rest their feet next to the lake and drink some lake water to relieve the fatigue of the journey. This is also the area of the Black Forest where Lorist first encountered the mountain barbarian cavalry after returning to the family territory.
After four days, the army of mountain barbarians finally passed through the black forest and appeared beside the small lake. As a steady stream of mountain barbarians swarmed out of the Black Forest, the small lakes were soon encircled in dense circles. This is understandable, after a long four-day trek in the dense forest, all the mountain barbarian warriors were tired and thirsty. The worst part is that this black forest is relatively arid, with no creeks or waterholes. The mountain barbarians who spent four days in the forest looking for water had to dig deep pits to get a little muddy water, or pick some bitter leaves to quench their thirst. Now just out of the Black Forest they found a small lake so clear that all the mountain warriors were ecstatic.
This time, there were more than 30,000 mountain barbarian cavalry in the mountain barbarian army, and they walked in the rear with the patriarchs of various mountain barbarian tribes and several noble priests. Traveling through the Black Forest, all the mountain cavalry had to dismount and lead their mounts until they approached the edge of the Black Forest and were sparsely wooded.
When the patriarchs and priests of the various mountain barbarian tribes walked out of the Black Forest, the mountain barbarian warriors in front of them automatically gave way and escorted these noble mountain barbarians to the side of the small lake smoothly. After taking a sip of the clear lake water, as the commander of the mountain barbarian army this time, the patriarch of the Habi Baba tribe, Daqiang Basen nodded with great satisfaction: "Very good lake water, very thirst-quenching, but this lake is so small, is the lake enough for our warriors and war horses to drink?"
A man dressed as a merchant beside him replied respectfully: "Noble and invincible Daqiang Basen, I have walked this road many times, and I know the situation of this small lake very well. Don't worry about running out of water, there is an underground spring under the lake, and no matter how many people drink it, the groundwater will keep the lake at its original level, and it will replenish as much water as you need. Please don't worry about that, I dare to guarantee ...... with my life."
"Hahaha......" Daqiang Barson laughed: "You are very good, you have led us a good road." Well, what's your name? Forget it, I can't always remember the names of your flatlanders, don't worry, I'll reward you with the gold you led the way. I ask you. Is this the heart of the Norton family's domain?"
"Honorable and powerful Daqiang Basen, thank you very much for your generosity. Your faithful servant Ben Leherz salutes you. Yes, this is the heart of the Norton family's domain, with Rock Castle to the south, Poplar Town and Maple Grove Villa to the north, and seven towns and nearly a hundred villages to the west. With the exception of Rock Castle, the garrison was weak, and the Norton forces were fighting another big bus in Winston and the Southern Province, what your people on the prairie who had come to visit you at the end of last year called their Grand Duke. Therefore, the garrisons of these towns will not be able to stop your strong and brave warriors, who lie in front of you as helplessly as those weak maidens, waiting for you to lead them to conquer them......"
The merchant named Ben Lehertz bowed respectfully, he was seized by the Habi Baba tribe when he entered the mountains to trade last summer, and under the threat of bloody axes and the lure of gold, he chose gold and promised to lead the way for the mountain barbarian army, because he had been in the mountains, so he did not know the situation of the Norton family, let alone that Lorist had already returned to the family territory with the family army.
The merchant's words caused a group of mountain barbarians around him to laugh wildly, and Daqiang Basen couldn't breathe with laughter: "That, that's called Ben, you speak very well, like a helpless girl, hahaha, I love to hear this." But it's already evening, and it's getting dark. Our warriors have been on the road for days. Tonight I will have a good rest by this little lake, eat and drink enough, and take care of my spirits, and tomorrow I will deal with those helpless girls. Hahahaha......"
Daqiang Basen's words caused bursts of cheers from the mountain warriors, and soon piles of bonfires were lit, and the mountain warriors took out the dry food and food they brought with them, put them on the fire, roasted them casually, and began to eat and drink with the cool lake water......
Suddenly, a loud trumpet echoed through the heavens and the earth, and then rumbling war drums were heard in all directions. All the mountain barbarian warriors stood up a little dazed, and in the twilight, a black banner embroidered with a golden tiger with two wings was fiercely imprinted into the eyes of all the mountain barbarian warriors.
The merchant jumped in shock: "Impossible, why did the Flying Tiger Legion appear here, it's not good, we are ambushed, run away......"
"Escape?" Da Qiang Barson grabbed his clothes: "You led us into ambush, you deserve to die!"
A sword stabbed the merchant to the ground, and Daqiang Barsen roared angrily: "What are you panicking, everyone assemble to meet the enemy! Don't forget, we have an army of 70,000!"
It's just that the Flying Tiger Legion didn't give the mountain barbarian army much time to prepare, the chariot steel crossbow corps took the lead in attacking, arrows rained down, and the mountain barbarian army turned on their backs, and they fell to the ground in rows. The mountain barbarian army did have 70,000 people, but they couldn't get close to the people, and no matter how many people they were, they were also targets. The mountain barbarian warriors began to retreat involuntarily, but the chariot steel crossbow corps was in hot pursuit, under the command of the corps commander Dores, the chariot steel crossbow advanced two steps and shot two arrows, and has maintained the overall suppression of the mountain barbarian army, when three or four thousand mountain barbarian cavalry risked their lives to attack the chariot steel crossbow line but were shot into an arrow target in public, the mountain barbarian army was defeated like a mountain, and all the mountain barbarian warriors ran backwards, and everyone wanted to get as far away from the crossbow arrow storm as possible......
It was only when the Black Forest in front of them appeared in front of them that the mountain barbarian warriors discovered that there were three long rows of steel monsters in front of the Black Forest, covered in steel armor, and even their mounts were covered in armor. Telman shouted: "Knights of the Angry Bear, attack!"
The horn sounded, and Dorus ordered the chariot's steel crossbow to stop firing and remain on alert. At this time, Tiger Ross on the left and Pachko on the right, each with five or six thousand steel armor spears, rode like two sharp knives straight into the left and right ribs of the chaotic mountain barbarian army......
Lorist drew his sword and pointed at the most ornately dressed group of the mountain barbarian army, with the most beautiful headdresses and feathers on their heads, the chiefs and priests of the mountain barbarian tribe and shouted, "Our goal is there, kill!"
On May 4, 1779, the Norton family defeated more than 100,000 mountain barbarian armies in the family territory, capturing countless people.
