Chapter 414: The First Test of the Western Territory [Tal]
Tar let the warriors stand on time and move westward with Amy, Gary and a few agile warriors;
In less than half an hour, Taal saw the "fence" described by the scout.
That was not a fence at all, but a "city wall" made of wood;
The treated stakes stand upright next to each other on the ground; their backs are fixed with horizontal wooden boards.
The walls are not high, only about one person; but their existence is quite obvious.
Don't let people pass.
Or, if you want to get over, you have to put in some effort.
Taal saw a patrol near the city walls with sentries riding horses - they were bored and not serious, but...
The trees were cut down cleanly at half a mile near the city wall, providing a good view for patrolmen;
If someone nearby wants to climb over a wooden wall, they will definitely see it.
"Don't act rashly." Tar ordered, "Although there seem to be only a few reconnaissance cavalry, there may be barracks of barbarians nearby."
He ordered the two Korri warriors to investigate in parallel to the direction of the city wall, respectively north and south;
Then he asked someone to climb onto a branch close to the edge of the woods, trying to observe the condition on the other side of the city wall.
After giving the order, Tar returned to the team - it was necessary to demonstrate the importance of the next action with these rash men, especially the need to make these people speak in a low voice... shout louder, and maybe the patrol barbarians will hear it.
...
the next day.
Tar realized that these Korri warriors were a little nervous.
On the one hand, they are warlike, and their long-term low-key move forward makes them feel a little overwhelmed;
On the other hand, the powerful combat power of the barbarians made them feel a little discouraged - can such a person really resist the enemy?
The scouts sent out had also returned smoothly and brought back the information Taal wanted.
Going north towards this place is a surging river - judging from the level of building bridges, building ships and swimming for these two thousand people, it is very difficult to get over it.
If there is a problem with the bridge or ship, there may be more people drowning than attacking. Taal denied this direction.
To the south, there is a village at the end of the forest; the village is quite large, and the most important thing is that there are many soldiers wearing armor there, and the number is not much smaller than that of the villagers.
It is not difficult to guess why such a village exists-the soldiers guarding the "city wall" always have to eat, and they will be provided with food;
And trying to attack there... is not much different from the barracks that directly attack the barbarians, so this direction was also rejected.
Then you can only find a place to break through the wall on the front.
After observing the wooden wall, Taal asked several soldiers to pick up the big trees with a relatively long distance to cut off a few, then cut off their branches, leaving only the thick trunks, and finally processed them like the kind of cone that Kru had made before.
Although this wooden cone is difficult to cause any effective damage to the real city walls and gates, it is still okay to destroy the same wooden walls - you should be able to knock down the wooden stakes and wooden boards inserted into the ground directly.
The scouts on the opposite tree were responsible for observing the opposite side to Taal. On the other side of the city wall, the trees were not cut down, but a path that could be passed by cavalry.
It seems that this "city wall" is to defend against the Kerui tribe who entered the Western border from here... perhaps also has the function of intercepting monsters;
In order for these two thousand people to successfully cross the wall, Tarr planned a strategy - this time he had to go through it separately with Amy.
...
"Keep low-key and don't make too loud noises!" Taal whispered in the dense forest with dozens of tribal warriors.
The dozens of tribal warriors carried eight thick cones; they watched their feet move forward carefully, fearing that they would stagnate and fall to the ground - that would lead to the wasted of all their efforts.
They walked all the way to a place not far from the edge of the forest, stopped and gently lowered the slamming cone.
Amy wasn't with him - she had more important work to do now.
"See those patrol cavalrymen?" Tar, who was squatting in the bushes with the soldiers, pointed to the soldiers patrolling beside the wooden wall and whispered, "We cannot compete with them head-on! Brothers will buy time for us later, and then launch an attack!"
After saying that, Tar kept everyone quiet while keeping a watchful eye on the sounds on the south side;
No special signals are needed; so many people shouting are enough to cross a considerable distance.
The next thing to do is wait...
...
On the other side, Amy and two thousand Corey warriors were already in the jungle.
They hid in the dense forest; not far ahead of them was the attack site they had chosen.
Since Amy has been following Tar, her position in the minds of the Corey warriors is like an assistant to the chief - of course, they also know the other relationship between the two.
She will act according to Taal's wishes, so everyone can listen to her.
"All staff, prepare." Amy's voice was not loud;
After hearing this, the soldiers around them raised their left hands to their heads, indicating that they had already taken their seats;
The soldiers behind them also followed the way they looked and raised their left hands - this was to remind the people next to them to be ready.
When it is necessary to keep quiet, he uses gestures to convey information, and for this reason Taal has spent a lot of effort to train them.
Not far from the attack site, a thick door was opened on the wall; after the scouts observed, behind the door was a small camp with at least two hundred fully armed barbarians.
Everyone knows what will happen when fighting head-on; not to mention that there is more than one such camp on this line of defense.
But Amy's goal is not to defeat them at all.
In fact, she could easily smash these wooden walls by herself;
But Tar was unwilling to do that; he said he hated the use of the power of the black dragon, but he thought in his heart that he didn't want Amy to take risks - although she was extremely powerful and skillful, she would not be invulnerable to swords and guns.
Moreover, Tar also ordered Amy not to participate in the battle - fortunately, Amy, as a woman, would not have any complaints even if she didn't go into battle to fight those Corey warriors.
After the whole staff was ready, Amy took out a horn flute - it was the gift that Tar gave her with the spoils after hunting the monster;
Tarr believes that Amy's light and pleasant voice is really inappropriate to use as a battle cry.
Amy took a deep breath and blew the horn flute;
The low and heavy flute sound broke the tranquility of the jungle;
Immediately, the shouts and roars of the soldiers made the forest boil;
The birds that were originally resting on the branches were frightened, and the beasts that were dormant among the shrubs were frightened away;
The attack of the tribe warriors began.
