Chapter 040: Bloody Battle (1)
'Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now it is stepping forward from the beginning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Looking at the densely gathered barbarian soldiers below, Gu Yi muttered to himself in his heart. This sentence comes from Mao Taizu's "Remembering Qin'e and Loushanguan", which talks about the belief of moving forward bravely without fear of difficulties!
Although it was a little out of place, looking at the confidence and pride on the rugged faces of those people of the barbarian race that were different from humans, Gu Yi could see that the other party had quite sufficient belief in this attack!
The barbarian race, this is a race that has lived with humans in the Purple Gold Continent for an unknown number of years. Although in terms of individual strength, the barbarian race, which is obviously physically stronger than several times that of humans, is only higher than humans in terms of individual combat power among all alien races, but they have always been in the situation of a tribal alliance ruled by the royal family, and they are indeed one of the overlords of the entire Purple Gold Continent!
Compared to orcs and orcs, who were scattered in a small tribal situation and did not have absolute royal rule, the barbarians had an absolute advantage in discipline and numbers. Before the appearance of the Human Empire, it swept almost the entire Purple Gold Continent.
As for the other alien races, the giants are too few in number, and they are mostly hidden in the mountains, only appearing occasionally. Therefore, even if the individual strength is very terrifying, it does not have much deterrent power.
As for the Dwarves and the Elves, these two are the races that live in seclusion in the deep mountains and jungles of the south as an alliance. In general, there is a reluctance to come into contact with the outside world, because there are few of them and there is almost no aggression!
After the establishment of the Purple Gold Dynasty of the human race, the main enemies of humanity have always been the barbarians, with only occasional small-scale attacks by giants, orcs, and half-orcs.
"Knock knock knock...... A very rhythmic drum beat came out of the barbarian army, and a group of relatively short but very strong barbarian warriors walked out, all of them holding huge wooden shields that almost covered themselves, and lined up in front of the formation in a long line.
"It's going to start!" On the viewing platform on the city wall, Li Xunhuan said solemnly to Gu Yi.
"Hmm. Gu Yi nodded, and his eyes became serious.
Although as a person who had traveled through many planes in his previous life, Gu Yi did not face much war. Except for participating in a few battles to defend the city in the world of "Condor", most of the time he only faced some Jianghu organizations.
The battle in front of him is completely different from Gu Yi in the world of "Condor" in terms of scale and combat situation. Although the wolf cavalry of the barbarians is very similar to the Mongolian cavalry in many qualities, the real strength is definitely not the same!
"Roar!" a heaven-shattering roar came to mind, and the barbarian warriors standing in front of them holding giant wooden shields rushed to the foot of the city wall, which looked particularly spectacular.
"Attack!" And on the city walls, the person in charge of the front line directing this battle was none other than Kei Huangpu. I saw him wave his big hand, and then countless warriors standing on the city wall raised their bows and crossbows and shot arrows.
As the main weapon of mankind against aliens, bows and crossbows have long been widely used on the battlefield. Although none of the masters on the rivers and lakes are known for their skills such as bows and crossbows, almost every human being learns and trains this skill from an early age, and martial artists are even better!
The rain of swords in the sky came down from above, and suddenly the advance of the barbarian warriors who rushed in front was hindered by the blow, and many barbarian warriors were directly hit by the vital point and fell to the ground.
And those barbarian warriors were not ambiguous, and immediately raised the giant wooden shield, and suddenly those sword rains in the sky lost their effect. Especially the barbarians who had formed a giant shield array that had rushed under the city walls, and the arrows did not pose any threat to them.
"Throwing stones!" Huang Pu Kei frowned, and suddenly gave another order. Immediately, a group of human warriors rushed to the city wall with huge stones and smashed the stones in their hands with all their might.
"Be careful!" At this moment, countless javelins and stones flew above the city wall, and many human warriors were knocked off the city wall or directly pierced through the chest by javelins without preparation!
"It's going to start!" Gu Yi couldn't help but say when he saw that behind the barbarian clan, those barbarian clans carrying long trees were rushing over quickly.
Everyone followed Gu Yi's gaze, and saw a group of barbarian warriors rushing over quickly carrying a long wood of about twenty zhang. At the moment when he was about to come to the bottom of the city wall, the barbarian who ran in front and carried the long wood pushed the long wood to the ground, and then quickly ran to the back end of the long wood and hugged the long wood tightly. And those stout and powerful barbarians who had come under the city wall before immediately took over the long wood, and several people used their strength to stand up the long wood directly and lean towards the city wall!
"Brother Gu is really amazing, he actually guessed the opponent's new attack method!" The martial arts masters standing on the viewing platform couldn't help but be impressed by Gu Yi, this attack method of the barbarian race was proposed by Gu Yi last night, and told how to deal with it!
"It's just a fluke!" Gu Yi smiled humbly, and then looked at the city wall.
"Volley!" Huang Pu Kei ordered the person behind him with a solemn face.
"Yes!" a group of warriors responded, and then several strong warriors rushed out holding a long log inlaid with sharp knives in the front. It was like using a shovel to break wood, quickly and forcefully shoveling the barbarian patriarchs who were going to lean against the city walls.
"Click!" With a crisp sound, many long logs that were supposed to lean against the city wall were directly shoveled down, and then the barbarian warriors who were originally clinging to them fell directly from the air.
"It's finished!" everyone laughed, and naturally felt very happy when they saw that the opponent's new combat methods had been forcefully counterattacked.
"Ding Ding Ding ......" A crisp metallic sound came, and the barbarians immediately retreated like a tide, leaving only corpses on the ground.
"This is retreating?!" said someone on the viewing platform as they looked at the retreating barbarians below.
"Today was just a test of the attack. Huang Pu Ling looked down and said coldly, "Although the opponent's new combat method has been broken by us, the barbarian race has not invested many people, and it has not used the previous combat method. So it's just a temptation!"
"Yes!" Lu Xiaofeng touched his chin and looked at the barbarian clan below as if talking to himself, "Those huge proboscis monsters haven't appeared yet!"
"The barbarian clan's 'city-breaking army' did not participate in the attack either!" said Masasumi Huangpu, who received everyone on behalf of the Huangpu family on the viewing platform, with a serious expression.
"What city-breaking army?!" everyone looked at Huangpu Masamune.
"It's an army of terrible masters armed with huge hammers and axes. They were extremely powerful and enduring, and what they were best at destroying walls and gates was. Most of the damage to the walls of the 'Scarlet Fortress' has been caused by this force!"
"Alright. Li Xunhuan saw that the atmosphere was a little serious, and after glancing at the crowd, he said, "Although today is a tentative attack, our response is still effective and effective! It can be regarded as winning the initial victory! The battle in the future will definitely be very simple, but I believe that everyone will definitely win the same victory as today!"
"Li Daxia is right!" everyone responded, and the atmosphere of anger before disappeared in an instant.
"When did Senior Brother learn to appease the army?!" Gu Yi came to Li Xunhuan's side with a smile and said in a low voice.
"I learned from you. Li Xunhuan replied with a smile and walked over to Huang Puling.
"It's tricky!" Gu Yi didn't say anything, turned around and looked at the barbarian clan below who was cleaning up the corpses, his expression was very solemn.
According to his previous thoughts, the battles in this world were nothing more than those planes that he had experienced in his previous life. Those combat methods and war books in your own memory are enough to deal with it!
But today's preliminary trial battle told Gu Yi that everything is not so simple!
In Gu Yi's impression, this kind of battle Gu Yi had only been seen in European mythological epic movies in the real world! Although the barbarian race was similar to Gu Yi's Xiongnu or Mongols in his previous life in terms of personality, in terms of combat strength and methods, it was very similar to the orcs in the mythological epic movies in his previous life!
It can be said that this so-called barbarian race is almost exactly the same as the orcs in Gu Yi's impression of the movie, except that they are extremely similar to humans and have no characteristics of beasts in the appearance!
After carefully considering the situation of the army secretly cultivated by his subordinates, Gu Yi had to admit that he was still a little weak!
"It seems that we still can't be conservative!" Gu Yi paused, and made another determination in his heart.
In his previous understanding, Gu Yi discovered that although there were bows and crossbows in this world, there were no large-scale long-range attack weapons extended from this weapon. In Gu Yi's impression, there are two large-scale long-range weapons that can have great power and can now withstand technology: a stone-throwing vehicle and a giant ballista!
Gu Yi didn't want to take out these two weapons, because this kind of technology could easily be leaked out, and it would inevitably bring difficulties to his future unification of the human race! But now it seems that Gu Yi still thinks too much! If he can't deal with other races, it makes no sense for Gu Yi to unify the human world!
After thinking about it, Gu Yi didn't say anything, and quietly went to find Hu Bugui.
======================================
"Patriarch, according to the spies, the barbarians have indeed sent two teams to the south from the path on both flanks. A warrior who had come to report entered the council chamber and reported the information to Kei and the others.
"As expected!" Huang Pu Kei's face didn't change, but he looked around at the people below, "Which hero will join my Huang Pu family to stop these two barbarians?!"
"I'm going to see. A loud voice remembered, and when everyone looked over, they saw Gu Yi, who was sitting in the middle of the crowd, standing up and saying with a smile.
