The heavy arrows pierced their bodies hard, and the huge force caused them to take several steps back. After three or five arrows, they fell down.
Even the elite gnolls wearing animal bone armor could not stop the armor-piercing arrows at all. The arrows fiercely pierced the animal bone armor and sunk deeply into their flesh.
Moreover, the arrows of the border troops all had barbs on them, making them difficult to pull out. Some gnolls pulled out the arrows because of the severe pain, only to bring out more flesh and blood.
The Bloodfang leader gritted his teeth and watched as batches of gnoll warriors fell into the ditch and filled the river with their bodies.
An hour later, the ditch was finally filled, but there were less than 1,500 Jackal warriors left.
"Human bows and arrows are so powerful. If we fight hard, we will definitely suffer heavy losses..."
The leader of Soaring Snake in the rear pondered slightly, "Let's retreat..."
"This... we didn't even fight. If we retreat like this, how will other tribes view us in the future?" The leader of the Talon hesitated after hearing this.
"What you said makes sense..." The leader of Teng She stopped and looked at Daming's camp, "Then you attack. If the opponent can't stop it, you take advantage of the situation and attack. If the opponent's attack is fierce, we will go back to the forest.
Deal with them..."
"Yes." The leader of the claws put on the rare steel claw gloves, which were the trophies he obtained during a robbery of human territory.
"Follow me..." The leader of the claws roared, and a large number of red gnolls rushed out. They all have one characteristic, that is, their claws are very sharp, and their bodies are much thinner than other gnoll tribes.
More than 10,000 jackals advanced along the road paved by the Bloodfang tribe, facing the rain of arrows and muskets. They ran very fast, faster than the jackals of other tribes, but their protection against the rain of arrows was poor.
too much.
In the blink of an eye, more than 1,000 people were injured.
Seeing the opponent getting closer and closer, Qi Jiguang waved his spear and shouted: "Retreat..."
The leader of the claws waved his claws and cut the arrow rain in two. Suddenly, he saw that the arrow rain in the sky had disappeared. He immediately grinned, "Humans have been scared away by us. Let's rush forward."
Go in..."
The jackal howled suddenly, rushed up to the thick wooden fence, and jumped in. When he looked inside, there were no human beings inside except for the many tents.
"Human beings are so timid. They were scared away by us as soon as we entered..." A jackal captain sneered, and then called his men to open the village door.
Then a large group of gnolls broke into the camp and broke into many tents to look for humans.
At this time, Leader Claw and Leader Bloodfang walked in together.
"This is the powerful human you are talking about. Didn't we come in easily?" The leader of Sharp Claw glanced at the leader of Blood Fang with disdain. There were only a thousand jackals left, and its value was getting smaller and smaller.
"Hmph, if I hadn't consumed so many of their troops last time, do you think you could have come in?" The Bloodfang leader ignored the claws and led his men to rummage through the boxes, hoping to plunder some supplies to make up for the losses of his tribe.
In the southern camp of the Ming Dynasty, everyone gathered together and watched the numerous jackals from the northern camp searching around. Some had already seen the southern camp and were about to run towards them, but were shot back by the frontier army shooters.
"It's a pity that not all of them came in..." Hua Rong, who was standing on the watchtower, shook his head sadly.
"Commander, do we need to wait and see..." Qi Jiguang frowned and looked at Beida Camp.
"Forget it, let's fire the fireballs. They've almost exhausted all the fire oil and wine in the camp..." Qin Feng shook his head helplessly. He just saw a few jackals looking up to drink. It was obvious that
They do not have a post-war distribution system.
"Yes." Qi Jiguang stood on the watchtower and waved his arms.
Under the watchtower, rows of catapults began to prepare. Under the command of each general flag, a large number of kerosene bombs were thrown out, and fell into the Beida Camp in the doubtful eyes of the jackals.
Scattered like a meteor shower in various places in the camp, a large ball of flames suddenly ignited. The fire oil and wine in the tent were immediately ignited, and a larger sea of fire suddenly broke out.
In an instant, the entire Beida Camp turned into a large furnace, and the flames inside swept away all living things.
The Bonechewer leader outside the camp immediately opened his eyes wide, "These humans are so cunning, they actually set fire to their own camp. The two leaders Bloody Fang and Sharp Claw are probably also in trouble..."
The leader of Soaring Snake sighed, turned around and walked back, "The Bloody Fang and Sharp Claw tribes are finished. Let's go back to the forest. Once there, our world will be ours..."
The Bone-Eating leader hurriedly followed the Soaring Snake leader and left. The fierce fire behind them kept shining on their departing figures.
The roar of the flames and the howls of the jackals formed a hellish world of despair before us. The heavy rain of the past few days had just passed, and it would take a long time for the next heavy rain. This fire was destined to burn for a long time.
"Captain, look, our reinforcements are coming..." Hua Rong shouted excitedly, pointing to the sea, where warships were approaching one after another.
"Well..." The corners of Qin Feng's mouth raised slightly, and the figure of the Ming Dynasty fleet appeared in his eyes. The 20,000 Yuzhou Island troops plus the mixed army here should be enough to deal with the remaining jackals...
Soon, groups of soldiers stepped off the transport ships and warships, and began to set up camps under the orders of various commanders. Along with them came Taoist Liuyun's strategic mage team.
They are mainly responsible for reforming a group of 20,000 Yuzhou Island soldiers and preventing them from rebelling.
"Captain..." Taoist priest Liu Yun came to the South Camp and saluted Qin Feng, and then told him a message, "The envoys of the Dark Lord are here, and they want to see you..."
Although Qin Feng was surprised that the Night Grand Guild of the Sanforth Federation was looking for him, he didn't care much about it. At this time, the Tenglong Kingdom already had the ability to protect itself, and it also had a one-year protection period from the Mages Association.
If the Duke of Dark Night comes to fight, Qin Feng will definitely fight against him at this time.
"Why did they send the envoy?" Qin Feng led Taoist priest Liuyun towards the camp. It was getting hotter and muggier outside because of the fire.
"They want to deal with Duke Baiyin with us..." Taoist priest Liuyun sat on a chair nearby.
"Oh..." Qin Feng nodded thoughtfully. Fights between nobles happened from time to time, but it was not very common to win over other countries to fight against one's own hostile forces.
"What price are they prepared to pay?" Qin Feng brought tea and drank it. Then he waved his hand and the guards around him also brought tea to Taoist Priest Liuyun.
"They said they would do business with us..." Taoist Liuyun took a sip of tea.
Qin Feng suddenly sneered, "This is because I don't want to pay any price, but I want to gain benefits..."
Knocking on the armrest of the chair rhythmically, Qin Feng raised his head and thought for two seconds, "The last time I passed by the Kingdom of Night, there were two Night Fleets there. One of them was quite arrogant. I guess it was someone else pretending to be him."
The tapping movement on his hand stopped immediately, his body relaxed slightly, and he leaned back on the chair, "In view of the purpose of sending the envoy, it seems that the people pretending to be them are people from the Silver Principality. If we want to do business with them, we must leave
On land and sea, we will definitely encounter the plunder of the Silver Principality fleet, so this battle must be fought..."
"But..." Qin Feng raised the corner of his mouth, "They don't know that we have established a foothold in the Dark Forest. As long as we can open the road between the forests, we can directly border the Dark Lord of the Night, without having to go to the sea to trade with them."
"Tell them that we agree to trade, but we must send troops together to deal with the Baiyin Principality..." Qin Feng lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Let them wait for a while..."
The main reason is that the current fleet is insufficient. Zheng Zhilong's fleet needs to take care of two islands and is dwarfed by comparison. The pirates captured by Deng Zilong have not yet been reformed, and their fleet is also being transformed, which will take time.
Moreover, even if the territory of the Silver Principality is conquered, will the Sanfors Federation agree? Not only will the Night Grand Guild turn against itself, but other nobles will also launch an attack, so... Qin Feng slowly raised his head, his eyes flashing,
I need more soldiers, more battleships...
Either don't fight, or destroy all those who resist...
"Tell their envoy that I am very busy now and will see him again later, but I can tell him what I just meant..." Qin Feng turned his head slightly and looked at Taoist Liuyun.
"Yes, Governor, I will inform Governor Chang Yuchun later..." Taoist Liuyun nodded slowly while holding tea.
"Well, now that you are here, our strength has become stronger. We are just going to open the passage to the Principality of Dark Night..." Qin Feng said with a smile.
The sky gradually dimmed, and the flames of the Beida Camp had just extinguished. The rat-man White Fang led many rat-men into the ruins impatiently. They could not wait to have a big meal.
The soldiers from Qunyuzhou Island had just built a camp next to the South Camp. They hated the sweltering heat here. Fortunately, there were enough Taoist priests here, and they used some small magic to drive away the mosquitoes, rats, and ants around them.
The rat man White Fang sent his guards to find the two jackal leaders. It was greedy for their flesh and blood. It wanted to evolve to be as powerful as Qin Feng and others.
"Rat King, we found it, but it's almost burned out..." A rat guard came to White Fang and reported.
"Quickly lead the way..." White Fang said nothing and let him lead the way. He knew the nature of these rat people. They would definitely eat them secretly. If he arrived late, he would have nothing.
With these rat men cleaning up, the burned camp was quickly cleaned up. Qi Jiguang led some soldiers to continue building the Beida Camp. This place will be used as a new base and will be provided for businessmen to stay in the future.
At this time, a jackal scout poked his head out of the forest. After investigating for a while, he quietly retreated into the forest.
It carefully retreated a few hundred meters before turning around and running deeper into the forest. It wanted to report the presence of human reinforcements to its leader.
At this time, a crossbow arrow flew out from the bushes on the side, crossed a distance of tens of meters and landed on the lap of the Jackal scout, and then around it, a group of human assassins wearing black stealth suits appeared instantly.
