Chapter 78 Dagger Now(2/3)

This is obviously the special skill of the Hurd tribes: feint attack first or simply divide the troops to involve the defender's strength; as soon as the defender's weakness is exposed, the scattered Hurd cavalry will use their mobility to gather together again and attack with all their strength.

This time there are no more Tertun people who are unable to work and contribute, they have been forced to a dead end;

The people of Tiefeng County also knew that victory or defeat depended on this moment. Everyone in Xiaoshi Town and Niuti Valley was mobilized. Even women and children were carrying earth and rocks on the battlefield, collecting arrows and even handling weapons themselves.

The Tertun people, with soot still hanging in their beards and hair, carried out a simple siege ladder, battering ram and large shield - not breaking out rashly did not mean that they were idle.

There were not many siege equipment built in a hurry, and more than half of them were destroyed by fire.

Therefore, most of the Terton people still used the old tactics: fighting on foot with armored soldiers carrying shields, archers dismounting to cover, while the rest dug soil and filled trenches, demolished walls, and small groups of cavalry sneaked through difficult and dangerous places to make detours.

The main road stationed by the 1st and 12th companies bore the brunt of the attack and were attacked in turn by at least four Terton centurions.

The Hurds may be savage, but they are by no means mere instinctive beasts.

The Teldon people, who had been frustrated in their attack on the second line of defense, built a siege ladder specifically to address the weakness of the horse-blocking wall - the low wall.

A dozen Terton soldiers set up a shield formation, worked together to carry large shields that could withstand arrows, and slowly approached the trench.

Bows and arrows could not penetrate the wooden shields, and even lead bullets would get stuck in the wood. The horse-blocking wall lacked a bastion structure and it was difficult to shoot sideways. The soldiers guarding the wall had to watch the shield array approach the trench.

After advancing within five steps of the trench, the sides of the shield formation unfolded, and two teams of Terton soldiers carried siege ladders and rushed towards the horse wall with shouts and shouts.

The other Tertun people used their large shields as cover and fired their bows and arrows at the defenders.

The height of the horse-blocking wall is only two meters, and the siege ladder can easily be set up on the top of the wall, and even the trench can be crossed.

The soldiers defending the horse wall were armed with sharp axes and push rods, and tried their best to cut off the siege ladder and push it down.

The moment the shield array was deployed, Tamas, who was sitting in command with an injured arm and a high fever, shouted an order: "Throw!"

The grenadiers who had been waiting for a long time first lit the powder, then stuffed the other end of the powder into the grenade, and smashed it towards the Telton people's shields.

In the past, Winters used grenades by "inserting the charge first, twisting them, and then igniting them." Elites who have received extensive training may not have any problems when using them this way.

However, when the grenades were distributed to the militiamen, the tactical move of "inserting the grenades first, twisting them and then igniting them" caused a series of accidents.

Some militiamen even threw unlit grenades out in panic, but the Terdun people picked them up and threw them over the heads of the Tiefeng County people.

After a bloody lesson, the grenadier's throwing process was completely changed to "ignite first, then insert the powder and twist".

Hissing grenades flew towards the shield array.

A grenade hit the shield and rolled down into the trench;

A lucky grenade flew into the crowd through the gap in the shield;

More grenades did not fly directly to the shield, but were thrown at the unprotected flanks where the shield array had just been deployed.

The Terdun people didn't hesitate at all. They either stepped on it with their feet or chopped it with their knives, twisting and extinguishing the medicine three times.

The Two-Legged Man has powerful firearms - the Teltun people already have a clear understanding of this matter.

Especially the "black thunder" that was just thrown over, it exploded like thunder, "every man and horse were shattered." They had suffered countless losses when they attacked the second line of defense.

When the people of Tiefeng County paid their tuition with blood, the people of Teldun also studied at the cost of their lives. Both sides were forced by the war and grew rapidly in the art of killing each other.

Tamas could see clearly that several Telduans were even carrying water bags. When they saw the grenade coming, they immediately poured a bag of water on them, causing the grenade to misfire.

Tamas was so angry that he smashed his thigh and barked an order: "Cut the medicine in half! Listen to my command and throw it again!"

At this moment, the shield array suddenly moved, and the Telton people jumped out of the shield array one after another as if they were running for their lives.

The lucky grenade that flew into the shield array could not escape the fate of flameout. A black-faced Telton soldier with quick eyes drew out his knife and slashed at the gunpowder stick.

However, the shield array was too crowded, and the tip of the knife was accidentally scratched by someone else's belt.

The black-faced soldier Terton yanked off his knife, but the gunpowder was almost burned out in an instant, and it was too late.

The black-faced soldier Telton ducked back in horror, shouting: "[Hidden] Black Thunder! Black Thunder!"

As soon as the other Terton soldiers heard this word, they all screamed like dying beasts, shrunk their necks, dropped their shields, and fled away into the distance regardless of the situation.

The black-faced soldier Telton watched desperately as the gunpowder burned into the "Black Thunder". After a moment's delay, the Black Thunder exploded under his gaze.

A large shield was overturned by the air wave, and with the location of the grenade explosion as the center of the circle, there was a mess of blood and flesh within two meters.

The dark-faced soldier Telton had his legs broken by the blast, and several dents were found on his chest. He coughed up blood and couldn't even make a sound, he could only hum intermittently.

Several more "black thunders" were thrown in, and the dark-faced soldier Telton thought about the faces of his mother and son and closed his eyes.

Of course, Tamas would not miss this good opportunity. He shouted in a hoarse voice: "Fire! Release the arrow! Hit me hard!"

More grenades, lead bullets and arrows flew into the shield array through the gaps, stirring up pieces of flesh and blood.

The first attack of the Teltuns was repulsed, and then their commander sent another centurion with more large shields and siege ladders to launch a second attack.

After being repulsed tenaciously again, the Teltuns replaced themselves with a third centurion, and then a fourth.

During the fifth attack, the Teltons deployed all their troops.

In the previous four attacks, they had climbed over the horse wall and turned the battle into a hand-to-hand fight.

In the end, Tamas opened the secret door, led the cavalry out of the horse wall, swept from the flanks and intercepted the enemies outside the wall, and then drove back the Teltuns.

Facing the fifth attack, Tamas was ready to retreat to the next line of defense.

However, the Tertuns retreated.

At the same time, three kilometers north of Tamas Fortress, there was another valley passable by the army.

Tai Chi's son, whose armor was covered in blood, was directing his troops to demolish the horse wall.

The Teltun people advanced three times and retreated three times. Before the fourth attack, the Platuan people who were defending here gave up their position and retreated along the valley.

Tai Chi is getting older and fatter, and is no longer able to fight.

He inspected the corpses of the Platoans on the position one by one, and did not find any corpses with fatal wounds on their backs.

"[Herdese] What a hard bone." Taichi called his son, half in admiration and half solemnly sighing: "[Herdese] What a hard bone."

"[Herd] My nak'er has been broken into two pieces." Taichi's son spat out a mouthful of blood: "[Herd] What a bastard pig! All my children are going to be wiped out! I see.

He had this intention from the beginning!"

"[Hedian] Shut up!" Tai Chi scolded: "[Hedian] He is your Khan or your uncle and brother. You must take care of him."

After a bloody battle, Taichi's son became more and more angry: "[Hidden language] What kind of Khan King who doesn't eat pigs and dogs! You are my grandfather's youngest son. According to the rules, you should inherit the throne of Khan!"

Taichi immediately raised his riding crop and gave his son a severe blow. But looking at his only son's face covered in gunpowder smoke and blood, he couldn't do it again.

"[Herd] Don't mention this matter again, otherwise I won't be able to protect you!" Tai Chi scolded him with a cold face.

First find the wooden stakes, then use several horses to tie them up and drag them down.

When the wooden pile fell, all the baskets and soil fixed on the wooden pile fell over.

Using this method, Tai Chi's tribe demolished a large section of the horse wall, making the valley once again able to accommodate large troops.

At the same time, the Terdun troops who were attacking other positions also came to assemble.

In this desperate breakout, Terdun's troops did not make any feint attacks, they only made main attacks, concentrating their forces to attack wherever they penetrated.

Besides their horses, weapons, and the food and drink they carried with them, they now had nothing.

This is when the Hedians are at their strongest, because at this moment they are not hindered by any wealth and are focused on survival.

After all the Kota had arrived, Taichi no longer waited for the last few people and led a group of Telton troops forward.

Breaking out of this blockade, the Terdun cavalry will be able to gallop freely across the land of Zhongtiefeng County, unstoppable and unstoppable.

But the further they moved forward, the more Tai Chi felt uneasy.

The valley was silent, and you couldn't even hear the chirping of birds. The wind was full of chill, and the mountains on both sides became steeper and murderous.

Tai Chi hurriedly summoned the leader of the forward Qingqi, but before Nakota arrived, a cannon shot rang out from both sides of the hillside.

A red flag was raised at the top of the valley.

Then came the war cry that was so familiar and haunting to the Hed: "Uukhai!!!"

Dozens of blazing fireballs rolled down the hillside, rolling faster and faster, and finally crashed into the Teltun people's queue at a speed that was impossible to dodge.

These "fireballs" are spherical baskets made of branches, filled with hay, resin and lamp oil. They cannot explode and have limited lethality. However, they can effectively cut off the Teltun troops.

The Terdun tribe marched along the valley, shaped like a long snake. The fireball roared down, and the Terdun people were instantly divided into several parts.

The leader of Telton, who was lagging behind, saw that the situation was not good and turned around without hesitation.

"[Herdese] Rotten meat! The way back has been blocked!" Tai Chi cursed angrily. He waved his riding crop wildly and shouted orders to the panicked tribesmen: "[Herdese] Go forward! Go forward.

Charge! Kill! The gods are watching you and me!"

"[Hidden] Fire Ox!" A Turdun soldier suddenly shouted in horror: "[Hidden] Fire Ox!"

Taichi followed the sound and saw that the second batch rushing down the hillside turned out to be hundreds of mad cows on fire.

The power of a fire bull charging into battle is no less powerful than a war horse, or even more ferocious than a war horse, because a mad bull will never stop in front of a spear.

The Telduans had the courage to fight to the death with the Platoans, but no one dared to stand in front of the mad bull.

Herds of cattle trampled the ground, the sound of hooves rumbled, and the Teltun people fled in all directions.

Tai Chi wanted to fight for his life, but he couldn't even find an opponent with whom he could fight.
