Chapter 40: Defeat

The two armies faced each other, the front line was the most dangerous, shield defense, spear attack, iron spear poked a bloody hole, and the stone spear poked into the armor did not have much effect, but there were still soldiers who were stabbed in an unprotected place and injured, and then they were immediately replaced, and new soldiers immediately made up for it.

In a short period of time, the Huoniu tribe lost more than 40 people, and now there are only more than 700 people left, and the soldiers on Li Chengzhou's side were also injured by seven or eight people, and the battle line was immediately loosened a lot.

The warriors of the Fire Bull Tribe planned to continue to storm the formation in one go.

At this time, seeing that more than 100 heavily armored soldiers appeared behind the crumbling formation, Li Xiaojiang led the team to list the same formation as the one in front in the open space behind the battle line.

The soldiers on the front line rushed with shields, and the warriors of the Fire Bull tribe couldn't react, so they were knocked back again and again, and some were even knocked to the ground, and the morale that had just risen was hit again, and even felt like they were about to collapse.

Li Chengzhou couldn't help but pat his thigh, just a little bit, if this collision was more violent, maybe it would have been done.

After the charging soldiers hit the enemy's line, they turned around and quickly retreated, and Li Xiaojiang led the soldiers who were lined up behind them to quickly step forward and stand on the front just now. The warriors who were repelled by a wave did not dare to step forward at this time, and the crows shouted from behind.

"Rush! Rush! Rush over! ”

Tomahawk commanded the crossbowmen to reload their crossbow bolts, aimed diagonally at the sky, and fired, and the warriors in the middle of the battlefield suffered another round of blows, and some panicked, but for the sake of their families in the tribe, the warriors gritted their teeth and continued to fight the battle line.

In the forest behind the Fire Ox tribe were the soldiers who had already been prepared, and they saw the crows that were shouting, and they also saw the enemy army on the opposite side that was about to collapse.

One of the centurions who led the team immediately made a decision and led the team to rush towards the crows, while the other centurion led his troops to remove their disguises and began to form a formation, ready to make dumplings with the right bread.

The crow was still nervously observing the situation on the front line, and if he found that something was wrong, he would definitely be the first to run away.

He didn't notice a group of soldiers running behind him, the soldiers were skillful, the charging spearmen directly pierced the remaining warriors with their spears, and the crows were knocked to the ground by the shield, and the centurion saw that he should be more important, so he spared him and let one of the soldiers drag him to the woods behind.

Then the soldiers were divided into two routes, fifty men each, inserted from both sides of the battlefield, leaving the people of the Fire Ox tribe to run in the middle.

The soldiers in front noticed that the crows had been caught, and some soldiers had attacked from the rear, so they hurriedly formed a formation to meet the more than 100 people who were galloping over.

The crossbow soldiers were bold, even if the front line was very tight, but still fired the last round of crossbow bolts before the charging soldiers could meet the enemy, and then the charging soldiers slammed into the front line of the Fire Ox tribe.

The battle line that cannot be broken, the endless crossbow arrows, the Lord will be captured without a trace, and the weakness of the enemy on the belly and back.

The warriors had tried their best to hold on until now, and finally some of them couldn't bear it anymore, and turned around and ran out of the space deliberately left for them, and even the most determined people would be coerced by the defeat of the army.

Leaving behind 400 corpses, the remaining 600 people ignored the armor behind them, and just wanted to return to where they came.

Four hundred soldiers stood in place, watching the frightened Fire Ox Tribe warriors leave the battlefield, and Tomahawks asked.

"Don't you chase, don't you shoot a few more rounds?"

Li Chengzhou just wanted to speak, but Li Xiaojiang took the first step and said: "Poor Kou Mo chase!" ”

The two men continued to fight each other.

However, the battle on the battlefield is not over.

The warriors watched the forest get closer and closer, and now they just wanted to return to the forest and leave the place forever.

But the heavily-armored soldiers slowly emerging from the forest made them despair.

Hundreds of soldiers walked forward in orderly steps, and the soldiers were suppressed by this powerful aura and retreated again and again. They looked behind them, and the troops of nearly 400 people also formed a formation and walked slowly, and the soldiers did not want to die here, so they began to cheer each other up, breaking through the formation of the 100 people in front of them and escaping.

The centurion, seeing that they were hesitant and seemed to have renewed their morale, stepped forward and shouted, "Retreat!" ”

The soldiers shouted in unison: "Retreat!" ”

A loud wave echoed through the canyon, and a loud shout re-crushed the newly condensed morale, and the warriors retreated again and again, becoming even more chaotic.

Eventually, in the center of the battlefield, the warriors had no way out, and they collapsed to the point of no return.

The soldiers were fifty meters apart, and in the middle were crowded fighters.

"We should retreat fifty meters, leave them enough safety distance, let them calm down, and then take prisoners, the rout is the most dangerous, they are more numerous than us, if we really force a counterattack, it is also more dangerous, we are slowly trying to do it."

Li Chengzhou just wanted to step forward to persuade the other side, but when he heard what Li Xiaojiang said, he felt that it was very reasonable.

"Well, then do as you say! You command! ”

Li Xiaojiang waved the battle flag and ordered the soldiers to retreat fifty meters. The soldiers quickly passed along the bottom of the peak, with a hundred sword shields, a hundred spearmen, and fifty crossbowmen on each side, in case the barbarian warriors broke through the weak positions.

The centurion who charged before brought the crow over: "Childe, I think this person's status is not low, so I left him a dog's life!" ”

Li Chengzhou was overjoyed, he didn't expect to catch a big fish this time, and he could take this opportunity to get to know the Fire Bull tribe well. The centurion in front of him is not a reckless person, he also has something.

"What's your name? You can come to me when you go back. ”

The centurion is overjoyed: "The villain's name is Jin Ding, and he lives in Xianyang...."

Li Chengzhou nodded, feeling that this person is not a waste, and he also has ideas and strategies, anyway, the previous General Wang is not on his side, so he can discuss with Fang Lao and change someone to be the chief general of this legion, such as the centurion just now, but it still has to go through some tests.

Li Chengzhou asked this centurion to bring the fainted crow down first, this kind of gentleman is generally a waste, with his current state he can't ask anything, as for the interrogation, it's better to hand it over to General Meng, he must have a lot of ways.

The most urgent task at the moment is to find a way to co-opt this collapsed barbarian army.

Tomahawk walked over and looked at the head of the room who was frowning.

"I'll go up and try it later, shall I? As a barbarian in the forest, what I say is more like that of the people of this forest, and what you say is not as effective as what I say. ”

Li Chengzhou nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll leave it to you, Brother Tomahawk!" ”

happened to be worried about how to do this, it happened that Li Xiaojiang and Tomahawk were comparing with each other, and they were happy.
