Chapter 1172: Fierce Tactics

~7 min read 1,335 words

"Quick, adjust the angle, keep reloading!"

After the first attempt, the two Strong Crossbows were immediately adjusted into position and then rapidly reloaded, and Xiong gave the order again: "Cavalry Company, charge!"

Shaoyin and the others also stood up, and facing the enemy that was already in a charging state, they began to fire rapidly and continuously, forcing the other side to not dare to charge for a time.

Once Jiang Cheng's order was given, it forced them to charge and forced them to push their clansmen to the front, which put great pressure on Shaoyin and the others, to the point where they were barely able to reload their Arrows.

Fortunately, the second round of Bombs flew over, and this time they were close to the enemy group; one Bomb exploding was enough to cause thorough damage, gradually throwing the enemy's formation into chaos.

But Shaoyin still did not give the order to charge; wanting to minimize casualties to the greatest extent, they had to utilize their advantages to break up the opposing formation, and their greatest advantages were these long-range Weapons and large-scale destructive Weapons.

He really did not want to charge just yet without letting the Bombs explode for a few more rounds, and looking at the Cavalry, they were still some distance away; it would be better to let the Cavalry make a charge first.

The thick fog dissipated at an extremely fast speed; where the Bombs exploded, the fog was completely gone, forming an area with clear visibility, which also happened to allow the others who were in the thick fog to look carefully and feel the shock.

Jiang Cheng shouted in alarm: "This is impossible! How can this be? The weather is so good, there isn't a single dark cloud, how is he summoning so many Heavenly Thunders? Could it be that the God of Thunder is in their ranks? Why can this Heavenly Thunder appear continuously?"

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Ming were already terrified; this had completely exceeded their imagination. To them, the sound of thunder seemed to never stop; every little while, it would ring out twice. Could it be that the deity who controls Heavenly Thunder is on the other side?

The Soldiers of the Jiang Surname Tribe had been completely terrified out of their wits by such continuous thunder. One or two sounds were acceptable to them because the Tribal Chief had said that the other side had a very powerful Great Shaman.

But the Tribal Chief also said that the Great Shaman on the other side could at most summon one or two; why was it not stopping! Could they still charge?

The Ox Cavalry had already descended the hillside and were advancing at a certain speed. The Soldiers of the assault team watched with great envy, extremely wanting to rush up and hack and kill to avenge their previous grudges. They had lost so many Soldiers and so many comrades had been wounded, and they were still recovering now—how could they endure this?

The Soldiers cleared a path for the Cavalry themselves, and then they saw a group of Cavalry begin to charge at full speed. The people of the Jiang Surname Tribe had their worldview refreshed in a single day; how could the elite of their largest tribe have never seen anything like this!

The Cavalry charged and rammed, directly scattering the opposing Soldiers. Facing Soldiers equipped with Iron Armor, they had no ability to resist and directly began to flee.

Seeing this situation, Shaoyin also stood up and shouted: "Charge!"

Then he hung his Crossbow on his waist, picked up a Spear, and rushed out. The Soldiers who had been watching for a long time could no longer hold back and began to charge at full speed. Seeing the enemy, they went up and stabbed, forming a state of total suppression.

The Soldiers of the Xuanyuan Tribe were also a bit dazed at this moment. They never expected that Huaxia could be this fierce, and that the power of those Bombs was actually so great. Even as allies, seeing such a scene now, they were a bit frightened; fortunately, they were not the ones being attacked.

Seeing that the fog had dispersed, Xuanyuan and the others took out their Telescopes to watch carefully. The battle situation left them feeling a bit incredulous; a war with basically equal numbers had actually turned into a one-sided situation because of Huaxia.

Every time the sound of a Bomb rang out, the hearts of Xuanyuan and the others would twitch. Facing such a great situation, they actually couldn't laugh, because this was a bit too terrifying. This was an attack on the Shennong Clan; what if Huaxia used these Weapons to attack them? Would they have a way to defend, a way to respond?

Xuanyuan put down his Telescope and thought for a long while, but could not think of how they could cope with Huaxia's attacks; he had no way at all.

Limu and Fenghou also felt a bit panicked watching. Such terrifying power, yet they had no mastery of it at all—what should be done? And the Strong Crossbows and bows—they had already tried to make them themselves. They could indeed be made, but no matter how good the wood was or how thick the wood was, it was difficult to make such a powerful bow.

Especially the Strong Crossbows; they were completely unable to make them. Another thing was the bowstring; they discovered that they didn't have any rope capable of withstanding such strong tension. Hemp rope couldn't withstand it at all, and if the hemp rope was too thick, it couldn't be installed with an Arrow. How exactly did Huaxia solve this problem?

Xuanyuan was both fearful and curious, but he was also very clear that Baifeng would never teach him such things. Even with Ironware, after trading for so many years, they could only trade for a little bit each year. It wasn't that Huaxia was stingy, but that such high-quality things really could not fall into the hands of their neighbors.

Now the war had fully begun; the thick fog was replaced by smoke, and the dew had turned into blood. With the protection of armor, the Soldiers were even more fearless. The Soldiers of the Jiang Surname Tribe were hacked and killed until they retreated repeatedly, and the Soldiers of Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe fought with increasing courage. Looking from the mountain, one could see the battle line constantly moving forward, infinitely approaching the camp of the Jiang Surname Tribe.

Jiang Ming and Jiang Cheng were burning with anxiety at this moment, but they were helpless. They could already see that they couldn't fight anymore; they had no way to defeat the other side, especially since the other side had that Great Shaman who could summon Heavenly Thunder, leaving them with no way to parry.

If Fengbo and Yushi were here, communicating with the spirits now to use wind and rain to hinder the enemy's speed, perhaps they would still have the strength for a battle, but now it seemed there was no possibility at all.

Seeing the Soldiers retreating non-stop, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Ming had no choice but to give the order to retreat, and then had all the clansmen pick up their Weapons to resist the other side, at least not letting the other side crush their camp.

Hearing that they could retreat, the Soldiers of the Jiang Surname Tribe stopped caring about what was behind them and began to run rapidly, rushing toward the location of their camp. Shaoyin saw that the Soldiers still wanted to pursue, but after they pursued for a bit, they felt a bit exhausted, so Shaoyin blew the Whistle in time to make the Soldiers stop the charge.

Now their physical strength could no longer support them to continue rushing over; if they rashly rushed into the enemy's camp, the situation for both sides might reverse once again.
