Chapter 90: The Battle of the Qingshui River (1)
In order to improve the overall strength of the soldiers under his command, Guo Dafu basically invested most of the points in his hands during this time, which was used to purchase various materials for refining pills.
Seeing the army marching, many people came to see off the soldiers, and some soldiers of the militia units looked at those comrades-in-arms with envy, because they knew that only when they really went to the battlefield could they obtain military merits faster and improve their ranks.
Otherwise, if you just stay in the rear to improve your qualifications, the promotion rate of this rank will be very slow.
In order to be able to join this field army in the next battle, those militiamen who are eager to make meritorious contributions have secretly decided in their hearts that they must seize the time to cultivate and raise their cultivation to the triple level of the day after tomorrow as soon as possible.
At this time, on the surface of the Qingshui River, several small boats in charge of reconnaissance were slowly approaching the shore, ready to repair and continue on the road.
However, before the soldiers who were operating the boat could bring the boat to the shore, seven or eight pythons of different colors suddenly emerged from the river not far away and quickly approached them.
These giant pythons obviously have the ability to control the flow of water, and under the combined force of seven or eight giant pythons, a huge wave more than ten meters high and hundreds of meters long suddenly slowly formed, and then slapped towards the boat controlled by those soldiers.
"Not good! Evacuate! Seeing this scene, the officer who took the lead decisively prepared to abandon the boat and flee for his life.
But just as they were about to give up the boat and jump onto the shore, the huge wave suddenly stopped, and then Xiaoqing's figure appeared in mid-air.
Seeing Xiao Qing, those giant pythons all showed fear in their eyes, after all, Xiao Qing was originally a blue-scaled python, and now he has been promoted to a dragon, and the aura exuded from his body makes these giant pythons feel like they want to surrender involuntarily.
Xiao Qing looked at these giant pythons and immediately used his divine thoughts to communicate with these fellow clansmen.
However, this communication does not seem to be very smooth, although these giant pythons don't want to fight with Xiaoqing for the sake of Xiaoqing is the sister of the Spirit Snake King, but they don't want to surrender to the other party.
Xiao Qing was furious, and decided to show these people his current strength, only to see that as he raised his hand to grab the wave, the huge wave was quickly adsorbed and compressed and condensed into a thin line of water.
With a flick of his right hand, the slender line of water, like a long whip, was remotely controlled and struck away towards the woods on the shore.
There was only a loud rumbling sound, and those thick trees with a diameter of at least one meter or so were easily cut off by this seemingly small waterline, and finally the waterline left a deep scratch on the ground that spread hundreds of meters.
When those giant pythons saw this scene, they finally believed that Xiaoqing had inherited the cultivation of the Spirit Snake King, but their families and children were all controlled by the Greedy Wolf King, so they didn't dare to surrender directly to Xiaoqing now.
Finally, after some discussion with Xiaoqing, these pythons decided not to contribute to this battle, dragging it first, and waiting until their families were rescued, and then surrendered to Xiaoqing.
Speaking of which, these giant pythons are also quite unlucky, because the greedy wolf king is extremely brutal, so when it first rose up to seize power, many python beasts fled to the black python king, and these giant pythons are those who are located in the hinterland of the greedy wolf king's territory, and they did not have time to escape unlucky eggs.
In order to prevent these giant python beasts in his territory from continuing to escape, the greedy wolf king directly killed the most powerful giant python beasts, and then arrested the children of other giant python beasts who were not yet adults and did not have much resistance power, and guarded them by the wolf soldiers under his command, forcing them to serve them.
There are also those snake people who have obtained the bloodline of the Spirit Snake King, in fact, the situation is similar, and the families of those officers are basically controlled by the Greedy Wolf King.
This is also the reason why the black wolf warlord is so relieved to let these two troops take the lead, after all, the family is controlled, if these guys dare to betray, then their whole family will die with them.
Subsequently, Xiaoqing had a 'big battle' with those giant pythons and snake people, and in order to do enough tricks, many of the more powerful second-order pythons and snake people also deliberately let themselves suffer a lot of injuries, and then led the army to 'rout' back, so as to deal with the black wolf general.
The black wolf general didn't know if his brain was not very bright, so he didn't see any flaws, so he let these defeated soldiers repair in the rear first, and he himself led the silver-backed blue wolf and werewolf clans under his command to find the field.
Three days later, the armies of the two sides met on both sides of the Qingshui River, Guo Dafu looked at the wise eyes of the black wolf general on the opposite bank of the river, and thought to himself, isn't this really a two?
Under the command of the black wolf general, there were more than 50,000 troops, of which 50,000 were the silver-backed wolf beasts, and 5,000 were the werewolf warriors. From the ratio of this silver-backed blue wolf to the family, it can be seen that the blue wolf king is indeed a fierce beast king who is more brutal and does not treat foreign races very well, otherwise there is no reason why the number of dependents under his command will be so small.
And the equipment of those werewolf clans doesn't look very good, most of them only have extremely rudimentary leather armor on their bodies, and there are actually a lot of broken things in their hands such as bone spears and stone axes.
In addition, the silverback wolves are not very well equipped, only some leaders with obvious high status, and some armor made of fierce beast bones and scales on the head and chest and other vital parts, and most of the other wolf soldiers have no armor at all.
This may also be related to the fact that the silverback blue wolf is a speed-type beast, after all, since it is a speed-type beast, then it must be to give full play to its speed advantage as much as possible, maybe the armor or something in the eyes of the greedy wolf king, it will just slow down the burden of the sensitivity of the warriors under his command, so he will not pay much attention to this aspect.
While Guo Dafu was observing the other party, the black wolf general obviously also noticed Guo Dafu, and while urging the werewolf warriors under his command to speed up the construction of a pontoon bridge for crossing the river, he called several masters under his command whose strength was above the innate fivefold, preparing to directly surround and kill Guo Dafu, the enemy general. After all, although its brain is not very good, it still understands the simple truth of capturing the thief and capturing the king first.
And Guo Dafu actually watched the other party build a pontoon bridge on the other side, and had no intention of sending troops to stop it.
Soon, the three rudimentary pontoon bridges were built, and those werewolf warriors, as the vanguard, stepped on the pontoon bridges one by one and rushed towards the opposite bank.
Guo Dafu still stood still at this time, which made the black wolf general feel very puzzled.
More than half an hour later, 5,000 werewolf warriors and more than 20,000 silver-backed blue wolves had already crossed the pontoon bridge, and even had gained a firm foothold on the opposite bank, formed a formation, and began to tentatively approach the enemy army not far away.
It was at this time that Guo Dafu notified Xiaoqing and asked the other party to control the water flow and collapse the other party's pontoon bridge.
And the black wolf general, at this time, couldn't wait to rush to the other side with several masters under his command, ready to besiege Guo Dafu.
As a result, as soon as they rushed over, a huge wave suddenly rushed from the upstream direction, completely breaking up the pontoon bridge that those werewolf warriors had built with great difficulty. Many silver-backed wolves who were marching on the pontoon bridge were suddenly washed away with the current.
The black wolf was furious and wanted to tear Guo Dafu not far away, but he also knew that the enemy was definitely a master who was secretly helping, and his strength was likely to be stronger than him.
Xiao Qing didn't let the black wolf warrior wait for a long time, and after breaking the pontoon bridge, he immediately controlled the drop of Xuanyin heavy water, like a bullet, and smashed it in front of the black wolf warrior's head with a whoosh, and the huge power easily pierced his skull, and even lifted his entire skull and half of his brain away.
The brain-opening black wolf warrior staggered down from the air, and his body twitched for a while before quickly losing his life.
Several other second-order silver-backed blue wolves behind it immediately turned around and ran away when they saw this, but unfortunately they couldn't run away from Xiaoqing's Five Finger Mountain at all, and the drop of Xuanyin heavy water followed closely after a few silver-backed blue wolves, like a hole through tofu, easily penetrating their heads, making these second-order silver-backed blue wolves simply follow in the footsteps of the black wolf generals.
At this time, Guo Dafu was already commanding a large number of infantry to press up from the front facing the nearly 30,000 enemy troops who had crossed the river.
Some silver-backed wolves wanted to attack the tight military formation on the opposite side, but before they could make contact with the spear and shield soldiers at the front of the large array, they were directly shot into hedgehogs by round after round of arrow rain.
Because the black wolf warlord will be killed, the silverback blue wolf and werewolf warriors do not have a unified command for a while, some want to continue the attack, and some want to retreat to the other side first, and then join up with other friendly forces before thinking about the long term.
As a result, before the fight really started, I began to mess up internally.
Guo Dafu saw the right time and decisively sent chariots and cavalry troops to attack the opponent's flanks, while he led the infantry to continue to press the enemy from the front. Among them, those earth storm bears, Guo Dafu also sent them out, let them act as hoplites, at the front of the large array, responsible for dealing with those hard stubbles in the enemy army.
Facing these giant bears wearing heavy armor and wielding long metal claw blades, even those second-order silver-backed blue wolves and werewolf clans felt quite tricky, not to mention that these giant bears had also undergone special training from Gongsun Lie, and knew that they would cooperate with each other and perform some crude martial arts moves.
As the so-called giant beast knows martial arts, no one can stop it! Guo Dafu saw with his own eyes that a silver-backed blue wolf with about two innate strengths, under the combined attack of six earth storm bears, could not even hold on for three rounds, and was caught to death by the steel claws of the giant bears.
