Chapter 926: Three Wars (I)

The sun was setting on the horizon on the right, and the sun was blood-colored on the earth, and thousands of armies stood with their backs to the savage peaks, facing south.

Because the fields opened up by the savages are all in this direction, there are no crops in winter, and a snow-capped open space is the most suitable for setting up camp and the most suitable for the enemy's formation.

There were more than 10,000 soldiers all over the mountains, the front, the left flank, and the right flank were all enemies, and the number of city-state troops put into the battlefield alone was three times, and there were 3,000 people in the reserve of the Chinese army.

Looking down from the watchtower of the camp, there are pieces of archers on both sides of the enemy and us, and each phalanx has a team of 100 people, just like a piece of dried tofu, squeezed densely, and there is only a small piece from a high place.

The difference is that Ye Qingfang is mainly made of iron armor, while the city-state army is mainly made of fur leather armor, and the banner of the Han army is a red background inlaid with a green dragon flag, and the city-state is a red flag depicting three white feathers.

"Shoot!" a ten-man archer took out a ringing arrow, bent the bow and shot it, making a loud whistling sound in the air, this is not a killing, it is a provocation!

In the face of the Han army's long-range provocation, the city lord in the city-state army took a look, his person was strong, his tiger eyes flashed, and there was a long scar on his face, and then he sneered and carefully observed this alien army.

In a dense defensive formation, the regular strength is only three or four thousand, only a quarter of the army, and even if the scattered auxiliary troops are added, the total strength is only five thousand, less than half of the army!

"More than twice as much, you can defeat!" General Motohiko said excitedly, this is the experience of the war with the alliance of alien city-states in the past, the enemy's divine guards are always much more than their own divine guards, and the samurai are well equipped, but the cultivation is all two or three layers of divine power, and it can be completely crushed by numbers.

Several priestesses of the sixth layer of divine power, or equivalent to the Yin God, were a little hesitant, they were women, and their personalities were conservative, so they couldn't help asking, "Why don't you wait for the two teams in the other city behind?"

"The road is too far, and the most that can come is only the elite of the Divine Guard, and the increase in military strength will not increase. A nobleman said that although he himself was not a powerful warrior of the divine lineage, there was a priestess who followed him, who was his daughter, which meant that their family had the right to speak.

This was echoed by many nobles, who nodded their heads: "Yes...... We can increase our troops, and the enemy can increase our troops, and it is difficult to seize the opportunity as we do today......"

"The remnants of the Luo Barbarian Department can't give up, and they have already reconnoitred that only six or seven hundred people have died, and there are more than a thousand left, many young women...... Just to be a slave. ”

"No enemy who has set foot on our Pengyu territory has never left alive!"

Listening to the nobles' chatter and cries for war, the priestesses exchanged ideas with each other, and one of them said, "If the oracle has let us come, it will prophesy our victory......

"Yes, yes...... Let's go up, city lord!"

Because of the defeat and loss of the Aoki city-state last time, the city lord was much more cautious in using troops this time, but the Aoki city-state was an old opponent, and the one-to-one force was equal, so it could barely resist.

The defeat was only the defeat of the entire coalition front, and the manpower was irretrievable......

It's not that the Pengyu Department is too weak, it's that some city-states are too incompetent!

At this time, thinking back to the victory of more than twice as many as the alliance with the alien city-states in the past, the city lord must have been inspired by the blood of the war, and he felt that the Aragami must be sheltering this war in the dark, and waved his hand to order: "Go into battle!"

"Kill, kill—" all the samurai shouted.

"Bless the gods!" the priestess prayed, and it seemed that Aragami couldn't wait, and as soon as she prayed, she immediately responded, and the blood-red light suddenly fell on the soldiers.

All the samurai immediately had red eyes, a murderous aura rushing out, and an urge to devour blood!

"Rush!" Suddenly the first batch of warriors rushed forward, this team mainly leather armor, carrying rectangular shields, Chen Hou was heavy, and the wall pressed up.

"There's already some rules. Ye Qing looked down and said coldly, his cheek muscles twitched twice, and murderous aura flashed in his eyes.

There were many people in each phalanx of the alien race who raised their round shields to resist the arrows, looking like turtle shells, running extremely fast, and the meteorite impact.

The Han army was mainly in iron armor, camped against the mountains, and chose the terrain to be slightly higher, which could not only weaken the damage of arrows and the enemy's charging body, but also facilitate the transition from defense to counterattack - provided that it could be defended.

In order to make up for the disadvantage of the troops, Gao Shun worked hard to renovate and expand the wall, winding into a large arc to block the path to the savage cave.

Behind the wall of the façade were ten phalanxes of spearmen, a thousand men, and five phalanxes of spearmen on each side, five hundred men on each side, on the left and right sides.

Fifteen hundred of them were elite archers, and they were responsible for long-range suppression with firebow arrows.

The sorcerer group led by Ji Qing and five real people was responsible for medium-range suppression.

The Thunder Brigade was to deal with the enemy's possible long-range heavy firepower - which was now ready.

Lu Xun's cavalry of thirty people, and the southern army's personal guard cavalry of one hundred people, their actual ownership is Qianqian, and they are not used to deal with savages, and now they join the reserves.

The hunters' team served as auxiliaries, following the cavalry at any time ready to throw a gap or take advantage of the victory in pursuit.

In the end, Ye Qing and Qianqian, Liniang, and Bingmei, three real killers, acted at the opportunity......

The whole set of plans is extremely familiar, and the rich battlefield experience allows the Han army to know their posts.

"Is the thing buried?" Ye Qing asked Lu Xun.

Lu Xun nodded and said: "All of them are buried in the front line, there is a wall to block the view, the enemy will definitely not expect us to be in this position......"

"What about the second line of preparation?"

Qianqian listened with a smile, and whispered a few words to Cai Wenji who came out of the savage cave, asking her to go back to guard the captives, and retracted her gaze to look at the wall, the so-called first line and the second line are actually divided into two layers.

Time is in a hurry, the inner wall is not complete, and it is necessary to rely on the army to focus on the layout of defense.

In front of the spearmen phalanx in the outer circle at this time, there is a row of low defensive walls, which are two miles long from east to west, and the semi-enclosing structure of this circle of walled walls protects the Savage Mountain, which is the main defense.

The dense log fence was inserted straight into the soil, only chest-high because of the short time, and a ditch was dug in front, which was very shallow and narrow, and could be crossed with a jump, which was prepared for the enemy, and the dense gun forest was held on the wall and waited to poke down.

After crossing the ditch, there was no place to stand in the corner of the wall, so he could only plop down.

The bottom of the pit makes the wall appear much higher, probably the top position is a little higher, at least the people who fall into the ditch are out of reach, the line of sight is greatly obstructed, it is difficult to effectively attack the Han army, and the Han army spearmen are condescending behind the wall, poking one accurately.

The city-state army is not stupid, not savages, only knows a brute brave rush, and as soon as their front team rushes to the ditch, it slows down, and it seems that the tide is slowing down a little bit on the beach.

Fifty paces apart, they stopped, and the archers fired.

At the same time, as soon as the shield in the front battle was raised, many auxiliaries carrying dirt bags were drilled out, and the earth bags were thrown into the ditch with arrows. ”

"Yes, the minister. Lu Xun flashed a smile, responded, and then gave an order.

"Shoot!!" a hoarse command came from above, followed by a sharp whistle, and a rain of arrows rushed into the crowd below, and in an instant there was a blood sparkle.

Ye Qing looked at it, because he didn't have armor on his body, he couldn't carry the arrows through, and many of them couldn't stop when they were hit by the arrows, and even people crashed into the ditch with their bags.

Ye Qing noticed that these unarmored soldiers had runes tattooed on their cheeks, and they all looked like they were not afraid of death, so he frowned: "Dead soldiers?"

"It's a slave auxiliary. ”

Li Niang explained: "There are a hundred people in each thousand-person team, controlled by the Aragami Rune, who specialize in dirty work on weekdays, and are sent to death when they go to the battlefield. ”

"It's a bit of a Middle-earth Outer Terracotta Warriors, but in fact, it's not as good, I still have feelings and fears, and if I kill too much, I will collapse and flee. ”

As she spoke, several more rounds of arrows rained down on these people, crying, screaming, and sighing of crossbow arrows.

In this terrible situation, the auxiliaries could not suppress their fear, dropped the earthen bags, and cried to flee back.

"Kill!" The supervision team behind them instantly formed a three-row formation and slashed at the auxiliaries, instantly cutting over a piece, forcing the auxiliaries to continue to go back to fill the pit.

The auxiliaries had to brave the rain of arrows to continue, so that the Han army shot mercilessly, many slaves fell directly into the ditch with arrows, and the corpses, and even the wounded and alive, filled the ravine with the soil.

If the Han military magicians would choose to directly cast spells to change the terrain, take a break and recover their mana and fight again, but the priest's magic is to specialize in killing, and what they want is simple and rude.

This wilderness provides abundant food in spring, summer, and autumn, and the aliens and savages reproduce very quickly, which may not be as good as a rabbit's nest, but it can also grow a litter in thirteen or fourteen years.

There is never a shortage of slaves. The city-state alliance has been at war with the East China Sea Youth League for a hundred years, and it is generally retreating step by step, but it has always had several times the advantage in human resources.

To put it simply, there are many cannon fodder, and death rises.

Ye Qing went down to the Han Dynasty to enjoy the demographic dividend, and the population resources on the ground have never been so generous, seeing batches of slaves being driven up to die, they couldn't help but envy: "It's really rich, capricious." ”

“...... Uncle Shi was very worried before, because of our demographic disadvantage, we can win but can't lose, an unexpected defeat can bury the fruits of ten years of victory, and the enemy loses every year and retreats, but every year we can fight again...... Thanks to the dispersion within the alliance of city-states, if a strong force rises......"

Li Niang bit her lip, feeling that the battlefield was a bit unsuccessful in saying this, so she didn't say it, and Ye Qing smiled, not worried, if this is the case, it will be the great expedition of the Middle-earth Dynasty to wipe out these heretics.

This is the will of the entire world order.

If it is the world of the Aragami, even if it is competing with each other, but it is relatively mature, there should be a so-called pantheon to communicate.

The monotheistic religion that wants to eat alone, or a completely different heresy, realistically speaking, it is very difficult to survive the encirclement and suppression.

In this short period of time, the slave auxiliaries filled in the ravine at the cost of their lives, and even filled in the inclined soil slope in front of the four or five sections of the wall, and the Han army's arrow rain was ruthless and accurate, and only a few dozen of the 1,200 slaves survived in total.

And the regular army of the city-state suffered very few losses, and at this time a shout, in the last fifty steps, began to charge.

"Kill—"

"Shoot!"

"Rush—"

"Spear formation, thorn!"

Both sides were shouting, and the snow-white open space between the two armies was constantly shortening, and finally there was a "boom" and a collision.

Four or five torrents of ash rushed up the dirt slope, hanging meat skewers in the Han army's gun forest, and there were also magic techniques that forcibly broke through the wall, and the rain of knives, shields, guns, and arrows were densely squeezed against the enemy......

As the sun sets, these weapons glow with a cold light, splashing out patches of blood.
