A team of nearly a hundred people marched on the winding mountain road.

Dozens of barbarian soldiers in the team were particularly conspicuous. They were barefoot and carried bamboo crossbows on their waists. Each of them held a door panel in their hands. Their toughness was clearly revealed in their marching behavior. The Han soldiers who were walking with them were full of energy.

Shen Ze was obviously inferior. Although the queue during the march was relatively orderly, the nervousness and uneasiness on the faces of the soldiers could not be concealed.

If the barbarian soldiers have the temperament of elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles, then these Han soldiers are obviously new soldiers who are just starting out.

This is indeed the case.

This team is naturally the troops prepared by Zhulu Leader to attack the level 8 mountain stronghold.

The troops marched very quickly.

The Taoist warriors grew up in the mountains and fields, fighting lions and tigers, or fighting barbarian soldiers of various ethnic groups. Mountain marching is a common occurrence for them, as natural as breathing. They can easily adapt to mountain marching, which is not surprising at all.

Surprise. However, the soldiers of the Zhulu Leader, who had just been formed for a few days, were marching at a very fast speed without sufficient training, which really surprised people.

During the break, the leader of the Qinggu tribe praised these recruits without hesitation.

Yu Buzhi just smiled politely and said nothing.

He knows his own business, and the reason why the Zhulu soldiers performed well in marching is not because of their special talents, but because Xu Shu led the team. The "road-opening" characteristic makes the army not affected by the terrain. The more difficult the marching conditions are, the more "road-opening"

"The easier it is for characteristics to reflect value.

Old Lin Yun has not yet returned to his territory, and Xu Shu went out with the team, which shows that Yu Buzhi attaches great importance to this battle.

This time the opponent was a tough nut to crack, and all the leaders came out.

The Level 8 cottage is located due north of Dianjiang County, not far from the border between Chongguo County and Danqu County. This also requires the troops to travel a long distance. Even with the bonus of Xu Shu's characteristics, the Zhulu Army copied a lot of mountains and fields.

It took more than two hours to reach the foot of the mountain village.

After the entire army rested for half an hour, the Zhulu Army officially launched its operation.

Qin Di quickly completed the arrangement of the arrow tower array.

The modified Mohist arrow tower has no obvious changes in appearance, but its performance has been fully strengthened and improved. All key data have fully met Qin Di's expectations: the range has doubled, the power has increased by 50%, and the firing frequency has been reduced from 1 second to 0.8 seconds.

.This kind of improvement is very amazing. Everyone who has seen the test firing after the modification of the arrow tower has full confidence in this instrument.

After the transformation, the name of the arrow tower changed accordingly: Mohist Arrow Tower (Jing).

When Qin Di selected the location of the arrow tower, the magic soldiers and Zhulu recruits also started to take action.

Everyone accepted Xu Shu's command, and the soldiers' attitude towards Xu Shu was also submissive.

On the eve of departure, Xu Shu hoped to discuss with the people the tactics to be used in different situations.

Dujie and others initially disagreed with this.

According to people's customary understanding, fighting is about bravery and martial skills.

Whoever has good martial arts skills and is not afraid of death in battle will win.

Tactics?

What it is?

A brave man never fights with tactics!

The people lacked willingness to cooperate, and Xu Shu was not angry. He invited the people to make a bet and conduct a deduction confrontation: both sides had similar military strength and random terrain conditions. The people could choose to play the attacking or defending side to see who would win.

Dujie, who has rich combat experience, is happy to leave and prepares to teach young Xu Shu a good lesson.

However, the patriarch of the Qinggu tribe was brutally tortured by Xu Shu in various ways and by various means. He lost ten battles in a row. The best result was only to lose one-third of Xu Shu's troops. When Dujie ended the battle, his face was pale. The poor patriarch

I even have some doubts about life: Are the stories of bravery and war passed down from our ancestors true?

After this incident, people admired Xu Shu so much that they fell into admiration.

Mercenaries have the obligation to accept the instructions of their employer. Xu Shu is the leader introduced by the employer. People will accept Xu Shu's command and control. But Xu Shu's amazing commanding talent will make people obey from the bottom of their hearts in battle.

Not hesitation and doubt.

When Xu Shu asked the people to hand over the boards to the warriors chasing deer, the people did so without saying a word.

This is the result Xu Shu hopes to see.

The arrow tower array is facing the way down the mountain.

Zhulu led 50 soldiers and 1 transferred general, and they were divided into three groups. Wang Xun led the first group of 16 soldiers, each holding a wooden frame, and stood on both sides of the mountain road.

The Taoist warriors climbed to nearby trees one after another, took off their bamboo crossbows, and aimed at the intersection going down the mountain.

After a while, the old ranger appeared on the mountain road, followed by a large group of deserters.

Yu Buzhi frowned secretly. When attacking a level 5 cottage, he usually only attracted more than 30 deserters. At this time, there were no less than a hundred deserters at a glance. The level 8 cottage had too many troops.

More than a hundred deserters swarmed in, creating a momentum of their own.

The soldiers chasing deer on both sides of the road were ordinary people a few days ago. They had never seen such a scene before. They were all so nervous that they were sweating. But now fear was of no use. The soldiers waited silently for orders.

The old ranger ran past the soldiers like a breeze.

Xu Shu shouted: "Feng!"

Wang Yan roared angrily, and took the lead to rush out carrying the door panel. He put the door panel on the road, hid his body behind the door panel, held the handshake behind the door panel tightly with both hands, stood in a lunge, and pressed his shoulders firmly.

Hold the door panel to prevent the enemy from easily breaking through.

Other soldiers competing for the deer followed suit one after another and followed suit.

Within a few breaths, more than a dozen gates blocked the mountain road.

The deserters encountered the Banzhao wall and began to attack the Banzhao.

However, the mountain road was narrow, and the number of deserters who could reach the wooden frame was limited. Moreover, some of the deserters were pushed by their companions behind them, and their whole bodies were pushed against the door panel. It was difficult to stand still. How could they cut down the door panel comfortably?

The arrow tower array began to spit out arrows.

The magic soldiers who climbed up the trees were also condescending and used bamboo crossbows to harvest the lives of deserters.

The number of deserters decreased rapidly.

This is due to the transformation of the arrow tower; it is also due to Xu Shu letting Zhulu's new soldiers block the road, freeing the Jin people's magic soldiers from close combat, and giving full play to the long-range strength of the Jin people (Ji people are good at crossbow shooting); and it is even more beneficial to Xu Shu.

Another feature: "Strike Strategy", which greatly increases the attack power of the entire army.

A few minutes later, all the deserters were killed by random arrows.

People climbed down easily from the trees one after another and took the time to recover the crossbow arrows.

The mercenaries were generally satisfied. They had experienced hundreds of battles and had never been so relaxed.

The more than ten deer-chasing soldiers blocking the road were panting like cattle, and they were obviously very tired.

Under the protection of the planks, only two soldiers were stabbed by weapons that unfortunately passed through the gaps between the planks, and no one was killed. This result greatly enhanced the soldiers' self-confidence. When the exhausted Wang Xun and others were allowed to go down

During the break, the tension of the second group of soldiers who took over from them was significantly relieved.

A smile appeared on Xu Shu's lips: New recruits need to go through such training.

Not long after, another group of deserters were lured down.

Block the road, encircle and suppress it with arrows, recover the arrows, and use a new group of people to block the road...

The same process continued until no more deserters were recruited and led down the mountain.
Chapter completed!
