Chapter 494: The Overall Situation is Initially Decided (Two-in-One Chapter, Please Vote and Subscribe)
Under the wall of Fuma Pass, the north gate was wide open, and countless enemies followed the man-eating giant ape and filed in, frantically chasing the hundreds of Han tribesmen who were fleeing in front. Originally, according to the speed of the giant ape, they might have really been caught up, but under the first wave of lime powder, the giant ape, which should have run very fast, dragged down the large army behind. They had completely lost their eyesight and frantically attacked their teammates beside them, constantly creating chaos in the charging team.
It was at this time that Xue Tu and others, who had already held the determination to die and drag the enemy in the city, successfully escaped from the south gate during this chaotic period of the enemy.
Seeing that their own people finally rushed out of the city, the guards at the south gate were also happy, and shouted loudly to their soldiers to start closing the city gate.
"Close the gates quickly, the enemy is coming, quickly, quickly, put up the bolts, put all three bolts in, and put sandbags, sandbags, quickly, quickly, pile them behind the gates."
A team leader shouted loudly, feeling excited and anxious, fearing that he would not be able to complete the task, causing the leader's entire plan to fail.
The two heavy wooden doors were finally closed, but at this time, the totem warriors covered with strange white patterns also broke through the resistance from the "friendly forces" and successfully arrived at the south gate of Fuma Pass.
The first group of fifty or sixty people who ran the fastest directly hit the gate, causing the thick gate to shake, but it was just a shake. What they didn't know was that on the other side of the gate, the hundreds of people who had just run out did not leave, and were crowded behind the gate one by one. At the same time, another team of people responsible for the gate defense also put three solid wooden door bolts as thick as an adult's thigh on the horizontal bolt of the gate. But this was not the end. In order to be on the safe side, hundreds of people brought the sandbags that had been prepared long ago from both sides of the gate and piled them behind the door one by one. In this way, even if dozens of giant apes hit the door together, it would be impossible to open the door.
The South Gate of Fuma Pass had just been declared successfully closed, but the North Gate was still in full swing. Although Luo Chong had a good idea that he could just lock all the enemies in this city wall, the reality was not the case at all.
The man-eating giant ape that served as the vanguard had not yet played a role when it was tricked by the Han tribe and lost its combat effectiveness. Fortunately, the gate defense did not work at all, and the Han tribe warriors were directly "scared away". This situation allowed more totem warriors to drive straight into the Han tribe's lair.
However, the facts were very different from their imagination. The easy breakthrough and vulnerable warriors in the fantasy did not appear. Instead, the scene of "I'm sitting here watching you fight, but you just can't hit me" was staged again. The city wall was higher than that of Hanyang City, and the gate was thicker than that of Hanyang City, which made countless totem warriors rushing over dumbfounded again.
How could they fight now?
Originally, when they encountered this situation, the Han tribe defenders on the city wall would definitely fire a wave of arrows to kill them, but in fact, they did not. The Han tribe defenders were like the game offline, just wasting a lot of effort to close the door, and then there was no movement at all.
This strange situation made the totem warriors who rushed over confused. The door could not be opened, and the enemy did not attack them. So why were they standing here? Should they go back?
In this way, many totem warriors had the idea of retreating on the spot. They began to retreat carefully, and kept a vigilant eye on the Han tribe guards on the high wall. But just when they wanted to retreat, the newcomers behind them were still rushing forward. One wave retreated, and the other wave charged. The two groups of people suddenly collided with each other, causing a lot of chaos. Those who wanted to retreat saw that there were still so many of their fellow tribesmen running here, so they simply did not run. A group of people gathered at the gate of the South City Gate and discussed how to climb over the wall.
At the same time, outside the north gate of the city, the warriors here had almost run away, and only more than a hundred people were still gathered around the two elephants, trying to attack the Han tribe guards standing on the city wall.
They first climbed onto the backs of the mammoths, then shot arrows and threw stones at the city walls, but the people on top squatted behind the parapets and protected themselves tightly with wooden shields, leaving no chance for the other side.
Seeing that this method didn't work, they began to try to use the mammoth's huge body to climb directly onto the city wall, but the idea was good, but the actual operation was not as simple as it sounded.
One of the two mammoths stood under the city wall, and the other knelt beside the standing mammoth, forming a living "secondary ladder", but in fact this tactic was only suitable for giant apes, because of the height difference between the two mammoths, and the height difference between the mammoths and the city wall. Each level was several meters high, which made the totem warriors, whose average height was only about 1.7 meters, far behind.
This special brew can't even climb up,
how can it fight? And those unlucky red-haired monsters, if they were not blind, they might have already attacked the city wall and killed the Han tribe defenders without leaving a single piece of armor. Now, they haven't accomplished anything and have been collectively eliminated by the Han tribe. A bunch of blind people, what else can you expect them to do.
So, in the spirit of fighting if one plan fails, try another one, the totem warriors quickly came up with a second tactic. They asked the "beast whisperer" who controlled the Deinonychus in their tribe to cooperate, and let the two Deinonychus use their long trunks to roll up a person and throw them directly onto the city wall.
As the saying goes, if you are not tall enough, you can make up for it with your nose. The originally unreachable city wall, in this strange way, really let the totem warriors below come up.
Even Luo Chong, who was watching the battle on the city wall, was shocked and confused. He didn't expect that there was such a way to attack the city. But even if such a strange method came up, would it be useful?
He raised a playful smile, and asked his soldiers to throw away their spears, replace them with sticks, and then hide behind the battlements and wait for battle.
At this moment, the two mammoths really rolled up the two people with their trunks, but the moment they came up, the two began to regret it, because they found a very important problem. This method did work, but there were only two people, and there were more than 800 defenders on the wall. How can they fight this special brew?
What are we doing here? Are you here to give yourself up? 凸(艹皿艹)凸
"Brothers, come on! Capture these two idiots alive, hahahahaha"
The next moment, before the two could react, they were surrounded on all sides. Dozens of sticks took turns beating them, and soon the two were beaten half to death, and then they were tied up tightly and thrown into a corner of the wall, regardless of their life or death.
After this battle, the Han tribal defenders on the city wall began to get excited. Speaking of war, many people might be afraid, but the pleasure of using numbers to bully the few, especially a group of people beating up two people, is simply too cool. Some newcomers who were originally unwilling to participate in the battle also seemed to find fun in this tribal defense battle.
However, due to the perspective of height, the people below the wall only heard the shouts, but did not know the actual situation above. Therefore, when they saw the two people successfully reach the top, they saw the hope of victory, so the totem warriors below sent two more people up. As expected
, the two people who had just been sent up were once again drowned in the encirclement of the wall, and they didn't even have time to shout a few words.
But the people below were not stupid. Seeing that four people were sent up, but there was not much reaction, they soon realized something.
It seems too slow to send people up like this, but it won't do much good if there are too few people.
They were below the city wall, and didn't know how many people were on it, but they also understood that if there were not enough people, they would just be "sent away".
So, they tried again, changing a section of the city wall, and then letting two Deinonychus quickly drop soldiers on the wall, basically being able to drop seven or eight soldiers per minute, but this number was not a problem for the defenders on the wall.
Due to the height difference, Deinonychus couldn't actually see the situation on the wall. Some of the people sent up by these two big guys were rolled up horizontally, and when they felt they were almost on the top of the wall, they just let go of their noses and threw the people down. Therefore, most of the soldiers who were sent up were pressed down on the spot before they could even stand firmly, and then they were immediately tied up, and then, there was nothing else.
However, this tactic was soon declared bankrupt amidst the shouting. The Totem Warriors who had not even stood firmly after coming up were pinned to the ground and tied up by dozens of big men as soon as they landed. Their shouts quickly told the people below not to send anyone up, as there were too many people up there and this would not work at all.
So, after trying three plans and paying the price of dozens of people, the guys below finally got angry.
Isn't it just a broken wall? It's not okay if I don't go up, I'll get you down directly.
The Totem Warriors under the city changed their tactics again and notified the 'Beast Whisperer' who was driving the elephants to control the two elephants to hit the wall.
The next moment, a rumbling vibration came from the city wall, and some of the Han tribe defenders above also lost their balance and were directly shaken to sit on the top of the wall. The
continuous
strong impacts came from the bottom of the city wall, which frightened the defenders on the city wall. They were afraid that the next moment, the city wall made of a pile of mud would collapse and bury them all. Before they died, they would even be stepped on by the giant elephants under the city. Who wouldn't be afraid?
However, there was someone who was not afraid. Of course, that person was Luo Chong, the leader of the Han tribe.
Luo Chong saw that the two elephants below actually started to hit the wall, and he frowned slightly, but he was not afraid. First, he believed that the city wall here was strong. Although it was only rammed earth, a lot of plant ash, lime, and charcoal were added when the city was built. Although there was no glutinous rice soup, it was also considered three-in-one soil. Its hardness was comparable to that of primary concrete. It was not easy to be broken in a short time.
Another important thing was that although it was very dangerous to continue like this, the city wall might really collapse under such an impact, but Luo Chong had a way to stop the two elephants from continuing to hit.
"Don't panic, everyone. Listen to me."
"Their elephants have never heard the sound of drums. Let's beat our drums first. We will definitely be able to calm the two elephants.
Others, find long bamboo poles, tie a few torches on them, dip them in oil and light them, and drive the two Deinon elephants away.
Don't be afraid. All wild animals are afraid of noise and fire." Luo Chong quickly issued two new orders to the panicked people.
After hearing the leader's words, the eyes of the others also lit up. Most of them were shocked by the huge size of the Deinon elephants, but they forgot that no matter how big they grow, wild animals are still wild animals.
If they were asked to deal with so many enemies, they might not be able to do it. However, if they were to deal with wild animals, everyone present had the capital to be proud. Before joining the Han tribe, each of these people was the backbone of the hunting team in their tribe. Therefore, after hearing the leader's idea, they immediately reacted.
That's right, no matter how powerful the two Deinon elephants were, they were just two wild animals. What was there to be afraid of?
So, the defenders on the city wall were immediately mobilized. The drummers began to beat the cowhide drums. Others also found torches, tied several torches to a bamboo pole, and then lit the extended torches and stretched them towards the two mammoths.
One, two, and more and more torches joined the formation. The mammoths below immediately felt the burning sensation on their skin and quickly hid away in fear. No matter how the "beast whisperer" guided them, they were unwilling to get close to the city wall. Instead, they trampled several of their own people to death while retreating.
"Chief, why don't we just shoot rockets at the two elephants? Wouldn't it be possible to kill them directly this way?" A new tribesman saw the scene under the city wall and couldn't help but offer a suggestion.
Luo Chong glanced at him expressionlessly, and then said four words in a somewhat cold tone.
"I want to live."
On the other hand, with the defeat of the two elephants, the last support of the totem warriors, the north gate of Fumaguan finally calmed down. Basically, everyone who should have entered had already entered. There were only two elephants and sixty or seventy totem warriors left outside the city, but this number of people no longer affected the overall situation. Luo Chong immediately ordered the north gate to be closed.
With the sound of the winch and pulley on the tower, the gate hanging vertically on the city wall was lowered, and then the bolt was inserted from above, completely closing all the exits of the city.
At this moment, in addition to the five or six hundred people who were either smoked to death or lost in the dark forest, there were also sixty or seventy people who retreated with the two elephants. Of the nearly 3,000 people dispatched by the cannibals this time, more than 2,000 have been locked up in this big urn by Luo Chong.
The end that awaits them may be a mine, a road, or a city. As the price of invading the Han tribe, they will have to work for the Han tribe for half their lives to redeem the mistakes they have made.
At the same time, when the situation at Fuma Pass was initially determined, the two Azuka giant eagles also carried Luo Chong's latest orders and flew to the big tree in Liuyang County and Youye who was waiting in the upper reaches of the Rushui River.
