Chapter 039: A Different Situation
The grassland was open to the north, and countless figures and livestock were moving slowly, raising a burst of flying sand, causing all kinds of animals on the grassland to startle out in all directions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chu Liuxiang stood on the top of a steep stone pillar, leaning down and carefully looking at the team that was slowly advancing below, his face full of solemnity.
At the head of the line is the Barbarian Race's most unique class, and the most troublesome wolf cavalry for humans!
The gray-black giant wolf under the seat was about five or six feet tall and nearly fourteen or fifteen feet long, and its huge wolf head could almost swallow half of a human body in one bite, which was very terrifying in itself. The knight barbarian warrior riding on the giant wolf is also very tall, with a height of more than nine feet, combined with the bulging muscles of the whole body, people can see the huge power contained in the opponent's body at a glance. Although there is no armor on their bodies, they can easily cut the enemy in half with a giant knife and hammer as tall as a normal human! The vast majority of barbarians are decorated with white bones, some human and some animal, giving people a very hideous feeling! Only a very few barbarians of obviously high status are covered with leather armor and wear helmets made of unknown materials like evil spirits.
The number of wolf cavalry is not too large, at least less than one percent of the entire team of the barbarian race, and the vast majority of the barbarian race are infantry. They are basically armed with weapons such as hammers or knives, and there is no long-range equipment such as bows and arrows. However, from the previous battle records, it can be known that the barbarians' long-range attacks are mainly based on throwing javelins and boulders, etc., which is not unusual.
Like the wolf cavalry, the barbarian infantry had only hideous bone ornaments and no defensive equipment. Even the high-ranking infantrymen who appeared to be squad leaders wore strange helmets.
In the center of the numerous infantry, a huge tent was dragged by dozens of livestock. Judging from the gorgeous decorations on the outside of this tent and the wolf cavalry guarding the surrounding area, this should be the royal tent of the barbarian race!
At the back were a large number of livestock and cattle and sheep accompanying the army.
As can be seen from the entire ranks, there is no distinction between male and female warriors of the barbarian race. Basically, they all follow the team with weapons, and they look like all the people are soldiers.
On the other side, Lu Xiaofeng quietly hid behind a stone wall, watching all kinds of strange barbarian soldiers slowly advance.
This team was much smaller than Chu Liuxiang's, but it looked very weird. All the barbarians carried tall and tough wood, and each of them was at least twenty feet long, and the big wood seemed to have been carefully repaired, and it seemed that the barbarians were very fond of these big wood treasures.
In addition, the rear of the barbarians also drove about ten huge proboscis monsters forward. These proboscis monsters, with their massive fangs and long, flexible snouts, built a platform to the north that could hold five barbarian warriors.
Not only that, but these proboscis monsters are covered with leather armor all over their bodies, and the key parts are even attached to metal, so it is obvious that the barbarian race is also very fond of this kind of monster. After careful observation, Lu Xiaofeng also found that the size of the barbarian race in this team was slightly smaller than the barbarian race in his impression, and the weapon was actually a double-edged knife with his back on his back, which was obviously different from the average barbarian warrior!
"It seems...... It's a little tricky?!" Lu Xiaofeng squinted his eyes, took out a white cloth from his arms, and then quickly sketched on it with the charcoal he carried with him, drawing these unusual barbarian images in front of him.
At this time, it can be seen that Lu Xiaofeng's skills in stone coal sketching have depicted all the characteristics of these barbarians in a few simple steps.
"Who is it?!" Just as Lu Xiaofeng put the white cloth in his hand into his arms, he suddenly heard an angry roar. Immediately, Lu Xiaofeng felt his eyebrows tighten, and immediately left the place where he had just been hiding.
Not long after Lu Xiaofeng left, several huge stones blasted towards his location, followed by several barbarian warriors with double blades in both hands.
"Yo, it's been discovered?!" Lu Xiaofeng laughed loudly, standing on the top of a tall tree not far away, swaying casually in the wind, looking at the barbarian warriors surrounding the trees below and laughing.
"Kill!" Those barbarian warriors didn't talk nonsense, they roared directly, and some picked up special stones and long javelins and threw them at Lu Xiaofeng, and a huge warrior even raised the giant axe in his hand and slashed at the trunk of the big tree where Lu Xiaofeng was standing.
"Ha, uncle, I won't play with you!" Lu Xiaofeng laughed, turned over and jumped into the air, laughed at the barbarians below, and then turned around in the air and quickly walked into the distance, leaving only the javelins and stones behind him.
"Wolf cavalry, chase!" A team of wolf cavalry as a guard naturally refused to let him go, and after a loud roar, they urged the giant wolf to rush in the direction where Lu Xiaofeng was.
====================================================
As the day approached Xishan, Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang returned to the fortress almost at the same time.
"Hmm?!was discovered?!" Chu Liuxiang asked with a smile when she saw that although Lu Xiaofeng's whole body was intact, there were a few torn clothes on his body.
"yes. Lu Xiaofeng smiled, but he didn't care very much, "Although there are not many people along the way, there are masters! If it weren't for the light skills, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back! How are you there?!"
"There is a large army of barbarians on my side, and I have also seen the king's tent!" Chu Liuxiang's face was solemn, and he said solemnly, "I didn't get close to investigate until I avoided being discovered." However, a rough estimate of the number of barbarian races is no less than half a million!"
"There are quite a few people!" Lu Xiaofeng's face also became solemn. From the situation on his side, it can be roughly calculated that the barbarian race that invaded south exceeded 600,000! Based on the previous record, three ordinary warriors can resist one barbarian warrior, and the human pressure on this defense is a bit great. If it weren't for the 'Scarlet Fortress' to hold on, this battle would have been a nightmare for mankind at all!
"Tell the Patriarch of Huangpu about this right away. Chu Liuxiang nodded and entered the fortress with Lu Xiaofeng.
"So many people?!" When Huangpu Gui learned from Chu Liuxiang about the approximate number of barbarian tribes who invaded the south this time, his face was also slightly surprised, "It seems that this time they are determined to win!
"Ah Yi, what are you looking at?!" Huang Pu Ling was about to answer, but when she saw Gu Yi holding the white cloth brought by Lu Xiaofeng and looking at it with a solemn face, she asked curiously.
"Lu Daxia. Gu Yi raised his head, looked at Lu Xiaofeng and asked with a serious expression, "Are these the specific circumstances of those special barbarian soldiers you saw?"
"Exactly!" Lu Xiaofeng replied with rare respect, as if he admired the status of the senior guest of the Gu Yi Emperor Pu family.
"Can I ask a few questions?"
"Please say Gu Shaoxia!"
"Do these giant trees that are being carried forward by the barbarians look sturdy and flexible?!How long?!"
"It looks very sturdy, and many of them are wrapped in leather cloth that doesn't work well. As for flexibility, I'm not very sure! It's definitely more than 20 zhang long!"
"Okay. Gu Yi paused and continued to ask, "Those barbarians with double blades on their backs are much smaller than ordinary barbarians?!, are they very dexterous?!"
"It's really much smaller!" Lu Xiaofeng lowered his head and pondered for a while, then continued, "It's about seventy or eighty percent of the barbarian race I've seen before, and it's only a little taller than humans!
"What is the specific body condition of these long-nosed monsters?!" Gu Yi looked at each other and asked curiously, "How is your temperament?!"
"I can't see the temperament, but it seems that the barbarians are in good control! As for the body shape, it is almost fifteen or sixteen zhang tall!"
"Senior brother, what did you think of?!" Seeing Gu Yi silent again, Li Xunhuan couldn't help but ask.
"Senior brother, if you are asked to hold the end of the twenty-zhang long tree, and a few other people directly erect the long tree, can you guarantee that it will not fall before the long tree stands up?!" Gu Yi did not answer directly, but looked at him and asked.
"Of course......" Li Xunhuan was about to answer, but his face immediately changed, he picked up the white cloth that Gu Yi had put down before and looked at it, and then shouted loudly, "These barbarian clans have made a lot of preparations!"
"What does Gu Shaoxia mean......" Huang Pu Gui is not stupid, he understood what Gu Yi meant when he thought about it casually, "These small dexterous barbarians would use this method to directly enter the fortress walls?!"
"I've seen examples in the past. The barbarians have always struggled to climb the city wall, so they can't break through the fortress and finally fail!" Gu Yi looked around at everyone present and said with a serious face, "If my guess is correct! The barbarian race has already thought of a way to land on the city wall, and they have been preparing this method for a long time, and these smaller barbarians are the result of special training!"
"And that weird proboscis beast! Such a huge size, combined with the tall barbarians, can almost look at the top of our walls. The barbarian standing above should have used javelins and stones to attack directly above the walls, thus solving the disadvantage of the lack of power of javelins and stones in previous battles!...... I suspect that proboscis monster is incredibly powerful and will most likely attack our walls directly!"
"It's really possible!" said Kei Huangpu's face changed. The reason why he was confident that he could deal with the barbarians who invaded the south was that he relied on the tall walls of this fortress! Now he deliberately told him that the barbarians had found a way to deal with the city walls, how could he not be anxious?!
"Do you have a way?!" Li Xunhuan looked at Gu Yi and asked.
"......" After hearing Li Xunhuan's words, everyone looked at Gu Yi, expecting him to say what to do.
