Chapter 6, First Battle (3)
That is the voice of Qi Tianyou
A voice filled with cruelty emerged from Qi Tianyou's cold tone: "Prepare to charge... annihilate them all!"
Their mission is to conduct lateral penetration, execute cross-attacks, disrupt the connections of the Bear Clan warriors, and establish a strategic advantage of attacking the whole while focusing on the parts
"To be precise, they are the most formidable soldiers I have ever encountered in terms of individual combat capability, as well as the most valiant warriors. The fact that Lei Huo and I managed to return alive... was purely due to luck," said Qianshui Qingjie.
Ah! ... ... A fierce and towering warrior of the bear tribe, with at least a dozen arrows embedded in his body, kneels unwillingly on the ground, his eyes bulging as he stares intently ahead
They wielded massive blades, unleashing a torrent of murderous intent, shouting and charging forward, as if the great flow of the universe was surging towards the convoy.
Qī Tiānyòu's face once again displayed a look of surprise. After observing Qiān Shuǐqīng for a while, he finally said: "You always manage to bring me surprises"
This colossal entity has finally collapsed to the ground at this moment
Because they are inherently arrogant and disregard military discipline. They only submit to the strong and disdain the qualities of the collective. It is said that they send children who have just turned ten to the most dangerous places on the grasslands, and only those who return alive are recognized as their kin. The Bear Tribe has over 10,000 members, with only about 2,000 adult men, yet all of them are the bravest warriors. Every year, they launch attacks against us to seize food. Sometimes, they succeed. But this time, they will surely fail
... ...
Kill! All the knights jointly let out this earth-shattering roar
The axe thrower bit down on his lower lip, with thick chains coiled around his wrist, poised and ready to strike
Steel plates shattered like wooden blocks, deforming and collapsing
The large foot rises and then steps down
The wounded warrior let out a thunderous roar, and with unyielding force, the giant foot came crashing down, stepping on the wrist of Qingshui and then pressing down on his chest. The coarse, sharp toes of the foot brutally crushed against Qingshui's chest, as if trying to squeeze out his very organs.
Thank you, you saved me
All grain trucks are specially modified. The vehicle body is equipped with a pull board; with a simple pull, the grain can be dumped onto the ground. The vehicle body is reinforced with steel plates, which can be raised to form a shield. When the vehicle bodies are connected, a temporary defensive system in the form of a vehicle formation is completed
The bear clan warriors are fierce and robust, with thick skin and strong muscles, giving them a significant advantage in close combat. Their only weakness is that there are too few of them
Looking at the clear shallow water, Qi Tianyou said slowly, "Regardless of the past, present, or future, the warriors of the Bear Clan are indeed strong, but they have never truly defeated us. Do you know why that is?"
First, they have too few personnel. Second, they lack reasonable troop composition and tactical proficiency. Apart from charging recklessly, they are incapable of anything else
The archer is ready! Release! Mu Xue let out a piercing cry
The bear warriors, bathed in iron and fire, gaze down upon the land beneath them with a wild and savage disdain, causing the world to tremble in response
A taller and stronger warrior of the bear tribe, pierced by five arrows, still fought valiantly. After shattering the shield of a swordsman and smashing his skull, and then knocking away a heavy infantryman, he was finally pierced through the chest by seven soldiers wielding long spears. He opened his eyes in anger and fell down, unwilling to accept his fate, while the massive club in his hand continued to gleam with a blood-red brilliance
The sword-and-shield soldiers, wielding steel swords and iron shields, stand firmly beside the archers to protect their comrades
In the center of the battlefield, Qian Shuiqing closely followed behind Qi Tianyou. The crescent moon spear, carrying immense momentum, shone like a meteor, ruthlessly reaping lives amidst the dazzling silver light
At this moment, the howling bear clan warriors are drawing ever closer to the convoy
No, it is excitement.
"Do not speak foolishly, do not forget that this is a battlefield; your comrades and weapons are your only trustworthy companions! Kill!" Qi Tianyou shouted angrily, continuing to thrust his spear forward in an assault.
This time, he finally retreated after feeling the pain
Within the convoy, there is a vast expanse of blood-red sea
That is good
They are wasting their physical strength in vain
The body, tumbling like a wheel, spun rapidly in the air before landing heavily on the ground. Looking up, he saw the formidable bear warrior, who had struck down a horse with his fist, approaching him with a commanding stride.
"Are you scared?" Qi Tianyou asked
He smiled slightly and said, "You make a valid point. Perhaps one day, when you become a general, you will find a way to utilize them. However, for now, there is only one thing we must do... kill them"
The strength of the Bear Clan warriors is immense, and the life of the Bear Clan warriors is resilient
Once again, a cascade of blood suddenly appeared among the crowd, as a new recruit archer, unable to retreat, was radiating the final light of his life.
They are the best warriors. Looking ahead, Qi and Tushutianyou said coldly
One thousand elite cavalry divided into two teams, charging from the left and right sides towards the center of the bear tribe warriors
The wounded warrior swung his fists in a frenzy, striking the head of the galloping warhorse.
Ah! Qianshui Qingkuang shouted, turning around and delivering a kick that struck the soldier right in his vital area
The entire convoy was suddenly engulfed in a storm of blood and carnage
The vast expanse of the long wilderness is pierced by a sharp cry that cuts through the clouds and splits the sky
That single punch drained all the life from the warhorse, which fell down, powerless, letting out a hoarse neigh in the vast wilderness.
A flash of piercing cold light swept by, causing the body of the bear warrior to shudder violently, and then he lowered his head to look at his own chest
In the next moment, the gaze suddenly turned exceptionally cold, exuding an overwhelming aura of killing intent
"Why can't we recruit them?" Lei Huo couldn't help but ask
Kill! The enormous battle cry reverberated through the skies
Blood mingled with soil coalesced into vast clouds of blood mist in the air, the glint of knives and the shadows of spears transformed into layers of snow waves, vibrant streams of light surged, the indomitable life wailed in sorrow, the earth trembled, souls quivered, the arduous struggle resonated as a requiem for all life
The sharp dagger once again appeared eerily in Qingshui's hand, mercilessly piercing the sole of the warrior's foot
Puff, puff
A pair of hands holding guns, tense and exerting excessive force, causing the joints to turn pale
The long spear soldiers extend the tips of their spears through the gaps in the steel plate. Their task is to assassinate every approaching enemy as much as possible while being protected by the steel plate
As the music ends, the people disperse
When was it? A spear had already pierced its own chest, and the tip was still dripping with drops of fresh blood
Before the new recruits even step onto the battlefield, they have already faced the first severe test of their lives within the pages of books
As Qi Tianyou once said, many of them are destined to never have another tomorrow.
Qi Tianyou looked at the approaching enemies and smiled slightly: "They are indeed strong, but we are stronger."
They charged back and forth, using speed and impact to compensate for the lack of strength, dividing the enemy and killing the enemy
In an instant, the sound of bowstrings played the most brutal music of the world, while arrows danced the most magnificent dance of humanity in the sky. Each deadly meteor traced beautiful arcs in the air, rushing towards the enemy with a lethal cold light
They emerged from the distant thicket, and in the blink of an eye, they enveloped the entire vast expanse of land
Before the bear warriors charge through the rain of arrows to reach the convoy, they must endure at least three to four rounds of shooting
A piercing cold light flashed by, and the head of a long spear soldier soared into the air, creating a rain of blood that fell upon the heads of the crowd
Qi Tianyou's gaze fell upon the heads of the group of new recruits behind the line of vehicles
At the moment the crescent-shaped spear pierced the body, a warrior of the bear tribe roared and brought down his battle axe, instantly shattering the spear into two pieces, causing the body of Qianshuiqing to tremble.
Mount the horse
A bear clan warrior has already killed six fighters, sustaining at least three wounds himself, yet he continues to charge back and forth as if in a realm devoid of obstacles. However, in the end, he still falls amidst a rain of countless arrows and a forest of blades
In the convoy, the archers had ceased firing. At the forefront, over one hundred bear warriors were roaring "Hooah" as they charged forward. They wielded their massive axes, iron hammers, and spiked clubs to smash against the steel plates. Following that, the trembling spearmen were desperately retracting their long spears.
Qianshuiqing finally lay powerless on the ground
At that moment, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Qianshuiqing's face. Qi Tianyou asked him what he was laughing about, and Qianshuiqing replied: "I was just thinking, in the face of a great battle, the veterans are chatting and laughing, while the new recruits are trembling with fear. The environment truly is the best way to change a person. The roughness and brutality of the bear warriors may also be a result of their environment. If they were to truly become obedient subjects, then the strength within them might also cease to exist. Or, as a leader, one should consider how to cleverly utilize this strength, rather than discarding them unnecessarily due to their untamability."
The path of death woven by the archers of thorns claimed the lives of one bear warrior after another, yet they ran swiftly, undaunted by life or death, and the distance to the convoy was noticeably closing.
Accompanying the piercing howl is the army of bear warriors that spreads across the mountains and fields
The sound of the sharp blade piercing the flesh was distinctly heard
... ...
Shallow Water Qinggu gathered all its strength and leaped vigorously, landing on Qi Tianyou's horse.
That kick nearly exhausted all his strength, leaving him unable to retaliate. Meanwhile, the bear clan warrior had already raised his blade again, limping towards Qingshui. Despite being severely injured in two places, he still stood tall, preparing to attack once more. His resilience was astonishing.
The three thousand new recruits experienced for the first time what it means to be fearless in the face of death. Had it not been for Qi Tianyou's early lesson, they might have been so frightened at this moment that their legs would have turned to jelly. However, now they at least have a valuable experience. This enables them to organize an effective defense, quickly topple the grain carts, and form a defensive formation.
