Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron
Chapter 737: Yashan Pass (2)
Not long after, the mountain bay outside the pass was crowded with people, all red-haired and yellow-haired, many of them sporting a pair of short, pointed horns. They were undoubtedly Red Soldiers. A rough estimate put the number at around four or five hundred.
Judging from their appearance, they were mainly thorn warriors from the Claw Tribe and barbarians from the Hoof Tribe. Some of them had brown and black curly hair and a pair of strange eyes that were either red or black. It was the first time that Aqi and Lu Linnan Ge had seen them, and they could not recognize which tribe of the Chisha Kingdom they were from.
Ding Qi frowned and said, "It seems they are going to die again!"
Ah Qi drew the black iron sword from his waist with a clang and said, "I'll go down and meet them, so I can save some arrows."
Ding Qi reached out to stop him, "This won't save many arrows. Their spirit generals haven't even entered the battlefield yet, so there's no need for you to take action."
Aqi had no choice but to put the sword back in.
Hundreds of red soldiers rushed out of the mountain bay shouting and swarmed towards the two wooden ladders on the trench. A red soldier with a big mouth and sharp teeth swung the long whip in his hand and lashed it on the back of a barbarian soldier with double horns on his head in front of him with a snap, and then lashed it on the backs of some other assassins or barbarians.
The beaten Red Soldiers all looked ferocious and roared loudly. The Red Soldiers behind them also roared loudly, as if they were mobilizing for battle.
Ding Qi snorted and said, "The Chisha people are like beasts in nature and haven't yet been fully civilized. What's the point of pretending like this?!"
The archers on the stone wall had already drawn their bows, waiting for the Red Soldiers to rush across the trench so that they could shoot them.
Hundreds of Red Soldiers roared, and the first hundred or two hundred crossed the wooden bridge and rushed towards the stone wall. The rest of the Red Soldiers did not cross the bridge, but stood out of the reach of the arrows, shouting and cheering for those who rushed across the bridge.
Ah Qi was surprised and said, "It's rare that these Red Soldiers don't attack all at once." In previous battles with Red Soldiers, no matter how many there were, they would just charge in relentlessly. This was the first time Ah Qi had seen a group of Red Soldiers stay behind to cheer them on during an attack.
Ding Qi said, "Although the Red Soldiers are stupid and have suffered so many losses, they have learned their lesson and are no longer rushing in to die."
Lu Linnan Ge said, "This seems to be our method of dividing our forces and coordinating them. There are rumors that someone from Cangmu country is giving advice to the Red Army. I think it's true."
Ding Qi nodded in agreement.
When Ah Qi heard Nan Ge say that the Red Soldiers were "dividing their forces and coordinating their efforts," he felt a strange sense of nervousness. He said, "But they've only sent over a hundred or so people. Even though they have a large number of people, they don't need to send themselves to die in vain, do they?"
"These more than one hundred people seem to be even more powerful. They probably want to find the weakness of our checkpoint, so we must not let them get close!" Ding Qi said.
A general on the stone wall saw the red soldiers running closer and shouted loudly: "Shoot!" Hundreds of arrows flew out immediately and shot at the more than one hundred red soldiers who were running towards the stone wall.
Arrows rained down like raindrops, and the Red Soldiers were immediately staggered here and there, with nearly half of them killed or wounded. The rest of the Red Soldiers jumped left and right, trying to avoid being shot, but not a single one retreated.
The remaining hundreds of Red Soldiers who had not crossed the trench were still shouting, as if they were cursing, and also as if they were trying to attract the attention of the Bicheng Army and the Yutuo Army.
Everyone's attention was focused on the group of Red Soldiers who had crossed the trench. After the first wave of arrows fell, nearly half of them were killed or wounded, but more than a hundred of them still rushed towards the stone wall.
Then the second wave of arrows fell, killing dozens more.
The remaining dozens of them rushed left and right, and had already reached the foot of the stone wall and began to climb up.
The archers of the Jade Camel Army had no choice but to lean forward, hold their bows and shoot downwards. Some of these archers were carefully selected archers with excellent accuracy, and they immediately killed another twenty or thirty Red Soldiers.
After two or three more rounds of shooting, only four remained of the one or two hundred Red Soldiers who had rushed across the trench. However, these four were very agile, leaping left and right on the rough stone wall and dodging a fired arrow.
The leading officer of the archers was a middle-aged man in his forties. Seeing four red soldiers jumping around and none of the dozens of archers could hit them, he angrily dodged the arrow from a soldier's hand, took two more feather arrows, and shot two of them with a whoosh.
Aqi saw that not only was his swordsmanship extremely accurate, but the arrows he shot also created a cyclone, making a whooshing sound. It was obvious that he was a martial arts master who had activated the Force.
When the soldiers saw him easily shoot and kill two Red Soldiers, they all shouted "good job".
The red soldiers in the distance stopped attacking and continued to stand in the distance shouting towards the stone wall.
The remaining two red soldiers were one a Claw Clan assassin and the other a Hoof Clan barbarian. They were not only fast but also extremely agile. They seemed to be the best among the red soldiers.
The hands of the Claw Clan assassin had turned a withered grayish-white, their fingers bony and bony, their joints protruding. Only a thin layer of skin remained, and a faint sheen of scales shone on them, resembling a pair of gray bird claws. Yet, these claws were incredibly powerful. Climbing the stone wall, the assassin barely exerted any strength with his feet, leaping back and forth on the wall with his claws, as nimble as a monkey, he dodged every arrow fired at him.
The Hoof Clan warrior was quite different. His arms were short and thick, barely reaching his waist if held upright. But his legs were incredibly slender, and his feet were covered in hard black hooves, allowing him to plant his feet firmly on the protrusions of the stone wall. Furthermore, this Hoof Clan warrior was extremely agile and swift, leaping freely across the stone wall. Each leap covered several feet, sometimes even nearly ten feet.
