The sixty-third episode of counterattack
Under the cover of non-stop artillery bombardment, the jackal warriors flocked to the Seven Star Fort like a tide, and the feathered arrows fired by each other on both sides were densely intertwined in the air, and the ground inside and outside the bamboo wall was full of arrows, and the bowstring sounded loudly.
Putting life and death aside, the jackal warriors jumped off the trench one after another, wading into the water and pounced on the bamboo wall.
In the trench, sharp bamboo spears are inserted diagonally outward, dense like a forest of guns, high and low above the water, and under the water, there are sharp bamboo thorns.
The jackal warriors wading in the water are constantly blocked by the bamboo spears and bamboo thorns that are bright or dark, and they are struggling, and if they stumble, they may be stabbed, and there are even more unlucky people who slip under their feet and fall on the bamboo spears, and they are immediately stabbed in half, and they are killed.
On the bamboo wall, the Niu defenders kept firing arrows at the gnolls in the ditch, the distance was close, the targets were dense, and the movement was slow, it was a live target that could be shot with eyes closed.
The deep trench was quickly filled with the corpses of the gnolls, sinking and floating in the blood-red water.
Stepping on the corpses of their companions, the attack of the jackals became more violent, and several places on the bamboo wall were breached.
And outside, in the wilderness, the situation has changed.
The shrinking encirclement of flames had finally compressed the gnolls to a crowded distance, but by this time, the wall of fire had been exhausted.
Because of the repeated trampling of more than 10,000 gnolls, the rice on the ground near their home camp has been trampled into the mud, without the support of fuel, and the wall of fire is gradually extinguished.
Behind the wall, the bull and bear wielded swords and fought the gnolls.
The Niu people, who have always suffered from not being able to fight the gnolls, finally found an opportunity, and now the gnolls have no place to move around, so they have to choose to fight the opponent.
At this moment, the brute strength of the Ox and Bear people finally came into play, their spears and knives were big, and although the Jackals were brave, they could not resist.
Amid a series of screams, the battle line of the Bull and Bear warriors slowly pushed forward, leaving a stump in its wake.
At this point in the battle, all the fighters on both sides who can go berserk have gone berserk and become the backbone of their respective fronts.
Among them, a young but tall figure is particularly eye-catching, he dances a halberd and shouts a fierce battle, and no one dares to raise his reins.
This person is Niu Ben, a hero from ancient times, at a young age, he is already in the realm of two madness, and his talent is extraordinary.
After the madness, Niu Ben is not only tall and strong, but also the single horn on his head has become extremely thick and sharp, and it has also become a killer weapon that can be used for fighting.
On the battle line, Niu Ben clearly stood out at the forefront, and under his leadership, he used him as an arrow to form a horn that pierced deeply into the enemy's battle line, and countless jackals died at his hands.
"There's a fort over there, take it!" shouted Xiong Da, who was in charge of commanding this front, as he wildly slammed a pair of huge hammers and flattened all the blockers.
The warriors of the bull and bear tribes desperately approached the fort, and the jackal warriors also knew the importance of the fort and resisted desperately, and the two sides could not hold each other for a while, and both suffered heavy casualties.
And on the lookout platform of the main fort in the center of the Seven Star Castle, Lin Xiao said to Niu Zhen on the side: "Brother Niu, it's almost time, it's time to give them the strongest blow." ”
"Okay!" Niu Zhen nodded silently and turned away.
"Lil, this position is given to you, keep an eye on it. Lin Xiao said to the one who had just walked up to the lookout.
"Okay! As soon as there is a flaw, I will do it. Leopard Li's eyes shone sharply, and she had a sword-sharp temperament in battle.
"Today, I'm going to kill hard!" Lin Xiao said in a deep voice, and a pile of shiny hideous armor appeared in front of him, which was the ancient armor of the Tiger Clan.
In the open space between the main fort of the Seven Star Fort and the outer branch forts, more than a thousand of the most elite warriors of the Niu Clan were standing solemnly, completely ignoring the continuous bombardment of cannonballs falling nearby, splashing patches of dirt.
They were all dressed in fine armor with glittering cold light, a breastplate made of stainless steel, a shiny helmet with sharp thorns, and a thick armor plate interspersed with arm guards and armor skirts to protect all their limbs.
And in their hands, they all clenched the incomparably sophisticated weapons, the tips of the spears glowing with a glowing blue glow, and the edges of the knives flashed with clouds and water patterns formed by repeated stacking.
The equipment of these 1,000 or so Bull Clan warriors is also worthy of being possessed by the main battle force in a first-class human country.
All of this was given by Lin Xiao.
When these thousands of sets of armor and weapons were removed from the space ring that Lin Xiao had given him, which was more than ten times larger than his original size, and piled up in front of everyone like a small mountain, they could no longer react except for being stunned.
This batch of equipment was one of the surprises that Lin Xiao received from the Nihong Tribe, which was originally prepared for the leopard clan, but now it is used for emergency purposes first.
Wearing fine armor, holding the coveted sharp weapon in his hand, and being refrigerated and suppressed for so long on the battlefield with a murderous sound, the eyes of this Thousand Niu Clan warriors were full of monstrous battle intent.
In the crowd, Niu Qiang was silently putting a shabby linen robe on the outside of his armor, and the light brown linen was full of dark brown spots.
At the gate of the main castle, the figure of Niu Zhen appeared, and he was also well-equipped.
Everyone lifted their heads and looked at their leader expectantly.
Niu Zhen slowly looked around at the thousand most elite warriors in front of him, and everywhere he looked, he saw firmness and determination.
"Sons of the Niu Clan!" Niu Zhen's voice sounded in a low voice, "Eighty years, we have suffered from their humiliation. They robbed us of our food, and we endured it. They burned our house, and we endured it. They killed us, and we endured. Because, we can't fight them. But we don't dare to forget these blood debts for a day!"
There was a sigh all around.
"Today!" Niu Zhen raised his voice, "We have finally waited for this opportunity to fight with them! Today, let me lead you, lead the new generation of you, the Niu clan, and use the swords and guns in our hands to recover the blood debt for those ancestors who died in vain." Today, we want to be ashamed and let everyone remember that our Niu clan is by no means a cowardly nation that can only swallow its anger!"
"Pay off the blood debt!"
"Kill all the gnolls!"
"Get out!"
......
Swords and spears were raised like a forest.
Niu Qiang's eyes were blood-red, and he whimpered and clutched the shabby robe on his chest: "Grandpa, after waiting for fifteen years, I finally waited until today." Watch me for your Heroic Spirit, and I will let the blood of the gnolls drench your bloody garments today. ”
"As soon as the drawbridge fell, you struck them out with me and drove them into the river. Kill them today. Niu Zhen raised his right fist high and shouted.
There was a loud "boom", and a stone cannon hit the front of the main fort, piercing through the fort wall, and the entire earthen fort shook suddenly, and the smashed mud fell down like hail.
But all this could not hide the sound of the mountain cry from the mouths of the thousand warriors.
On the field, around the forts, the competition is unprecedentedly fierce, with arrows like locusts and swords and guns like forests.
The dull crashing sound, the low roar, the clashing of knives and guns, and the screams of dying were mixed together, making the brave and the cowardly tremble.
The battle lines of the two sides are crowded together, there is no way to move at all, now there is no move at all, as long as you can free your hand and stab a sword forward, it will not fail, death has become the most ordinary thing here, blood is cheaper than water here.
Niu Ben's halberd had been broken, he grabbed a round shield, a simple knife, relying on his height and strength, with his body against the shield, crashed away from the enemy in front of him, and then used this short space to raise his knife and slash, one by one.
The heavy Pu knife had been cut in several places, blood flowed down from the knife, overflowed the gauntlet, soaked the hilt, and the hand was holding straight and slippery, he wrapped the red tassel at the end of the knife around his hand for several turns as a fix, and continued to slash.
Niu Ben only cared about rushing to kill, but suddenly saw a tall wooden pillar appear in front of him, he looked up, and suddenly came to his senses.
With a sweep of his sword, he slashed down a jackal warrior and shouted, "Niu Ben has captured a fort!"
"Shaogu Master Gong!" The Niu clan warriors thundered with joy, their morale was greatly boosted, and the offensive was sudden.
Seeing that the battle for the fort was over, the Jackals set fire to the remaining forts, which soon turned into raging flames.
"Father, the fort is lost!" exclaimed Jackal.
"What's the panic!" the jackal scolded violently: "Now as long as you attack the Seven Star Fort with all your strength, as long as you take the Seven Star Fort and master the women and children of the Niu Clan in it, you can naturally collapse their fighting spirit in one fell swoop." You go to supervise the battle yourself, and you must completely break through the bamboo wall within a quarter of an hour. ”
"Yes!" Jackal led his several relatives and soldiers away quickly, and his body was already mad.
"Niu Zhen, do you really think that we gnolls will not dare to fight you hard? I have twice as many troops as you, so I don't believe that I can't kill you. The jackal gritted his teeth and growled.
After the jackals killed several retreating leaders in a row, the attack of the jackals became fierce again, and the bamboo wall defense line was in danger.
And on the west side of the bamboo wall, where the jackal soldiers were most concentrated, the wall was densely filled with the more than 1,000 heavily armed bull warriors who were ready to go, quietly, without making a sound.
Among the warriors, Lin Xiao, who was dressed in a hideous outfit, was particularly conspicuous, and the plate armor with sharp corners protruding from the joints of his body enveloped his whole body, like a monster.
And in his hand, he held a strange and terrible weapon, like a gun, like a hammer, and like a mace, which was Lin Xiao's favorite long soldier - a stabbing gun.
In front of this group of warriors, next to the inside of the bamboo wall stood several behemoths lined up, and upon closer inspection, they found that they were actually a group of giant bulls, taller and more robust than ordinary bison.
These are the beast relatives of the Ox Clan, each one is one foot high at the shoulder, weighs more than a thousand catties, the muscles are bulging, full of explosive power, and the huge horns are tied with sharp short swords.
On the bodies of these giant bulls, bamboo armor made of thick bamboo pieces is draped to protect their whole body.
On these bamboo armors, the faces of monsters with teeth and claws are painted, and the mouth is like a blood basin, and the fangs are dense, which makes people fearful.
