From Chief to Ball

Page 203

"It seems that they want to directly attack their leader? There are quite a lot of people on the opposite side."

Shi Shan guessed right, the wooden pole with the wolf's tail was indeed the leader of the grassland tribes, the old chief was still standing under the wooden pole, but when the guards found out that the troops were dispatched from the city, the various leaders discussed and decided to let Dawu commanded the battle.

The vigorous Dawu rode on a horse, stood on a small slope, looked at Xiacheng's army, and said solemnly: "I thought they would abandon the city and flee, but they didn't run away, but wanted to fight us to the death. The group of people are very powerful, they still have such energy after being thirsty for three days, it's hard to fight."

"So what if it's hard to fight? There are not many of them, so they can only fight to the death and prepare to charge us. There are more than 350 people in total. Everyone in the city should come out, right? There are only a few dozen people left in the city to watch!" To attack the city, I think we separate out some people and this group of people, and others directly attack the city..."

"Nonsense, how can this work? As long as this group of people die, the city will be cooked meat and cannot fly away. There are not many people we can really fight. There are only a few hundred like them, and we have separated some People go to the south to ambush, who knows they won't run away..."

"Yes, this is also a group of warriors, just like moths that fly into the fire at night, but no matter how brave they are, they cannot escape being burned to death."

Dawu smiled and agreed with this statement. He likes to praise the enemy. If the enemy is not brave and he can't do anything after fighting for so long, then what is he?

Although it is difficult to contain the excitement in being elected as a military leader for the first time, Dawu also knows that this is not the time to be happy. Only by defeating this group of people completely can he fulfill his long-cherished hope.

It is not easy to command the people of each tribe well. Each tribe can only be commanded by the leader of its own tribe, which is still much worse than that of the opposite party with arms.

There are indeed many more people on my side than on the other side, but that is just a simple number. Apart from the dead and injured, there are more than 2000 left, and a few hundred people are sent out to the south to ambush, and some people are left to guard the camp and the embankment to prevent being captured by the city. If more people sneak attack, and some people are left behind, there will be more than 1000 people who can really use it.

With a light cough, he commanded his father for the first time, and said respectfully: "Father, you and your brother are standing here, they will definitely attack our banner with all their might, they will fight to the death, this is the most desperate time , Just like how we train eagles, we have to let them lose their momentum before we can kill them all in one fell swoop."

His elder brother escaped when he was attacked by wolf fur a few nights ago, which caused the camp to be burned. The leaders were quite dissatisfied. At this time, he was commanded by his younger brother and said angrily: "Let us guard here, what are you going to do? Want to consume all of our people here? Yes, my father and our people are dead, and you, Dawu, are the largest tribe on the grassland, what a good idea!"

Dawu gritted his teeth, took a few deep breaths to suppress the anger in his heart, looked at the slightly puzzled leaders, and said as sincerely as possible: "If I, Dawu, think so, let my soul and body rot together after death, and my whole life will be destroyed." Can't get the protection of the spirit of war!"

Then he explained: "Your tribe has the most people, and they are the fiercest. Another tribe will definitely not be able to withstand it. You don't need to stand for too long. As long as their momentum is exhausted, I will lead people to attack their flanks. Did you see? There are nearly 200 people among them, and there are few people on both sides. The people on the two sides must be to prevent us from outflanking. This group of people is not easy to fight. They are not those tribes on the grassland who would disperse as soon as they rushed. Think about it , There are wars in the prairie mountains, but there are times when they are fought for more than ten days? I think about the people in the whole grassland, and I don't think about myself."

"How about this, I sent a hundred clansmen here, is this the head office?"

He made a concession, and the rest of the people stopped saying more, and more or less believed his words.

These people think that this battle is bound to be won, but Dawu knows that this group of people is really difficult to fight. Seeing them walking all the way from the city to here, the army formation is still in order at a distance of several hundred steps, he knows This is completely different from those tribes on the grassland.

Horseback riding is not the only way to fight on the prairie. Horseback riding is only useful when burning, killing, and looting. When fighting in real battles, it is still necessary to rely on dismounted infantry.

In order to prove his own city, Dawu sent some of the strongest fighters in the tribe and some people from the Luoxing tribe to the vicinity of Dazhu, under the command of the old leader, and he led people to harass the flanks on a small scale first, waiting for the opportunity When it comes, take the main force to surround the rear.

Hearing the sound of orderly footsteps on the opposite side, the whole ground trembled, and finally reached a distance of one hundred and fifty steps, Dawu heard a man wearing a feather fur hat on the opposite side yelled a few words he could not understand, and then There was a drumbeat from the opposite side.

In the army formation on the opposite side, Shi Shan understood the sound of the drum, which was a signal to the archers to prepare.

Shi Shan saw that the white horses on both sides and the archers on the side of the acorns stood at the front of the line just like them, and the wolf skin shouted from behind: "Light arrow, shoot!"

Chapter 54 Annihilation

The creaking sound of the bow and the sound of feathered arrows piercing through the air announced the beginning of this decisive battle. Shi Shan pulled the bow behind his ear, and he felt that if he tried harder, the bow would break.

It's a pity that they are not a new army, and they don't know the angle of the throw, so they can only shoot the first round of feather arrows based on their feelings.

The arrow drew an arc in the air and landed in the crowd on the opposite side. Shi Shan couldn't see if he had shot it, but he could see that there were more than a dozen people on the opposite side hit by the arrow in this round of salvo.

After three rounds of feather arrows, the archer on the opposite side got closer and started to shoot back. The drum sounded again, Shi Shan raised his shield, followed the drum sound and walked a few steps forward, and came behind the archer.

After another round of shooting, the archers separated according to their respective teams and returned to their own teams.

One or two 25 people, twelve archers, two five-man hand-to-hand teams, and three people with short swords and shields to block the people behind them.

After throwing the archers, they followed the team in the gaps in the team. Shi Shan walked in the front, holding the shield in front of him, and holding the bronze sword in his right hand. Come, the threat is not too big.

"Forward, ten steps!"

The order came from behind, and the captains of the two teams responded with a signal to indicate that they heard it. Shi Shan glanced at the other teams on both sides, and took ten steps forward to stop.

After the team stopped, the archers immediately drew their bows and shot back. As the attackers, they were already close to the opposite side by dozens of steps.

Shi Shan felt that his shield had been shot by an arrow again, this time it was closer, the arrow went through the rattan and leather, and the arrow made of stone pierced through.

The archers around him no longer fired salvos, but seized the opportunity to shoot directly in the gaps. The heavy arrows were extremely threatening within a distance of dozens of steps.

The drums sounded again, and the whole team moved forward another ten steps. Shi Shan glanced sideways at the opposite side, and he recognized Hamer, the very powerful archer who was shooting against him under the city that day.

Two more people beside him were shot, and they fell behind helplessly. Shi Shan clenched the copper sword tightly, took a deep breath, and knew that an attack was about to be launched.

Sure enough, the battle drum behind him also sounded hurriedly, and the archers seized the opportunity to shoot a round in a hurry. Several feathered arrows flew towards Hammer, but unfortunately they missed. The first row of heavy arrows also became sparse.

"charge!"

An order came from behind, and Shi Shan put his elbows on the shield, shouted loudly, and ran forward at full speed following the feathered arrows shot by the archer.

boom……

Shi Shan's shield slammed into a person's body fiercely, and the opponent's body swayed under the impact at full speed. Shi Shan leaned forward, pierced the opponent's lower abdomen with his dagger, pulled out the dagger and pushed the person down. The five-member team behind him It has also followed up.

Two stone spears came, and Shi Shan's shield was pierced, but he still blocked the thrust from the opposite side. The spearman behind him moved forward, stretched out his spear and pierced the opposite person, and followed Shi Shan with his spear straightened. behind.

It is not the first time that Hamer on the opposite side has seen such a way of fighting. He has seen it before, and he has been thinking about how to deal with this way of fighting these days.

He thought of many ways, but none of them really worked. That required the cooperation of the tribe, but the tribe always relied on courage to fight, and it was impossible to use this method to fight like this group of people.

As a member of the Dawu tribe, he and a group of people from the Luoxing tribe were assigned to the front line, and they were temporarily under the leadership of the old leader.

He was holding a short spear with an iron head and a wooden handle in his hand. He shot and killed the three people on the opposite side. The archers on the opposite side were all bad, but the archers on the opposite side followed the army formation. He still shot when he stopped to cover, and many people died on his side.

When the other side launched a charge, Hammer also rushed out with a dozen people, but just after they met, six of them died beside him.

After experiencing the shame of being scared to run away last time, this time he vowed to wash away his shame, so he didn't care if the people around him were stabbed by the spear again, he pushed aside the spear and rushed to the front of the shield row , was about to pierce towards Shishan's exposed leg, when the sword and shield hand next to him rushed forward immediately, and the short sword stabbed directly at Hammer's left side.

Hamer knew that even if he stabbed the enemy, he would die, so he bent over and dodged backwards, but the spear behind him stuck out again, so he backed up in desperation, taking two steps in a row to avoid those nasty monsters. spear.

Another warrior next to Hammer went around to the side of the opposite team, but those spear-tipped daggers capable of both hooking and stabbing killed the man who managed to rush in.

After seven people died, they rushed to the front of the shield with great difficulty, but because of the cooperation of the other side, they had to retreat again. Hamer was horrified to find that the two and a half steps controlled by the spear might not be able to pass.

These piercing spears and flanking spears, together with the sword and shield in front, form an impenetrable wall, and this wall is constantly advancing!

Unless you kill all the opposing team in one fell swoop, if you can't kill them, you can only start over, every time you advance or retreat, you will die.

Some people from the Meteor tribe beside Hamer had already retreated, and there was another drumbeat from behind, and another group of people rushed over, but the two sides had already fought together, and there was no way to form an impact. The entire battlefield was anxious. , indistinguishable from each other.

Shi Shan tried his best to control his pace, but the teams on both sides tried to be as even as possible, relying on them to cover his side, he killed one in the impact just now, and the spearmen behind him killed five.

Another person rushed over from the opposite side, holding a shield like him, and Shi Shan felt that the shield on the opposite side must have learned the way of his own city.

The prairie tribesman holding the shield stretched out his hand very nimbly, avoided the thrust of the spear, rushed to the side of Shishan, dodged sideways, raised his stone ax and threw it at Shishan's shield, Shishan's shield was damaged, the ax Going down, the shield couldn't bear it at all.

The teammates around him were dealing with others, Shi Shan roared, and leaned towards the opposite body with all his strength. In this kind of close combat, the closer you are, the harder it is for blunt weapons such as axes and hammers to exert force.

The shield was smashed by the stone axe, but the stone mountain was already stuck in front of the opponent, and the shoulder was hit by the opponent's stone axe, but the shield lost some power, which was not too serious. Into the opponent's body protected only by a layer of fur.
