Ten feet outside the wall, there was a sudden shout, and the pirates raised their weapons and began to rush over at an accelerated speed. They did not just rush towards the two gaps, many pirates climbed directly onto the houses. It was obvious that the Dragon Palace members were
The person in charge knew very well that the opponent's manpower was limited and could not defend the entire defensive wall, so he ordered the pirates to forcefully climb the wall and enter.
Hu Jing's archers had retreated to the Poseidon Temple, and for a while they could no longer shoot arrows to stop the enemy. Soon dozens of pirates climbed to the top of the wall, and many more pirates rushed through the unguarded gap.
Come in.
The pirate archers' arrow attack had stopped at this time, because if they continued to shoot arrows, they would hurt their own people. Hua Bushi, who had not issued an order until now, said: "Zhu Hong, form a formation in front of the steps
Defend the enemy!"
Zhu Hong answered yes and ordered: "Those who stab the tiger, leave your position to form a formation, and then change your position to meet the enemy!"
It was too late to react now, and it was too late to stop the pirates from rushing into the defensive wall. When the two hundred Thorny Tiger warriors formed a tiger fighting formation, hundreds of Dragon Palace tribesmen had rushed into the defensive wall, and large groups of pirates continued to follow.
People pouring in through the gap and climbing up the wall have the potential to surround and engulf the Tiger Fighting Formation in one fell swoop.
However, how could two hundred Thorny Tigers be swallowed up so easily!
Just listen to Zhu Hong shouting several times: "Gen, shake position, disperse! Kan, leave position, combine!"
The original simple tiger fighting formation, with Hua Bushi's careful additions, now has a set of instructions named after the Bagua directions. The tiger warriors forming a square formation can be seen advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, sometimes scattering, and sometimes
They struck together, and within a moment, dozens of pirates approaching the steps fell down. The latest chapter of The Game of Different Worlds!
"Qian position, stab! Xun position, pounce!" Zhu Hong gave the command to attack.
The two hundred people in the tiger fighting formation suddenly turned into two groups, interspersed among the large group of pirates, and then attacked each other, and dozens of corpses fell down immediately!
If the pirates' attack this time was just to break into the defensive wall outside the Poseidon Temple, then they had achieved their goal at this time. Unfortunately, although they were able to rush in, they had to face a more ferocious attack than the previous round.
.
When Hua Bushi built this fortification, he did not leave much space inside the wall. The defensive wall was only thirty feet away from the steps of Poseidon Temple. Sima Rulan once thought that with only such a small space, the guards would be
There was no room for maneuver, but little did they know that this thirty feet was the optimal distance for the two hundred Thorny Tigers to attack in formation.
Hua Bushi built this wall not to defend it, but to create a favorable terrain so that the power of the Tiger Fighting Formation could be fully unleashed.
The existence of this defensive wall can not only slow down the speed of pirates rushing in, but also make it difficult for them to get out once they get in. After all, the space of the two gaps is limited, and whether you climb the wall in or out, it is not that fast.
Half of the hundreds of pirates who rushed into the wall fell down in a matter of seconds, while the pirates behind were still pouring in, and the battle formation formed by two hundred tiger warriors seemed to be full of blood.
The tiger with its big mouth eats the fat meat brought to its mouth one bite at a time.
This time the fight is right in front of you, and Sima Rulan can also see the attacking moves of the Tiger Thorns more clearly. For the weapons chopped off by the pirates, these indigenous warriors often do not dodge, but rush towards the opponent quickly.
When you get close, you can bump it with your shoulder or head, and then use the dagger in both hands to slice through it, killing the enemy in the blink of an eye.
As the saying goes, every inch long is strong, every inch short is dangerous. In large-scale battle formations, heavy and long weapons have always been considered more lethal. Most of the weapons used by generals who charge on the battlefield throughout the ages are spears and halberds.
, using a short blade only about a foot long to fight in close combat is extremely dangerous.
However, as a price for the danger, this method of warfare is also the fastest in killing people. Two hundred Thorny Tiger Soldiers pounce on the enemy, and there is never a need to use a second move. Once a pirate who is not familiar with superior martial arts is approached by the Thorny Tiger Soldiers,
They were unable to resist the assassination with two short blades.
Because of this, after several staggered opening and closing changes of the Tiger Fighting Formation, the pirates fell down in pieces like straw, and soon it turned into a one-sided massacre.
During the fight, the Thorn Tiger Warriors often received blows from the opponent's weapons. After several rounds of fighting, most of the black cloth clothes they wore were torn apart, revealing the shiny helmets and chests worn close to their bodies.
Armor, and the originally silver-white stainless steel armor was soon dyed red by blood and turned into a bright red color.
The sound of gongs was heard again in the distance, and the pirates turned around and retreated, and in the blink of an eye they were back a hundred feet away.
This round of attacks, starting from the flying arrow raid, only lasted half the time of a stick of incense. The pirates left as many as six or seven hundred corpses in front of the steps of Poseidon Temple. In terms of the number of damages,
, more than double the previous period.
This time, the Thorn Tiger Warrior faced the enemy alone, without the support of archers, but he had the advantage of the geographical location to rely on. He used the Tiger Fighting Formation to eat up the pirates who rushed into the wall one by one, and the damage he suffered was still not much.
Only eleven people were injured, three of whom were slightly seriously injured, and the other eight had minor injuries to the flesh.
One of the advantages of the Tiger Fighting Formation is that there is no limit to the number of people in the formation. Zhu Hong ordered the injured to come out of the formation to be bandaged. The three seriously injured people were carried aside, while the rest of the people still stood in formation in front of the steps.
It is now past the third watch, which is the darkest time in the long night. The moon has long since disappeared, and the sky seems to have been dyed purple-gray with blood. It is a hazy and chaotic place, and even the stars appear dim.
Hua Bushi stood on the steps, looking at the pirates and horses in the distance, and murmured: "Thousands of people were injured after two attacks. The next time we attack the opponent, we should be desperate, right?"
"Even if those pirates rush over without any hesitation, we will definitely be able to win!" The speaker was Sima Rulan, who was standing next to Hua Bushi with a sword for his younger brother to push him down.
After repelling two large-scale attacks by pirates, all her earlier doubts were gone. She was now full of confidence in the fortifications built by the young master and the combat power of the assassins under the stairs.
Hua Bushi smiled slightly and said: "There is no war in the world that is guaranteed to win, let alone now that the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, the outcome is even more unpredictable. We can only use tricks to see who is in charge of the other party.
It’s time to do something!”
This time, the Dragon Palace tribe was not in a hurry to attack.
The three of them stood on the stone steps in front of the Poseidon Temple and waited for half an hour before the torches in the distance began to shake again. Then there were crowds of people and the dark pirates and horses slowly moved over. This attack was better than the previous two.
The previous charges were much slower. The pirates formed rows of dense formations, which were very neat and tidy, a bit like the momentum of an orthodox army.
The route of the large group of pirates was not like walking along the path in the city the previous two times. Instead, they were running straight towards the Poseidon Temple. With a few muffled sounds, the houses in front of them actually exploded one by one.
collapse!
Seeing this, Sima Rulan was startled and frowned: "What is that sound? Could it be that they pulled out the artillery?"
Hua Bushi stared at it for a moment and said: "Probably not. These pirates want to attack back and forth. In order to move easily, they do not carry artillery, and there was no explosion of fire just now. I guess they probably just cut down trees from outside the city.
, and several catapults were improvised."
In the previous two charges to repel the pirates, in addition to relying on the power of the Tiger Fighting Formation formed by the Thorny Tiger Warriors, the defensive wall built by Hua Bushi also undoubtedly played a very key role. The person in charge on the opposite side was obviously aware of this,
So this time we specially obtained siege equipment, and we wanted to make every step of the way, destroying all the houses along the way, and not leaving any buildings that could be used for defense.
Although these improvised catapults were crude and had a range of only about twenty feet, they were not enough for attacking a fortified city, but they were more than enough to deal with the low-rise houses in the city and the crude defensive walls built by Hua Bushi.
As a result, the Thorny Tigers had no terrain advantage to rely on and could only fight head-on with the pirates.
"Then what should we do? Otherwise Lan'er and Sister Jiangyi rush over and destroy those catapults!" Sima Rulan said.
Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "No. Since the other party uses this tactic, they will definitely take strict precautions against the catapults. Moreover, even if they destroy these few, they can still rebuild them, so they will be of little use."
He suddenly raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Well, if the other side wants a decisive battle, we will fight them! Defense is not the way to win. Defeat these three thousand pirates in one fell swoop. Let's see if the Black Dragon King can't come out!"
Hua Bushi coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Hong, as soon as the pirates are thirty feet away from the stone wall, you lead the assassins to rush out in two groups and catch them off guard!"
Since you can't defend, it's better to attack with force. Attack is the best defense!
If the Dragon Palace tribe had used this method to attack from the beginning, Hua Bushi would not have dared to let the Tiger Thorns rush out like this. Although these indigenous warriors had been trained for more than four months and were familiar with superior sword techniques,
But after all, he has never experienced war, so his experience and confidence are still flawed.
However, in the previous two guard battles, every Thorny Tiger Soldier had already killed people, and the two defeats of the pirates also gave them strong confidence. As the saying goes, "a long battle makes a strong force", these indigenous teenagers have been fighting for a long time from the very beginning.
The most important criterion for selection is to be strong-willed, and they themselves have a deep-seated hatred for pirates. After these two battles, it was enough to change the entire war department.
Zhu Hong's two thick eyebrows knitted together and said: "We have all attacked. If the pirates rush to the Poseidon Temple, they may not be able to defend themselves in time!"
Zhu Hong was not afraid of leading two hundred assassins to fight three thousand pirates, but what he was worried about was the safety of his master Hua Bushi.
Hua Bushi smiled brightly and said: "You form a formation to attack and fight the pirates outside the wall. The opponent's large team should not be able to rush over. Even if there is a small group of pirates attacking, I have my sister and Miss Lan'er by my side."
, and with the protection of two hundred archers, it should be no big deal."
