The sound of drums and trumpets instantly echoed through the peaceful river beaches and valleys.
"Let's go, drive~~"
The moment the drums sounded, Xu Chen knocked on his horse's belly and led a group of cavalry straight to the upper reaches of the Jicang River.
"Come out, drive~"
"Drive~drive~~"
Feng Ye knew that the matter was urgent, so he and Xu Chen dispersed almost at the same time, leading a cavalry group into the valley on the side, roaring and whipping wildly.
Amidst the sound of horns and thunderous drums, the sound of galloping horse hooves shook the mountains and fields, densely packed like thunder touching the ground, and it felt like the entire valley was shaking slightly.
The sudden movement caused the teams fighting in both directions to pause for a moment, and a burst of howling cheers erupted in an instant.
"His Majesty the Witch King issues an order, Chong Ga!"
Dragon, who was fighting a group of savage tribesmen wearing furs and oil paints four or five miles upstream near the foot of the mountain, excitedly raised his thick spear, roared like a prehistoric monster and rushed into the mountain forest that blocked the sky, facing a group of savages.
The fleeing savages charged.
The two groups of cavalry also excitedly waved their spears and bows and arrows to chase each other. The arrows flew everywhere in the woods and hit the thick tree trunks with an aggressive sound.
“#￥@……”
A group of strange savages wearing furs and holding simple sticks and spears were running away howling in the woods on a gentle slope.
No more spears, no more sticks, because holding them in your hands completely affects your ability to escape.
In a panic, some people bumped into trees, some hit rocks, some tripped over thorns and rocks, and their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. Some were even frightened and stood there dumbly with frightened faces. What's more,
The patient's legs were shaking and he peed one leg.
They never expected that they were just preparing to sneak attack on a nearby tribe, but as soon as they sneaked down from the mountain forest, they saw a group of terrifying humans riding beasts and dressed in weird costumes, surrounding them with strange weapons.
Facing such a violent beast-riding army that suddenly descended from the sky, these savages were overwhelmed as soon as they came face to face with them, or in other words, they collapsed the moment they faced them.
"Escape from Ga, beat Ga~~"
Facing this group of savages who were completely frightened and stunned, the two teams of cavalry launched a manic beating mode without any mercy. Those who escaped were naturally shot to the ground with arrows, while those who caught up were directly shot with long spears and short spears.
Knocked to the ground hard.
Although these savages were also very savage, they had never encountered such a terrifying opponent. In fact, they had already dispersed in chaos before the drums even sounded.
And when the horns and drums sounded, the cavalry became even more violent as if they had been beaten to death. They were also completely frightened by the sudden sound of trumpets and drums, as well as the sound of horse hooves and roars from far away.
With cracks in their bodies, some of them simply stood with their heads bent among the weeds and thorns, sticking out their dark buttocks and shivering.
Although the horses are faster, after all, they are in the mountains and forests, and the terrain is very complicated, which is not conducive to the charge of war horses. Therefore, there are still many savages fleeing, and the chasing area is also expanding. It only takes less than ten minutes to cover a radius of two or three miles.
The gentle slope of the river beach was already in chaos. There were fur savages who had been shot or knocked to the ground everywhere. They were wailing and rolling or lying on the ground crying.
When Xu Chen led his men to the foot of the mountain and heard people roaring and horses neighing all over the mountains and plains, he quickly ordered the drums to be stopped and the bugle sounded to close the team.
It wasn't that he was worried about not winning, but that he was worried about unnecessary casualties due to the complicated situation in the mountains and forests.
According to his guess, this group of savages might have come to sneak attack on the tribe in the valley not far downstream.
After all, I also got some information from my inquiries a few days ago, and the two tribes are at war.
However, these guys were unlucky. As soon as they arrived secretly, they met Xu Chen and others.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.
In fact, when faced with this pure cavalry team that appeared for the first time, the opponent was not even a brave man, and it collapsed the moment they met.
As the horn sounded to withdraw troops, the chasing officers in the mountains and forests also yelled and started to withdraw their troops. Soon the chaotic movement slowly subsided. Soon, two or three cavalry were seen waving spears and bows and attacking groups of troops.
The savages who were embarrassed, frightened, and even bleeding and howling were driven out.
When Long saw Xu Chen, he rushed forward excitedly and clasped his fists.
"Your Majesty the Witch King, we have captured many gars and escaped a lot. We can still chase them!"
"Chase ga, chase ga!" Many hunters seemed to be dissatisfied and shouted loudly.
Xu Chen shook his head and said seriously: "Don't chase the enemy when you are poor. The mountain forest is complex and not conducive to cavalry fighting. Fighting has already started in the valley below. The situation is unclear at the moment. Long quickly led the second team to support. I will take care of it here!"
"Are you going to fight?" Long and a group of hunters were shocked.
"Yes, these people should be sneak attackers. They have been dispersed now. Let them go for the time being. Go quickly!"
"Follow the order, Team 2, get out!!"
Long clasped his fists and turned around, roaring, leading a group of hunters and running wildly downstream, abandoning the captives all over the ground.
After a moment, tranquility returned to the mountains and forests.
A group of savages wearing furs squatted on a river beach near the foot of the mountain.
The origin of this group of savages is unknown. They number about thirty people, quite a lot, and they are all strong and strong. However, they are too frightened. They squatted on the ground like quails with their heads in their hands and trembled. They did not dare to look at Xu Chen.
Wait for someone to take a look.
It's so scary, these people suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Riding tall and ferocious beasts, wearing strange animal skin clothes, and holding strange bent wooden stick weapons in their hands. Although some of them were holding more familiar spears, the one in the hand of a leader who looked like a giant bear was the one who led the group.
A giant spear with a gleaming golden tip capable of crushing large rocks in one blow.
Although they have now confirmed that this is a group of humans, in the legends and knowledge of their tribe, there has never been such a terrifying human race.
If possible, they would rather face tigers or even dragon beasts than face such a ferocious enemy riding beasts.
It’s not that you can’t win, it’s that you really can’t win.
When the two groups of people met head-on, the outcome of the battle was decided.
Because when you have to look up to see the enemy, there is no suspense in this battle at all. Several people were scared to death on the spot, and they were all the most powerful and brave hunters in the tribe.
But fortunately, although these people are terrifying, they don't seem to kill people randomly. There were almost no deaths in this battle, only more than a dozen were injured, and most of them were injured because they ran away in fear, and the only ones who were actually injured were
There were four or five people, and the heaviest guy among them was shot in the butt by an arrow, and his buttocks were covered with blood.
This group of people did not understand the language and could hardly communicate. Xu Chen asked a few questions but did not get any answers. At the same time, he was also worried about the fighting situation in the downstream valley, so he ordered the officers of the Muya tribe to escort and drive away these savages with a group of cavalry.
Walking back, he took Gu Ju and a group of other hunters and headed straight for the downstream valley.
Twenty minutes later, when he rushed to the valley to join Feng Helong, Heng and others, the battle in the valley had long ended.
In fact, just when Xu Chen ordered Feng to lead a group of people into the valley to provide assistance, Heng led a group of cavalry to a cave in the valley. By the time Feng arrived, they had already taken control of the cave.
As for Long Xing, who was preparing to join the battle on both sides, he rushed in with a group of cavalry, and the battle had already begun to end.
By the time Xu Chen arrived, three teams of cavalry had driven a large group of men, women, and children wearing furs to the foot of the mountain and squatted in an open space.
Just as the Ji clan had inquired and speculated in advance, the tribe was not large in size, with a total of about a hundred people, and many of the men among them were injured. Some of them were injured in the battle just now, but more
It's an old wound.
These men, women, old and young were all huddled together and squatting on the ground shivering. The situation was worse than the group of savages just now, especially some women and children, who had never experienced such a violent and terrifying war, not to mention such a group of riding wild beasts and fully armed.
A fierce enemy that you can’t understand.
As for the man, he was also frightened to the point of being shattered.
Originally, they had been attacked by another powerful tribe recently and lost a lot of manpower. In the past few days, they had tightened their defenses and did not dare to go hunting. They stayed in the tribe to guard against sneak attacks from the hostile tribe. However, they did not want to wait for the enemy tribe to arrive, but instead waited for a
A more terrifying unknown enemy.
Even though all the prisoners have been captured now, their minds are still blank and confused. In panic and helplessness, they can't figure out where these ferocious and strange enemies come from.
You must know that they have lived here for hundreds of years, and the range upstream and downstream for half a day or even a day is very clear. Except for the two well-known tribes, there is no news about this beast-riding tribe at all.
But they couldn't figure it out, but they ignored the horse's traveling speed.
When Xu Chen came here, he had already roughly estimated that it was at least eighty miles from the Ji clan to here.
This distance is indeed only three to four hours and half a day for horseback riding, but for exploring on foot, it takes at least two to three days, and you have to go all out.
Because the more unfamiliar the place, the slower the travel speed. No one will cover their head and run to an unknown place. The further away from the tribe, the more unknown and dangerous they will face, especially if they spend the night in the wild.
Not being able to find a safe cave without being familiar with the situation is almost like committing suicide.
Faced with these frightened barbarians, Xu Chen actually didn't have a good way to communicate. He could only ask a few of the older men and women with feathers and tattoos on their heads to call out and start communicating with the exaggerated body language common to barbarians.
.
After some difficult gestures, and a group of hunters consulting and guessing at the side, after half an hour, they had somewhat figured out some information about the tribes and their surroundings.
