Chapter 573
Four thousand soldiers were wearing red leather armor, each holding weapons, wielding black panthers, trotting out of the array, slowly spreading away, five groups arranged in an order of each other, and in just a moment, they formed the formation. A crisp chirping sounded, and eight hundred small troops jogged, invading the jungle like shadows, spreading forward.
To date, the height of vegetation has been decreasing, and there are fewer and fewer huge beasts. The giant beasts that are hundreds or thousands of feet tall are hard to find. Vegetarian animals that are one or two feet tall have become the mainstream. Correspondingly, the height of carnivorous beasts is also decreasing.
The black panther and the red-tailed wolf living in groups are famous hunters in Shangdong Kingdom. They were captured and cultivated by humans and became an excellent mount, flexible, fast, fierce, and very good at hiding.
However, the red-tailed wolf usually moves in plains, while the black panther lives in the mountains and forests. The two sides rarely interact. Even if they encounter each other, they are afraid of each other, warn each other and will retreat, and generally there will be no conflict easily.
But at this moment, driven by the human race, these two small beasts were about to collide and fight violently.
Due to the size of the body, the mounts used by ordinary humans are generally not too large. Five or six feet is just right, and it is a bit inconvenient to exceed ten feet. After all, an ordinary soldier uses a long weapon, that is, two or three feet long. If the mount is too large, the weapons will not be able to reach the enemy, which is a bit ridiculous.
However, as the cultivation level increases, the killing distance of human weapons is rapidly extending, and the requirements for mount size are relaxed, and the degree of mounts that are concerned about, the degree of mounts, defense, offensive ability, intelligence, etc.
However, these are not what most soldiers on the battlefield can imagine. Most of them are in the Qi training realm. Flying swords cannot be far away or used for a long time. The most suitable and long-term battle with them is the long and short weapons in their hands, so everyone's mounts are almost within ten feet of height.
In order to gain sensitivity, both hunting camps used small beasts about five or six feet tall.
Although the sparse jungle is short, it is still enough for the Red Tail Wolf and the Black Panther to hide. However, at this moment, neither side has the intention of using the jungle to make the journey faster and faster, and soon it crosses thousands of miles and starts to add.
The Black Panther Safari Camp was wearing red leather armor. When moving, it was like a black shadow carrying a little red light. The red-tailed wolf soldier was covered with black armor. The wolf was under the seat, but the wolf tail was like blood. It also had a little red light in the gray-black shadow. From a distance, the two armies were extremely similar.
The two sides were approaching, and a hundred miles away, the soldiers of the Black Panther Safari Camp and the Red Tail Safari Camp rose up and shot out the feather arrows in their hands. Each of them had 12,000 feather arrows were like a black shadow, covering the sky in an instant, and pounced towards the other side like lightning.
Feather arrows all over the sky fell from the middle of the jungle and from the branches, just where the hunting camps were walking.
The safari soldiers had already put away their bows and arrows, took out their long and short weapons, and focused on the flying arrows that were sinking rapidly in the sky and disappeared, either changing the mount rate or shifting their routes to avoid the attacks of the flying arrows.
But all the soldiers dared not slow down. They arrived in a short time when dozens of miles. Once the degree slowed down, they would enter the sight of multiple enemy small corpses, and a continuous attack would come. A person could not accept the continuous attacks of multiple small corpses no matter what.
Only by moving high and changing positions can we avoid being caught by the enemy and have a chance to survive in this battlefield.
Li Jing frowned slightly and said, "The Red Tail Wolf Hunting Camp is good. The Liu family in Anyang is indeed worthy of being a million-year-old family. It is powerful and powerful in Anyang. Such an army's combat power is not worse than that of the field army."
Dozens of generals and officials from the Li family nodded, and their proud expressions became more restrained.
Since the Li family is ambitious for Shangdong Kingdom, they are naturally very concerned about the strongest military strength of Shangdong Kingdom.
Twenty-six field legions were in the hands of the king Tang family and the six elder families. The king Tang family directly controlled eight legions, and the six elder families each controlled three legions.
Therefore, the king of Shangdong Kingdom did not gain absolute advantage over the elders. The seven major families checked and balanced each other, but they each acted independently and maintained the rule of Shangdong Kingdom.
Suiningzhou and Jiqingzhou were in chaos, and the entire prefecture was full of tricks, but Shangdu and Guofu still did not come up with a positive response.
It is because such a quelling of chaos is extremely expensive and will cause certain damage to the field legion. No one wants to be a sucker. The interests are not clearly divided, and each family is taking care of first, which is to preserve the strength of their own family.
After all, the trend of turbulence in the world is becoming more and more obvious. If your family retains more military strength, they will have more ability to survive in the future turbulence.
The Li family actively bribed the generals of the field army and knew very well the strength of the Shangdong Kingdom Field Army. Therefore, these generals who had been trained for many years knew that their military strength was not worse than that of the Guofu Field Army. They gradually developed a sense of superiority to the armies of other states and prefectures, especially local armies directly under the generals at all levels.
But now the real ground war has only emerged that no family that can survive for millions of years is simple.
Although the Liu family in Anyang is powerful and prosperous in Anyang, it is also an inconspicuous existence in the entire Shangdong Kingdom. Among the first-class families, it is only a middle and lower reaches. However, a partial army sent out at this moment actually has the combat power of the main force of the Li family.
All the generals and officials of the Li family instantly adjusted their attitude. The enemy was not weak, and they and their subordinates were not bad. However, to win, they had to prepare carefully and be cautious.
In the middle of the battlefield, the slight running sound of rustling and rustling weapons were instantly replaced by the sound of sudden and shrill sound of weapons breaking through the air. The trees fell down with a bang, and the dust in the sky was raised.
Countless black shadows circling on the ground, swinging the halberds, and the hammers hit. Flying swords swept past, the sharp blades flowed, the dull sound of the sledgehammer hammer hitting the body, the screams of the sergeant before his death, the shrill wolf howls and leopards filled the entire battlefield.
All the safari soldiers were in high movements. They were hit and landed, and there was almost no chance that they would jump onto the back of the mount. As soon as they stood up with minor injuries, they cut the flying sword of the enemy who had passed by. They were cautious and lying on the ground, moving to a low-lying place with the mount, avoiding the enemy's attention, and temporarily saving their lives with the terrain.
The hunting camp will not directly hit the mounts under them. Their mounts are all light beasts. If they hit ordinary vegetarian beasts, they will have to have Venus eyes and broken feet.
They usually circle around the enemy, tearing off a bit of flesh and blood from their prey, constantly bleeding the prey, and then rushing to dismember the prey when it is exhausted.
The Black Panther Sergeant and the Red Tail Wolf Sergeant rushed around the other party, not only to concentrate on defending the opponent's attack, but also to wait for an opportunity to find the opponent's flaws. The two sides are so close that only by finding the opportunity will it be a killing one blow.
In the two armies, there were countless trees flying and dust rising high. The soldiers of the safari camp covered each other, striking and slashing. You bit my tail, I rushed to his flank, and eight thousand people fought together.
After circling and impacting each other several times, the movement directions of the eight thousand safari soldiers slowly became consistent, running wildly in the same direction, and enemies seemed to exist in each small body, back and left and right.
