Chapter Eighty-Nine: Duel
The advance of the Longxiang army was very orderly, the arrows and crossbows were suppressed, the shield pawns rushed forward, and the shield pawns were followed by the longitudinal Changge soldiers, slowly suppressing the not too steep hillside, resisting the falling rocks and flying trees above, and at the same time, the overall suppression went up.
There is no sneak attack, sudden advance, no trickery and conspiracy, just like this, the straight end of the flat push, relying on the strength of the crushing, the entire Great Zhou Sixteen Army is also unique Long Xiang, Pan Snake has this strength, dare to face the demon clan.
The process of climbing the mountain was extremely smooth, this time there were not too many falling rocks flying down, only when approaching the top, a piece of black pressed rolling wood flew in the air, with the shouting of the hundred schools, the soldiers behind raised the shield above their heads one by one, their arms were interlocked, and they formed a huge cover, accompanied by a violent impact sound, under the force of the people, all the rolling logs were shaken open, and the whole mountain returned to calm.
When the soldiers of the two battalions completely reached the top, the vision of the Long Xiang army immediately broadened, and on the top of another hillside hundreds of zhang away, the few remaining little demons were struggling to escape, trying to escape over the mountain, and just where they did not want to, the two figures were fleeing rapidly, and they were quickly converging towards the distance along the gap in the forest.
Some of the scattered demons have dispersed and fled in all directions.
The brigade captain's hand lifted slightly, and immediately countless arrows flew towards the figure, several of which shot straight at the backs of the two demons, the only pity was that the distance was too far, and the little demon after the arrow just stumbled to the ground, rolled around, and continued to escape.
On the top of a hillside on the side, a figure was approaching the rear of the Long Xiang army, this person slowly stood upright, and saw the scene of Fang Cai, and also saw the corpses of the little demons slaughtered all over the ground, he frowned slightly, the number of human races is still more, although he has the strength to face several, even dozens of soldiers, but with such thousands of Great Zhou soldiers, he still does not dare to move.
If you want to kill someone, you can only sneak attack.
The man squinted his eyes and looked at the bottom of the mountain, where the division general had not yet moved, and there were still two thousand soldiers beside him, but seeing the movements of those brigade commanders, they were moving troops, so he lowered his body again, and began to slowly approach to the side, and when he ran, he used his hand to lift his frighteningly large giant sword off the ground without making a sound.
Soon, another thousand soldiers began to move, rushing up the hill from all directions, chasing towards the location of the demon clan, plus the army that first boarded, at this moment the army of the human race has moved nearly three thousand people, but there are still a thousand people around the general, three thousand against eight hundred scarred little demons, and the Long Xiang army still has this confidence.
In the fierce battle in the first two days, the human race suffered nearly a thousand casualties, but this group of demon clans also died seven hundred, and the gap between the two sides was not big.
On the north side of a gentle slope, Shi Niu threw his body into a shallow cave like a broken bag, Xiong Shan almost rushed in close to him, and then immediately threw himself forward, and Shi Niu in front hurriedly grabbed a rock and struggled to turn around, which barely avoided the tragedy of being pressed down by Xiong Shan's huge body.
The two demons both fell to the ground, panting desperately.
The arrows outside the cave roared away, but the pursuers were still some distance away, they had already crossed the second hillside, and the Terrans chose to use long-range strikes to eliminate some of the little demons first, so they could only hide themselves in the cave, survive this section, and then continue to escape.
Xiong Shan touched his body, grabbed a piece of minced meat stuck to his shoulder from there, threw it into his mouth to chew, swallowed, grinned, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied: "Phew!
Shi Niu put the long sword on the ground, reached out and pulled out a short knife from his waist, licked it in his mouth, and beckoned to Xiongshan: "Come here." ”
Xiong Shan put the spear still on the ground, stood in front of Shi Niu, and bared his teeth and said, "You can get it lightly!"
"Less nonsense!" Shi Niu said, while brutally pulling Xiong Shan's body backwards, his hand raised the knife, and roughly slashed an arrow from his back, and a stream of blood immediately snorted out.
Although Xiong Shan had been prepared, he still opened his mouth wide in pain and gasped a few times, and then said, "Thief Niu, you really did it...... It's ruthless...... Hey, wait, wait, wait...... Ouch ......"
Shi Niu is like not hearing Xiong Shan's call, the knife is flying, one by one the arrows are cut out stiffly and roughly, each knife has cut out a hole the size of a bull's eye, more than an inch, looking at the blood flow is very terrifying, but look closely, but you can find that these are flesh wounds, because of the distance, the crossbow bolts did not shoot into Xiong Shan's body, they all stayed in the flesh, according to Xiong Shan's physique, it was only a matter of two or three people.
Then, he took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and sprinkled the powder on Xiongshan's wound, a little more, and the bleeding suddenly stopped, and the pain of the wound was much lessened.
"It's your turn!"
Xiong Shan was still humming and chirping, Shi Niu's movements had stopped, he stuffed the broken wall in his hand into Xiong Shan's hand, and then turned around, revealing the three arrows on his back, "Look at the point, do it." ”
Xiong Shan hesitated, he reached out and gently grabbed the arrow, with a little force, it seemed that he was ready to pull it out directly, so frightened that Shi Niu suddenly screamed, and shouted: "Straight Niang Xiong, what are you doing?"
"I ...... Help you pull out the arrows......"
"The Zhou arrowhead has barbs, and it can't be pulled out, so it can only be gouged out!" Shi Niu desperately twisted his neck back, kicked a pair of bull's eyes, and said viciously: "Pierce it from the side and tear out the whole piece of meat, otherwise the wound will crack open, and it will be difficult to treat." ”
"Oh oh......" Xiong Shan trembled his hands, according to what Shi Niu said, cut it from the skin and flesh next to it, and then began to dig the arrow, I don't know if the arrow is too deep or the craftsmanship is rough, it made a half-sound, so it was finally cut out of the arrow, but the wound was the size of a tea cup, and the blood flowed almost like a stream.
"Following ...... Continue to ......" Shi Niu was sweating in pain, but he still endured it and let Xiong Shan pull out the other arrows.
After another moment, Xiong Shan finally pulled out the remaining two arrowheads, Shi Niu was almost fainting from pain, he trembled and handed over the porcelain vase, and said, "Sprinkle it on ...... Wound ......"
The hemostatic powder was sprinkled, and the pain was finally alleviated, and Shi Niu finally got up, his face and forehead were covered with sweat, and all the thick hairs were stuck on his face, dusty, dirty, and embarrassed.
The porcelain bottle was retrieved, and there was not much hemostatic powder left inside, Shi Niu looked at it and stuffed it back into his arms.
"How did you come to be?" After the wound was treated, Xiong Shan's curiosity rose.
"Given by the king when he left," Shi Niu said, pulling his sword from the ground, and trying to shake his arm, "I am fortunate to have this thing, otherwise I will bleed too much after drawing the arrow, and it will be difficult to escape." ”
Speaking of the king, Xiong Shan and Shi Niu's eyes flashed with a look, and then both of them dimmed, they had been separated from the six ugly for dozens of days, and suddenly encountered the human race, suffered a big loss, were trapped on the mountain for several days, and fought for three days, and the little demon had already gone halfway, so they had to make this decision.
They are not running away, according to Shi Niu, the bow and arrow of the human race is very powerful, plus the shield array is mixed, the defense is not able to hold, the only way is to pretend to escape, over another mountain, the Zhou people are attracted to the pawn, and suddenly launch an attack, when the two sides are in a scuffle, the human bow and arrow, the big shield can not play a role, in order to kill the human race on his back and survive.
As for the escape...... Not only Shi Niu and Xiong Shan are clear, but even the other little demons know very well in their hearts that in such a vast wilderness, scattering and escaping is only a living target for human beings, and the only end is death, and there is no other way to defeat the human race.
Now, almost all the little demons are hiding on this slope that has just crossed the mountain, in the countless caves and crypts dug in advance, just waiting for the army of the human race to approach, except for the little demons who are used as bait and flee in all directions according to Shi Niu's instructions, the number of little demons gathered here is now nearly seven hundred, and it is already full ......
The rain of arrows at the entrance of the cave finally stopped, and as the footsteps approached, the Terran soldiers began to slowly march towards the top of the mountain, I don't know if it was because they had believed in the rout of the little demon and fled, or just because of the superiority in numbers, the army of the Terran did not form a shield formation this time, but divided into a small formation of three people to move forward, the speed was very fast, for fear that the little demon would flee and scatter, and it would be difficult to pursue.
A group of three climbed to the top of the hillside, looked left and right, and before he could see his surroundings clearly, a figure suddenly appeared a few feet away, rushing into them at an extraordinary speed.
Just rushed, and immediately knocked one of the soldiers out of the air, waving with the afterimage in his hand, and the other soldier had just lifted Chang Ge up, when he heard a clicking sound, Ge Jian flew out, and at the same time, his vision was also quickly flipping and rolling, flying into the air!
The third shield pawn was already frightened, he hurriedly stepped back, raised the shield, but saw that the black shadow had already rushed towards the robe a few feet away, behind him, a head swirled down from mid-air, and rolled down the hill with a grunt, and a headless corpse slowly fell, spurting blood from the neck cavity.
The shield of the shield pawn was raised, but at the same time, there was a sudden chill behind his back, followed by a huge force to provoke him into the air, and threw him into the distance, and when he flew into the air, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and subconsciously lowered his head, and what he saw was a huge hole in his chest, which had begun to blood.
Countless little demons appeared from their hiding places, and under the leadership of Shi Niu and Xiong Shan, they began to rush into the army of the Zhou people, and the two sides instantly began to fight, this is the first thousand soldiers who rushed into the formation, after giving up the bow and crossbow suppression and shield array, even if they have formed a small formation, but it is not of much use in front of the demon clan, and the little demons quickly gained the upper hand and began to kill on a large scale.
Shi Niu almost crashed directly into Long Xiang's army.
At the same time as he waved his long sword, the black demonic energy began to diffuse, the wind and sand suddenly rose, and the demon wind swirled and rolled up the dirt and fallen leaves and withered grass on the ground, and threw it to the human race, and his long sword was frantically chopping in this wind, countless soldiers died under his sword, many soldiers after the sword flashed, only to find that half of their faces or half of their arms began to slide down, they threw down their weapons in horror, and covered the half of their faces with both hands, but the blood couldn't stop rushing out, and soon overturned.
The whirlwind of Shi Niu's natal demonism, and Xiong Shan's natal demon art is giant, at this moment, Xiong Shan's height has more than doubled, and the spear is no longer available, so he directly pulled up a big tree from the ground, and when he started to sweep it, it was a large area, and he quickly cleaned up the surrounding human race.
In such a situation, the little demons have resorted to their natal demon techniques, and for a while, there are countless winds, stones, and flying sand, and black smoke is billowing out, and more than half of the nearly 1,000 Terrans who rushed to the front quickly died, but the remaining Terrans fought and retreated under the command of the brigade captain, and on the other mountain, there were traces of other Terrans again.
Another 2,000 soldiers are coming!
