Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 535 Northern Xinjiang ([-])

Although this time it is still a sea of ​​​​people tactics, it is different from before.

Prairie people also learned soil work!
During the previous equipment war, the slaves behind did not stand and watch the show. They used sacks to dig out the surrounding soil one by one, and then compacted them to make soil bags one by one.

These earth bags are large and thick enough to cover their bodies.

Then the slaves put the earth bags in front of them and ran towards Daxing Pass.

Even if he charged against the rain of arrows, his heart felt a lot more at ease. When the arrows hit the soil bag and encountered resistance, they often needed to add more true energy to penetrate.

This increased the true energy consumption of the archers of the Daxing Pass defenders.

At the same time, these slaves carried the earthbags to the bottom of the city wall of Daxingguan, dropped the earthbags and ran back from both sides like crazy, even if they turned their backs to the city, they were not afraid.

There are so many slaves below that it is impossible to count, and no matter how many arrows there are, they may not necessarily fall on him.

Anyway, just run quickly.

Slaves who managed to return to the ranks could rest for a while and wait for the next charge.

The prairie people have already established regulations. As long as they can successfully carry the earth bag to Daxing Pass, and go back and forth three times, they can be promoted to slave leaders, and they can be exempted from the status of slaves after five trips, and enjoy the treatment that a tribal warrior should have. .

Now the eyes of the slaves were all red, as if they had taken medicine, they picked up the earth bags and ran towards the city wall.

Having been slaves on the grassland for so many years, they all know how difficult it is to become a slave leader, and there are very few tribal fighters accepted by the grassland people.

The prairie people are very stuck in this aspect, the conditions are too harsh.

In the past, it was the head of the iron charge, and the one who survived successfully in the end could become the slave leader.

Now you only need to run back and forth three times to become a slave leader. You do not need to wait until the battle is over but you can be promoted directly on the battlefield and cash in on the spot.

If you reach five times, you will be freed from the status of slaves. The slaves couldn't resist the temptation to carry the earth bags very excitedly, and some of them picked up the second bag and rushed up after returning without having time to rest.

Wu Tong, the soldiers of the Northern Army and the prairie people have been fighting for so many years, and they have seen a lot of slaves. This is the first time they have seen such active slaves, and it is rare to see a sense of high morale from them.

What method did the prairie people use to make these slaves so active, they don't know.

However, the actions of these slaves did cause some troubles to Daxingguan. Even if they used bows, arrows and crossbows to shoot, a large number of slaves fell down, but there were still more slaves rushing up behind them with soil bags.

When they came to the city wall of the pass, they threw the earth bag under the city and started running back.

Soon the corpses and soil bags increased little by little.

There is no need to think about the intention of the prairie people, they just want to pile up a slope with corpses and soil bags.

It's a pity that this is the northern border pass, and there is no river nearby. If there is a moat, it will be more difficult for them to fill the moat.

In the moat of the city on the Yuanwu Continent, there is more than simply river water.

Various formations, hidden weapons, and various strange beasts can be hidden inside. If you want to pile up corpses in earth bags, it is simply a dream, and you can just fight them out casually.

But there is no moat here in Daxingguan.

Moreover, Daxingguan is a defensive formation with no means of attack, so there is no solution to the increasingly higher mounds below. Unless they go out and clean them up, they will only get higher and higher.

This method of soil work is very popular in the Central Plains countries, especially in the south.

It turned out that the prairie people also learned it. It seems that they have an expert to guide them this time.

Either a prairie person who has a deep understanding of the Central Plains countries. Such people are the most terrifying. They learn experience, technology and knowledge from you, and then turn their heads and use what they have learned from you to deal with you.

Or there are ghosts, such people are often unable to get along in their own country, and go to other countries to sell information and give advice. Such a leading party is also extremely annoying.

Although Wu Tong is a soldier, this is the first time he has encountered such a different prairie army, but his experience still tells him that he can't let it go. bigger.

He asked the archers to adjust their positions, bring the enemy closer before shooting, and the continuous crossbow could not stop, trying to kill the enemy as far away as possible.

The arrows of the Liannu were enough, and they were fired almost non-stop. Even with the earth bag defense, they could only withstand one or two arrows, and it was impossible to be unscathed.

Liannu is responsible for harvesting the slaves in the distance, forming a defense line of arrow rain, and using archers to aim at the fish that slip through the net.

It's not like the free fire it used to be.

After Wu Tong made adjustments, the casualties of the slaves who charged immediately began to intensify.

And in order to prevent the slope from rising due to the increase in corpses and earth bags, Wu Tong ordered people to start pouring kerosene downwards.

Then throw the torch directly down, shoot the rocket, and ignite the corpses in minutes.

Moreover, what Wu Tong ordered to throw was fierce fire oil, a product with a high concentration of kerosene, which was more flammable.The smoke produced is also smaller.

It can continue to burn for a long time. If there is no external influence, it can burn for a day and a night.

This kind of fierce fire oil is not afraid of water, on the contrary, it will be more violent when it encounters water. If it is not for the influence of the warrior using vitality, it will be difficult to suppress it.

The fire burst into flames.Not only were the corpses burned, but even the earth slope below was burned after being contaminated with kerosene.

Immediately, a wall of fire rose in front of the slaves charging below.

At this time, it would be a dream to go up and throw earth bags.

All the martial arts that can influence the direction of the wind were used on the city wall.

One of Wu Tong's lieutenants was a warrior with a wood attribute, a mutation attribute, and a wind attribute. He urged his true energy to form small tornadoes, and pushed them out of the pass with the power of the fire, scaring the slaves to turn around and run away.

Compared to being burned to death painfully, being killed by grassland people is more enjoyable, without feeling the torture of being burned.

This time, the prairie man didn't kill him. Naturally, such a fierce flame couldn't go up.

However, there were quite a few whistling sounds from their team, obviously provocative.

Then, after a muffled sound of horns, the prairie people retreated and set up camp ten miles away from Daxing Pass.

There is no need to worry about the smoke caused by the burning fire oil at Daxing Pass. The city wall has corresponding measures to guard against enemy fire attacks.

The large bellows work on their own, and will blow out all the smoke and dust, so as not to affect the soldiers defending the city too much.

Even if the grassland people retreated, the city of Daxingguan showed no intention of turning off the fire. Who knows if this is the grassland people's routine?Naturally, be cautious.

Wu Tong arranged for the deputy general to be more vigilant, and then dragged Yan Xuelan, Chen Zheng and others to discuss matters.

It was obvious that someone from the prairie people pointed out that it was the first time in so many years that Wu Tong discovered that the prairie people's tactics had changed so much, and that they had been carried out so seriously.

Who is the commander on the other side?
Wu Tong knew that Yan Xuelan's Procuratorate had good intelligence capabilities, and this time the prairie man's operation was almost carried out according to what they said at the beginning.

Now he would like to ask who is the general on the prairie opposite?

However, Chen Zheng really didn't know about this issue. Their prosecutors couldn't reach into the enemy's ranks. If Yan Xuelan hadn't asked him to memorize it in advance, Chen Zheng wouldn't have known about it.

Yan Xuelan hinted to Chen Zheng calmly, and Chen Zheng immediately understood.

"General Wu, from the information my people have investigated, we only know that the general opposite is Yamu of the Bojin clan. He is a veteran of the Bojin clan with the peak cultivation base of the innate realm. He has led the soldiers of the Bojin clan to the south many times. As for The member of the Yelu tribe is a young man named Yelu Liangcai, a direct descendant of the Yelu tribe, who has not been in the army for many years, this time he should come here to gain credit, and his commanding ability should be average." Chen Zheng general Yanxue What Lan told herself was dictated to Wu Tong.

"Yamu? I have seen this person before. Today's combat style is definitely not something he can do. This Yeluliang is a bit suspicious, but how can he succeed in persuading Yamu to let him command? I am Knowing that Yamu is the most authoritarian, ordinary people will not be taken seriously by him, are the people of their two tribes so friendly?" Wu Tong was a little puzzled, but his vigilance towards Yelu Liangcai began to increase in his heart, and the young people's thoughts became more serious. Rich, and more like tactics learned from the Central Plains, it seems that the tactics used by the Zhenbei Army must also be adjusted.

And thinking in the eyes of Yan Xuelan who seemed to be listening, she always felt a sense of familiarity, maybe she was not the opponent in her "memory", she was sure that it was not Yamu or Yelu Liangcai, and there was someone else behind it.

Yamu is a veteran of the Bojin clan. He has always used a traditional combat style all his life. However, with the changes of the times, tactics are changing, and those who are stubborn will be crushed under the wheel of history.

Yamu, a rigid veteran, has been using old-fashioned tactics, and it is almost difficult to achieve successful results. He failed again and again, and finally became less and less valued, and finally died in depression.

And Yeluliang is a direct descendant of the Yelu tribe. He has good martial arts skills, but his commanding skills are unsightly. Fortunately, he has a good temper and can listen to other people's opinions. He will not let professionals take charge.

He is still a relatively good nobleman.

This time the battle is coming here to mix seniority, and the two Wanqi of the Yelu tribe are commanded by others.

But similar to Yamu, I can't think of such a tactic.

The existence of this person was really beyond Yan Xuelan's expectation, and there was a deviation from her "memory".

Then several people began to discuss defensive tactics, but most of the time it was Wu Tong, Yan Xuelan, and several lieutenants who were discussing tactics, while Chen Zheng was listening on the sidelines. He didn't know much about this aspect.

On the contrary, Yan Xuelan's military literacy surprised Wu Tong and others. His Highness is not just talking about military affairs on paper, but rather has a lot of talent. He can say the finishing touch after several speeches.

At this time, the retreating prairie people had already set up their tents ten miles away.

It seems that they did not achieve much results today, but the emotions of these people did not seem to be affected too much. Although some grassland warriors complained a little, no one dared to make trouble under Yamu's majesty.

On the contrary, the atmosphere of those slaves was mobilized, a little excited, and some kept bragging about how awesome they were today, charging in the arrow rain and sending soil bags to the city wall.

Especially today there are a few lucky ones, more than 20 slave leaders, all of whom have successfully made three trips.

And the two most notable ones are the more powerful ones. One ran five times and the other ran six times. They successfully got rid of their status as slaves and became tribal warriors on the grassland.

This is no longer as simple as luck. People without a little strength can't survive for too long in such an environment.

Let the surrounding slaves be excited, and they are eating leftovers coldly, and they have become tribal warriors, who can drink broth and eat fresh dairy products.

Now they are even more motivated. The grassland people have fulfilled their promise. As long as they can perform well on the battlefield, it may not be impossible.

Who wants to live a life of slavery every day, and climb up when they have the opportunity.

As for those prairie warriors who did not play today.Their mood is not so happy, a little depressed, what kind of battle is this today, even the blood of the enemy has not been tasted, only a few lucky ones successfully killed the escaped slaves, and the others have not seen the blood yet, more or less accurate.

But these are all orders from Yamu, and they dare not disobey his orders.

On the grassland, one must learn to obey, especially when fighting, one must obey the orders from above. If anyone dares to disobey, the people above can deprive them of their lives at any time. No one wants to take their own life as a joke.

Anyway, the people above said that there will be a tough battle to be fought tomorrow. Today is just a tentative attack. The dead are all slaves. The core combat effectiveness has not been affected. Many people are preparing for tomorrow's war.

And in the big tent in the most central position.

The middle-aged man whose hair has turned slightly gray and whose face has already shown signs of aging, is still holding a wine glass in his hand and is pouring wine. He is not very excited. This person is the commander of this partial division this time. , Yamu.

Even in the prairie army, drinking alcohol in combat is against the rules, but here Yamu is the biggest and no one will take care of him.

Moreover, not only can drinking not numb Yamu's perception, but it will make his mind clearer. He is also one of the rare people who drink more and more energetically.

Although this order was issued by him, it seemed that he was not very reconciled to it.

"General Yamu, are you trying to drink away your worries?"
