Chapter 1048: Two armies face each other, crushed by weapons
Tuhunhu winked at Wudu Khan, and Wudu Khan rode his horse forward, holding a simple trumpet in his hand, and shouted forward, "Which leader of A'tou is ahead?
Why don’t you come out and meet the leader of this clan first!”
Hearing the other party's shouting, the elder of Ah Tou knew that the other party had probably already noticed the ambush of himself and others! However, the two sides were too familiar with each other, so it was not surprising.
He stood up from behind the hill and shouted in the direction of Wudu Khan and others, "Budu, the great elder of Abdu, has seen the two clan chiefs Tuhunhu and Wudu Khan!"
"Recently, there has been no dispute between our Azou tribe and the Mangbu tribe. I wonder why the two patriarchs came with their troops in person?"
"It turns out to be Great Elder Budu!"
Wudu Khan laughed and responded, "Our two tribes have been fighting for a long time. If the dispute continues, I am afraid it will be in vain and only harm the tribe.
Therefore, the leader of this tribe asks Chief Tuhunhu to come and mediate between our two tribes! As long as your tribe surrenders to our Mangbu tribe, there will naturally be no disputes in the future. Elder Budu, don’t worry, we will treat your tribe well, elders
And the heads of noble clans will also have corresponding rights!"
"Hahaha! Chief Wudu Khan, are you old and confused?
According to what you said, why didn’t your Mangbu tribe submit to our A-Tou?
If so, how about giving up my position as the great elder?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Although you two tribes have joined forces, I am not afraid of a battle! Moreover, we have already asked for help from the Usa tribe. It won't be long before the Usa tribe's army comes.
When the time comes, you suffer defeat, don’t blame us for not cherishing our old friendship.”
Wudu Khan sneered, "Since you are stubborn, let's start a war! I hope you won't regret it!"
"Line up and prepare for battle!"
Although most of the troops under their command are now tribal warriors, Shen Tang has equipped them with a lot of bows and arrows and even catapults! Therefore, they will naturally not be stupid enough to charge and fight like before.
Under Tuhunhu's order, the three thousand troops in front immediately formed a huge square formation. At the front were densely packed shield soldiers, and behind the shield soldiers were all archers! And behind the archers, there were several more
The giant thing gradually stood up.
"attack!"
Three thousand soldiers and horses marched towards the low hill in front of them with neat steps, and their actions made Budu on the opposite side dumbfounded!
This is both a shield and an archer's, what's going on?
They even moved the catapults directly. Isn’t this bullying?
Earlier, when everyone was fighting, they all rushed in front of the opponent and cut them down head-on. Now the opponent's armaments have directly crushed them, what should they do?
"Ji Peng, you lead a thousand men and horses to stand up from the front, wave the battle flag, and let a thousand soldiers and horses on each side attack their flanks! If the attack on both sides is successful, Ji Peng, your soldiers and horses will directly kill them, from
Break the formation head-on!"
The thundering war drums suddenly sounded, and behind Budu, huge battle flags were waving again and again! After Tuhunhu's leading troops marched five or six hundred steps forward, suddenly, the hills on both sides of the front appeared.
The two armies were first showered with arrows, and then the two soldiers and horses rushed towards the phalanx with shouts and shouts.
"Send the order, wait until the enemy has reached 200 steps, fire three rounds of volleys, and then the shield soldiers and spearmen will block the enemy!"
If the arrows on Ah Tou's head were like light rain, then Mangbubu, equipped with a large number of bows and arrows, were like a violent storm! As Ah Tou's men and horses rushed within two hundred steps, the sound of bowstrings suddenly rang out, and the next moment
, arrows that covered the sky and sun rose into the sky.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
Screams rang out from the team in A Tou's head. In just one round of arrows, two to three hundred people fell to the ground dead or injured!
Brush! Brush!
The warriors in Ah Tou charged bravely against the hail of arrows. When the three rounds of arrow rain had completely passed, more than half of the charging people were killed or injured! Fortunately, they had already rushed in front of the opponent, but what greeted them was
It's a long spear with a length of about 10 feet!
The spear was rough, with a long handle made of wood or bamboo. However, facing this rough but densely packed spear, the warrior A Tou fell into final despair.
At this moment, these soldiers and horses in Mangbubu are like hedgehogs, giving people nowhere to bite. If they touch them with all their strength, they will be stabbed!
After another hundred or two hundred people were killed or injured, the people in Ah Tou finally couldn't hold on any longer, and no one knew who dropped their weapons first and ran towards the rear like crazy.
In an instant, the attacking team collapsed in chaos!
"This..." On the mound, the great elder A Touou who was watching the battle was dumbfounded and panicked. Is this still the familiar Mangbu soldiers and horses?
When did they have such terrifying weapons and even learn the battle formations of the Song Dynasty?
In the previous battles, weren't the two sides fighting head-on?
Why is it different this time?
Even though it was not the first time he saw this weapon of war, Tuhunhu was still amazed, "The Central Plains Dynasty has such a terrifying weapon, no wonder our tribes can only live in a corner!"
The old patriarch on the side also nodded slightly, "Yes, the Song Dynasty in the past was powerful because it had invincible weapons.
But now, they not only have invincible weapons, but also invincible heavenly soldiers and invincible generals! This Song Dynasty is so terrifying!"
"What to do next!"
the old patriarch asked.
Tuhunhu waved his hand behind him, "The commander-in-chief has already expected it. Faced with this situation, don't rush to fight them to the death. For the sake of our subordinates, we will attack them with catapults first! This time, several catapults will be used."
The commander-in-chief has assigned us nearly a hundred of them, and although there are many mounds around, quarrying is also very simple! Let the men be on guard, and use the catapult to greet them first!"
Soon, dozens of catapults were lined up in a row, and the elder A Touou who saw this scene from a distance felt a chill in his heart. Could it be that the Mangbu and Yixi tribes were not as powerful as the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty?
Collusion?
Otherwise, how could they have these weapons?
Moreover, is this war between the two races really the same as before?
Looking at the catapult rising in the distance, the great elder took a deep breath and said, "Give me the order, all the troops should spread out and take cover!"
The first tentative attack did not involve a substantial fight with the opponent at all. He lost his troops and was defeated. Now, facing the opponent's attack, he can only avoid its sharp edge!
"put!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
With terrifying force, huge boulders rushed towards the A Tou tribe behind the mound! Although the A Tou tribe had dispersed, this horrifying scene still made people feel frightened.
