It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 174

Qingniu Mountain, Toad Village.

Cheng Dalei walked in the cottage, checking the defense and logistics.

The real war can't be as imagined, and the first confrontation with the northern barbarians has actually exposed many problems. The physical strength and will to fight of a single soldier cannot be compared with the soldiers of the northern barbarian department. After all, Cheng Dalei only controls a group of bandits, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with them being a rabble.

Give Cheng Dalei a little more time, Cheng Dalei may not be able to train them into a forbidden elite. In this era when the quality of soldiers is generally not high, even if there are only 2,000 soldiers, it is enough to sweep most of the territory.

Unfortunately, there is no time.

The so-called war, how can you start when everything is ready. If really everything is ready, you go and beat someone else.

Cheng Dalei was wearing the official uniform awarded by the King of Youzhou, with a big axe on his back, a sword on his waist, and three seals jingling around his waist.

He walked in the cottage in such a dress, and he would call him "the scum of the Rong tribe", and he would say "to exterminate the beasts".

When the soldiers in the cottage saw Cheng Dalei like this, even though they thought he was a little exaggerated, they could not help but think in their hearts: Maybe the big boss really has a certain chance of winning.

Everyone has already played against the Rong tribe, and their timidity is slightly reduced. In the battle, everyone knows that the Rong tribe is not invincible. They are also flesh and blood, and a crossbow arrow can bring them down.

Morale is accumulated in such a state.

As for whether he could defeat the Beiman tribe, Cheng Dalei was actually beating drums in his heart. He was sleeping at night, or discussing the next battle with Xu Shenji, Liu Bei, and Huang Sanyuan, or inspecting the city defense, all he did was to win these two words.

dong dong dong

The rapid sound of war drums came from the direction of the city gate, and instantly rang all over the valley.

"The big boss, the Rong clan has come to attack the city again."

"Come again!" Cheng Dalei was also a little speechless. It has not been two days since the last confrontation, and he will come again soon. Should the Rong family be so dedicated.

"Go up the city wall, go up to the city wall." Cheng Dalei shouted, and there was no other way, but the soldiers came to block it, and the water came to cover it.

Moreover, Cheng Dalei knew that the Beiman tribe didn't get any benefit last time, and they rushed over to kill them in such a hurry. They must have a certainty of victory, or they already felt that they could conquer the Toad Village.

The soldiers of the Toad Village went up to the top of the city, and saw a group of people pouring in from the direction of the northern barbarian camp.

"Master, look at it!"

Xu Shenji pointed into the distance.

Cheng Dalei had already seen that at the forefront of the team were not the soldiers of the Rong tribe, but... civilians.

They were the commoners of the empire. They were old and young, male and female. Cheng Dalei saw the old man with a withered face, and also saw the seven or eight-year-old Huangkou child.

They were strung together by hemp ropes. At a glance, there were thousands of people. The Rong cavalry waving their braids behind them drove them away. Anyone who dared to turn back would be shot through the heart.

Those who suffer, those who plead, and those who cannot afford to kneel, cannot escape the fate of being driven out.

They naturally knew what the Rong tribe wanted them to do, but they also understood that their fate today was no different from that of pigs and dogs.

It is impossible for the scimitars of the Rong tribe to grant them forgiveness, so they can only move forward, hoping that the people of the empire in front will reward them with mercy.

"Save us, save us."

"Let's go in, please."

All kinds of voices intertwined and rang together under the city head.

"These beasts used refugees to storm the city!"

"Master, what should I do?"

Cheng Dalei pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand, and the veins in the corners of his eyes jumped violently.

In fact, Cheng Dalei had three axes, and the Rong tribe also had three axes in battle. The first axe is to slaughter the city: surrender quickly. If we don't surrender, we will slaughter the city. Many cities were destroyed by them like this. The problem is that even if they do surrender, they will slaughter the city.

The second axe was to use the refugees to rush into the city, blocking the empire's powerful bows and crossbows with the flesh and blood of the refugees, causing the defenders to panic and taking the opportunity to break the city.

The third axe was a strong attack. Because the soldiers were not afraid of death, few cities could resist their strong attack.

Cheng Dalei had already inquired about these things in advance, so it was not that he did not know. But knowing is one thing, actually confronting it is another.

At this moment, thousands of refugees rushed over, and they were close to the shooting range of the city head crossbow arrow. Cheng Dalei could clearly see their faces.

Look into their faces, look into their eyes, are you brave enough to kill them? Kill the same life as you?

Cheng Dalei did not have the courage.

But some things are not without courage.

"Release the arrow." Cheng Dalei pulled out his sword and swung it down heavily.

He pulled the trigger and shot the first heavy arrow himself. He looked at the direction the arrow was shot from, and at the body that the crossbow arrow had passed through. The terrified expression before death, the wide-open eyes, the blood gushing from the body.

Cheng Dalei wanted to see these things clearly and remember them, although he didn't want to remember them.

"put!"

"put!"

"put!"

The crossbow arrows are like rain, and they can penetrate a horse at three hundred paces.

Beep, received a fear value of 999

Beep, received a fear value of 999

Beep, received a fear value of 999

...

Cheng Dalei's fear value was soaring. The crossbow arrows fired from the city head destroyed the last hope of the refugees. It was the fear of dying. Some people were so scared that they didn't say a word, while others shouted loudly. Shouting: Save the child, save my child!

Fear and hatred accumulated in Cheng Dalei, he said nothing, gritted his teeth, and directed the arrows to be fired.

The northern barbarians launched a charge.

The last time it was a test, this time it was a strong attack. The Beiman Department thought they could conquer the Toad Village, so the momentum of the siege was far greater than the last time.

The head of the city was breached several times, the city wall was smashed by trebuchets, and the Toad Village was like a fishing village in a storm, at stake.

But perhaps it was because of the shooting of the refugees that the Shanzhai of Toad Village erupted with an unprecedented will to fight. The Rong tribe who climbed to the top of the city by means of a cloud ladder were thrown down. Xu Shenji led people to rush to repair the city wall. A group of Rong tribe rushed to the city gate. When they hit the door with heavy wood, they were entertained by the rolling wood and the falling from the city head. kerosene.

"Chimei, we have died too many people, let the soldiers withdraw." Tuoman.

Chi-brow frowned, he didn't want to withdraw, after all, the casualties were too great, but he could also see that the soldiers were crowded under the city, and they were greeted by large-scale deaths.

"Retreat...retreat." Chimei's hand was weakly swung down.

In the second battle, Chimei did not defeat the Toad Village.

The city walls that have been bathed in blood donation and war, the air is filled with a turbid smell. There were mountains of corpses piled up under the city head, and the blood pooled into a small stream, flowing to the low-lying places.

This battle made Cheng Dalei truly feel the cruelty of the war, and through this battle, his fear value reached one million.
