"Attack the tiger barbarians from both sides!" The two main armies, consisting of nearly 40,000 people, relied on the cover of bows and crossbows to form a neat sword and shield formation, and they had already rushed to the back of the mountain.
Hungry and cold, and frightened by rolling rocks and ambushes, the tiger barbarians rushed to fight with weapons under the angry shouts of many cave masters.
Block the ax with your shield and chop the enemy with your sword. Nearly 40,000 Shuzhou soldiers formed a camp step by step and killed several waves without being too tightly surrounded. Under the command of Yu Wen and according to Xu Mu's wishes, they intentionally or unintentionally left a path leading to the mountains and forests to the north. road.
"I would like to inform the Nanlin Tiger Barbarian Dogs that our Xu family's 100,000-strong army has already laid a dragnet in the Nanlin Mountains!"
"You shall die!"
…
The cold wind is biting.
Hidden in the darkness, the bow dog and the mountain hunting archer all pulled the bow strings and shot waves of flying arrows towards the towering tiger god totem.
The string of skulls of worshiping warriors was aimed several times by the bow dog. The rope was stuck and shot off, and the whole string of skulls suddenly fell down.
There seemed to be a crisp "bang" sound between heaven and earth. More than a dozen skulls, at least four or five were broken.
Countless tiger barbarians who were still fighting to the death looked furious when they saw this scene. They abandoned the fiercely fighting Shu soldiers and rushed towards the Tiger God Totem crazily.
"Brother Tiger!"
Si Hu, who had been waiting impatiently, jumped out from the ambush nearby, held the remaining head in his arms, and ran north with the Pingman camp of 3,000 people.
During the sprint, Si Hu seemed to have fallen. He was originally holding seven or eight skulls, but three or four more were rotten. The faces of the many tiger barbarians who were chasing after them turned pale, and they let out another sharp scream.
"Brother Tiger looks like an idiot! Get up quickly and go around to the north! These savage tigers will behead you!" Meng Huo, holding an ax in his hand, shouted in a hurry.
"This is how it started—"
Si Hu, who had just stood up, moved his steps and unknowingly crushed a skull...
"Ah, ah!"
The faces of the tiger barbarian cave masters turned red with anger. They abandoned the fierce fighting Shu soldiers and chased Si Hu desperately, regardless of the enemy.
Si Hu bulged his eyes and thought about picking up the ax and turning around to fight, but suddenly, he seemed to smell the aroma of mutton soup again. He hurriedly hugged the last few tiger barbarian skulls and led the Pingman camp to continue running north.
…
"General Tiger has completely angered the tiger barbarians this round." Dongfang Jing said with difficulty, "The battlefield has been divided, and the tiger barbarians surrounded by people on the back of the mountain have become useless."
Xu Mu's face was speechless. Si Hu had made a great contribution this time.
Dongfang Jing's eyes moved slightly, he broke off a dead branch from the side and began to draw on the ground.
"Military advisor, what does this mean?"
"My lord, there is still a long way from here to the narrow path out of the southern forest. How about shooting signal arrows to notify the other four groups of empty troops and start beating drums to drive them away."
Xu Mu raised his head and looked straight ahead.
The battlefield is changing rapidly. Not only Dongfang Jing understands this truth, he also understands it.
Under the back of the mountain, there are not many tiger barbarians left. Under the layered layout, they are like frightened birds. At first glance, it is obvious that they want to retreat.
But there were still many ferocious and brave men, also wielding battle axes, fighting together with the Shu soldiers.
A fatal counter-attack is often the most shocking. Not only the tiger barbarians fell, but also many Shu soldiers.
"As the military advisor said."
Standing in the wind, Xu Mu raised his hand. Wei Xiaowu, who was watching the movements closely, began to stand on a high place, roaring and waving the Xu-character flag.
Not long after, a cloud-penetrating signal arrow exploded in the sky again. After only a while, the faint sound of drums could be heard from all directions.
"kill!"
"Suppress the tiger barbarians!"
The main armies of the two groups pressed forward step by step, and with the cooperation of swords, shields and crossbows, they shot down group after group of stubborn tiger barbarians from time to time.
"Lord, don't force me. If the tiger barbarian has the will to die, it will be even more difficult."
"I know." Xu Mu nodded. This is actually the same as attacking a city, surrounding three towers and one tower, so that these tiger barbarians have a hope of survival and will not fight to the death.
Intentionally or unintentionally, the mountain roads leading to the north were densely packed with fleeing tiger barbarians. Looking from a distance, he could vaguely see Si Hu's figure, running wildly with his skull in his arms. He probably slipped again and one more skull was broken.
In the winter mountains, the curses and roars of the tiger barbarians echoed in my ears.
Click.
Yu Wen pushed the knife forward and stabbed a small tiger barbarian cave master to death. He then looked up to the north with a sullen face. During this battle, the tiger barbarians were in chaos, more like lunatics, and they could only flee in panic.
"Array-"
The formation of the Shu soldiers advanced step by step. After leaving behind the corpses of their own race, the tiger barbarians no longer paid any attention to them and no longer made the same noise as before.
"Leave two thousand people behind, collect the bodies, and leave no survivors." Yu Wen ordered coldly.
"For the rest of you, please follow me to chase down the barbaric dogs!"
Under the command, many Shu soldiers shouted loudly, and every face showed a look of ecstasy.
The tiger barbarians have brought trouble to Shuzhou for hundreds of years, but today, it is them who defend their hometown with the weapons in their hands.
…
"Bo Lie, the tiger barbarians were forced to the north." Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
"It was my lord's foresight to choose to start the war with the tiger barbarians in winter. If you ask me, my lord is the first one. Looking at Shuzhou for hundreds of years, the kings of Shu have changed one after another. No one has the courage of my lord. .”
"Tiger savagery is like maggots attached to bones, it should have been removed long ago."
Choosing it in winter was due to the fact that the tiger barbarians were hungry and cold. Of course, if Yu Wen did not stop the wave of autumn raids and allowed the tiger barbarians to plunder the food, it would be a joke to start a war in winter.
"Bo Lie's temperament is a bit like Wen Long."
Dongfang Jing shook his head, "I'm not as good as the teacher when it comes to marching and setting up formations. The teacher's rough eyes are rare in the world. I'm just a little boy who takes advantage of the situation."
Xu Mu sighed. This is Hanlin Zimo, restrained and polite, not the Changyang Shuixie Academy, where a bunch of rich students recite poems.
"Bolie, please follow me up the mountain."
"I would like to follow my lord."
Dongfang responded respectfully and wrapped his winter robe tightly. When the sliding rod was raised again, the crippled military advisor of the Xu family army fell into deep thought again.
Along the way, corpses fell into a pool of blood one after another. Xu Mu also recognized one of the assistant generals. That day, when eating mutton soup, toasting was the most enjoyable.
"General Li... was hit by a tiger barbarian's throwing axe, and his head was cut in half." The Shu soldier gathered the body, his voice trembling slightly.
Xu Mu's eyes were as dark as the clouds in the sky.
A general achieves great feats and withers away thousands of bones, and goes to the dead to fight for his righteousness, even for his lord who started out in the rough.
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations——"
…
Under the roar of war drums, the entire bleak Nanlin Mountains suddenly became restless.
Si Hu, who was running wildly to the north of Nanlin, could not help but turn around while holding the skulls of the last two warriors.
Good guy, behind him, people all over the mountains and plains were shouting and cursing at him. Even though they were still far away, they didn't even care. They roared and threw the axes in their hands at him.
"Brother Tiger, I can't bear it anymore!" Meng Huo's face turned pale as he ran, "If not, let's go back and kill him."
"Kill a mutton soup...don't kill, fifty bowls will be spared without injury!"
"Brother Tiger looks like an idiot!"
"What a fool you are."
Not far away, Mrs. Luan Yu, who was dancing with her swords, suddenly turned her head.
Si Hu twitched his mouth, pulled out his legs again with his head covered, and continued running wildly.
