The fat man led the cavalry into the longwall defense line, the scene in front of him began to be barren, in order to resist the invasion of millions of Slavs, all the villages within fifty miles of the longwall defense line were relocated, and the whole area was expanded into a garrison camp, at most, 300,000 people were stationed behind this long wall, of which 150,000 were troops, and 150,000 were the families of the Fifth Army who were withdrawn from the western Slavic region

It's only been a few months, and the one in front of him is like experiencing a Nie Hai Sangtian, the cruel winter is frozen for thousands of miles, and it has been completely covered by a sea of flowers, when he saw the long wall of the world in the distance, the fat man stopped the war horse, the spring scene in front of him is like a flower picture, but it is not quite in line with this, the fat man has no mind to appreciate the spring in front of him, and he is wet with the rain in front of him.

In April, when the grass grows and the eagle flies, even in winter, it is like a spotless wilderness, but at this moment it also grows vigorous weeds, and the dotted wildflowers are like coming out with the raindrops, like a huge carpet spreading outside the city wall, the crisis in the southwest has just passed, and the arrival of the Dongting people makes the situation seem confused and impossible to judge,

Considering that although there is nothing to do in the southwest at present, but it still needs to be guarded by a general, the fat man did not order Salonn to go north with him, but ordered him and Lidarchus to jointly guard the southwest border, both of them are old men who have followed him since the Samar era, one is good at the army, the other is good at government, and the personal relationship in private is not bad, and it should be enough to make the southwest have no opportunity to take advantage of in a short time,

Seeing the cavalry of the central cavalry, the defenders of the Longwall immediately sent a group of cavalry to respond, although in order to fight Algernonkatya, the fat man risked the danger and transferred most of the troops from the Longwall, but the Longwall still maintained a standing garrison of 10,000 people. According to the five lines of defense possessed by the long wall, the fat man believed that for the Dongting people who were not good at attacking the city, it was impossible to cross the line of the long wall with no more than 100,000 troops.

But what the fat man is worried about is this, how many Dongting people are coming this time, there is no specific number yet, once the long wall is broken, the northwest will be a flat terrain, facing a large-scale cavalry raid. There will be no more terrain to stop

The interspersed ability of the Dongting cavalry has always been terrifying, and everywhere it passes, corpses are everywhere, and not a single inch of grass is left, which is a real scorched earth policy, and the northwest, which is already insufficient in strength and population, cannot afford to fight such a war.

On the third day after the fat man arrived at the northern wall, as expected, more Dongting troops appeared outside the long wall. This time, not only were all cavalry, but there was also a large queue of infantry, and the black pressure was overwhelming, at least more than 50,000 people. Almost covering the area in front of the city wall, a siege posture was placed along the long wall

The fat man stood on the long wall and also looked at the Dongting people lined up on the opposite side, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and the cavalry with light horses and bows. Not much different from the steppe cavalry of Ikadiva, to his surprise, the so-called Eastern Court infantry that appeared later. Not to mention the weak bodies, judging from the outfits, they are all Slavs, and they look very poorly treated.

Dressed in tatters like a strip of sackcloth, all of them have yellow faces and thin muscles, the queue is very scattered, most of the weapons in their hands are simple short-handled axes and simple wooden shields, and the ages are also of different sizes, it seems that as long as the men who can pick up arms, they have been driven here, although the number is large, but the combat power is obviously not strong,

The steppe cavalry, who rode on their horses, were at the back of these Slavic infantry queues like guards, with cold eyes and bright scimitars, and the number was about three thousand, and the soldiers were fierce, in sharp contrast to the infantry in front of them who resembled cannon fodder.

At this time, at the front end of these Dongting cavalry, there were two Dongting people and thousand cavalry commanders, who were also looking at the long wall in front of them, and their eyes looked very complicated.

'Father, this bastard has given us so many miscellaneous soldiers, and he is forcing us to fight!' said the young-looking Kugit Thousand Horsemen, holding his whip tightly

"Anyway, it's good if you didn't let us go and go directly!" 'Er Jixiao looked calm, stared at the city wall in front of him, sighed secretly, and said, "Zamu Hebi still has some scruples, this way, although he did not find the millions of Slavs who disappeared, but also captured more than 70,000 Slavic slaves, Zamu Hebi is now willing to take out half of it at once, not only for the sake of the face of Lord Zuo's goodwill, but also with the intention of trying this long wall."

'It's just 30,000 slaves, and it's too stingy to be a soldier!' the young man pursed contemptuously at the corners of his mouth.

'What do you know, the siege is like piling up snow, a wave of three stacks is the way, these 30,000 slaves are only used to shake the city wall, I believe, soon the wood will be combined for a long time to drive the remaining 40,000 old and weak slaves to go up, it is best to die all of them, so that the other party can have a cold-blooded and ruthless, and endless psychological burden, as long as the other party's heart is cracked, the army's heart is turbulent, and the army under the command of Zha Mu is the real time to move!'

'That old fox!' the young man snorted, 'The land behind the long wall must be full of wealth, and if you really want the Cang army to take the lead, I'm afraid that you won't even give us a cup of scraps.'

'Beat the drums!!' Mur Jixiao didn't want to say any more, and waved his hand,

'Knock knock!' A rousing drum beat sounded from behind the slave's cannon fodder, the slave's face suddenly turned pale, and tens of thousands of Slavic infantry with rudimentary weapons began to stir,

'Forward, backward and kill!'

Under the blood-stained scimitars of the Eastern Court cavalry, the slaves were like a tumbling dragon, and the black pressed human heads began to wriggle, like a flock of driven sheep, these Eastern Court slave soldiers were looking at the front of them with a hesitant and helpless gaze, looking at the front full of several trenches and strong city walls,

The two fathers and sons in the back don't care at all about driving slaves to attack the city, slaves are sacrificed, do they have to be raised like sheep, all the land is the pasture of the Dongting people, and the people above are naturally sheep that can be driven, driving the slave infantry as cannon fodder troops to attack the city, it has always been the habit of the Dongting people,

Although the strength of cannon fodder is weak, the combat effectiveness is extremely poor, and sometimes a disease or plague breaks out. The slave army can die once, but if there are a certain number of them, they can also destroy the city and the country

The Dongting people slaughtered the city and destroyed the country in the Central Bia region, killing countless people, and they have long been proficient in the tactics of this kind of slave cannon fodder, and the cavalry of the Dongting Empire always takes the initiative to avoid the main border defense force on the border.

Scattered cavalry was sent to attack the weakly defended surrounding towns, and then, like a small river, converged into a river and a half, until it piled up to hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder, and then began to advance towards the main city in the center.

The main force of the enemy army was finally forced to face the battle, looking at the hundreds of thousands of miserable compatriots in front of them, driven by the cavalry to move like an ant colony, the voice of crying father and mother went straight to the sky, and under the sharp scimitar of the Dongting cavalry, they had to advance step by step, even the elite army was helpless

If it is against the Dongting people themselves, they will definitely ruthlessly order the archery, even if their own people in front are killed, they will definitely not give the enemy behind a chance to take advantage of.

Because they know that as long as they hesitate, there will be a commotion in the military formation, or they will choose to retreat temporarily. Under the shaking of the formation, the main force of the Eastern Court cavalry following closely behind the cannon fodder will show its extremely sharp fangs like poisonous snakes, and the Eastern Court cavalry with flying hooves will slash behind the slave army. Hundreds of thousands of slaves, already terrified, would pour forward like a flood across the embankment, directly crushing the opposing military formation, and this method was tried in a thousand ways

'Your Majesty, do we need to attack?'

Sadins, the commander of the Seventh Banner of the Central Army, who was in charge of the Longwall defense line, asked the fat man for instructions. Sardins came from the Western Legion of the Empire, and in the counterattack on Paravon launched by Field Marshal Dorok Anto, he was specially recommended by Hukochili because of his bravery, and was promoted by the fat man from the head of the local flag to the flag commander of the seventh flag of the Central Army

'No hurry, wait!'

The fat man stared at the crowd of people who overflowed the outermost trench in the distance, and shook his head, there are huge catapults on the long wall defense line, and the range can go directly to the outermost fifth trench, in the previous arrangement, each trench must be filled with black oil, as long as the enemy enters it, the trenches will be ignited one by one with rockets,

If the other party wants to get close to the city wall, it is difficult to fill it with corpses, this is also the most terrifying place of the long wall defense line, the siege battle, first pay attention to fighting spirit, and then the military spirit, after a fire, even the 100,000 southwest army was blocked under the city of Rwanacre, which was similar to the defensive measures, for a full fourteen days, unable to move forward,

But now the situation is different, in order to support the besieged city of Rwanacre, the fat man has ordered all the black oil to be pumped and transported to Rwanacre, which also leaves a rather strict sequelae, the battle in the southwest has only ended for more than a month, and there is not enough black oil to fill it, except for part of the last two trenches, the other three outer trenches, and now it is only a dry ditch that is a little wider

The slaves crawled through the first outer trench with a hesitant expression, only to find that the opposite wall was calm, and the tens of thousands of defenders looked at them with a little hesitation

The slaves began to speed up, especially the slaves at the front, they were all ready to be cannon fodder, but they found that the other party hesitated, and did not run, waiting for the city to smash stones down

'Looks like we've made the right bet!' A sneer appeared at the corner of the mouth of the Mur Jixiao in front of the Eastern Court cavalry, these Slavs were left behind during the winter migration away from their homeland for hundreds of years,

Millions of Slavs are like a rolling torrent, and their mud and sand are all down, among which there are naturally many tribes who bless the luck, thinking that the Dongting people will not chase this side, and there are also those who quietly stop halfway, unwilling to continue to move forward, or stay where they are, the great migration of millions of people is a history of blood and tears,

On this migration route, at least more than 100,000 Slavs have not yet arrived, they fell on the road, and those who arrived were forced by the fat man to cross the land of the frozen snow-capped mountains, it is said that the death toll exceeded 50,000, and the Slavs fought so hard to sacrifice and lost one-tenth of the population, just to completely escape the pursuit from the Dongting people,

Sure enough, the climate has just warmed, and those Slavs who are still stranded in the wilderness and keep their luck are all wiped out by the tracked Dongting Cangjun, and the Dongting cavalry is the king of the wilderness tracking, and tens of thousands of cavalry are scattered along a long line of hundreds of miles, like a huge net layered on top of each other, big fish, small fish, small shrimp, as long as none of the stranded Slavs have been missed,

In the treatment of these captured Slavs, the Cangjun army used bloody control methods to divide the Slavs into groups according to a team of 100 people. As long as one person resists or escapes, all 100 people are killed, and so many times, more than 4,000 people are killed, and no one in the Slavs dares to run away.

More than 100,000 Slavs were driven by the 20,000 cavalry and obediently rolled towards the northwest of Obaro, not only because of the strength of the cavalry of the Eastern Court, but also because their wives and children were under the control of the people of the Eastern Court.

If they disobey the slightest, not only will the hundred people in their team be brutally executed, but also the families of the hundred people will not be spared, and the ruthlessness of the people of the Eastern Court is like a sharp knife, so that the Slavs also monitor each other, and dare not make any rash moves.

By the time they crossed the second outer trench, the Slavic slave army had already decided that the other side would not attack, and began to cheer up. It doesn't matter to them whether the other party is too merciful or not, they just know that when the drum beats stop, if they can't attack the long wall in front of them. Their situation will be very miserable,

The practice of the Dongting people driving slaves to attack the city has lasted for hundreds of years, and in terms of driving methods, they will never give the slaves a little luck. If they are not forced to die, how can slaves be willing to risk their lives to attack the city, so it is not only the soul-inspiring siege drum that is their drum.

And every ten minutes, the rain of arrows from the rear will also cover all the two rows of people dragged to the end, and most of the people who run slowly are weak and weak, and it is useless to keep them! In the eyes of the people of Dongting, it is better to kill a slave than to kill a sheep!

"Ready!" Er Jixiao raised his hand behind him with a cold face, and the three thousand Eastern Court cavalry in the rear took down the powerful compound bow behind them very tacitly, and took out a wolf's tooth barbed feather arrow from the quiver with a cold face, the bowstring was neatly opened, and the air paused for a moment for it,

The sharp tip of the arrow pointed at the sky, neatly raised forty-five degrees into the air,

'Shoot!'

The cold light was like a dot, and countless white lines slashed through the sky with a command, and the arrows went straight into the sky, and then quickly slid down, falling to the rear of the slave army in front of them with arcs

'Ah' the Slavic slave army turned over in a sudden rain of arrows, at least more than 2,000 slave troops were directly covered, countless dead and wounded, the wounded soldiers rolling on the ground let out a terrible howl, 3,000 arrows could not kill 2,000 people, but more than 500 people were killed, about 1,000 people were wounded, some Slavs who were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe, just got up and wanted to run up immediately,

But the Dongting cavalry obviously won't let them go, a team of Dongting cavalry patrolling back and forth in the back, facing these Slavs, like hunting a sheep one by one, the fourth trench in front is a line of life and death, life is born, but death, more than 2,000 people, only a few less than ten people ran through this killing

'Sure enough!'

The Dongting cavalry did not even let go of the wounded soldiers, and finally made the fat man no longer keep calm, the other party is not ordinary ruthless, it is estimated that Rui Tang Tingna will not be ruthless Cheng dù,

He knew that if he didn't show it, the tens of thousands of Slavs under the city who had been driven crazy would really desperately attack the city! This world has always been good and deceived by others

The fat man withdrew his gaze from below, and spit out two words with a slightly cold face, 'Ignition!'

He didn't let the city head attack, it was all to figure out the siege tactics of the Dongting people, now it seems that it is indeed ruthless and abnormal, even killing his own people, completely forcing tens of thousands of people to death, these Slavs dare not turn back and fight with the Dongting people, that is, they are desperate with themselves,

'Ignition!'

Sardins, who had received orders from the Falcon Majesty, shouted, and the rockets fired from the city wall ignited the trench closest to the inner side of the city wall, and the flames rose into the sky, and the Slavic slaves who were rushing forward were suddenly startled, and in front of them was a wall of fire that spread endlessly, and the waves were rolling, and those who stood too close sat on the ground in fright, and hurriedly crawled behind

'Fire, fire!'

The Slavic slaves under the city wall were all in chaos, they had never seen the black oil, the fire was too sudden, as if it suddenly came out of the ground, not to mention them, even the cavalry of the Eastern Court behind was frightened by the strange and frightened war horses in front of them, the people of the Eastern Court were not afraid of the earth, the most afraid of this kind of inexplicable ghosts and gods, at this moment, even the slaves did not pay attention, and the siege drums behind were stopped

'Father, what should I do?' Brother Jin looked at his father with an ugly face,

Even if all 30,000 slaves are thrown under the long wall, it is better to be taken down by the Zha Mu He and take down your father and son in a cowardly manner!"

'Yes, I understand!' Brother Jin's face turned cold again, slave, it doesn't matter how many deaths you have,

'Knock knock!'

The sound of siege drums that made the slaves scatter came again, and the raging wall of fire in front of them blocked the front, and behind them were the ruthless siege drums of the Dongting people, and tens of thousands of Slavs didn't know what to do at all.

Thinking that his relatives were still in the hands of the Dongting people, someone finally rushed into the wall of fire, and as a result, his whole body was on fire and fell backwards.

Rolling on the ground, the miserable screams did not stop until they were mended by their own people with an axe. (To be continued......)
