Chapter 45: The Decisive Battle (Part II)
Most of the minotaurs were pushed down before they could reach the wall, but there were still a dozen or so who moved quickly and finally made it up to the wall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The minotaur standing on the wall is not so easy to stand up, usually a minotaur will be greeted by a dozen hunter soldiers, but even if a dozen people work together, they are no match for the minotaur.
They clinged to their shields and squeezed the minotaurs as they squeezed, but they couldn't stop retreating. The archers on the side could no longer care about suppressing the enemy under the wall, and vigorously beckoned the arrows to the minotaurs. However, the Minotaur is really worthy of being born warriors, they are infinitely powerful, their skin is rough and their flesh is thick, if they tighten their muscles, even if they use all their strength to pierce directly with a stone spear, they can only pierce half the tip of the spear, not to mention the bow and arrow, many of which can only be regarded as hanging on it.
Such a minotaur may be able to damage it with better and more advanced weapons, but in this era it is really a flesh tank. These minotaurs also rarely carry weapons, and often pull up a tree and use it as a stick when fighting. However, at this time, the dozen or so minotaurs who attacked the city wall could only have their hands empty, but even if they were unarmed and were blocked by the Ba hunters with their shields, these minotaurs still braved the rain of arrows and tried to rush towards the Ba gate.
They directly picked up their fists, and even if the hunter team blocked them with shields, they were often beaten to the ground and their bones were torn apart, and if they were directly slammed on their bodies, they would be beaten out of the air. The Jiuxi archers under the wall also tried to cover the minotaur on the wall at this time, they didn't care about aiming, they just shot their arrows upwards as fast as possible, even if it hit the minotaur, it didn't matter, the bow and arrow were very weak to the minotaur. The soldiers on the wall were shot down from time to time, and it was difficult for the hunters, who were caught between the Minotaurs and the Nine Creek Archers, to maintain the greatest resistance.
The location of the gate of the Ba tribe now has a small urn city, which comes from the experience of Zheng Jun's later generations, at first it was only a simple fence with a wooden fence, but after the start of the war, it lasted for several days and was a stalemate, and this urn city was gradually strengthened by this time, and now it is similar in height and thickness to the city wall. Such an urn can make an opponent attack from the gate suffer a big loss, but it is easier to attack from the walls on both sides.
Luo was guarding the position of this urn city at this time, and the nearest minotaur climbed the wall only a dozen meters away from him.
Urn City is the place with the strongest garrison strength, and as soon as this minotaur came up, he was poked by dozens of hunters with shields and stone spears, although each blow was not seriously injured, but the accumulation still made him weaker and weaker. The minotaur kept waving his fists, knocking down more than a dozen shield players one after another, but in the end, his body was full of arrows, and he was stabbed with blood holes everywhere, and finally his strength became weaker and weaker, and he was overturned to the ground by the shield hand in front of him.
Not far behind the minotaur was an arrow emplacement, and the two archers on it each shot at him with at least twenty arrows, and at the end of the shot he had to wonder if he was holding a toy. As the minotaur fell to the ground, the two soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, no matter how rough the skin and thick flesh were, they could still kill it. But they were too early to be happy, and before they could fully relax their breath, they only felt that the world was spinning.
The emcourse is made of wood and has four brackets that are placed directly on the wall, leaving a 2-meter gap at the bottom for people to pass through, and it is only 4 meters high. At this time, the whole embarrassment burst open from the middle, and the two archers and half of the embarrassment fell down the wall, directly into the moat, and only a few bubbles bubbled, and there was no movement again.
Another minotaur rushed out of the wreckage of the empellar's blast, and it was he who smashed the entire emcourse in half, and the collapse of the emcourse only slowed him down slightly. At this time, he held two large wooden sticks in each hand, and if he looked closely, he could see that they were two of the four brackets of the Arrow Tower.
This minotaur has a weapon in his hand, and the lethality is even more amazing, he used the impact to rampage, while swinging the wooden stick, dozens of Ba soldiers flew away one after another, almost clearing a small section of the city wall. However, the shield-bearers of the Hunters followed one after the other, and the ones in the back were tightly pressed against the ones in front, one by one, and finally they still put the minotaur on the edge of the urn city.
Without the impact, relying on strength alone, the minotaur may be able to suppress a dozen soldiers, but dozens of people are on the same page, but he can't bear it. But at this time, other minotaurs gradually attacked from both sides, but although the Ba soldiers on the urn city were pressed back gradually, with the support of the shield players of the hunter team, the front row was swept away, and the back row was on top, relying on flesh and blood to consume the opponent's strength and impact, and finally stabilized their position.
The more than a dozen minotaurs who came up around were dead on the edge of the urn city and could not come forward, and the Ba soldiers elsewhere behind them gradually came up, under the front and back attacks, no matter how rough the skin and thick meat were, there was a limit, they stood still, and in the end almost all of them were killed, only two jumped off the wall, swam across the moat and retreated.
As the Minotaur's attack failed, Jiuxi's army gradually retreated, and the Ba people finally withstood another wave.
Although the attack of Jiuxi was repulsed, Luo did not feel happy at all, and the Ba tribe suffered more than 200 casualties and nearly 300 people in this battle, plus those who were injured by the cover shooting of the Jiuxi tribe, almost 400 people were reduced, and most of the injured people were serious, even if they could recover, it would take a long time, and the overall combat strength was lost by more than one layer. In the end, 15 minotaurs were counted and killed, and more than 100 people of the Jiuxi tribe were killed and wounded. In this way, even if the current exchange ratio is maintained in the future, when all the Ba people are killed in battle, it will only kill the Minotaur, and there will be several thousand left in the Jiuxi tribe. In this way, Luo couldn't be happy.
In terms of social productivity, this siege is almost the top battle in the world, but by the standards of later generations, it is only the level of two village chiefs fighting. The battlefield is so big that both sides can monitor the entire battlefield, and each other's losses can be roughly estimated. Khan and Li Ju also probably counted the losses of both sides at this time, Khan was quite satisfied, he secretly thought to himself, if the fight continues, when the Ba tribe is all gone, the losses of the Jiuxi tribe will not be too large, after all, some of the people who were injured by arrows can still recover.
But this is also to think about it, no matter how much Li Ju repays his kindness, it is impossible to help him fight all his tribal warriors. Khan was indeed right, Li Ju was really heartbroken at this time. In fact, in the tradition of the Liju tribe, there is nothing to be afraid of dying in battle, and it is an honor to die in a fierce battle. But Li Ju was not mentally prepared to lose so many soldiers before, he thought that as long as a dozen clansmen could climb the other party's city wall, he could easily take the gate, as long as the gate was opened, everyone swarmed up, and the battle would end immediately.
But I didn't expect the fighting spirit of the Ba people to be so strong, and they relied on flesh and blood to push the minotaur back, and were sandwiched from both sides, and the minotaur who was squeezed in the middle was completely ground to death.
Now Li Ju is reluctant to come again. He discussed it with Khan, and finally decided to switch tactics that both sides found acceptable.
