Lord of the Misty World

Chapter 342 The Actions of the Barbarians
"Rune Flare, hit the sky, observer, determine the enemy's position."

On the city wall, the commander yelled, and soon, a combat team next to him took out a grenade gun, and a large bullet with a white surface was spectacularly inserted.

"boom."

A dull voice sounded, and the next moment, a light source like a small sun flew into the sky, and the dazzling light streaked across the night sky, illuminating the forest.

At this moment, the artillery observer on the city wall quickly found the barbarian's position in the forest, and the light stick in his hand quickly sent a signal to the artillery position behind.

"The coordinates are confirmed, let's fire."

Seeing the news from the front line, the observers on the artillery position immediately roared, almost in a roaring tone.

Here, more than a dozen large-caliber cannons quickly adjusted their angles, and two arm-thick shells were loaded into the barrels.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom."

The bombardment of the artillery played a huge role in the entire battlefield. Even a silver-level powerhouse could not resist the bombardment of the field artillery.

A shell shot across the sky and fell into the dark mountain forest. The originally tall trees had been blown into sawdust, mixed with corpses and soil, scattered around.

Flares, launched by grenade guns, contain a basic aura storage unit and a flash rune, which can emit dazzling white light and last for 1 minute.

The first round of shelling found the barbarian troops in the forest. Under the cover of artillery fire, a large number of barbarians died in battle.

But with the flares, the barbarians found that they were attacked by the enemy's artillery during the siege, and they could only attack the enemies on the city wall. In this way, their own losses were much more than the enemy's.

The commander of this barbarian army watched the first round of flares go out, and the second round of flares continued to rise into the sky, making the entire battlefield as bright as day.

The enemies rushed up the city wall in batches, as if they were in a steady stream. As the commander of this barbarian army, the barbarian Mr. Wan said to his deputy.

"Order the troops to retreat and pay attention to the dead bodies of our people."

"Woo--, woo--, woo--."

A low-pitched horn sounded, and the savages heard the sound of the retreat horn, and one by one they led the fallen companions around them, and quickly retreated.

These barbarians themselves were powerful, and after retreating, they distanced themselves from the city wall in two or three strokes, and quickly disappeared into the forest under the cover of night.

"ended."

As the barbarians withdrew into the forest, this time the battle was considered to be over. The original strong city wall was smashed into potholes, many wounded soldiers needed medical treatment, and many soldiers were killed by the burning stones comparable to artillery shells.

Throughout the night, the entire valley was busy. It was not until the early morning that the battle of this time was counted.

Excluding the ammunition fired, more than 300 soldiers were killed in battle, more than 200 were seriously injured, and thousands were slightly injured.

Since the barbarians took all their bodies away, it is not clear how many enemies were killed, but according to the situation on the battlefield, there should be several hundred people.

After this night raid, the barbarians knew that the defense force of Qinghe Territory was strong, and without a strong siege force, they would not be able to gnaw at the tough bone of Qinghe Territory.

The Qinghe leader also knew that this time the opponent was stronger than the enemies he had encountered before, and the stones thrown by a barbarian were equivalent to cannonballs.

Moreover, the individual soldiers are powerful. If it weren't for the fact that the city wall was relatively high this time, these barbarians would be able to climb the city wall with two jumps, so they simply didn't have much defensive power.

Next, the city wall must continue to be heightened and reinforced, and more defensive facilities need to be deployed along the mountains.

After all, the Qinghe leader has no plans to attack for the time being. Now that the legions have just expanded and are still in the process of adapting to reorganization, it is not a good time for large-scale battles.

Moreover, after a long period of development within the Qinghe Territory, it has a good momentum of development. If a large-scale war is set off, almost the entire territory's supplies will need to be mobilized.

For the Qinghe Territory, this is not worth the loss. It is better to step up the construction of fortifications and defend them for two or three years, and wait until the Qinghe Territory's legions have almost expanded and are attacking.

At least until the railway is repaired, the army of Qinghe can rush to the front line quickly, which can save a lot of transport personnel and increase a lot of combat situations.

The next day, perhaps the barbarians also lost more, and did not act for a whole day.The whole day gave the mountain army a chance to strengthen their defenses.

Especially for this line of defense, all the troops drawn from the east, west and rear were added to the strongholds in the mountains.

At the same time, because of the presence of telegraphs in the entire area, the command center was withdrawn and established in a city in the center of the rear.

And relying on the three cities built by the Mountain Army as a base, store a large amount of war materials, and build a large field hospital as a war logistics base.

And because there will be a long war here, Di Feng also personally issued an order to dispatch an engineering team with earth elemental mages from the rear to open up some tunnels in the mountains here.

It includes a tunnel capable of accommodating two parallel railways, and a road tunnel.

On the third day, the barbarians attacked again. This time, it wasn't just this pass, but the barbarians also appeared at another pass that occupied a key position.

But this time, the barbarians faced the deployment of more targeted defenses, and more soldiers.Because barbarians need a lot of guns to kill, then increase the number of machine guns on the defense line.

Because the pass is easy for barbarians to climb, so the city wall was heightened and thickened for a long time, and rune traps were added, and runes were engraved on the city wall to enhance the defense ability.

This time, not only the valley, but also the hills on both sides, such dangerous places, also set up positions for long-range strikes.

But this time, the barbarians brought shields blessed by totems. These shields themselves carry powerful power, just like the rune shields of Qinghe collar, they can resist the bullets fired.

Defenses were added to the vulnerable catapults, and the soldiers also brought javelins made of trees.

These javelins were able to fly over the wall and fall behind the wall under the great force of the barbarians, and some camps behind the wall were hit by the javelins.

These javelins with blood energy and flames can penetrate rocks. Even ordinary soldiers wearing rune armor will be hit by the stronghold impact brought by the javelins.

The various departments of the two sides targeted the enemy, and fought back and forth again. The war lasted for a day, and both sides suffered casualties. Until night fell, the barbarians retreated again, announcing the end of the day's battle.

According to statistics, the Mountain Army killed hundreds of people and seriously injured hundreds of people, but wiped out about 2000 enemies, which was a relatively large blow to the barbarians.

After all, according to the number of barbarians attacking each time, no matter how you look at it, there are more than 1 people, and a one-fifth loss at one time is also a huge blow to the barbarians.

While strengthening the defense line on the Qinghe leader's side and treating the wounded, the barbarians also stopped attacking.

In a valley twenty kilometers away from the pass, a large number of barbarians are stationed here.

This is the camp of the [-] barbarian team, but at this time, there are a large number of wounded in the camp, and the rest of them are also wounded.

In this valley, in a fur tent, which was lit by torches at this time, a group of tall barbarians were sitting together.

One of the savages spoke loudly to the savage sitting on the throne.

"Master Wan, we can't continue fighting now. In the past few days of fighting, my thousand-man team has lost more than half. If we continue to fight, my thousand-man team will be gone."

"That's right." A big man beside him said with the same excited expression. "Now my thousand-man team has been reduced by half, and many of the brothers who followed us are gone."

"This time I didn't expect the enemy to have so many special weapons, and there is also a city wall defense. This time it was my negligence."

The head of the Wan Fuchang opened his mouth to take responsibility, with a serious expression.

"This time, the purpose of our barbarian kingdom sending our troops is to open up the southern mountain range and visit the misty territories south of the mountain range."

"But now it seems that there are still some things in these foggy territories. If we attack by force, we may be able to penetrate the enemy's line of defense, but we will pay a huge price and time.

Every one of our soldiers is very precious. Our barbarian kingdom still has wars with those territories in the wasteland. We can't lose too many soldiers here.

Now I have reported the news to General Icewolf, who is leading the army this time, and now our [-]-strong team is resting here, waiting for orders. "

"Yes."

Hearing that Commander Wan was not ordering the troops to attack, the commanders present all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The barbarian kingdom went south this time, and dispatched a team of [-] people, led by a gold-ranked barbarian warrior named General Icewolf.

There are [-] subordinate teams. At the beginning, all the troops developed smoothly. They traveled all the way across the mountains, hunting wild animals, and looking for suitable areas to build logistics camps.

After advancing for more than 100 kilometers in this way, they encountered the defense line built by the Qinghe Lingshan Army and were blocked.

It was this commander's army that first came into contact with the mountain army, and it was another commander's army that attacked another pass.

Facing the opponent with tall city walls and fierce firepower, the troops of the commander-in-chief were also frustrated in the attack, and had to retreat and set up camp for the time being.

When the news was sent to General Icewolf at the rear, seeing that a ten-thousand commander lost more than 3000 troops in three battles, and more than 2000 were injured, it can be said that a ten-thousand team was directly lost in half.

While being angry, General Icewolf also realized that the enemy this time is definitely not such a simple opponent.Arriving at the front line with the last [-]-strong team, inspecting the soldiers' injuries, and hearing the most detailed reports, General Icewolf even visited the battlefield outside the pass.

Seeing the city walls that were continuing to be heightened and thickened, as well as the various exotic weapons, General Icewolf also clearly realized that this time he was a big enemy and could not be treated lightly.

"Since you can't get through here, then don't use this place as your main attack. I am leading the team this time to test the unknown mist lords in the south.

Now that this place is blocked, let's fight south from other places to see the strength of this fog territory, or the strength of other fog lords. "

Thinking about it, a ten thousand commander was left to lead the team to look at Qinghe's defense line, and instead of launching an offensive, General Icewolf stabilized the logistics and ensured the supply of supplies, and also occupied the camps in the rear one by one. Be the land of the barbarian kingdom.

After going deep into the forest, the beasts in the forest are also resources, which can provide the barbarians with meat and animal skins. Taking this place will also provide some supplies for the barbarian kingdom.

Then, the other two ten thousand men led the troops to bypass the [-]-kilometer defense line of Qinghe collar, and continued to advance south in other directions.

At this time, following the battles with the barbarians in the past few days, Di Feng's diplomatic staff also went to the Kingdom of Grass, the Kingdom of Great Britain, and the Mage Council, which are in contact with the northern mountains, after receiving Di Feng's order.

The country of grass, the hidden village of grass.

In the Caoying building, Caoying personally received the diplomatic team of Qingheling this time.

"You mean that you encountered an intruder coming from behind the mountains in the northern mountains."

Cao Ying asked.

"Yes, Lord Grass Shadow, our mountain army stationed in the north has already fought the enemy a few times. The enemy is very powerful. The Lord Lord means to make the Country of Grass be careful."

"I understand. Messenger, you have worked hard all the way. Let's rest for a day in this city of grass."

Cao Ying also attaches great importance to the warnings of Qinghe Territory, a powerful territory that defeated him. Being able to let the enemy remind him of this proves that the enemy's strength is absolutely extraordinary.

Although the Country of Grass and the Qinghe Leader are not fighting, they are still rivals in essence. If they can see their side being injured, it will be a good thing for the Qinghe Leader.

Therefore, Cao Ying attaches great importance to it.

Immediately found the squad leader of the upper ninja class, and talked about the matter with the squad leader of the upper ninja class.

"Who is going to be sent by Sokage-sama to guard the northern border now?" Jonin squad leader also asked after hearing Sokage's words.

The enemy appeared from the north. If it is not blocked, it will be a new enemy. The country of grass itself has developed very well in recent years.

There are many ninjas graduating every year, and a lot of ninjas have been added in these years.And there are seven jounin, and the emergence of many new generation ninjas has enhanced the power of the country of grass.

Now for the Country of Grass, the sudden appearance of enemies in the north is a big threat.

"Because there are a large number of wilderness areas in our own territory that have not been developed. In recent years, our soldiers have attached great importance to the northern mountain range area, and only dispatched a ninja brigade there. Not very strong."

"Let Takashi Murakami lead the team, with three Jōnin, organize a ninja army of 3000 people in the village, plus the original ninja brigade at the border, to form a line of defense to stop the enemy."

"Understood, I'll make arrangements right away." Listening to her own Sokage's words, the jounin squad leader nodded.

Like the Country of Grass, after receiving the warning from the Qinghe Territory, the King of Knights of the Kingdom of Great Britain also formed an army and sent out a main force of knights to strengthen the defense of the northern mountains.

Further away, the Mage Council, which had just been in contact with Qinghe Territory, didn't pay much attention to Qinghe Territory's warning.

Without knowing the details of the Qinghe Territory, the Mage Council only mobilized some servant knights to the two schools near the northern mountain range to enhance the stability of the city.
