Chapter 118: The Barbarians Attack
"Good fellow, such a big man, and driving away a dense group of tigers, leopards, lions and wolves and other fierce beasts. Just like driving a flock of sheep, the whole team of the barbarians stretched for thousands of miles, like the Milky Way leaking out, and the universe was endless......"
"Alright...... Don't talk to Lao Tzu!" Hao Darthead let out another loud shout, causing the young boy to immediately close his duck beak.
There were a few people around with sharp ears, and when they heard the words of the boy's brother, they were immediately frightened and trembled, hugged their heads and cried bitterly: "My God, there are so many barbarian soldiers and beasts! It seems that we can't survive tonight, and most of our little lives will be thrown into the stomachs of these beasts.
Hao Darttou said to the boy with a stern face: "If it is really as you said, there is such a large group of barbarian men and horses who crossed the border and invaded here. That is the most elite Huwei field army of the barbarians, which means that our Hongzhou and the barbarian empire have officially started a war, and the whole state will be ignited by beacon fires. Boy, you must be held accountable for what you have said, and I will ask you again: Are you sure you saw an army of barbarians slaughtering you?"
The young man's mouth was wide open, as if he had been immobilized, and he didn't say anything for a while.
Seeing this, Hao Dangtou grabbed him by the collar, shook his neck and asked, "Are you talking? How many people are there in the bottom of them?"
The boy came back to his senses, he blinked his eyes, and muttered: "This big brother is honest, when we met that strange-looking team on the road ahead, we were almost scared to death." Turn around and run, how can you care if he is an army or a squad. But I am responsible for telling you that the barbarians did drive away the wolves and leopards, and this was clearly seen in the dark night, and the eyes of the jackals and leopards gave off a cold green light, and they stopped the carriage in which I was riding. If it weren't for the fact that the three of us knew some martial arts, jumped out of the carriage and rushed out of the bloody road, I am afraid that we would have gathered in the belly of that group of fierce beasts at this moment. ”
"After talking for a long time, how many barbarian generals did you see?" Hao Dangtou asked again.
The boy pursed the corners of his lips and said embarrassedly: "Actually, now that I think about it, I have seen more than a dozen aliens." He went on to emphasise: "But there must be a large group of men and horses behind us, and we felt that the trees in the woods on both sides were falling to both sides in a hurry, and the barbarian army was opening a road in the mountains and building a bridge when it met the water." ”
"It turned out to be just a small group of men and servant beasts. ”
Hao Darttou snorted, let go of the collar of the boy's brother, and said to the people around him: "Recently, the barbarians have been sending small forces across the border and deep into the hinterland of Hongzhou to disturb our ordinary people. In my experience, I guess these people are little more than a small group of barbarian guerrillas. ”
A big man next to him spoke nervously: "The small guerrilla force of the barbarians is similar to our Dachu scout team, but it is not very terrifying. I'm afraid that the soldiers and beasts they drove with them, those specially trained beasts are extremely fierce, and they have also learned some simple tactical coordination, plus they can hide between dense forests and mountains, and they are very difficult to deal with. ”
Hao Darttou nodded slightly, looked at the dark intersection in front of him, and said in his mouth: "Since there is a barbarian army in front, I think we should retreat, these barbarian guerrillas have entered the territory of my Dachu, and the main task is to loot supplies. ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and was about to give the order to the dart masters to retreat.
At this time, Lu Zhan said: "Slow, Hao Darthead, if you want to withdraw now, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
"What?" the crowd looked at him.
"Their aliens have come after them. Lu Zhan pointed to the dark night road ahead and said, "What we have to do now is to arrange defenses as soon as possible, it should be too late." If you want to escape, then such a large number of people, still carrying the old and supporting the young, will definitely not be able to escape far away with the goods. ”
Everyone turned their heads to look ahead, but they saw pitch black, but they couldn't see anything.
But gradually, after a while, a few martial artists from the Bone Forging Realm and the Qi Condensing Realm faintly recognized a dozen small green points of light flickering in the darkness.
Seeing this, the young boy pinched his throat and shouted: "Oh God, it's the wolf's eyes that are coming, and the vanguard of their army has already been killed." ”
This voice shouted out, frightening several onlookers next to them to lose their souls, and they also screamed loudly: "Oh no! The barbarians are coming!"
The scene suddenly fell into a panic that went out of control.
Hao Dangtou glared at Gongzi'er angrily, pointed at the tip of his nose and shouted: "You kid don't want to confuse the public here?" I see that you are also a person who cultivates martial arts, and your cultivation is not low. Why don't you even have the warrior demeanor that a warrior should have? Here is a surprise to make us blind, if the boy is afraid, you should run away first. ”
The boy pouted aggrievedly and explained: "Big brother, it's the first time people go out, and they don't have much experience in the rivers and lakes, so I'm afraid that I will be like a deer." If I don't cry out these fears and sorrows, I will have to hold back my heart and make myself depressed, just like my second brother. I'm venting, I'm decompressing myself, this kind of advanced knowledge in books forgives you for not understanding this truth. ”
"In order not to scare yourself out of depression, you have to open your mouth to scare others to death?" Hao Darthead was furious, and he couldn't care about it, and blurted out his true thoughts: "I think you sons and brothers from wealthy families are all so selfish ghosts, and they should all feed the wolves." ”
Lu Zhan also came out on the side, in fact, Hao Darttou himself was a little panicked, now that he is the supreme leader here, he should either gather people to arrange defenses, or lead everyone to quickly evacuate the danger first, in short, it should be decided immediately and take action. But this Hao Darttou spent his tongue entangled with this seemingly mentally handicapped wealthy son, completely forgetting the imminent crisis.
He intervened between the two of them, and calmly said to Hao Darthead: "Don't worry about this hysterical boy first, our top priority is to immediately arrange defensive measures, if the other party is just a small group of scouts plus some conscription beasts, we just need to arrange it properly, plus the dart board and so many other young and strong people should be able to block their attack." But the timing was delayed, and when all the men and horses behind them came in, we could organize resistance again, and it would be too late. ”
"Well, good, good. Hao Darttou listened to the opinion and turned to the left and right, and shouted loudly: "Listen to me, everyone, take up arms, and if you don't have weapons, find stones and sticks nearby, and prepare to meet those damned barbarian savages." ”
The dart masters and executioners, as well as the brave young and strong people, screamed violently, and they all got up and rubbed their hands.
Lu Zhan stood aside and watched as Hao Dart commanded his subordinates to arrange defenses, only to see that this team of darts consisted of fifteen carriages, a dart master with a slightly higher martial arts attainment, plus ordinary executioners with sparse martial arts, and those coachmen who drove the cars, a total of more than 100 people. Some of the people were holding swords and shields, some were holding bows, arrows and crossbows, or lying on the car, or running to the side of the road to find cover, looking a little disorganized, obviously not having much training, compared to the few squads under the Lu Mansion Nursing Hall.
And those ordinary people, except for dozens of brave young men who stood up to help the enemy, the rest were at a loss to hug a ball and cry, trembling, complaining, they wanted to escape, and they were afraid that they would bump into more barbarian armies on the road, and wanted to stay next to the dart team, but they were afraid that the goal of the dart masters was too big to not only not protect them, but also vulnerable to siege. In short, the scene is very chaotic and tangled.
When Lu Zhan's martial arts attainments were still in the realm of forging bones, he went to the Ghost Face Cliff alone and destroyed thousands of people's cottages, and his current martial arts attainments were at the peak of the Qi Condensation realm, so naturally he would not be afraid of those barbarian troops with a limited number. But the last time he went to the Ghost Face Cliff, he was alone and had no scruples, but this time there were so many civilians around him, if he wanted to protect them from harm, it was obvious that courage and strong combat power alone would not be enough.
He had never seen a barbarian in his life, but he had only heard the villain of the Lu Mansion or Lu Bufan occasionally mention to him that the southernmost end of Hongzhou was the junction of the Great Chu Empire and the Barbarian Alliance Empire. The Barbarian Alliance Empire is a kingdom formed by the alliance of hundreds of different barbarian tribes. Due to the different races of the tribes, there are many different races, including giant giants, dwarves who are much smaller than ordinary people, and even orcs who look like half-humans, half-beasts.
Most of the population of this allied empire lived in wild mountains or primeval forests that stretched for tens of thousands of miles, and many tribes were not fully civilized and had their own civilizations. Therefore, the barbarian allies still maintain many of the customs of the ancient ancestors.
These barbarians are said to be savage, bloodthirsty, ferocious, and agile. They often associate themselves with fierce beasts and fierce beasts, so they have developed the ability to resist beasts and drive away beasts, and those beasts that have been trained by them to become their combat weapons, those of a lower level are called "servant beasts", and those of higher rank are called "fighting beasts".
Lu Zhan saw that Hao Darthead was in a hurry and was a little overwhelmed, so he opened his mouth and reminded kindly: "I'm afraid it's not okay to line up like this." The convoy is now arranged in a 'one' line formation, and your number is not large, and when those barbarians and those conscripts and beasts rush over together, it will be difficult for you to take care of the end of the whole convoy, and the entire convoy will soon be scattered by them, and will be divided into several pieces, which will easily be broken and wiped out by them. ”;
