Chapter 17 The Battle of the Guard
The things in the world are the most strange, often what they are most afraid of, but they will encounter something.
The most frightening thing about Gu Xinghe at this time is that other nearby tribes will take advantage of the departure of Mu's tribe and lead troops here to seize the cottages and territories of the Ke tribe. In his hands, there are only 5,000 warriors at this time. Although thousands of archers have been assigned by Mu Private Heart, Gu Xinghe, who has never led the army alone, still has no bottom in his heart.
On the fifth day when Mu led a group of warriors to leave, what Gu Xinghe was most worried about finally happened!
Looking at the warriors of an unknown tribe listed outside the cottage, Gu Xinghe could only shake his head helplessly, and then asked Yiqiu standing behind him, "Yiqiu, do you know which tribe's siege this is?"
Yiqiu said respectfully, "In my master's words, the warriors outside the cottage should be from the fallen tribe."
Gu Xinghe suppressed his worries and asked curiously, "How can I see it?"
However, Yiqiu walked forward, but he always stood half a step behind the ancient Xinghe, pointed to the armor of the warrior in the distance, and said respectfully, "Master, please see, there will be a blue-faced tusks on those armor, which is actually the symbol of the Falling tribe."
Gu Xinghe asked with great interest, "Isn't it that the tribes on the plain of all tribes worship only the gods of creation? Why do the fallen tribes use the head of beasts as their symbol?"
Yiqiu glanced curiously at the ancient Xinghe and said, "Presumably the master doesn't know that the tribes on the plain of the tribe are all worshipped, just the god of creation, but for the difference between the ethnic groups, each race has its own beast god respected by its own race, which is the so-called The totem!"
Gu Xinghe's "Oh" sound seemed to have figured out the key and said with a smile, "Totem? So that's it, but I don't know what the totem of our Mu tribe is?
Yiqiu said respectfully, "According to the master's words, the totem of our Mu tribe is a mythical beast called Kirin, but no one has seen what the Kirin mythical beast looks like, so until now, we have not drawn a totem on the armor of our warriors."
Gu Xinghe nodded, saying that he knew, but he would never ask more questions about this matter again. He just carefully watched the enemies on the opposite side to see how they lined up, how to array, and how to approach the cottage of the Ke tribe step by step.
Although this cottage has been broken, it will never be attacked by other tribes. Not only because the warriors of thousands of Mu tribes are still here, but in fact, this tribal migration is closely related to a major event brewing in the heart of Gu Xinghe.
If he is defeated by the Luoshan tribe, I'm afraid that not only the Mu tribe will lose face among the tribes, and his ancient Xinghe is also very likely to become a slave to other ethnic groups again, but at that time, there was not necessarily a cloud to help him get rid of his identity as a slave.
Thinking that he may have embarked on a journey here at this time, Gu Xinghe couldn't help but feel relieved, and then said loudly, "The generals and soldiers listen to my orders. We want these ignorant invaders to pay the heavy price they deserve for their stupidity!"
All the warriors roared loudly: "No!"
This is the result of his training these days. In order to make tribal culture civilized, the existence of the army is crucial, and how to ensure the discipline of the army is another very important issue, so Gu Xinghe took advantage of this gap and began to train for these warriors!
Unexpectedly, just four days after training, the camp has been surrounded by the warriors of the Luoshan tribe. Although there is a huge difference in strength between the two sides, Gu Xinghe looked at the soldiers behind him, and his worries in his heart became less and less. Finally, he pulled out the Yishui sword at his waist and looked up and said, "Warriors, lift up your hands. Spear, raise the bow and arrow in your hand, perform your duties, and listen to my command and dispatch. If there is an accident, act cheaply, let us give these stupid people who come to pick up cheap, a lesson that they will remember for the rest of their lives.
All the warriors roared loudly again: "No!" The sound shook in all directions, and the trees also swayed.
Under the command of Gu Xinghe, all the warriors protect their places. Although the troops are not enough for the attackers, under the deployment of Gu Xinghe, each warrior will play a vital role, and there are more than a thousand archers. As long as Gu Xinghe handles them properly, these former The warriors of the falling tribes who come to attack will surely run away with their heads.
When the warriors of the fallen tribe were still more than ten battles away from the gate of the cottage, Gu Xinghe pulled out the long sword in his hand and roared: "Let go!"
So, a black cloud quickly flew to the place of the fallen tribal warriors from the words of the ancient Xinghe River.
Because the distance is too close, and these attacking Luoshan warriors have never seen the existence of bows and arrows, although they approached carefully, they still suffered a great loss. Hundreds of people lost their lives or the power of action in the first round of arrow rain.
"What is that?" The warriors of the fallen tribe stopped and asked each other in horror one by one.
"I don't know!"
"I don't know either!"
At this time, Gu Xinghe in the camp had a cold smile at the corners of his mouth. He waved to attract a strong warrior behind him and whispered something in his ear. After the warrior finally smiled and understood, Gu Xinghe stood up straight and roared at the sky again: "Again Let it go!"
Another black cloud quickly approached the warriors of the fallen mountain tribe again. Although many people saw the opportunity quickly, they immediately retreated when the black cloud just took off, but they still could not avoid the bad luck of death. When the arrows approached quickly, they were allowed to resist and avoid, and finally only It can end with hatred.
When the arrow stopped flying, when the warriors of the fallen tribe were still retreating in panic, they saw the warriors behind the ancient Xinghe move forward and shouted loudly: "People of the fallen mountain tribe, do you know that you have committed the death crime of angering the gods, and our Mu tribe represents the punishment of the gods. Punishment will harvest your lives with black clouds. If you dare to take another step closer, you will definitely let you die here, and you will not fall into hell after death.
After saying that, the man returned to the team again at the sign of Gu Xinghe. Gu Xinghe nodded gently and looked outside the camp again, but saw that the fallen warriors did not dare to cross the thunder pool. In the end, they all retreated 30 feet away, although they were still Within the range of bamboo arrows, but Gu Xinghe did not say it clearly, but secretly thought about how to maximize their casualties by the next attack?
The number of enemies is getting smaller and smaller, and the difference in strength between the two sides becomes smaller and smaller.
"Yiqiu, go and count how many arrows the patriarch left us?" Gu Xinghe's heart moved slightly and quickly said to Yiqiu standing behind him.
Yiqiu saluted respectfully, but retreated and left. Half an hour later, he returned and bowed and said, "Returning to the master, our existing arrows are less than 3,000 in total. They should only support three waves of offensive at most. After the arrows are used up, they will not be different from those hateful invaders! "
But he forgot that only five days ago, in the same place, they were still invaders, and the people of the Ke tribe in the camp were just prey in their eyes! Unexpectedly, in just a few days, all this had been changed, and their identities immediately changed from "invaders" to "guards"!
This place will become their new settlement in a few days, so they must only guard the camp here. As long as they wait for the reinforcements of the clan leader, it will be the end of those falling mountain people outside the village gate!
But what if the patriarch Mu suddenly changed his mind and did not lead the clan to move here, but waited for them to return to the cottage ten days later?
Everything is just unknown, but now the most important thing for Gu Xinghe is how to guard this camp and how to skillfully use the advantages of bows and arrows to defeat the invaders outside the fortress gate to the greatest extent.
When it was almost dark that day, the warriors of the Luoshan clan were ready to move again, but when they were only ten feet close, they immediately stopped under the arrow black clouds of the Mu tribe and had no choice but to retreat again, waiting for the arrival of tomorrow morning. At that time, they would show another attack.
When night came, the ancient Xinghe did not yearn for the usual, allowing the soldiers to go to rest in the camp houses, but gathered all the warriors together. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night in the Great Plains, he actually went out to attack the fallen mountain warriors who had already rested.
"Sir, don't do this! I must not blashem the dignity of the gods. A warrior whispered, with anxiety and fear in his voice.
Gu Xinghe has made up his mind and said with a cold face, "I will bear everything, that is, I will be punished by the gods, or the reprimand of the clan elders. I will block everything. You just need to obey my orders."
Although the warriors were helpless, thinking about the situation at this time, they could only agree to Gu Xinghe's order helplessly.
Fighting at night is a taboo in the Great Plains, but at this time, they are already on the verge of life and death, so they can no longer care about these!
"Kill!" Under the order of Gu Xinghe, all the warriors, like a trend, suddenly ran towards the fallen warriors outside the cottage.
A shameless and bloody killing began in the firelight of the night.
