047, the elite of the Fire Clan

Shui Feng said: "Reasonable!

Along the water also nodded. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shui Feng said: "Let the people outside the city enter the city, rest for the night, and set off tomorrow morning!"

Along the water asked, "Which way are we going?"

Shui Feng said, "Let's go east!"

Along the water asked, "Why?"

Shui Feng said: "According to you, when you came, you didn't pass through the Flame Pass, and you arrived at the Refusal Pass?"

He said, "Yes, we came from the east side of the road to the sea." ”

Shui Feng nodded: "That's right." I've heard that the Fire Clan's mountains are east and west, with a north-south trend, which is the East Mountain and the West Mountain. There is a long and narrow plain to the east of Dongshan, and beyond this plain is the sea, you should go ashore on the east side of Dongshan, and then go all the way to the north, do you feel the same way that the terrain is higher and higher?"

"Yes, it was a plain area at first, and the higher and higher you go, it seems that you have gone up to the plateau, and there is a path on the plateau, which should turn west, then north, and then you will reach the rejection pass." ”

Shui Feng said: "I heard that the economically developed area of the Fire Clan is in the east, and the east of Dongshan is the land of fish and rice, which is densely populated and is a rich place. ”

"But I heard that the base camp of the Fire Clan is in the west, west of the West Mountain. ”

Shui Feng said: "That's what I also heard, the old nest of the Fire Clan is in the west. But our first task is to obtain the material, save it, and then think about the next step. ”

Shui Linbo said: "In that case, if we attack the east first, the base camp in the west of the Fire Clan will be prepared, and we will not be a surprise soldier." ”

Shui Feng said: "Of course the strange soldiers are important, but you have to think that if the Fire Clan puts the main force in the western lair, the eastern granary will inevitably be empty in defense, and then we will take it in one fell swoop." If the Fire Clan puts the main force in the eastern granary, it just reflects that our surprise soldiers descended from the sky and directly found the main force of the Fire Clan to fight. Therefore, regardless of whether the main force of the Fire Clan is guarding the granary in the east or not, it is beneficial to us, and we still maintain the advantage of surprise soldiers. ”

Along the water, he said, "I see." Let's go east and grab the food first!"

The entire house in the Flame Pass is empty, except for the large pieces of furniture that can't be taken away, and the rest that can be moved away seems to have been moved by the Fire Clan, and there is not even a door panel. Not to mention the luggage, not even a sack piece was left.

Haixi found a few abandoned stools, repaired them briefly, put them together into two beds, and spread the marching blanket he carried with him, so that he could sleep comfortably, and he just lay on the makeshift bed with his clothes together and took a nap.

Shui Linbo asked, "How many people did you kill today?"

Haixi closed his eyes and said, "I don't know, it's about the same as you." ”

Shui Linbo said: "You didn't use the red dragon to slash. ”

Haixi still closed his eyes and said, "No need." ”

"Tomorrow will definitely be a vicious battle, and it should be more brutal than today. ”

Haixi said: "Don't think about it so much, Shui Feng is right, this is war." ”

Shui Linbo asked, "You say, if the Fire Clan hits us, will they kill people like this?"

Haixi said: "Of course, don't the four great clans just want to destroy us?"

Shui Linbo wanted to ask something, Haixi turned over and said, "Sleep, don't think so much, you need more physical strength tomorrow." ”

Shui Linbo thought about it, didn't ask anything, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the Shui people divided into two groups and drove east.

Because the people brought along the water had to push the artillery carts, so they walked slowly, so he suggested that Shui Feng divide the people into two groups, the first group of main forces set off first, marching at the fastest speed, and the second group left a small amount of rear force to protect the artillery carts and walk slowly behind.

Shui Feng felt that it made sense, so he left Hejing's detachment to protect the artillery convoy, and he took the rest of the people to move forward at full speed.

Shui Linbo found out the west city gate, everyone has been sticking to the edge of the cliff all the way down, soon down to the bottom, see a river to the east, the right side of the river is the plain, the left is a thousand zhang high cliff.

Shui Feng took everyone across the river and ran all the way east along the riverside avenue.

Hai Xi noticed that the plain on the right was slowly getting higher, but the cliff on the left was getting lower and lower, and he thought that if this continued, soon the left and right sides would be the same height.

Sure enough, when it was almost noon, I saw another city pass, and the left and right sides of this city pass were cliffs several zhang high.

Haixi thought: After passing this city pass, it should be to break through Dongshan and reach the plain.

Shui Linbo saw the two big characters "Dongguan" written on the city pass from a distance, and also knew that this was the defensive pass of Dongshan.

Because there were cavalry under Hechong, the cavalry rushed to the front, but when it was still two miles away from Dongguan, suddenly a cannonball came from the city, which exploded directly at the feet of the cavalry, blowing up the two cavalry companies with their horses into the air and breaking into many pieces.

The rest of the cavalry quickly turned their horses and ran back, and then a series of artillery shots were fired from the city, and many cavalry were blown up on their backs.

Shui Feng hurriedly shouted loudly and beckoned the cavalry to run back, because he knew that the range of the Fire Clan's artillery was about three miles, and it was safe to run back this distance.

Everyone knows that this cannon is not the same thing as the last Flame Pass cannon shot.

In fact, after breaking through the Flame Pass last time, the Shui people found that the Fire Clan people in the Flame Pass had less than two shells in total, so they fought less. And this time it was different, this time the Fire Tribes in Dongguan seemed to be fully prepared, so as soon as the Shui people entered the firing range, they fired continuously and continuously.

Shui Feng and the other rivers rushed to collect the cavalry, and when they counted, they sacrificed 16 cavalry and 16 war horses in an instant just now, and their faces were pale with distress.

Tension along the water is also up.

Haixi looked at the water and found that she was very stable, and her heart was a little calmer.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "They're out!"

Shui Feng looked up and saw that the gate of Dongguan was wide open, and a group of cavalry rushed over.

Shui Feng immediately commanded the river chong to change the formation.

Haixi took a closer look, and the original formation of the water tribe had changed to the hoplites holding Changyu in front, his own light infantry in the middle, and the cavalry retreated to both sides of the rear.

Haixi turned his head to look at the water shower, and the water shower nodded and said nothing.

So Haixi also stared forward at the cavalry rushing towards the Fire Clan, and he found that these cavalry were all heavy cavalry, because even the men and horses were wrapped in iron armor, and each cavalry was holding a long jade.

The first cavalryman was planted with a flag high behind him, and a large "fire" was written in the middle of the flame graphic on the banner.

The Aqua soldiers were apparently specially trained to defend against cavalry. I saw that there was a groove in the middle of the armor in front of the hoplite in front of the abdomen, and the back of the spear was just against this groove, and each soldier clenched the spear with both hands, bent down and lunged to the front, just waiting for the Fire Clan cavalry to hit Yu Jian by himself.

Although the cavalry of the Fire Clan can also be held in both hands, it is impossible to face the front from the horse's head, which is too high to pierce the infantry on the ground, but stretches forward and below on the side of the horse's head, so that the spear and the body form an angle, and it cannot exert the maximum strength, and the result is naturally not worthy of the advantages of the spear of the Aquatic Infantry.

The biggest advantage of cavalry is speed, especially heavy cavalry, rushing at high speed, which has great lethality and deterrence, which is terrifying.

But the biggest disadvantage of the cavalry is also speed, and it can't slow down after the speed is fast, so the force that hits the opponent's spear is also very large.

As a result, some of the hoplites of the Water Tribes were killed, but very few, most of them were the hoplites of the Fire Clan, especially the hoplites who rushed in front in the first wave, and they were provoked to turn over on their backs and suffered heavy losses.

The first wave of heavy cavalry of the Fire Clan rushed to the front due to their fast speed, and after being provoked and overturned, an obstacle was formed, and the cavalry that rushed up behind was naturally delayed, and their power was rapidly reduced.

Shui Feng's first feeling was that the Fire Clan people were inexperienced. Because when the cavalry, especially the heavy cavalry, charged, could not line up and rush up continuously, it was necessary to form a wave of echelons to rush forward. The first wave rushes up to no effect, and the second wave has to wait for the rest of the first wave to retreat, at least dodge the front, so that the second wave can charge directly at the target of the charge. Although these Fire Clan cavalry also had waves, the distance between them was very small, and they all seemed to be in a hurry to charge, and there was a feeling of rushing up, so Shui Feng's first feeling was that the Fire Clan people had no experience.

Haixi's feeling is that this group of Fire Clan people is still a deadly fighter.

The cavalryman who rushed to the front and carried the flag, without killing a single opponent, crashed directly into the spear of the water tribe, the horse was stabbed over, and the man was pierced through the most vulnerable neck.

Heavy cavalry has two most vulnerable parts of the upper body: one is the eyes, because they cannot fully cover the protection, the advantageous sharpshooter specializes in shooting the eyes with small arrows, and the other is the neck, although the helmet and cuirass can be staggered to cover it, but the gap will be exposed when moving.

And the Aquarium hoplites are very experienced and well-trained veterans. When the horseman rolled his horse, his body was also deformed, and a gap was exposed below the chin, and he was stabbed into it by the opponent's veteran, directly piercing the neck.

However, at the moment of death, he threw out the spear in his hand, and although he did not stab his opponent, he also slipped in front of the water wave after passing the reloaded step of the water tribe, and was knocked to the ground by the tide in advance.

The Fire Clan heavy cavalry behind all rushed forward bravely, stepping on the corpses of their comrades in front of them and continuing to rush forward.

In the face of this suicidal attack, the Aquarium hoplites are also suffering casualties.

Fortunately, there were less than 200 Fire Clan heavy cavalry, and they were wiped out in less than an hour.

With the fall of the last of the Fire Clan's war horses, Shui Feng immediately ordered He Chong to lead people to clean up the battlefield.

There are only three things we can do to clean up the battlefield:

First, see if the Fire Clan's soldiers are still alive.

Second, collect the weapons and armor of the Fire Clan.

Third, kill the wounded and undead horses.

Especially the third, killing those wounded but not dead war horses made Shui Linbo feel inexplicably sad.

Whereas, the tide is more sensitive to the first and second. There is no one alive, this is normal, war, either you die or I live. But when he took off the armor of the Fire Clan soldiers, Haixi was very emotional.

By taking off the mask of the Fire Clan, he found that these people were all young people the same size as himself!

And in the Flame Pass, the Fire Clan people guarding the pass are all elderly, and there is not a single young person.
