Chapter 106: Road to War
Zhang Baishan walked and stopped like this, he thought that he would encounter all kinds of things, but he didn't expect that he would encounter war, and he encountered two in one day.
In fact, there are tens of thousands of tribes large and small in the Shenzhou Continent, and there are wars happening every day.
Fortunately, the two battles he encountered were not large, and one was a local conflict between the tribes. In order not to expand the war, both tribes sent only 500 men and horses to fight in the field. The other can only be regarded as a sneak attack and robbery, but both sides are armies.
In the morning, when Zhang Baishan was rushing towards Tongxian City along the mountain path with great interest, he suddenly heard a fierce fighting sound from the other side of the high mountain in the distance, the sound was noisy, grandiose, and endless.
Zhang Baishan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly ran to the top of the mountain.
Although the war is dangerous, he is a person who will definitely participate in the war in the future, and it is really rare to have the opportunity to watch the two sides fight from afar.
Unable to obscure his view from the trees, he jumped to the top of one of the tallest ancient trees.
The battle had just begun, and it could be seen from the battle flags on both sides that one side was the Wei Chi clan and the other side was the Nangong clan. The Wei Chi clan was wearing a red battle armor, and the Nangong clan was wearing a yellow battle armor, and both sides were extremely recognizable. The Yu Chi clan obviously occupied the favorable terrain and rushed down from the hillside, while the Nangong clan had to fight up from the bottom of the hillside.
Zhang Baishan watched carefully and found that the tactics of the soldiers on both sides were different.
The soldiers of the Wei Chi clan formed a small team one by one, and the squad was generally five people, two people defended, and three people killed one enemy together, while the soldiers of the Nangong clan fought alone, although they were brave and brave.
Individual combat seems to be flexible, but once it is targeted by the opponent's team, one person is difficult to defeat with ten hands, and he is quickly killed by the opponent.
Zhang Baishan then found that the actions commanded by the two sides were different.
Wei Chiyou, the commander of the Wei Chi clan, stood at the back of the army, escorted by two soldiers, and he kept shouting: "One team, five teams, assist the third team! Nine teams, twelve teams, quickly support the left side! Seven teams, fifteen teams, one team into one team!" As he shouted, the squads moved and changed rapidly. But Nangong Mang, the leader of the Nangong clan, fought bravely in the battle.
Nangong Mang used a big knife in his hand, and his bravery was abnormal, and he killed several of the opponent's teams in just one cup of tea. When he found that Wei Chiyou was at the rear of the army, he rushed all the way to kill and went straight to Wei Chiyou.
Wei Chiyou saw that Nangong Mang was about to break through the defense and approach him, and shouted: "Twenty teams, twenty-two teams, twenty-five teams, thirty-six teams, surround and kill Nangong Mang!" Immediately, four squads surrounded Nangong Mang without fear of death.
As time passed, the advantages of squad combat became more and more apparent, and more and more soldiers in yellow armor died.
At this time, Wei Chiyou handed over the command to a guard beside him, and he waved a long knife and rushed towards Nangong Mang.
The two of them are both in the late stage of the Wuzong Realm, Nangong Mang is level eight, and Wei Chi is level seven, but Nangong Mang fought with the enemy soldiers for nearly an hour, although he killed countless enemy soldiers, he was scarred and consumed a lot.
Moreover, under the command of Wei Chiyou, if he kills one, he will make up for one, and if he kills a squad, he will make up for a squad, and there will always be twenty people by his side.
Now that Wei Chiyou has joined in, the situation has changed immediately, and Nangong Mang has fought extremely hard and passively.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Wei Chiyou cut down the big knife in Nangong Mang's hand, put the long knife shining with cold light on Nangong Mang's neck, and shouted: "Nangong Mang, I pity you for being a man, and ask you, do you surrender or die?"
Nangong Mang's face was like dust, and he lowered his head and said, "Descend." ”
"Then order the soldiers to lay down their weapons!"
Nangong Mang shouted hoarsely, "Put down your weapons!
Of Nangong Mang's 500 soldiers, except for a very few who escaped, only nearly 100 were left alive, and the rest were all killed on the battlefield, and their corpses were lying all over the hillside.
The remaining 300 or so soldiers quickly took out spiritual weapons and chains to tie the captives together, and then carried the dead and wounded of their own side into the carriage, stripped off all the weapons and equipment of the deceased on the other side, and then piled the corpses into a pile, poured black oil, and lit a fire.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Wei Chiyou quickly left with the soldiers and the prisoners, and left in the dust.
Zhang Baishan watched as the team disappeared completely before falling from the tree. The battle ended so quickly that he couldn't get enough of it. Zhang Baishan hurried forward while continuing to review and summarize Wei Chiyou's tactics.
Zhang Baishan also read several military books in the library of the Baishan family, and combined with today's battle, his understanding of military books is more profound.
After traveling for hundreds of miles, it was already afternoon, and Zhang Baishan saw an army escorting supplies marching in front of the official road.
Zhang Baishan wanted to pass from the side, but as soon as he approached, a soldier shouted: "Escort the army, pedestrians avoid, don't approach!"
Zhang Baishan was a little depressed and asked, "What are you escorting, and where are you going?"
"This is a tribute to Emperor Yan of the Shennong Clan, and you must not get close!"
Zhang Baishan was stunned when he heard this. The Shennong clan is weak, and the tens of thousands of families and tribes on the Shenzhou continent are in their own ways, and there are fewer and fewer who obey the rule of the imperial court.
"Big brother, which tribe are you from?" Zhang Baishan chatted with the last soldier. This soldier is also very young, and he looks only a few years older than Zhang Baishan.
"We are the Haoying tribe. ”
"Oh, a great, ancient tribe!" Zhang Baishan praised.
The young soldier listened, and a look of pride appeared on his face.
Zhang Baishan was chatting with the soldiers while walking, and Hao Yingkai, the captain of the tribute escort team, came over on a tall scaly horse, looked at Zhang Baishan majestically and shouted, "What's your name?"
"General, my name is Zhang Baishan!"
"Why follow us?"
"I went to Tongxian City to study at Tongxian Academy, and I happened to meet the general's team. ”
Haoying saw that Zhang Baishan's eyes were pure, his air was lofty, he was handsome, his words were full of respect, he had a good impression in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face and said, "Then let's go together!"
Zhang Baishan said happily: "The general is willing to talk to the juniors, thank you very much." Saying that, he approached Hao Yingkai, one horse and one horse, one old and one young, and the two chatted while walking.
Hao Yingkai asked casually: "Where is the Immortal Mansion?"
Zhang Baishan said: "I live in Yisu City, with my uncle and uncle, and my parents were separated in a war. ”
When Zhang Baishan went out, he thought about his family background.
I have a special situation, and I have been chasing and killing Ba Shi, and the real situation must not be preached to the outside world.
Haoying listened to it and couldn't help but sympathize and said: "It's really sad to lose your parents at such a young age. Fortunately, you are so energetic and promising! We went to the Shennong clan to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, and we happened to be on the same road as you, and you didn't have a companion along the way, so you followed us for a few days. ”
Zhang Baishan happily replied: "In this way, thank you general." ”
Haoying laughed and said: "You will graduate from Tongxian Academy in the future, if you want to enter the barracks, you can come to the old man, and the old man will definitely sponsor you a good position!"
The two chatted as they walked, quite happy. Suddenly, there was a shout from the front.
Haoying was startled and said, "Not good!" and immediately rode forward. Zhang Baishan saw it and ran behind him.
