Chapter 1596: Xingtian's Counterattack

After the previous battle, having provoked Xingtian, Baifeng and Xuanyuan were thinking about tactics against the Xingtian Tribe. Moreover, Baifeng still had to guard against Xingtian; this man was truly too fierce and was genuinely capable of posing a threat to the Huaxia Cavalry.

Baifeng's original intention was to prepare rafts, then take advantage of the night to travel upstream, and then launch an attack on the Xingtian Tribe's camp from across the bank, because the Boshui was not very wide, the attack distance was sufficient, the current was also slow, and traveling upstream was not strenuous.

There was also no need to fear the people of the Xingtian Tribe entering the water to counterattack; after all, the Boshui was quite deep, and once humans entered the water, their combat effectiveness basically dropped to the minimum, and Huaxia could also quickly return by riding the rafts.

But the trouble was that not many rafts had been made, so they could only accommodate a small number of people to go and carry out small-scale harassment.

Once the two calculated it, they felt it was not worth it, because such harassment would expose one of their tactics; they should rely on this tactic to achieve unexpected and great results, rather than such meager gains, so the two abandoned this idea. Plus, they had already fought several times that day, the Soldiers were a bit exhausted, and with the rotation of guards, there were not many Soldiers at their peak combat effectiveness left.

Therefore, today they thought they would not move anymore, and would see how Xingtian prepared to respond and what kind of actions he would take.

Xingtian had been frustrated for a whole day, but he was also a bit powerless. The combat methods of Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe were the most bizarre he had ever seen; all kinds of things he had never seen before had appeared, and he was a bit tired of dealing with them. However, it was impossible to just take the beating like this, so he still had to counterattack, and wait until he had probed the enemy's full strength clearly before plotting a fatal blow.

After Xingtian returned, he immediately had people follow his previous idea to set up wooden sticks and stakes in the open areas around the camp to block the Huaxia Cavalry, or simply pile up thorny bushes to block those open positions.

As for the narrow spaces between trees, they were guarded by people, with long wooden poles prepared to intercept the Cavalry.

However, they truly had no way to deal with the Heavenly Thunder of Huaxia; they could only say that they would hide when they saw it. Today, they had already suffered great losses from being bombed by that Heavenly Thunder, and everyone was a bit terrified at the mention of thunder, to the extent that when they heard something fall to the ground, they would hurry to run far away.

This really could not be blamed on their Soldiers; the methods of Huaxia were a bit unfathomable. Xingtian now also understood why those people of the Jiang Surname Tribe could not beat Huaxia; this was indeed hard to fight, and apart from himself, he was afraid there was really no one who was their match.

The Arrows that Xingtian ordered people to make also had some finished products. Although they were still far worse compared to those of Huaxia, they were basically decent. When Xingtian used them, the accuracy and distance were much stronger.

But there was a troublesome problem, which was that their Xingtian Tribe did not have many bows. In their Xingtian Tribe, the bow was not a particularly valued item, so there was not much of a reserve. They also knew that making a bow was not something that could be used just by tying two ends of a stick; it had to be carefully crafted to achieve sufficient power.

At the very least, in the selection of materials, one could not be so casual, so they could not make many bows on short notice, and the power was also small.

But Xingtian, suffering from not having enough long-range attack means, had to have people hurry to make some bows. If the quality was a bit poor, so be it; if the power was a bit small, it didn't matter, as long as they could form a certain level of intimidation against Huaxia. Plus, they could also produce Arrows in large quantities; with so many women and Slaves, making Arrows was simple. By winning with quantity, he believed Huaxia would not be so wealthy as to use Arrows with Iron Arrowheads casually, right?

And even if they used them, it didn't matter; if they shot them over, they would all pick them up for their own use. How could they not like better Arrows and not go pick them up?

But to say that Xingtian would send Soldiers to launch a counterattack now, he could not do it either, because the camp had not even been secured yet, and they had already been harassed several times, and the Soldiers were also very tired.

Therefore, until nightfall that day, nothing happened. Both sides maintained vigilance, just waiting for the other to come and attack, but they did not wait for it.

Early the next morning, Xingtian was prepared and had people start to launch a surprise attack. Just as the sky was brightening, it was the time when people were most likely to relax. He figured that Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe must be the same. His requirement for the Soldiers was to withdraw after attacking, and not to get bogged down in the fight, as they were, after all, on someone else's territory.

And he did not just send out one team of Soldiers, but sent out three teams to carry out sneak attacks on two positions of the Huaxia Xuanyuan Tribe Alliance one after another.

As long as one side of the Huaxia Soldiers was attacked, the other directions would definitely have to pull people over to support. What he wanted was to launch a fierce attack on the side with empty troop strength during this gap, and as for the side that attacked first, they would withdraw immediately upon seeing the support arrive.

He prepared three teams of people; the third team was the support halfway, covering the Soldiers' retreat and also intending to scare off the pursuers.

Although it looked like he had arranged it very fiercely, in reality, he did not send many troops. A total of three teams sent out more than seven hundred Soldiers to fight a small-scale harassment battle. Before completely figuring out the strength of the Huaxia and Xuanyuan Alliance, he was not prepared to commit all his Soldiers at once. After all, Huaxia was quite different from the enemies they had encountered before, so he had to be cautious and more cautious.

On the Huaxia side, the tactics were diverse, the equipment was excellent, the Soldiers were highly trained, and the discipline was good, but the shortcoming was the lack of experience; the battles they had fought and the enemies they had seen were a bit few.

And Xingtian did indeed grasp their psychology and state. In the early morning, when the sun had just come out, it was the time when the Soldiers of Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe had the lowest vigilance, and after several rotations, the Soldiers on duty at this time were still somewhat exhausted, their attention was not focused, and of course, it was also related to Huaxia eating breakfast at this time.

They already had a regular diet; at this time in the morning, their stomachs were more punctual than anything else, they would feel hungry on their own, and somewhat tired.

By the time they discovered the enemy attack, it was already a bit late, and their reaction was a bit slow. The Soldiers of the Xuanyuan Tribe, who had no armor and slightly inferior Weapons, became the main targets of the Xingtian Tribe Soldiers' attack. Although they knew that those Soldiers wearing armor and holding better Weapons must have higher status and were elites, they also knew that their attacks on such Soldiers were limited, so it was better to leave the first wave, which was also the most powerful wave of attacks, for those Soldiers who had no protection.

Their method of attack was to first throw Spears for long-range attacks, and then engage in close-quarters combat. The power of the thrown Spears was still quite large, and the first wave of attacks had already caused more than a dozen Xuanyuan Tribe Soldiers to be seriously injured or killed.
