"Anyone who hasn't arrived within ten drums will be killed!"
Red Eyebrow was riding on the horse, his brows were furrowed, and the red eyebrows on his face were even brighter.
The soldiers who pursued last night have not come back until now. In the end, only one of them has been wiped out. The death of thousands of people is extremely rare for the Rong tribe. Moreover, this team is led by Chimei himself. This is not a
It was such a happy thing that Chimei couldn't help but wonder if she was usually too nice to these people.
"Oyamabe!"
"exist!"
"Inugakabe!"
"exist!"
"Yaquanbu!"
"exist!"
"Meng..."
With a shout, a tribal leader agreed. After ten drums were played, more than a dozen Rong tribes, large and small, led by Chimei had arrived.
Last night's fiasco made everyone a little unhappy, with a strong desire to kill someone on their faces.
"Set off!"
The red eyebrows said a word cleanly, and the horses raised their hooves, but the team maintained its own formation without any confusion. The Rong people's riding skills are unparalleled in the world, and the speed of the team is extremely fast.
After a short journey, the team had entered the Qingniu Mountain range.
On Niujiao Peak, the top of a poplar tree is shifted and points to the north.
"Here we are, here we are." Cheng Dalei looked at it carefully and became energetic instantly.
As soon as they arrived at Qingniu Mountain, Chimei's team was blocked. They saw huge trees, rocks, and deep and shallow ditches on the road.
These cannot stop an army of 10,000 people. A team of 10,000 people can fill the trench with a handful of soil each.
With little need for Chimei's orders, someone had already dismounted and started to clear the way ahead. The big trees were moved away, the rocks were removed, and the ditches were filled... Naturally, the team's speed was also slowed down.
In the mountain forest, Cheng Dalei was carrying a big ax on his back, holding a sword in his hand, clenching and unclenching his fists.
"put!"
The archers of the Centurion fired arrows at the same time, and the iron arrows were like rain, shooting from a high place towards the Rong people who were opening the road.
This sudden rain of arrows caught people off guard. In an instant, more than a dozen people were shot and injured. They were so panicked that they didn't react.
"There is an ambush!" Chimei shouted coldly: "Kill them!"
In fact, without Chimei's orders, there were already men from the Rong tribe rushing over with bows, arrows and scimitars.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Cheng Dalei yelled, turned around and fled into the mountain.
The Rong people have unparalleled riding skills and even archery skills. This is considered a racial talent. However, these bandits led by Cheng Dalei actually have no arrow skills at all. They are good if they can draw a bow. What these people are better at is hoes.
, rather than fighting.
Of course, they also have their talents. After living in Qingniu Mountain for so many years, they are already very familiar with the terrain here. Crossing the mountains and ridges is like walking on plain ground for them. As for the Rong people in the mountains... I have never heard of anyone herding sheep and cattle.
Go to the mountains.
A group of people circled around the mountain for a few times before disappearing without a trace. The soldiers sent out by Chimei to pursue them returned without success. The other two people sprained their feet because they ran too fast, and their faces were flushed with pain.
.
It's a little embarrassing and a little embarrassing.
"Keep moving forward and be careful around you!"
The army continued to advance, but the speed of the team was slowed down because of the constant need to clear the way.
"I'm coming!"
Gao Feihu pressed his chest with his palms. He was so close to the Rong clan that he was frightened.
"put!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
The expression on the red eyebrow's face is getting more and more ugly. Due to the geographical convenience, a wave of feather arrows will be released from time to time in the mountains and forests. And these arrow shooters are also extremely hateful. They will release a wave of arrows and then leave. Once discovered by the scouts in advance,
, and definitely had no intention of fighting, so he ran away.
And in the mountains... my own soldiers really can't run fast.
In fact, the casualties were not large. The injury or death of dozens of people was nothing to the team. But this feeling of being shot at by cold arrows at any time was really disgusting.
In this way, the marching speed of the team was greatly slowed down.
But no matter how long the journey is, you will eventually reach your destination.
At dusk three days after Chimei set out, Chimei's soldiers had already entered the center of Qingniu Mountain. He took out a scrawled map and observed the surrounding terrain, then he breathed a long sigh of relief, looked ahead and said: "What I want
It’s right inside!”
The team advanced and turned around. Chimei did not see the valley in his imagination, but instead saw a city wall rising from the ground and lit with torches.
Things are a little different from what I thought. There are so many troops stationed here. Whose soldiers are they?
No matter how many things there are, if you lay down this city gate, those mutations will return to what they should be.
Without stopping for a moment, Chimei ordered the attack on the city.
The empire has been defeated in every battle, and the Rong tribe has been victorious in every battle. Until now, the empire is used to losing, and the Rong tribe is also used to winning.
In the Rong people's perception, the imperial warriors are thin and timid, and the imperial cities are like paper, which will be destroyed without attack if the iron hooves are stepped out.
"The boss...they are coming!"
"So urgent!" Cheng Dalei was also startled, and attacked the city as soon as he came over. Don't they need to rest, recover their strength, or survey the surrounding terrain?
"Get ready, get ready!" Cheng Dalei shouted: "We're going to fight!"
Four trebuchets pushed from behind the team to the front, and as the first stone bomb hit the city wall, the first battle between the two sides began.
Chimei didn't give Cheng Dalei time to breathe and respond, even if he didn't know who his enemy was now. As a certain mountaineer said, the mountain is there, so I have to climb the mountain.
If you ask Chimei, Chimei will definitely say that the city is there, so I want to break it.
"How come they have a trebuchet? How come they have a trebuchet!" Cheng Dalei shouted at the top of the city.
Chimei not only had trebuchets, but also chariots, ladders and other siege equipment. Naturally, they did not make them themselves, but snatched them from King Youzhou.
Using trebuchets as cover, the soldiers rushed towards the city wall, smashed the big wooden doors against the gates, climbed to the top of the city using ladders, and fired their bows and arrows into the sky angrily.
Cheng Dalei gasped: It's hard to defend against it. I thought that the Rong tribe was not good at attacking cities, but it turned out that they attacked the city with such sharpness.
"Let go!" Cheng Dalei yelled angrily.
The heavy crossbows were ready to go, and fifty crossbow arrows were fired towards the city.
The first battle between the two sides was carried out in a state of killing each other. The attack on the city began at dusk and the troops were withdrawn at midnight.
Red Eyebrow did not conquer Toad Stronghold.
During the night, the other party set up camp three miles away from Toad Village, where they could see each other eating and drinking when the troops were actually approaching the city.
Cheng Dalei did not attack at night while the enemy was encamped. He was also busy repairing the city wall, replenishing crossbow arrows, and counting casualties.
Perhaps because I am not good at using trebuchets, some of the stone bullets did not hit the city head, and some flew over the city head. In the end, only one stone bomb hit the city head, injuring seven or eight people.
Personally, no one sacrifices.
But Cheng Dalei knew that this was just the first battle. At best, it was just an appetizer before the war.
