Chapter 39: Ambush

Three days have passed, and Li Chengzhou has already formulated a tactical method with Tomahawk and Li Xiaojiang, and now he is waiting for the people of the Fire Bull Tribe to enter the encirclement - please enter the urn.

The guards fanned out the woods outside the canyon, acting as scouts, hiding themselves and notifying the troops in the canyon to prepare if they spotted the enemy.

Li Chengzhou looked at the dwindling supplies hidden in the forest and began to sigh: "I don't know when this fire bull tribe will arrive, this battle has not started yet, and the materials are already insufficient." The next shipment is still two days away. ”

Li Chengzhou is now gradually able to understand the pressure of Fang Changge to control the entire city, not only to pay attention to external threats, but more importantly, to operate stably internally, and the strongest fortresses are often breached from the inside.

The soldiers were divided into groups and ambushed in preset positions, and every day when the sun set, several soldiers from each position were sent to the baggage place to receive the supplies needed for the next day and dry rations for the whole day the next day.

At this time, you must not light a fire, otherwise you will be seen by the enemy from a distance, and the enemy will take a detour at the least, or be surrounded by counter-surrounding.

But three days later, the canyon was still surprisingly quiet, and there were not even tribes who came to defect. Li Chengzhou couldn't help muttering, he hasn't been here for so long, he shouldn't be.

"Is it a detour from the fire bull? This cow is so cautious? Do you want to be safe even if it's a detour? ”

Just when Li Chengzhou was wondering if the team of the Fire Bull Tribe was preparing to take a detour to another way.

Li Xiaojiang walked over quickly: "Childe, according to the news from the scouts in front, there are about a thousand troops marching towards the canyon one kilometer away from the mouth of the canyon. ”

Li Chengzhou immediately cheered up, now is the first time to independently lead the army to fight with twice as many troops as himself, the city behind him has not been completely completed, if these people are allowed to enter the forest behind him, then the city will be in danger in the future.

Li Chengzhou immediately sent the news to the soldiers in the five positions, and the soldiers immediately cheered up and waited for the soldiers when they heard the news.

One kilometer away from the canyon, a force was slowly marching, and several strong men were carrying a young barbarian on a stretcher, and this young barbarian was the commander sent by the Fire Bull Tribe to plunder the tribes.

At this time, this young barbarian was lying on a stretcher basking in the sun, and at the same time eating meat, not caring whether someone would attack or not, after all, there were more than a thousand warriors, and no one would take the initiative to touch this moldy head.

A tribal leader walked to the stretcher: "Crow, we are about to approach the sea ferry, that place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I need to prepare early and take precautions in advance." ”

The young man lying on the stretcher was named Raven: "This commander, please worry about your own affairs, how can something happen if more than a thousand of our soldiers work together?" ”

"The whole army obeyed the order, quickly passed through the sea crossing, and after plundering that foreign army, we must hurry back, I don't want to stay in this place where birds don't for another day."

The crow fanned the air around him in disgust, in his opinion, staying in this place was a kind of torment, he should stay in the big tent of the fire cow tribe and enjoy it, instead of coming out to lead the team to fight, and he didn't know what his father thought.

After receiving the order, the team of the Fire Bull tribe picked up speed and walked towards the forest, and they would rush headlong towards the encirclement that Li Chengzhou had prepared for them.

The warriors of the Bull Tribe are talking, and the brave warriors are led by cowardly and crow-like cowards who can only call the shots. All the orders came from his mood, and the warriors took a lot of detours along the way, otherwise they would have arrived at least a day earlier.

At the command of the crows, the procession of more than 1,000 people gathered together like a flurry of flies, and walked towards the other end of the canyon.

At first, almost everyone in the team was worried and cautious, but when they were halfway through the journey and found that there was nothing unusual, they completely relaxed and walked forward humming a little song.

When the warriors in front of the Fire Bull Tribe walked out of the forest and saw the two hundred meters of open space, they were a little hesitant in the face of this abnormal situation, and their attention was all focused on this clearing, and they didn't even find the enemy troops not far from their feet, and the closest person was even less than five meters away from them.

Almost all Imperial soldiers covered themselves with leaves and grass, or even buried themselves in the earth, blending in with their surroundings.

The crow was very angry when he saw that the team in front of him was hesitant, and without asking for any reason, he ordered the soldiers to move forward. Even if the soldiers could guess that there was an ambush ahead, they were forced to move forward under pressure.

When the crow was carried out of the forest and appeared in the clearing, it was not aware of the danger. But he saw that the already chaotic ranks suddenly became even more chaotic. There were fighters in the ranks shouting, enemy attack!

In the forest at the end of the clearing, about a hundred armor soldiers walked out, their crossbows in their hands had already been unwound, and the crossbow arrows that flashed with cold light were aimed at them.

The crow has no other skills, and the ability to protect himself is absolutely unique, and he saw that the group of people who suddenly appeared was only about a hundred people, so he turned over and got off the stretcher, pointing to a few people nearby.

"You, you, you, and you, ten of you protect me, and others rush me!"

The soldiers gritted their teeth, charging is death, if they don't rush now, they will die even worse when they go back, and maybe they will even affect their families.

The team of more than 1,000 people was chaotic and charged unorganized, which stunned Li Chengzhou, who did not understand military affairs, and even he understood that this was the way to die.

The crossbowman, under the command of the Tomahawk, fired two rounds of crossbow bolts. The thousand-strong team was instantly reduced to just over 800 people.

Seeing that the warriors were about to charge in front of the crossbowman, the crossbowman turned and walked into the forest, which made the warriors of the Fire Bull tribe who were still charging even though they suffered heavy losses a little confused, but in the next second, something that made them even more frightened happened.

A group of soldiers with thicker armor appeared, and more than fifty sword and shield men leaned together to form a shield wall, followed by more than fifty spearmen sticking their spears out of the gap between the shields.

The bright spear stunned the charging warriors, the speed dropped significantly, and the potential energy gathered by the previous charge completely collapsed, and more than 800 people had no choice but to attack the shield with the primitive weapons in their hands, hoping to open the gap, but the spear that stabbed in and out made the fire bull tribe warriors suffer heavy losses.

The two armies are entangled. There are also primitive versions of sword and shield hands in the Fire Bull tribe, and some warriors make wooden shields out of wood themselves, and spontaneously stand at the forefront, followed by warriors who use stone spears, and poke at the opposite side with the stone spears in their hands. The two sides have come and gone, and the situation has reached a temporary balance.
