Chapter Eighty-Six: Night Attack
"Ahhh~"
Just as all the warbands were waiting for the fire to be extinguished, the howl of wolves came from the raging fire through it. One by one, huge giant wolves jumped out of the flames, ignoring the burns on their bodies, and rushed towards the battle group.
The speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, the shield soldiers in the front row could already see the other party's open bloody mouth.
"Raise your shield!"
"Hah!" the shield soldier in the front row placed the huge shield at his side in front of him and plunged it into the ground, everyone's blood soared, and their lunges were spread, and they leaned sideways against the shield.
"Pick up a gun!"
The spearmen in the rear took out a spear from behind him, and the three of them were spliced together in three sections, and the six-meter-long spear was completed.
"Rack a gun!"
The spears were either inserted into the holes in the shield or placed in the grooves in the top, and then the spearman turned the barrel in his hand, making a clicking sound, and the shaft of the protruding shield ejected the iron, holding the spear in place so that it could slide backwards.
"Hold it on!" the vice-captain was a short-haired blond man, and before he could give any other orders, the giant wolf rushed to him.
The sound of "poof~" came, it was the sound of a spear entering the flesh.
"Boom~" The giant wolf hit the shield, causing a huge impact, making half of the shield soldier's body a little numb.
"Reserves on top of me, hold on to the shield wall! Spearmen on me, don't let the giant wolf jump over the shield wall!"
"Yes!"
Then the blond-haired man shouted: "Archers prepare, shoot a hundred meters ahead!"
"Buzz~" Thousands of arrows were fired in unison, making the sound of a swarm.
Then there was a "boom" sound and a giant wolf wail of "whoa~" in the distance.
Although the giant wolf continued to howl, the blonde man's face became heavier and heavier.
Behind the shield wall in front, there were constantly reservists stepping forward to replace the shield soldiers who had been shaken and vomiting blood, some of the shields had begun to shake a little, and the wolf's head could already be seen in some places above the shield wall.
There was a look of madness in his scarlet pupils, and one paw was pulling at the wolf corpse hanging from the spear, trying to crawl over.
Seeing this scene, the deputy captain shouted in a suppressed voice: "Withdraw the gun!"
The spearman's blood filled his body, stabbing the spear out a little, "Click!", the iron of the gun shaft was withdrawn, and the spearman hurriedly retracted the spear, and at the moment of withdrawing from the shield, the shield reserve member was full of blood and gas, and he rushed into the shield with all his strength.
The massive impact catapulted the wolf corpse that landed in front of the shield wall into the distance, and the spear mounted the shield again. Catch up on the newly rushed wolves.
Time passed minute by minute, the wolf corpses outside the shield wall continued to increase, the madness of the other party made the vice captain's expression more and more solemn, the vice captain of the other team had come to him, unlike the blonde vice team, he was wearing a helmet and fully armed, and the team members behind him were ready to replace everyone here at any time.
"Wait ten more breaths. The blonde man said.
The other nodded, counting the time.
Ten breaths later, the two deputy teams shouted "Change!" at the same time.
In an instant, the players of the two teams completed the exchange of defensive lines, and they were at ease.
Just when they breathed a sigh of relief. "Ah~" screams came, and suddenly a shield was blown away, along with more than a dozen people behind the shield, seeing their companions flying over, the spearmen hurriedly put away their spears and raised their hands to respond.
At the gap in the shield wall, a giant wolf with a single horn on its head fell suddenly, the opponent's single horn had been broken, blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth, and the ups and downs of his chest gradually decreased, obviously not long to live, but the other party was still trying to bite the shield soldier on the side.
"Smack", the other party's head was trampled through by a sharp claw, blood splattered on the soldier's face, they looked at each other's dripping mouths at close range, two rows of sharp teeth flashed with a different kind of dazzling, as the giant wolf advanced, the surrounding soldiers moved to the rear in fear, and for a while the spearmen in the rear were stuck and could not shoot.
Seeing this, the blonde deputy hurriedly stepped forward with a gun, swept away, and rushed in half of his body, and the giant wolf with a hideous face was pulled back. The strength was so great that the sound of the opponent's bones cracking was directly heard, and the figure of the giant wolf disappeared, leaving a trail of blood.
"All the players quickly retreated to the second defence. The blonde lieutenant shouted calmly.
The heavily armed deputy team said in a deep voice: "The spearmen are ready to kill with me, and the archers retreat! The shield soldiers raised their shields and blew up these brutes for Lao Tzu!"
"Heha!" the giant shield was raised, and the spearmen followed the vice-captain and fearlessly rushed out, killing the wolves. The first head-on fight between the soldiers and the wolves began.
"Hah!" Ruan Han was filled with blood and qi all over his body, and he jumped from top to bottom and inserted the spear into the giant wolf's eyes, his hands spun, and the spear pierced directly through its brain.
Feeling the danger on his side, he ignored the spear in the wolf's eye and rolled towards the wolf corpse, a huge mouth brushed his back dangerously and dangerously, and he could feel a wave of heat crashing into his back.
Ruan Han, then. Not far away, the voice of his companion was heard, and a spear flew towards him.
Before he could react, he instinctively got up and took the spear and looked in the direction of his companion, but what he saw was a picture of the other party's head in a different place, and the broken body was being bitten and thrown everywhere by three giant wolves.
Ruan Han's pupils widened instantly, and the anger in his heart rose, and he was about to rush towards the three giant wolves over there with his gun.
A deafening roar exploded in his ears, and he turned his head to see that the giant claw was already in front of him, and the lines on the wolf's claws were faintly visible. At this time, he suddenly remembered what the captain said a long time ago: Don't be carried away by hatred and anger on the battlefield, it will cost you your lives!
Ruan Han smiled for some reason, but he was a little bitter, he didn't seem to be able to avenge his companions~ A little regretful.
"Ruan Han!" The deputy captain looked at the man who was shot in the head not far away, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mood was not very stable, this was already the tenth team member who died tragically at the hands of the wolves.
And that's less than five breaths in the past.
Knocking down two giant wolves with one sword, the deputy captain shouted behind him, "It's not okay yet!"
"Right now!" said the shield soldier, his face flushed with some difficulty, and the large shield on his head had become a little red.
"Vice!" called the shieldman.
"Everyone, stand back!" the heavily armed lieutenant hurriedly shouted, and all the spearmen repelled the giant wolf in front of them and retreated.
At the same time, huge shields glowing red all over their heads skimmed.
"Throw a gun!"
The spear was thrown, and seeing the flying spear, the giant wolf that wanted to pursue, hesitated, took a few steps back, and the spear was inserted into the ground, forming a barrier.
At this time, the giant shield approached the wolves and became very dazzling.
"Boom~" The shield exploded, and a huge heat wave swept the entire battlefield, flying away the shield soldiers who had not had time to escape in the distance.
The battlefield fell into a brief silence.
"Phew~" A shield soldier struggled to get up, untied the heavy armor on his body, and lay down, panting.
"Get up, put on your armor!" a familiar voice sounded in his ear, a little stern, it was their lieutenant.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly shouted, "Yes!"
"Ahhh~" On the other side of the giant pit, giant wolves with mutilated bodies and blood all over their bodies watched them from afar, with a little fear in their eyes.
"Buzz~" A rain of arrows came from the second line of defense.
A gust of wind struck arrows from the direction of the forest, and a huge wolf howl was heard.
The wolves faced the crowd and slowly retreated.
"Woo~" The horn sounded in the army. Fifteen war regiments began to withdraw fifty miles after pulling out the camp.
"Captain!" shouted the soldiers on the front line who had just experienced the battle when they saw the man in red light armor coming over.
The middle-aged man took off his helmet, and a scar covering half of his face could be faintly seen, he looked around, and said in a calm voice: "Pack up your mood! Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, bring the corpses of your companions who can be recovered, and we will bury them after the war is over." ”
He patted the vice captain who was sitting a little lonely: "You did a good job." ”
"Captain, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired. ”
"Well, I know. Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, the large forces are starting to retreat, we are running out of time. There was a slight sadness in the middle-aged man's eyes.
"Understood, Captain. ”
......
In the tent
A young man in an official uniform was looking at the bamboo slip in his hand, on which a row of characters slowly emerged.
He handed the bamboo slip to the warband leader who was sitting in the main seat.
Quan Li glanced at it and shattered the bamboo slips, and everyone in the camp felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing.
Pi Zizi also looked at Quan Li thoughtfully.
"Okay, let's get ready, although we won an absolute victory in the battle of the Plains before, but now everyone has also seen the power of the opponent's counterattack! If you underestimate the opponent again, you and I will be ashamed of the Heavenly Capital!" Quan Li smiled, walked straight out of the tent, and did not say anything more.
At midnight,
Except for a few patrolling soldiers, the rest of the people returned to their tents, and before long the lights went out, and the whole barracks fell into a deep sleep, except for the faint light of the torches at the intersection of the aisles.
At this moment, beside the wall, the clods of soil in the ground began to loosen, and a small head broke through the ground, looked around, and then cautiously leaned out half of its body.
After waiting for a while, it hesitated, but crawled out of the ground, it was a fat and round gold eater.
The gold-devouring rat had a thief's eyes, ran around, and then returned to the entrance of the cave, and shouted "chirp~" twice below.
A pair of furry giant palms stretched out from the entrance of the cave, and then pulled horizontally, the earth and stone fell, and a deep hole with a diameter of two meters appeared in front of him.
"Meow~"
One by one, the dark Night Shadow Cat jumped on the ground and dispersed towards the entire barracks without making any sound.
Stepping on the roof of the tent, the Night Shadow Cat looked at the torches at the intersection, and the shadows under his feet spread out.
A breeze blew, torches were extinguished, and a pair of blue eyes stared at the alarmed patrol soldiers.
"Who!" the soldiers on patrol looked nervous when they saw the torches that had been extinguished not far away, and they had some bad premonitions.
"Meow~"
"Haha, it's a cat, look at what you're fuss about. The soldier beside him teased.
As if thinking of something, they searched for prestige and saw a pair of strange blue eyes.
The soldier blinked, the blue pupils disappeared, he breathed a sigh of relief, and elbowed his companion: "Scared me to death, I should have hallucinated just now."
No response.
The sound of liquid dripping sounded on the tick. The soldier turned his head a little stiffly and looked at his companion.
The other party's face, the pupils have disappeared, and the strange thing is that the blood is like a thin stream, flowing down the cheek and passing through the throat, and there is a deep scar in the throat, and the vocal cords in it have been destroyed.
The soldier followed the flow of blood and looked to the ground, where the Night Shadow Cat was sitting in a puddle of blood, its tongue licking the cat's paws that followed the drops of blood. A pair of blue eyes looked at him strangely.
"Meow~" The cat's mouth cracked, as if laughing.
"There's... Yes... Cat... Hmm—" The soldier pressed his hands to his throat hard, struggling to scream.
"Smack~" The Night Shadow Cat sat on the soldier's shoulder and licked its sharp paws.
The night was dark and windy, and when the last torch was extinguished, the whole barracks was shrouded in darkness.
