Chapter 492 Siege Beasts and Living Ladders (Please vote and subscribe)
As soon as the message of the upcoming attack and call for support was delivered, it really got a response. To be honest, the team hiding in the Eucommia Forest in the past few days really didn't find any valuable targets. After eating up the small tribe inside, they couldn't help but want to find the 2,000-man pair to continue the attack to the south.
Especially the giant apes in this team, they didn't want to stay in this broken forest for a long time. The trees in this forest are very strange. Not only will they not bear any fruits, but the leaves, roots, and bark are also very strange. When the leaves are torn apart, white silk nets will be pulled out, accompanied by a strange smell. The bark and roots are the same. It's really unbearable for them.
So, the team that got the information also responded immediately. They lit a huge bonfire on the southern edge of the forest and put some fresh branches and leaves on it. After a while, a black smoke column rose up, coupled with the huge roar of more than 30 giant apes, and the small teams scattered throughout the forest quickly gathered here.
Just like when Luo Chong first encountered them, these cannibal warriors often attack collectively, and after eliminating some tribes, they use their settlements as forward bases, and then divide into teams of dozens of people to cast a net around.
This time is no exception, but after receiving the assembly signal, they immediately rushed over without stopping, not only those totem warriors, but also some more terrifying things, such as giant apes and Deinotherium.
Speaking of Deinotherium, Luo Chong originally seized it from them, but in the subsequent encounters, he did not find that the other party had Deinotherium as a mount. Luo Chong also has his own opinion on this. It is definitely not easy to catch a giant like Deinotherium alive. With the help of giant apes, it is easy for the other party to hunt Deinotherium, but it is tantamount to a foolish dream to tame an adult elephant. However, it is not easy to encounter a baby elephant. If it is too young, it has not been weaned. If the mother elephant dies, the baby elephant will definitely not live long.
Therefore, Luo Chong judged that the enemy must have very few domesticated Deinonychus, especially elephants, which have highly developed intelligence and emotions. If hunters killed their companions, the surviving elephants would most likely bear a grudge, and it would be good if they didn't turn hostile. It would be hard to make the elephants obediently serve them.
This time was no exception. The enemy dispatched more than 3,000 people and 35 giant apes, but there were only two Deinonychus. However, they were both adults, each of which was about five or six meters tall and weighed more than ten tons. When they stood there, they looked like two two-story buildings.
If it weren't for these two big guys, they might not dare to attack the Han tribe's city again, because those towering walls were in front of them. Even if there was no one defending the walls, it would not be easy for them to climb up by themselves, not to mention that there were well-equipped soldiers guarding the city.
But with these two Deinonychus, it was different. These two little monsters stood under the city wall, and with a flick of their long noses, they could reach the top of the city wall. Even if they couldn't directly sweep down the enemy, it would be easy to send their own soldiers up. They were like two living ladders. I just don't know how long these two big guys can live, and whether they can hold on until they successfully break through the city.
No matter what the outcome is, the cannibal totem warriors are still very confident about these two monster-like existences. They even thought that as long as these two guys could successfully appear under the opponent's city wall, those guys who tied their hair on their heads would be scared to abandon the city and flee.
Don't look at you riding on four-legged beasts, but under the feet of the long-nosed beasts, you will be immediately trampled into a pile of mud (ω).
The two teams that followed quickly headed towards the direction of the Horse Binding Pass, but at the same time, the cavalry scouts under Wuyun also immediately learned of this news that made people tremble with fear.
A small flag officer led five cavalrymen under his command. According to the assignment of several small flag officers, they were responsible for scouting in the northwest direction. This scouting was not a big deal, and they really found some clues, such as the totem warriors who were sent to contact the giant ape.
Seeing that several people with white totem patterns painted all over their bodies actually left the main force and ran quickly to the northwest woods, the small flag officer's eyes lit up all of a sudden. It seems that there is really something going on. Otherwise, why would these guys run so fast there.
However, these few people were very cautious. They did not ride their horses to chase them directly, but followed them slowly. When the totem warriors slipped into the woods, they quickly dispersed, hid their horses in the surrounding hills, and then carefully hid themselves, lying on the reverse slope of the hills to observe.
As a result, not long after, they saw many people coming out to build a fire at the edge of the woods, and also made a black smoke that went straight to the sky.
"Lei, lei, there is indeed something going on (ω)" For a moment, several scouts hiding not far away became excited.
But the next moment, they felt that the situation was a little out of control.
Boom, boom, boom,
boom, a series of vibrations came from the ground below, scaring several scouts.
"What, what's going on!? Is this an earthquake?"
Just as several people were terrified, the feeling of the earthquake was getting closer and closer to them.
┗|｀O′|┛Ah~~
The next moment, several people saw a scene that they would never forget. They saw a mammoth taller than a house suddenly walked out of the woods with heavy steps. It didn't know how many small trees it hit along the way. However, when they walked out of the woods and came to the side of the towering smoke column, it seemed that it couldn't stand the unpleasant smell. Suddenly, it pointed its long nose to the sky and roared to the sky, which frightened several people for a moment.
"Oh my god, is that a god? Monster Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"
"This, this, eh? No, this thing looks like the elephant that the leader rides, but it's too big! (⊙ｏ⊙)"
"No, we must tell the leader quickly, otherwise something will really happen this time."
Just like that, in the huge crisis, several cavalrymen did not hesitate at all, quickly jumped on their horses, waved their whips and ran away.
The totem warriors who had just gathered at the edge of the woods saw the cavalry running away and couldn't help laughing.
"Hahahaha, these people riding four-legged beasts are really afraid of our long-nosed beasts. This time they didn't even dare to throw stones. They ran away in fear."
"It's a good thing that they are scared away. I'm afraid they are going to run back to report the news."
Amid the laughter of the crowd, there are also some people with clear minds. Well, or rather, they are the people who escaped the last encirclement of the Han tribe. After seeing the fighting style of the Han tribe with their own eyes, they dare not underestimate this tribe anymore. Especially when they heard that the attack might be from the Han tribe again, they were unwilling to come, but they couldn't refuse the order from above, so they were forced to come here. Although they had two huge elephants to help them this time and had the possibility of breaking through the wall of the Han tribe, he still felt terrified in his heart. There was no basis for it. It was just a feeling. They might still lose.
"Haha, you are not really scared, are you? Those people with tied hair are not as powerful as you say. If they are really powerful, why don't they dare to fight us head-on? They will only harass us constantly and throw stones from a distance. Now they are even more scared to run away when they see our long-nosed beasts. For such a tribe, two more will not be enough for so many of us to fight together." Another team leader who had never come into contact with the Han tribe said contemptuously, looking down on this timid companion.
But the man ignored him, just sighed slightly, then shook his head secretly, and then stopped talking.
He thought to himself that he should try to stay behind for a while. If he won, he would not mind sharing the fruits of victory with his "companions", but if he lost, he would just turn around and run away. If he was caught by the Han tribe, he would surrender directly. After all, it is better to live than to die. Maybe being a prisoner would not be bad.
Especially when the Han tribe surrounded and suppressed him last time, he escaped from the battlefield by chance, and then climbed up a tree with agility. There, he saw with his own eyes how powerful the Han tribe was and how his "compatriots" were defeated miserably. However, the Han tribe that won in the end did not kill them all directly, but captured them all alive. This surprised him, and he secretly remembered in his heart that since the Han tribe was willing to capture them alive, there was no need to kill them afterwards, so if he surrendered when he could not win, he would really have a chance to survive.
There is actually a reason why this person has such an idea, because according to the division within the cannibal tribe, he is not a child born in the tribe, but a child from a tribe that surrendered voluntarily.
There are all kinds of birds in a big forest. There have been many tribes attacked by cannibals over the past hundreds of years. Some chose to fight hard, some chose to escape, and of course there were also those who surrendered directly and expressed their willingness to accept transformation.
And this guy who was about to escape, his original tribe chose to surrender to the cannibals. People like this kind of fence-sitter who will follow whoever is stronger naturally have no sense of belonging to the cannibals. At this time, the war is imminent, it is not surprising to have such an idea.
Not long after, more and more people gathered here at the edge of the woods, and soon all arrived, and the total number directly exceeded 1,000, and then a group of people followed the two elephants
and set off in a mighty manner towards the valley where the Horse Binding Pass was located. On the other side, several scouts galloping on horseback finally arrived at the Horse Binding Pass before the enemy arrived, and met the leader Luo Chong who looked calm and composed.
"Chief, in addition to the team of more than a thousand people who have just followed the traces we left, we have just discovered that in the woods in the northwest of the valley, there is another team of totem warriors who are also cannibals. Their number is no less than a thousand, and we have also seen giant apes with red hair in their team, about thirty of them. In addition, there are..."
"What else, tell me?" Luo Chong raised his eyebrows when he heard it. It would be okay if there were more people. An extra thousand or two thousand would not have much impact. The presence of giant apes was also reasonable. He had thought of this situation a long time ago, and even prepared the newly made crossbows specifically for those monsters. It can be said that he gave the enemy enough face. However, now Chihoumen told him that there were other emergencies. How could this not be surprising?
"Chief, that group of people has two long-nosed elephants like 'Grey Mountain', but they are much bigger than Grey Mountain. They look as high as two Grey Mountains. If those two elephants come to the city, our city wall will be difficult to defend. We might really lose. Those elephants are really too big and so tall. Maybe when they stand up on their two legs, their front legs can directly climb onto the top of the city."
The scout's voice became smaller and smaller, and then he couldn't help but sigh. He was very pessimistic about the upcoming battle. Unexpectedly, at this moment, he suddenly heard the leader's question. At
that time, Luo Chong had a smile on his face, with an expression of wisdom, and then he smiled wickedly.
"Who said we have to guard the city wall? We can just open the gate and wait for them to come in. Why should we let them attack the city? We can just close the gate at the back in advance."
The scout also reacted when he heard it. Yes, isn't that the plan they originally made? I have opened the city gate for you, you can't attack the city, right? You must go in directly. But just thinking of this, he felt something was wrong.
"Chief, if we let the enemies in and close the gate, then they will attack the city from the inside out, and this will still require engineering in the end."
Luo Chong also immediately answered his doubts.
"It's different. Look at our city gate, and think about the two elephants you mentioned. If all the enemies come in, the elephants will definitely not be able to get in, so when they choose to enter the city, the two elephants will naturally be left outside the city. If no one cooperates with them, what can the two elephants do? When the situation is determined, if there is really trouble, all it takes is a round of crossbow horse shooting, and no matter how big the elephant is, it will fall to the ground on the spot. Don't be afraid."
"So that's how it is. The leader is really amazing. He can calculate this."
The cavalry scout looked at the city gate he had just passed through, and then thought about the huge size of the two elephants he saw. It was really like what the leader said, they couldn't get in at all.
In this case, if the enemy was lured into the city and left the elephants outside, then they really had nothing to be afraid of.
It was at this time that the people standing on the city wall also felt a slight vibration. There was no continuous shock like the galloping of thousands of horses, but every foot could shake the ground under their feet like a fixed-point blast.
They are here...
