Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe

Under the pressure of the Phoenix Army's intensive bows and arrows, Jian's deputy led the people rolling and crawling to hide behind the low wall.

Counting in detail, more than 20 people were killed outside.

The deputy was secretly startled, even trembling with fear, and immediately asked someone to bring the bows and arrows made by the tribe, and distributed them to everyone. A row of people stood behind the low wall, fully loaded their bows, and planned to shoot at the Phoenix Army.

It's a pity that in comparison, although the range of the bow and arrow is barely within reach, they can't hit people by swinging left and right, and these people are so angry that they screamed.

Seeing this, Sang Yu immediately ordered the three bamboo spear teams to merge together, protect themselves with Teng shields, and march towards the gate.

The Teng shield of the Bamboo Spearmen is vertical and long, reaching as high as a person's chest. Once bowed forward, the shield can protect the whole body.

The Teng shield carried by the archer is a small round shield, which can only protect the main part of the upper body, but it is light and easy to carry.

The bamboo spearmen attacked first, and then entangled with the defenders when they got close.

The archers followed immediately, taking advantage of the opponent's lack of time to enter their range, to assist in the harvesting of heads.

One hundred and twenty bamboo gunmen lined up in ten rows, with twelve people in a row, forming a square formation.

The front row erected the rattan shields to block the front, and the rear rows followed closely one by one, and moved towards the gate quickly and evenly.

This formation is actually modeled after Alexander the Great's Macedonian phalanx.

In the phalanx, the bamboo spear soldiers held a shield in their left hand and a bamboo spear more than three meters long in their right hand. The shield blocked the left side of the soldier's body, and at the same time blocked the right side of the adjacent comrade's body to another extent.

The bamboo spear soldiers in the front row squatted and pointed their bamboo spears forward, while the soldiers in the second row put their bamboo spears on the shoulders of the front row.

In this way, the frontal combat effectiveness of the square team was further consolidated and its lethality was upgraded.

Once a soldier in the front row fell, the soldiers in the second row immediately stepped forward and quickly filled the gap, keeping the rhythm of the entire formation unchanged.

And the most important thing about this formation is the concerted efforts of all soldiers and the momentum of advancing in unison.

The soldiers followed closely one by one, chanting slogans and moving forward unhurriedly.

The guards had never seen this kind of fighting before, and they were stunned.

But they can almost predict that such a battle type will bring great casualties to their own side.

The tragic death of Jian just now, and the scene of twenty defenders collapsing in unison outside the low wall, still left people with lingering fears. Everyone felt that the tribe in front of them was too weird, and they had already lost the battle before the hand-to-hand combat started. meaning.

"Quick, quick, they are attacking."

"Hurry up, shoot them with a bow and arrow, and don't let them come near."

"No way, the arrow can't be shot at all."

"No, it's not that the shot was inaccurate, it just hit their baffle and fell off."

"waste-"

The deputy was furious and impatient.

Jian is dead, if he can't support Shi to come over, I'm afraid he won't be able to eat and walk around.

"What are you still doing in a daze? If you can't get your bow and arrow up, grab your spear quickly, and fight them when they come up."

In a panic, the little ones quickly discarded their bows and arrows, picked up their spears, and prepared to start a close hand-to-hand combat with the approaching phalanx.

However, they withdrew their bows and arrows, and the archers behind the Phoenix Army lost their threat in an instant, and quickly approached, followed behind the bamboo spear soldiers, and took aim with their bows.

As bursts of arrow feathers pierced the air, the sound of "whoosh" was endless, and the screams of the opposing defenders followed one after another.

The Phoenix Army instantly felt full of confidence, and only wanted to attack the tribe in one fell swoop and defeat Shi's forces in one fell swoop.

But I didn't want to hear a burst of noisy footsteps and shouts, and a large group of people poured out from behind the low wall.

Roughly calculated, no less than four hundred people.

Sang Yu was startled. There were two to three hundred Shi's dead soldiers, and dozens of people were killed by the Phoenix Army just now, so these people are likely to be the neutral faction of the Rock tribe.

Not only that, but there are even a large number of Ya's people mixed in.

Stone reasoned that the tribe was being invaded, and anyone had to fight.

And it can be seen that Ya's situation is very bad. Otherwise, she would not be indifferent when she knew that reinforcements were coming.

According to the original plan, she should have already taken action by this time.

There are four more.

Before the big troops crossed the border, Si Ya had already been sent to sneak into the back of the rock tribe along another road, intending to cooperate with each other.

Sang Yu saw that he was only over 200 people, and he was going head-to-head in other people's territory. He was already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and terrain.

If they fought directly, it would be tantamount to pushing the neutral faction to Shi's side. Nearly 600 people flocked in, and the Phoenix Army would face a fierce battle.

Seeing so many people pouring out, the archers reacted quickly, readying their bows to shoot.

But he heard Bu shouting loudly: "Don't shoot arrows—don't shoot arrows—"

Obviously, this confirmed Sang Yu's conjecture that there were neutrals and people from Ya among these people.

Sang Yu immediately ordered to stop shooting.

The advance of the Bamboo Spearmen Phalanx came to an abrupt stop.

The archers were on standby, not daring to act rashly.

(Everyone pay attention here, many people will have ambiguity, saying that Sang Yu couldn't bear to kill the neutral faction, wrong or wrong, it's not that she couldn't bear it, it's because she only has 230 people.

And this neutral faction is convertible, so don't fight them for the time being and directly anger them, so as not to push these people directly to Shi Na's faction.

Otherwise, a total of six or seven hundred people from the neutral faction and Shi's people would attack with all their strength, and they would not be able to hold it for a while. So temporarily retreat slowly and wait for Ya and Siya's reinforcements. )

"Someone is attacking the tribe. Listen, everyone, rush up and beat me back hard." Shi Gao shouted.

Seeing this, Bu hurriedly shouted at a middle-aged man from the neutral faction: "Elder Baji, it's me, the guests that the young leader asked me to invite, they are members of the Phoenix tribe, and they are also friends of the young leader. "

That man named Baji is one of the elders in the tribe, most of these people in the neutral faction are headed by him.

Before Baji could answer, Shi shouted: "Don't listen to him, this man is a traitor, he deliberately lured people from other tribes to attack our Rock tribe, he should be killed."

Of course Baji knew what was going on, it was just that Ya was unwilling to obey Shi's leadership and brought in reinforcements from outside.

He was a little hesitant, and the people behind him were also afraid of death.

Not to mention whether they can win or not, now that the tribe is controlled by Shi and others, it is simply out of their turn for neutral people like them to make a choice.

Of course, what he didn't dare to say was that most of them had almost accepted that Shi might become the leader of the tribe.

Not to mention helping a tribe who doesn't know the details to attack their own tribe.

"Foreign enemies are invading, you don't rush to fight, do you want to open the door to welcome wolves, tigers and leopards in, do you want to give our rock tribe to others?" Shi kept fanning the flames.

"No, Elder Baji, these are people who came to help the leader. Shi wants to kill the leader and assume the position himself. We can't let him do that." Bu hurriedly explained.

Everyone turned a deaf ear to Bu's words.

Even if Ya trusts this tribe, who knows if these people will have other evil intentions and let people in rashly. When the time comes, the tribe is really destroyed, it might as well be handed over to Shi to rule.

"What are you waiting for? Do you want to be traitors if you don't drive out the invaders?"

"Hurry up and give it to me, whoever dares to take a step back, my spear will not show mercy, and I will kill all your wives and children."

As soon as these words came out, the neutral faction had to fight.

In this way, they will also be placed in the position of sandwich biscuits, with the phalanx of the Phoenix Tribe in front and Shi's two hundred minions behind.

But they were more afraid of threats, so they could only grit their teeth and charge towards the direction of the Phoenix Army, waving their spears.

The situation of the Phoenix Tribe became extremely precarious in an instant.

Sang Yu ordered to retreat while fighting, waiting for the reinforcements from Ji Zhongya and Siya.

"Attention the fighters of the phalanx, keep the formation, and move back little by little."

"Remember, no sorties—no sorties—"

"Archers, retreat to a safe position."

The soldiers of the phalanx were ordered to stand up their spears and not to stab the enemies who were close at hand. They relied on their shields to block them and retreated step by step.

Seeing this, Shi was overjoyed.

"Rush forward, there are few of them, stab them to death."

More than 600 people against more than 200 people, they can be trampled to death.

In order to keep the formation unchanged, the phalanx retreated extremely slowly, which also caused Baji and his group to squeeze directly onto their shields.

The stone spears of the Rock Tribe are undoubtedly well-made, and the Teng Dun of the Phoenix Army is doomed to have less stab resistance in terms of materials.

In addition, there was no offense but only defense. Under the stabbing of the neutral faction and Shi's men, several shields were quickly pierced and torn, and small gaps appeared.

The situation of the Phoenix Army is very passive.

Once the front line of defense is defeated, all the advantages of the Macedonian phalanx will be lost. Under the current open terrain, the archers can't find the best concealment and commanding heights for sniping. The situation is very pessimistic.

Sang Yu looked in the direction of the rock tribe, but Ya's people hadn't shown up yet.

She underestimated the will to fight of this group of neutrals.

However, she couldn't allow her to think too much at this time, and she had to give an order as soon as possible, directly letting the bows and arrows behind them shoot the people of the Rock Tribe indiscriminately, so as to reduce the pressure on the front row.

Or continue to hold on, waiting for support.

If it is the first choice, then it means that the Phoenix Tribe will declare war with these more than 600 people, and there is no possibility of mutual compromise.

Everyone in the Phoenix Army was waiting, waiting for the leader to order a counterattack.

Everyone is persisting, and their persistence comes from their infinite trust in the leader, as well as the will to obey that was instilled during training.

The instructor said, military orders are like mountains.

If there is no order to retreat, you will die on the battlefield even if you die.

In the same way, one cannot raise a bamboo spear without being asked to attack.

At this point they are retreating bit by bit. But in order to maintain the formation, their speed is still very slow.

Sang Yu clenched her teeth.

And Bu also took advantage of the scuffle to climb into the low wall to find Ya after the failed negotiation last moment. Now that the troops are all outside, if there is no accident, Ya should come out soon.

If the stalemate continues without a counterattack, the phalanx will not last long.

Yu and several squad leaders on horseback held bows and arrows and shot on horseback, trying to help the phalanx reduce their burden and damage.

However, Shi's man had his back against the low wall, and the horse couldn't get through at all. Moreover, Shi's man had already known Yu and the others' intentions, and mixed in with the neutral party, making it impossible for them to attack. They could only keep shifting positions and waiting for opportunities.

At this time, the eyes of the people in the phalanx were red, their jaws were almost crushed, and they exerted all their strength to use their bodies against the shields to block the impact of the rows of people in front of them.

At the same time, we must also pay attention to the formation, keep the same pace, and not allow any gaps in any place, so as to give the enemy a chance to take advantage of the gap.

Hoo-hoo-

Everyone was panting heavily, but no one dared to relax.

However, the performance of the shield was still much worse, and someone was stabbed by the opponent.

Not just one person.

The front row of the Bamboo Spear Soldiers is full of hard-bodied warriors, not only men, but also women, and the number is equal. These people are specially selected by Yan, the most durable and strong-willed men and women.

Even if someone had been stabbed several times in the shoulder, the whole body was stained red with blood.

"Hold on—"

Blood spurted out of his mouth, but he still clenched his teeth and continued to persist.

And this scene moved the neutral faction who was biting them hard.

Under the leadership of the mountain, the rock tribe has not fought other tribes for many years. They only see blood when hunting.

But he has never been so desperate when hunting.

But the rows of soldiers in front of them had their chests pierced, and blood spurted out of their mouths. But they didn't have any fear or retreat at all. Their red eyes and resolute faces made them tremble even as enemies.

When has Baji seen such a scene.

My own people stabbed several times, but the opponent held the spear tightly and did not fight back, using his body to bear the damage—

Baji felt that he couldn't do anything. If such a tribe didn't fight back under such circumstances, wouldn't it be detrimental to the Rock tribe?

"Stop—stop—"

Baji shouted: "Don't fight any more."

Like him, the other neutrals in the front row were deeply shocked by the perseverance of the bamboo spearmen of the Phoenix Tribe. They only felt that a one-sided attack was too cruel, and they could only pierce with their eyes closed.

Now that they heard Baji shouting like this, they couldn't bear it anymore, stopped and turned around and shouted together to stop beating.

However, even if they were willing, Shi behind him refused.

Seeing that this group of neutral factions turned against the water at this time, Shi suddenly became furious, and directly ordered his cronies to attack them from behind in the name of supervising the war.

Sang Yu had been heartbroken when she saw the miserable state of her front row bamboo spear soldiers. She told herself that she would only wait for one minute, and then hold on for another minute. If Ya's people don't come out to respond, they will attack indiscriminately and fight to the death.

But in the end, the centrists were the first to compromise.

But such a compromise was bought with the blood of his own soldiers, which is really distressing.

At this time, she was riding on the horse and found that Shi started stabbing the retreating neutrals out of embarrassment, and immediately shouted: "Baji, let your people squat down."

Baji took a deep look at the woman, and then at the two neat rows of archers in front of her, who had already drawn their bows round.

Immediately chanting the centrists: "Squat—squat—"

The bamboo spearmen in front of the Phoenix Army also squatted down quickly, and in an instant, a hundred sharp arrows were shot at the same time, and more than half of the people in the back row fell down in an instant.

Only then did Shi regain his senses, and immediately shouted: "Squat down, squat down with Baji."

Dodge that deadly arrow for those who try to sneak into Baji.

Baji's men had suffered from the enemy before, all thanks to the group behind them. Now these people still want to hide behind them, it is really unreasonable.

Looking at his clansman lying on the ground, and thinking about Shan's situation at this time, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, turned around and picked up his spear to fight with Shi's people.

Seeing this, Sang Yu immediately ordered the team to disband and join the neutral faction to encircle and suppress the remaining hundred or so people in Shi.

In just one stick of incense, the whole situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Phoenix Army was originally suppressed and could not fight back. Now under orders, they swarm to join Baji's team and take crazy revenge on Shi's people.

In addition, dozens of archers immediately transformed into medical soldiers, took stretchers from the horses pulling the goods, and carried the injured front row bamboo gunmen to a safe place, and cooperated with witch doctor Xiang to treat the injuries.

On the other side of the battle, Shi saw that the general situation was over, and he became mad instantly. He stabbed a person with a spear, and the rat fled.

There were also sounds of fighting and killing in the tribe. It seemed that Ya and Siya were mixed in.

Sang Yu was about to bring people in to help, but unexpectedly, there was commotion from the direction Shi fled, accompanied by strange roars, and he suddenly felt bad.

"Roar-"

A huge roar came from Shi's direction.

"Run, it's the tiger that Shi locked up earlier."

Rock tribes also have the habit of capturing animals alive. But not for captivity, but for the coming winter.

They have no farming industry, but rely on these animals as rations.

These animals include carnivores and herbivores, and they travel to different caves.

Now the real talker of the tribe is Shi, and Shi is especially fond of these carnivorous animals. He has a talent that ordinary people don't have in hunting, and he understands the principle of traps. Moreover, there are more people in the Rock tribe, and the soldiers in the hunting team are more than other tribes. What's more, using traps really allowed him to catch several tigers and leopards.

Tigers can endure hunger, and they can go without food for a month if they have enough water. Leopards are almost as good as they can last for seven or ten days.

The one who came was the big tiger who had been imprisoned by stone for more than half a month.

If nothing unexpected, Shi should have let them out.

He knew he couldn't survive, so no matter what, he had to pull people to follow him.

And these hungry tigers did cause great trouble to the rest of the people.

"Run—"

"Run away—"

Everyone fled in all directions, and those who were running slowly were caught in their mouths by the four big tigers that rushed out, biting wildly.

For a time, the whole venue became extremely bloody.

Sang Yu's horse was also startled by these big tigers, neighing and standing upright, throwing her off the horse.

"Protect the chief—"

Everyone shouted anxiously and ran towards Sang Yu.

Yu rode her horse and couldn't get into the crowd, and her anxious eyes were nowhere to rest. Seeing that the Phoenix Army had already lifted Sang Yu up, she turned around and protected the outside.

And Bianyan was ordered to take over the baton when he was in danger, and shouted at everyone to quickly set up their formations. The more chaotic this time, the faster they will die.

"Everyone returns quickly."

"The Bamboo Spearmen are divided into two teams, one to protect the leader and the other to protect the wounded."

"The archers quickly take their positions and enter the center of the phalanx."

"The captain rode his horse and followed closely, on guard at any time, closely following the phalanx—"

"Don't mess—"

"Protect the chief—"

Four huge colorful tigers had all appeared in front of the crowd at this time. One was as long as three to four meters, opening its huge **** mouth and roaring at the crowd.

The tiger could see that he was starved to death. Now when he came out and saw the white food in front of his eyes, he just threw himself down and bit at it when he came up.

After hearing Yan's order, the bamboo spearmen of the Phoenix Tribe moved quickly and stood in two square formations within a few tens of seconds.

One is a phalanx centered on Sangyu, and the other is a phalanx centered on Xiang and the wounded.

From the outside to the inside, two circles of bamboo spear soldiers were surrounded, and then to the archers, the Teng shield wall, and the shield and the center of the shield were interspersed with bamboo spears. Once the tiger jumps over, as long as the formation is not chaotic, it is bound to be inserted into the bamboo spear.

Two big tigers circled around the two phalanxes, looking for a place to bite.

The other two rushed towards the group headed by Baji.

Seeing this, the members of the Phoenix Army felt a little anxious. These people were disorderly and fled around like this. They would definitely be killed by the big tiger one by one.

But they know that only by killing the two ends in front of them can they save others.

From the time when Shi led the people to appear just now, Yu has been riding on horseback, constantly adjusting her position and waiting for opportunities. In the melee, she is best at invisibility, reducing the sense of presence, and will pull the bowstring unexpectedly, taking people's lives without knowing it. unconsciously.

The sharp arrows shot from her hand have pierced the throats of dozens of people, relieving the pressure on the phalanx to a great extent.

At this moment, her gaze has been on Sang Yu's side. Seeing her anxious face now, she knew what her leader was thinking.

Seeing that another member of the neutral faction was about to die in the tiger's belly, Yu hurriedly rode his horse to follow behind, and shot several arrows, two of which hit the tiger in the back.

The big tiger was instantly irritated, turned around, and roared loudly in Yu's direction, shaking people's eardrums almost to rupture.

But he was not willing to put down the food in his mouth, and turned back to continue to bite the prey under his claws.

Unexpectedly, there was another stabbing pain in its back, and another arrow hit its back, causing its long face to distort in pain.

The ferocious beast was finally willing to let go of the poor man in Zhou Zhong, and chased in Yu's direction.

Yu quickly turned his horse's head and ran towards the two phalanxes.

The two phalanxes were surrounded like iron barrels. The tiger wanted to speak but couldn't, and grinned his teeth angrily.

The archers in the center of the phalanx also kept shooting at the tiger.

There were more than a hundred archers, and the tiger was not running all the time, and he was hit by several arrows in a short while.

One of them was so furious that it rushed towards the phalanx without hesitation, and was directly penetrated by the sharp bamboo sticks.

At this moment, Yoyo's roar came from the direction of the Rock Tribe, getting closer and closer, and the soldiers of the Phoenix Tribe were greatly encouraged when they heard this familiar voice.

The patron saint of the tribe finally appeared.

Looking at Siya who ran out from the tribe, her body was also covered in blood.

Sang Yu knew that this guy hadn't shown up just now, so he imagined that the level of fierce fighting inside was no less than outside.

There are tigers outside, and there may be other ferocious beasts in the tribe. This should be the reason why Ya didn't see it when the sky was overturned outside.

Siya rushed into the battlefield, taking advantage of the tiger near the neutral faction being shot by Yuyi's arrow, it grabbed his shoulder from behind, roared, and forcibly tore a huge tiger in half.

Scarlet blood sprayed all over the surrounding people, and the whole scene was extremely bloody.

There were still two tigers left, they had already been hit by several arrows, so they were nothing to be afraid of, Yu rode on his horse and kept replenishing the arrows, forcing them to abandon the group of people and want to flee to the mountain behind.

But how could the people who had succeeded now let it go, the phalanx disbanded immediately, and all the people, led by Si Ya, charged at the remaining two tigers, each with a spear, and directly pierced them.

People who came into contact with the crisis collapsed on the ground.

At this moment, Ya, covered in blood, appeared at the door leading her cronies.

The battle between man and tiger finally subsided.

Ya left the crowd and walked towards Sang Yu, hugging her.

This is her way of expressing gratitude and affection.

No matter how alienated Sang Yu was, she still received such a big hug from her.

With this hug, even her body was stained red.

Seeing that there was nothing good about the other person's body, she hurriedly asked with concern: "How did you make it look like this?"

Ya shook her head and smiled wryly, "I have five leopards in me. Shi had already managed to hunt these beasts a year ago, and locked them in the cave, saying that they would make food for the winter. In fact, they were just to deal with my father. They were all released today."

"Then you're good..." Sang Yu said with a smile, "You guys can handle five leopards, but with so many of us outside, we almost can't handle these four big tigers."

Ya shook her head, pointed at Siya and said, "If you hadn't sent your patron saint in, we might have lost all of us."

"Then you have to give it a head for food."

"It's natural, as long as it likes."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then arranged for people to count the number of people and clean up the battlefield.

And Yu on the horseback, at this time, his eyes are also tightly locked on the two people who live there who are cherishing each other.
