Chapter 1120: Prelude to the Counteroffensive

Twenty miles outside Hushan City, the Chu army camp, this camp and Hushan City are each other's horns, reflecting each other from afar, resisting the barbarian army charge like a tide, and with the perfection of three months, the whole camp has been a trench staggered, rejecting horses in piles, and there is a division of elite stationed here, the barbarian army's offensive in the past few days has all ended in failure.

Woo woo, the melodious horn fluttered over Tiger Mountain again, a few black spots flew in the sky, and standing on Tiger Mountain City, wearing armor, his eyes were slightly red silk, but his spirit did not have a sense of fatigue Chang Yuchun looked up and saw the eagle falcon flying in mid-air.

These eagle falcons are not the empty horses of Da Chu, but the empty horses of the Tusi barbarian army, and among them, there are also disciples of the Beast Royal Gate who mix with them, "Guard!" On the not wide head of Hushan City, one after another flying crossbows are aimed at the sky, and in the city, the earth bags form an inclined plane, so that the large bed crossbows have enough angles to shoot into the sky.

Although Hushan City is already the largest city in the Hushan area, it is still too small, and it can only be compared with the average small county town, and at this moment, the barbarians living in Hushan City have been sent to the rear, and the whole city has become a small fortress, and it is a fortress full of thorns.

Chang Yuchun did not stay on the falcon flying in the sky, although Da Chu has always attached importance to the construction of the air beast horse, but compared with the established beast ride on land, the formation of the air horse is much more difficult, and it cannot be used without high-level large bird spirit beasts, and this itself limits the number of air horses.

Now Da Chu can be described as a two-front battle, if it is divided in detail, even the third line, a big battlefield in Qingzhou, a big battlefield in Shuzhou, plus the main information transmission, Da Chu's not a small number of air cavalry is simply a drop in the bucket, and this time the main force of the barbarian army on the front line of Hushan was outflanked, and most of the air cavalry forces were pieced together. On the side of Hushan City, there are only a few empty horses left.

Unless, in the first two or three days, a skirmish broke out between the two sides, and each other won and lost. In recent days, above Da Chu's head, there is no protection of his own air horses, but fortunately, the number of air horses in the barbarian army is also limited, plus Da Chu has a large number of bed crossbows, bows and arrows, and it is difficult for these air horses to break through this air defense line. And long-distance strikes, the damage is not great, so the greater role of these air cavalry is to observe the battle situation and convey the situation of the Chu army in the city.

The falcon hovered overhead, signaling the start of another day's offensive of the Toast Barbarians, and from the distant horizon, the lines of crowds of people became thicker and thicker. Amid the sound of horns, the ground trembled slightly.

"Damn it, it's the rhino brutes again!" said a towering watchtower. Fan Tian slammed down the railing, Fan Tian was not an archer, but the commander of the heavy armored brigade under Xu Da, who was also responsible for the defense of the large battalion, and in the past few days, the heavy armored brigade under his command could be said to have suffered a lot of losses.

Although Fan Tian's heavy armor brigade belongs to the C heavy armor, the weight is not only inferior to the heavy armor of the forbidden army, but also not as good as the heavy armor brigade in some specialized infantry divisions, but the heavy armor is heavy armor, and the defense is not weak at all. Bows and arrows in the barbarians could hardly do much damage to them.

And in melee combat, one heavy armor soldier is enough to carry the opponent's sword, and then go to chop another barbarian, as long as they are not out of the group, and there are companions to respond, almost the heavy infantry is invincible. What's more, they still rely on some of the defenses they have built over the past few days.

But since three days ago, after a powerful barbarian beast horse appeared, his life has become sad, and a troop sent by the Yuxi Rhino Tusi Leader has joined the Tusi coalition army in front of him, and this Tusi Leader, the most powerful is nothing more than the rhinoceros beast.

The rhino beast, weighing dozens of tons, has thick legs, and its body is covered with a thick layer of skin, as strong as armor, and the sharp rhino horns on the top of the head, running, it can be said that the earth is shaking the mountains, compared to the rock heavy cavalry in the three A heavy armored brigades in the White Tiger Legion, at least in the head, it is three laps larger.

Every time the rhinoceros beast rode out, it made Fan Tian's heart pound, this big guy could hit him with a heavy infantry squad with a charge, even if he was wearing heavy armor, but the violent impact was still terrifying, and his heavy armor defense line was completely ornamental in front of this big guy.

Seeing that the number of rhino beasts dispatched by the other party this time was far better than the previous two times, Fan Tian felt a chill in his heart: "Come on, go and inform the commander of the Xu Division, the barbarian army has dispatched no less than a hundred rhino beasts to ride towards us!" With less than 3,000 heavy armor left under his command, he couldn't carry it at all.

And immediately behind the rhino beasts, there are a large number of agile beast riders and overwhelming barbarian warriors, once the other party tears the opening, these beast horses will be like a scimitar into the camp, even if the entire camp is very well built, such as plum petals, layers of defense, but once the outer defense is broken, the entire camp will become precarious.

It didn't take long for Fan Tian to report the news, Xu Da had already appeared on the general platform not far from the camp, looking at the distance of not more than two miles, and even the huge body of the rhinoceros beast, and even the barbarian soldiers on the back, Xu Da had no expression, turned his head, and said: "Commander Fan Brigade, after the rhino beast attacks, your heavy armored brigade will retreat after a little resistance!"

"What!" Fan Tian was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Division commander, if we withdraw, who will stop the tide of barbarians!"

Xu Da pursed his lips and smiled: "Let you retreat, where did you get so much nonsense, your heavy armored brigade is not strong enough, I have prepared more than 200 large vehicles behind the battalion, after retreating to the rear camp, leave immediately!"

When Fan Tian heard this, he immediately had a score in his heart, but he didn't dare to say surely: "Division commander, this is about to counterattack?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, I'll go and order the group of rabbit cubs below!" Fan Tian didn't ask any more questions, and quickly ran down the general platform to convey the order, their big camp was already the last and largest camp outside Hushan City, and it echoed Hushan City from afar, and they were horns of each other, so that the Tusi barbarian army had to divide a large number of troops to fight, and could not attack Hushan City with all their might.

Once this place is breached, it also means that Hushan City will be besieged and besieged, this is a crisis, but for Da Chu, it is a decoy deliberately thrown down, once the barbarian army besieges Hushan City, then the counteroffensive that has been waiting for is not far away.

The ground was shattered by the loud sound of stomping on the ground, and the tonnage of the rhinoceros was vividly expressed here.

Although it is known that the bow and arrow are ineffective against it, but in the Great Chu military camp. On the phalanx, there were still pieces of bows and arrows flying into the air, and then falling like dense raindrops.

"Wind!" In a hundred-person phalanx, there is the existence of a formation mage. And these hundred people stepped on a talisman array under the command of the formation mage, as the formation mage opened the formation, suddenly a stream of blue light escaped from the formation, and the archers in the formation suddenly felt lighter, and the bow in his hand became lighter.

"Chu Feng, Chu Feng ......!" accompanied by the shouts of the archers, the humming sound of the bow was like music. The arrows are blessed by the wind array, and they shoot out quickly with spiral energy, and through the blessing of the wind array, the range of the bow and arrow can be increased by half, and the lethality can also be greatly enhanced.

However, for the bows and arrows of Da Chu, the barbarian army has long had a bloody lesson, and the charge does not bring a shield, it is purely to send it to death. Even the rhino warriors with heavy armor on their bodies were covered with two layers of animal skins, and a rattan shield woven with thousand-year-old vines protected their bodies under the shield.

The same is true of the warriors of rhinoceros in heavy armor. The beast riders who followed closely behind were even more thorough, and even the mount buckets under their feet were put on a layer of armor, not that the barbarian army suddenly had money and was well-equipped, but that they had to do so, otherwise this arrow array alone would be enough to make their losses extremely painful.

With the shield on his head, he advanced quickly in the bow and arrow like raindrops, and finally these bloody lessons were not in vain, although there were still some unlucky eggs that were shot over, but most of them rushed to the front of the Chu military camp smoothly.

The trench that had only been cleared yesterday began to collapse in a tremor of the ground. These rhinoceros beasts are all earth-based, and this trench can hardly do anything to defend them, at most it can slow them down.

The body of the rhinoceros beast is short, like an off-road tank crossing a trench, and after a sharp bow, the horns of the rhinoceros are raised and rushed. The rejection horse behind the trench is completely ornamental in the face of this rhino beast, a flick of the head, the rejection of the horse is picked out, in exchange for the violent point, simply directly against the rejection of the horse continue to rush, until the rejection of the horse is broken up.

"Withdraw!" Seeing that the rhino beast rushed up, the heavy armored soldiers who were blocking the front line turned around and fled, and after the battalions that had already been told by Fan Tian learned of the intention to fight, there was no one to rush up to resist stupidly.

Their bravery is good, they can also sacrifice their lives for the sake of Da Chu, and in the face of this rhino beast, they will know that they are invincible, and they will move forward, but now, the upper authorities are ready to give up this camp, and they don't need to continue to fight here, after all, in the first two days, each of their battalion leaders has been seriously reduced.

Even in order to prevent people from disobeying orders, the commanders of each battalion even issued death orders, and went to the brigade to repeatedly convey the order, leaving at the touch of a button, and never fighting.

The collapse of the heavy armor defense line was almost instantaneous, but the warriors on the rhino beast heavy cavalry did not suspect that something was wrong, obviously after two days of offensive, the courage of the Chu army had been frightened, but they were just about to continue to charge, but they did not want to change suddenly.

The wind arrays that those archers were standing in before were under the manipulation of the array mages, and they were no longer auxiliary formations, but turned into wind traps.

The rhinoceros beast heavy rider who stepped on the wind array did not come back to his senses, the wind array was already a whirlwind roll, and the retreating Chu army directly threw some sword soldiers into the formation, and was swept by the whirlwind, and the cold light swept towards the rhinoceros beast heavy horse in the center of the wind whirlpool.

When, dang, when, a crisp impact came from the wind, roaring, the rhinoceros beast suddenly went berserk, its front hooves stomped down fiercely, and suddenly there was a crack under its feet, and with the crack of the earthquake, the talisman array was also destroyed, the whirlwind stopped, and those sword soldiers fell to the ground when they were long, and when they looked at the rhinoceros beast, they were blind in one eye, and there was a half-cut hilt on it, and as for the barbarian warrior on its back, they were lying on the side, only their bodies were left, and they had no heads.

With this wind trap, the barbarian attack was slowed down, and the heavy armor finally opened some distance, and quickly retreated from the positions of the other brigades, picking up and running, and they were easily surrounded by their lack of mobility.

The Chu army did not collapse all at once, after the heavy armor withdrew, it still relied on the perfect camp to slow down the offensive of the barbarians, and it seemed to be chaotic "escape", and the barbarian army was naturally devastating all the way, until noon on the day, the largest Chu army camp outside Hushan City was captured by the barbarian army, and Xu Da led the remnants to retreat.
