Chapter 171: The First Encounter

Chapter 172

Black Rock City, the army is about to start.

"Within ten drums, if there is anyone who has not arrived, cut it!"

The red eyebrows rode on the horse, the brows were twisted, and the red eyebrows on the face were even more vivid.

The warriors who pursued last night have not returned until now, and there is only one result, they have been completely annihilated. The death of thousands of people is extremely rare in the Rong people. And this team is surrounded by Red Eyebrows himself. This is not a happy thing, and Red Eyebrows can't help but wonder if he is usually too good to these people.

"Koyamabe!"

"In!"

"Inugaoka!"

"In!"

"Tooth Spring!"

"In!"

"Meng ......"

As soon as he shouted, the leader of a tribe agreed, and after ten drums, more than a dozen large and small tribes of the Rong tribe led by Red Mei had arrived.

Last night's fiasco made everyone a little unhappy, and there was a lot of energy on their faces that wanted to kill.

"Let's go!"

The bare eyebrows neatly put down a sentence, and the horses were raised, but the team maintained its own formation, and there was no chaos at all. The Rong tribe's riding skills are unparalleled in the world, and the speed of the team is extremely fast.

After a short walk, the team had entered the area of Qingniu Mountain.

On Oxhorn Peak, the treetip of a poplar tree shifts, pointing north.

"It's here, it's here. Cheng Dalei looked at it carefully, and instantly came to his senses.

As soon as they reached Qingniu Mountain, the team of red eyebrows was blocked, and they saw huge trees, rocks, and deep and shallow earth ditches on the avenue.

With these, an army of 10,000 people cannot be stopped, and a team of 10,000 people, one person can fill the ditch with a handful of soil.

Hardly without the need to give the bare eyebrows, someone had already dismounted and opened the way ahead. The big trees were removed, the rocks were removed, and the ditches were filled...... Naturally, the speed of the team was also slowed down.

In the mountains and forests, Cheng Dalei carried a big axe on his back, held a sword in his hand, and clenched and loosened his fists.

"Put!"

The archers of the hundred-man team released their arrows at the same time, and the iron arrows rained down on the Rong tribe who opened the way on the avenue.

This sudden rain of arrows caught people off guard, and more than a dozen people were injured in an instant, and they didn't react in a panic.

"There is an ambush!" Red Eyebrows snorted coldly: "Kill them!"

In fact, there was no need to command with red eyebrows, there were already men from the Rong clan who rushed over with bows and arrows and scimitars.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Cheng Dalei yelled, turned around and fled into the mountain.

The Rong clan's riding skills are unparalleled, and there is nothing to say about archery, this is regarded as people's racial talent, and these bandits led by Cheng Dalei actually don't care about archery skills at all, it is good to be able to draw a bow. These people are better at hoeing than fighting.

Of course, they also have their talents, living in Qingniu Mountain for so many years, they have long been extremely familiar with the terrain here, and climbing mountains and mountains is like walking on the ground for them. And the Rong people are in the mountains...... I have never heard of anyone herding sheep and cattle to drive to the mountains.

A group of people disappeared without a trace after a few circles on the mountain, the Red Eyebrow sent out to pursue the soldiers in vain, and two of them bent on their feet because they ran too quickly, and their faces were red in pain.

Some embarrassment, some humiliation.

"Keep going, watch your surroundings!"

The army continued to advance, but the speed of the ranks was slowed down by the need to keep moving.

"It's coming! It's coming!"

Gao Feihu pressed his palm to his chest, so close to the Rong clan, he was terrified.

"Put!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

The expression on the red eyebrows' face became more and more unsightly, and relying on the geographical convenience, a wave of feathered arrows would be released from time to time in the mountains and forests. And these arrows are also extremely hateful, let go of a wave of arrows and leave, once they are discovered by the scouts in advance, they definitely have no intention of fighting, and they will run away.

And in the mountains...... It's true that you can't run fast with your own soldiers.

In fact, the casualties were not large, and the injuries or deaths of dozens of people were nothing to the team. But this feeling of being shot at any time by a cold arrow is really disgusting.

In this way, the march of the troops slowed down considerably.

No matter how far you go, there will be a moment to reach your destination.

At dusk three days after Chimei's departure, Chimei's soldiers had already entered the center of Qingniu Mountain. He took out a scribbled map and observed the surrounding terrain, then let out a long sigh of relief, looked ahead and said, "What I want is inside!"

As the team moved forward, the peaks turned around, and instead of seeing the valley he imagined, Red Mei saw a wall rising from the ground and full of torches.

Things are a little different from what I thought, there are so many troops stationed here, and whose soldiers are they?

No matter how much it is, if you open this gate, those mutated ones will return to what they should be.

Without a moment's pause, Red Eyebrow gave the order to attack the city.

The empire has lost a hundred battles, and the Rong people have won a hundred battles, until now, the empire is used to losing, and the Rong people are also used to winning.

In the cognition of the Rong people, the imperial warriors are thin and timid, and the cities of the empire are also like paper paste, stepping out with iron hooves and breaking themselves.

"Big Boss...... They're coming!"

"So anxious!" Cheng Dalei was also startled, and he attacked the city as soon as he came over. Don't they have to rest, they don't have to recuperate, they don't have to survey the terrain around them?

"Ready, ready!" Cheng Dalei shouted: "I want to fight!"

Four trebuchets were pushed from the back of the team to the front, and as the first stone projectile smashed onto the walls, the first battle between the two sides began.

Red eyebrows didn't give Cheng Dalei time to breathe and react, even if he didn't know who his enemy was now. As a certain mountaineer said, the mountain is there, so I'm going to climb it.

If you ask Red Eyebrow, Red Eyebrow will definitely say, the city is there, so I want to break the city.

"How do they have trebuchets, how do they have trebuchets!" Cheng Dalei shouted at the head of the city.

Red eyebrows not only have trebuchets, but also storming equipment, ladders and other siege equipment. Naturally, this was not made by themselves, but snatched from the king of Youzhou.

Under the cover of trebuchets, the warriors rushed to the city wall, slammed the big wooden door, climbed to the top of the city by means of a ladder, and shot angrily with their bows and arrows into the sky.

Cheng Dalei gasped: I can't prevent it, I thought that the Rong people were not good at attacking cities, but it turned out that attacking cities was so sharp.

"Release!" Cheng Dalei yelled angrily.

The heavy crossbow was already ready to fire, and fifty crossbow arrows were fired at the city.

The first battle between the two sides was fought in a state of killing each other, and the siege began at dusk, and the third watch was only withdrawn.

The red eyebrows did not lay down the toad village.

At night, the other party camped three miles away from the toad village, and under the real soldiers in the city, they could see each other eating and drinking.

Cheng Dalei did not take advantage of the other party's camp to attack at night, he was also busy repairing the city wall, replenishing crossbow arrows, and counting casualties.

Perhaps because they were not good at using trebuchets, some of the stone bullets did not hit the city, and some flew over the city, and the final result was that only one stone projectile hit the city, injuring seven or eight people, and no one died.

But Cheng Dalei knew that this was only the first battle. At best, it was only an appetizer before the Great War.
