Chapter 155: The Power of the Beasts
This can not only minimize human damage, but also can maximize the large-scale killing of beasts, but it is the best of both worlds.
Although the thoughts of the apes were not very complicated at this time, because of the clear distinction between the army and the locality, the Chinese martial arts of the Vulcan Kingdom had been separated, and at this time there were differences of opinion, and seeing that they could not convince each other, both sides began to debate their opinions.
The situation of verbal and sword-rattling was completely staged, and in Chen Xu's opinion, it was quite a bit of a discussion in front of the accounts of later generations.
In the end, Chen Xu, the Vulcan God covered the coffin, decided to adopt a compromise method, on the one hand, he sent troops to clean up the surrounding territories and minimize the number of beasts in the beast tide, and on the other hand, he began to arrange traps and fortresses within a radius of a hundred miles from the Vulcan Kingdom.
In short, it is to take advantage of all the dangerous terrain to build a so-called defensive layer.
And Chen Xu stipulated that during this period of time, these two things are the top priority, placed at the core, all the affairs of the Vulcan Kingdom must be centered on these two things, and the others that can be slowed down should be slowed down as much as possible, and do everything possible to open the way for these two things.
If there is a conflict, make way for both things.
After quickly establishing the tone for the development of the Vulcan Kingdom in the near future, Chen Xu let everyone disperse, and soon, the order spread throughout the Vulcan Kingdom, and this huge fighting machine with modern civilization began to operate, adding another heavy touch to the already stagnant atmosphere.
With the passage of time, a layer of oppressive atmosphere was enveloped in the entire boundless land, not only in the jungle, but also in the depths of the grassland, around the various tribes, this atmosphere gradually came to the fore, spreading in all directions.
If there are people who can identify the existence of the aura vortex, they will find that the aura vortex above many tribes, including the Vulcan tribe, is stained with a strange dark red.
Whenever these dark red aura was inhaled into the body of the beasts, the eyes of these beasts would turn red, and some of them would lose their minds, and unnaturally produce a sense of rage in their hearts.
At this moment, the entire Stone Age aura sea seemed to be shrouded in a faint red mist, and in the boundless land, it was centered on the huge spiritual cloud in the deepest part of the boundless earth, and the spiritual energy vortex above the other tribes was used as a stronghold, forming a vast net in the sky.
In the jungle, it is centered on the scattered spiritual energy settlements, radiating out to the surroundings, completely connecting with the boundless earth, forming a large net that covers the sky and envelops all living beings.
Under the influence of this red aura, except for the Jungle Overlord and above who have truly evolved spiritual intelligence, as well as the huge apes, all other beasts have been affected, and they have lost their most basic judgment ability.
The entire Stone Age was in turmoil, and although the various tribes were not as prepared as the Vulcan Kingdom, they did not sit idly by, and they all integrated the forces in the tribes to prepare for the next beast tide.
The wait was not long, the pits and strongholds of the Vulcan Kingdom had not yet been fully established, and the Vulcan division group cruising outside had already been discovered.
The First Division is an old and powerful division of the Vulcan Kingdom, and their main defense area is near the jungle in the southwest corner, and it is they who are the first to encounter them when they come out of the jungle.
As the commander of the First Division, Ape Man No. 1 had just finished clearing out several small beasts in the vicinity when he received a report from his subordinates that a large number of beasts had rushed out of the jungle and headed straight for their position.
Slightly stunned, Ape Man No. 1 quickly sent someone to inform Chen Xu, and at the same time began to deploy, gathering the heads of the three battle groups and assigning combat tasks.
The array pulled out, and the three Vulcan warbands, with a total of 3,000 people, lined up in an orderly phalanx, placing all kinds of weapons, and opposite them, there was a herd of beasts that were black and overwhelming.
Even if Ape Man No. 1 is the commander of the division, he has been fighting for a long time, and he has practiced the Fire Lion Fist, and now his strength is so strong that he can already escape from the hands of ordinary jungle overlords, but when he suddenly saw this scene in front of him, he still couldn't help but feel trembling in his heart.
However, in the end, it was a well-trained Vulcan high-level, and the first division was the elite of the entire Vulcan army, and the ape-man No. 1 issued an order in an orderly manner in the blink of an eye.
No matter what, he must get the specific impact data of these beasts to lay the foundation for future battles, this is the glory of the first division, and it is also the order given by Chen Xu, the first division must be completed.
Fortunately, the ape warriors of the first division are the elite of the Vulcan Kingdom, and they are all well aware of Xiao Zhou's martial arts and various national arts, and even in terms of weapons and equipment, they have incomparable advantages over other warbands.
The martial arts literacy and actual combat level of each small leader are much stronger than those of other divisions, and all along, the ape warriors of the first division have always struggled on the front line of the jungle, and they have long been accustomed to the hard battle with the jungle overlord, and they are the most successful battle group trained by Chen Xu.
The officers and enlisted were able to make good use of the weapons at hand and possessed a high level of tactical literacy.
In the face of the crazy onslaught and the black pressure apes that could not be seen at a glance, these ape warriors only scratched slightly, and quickly settled down under the command of the nearest level, and accurately carried out the combat orders at the division and regiment level.
Under the strict network of officers, almost every part of the instructions issued by the division commander level was perfectly conveyed and implemented without any water.
The beasts approached, and the crazy red eyes, the large saliva mouth, and the hideous fangs were all completely revealed.
Faced with this situation, a level of order was issued, and the three warbands began to act in accordance with the order.
First of all, the long-range attack of the longarrow, after this time period, the bow and arrow of the Vulcan Kingdom have almost reached a mature level, and bamboo, bronze, and even black iron, which has a small production, have been applied to the production of longbows.
With the development of animal husbandry, wool, deer hair, horsetail, animal tendons and other things such as animal tendons were also thoroughly perfected, and together with other things as bow handles, a perfect longbow production system was built.
With the rapidly maturing longbow production system, after the bronze industry flourished, qualified longarrows also entered the historical stage.
With Chen Xu's guidance, various industries have risen rapidly, including the carpenter's industry, with the existence of carpenters, some suitable long arrow shafts have also been successfully developed, and various arrowheads have also stepped onto the historical stage.
Therefore, at this time, the long arrow strike of the Vulcan army, even if it is a little more than the Ming and Qing armies of later generations, that is, the difference in quality is just a little, but in terms of quantity, it can be drowned.
If you look down from the height above the battlefield, you will find that with the sound of the bowstring, there seem to be three shields made of steel suddenly appear in the space in front of the Vulcan army.
The roaring beast gradually condensed like a sharp arrow, and slammed into the three shields, and immediately the arrow was directly cut off, but the handle of the arrow still moved forward, and completely shattered, like a honeycomb that had been smashed to the ground, and burst out of an endless swarm of bees.
"Put!"
The roar continued, and in the face of the fierce beast that was not afraid of death, although the Vulcan warrior also looked a little trembling, but he did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and began to retreat steadily, draw the bow, and wind it up under a command, and perform the archer's task like a cloud.
After almost every ape-man shot three or four rounds of long arrows, the originally menacing beast herd vanguard was also completely dispersed, and the combination of beasts disappeared and began to attack indiscriminately, and at this time, they were not far from the Vulcan army, and then used long arrows to strike, it was already a little unwieldy.
A few loud roars sounded, and the three warbands methodically put away the longbows on their backs, took out their weapons, and prepared, and collided with the oncoming beast tide.
As if using the solid rocks in the river beach, the already scattered torrent was completely blocked in an instant, and the passionate siege began.
By the time Chen Xu arrived, the scene had basically been decided, the forerunner of this beast tide had been completely annihilated in this place, and the apes had already begun to clean up the battlefield.
Glancing at the battlefield that was almost completely dyed red, Chen Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and after finding that Ape Man No. 1 had arrived with several deputy division commanders, he quickly asked, "How is the battle going?"
Arching their hands, Ape Man No. 1 and the others first gave Chen Xu a salute and expressed the respect in their hearts, and then Ape Man No. 1 answered Chen Xu's question, saying, "Great Fire God, the combat effectiveness of this beast tide is not very good, and it has lost its sharpness under the blow of the long arrow before, so our losses in this battle are not big." ”
"In the case of the total annihilation of the beast tide, only more than a hundred brothers were lost. ”
"Really?"
Raising his eyebrows, Chen Xu ignored the statement of Ape Man No. 1, but personally went deep into the battlefield to take a look, and picked up those broken long arrows from time to time.
Although Ape One didn't know what the Vulcan was doing, he also felt the abnormality of the atmosphere, and they all dispersed the joy in their hearts and began to follow silently.
After looking at it for a long time, Chen Xu suddenly sighed, and pulled out the long arrow from a beast again, only to see that the arrow was already left in the beast's body, and there was only a bare arrow handle left in his hand.
The problem he was worried about really appeared, the quality of this long arrow is still not good, and it is not obvious in normal times, but in this beast tide, after a battle, less than one-tenth of the complete arrow that can be recovered, and all the others are destroyed, which is not of great use.
In this way, even if the number of long arrows in the Vulcan tribe is stored, it is not enough, Chen Xu has not forgotten that when the beast tide occurs, almost the beasts in the entire jungle will appear, and it is really difficult to calculate how many of them are.
I'm afraid that this herd of beasts in front of me, which is quite large, is probably just a drop in the bucket compared to it.
