Chapter 418
A man hurried into the tent and whispered a few words in Tashan's ear. Tower Hill's face was pale
All of a sudden, it became gloomy.
He Long asked casually, "What?"
Tashan swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "Xiling Fortress has sent troops. ”
The tea bowl in Helong's hand slid to the ground and shattered into countless pieces.
He stood up and said solemnly: "The fortress has really sent troops, and their timing is right."
It's so nice to hold. Could it be that they went to intercept the people of the grain convoy and already made contact with the fortress?"
Tashan frowned and said, "Now there is no other way, the alliance is strictly guarded, around
There was no one left in the village, except for the retired soldiers. One tribe after another, we slowly packed our bags and waited for the big one
The troops retreated together. ”
The voice of the guard came from outside the door: "My lord, Suotu is here." ”
He Long was overjoyed: "The thumbnail is here, call him in." He stood up excitedly and listened to this
So much bad news, finally heard a good news.
Tashan on the side also stretched his condensed eyebrows, cracked his mouth and laughed.
The curtain of the tent was lifted, and a depressed Sotu knelt on the ground as he entered. Helong and Tashan are in their hearts
I felt a strong sense of uneasiness in my heart. I saw that his clothes were disheveled, and his neat hair had changed
It has become a "messy" haystack, and there are traces of smoke and fire on the bronzed cheeks.
He Long straightened his face and asked, "Suotu, didn't you come here like this to ask you to stay in the Wild Wolf Valley?"
Sotu lay on the ground and cried loudly, and said, "Sect Master, I really don't have the face to come to see you, but
I made a big mistake, and if you didn't know, that's ......"
Helong's cold sweat broke out all of a sudden, could it be that the Wild Wolf Valley was in addition to things?
He Long, who was lucky, tried to keep his composure and said, "What's going on, you talk about it first." ”
"Three nights ago, a cavalry from hell rushed into the valley of the wolves and brought our food
The grass was all burned. ”
Enraged, He Long grabbed Suotu by the collar and lifted him in front of his eyes, viciously
stared into his eyes. Coldly squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "You say it again." ”
Sotu was frightened by the look of the Nemo Sect Master, and his upper and lower teeth chattered and made a "gurgling" sound,
He couldn't stop glancing at Tashan beside Helong, and wanted him to come out and say something for him. But Tower Hill knows
The seriousness of the matter, you can't open your mouth if you play, and if you get involved in this matter, you might be torn to pieces by the sect leader, he
Quietly took a step back, avoiding Suotu's pleading gaze.
"Not yet. He Long roared.
The sound was so loud that even the iron sword hanging over and over again "buzzed".
"Wild Wolves...... Valley...... Inside...... of grain and grass, was ...... Being ...... Burned ......"
He Long only felt that the blood rushed up to his head, raised his right hand, and slapped it down with a heavy palm.
"Ah......h
Only half of Sotu's screams came out, and he was beaten unconscious.
He Long still didn't understand his hatred, and was about to step forward and continue to beat. Tashan hurriedly grabbed the mountain and said, "Sect Master."
If you want to kill him, you have to ask about the situation at that time. ”
Hate to stop. He Long said: "Pull people, press him down first, and don't give him anything to eat or drink."
Water. ”
Standing in the middle of the room, all the people in the tent had already taken off. He Long sighed:
"If you're not careful, you'll lose everything. ”
Nemo's savings for hundreds of years were wasted by himself.
When he launched this war, he was still full of spring breeze, and he used this opportunity to also talk to the top of the Chu State
The class made friends. and led the masters of this sect to the Leiyin Temple, although he didn't get the holy relics, but also
Got a lot of treasures. He also secretly ridiculed that both the country and the alliance were stupid, and he didn't even notice that he was taking advantage of them
Straight. Triumphant that his plot has succeeded.
But in the face of such a frontal battlefield with thousands of troops, intrigues and tricks are not on the table. On the steppe
The terrain is flat and endless. In addition to Hu Pin's strength, there is no other way.
If you want to say that there is a harvest, the most important experience, and the treasures taken from the Lei Yin Temple. in his heart
comforted, and also aware of his own shortcomings.
But these are of no use to the situation at hand. Helong quickly calmed down and suffered
Thinking about how you can reduce your losses.
Zao Wou-Ki put his hands on the long table, leaned down and stared at the alliance officers below, and said sharply, "Everyone
bit, the end of the war is just around the corner. This time such a good situation was created by the soldiers in front of me with their lives, and I will not allow it
You make any mistakes. ”
The soldiers below got up suddenly, and the chairs under them were smashed into a mess, and no one dared to take them
Open the chair pressed on your feet.
"Take down the grassland thieves in one fell swoop, and I wish you all success. ”
"Yes. My lord. The crowd agreed.
When everyone walked out of the hall, Zao Wou-Ki called Anker.
"Are those ballistas ready?"
"Don't worry, my lord, I have prepared three thousand ballistas. This is already the limit of a craftsman. ”
"It's pretty much the same. Zao Wou-Ki bowed slightly. "You go first, I'll go find Xiao Wusheng. ”
Xiao Rubing stood by the window, looking at the soldiers coming and going, and the hurried team brought the fortress
Tension came.
Zao Wou-Ki's voice came from behind him.
"Xiao Wusheng, this time I will personally attack, and the protection in the fortress will be handed over to you. ”
Xiao Rubing turned around and smiled: "You don't have to be polite to find an adult, this is also my duty." Think I'm coming
Xiling Fortress, it is true that nothing has been done, it is really embarrassing. ”.
"Lord Fang, we have captured a captive. Yu Xiaomu reported to the young master.
Getting up from the bed, Xu Hong sat there and waited for his wife to help him wash his face, originally he was not used to it, but
Qin Mengju insisted, and he "reluctantly" accepted her kindness.
"Oh, the old rules kill. Xu Hong agreed absentmindedly, there have been captives in the past few days
When they were caught, they were all fish that escaped from the wild wolf valley. Most of the people who came out that night had no horses and relied on their feet
The land is really limited, and most of them run to the front of the big camp, after all, there are many people and safety, this is a group of people
"Sex" is a monster.
"My lord, this one is a bit special. ”
"God is mysterious, dare to tease your young master. Xu Hong's eyes rolled and said, "Could it be?"
Deserters over there in the steppe camp?"
Yu Xiaomu looked shocked, Xu Hong knew that he had guessed the result at a glance, laughed, and stretched out his hand to pat
Tap him on the shoulder: "Take me to meet the captive." ”
He turned around and said: "Leopard, wait a minute, gather everyone, pack up, and rest for more than a day, again."
It's time to go. ”
Looking up at the sky, Xu Hong thought of his wives and his senior sister Zhao Yuzhu. This war
It's going to be over soon, and I can go home to them, and my parents. I don't know if they're okay at home.
"Hahahahaha. Xu Hongchang smiled and stepped forward. Prairie people, I'm here, sir, you
Are you ready to accept the punishment of the master?
Outside the Xiling Fortress, flags fluttered and war drums resounded between the heavens and the earth.
The west gate of the fortress was wide open, and countless soldiers in armor swarmed out of the fortress, again
The battlefield is lined up in neat formations.
The horn sounded "woohoo". The neat phalanxes were separated from the left and right, and a team of war horses were pulled
Ballistas appear at the gates.
"of".
Zao Wou-Ki rode at the front of the group. Ballista after ballista drove past the crowd. “
The sound of wheels rolling by, bringing endless confidence and strength to everyone.
The atmosphere of slaughter fills the heavens and the earth, and the sunny weather in the past is cloudy today.
Bands of steppe people were tearing down tents, and beside them, countless cavalry were facing the Alliance
The soldiers were eyeing each other.
The corner of Helong's eyes twitched, the grassland people were only leather armor, but the alliance soldiers on the opposite side were all wearing them
Iron armor, he hasn't come in the previous battles, and today he finally saw the gap between the equipment of the two sides.
A group of Union soldiers escorted the convoy in the middle to the front, and the flow of people separated on both sides, "exposed".
Sharp crossbow arrows, sharp arrows "shoot" out of the cold light.
"Boom. ”
The Alliance soldiers stepped forward in unison, their strong steps shaking the ground.
The local formation of the Alliance gradually "pressed" closer to the camp of the steppe people.
He Long stared at the phalanx opposite, snorted coldly and began to deploy troops.
A group of cavalry ran out of the camp from the flank, aiming at the phalanx of the alliance from a distance, making a gesture to storm the camp.
Zao Wou-Ki smiled coldly and ordered to move on. However, the soldiers in the rear stepped forward and stood in the way
In front of them.
Seeing that his actions did not stop the advance of the alliance phalanx, He Long hated and ordered the cavalry to begin
Impact.
The sound of the horn sounded again, and the steppe cavalry began to slowly accelerate, the rumbling hooves of horses masking it
to other voices.
The soldiers in the formation dispersed with a "hula", "exposing" the ballista in the middle, and more than 100 ballistas slowed down
Slowly turn around.
As the cavalry slowly approached, a red flag waved down in the hands of an officer.
"Whoosh".
More than 100 crossbow arrows screamed out of the car and flew towards the cavalry viciously like lightning. aside
The crossbowmen quickly stepped forward, pulled the crossbows, loaded the arrows, and hundreds of thousands of training sessions made them extremely familiar with the ballista, but it was not for a short time
After a short period of time, I was ready to "shoot" the arrow again.
The first wave of crossbow arrows landed in the cavalry camp, splashing countless blood sprays. A soldier who is attacked by a crossbow bolt
, if you are lucky, you will be killed directly, and if you are unlucky, you will fall to the ground and be trampled by the cavalry swarming behind you
, even death is dead without a whole body.
A second wave of bolts came to them.
After three rounds of arrow rain, the dense cavalry was noticeably thinned. The soldiers on the side, marching in unison
stepped forward, poked the spear in his hand the ground, and squatted down.
When he ascended, a field of guns appeared directly in front of the cavalry.
Originally, the steppe people relied on the impact of cavalry to win, and to do this, not one or two cavalrymen could
Do it. The formation of the steppe cavalry in front of him was scattered and chaotic, and it was impossible to organize it at all, let alone the impact force.
However, the cavalry charged into battle with one blow, and it was not the turn of the cavalry in front to stop at all.
The companion who comes behind you will be the first to crash into you.
A steppe cavalryman who rushed to the front, looking at the gun forest that was getting closer and closer, his scalp was numb, and he was nervous
Close your eyes, bow your head on the horse, and let the horse rush forward.
"Flutter".
The sound of the spear tipping into the flesh sounded, and the steppe cavalry did not feel the pain in their bodies. He opened his eyes,
His beloved horse fell in a pool of blood. Struggled to get up from the ground, just picked up his scimitar, a black
The spear of color suddenly struck from his side. Swing your knife and slam it on the spear. Two more spears came from behind. It's him
In moments of weakness, he yelled in despair, hoping to scare off his enemies.
But it didn't go as he wanted, the two spear heads poked at his body fiercely, and then pulled out, even
With blood gushing out.
The steppe man slowly fell to the ground, and out of the corner of his eye, he found that his companions were about the same as him
Field. As countless spears fell, the formation of "riot" and "chaos" quickly calmed down. The phalanx followed the horn again
Slowly move forward, "exposing" the ground just now.
The blood "liquid" of more than 1,000 people stained the green "color" grassland, and countless stumps fell everywhere, bloody
The aura spread, adding a hideous smell to the slaughtering battlefield. In the distance, horses that had lost their owners screamed
Find your own master.
Helong's expression changed, and it was estimated that it would not be such a scene, and more than 1,000 cavalry rushed
The formation only caused more than 100 casualties on the other side. This is also a record that has never been achieved since ancient times. Say it
I'm going to lose my face.
Zao Wou-Ki 'touched' his beard, and secretly bowed his head in his heart, he didn't expect these medium-sized ballistas to be able to fire
Wield it with such power. In the past, they were pushing for giant ballistas. Except for small instruments such as bows and arrows
It has to be used by those high-level samurai warriors to hurt the steppe people in leather armor. But after all, there are people in the army
The largest number of low-level samurai were not formed, and the strength of the army equipped with medium-sized ballistas skyrocketed several times
That's a lot.
In the past, when the steppe cavalry rushed into formation, the losses were far less than now, and the infantry was charged with guns
After opening, the cavalry behind rushed into the camp, and sometimes even cut through the formation.
The consequences of the formation being rushed into chaos can be imagined, and everyone is divided and surrounded, and the organization cannot be effective
Defense, and the speed advantage of the cavalry, is often the end of the total annihilation.
The horsewhip in Helong's hand was snapped violently, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were beating endlessly.
The situation on the battlefield is naturally clear, and he is not stupid, the alliance people use medium on a large scale
The ballista was beyond his expectations, and so was its power. But he was not reconciled for decades
Ready to burn it down. The muscles on his cheeks were tense, and his teeth were clenched.
Tashan's face was full of worry, but in fact, there were still many words in his heart that had not been spoken.
Lowering his head, Tashan silently thought that their history of crisscrossing the grassland was coming to an end. Everything only
Because of the medium-sized ballista that was not taken seriously. This small change can affect an empire. (To be continued.) )
