Chapter 174

Qingniu Mountain, Toad Village.

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

The real war could not be as imagined, and the first confrontation with the Northern Barbarians had actually exposed many problems. The physical strength and fighting will of individual soldiers cannot be compared with the warriors of the Northern Barbarian Department at all, after all, Cheng Dalei is only a group of bandits, and there seems to be nothing wrong with saying that they are a rabble.

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

Unfortunately, there was no time.

The so-called war, how can it be that everything is ready for you to start. If really everything is ready, you go and hit someone else.

Cheng Dalei was wearing the official uniform rewarded by the king of Youzhou, with a big axe on his back, a sword at his waist, and three seals clanging around his waist.

He walked in the cottage in such a costume, saying that he would call him "the scum of the Rong tribe", and that he would "drive out all the beasts".

When the soldiers in the cottage saw Cheng Dalei like this, even though they felt that he was a little exaggerated, they inevitably thought in their hearts: Maybe the big boss is really sure of victory.

Everyone has already fought with the Rong people, and their cowardice has decreased slightly, and everyone knows in the battle that the Rong people are not invincible, they are also flesh and blood, and a crossbow arrow can put them down.

Morale is accumulated in this state.

As for whether he can defeat the Northern Barbarian Department, Cheng Dalei is actually playing drums in his heart. He slept all night, or discussed the next battle with Xu Shenji, Liu Bei, and Huang Sanyuan, or inspected the city defense, all he did was to win.

Knock knock

The rapid sound of war drums came from the direction of the city gate, and instantly resounded throughout the valley.

"Big boss, the Rong people are attacking the city again. ”

"Come again!" Cheng Dalei was also a little speechless, it had not been two days since the last confrontation, and he would come again soon, should the Rong clan be so dedicated.

"Go to the wall, go to the wall. Cheng Dalei shouted, there is no other way, it is nothing more than the soldiers coming to block it, and the water is coming to cover it.

And Cheng Dalei knew that the Northern Barbarians didn't get any benefits last time, and they must have been sure of winning again in such a hurry, or they already felt that they could defeat the toad village.

The soldiers of Toad Village went up to the city, only to see a group of people rushing over from the direction of the camp of the Northern Barbarian Department.

"Big boss, look at it!"

Xu Shenji pointed into the distance.

Cheng Dalei had already seen that at the forefront of the team was not the warriors of the Rong clan, but ...... Civilian.

It was the commoners of the empire, they were old and young, men and women, 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, and at a glance there were several thousand people, and the Rong cavalry drove them behind them with braids, but anyone who dared to turn back was an arrow through the heart.

Those who are in pain, those who plead, those who fall to their knees, will not escape the fate of being driven away.

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

The scimitars of the Rong clan in the back could not give them forgiveness, so they had to move forward, hoping that the people of the empire in front would reward them with mercy.

"Help us, save us. ”

"Let's go in, please. ”

All sorts of voices mingled and resounded beneath the city.

"These brutes actually rushed the city with refugees!"

"Big boss, what should I do?"

Cheng Dalei pressed the hilt of his sword, and the corners of his eyes jumped.

In fact, Cheng Dalei has a three-plate axe, and the Rong people also have a three-plate axe to fight. The first axe is to slaughter the city: surrender quickly, if you don't surrender, we will slaughter the city, and many cities have been broken by them like this. The problem is that even if they do surrender, they will slaughter the city.

The second plate axe is to use the refugees to rush the city, and use the flesh and blood of the refugees to block the strong bows and crossbows of the empire, causing the defenders to panic and take the opportunity to break the city.

The third axe is a strong attack, relying on the soldiers not afraid of death, and few cities can resist their strong attack.

Cheng Dalei had inquired about these things in advance, and it was not that he didn't know about them. But it's one thing to know, it's another thing to actually face it.

At this moment, thousands of refugees rushed over, approaching the shooting range of the crossbow arrows at the head of the city, and Cheng Dalei could clearly see their faces.

Look at their faces, look into their eyes, do you have enough courage to kill them?

Cheng Dalei didn't have the courage.

But some things don't mean you don't have the courage to do them.

"Shoot the arrows. Cheng Dalei pulled out his sword and swung it heavily.

He unleashed the bracket and shot the first heavy arrow himself, looking at the direction in which the arrow had been fired, and at the body that had been pierced by the crossbow arrow. The frightened expression before dying, the wide open eyes, the blood gushing out of the body.

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

"Put!"

"Put!"

"Put!"

Crossbow arrows rained down, three hundred paces could pierce horses, and the city was crowded with dense people, and one crossbow arrow could pierce the bodies of several people.

Toot, received a fear of 999

Toot, received a fear of 999

Toot, received a fear of 999

......

Cheng Dalei's fear value is soaring, the crossbow arrows shot from the city head destroyed the last bit of hope for the refugees, it was the fear of dying, some people were so frightened that they didn't say a word, some people yelled, some people raised the baby in their hands, shouting: Save the child, save my child!

Fear and hatred accumulated in Cheng Dalei, he didn't say a word, gritted his teeth, and commanded the arrows to be released.

The Northern Barbarians charged.

Last time it was a temptation, this time it was a strong attack, and the Northern Barbarians felt that they could defeat the Toad Village, so the momentum of the siege was much greater than last time.

The first few times the city was breached, the city wall was smashed out of the gap by trebuchets, and the toad village was like a fishing village in a storm, in danger.

But perhaps because of the shooting of refugees, the cottage of Toad Village broke out with an unprecedented will to fight. The Rong tribe who climbed the city head by the cloud ladder was pounced, Xu Shenji led people to repair the city wall, and a group of Rong people rushed to the city gate, just as they hit the door with heavy logs, they were entertained by the rolling wood and fire oil that fell from the city.

"Red eyebrows, we've got too many dead, let's get the warriors down. "Toman.

His brows furrowed, he didn't want to retreat, after all, the casualties paid were too great, but he could also see that the soldiers were crowded under the city, and they were greeted by a large area of death.

"Withdraw...... Withdraw. The red eyebrow's hand waved weakly.

In the second battle, Red Eyebrows did not defeat the Toad Village.

The walls of the city have been bathed in blood and war, and the smell of turbidity floats in the air. Mountains of corpses were piled up under the city, and the blood pooled into small streams that flowed to the low-lying places.

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