Chapter 265: Under the Greedy Wolf Mountain

Another three days passed, and in the past three days, Yuan Qi used thunder means to once again wipe out the small tribe of five Xin barbarians, slaughtering all the Xin barbarians in the tribe, and plundering all the supplies. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn just six days, there have been eight tribes of Xin barbarians, who have disappeared from people's sight forever.

The Xin barbarians are not fools, Ottawa and Manila have not been able to spread the news of who wins and who loses for a long time, which has long aroused the suspicion of the leaders of the various tribes, and they have sent envoys to the two tribes to inquire about the news, and finally what they got is the result that the two tribes have long been disheartened and the materials have been plundered.

Some of the leaders of the Xin barbarians, under the leadership of the Right Guard, began to inspect the desert, and found that eight tribes had been wiped out in silence, so frightened that Qatar hurriedly issued an order as the Right Guard, summoning the leaders of each tribe to his tribe to discuss the military situation.

Two-thirds of the leaders in the desert rushed to the tribes in Qatar with their personal guards, and a series of things was really a bit strange, and they had to be cautious. However, a third of the tribal leaders, in an ill-informed situation, have not yet received news of the extermination of the eight tribes, so they believe that Qatar has ulterior motives, and he intends to take advantage of the fact that the whereabouts of Ottawa and Manila are unknown, so these people remain in their tribes and do not follow Qatar's orders.

With the help of the Qianlong members, Yuan Qi quickly mastered the movements of the Xin barbarians, so Yuan Qi began to divide the troops again, respectively let Qi Tian, Zhao Hu, Ma Yue and Xu Chu each lead an army, while the Xin barbarians went to the Qatar tribe to discuss the military situation, when the tribal sergeants were leaderless, lightning again conquered four medium-sized tribes in one day, according to the custom, the Xin barbarians were still killed, and all the materials were taken back to supplement the army.

Until Yuan Qi defeated the twelve Xin Barbarian tribes one after another, and the news of the defeat and death of Ottawa and Manila also came out, counting these two tribes, there have been fourteen tribes wiped out by the enemy army led by Yuan Qi, this number is close to half of the number of Xin Barbarian tribes.

In a fit of rage, Qatar gathered all the soldiers and horses of the Xinman tribes, raised a total of 100,000 horses, and prepared for a decisive battle with Yuanqi. These 100,000 soldiers. It can be said that it is the last foundation of the Xin barbarians, and almost all the young adults who are suitable for the battlefield have been pulled over by him. 100,000 horses, led by Qatar and more than a dozen tribal leaders, rushed to the Greedy Wolf Mountain, intending to fight the enemy to the death.

The movements of the Xin barbarians naturally couldn't hide from the ubiquitous hidden dragons, and they informed Yuan Qi of the news as soon as possible. And under the leadership of Li Ru, who has been hiding in the shadows. All returned to the defense under the greedy wolf mountain, and merged with Yuan Qi.

Time passed day by day, and another two days slipped away before everyone's eyes. After this period of recovery, the wounded soldiers in the army have also recovered a lot, they were originally only slightly injured, after this period of cultivation and treatment, even if they are not recovering as before, but there is absolutely no problem to go to the battlefield.

At the same time, two days later, Qatar led an army of 100,000 people to finally arrive at the foot of the Greedy Wolf Mountain, and after a short rest, Qatar launched a fierce assault on the enemy's fortifications. Under the pressure brought by the Yuanqi, the leaders of the various tribes temporarily put aside their selfishness, obeyed the dispatch of Qatar, and sent their soldiers and horses one after another as the vanguard troops to rush towards the enemy.

Since this time, the Yuan Qi army has already built a strong defensive line, which is composed of several parts. The closest part is an earthen wall one zhang high and two feet back, which can effectively prevent the impact of the Xin barbarian cavalry, and isolate the Xin barbarians, who are mainly cavalry, from the earthen wall, unless the Xin barbarians are willing to abandon their war horses and meet the battle on foot. On the earthen wall, there are also hundreds of lookouts with a caliber of half a foot, through which the enemy can fire crossbow arrows outward, causing effective damage to the Xin barbarians. Behind the earthen wall is a two-tiered platform on which the sergeant can stand, and the platform is connected by a gentle slope that allows the sergeant to advance and retreat freely between the camp and the earthen wall. At the top of the earthen wall is another layer of platform that has been tamped, this platform is the most solid and widest, and eighty red-clothed ballistas are neatly placed on it, and the bloodthirsty cold light has been aimed at the space within seven hundred steps in front of the earthen wall.

Between ten and fifty paces beyond the earthen wall is the second defensive section. This section is made up of numerous stakes and tripwires, and is accompanied by a trap hidden in the ground to sprain the hooves of the barbarians.

Farther away, the third component of the defense, within a distance of fifty to a hundred paces, a number of traps were dug here more than a foot deep, and at the bottom of the trap were sabers captured from the Xin Man's captives, and once a Xin Barbarian cavalry fell into the trap, it must have ended up with men and horses being pierced into a hornet's nest by the upside-down sabers.

If it weren't for the fact that the time was a little hasty, a more complete fortification could still be arranged, but this kind of defense in front of him was not bad! Standing behind the earthen wall, Yuan Qi, who was observing the movement of the Xin barbarian cavalry through the lookout, saw that the Xin barbarians were attacking under the orders of Qatar, and when he saw that the Xin barbarians were attacking under the orders of Qatar, the corners of his mouth brought a grim smile, and he slowly gave an order to Xu Shu at the top of the earthen wall: "Let them taste the power of the red-clothed ballista first." ”

Xu Shu smiled heartily, and then commanded 800 ballista gunners to start the first confrontation of this decisive battle! Peng Peng's loud voice was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and 80 red-clothed ballistas fired at the same time, and 400 crossbow arrows of different sizes, with a strong penetrating force, shot at the Xinman cavalry 600 paces away.

Although the number of 400 crossbow arrows is not much, but the momentum is amazing, each crossbow arrow pierces the air, bringing out a burst of wind-breaking sound, relying on the power of machinery, these crossbow arrows have actually done what only Yuan Qi can do - breaking the wind! The crossbow arrows that roared and shot made the charging Xin Barbarian cavalry shocked, in the face of such a powerful and earth-shattering crossbow, who would dare to resist with his body? A row of Xin Barbarian cavalry who rushed to the front hurriedly collected the war horses, trying to turn around and avoid those terrifying crossbows. But they wanted to stop, but the people behind them failed to react in time, and were still riding their horses and galloping, so the cavalry that was sprinting behind slammed into their companions who had slowed down in front, which led to a series of chain reactions, and several neat rows of Xinman's cavalry were in chaos.

Before more of the Xin Barbarian cavalry could react, four hundred crossbows were already in front of them! A series of snorting sounds of flesh being pierced, accompanied by the click of broken bones, and the screams of the Xin barbarians because of pain, as well as the mournful screams of the war horses after being pierced, suddenly resounded, and the four hundred crossbows brought great damage to the Xin Barbarian cavalry, and the blood splashed all over the sky, staining the yellow sand under their feet. This round of artillery bombardment alone plunged nearly 2,000 Xinman cavalry into eternal darkness. What frightened the Xin barbarians was far more than the loss of two thousand people, but the huge deterrent power of the red-clothed ballista, and in the face of such a ballista, no Xin barbarian was confident that he could survive its attack.

Qatar, who was behind the barbarian people, looked at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, and muttered: "No wonder Shan Yu and Zuo Bingwei disappeared at the same time, it turns out that the enemy army actually has such a killing weapon, this, it's incredible, how did the Han people come up with this thing?" The rest of the dozen or so leaders also looked at each other, they couldn't understand it at all!

After the shock, more of the Xin Barbarian cavalry was thrown into the battlefield by their respective leaders, lined up in a loose line, and continued to attack the enemy's fortifications. In the opinion of the leader of the barbarians, no matter how powerful the ballista is, it can only take into account one direction, and pulling the skirmish line can effectively prevent the possibility of being hit by the ballista.

The Xinman cavalry team in the chaos in front had also broken free from the short-term chaos, rearranged the queue, echoed the straggler line behind it, and launched a charge again.

Xu Shu raised his right hand for the second time, and then fell heavily. Eighty red-clothed ballistas once again unleashed their might, and another four hundred powerful crossbows shot out. It's just that this time is different from just now, because the formation of the Xin barbarians was dense just now, the order given by Xu Shu was to shoot, and this time, the order given by Xu Shu was scattering. Therefore, the 400 crossbow arrows were divided into three directions, and the covering strikes were carried out in the left, center, and right directions at the same time.

Another burst of people flipped on their backs, another sound mixed with screams and screams filled the ears, and another 2,000 or so Xin Barbarian cavalry was killed by red-coated ballistas. In front of the red-clothed ballistas, these Xin Barbarian cavalry, who only had leather armor, were so fragile in their lives.
