Chapter 44: The Decisive Battle (Part II)

The Minotaurs rested for three days, and the people sent to the Wushan tribe still did not send back the news, for safety, Khan sent scouts to the west to ensure that the Wushan tribe could find out at the first time if they sent reinforcements. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Now, it's time to attack.

In the early morning of the ninth day of the siege, the sky was so overcast that dark clouds covered almost the entire sky, and there was not a ray of sunlight to be seen. It looks like it won't be long before it rains.

Luo's mood was as gloomy as the weather now, and he stood on an earthen wall more than five meters high, surrounded by strong and determined warriors. The wall and the soldiers had always given him confidence, but now the earthen walls were no longer reliable, and the soldiers were shaking their heads to each other.

In front of them, directly facing the gate, more than 5,000 Jiuxi Clan warriors were lined up in a neat row, which did not make Luo feel afraid. But the more than a hundred minotaurs standing in front of the army could not help but let him waver.

"Hundreds of giants!"

He couldn't help but wonder if he could defeat the other party.

"Don't think about it, hold on until the last moment, we have home behind us, and there is nowhere to retreat. Today is the ninth day of the siege, and the reinforcements of the Wushan clan are almost here. ”

Luo turned his head, Zheng Jun was already standing beside him at some point, it was he who said what he said before. Luo looked at Zheng Jun's eyes, which didn't blink at all, making people only feel that these eyes were terrifyingly bright, almost like sunshine with substance, igniting his soul.

"Behind us is home"

Luo lowered his head and muttered to himself, then looked up at his homeland, the gloom and wavering in his eyes gradually subsided, and firmness reappeared on him.

Zheng Jun looked at the recovered Luo and turned to leave, not letting Luo see his expression. His eyes darkened, but he revealed worry. In the past, a minotaur killed and injured more than 30 people, and now there are more than 100 people, and it is not enough to fill them all. But now it's useless to worry, only to desperately persevere to the end. As long as you hold on until the reinforcements of the Wushan clan arrive, there is still hope.

The Jiuxi army outside the wall began to move, and the minotaurs in the front row let out a battle cry against the wall of the Ba tribe, and then they grabbed a huge wooden plank in front of them, and gradually walked towards the city wall, and the soldiers of Jiuxi also followed behind with their shields held high.

Sporadic arrows began to shoot from the walls of the Ba tribe, and these were soldiers with poor psychological quality. The approaching minotaurs were completely obscured by the huge planks, and the arrows were completely useless.

Lowe turned his head and ordered.

"Let's go up to the wall, behind us is our home, fight to the last man. ”

The soldier behind Luo was stunned for a moment, but his eyes showed fanaticism. He ran down the wall, where there were four hundred hunters, from all tribes, but mainly the Ba and those who had fled, and most of the tribes that were not threatened had sent only the average young man.

Each of these four hundred people is an experienced hunter, and most of the family members are here, and they are also the most determined, now equipped with shields and stone spears, and they are the best soldiers in Luo's hands now, and they are called the hunters. Originally, they were used to deal exclusively with the Minotaurs, but their opponents have now grown from twenty to nearly one hundred and fifty. I don't know how many of these hunters will survive in the end.

Now they were sitting and standing, but they were all staring at the soldier who was running over, and they saw that his cheeks were red, and he roared out loudly.

"Go to the wall! Behind us is home! We're going to fight to the last man!"

The four hundred soldiers, all of whom raised their shields in their hands, were so excited that they kept striking with the stone spears in their hands. I don't know who yelled.

"Behind us is home, and we will never back down!"

This simple phrase, which once inspired thousands of Soviet Red Army, detonated everyone's emotions at once.

"Never back down!"

They roared and rushed up the wall, standing there firmly, like a part of the wall.

The shooting of bows and arrows on the wall became more and more dense, and the opponent had slowly advanced to a distance of less than five meters outside the wall, but the Jiuxi archers did not return fire, and the entire army hid behind the shield, and the battlefield was full of the sound of arrows shooting on the shield, and only occasionally arrows could penetrate through the gaps in the shield, bringing one or two muffled snorts.

The minotaur at the front has entered the moat, they are in pairs, one puts down the plank in front of him as a bridge, and the other crosses the plank to provide cover, their movements are very coordinated, dozens of small bridges were built in an instant, the minotaur without cover did not step forward directly, but retracted behind the other person, and the other person put the plank up again to cover himself and the minotaur behind him again.

Because the walls of the Ba tribe are basically circular, it is difficult to shoot them from the side at this time. A few arrows, even if they were shot, had little effect.

The minotaur didn't attack for a while, and he didn't know what he was waiting for, but the answer was quickly revealed, and after only a few seconds, the shield in front of the Jiuxi army was suddenly lowered, revealing the shooter below, and a volley immediately shot towards the wall.

If it works well together, this volley is best when the Minotaur builds a bridge to attract the attention of the Ba people. But at this time, after all, there was no radio, and it was very difficult to coordinate the battlefield, and now because of the time gap, the loss on the wall was not too great, but it was just pressed behind the wall battlement, and immediately responded with a rain of arrows. After all, the soldiers of the Jiuxi clan are not very professional, the shooter and the shield hand cannot cooperate closely, and there are many more people who are shot than before, and the more people around them are shot, the more panicked they will cooperate, and the losses will gradually increase.

However, they still insisted on shooting at the wall, desperately attracting the attention of the Ba shooters.

The moat is not too wide, with the size of the minotaur, it is a few steps of effort, to the corner of the wall, the minotaur holding the plank squatted down, raised his hands, and made a simple step directly with the plank, the latter person immediately stepped forward, stepped on the steps and reached the wall directly!

This tactic probably hasn't been practiced too many times, and almost a dozen pairs have failed to cooperate well, and they just fell down, but there are still dozens of minotaurs who are about to go to the wall.

Although he was stunned by Jiuxi's new tactics, the soldiers of the hunter team were composed of the most effective hunters after all, and they were demoralized by Luo's slogan, and they would not flinch at all, and they stepped forward with a shield and a gun.

At this time, although the minotaur was already higher than the city wall, after all, he had no weapons in his hands, and his feet were not stable, so he was indeed the most vulnerable, but if he hesitated a little, he might miss it and let them climb the city wall.

But most of the members of the hunter team did not miss it after all, they stepped forward with guns, although because of the thick skin and flesh of the other party, they did not give the other party major damage, but at least they could go down to the other side, and with the weight of the minotaur, most of the wooden planks used as bridges could be broken if they fell, and the minotaurs who fell into the moat could not become a threat for a while.
