Chapter 56 The Enemy Attacks
"Damn it, they're here so soon? Judging from the situation, the enemy should be not far from this camp."
There was no time to dwell on this issue. After receiving the news, Shi Lei rushed to the outskirts of the Black Forest and gave a direct order for the slingers to move forward.
The other party already knew of their existence anyway, so there was naturally no need for them to hide.
Under this premise, the empty wasteland outside the Black Forest is just the right place for the slingers to display their greatest value.
As for the stone bullets needed by the slingers, Shi Lei had people carry several baskets of them over before dark yesterday and stored them outside the Black Woods, taking into account that a battle could break out at any time.
There is nothing much to say now. They will just set up their formation and launch an offensive as soon as the opponent enters their attack range.
The slingshot spun at high speed, making a whirring sound.
As the slingshot started to spin, the primitive people on the opposite side seemed to react. After a commotion, the originally relatively densely packed positions quickly became dispersed.
Shi Lei's face darkened as he saw this scene.
In the previous battle between the Black Moon Tribe and the Salt Lake Tribe, he had personally experienced the power of the slingshot.
After joining Zhou Xu's army, he gained a deeper understanding of the slingshot.
He knew that the biggest drawback of the slingshot was its lack of accuracy.
Except for those with extraordinary talents like Zhou Chongshan, the other slingers in their tribe can basically only make the stones fly in a general direction.
Under this premise, once the enemy disperses their formation, the chances of the stone bullets hitting the target will be pitifully low...
Shi Lei doesn't think this is just an accident.
Judging from the reaction just now, the other party clearly noticed the existence of the slingshot and responded to it.
At the same time, when fighting broke out between tribes, in order to increase their offensive power, tribal members mostly advanced in groups, and it was basically impossible for them to run around in such a scattered manner.
This gave Shi Lei reason to suspect that the other party might know about the weapon called slingshot.
For Shi Lei, this is not a good thing no matter how you think about it.
But now, he had no other choice but to follow the original plan, calculate the distance accurately, and let the slingers start attacking in order to inflict some damage on the opponent.
And the results were entirely predictable.
Faced with an enemy that was well prepared, the limited number of slingers posed little threat to them.
At that moment, the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, and Shi Lei made a prompt decision and gave the order directly.
"Get back to the woods!"
The number of people on the opposite side far exceeded theirs. At a glance, there were at least thirty or forty of them.
On the other hand, in their Salt Lake Camp, including Shi Lei himself, there were only nineteen people in total.
There is no chance of winning in a head-on fight. The wise approach is to hide in the dark forest and use the geographical advantage it brings to deal with the enemy.
A chaotic battle soon broke out in the dark forest.
However, the trees in this black forest are not lush enough after all, and the geographical advantage they can bring to Shi Lei and his team is relatively limited.
Relying on the limited geographical advantage, facing the enemy whose number was more than twice theirs, by the time Zhou Xu and his men arrived nearby, Shi Lei and his men had already been beaten back step by step, and each of them was injured.
Relying on the power of the 'Eye of Insight', Zhou Xu quickly found their traces.
Without time to think, he quickly took Zhou Chongshan and others to join the battle.
Holding a stone axe, Zhou Chongshan was unstoppable all the way. After chopping down three members of the enemy tribe along the way, he quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding enemies.
"Come here, come and help!"
Amid the shouts, members of the enemy tribe gathered here one after another.
As soon as they turned around, they were surrounded by a dozen enemies holding bone spears.
However, facing this situation, Zhou Xu was not panicked at all.
With Zhou Chongshan alone, they would not be afraid of facing more than a dozen enemies in terms of combat power, let alone with him being there.
No need for nonsense, facing the siege, Zhou Chongshan and his men immediately threw the skeletons on their backs to the ground.
At the same time, Zhou Xu did not say anything and directly launched the mantra.
[Controlled by Skeleton Soldiers! ]
Instantly, accompanied by a 'click' sound, the skeleton soldiers with green ghost fire burning in their eye sockets crawled up from the ground one after another.
This scene undoubtedly frightened the enemy on the opposite side.
“It’s moving, the skeleton is moving!!!”
As the screams came, the clouds in the sky coincidentally moved, blocking the sun, which was already hidden behind the clouds, even more tightly, making the whole world darker at this moment.
The gloomy sky, the skeleton with ghost lights burning in its eye sockets, and the strangely shaped trees in the dark woods.
The scene was so weird that the enemies on the opposite side were so frightened that their hair stood on end. Their entire momentum was lost at once, and they stepped back unconsciously.
During this process, Zhou Chongshan would not be polite to them. He brought five tribal members and rushed forward with stone axes, attacking anyone he caught with the axe.
When bone spears were used in the past, their lethality was relatively limited.
Generally speaking, unless the stab hits a fatal point, it is difficult to cause effective damage to the opponent and make him lose his combat capability.
But now, after the weapon was replaced with a stone axe, the destructive power was undoubtedly greatly enhanced.
In addition, Zhou Chongshan's attacks have always been full of explosive power. If the axe hits the opponent's head, the opponent will most likely die, and if it hits the hands and feet, it will definitely cause serious injuries.
Now that the two sides are at war, Zhou Chongshan naturally cannot show mercy.
Not to mention that they are now outnumbered. In order to ensure their chances of winning, the important thing is to quickly reduce the opponent's combat power.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Chongshan's every move was as ferocious as possible.
The axe smashed down, and one enemy was unable to dodge, and his head exploded like a watermelon.
In just a blink of an eye, in the eyes of the enemy, Zhou Chongshan's terror had completely overwhelmed the previous skeleton soldiers!
In this life-and-death era, Zhou Xu showed no sympathy for his enemies. With a glance, the skeleton soldiers around him picked up the bone spears handed to him and moved along with them.
Following Zhou Xu's instructions, they lined up and stabbed in one direction, forcing back the figure that was trying to attack.
The opponent obviously didn't expect that his attack would be seen through.
After quickly creating distance and ensuring his own safety through several backward jumps, the expression on the figure's face was more of astonishment than annoyance at the failed attack.
Zhou Xu was quite calm about this. The guy's movements were indeed swift and agile, but he could not escape the sight of his "Eye of Insight"!
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, the other party's voice rang out...
"Now it's completely confirmed that you are the one who controls these skeletons with the mantra!"
“…”
The update is here, and I would like to thank my book friends '随便及简单' and '华哥小天地' for their rewards!
