"The demon man is like a real beast. He also has tribal families and wives. He also knows that the stronghold in the north of Yanzhou is strong and that there are heavy casualties every time he knocks at the gate. Even if he knocks at the gate occasionally and plunders, he will leave immediately. Why bother?"


    Su Ling looked at the demon barbarians who rushed over on war animals outside the city wall and were harvested in rows by heavy crossbows. The demon barbarians and the fighting animals stepped down like iron towers, but they could not resist the tear of heavy front crossbows and arrows under the wrap of simple leather armor or iron armor.


    Seeing the lives torn to pieces and killed into flesh and blood, Su Ling was not as hard hearted as Chen Hai, Wu Meng and Huang Shuang. Seeing this scene, she couldn''t help but whisper to Chen Hai why demon man wanted to enter Yanzhou every three or five years.


    "Demon barbarians are not monolithic, nor are they splitting forces of different sizes, competing for fertile land with each other. The losers can only move to other places and compete for habitat land with weaker tribes or countries, but the winners may not be peaceful, and the large and small forces in the clan are also fighting for interests and power. When the internal interests are not divided enough, they can either split, kill each other, or turn the contradiction to the future Move to the outside, plunder and occupy more interests from the outside to fill the difficult desire -- when did Yanzhou stop these years? "


    Chen Hai tightened his face, looked at the fighting outside Hengshan City, slowly explained to Su Ling the deeper factors behind the demon man''s invasion to the south, and said,


    "There is also a special place in the north, that is, after autumn, the cold evil sweeps across the north, and almost all the land north of the Han sea can''t stay, and the herds will move south. Many demon and barbarian tribes move to Dajinshan and south of the Han sea every winter to avoid the cold and crowd together. They don''t want to breed more frequent contradictions and frictions inside, so they can only transfer them outside. At the same time, a large number of demon and barbarian tribes move south to avoid the cold and provide food Food is easy to be in short supply. Over time, it has become a conventional tradition to knock on the customs in the South and invade the north of Yanzhou. In recent years, the cold current in the north of the Han sea has become more and more severe, which has also exacerbated the severe situation in the North. "


    "So!" Su Ling sighed.


    Wu Jinglin stood beside Chen Hai. Unexpectedly, Chen Haicai led his troops to garrison the northern region for the first time. He had such a deep understanding of the demon man. However, what made Wu Jinglin more frightened was the fierce war outside the city wall.


    After the first wave of the demon barbarian offensive was defeated, a dark demon barbarian soldiers crossed the Tong River from the north and invaded and pressed south. This wave of demon barbarian soldiers, in addition to the fighting animals they crossed, drove slaves and blocked the front of the charging queue with simple chariots and huge shields, There were two or three hundred giant tusks in the procession of demon and barbarian soldiers rushing to the East Wing corner castle.


    Seeing this scene, Wu Jinglin was also deeply surprised. He was shocked beyond words. After a while, he came back to his senses and said to Chen Hai with an iron blue face: "Chen Hou, the demon barbarian soldiers entering the Hengshan defense line from the East Road are probably not pieced together by several small tribes, but most likely the forward combat power sent by the demon barbarian golden tribe..."


    The tusk Colossus, which grows on the wasteland in the far north, is seven or eight meters high and has more than 10000 kilograms at each end. After crossing the Tonghe River, the stout four feet trample on the snow field. Chen Hai and Wu Jinglin feel that their feet are shaking slightly at the head of Hengshan City, which makes people feel that even if there is a mountain in front, they will be knocked down by these colossus.


    In terms of body shape, the Red Lion War beast in Longxiang camp is also a little inferior.


    Of course, the combat power of the Red Lion War beast is much stronger than these Colossus, but at this time, there are only seven or eight Red Lion War beasts in the key Longxiang camp, which are assigned to Wu Meng, Zhou Jun and Le Yi as war horses. They are not extravagant enough to be assembled into a heavy armor riding array.


    Wu Jinglin has seen this kind of giant elephant with long teeth before, but most of them are demon and barbarian soldiers driving a small group of giant elephants with more than ten or dozens to attack their stronghold. They have not seen the scene of two or three hundred giant elephants going out together, and they are small corner castles gathering to attack the east wing.


    Chen Hai knew the meaning of Wu Jinglin''s reminder and frowned slightly. He didn''t dare to underestimate the demon soldiers outside.


    Demon barbarians are distributed in the north with the Han sea as the axis. In ancient times, they were called Mengzhou, which is much broader than Jinzhou and Yanzhou combined. Even though the distribution density of demon barbarians is much lower than that of the people in Yanzhou, the absolute number cannot be underestimated in such a vast land, with tens of thousands of tribes.


    Among the tens of thousands of demon barbarian tribes, only those with first-class strength can be called golden tribes.


    On a local battlefield, two or three hundred elephants can be assembled at a time to attack, which is not like a small tribe?


    Even if it is the Longxiang camp, it is impossible to assemble two or three hundred black scale cunning, red lion and beast in heavy armor at this time.


    The strength distribution of demon man is also in a pyramid structure.


    Although tens of thousands of troops can be gathered from dozens of small and medium-sized clans in many prefectures and counties, sending 10000 elite soldiers to top clans like Dong is definitely two concepts.


    The East and west corner fortresses built on the periphery of Hengshan city were built in a hurry. They only rammed earth to build walls. With one punch, they could smash several cracks. They could not resist the gathering impact of groups of war elephants. It is likely that the front wall was knocked down by the Colossus in the first wave of attack.


    At this time, more than ten stone throwing crossbows deployed in the corner castle on the east wing were launched one after another, but probably when they saw the impact of the giant elephant cluster, they chose 500 or 600 kilograms of stone bullets and threw them 3000 steps away.


    It''s just that colossus and demon barbarians are fast-moving targets. In particular, demon barbarians have suffered from the loss of stone throwing crossbows in the previous contact war. At this time, they also know the scattered formation. The first wave of more than ten stone bullets were thrown at them. Although they knocked down two war elephants and made them flesh and blood blurred, they can''t change anything


    Wu Jinglin also wanted to remind Chen Hai of something, but seeing Chen Hai''s deep frown, his breath suddenly seemed to be integrated with the whole Hengshan City, knowing that he was communicating with the generals with divine thoughts.


    Logically speaking, the six senses perception of the strong in Mingqiao state is promoted to the stage of divine consciousness, which can make people feel his real breath, but it can not directly condense sounds and images in other people''s minds. This is almost the magic power that can be mastered by the perfect state of daodan and even the strong state of Daotai.


    However, Chen Hai does not need to directly pour sounds and images into other people''s minds through divine consciousness. He compiles a code in the army to let the generals memorize it. He only needs to control the strength and frequency of the specific extension direction of divine consciousness, and can still communicate directly with the generals as far as 30 or 40 miles away.


    Chen Hai also taught Wu Jinglin this way.


    Although only the strong above the Mingqiao realm can transmit messages in both directions in this way, the six senses of xuanxiu in the spirit realm are sharp enough and can accept messages, which makes the battlefield more tightly controlled and the transmission of messages and military orders more effective and fast within the range of thirty or forty miles.


    At this time, Wu Jinglin saw that the launching of the stone throwing crossbow at the East Wing corner castle had been adjusted quickly. It must be Chen Hai''s order that he should give up using heavy stone bullets and use stone iron bullets instead.


    Each stone iron bullet is much smaller, only 50 or 60 kilograms, but more than a dozen stone throwing crossbows can fire more than 200 bullets at one time, and the coverage is much larger.


    The tusk giant elephants have thick skin and strong flesh. Ordinary arrows can''t shoot into the elephant skin at all, let alone hurt it.


    Fifty or sixty kilograms of stone and iron bullets, thrown from two or three thousand steps away, are also very powerful. Although they can crack the skin and flesh, they can''t form fatal injuries and lose their mobility.


    However, under the cover of this wave of stone and iron bullets, the formation of demon and barbarian soldiers on the East Wing slowed down.


    The tusk colossus may be able to endure minor flesh and skin injuries, but seeing these stone and iron shrapnel cover it, as an instinct of life, it will hesitate and have the impulse to dodge; The demon and barbarian soldiers and the fighting animals under them, no matter how strong their flesh and vitality are, can''t keep up with the giant elephant weighing tens of thousands of kilograms.


    Even if some elite demon barbarians are powerful and good at martial arts, they need excellent quenched gold shields to catch these stone and iron bullets in front of them if they want to avoid them.


    If you want to use the iron halberd and spear in your hand to chop the stone bullet, there is no gold quenched halberd or axe, or you can chop the stone bullet from the air, but the iron halberd and spear in your hand will certainly break.


    Seeing that the demon and barbarian soldiers who attacked the East Wing corner castle were delayed, Wu Jinglin felt the vibration under his feet again. Looking down, he saw that the main city gate and the four hidden doors on both sides were open together. Fifteen chariots roared out, and heavy armor riders, spears and heavy armor soldiers were scattered on both sides and the rear wings of the chariot to form a mixed formation to reinforce the East Wing corner castle.


    Seeing that Chen Hai finally dispatched the chariot camp, Wu Jinglin was excited and nervous.


    Previously, only a dozen old style mechanism crossbows were deployed on the main city of Hengshan and the walls of the East and west corner fortresses.


    Chen Hai never let the battle bird camp go out. After all, there are more than 100 battle birds in his hand. There are many demon and barbarian soldiers who are good at riding and shooting. Neither the battle birds nor the old mechanism crossbow can afford to lose. Therefore, Wu Jinglin has not seen the situation of the mechanism crossbow group.


    Of course, Chen Hai had not sent out the chariot battalion of the fifth war battalion before, and Wu Jinglin had never seen the new heavy bore crossbow, which was much different from the old mechanism crossbow.


    At this time, Chen Hai sent all the 15 chariots. Wu Jinglin was naturally excited, but he also knew that there were only 15 light and heavy chariots in Hengshan city. If the 15 chariots could not tear more than 200 war elephants of the enemy into pieces, then they would have no support to defend Hengshan city at all.


    At this time, Wu Jinglin was not nervous.


    In terms of tonnage, the war elephant is not as good as the light Tianji chariot, but it is not much different. Especially when trampling on it when running, the power is extremely terrible. I''m afraid a light chariot can''t resist the trampling and collision of three or four war elephants.


    The impact of heavy Tianji chariots is stronger, but there are only three, and the number is a little too small.


    At this moment, Wu Jing didn''t think that they were sure to win this contact battle. Moreover, the demon and barbarian main force in the north of Tonghe River also noticed that the chariot camp was dispatched here, and two or three thousand cavalry were dispatched in the rear to strengthen the impact of the east wing.


    In Wu Jinglin''s view, the next contact war will be a cruel fight between the enemy with equal strength, and the demon and barbarian main force in the north of Hengshan has not been mobilized yet


    The battle was difficult.
