Chapter 86: Ambush on the Ground
In the crowded deck, there was even an unlucky centurion who fended off the crossbow arrows, and the bloody anger in his body erupted, and dozens of herdsmen and barbarians around him were involved, causing even more casualties. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, on the transport ship, the wails of the barbarians resounded through the river, and the Terran garrison soldiers secretly applauded.
The bed crossbow was reloaded, and the second round of crossbow arrows was fired, killing more than a hundred barbarians!
Because they could only be beaten passively and could not fight back, the anger in the barbarian's body surged, and the eyes were blood-red, but there was nothing to be done.
The third round of crossbow arrows began to be loaded on the shore, but by this time the two transports had already sailed within two hundred paces of the riverbank, and all the barbarians who were good at shooting stood on the forward deck, opened their bows and shot at the shore.
Because the barbarians are extremely strong, and they are all hard bows, they can still maintain the lethality of arrows at a distance of two hundred paces, and in this round of counterattacks, the bed crossbowmen will lose a small half, and the garrison soldiers lined up on the shore have to raise their large shields to resist the barbarians' rain of arrows.
"Take back the bed crossbow!"
The garrison officer gave an urgent order, and the generals on the watchtower shook their heads in a straight way.
If you are an experienced general, it is time to withdraw the bed crossbow as early as the second round of crossbow arrows is fired.
But these high-ranking generals can only watch, but they can't make easy moves.
The garrison on the shore held their shields and braved the rain of arrows to retrieve the bed crossbows, and all the archers stood behind the shields, and when the transport ship was a hundred paces away, they immediately drew their longbows and fired at the barbarians on the edge of the ship.
It's just that the strength of ordinary soldiers is not enough, and the arrows they shoot can only cause a little light injury to the barbarians with rough skin and thick flesh at most, and only the bows and arrows with morale attached to the martial arts above Wusheng can really shoot the herdsmen and hurt the barbarians;
The barbarians also used war howls to fight against the reckless army.
In the fierce firefight, soldiers fell on both sides at every turn, and the scene of arrows coming and going like locusts continued until the transport ship ran aground in the shoals and the barbarians finally landed!
Thousands of barbarians stepped on the hard ground and let out crazy laughter; when they looked at the Terran procession dozens of paces away, their eyes were red, and they didn't tidy up the queue, they rushed towards the Terrans with their guns in their hands, and they still roared in the sharp barbarian language in their mouths; none of the thousands of garrison soldiers present could understand the barbarian language, but everyone could understand the meaning, and that was one word: kill!
Without hesitation, the Terran drummer immediately sounded the war drums that had already been cast as "sharp weapons" in front of him, and all the martial artists and above suddenly felt that their morale had skyrocketed by three percent!
The standard-bearer hoisted the military flag and continuously restored the morale of all the officers.
At the same time, the trumpeter blew the horn of the charge, not only Wu Sheng, but all the soldiers' flesh strengthened and increased in size by two percent in the blink of an eye, and their clothes and armor were full.
The garrison officer with the rank of national sergeant drew his sword and pointed it straight to the sky, the star shining in his mind, and a strange power spread rapidly from the blade, and his first-order "Solid Wall Clear Field" plot actually affected all the soldiers under him!
For a while, the armor of thousands of soldiers poured out cold light, and its hardness suddenly increased by two times, and the strength of ordinary herdsmen was no longer able to pierce the armor of the first-order "Solid Wall Clear Field", only the strength of the barbarian soldiers was enough to break the protection of the strong wall Clear Field.
Originally, if it was a head-on battle, the three of them would have to join forces to fight against a barbarian of the same class, but at this moment, with the blessing of various forces, ordinary martial artists can already defeat the strongest herdsmen, and even injure the barbarians, and the largest number of ordinary soldiers also have the strength to fight against the herdsmen!
This series of increases gave confidence to all Terran soldiers, and the well-trained soldiers were closely aligned and fearless.
"Hold your ground! Don't let the barbarians step into the land of Jiangnan!"
"Defend our homeland!"
"Don't be afraid! There is no need to retreat! There are countless villagers and elders watching us behind us!"
Various mid-level officers cheered on all the soldiers.
The first batch of barbarians each let out a battle howl, and the sound waves roared and rushed towards the Terran array, while more generals used their fierce forces to send out powerful arrows, instantly neutralizing the attack of the war howls, and even a few giant light arrows pierced the sound waves, causing a lot of damage to the barbarians in the front.
The Barbarian charge was fast, closing in on the Terran array in the blink of an eye after the first round of encounters.
At this moment, hundreds of barbarians who were charging forward wailed, and fell into the countless horse traps on the river beach, and a large number of thistles buried in the sand pierced the horseshoe, hindering the footsteps of a large number of barbarians; the distance between the two sides was only a dozen paces, and the Terran archers shot one after another, and a large group of injured barbarians were killed instantly.
The barbarians in the rear were rushed to their heads with anger, and they all had red eyes, and directly stepped on the corpses of their companions and rushed towards the Terrans, wanting to use their physical advantages to break up the Terran array.
Once the array is broken, the morale of the human race will inevitably plummet, which is an iron rule that the barbarians have summed up from thousands of years of warfare.
But the Terrans on the banks of the river did not give them a chance.
Everyone drew their swords and spears together, and the gentlemen poured their morale into the weapons in their hands, and a few gentlemen opened the tricks they had learned, and with the interception of the shield soldiers, they were fearless to face the barbarians, and started hand-to-hand combat!
The two groups of centaurs collided together, and the Terrans kept piercing the heart of one barbarian with their spears, only to be beheaded by the other barbarian in an instant...... A small battlefield was filled with the screams and wails of the soldiers of the two races, as well as the crisp clashing of soldiers; from time to time someone fell, life dissipated forever between the heavens and the earth, each Terran soldier was killed by a different weapon, but the absolute one thing was the same: everyone fulfilled their duty and belief to defend their homeland, and every soldier smiled at Jiuquan.
Just when the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, behind the Terran array, a group of soldiers who had not made a move disappeared from the field of vision of the barbarians in an instant!
The barbarians were shocked in their hearts, and some old barbarians who were accustomed to fighting subconsciously looked behind them, and at this look, several barbarians immediately softened, and then were hacked to death by the Terran soldiers in front of them.
A part of the Terran soldiers who had disappeared appeared in the rear of the barbarian brigade before they knew it!
Among them, there was an adjutant with the rank of national sergeant, and it was he who spread the conspiracy of "secretly crossing Chen Cang" to this squad, deceived the eyes of the barbarians, and quietly sneaked behind the barbarians!
In the Bingfeng Continent, each other family has its own abilities, and the unique ability of the soldier is tailor-made for war: as long as you study the philosophy of the soldier, you can learn the ability of "commanding a thousand armies", and spread the strategy to the whole army under your command, although the effect of the strategy will be weakened, but it is still enough to deter the barbarians!
Out of fear in their hearts, the barbarians called this unique soldier's ability "Flat Ambush"!
Under the attack from both sides, the barbarians were crushed at the first touch.
With the help of geographical advantages and excellent tactics, the Terrans easily won the defensive battle.
Although the number of Terran soldiers was several times that of the barbarians, and although all of them fought bravely with the determination to die, it still cost a lot to annihilate thousands of barbarians: a full four hundred soldiers died under the butcher's knives of the barbarians to ensure that the homeland behind them would not be trampled by the iron hooves of the barbarians.
Seeing the tragic death of their comrades-in-arms, the soldiers did not have any time for silent mourning and sadness, and immediately began to clean up the battlefield, reset the traps, and then returned to the camp to cook on the spot and restore morale.
Tomorrow will be another day of war.
Tomorrow, who will say goodbye to their families?
On the sentry tower, Qiu Yuan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and silently mourned for the fallen soldiers.
The faces of the generals behind him were dark, their faces distorted by pent-up anger, their clenched fists bloodless, and their knuckles gurgling.
One of the generals gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, it's just a thousand barbarians, and the highest is only a thousand commanders, if I make a move, ......"
"As soon as you, the champion, make a move, there will be a barbarian commander to cross the river tomorrow, and then another one can't help it, the heroes, the flying generals and even the old Yuanrong are forced to make a move, and then a race war breaks out, isn't it just in the hands of the barbarians?" said a person next to him with a blank eye.
The former was immediately speechless.
Although the barbarians began to attack Jiangnan incessantly half a month ago, the strongest barbarians at the beginning were just barbarians, only equivalent to the generals of the human race; it was precisely because a certain position on the south bank could not withstand the attack of the barbarians, and invested more than pedestrians in combat power, and the barbarians who attacked and harassed each position the next day had a few more ten-captains; and when the human race once again invested in the high combat power of the samurai and the national soldiers, the next day, the barbarian centurion and the thousand-commander also followed.
It is precisely because of the discovery of the law of this tentative attack of the barbarians that the Terrans promptly curbed the investment of high-level combat power, only maintained the battle below the national soldiers, and transferred many low-level combat forces and city defense equipment from the rear to fight against small barbarians with the advantage of troops and positions.
The barbarians' intentions are unpredictable, and this expedient can only be delayed for the time being, and the human race is like a mouse played by a cat, extremely passive in the face of the barbarians' small attacks.
"Damn, damn!" the general kept stamping his feet, "The soldiers under him are fighting to the death, but we can only watch from the wall, it's too wretched!"
"Bear with me, if we can drag it to the National Court to solve the problem of Dragon City, then the barbarians' southern invasion plan will naturally be self-defeating, and the sacrifices of the soldiers will be worthwhile. An old champion sighed.
Everyone was depressed, and no one knew that he had mixed feelings in his heart at this time.
"How can it be so simple to solve the problem of Dragon City...... There is no wind and no waves, and the barbarians have a premonition that Dragon City is about to break away from the control of the human race, and they will no longer be afraid at that time, so they have made a plan to invade the south; if it really comes to that time, I am afraid that the second race war will break out, and the human race will definitely face the crisis of genocide......

(PS: Last night I saw a military novel I wrote before: "There are many strife in the world, and the people suffer a lot.") There are frequent wars in various parts of Lizhou, and if there is a strong city to protect it, it will be fine. Unexpectedly, the army and the people did not get along, and many officers and soldiers bullied and oppressed the people, and they suffered unspeakably. It is said that there is a dirt village, hidden in the mountains, isolated from the world, and the guests who escape the world live in seclusion here, and every family has contacts, and the neighbors are also happy. This village is called Changle ......", the writing and plot are immature, the protagonist's family was killed, and he went to join the army for revenge...... I suddenly felt that the childish age was so good, and I was embarrassed...... )
