Chapter 922: The First Battle (I)
Early in the morning of the third day
It was a hillside, full of trees, and it used to be a small village, with two or three hundred households, but now it has been expropriated.
At this time, a large camp has been set up, a large camp tent, a color of red inlaid with green dragon flag, the Han army camping rules are very heavy, the wooden fence, the patrol, the camp tent have boundaries, the law is strict.
Groups of Han soldiers went in and out of the battalion, and there were auxiliary soldiers who carried water to make food and feed the horses.
As for the "hunters" are messy and unruly, Ye Qing secretly remembered the expression of these people, and sighed in his heart, in terms of martial arts, these "hunters" are not bad, if they fight alone, the Han army is not necessarily an opponent, but if they fight as a team, the hunters are vulnerable.
That's the difference between an army and a hunter.
At this time, the southeast wind from the Black Water Ocean gradually became obvious, there was a trace of warm and humid smell in the air, the earth was frozen for thousands of miles, and in this wilderness and snow forest far from the boundaries of civilization, the cold boundaries of survival and death tested all living beings.
"Ready, shoot!"
At the sound of an order, the mountain exploded again and again, the soil and rocks rolled up, and the heat wave formed a ring...... The air is boiling, and the snow is burning.
The front team carried out a leaf fire and thunder attack, and 3,000 soldiers lined up at the foot of the mountain, and the elite bows were armed with recurve bows and fire-tailed arrows, waiting for the enemy's position to break and cover and shoot at any time.
Two miles in front of the soldier's line of sight, a large number of savages cowered in a cave at the foot of the mountain, around a spiritual wood pillar with a beast pattern, and hundreds of people danced and prayed together...... This is just the visible confines of the hall, there are many small spirit wood pillars inside, and there are more faint crowds.
Ye Qing looked at it, and when the "Spirit Rhino Flashback Dayan Divine Technique" was running, he had already seen through the reality and the void.
First of all, there is a grayish, reddish qi that shelters this area, with a total number of 2,000 people, worthy of a large tribe with a long heritage.
And this bit of luck is actually insignificant, more of a trace of mysterious power in the void, which seems to contain the will of heaven and surrounds the surroundings.
"This is the shelter of this continent? It's a pity that there are too few. ”
Ye Qing smiled and continued to look, only to see that with the singing and dancing and praying, a mysterious force communicated with the leylines under the mountain, increasing several times out of thin air.
"Is this the protection of the leylines? Unfortunately, there are too few. ”
I saw that the song was a war song, the song was ancient, the dance was a war dance, with a heroic posture, mixed with a kind of wild power, these people were guarding their homeland, and they all stared at the invaders outside with hatred.
But in the eyes of the Han army, these were barbarians, enemies - at least until they were assimilated.
"Hmph, this is a human ......" Ye Qing sneered, this so-called big tribe savage lair is essentially the bare node of a large spirit stone vein, it itself can produce powerful power as long as it is guided, and the cyan color that covers the entire mountain at this time makes the rocks of the mountain show a glazed color...... It's like a miracle.
The savages did not yet have the magic circle developed by the Immortal Dao civilization, but they had their own primitive means, that is, a large totem array - especially this kind of totem of the big tribe that had been accumulated by a hundred years of sacrifice, with the spiritual vein, the power generated was already extraordinary.
Just listening to another command from below, Ye Huo's lightning struck, only to hear the boom and explosion, the cave shook, and the black and red gas continued to dissipate...... It's just a matter of the consumption of war resources.
Ye Qing saw that the other party was lacking in means, so he no longer paid much attention to the savage race, but carefully looked at the large lair they occupied, or the high-quality mine.
"It's a rare green spirit stone in the inland...... Qianqian couldn't help but speak: "The vegetation and floating soil on the surface of the mountain are swarved, and the remaining rocks are glazed, and the whole mountain is a large piece of green spirit stones...... Creation is amazing. ”
Her expression was very curious and joyful, like the little girl many years ago, in front of the lively stall on Chinese New Year's Eve, looking at the bright eyes of various delicious snacks.
Ye Qing agreed with her judgment: "The quality and scale of this mine are top-notch, and in Middle-earth, it is definitely occupied by the imperial court, and they will ......monopolize it even if they don't need it."
Everyone ignored the original owner of this mine, only the law of the jungle was pursued on this wild continent, and for the time being, ignoring the newly arrived Cai Dynasty colonies in the south in recent years, in the past hundred years, it was mainly the camp confrontation between the East China Sea Youth League and the city-state alliance, which was completely life and death, and blood feud was like a sea.
Today, after a hundred years of dark history, Ye Qing can't change this by parachuting here, and he is not ready to change it, the difference from the past policy is only to kill the prisoners or assimilate.
At this moment, the totem pole surrounded by the wild man singing and dancing lit up with golden light, the aura was boiling, the fishy smell was faint, at first glance it was flying sand and stones, a tiger-shaped giant beast roared out of the cave, and swept the right wing of the front team with one blow, and the face of the tea castle commander changed: "Desolate beast!"
Boom -
A fire thunder rose on the spot, and it was the squad that was attacked on the right flank that knew that it was not lucky, and detonated the vehicle-mounted fire mine on the spot.
"Poof" a golden divine light blocked most of the damage for it, and the steel fragments that weakened the temperature and speed hit its thick fur, all of which were like a defeated leather, and did not seem to cause damage......
But Ye Qing saw that the divine light on its body was a little weaker, and frowned: "The power of the totem?"
"No, it's not a beast or a god, it's the prototype of the god...... Or a primordial totem beast, which has the power of both a desolate beast and a god. Li Niang glanced sharply and stood up: "This divine light absorbs a lot of blood sacrifices, some of which are familiar, and there must be blood of our people...... Ordinary Dao soldiers and sorcerers can't deal with it, so Zhenjun asked me and my junior sister to dispatch......"
"Aragami ...... God!" Ye Qing glanced at it, and saw a few tiny air masses flashing, and they were absorbed by the military flag, and nodded secretly.
In this land, outsiders died in battle, and they were indeed ostracized, but if there is a military flag, they can absorb the soul of the army and turn back to the Baozhong Temple.
The god-man system of this city-state alliance originally had the upper hand in wooing and assimilating, after all, when different meteorite sources merged into this continent, they also had an impact on each other, at least in terms of language system, the exchange was closer than that of the native language.
Even if there is an individual person of insight like Aokiko in the East China Sea Youth League, the whole can't pry the corner, so it is better to kill them all and immigrate cleanly......
It's just a lot slower, so it took a hundred years to occupy only the western hills.
Ye Qing's clone personally inspected and proposed the 'Guoye' system, which was a great killer of assimilation in the history of the Han Dynasty, and he actually knew very well in his heart that this was a spark cast in the oil pot, with the rapid expansion of the population of the East China Sea Youth League, the contradiction with the city-state alliance became more intense, and the next two camps will inevitably plunder the land and population more intensely, and as for whether the savages themselves are willing to be assimilated...... It's a pity that they themselves don't have the qualifications to speak.
"Aragami, it's a pity that in this immortal world, it is destined to fall. ”
Based on this initial impression, Ye Qing understood that this desolate god also had a great origin and system, and if there was time, it could also develop and mature, but unfortunately, here, it did not have this opportunity.
At this time, Bingmei looked over, Ye Qing knew that they were experienced, stopped thinking about this, and bowed slightly: "Go up, be careful." ”
The two of them had already pinched the trick in their hands, and when they heard this, the figure suddenly flashed.
"Look at the sword!" Bingmei rushed straight up, and with a flash of sword light, it hit the totem beast divine light, and suddenly a green light lit up, piercing the totem beast's heart.
With a "pop", the sword light broke through the divine light, leaving a shallow wound on the chest.
"Ahh
The totem beast was furious and pounced on Bingmei.
And Li Niang's body flashed at this time, and she went around the side, and when the divine light was shining, she shouted: "Thunder!"
"Snap" the palm of the lightning struck behind the totem beast, only to feel a huge force counterattack, she herself shook out, taking advantage of the momentum to roll, without any damage.
And the back of the beast was suddenly scorched black, the skin and flesh rolled and broken, and flesh and blood grew, this blow caused the totem beast to be furious, forgetting the Bingmei in front of it, and turning around and biting at this small creature.
Li Niang didn't take it hard, she kept leading in front, and directly led the totem beast to the depths of the dense forest, and her junior sister followed, and several figures disappeared from everyone's field of vision in the fierce fight.
"That's it...... So?" Ye Qing, Qianqian and the others were all a little surprised.
A real person from the Immortal Gate couldn't help but laugh and nodded: "These totem beasts are infected with cruel or obscene habits by sacrifices, and their intelligence is far inferior to the demon cultivators of Zhong Lingyuxiu in heaven and earth......
"In fact, many totem beasts are confused, and they are very stupid...... But don't underestimate their strength, the long-term accumulation of totem sacrifice has made the mana strong, and the desolate beast body as the carrier of divinity is sufficient, which also makes them very vigorous......"
"What's worse is that they don't spare their divine power, and the mana that erupts out of control in a short period of time is more than that of the real Aragami, and it takes two Yang God True People to fight in rotation during the day, or five Yin God True People to fight in rotation at night, or a dozen Spirit Pool True People to besiege with the support of a large army. ”
"If we don't start fighting, the losses of the ground army will be very large, and we suffered this kind of loss in the early development. ”
"But because of stupidity, once it is distracted, it has nothing to do with the big picture. ”
Ye Qing thought about it, probably understood their traditional tactics, and asked, "When will they come back, Liniang?"
"The totem beast has not yet obtained a stable source of sacrifice, the divine pool has not been opened, and the mana is used a little less, and it can survive the previous outbreak period, and it is easier to kill than the real Aragami......"
"But according to the intelligence, this totem beast has been raised for a hundred years, and it is almost about to step into the level of the desolate god, and the two senior sisters of Li Niang and Bingmei will consume all of its mana, and it will be about two hours before they will return victoriously. ”
This real person said, a little envious: "If we change a few Yin God real people, we can only consume it during the day, and we can only be sure to defeat it at night." ”
Hearing this, Ye Qing turned his head again to observe the situation inside the enemy's cave, and said to Lu Xun: "The enemy's counterattack hole cards have been used up, you can fully press it, and break through the totem array within an hour, you can't delay it for a long time...... It's relatively close to the enemy city-state, so it's necessary to fight quickly. ”
"Yes!" Lu Xun responded in a deep voice, this little thing is not difficult for him.
