Chapter 014: Battle Embankment
"You mean the battlebank?"
Generally, the tribes that come to the Blue Bird Festival are about 400, and if they are too far away, it is impossible to come. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Some tribes are large, like the Rong tribe, and can often send three or four hundred warriors, while some tribes are small and can only send a dozen warriors, and most of them are similar to the Ye tribe, which can send thirty or forty, forty or fifty warriors.
The total number is generally maintained at 20,000 people, most of the time it is less than 20,000, if the wind and rain in the witch world are smooth, and the various departments are not harmed by the large beast tide, then the number of warriors in this Blue Bird Festival may exceed 20,000.
Counting the number of warriors, you can see the rise and fall of the surrounding witch tribes.
The battle embankment refers to this long causeway, which is about fifty miles long, and in the next three days, the soldiers of all divisions will fight against the blood insects and beasts on this long embankment.
However, in this process, the ministries will also communicate with each other, not only to join relatives, but also to inquire about the properties of each ministry, and others, to use an analogy, it is like the Olympics on the earth. But it's a little less dirty and a little more dangerous than the Olympics.
Ye Huan took Cheng Mo to visit the ministries.
Before leaving, he took a task entrusted by Dawu, and together with Cheng Mo, he distributed the map drawn by Dawu with his memory and the news from various ministries to all departments.
In the process of distribution, it is necessary to inquire about the roads of each department, at least there must be roads, it is impossible to climb over a high mountain like Tongtian Peak, and then inquire about the situation of the desolate beasts and powerful witch beasts on these roads. Based on these messages, cooperate with Cheng Mo to draw a more detailed map.
With it, the tribes can travel and trade more safely.
In this regard, all the tribes have expressed interest.
But in the Blue Bird Festival, battle is the theme.
From the beginning of the second day, the main task of the day was not to fight, but to build "fortifications".
If there are wounded people on their bodies, it is strictly forbidden to step into the battle embankment, as long as the blood insect beast smells blood, it will easily detonate the insect tide immediately, and there is no need to pay too much sacrifice.
Those who have no wounds on their skin step into the causeway first, bring wooden sections, and repair the original damaged wooden wall, this half-human high wooden wall composed of thick wooden sections is the strongest shield for the battle tomorrow.
In front of the wooden wall was a trench that, for three years, had been covered with sewage and silt, and the soldiers of the various divisions would use a stone sheet, a kind of extra-large stone shovel with edges, to get out the water and silt inside.
This grand event may not be the center of the big clans.
Although the big tribes are powerful, they are not easy to form alliances...... Either it's a real alliance, or it's not too strong to build friendly relations with each other.
For example, if the original concubine has a friendly relationship with the Rong Ministry, if the Rong Ministry has something, the Concubine Department will send someone over, but if the Concubine Department has something, the Rong Department may not take it to heart.
However, in general, the biggest enemy of the tribes is the cruel living environment, and there is not much contradiction within the human race.
For example, the flying foot is completely different from the "consciousness" of the leaf department, because it is close, and the two sides are also allies.
But from this day on, the battle has broken out.
Although the warriors of each tribe had no wounds on their bodies, many of the Blood Worm Beasts smelled the breath of human beings, climbed up the battle bank from the sea of blood, and launched an attack on the humans.
After only one look at it yesterday, Ye Huan took Cheng Mo back to visit the tribes.
It was only now that Cheng Mo had seen what the Blood Worm Beast looked like.
The size of a footbath, with a pair of hairy antennae, a straw on its mouth, and several pairs of sharp claws under its head and neck, some back whiskers on the paws, and a flat, soft belly dragged behind it.
Well, it's familiar.
It seems to be an enlarged version of the lice, but because it has sucked something from the sea of blood, its whole body has turned red, and it looks even more disgusting.
"Don't let it get close. Ye Huan shouted loudly.
How dangerous it was to get close, Cheng Mo saw a tribal warrior on the side, because he was careless, he let it get close, it stretched out the straw, and in just a moment, it sucked most of the warrior's blood away. Although the warrior on the side killed it, the warrior turned pale, shook it a few times, and then fell.
"Mo, don't look left and right. ā
Cheng Mo was taken aback by this scene, and didn't need Ye Huan's warning, he carefully watched a blood insect beast that pounced, and almost at the same time, he and Ye Ji, the Ye warrior beside him, stretched out their spears and nailed it to the ground.
It wasn't until the next day that Cheng Mo knew how terrible it was.
After a long day of repairs, the trenches were cleared and the wooden walls were completely repaired.
In the afternoon, the tribes went into the mountains and forests to hunt some witch beasts. On the second day, bring these witch beasts to the wooden wall, and do what you can, don't think it's fun, bring a lot of witch beasts, that will lead to very bad consequences.
The tribes were on guard, and the chiefs cut the beasts with stone knives and threw them into the trenches.
Smelling the bloody smell of the witch beast, the sea of blood immediately set off waves, which were not waves blown by the wind, but waves caused by the arrival of a large group of blood insect beasts.
They rushed ashore one after another, not only agile but also able to stack on top of each other, some gnawing at the flesh of those witch beasts, others pounced on the wooden wall, and even jumped two or three meters high, quickly pounced on the warriors behind the wooden wall.
Looking at the dense blood insect beasts, they were so flexible, Cheng Mo felt his scalp tingle for a while.
Ye Huan kept shouting, telling the dozens of warriors of the tribe to be careful.
At the beginning of the battle, Cheng Mo thought while fighting, no wonder the tribes of Yuanhai are grateful to the blue bird beasts, these things have come ashore, and I am afraid that the wild beasts will have to move territory for them.
It is no wonder that the original tribes repaired wooden walls and ditches here, although they were simple wooden walls and trenches, if it were not for them, it would not be humans hunting the blood insect beast, but sending rations to the blood insect beast.
Cheng Mo glanced at the flying foot next door again, compared to the forcible fight of the leaf department, the flying foot part was hunted with war insects, which was obviously much more efficient, but many war insects also died under the blood insect beast, it seems that the loss is not small, and even the young patriarch of the flying foot insect face is angry.
As the sky approached dusk, everyone stopped feeding one after another, and the tide of blood insects slowly receded.
The warriors endured the nausea, picked up the corpses of the bloodworm beasts in the trench, and put them in bamboo baskets, although they were disgusting, they were the most delicious snacks of the bluebird beasts.
In today's battle, there have been some sacrifices.
Ye Bu also had five people injured, one of them, a warrior named Hao, was sucked a mouthful of blood by the Blood Worm Beast, but fortunately, Cheng Mo was standing beside him at that time, and broke its straw with the tip of his spear at once. Otherwise, if you suck it down, you won't want to save your life. That's it, tomorrow Yu will have to withdraw from the battlefield.
Ye is not bad, although the results of the Flying Foot Division are almost six or seven times as huge as Ye Bu, because of their own strength, two soldiers were sacrificed in just one day today.
But during the rest and panting in the middle, Cheng Mo also paid attention to the battles of other tribes.
There was no comparison before, coupled with Ye Huan's indoctrination, I always thought that Ye Huan's warriors were very strong.
In fact, on this vast battlefield, many tribal warriors showed themselves to be braver than the Ye warriors, not referring to the overall strength, but to individual combat effectiveness.
Cheng Mo also saw a tribe more than 600 meters away from him, and there was a warrior among them, who rushed directly into the trench with a stone knife, killing nearly a hundred blood insect beasts in a row before retreating behind the wooden wall unharmed.
It is estimated that even if Ye Huan fights with him, he is not an enemy of several combinations.
This is the real, colorful witch world.
The crowd retreated exhausted.
There are still a small number of blood insect beasts on the battle embankment that have not retreated, and everyone doesn't care.
The warriors of the various tribes returned to the camp to rest, and at this moment, a message came out from the tribes.
The leaves are not in front, and the top is in front of the large tribes, and of course, it is also the most dangerous and fiercely fought area.
The tribes at the top found that the length of the battle embankment had suddenly increased by about thirty or forty miles this year.
The further forward the battlewall became, the narrower and more dangerous it became, so the tribes in front only sent some warriors to inspect it and then retreated.
It is not a trivial matter, especially the witch tribes in the Yuanhai area, they are not afraid of changes in the blood sea, they are afraid of changes in the blood insects and beasts. Once their numbers increase, the blue birds and beasts cannot stop them, and let them go ashore in large numbers, and then there will be various terrain to cover, unlike here, which is bare at a glance, then it will immediately form a huge harm.
However, some people say that it seems that the battlewall grew once a few decades ago, and then it was restored automatically.
All the people who came were young people, and they couldn't speak clearly, so they were talking together.
"Tsuna, is the news true?"
"The people in Rongbu said it was true. ā
Cheng Mo became inexplicably excited, "Huan, do you remember that there is a big river south of Rongbu?"
"Chishui River?"
"It's the river, and it's more than twenty miles wide. What if the width of the sea of blood reaches a hundred li, or two hundred?"
Everything is magnified in the witch world, and the width of the Yangtze River and the Amazon estuary on the small earth is also very amazing.
"Huan, I was teleported from the earth, and during the landing, I saw not a sea of blood, but a blood-colored river, how wide it was, and the speed at which I landed was too fast to estimate. But I see that on the other side of the sea of blood, there is also a vast world. ā
"Oh......"
"Don't you understand what I mean?"
If it continues, the two worlds will be able to communicate...... Cheng Mo looked at the east excitedly, maybe the little sister was on the other side of the river.
