Chapter 573: Hand-to-hand combat

Four thousand sergeants, dressed in red leather armor, each holding a weapon, drove the panther, trotted out of the array, slowly dispersed, five groups, staggered and arranged with each other, only a moment, the formation was set, a crisp chirp sounded, eight hundred small soldiers jogged, like a shadow invading the jungle, spreading forward.

Since the development of the desolate world, the height of vegetation has been decreasing, and there are fewer and fewer huge beasts, the kind of giant beasts that are hundreds of thousands of feet have been difficult to find, and vegetarian animals one or two feet tall have become the mainstream, and correspondingly, the height of carnivorous beasts is also decreasing.

The black panther and the red-tailed wolf, which live in groups, are the famous hunters of the Shang Eastern Kingdom, captured and bred by the Terrans, and have become an excellent mount, flexible, fast, fierce, and extremely good at concealing.

However, the red-tailed wolf generally operates in the plains, while the black panther lives in the mountains and forests, and the two sides rarely interact, and even if they do, they are afraid of each other, and they will retreat after warning each other, and generally do not clash easily.

But at this moment, driven by the human race, these two small beasts are about to collide violently and fight.

Because of the size of the ordinary human race, the mount used is generally not too big, five or six feet is just right, and it is a little inconvenient to exceed one zhang, after all, an ordinary sergeant uses a long weapon, that is, two or three zhang long, if the mount is too large, the weapon is difficult to reach the enemy, which is a little ridiculous.

However, with the growth of cultivation, the killing distance of Terran weapons has been rapidly extended, and the requirements for the size of the mount have been relaxed, focusing on the speed, defense, offensive ability, intelligence and so on of the mount.

However, these are not what most of the sergeants on the battlefield can dream of, most of them are in the realm of qi training, flying swords can not reach far, nor can they be used for a long time, the most suitable and can accompany them to fight for a long time, or the long and short weapons in their hands, so everyone's mounts, the height is almost within one zhang.

In order to gain agility, both safari camps use small beasts that are five or six feet tall and a little long.

Although the sparse jungle is short, it is still enough for the red-tailed wolf and the black panther to hide their tracks, but at this moment, both sides have no intention of using the jungle, and the speed of travel is getting faster and faster, and soon they have crossed thousands of miles and began to accelerate.

The black panther safari camp is dressed in red leather armor, like a black shadow carrying a little red light when moving, the red-tailed wolf sergeant is in black armor, and the wolf body under the seat is black and brown, but the wolf tail is like blood, and it is also a gray and black shadow with a little red light, and from a distance, the two armies are extremely similar.

The two sides approached quickly, and when they reached a hundred miles, the sergeant of the Black Panther Safari Camp and the sergeant of the Red Tail Safari Battalion stood up together and shot the feathered arrows in their hands rapidly, and the twelve thousand feathered arrows on each side were like a black shadow, instantly covering the sky, and rushing towards each other like lightning.

Feathered arrows fell from the middle of the jungle, from the branches of the trees, and just where the safari camps of the two sides passed.

The Ranger Sergeant had already put away his bow and arrows, took out his weapons, and watched intently at the rapidly sinking arrows in the sky, which were so fast that they could not be seen, or change the speed of their mounts, or deviate from their path, to avoid the attacks of the arrows.

But all the sergeants did not dare to slow down, dozens of miles were coming in an instant, once the speed slowed down, they would enter the sight of multiple enemy soldiers, and the continuous attacks would be imminent, and one person would not be able to receive the continuous attacks of multiple small soldiers in any case.

Only by moving at high speed and constantly changing positions can you not be set on fire by the enemy and have a chance to survive in this battlefield.

Li Jing frowned slightly, and said: "The strength of the red-tailed wolf hunting camp is good, the Liu family in Anyang is really worthy of being a million-year-old family, and it is powerful to suppress Anyang, and the combat power of such an army is not worse than that of the field army." ”

Dozens of generals of the Li family all nodded, and the proud expressions on their faces converged a little.

Since the Li family is interested in Shangdongguo, they are naturally extremely concerned about the strength of Shangdongguo's strongest army.

Twenty-six field legions are in the hands of the Tang family, the lord of the country, and the hands of the six elder families, the Tang family directly controls the eight legions, and the six elder families each control three legions.

Therefore, the lord of the Shangdong Kingdom did not have an absolute advantage over the elders, and the seven major families checked and balanced each other, but they went their own way to maintain the rule of the Shangdong Kingdom.

Suning Prefecture and Jiqing Prefecture were in turmoil, and the entire state capital was out of the dog's brain, but the Shangdu government still did not come up with a positive response.

It is because this kind of quelling is extremely costly, and it will bring a certain amount of battle damage to the field army, no one wants to be the culprit of this injustice, the interests are not clearly divided, and the first thing each family cares about is to preserve the strength of their own family.

After all, the trend of turmoil in the world is becoming more and more obvious, and the more military strength your family retains, the more ability to survive in the future turmoil.

The Li family actively bribed the generals of the field corps and knew the strength of the Shangdongguo field corps very well, so these generals who had been trained for many years knew that the strength of their subordinate armies was no worse than that of the Guofu field corps, and gradually developed a sense of superiority over the armies of other state capitals, especially the local armies directly under the general army at all levels.

But at this moment, the real ground battle was together, and it was discovered that there is really no family that can survive for millions of years.

Although the Liu family in Anyang is powerful and prosperous in Anyang, it is also an inconspicuous existence in the entire Shangdong Kingdom, and in the first-class family, it is only an existence in the middle and lower reaches, but a partial division sent at this moment actually has the combat power of the main army of the Li family.

All the generals of the Li family have corrected their attitudes in an instant, the enemy is not weak, and they and their subordinate troops are not bad, but in order to achieve victory, they must be carefully prepared and cautious.

In the middle of the battlefield, the slight sound of running was instantly replaced by the rapid and terrible sound of weapons breaking through the air, and the trees fell with a bang, raising dust in the sky.

Countless black shadows swirled and scurried on the ground, halberds waved, hammers smashed, flying swords swept by, blades flowed with cold light, the dull sound of sledgehammers hammering flesh, the screams of soldiers before they died, and the terrible howls of wolves and leopards filled the entire battlefield.

All the ranger sergeants are moving at high speed, and those who are hit and hit the ground are almost impossible to jump on the back of their mounts, and as soon as they stand up with minor injuries and impatience, the flying swords of the enemies who pass at high speed cut over, and cautiously, carefully lie on the ground, and move to a low-lying place with their mounts, avoiding the attention of the enemy, and temporarily saving their lives with the help of the terrain.

The safari camp does not directly collide, and the mounts under them are all light beasts, and they have to be star-studded and broken in their feet.

They generally circle and tear around the enemy, tearing off a mouthful of flesh from the prey each time, constantly bleeding the prey, and waiting for the prey to exhaust before swarming up and dismembering the prey.

Sergeant Black Panther and Sergeant Red-tailed Wolf rushed to each other's side, not only to concentrate on defending against each other's attacks, but also to wait for an opportunity to find each other's flaws.

Two thousand miles in the center of the two armies, countless trees are flying, dust is high, the sergeants of the safari camp cover each other, impact, slash, you bite my tail, I pound his flank, eight thousand people scuffle together.

After circling and impacting each other several times, the direction of movement of the eight thousand hunting sergeants slowly converged, running wildly in the same direction, and the bodies of each Xiao Wu seemed to have enemies in front and back, left and right.

The eight safari camps on both sides slowly mixed together and began to fight each other in close combat.
