Chapter 155: The Dust Has Settled
There is no earth-shattering drum, no melodious horns, everything is silent, the night, is the best cover, the huge earth enclosure, like a sleeping beast, still fearful in the dark.
The porcupine department is a little-known small tribe in the Wolf Hair Tusi Department, and its status is just like the Black Forest Department in the Xilin Tusi Department, relying on the annual tribute in exchange for the peace of the tribe, and after a year, barely starving, but the tribe will not have much development, after all, there are no extra resources, and even more people can't be fed.
However, since the accession of Shaohao Tusi, the various tribes under the Wolf Tusi have undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is not free to serve as a soldier for the Tusi Department, but to obtain a lot of benefits, such as a large amount of food replenishment, such as some consumables that can only be exchanged for a small amount in the past, salt, pots, ironware, etc.
There is a surplus of food, life has improved, and the tribe can have more children, and these children will be the basis for the growth of their tribe, of course, these are not enough, for the tribe to develop, it must have a large enough tribal territory, and the little Tusi has promised that he can exchange merit for these.
However, in the past two years, despite the promise of a little toast, they have been reorganizing the army, the whole army, the whole army, and the warriors sent to the Tusi Department have been training, training, training, and retraining every day according to the orders of the little toast, if it weren't for the food and salary allocated on time every month, a large number of replaceable items, it is estimated that they would have been disheartened.
However, after two years of waiting. The little toast finally gathered the ministries. The war had been waged, and the promise made two years ago was still in effect, and their dormant hearts were beating again.
Moon Scar, the young patriarch of the porcupine tribe, is also the first warrior of the tribe, he has inherited the best bloodline of the tribe, and he is even more blue, if nothing else, in a few years, his father will pass on the position of patriarch to him.
The porcupine tribe is not strong. There were only 1,500 tents and a population of only 4,000, but this time, he joined the army with a thousand warriors from the tribe. For the future of the porcupine tribe.
Stepping on the long plank, jumping over the huge trench that has been dug out for ten days, Moon Scar led his thousands of people under the moonlight to move forward quickly, a distance of more than ten miles, for them, it was not a problem, in order to survive, they even chased the deer and the forest sheep in the lush jungle. A strong body is a blessing from nature and makes them natural warriors.
Moon Scar was not wearing a beast skin coat sewn by his own woman, but a brand new leather chain mail, the skin was made of high-grade animal skin, and a large number of patterns were carved on it, not all of which were decorative, and contained several rune arrays, which were very rare spirit armor, which could not only make the defense stronger, but also lighter. And the bow in his hand is also not ordinary.
If it weren't for the gift of a young adult, he might not be able to wear such a good armor in his life, and he would not be able to use such a good bow, even if it is enough to use it as a treasure handed down from generation to generation in the clan. But he already has a bigger pursuit, as long as there is enough merit. He was able to obtain the blade of the divine weapon like the holy weapon in the hands of a young adult.
Running, let the blood of the moon mark boil, occasionally at the foot will see a few unlucky Hushan Tusi army sentry posts, but they didn't even make a sound, they were cut throat, through the moonlight overhead, the moon mark finally saw the blurred shadow in the distance, the Hushan Tusi army.
There were 100,000 tigers and mountain barbarians there, and this would be the biggest war he would face, even if it was a big war that his father had not experienced when he was young, but he was not afraid, but faintly excited.
This will not be an extremely difficult battle, because everything is in the calculation of Lord Shaohao, he admires Lord Shaohao's foresight, he actually took place two years ago to plan this big war, and now the group of Hushan barbarians on the opposite side can't even eat, and just yesterday during the day, their largest batch of grain and grass has just been burned, that is, in a short period of time, the group of guys on the opposite side can't even eat.
What could be more exciting than this news, for them, if they don't eat a full meal, their strength will be reduced by three points, if they don't eat for a day or two, although they won't even be able to pick up a knife, but if they really fight, the odds of winning are not one or two points.
Killing is a work of strength, especially on the battlefield of more than 200,000 people, if you don't have the strength, you are looking for death, so these guys in front of you have no intention of fighting with them at all, as long as they pounce fiercely, the other party will soon collapse, and after that, it will be a massacre, and they will drive down for a long time, all the way to the foot of Hushan City.
Unlike them, who dug deep ditches, built extensive earth enclosures, and wantonly built defenses such as rejecting horses, the large camp of the Tusi army in Hushan was only a fence full of holes, just like the cages they kept wild beasts in captivity, and they couldn't stop anything at all.
Whoosh, three arrows suddenly flew into the air with a piercing scream behind him, popping, three explosions, and the arrows suddenly burst into dazzling fireworks.
"The warriors of the porcupine tribe, for the sake of the family, for the sake of the tribe, follow me in!" Moonmark took off the bow on his shoulder, the Thorn Spirit Bow, made of tenacious thorn vines, carved with reinforcement runes, swift runes, with a range of three hundred paces, with a speed like lightning, and the strength of the bow is moderate, for him, he can pull a hundred times in a row, and his arms will not be too sore.
Whoosh, the moon scar pulled out the bow in the run, directly a full moon, with a string movement humming, the sharp wolf tooth arrow flew out with a strong wind whistling, the cold light on the arrow flickered with a cold moonlight, straight into the chest of the sentry on a simple arrow tower, directly planted the arrow tower.
Whoosh, the running shooting mastered in jungle hunting, let him shoot three arrows in a row within a few steps, such a high-speed shooting, in the barbarian tribes that mainly hunt, only a few people can master, they can be said to be marksmen.
Moonmark led the warriors of the Porcupine tribe to run fast. Tens of meters away a few breaths have come closer. There was already an earth-shattering shout of killing in his ears, and all around him were warriors from various departments, and no one wanted to be the queen of others.
"Crescent moon, let the warriors keep up, don't be scattered by your own people, and you divide some people, pay attention to cutting your ears!"
"Young patriarch, rest assured, our heads will not be snatched by others!"
The wolf army that swarmed in like a tide caught the Hushan Tusi army by surprise, and it was close to the dawn when people were the most sleepy, and it was calm for so long. They have been digging trenches all the time, and the wolf army around the soil has also made them a little slack, not to mention that they have also sent a large number of scout posts outside, if the other party will really attack. It's sure to be detected in advance.
But the Hushan Tusi army forgot that they were not facing the wolf Tusi army they were familiar with, and dealing with it with old ideas, they were destined to suffer a big loss, and they were caught off guard This is nothing, the combat effectiveness of the Hushan barbarian army is still quite fierce, and the camp of 100,000 troops can be large, if it is organized in time, it can still fight a dozen.
But the problem is that the Hushan Tusi Army was only hit by the destruction of grain and grass yesterday. The people who made trouble were unstable, and at night they sent half of the food, and their stomachs were not full, and the night passed, and at this time in the morning, it was when the stomach was empty and the five visceral temples were listening.
One side was hungry and hadn't woken up yet, and the other side was full of food and drink and rested for more than an hour. Recuperate, the contact between the two armies, the judgment was made, and those Hushan soldiers who couldn't organize had not yet come to their senses, and they had been swept by groups of wolf toast troops.
The sword light beckoned down directly. The Tiger Mountain soldier didn't react, and his body had been slashed several times. And the various sophisticated weapons transported from Da Chu also made the balance of this battle more tilted, and the sharp knives could not bear the ordinary animal skin armor at all.
Moon Scar kept stretching his bow and pulling arrows, as long as the Hushan soldiers who appeared in his field of vision almost couldn't escape his snake-like arrows, the bowstring continued to tremble, and in a short time, a pot of fifty feather arrows had been shot out, and the lethality of the thorn bow at close range was quite good, especially the ability to pull the bow and open the arrow at a high frequency, which made the blood of Moon Scar's whole body boil and drip.
The footsteps do not stop, rush forward, or rush forward, the front is not as smooth as at the beginning, and gradually the Hushan soldiers began to counterattack, but these Hushan soldiers who are one hundred and ten people in a group, and more than a dozen people are in a group, although they are a little troublesome, but in the face of the tide of offsets, they are quickly annihilated like that splash.
"Young patriarch, the arrows are all used up, and we rushed too forward, there are less than three hundred warriors in the clan, and the others are scattered!"
Only then did Moon Scar look around, his line actually stood out at a distance of hundreds of meters, and the sound of fighting was all in the rear, and the bright light of the fire shone through, and he found that all the people around him were Hushan soldiers, and there were only less than 300 soldiers around him.
Night battles are never easy, for the defenders, it is a trouble, but for the attackers, it is also a problem, especially in such a large-scale battle, people can easily get lost, and trying to find the headquarters is almost the same as the probability of a blind cat touching a dead mouse.
Fortunately, by this time, the sky had begun to brighten.
"Defend on the spot, let's wait for the brothers in the back! "Moon Scar didn't rush recklessly, after all, they are also lacking in stamina now, there are too few people, and the arrows are exhausted, but the attack is insufficient, but it is more than enough to defend a round formation.
Knock knock, the earth-shattering drum sounded from the rear at this time, and the 30,000 troops of the Wolf Hao Tusi Headquarters that were not immediately invested before rose with the rising sun, and were thrown into the battlefield by Tan Daoji, these 30,000 people are a new force, and 30,000 people formed three arrows and pounced into the camp of the Hushan Army.
The addition of this army of soldiers and horses was like the last straw that crushed the Hushan Tusi army, under the organized strong attack, those chaotic tribes could not organize effective resistance at all, and the defense line that had just been established was like ice and snow in spring, quickly disintegrating.
The air cavalry flying in the sky overlooked the entire battlefield, constantly reporting the battle situation to the rear.
"This battle is decided, pass the order, put in the last two cavalry, bypass the front, and prepare to pursue the rout from both sides of the flank!" Tan Daoji put the last force in his hands into the battlefield, and this also means that this battle with a scale of 200,000 people has been settled, the victory and defeat have been decided, and the next thing is how to expand the results of the battle, and to start preparing for the next second wave of strong offensives.
